wow! I find the images creepy and amazing at the same time :)

PS: It's not so much the images themselves but what they mean i.e. this analysis :)
Thanks for making this!

I think making them columns instead of putting them in the jsob column would make sense. Like we have a few top level properties that we currently use scan (ugh!) to generate some reports.

This is clearly a bad design and not what dynamodb should be used for. So using Podyn we could definitely improve this and having the top level properties as columns I think would make migration easier for a lot of people.

I have actually considered writing my own code (AWS Lambda) to do a sync like this, now I guess I won't have to.

Would it be feasible to make Podyn run in a scheduled Lambda function? would save us from having an EC2 around...
You assume free will there (and I don't necessarily disagree). :)
Firefox 57 doesn’t have WebRender on unless you explicitly turn it on; did you? It would be reasonale not to, as it’s still kinda buggy.

> The final report reaches two major conclusions:

> I estimate, that at typical policy margins in the United States today, decarceration has zero net impact on crime. That estimate is uncertain, but at least as much evidence suggests that decarceration reduces crime as increases it. The crux of the matter is that tougher sentences hardly deter crime, and that while imprisoning people temporarily stops them from committing crime outside prison walls, it also tends to increase their criminality after release. As a result, “tough-on-crime” initiatives can reduce crime in the short run but cause offsetting harm in the long run.

> Empirical social science research—or at least non-experimental social science research—should not be taken at face value. Among three dozen studies I reviewed, I obtained or reconstructed the data and code for eight. Replication and reanalysis revealed significant methodological concerns in seven and led to major reinterpretations of four. These studies endured much tougher scrutiny from me than they did from peer reviewers in order to make it into academic journals. Yet given the stakes in lives and dollars, the added scrutiny was worth it. So from the point of view of decision makers who rely on academic research, today’s peer review processes fall well short of the optimal.
It just seems bizarre that "highway trains" have to be reinvented alongside railroad tracks.

Aside from thieves, there's likely to be some mischief from the truckers whose jobs were taken away, or soon will be. They are already a group that's very tight, with lots of communication methods (CB, forums, newsletters, etc). And pretty good knowledge on how to disable/vandalize a semi truck.

I'd also expect more "insider" help than usual. Probably many truckers will be transitioned to lower paying roles and will be bitter.

I remember I was 18, at college, and was eating in the dining hall with my friends one evening. We somehow started talking about our favorite colors and I said my favorite color was yellow probably because my name looks so yellow. They stopped eating and stared at me like I was crazy. They asked how does your name look yellow? I was like, what do you mean, it just is yellow. Do words not have colors for you? And just saying that out loud I realized how bizarre that sounded and that I didn't have an explanation for it. I honestly had never thought that much about the fact that words had colors for me. They proceeded to ask me what colors a ton of words were and then tested me again a few days later to see if I said the same things because they didn't believe me.

And that's how I found out I had synaesthesia.

What I like most about this project is actually the repository of data sets. Curated graph data sets are hard to come, and the ones at SNAP have already been used in different publications, so there are fewer errors and, usually, a good baseline for comparisons available. Plus, the data sets are relatively diverse.

That still falls far short of allaying the concern in my opinion. I hope people rant about spreading and continue to do so for as long as necessary until it's changed. At least take the practice where this behavior constitutes "winning" and categorize it as something other than debate.
You're very welcome, and don't be hard on yourself!

It is easy to underestimate how difficult it is to give good explanations to non-experts, regardless of the topic at hand. I mean, just look at how how much I wrote about the choice of one word.

When writing for non-experts, an expert must imagine what it is like to not know the right answer. Our brains seem to be terrible at that: most people are unable to "not see" the cow in that famous gestalt picture once spotted[0], and I think the same thing applies to many kinds of thinking.

The only way out for an expert seems to be a lot of exposure to "dumb questions" (there is no such thing, of course) from non-experts, to figure out what logic the latter's wrong conclusions are. It doesn't help that there are many more ways to come to perfectly logical but wrong conclusions based on wrong premises, than there are ways to come to the right conclusion with the right premises.

And even once you are aware of these mismatches, you still have to explain yourself in such a way that there is a path from the incorrect interpretation to the more correct interpretation, without getting lost in trying to explain everything.

So no wonder that even professional educators and science writers, who are supposed to be skilled at this, tend to do a poor job!

Ah. I had Google Publisher Tags blocked, so loading didn't get far enough let DoubleClick try to load.
God told me so in a dream. Isn't that enough?

Maybe we better need some logic and work our way towards a solution. Having a solid base with well tested theories is a good start. It won't ever be fully bulletproof, sure. There is only one final way to find out. Try it. Maybe we should choose a plan that doesn't involve creating a better world only in the so-called "afterlife".
I have a Thinkpad T40s with intel integrated graphics, it struggles playing games. I’ve had WebRender turned on for about a month; it generally works well modulo bugs, which all bleeding edge software has, of course.
The GPU is still painting the screen at a set refresh rate (your monitor’s). Some monitors have variable refresh rates, but don’t go any lower than 30hz, and depending on settings like vsync the gpu might still be churning through hundreds of wasted frames. The latest iPads can go down to 24hz to save energy due to their custom 120hz display, but that’s a rarity.

There's nothing wrong/illegal with having a monopoly, what is illegal is having a monopoly and having anti-competitive practices.

Hence, you can only be investigated for anti-competitive practices when you have a monopoly because without a monopoly the free market provides sufficient remedies for such practices.
I understand your point. And in my post I mentioned that I could see myself making that type of posts. However, it comes down to how you describe the scenario and how your assessment was made.

There are lots of people on nextdoor who report things like "a black guy was walking down our street looking into parked cars, he ran away when I opened my door", or "I saw an asian guy digging in my neighbor's recycling bin, I reported him to the police", etc.....

I don't think there's anything wrong with that type of description. I find it very helpful.

I think if you or I were to report something to NextDoor, that's probably what we would do. We would carefully observe, report what we observe, and give reasons for why we think something's off. In fact, you did that in your post by mentioning your "cul-de-sac" and explaining your situation.

What makes me uncomfortable is when I see posts that make no effort to describe the problem, and just go straight to describing the suspect. That to me is an indicator of bias.
For trucks that don't follow the same routes every day (e.g. FedEx/UPS/etc.), even humans frequently have a hard time getting it right. "Oh, no, it's the other side of that bridge that's only for light vehicles. Yes, you'll have to drive around for two miles in heavy traffic to get here. No, it's the entrance on the back facing the tall green building." Etc...
Didn’t know that! I’ll be honest I was wondering what the hype was about because it didn’t seem that fast to me...

Okay it's time for me to chip in properly, forgive any typos I'm on a phone.

Preamble: I'm rated as an executive chef(my last 3 positions before leaving the industry), and I had worked for over 17 years in hospitality (from apprentice chef, to manager and executive chef - I also spent 4 years traveling to different restaurants to try and save them from foreclosure).

"That chicken is a confit (with duck fat, aka $$), then served with a stock/stew that takes days (of labor dollars) to prepare, plus cost of employees to serve"

I sympathised with the author until this point. No it doesn't take days in the way the author points it out, it takes minutes with a time to follow. (Eg you don't have to actually do anything after you prepare and set it). That's akin to saying a good jam or beer takes months - yes in pure time, but it doesn't take staff time(and $$ as the author said).

As for the hours? The author is correct, hospitality is a slug fest, there is no doubt about that.

What I take from this article? An unexperienced person tried to build a new business in an industry that didn't have the experience in.

Would you try to start a software business, a cloud storage or a trucking business without experience? No it would be foolhardy, and that's the biggest problem with hospitality.

Frankly if you're not a chef - dont purchase a restaurant. Anyone can cook one decent meal, now try doing 100 a day while managing costs and staffing. (That's just the basics, there are hundreds of things you need to do just to begin).

At the end of the day, I sympathise with the author, I have seen (and tried to help), a lot of people in that situation, but you cannot just jump into hospitality with money and assume that it will work.

Edit: typos ( thanks qwerty_asdf :-p )

Pay the mortgage & taxes and keep the building up to code.
When you're starting out, you're full of optimism about your success. I was too. But when you get down to actually doing things, you start to realise how hard it is to get first few paying customers, let alone hundreds or thousands. I think it's fairly easy to start a LLC in US, so I am not dissuading you from incorporating one but do realise that it is one of those things that can be done later; and personally, I feel, if you don't have sure-shot path to growing revenue, should be done later. I don't think taxes and liability are much of an issue when you're small.

I wasted ton of time in wondering about these things when I was making something just two years back, and eventually, I realised how less it would've mattered.
This is comically simple, if I'm understanding correctly.

The attacker watches the mempool for rancor txs, and creates higher fee rancor txs to frontrun.

In the U. S., it is common to count off one second of time with "one million one" (usually in sequence: "1 MM 1, 1 MM 2,..."). And if one desires to be accurate in the counting of time, one will say that at about a conversational pace. IOW, a commonly used method of estimating time says that conversational pace is closer to 180 wpm. Even considering the two monosyllabic words in this example, it sure as hell ain't 60 wpm.

EDIT: a quick DDG search on "conversational english words per minute" indicates an almost universal agreement of somewhere in the range of 140-180 wpm, as with parent's Google search.

> Skilled building trades like carpentry require at least basic algebra and geometry.

Great. Have that be part of carpentry training. Again, this type of training should be cheap/free and of high quality. I imagine a class of carpenters in training would be an incredible class to teach.

> Failure to teach science effectively leads to ignorant voters who believe that anthropogenic global climate change and evolution through natural selection are lies.

I guess your wiggle word there is "effectively".

Note that there are plenty of highly educated people who are ignorant voters, climate change deniers, and creationists. People seem to think that more and/or better education will change this -- it largely won't.

What matters for most people is what their community (esp. family) believes. The escape velocity required to break from those community beliefs is extremely high and generally involves the learner leaving that community to join another. This is a human condition and is not likely to change.

I personally think the best we can do is teach disciplinary approaches to topics such as science to everyone, and let them come to heir own conclusions. As a simple example, if a community of creationists are ever going to change, that change will come from within. Change will not come from consistent brow beatings from high-browed outsiders.
I was being hyperbolic, and the bit about washing the smell of urine off the seats should have been a real loud indication of that.

Did you know that if you make too much income you will lose your welfare? You can lose disability just for holding onto $2000 for someone. There are a lot of ways to lose welfare, and a lot of disincentives to get off of it. Being on welfare also gives you a large amount of disincentives towards finding a job.

That's different. Yes, their policy is that you cannot have a page of your site that you load in an iframe, then put ads into that child page. This is to prevent fraud and viewability issues like loading 100 invisible child pages in the background to rip off ad networks.

None of that has to do with how ads from their network are actually rendered when you use their tags. Adsense/DFP tags do use iframes for almost everything unless explicitly set to load directly on page, usually for legacy code or rich-media. The relevant help article is here: https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/183282

"...SafeFrame is supported in DFP and enabled by default when using Google Publisher Tags. Reservations serve into SafeFrames by default, but you can disable this setting...and use friendly iframes instead, if needed.... Some creatives, such as expandable ads or creatives that access your page’s DOM elements, might not render correctly in SafeFrames or other cross-domain iframes. We recommend updating these creatives to make them SafeFrame-compatible, in order to retain SafeFrame’s security benefits. If this is absolutely not an option, there are a few things you can do to allow reservation ads of this type to render properly..."

I code on a laptop, and I prefer it to big, dual-screen setups.

I do admit it's a very large laptop, but it doesn't have to be.

I code in Vim, inside tmux, inside a terminal. All of my ide-type tasks happen there. Tests, code, whatever else.

Then I have a browser open. I keep it on a different virtual desktop and switch between.

I'm a web developer so that's about it. Sometimes I have postman or insomnia open, and I typically keep that on the same desktop as my browser.

Insurers, in stark contrast to VC funded startups, are very conservative. I'm confident they'll rather not spend time and money now exploring something that's not going to be reality for at least half a decade, maybe ever.

This might seem like a brilliant idea, but you'll run out of money before you map all people for all things.

If you have so much money (spit balling here), you could buy google itself I think

There are easier ways to get data on people like their social profiles, and other online breadcrumbs like yelp reviews, any digital footprint really.

Another way is to buy databases of people. People have databases of HNIs, etc that you can purchase. This of course doesn't lend itself to much analysis but if the main purpose was to market to them or something like that, then databases work best :)
Meh - Where I'm employed, in my "flyover state", I get to use the technologies that I like, some of which aren't very mainstream, and also I really like the developers I work with.

Not arguing the money aspect, but there are other priorities as well, and I'm a bit tired of the assumption that money trumps all, always. So go ahead and think your smarter based on where you move, and I'll just keep enjoying where I'm at...
