> What's interesting to me is the big technology/infrastructure/media corporations that are escaping this broad brush, including AT&T and Comcast.

Doesn't everyone hate AT&T and Comcast already? The danger with the Big Five is that a lot of people still think of them as loving providers of wonderful things.
That's an awfully generous way of describing what happened. Here's another way of looking at it. Wall Street took Main Street's good union jobs where workers had a stake in the value of production and sent them to desperate people in poorer countries with basically no worker or environmental protections.

>And please don't argue for tariffs and such. Trade must go on if only for the security of the current world order. When trade stops, war begins, as Jack Ma has put so astutely.

I don't support tariffs, but there's no need to extend to the level of ridiculousness. Trade with Mexico was happening before NAFTA and it would have continued without it. But that's irrelevant because that's not what I was proposing. Worker and environmental protections could be added and enforced without ending free trade. And changing our tax structure to be more weighed towards consumption than production couldn't even possibly be twisted to sound like it was referring to a tariff.
Blue Apron meals are not priced like restaurant meals. At least, not like comparable meals served at a restaurant anywhere near where I live.
If you have $1 billion in sales and you cannot make money, when can you make money?

My understanding of the literature is largely that n-back training doesn’t generalize effectively, mostly just improving ones ability to perform n-back exercises.
If they could launch a consumer price level AR device in the next 6 months I would agree with you.

However last I heard on the product front the price point that was being floated was $3000 which is way out of the consumer ballpark and into the business ballpark where hololens is already gaining traction.

The thing that surprises me about Magic leap is investors exuberance. Even if they totally nail the 1st gen. product they've still got a mountain to climb in terms of beating out well funded competition who are ahead of them in terms of shipping product.

Hopefully 2018 will see them finally ship, so people can move off speculation into evaluating what they've got...
I have been using python2 for veey long time and a lot of software that I've written is made with it and is providing consistingly value to me. I have no idea why these people want to kill the technology that has brought so much value and joy to my life.

If you like python3, great for you. But why do you want to kill python2 if other people are happy with it?
We're still in Fulton Market, on May and Hubbard, a short walk from the Blue Line on Grand. I'm not entirely sure how we got this office in this specific location, but I think it had to do with the building itself being on the market.

I should be clear: it's hard to compete with WeWork for the 4 people we have in this office (I think we pay slightly less here than we'd pay for 4x WeWork berths) --- but having our own office is a phenomenally better deal as we hire more people, since we'll be paying the same amount of money in rent but can easily park another 10 people in this space comfortably.

So I should clarify that I think WeWork is an amazing deal for very small companies and, in particular, for solo worker locations. Part of the problem with WeWork is that it's precipitously less of a good deal as your company grows.
I would argue that immersing yourself in a native environment is hardly a simple thing. It's expensive - often in money, but always as an impact to your life. If you have a job, or spouse, or kids or pets, how does this work. I've actually done this and each one of these things is a huge problem. If you're a young, single person who can work remotely or doesn't need a job, then maybe, but that's not most people. If you do need a job, getting a visa to work in a new country is also non-trivial and often impossible.

It's also not just on you to "force yourself to speak a language". You need someone to listen to you. When you know 20 words of a language, cornering anyone to practice with is difficult and somewhat unfair. You need to know or meet some people who care enough about you to have some really horribly slow and boring conversations for a very long time while you improve. If you're not paying them for that time or otherwise reciprocating, then it can be a somewhat selfish thing to ask them to do that for a long time.

It's also very hard to pick up vocabulary implicitly from conversations unless you have some base. My German is good enough now that if I don't understand a word I can ask them to rephrase it using other words and I can often get it. Children can do so just from environmental and contextual input often, but it takes them _years_. So you still have to spend a lot of time studying and building vocab on your own in order to try out.

This method certainly can work, as I did mention in the blog post, but it's far from simple.
The “even though I’m not an expert in the domain... because coding fix everything” part of your stereotype is not accurate in this case (see Scott’s reply), but even if it was, the approach and attitude you criticized is how some of the most original new solutions to tough problems have started. If someone’s bothered to make something, at least give them the benefit of neutrality by evaluating their actual output.

Some of the ideas in the pipeline for high-altitude launch to orbit vehicles and hybrid vehicles employing scramjets may exceed this. Assuming the current arc toward private advance aerospace projects continues, I wouldn't be surprised to see things like sub-orbital passenger flights that exceed that speed. (Edit: that last may depend on what the precise definition of "entirely within the atmosphere" is).
I really wish I could integrate this into macOS' spotlight
I have, plenty of times, so glad I ditched it a few years back - the amount of performance related issues was astounding too.
Do something that feels important.
Maybe a tech/sysadmin job at a non profit that involves coding once in a while?

It doesn't seem like you like academic environments, but if you do a PhD might be a nice idea.
I have been running sway on Arch on an XPS13 for the past nine months. As a longtime i3 user, I found the transition as painless as I could have hoped given the bleeding-edge nature of the wayland+sway stack.

A couple of findings from my time with sway:

- It was non-obvious how to tweak keyboard options (I like remapping capslock to ctrl). Various XKB_DEFAULT_* environment variables have to be set before starting sway.

- Firefox used to render poorly due to HiDPI scaling issues. Those seem to have been resolved and FF now works like a champ.

- I was excited about using alacritty as a wayland-native terminal, but it does not yet work with sway. It can be run as an X11 client with sway without issue. Hopefully the wlroots situation helps resolve the remaining issues with alacritty.

- Integer-only display scaling made it somewhat challenging to achieve my sweet-spot for my HiDPI display. I ended up not scaling the display (scale=1) and adjusting various font sizes. I'm happy to see that wlroots will enable fractional display scaling.

Sway has made an X11-free system viable for me.
I only tried briefly but it's $10/person/meal if I remember correctly. On the low end but it's quite possible to get a prepared meal at that price.
LD50 vs effective dose still matters. Some drugs are inherently more dangerous than others. (This is not a jab at illicit substances — tylenol is problematic.)

But yes, we're very much realizing that DEA scheduling is not based in evidence (and actually prevents gathering of further evidence).
It's like you didn't read my comment and instead just decided to litigate further whether your penalties are legitimate. I'm the wrong person to have this conversation with, because --- just to be direct about this --- I do not care.
Even minor things like picking a product name had impact. They also implemented most desirable features (the gotcha was that they were half assed, but if your evaluation was also half assed as is usually done you won't notice it)

I actually chose it back in 2010 project and on paper MongoDB looked better than other databases. MongoDB name as they mentioned originates from Humongous Database giving false impression that it can scale well.
I guess it depends what you're looking for, everything from price point to frequency of use.

I have a Businessworld Gold membership, and for its price (which is significantly lower than a similar WeWork membership), I can visit any "business lounge" location in the world. I don't use it every day, nor even every week, but when I'm on travel, I have relied on knowing they will have solid internet and a relatively-quiet place to focus.

For the price and my use case of infrequent visits, Regus is fantastic.
We use Hello Fresh. They're still iterating on the logistics side on a weekly basis - different shipments may use totally different packing materials. Initially there was a _ton_ of packing material waste every week, now it's way down. Big plus.

They're starting to cross-sell with wine pairings, which makes me think they're needing to drive LTV.

The problem I see is they haven't managed to build anything defensive. I've got not real brand loyalty, they're not capturing much information about my meal preferences other than what I order, and we're starting to get repeated meals. We'll probably cancel before the end of the year, even though it's been an enjoyable subscription overall to date.

I'm not bullish on 'em, but would love to be proven wrong. :)
Word Embeddings: A Natural Language Processing Crash Course
I think one of the big benefits of these tools is providing common knowledge between developers. It is a huge headache for a new developer to walk into a project where someone is building their own solutions or using uncommon tools.

If you want to find someone who can walk into your project and start updating/debugging the gulpfile or dockerfile on day one, that is completely doable.
These records are tracked by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, and they put spacecraft into a separate category. The speed record for manned space flight is held by Apollo 10.

Here's some good jumping off points:

It seems like if that is the draw a lot of people are going to cancel their subscriptions once they feel a bit more comfortable and have a basic repertory.

Is there really a substantive difference between losing your head to a guillotine and being lined up and shot?

(The NYT begins the metaphor with "revolution", parent extends it with "violent revolution", and I switched out one form of violence with another).

That's just not true. Opioids are a standard part of pain management. There are plenty of people who will be taking opioids as a breakthrough pain management technique for the foreseeable future. That makes it quite different from a "1 and done" type prescription model.
The article says:

> … files go in, and a handful of small helper applications automatically comb through each one in search of malicious clues. On the way out, every file is given a score, which lets analysts sort old, familiar threats from the new and novel attacks that typically require a closer, more manual approach to analysis.
I seem to recall a group of Saudis flying planes into buildings some years ago before the US went back to war in Iraq & Afghanistan. I'm curious how your logic follows? Seems to me the largest terrorist attack ever in the good ol' US of A (world?) precedes your hypothesis.
Huge flame wars get a lot of upvotes and lots of comments -- but it's essentially the forum equivalent of candy.

Sez you. The unspoken premise is that nothing is so important that it's worth stopping to have an argument over. Perhaps I'm misreading your views, but when they're tossed out as an aphorism they come off as smug rather than substantive.
I guess in that case the plan is after their money-losing prices drive competitors out of business and they can cut out the drivers with advances in autonomous driving. Both far from assured, in my opinion.
Perhaps we should be teaching scientists that staking their identities on particular results is to be resisted as much as possible.

Science is about finding approximations of truth that are least influenced by the local context.

The whims of a particular scientist's ego (especially if you are that scientist!) make for a rather nasty contextual influence.

Of course, this is a difficult ask, but constantly striving towards this ideal is absolutely essential.
An e-ink option is mentioned but I wonder where they can even find a supplier for the screen. I looked but could never find one.

I elaborated a little bit in the past here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/devdocs/T9_FsjB1kHw

I've been thinking about writing blog posts on DevDocs's internals and the techniques it uses for a while, but it's hard to find the time, especially when I already spend a lot of my spare time maintaining/updating the app.

That said, feel free to open a GitHub issue to remind me to write blog posts at some point (if there is interest), or if you have specific questions.
In Java static methods are a particularly simple way making clear to the compiler and runtime that a given functions does not have side effects (to instances of the owning class). I can imagine that, as a pattern, they would assist escape analysis.
Buying home appliances a few times an year and watching recommended shows and movies could generate that amount (for young people with disposable income, at least).
> Confining scientific critique to scientific venues seems like a reasonable bulwark against this sort of thing.

I don't think turning a call for greater scientific rigor into a political fight is desirable, but neither do I think that confining this struggle to scientific venues is desirable (or practical, for that matter).

EDIT: wording fix
> that having the misfortune of the one-in-twenty chance of getting a really interesting false positive at p = 0.05 means you either have to double down on the study being right after all or you have to quit the field?

There were (are?) enough degrees of freedom in the field in every study to always meet this threshold.
You've picked me up entirely incorrectly if you think I'm of the opinion that nation state actors are innocent.

My point is if the US treats foreign gov's as dangerous then those foreign gov's should treat the US as dangerous equally, including US software.

Given US software companies international sales volumes that's a massive existential threat to the US economy.

If China/Europ/Russia etc stop using US software products then what will happen to the profits of Microsoft/Google/Apple et al....

My other point was the apparent one-way nature of trust that I felt you were implying. that foreign gov's should trust US software whilst at the same time accepting those software companies do not trust them...
It's silly to point at this documentation as if this is something that people will read in this case. People, or specifically web developers are not calling fork(). What they're doing is using supported language, a webapp server, using a database access library, and enabling the preloading option. As seen in the bug report in Ruby, this comes down to coordination between those projects. Each one is correct on their own. Putting them together as a web developer shouldn't involve analysing syscalls you're going to make either.
The people that talked about the rules at Codurance was none of the people that defined the original rules. We had to "reverse engineer" the thinking, find reasons and then discard, change or let as they were (one of the objectives of the write up was to put down those reasons). Explicit recursion did take a while. The reasoning we came with is to learn to use map/reduce functions (do take into account that our group has an ecletic knowdledge of FP and hybrid languages: Clojure, Haskel, Elixir, Scala, F#, ...). Can that binary search tree be converted into a linear search if you rearrange the tree into a list? Yes. Now you can use map /reduce. Is it performant? Most probably not. Are there other ways? Time to discover. Interestingly, most of the katas/exercises on which we are practicing these rules are not heavily algorithmic in nature. Maybe we do need to add some to understand better and modify the "rules" with the new knowledge.
Also, they used a mice model. Even otherwise, assuming the study showed it to be the case in humans as well, that means absolutely nothing. Science simply presents a theory that fits a particular data-set. It doesn't mean its an established fact, or that it applies to your particular biology, or even that the effect is seen in every person.
I agree. In one case you are "driving" the other you are just riding. Not sure whether "powered" or "human controlled" is appropriate.
Not at all, I'm personally a fan of very dense mixed-use plans when it comes to urban development styles. But I was just answering your question about why walking is such a priority for talented people and why "walkability scores" are a thing. Clearly if we're talking about walking most places then everyone having a large car doesn't make much sense in the first place, nevermind living in it. That's just weird Telsa fetish stuff.

I grew up in suburbs and consider them soul sucking hellscapes for robots who've learned to feel despair ... so that probably colors my view of basing cities around them by having people drive all the time.
Andrew Gelman is a rare breed -- he's brilliant, hard working, engages with the public, writes both technical and (semi-)pop articles, and isn't an asshole. And we works in a field -- mathematics -- where there is very little confusion as to whether a result is right or wrong.

This makes lesser people working in dirtier subjects very uncomfortable: when he hits them they have nothing of substance to hit back with except generic insults.
> Then maybe one should more hesitant about promoting those results?

We definitely agree on this. I think all the TED science stuff is silliness. Cuddy's mistake was both being a serious scientist and being a popular TED speaker. Popular TED speakers make BS science claims all the time, but they aren't scientists so it doesn't matter.

But I wouldn't advocate for firing someone because they disagree and think TED is a good place to popularize science (even if they happen to popularize science that later turns out to be bad science).
You can actually use opiods for a protracted period without severe side effects except constipation, and of course posisivle addiction. But physically it’s quite safe if dosed properly and has no mental side effects really. MDMA can have severe mental and physical side effects when used frequently or sometimes just once.
that's not what the research (or the article) was saying.
Ha! I actually try not to brag. Sure. My email address is clintonb@alum.mit.edu.
After watching the 60 minutes expose on the DEO and how they helped cause the opioid epidemic, the DEO literally does the opposite of what they're supposed to. They make it easier to get dangerous drugs into the wrong hands, while preventing helpful drugs to those who need it most.
3.5% of GDP.
But something like 15% of our revenue.
And more than 50% of discretionary spending.

So, of the money we get to direct each year to support American interests, half goes to the military.
I heard, from someone who works for WeWork, that they do own at least some of the WeWork buildings in Manhattan. Admittedly it was a low level employee, so he could have been mistaken.
I think there is systematic bias in such rules because employees outnumber employers and corporations can't vote. For example:

1) In such scenarios, I wonder how is it okay for an applicant to use all tactics they want (note: there is minimal if not no regulation on applicants to a position. Okay, let's make this concrete, this new law bans Cali employers from asking applicants their prior salary. There are more laws which ban or force an employer to do something. BUT an applicant is NOT banned from asking any question. This next sentence I might be going out on a limb here, the applicant is NOT forced to do something either (as opposed to a ban on something). This is systematic bias.

2) It's NOT okay for a corporation to discriminate on race or sex, etc. But it IS OKAY for an applicant to discriminate on race or sex, i.e. if an employer is black, I can choose not to work for him just on that basis, or if it's a woman, I can choose not to work on that basis.

You might say the positions of power are asymmetric and in favor of the employer. I'd say you're correct about the former (asymmetricity) but not about the latter. The employer has power by having more money and applicant has power by having more skills. Employers usually respond to such laws as this by coming up with new ways to accomplish what they want, then govt responds with even more regulation. Compliance is a cost which takes away from the pie which any of the stakeholders could've benefited from.

A voluntary unregulated hiring market would benefit all parties involved.

So does that mean that if you wanted to port, say, Xmonad to Wayland, you would have to reimplement compositing logic again? (Since the existing compositing-logic implementation also handles things like window placement that you would want to override)
One thing that looks cool is the tutorial for probabalistic PCA. That is a b of a thing to do in Stan. It really only works under some very limited conditions. Edward has this ability to combine in a KL divergence minimization in there. Not exactly sure how it works. I should look into it more. I don't really have a good sense of it just from reading the paper and a tutorial or two.

> Did I mention you're surrounded by empty rooms with doors that close? I mean hello, you get a door! It closes!

Not sure if this is the case for all of their locations, but the doors (and walls) were made of glass at the WeWork we rented from in Seattle, which meant there was zero soundproofing and I was constantly hearing conversations from the people in adjacent offices. It was incredibly distracting and we only lasted a month before returning back to our home office.
