It’s not surprising, but it’s very important because all of the reasons are not obvious.

Sure, access to the network of peers that comes with elite schools has long been known to be one of the biggest benefits of admission.

But it’s also things like GPA not measuring EQ, or emotional intelligence. One example, at big companies that sell software, who do you think gets paid more (not counting founder status) the most talented and elite engineers, or the the most talented and elite sales people?

Some here don’t realize it’s common for an enterprise sales rep to make more, sometimes way more, than a developer. I don’t know who has higher average GPAs but I’m guessing it’s STEM majors over business administration majors.
> The financial system is a giant message passing algorithm. It is pretty much just a min-sum algorithm [1] whose sole purpose is to answer the question "what should we do?".

no, no no. To even propose that the answer to the question of "what should we do?" can be solved by the financial system is laughable; that is pure free-market absolutism.

The anwer to the question "what should we do?" is _political_ .

Let us not confuse the market with politics.
The parent's point was that there actually aren't many nails, at least in terms of race/ethnicity ("no diversity"). To me it looks like a good situation to be in, because such homogenous society should much more frictionless.
Yes. When you give someone with a terrible quality of life a lump sum they spend more of it on stuff that improves their quality of life than they would if it were distributes as small payments over time.

Look at what people do with tax returns. They spend it on big items that they couldn't justify budgeting and saving for otherwise.
My answer would obviously be there is none. You may have misread my comment as some defense of Gerrymandering when clearly it isn't. Gerrymandering is a byproduct of a broken concept: having tiny little districts in a world where people live in one, work in another, eat lunch in a different district, visit their parents in a fourth district, etc. This made sense 200 years ago, but not today. And any fix to Gerrymandering doesn't overall make a dent in the problem of fair representation.

My counter-question might be something like:

"Could you tell me what difference fixing these individual cases of Gerrymandering would make to outcomes across our congress as a whole over the past 20 years? What helps our democracy more, fixing the technical problem of gerrymandering but not improving representation, or removing the technical feasibility of gerrymandering to exist and so doing provide a fix to the problem of representation?"
Some of it has to do with the history of psychedelics. At least in the US, the 1960's were rife with "psychedelics cure everything!" and they were pretty broadly used in the psychiatrist community.

What happened was that a lot of the promise of them didn't pan out. Then the laws changed and it made it much harder to do research.

So in essence, it's not just one reason why psychedelic research pretty much disappeared. Unmet expectations, lack of funding and stringent laws all contributed to it.
I started testing topics and the lack of technical resumes actually made me wonder - how will they continue to get more?
I wouldn't recommend Japan for this btw(I live here currently), it's fairly difficult and cutthroat at the moment. I do have a friend in Taiwan that is trying to convince me to go over though fyi :-)
I also use a cross-platform framework that "renders every pixel". The two major problems I had are the lack of native input and the integration with native ad SDKs. I solved the input with overlaying a native input view on top of everything but it's very clunky and have to be careful to keep it the topmost in the view hierarchy. I haven't found a solution for native ads.

Most of the other things are relatively easy to solve if they come up as actual problem.
this is pretty close to the sweet spot for me. being able to map rows to object easily + being able to easily compose queries are what i want from my 'ORM'. if your SQL layer doesn't support chaining conditions you end up writing it anyway so being able to do .and(condition).and(condition).and(condition), etc is pretty useful. ActiveRecord in rails comes close to this but it also manages relationships as well which makes things a bit more complicated but not as complicated as what hibernate or other ORMs do.

> It's hard to blame under-educated people for falling for Fox News propaganda, but you still can't deny their complicity in enabling their own situation. What they did in the general election to defeat Hilary they could have done in the Primary to support Bernie. They didn't.

I don't blame undereducated people. I blame people who care more about illegal immigrants than the disenfranchised citizens suffering in poverty in the US. I blame urban liberals who have no comprehension of the plight the poor in the US are suffering through. I blame upper management of the Democratic Party, who rigged the nomination (along with super delegates) against Bernie Sanders, and I wish nothing but terrible, terrible things on those people.

EDIT: Hillary Clinton is nowhere to be found after her crushing defeat, and Bernie Sanders is still out there every day fighting for universal healthcare and other pro-citizen policies (alongside Elizabeth Warren). We suffered a terrible loss because of Clinton's vanity and pride.
I'm sorry that you've experienced that kind of thing, but hopefully you also realize that not every urban area is like this, and maybe your neighborhood is or is becoming less "good" than you originally believed when you moved there.

There have been many examples. Some involving people very close to me. Some involving clients, who I can't talk about.

I'd encourage you to ask maintainers themselves. They aren't hard to find online. They're often happy to tell stories, the first time and the hundredth time.
If you really care about the security of your data at this level (or external factors force you to care!), you shouldn't be using a product like BackBlaze.

In a commercial setting, you need to control the infrastructure and security artifacts. Otherwise, old fashioned physical controls are effective, trustworthy and have more legal protections than any of these products at a cost of some convenience.
The response was very negative, just to clarify:
Sublime is a good editor. I've used it for work and side projects and it is great.

And in great part, Atom and VS Code could be said to be clones of Sublime. So don't take offense here.
If a one-bit error causes the sign bit to flip, your position can go from 129,121.34 to -129,121.34. Obviously this is rare, but it seems mistaken to say that the simulation's parameters can prevent errors arising from this.

Also, it's not just physics simulations that are at risk. Voxel renderings are especially susceptible to one-bit errors.
That's because rural Chinese or Cambodian makes a lot less than a rural American described in this article.
Every single one of these alternative layouts is a load of hot garbage. The reason the current layout is good is because it's good enough and familiar. If you have a problem with thumb reach then make the pad smaller, move it closer to the thumb, or make it easier for people to input the number through other methods than keypad.

We can recognize QR codes, heck, even do AR on a phone. Surely identifying phone numbers via the camera and inputting them that way would be easy and a measurable improvement over the current method of mashing buttons.

Since dialing a number by hand is such an infrequent operation, inventing some wonkball new standard for it is a super bad plan. There's a lot of other things you could innovate on and come up with real improvements, like how you might make a better audio playback control system, or re-visiting mixing tools (equalizer, cross-fader, effects filters) for music to make them easier to understand on an intuitive level.

The dial pad is fine. Leave it alone.

....because security teams have great working relationships with all the the owners of all the content platforms in an org...

Just make an abuse@ or security@ catch-all for your mail server and point all your domains' MX there. If you're worried about spam, build in a bounce-back that asks for a signed email to make it past the bounce. Security researchers can figure that out.
It depends upon what the options are. If you can demand and get good data, then people will ask for good data. If they don't think it is possible to get good data, then they may demand no data because no data is better than bad data.

For an extreme example, consider a country where homosexuality is punished by long prison sentences (or worse). Would you trust any data that such a government produced? If they produced data showing something negative about homosexuality, would you even spend the time to look at their methodologies? Or would it be dismissed as inherently biased as the source would be seen as being incapable of being trusted? For me it would be the latter.
xhrpost said "eventually". Not now.
The Raspberry Pi results are really cool to see. Sure, for a highly-tuned library like cuDNN the existing operators might be close to as fast as you can get, but it's unlikely that every platform where it may be interesting to deploy a deep learning model can get the same amount of attention. I hope that these results mean that in many cases we can get highly optimized implementations without exhaustive manual effort.

Agreed. Though the point about interest from debt incurred from military spending could equally apply to all other spending categories so wouldn't change the proportions.

In any case, the largest area of spending growth has been social and entitlement programs, even if one excludes veterans-related social spending and controls for the effect of demographic changes on entitlement outlays.
This is a story about middlemen.

30 years ago, the supply chain for recorded music went something like this:

creator -> music label & radio -> retailers -> audience

Now it's something like this:

creator -> (label) -> digital platform -> audience

Huge power is concentrated in the platforms, which essentially combine curation, distribution, sales, and marketing. They control pricing. They control the playlists. They control the relationship with audiences and understand them far more than record retailers or radio ever did.

Labels now provide questionable value -- I would expect that some platforms may start to move into that area, in order to guarantee exclusivity, which is one of the few ways for labels to establish competitive differentiation. This is already happening in other media, such as books (ex: Amazon-owned book labels signing top authors or strong up-and-comers) as well as Amazon video and Netflix funding promising scripts and creative teams.

What can artists do? They have a few cards to play. One of them is exclusivity. Another is the ability to build their own connections with audiences (often using free or low-cost communications platforms). And dedicated audiences will do what is asked of them, within reason.

Some also perform, which is one of the few areas to make money these days. But platforms are also horning in on that pot. Ticketmaster is ruthless when it comes to manipulating pricing and forcing artists to play by its rules.

If I were an up-and-coming artist, I would concentrate not on becoming a "star" but rather making music that both you and your audiences can love, and building indestructible bonds with audiences that they will follow you no matter where you go, whether it's jumping platforms, going on tour, buying new march, or taking part in other activities that respect their love for the music while helping you make a living.

After using it to actually upload that shot, I just realized it captured and shared much more than just the screenshot. It captured and shared the page title and domain of the page I took a screenshot of. That seems like quite the security risk given that I wasn't notified such was going to be shared. Imagine if I'm working on a dev server or a private place on a public server. It seems that when people want to share a screenshot, they want to share just the screenshot in many cases.

In other words: how to 1) motivate the author to publish project as L0 and 2) motivate the author to keep working on it. Am I right in my understanding of what you are saying?

If "yes" then it is a reasonable question. Some complex projects have quite narrow potential audience to get sustainable cache flow (from new license buyers). But are valuable for those few who already paid.
And where is seccomp used (by default)?
What kind of psychopath-filled nightmare land do you live in?
All my projects have .git directories inside them too. So creating a .git in top directory makes them submodules.

To fix that right now i'm using a mercurial repo for the top directory and .git inside my project dirs (since BitBucket supports both). This works for now but it's not automatic like Dropbox and there are size limitations. So just wondering what the most elegant solution is.

I don’t know enough about Butteraugli (in particular in the range of very very tiny differences in the image) to know whether it’s a reasonable metric for comparing dithering algorithms.

Why do you think this Riemersma method does better at that metric? Maybe it just keeps the diffused errors spatially closer to the original pixel?
In particular, a system usually cannot prove itself consistent. However, we have developed systems expressly for the purpose of being as consistent as our intuition for logic could allow it to be. I'm willing to trust Metamath [0] based on the formalism that they've chosen, which is a dead-simple term-rewriting formalism that is suitable for building pretty much any mathematical structure, given enough time and effort.

A better question would be whether, in a theoretical sense, fault-free algorithms even exist. There are similar questions, like whether one-way functions exist, where we have lots of evidence to suggest that the answer is "yes" but we have yet to prove it.

Slashdot didn't need to limit voting so severely. And it turns out replies to funny comments are usually funny and interesting comments are usually interesting.

I originally set out to do L0 with a noncommercial license only. Then I had half a dozen good conversations with copyleft friends, who pointed out that (1) they really liked what I was doing, (2) they'd never use anything but a copyleft license, (3) even the (A)GPLs were compromise implementations of the values they really hold dear.

Open Source licenses can't discriminate against groups or fields of endeavor. But groups discriminate against Open Source all the time. A strong copyleft license could be both Open Source and nearly as effective as a noncommercial license in driving financial support to OSS maintainers. Under L0-R, companies can choose: Either they make their work available as Open Source, or they support others who do.

I'm not too worried about people pirating my music. It's already up on Spotify and Apple Music legally and I make no money from that. Most people I know in smaller bands are not in it for the money and support themselves through other jobs. I'm happy as long as enough people turn out to shows and have a good time and we make enough money to help out a bit with practice space rent or gas and food while on tour. People who are into it are supportive and do buy tangible assets such as records or tapes at shows or order them online. There are enough people out there who'd rather pay for a record they can hold, look at the artwork and listen to as a complete album instead of just skipping through some mp3 files or hearing a random song in a stream. I'd say that people coming out to shows and buying records and merch is what helps us keep creating.

Saying Justin Bieber gets some of your money isn't really the whole story. Justin Bieber's songs are streamed billions of times a year, so his music accounts for a very significant percentage of total streams, and consequently use of the Spotify platform. Thus, he is bringing an outsized amount of value to Spotify, so he rightly is deserving of more money.

Again, Repartee is free to pull their songs and sell them directly to you if they think that will bring them more fans and more money. It's kind of funny for two consenting parties who both use a platform to complain that the platform is treating them unfairly.

I do. No that extra $12 won't help you get out, but God's be damned drinking myself stupid certainly didn't.(I tried drinking it, that certainly didn't help).

What I did see, and realised more and more as I struggled, was that those few drinks was just an excuse for the people around me, to not do anything.

Oh sure, when there was a bunch of us, they were rather elequent I. Their own way, about what they would do - tomorrow, or perhaps next week, or even once they had just a few more dollars. It never happened though.

Out of everyone I grew up with, I am the only one to actually get out. Which shames me, I often wonder what I could do to have helped more, to bring people with me. But then I remember what it was like there.

Those $12 a month spent drinking isn't money that could be saved, it's the opposite, the temporary high that ruins you for many more hours than it provides.
