Great question! It is true that generic engagement/activity metrics tend to be highly correlated to conversion, and the absence of any activity tends to be correlated to churn. We see those features show up often.

But the propensity models built in ClearBrain tend to be more specific. The target variable can be defined as any client or server-side event you've tracked in Segment, or any trait/attribute of your user. As such, common use cases tend to be around predicting conversion events to discrete stages of a user journey - separate models for whom will move from plan type A --> B --> C, etc. So even if a generic engagement metric shows up as highly correlated for these discrete stages, the benchmark in engagement would be different and hence still intuitively helpful to diffrentiate groups of users.
>The difference being that, in the US, the long-term dysfunction of our political system has allowed the regulatory framework for healthcare to be built to service its own industry, rather than the needs of individual citizens or society at large.

You can templateize that statement, inserting pretty much any aspect of life in place of healthcare and it will still be true.
Why Agile Transformations Usually Don't Work – Part 4 – Transparency
This person does not exist. It is a myth created in Silicon Valley. What 'Full Stack' should really mean is someone who can learn new technical skills real fast. Someone with a passion for learning and implementing what she learns. In an ever-expanding technology scope, it is really impossible to know it all, but one can be on a journey to be curious and learn the skills that the job needs.
That differs from city to city, sometimes even smaller than that.

Personally, one of the reasons I don't bother to use my bike very much is that the bike racks near my undergraduate institution's lecture buildings - but not their counterparts anywhere else in this city - are almost constantly packed to the brim.

I’ve found good use of Polymail and pay $20/m for team pro. It’s a love-hate relationship though due to small but disruptive UX patterns. Some examples:

The MacOS app does not follow normal keybinding conventions. Specifically, ESC causes the app to exit full screen and cmd+shift+f doesn’t enter full screen. No option to customize either.

The iOS app will instantly show notifications for new emails, but upon opening up the app you have to wait 5-10 seconds for the emails to appear (while gmail is instant).

That said I enjoy the inbox zero image, snoozing of messages, and overall style.
I don't use Strava, so pardon the ignorant question -- is the default for your data to be public?

If so, then I completely blame them for this. If not, then this is clearly a user error.

Clinging to 52 ESR until August 28 is fine. That's what it's there for.

Clinging to 56 is ... well, it's your decision to use what software you want, that's what free software is all about, but since half the point of the changes in 57 was improved security architecture, clinging to 56 and expecting fixes for security bugs seems ill-advised.
The traditional economic view is that private, profit seeking enterprises actually offer better prices to consumers because of competition, while monopoly firms charge higher prices bc they have more market power, and government run enterprises yield lower quality products because they don't have incentive to compete on quality. India has a very competitive healthcare system that is largely out of pocket and while they aren't perfect, they do pretty well considering the size of the country and their per capita gdp. On the other hand, though it is common to praise "single payer" European systems, these systems are not without fault. France is actually trying to learn about innovative American models of care because their system won't be able to afford caring for an aging population

The US system is more expensive due to weird interactions of profit seeking and regulations, and idiosyncratic local systems, all exacerbated by lobbying and political issues (like hospitals being major employers in most counties). Arguably another part of the US healthcare cost premium is that the US invests the most in innovation

It's simply not true either that healthcare is cheaper by orders of magnitude than other countries. Using health care expense as % of GDP as a metric of comparison, the US is at 17-18% while France / U.K. / Germany are around 10-12%

Attributing the high cost of healthcare in the US is a bit facile and simplistic

Brevik was one of the founders Condor (Brevik was the president while the Schaefer brothers were vice-presidents) which later became Blizzard North when Blizzard bought them. The work on Diablo started before Blizzard bought them. He really was one of the "creators". IIRC they made the first Diablo game with a team of 15-20 people. In a team that small pretty much everyone is a "game designer" as in everyone wears many hats (especially the president of the company)

Isn't it simply that children have far less preconceptions of the world, as they haven't had time to form them, and that unstructured play is part of how children satisfy the in-built drive for novelty and understanding?

They need to play to make sense of the world. To a child, the most mundane things are genuinely fascinating and novel, as they haven't experienced them much yet.

Psychedelics are one way to reach this state of mind as an adult. They unravel our preconceptions a noticeable amount, transforming the mundane into something novel and fascinating yet again.

I think this perspective, with some effort, can be fostered as an adult as well. Of course, it's a balancing act.
> That moment may have been the birth of the ARPG genre.

Gauntlet (1985) had real-time combat, and predated Diablo by at least a decade. If that isn't RPGish enough, Ultima Underworld came four years before Diablo.

Diablo definitely perfected the ARPG, though.

> I don't even mind the e-bike trend as much as some people

Taking this off topic but.. what? Why would anyone "mind" e-bikes? I recognize that you and me are probably in very different filter bubbles but everyone I know is either ambivalent to them or a fan (and owner).

Here in NL bike commutes certainly increased. People used to mostly commute within their city, but now that e-bikes don't suck, I know several people who do 2x 30+km commutes by bike every day without breaking a sweat (literally). And don't even get me started about enabling semi disabled people to bike places again, it's fantastic. Isn't that super neat? What am I missing?

I like FB less and less - for all the same reasons that others here have posted. It is especially frustrating and vexing to me because I had build a "Facebook clone" about fifteen years ago that had all the features that I would like to have in a social/informational web service. Surely there are other places we can go online that have a better user experience. I am curious what other web sites people are using to do social blogging. Alternatively, are there any good "Facebook skins" (web clients built against the FB APIs) that provide a better user experience?
People like you, who absolutely love bike commuting AND have twelve bikes... may not be their target market. Their ubiquitous bikes with virtually no locks aren't worth stealing compared to your (guessing!) $1200 commuting road bike.

Extended: Ted Nelson on What Modern Programmers Can Learn from the Past
This is a pretty disappointing article. It's really comparing a particular implementation (or maybe multiple implementations) of TCP congestion control, implemented in kernel space, with a particular implementation of QUIC congestion control, implemented in user space.

The article points out that both the QUIC and TCP implementations they tested are using CUBIC congestion control, but that's not enough information, because the article also points out that QUIC is using "more aggressive parameters." It's tough to say which parameters are better, but what's unsaid is that a TCP implementation could change their parameters and get the same congestion control results as QUIC.

The supposed poor performance of QUIC on resource-limited mobile devices is, as they point out, because it's a user space implementation that is thus more expensive. If QUIC becomes popular, I assume there will be kernel implementations that are as resource efficient as TCP. Meanwhile, it's a lot easier to to experiments (such as tuning CUBIC parameters!) when you don't have to reboot to install a new version.

It's also quite common for various TCP congestion controllers to completely fail to saturate busy links, because of various limitations. If that happens, it might be that QUIC is able to fill the empty space, thereby taking "more than its fair share" only because TCP wasn't going to use that share anyway. Since the article doesn't even say which TCP implementation it's comparing against, and doesn't say what happens when the TCP sessions are competing only amongst themselves with no QUIC present, it's hard to say what's going on.

The funny thing about all this is that, if they use the same congestion control (which seems to be the intention given that they are both using CUBIC and Google is separately trying to fix congestion control via BBR[1]), they should both be about equally fair. The performance benefits of QUIC are not even congestion control related!

[Disclaimer: I've worked with some of the people who wrote BBR and QUIC, so I'm biased.]

It's being actively discussed at the IETF. Here's a doc that's last updated 2018-01-28: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-transport/
Exactly. It's not enough to have mutual dependency. You must also have liberal democracies.
The parking spaces are meant to be used as a public good. Uber is taking this space and using it as commercial storage.

It's the same as if someone shoes up to a public beach and starts laying towels and beach chairs everywhere, and then charges people to use the beach chairs. Or if someone started using water fountains to fill up water bottles to sell at the park.

There's a pretty common notion that if you're using a public good to make money, there's some expectation of money changing hands. An expectation beyond those when things are just for personal use.
I don't know. I wouldn't say my experience has been that the bugs get fixed reasonably quickly. It's more like they make several attempts to fix the bugs reasonably quickly and then eventually figure it out.

I'm not sure their code has enough mileage to paper over their quality issues. At this point the only reason I'm not switching over is that I've written enough shims and code to paper over dockers problems that I have it somewhat stable and the switch cost is just barely high enough to make sticking with it the right choice for now. But it won't take too many more problems to make me reevaluate that decision.

Any criteria we can come up with for computers would then need to be applied to people. But how could we do that, when humans answer questions so differently? Do we ask one human?
A sample of humans? All humans?

I don't think we'll find a criteria that delineates computers' "understanding" from our own. Perhaps the regularity from a sample of computers would be an indication.

All this is to say, what makes us think that humans understand subtle jokes?
I’m on team Blame Strava. When you have an obvious comprehension failure by large numbers of users, it’s a UX design bug. Don’t blame the users.

It’s pretty clear why in this case. The privacy settings are overcomplicated and misleading. It’s not intuitive at all that turning on “enhanced privacy” still includes you in route leaderboards and the heatmap, which you might not even know is a thing. This was bad design.
If that helps killing ads and analytics, I don't care 1 second.
That's actually a misrepresentation. TCP actually works pretty well on crowded networks; a major feature of TCP is to avoid congestion collapse. It doesn't always fully saturate busy/lossy networks, which is an area for improvement, but it's not the same as congestion collapse.

TCP BBR is an attempt to fix TCP congestion control so it can saturate busy/lossy networks more reliably. That doesn't require QUIC.

I am waiting for the emergence of nano factories. Basically vertically integrated businesses like Sparkfun that can design and manufacture a very wide range of products on site, sufficient to capture the value at the exploratory front end of product design and development.
I think the problem is that currently there is no prioritizing within IP traffic and possibly this would cause TCP to suck while QUIC over UDP ran fine. This is just a guess based on how TCP congestion and sliding window work and I am very curious to see how these two interact at various percentages in the wild. If anyone knows how to simulate QUIC on Spirent or Ixia test gear please drop me a line and I will lab this up.

Here is one sad reason.

Customer controlled environment, where the only browsers are IE 11 and FF ESR, and having Chrome is considered security violation, because their IT cannot control it the same way.
Well that answers the question of why they were following the first stage and why it seemed like it still had its legs (you can see one sticking up in the tweeted photo).

Since I have to guess, I'm guessing it stayed closed up most of the way down, avoiding perhaps even grid fin erosion during high re-entry speeds. It is fun to see a company that has rockets it can expend for experiments like this because it is so far ahead of its nearest launch competitor in terms of costs.
this whole thing must be great PR for Strava. they've basically become a household name overnight.
