The problem is that traffic lights are not a complicated nuanced subject where there is one small set of correct methods, and a large subset of dangerous methods.

Titles like "Medical Doctor" or "EMT" carry authority, because they require specific training, so that you know how not to kill someone while you are trying to help them. For these professions, it is necessary for the state to demand a set of requirements from those who carry those titles.

Saying someone must be specific about what kind of engineer they purport to be is quite unreasonable, and unnecessary.

In this case, the state created the "title" so that they could ignore anyone who didn't pay for the title. Since it is totally normal to call oneself an "engineer" without worrying about that title carrying a dangerous authority, it was unexpected, and malicious for the state to redefine the term.

no you can't. take the absolute highest resolution images you can buy, and take 100 of the best mathematicians and using only maps you won't even be able to guess within 20%...analysts can already estimate within 1% of expected earnings
Removed the link :)
It looks neat. I'm sorry I don't have much feedback, but I think this line is incorrect in your readme.

file_put_contents( "key.txt", $k->Export() );

I think you meant $key->Export(). Just a heads up to save the copy and pasters.
No, I don't think it underestimates at all. Saying they should learn more fundamental concepts first doesn't mean don't stretch them. For example, seed the ideas of physics early (mass, energy, gravity), because those are things that actually exist around them and for which you can reinforce by pointing them out. But "map" and "key" and "garbage collection"? Those are far too specific, certainly not fundamental, and have no real world analog that is meaningful for them.

If you really really want to impart to them the concept of software, then do that! The phrase "garbage collection" is not important. The idea of a program and that it makes the stuff they see happen on the screen is what is key. @partycoder has the right idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15881930

(I work with children and am respected for my ability to teach them sophisticated ideas.)
How exactly did, say, J. K. Rowling (wrote Harry Potter) or Notch (created Minecraft) step on someone's neck?

You can become a billionaire by producing something that tens of millions of people appreciate (and by being extremely lucky I guess).

Elites existing are not a sign of people getting screwed. The poor being so worse off they literally cannot afford food, on the other hand, _is_ a sign of people getting screwed.

The economy is not a zero-sum game.
You've got to start somewhere.
Tom Wheeler slams Ajit Pai’s plan to kill net neutrality rules
Instead the US is planning on cutting Medicare to pay for tax breaks for the rich. It will only get worse.
> You are correct, and there is something the US can do about high drug costs. We pass a law requiring Big Pharma to sell drugs in the US at the planet's lowest negotiated price. This will help shift R&D costs onto Europe, Canada, and Asia, because Big Pharma will of necessity spread that cost around.

A way less intrusive way to ensure the same end result is to allow reimporting of prescription drugs.

There was a bill to do this last year, but unfortunately it was killed in the Senate.
It certainly did not ask for me and just switched from startpage to Google. Also auto-installed the update (against my will) after I had voted to wait a few times, though that might have been autoupdate as it was on my work computer (have heard from others that it was not which I also suspect but I am too lazy to check). Mozilla is certainly losing trust with that, if it weren't for the lack of good alternatives...
I think we're talking past each other while in mostly agreement. The minor adjustments you talk about, I'm happy to make them in any other area of the country. Like I've been saying, if we all co-operate, we all get home sooner. But in the Seattle area it appears that some are not only taking advantage of that co-operation, they now take it to be their right, alleviating all responsibility on their part. I dunno, maybe you're not anywhere near the Seattle area. Because again, I absolutely agree with what you say for most of the U. S., but maybe one needs to take a trip down WA520 to really get what I'm talking about. This not a case of "there are bad drivers everywhere", as from my POV it is truly unique to this area.
I loved that book too. What I especially liked is it wasn't just theory and rhetoric. There were specific examples of things that went wrong, backed with statistics on why it went wrong, and actionable ideas for how to fix things.
People with professional engineering titles are the dregs of the engineering profession, they couldn't get work without certification. So they got it and parade it around like self important dweebs, so that people hopefully won't realize how poorly qualified they actually are.
we do regard them as a joke, apple is for you non techies that like cool stuff and dont care about being over charged for a metal case .... how many iphone have broken screens.

Apple customers dont care about the tech , they care about cool. This is what Steve Jobs and apple as branded themselves on so thats what you get, cool without good tech. And it wont matter becuase that is not the reason people buy Apple.

Tech community doesnt care about Apple, but the engineers will happily take their money to work on their products. If apple falls programming and computing will go on happily and at least we wont have to build over priced products for a bunch of children to take selfie shots that dont care 2 cents that they have a technical marvel in their hands.

His arguments actually were very good. Response time is never instantaneous. Oregon's yellow light law is incredibly dangerous. No one knows when it will end, stopping in the middle of an intersection can create an accident too.
For all practical purposes, mining the last remaining coins will be cost prohibitive. High transaction fees might depress the Bitcoin prices. Not sure if anyone will pay hundreds of dollars for a single transaction. I don’t see a sustainable solution behind this.
Similarly there is now this term "maker" which I find... ridiculous, to be honest. Are carpenters "makers?" What about electricians? Plumbers? Why does "maker" seem to imply a nerd with an Arduino or a 3d printer?
however this issue like the costs of health care are exaggerated by local and federal government rules. when you prevent competition, when you force coverage regardless of need, and you lock out more options, costs only go one direction.

just like tax laws, medical laws and implementation are done to favor specific groups to the detriment of others unfortunately

A few years ago when Mozilla switched from Google to Yahoo, they updated Firefox on my Mac and changed my default search from Google to Yahoo. It was not a new installation, it was an upgrade, and I was not asked about the switch.
I'm not sure what you mean by nest of trolls. On the Discord channel I have with my friends I've rarely ever had to ban anyone. It's grown over time to include quite a few people but we've never had any nests of trolls.

Then again, I know pretty much everybody on that server. Perhaps you're dealing with a much larger community attached to a website or game? I don't see how that's a problem specific to Discord then.
The state doesn't need to license doctors either.
Ack. You are absolutely right, that was my own copy/paste issue. Fixed now, thanks!
it's probably just a log normal distribution, meaning that the result is a product of normal factors, not a sum. Afaik this is one of the most used models in statistics, because the central limit theorem still applies, just with sums of logged random variables instead of just sums

Hypernova is pretty awesome for React as well!
Nice interview. What a tremendous achievement to formally prove the correctness of a C compiler! It boggles my mind why more people are not involved in this direction.

I hope to live to see the day when lots of commercial software will be written with formal proofs and zero tests. It may just be that we don't have the right tools at this point. If theorem provers could figure out details for themselves for the most part and the programmer has to only specify a few key invariants and rough sketches of the hypotheses and the end guarantees then I cannot begin to imagine how much more productive programming can become.
That's just a typical entity diagram, so we're preparing kids for the real world.

You are kind of right, but I have quoted a source that makes a very clear prediction: maximum exchange rate between 25,000 and 45,000 USD/BTY, crash period between 24 December and 8 January. That is fairly tight and falsifiable. Ball’s in your court.

This won 3rd place in the November Kaggle Dataset Publishing Awards.
The important thing about internalization in this context isn't who takes the other side, but the fact that the trade gets done before it even reaches an exchange. You're right that it usually refers to a market maker taking the other side as principal off exchange.

> To clarify, Goldmans are offering to buy* futures their clients want to sell, if they can line up one of their other clients/counterparties to buy it from Goldmans at the same time.

This is not what clearing means. You're talking about execution. They'll still clear the trades even if you execute away. There's not really anything else I can add to this discussion.

An imperfect analogy is that you're buying the futures with a credit card and Goldman will step in and pay the bill if you can't.
A Medical Doctor must have specific training to not harm their patients.

An Engineer designs functional things.

No reasonable person is going to think that him calling himself an "Electrical Engineer", which he is, construes that he had specific training in designing traffic infrastructure that doesn't accidentally harm people.

Traffic infrastructure is not a nuanced topic full of dangerous pitfalls.

He was claiming that he had a background in engineering that is applicable to the subject, so that his viewpoint would not be cast aside. The state wanted to ignore his viewpoint, so they fined him.
They've done some work on some parts. There are still large chunks of the OS that can't do that. And the core OS was never that difficult to update, it's more that the OEMs had no incentive, and still have no incentive, to do so.
Is anyone else clear on what this article is saying? Being able to call AWS services from a cloud based IDE is going to "Devour the Software Industry"?
Usually « machine learning » is used to talk about things beyond basic statistical methods that predate computers. On the other hand, basic statistics are often good enough...
Hackers should really be writing more books for kinds. Not only about programming but about "life, the universe and everything" too - I wish there were an introduction into understanding myself, life, the society and other stuff written by a likely-minded person available to read when I was a kid.
Tellers used to have at least one packet of money in each of their drawers that have their serial numbers recorded. If they get robbed they are supposed to include it depending on the relative safety of the situation. I believe new bills from the federal reserve are also sequential and an inventory of those are probably recorded when they are accepted and counts are verified. At least that is how I remember it from about 15 years ago.
You as many other technologists write knowingly of currencies and economies and how they should/could function as if of mechanics flying submarines. Your assumptions are all wrong.
I’m sure the professional traffic engineers association would have strong words in reply to your comment.
Isn't that in category of fraud? They lied you about pricing.
Something I've noticed are advertisements for ERs. Really. I was a little shocked when I saw one on the way to work.

It says:

"Trouble breathing? Nausea and fever? Stomach pain? Our ER can help."

"What's your body telling you? Any one of these symptoms could be a warning sign of something serious. Our emergency room offers fast, expert care 24/7 to keep you healthy."

I had never really thought of hospitals, especially ERs, as a business before I saw that. I guess that was naive.
So if someone would acquire more wealth than this "limit" you think it's okay to steal it from them? How is theft morally acceptable?
They only have one official library (python); all the language examples are just showing how to do an HTTP call to the service
You have a naive understanding of human behavior. This would make the motorcyclist a target of rage by some subset of camping drivers. The camping driver may decide to intentionally inhibit traffic by pacing a large truck.
indeed. there is nothing even coming out of the right channel. I had to verify with another audio source that something wasnt broken. To top it off, comments are disabled on the video so there is no way to give this feedback.
Every time, I see one of these links or videos, I feel the urge to learn Lisp. But after some time, I lose the motivation. I think that is because I don't know what benefit learning lisp will provide me concretely. Anyone has any suggestion?
And get a lot less. Hooray.

The problem with a lot of reporting on these tax “plans” is that it doesn’t take into account the massive cuts that’ll be needed once this thing gets passed.

That and any increases to health insurance costs due to repeal/uncertainty/etc wipe out any saving for most people.

But hey if I could lobby this easily to get my pet thing into a tax bill I would.
Don't humans already do this, in a way? Instead of playing against yourself, you take somebody stronger and play them. You only need on the order of a 100 games of chess against a decent opposition, with some verbal explanations, to reach amateur level. Per-game, this is much more efficient than AlphaZero, which requires millions of games as well as tons of computing power. Surely the main reason AlphaZero uses that particular technique is that nobody can figure out something better? You'd really want it to copy learning techniques from humans (especially learning from many fewer examples), not the other way around.

It's mildly amusing that this page itself doesn't render without JavaScript enabled.

JavaScript is killing the static Web — and IMHO that's a terrible thing. In part, I imagine Google like JavaScript pages because it's a barrier to the entry of another search competitor.

Did you read a sentence that you disagreed with and then immediately refused to finish the paragraph?

> A valid criticism of this argument is that it's a variant of the the serf comic argument (or genetic fallacy) in which those embedded in a bad system may not question it because they benefit from it.

I'm just saying, the idea that there is in fact an equitable pre-distribution of agency and power to draw from is fallacious. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try and create better systems; just that we shouldn't pretend such a thing existed.
I'm not making the argument that the economy is a zero sum game. I'm saying we don't allocate wealth properly. My concept of the "elite" is based on them having so much more than the poor. With more equal income distribution there would be no "elites". Of course there will always be people with more and less but that doesn't mean we need the elite for the economy to work or that its healthy to load so much of our collective wealth to the top.

For example: good for Rowling but why aren't more authors able to make a living writing?

In my opinion the fact that it's possible to win the economic lottery like Rowling or Notch is a symptom of a greater problem.
That's a silly distinction. It's also wrong. Rust 'binds data to methods and has a concept of "data.method()"' and is not OO by any meaningful definition. It's simply sugar for Trait::method(&data).
The article barely touches on the bullshit factor. Sure every workplace has BS people have to deal with, that doesn't matter if it is a tech company.

I would venture a guess that the majority, perhaps vast majority (i.e. 75% or greater), of software development jobs are doing CRUD with data in a RDBMS. Even if you work on UI/front end, its still a CRUD app.

There's nothing wrong with that, just call it what it is. We (the majority) aren't progressing the science part of computer science in any way really. We are making some set of problems easier to be accomplished/solved. They may be data sets in interesting industries or enabling things like health care or medical research but CRUD apps aren't revolutionary.

If anything we are making things more complex with a glut of new shiny tools and abstractions that don't do things that much differently than 15 years ago. The sheer amount of dependencies some tool/frameworks require is mind boggling for basically sending text around over the internet and storing it on disk somewhere. Yes we all like to mock the way the web looked 15 years ago but is the tech underneath drastically different?

I feel like we tend to paint ourselves into a corner sometimes with the tech/tools and then end up remodeling the house to finish painting the room. That is definite BS.
The part about the changes in barometric pressure / the camera failing is interesting. At first it sounded like a dramatic enhancement to the story, but intriguing that things went back to normal once leaving the enclosure.
Will a privately operated urgent care clinic take somebody who has no insurance or means of paying?

Waiting time is a matter of how the facility is managed. If an ER is handling a lot of noncritical cases, they can set up a facility for handling those cases, which would look just like an urgent care clinic. In fact, I once had a minor injury and went to the ER, and was transferred to an urgent care clinic in the same building. I had insurance.
I love how the title of this article is an understatement. Google abandons ajax crawling scheme because... it will render javascript in all pages. This is an awesome news :)
Wheeler's FCC didn't prohibit ISPs from demanding payments for network interconnection, but it set up a complaint process.

"That simple keeping-an-eye-on-what's-going-on has resulted in the elimination of the interconnection bottlenecks that existed before, and interconnection prices actually going down, just because somebody was watching," Wheeler said.

And in the same realm of merely being able to keep an eye on things, rather than being heavy handed, the repeal proposal includes eliminating some requirements for full price and cap disclosure at sign-up time. Upon repeal they won't have to tell you about additional fees to rent a modem, cancellation fees, duration of promotional pricing, data caps or the pricing for going over those caps.

By permitting ISPs from withholding information, consumers can't make effective market decisions. I don't see how anyone argues against regulations that require these companies to simply disclose facts, unless they like the idea of ISPs hiding these costs from consumers.
It's a mystery why hospitals are still considered worthy recipients of large gifts. People donate tens of millions of dollars for a hospital building, inside which the hospital proceeds to rapaciously overcharge its patients.

It's true that most hospitals themselves are non-profits, but the service providers in the hospital range from moderate capitalists to very predatory ones. Donating to the hospital just means they charge less overhead, and the medical corporations operating within them keep more. Doctors are great and all, but I don't feel like they need my charity.
I got into recreational gymnastics about a year ago to challenge myself and have really taken to simple body weight exercises with no weights... But people have different bodies and need to find what works for them.

Here is what i may do in 30-40 minutes in the morning:
* stretch quick.
* ab/core workout for 5-10 minutes.
Then 2-4 rotations through the following:
* hand stand hold against the wall.
* air squats or power jacks.
* push ups.
* calf raises.
* variations of pullups.

The only equipment i have is a pull up bar over a door frame.

Super simple super effective.

It has zero to do with problems of people who don't lie. None at all. And mojority don't. It amounts to "situation is ok, because I can point to some fraudster that is not suffering".

Of course IP geolocation is terrible for language selection, but that doesn't make passive rough location information useless in general. What if, for example, you want to show someone nearby flights? You could ask them to enter their zip, or you could save them a step and make suggestions based on their geolocation. They could update the location if they wanted information on somewhere else or if you got the location wrong, and that's worse case 1 step, and best case no steps - you improved your UX!
