You actually need healthy fats to gain muscle, I require 44g a day. Before I knew this I used to focus only on protein and carbs and wondered why I wasn’t gaining as much as I should be.

It is very easy to increase fat intake. I get it mostly from olive oil and peanut butter. A serving of each is 14g.
my point is the most recent trades are a small sample of financial activity which is then extrapolated to make the market cap metric.

and i think it's not as meaningful a metric as it would be with stocks since its a much more volatile asset class

I’m not sure what the point is. I encountered for-pay toilets long before I learned to pack my own TP around in Beijing. It’s just not very comparable. A good day was when you could find one that was sitting and not squatting.
I have suffered from depression (and still do sometimes) so believe me when I say: unless you're a trained professional, it's not your job to be her therapist. If she actively sabotages her therapy and her therapists can't figure that out, either her therapists are bad at their jobs or she's not yet in a place where she accepts that she needs help.

For me it took a long time to acknowledge that it's not just my personality, it's a mental health issue and that there are people I could talk to about it (and that it needs to be an outsider). But most importantly I had to come to this realisation myself. You need to be willing to cooperate and to understand that this is a problem you want help solving.

Sometimes the risk of losing the person you love is what it takes to make that step. But sometimes people need even more than that.

Colour me stupid, but I don't understand what you mean by "verifiable" in the context. Probably there's a page somewhere that makes it obvious, but a quick search around didn't turn up anything that's clearly the right thing.

It has nothing to do with deflation (bitcoin isn't even deflationary yet, it is still inflationary currently), it has everything to do with scaling the blockchain as a technology.

Bitcoin was the first to hit the point of big adoption, and it will need to solve the problem. Ethereum is starting to feel the problem now as well.

That still feels like a problem to me. Just show it as unauthenticated if I'm not authenticated.
In theory no, but in practice stocks on major markets will have a deeper book and also a "market maker" that would act as a counterparty for large trades.
PyDev of the Week: Nicholas Hunt-Walker
Telegram has added in client payments a while ago. Their app/bot platform is crazily amazing. Plus a lot of the most popular bots also send out cash to users, which right now works with a rather complicated third party Bitcoin bot, but then could be done internally.

> I believe there’s a lot of truth to it, from my experience it totally matches a mini psychotic event.

From Wikipedia: "Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind that involves a loss of contact with reality."

If we use this definition I'd be inclined to differ. LSD only to some extent and under certain circumstances will cause of loss of contact with reality. In my experience LSD intensifies perception and affect to such an extent that it can become overwhelming. It also alternates how we see things.

I think it got more to do with the fact that Bananas are a domestic fruit in Brazil but need to be imported to the US/Netherlands/Australia.

Importing is more cost efficient at scale, i.e. importing dozens of tons of the same type of banana should be more affordable than importing the same tonnage of a dozen different banana types.

By catering to one or two established tastes you also run less risk of being stuck with excess banana stocks of types that might end up not appealing to the local tastes, so people play it safe and just import the types which are known to sell well.
One thing to add to this is that the a380 as well as 747-8 burn significantly more fuel per seat than their modern equivalent twin jets (a350 / 787). Last I checked the a380 burnt around 25-30% more fuel than a 787/a350. Putting more modern engines onto the a380 might give it another life line.

So in short: no economies of scale vs twin jets plus it being hard to reliably fill such a large plane are stopping jumbo jets.
I thought that comment was strange as well. For $10/month, Netflix provides a bevy of entertainment. It's probably one of the cheapest forms of entertainment - even more so among paid forms of entertainment.

If you're hurting for cash, try to get an amplified indoor antenna and Netflix. You'll make a one-time purchase of $20-$40 for an antenna[0], (likely) receive a decent channel selection[1], and $10/month for on demand streaming.

It looks like some work has been done on using AIC for neural networks:

- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978044489...

- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095219760...

- https://waseda.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/network-inf...

In principle it would be straightforward, right? AIC = 2k - 2ln(L). So set k = # weights + # biases, and use the log-likelihood as the objective function so you can just read off L from there.

I wonder if the reason why AIC is unpopular is that it's harder to explain to your boss than accuracy, precision, recall, or even proper scoring. This is perhaps more true now that statistical literacy in management increases -- the notion that you can't use training data to estimate performance is becoming popular. Now here comes a magic formula, calculated on the training set, that supposedly tells me how well the model will perform... that's not gonna fly in a lot of settings.

There's also the question of whether it even tells us what we want to know. AIC is an estimate of Kullback-Leibler information of a probability model, under somewhat-restrictive conditions [0]. The question of "why don't we use AIC?" might be the same as the question of "why don't we use proper scoring rules? -- people want to know accuracy, so they just go ahead and estimate accuracy by brute-force resampling. I'm not saying it's right, but until people see tangible value in thinking about their models from a probabilistic perspective, they won't be motivated to do so.

I've plugged it before, but the article "Model selection for ecologists: the worldviews of AIC and BIC" [1] is a great place to start.

It's aimed at practitioners, and discusses the relation between many statistical concepts (like AIC and cross-validation).

Me too. Measured in lines of code output, my optimal distribution of interaction probably looks like a Laffer curve. Too little and I distract myself often, too much and I spend all my time interacting and not much on code.

Put me on a job where interaction is also beneficial (pair programming, XP, working with a newbie, supporting QA at the next desk over) and I'm fairly sure I'm much more productive overall in a moderate-to-highly collaborative environment. Silent solitude sounds miserable. Completely miserable.

Growing money supply != inflation.

The capped lifetime supply of Bitcoin is already be priced into the market. This is a problem with every cryptocurrency except DOGE: there's no incentive to actually spend the stuff.

I hope DOGE stays cheap, and I hope it starts getting more adoption among "nerd" subcultures beyond just tipping. Imagine paying for your vinyl figurines or mechanical keyboard parts with Dogecoin! Imagine Bountysource and Patreon and Flattr accepting DOGE! It would be my distributed nerd heaven.
"what coins X, Y and Z are doing"

That's something I've been trying to see in some coins. A lot of them just promise a lot of stuff and when you look at their repositories, it either:

1. no real stuff being developed, just minor styling updates or replacing "bitcoin" with "x coin"

2. no activity in 2, 3 years

I'm pretty sure there are good projects and requires little investigation to detected possible scam coins.

It reminds me of Cal Newport's book Deep Work, where he argues those who can deliberately focus in the 21st century and actively deny themselves from being distracted (scheduled e-mail reading, banning Slack, only reading news certain times of the day) and go deep in subject matters will have massive advantages in the knowledge economy. The open office trend certainly hasn't helped. One of my friends who is a ML coder says he'll get 4x done in a single day at home compared to going to work where he gets bombarded by conversations.

After reading many books related to apps and attention (e.g. Hooked!, Irresistible), I elected to give up using Facebook, Instagram, and put heavy restrictions on my habit of going to Reddit/NYTimes/News Websites.

And I'll print things from the web so that I can concentrate on it without distraction in a quiet room with no digital distractions.

When I was younger, I probably called Knuth a luddite for abstaining from e-mail all the way back in the 90s. But wow, my opinion has done a full 180 over the 2010s.
What's the value of the in-app currency being a cryptocurrency (putting aside hype/pr), vs calling it a virtual currency, a Mysql database with a API on top?

Dropping to a technical level, if the miners are all run by Telegram, then I think it's just a pointless overhead over Mysql. On the other hand, if anybody can run miners, I don't comprehend what value that adds, what it means.
I might be wrong but wasn't it BSD that a few months ago released information on a critical vulnerability before the embargo was lifted?

... unless they suffer from the same problem as Intel CPU's Meltdown fiasco. Where the branch prediction runs concurrently with the security checking. The branch predictor hits and speculates, firing the bug, while the security check then decides "that's an invalid branch" and discard it--but it's too late the bug side-effect his occurred.

But I think for it to happen randomly, you'd need an invalid pointer that just so happens to jump to what "becomes" an instruction with a bug, and a branch. That seems pretty rare on first glance.
It appears that net profit (for AbbVie, at least) tends to sit quite comfortably between 20-30% most years - 24.27% last year, and hitting almost Elsevier-like levels (~32%) in 2009 [1]. That smells like profiteering to me.

Add to that their particularly hostile approach to patent applications (100+ on Humira alone), and to me it appears that AbbVie perhaps has a vested interest in stifling innovation and charging large amounts of money for their products "because they can".

What of Joyce's Ulysses?

The thing is, most authors do put considerable effort into readability, because it helps you get read, published and paid. There's an interesting parallel with this article - writer:programmer :: critique group:code review.

> Programmers, prone to investing their ego in their code, worry about criticism from a lot of people they don’t know. Slurs about competency abound in programmer forums. Code samples out of context get critiqued and subjected to stylistic nit-picking. That process can prove helpful for programmers with thick skins who can interpret criticism as either useful mentoring or useless insults. Less experienced programmers can get misled and brow-beaten. Public code reviews create a kind of programmer performance art, when programmers write code to impress other programmers, or to avoid withering criticism from self-appointed experts

s/programmer/author and it still holds. As does much of the rest of the article.

I would say that programmer education really does underplay reading code. Students are taught to write small pieces and may never be shown a large novel-sized lump of code unless they go looking for it.
Currently Bitcoin is neither inflationary nor deflationary.

It's a near zero swap (mostly other than fees). Nothing is created nor destroyed, which is why the primary argument for Bitcoin having much value today is as a value store.

You want to sell $1 million in bitcoin. Someone else is willing to pay you $1 million USD for those bitcoins. $1 million neither left nor was added to the economy. You now have the $1m USD to spend or invest as you see fit. You swapped positions, that's it. No deflation occurred at all.

Wouldn't it be easier to measure the P&L of a product (i.e. the output of a product-mode team), vs. the contribution of a single project to the company?

I agree that the product/project dichotomy doesn't solve the silo problem entirely, but it seems to make it easier to tackle if the organization is inclined to do so.

I think you're right that in the case of some organizations, the momentum of a product team could cause it to be harder to scale down than a project team (since it's expected that all project teams will wind down after a fixed time), but I don't think it's a clear win either way.

> why Forth went with 'word' over something standard like 'function', I don't know

Because tokens in Forth are always separated by spaces, like words. Also, "Function" would be inaccurate because they are not mathematical functions but procedures or "subroutines" (the "standard" word in the middle of the seventies).
Also a lot of the older lines - like the circle line - are much more shallow and were built by digging up the roads, putting in the tunnel and covering it back up (cut and cover) rather than by boring the tunnels.
