My comment was a little tongue-in-cheek, but you make a good a point. As other posts have mentioned, the email would be a proxy for other factors associated with age that age by itself can't capture.

If it's age at all. I'd bet it might be more closely associated with something harder to articulate or measure, along the lines of "a proclivity for clinging to subpar solutions." Someone who uses a subpar email service might also have ingrained poor driving habits.
Run time isn’t the problem, instaneous current is. I had my iPhone 6 randomly shut off. I would turn it back on (or it would reboot) and it had plenty of battery left. Maybe 60% or more.

I know someone who’s really effected by this. I imagine the thing would shut down all the time if they turned the option off.

That said, obviously my example is for one of the bad cases, not a case where the phone is only 10% slower.
The article was very very similar to this.

That is somewhat true, but I think the ecosystem will also have all of the advantages/disadvantages of strong network effects, with the added overhead of public governance.

Still, I think overall it's worth it to not have to trust a authoritarian intermediary.
It's down over 1% at the moment, but with it already so beaten down there's a limit to the impact of more bad news.
> Is turning up on time for your job a terrible metric?

Most devs are "round the clock" employees even though their job doesn't explicitly say so. If a serious production crisis happens at 3:00AM, all hands are on deck.
This has been known for a while now, and I would suggest it's not so much about "tractable" vs "intractable" problem classes.

It's important to understand what NP-hard means -- it doesn't mean exponential complexity, but worst case exponential complexity (a theoretical bound). It means there's always the possibility we will hit the worst case, but it doesn't mean we always do. If you exploit structure and apply heuristics, you can achieve very good average case performance.

In fact, we have been solving NP-hard problems in mission-critical environments quite efficiently for many years now.

Take the case of Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILP) -- that is, Linear Programs (LPs) with integer variables. It is well known that they are NP-hard. However, modern solvers (CPLEX, Gurobi) implement a whole bunch of heuristics and techniques that make solver performance extremely good on most problems. MILPs are used to do large-scale planning, routing, etc. and industry relies on MILP solutions every day.

MILP solvers today are 10^9 times faster than in 1991, and most of that speedup owes firstly to algorithmic breakthroughs, and secondly to machine improvements. It's astounding.

https://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/11-12/bc6...

That said, MILPs remain NP-hard, which means there's always a chance you will run into cases where the solution will take exponential time to solve (full enumeration). It's an escapable property of this problem class.

But the take-home is: NP-hardness does not inherently mean intractability in general.
"How to see the possibilities when there are so many things around you that are a certain way".

So much this, and this is something where trawling the old papers really, really helps. So much there that we have either (a) forgotten or (b) discarded, but forgot why we discarded it.

Now spending a lot of time trying to tell (a) from (b). Fun!

Actually, I never did any XMPP coding but from what I belief it is more difficult to get it 'complete' then to get it 'right'. I mean you get it 'right' even with a minimal/core implementation but 'complete' only with about the 50 most common extensions. Getting it 'right' seems to be a problem when the XEP definition is open to interpretation.

Nevertheless, I agree that it would not fit the XMPP ecosystem to be used as a micro blogging service. It's like using e-mail for IM: Possible, but not recommended.

Practical Verification of Peephole Optimizations with Alive
My understanding is that, at least in the context of local polution emissions (mostly smog related?) is that the difference between emissions between electric and gas cars is dwarfed by the pollution effects of rubber and concrete particulate matter created by driving.

I'm not entirely sure how accurate my knowledge is though, it's based on a few sort of tangential comments that connected some other data points I know, and not from any one source I can cite.

Also, the impression I got was this ignores things like leaking oil, which isn't measured by my state's emissions test. So I'm not trying to make claims about overall pollution effects between gas and electric.
Something I see come up regularly in discussions about women in tech is that women are often treated differently in their upbringing. For instance, many report an implicit (or even sometimes explicit) "computers are for boys" message that came from their caregivers, which shaped their connection to the tech industry. The causation here is not being a woman, it is being exposed to an environment that treats women in a certain way.

A similar norm I often see from caregivers is that they consider boys to be "rough and tumble" and girls "soft and dainty". It is easy to see how those behaviour classes could extend to insurance risk.

Is being a woman/man really the causation? Or is it something like the environment that the genders are brought up in? If it is the latter, how is that any different than a minority being brought up in a poor neighbourhood (and, statistically, stay there)? After all, in both cases, you are penalizing those who had an upbringing that is outside of the statistical norm due to a presence of correlation.

Take this line of dialogue (don't remember whether it's from the first or second):

"Well, she wanted me to get married too", Shallan said. "So I wouldn't call her sexist. Merely... Jasnah-ist?" She paused. "Jasnagynistic? No, drat. It would have to be Misjasnahistic, and that doesn't work nearly as well, does it?"

Now, without devolving into debating the anachronicity of the terms used here in general - this is a good example of what I am talking about, and perhaps 'hip' was the wrong way to word it, but it goes beyond mere 'bad wordplay' for me. If you can read the above without cringing, all the more power to you. For me, passages like these completely break immersion and leave me wondering whether I'm reading some kind of bad fanfic. And unfortunately, yes, that does color the rest of the reading, because trusting the author to be competent is (at least to me) an important part of staying immersed. And, thusly let down by Sanderson, my mind moves onto the other things that can be seen as flaws.

That being said, I don't feel disinterested: He has several good qualities as a writer. But just like the Marvel movies probably won't be regarded as the masterpieces of our times, despite their popularity, Sanderson's books are not, to me, worthy of such praise either. In the words of Francis Bacon, his books are to be "swallowed", not "read wholly, and with diligence and attention".

James Clapper lied to the Senate intelligence committee about the existence of NSA bulk data collection. Infuriating.
Is this really that news-worthy? My impression was that this happened all the time.

Something similar happened at the last startup I worked at. Employees were compensated with stock options over larger salaries. When the company got acquired, I along with every other employee walked away with nothing while the founders became multi millionaires. This pretty much killed my friendship with one of the founders, who later tweeted a picture of himself in a Ferrari and another toasting to his new status as a self-made millionaire. I'm not sure you can get much more obnoxious than that.

The least employers can do is hide it when they throw employees under the bus for obscene amounts of personal profits. Maybe even act a little benevolent about it by saying you plan on donating a portion of it to charity?
After Bitcoin Futures, Watch Out for Crypto Repos
Alcohol prices in Canada are sort of funny - the low end market is often massively inflated compared to the U.S., since the government (Ontario at least, I can't speak for the other provinces) sets minimum prices for alcohol - about $30 for a 24 pack of beer and about $10 for a bottle of wine.

As well, because (again, in Ontario) you have a single authority setting prices for all alcohol (beer and wine can in some cases be sold by private businesses, but the price is always controlled by the LCBO), prices are uniform across the province and you don't see the effect you see in the U.S. where rural areas have comparatively cheaper prices.

As a result, really cheap stuff is comparatively expensive but it levels out as the quality improves. I can get a 6 pack of Mill St, which is a higher quality but still mass produced beer (think maybe Goose Island) for $13 CAD / $10 USD, which isn't far off U.S. prices.

$60 for 30 Natty light is expensive though - remember that that's not a Canadian beer (I don't even think we can buy it in Ontario) - if you were buying Canadian or something like that you'd probably be closer to the $30 for 24 price.

Yeah, I remember the old categorization thing. I'm thinking of a much more high-level categorization: Here's sites selling shit. Here's web forums. Social media. Blogs. Commercial sites.

Honestly what I'd really like is a toggle that I can flip over to say "only show me sites that aren't trying to sell me shit", and then maybe I can read an honest review about the tent I'm interested in without 50 bullshit blog entries that just copy-pasted the manufacturer's copy and added an Amazon affiliate link.

I think you could only honestly say that Tesla and SpaceX have struggled with operations under his leadership if you're ignoring the level of success that both companies reached so far. He's busy, he's admitted and aware of switching costs of leading two companies - there is value to this though of course too; imagine if Elon only focused on Tesla and not SpaceX - where would we be as a society, where would Elon be position wise? He's following his intuition and his heart which he clearly wears on his sleeves. He's a wonderful role model, and we should support everyone the same way he's gained support from others; yes, he was entrepreneurial from a young age, and "got lucky" by knowing to move to the place that dreams are more easily funded. We fail as a society supporting everyone to reach their dreams to the same level, part of the reason are systems in place that are designed to control and funnel everyone into an economically efficient model - however ignoring the qualitative impact - it's why the idea of flexible learning, learning online at your own pace, etc are going to become the future.

I love the idea, and I'd be interested in buying with a few tweaks.

- I tried both a high-density (Manhattan) and a low-density (Very small, rural town) location. I had trouble finding a good balance between the zoom level on the large and small maps for both. For the dense location, I'd like the option to remove the smaller map and just have a big map of the immediate neighborhood.

- The numbers for locations across the street from each other overlap and one isn't readable. I cant' choose between suggesting the best brunch nearby and the best chocolate chip cookies in the whole city!

- Landscape mode would be a huge improvement.

- It looks like numbers are assigned to the small or large map without considering the zoom level. When I zoom in on the small map, numbers that move outside the boundaries should show up on the large map, not just dissappear.

- I can't change the section titles. For example, I'd like to change "My Favorite Places" to "Our Favorite Hangouts"

- For the rural location, only the first color option draws the roads correctly in the big map. The other three themes omit the roads!
It's really not that hard, and it's a myth that your free time is worth money. I have a child, a wife, and a demanding job.

Yeah, using an editor is so complicated. Maybe programming isn’t for you.
I think part of the reason for whiteboard style interviews is that programmers don’t have a professional body evaluating their programming skills and knowledge like many other professions do. You can have a CS degree without really being much of a programmer. I’ve seen quite a few Masters graduates that can’t program at fizz buzz level.
I agree that something like implementing a merge sort is ridiculous. On the other hand I think it’s fair to expect a CS graduate to recall some of what they have learned without the questions being condemned as pointless trivia.

We really need to find a way to restore the "home computer": You turn it on, there is a BASIC prompt.

(Of course we can't restore it 1:1, but that quality is so valuable)

UPDATE: I was probably a bit, er, terse. I am really about restoring that quality, and yes, the world has moved on and is in many ways better, so we absolutely cannot "go back", and yes, it is absolutely not a trivial problem. In fact, I'd say it is very, very hard. But so worthwhile.

Components are: open source; languages, particularly for UI programming that make "open source" meaningful (giving people the ability to tinker); development/customization interfaces on devices (shame on you, Apple...and almost everyone else), languages and libraries/frameworks that collapse our incredible complexity stack for the many simple things we want to do, etc.
Tumor is a kind of disease that faces various difficulties for treating because our immune system can not recognize it, and the tumor cell is a permanently dividing cell. Telomerase is essential for the immortalization of tumor cells so that it can serve as a good target for antineoplastic agents. If there are drugs which are able to turn off telomerase in tumor cells, the length of telomeres will gradually decrease as tumor cells divide, mutations will occur and tumor cells will become unstable. Experimental drug treatments have been performed in mice, while some drugs entering the early clinical trial phase.
I don't know anyone at SpaceX, but that info is fairly well-known and public.
Man, I love reading his writing. “Tango uniform”, fantastic.
In normal human cells, telomere shortening limits the grow ability of cells, telomerase re-expression plays an important role in cell immortalization and carcinogenesis. Therefore, some researchers think that cells with normal expression of telomerase activity will be easier to turn into tumor cells. In determining telomerase activity, it was found that more than 90% of normal tissue cells were negative for telomerase, associating this enzyme with the immortalization of the cells and the tumor. This situation has important clinical value for telomerase activation, diagnosis and suppression.

Lots of investors also sell when earnings beat estimates because they think they'll be selling high, etc. Point is there are tons of factors and it is way too simplistic to say beating earnings = price increase on that day.
Specific Information Related to Tumor Production
30 trillion normal human cells make up a complex and interdependent environment of common management, mutual regulation. A cell proliferates only when it receives growth stimulating signals from other nearby cells and stops growing when it receives an inhibitory signal. This interaction allows each tissue to maintain a certain size and shape to suit the needs of the body.

In contrast, cancer cells, which ignore signals that normally control proliferation, only follow their own intrinsic proliferation criteria. They can even move in and invade neighboring tissues. Due to such malignant tumor cells invade more and more tissues, they will cause the death of body when they interfere with the organs and tissues the body needs for survival.

Many of the proto-oncogenes normally function to transmit outside stimuli to cells. When a protooncogene mutation affects an important growth stimulating signal, it will activate the silenced gene. Some proto-oncogene mutations will interfere with part of the signal pathway in cells, such as Ras protein, so that in vivo genes are also activated in the absence of signals from outside growth stimuli.

Were using Zulip. Before that we used Mattermost but we migrated to Zulip because of its (in our opinion) superior conversation threading model and never looked back.

Mattermost, Slack, etc. all work fine when you work on a project basis but when you work on a lot of short lived operational issues (for example "Issue with invoice XYZ" Slacks conversational threading model breaks down quite fast. At least it did for us.

iirc there is also a paid hosted version of Zulip but I don't know that for sure.

Checklists.
Inhibition of the external signal is also can not be introduced into the cells due to the signal cascade interference. In addition, the cell cycle of cancer cells is also disturbed. A large part of the tumor cells in the p53 gene is missing or loss of function, which will lead p21 protein loses its ability to inhibit the cyclin, CDK5 and their complexes, thereby leaving the cell cycle unrestricted.

Generally there are two methods tissues involved to control cell proliferation and avoid cancer: One is cell apoptosis when important components in the cell are damaged or the control system is dysregulated; the other is the limit of cell multiplication.
I wish more people would work on ideas that would impact the poorer half of the human race.

> I am not sure what can be done about incompetent people being promoted to position of power where they make horrendous misinformed decisions.

A lot of the time this is because of the Peter Principle.[1] There are ways to combat it, though. A friend a Google explained to me that to get around this there, before being promoted you have to take on the responsibilities of the position you are looking to advance to for a few (or six?) months. Once you've proven that you can do the job passably well, they'll consider you for the promotion.

The idea is that you prevent advancing someone from an engineering role to a managerial role only to find you've lost a good engineer and gained a crappy manager, which is a double blow (ignoring for this example that engineering and managerial tracks are separate at Google AFAIK, and managers actually get paid a bit less at the same level).
