Well you certainly can't return other similar media products in this way.

I'm not even saying it is wrong necessarily, but in a system that allows around 90%+ of returns to have nothing to do with the product being defective I am just confused why people are saying the policy is draconian.

Also valve has stated specifically that the return system is not meant to be used as a demo, even though it is very clear that everyone is.

I mean does amazon allow you to return movies after watching them for 2 hours?

They made some really cool tools. The tools did not end up being a financial success or mindblowingly popular like a mainstream programming language, but they were still relatively popular. In that a lot of people at least know what it is. Most projects, no one even knows they exist.

Don't confuse popularity with merit in general, or not becoming massively popular with not being successful.

This is why vertically-sliced product teams work - they minimise the communication and coordination overhead associated with Doing a Thing(TM), while layered or function-specific teams make everything take so much longer - particularly as the formal documentation and communication overhead grows enormously when different teams are accountable for different aspects of the same system. When a small team owns an independent(-as-possible) vertical slice, accountability is shared and the need for well-documented communication is largely mitigated.

> Policing in America is racist.

Citation needed. The fact that certain ethnic groups have problems with crime and violence can be attributed to the fact they grew up in single parent households, are less educated, and have less income than other ethnic groups, all things that contribute to a higher crime rate.

> The paper mentions why having different treatment by race might have legal problems (e.g 14th amendment).

I don't see how anti-slavery has anything to do with this. If you are convicted of breaking the law, as a citizen you will be subject to the same punishments as any other citizen.
This thread was about "all the numbers that it's theoretically impossible to compute". If you think the difference between "irrational" and "non-rational" in this context is irrelevant, you have a weak grasp of number theory. Yes, all are non-computable, but in different ways.
If you're the only remote person, you're excluded from everything and there's probably no Slack or equivalent group discussion.

It's also a lot more complicated than that. People throw out studies that blacks are more likely to be caught for drug crimes. But they are less likely to be caught for more serious crimes. Possibly because they trust police less and are less likely to volunteer as witnesses. E.g. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-underpolicing-of-black-amer...

Last time this was discussed Zstandard didn't have a splittable mode and by the looks of it[1] they still don't. That doesn't make it a bad algorithm it just means that it's not a good choice yet for Hadoop et al. As far as I know no container format has implemented Zstandard yet.

Does anyone know any better? It seems like we could use a better alternative to Snappy.

Only February contains exactly four weeks (28 days), and only in non-leap years.

The average month 4.345 weeks:

365 / 7 = 52.142 / 12 = 4.345

Therefore:

10 months * 4.345 = 43.45 weeks

9 months * 4.345 = 39.105 week

Neither is 40 weeks. And anyway, 40 weeks is only an approximation as it is common for births to occur from 37 to 42 weeks from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period.

programming is not impossible. a lot of us do it. maybe as you say more people should instead of believing it to be impossible.

but most of us that do are pretty frustrated at the how much time it takes, and how many artificial concepts we have to become accustomed to.

compared to the systems we use, the fundamentals of information processing seem really quite simple.

maybe, there is a way of describing simple programs that doesn't require months or years to master. I certainly wish personally that little ideas that occur daily didn't take weeks to realize....and I'm pretty sure given the simplicity of some o those notions that there isn't anything fundamental that requires that amount of brute force work.

and if there were a system, that cut a bit more quickly to the chase - maybe programming would become a useful tool for people that don't have the time or temperament to spend a couple months learning how.
Fear not, if this study was done by a drug company for an anti-depressant that did marginally better than placebo over four weeks no one would question it's validity.
This is not really a credible claim any more, IMHO, as they have created close to a billion tethers in the last three weeks, and they magically seem to appear when the market goes down.

If true, it would represent around 10% of the fiat that has ever been put into cryptocurrency, going in by that one route, in three weeks, during a bear market. Does that seem likely?

> "A child can learn Python or JavaScript. You just have to show them that it’s cool. But instead most adults show kids that sports, video games and Netflix are cool."

Lots of kids know Python and JavaScript. They may think it's cool or not. They're right either way because nothing is objectively cool.

I'm a programmer and I myself see it as a means to an end (a fun one, sure). It's not meaningful to most people, not any more than plumbing or chess is meaningful to most people.

People don't only fail to learn hard programming languages because they're lazy or haven't unlocked the magic of programming. Many of them just don't care to learn them or enjoy them, and that's fine.

> Simplifying the medium of does not necessarily make task implementation any easier.

Except when it does. Programming in an IDE with code completion, IntelliSense, on-line help and an attached debugger is easier than going all macho developer and programming exclusively in raw text with the pico editor, using println traces as debug.

Sometimes, merely reducing the cycles that the human brain wastes on interacting with the medium makes the whole task simpler. If you don't force the user to think about building a program, they are freed to think about solving a problem.

Who, in this comment chain, is making any point about Vedas being purely religious? That is not apposite to this discussion.

The Vedas are a work of knowledge. In philosophy, in natural sciences. There is a strong argument to be made that they capture large parts of the essence of scientific temperament, which is analysis, refection & observation. But, modern scientific research is not just scientific temperament.

Practicing science, modern science, also requires evidence & follows a hypothesis-driven model that makes testable & provable / disprovable predictions.

You seem to be eager to misinterpret OR re-interpret terms to suit your perspective / point of view. "Evidence" based has a specific meaning. This [1] is a reasonable definition of what evidence based medicine means TODAY.

The vedas provide observations. They record correlations (perhaps). That's not evidence!

Lots of work has been lost; that's not unique to the Indian subcontinent. The library of Alexandria was lost. Many of Plato's works are lost. What does that have to do with modern science apart from regret & grief at what was lost?

I don't think that's an accurate generalisation. For people who have STEM degrees, I'd agree, but there are a large proportion of people who followed other degrees (English majors, History majors, Philosophy majors, etc...) where I'd suggest that bias towards the new is not as prominent.
Social media platforms are used for one-to-one communications and should support that. Furthermore, social media platforms should support sharing something with a group and only that group of people.

Really, the only time I should expect the content I share on a social media platform to be public is if I shared it as public content.

[Note that I am talking about technical capabilities and privacy here. Of course somebody with whom I shared private information can re-post it publicly, but solving that is out of scope for a technical solution - and is also true outside of social media platforms]

No, the algorithm just gives negative weight to locations where dangerous groups tend to live. You infer race from that measure.
How do you figure out if criteria are unbiased without actually implementing an unbiased estimator though?
(Not an AI. A statistical Bayesian-like where we can reason on inputs and outputs.)
It can be, especially at a company. (But then watch the bikeshed discussion on the tools. And PEP8 is a guideline, not a set of hard and fast rules. Beautiful is better than ugly and all that. ).

What I see as one of 5 maintainers of an open source project is that when a review comes back with a bunch of formatting comments, it's because the reviewer didn't step back and see the other parts. Raymond Hettinger has a talk where he discusses it, but it's the sort of feedback that can be given in almost any case and can obscure the more fundamental issues with the code.

It might also have something to do with the roughly 85-100 million people whose deaths can be directly attributed to policies enacted in support of socialist utopia during the 20th century. Advocates of socialism like to say that they're anarchist, or that they're anti-authoritarian; but enacting socialism inherently requires authoritarian measures, because it is so rarely the will of competent people to receive as little as incompetents. In cases such as the red terror, competence and success are explicitly terrorized and destroyed in service of the goal.

Socialism is authoritarian because at least one person, myself, is unwilling to have his tools and life work taken from him, and given to a fool who will squander them just as that fool squandered the opportunity to attain them.
I probably could have been more tactful. However the substance of my comment is correct, and while I believe Apple do great things in security and promoting privacy rights, they don’t provide end-to-end backups for most data via iCloud.

They don’t claim to, but the same misinformation gets spread every time this topic comes up on HN. If you want end-to-end encrypted cloud based backups of photos and other data on iOS you presently need to use a third party app.
Yes. That's the idea when managing insurance risk.

The question is if there are variables that should be excluded because optimizing trough them has harmful effects to the society and it's unfair. Smoking or alcohol use are noncontroversial variables. The quality of your friends, your political leanings are controversial.

ORC has a reserved future enum for ZSTD [1] (my guess is that FB already uses it).

The original headache was the patent licensing scheme[2] for the actual codebase, but now that hadoop has a ZStandard built into libhadoop.so, this is much more easy to ship to Apache.

My branch is so far behind now that I probably would implement it faster if I started over & used the libhadoop.so impl as the basis - https://github.com/t3rmin4t0r/orc/tree/zstd

It was registered as a clinical trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01383161?term=NCT0138...). If you are concerned about p-hacking and replicability, what should worry you is that the outcome measures posted during registration are rather vague, i.e. ".. show less evidence of cognitive decline (as measured with neuropsychological assessments)"

At baseline, they performed an extensive neuropsychologist test battery, including a bunch of subtests:

-Trail Making Test A
-WAIS-III Digit Symbol Substitution
-WAIS-III Block Design Test
-Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (copy)
-Trail Making Test B
-Stroop Interference
-F.A.S.
-Buschke-Fuld Selective Reminding Test [SRT]
-Wechsler Memory Scale-3rd Edition [WMS-III]
-Verbal Paired Associations I
-Benton Visual Retention Test
-Buschke-Fuld SRT
-Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test [recall]
-WMS-III Verbal Paired Associations II
-Boston Naming Test
-Animal Naming Test

The outcome measures they report are:

-TMT-A
-SRT
-BVMT-R

I would be _very_ surprised if those were the only tests they performed at followup after a 18 month (expensive) clinical trial. If these measures had been specified as the only outcome measures of interest, noone would question the results. But, when it was not registered, and when no other measures are reported, not even in the supplementary, the reader is left to wonder why that is.
