>But the public like cars to look a certain way.

Meh, this isn't all that true in my opinion. A properly designed "grill-less" car can be just as popular if not moreso than a design that adheres to the status quo. Just look at every Corvette from arguably the C2* through the C5. The C4* definitively removed the grill from the design but the C2 and C3* worked them into the nose in a way completely unlike that of a traditional "grill". Then you have the case of the Citroen DS* which has been lauded as one of the most beautiful/cutting edge designs of all time.

The lasting popularity and perception of these cars proves that "grills" aren't necessary, it just takes more artistic skill to design a pleasing shape without them.

>Though electric cars don’t need cooling grilles – batteries don’t get as hot and they’re chilled in a different way.

Now this just isn't true at all unless I'm unaware of some new design that diverges entirely from the Tesla/Nissan/GM school of electric vehicle design. While the radiator of a Tesla Model S*, X, or 3 may be much smaller than that of a typical ICE powered car, it is still large enough to require meaningful airflow through the front end/underbody. The issue with consumer perceptions of the "grill-less" designs isn't that they are innately undesirable, it's that all of the current mass production electric cars are either woefully bland or amateurishly designed. I personally think Tesla's design language is unimaginative and would carry the perception of being 10 years out of date if made by any other brand. Also, even if it was possible to passively cool the battery and motor of an electric car (while still meeting modern expectations of performance), the HVAC system still needs airflow for the AC condenser.

How do you select and assign moderators?
Pretty primitive compared to what IntelliJ actually does, which for Java (and typed JS, Scala, Kotlin, etc) is full source code indexing and understanding of the type hierarchy.

That means "Find Usages", "Jump to Implementors/Overriders", "Show Substypes", etc all work correctly. When you ask for code completion, it's far above what IntelliSense does. IntelliJ will actually understand all of the variables and types that are reachable in scope, as well as those that are reachable by calling methods or accessing fields on those types two or three levels down. This is not the same as just examining what's reachable via 'this' or what's to the left of the '.' character.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/auto-completing-code.htm...

The autocompletions are also ranked and sorted properly most of the time. Think of it as the difference between a shitty search engine and one that shows the most probable autocompletions first. Even Eclipse IMHO is pretty bad at this, and will often try to suggest meaningless classes somewhere on my classpath that I'm obviously not going to use, including internal sun.* implementations.

IntelliJ's refactoring and code analysis is also far above what XCode and VSC do. I've been using IntelliJ since the first version, and to me XCode and VSC aren't much of a step above Emacs as an IDE.

Syntax Highlighting, VCS integration, Debugger, and Jump to Symbol Definition are table stakes that even basic text editors have.

Because mostly only big companies choose their destination. For the rest it's where they live when they found the company. So if more people in Chicago found tech companies you'll get more tech companies. That's the reason SV is a self-feeding machine. People work at one of the many startups or big companies here, get experience, get money, and then part of them start their own companies. That's the circle that drives SV and because it gets stronger each time it's hard for any other city or region to really catch up.
This has wide and serious ramifications for business. Private weather data is nice, but most of it is derived from NOAA resources.
One of the attributes of The Valley that are not easily reproduced is the forced cross pollination of knowledge and experience among the tech work force. This is forced through layoffs as companies, industries and the economy run through their cycles. This cross pollination leads to several outcomes: 1. the workforce is diverse in experience; 2. employees tend to work harder and longer hours in order to keep their job; 3. employees that are released from projects that they still believed in are more likely to take that project elsewhere, or, seek funding themselves.

These cycles work like a bellows, re-shuffling engineering teams en masse and thereby fueling innovation. It's actually pretty painful, but is an important factor and remains unique not in the fact that it happens, but in the scale that it happens in The Valley.
Stavros from TileDB, Inc. here: Arrow employs a columnar format to store objects like data frames. TileDB is also columnar (so you can sub-select attributes and perform analytics with very similar optimizations to Arrow), but the first-class citizens are (the more general) dense and sparse multi-dimensional arrays. Moreover, TileDB focuses on optimizing for the persistent storage backend, so that it can handle out-of-core analytics on massive datasets that cannot fit in main memory (e.g., genomics), or offer the same performance using less RAM (leading to cost savings in the cloud). Nevertheless, we are quite fond of Arrow, so we hope to work together at some point and integrate as seamlessly as possible.

> The National Weather Service Employees Organization, its labor union, said the lack of staff is taking a toll on forecasting operations and that the agency is “for the first time in its history teetering on the brink of failure.” Managers are being forced to scale back certain operations, and staff are stressed and overworked.

It makes me deeply discouraged that something so vital to life in general is almost impossible to keep staffed (mostly because of a lack of funds), yet the military's budget increased by $54 Billion this year — to a total of $639 Billion for FY2018.

> EDIT: On some thought the mentality "if you did not stay in academia you are a loser" probably delayed the above realization. It was very prevalent.

I see that as a common feeling among some of my friends slaving away on their PhDs. Its hard to not feel this way if all your friends, social circle, basically your entire world, is built around the school/program you are attending (which isn't that unusual since you're likely to be friends with other PhD students).

Additionally, I've noticed some of my peers who did very well academically in undergrad want to continue the "good streak" right through PhD. I know it sounds rather silly, but if you've been killing it with grades and awards and the like, its easy to feel that you are special and if you don't do a PhD, who will?

This is unfortunately what happened with me. Although, I realized my mistake within the first year and decided to leave with a Masters degree.

I remember Flattr from a long time ago, when some German podcasters made a push for it. Thought it was a great idea at that time. If I remember correctly, it was a small square button with the number of tippers below it and upon click one's monthly spending balance would in part go to the creator.

A few months ago I stumbled upon Flattr again (thought it was dead till that day). Couldn't log in with my old credentials, couldn't sign up for new ones, but was told that I can put myself on the waiting list for "Flattr 2".

Now that this Flattr 2 thing has launched I can't help but ask myself how badly you can fuck up a product that once had an enthusiastic user base. Not only that they told existing users to sign up for their product again, the product now is much more cumbersome (browser extension required) and costly because of the fees.

I strongly believe that there's a need for social micropayments done right, but I don't see myself ever making a deposit to Flattr. Someone should simply clone Flattr 1 and keep the fees as low as possible. It was a good and much needed product.

Because the community has agreed to honor their exclusive real property claim, even if another person might have made better use of it.

Property owners do occasionally have their property seized by the community that it may be used more appropriately to the community's desires. It may be by eminent domain, or civil forfeiture, or adverse possession, or by regulatory taking, or some other means, but it is more likely to happen to those that do not actively demonstrate value to their community (perhaps in the form of financially supporting the local lawyering economy, if nothing else) than those who do not.

It's a fact of existence from the Pauli Exclusion Principle all the way up to "wherever you go, there you are" that everything has to have a place to be. You can't have a general welfare without a place to put it, and wherever you put it has to be adjacent to other places.

So that special obligation is basically to not abuse the inevitability of adjacency and the tyranny of distance in a way that is too obviously selfish.

Also, a trampoline is a very different thing in the contexts I'm used to. Typically it's a bit of executable object code generated on the fly to bridge something. The most obvious examples are: trampolines used in signal handling on Unix systems, the trampolines generated by GCC for local functions (closures of dynamic extent), and trampolines used in schedulers to switch tasks on CPU.

The loop-over-calling-the-current-continuation concept... kinda fits that description of "trampoline".
Because it doesn't have the people and that's all that really matters. SV is self-fulfilling at this point: talented programmers and entrepreneurs flock to the Bay because that's where the talented programmers and entrepreneurs are.

There are only half a dozen or so nations on the planet that can compete with the US at all when it comes to technology start-ups. Nobody else has enough of the required ingredients. For example Sweden has something very interesting going on - yet they are very unlikely to ever produce a Facebook or Google, the fractured European market and cultural system and their tiny local population base is a very big friction point (unless they go after the US market early on, as with Spotify, becoming a proxy US start-up).

The rapid lead that the large, unified market of the US + Canada provides, is extraordinary. Only China offers something competitive to that and as an outsider you can't move to China and form successful large start-ups (which is why among their major tech companies, there are no cultural foreigners or non-Chinese running businesses like Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Didi, Alipay, etc and there never will be). The US + Canada = near $21 trillion in economy, with extremely high disposable income levels, that mostly all uses/understands English.

Fundamentally this is why Europe has struggled so immensely to produce new tech giants in the last 20 years, compared to the US or China. It's not the lack of risk-seeking capital; although that's less than in the US, there is still enough. There is some cultural restraint depending on the country. Mostly though, it's because of how extremely difficult it is to adopt to all the various nation by nation differences early into the life of a product and acquire market dominance in enough of them to then have a strong foundation from which to springboard globally.

I didn't mean acoustic data, but I was thinking of long term global datasets like this:

http://www.isc.ac.uk/iscgem/overview.php

It covers over 26,000 earthquakes going back roughly a century, but I admit I'm somewhat disappointed that it only seems to cover Magnitude Mw ≥ 5.5 quakes.

A machine learning algorithm may need even more data points than that to spot reasonable patterns, even if it was given the location of landmasses and fault lines to help it, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone could generate a model which can predict future quakes at least somewhat better than random chance (factoring in averages for a given location).

"the National Weather Service had 216 vacant positions it could not fill due to a governmentwide hiring freeze imposed by the Trump administration, according to a recently released document." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-ene...

"The Weather Service’s head count finally stabilized in 2016 [...] But the staffing dip resumed in 2017, falling from 3,425 in December to 3,368 in August,"

"Staffing had declined so much that the Government Accountability Office wrote in May that employees were challenged in their ability “to complete key tasks.”"

"“There's no question that the hiring freeze had an effect,” said Dan Sobien, NWSEO president. “But really it was the straw that broke the camel's back.” He added, “The camel was already weighed down to the ground.”

"The National Hurricane Center, a Weather Service division, has been led by an acting director since May. An acting career official is heading NOAA until President Trump nominates and the Senate confirms a permanent replacement. Trump has waited longer than any other president to fill that role."

"In either case, the vacancies at the Weather Service were numerous enough, even before Trump was inaugurated, for the GAO to audit the agency's hiring practices."

"In July, the Senate Appropriations Committee wrote in a report that lawmakers are “very concerned with the continued number of employee vacancies” even though Congress has provided enough money to fill them."

It seems to me there's been an interesting turn in AI recently, toward focusing on adaptability as a goal in itself. Deep learning has shown that there is incredible power in stochastic gradient descent over a space of functions, but so far that has mostly been applied to rigid tasks. Now work like this is about turning that power towards adaptability itself as a goal, and it seems to me that this brings us towards "real" intelligence.

The logical extreme of this thinking would be agents that actually maximize entropy of future actions as the only objective function, like in [1]
