Allow me to propose a mechanism by which this could happen while still meaning trouble:

1. Somehow, men and women end up expressing slightly different cultures.

2. People like being around other people who are similar, because it's easier to predict them.

3. Women avoid men-dominated fields and men avoid woman-dominated fields, regardless of any other reasons or motivations.

The advantage of this model is that it explains the article without invoking any kind of predetminism. (It doesn't even matter what the gender-cultures are, only that they are different!) It also suggests a solution: figure out how to integrate male and female cultures.
Waze is great as long as there isn’t many lights or stop signs.

I enjoy using it on road trips. For commutes, I don’t get the point, but I also don’t have a long commute.

I find Google Maps too distracting as a driver. I like to know the route and it always recalculates. Apple Maps usually uses simpler routing.
I wish Waze (or others) had a "lookback report" after arriving at the destination, where they picked all users near me at the origin, filtered out those that ended up near me at the end, and grouped by different routes taken. It would take a certain user base size to get this to work. But it would be awesome to see an apples-to-apples A/B comparison of routes, and once and for all answer the question "was I a fool to take the back roads instead of the main route?"

Another feature wish for Waze: voice-activated incident reporting. It's hard to tag accidents/hazards/speed traps while driving by hand, not to mention dangerous and illegal.

After reading this article and reflecting on my own experiences and habits, my rule of thumb would be "choose the best of those with second-tier popularity." It's common that the most popular isn't the best, has advantages in numbers, but also disadvantages like low S/N ratio.

Many of the pitfalls of a scarcity are avoided, and can sometimes find a well-organized, curated, cultured pocket of enlightenment.

I am a huge fan of Wilkinson's Grammar of Graphics and Hadley's implementation of them in ggplot2. Thanks for sharing this; it helps demo the power of the grammar. Since learning GG it has made me think of plotting in an additive fashion instead of before when Excel would do most of it for me and I would often be forced to remove layers I didn't need.
Exactly this. When everyone is poor you don't have the luxury of avoiding toxic workplaces. You just take whatever high pay desk job that you can get.

People in the 1st world have the luxury of deciding not to enter an industry that treats them horribly.
You could start with two mics going into the same computer. Even a few feet of separation might be sufficient. Plug them into a mixer, one as the left channel and the other as the right channel of a stereo stream to keep their samples synchronized. Filter, then cross correlate the signals to find the phase difference/TDOA.
Me too. One of my consulting gigs back in 2012 was based on MongoDB and the system is still working well in production afaik. The use case was to store complex documents but size wasn't an issue, nor was the global table lock (it was a law firm's document management system). But over the years people's opinions seem to have changed from neutral to outright hostile when I bring up MongoDB.

Also I used mongo's map reduce framework back in the day for reporting, something that stored procedures are still lagging behind (based on my experiences in MySQL and Postgres)

Except that in this case, the belt just comes off its anchor points and doesn't slow you down at all. Just like a bridge rated for a 10,000 lbs load will collapse when a fully loaded 80,000 lbs tractor trailer drives over it.

If something is going to work, then it had to be designed and tested for it. You can't simply believe it's going to work in situations that it wasn't designed and/or tested for.

Recently switched from Android to iOS, and I haven't felt the need to install google maps. Apple Maps does everything I need it to. The navigation feels the same but I find the turn-by-turn instructions better on apple maps. I was on the bandwagon when we were making fun of apple maps for telling people to drive out into the middle of the ocean, so it seems to have come a long way since

Now there's something noticeable by its presence in a 2012 article - a Louis CK quote.

Anyway the article names various and sundry complicated and small manifestations of this phenomenon, but what's the big picture? Maybe making friends past a certain age is hard because it's unnatural and somewhat irrelevant? Maybe making friends is just another naturally- and reproductively-selected trait that helps with mating and is much less relevant otherwise. Meaning that wanting friends, results in having more friends, which means more hunting/foraging helpers and teachers of same, which makes you more likely to survive long enough to mate, and more likely to find a mate (since all your friends will have siblings etc., and the ones from outside your tribe are particularly valuable statistically/genetically speaking) and successfully pass that friendly tendency on to the next generation.

Or heck maybe wanting friends is an indirect and sublimated sexual urge in and of itself. It's not like homosexuality comes outta nowhere. And/or maybe being with one person is psychologically a surrogate or substitute for (or practice for later) being with your mate, just like owning a dog is to having children.

Anyway, once all the mating stuff is over with, maybe you're immune to it all. I don't have much to go on here, other than 1) my tendency to look to evolution and the Ape for explanations of human behavior, and 2) the fact that I noticed I lost interest in friends as soon as I found a mate I was happy with. And interestingly, being with the previous one, whom I wasn't happy with, didn't put a damper on my social tendencies at all. (But I was younger then too, so there's at least one confounding variable.)

Regardless, I suddenly notice there are large swathes of life that seem to be there only to trick you into mating. (That is, the ones that aren't there to trick you into giving someone money.)

(Some people use the one to accomplish the other.)

(And vice versa.)

But then you reach a point where you're immune to all that, and it's a relief. You can finally get on with it, whatever the "it" is in your life. We flatter ourselves that life is complicated, important and purposeful, but actually it's pretty simple and probably random. Life just wants us to mate & raise kids, and then after that, it could give a shit what we do. (As long as we keep out of the way of other people mating & raising kids, of course.) That semen/those eggs are just your genes heading for the lifeboats of a sinking ship. But that also means once you're freed from "life's plan for you," you can stop giving a shit right back, and finally do whatever you want!
It's relatively trivial to find direction of the 30 Hz sound source, given 1 million budget - you just need to place microphones 11 meters apart and raise them above buildings until you get direct line of sight to the main source.

The conflict is in part a "Two Cultures" division. Pinker's responses were little more than "look at the data", Riemen's responses were "read Nietzsche" - the two sides talk past each other.

> I don't know any well-read people who advocate returning to a pre-police society

Depends on the country! There are many police forces I hope never to meet. Its an interesting example because as good times fade and fascism rises, its precisely such an institution that becomes a source of violence and not a shield.

Riemens's argument something like: the trend of interest right now is the eternal allure of fascism that will corrupt such institutions and that Pinker's argument encourages complacency. I suspect they don't really conflict.

I think that is the percentage of website visitors who eventually become paying subscribers. Eg. 10% of visitors sign up for a trial and 20% of those trial users pay for a subscription at the end of their trial period.

I guess immigrants have it bit harder because you come from a different culture/language/race so connecting with natives is a bit hard and then you end up connecting with other immigrants.
Do you guys have any whitepapers/engineering blog posts about using MongoDB? I'd really like some engineering insights into what access patterns are used in modern MongoDB based systems.

Also, regarding ES, its easy to see how each system prioritizes things. For me if I had to design a system today I'd use MongoDB as the main OLTP database, use ES for search (with regular jobs syncing data between Mongo and ES), and use Hadoop/Spark for analytics. Mongo is decent for OLAP loads but there's no point running OLAP queries on production OLTP stores.
Yup, it's just modern astrology. A bunch of stuff that is mostly kinda true about almost everybody or things that people want to believe about themselves. A lot of it is honestly just ego stroking. "You're usually not a risk taker, except when it's important." It's embarrassing how many people fall for it.
Are you gainfully employed? The best answer might be the simplest, both to describe and execute: cultivate your career and use it to generate funds for people who help the underprivileged as a specialty. The market can put your time to better use than you can helping people directly, and plenty of important public assistance groups are starved for cash.

Start donating now. Get into the habit. Ramp up your contributions over time. You'll probably find you give a lot more than you expect you'd be comfortable with.
Every time I take a Lyft to the main Kaiser Permanente offices here in SF and the driver uses Lyft's built-in mapping (powered by Google Maps), the directions always instruct them to go past the desired street and turn into the alley behind the building. I cannot figure out why it does this, and I can't figure out how to complain about this.

I'm unsure if the native Google Maps app does this too (I uninstalled it years ago so I can't test myself).
Its the first time I read about Web Packages[1] but when you combine it with service workers it could really make sense.

Since you seem fairly knowledgeable about this subject, perhaps you could answer a related question I've been wondering: Would an effective low-cost way of measuring low frequencies (let's say ~20hz) be to use a subwoofer speaker (used as a microphone) hooked up to something that would amplify and recording of the signal? My reasoning is that they're naturally designed to work with low frequencies to begin with (more so than a typical microphone anyway). I would also reason that you could also do a frequency response test over a range of known frequencies and power levels for the specific subwoofer to begin with, and then write a specific software filter to normalize whatever you record from it to get the 'true' sound. Does that make sense?

Edit: Also, note that I mean doing hardware amplification of the electrical signal in the wire coming directly from the motion of the magnet of the speaker.
Who is the target market?

Many remote workers work remote because they are already committed to someplace.

I know somebody who works on IOKit for Apple who works remote; he started working in Cupertino and then they let him relocate. I imagine that people might want to leave places like Palo Alto and Boston when they start wanting to have kids. They would have their own amenities that they'd want. If you are young and single you might have an entirely different group of amenities you would want.

Two day Prime is not so special. The food co-op in my nearest town puts Whole Foods to shame. Gigabit fiber is nice, but 100 Mb/s cable is pretty good and much more available. I live 20 minutes from a lake and 45 minutes from a ski resort. If I did want to live in Nevada I'd probably end up near Las Vegas or Henderson.

As a kid I remember going past the area around Zug Island on a boat.

I have a distinct memory of the huge stacks billowing yellow smoke, and the twists of ductwork forming structures that look like hellish versions of the buildings from a Dr Seuss story [1][2]. It was simultaneously amazing and terrifying, and I couldn't take my eyes off it until it passed out of view.

Years later I'd learn about how poorer neighborhoods were in the shadows of and downwind of such places.

I don't know if this place is uniquely terrible or this is the invariable cost of steel production. But I imagine this sort of thing is common in the industrializing world today, where a lot of steel is produced. Is there an example of a "better" way to make steel?

We already pay subsidies for all kinds of things. Why not pay one to help the working class?

Response to below: I do think any injustice is immoral but subsidies aren't injustice. We pay lots of subsidies. I never said subsidies are immoral.

And don't confuse manufacturing with "rural America". There are lots of working class people in the cities who once found employment in manufacturing. Farm subsidies do nothing for them.

That's basically it. The idea came to me after I had become frustrated with enterprise wiki/KM software.

Hmm, perhaps it's a UK/EU difference to the US. Judges here are perfectly happy to strike clauses in contracts or terms they think unreasonable or at variance to law or custom. Agreed to or not.

Yes I would support a total ban, sounds very sensible.

I've noticed in the past that this topic—limiting anyone's right to use their phone at any time or place—gets by far the most fervent, visceral objections of any topic discussed on here. And also that the commenters' degree of rejection of phone-limitation seems inversely proportional to the quality of the comment, however you want to measure that. It seems common to feel "I should be able to use my phone whenever and wherever I want", and simply apply that to every particular situation under discussion, no thought required, coming up with all kinds of far-fetched reasons to justify it; but the gut reaction Muh phone seems the driver.

I suspect it's age dependent as cycling before 35 is unlikely to extend your life significantly, but adds risks. Some bike heavy countries don't have unusually long lifespans which IMO supports that line of thinking. With age exercise becomes increasingly important, so it probably flips at some point.

However, like a bike helmet an air filter is at most a minor inconvenience.
For some SaaS businesses although, such as dropbox & google drive, their most of their business is storage. It would be hard to blame those kinds of services to keep on billing you even if you don't look at the data most of the time.
