Very fascinating. You argue that millennials favor restrictions on hate speech because they have not experienced anything like Hitler. Yet Germany censors hate speech precisely because of that history.

For a proper debunking, you need to address the fact that it's usually pretty easy to wring cash out of a business, but you can only do it once.

That's why longer term investments are preferable. It puts the focus on building sustainable value for its owners rather than balance sheet gymnastics.

Most of your argument here is in favor of liquidity, but that's not the issue in question.

You're also mistaking the role of stock exchanges, which are secondary markets. It's rare for companies to issue new shares to raise money. Not only does it send a bad signal and piss off existing shareholders, but its also one of the least efficient ways of getting capital. They'd prefer long-term debt.

The article contradicts pretty much everything you just said.
Superior is a strong word, if your preference is to bottom out flat keys then thats all well and good. I personally type like I am playing an instrument, pressing just enough to activate and then letting the key push my finger up. I find no enjoyment on typing on an apple keyboard, which I am now and it also causes me joint pain from all the constant bottoming out.
Political Prisoners in Spain? Is Spain Different?
The author is a professor of psychology, but he then goes on to grossly misinterpret the study on the "contagiousness" of "victimhood", as he calls it. That sort of throws a bit of doubt on the rest of his article's use of citations.
There are two important functional programming concepts absent from most Lisps: currying and lazy evaluation, so if a Lisp is used they'd need to be explained separately. Implementing them in Lisp would be a good way of understanding them.

If you want a more typical functional language without type declarations or monads, there's SASL. It's an ancestor of Haskell, but I don't know of any implementation which runs on modern hardware. Interestingly, SASL was once used to write an operating system.

This is why I always pull performance metrics in addition to impressions/clicks when running A/B tests. Not being in the media/creative department means I often don't see the creatives i'm asked to analyze the performance of so there are occasionally different creatives that have a stronger resonance with people with a higher propensity to convert. This is itself a learning and could lead to using that sort of creative more for acquisition focused campaigns, rotating it out of the upper funnel ad rotation and coming up with a new upper funnel creative to test for the purposes of building large audience pools.

> This is especially troublesome when you can't tell how many friends they invite through word of mouth.

Could you provide an incentive (gold/credit/whatever) for each new active user referred which could feed into the evaluation criteria of the test as far as the "value" that a particular conversion brought with it? Then I suppose it turns more into a LTV study.
By coincidence I just replaced my last Apple Keyboard with an MS 4000 today. I find it curious that they are both at the top of the list, even though I've never considered hardware latency an issue.
This is known as key rollover, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key)

It is a result of the matrix wiring of the keys, though more expensive keyboards will have them wired individually, mitigating this issue.
Flaps reduce stall speed as well as inducing drag; in the very short term, they prevent stalls.
When you edit one coefficient of a polynomial, you change its behavior everywhere. When you change one value in a lookup table, you're only changing the value for one point in time.

You're taking home about $1800 a month, so that still leaves another $1000 to fill out the rest (food, gasoline, etc). That's plenty of money. You aren't going to be making regular trips to Hawaii, but that's more than enough to do whatever you'd like.

Yes, but... the article suggests that in the long-term exchange, the voting power resets with a change in ownership.

So while a share that has accumulated a lot of voting power is valuable to me, you wouldn't necessarily pay any more for it, since the power doesn't transfer to you.
I get that. It just seems like every developer has a list of 15-20. They’re often different but the core few is ALWAYS there.

Every Haskell book I’ve seen (even those many years old) includes bits about how you should basically always have X, Y, and Z on and you don’t want to bother developing without them.

Seems like those should have become default long ago.

I get why some of that stuff exists in C/C++ land where people use GCC, MSVC, and LLVM among others.

But Haskell is practically a monoculture.

Good to see from sibling comments this is being addressed in the next standard.
I would lie if I said this isn't fun which is probably the reason why people do it in the first place even though their explanations might make it worse than just reading this:

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.10.0.0/docs/Contr...

Asking what a monad is is like asking what an iterator is. It doesn't tell you very much what it actually does because it depends on the implementation. The iterator is just an interface. A bunch of functions that have to be correctly implemented according to certain rules.

It all first started with lazyness. FP developers wanted a new modern language developed from the ground up. It should be a pure language. The haskell developers soon realised the evaluation order of a pure language must not necessarily be fixed. Eventually lazyness was born. Lazyness was a unique and very appealing feature for a purely functional programmming language. However as soon as a haskell program had to leave it's protective shell and interact with the real world lazyness turned into a double edged sword!
FizzBuzzes were printing their buzzes and fizzes out of order! Chaos ensued and haskell developers returned back into the shell. After long years of work they have finally discovered it! A mechanism to force the evaluation order of a program to be partially sequential again! It is a new type of container that allows you to put another type inside it. However sometimes the only way to access the contained value is by giving the container a function that takes a the boxed value as input and returns another container with a boxed value inside! The value never escapes the box. And so was the (IO)monad born! You can now take two IO actions a and b and turn them into c which is a combination of a and b where the output of a is piped into b. Not only can we send messages to the outside world, we can also finally receive them!

Everyone was happy in haskell kingdom until the imperative migrants started writing monad tutorials... (including this one)

This story is fiction by the way.

As a bonus for all the wasted time. another crappy analogy: A cage inside a bird is given a machine that puts birds in cages. The regular tool called functor that only replaces what's inside the cage would give us a bird in a cage in a cage! The special tool gives us what we actually want! The tool named monad gives us a bird in a cage! No nested cages!
Well, it can indicate what the materials are, like if it's solid wood or not. It can't really indicate how it's put together.
I disagree, I think we've had nothing but. In the developed world, we can't see the forest for the trees. Our gauges are centered elsewhere, and we can't even imagine ever running out.

But we do see what people are saying, and communicating and in general being unapologetic about. In fact it's all we ever see, is people lying through their teeth, pandering, proselytizing. Denying climate change, dog-whistling, cancelling firefly. We see it and hear it all day, year round. There's free and protected expression flying over our heads from every direction constantly, more than ever, and causing grief and harm that we see (well... perceive) and feel (or indulge). Still there is a perceived democratic deficit. It's a paradox, but we don't think of it as one, it's more like dissonance. Freedom in general and freedom of speech in particular is just not what it's trumped up to be.
Why are costs so high in the US? As a Canadian, where things are said to be more expensive than in the US, $30K CAD (~$24K USD) is more than enough for a person without dependents to live quite comfortably.

Yes, pilots are trained, and the design helps too.

You first rotate the airframe at Vr speed (velocity rotate). Pilots are trained on their aircraft how much to rotate, and the design of the rear fuselage allows for initial rotation.

Once you have rotated (ie. nose up) you wait for positive rate of climb, and you depart the earth, and possibly even increase your rate of climb. All without hitting the runway.

A couple of people have mentioned (or hinted at) formal verification. The problem is, formal verification produces working software much more slowly than other techniques.

If you go with optimistic assumptions, and you seldom say "no" to feature requests, your project will go badly.

They could have said "no" or "later as money allows" to a rooftop park, or to a beautiful facade, or to an additional review just two years after the previous review.

Another more modern and well-documented example of this would seem to occur in a 2015 write-up of the "Right Whale" competition in Kaggle: http://felixlaumon.github.io/2015/01/08/kaggle-right-whale.h...

Contrary to this author's claims, despite using data augmentation and a fancy modern CNN, a neural network trained to identify whales hit a local optimum where it looked at patterns in waves on the water to identify the whale instead of distinctive markings on the whale's body.

I don't buy the "this isn't a problem in real world applications" argument being made in this article.

Most mechanical PS2 keyboards are a diode cascade.

You pressing the key triggers a wave of electricity cross the keyboard which is converted into the PS2 waveform, and pumped out at the same rate of the incoming clock waveform.

OLD PS2 keyboards don't generally have internal digital micro-controllers, they're effectively analog, the logic they do contain is blindly simple. This is why some struggle with N-Key Rollover.

OFC this is if you are using an -old- PS2 keyboard. I'm still using an 80's IBM Model M and above it roughly how it works.

Showrooming any significant amount of furniture takes a lot of room. At that point you might as well have a separate store in the right location which may or may not be the same setting as the high-end grocery store. And, at that point, you've just reinvented the furniture store.
For those who say we shouldn't pay too much attention to urban legends about neural network failures, here's a real-life example of neural networks translating "inorganic cat litter" as "in organic cat litter" and thereby creating a real-life half-billion-dollar dirty bomb that genuinely exploded.

Yes, that badly behaving neural network(s) was human, and therefore far more sophisticated than any we can build yet. Which makes the problem worse and more real, not better or less real.
Seasoned gamers preload keys they are anticipating to use. On my keyboard I have less than a millimeter of travel from the preloaded point I use (which is right in front of the tactile bump and is quickly trained) to actuation.

In tacticale switches the bump and the making of the contact are mechanically connected.

Using the moment of finger/key contact quite obviously selects for travel, among other things.

No, no more than you need to understand group theory before you learn to add and subtract or ring theory before you learn to multiply.

Better to teach how to use specific monads without using the dread m-word, and then say "You know, these all have something in common" and then talk about monads, or these days work your way up from Monoid to Functor to Applicative to Monad.
"While I understand the desire to have 2% inflation across the economy, wouldn't the individual parties prefer to hold their cash in a deflationary currency?"

Typically, they'd prefer not to hold currency; they'd prefer to make an investment that gives a supra-inflationary return. This is, in general, good for the economy and the society.

"Put differently and going fast forward; how can you have a mildly inflating currency (eg. EUR) when there's a deflationary currency (eg. BTC) as a viable alternative around?"

Isn’t that model the same in normal furniture shops? When I visited the bigger ones (XXXL Lutz chain in Germany) they always had lots of furniture under their in-house brands, which I guess is relabeled other stuff. More funky then the names is the pricing, because it’s always reduced. You will never see anything for full price, it will always be labeled with something like 30-50% off. Which however just reflects real market value. that’s actually the thing I like most about Ikea. Pricing and product range are stable.

Some dubious claims, and what generation are you even talking about?

No, they didn't.
Of course you disagree. You literally make money off people who want to buy into the "Swiss dream". While certainly it is a great country to live in, it has its shortcomings. What I'm pointing out might not be a big deal for many people who are not planning to have children. But for others it sure might be a deal breaker.

> Yes but only when your kid is 2-3 years old. After that kindergarten is free.

Yeah, you just forgot to mention that kindergarten starts at the age of 4, and is not 5 days a week, the whole day. It's 4 days a week, 3,5 hours a day. The rest still needs to be paid at the same rate I mentioned before. So you are talking here without really knowing your facts.

> Why? You're probably referring to some regulations. Well, if you have a wife and one kid, you can legally even live in a 1-bedroom apartment (formula for legal limit of grown-up people per apartment is "# of people = # of rooms + 1" - source p. 29: https://www.ekm.admin.ch/dam/data/ekm/dokumentation/material...)

So you are basically saying that someone who earns a shit-ton of money should live in a 1 bedroom apartment with their partner and child? I just can't answer to that...
I'm currently using a mechanical 60% keyboard with the following layout: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/c7f9f0ac904b21...

I've been wondering about this for longer than I care to admit. I always felt the perceived responsiveness of my old sparc 20 was much better than pcs I used 15 years later, and I thought it had to do with keyboard latency and interrupt processing.
I'll throw a simple stereotype at this:

People are simply being raised into being part of a machine that supports them, down to their self-identity and worth requiring unwavering reinforcement to be "healthy", as opposed to a more independent view of the self that deals with both the good & the bad that comes in life.

Freedom means that others may or may not engage in supporting you, and that goes against fundamental social interaction being drilled in at public schools. Independent thought is punished, and strongly individualized personalities are medicated away and lumped in with the kids who have legitimate medical issues. There is no dealing with good and bad, there's only dealing with good and enforced elimination of anything that might be construed as bad, and "bad" encompasses more and more every social cycle.

People are simply giving up on the notion of the independently maintained "self" entirely, not just benefiting from support from society, but shifting to demanding that unwavering personal support from society. That's incompatible with freedom.

I'm not even talking about money or power. I'm simply talking about social interaction. Plenty of disadvantaged people across history held their individual dignity in how they personally acted, took care of their family, etc, regardless of how they're treated, or if they weren't going to be able to rise the ranks.
