I feel like this has to do with Equifax basically not being punished in any major way over the last breach. Their stocks are still priced reasonably well, most of their board is still intact, and US citizens are still required to work with them for credit reasons.

And the worst part is, I have no idea how I as a person could say "I don't want to do work with Equifax because I don't trust them." And if anybody has suggestions on that, I'm totally open, because if Equifax was a dripping faucet, they'd be flooding the house by now.
Feel free.
Avoiding repercussions for bad security is pretty much consistent across all industries.
Don't underestimate how bad smoke is for your health. If you are in an affected area, try to work from home, stay indoors, and order in.

These days you can even get groceries delivered and laundry picked up, so take advantage of that and save your health!

You can also buy portable air purifiers online and have those delivered as well.
I'm a little disappointed in this post given China's penchant to controlling news/media/content.

I see how this could easily be manipulated into an extremely powerful propaganda tool - especially hiding behind a guise of "algorithms" are doing all the work - and yet it is not mentioned at all in the post.

We have already seen how content systems like Facebook, Google, and Twitter can be manipulated via botnets, but when a central power manages this it can obviously get significantly worse.

Does this concern you as an investor who lives in America?
Norwegians spend the late 1800s and early 1900s quarreling amongst themselves what should be the standard for written Norwegian. Should they take the heavily Danish-influenced written language common in cities, or should they use something closer to the dialects spoken in the rural areas?

Eventually, their parliament ruled that Norway shall have two official written languages and all government documents will be published in both.

For example here are their parliament websites in both Nynorsk ("New Norwegian") and Bokmål ("Book tongue")

https://www.stortinget.no/nn/

https://www.stortinget.no/no/

Estimates vary, but maybe about 12% of Norwegians use Nynorsk as their primary language, and 88% are Bokmål users.

Standard Cognition (YC S17) is hiring deep learning researchers
We're solving one of the hardest problems in machine vision and we're looking for great researchers to help us do it.

Here is a real time demonstration of what our research platform can do today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeS8TJwBAFs

The first application of this technology is for fully autonomous stores. We have some of the biggest retailers in the world lining up to get this technology. If we can deliver it, we will capture the $500 billion / year checkout market and change the way billions of people interact with the world.

We have a great team of PhD's, even better non-PhD's, and amazing engineers. We're looking for:

Senior Researcher

You're passionate about increasing the comprehension ability of computers, especially in difficult and cluttered environments. You think general scene comprehension is possibly AI-complete, but you're working on it anyway because the field is so promising and moving so fast. You're published in top journals or conferences but also want to deliver a product that changes how we interact with the world next year rather than in the next decade. We're creating and mastering challenging new data sets. Help us do it.

Research Engineer

You breath academic papers and love implementing new network modules. You probably audibly swore when you read the recent paper on the Squeeze Excitation module and immediately implemented it in one of your classification experiments. You know how the loss function and network topology differs between tasks such as semantic segmentation and action classification. This is a résumé neutral position: we don't care if you have academic or industry experience, if you know your stuff and are passionate we want you.

I know you're joking but that's still a bullshit metric and a risky one to make if they are looking at only taps + total time. It's not increasing ad revenue, extending meaningful engagement time, or user happiness.

Having worked in analytics for a long time I've seen countless examples of metrics like these being needlessly optimized so I find it harder to laugh at.

I think you have the right answer, this is a multi-year event and some mean reversion is to be expected.
You shouldn't have to.

I recently started a role where I work very closely with a guy from southern Kansas. He speaks with an accent that I would associate with hicks, farmers, non-intellectuals. And true to form, he was raised on a farm. But he's smart, hard working and great to work with. Every day that we work together, I'm learning things that I wouldn't have otherwise understood.

No one criticizes him for speaking with his dialect of English. He doesn't have to code switch. He speaks the way he speaks, he's understood and respected. That's what's different about AAVE. It's not just that it's not the dialect of power, it's a dialect people seem to go out of their way to not respect.

Of course, you're not wrong—you have essentially zero leverage.
Of course I see the value to asking a person if they want help before offering advice. I don't go around telling random people around me to go exercise and meditate more. I don't even tell that to friends who I suspect might benefit from it. When I am on an internet forum talking about mental health, I do bring it up because the context seemed perfectly fine. I also bring up those topics when I am having conversations about health, which I have regularly, but in a very general manner... like recently with a friend I had a conversation about how mindfulness seems to be a very effective way to manage emotions and was asking for feedback on ways to make it more appealing to people.

Do you see the value in advocating people prioritize their diet, sleep habits, exercise, and mindfulness more (while also trying to provide tangible ways they can do that)? Do you see the value in making it seem OK for people to go seek out therapy, and "normalizing" conversations about it? Because I notice there is still this ridiculous stigma many people have when it comes to seeking help for mental health, which prevents people from doing so, or even having conversations about it. And having a conversation about it is all I am trying to do here. I hope you have noticed that throughout this discussion I never gave my advice to you or anyone else on how they should deal with their depression.

I first though it was about "Gex: Enter the Gecko" 1998 (a Super Mario 64 like early 3D platformer): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gex:_Enter_the_Gecko

But the article was about Gex 1995 (2D platformer): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gex_(video_game)

Trivia:

"Gex Enter the Gecko" (3D, part 2) used the same 3D engine as Tomb Raider 1 (from CORE Design). Crystal Dynamics improved the engine with every game (like Legacy of Kain) and in the end Crystal Dynamics won over the Tomb Raider franchise with Tomb Raider Legend (2006), where as Core Design's engine fork looked old-school by then and basically killed the company. Even to this day "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is still based on that engine, obviously much improved over those many years. (source: check the Wikipedia pages)
Huh, I've tested on a bunch of devices/connections and haven't encountered that. Do you know what causes AMP to be that slow for you? I'll take a look at serving non-AMP pages by default. It will require tweaking how image inclusion works.
The kind of licensing here would (or should) provide significant negative consequences for malpractice, possibly including revocation or suspension of the license (and therefore prohibition of working on projects requiring licensed engineers) and even civil or criminal penalties. It also carries credibility and protection: a licensed engineer has a duty to report employers' attempts to circumvent rules like Equifax hypothetically would have done, and legal protection for his livelihood when he does so.

It may not prevent truly unscrupulous or spineless engineers from capitulating, but it's better than the current situation.

I've been subscribed to this podcast since his 2nd or 3rd episode. He's had some interesting guests.

It's not "finance" per se. It's anyone granted a carte blanche privilege of some rent to exploit. This is almost always granted either directly or indirectly by the government.

How has finance made it possible? By getting the government to subsidize the industry for all existing entrants at the expense of people who may have better, more progressive ideas about how to manage the financial system. Also at the expense of people in general.

It was one of the rare games where the Genesis version bested the SNES one. I had a genesis and always felt the sting of having the lesser-than version of everything and could only jealously read about the better SNES versions in gaming magazines.

I played the hell out of my genesis Aladdin cartridge though. Fantastic gameplay.

Tunnel boring is orders of magnitude more expensive than railway construction, at typically ~a few hundred million dollars per mile vs ~a few million dollars per mile. I know Musk has plans to magically make tunnel boring significantly cheaper but you need two orders of magnitude cost reduction to make the tunnel digging not cost more than an entire above ground railway.

I think it makes perfect sense.

My friends and family all speak deferently at home. Just off the top of my head: Greek, Norwegian, Vietnam, China, Punjabi, Native American, Iran, Ireland, Latino, British... A coworker is from
South Carolina, his kids tease him about his accent whenever he talks to family (“talking country”). Seems perfectly normal.

Heck, I probably have my own dialect (Heinz 57) and don’t even know it. No, scratch that, I can generally tell when I’m talking to another local.

Our society puts a strong onus on people suffering from depression to seek out treatment. Which, don't get me wrong, oftentimes works and can genuinely improve people's lives.

But what if depression is a sign of a deeper societal / cultural / teleological incompatibilities with what naturally makes us happy or fulfilled? What if the real solution isn't to (just) treat individuals but to build the kind of world where depression is less prevalent. I'll repeat myself to avoid misunderstanding, every person should seek out and has the right to be provided with best possible treatment if that's what they need, my point is that it's a start but not enough to address the root cause. There are statistical relationships between rates of depression and modern "developed world" lifestyles.
Analysis of news organizations with robust membership programs
As a Canadian with a thick Newfoundland accent (which is not exactly considered an intellectual way of talking), I feel that I can relate to talking differently when with people from Newfoundland.

I have had to learn how to limit my accent. Growing up in public Canadian schools we took language classes to minimize this accent. While these courses are no longer ran, I am thankful that I was able to take them.
Since there most definitely were Christian Vikings even in the early days (later they were all Christian), it seems quite probable that some would have also converted to Islam.

But I agree that embroidered pieces of cloth doesn't really say much at all.

It's also pretty strange that the article seems to say that Vikings got the idea for an eternal life after death from Islam. First of all there are very similar ideas in Norse Paganism (cognate to Greek and Roman Paganism), even if it's not in paradise. Secondly the idea also exists in Christianity, and by the 9th century most of Europe, and many Vikings, were of course Christian.
That is Mountain Taijun, 7000+ feet peak with national AAAAA-rated tourist attractions (and not in Beijing). So no, I don't think that's smog, probably just fog.

Exactly this. Yes, Bitcoin is having another bubble moment because folks are trying to get rich quick. But, the underlying technology—the reason why Bitcoin has stuck around despite countless "deaths"—is that the existing financial system is a glass floor on the verge of shattering. We can live in denial all we want about what that means.

Bitcoin, though not perfect, is the first viable solution we've ever seen as a means for preventing financial corruption. Not to mention, it enables banking access for billions of people who don't have it. It makes transfer of large sums to _anywhere on the planet_ inexpensive. It's divisible down to 8 decimal places (a satoshi), making it a great fit for micropayments. These are just the top of mind solutions.

There are ideas we haven't even thought of yet. Bitcoin is programmable money, meaning the possibilities are seemingly endless.

I have yet to see any breakage of any of my projects on stable break after an update with rustup to new versions, and only one on nightly.

There are some deprecation warnings that I've had to cleanup, but otherwise, it's been an amazingly stable upgrade process since the 1.0 release.

We've got some preliminary plans to use it for a monitoring application.

We want something with high uptime and resiliency that's going to be relatively easy for us to learn and deploy. We've used PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB more in the past, but those were for smaller applications that didn't have significant uptime requirements.

We could figure things out with PostgreSQL and decide on a fault-tolerant setup, deal with sharding, etc. But it seems like CockroachDB will be an easier path forward, and also make scaling much simpler.
Why ruin your own health when you can pay other people to do it for you?
Natural languages are not designed. Pun intended. Afaik languages are more or less cannonised after people have already started speaking the language. If there is a large enough group talking in a certain way who's to say it's wrong. Every word has at one time been made up. If for example enough people decide they don't care about "their" or "they're" then "their" it is (or "there")

> ala Thunderf00t

Just watched one of his videos on this--interesting and thank you for the pointer. Agree with you on his overstating the deadliness of pressure pulses. 30 kg of TNT is a lot of energy, certainly enough to knock your infrastructure out of commission for a couple days. The "everyone dies if the tube is punctured" argument is hyperbolic, though.

The materials science problem is the thermal expansion. And not the longitudinal one that Thunderf00t mentions. It's the transverse expansion. If these are above ground, the top will heat up relative to the bottom. That's a nasty problem to solve while maintaining the structural integrity to keep a giant vacuum with speeding capsules in place.
The primary purpose of language is understanding. Forking a language to convey some sort of cultural distinction has the unfortunate side effect of making this more difficult.
I did not major in linguistics but I had some very engaging linguistics professors at Rice. Linguists consider themselves to be descriptive and typical language teachers in grade school to be prescriptive. In other words, linguists take pride in describing what native speakers actually do in practice rather than what they are instructed to do. So if they catch a native speaker doing something the "wrong" way they'll classify it as an error only if native speakers will agree that the example in question was a mistake because it doesn't make sense in the dialect. If native speakers agree that whatever the speaker did actually does make sense to them, e.g. they're fine with the usage of "ain't" or split infinitives or whatever in everyday speech, then linguists will consider that to be a genuine example of the dialect. But linguists are quick to point out that what is correct changes all the time because words and phrases used by native speakers naturally erode and morph and new ones are adopted, and trying to nail down what is correct is futile.

The force exerted by the atmosphere on an evacuated tube is the same as the force exerted on a standard-atmosphere filled submarine diving 10m beneath the surface.
A 100kPa difference.

And since they explicitly do not want a high vacuum - some residual air inside the tube is necessary for the hyperloop concept! - they don't have to deal with advanced tech like turbomolecular pumps. Simple displacement pumps will do.

And taking the light rail north of SF to the ferry and then the Embarcadero in SF takes longer than driving when my brother commutes, but he still chooses that method. Perhaps there are factors other than time that go into his calculation.

People would take HSR even if it took the same time as driving. They would likely take it if it took an extra 20%, as the time has more utility to them when used for a train ride. That it's actually faster than driving just makes it more attractive.
