Technically true, since you'll need to check the return type of `__eq__()`. But the following code doesn't trigger any error using `mypy test.py --check-untyped-defs`.

def foo():
x = 1
return x == 2

def bar(x: bool):
print(x)

def baz(x: int):
print(x)

if __name__ == '__main__':
bar(foo())
baz(foo())
Good question. I suppose what I meant was that it wasn't geared specifically to the K-12 market. But your point is well taken.
And I am saying that when you combine the two you get an algorithm with a small constant in practice and guaranteed O(n) behavior in the worst case.

For example do quickselect on 9/10 rounds but on every 10th round do a median of medians. The overhead of guaranteed performance will only be a few percent off of the average.
No, far from it. I did not equate them (and I never would), but there are a number of libertarians who believe that fascism is a valid part of the political spectrum and covered by free speech.

That does not neccessarily mean that they support fascism itself - in fact, I have yet to see a libertarian who does not say that he/she despises fascism.

Huh, I half-agree with other commentators that the list is almost like a joke. On the other hand, it’s starting the startup conversation here again. The startup world is not exactly at its peak now; less rags-to-riches save-the-world stories, and more like scandals and housing crises and Juicero-dumbo moments. At least, it’s making me think about what AI can actually be useful for, even though I’m mostly not a fan of it and most certainly don’t see its worth in pet interactions.

OP did say it’s an experiment :x
We've had bad experiences mixing Office 32bit vs 64bit applications. Also with Microsoft Windows Server 2000 just double check the license agreement and software licenses some of them have caveats of running the software within a Virtual Machine.

I know Oracle licenses we had to have a dedicated machine because they charge per core/thread.
That is correct: the analysis of large data sets is opaque to patients, and application of the evidence base to specific patients happens in the heads of physicians.

Patients are not part of the decision making process, and therefore not privy to the analysis, unless there is a decision to be made that requires their input (eg, two reasonable roads forward that depend on their preferences, or on their risk-tolerance.)

The process is made opaque to patients intentionally.

Right, but Obama still picked him out of the universe of republicans. It’s not like the RNC told Obama who to nominate. Lumping him together with Betsy DeVoss is a misleading attempt to paint him as outside the mainstream. Yes, he’s pro-deregulation, but hardly to an unusual degree. The whole developed world is in a two-decade trend of liberalizing their telecom markets. The EU, for example, doesn’t have any media ownership rules similar to the FCC’s, not do member countries like Sweden. Many countries have nothing like our ponderous (about $8 billion per year) universal service fund. To pick random examples: Sweden got rid of its universal service fund in the 2000s, Germany in theory has one but it’s never been invoked, and Denmark never extended it to broadband (like Obama did here).
I think Boston Dynamics is more of a huge practical research project that won't have commercialization results for at least 10 years (random number I generated on intuition), whereas companies like Google are committed to justifying their efforts on quarter-by-quarter basis.

If a company owns Boston Dynamics and has one bad quarter, you have to trim the fat or deal with the bloodbath of angry impatient investors

EDIT: That being said, companies like Boston Dynamics are, in my opinion, Star Trek tier, and, as a tangent, is a perfect example of why we need to eventually live in a world that doesn't thrive on currency profit
Regardless of where we are on the continuum between "move this actuator to this position now (1980s)" and "go jump onto each of those boxes and do a flip off the last one (2030?)", this is damn impressive.

When you dismiss suppression of conservative positions, I say that I would be shocked if I ever saw a liberal outlet advocate or even try to reason about the case against Sanctuary Cities.

It's an example of suppression because if I even tried to bring up the debate I would be ridiculed and accused of being a racist. We can't debate the issue, and so anyone who would want to advocate for such a position is suppressed.
I heard somewhere that the military wants to love these robots, particularly for hauling stuff into unfriendly terrain, but the main reason they simply aren’t viable is that they are much, much too loud. There were other problems too, complex maintenance in the field and the likes, but apparently that is less of a hassle than getting ambushed because the enemy heard you coming a mile away...
Hopefully they use a virtualized grid, which there are more than one js ones to choose from that have no problem with 100,000 rows.
Or states simply figure out more reasonably enforceable and appropriate revenue sources. A number of states already get by without state sales tax of any sort(1) so that's not an unreasonable option. To the degree that collecting sales tax on interstate purchases is difficult yet, perhaps, increasingly important, I'd suggest that eliminating that dependency is a better option than increased government intrusion.

Personally, I'll be sure to vote against any representative who advocates for databases of online purchases or anything in that vein.

Thanks for the shout-out brianbreslin. I’m co-founder & CEO of Tesorio (YC S15) and in the past I founded a factoring company. Factoring solves the collections problem in a way but it can be expensive and may send mixed messages to your customer that your cash flow wasn’t strong enough to wait for payment. We started Tesorio because we kept seeing folks misuse factoring as a source of financing, not as a point in time solution to a working capital gap. It gets expensive fast, it’s like payday lending for business.

Collections in the B2B world is more broadly defined as the process of reminding your customers to pay you, not so much the breaking knees part. Most companies over $15MM in revenue have at least one person doing this.

We see the collections process as the final step in a good customer experience… so we’ve built a product that combines the best parts of sales CRM and customer engagement tools. Our website showcases our active products (Forecasting, Forex, & Analytics), but we’re currently in Beta with the Collections tool and would love to show you it and get your feedback.

The phrasing was poor.

> But, the deregulation of media companies is allowing anti-consumer practices.
> Even the video game industry is starting to receive backlash for its "non-gambling" practices and the lootbox.

The implication is that it's standard to implement anti-consumer practices like gambling (not called gambling) into consumer products (games). The VAST majority of games now, in a trend starting since circa 2005, has been to milk the customer via chance-based microtransactions, aka the "freemium" model. Games that do not use this, are heavily criticized by industry and critics as oversights or even unfair. i.e. You mean I might pay $X for a game and what if I don't like it? Now I'm out all $X!
yup, sorry I was too far into the tech rabbit hole myself there
As someone in the tech field and an Orthodox Christian doing a masters in theology, I find it incredibly frustrating that there is absolute sheer ignorance about Christian theology.

Literally ALL basic tenets of Christianity are misunderstood and distorted. And while I acknowledge that part of the problem is the ignorance of some Christian leaders and ministers, it's definitely not the whole problem. Intellectual honesty demands of us that we properly understand a viewpoint before rejecting it.

>God is sacrificing his own son, which is also him, to himself, in order to satisfy rules that he himself also put in place so that he doesn't have to send people he created and loves infinitely to be tortured forever in a place he created because they broke rules they couldn't understand with consequences they couldn't comprehend.

You claim this is the Christian view of the atonement. Where do you get this? Is it scriptural? Patristic?

Don't speak on behalf of Christianity if you do not understand it. And let me tell you in case this isn't clear: You do not understand it.

How can someone reject Christianity when they haven't done the due diligence of looking at __primary sources__ for the Christian position?
Interesting. I'm not sure that random selection would be effective though - just look at the jury system, where the opinion of the relatively domain-uninformed body is manipulated by domain experts to attempt to reach the outcome that they desire. The same sort of thing would happen (IMO) in a political body -- the "shadow" government (i.e. the career government workers) would end up manipulating members of the body to a greater or lesser extent.
> fluid motion without falling is something you can expect from a minimum wage employee. And big robots are physical machines that are likely to cost rather more than a minimum wage scrub to hire/acquire and pay/maintain

Fluid motion without falling, along with a lot of physical activities, turn out to be very hard problems both for robotics and AI[0]. So yes, while the applications may not be as potentially far reaching as with machine learning, as a technological achievement getting a bipedal robot to do a backflip is more impressive.

If you can name a successful product which does not manipulate users to continue using that product, then it's not a product:

* I've been manipulated to bring an umbrella because I don't like to get rained on.

* I've been manipulated into liking broadband because it provides the internet faster than dialup.

* I've been manipulated into owning a car because it's a fast convenient mode of transportation.

This is the basics of products and services that provide value, this isn't magical or new, and this book is probably being more honest than most industries are.

The point the book was making is that if you don't want a product to be flash in the pan garbage, follow some simple guidelines which ensure that your service is actually providing some sort of value to end users, or your end users will eventually leave and find better things to do with their time and resources (Unless you're selling heroin I guess).

I don't consider Facebook sending me an email when I get a personal message to be exploitative, but I find no value at all when they send me something every time one of my friends fart. I specifically avoid interacting with those "hey someone did something" emails because they are annoying and make me want to stop being on facebook altogether. That's the result of abusing the hook model, users go away because it's annoying and unproductive.

The 3.8% net investment income tax doesn't apply to real property, it applies to investment property. The NIIT specifically excludes gains from the sale of primary residences. The IRS provides a helpful FAQ on this: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/net-investment-income-tax-faqs.

Second, the 25% rate is an approximate rate that combines the federal and state rates while taking into account the deduction for state and local taxes. 25% is a nice round number. I'm not going to prepare a detailed tax model for an anonymous internet comment.

My point stands either way: he's whining about having to pay an effective tax rate of 10-15% on his profits from selling his million dollar house while people in other parts of the country are struggling to even afford rent. He's acting like an entitled child and quivering about the exact tax rate he pays doesn't change that.
> I never quite understood why the division of integers resulting in integers was a problem [...] but it's standard behavior in nearly every typed language.

And hence why it's a problem in Python. If you have a function like

def foo(a, b):
return a / b

What are the types of a and b? You don't know. Sure, you could check with isinstance, but now you've broken the illusion of duck typing. The argument is that Python should just do "the right thing". Just because 3/4==0 in most languages doesn't justify repeating that mistake. Not to mention that float(a)/float(b) -- aside from being incorrect in the general case -- is ugly as hell.

> Iterator variable leaking is just a result of poor programming.

I think it's a language bug. Why? Imagine if you could do this in C:

for (int a = 1; i <= 3; a++)
foo(a);
printf("%d\n", a);

People would think this is clearly a language bug because it breaks the scoping semantics (not to mention common sense). Now, you could argue that Python supports this sort of nonsense so it's "fine":

# a is not defined
if something:
a = 1
else:
a = 2
print(a)

But the reason that works is because otherwise Python would need to have JS-like "var" syntax to declare a variable. Personally I think that'd be better, but the for-loop situation is different.

> raw_input vs input could have been solved by slowly deprecating input. Or just left as is. xrange is the same story.

And this is how PHP ended up having three different string escaping functions for SQL statements. The first one (escape_string) was broken, so they added real_escape_string, and then they needed to handle connection-specific quirks so they added mysqli_real_escape_string.

Some people still use escape_string even though it's broken -- and the language devs cannot fix it because "that would break users".

Living stromatolites found in south-west Tasmania
Most houses burn down due to embers igniting in the roof, subfloor or against the side of the house. You need to actively protect the roof with sprayers. There are systems that already do this, as well as ember-proof subfloor vents.
I think in this case "biggest swing for the house" should be interpreted as "biggest edge in favor of the house," not anything to do with variance. Everyone knows the house always wins in the long run (that's why "the house" is so much nicer looking [well, bigger, anyway] than your house).
I think this list isn't the way to go -- some
(not all) of these ideas seem frivolous to me... solving first world problems at best, and just bad ideas at worst. Judging from the comments, I am not alone. But I don't know if I am in the minority or majority in these opinions... therefore, I think a more productive approach would be a small app for people to vote on ideas, letting the best ones bubble to the top of an interactive list.

If you really want to get crazy, the resulting list could be integrated into your application process -- "We're team A, with a proposal to solve Problem X, but also have ideas for problems Y and Z."

Thanks for your answer. Yes, this kind of symbolic inequalities was what I had in mind. The solution via "via" is quite clever.

In the beginning I had thought that maybe you were using something like Pentagons: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/pentago... which were developed explicitly in the context of proving array bounds checks.

You might want to give them a look. They would cost you in implementation effort, of course, but they might make Puffs (almost as) fast and pretty smart!
What are your metrics?

What Forth is best at is boostrapping from bare metal to a reasonably high level language with the simplest design possible. Forth was first written at a time when there was a staggering amount of hardware in existence, so reimplementing the base language as quickly as possible was a huge plus. It's got a low floor but a high ceiling. It is a free-wheeling language that allows both very clever and very stupid things.

Unfortunately, this legacy means lots of fragmentation. There is not one cohesive community or set of standard libraries. Forth is very much a "do it yourself" language.

Forth can be very concise because all parameters are passed implicitly on the data stack by default. Parameters and arguments lead to a lot of duplication of expression in traditional languages because you need to give them explicit names both inside and outside the function.

If you prefer, it helps to treat it as a functional language where all functions take a stack and return a stack. All programs are a space separated list of function names. Of course, nothing stops you from using all the global variables you want.

> There’s a rule in medicine: don’t order a test whose outcome doesn’t change your decision. That’s not about cost-savings, it’s about avoiding false positives that make no sense in clinical context but raise flags that must be chased down.

There is also a rule in (system) operations: don't page unless immediate action (from humans) is required. This doesn't stop us from collecting data. If there is an anomaly, then we can look back at the data if necessary.

Alternatively, there ARE things you can alert on. My brother has type 1 diabetes. He got a free urinalysis in the form of ants crawling in the toilet. I expect – but since I don't have time series data from this toilet, I can't prove – that sensors would detect and increasing amount of glucose in the urine over time.

If anonymized, this sort of data would be useful for research as well.
