I'm referring to Socialism as it's author intended. Precise language is a feature not a bug, and helps cut down on misunderstandings and needless confusion/arguments.

Calling a free market welfare state, socialist, is like saying 'literally' when you literally meant 'figuratively'. Without vocal cues or meaningful context, you'll be misunderstood.
Murphy Brown was the first show I can recall that dispensed with a theme song entirely and just displayed the credits over the opening scene. I remember thinking it was a revolutionary change (especially for a sitcom) when I first saw it back in the early 1990s.
Jeez that scene is truly heart wrenching. I wasn't awfully keen on McConaughey films previously, but you're right, there's something about this role where he knocks it out of the park. I then watched Dallas Buyers club, he nails that as well.
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.
For me it's Chess - It's a flow state with a simply defined (incredibly complex to solve problem) and a few wins makes me feel energised (of course my W/L% is almost exactly 50/50), I don't draw much).

If I couldn't play Chess online I don't know what else I'd do to relax that wasn't vegging in front of the TV.

This year I'm going to my local club as well and play OTB for the social aspects.
yeah, but there exist objective measurements of ability. As in my parakeet objectively cannot be taught to read and understand a book, for example.

no, we wouldn't eat humans who do not have IQ of 1-3 year old, because we would recognize that they are human and don't have that IQ from disease or misfortune, not because of their inherent incapability of having it.
I just checked, and a portfolio of just the sp500 absolutely destroys the prime rate.

unless we are talking about two different things (what is the best thing to invest in to get the most returns over the long run), either you missed interpreted what the course was trying to teach you or its just factually wrong.

I took historic data from 1950 till now and matched it with the prime rate. I even gave you the benefit of the doubt by taking the max prime rate of the given year.

even if you invested at the peak of the dotcom bubble in 1999, you would have done better (100$=>255$ vs 246$)

For Whorf, it was an unquestionable fact that language influences thought to some degree: [...]

He seems to regard it as necessarily true that language affects thought, given

- the fact that language must be used in order to think, and

- the facts about language structure that linguistic analysis discovers.

He also seems to presume that the only structure and logic that thought has is grammatical structure.

These views are not the ones that after Whorf's death came to be known as ‘the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis’ (a sobriquet due to Hoijer 1954).

Nor are they what was called the ‘Whorf thesis’ by Brown and Lenneberg (1954) which was concerned with the relation of obligatory lexical distinctions and thought. Brown and Lenneberg (1954) investigated this question by looking at the relation of color terminology in a language and the classificatory abilities of the speakers of that language.

The issue of the relation between obligatory lexical distinctions and thought is at the heart of what is now called ‘the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis’ or ‘the Whorf Hypothesis’ or ‘Whorfianism’.

These days I find the relationship between writers and twitter more interesting than twitter itself. It's like they still haven't internalized the properties of the medium that were well-understood back in 2010.

Maybe they're just the voice of perspectives that are more widespread, but every news or pop culture take I see about twitter seems to be born from the unexpectedly-complicated relationship they seem to have with becoming yet another head in an unimaginably large crowd of people. Where everyone can talk to everyone, anyone, or nobody in particular.
> To me, this rebuttal reads, "I don't understand it, ergo it must be dubious".

That is not intended - it's more "I don't understand it, I'm happy to believe it's broken but all we get is Appeal To (self)Authority as to why rather than actual usefulness."

The Amstrad CPC had 64K or 128K of RAM + 32K of ROM (in a total addressable space of 64K) using "RAM banking". The Amstrad PCW was the same but with even more RAM (up to 512K). This worked very differently from what we now think of as virtual memory.

On the CPC it worked as follows: There were two 16K ROMs, located at 0-16K and 48K-64K. The 16K-48K middle area contained 32K of fixed RAM.

The upper and lower ROM areas were shadowed by RAM. By writing to an IO port you could switch in either the ROM or a 16K bank of RAM individually into each of those two 16K areas. There was an elaborate system of trampolines to allow the ROM functions to be called, or for the ROMs to read/write to the bank of RAM "hidden" under them.

Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16079674 explains how RAM banking works in Symbos.
Yes. Which is why it only prevents false claims (the original concern), and why I label it as a weak protection. Of course, it's also only really going to come into play during the lawsuit phase of the notice and takedown process, a process unlikely to be automated.

I was... responding the last sentence of the parent.

All economics and human societies, really, are bubbles. Very, very long-lived bubbles. Obviously growth on Earth is ultimately limited, so yeah, these very long-lived bubbles cannot go on forever. The real trick is to predict when any one bubble will burst!
Maybe I misunderstand the term "pipeline problem" [1], but these quotes seem to confirm rather than refute that there is a pipeline problem.

In my experience, boys and girls start out equally interested in male and female fields. But the number of girls/women is slowly whittled down until you reach the discrepancies you have e.g. in tech [2].

One factor I rarely see discussed is that technical / natural science fields are "default" study choices for young men. My male friends who didn't know what to study chose physics or computer science, my female friends mostly chose something else. It's funny that I saw an opposite whittle-down effect during my physics studies: the gender ratio became much more balanced as time went on, from just a handful of women when we started to about 1/3 when I was in grad school. I think the reason is that we have a high quitter's fraction (I think 40% in the first two years), and all the boys who chose physics because they didn't know what else to take were pushed out, whereas all the girls who started were talented and interested to begin with.

Another factor is that it seems to be uncool to be interested in math and science as a girl (even more so than for boys). I did some outreach / ask a scientist events, and when girls asked a question, they often got really strange looks and rolled eyes from their peers. It's the same social pressure that prohibits boys from doing "girl" things (and the same reason I never learned an instrument. The music club was mostly girls, the kids considered it "gay" to join, and I was not confident enough to join anyway).

[1] I suspect "it is a pipeline problem" is just a codified figure of speech meaning "I think there should be no women's quotas or affirmative action". Which is of course silly, there is a leaky "pipeline" due to a multitude of social pressures, and one way to fix this is to steer against and have quotas or formalized procedures to make sure you don't discriminate further against women. Ideally give women a second chance to not fall through the leaks, and to become a role model - because the kids need to see role models.

[2] Another problem is the "boys club" mentality, especially in higher management. You can give girls all the tech education you want, it doesn't matter if women are excluded from relevant positions. This is not an either-or (e.g. "pipeline" or "sexism"), you have multiple mechanisms that contribute to the gender bias we have.
I don’t believe so. We usually recommend spacemacs for that. (They do an excellent job with their config)
> Why does every OS screenshot (not from a big company) always have to have a few pictures of women in it?

> It's ridiculously unprofessional in my book.

If it were pictures of men, people would complain that there are no women included in the pictures people (i.e. women are discriminated against). You can't be everybody's darling.
It's provably wrong.

The risk free rate of return is reduced because people want to leverage short term cash flows. A 99% chance of gaining 5% is not necessarily worth a 1% chance of losing 5%. EX: Collage tuition is paid before teachers salary's are paid, so collages want somewhere to stuff money for a weeks, but losing money is vastly worse than some minor gains.

If you model the stock market by say buying evenly from all stocks and selling in 50 years repeat. Then some outliers like dell at IPO going up 500x more than makes up for losses. But, you can still lose a lot of money over say 5 or even 20 years and people can't necessarily wait 50 years.
This I disagree with. There is a sort of Nolan cult, which I think is undeserved. He is a fine film-maker, but his dialogue is often stilted, the scores overstated and the characters under-developed - and while he is a decent cinematographer, his pictures aren't something that he will be remembered for.

His films are good and incredibly entertaining, but Kubrick is on a completely different plane.
[edit]

Actually none of the supported platforms have less than 128KB of RAM, so it might not run on that.
How to Grow as a Data Scientist Part 2
Yes, the idea that every human life is priceless is utter nonsense that needs to be disposed of.
Yeah I don't get why you'd assume 4th year Mathematical Finance would be common knowledge. It still strikes me as knowingly condescending.

I don't agree that someone else has to lose in order to gain. That assumes zero growth, which is not the case.

I think people don't know what you're talking about because you seem to just be repeating stuff you heard in a lecture hall 10 years ago when the world is vastly more complicated.
That's the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, isn't it?
Do you have another example of him fighting the accepted wisdom on anything other than the fat/sugar ratio someone should be eating?
While this may very well be true, I encourage everyone to consider deeply whether you think this to be likely because of the specifics of the situation, or because you disagree with Ajit Pai's policies.

Also in the future, be consistently skeptical when you hear news stories about people you are sympathetic to also saying they've been experiencing tons of death threats or harassment online.

"How is this planned economy thinking? It seems to loosen regulation in local markets to allow developers to more readily meet demand."

It's state government trying to override local economic (zoning) decisions. It's the very definition of a centrally planned economy.

"Contrary to what you say Brisbane is served by public transit by both Muni and Caltrain."

There's one Caltrain stop. It's a 30-minute walk from the residential part of Brisbane, across the freeway and around the dump. MUNI bus service to the area is irregular and unreliable. The only practical commute option is car.
It seems like it (didn't see that there was a JS version of the exploit until after I posted), although they can only read from the address space of the process the JS code is running in. I think tabs get individual processes (in Chrome at least), not sure about Firefox or other browsers, so I'm not sure how bad this is in practice.

Also, FWIW none of us make any money on offering these debit card products. We actually do it to give people that have digital currency a quick off ramp. Here is how the programs technically work:

1. Infrastructure company pre funds an account with an issuing bank.

2. User sends digital currency to infrastructure company to add to their card.

3. Infrastructure company receives that currency, and alerts bank to debit their account for fiat.

4. Infrastructure company has to find an exchange to trade OTC as often as possible to protect against as much volatility as possible, while keeping in mind the minimum OTC trade size is generally $250k USD.

5. Infrastructure company has to wait 3 days for a wire to then add more funds to the pre funded account.
I purchased the computer as my first computer to do work on for my startup.

Item number 1 is not going to be: reformat the computer, risking the warranty, reinstalling the OS, removing the professional support that I have wanted my whole life but never received, and spend weekends getting WiFi to work with an external card since there's no way the WiFi would work on the Ubuntu install on the Windows machine, I was told. I called their support and they clarified for me that I would not be able to get WiFi or their professional support once I changed the OS. I got 10 minutes of use out of the first paid professional support I ever got in my life, and they told me that there was no solution to my problem and that I would not be allowed to call them again if I proceeded.

It's insane that I'm expected to do all of that to a machine that should have been productive for me on day 1. It would have been weeks of work to get ready to work. Not the plan.

I bought a machine to use professionally for work and Dell screwed me by giving me the wrong product, taking my money, and refusing to return it for about two weeks.

The whole thing was an absolute disaster and I will never buy a Dell again.

I was more trying to point to RISC in general ("RISC is good" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPrUmViN_5c). What I really wanted to say is that we've tried but RISC hasn't really been successful in the (mass consumer) market, which because of ARM is only partially true.

In truth you're correct, and ARM is sort of an unruly mess at this point, but that's a much larger discussion.
This is a common problem with more and more companies relying on SAML federation. A part of this problem is solved by using SCIM provided your IDP and service supports it.

RainforestQA (YC12) | Data Scientists and Software Engineers | San Francisco + the world | REMOTE | Full-Time

We're hiring Data Scientists and Software Engineers, among other roles, to change the way software companies do Quality Assurance.

https://www.rainforestqa.com/jobs/

We have plenty of interesting technical challenges and we care a lot about cultivating a good company culture (you can see our CEO talk about it here https://lattice.com/resources-for-humans/fred-stevens-smith-...). We've been remote-first on the engineering side since the early days and most of our engineers are distributed all over the world including the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. We fly everyone to SF for face-to-face meetings a couple of times per year.

We're working with a bunch of tech, from fraud detection, plain-old Random Forests, to using CNNs to visually understand websites, to managing thousands of testers using thousands of freshly-provisioned VMs, to provisioning real mobile devices for app testing. You can see a short talk I gave about one of our older projects here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_h8PElXio8.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have :)
I suspect that the issues with safe vs risky assets are a result of how screwed up the definition of economic risk is:

* Risk is defined by relatively short term visible price fluctuations, with "unusual" events removed from the model as "uncertainty".

* The risk model seems to use a Gaussian distribution, which doesn't fit the data particularly well.

Oh god, this brings me back (I used to be the C++ maintainer for GDB eons ago)

It's even more convoluted than the author suspects, because

1. GDB has to figure out which function to call (it does overload resolution for C++, for example, and this varies by language)

2. GDB has to do type coercion on the arguments if necessary (ditto)

3. There are significant ABI and other issues, both at the processor level, and at the language level, in where the arguments go (registers or memory), in calling the right thunks, etc.

This is one reason LLDB uses clang to do most of the work of telling it what the expression you are trying to call actually means, so it can just pretty much execute it.

One can loosely think of an appreciating cryptocurrency as a short-term loan. You're out cash up front. Later, and only later, you get it back plus a little more.

The infrastructure company in your example is thus, by turning cryptocurrency's promise of cash tomorrow into cash today, providing maturity transformation [1]. This is one of the core services of a bank. It is also an inherently risky business on account of the asset-liability mismatch.

Monopoly isn't defined by share of whatever market description you find convenient, it's defined by pricing power: whether the seller can raise prices over some range without losing sales to competitors. There's lots of times when things in what intuitively descriptively are the same market by some product description are different markets in practice because people don't, in practice, substitute between them in response to price movement.
I had a theory that the Hedonic Treadmill could be worked in reverse. We become acclimated to our status quo and any stress we feel is real at a biochemical level, even though we lack perspective on people who “really suffer”.

So I found the gentlest exercise program (if your joints are good, try yoga. If not try Tai chi. If not try qigong). It’s still a lot of work and sometimes you want to quit.

After six months I got into a volunteer group that involved manual labor outdoors. I got a little nature and to hang out with generous people.

Now I’ve added a hobby where I make things.

All of these have adversity in them. My thesis is that being able to deal with one type of adversity gives you callouses against the rest be they mental or physical. So far it seems to be true.

I also did very simple things like make myself take a real lunch. Even read. And when I sat down to do pass times like play a video game or watch a movie, my internal narrative was “I’m doing this to decompress or recharge”. Which also meant it was easier to time box and I would pick something I knew I would enjoy instead of feeling obligated to choose one over another.
