It completely depends on your domain IMO.

If you're running case management for a large corporation with tight SLA's - you by definition need real time analytics.

Similarly for if you're tracking outages, downtime, etc.

All that said, the organizations I've been in do a good job of distinguishing operational metrics vs high level analytics done for quarterly reviews or metrics pulled from across the enterprise for the big wigs.

Maybe I've been lucky working for companies with solid reputation, but if anything I think sometimes they should have more numbers ready to shoot from the hip.

Unscheduled maintenance? It would probably be good to get an idea of how many people access the site/open cases/etc. during that particular time.
I suspect that will be one argument used by the Spanish authorities as to why the referendum was invalid.
Sounds like plain old theft! But they are a bank, so working as intended. Private banks, ah, what a cancer.
Sure, it's a fake prop to enable tighter political regulations online. The entire thing is a sham that Facebook and Google are gleefully willingly going along with. There is a long, disgusting history of powerful corporations in the US working with politicians to achieve mutually beneficial goals that relate to carving up the economic or political spheres.

The sums are laughably trivial, precisely because anything larger would be too difficult to set the fraud up for (anything that could be considered business significant, millions of dollars, would be too easy to tightly audit; plus the smaller sums play to the angle that it's easy for it to get lost in the overall, so the company doesn't look too extremely negligent; no doubt that was part of the deal Facebook and Google made in helping with the setup).
Thank you for sharing this. I've observed this with friends as well. As Tony Soprano once said: "There is no geographical solution to an emotional problem."
I know someone currently enrolled in a CS Master's program. I forgot the term, but they have to spend an extra year taking undergrad classes, since their undergrad wasn't CS. Their friends do the vast majority of their homework and projects for them, and these assignments + open-book take-home quizzes/tests (that they also get help with) count for enough of their grade that they can tank the stuff that you can't cheat on and still pass all of their classes.

I hope that they'll be exposed once they get to post-grad next year, but I doubt it. I don't know anything about being a master's student, but I'm assuming they'll just have their hands held by professors, and get carried through everything by their fellow students. They won't even need to reach out to people outside of the program.

Anyways, now I know how people finish a CS degree without actually being able to code...

Will Computers Redefine the Roots of Math? (2015)
The description by your link is from the Tsardom period, by the time when the title already acquired a different meaning (more along generic administrative lines).

In Ancient Rus, it was strictly a military rank, and simply meant "general" (or something roughly equivalent - a commander of a large military force, at the level where large-scale strategic considerations are as important as battlefield tactics).
I'm probably going to go back to get a PhD at some point in my 40s. Not because I want to become a professor, but because I think it'll be good to sit down for a period of four or five years and just think in the company of other agile minds.

Of course, this is only possible because I'll have made sure to have had an entire career behind me, and I will not be worrying about putting food on my family's table or keeping a roof over their heads. A PhD is to me, therefore, not a profession but an avocation. Something to do after you've done everything else. The idea of doing it a few years after college, with the intention of making academia your profession? That's terrifying to me.
The frybread @ http://www.sanxaviermission.org is amazing... along with everything else there. A delightful place to stop if you are in southern AZ.
Sorry, missed replying to this earlier:

*Audiobox and powered USB Hub, into the two USB Ports
*Often an ethernet cable with adaptor into the thunderbolt port
*Magsafe adaptor
* HDMI cable to external monitor
* Line in audio for speakers
* SD Card into SD card slot
* The USB Hub has: lightning cable for ios device, external keyboard, wacom tablet, usb mouse

I haven't yet familiarized myself USB C. Would they solve this issue? I think I would need a lot more hubs, since I count 9-10 connections on a typical day.
Conversely, if I write some bubble sort+ code at work I can’t make use of it at home and have to rewrite it from scratch because employers own all the code we write, even when it’s not even remotely in the scope of the business and is just groundwork bordering on boilerplate.

+ hopelessly contrived just to make a point.
Actually you can use ANY static site generator with github. Be it hugo, octopress, jekyll, hakyll or your own hand.

That should be obvious because the “host-ability” of a static site doesn’t depend much on the tool you used to create it. If it outputs html file, a http server will serve them.
As much as I'd like to see Catalonians have a voice in this, given that the referendum is was ruled illegal it seems unlikely that the "no" vote would come out in droves. One crime in protest of another?
Yeah ... if you are willing to take a boot to the face to vote, you probably want to change the status quo. But the boots to the face then validate the results and the rest will be history.
Hey, Sid. This is what I meant by my message that said you'd "had an employee working on Gogs/Gitea". Sorry if it was confusing.
Firstly, I'm super biased as I'm the CEO of a product analytics company where one of the value props is getting the data in real time. I agree with this post that people will look at single data points out of context and weight the evidence much more strongly than they should be. Analytics should be one of many tools you use that informs your understanding of how customers are using your product. I also agree that I see a lot of early stage startups invest way too much in building out real-time analytics stores without thinking about what they value they get out of it. That's not something you should do until you're in the 100+ engineer range.

That said, this is a post-hoc justification of why having real-time analytics is bad. Delaying the data by 24 hours doesn't automatically make significance testing better or force people to incorporate more context when interpreting their data. If that's the issue, fix that problem, don't blame the tools.

There's a ton of positive value to having real time data. Just off the top of my head:
1) If you've instrumented something incorrectly you can see that and fix it right away
2) Even worse, if you've accidentally messed up a feature with a release you can know about it right away. This happened to one of our customers recently and without a real-time analytics system they wouldn't have caught it quickly (and this is a tech startup that's well regarded for their engineering that everyone here would know the name of).
3) You can observe significant changes to your user base right away, eg during a launch or if you're getting a lot of new users from a specific channel.
4) It allows you to have more confidence in deploying multiple times a day. It's a little crazy to me that the deployment of a product is faster than our ability to measure it.

I think the real issue is that we're in the early days of analytics and people don't have a great understanding of how to leverage their tools properly. It's like web search before Google or file sync before Dropbox. People will look at single data points and conclude totally crazy things. They won't have an understanding of basic things like the amount of fluctuation on a week to week basis. The largest analytics provider in the world (Google) gives away their product as an ancillary service to drive you to purchase more ads, not to have a better understanding of how your customers are using your product. I'm hopeful this will change over the next 5 years though (and for us to be a part of that!)
Nothing is being served on a CDN, nor even being cached. It's just a demo running on Google Cloud with Kubernetes/Docker.
It sounds like you're talking about electron-style desktop apps, not React Native? They're quite different in architecture and performance.

A magnitude 7 earthquake releases approximately 5 PJ over less than a minute, so let's say 100TW. A Tesla supercharger provides 120KW, so even if the braking system is equivalent, you'd need 1B cars.
I don't agree.
If it's non trivial, I don't have the more advanced verification tools such as UVM if I prototype via FPGA.

The ability to perform constrained randomised verification is only workable via UVM or something like it. For large designs that is arguably the best verification methodology. Without visibility through the design to observe and record the possible corner cases of transactions, you can't be assured of functional coverage.

While FPGAs can run a lot more transactions, the ability to observe coverage of them is limited.

I have worked on multiple SoCs for Qualcomm, Canon and Freescale. FPGAs don't play a role in any SoC verification that I've worked on.
It's also common in EE/CE, but to a lesser extent. Here in the US, PhDs usually go to e.g.: Intel, AMD, Samsung, Qualcomm, defense contractors.

A Native American chef in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN is currently working to open just such a restaurant [1]. I've read a little about his menu and it does sound quite different from the euro-centric diet most Americans eat. This catering menu[2] seems more mainstream.

It will be interesting to see how he overcomes ingredient sourcing challenges. Many ingredients are far outside the current industrial food system. From the site: " We are naturally Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Processed Sugar, Beef, Pork, & Chicken FREE!"

It's absurd that in a Western 'democracy' you'd have the national police out to suppress a referendum and attack peaceful voters.

Good job Spain, you just legitimised the referendum and gave Catalonia a ton of international sympathy.

>A second-degree relative is defined as a blood relative which includes the individual’s grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces or half-siblings

You absolutely do not know the medical history of all those people to know if they have a history of schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, or bipolar disorder. People tend to not talk about their mental illness and these disorders can be well managed with medication. I have 17 aunts and uncles half of which I only see every 3-4 years and one I've never met. Do you think I know what their diagnosises are? Apparently one of my uncles had a really bad heart condition since birth but I didn't even know he did until it killed him in his 60s.

Plus if you just keep adding relatives you'll eventually get one with one of those conditions. You're more asking about family size at that point.
I really enjoy this kind of post. It's short, simple and something most people could figure out by looking at the problem. Even then, it's still something that makes you go 'huh, how would you do that?'. Until the intuition about toroidal space kicks in, that is.
PhDs are a research training scheme, not an academic training scheme. As the economy has become more competitive, and more of the population has bachelor's degrees, proven research skills (as well as proven skills at independent work, dealing with complex unknown problems, sticking at a long and difficult task for 3+ years to make a unique contribution, and solid evidence that you are at the leading edge of your field) are quite valuable in the industry job market.

Of the cohort of PhD students I went through with, from a rough guess (I haven't taken exact count), the most common role is now "startup CEO", followed by "engineer at enviable company", followed only then by "teaching and research academic".

The other side of the coin is that (in some countries) academic careers are changing, in that things are becoming more specialised between teaching and research -- funding crunches are pushing universities into letting teaching loads increase, while research grant funding is competitive largely based on "how many previous grants have you won" (which as it gets more competitive depends on having a lower teaching load to focus almost single-mindedly on research). A curious side-effect of which is that teaching posts are often continuing (there's a steady flow of students to teach) while at the start of a research career, research-focused staff may be on fixed-term contract (research grants are time-limited).

In other words, your family situation (how much you can move around to build a research career, how much you need a stable income) also has a big impact on your pathway.
>Voice of America

Anecdotally, I've literally never heard of this before.
Game theoretically, the fact that the Spanish government was so dead set against the vote implies that they thought there was a significant probability that it would be over 50% regardless. It seems like if a government resorts to violence to stop separatism movements, that violence is prima facie evidence that the separatist sentiment potentially represents the majority of a region.

I have actually been surprised by Spain's response to this. I have always assumed that self-determination was a principle that modern Europeans actually believed in, rather than something that was only a political convenience. I don't know that much about history, though, so perhaps I could be more cynical on the topic.
I participated in the Startup Alley 3 times and in Battlefield once. Here is my take:

- Battlefield gives you great exposure to investors and gives you some "validation" in their eyes. It is mostly true for noname VCs. If you network well, you will get some good connections out of it. That being said, it will not make your company. Even if it might seem so for a bit.

- Startup Alley is a complete waste of time, unless you sell to other startups. If you are starting something like Twilio, you will get plenty of early adopters in a few days.
Otherwise, there is no real exposure, no traffic, no VCs, and almost no business partners. TechCrunch loves to hype it up because they are making $1.7K on each booth.
If you are not sure why you want to participate, don't. Stay at the office and double down on your product and customers. YOu are better off spending your money on youtube influencers or what have you.
What would you propose in a situation where voting gets you beaten, and schools hosting ballots get smashed up?
Damn, those load times. This is on all my tests – fast internet or dialup, 2016 desktop or ancient android phone – significantly faster than the real HN.

This will crash and burn. You need a massive marketing budget to even begin to compete with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. And professional game developers will not support a platform without a large customer base.
You're right. I've never been to Spain, I know no one from Spain, and I don't really know anything about Spain, but I do know that using a militarized police force to stop an election, even one that is technically illegal, is pretty messed up and will only serve to further prove the separatists right. If you make peaceful protest illegal, you make violent revolution inevitable.

Even if it's illegal to declare independence, it should never be illegal to vote on anything. I have no stake in the outcome in any way, but at this point I'm rooting for independence. Spain has really proven that they're not worthy of ruling over Catalans if this is how they're treating them during a simple election.

> I am usually most worried about Americans since many have little experience with roundabouts

That's no longer a very accurate statement. The US has been on a roundabout building frenzy in the last ten years, particularly in the last five. We've gone from having a thousand roundabouts ten years ago, to having more than 15,000 now.

To put it into contrast. Ten years ago the US had about 1 roundabout per 10,000 intersections. That's now down to somewhere around 1 per 600x. Germany is at 1 per 300 (France is at 1 per 45). The US will catch Germany in that roundabout ratio within the next ten years. It's a large traffic change for the US in such a short amount of time.
$100k is only what's been proven so far. I highly doubt that's the entirety of the Russian influence campaign...

Calling a referendum is not a crime nor felony in Spain. For the No to win, nearly 80% of the census should have voted, and that’s assuming all new votes are for No. Absurd. Spain is over, it lost. Watch it live in the markets tomorrow.
I thought this analysis article was really thought-provoking and now I have uncertain and mixed feelings about the referendum: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/29/world/europe/independence....

Basically, when it comes to things like this there's a conflict between two international ideals: integrity of national borders and human rights. And there are some thought provoking ideas in the article. If you think about it, if all of Spain voted in this referendum (since this would affect the resources and borders of the entire nation), what would the result be? There are obviously major and critical differences, but if you look at another issue, Crimea, most people there would actually rather be with Russia. But obviously the rest of Ukraine didn't agree with that. And Crimea actually tried to hold referendums in the past that were blocked by the national government. The "referendum" that Crimea ended up holding (to legitimize the annexation) was declared illegal by the UN, but that's exactly what Spain's constitutional court did in the Catalan referendum.

Very complex issue and not as cut and dry as I had thought it to be.
Wow. Surely (and especially if there are red-light cameras) that'd be an automatic ticket, with fine and points? Same for not stopping at a zebra crossing. I can't say I've ever witnessed this sort of behaviour in the UK, except maybe as exceptional events shown on 'World's Worst Driver' clip shows on TV...

But that's not an issue with UBI but rather with landlords having such free reigns over the rents they are charging.

Rent control and protection of tenant rights are ongoing issues, especially in countries where renting is the prevalent mode of living, as such many countries governments are trying plenty of approaches.

The issue with the US being that it's a rather touchy subject to discuss, but its nonetheless relevant because more U.S. households are renting than at any point in the previous 50 years [0]

So a discussion about that particular topic is most certainly needed, but you can't expect UBI to fix every single problem on its own, no solution is ever as simple as that.

It was a question - so you agree waiting isn't an option (any more). I think to have an effective negotiation, you have to first "clear the air" in a sense that you aren't going to kow-tow to Kim, or pretend that he's anything other than exactly what he is. There's no future for the regime currently leading NK, so any real negotiation is actually targeting whoever is going to replace Kim. Taunting him (and watching how he responds) is a calculated part of this process.

The unanimous UN resolution, and the executive order which backed it up last week I think speak for themselves. [1] I don't agree with 38North's conclusions but they describe the order itself fairly well. I doubt very much that China will come out on DPRK's side at the end of this; we will get just enough out of Rocket Man to justify any strike in China's eyes.

I think people are putting far too much weight on an op-ed if they think China will militarily defend NK. What China is doing is walking back their mutual defense treaty from 1961 to make it clear that NK is on their own if they provoke an attack. They want to keep a deterrent in place as much as possible against a first strike against NK, but I think the reality is that China won't be there with tanks, missiles, or troops when NK falls. Or if they are, it's because they are the ones taking over. Come to think of it, I'm sure we would happily pay China $100+ billion in trade allowances if they would do us the favor.

My personal opinion is that if we do end up making targeted strikes against NK military installations, they will be with the promise of overwhelming nuclear strike if artillery fire were ever to touch Seoul. Like I said before though, I think it's much more likely that Rocket Man is deposed before that happens.

Spain is a relatively "young" democracy by Western standards. It took Franco's death in 1975 for Spain to start the transition to a modern democracy. That said, the Basque region has been trying to separate for awhile. Catalonia wanting to do so just happens to be a bigger fish.
