It's very hard to tell, and ML's UX work certainly could be as intellectually bankrupt as you suggest but my read is they are doing a lot of detailed explorations around specific use cases in hopes of informing a larger/broader interaction design suite that can scale across a very wide range of interaction needs, essentially trying to reanalyze the problem space in much the way that led to the distillation of the Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointer schema at Xerox Parc.

Microsoft seems to be keeping its sights much smaller and making much more tactical delta off of existing concepts (eg. much of Windows MR interactions really is just floating traditional windows with traditional mouse and keyboard interactions).
It's all my fault. I've been eyeing a few sets but I haven't bought any of them... yet.

I'm one of the authors / people working on this. Yep, radiators like the ones on the ISS are pretty much the dominant/only ways to get heat out in space.

In response to your questions: yes, it can in fact cool below the ambient air temperature entirely passively (even during the day! -- which adds real value for cooling applications). We've shown in other recent work that you can use this effect to cool as much as 45-50°C below the ambient air temperature, if you insulate the radiator perfectly.

The reason this works here on Earth is that some upward thermal radiation isn't absorbed and re-emitted back to you. So if you start at the air temperature, looking upwards, you will be sending more heat out than the sky sends back to you. This allows an upward-looking surface to cool itself down until the heat going out and coming back to it balance out.

And "we may need to occasionally access your account on company-run email servers" is also a really different thing in contrast with "constant monitoring of peoples private communication". I doubt any company really gets a positive ROI on constantly monitoring people's chats, so it's their loss. I think other commenters have made a sufficiently good case for your work email not being considered private communication anyway.

I mean, you're also doing something catastrophically wrong personally if your privacy is dependent on a company wanting to read company-related data on their own infrastructure but thinking, "Oh, no... a European court might frown on this..."

It was nothing more than a political move.
In the past 15 years, the labor force participation rate has dropped 4%. I would argue that this is an indicator that we are already permanently losing jobs to automation, and this trend will rapidly increase going forward, as automation gains momentum. I lean conservative/libertarian on social issues, but I am adamant that we're going to need a "living wage" stipend for the people who simply don't have enough skills to participate in the future job market. I would further argue that unemployment and various entitlements are bridging the gap for now, but what's happening will become explicit in the near future, because it will soon be too obvious to hide.

For a long time, I complained that the US couldn't afford such a thing, but we've been running a huge deficit for decades, and no one seems to care, so why should we let a budget hold us back from things like a living wage and free higher education and a single-payer insurance system and any other entitlement you want to tack on?

Wrong. If a Linux process is blocked in an uninterruptible system call (typically for disk I/O), it cannot be killed, even with -9.

I have been unable to cleanly shut down Linux systems in the past due to processes getting stuck in this state.

This is something I do not understand with java as a webserver - doesn't such behavior show a major design problem?

"Lots of traffic" can be expected by any webserver software - handling "too much" of it in a not too painful way could be a design goal. Just spitting out an error on such a condition and making the site disappear is a little bit too simplistic for my taste.

I have seen this error on sites with java webservers many times - is this an accepted limitation in the java world?

I am not trying to be snarky here, I have lots of respect for aphyrs work, but I am really wondering about this "normal behaviour" of java webservers - how can an "enterprise platform" get away with this?

There are plenty of scenarios where you could end up in poverty through no fault of your own. illnesses(childhood), wrongful incarceration, etc.

There are also plenty of decisions that seem harmless enough(everyone else is doing them) that carry life long consequences.

"Copper = poison" is an oversimplification. Copper is also an important mineral, with 2mg/day a rough guideline for human consumption: https://ods.od.nih.gov/News/Copper.aspx (That number is at the very end, and that link also contains other interesting details about it.)

I figured it was a simple matter of navigation and not crashing into these monstrous obstacles. I could even imagine it becoming a slalom sport of some kind if the danger was not too high risk. Something along those lines. Should be interesting to see the optimum grid layout for these things and how that scale of spacing compares relative to the average length of a fishing trawler.
This. After a decade of marriage battles I think I'm finally getting a hang of it thanks to this. Saying yes instead of no. Quietly letting something happen instead of arguing for the opposite.
There's a website where the author correlates random datasets against each other and displays the ones with really high R values.

http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

With today's headline driven media, it's especially important to guard yourself against correlational relationships being implied as causative. It's not about saying whether something is true or false, it's about being skeptical and using the correlation as a starting point for further investigation.
Cross-class marriages have become much rarer over time than they used to be. But I'd expect a pretty likely outcome of that marriage to be a resignation handed in at the bar.

Indeed. Karl Pillemer also interviewed a bunch of people in nursing homes and wrote a book about it:

Nicely summarised steps. We went through the exact same process to launch our business. Tip: If you want to spend less than a $1000 bucks and launch even faster, start with a service instead of a product. That's pretty much exactly how we launched our business. Took us less than a $100, and grew to $10k/mo relatively fast.

Speaking as the father of a 9-year old boy, LEGO sets feel very very expensive. (Even though realistically speaking I can afford them!) I can only imagine how expensive they must feel to someone with a lower income level.

Buying from a used LEGO shop doesn't seem to offer much of a discount either. I found cases where it was even more expensive, since they deal with collectible sets.
As far as I understand it, they are not going to go digging if nobody is making a fuss.
> no matter how effective you can implement your tax measures, at the end of the day people can move to other countries and your own country starts to suffer more than it benefits from the increased taxes.

The first half of this--that rich people can move to other countries if they think they are being taxed too much--is certainly true, but I have doubts about the second half.

There are people who have as part of their drive a desire to see humanity as a whole better off than we were before, and there are people whose primary drive is "eff you, I got mine." That's the kind of rich person who will be the first to abandon a high-tax country in droves, and in my opinion we are better off without them: they are the profiteers who make life for those working under them hellish, who feel no responsibility for polluting and underpaying and ignoring externalities and racing to the bottom. What we want, who we should hope to see become successful, are principled people who understand that the riches which come their way are only possible within the context of a healthy society, and who are willing to part with a larger share of their fantastic revenues to ensure its continued improvement (while of course still being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor).

To argue otherwise, as it looks to me at least, is to argue that (1) the only way to make a lot of money is to be selfish and unethical, and (2) we still need that money in taxes (at a lower tax rate) to maintain a healthy society. I am sure I'm simplifying things.

> "When I'm contracting I always get paid 10 -30% more"

From my experience (and quite a few people in a similar situation), as a foreign contractor I am making ~50% less money than FTE are making doing the exactly same job just because of the country I was born in.

I am not charging this learning time because I don't want/need to, but I would certainly not work with a company who would require me to do part of the job for free. However I am in a privileged situation where I can choose. Forcing an employee to do a not-in-the-contract learning for free is exploiting them (because they could have other needs to do in their own time, family, other jobs, etc). If they want to learn something on their own time that would improve their work that's great and definitely a plus, but not everyone can do that.

I disagree. Bitcoin and all the alternatives beat traditional currencies hands down.

• Most of them are not prone to inflation, let alone hyperinflation.

• They work globally. Technically you don't even need the internet to operate - there are SMS gateways for Bitcoin, for example.

• If you control your private keys, no shitty government can't stop you from using your own money (not directly at least), no shitty payment system can freeze your money on ridiculous charges.

• The transmission fees for most of them are a few cents or zero.

Cryptocurrencies are going to win over the traditional fiat ones only because they are a better store of value, the rest of the benefits are extra that will only accelerate this process.

As such, the x-axis is a metric about the population, not the individual. I happen to use them a fair bit as I find them easier to intuit density from than the alternative, which is to plot on a single line with transparency.

All I know is I would have killed for some advice growing up. I was the first person in my family to graduate highschool, let alone college. I still feel I make bad financial decisions at times at 36 because I was never taught discipline and what kinds of goals to set. I've been learning hard lessons my entire adult life. I've worked hard and I'm proud to own a home, and my son will have me in his life as a resource.

My smartest choice was giving computer science a second chance after shortly "following my dreams" and signing up for anthropology one semester. But even that was luck, because no one was advising me on the impact it would have on my life.

Do they correct for age? How? It seems like they're just considering the raw divorce rate per year, but obviously software developers have a different age distribution than some of the established industry jobs, so the comparison doesn't seem fair.

Do you think that people who survived child abuse are unable to use the internet or read media? It's easy to find information about specific examples of child pornography by reading public records of court cases, and people who have survived child abuse are just as likely to make use of the dark web or be aware of porn related maters as anyone else.

People who have been through such experiences typically have extensive and long-running contacts with the legal and law enforcement systems, and at the ry least tend to maintain an awareness of their original abuser's custodial situation.

Just as there are networks of people who like child porn, there are networks of people who monitor its production and distribution. A few unfortunate people go on to become consumers or perpetrators of abuse in turn because they are drawn seek out imagery of what happened to them.

Be aware too that in many cases access to child porn collections are not traded for money, but for the submission of new material, so the distribution of it directly incentivizes further abuse.

Of course good choices are better all else being equal. The point isn't to absolve personal responsibility from the equation entirely.

You guys are trying to separate out these decisions you make from your upbringing, which is impossible. The decisions you have made, good and bad, were in some way influenced by your upbringing. Maybe you had a poorer education because your parents couldn't cherry pick a neighborhood with great schools. Maybe you had bad influences in the poor neighborhood because of the higher crime. These decisions aren't made in a vacuum, and pretending that your upbringing has no influence over your choices is just wrong.

In before anybody mentions "universal basic income", I want to remind that it was exactly the major selling point of Communism: machines will raise productivity to such levels that nobody will even need money, as material products will be plentiful for everyone.

This grand vision was unsustainable and led to millions of deaths.

Universal basic income is no less unsustainable (even government retirement and pension funds, which require much less money, are struggling everywhere). I really can hope that this false promise will not lead to similar catastrophes.

I think if you measure random unrelated data sets against each other you're quite likely to find spurious correlations. If you design an experiment between potentially related variables with a potential hypothesis on how they are related and then observe data that matches the hypothesis, you probably have a reasonable chance the hypothesis is actually the explanation.
How is purposefully implying that there is multiplayer a month before release not a lie? Had it been “uhm, yeah, we are working on that but have nothing to announce at this point” would have been a lot more honest. But none of the marketing campaign was honest—it was full of half-truths, inaccuracies and insinuations of something much grander.

Also, I think the end result being as bad as it was in many’s eyes create feedback loop on the negativity. This is not the first time a game has disappointed its audience due to an overreaching marketing campaign, but this was not much of anything at the time of release.
