It wasn't the word "quit" that was being objected to though; it was your equating quitting to being homeless (in the very same first post in this thread) and then further saying you think many others would also rather quit and be homeless than work with MongoDB.

That's a bit too dramatic.

Next time, just say "I'd rather quit than work with MongoDB again", and you won't have this problem.

>they were custom-designed!).

I used to work at a VC funded company that had a $10,000 custom couch (which sucked, totally uncomfortable, the custom dollars went into the shape/making it fit) and prolly 10x that spent on custom lighting fixtures (also terrible, ridiculously dim for a work space, but looked nice). In a super high rent urban area. I assume they make up the difference with glass walls and giant open spaces. This is (unfortunately) how offices are built these days.
Are they all proprietary/closed-source? When I was first learning about Clojure I really wanted a native JVM compiler, but as a hobbyist I was not about to go all-in on an enterprise compiler. The only FOSS solution I found was GCJ.

That, and "the JVM startup is slow!" seems to be a popular argument against Clojure and Scala here on the Intertubes.
Per crunchbase they raised their last funding round on a pre-money valuation of $1.6 billion. Since the market cap now is less than that valuation, why is the coverage saying this is a big success? It seems to me like this is a down round of some sort. Does anyone know if I am missing something here? Or does this type of down round not really affect the employees common stock?

Lockheed Martin is actually incredible in the scope that it influences government. The reason the F-35 continued to have such strong support even after numerous reports of design flaws and massive cost overruns: Lockheed spread the development of the F-35 over 46 states, so almost any Congressman who acts against the F-35 program acts against jobs in his or her own state.

I re-read the comment, and disagree. The preceding sentence is: Fiske controls the venue and is (mis-)using the "scientific venue" to denounce her critics

I'm having trouble finding a charitable way to read the claim that someone is misusing a scientific venue.

And much more to the point, I doubt even more that the subject of those sentences (or the e.g. tenure/promotion committee of that subject) could be reasonably expected to apply such an abundance of charity.
As someone outside the scientific-academic community, I find his posts very accessible for learning news/issues about studies. I greatly appreciate his passion in trying to stop junk science from reaching the media. Maybe his rhetoric is too brash and coarse for the respectful standards of scientific discourse, but it's as harsh as it needs to be for scolding media outlets for running with junk science:

My wife's comment was "I can get all these ingredients at the local super market and there is a lot of prep work".

> Second, yes, a doctor can write "DAW - dispense as written", however most insurance companies won't cover the originator drug if a generic is available. The patient is then on the hook for the entire cost. That's a strong incentive to go generic.

I've heard rumors of the insurance companies backing off of this stance in the past few years. Essentially, since the ACA puts a hard cap on profit margins, insurance companies are looking for ways to spend more so they can have the same margins on a bigger pie and still increase real profit year after year. Policies like relaxing generic vs proprietary let's them achieve that in a controlled manner.

The part that seems to be frequently missed in the analysis of military spending is that most of the top-ranking countries have a significant domestic arms industry which receives the bulk of that money.

A good working definition of a good researcher, to me, is something like "strong opinions, loosely held".

I don't think Cuddy, or anyone else, deserves to be dragged through the mud because their idea turns out not to hold up. That happens all the time, and it's not a bad thing at all.

You start to deserve that dragging more when you become too attached to your pet theory and cease to be able to drop it in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

You really deserve it when you use what political capital you've acquired to stomp on your critics despite the fact that they're actually right and you're actually wrong.

What's interesting here is that a lot of the Sayre's Law-type political machinations are taking place on a much broader stage than normal. If someone was to go after my work with this kind of exposure, you bet I'd be defensive too. It's entirely possible to have a fair and neutral conversation about research practices without shanking someone's reputation because it seems like the field needs a sacrificial lamb this week. Nobody wins, and certainly no good research is advanced, when the knives come out like this with no evidence of actual malfeasance. (And, frankly, even when there is evidence of malfeasance. like with the STAP controversy, which lead to at least one actual death.)

Thanks for the great comment. I agree that you need to learn the grammar of a language. I personally have a pretty hard time internalizing grammar rules. Our head curriculum designer always makes fun of me because I want to ban tables of things (conjugations, etc) from the world. I can study and memorize it and then when I go to use it, totally miss and it's frustrating. But if I hear a sentence structure 30 times in a few weeks, I will often naturally start using it.

We try in our system to teach grammar through the same spaced repetition system - presenting a rule and then giving you a cloze test and spacing it the same as vocab. So we can know, for example, that your second person plural conjugation is weak and often missed, but your first person singular is strong because you always nail it. Then we can try to show you exercises that make you practice the weaker thing when you're in a live session, to reinforce it in a different environment and make sure you can produce it orally too.

Most recent research that I've seen, and the linguistics researchers that I've talked to, seem to conclude that there is little difference between being implicitly and explicitly taught grammar. That you don't need be explicitly explained the rule to use it consistently, but that the important thing is that your focus is brought to mistakes in form and you make an effort to improve those mistakes. There are a hundred studies on this and they all seem to come out slightly differently and generally not very significantly. That said, learners often like to know the rules, even if it's not significantly helpful for long term retention and production.

I would caution against recommending that people pick up a grammar book unless it's an incredibly good one. Most are dry and difficult and assume you know the vocabulary of linguistics, which most people don't. As we said, language is a marathon and it's hard to stick with if you're immediately and mind-numbingly bored, which grammar books are good at. I personally prefer to get communicative and work on fixing my grammar as I go, since it gives me momentum.

I like the middle ground that Chatterbug has taken. The grammar testing is interactive and you can reinforce good patterns when talking with human beings in a spaced way. I know my grammar is in many cases wrong when speaking in German, but most people don't seem to find the mistakes I make at my level particularly problematic, and it gives me time and confidence to focus on the forms that I'm getting wrong.

What's really funny to me is that watching my own videos right after I do a lesson, I notice many of my own grammar errors, because I'm hearing them and have time to think about them, but I don't always have time to pull stuff properly when in the heat of trying to formulate and speak a sentence in real time. But I belive that helps me improve faster and stay motivated.
PostgreSQL JSONB doesn't have a dedicated driver though i.e. you can't do partial updates via the JDBC/ODBC drivers.

Which means you can't use it for any big data/analytics use cases. MongoDB has fantastic client libraries e.g. Spark, Java.

Nonprofits are still private research (private != For-profit) and hhmi operates janelia farms, which is not attached to a university. Glynn research was not connected to anything. Still I deliberately omitted places like the genomics institute of the Novartis foundation and the Craig venter institute, since they are more closely tied to industry. Not all of their results are directly profit driven. For example gnf's protein structure database effort where they systrmatically crstallized most proteins from an extremophile, was a huge tour de force in basic science, though they did complete it over a short time frame because they could.
No. Again, I’m refuting your claims, which I repeated back to you, with personal experience and am attempting to do so civilly. If I misunderstood your claims, I’m not the only one; sibling points out the same point I’m making back to you. (You’re also not addressing that misunderstanding at all, if so, and are instead throwing malice around and assuming people aren’t reading even when they repeat the exact claims you seem to have made.)

I care much less than you do whether they’re “legitimate,” I assure you. You’re projecting not reading on me, to be perfectly honest. Why on earth would I litigate my account status with you, of all people? It’s amusing you think I need to be reminded that you’re the wrong person for that, because I already know that. To me, just to be direct about this, you represent among the worst of HN’s qualities as evidenced all over this thread.

You’re just wrong about HN changing. It hasn’t. Yeah, dang and sctb announce bans now. There’s more to it, and in my experience, many of those decisions are just as arbitrary as they were when pg ran this place.

Everything else is an uncivil sideshow you’re dragging me into. Endgame: you’ll remain you, I’m probably stacking up further penalization rising to it, and life will go on. How about sticking to the fact that you’re wrong instead of exploiting your status to be as uncivil as you are with no fear of the exact repercussions you claim have softened because you’re not exposed to them?
> Next time, just say "I'd rather quit than work with MongoDB again", and you won't have this problem.

Fair point... “I would quit rather than work with MongoDB again” is more accurate, but still encapsulates your point.

The point I was trying to make earlier and did in a way overly dramatic for you is that I’d never take a tech job again if it meant I had to use Mongo.

> Well, except that maybe she wouldn't have gotten a Ted talk without it?

A recent BBC event aimed at solving problems faced by women in tech flew Amy Cuddy in to give design and professional advice to the participants. The BBC story repeatedly celebrated Cuddy for giving the "second most watched TED talk ever". It also talked up the "Wonder Woman power pose" as a way to change your life.

Notably not present at the event were Cuddy's co-authors Carney and Yap, who have been vastly more receptive to the replication question, and less quick to promote uncertain results in non-academic channels.

Scientific falsehoods are almost always more impressive than the truth - they aren't constrained to realistic effects. At a certain point it starts to look like we're actively rewarding people for doing bad research and then rewarding them further for refusing to correct course.

I had the same experience.

Me and my SO ordered on and off for a few months, mostly just to try out new recipes and get ideas. Out of everything we tried we've only gone back to make 4 or 5 of the recipes on our own (without re-ordering that meal).

The waste is the biggest issue for me. The price point is a little high, but if you're not relying on it for every meal it's not terrible. The amount of cardboard and plastic that came in every box was absurd.
I Heart My Engineering Notebook
Thanks! It sounds like an interesting result, presumably there will be fairly rapid efforts in the field to replicate these findings. (I'm influenced by the fact that this was published in a decent journal.)

In order to have some sense of how these findings relate to the notion of "dyslexia" as used in public life in western countries we obviously need to look at how the case cohort was selected. They say:

> all encountered difficulties in reading, spelling, writing and recognizing left from right

Presumably that means that every one of the 30 had problems with all 4 of those tasks. Possibly this is a narrower definition than that used by the public / educational psychologists -- I think they often diagnose dyslexia without requiring left/right confusion as a symptom?

You have to think about how it benefits the overall economy. Typically this has been by replacing menial, low-paying jobs with more leveraged and better paying ones. But in the industrial age these upgrades were still creating jobs the average person could train for in a few months, and then follow for the rest of their working life.

But there's no guarantee anywhere that this is how it "has" to work out, and as things accelerate there's a lot of evidence to say it's not going to be that way for working class people in highly developed economies. (It seems to be ramping up developing economies much the same as it worked for us.) If you don't have a paycheck, are you really benefitting from the "overall economy"?

You are cherry picking. You did not reply to these parts of what I said:

It has been documented that when a job becomes a predominantly female job, society tends to pay less than when it was a male job.

The crux of the issue here is that no matter how you slice it and dice it, on average, women make less money than men.

We can debate all the live long day exactly why women tend to make less than men, but that is an established fact. Furthermore, when teaching was a male profession, it paid better than after it became a female profession. This is such an established phenomenon there is a term for it: The Pink Collar Ghetto.

Your original remark top which I was replying was this:

Why are you not asking why out of 100 janitors, or 100 trash collectors there are only 1 women?

I love how every time this subject somes up it is always how there is a lack of women in tech, never pluming, janitorial, auto mechanics, etc. Only Tech.

And I am telling you women already do similar work to janitors. It just has a different name and pays less. You are moving the goal posts. Your position seems to boil down to "No matter what you say, I am fine with women making less money than men and I will justify it to the end of time."

So, I regret trying to engage you. This does not seem to be a good faith argument and your remarks come awfully close to being personally insulting to me.

One of the reasons people talk a lot about the lack of women in tech is that it is a highly desirable job. You know that. You know that janitorial work and plumbing is not nearly as cushy, attractive or well paid as IT. You are de facto objecting to any concern expressed about "Why are the cushiest, best paid and most prestigious jobs held almost entirely by men?" and tossing in a lot of flak to distract from that question.
Literally everyone I know who has used it does exactly that, including me.
