Being vegetarian the bar is quite high when it comes to burger companies and their marketing efforts - I am not going to be spending money in Burger King ever. However, after seeing this ad I do think that Burger King have a bit more to them than that rival burger chain.

They have been smart here because nobody wants to pay more for priority interwebs access - the fast lane pass. But actually they have done a good job of hopping on this bandwagon. It is okay to be against the government on something like this where riots are not going to happen, it is tame.

Now they could not do this jump on the bandwagon marketing with the other thing of the moment - crypto currency addiction, but this could be on either the side of government or the bitcoin-bores.

If they sided with government and went the extra mile to protect their customers from spending their money on alt-coins then there would be a lot of the bitcoin addicted that would take issue with this (probably starting with the semantics of bitcoin). Burger King could have a parody pyramid scheme burger store where none of the food was regulated, just regurgitated. People could be HODLing onto their burgers and fries could end up being used to back a new blockchain based currency for burgers, so everyone could convert their useless fiat money into fries, with those fries being convertible to good as gold bitcoin at any time, subject to transaction fees that can be paid in USD or BTC. Naturally there would be a fixed 22 billion fries to buy, no more. And funny stories about people who bought a pizza with ten million fries not realising how many burgers you could get with that.

Of course such a marketing campaign would alienate lots of customers, even if it was educational. So the net neutrality topic is extremely conveniently tame plus they can take the people vs the government on it, to play the underdog.

Yes, they have. kdb+ has been the standard bearer within finance for more real-time trading applications. Still, q as a query language tends to marginalize more of the organization from having access to the data.

TimescaleDB offers full-SQL at scale, opening the database up to more people. It's used to power longer-term trading platforms (for e.g., commodities trading) and interactive analytical dashboards (for e.g., research analysts). We also see applications in compliance and risk management.

And yes, TimescaleDB is open-source. So we see TimescaleDB as complementary to kdb+, which has been around for much longer as a proprietary system, is certainly full-featured and powerful, but is used more in real-time trading applications.
Nutrition science is, in general, a massive joke. It's more frustrating that the scientific/medical community will stand by the status quo because proving something to be true of humans is so incredibly difficult.

Edit: IMO, "hacking" is simply recognizing that the scientific community moves at a glacial pace and not waiting around for "experts" to arrive at a consensus 30 years from now to change something about your lifestyle/diet today that has been shown to be true of animals/smaller scale human studies many times over.
> because low-end programming is not a short-term growth play. We have to play the long game.

This is true, and one of the reasons we opted to look at the acquisition route rather than raising another round; with raising another round, a whole lot of expectations would be attached to that surrounding growth, while we were still operating heavily in a research capacity.

Languages like Rust and Go that have nice corporate incubators are a great model, but these languages tend to serve their corporate benefactors in some direct way. It's hard to pitch a greenfield project like Eve, because there's no real great way to quantify the benefits of a language before it's been fully realized.

I think there's 2 primary motivations for acquisition;

1. purchase for innovation.

2. market control.

I think the latter is what people squawk about the most. Employees of the acquired will always find it uncomfortable. Small companies often have limited process where larger companies generally need it to function. That being said I don't think larger companies cull/assess the impact/efficiency of their processes on a regular basis.
This is hilarious. Great app by the way!

The assumptions I'm making are:

1. There exists, for many tasks, some indivisible, minimal unit of value created by work. If you need your car today, but your mechanic left an hour early with the engine disassembled, it doesn't matter that they finished 95% of the work. The value of that 95% to you is zero.

2. In practice, how your work is thought to be divided into value-units (by whoever is assigning it) matters more than than how you think it is, or how it optimally could be.

3. Whether the demands on you are self-imposed, or reasonable, or whatever else, not meeting them has consequences.

It isn't tautological to say that, even after finding all the better ways to do it, there are things you have to do and there exists some minimum amount of time you need to do them (N). If you work k fewer hours than required, you won't finish work that takes N time. This is just an observation of a fact.
Sorry. I've updated the comment and added the link. As far as I understand taking 10x the RDA won't have side effects because that's not an overdose, that's the correct dose and the RDA is a mistake.

I haven't tried this myself yet though. I am taking 1000 IU now (and it makes a difference I can feel already as compared to taking nothing or 1 RDA) while waiting for the 10'000 IU pills to get delivered from eBay. I didn't knew I actually need this much before reading the paper by the link.
Is this an efficient doorway into understanding CSS grid, one that has the bonus of giving you useful code? Or, is this more of a crutch, the output of which will not educate you about the grid goodness?

I'd like it to be the former, so that I can be productive out of the gate and figure out what I'm doing as I go. That may be unprofessional, but I make quick-and-dirty prototypes for academics; nothing that has to scale. Plus, I'm lazy.

I asked some people a few years back if some equivalent to Moores law on the qbit size, and what it meant for cryptography applied. Their answer was that there wasn't good evidence of a direct linkage at the qbit density we had now, to achievable breaks in RSA, but that also the fundamental metric was probably wrong right now. Yes, how many qbits is interesting. But also how stable they are, how many states you can demonstrate, which specific solutions you target in open questions which QC can address.

I'd like a statistic for that. To me that sounds like a classic observation bias. Just like germans frequently complain how unfairly bad the US gov treats VW or Deutsche Bank. Something i also haven't seen objective info for or against.
How was Light Table a failed kickstarter? It got funded and Chris delivered exactly what he said he would. You can go and use Light Table today. The reason he stopped working on it was the realization that his ultimate vision for Light Table is something exactly like Eve, and would be impossible with languages like JS, Pyhton, and Clojure.

Every acne thread has the inevitable comment about Accutane.

And every comment is essentially the same. It’s the only thing that worked for me.

I still love to read them. I’m still amazed by it. It’s literally the only drug I’ve ever encountered that could truly be called a “magic pill” in that it will permanently cure you of what you are taking it for.

The side effects are pretty crazy though. I had to wear sunglasses even when it was cloudy due to photosensitivy for the months I was taking it. Carried Aquaphor in my pocket for the perpetually dry lips and my whole face pretty much flaked off during the first few weeks.

100% worth it. I get a minor pimple every 6 months or so if I don’t wash my face. It used to be completely covered with acne.
While Eve is an interesting problem, the main issues that makes programming hard are the same thing that makes law hard:

1) Specifying something in an unambiguous way.

2) Knowing what assumptions you are making.

3) Anticipating contingencies.

Read a contract or the tax code. Even though they are using English (in the US), it requires an advanced degree to be able to craft such legal documents well.

It is the same thing in software. No matter how easy and intuitive you make the language and environment, you will still run into those 3 issues, and it will require dedication, training (whether formal or informal), and time to make a great programmer.
Totally false. It is a technology problem. Apple is at the forefront of engineering technical ways to make it impossible for them to decipher your data.

Specifically HealthKit data "is stored in Data Protection class Complete Protection, which means it is accessible only after a user enters their passcode or uses Touch ID or Face ID to unlock the device." Furthermore, "When configured for iCloud storage, Health data is synced between devices and secured by encryption that protects the data both in transit and at rest. Health data is only included in encrypted iTunes Backups. It is not included in either unencrypted iTunes backups or iCloud Backup."[1]

You also provide zero evidence that "Apple will sell your data" even if they could get it. Nothing in that citation about using China-based servers supports it.

Just to play devils advocate for a moment :)

1) The video showed that you could receive a chicken sandwich now. That you were only paying more to receive only ,specifically, a whooper faster. This I thought shows preferential treatment over different types of food (data).

2) the quality of the food was not an issue in this video everyone was receiving the 'same' whooper, presumably.

3) The example burger king made was not quite the same as bribing a Maitre d' to get a table faster than other customers due to limited table resources. The video showed them withholding whoopers that were already made and ready to go, for a certain time-frame, in order to shake down the customer for more money. The idea that others who paid more for their whooper got it faster, due to limited supply of whoopers, was not the issue. The issue was that burger king would be falsely creating a pipeline delay, simply to get money out of the end user.

Although, all metaphors will be mostly speculation, as far as how it will directly relate to future ISP behavior and it's relationship with the end users. How exactly US ISP's decide to use the repeal of net neutrality, debatably, remains to be seen. It would be quite hard to form a 100% accurate metaphor for something that hasn't been fully realized quite yet. I do not mean this to imply that the behavior would in anyway be good. simply that the specifics of it are still unknown.

As a side note I like to think burger king is also inadvertently creating a self-deprecating metaphor. I hope that in the Internet world it is also only the shitty food that is being tiered. If you have to pay more to get Google, Facebook, Amazon (terrible junk food) then no worries for me. Unfortunately that bit of speculation is probably way to optimistic. ;)

The key issue is that it's not sufficient. A model that explicitly uses race gives quite similar results to a model that "just" uses e.g. zip-codes and all kinds of other information; many of these things are highly correlated.

I'm sure that facebook could give (if they wanted) a very, very good guess about the shade of your skin simply based on your history of likes, pages seen, etc.
Perhaps we can just embrace this new reality of corporate decision making in politics, and game the system. If companies like Burger King can be brought to the consumer's side on certain issues, perhaps it's possible to rally many others to bring powerful special interests to heel. Imagine a future where rather than jamming stupid advertisements down our throats, companies can just straight up "buy" the good will of their consumers for a time by openly opposing certain things legally. If the citizen's only worth to political discourse is the amount of cash they have in the bank and how they spend it, then maybe this is just the natural evolution of democracy to a more pure, unpretentious form.

> "So highly educated people can't be passionate about food?"

What a bizarre deduction. I'm passionate about food, I have no interest in starting my own restaurant.

It was a generalization based on my own observations, most banks lend to safe well-established models, university graduates tend to gravitate towards newer things.
I wrote the parent post. Here are my reflections on the responses (which were insightful as always).

Regarding turning up on time and professionalism - For me the main component of professionalism isn't trust but respect.

Demanding an employee arrive by a certain time may or may not be a good way to run a business (up for discussion), but, once you as the employee have agreed to do so then consistently being late is a sign of disrespect. Part of how I would define professionalism is doing what you have agreed to do (or making a good faith attempt, even if not possible). If you still think it's unreasonable, consider if your employer paid you a couple of days late - is this still ok?

A lot of the comments mentioned what they consider to be attributes of a good manager, but only from their perspective as someone being managed. To me a bad manager would be someone who allows a centralization of knowledge in one person, so much so that that person can start to behave in a disrespectful manner (YMMV).

Some programmers have the attitude that they are indispensable and can behave anyway they like. There is a certain irony in the fact that we optimize/destroy other peoples jobs for a living but don't consider the possibility that it will end up happening to us - other professions are not as forgiving of some of the behaviours we might consider normal or fair.

Please let me know what you think (lessons on grammar also welcome).
Maybe along the lines of 'A statistical definition for reproducibility and replicability'? I think there are more attributes to be included, but it seems like a good place to start on a 'nutrition label' for papers.

Thanks for the thoughts. Room for improvement.

I had in mind something more like a bridge toll. Two people leaving NYC, one going to New Jersey, the other to Pennsylvania. To get over the George Washington bridge, they are charged different amounts.

The bridge authority (Comcast) is in bed with Jersey (Netflix), so they have an incentive to Charge the PA people (Hulu) more and keep the Jersey traffic flowing.
Do you have a link or a more-searcheable term? This sounds like a fantastic rabbit hole to do down, given I spent a significant proportion of the last week tuning PID to run well at very low motor RPMs... (have a look at the repos for the hardware and firmware for the VESC motor controller for some fun: https://github.com/vedderb)

The problem with Pis is going to be that running Linux they're at best soft real-time. Sampling, PID, etc needs hard real-time.
Toll booths charging more if your car is red, or if it’s a certain brand, or if you have a Wyoming license plate.

That's usually called an "online" algorithm, in my experience. It does seem to agree with the way it's used in this context.

Ayurvedic medicine is far from infallible. Take this for instance, a selection from a reasonably popular Ayurvedic text (https://www.amazon.in/Bhojan-Chikitsa-1-Ganesh-Narayan-Chauh...) that is aimed at a general audience and purports to explain the health benefits of various common foods (my translation follows):

> कैंसर: कैंसर में पहले तीन दिन रोगी को उपवास कराएं, फिर अंगूर सेवन कराना आरम्भ करें। कभी-कभी एनिमा लगाएं। एक दिन में दो किलो से अधिक अंगूर न खिलाएं। कुछ दिन पश्चात छाछ पीने को दी जा सकती है। अन्य कोई चीज़ खाने को न दें। इससे लाभ धीरे-धीरे महीनों में होता है। इसकी पुल्टिस घावों पर लगा सकते हैं। इस रोग की चिकित्सा में कभी-कभी अंगूर का रस लेने से पेट-दर्द मलद्वार पर जलन होती है। इससे डरना नहीं चाहिए। दर्द कुछ दिनों में ठीक हो जाता है। दर्द होने पर सेक कर सकते हैं।

> Cancer: for cancer, have the patient fast for three days, then begin their intake of grapes. Perform enemas intermittently. Don't feed the patient more than two kilos of grapes in a day. After a few days, buttermilk may be given for drinking. Do not provide anything else to drink. In the next few months, an improvement will slowly be noted. A poultice may be applied to their wounds. In the course of the treatment of this disease, the intake of grape juice will occasionally cause stomachaches and a burning sensation on the anus. This is no cause for concern. The pain will subside in a few days. Compressions may be given to alleviate the pain.

You could argue that such obvious quackery has also been peddled by Western doctors who are trained in the scientific method. That is true, but at least these doctors' manuscripts wouldn't be accepted by any reputable journal. Admittedly I'm not sure how the Ayurvedic medical community organizes itself in India, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't place so much emphasis on the scientific method, and you also imply this in your comment.

A less extreme example of what's found in the book, a remedy for diabetes using bitter gourd juice:

> मधुमेह: रोगी को १५ ग्राम करेले का रस सौ ग्राम पानी में मिलाकर नित्य तीन बार करीब तीन महीने पिलाना चाहिए। खाने में भी करेले की सब्ज़ी लें।

> Diabetes: Have the patient drink 15 grams of bitter gourd juice in 100 grams of water 3 times daily continuously for three months. They should also eat cooked bitter gourd.

I think you'd agree that the remedy above isn't as good a treatment for diabetes as an insulin regimen--the one prescribed, by the way, by Western medicine.

In summary, there's no doubt that traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda or Chinese traditional medicine have discovered legitimate remedies, but it seems like they generally prescribe a large number of false positive treatments. And if you also believe that the scientific method is the best epistemological apparatus that humans have found so far, then you should be skeptical of these remedies until they have been clinically demonstrated to be effective.
