Five years ago I specifically added the clause that updates are free within twelve months after purchase. So the customer is kind of right to be surprised if he bought the software before that time.

On the other and, that exact same customer already ordered and paid for updates. That's one of the reasons I'm annoyed to have had that update discussion.

It's an online appointment scheduling software, btw.
The more interesting case is when you have the following:

doc1 = { 'a': {'b': {'c': ... }}}

doc2 = {}

So one has been deleted entirely and the other has modified some attribute deep down inside of it.

If you always have to check and resolve conflicts yourself, then it's not really useful.

part of my biggest sell indication was a visit to the site zerohedge. They are a very bearish - gold centric site. I like to visit sites like these to balance out the generally optimistic news one sees elsewhere. Recently, I have noticed that the site has lost their commenters - they are all making fun of the site and how it cost them so much money, missing out on all these gains. I realized that completely aside from things like inflation upticking, the fed removing some QE, market being incredibly highly valued - that if one of the largest bear sites around had actually lost their crowd, that even that rank and file thought it was stupid to doubt that the DOW would only go up...it might be time to think about taking a step back. At least until post-Brexit next year.

While part of my agrees with you that in some areas 50k/yr gets eaten up quickly we are looking at having $500 or $1000 on hand that is either 1% or 2% of annual income in savings. While I have sympathetic to a significant portion of the country ~20%-25% that cannot do that, I hard time believing 40% of Americans could not trim $500 off their expenses each year and save it.
Investor sentiment from what I've seen has been that the tax cuts pushed the next recession to around 12 months from now. So I doubt this is that crash.

> Common Lisp doesn't have a standard representation of hash tables, unfortunately.

Ah, but you mentioned objects & arrays, not hash tables grin. Agreed that hash tables would have been nice, although that does then get into issues such as canonical representations (which matter e.g. for hashing).

> Also, CL didn't clean up the Lisp space completely; right now, there are Schemes, there's Clojure, LFE, Hy, and bunch of other niche Lisps, each with their own idiosyncrasies around syntax.

It would be nice if folks who want to use Lisp would use Common Lisp rather than reïnventing various forms of more-or-less round wheel. It's a remarkably well-engineered language (not perfect, of course: argument order, upcasing, pathnames & environments all leap to mind as problematic areas), and so far as I can tell quite a bit better than any of the alternatives.

In particular, it'd be really nice to see people using Schemes for serious engineering work to use Lisp instead. It's just not well-suited to writing large systems, except by grafting on an ad-hoc, informally-specified, potentially bug-ridden subset of Lisp.

Timing belt change is not that difficult, I've done 3 or 4 of them now. I look for cars with non-interference engines so if the belt breaks, I don't destroy my valves. The belt only needs to be changed every 60 - 100k miles (depending on manufacturer). If you get a car with ~100k, you may need to change it twice before your cylinders won't hold compression any longer.

Edit: I've had my timing belt changed at shops in the past, for a Toyota Corolla it cost me 300-400 bucks.
Can the average person discover reliable facts?
TL;DR: As a lay person (non-scientist/academic), how do I find if a topic has been studied? Given knowledge of the existence of a study, how do I find that study? Given a study, how can I easily evaluate the general reliability of it?

In this age of easy-to-distribute (mis|dis|)information I search for lots of info on the web. I have to filter through the fluff pieces and hopefully find out a study exists. Fluff news pieces appear to be the only real gateway to actual studies outside of academia, which can't be good incentives for study authors. Then I must get access to the study itself, which seems to usually involve paying a surprising amount of money to various paygates that themselves have varying veneers of trustworthiness.

If I actually manage to get a study, I don't know how to establish if it has been: peer-reviewed, published in a respected journal, replicated, and/or if it has good RELEVANT p-values. I can look for obvious logical errors/omissions, but this gives more strength to the communication skill of the author(s) than in the validity of the research.

An example topic I struggled to find studies for was "people find in-person communication to be more effective than text, but (1) how much of that is comfort/familiarity and (2) how much is a false FEELING vs FACTUALLY effective?"

An example study that I don't know how to evaluate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092984/

Other topics/studies are welcome, these are just to pre-answer any "can you give an example" responses.

I don't mind proxying reliability evaluation to a third party if they are considered reliable themselves, but I've not found any general answers for that (and knowing which evaluators in a niche are reliable becomes a chicken/egg problem).

Is it realistically possible for us to have confidence in "facts" outside our areas of expertise without an intense level of effort?
I would not doubt that the build quality of the Tesla is lacking in areas that are cosmetic. Ive seen numerous Model S and Model X vehicles with atrocious panel gaps and things that people coming from the likes of Audi, BMW, MB, and Lexus would notice. That said, it doesnt seem to be affecting their safety, as there is a pretty significant amount of crash data from tesla vehicles that shows that they are among the safest vehicles in crash tests.
> > The second is that pronunciation inherently shifts over time so you must continually tinker with spelling

> Not really? Last spelling change was before WW2

I am not an expert but I've taken a class called language variation and identity, and I can tell you at least that this is a generally accepted principle of language evolution, that one of the most common ways that languages change is by shifting pronunciation over long periods of time.

There is also always a counter-example to every rule such as this one; this is not a hard science like chemistry or physics where the results will be the same every time, but the general principals are definitely reoccurring all the time in all languages.

Consonants that are difficult to say will be "elided," or omitted in colloquial pronunciations, and sometimes this will result in a spelling change. Phonemes will be "assimilated" into the other sounds that they are nearby so that the combinations are easier to say, or easier to distinguish from one another, and sometimes this will also result in a spelling change.

Or you can imagine sometimes language might change for no other reason than because a new large migrant population finds a word is confusingly similar to a swear/curse expression from their native language, and it makes them uncomfortable to pronounce it in the native way... or more predictably because the migrant population does not agree on the pronunciation of a vowel, the regional dialect may change over time to favor their native pronunciation. Or other reasons we won't have thought of, but these changes are often gradual and not noticeable by a person within their lifetime. That the last spelling change in Poland was before WW2 does not sound like strong evidence that it does not undergo the same transformations over time.

Some languages with stricter phonetic rules about how spelling of words maps directly to pronunciation may shift less. Some changes are harder to detect from written records of the language (especially vowel shifts.) Sometimes a linguistic authority will intervene, with varying degrees of success, to prevent (or instigate) a change. Even in Polish, if you go back far enough you might be surprised: this poster on Stack Exchange[1] seems to be saying that there was a big vowel shift in Polish, but it was more than 400 years ago.

Thanks for the comment! Because of the vast amount of data, we saw an opportunity to use natural language processing to better parse and understand the millions of documents that existed. This allows for faster discovery of information, more relevant data being served, and a better understanding of the text.
OTOH, stock market crashes are not uncorrelated with recessions.
That's the IntelliJ's magic (android studio is based on it), and that's also why Kotlin is feeling so great compared to other similar language that try to do the same(at least to me); being a jetbrain's made language it has perfect support by their tooling.

Smart watches are not for everyone either. I hate having things weighting down my hands or hitting tables so this would be a device I’d choose over any smartwatch.

Also I think it’s nice to have a device that is instantanous to put on and take off. You want to focus on something for 15 seconds ? just take them off. Finished focusing ? they’re back on.

Saying "Biggest Point Drop in History" is a deliberate attention-grabber and incites more fear than it probably should. We should be more concerned with percentage changes and at -4.6% this doesn't even make the top 20 daily percentage drops, which cuts off at -6.98% for number 20 (see above link).
Should not the government require manufacturers to extensively document all the parts and materials that go into a product? In this age, we should demand that products are easily (re/up/down)cycle-able, and this means third parties should be able to efficiently dismantle products.

If it complies to the spec, it's by definition valid syntax and suitable for production. Now whether or not you want that in your source code is totally up to you.

Just because you can write your whole app in one line of JavaScript doesn't mean you should maintain that as source code. You sure want that as your production bundle though.
Miata Is Always The Answer
Lisp expressions also don't have any annoying type clutter that you have to have at every node in the syntax. Like (1 "1") is just a list of two things; we don't need the word "list" anywhere.
With canonical S-expressions, unordered sets are a problem because part of the point is to be able to have a single canonical sequence of bytes, which can be hashed or compared bytewise for equality.

In general, I'd resist specifying data as arbitrary key-value pairs, but if I decided that I indeed needed them, I'd do exactly as you suggest — and I'd mandate that the be sorted lexicographically by their keys.

> economic indicators also show a very healthy economy so when the next recession hits we'll have the tools to stop it.

Will the tools be there? You basically have monetary policy limited as interest rates are already low. And fiscal policy is limited as major tax cuts are already given and the debt/deficit mean increasing spend is difficult or come with potential negative consequences.

Am I missing something?

I'm more hopeful the govt uses this window to get itself in a position to manage the next downturn vs ride the good times and then not have the tools for the bad.

It makes sense to me. One of the things you look for when kicking steps up a mountain snowfield is dirty snow. The dirt causes it to melt faster than surrounding snow, and when it refreezes it becomes a more stable surface to stand on and to kick steps into.
It's not revenge, it's revealing the truth about the market, without which the market cannot function correctly. You are asking for continuation of the lie of overvaluation, which can only continue if more people continue to pump in more money under false pretences.

I'm sorry for people who were caught by this - they've been scammed. Pretending they haven't isn't going to help in the long term but make it worse and for more people.
>The proper EAV normalised structure would have three tables

But then it's not EAV. In this case he is creating a single table to hold all of the attributes. The pros of this model are that once the business decides they also want to record which browser was used, there are no database changes required. In your case, you'd have to spin up a new table (and then another one once they want to store the time, and another where they want to store whether this is a returning customer, etc.)

I'm not suggesting EAV is the correct solution, but the model has its merits... rarely :).

> The New York University, through its venerable chancellor, Henry M. McCracken, and the University of Pennsylvania, stand as a unit committed to the elimination of the brutal tactics of the gridiron, even if it means the abolition of football as a college sport.

On one hand you have institutions that use the world "scholarship" in a prominent place in their mission statements, and on the other hand they profit from their students to hitting each other in the head often and hard. The paradox is beyond me. I'm disheartened that we have been having this debate for over 100 years.

To be fair, NYU has not had a football program since 1952.

I mean, if you read Random Walk on Wall Street, you'd think that a smart investor wouldn't try to time the market.

I don't have the stat in front of me, but it's often repeated that all of the biggest gains in the market over the past several decades have occurred on just a handful of days. If you missed those days, you missed those gains.

That is to say that if you try and outsmart the market, the odds are pretty stacked against you that you'll not buy back in at the right time (or you could be wrong about the timing of the correction in the first place.)

This isn't investment advice – usual disclaimer, etc. But, I'd definitely skim through Random Walk if you have a chance.

I wasn't a big fan of the tax cuts, even though I'll see the proceeds from them. Some think that the less you pay, the better, all the way to zero. In my view, taxes are like porridge, you don't want it too hot or too cold. The best amount is not too little or too much. I too worry about the deficit and think we need to tax the biggest gainers a bit more and provide safety nets for the economic losers so they can breath easy and participate in the economy a little more than just sustenance levels. As we've written and read about here in the past, it's expensive to to be poor (e.g. visiting the ER vs. early prevention, overdraft fees, etc). That may not be what you like to hear, but I also don't think we should tax the gainers too much either. There needs to be an incentive to to do well and I'd be against cutting into that too deeply.
Um... by reducing spending.
Please reread what I said. My comment had nothing to do with sci-hub at all- I am explicitly talking about the people who keep bringing up the "common carrier" claims whenever someone removes content they don't like.

For some reason the alt-right has been all over this claim, and they use it whenever they get censored (either on reddit or twitter), and the libertarian crowd does the same here on this website.

Also, I do want to point out something- saying that someone's argument isn't valid because they have a misunderstanding of the law is not the same thing as taking a side. I think sci-hub is awesome, but I'm not going to defend it by making stuff up.

Big Five Traits and Inclusive Generalized Prejudice
For me, when I walk through an art museum, my favorite "description" tags are one that are objective - "here's what this art is depicting (if it's not clear), here's some neat historical context, maybe here's a little bit of what the artist said about the work or how it was received."

But then there's tags (at least in MFAH) that were obviously written by someone else and are completely subjective. My favorite one to lambast is just a painting of a black square on a white background, and the description is a 400 word essay about how the work "challenges the boundaries of man" and other phrases that to me are nonsense.

I get that it's easy to pick on Modern Art but I feel sticking to the objective is still possible in that field.
