So when one of Badyaev’s undergraduate students, Clayton Addison, noticed that the male finches on campus in central Tucson were not singing a rapid trill that’s essential for attracting females in the nearby desert, the lab was able to dig into the data for answers. Comparing the beak sizes, bite forces, and diets of the two populations, the researchers showed that the urban finches rely so heavily on feeders that their beaks have adapted: they’ve become longer and deeper to accommodate the sunflower seeds typically on offer, which are much larger and harder than the small cactus and grass seeds that rural finches eat. This adaptation has altered not only how urban males sing, but also what urban females prefer in a mate. It’s a pattern that Badyaev has since found in other places where finches live in the shadow of humans, the same large beaks arising from a surprisingly diverse array of developmental pathways. Such varied routes to an identical end—a beak strong enough to crack sunflower seeds—may be one way that nature hides variability from the swinging axe of natural selection.

Evolutionary theory aside, however, I was stuck on one point: There’s such a thing as a finch Brooklyn accent—thanks to feeders like mine.

From that article: "It is notoriously difficult to properly apply: in 1961, the Supreme Court of California ruled that it was not legal malpractice for an attorney to draft a will that inadvertently violated the rule." (Emph added)

Presumably California would look less kindly on someone saying to their lawyer, "I want to lock up this money forever", and the lawyer in response saying, "Yes, I will draft your will so that the money will only ever be spent in the manner you command."
If you look at the graph in the article comparing different bubbles, Bitcoin peaked at 60 times the starting price, which is the largest relative peak in the graph. It is the largest in relative, not absolute, terms.
> what happens if you have too many jupyter notebooks? For example, there are more than a hundred.

Like anything else, Jupyter Notebook is limited by the CPU and RAM of the system hosting the Tornado server and Jupyter kernels.

At 100 notebooks (or even just one), it may be a good time to factor common routines into a packaged module with tests and documentation.

It's actually possible (though inefficient) to import code from Jupyter notebooks with ipython/ipynb (pypi:ipynb):
https://github.com/ipython/ipynb
( https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/N... )

> Actually, you start creating some modules. However, it is less convenient to work with them compared to what was before. It happens that you should code in web interface, somewhere in similar to the notepad++ form or you should change your IDLE.

The Spyder IDE has support for .ipynb notebooks converted to .py (which have the IPython prompt markers in them). Spyder can connect an interpreter prompt to a running IPython/Jupyter kennel. There's also a Spyder plugin for Jupyter Notebook:
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder-notebook

> Personally, I work in Pycharm and so far I couldn't assess remote interpreter or VCS. It is because pickle files or word2vec weighs too much (3gb+) and so I don't want to download/upload them.

Remote data access times can be made faster by increasing the space efficiency of the storage format, increasing the bandwidth of the connection, moving the data to the code, or moving the code to the data.

> Do you have better practices in your companies?

There are a number of [Reproducible] Data Science cookiecutter templates which have a directory for notebooks, module packaging, and Sphinx docs: https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html#da...

>Because of the value of his stock. NOT income from sales! Amazon does not have extra money from sales to raise wages with. Their retail business runs at a loss actually. Raising wages would make things even worse.

The value of the stock is supposed to be a reflection of the value of the company. If their retail business is worthwhile even if running at a loss, than they could run at a larger loss with the only downside being the company's value dropping.

>You actually want to help them? Figure out how to give them more education. Complaining that Amazon is helping them, but "not enough" is worthless.

Better education takes more tax money, something Amazon has spent their entire history trying to avoid paying. And how many of them need better education before the necessary jobs at the warehouses get better conditions?

However, if this indeed becomes a problem. Propaganda from bad state actors, for example. The real solution is exhaustive "reverse" video and image search. Given the output, determine which patches were sampled by the generator. A perfectly reversible process ;)

Think of it similar as "Amazon Cloud", which really consists of over 100 different type of services/products, some of them very different, and build by different teams, but the "Amazon Cloud" is more of an umbrella.
The underlying blink engine on Android is basically a shared app library. It's updated as often as Chrome is via automatic updates from the Play Store. It gets updated even on phones running older versions of Android or Android versions the OEM isn't updating in a timely manner.

"Sure. No problem. They'll just have no job. And you can continue to believe that."

Ahh yes, the old, "You must lick the boots of your corporate masters for seeing to bless you with a few crumbs!" argument. It has never, ever held water.

"Amazon does not have extra money from sales to raise wages with."

That is a complete and utter lie.

"Their retail business runs at a loss actually. Raising wages would make things even worse."

The business as a whole, which is built on top of the retail business, is quite profitable. Them deciding to run retail at a loss does not change things.

Yes, it is.

We got our first 5 customers with cold emailing. It is all a numbers game with some A-B testing in my opinion. It can be very time consuming if you do not do it right, but if you do, it can work great. Granted, any "cold" sales method is going to bring in some un-qualified prospects but when you are just starting that can be a plenty fine strategy. I would suggest trying a few variations of the email, using a tool such as QuickMail (which allows you to import lists and schedule and do A-B), and making sure to send during the right times, for us that was Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for our prospects. Also, I would consider using Upwork to find a contractor to help with this process, we found a girl that collected lead emails for $4/hr. Hope this helps.
Why do you feel these workers are not entitled to basic human dignity and respect?

I do share the excitement, but that's exactly why I found this video rather uninspiring. It doesn't say a thing about how Fuchsia is new or interesting. It just goes through a bunch of extremely unfinished screens in consumer product review style. Nothing much to see really.

I found it interesting to browse some of the source code to get an idea of the roles that different language runtimes seem to play. But much more than that I would be interested in the driver model, the graphics stack, the IPC facilities and how it all differs from Linux/Android.
Some rudimentary googling, MIT campus is 168 acres or .26 sq miles. So the 810 sq miles in 3 years is still pretty impressive.

ncurses-base and ncurses-bin are marked "Essential" in Debian (from which Ubuntu derives, and automatically imports packages), which means that any package is permitted to depend on things in those packages without declaring a dependency - including in pre-installation scripts. This image is defined as being large enough that any package in the Ubuntu archive can be correctly installed.

You could eliminate this by going through and finding all packages with implicit dependencies on ncurses-bin / ncurses-base, but that seems highly unreliable, and also a huge amount of pain, since Debian probably will not want to drop these packages from Essential (so you will end up maintaining a huge Ubuntu diff).

I could also imagine a scheme where packages in Ubuntu main are scrubbed for these sorts of implicit dependencies, but packages in Ubuntu universe (which is where auto-imports from Debian go) aren't, and apt-get automatically pulls in all Debian "Essential" packages as soon as you try to install something outside main. But that's a good bit of dev work and it's not clear that you'd get a meaningful payoff.

(update-motd.d is from base-files, which is also an essential package, and is actually important; again, possibly Ubuntu could carry a patch to split up base-files, but for < 1kb of text files, it's unclear this is worth doing)
I wouldn't be surprised if Ubuntu started a project similar to Redhat Atomic (and now CoreOS/ContainerOS).

On GKE, one advantage of using Ubuntu as the node OS is you can get access to Sysdig or OpenEBS.

>Health Care is not market since there is hardly any market opaqueness. You simply don't know how much anything costs in health care, its all a big mystery until you get your bill. Health providers are out to make sure you never know how much something costs until it is time to pay for it.

Define "how much something costs?" I can pull up the spec sheet from my insurance company and tell you the in network price and out of network price for just about anything. The crappy system we have now sets the price between you and the insurance company. It's not that the providers don't want you to know how much something costs, they don't know how much it costs.

Conversely, I can go into the local urgent care here, a place that caters to many uninsured. The prices for their services are literally posted on the wall, not unlike the menu at a fast food restaurant. You know exactly how much an x-ray costs, or a cold/flu visit, or a cast, etc. When people are paying for these services with their own money and the prices aren't the result of some individualized, convoluted pay schedule with your insurance provider, then the prices suddenly become extremely transparent.

>and completely ignores what insurance is in the first place.

Insurance is there to help you out in the event of a disaster, not to pay your ongoing day to day costs. So let's make sure we're really talking about insurance.

>If you gave them cash and said this is your medicare, they would take it and spend it on everything but medical care. In the end, they would get sick and die or be crippled or worse,

That is historically incorrect. Yes, people may choose to spend less on healthcare than you would like them to, but why do you feel the need to be so authoritarian about your opinion on what's best for them?

>then leave everyone else with the bill.

Only if people like you force it on us.

>We know prices would never drop to the floor because that is the system we have in place now and prices keep going up.

As was pointed out by another poster the prices for elective surgeries like LASIK which are not covered by health insurance are going down over time. It's funny to me that you have no problem accepting that some people would take their Medicare money and blow it on something else, but you think that healthcare providers would not do anything to try to convince those people to spend their dollars with them.
> Health Care is not market since there is hardly any market opaqueness.

"Market" means "crowd sourced pricing". The alternative is a person or a small group of people setting prices, controlling access, setting standards, etc. Once you think that's a better idea, you are responsible for further clarifying how those people will be held accountable for their decisions.

I don't see a non-market proposal that is honest about the concentration of power and actually tackles the problem of accountability. I don't want a national medical code mess growing alongside our tax code. I don't want new and exciting fields of healthcare law and lobbying opening up. I don't want (pick: Donald Trump or Barak Obama) being the national Hospital-Administrator-in-Chief.
Why Elven?
Yes, it's that last scenario that I particularly have in mind. PMs are typically led to believe that they should acquire some technical understanding and furthermore that they will be better respected if they do. This leads, as you say, to poorly designed solutions.

If you don't pay taxes on that $1.5M, your living expenses (in jail) could also be quite low... but you won't magically end up with all the money. With half the money gone to taxes living on $30k/yr (non-inflation adjusted) doesn't sound so fun.

Was Robin Hood righteous? One could see similarities in their tales. Robbing the rich (shareholders, corporations, “elites”) to give to the “poor” (lower classes, themselves). Just at a higher abstraction.

It is what it is, and those forums are growing at an exponential rate as the punishments disappear. Worrying.
> When were baby boomers set to retire again?

they've been retiring for years. 1945 births are 73 now, well into retirement age. boomers will start retiring over the span of 2007 to 2034, depending on when they were born and the age they choose to retire at. they'll then be drawing down their retirement funds for decades.

are you trying to suggest that this ongoing multidecadal process will constitute a large "withdrawl event"?
Most users would allow the browser to auto update, just like they do with desktop Chrome and with browsers distributed through the Play Store on Android.

Since browser updates don't require rebooting the entire system, they happen much more frequently on these other platforms. In the Android case, since the application model requires the app developer to recover gracefully from the system killing the application without warning, software updates happen with minimal distraction, even if the user is actively using the app being updated.
The essential part:

The valley’s high cost of housing has contributed to a drop in student enrollment. As families with young children flee to more affordable areas, Oak Grove has lost more than 200 students annually for the past four years. That’s projected to cost the district $2.3 million this year.

That logic is garbage. We should ban cigarettes? Smoking marijuana should not be legalized (risk factor for lung cancer)? Why not alcohol too? Where else can we stretch that?

That is his opinion, and even if it were factually true it doesnt give him the entitlement to prevent other people from doing it. If he believes the SEC provides value he can go to SEC regulated places, and let the ones that don't just be.

Today, the SEC regulates the startups right here, depressing wages of workers, reducing founder's returns, increasing investor returns and reducing overall market size. That is an economical fact. The steam of that oppression is coming out in crypto, where millions of people worldwide have a chance to 'invest' or speculate in something they are otherwise barred from doing. Barred by institutions like the SEC.

Crypto in spirit and technology is a way to get around those involuntary and foreign restrictions.
