Notability is problematic in a lot of ways. In principle, just about anything is notable if you get local enough with respect to either geography or subject matter. You also have the irony of an online encyclopedia that's more inclined to value more traditional types of references (books, printed articles) even if they're hard to track down.

And, as you say, no original research pretty much guarantees that if something hasn't been documented somewhere credible, at least online, it tends to get excluded.

That said, the system works reasonably a fair bit of the time. I'm not even sure that the biggest issues are the result of Wikipedia policies. It's more that no system of this type works well when there's controversy and that even articles that were originally written well tend to accumulate random additions, factoids, and changes that degrade them over time.

People have tried alternatives to address perceived Wikipedia shortcomings. Google Knol was one such example that didn't work out. [1]

And that makes it a different present for each and everyone/everything.

I’ve never thought about it in quite that way before, but yes I suppose so. Each hypothetical observer is going to experience different slices of “present” in something like Block Universe conjecture.
In fairness, that was written in 2006 when people browsing the internet on their dumbphones generally got served entirely different web pages. And you could fix it with media queries. But the fact that it needed hacky stuff like arbitrarily large positive padding and negative margin values to achieve a "holy grail" of the standard way websites had been laid out using tables for the previous decade or so didn't reflect very well on CSS spec drafters or the browser vendors of the time.
I think that the "beauty" (if you want to call it that) of COBOL was mostly in how it did, for the most part, exactly what you told it to do and rarely surprised you with unintended consequences (I mean, don't get me wrong, it still did, but not like C or Java or Javascript do). The problem was that you gave up a lot of expressiveness for this; when I was working in COBOL, I'd find myself cutting and pasting the same snippet of code in dozens of places with minor modifications - the language just didn't allow enough dynamism to permit decent code reuse. So in exchange for making it harder to accidentally shoot yourself in the foot, you'd end up with a codebase that needed dozens of code changes, far distributed from each other, to make functional updates - and hope that you didn't forget to update one of the cases.
One potential problem with dependency resolution that focuses solely on minimal or maximal-bound resolution is that it usually ignores the untested version combination problems.

That is, a given version that satisfies a version bound may not have necessarily been tested with all of the different combinations of versions of components it is used with. It will be interesting to see how minimal version selection interacts with that particular challenge. For a build system it may matter much less than an operating system.
Indeed Atmos clocks do have a speed adjustment, though they are very sensitive. I'd contact a professional since any repairs to them get expensive very fast.
But you would still see the network call to placehold.it/ if it actually worked.

From the Wikipedia link: "Trichothecenes are a very large family of chemically related mycotoxins produced by various species of Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, ..."

Wikipedia says that Fumosins also come from Fusarium, so it looks like one particular group of mycotoxins is reduced.

Granted, Fusarium is a problem in gardens all over, (Fusarium Wilt will kill almost any food plant), but still, if all we're doing is sort-of beating one particular plant ailment it might be worth a cost-benefit analysis, externalizing as little as possible.
Ok, I see, thanks for looking it up. That's interesting but seems unrelated to the point of the research and of the Lewis retelling.
I bike to work everyday and I don't follow the rules of the road, and neither should other cyclists.

In a system designed for cars, it's just false piety and won't keep you any safer.

The one rule I do follow is that I am courteous and polite to everyone, drivers and pedestrians alike, and I remain hyper alert to everything that is going on around me.

That's the only rule you need.
the whole point of capitalism is to align incentives s.t. when businesses act selfishly to "win" in the markets, they are producing real returns to the economy
It sounds like that is essentially the same thing, yes. It still won't be as good as org-mode, though. With org, when you enter some Python code you press a key and you're editing that block with the best editor for Python (emacs) and when you edit bash code you're using the best editor for bash (emacs). With this, you have to use the same basic editor for everything.
It's hugely helpful in the consulting world. We use it all the time for proof-of-concept type work -- it's much easier to present a notebook to a CTO than a bunch of scripts.

Pretty much what I wanted, plus fitness tracking.

I love the timeline, showing my calendar appointments, seeing notifications(and being able to use some of the Android notification commands on them), fitness tracking, but most important of all, battery life, I love not having to recharge my Pebble every day.

I liked the idea of Nokia Steel HR for instance, but there's little screen real estate for a smartwatch to show me notifications and appointments in a proper way.
I'm one of the founders (82 Labs, Inc.) who attended the Academy.

Not really, it's pretty unorthodox to look for genetic sequences as evidence of infection. Typically you look for antibodies, as the virus may not be circulating, or is simply not where you are sampling.
I've enjoyed his prose for exactly these reasons, though he's not a favorite author or anything.

If you're a film buff, you can thank him for Quentin Tarantino + Joel & Ethan Coen.

If his story-telling philosophy sounds appealing, check out Justified. It's a TV show loosely based on some of his characters, but it's written like a love letter to his work. It finished just after his death, and was refreshing to watch right around when the concept of "prestige" TV started to collapse into itself / constant navel gazing trying to be the next Breaking Bad. There's a lot to take in about modern Appalachia (it takes place in rural Kentucky), but there's no heavy-handed metaphors. It's not trying to be a Greek tragedy or a Dickens novel, just razor-sharp dialog and fun action that somehow adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
Sure I can agree with that. OP's comment seemed pretty out of place though, almost like a google-whataboutism. What about Facebook? Well, yeah, if that is the kind of counterargument, then we can ask "What about...?" a million different things. It doesn't take away from what the article is about.

No, they won't. There's people who don't even know that there's something else than GMail. They can't do one click and be at a competitor's site, if they don't know about it. And it doesn't help that their only way of finding out about competitors is through google.com.

Sometimes I wonder how much their impact is overblown though. It seems like it's a very loud presence in people's lives, and a lot of very loud people on it who think they are making some kind of impact. When is the last time you were swayed by lefty or righty radical? I'm not even convinced it really pushes people further down an idealogy. But then again I'm genX. I just don't take tweets that seriously, even when they come from Trump or Obama.
I missed this giant takeaway:
mental illness:
1."Researchers were shocked to find that the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse in the Dunedin birth cohort was more than twice the rate the mental health community predicted. The reason, Dunedin researchers discovered, was a chronic underreporting of these problems by subjects long after their struggles occurred, in the way most previous studies had been conducted.:

2. "method of cognitive testing and digital imaging of the brain through the retina. Using this “non-invasive window to the brain” to identify at-risk children for targeted treatment might decrease a child’s risk of debilitating mental illness later in life."
I love this about Slack. It puts me into a different mindset. I'm less defensive and therefore more creative, productive, and happy. Most other services put me on a constant lookout. How are they going to "get me"?
Prolog has definite clause grammars (DCGs), which are very similar to monads.

You can think of a DCG as giving you two implicit arguments, which you can use to express concatenations and in fact arbitrary relations between states.

There are also ways to access these implicit arguments, which are similar to the corresponding constructs in Haskell.

DCGs are a very important feature of Prolog. They are frequently used for parsing and state transformation tasks. Like monads in Haskell, DCGs often make working with immutable data much more convenient, because you can make the more uninteresting parts of your code implicit.
Other logic programming languages like Mercury also support DCGs.

"instantaneous" => it is faster for me to send a payment via venmo, than waiting 24h on a congested bitcoin network.
"currency" => I thought Bitcoin at this point is done as a currency. Merchants have dropped it, payment processors (Stripe) have let it go. The next best use case is "store of value", but even there, with a volatility of +/- 50% in 60 days, I doubt that.
At the moment I'm leaving myself open to any good oportuity that comes along. I have a feeling B2B would be easier however this is only based on my assumptions.

I'll not be in the position of getting anywhere near those figures you shoot for and considering this will be my first, I'm keeping my feet firmly on the ground. I've just spent all my career to date (15 years +) building products for other people that I feel I know enough to do my own. Again, it all comes down to finding that need. This is where physical networking and schmoozing pay off, sadly not my forte!
>>The Industrial Revolution put farmers out of work, but not because farming became illegal

>Not completely true, see the Inclosure Acts

I don't think that's disputing the parent's point. Seizing land isn't "banning farming" any more than repoing my car is "banning driving".

To respond to the general point: if yeoman farming were actually more productive per unit input, then even enclosure wouldn't be enough to stamp it out. Displaced farmers would still have been able to buy back the original land and continue: the new owners would see the offer price as being better than the capitalized returns they could make, and some bank would have seen the business plan and interest payments as being enough to merit a loan.
Nice idea, but... Do you realise that if you do succeed, sooner or later your customers' health data will be owned by some big corp like Google and very likely misused/abused?

Do you have any plans about protecting them?
Why does that make it infuriating? Calorie counting is still considered the true way to lose weight by most people, despite the fact that it works for almost nobody. This article will convince a few more people that a healthy diet is more important than explicitly counting calories.

It also found an interesting result - both low fat and low carb diets seem to work, regardless of your insulin response.

>I found it by doing a mistype (like it often happens in vim)

Ha, I probably found it by some similar way, maybe in vim or maybe in DOS / Windows / Linux at the command prompt or in some curses or terminal application.
The Internet, and social media in general, is just a trolls playground. Why do I care about a few dozen trolls in particular? Spending a few hundred thousand dollars promoting stories into news feeds. This is like worrying about my camp fire contributing to global warming.

I can understand the desire to want to blame some great evil force for corrupting democracy, when it’s so much harder to look in the mirror. Personally I think the overall vitriol against Trump is the single biggest reason he won. Telling someone they’re a shitstain for their political beliefs is the surest-fire way to get them out to vote against you.
In the Netherlands, a significant part of the population uses bikes. I lived in Groningen, where a large chunk of the students and people who work in the city travel by by bike. I lived there for many years, and the only problem I ever had was bicycle parking.

Never had an accident (well, except the one time I tried to drive from a road onto a pavement with an angle of attach of 10 degrees, which resulted in some scratches ;)). I can't recall any of my friend having a serious accident.
I can't wait.

Cygwin. Yea, it's mostly just a collection of other free tools, but most of us in corporate America still find ourselves using Windows, and Cygwin is the only thing that makes the Windows command prompt bearable.
how about getting a real job and letting your kids live the way most of the kids do.

every sentence you've written is wrong in every aspect, but grammar. sure, you are very sucessfull and independent, so fucking what?

i feel bad for your kids, but wish you all the best, also to your ex-wife/husband, because looking by the way you think about yourself, they had a lot of trouble ;-(

i think in the entire life of my father, summed up, he has never been that prepotent and i'm doing just fine. but i can imagine then what kind of person would i become if he was homeschooling and he would speak that way to me.

maybe take the advantage you've made urself a favour and created a throwaway and rethink your life. you have/had a wife/husband and 3 kids, maybe the problem could also be you and you could work that out and then let the kids have 2 parents(which is very important, 1 is doable also, but not something kids desire or would do them any good).

dunno, maybe go to a psychologist and this doesn't look like something internet people(mostly young that live in sillicon valley) can help. this looks serious and i sincerly wish you the best, just trying to help you. i hope you understand.

wish you the best. you can probably find the job if you dig for it, just do it... but hmm, i would think about everything you wrote there that isn't about the job, like the divorce, like your kids and so on.

hope the reality check was any useful, feel free to send me an e-mail, but as i've said before, a psychologist can help better
I dunno, not being able to reason about performance is a pretty big deal. I've only ever fantasized about learning haskell, but I can tell you that this quality is what makes sql (or god forbid an ORM) a pain to deal with in production. The explain plan for a given sql query can change on you for no reason other than your table has grown. You can go from using an index for speedy queries to a full table scan because your sql engine decided to no longer use any of your indexes.

I don't know what the equivalent cases might be for a more general purpose language, but I strongly suspect it's a problem all declarative languages suffer from.
We are launching that feature through our genetics option in our metabolic assessment as of recent. What we are having more people do is get a blood panel done before and after our product. Please contact us at support@mynutrigene.com to discuss more about it as a service.

This is horrible advice.

I work in a lot of languages (including Go), which gives me some perspective. On the extreme ends of this issue we have Maven, which specifies hard version numbers (fuzzing is possible but culturally taboo) and NPM, which only recently acquired the ability to lock version numbers and still has a strong culture of "always grab latest".

The Maven approach is unquestionably superior; code always builds every time. If you walk away from an NPM build for nine months, the chance that it will build (let alone work as before) is vanishingly small. I waste stupid amounts of time fighting with upstream dependencies rather than delivering business value.

People break library interfaces, that's just a fact of life. The only question is whether they will break your code when you explicitly decide to bump a version, or when randomly when someone (possibly not even you) makes changes to other parts of the system.

I cycle commute in London every day and you don't need dedicated cycling infrastructure. It's great to use if it's there but otherwise you make do. Rather than trying to take the most direct route, I cut through small laneways and alleys and ride through a couple of parks. Get on a bike and start exploring. There's nothing more soul crushing than London's public transport during peak hour.

All of it? No.

The entire holistic method? Definitely not.

Bits and pieces of Chinese medicine have been appropriated by Western medicine in piecemeal ways that often miss the point. There are large universities to teach this stuff. To believe that Western medicine has studied and adopted all that works is colonial arrogance.
But it just delays the problem and introduces new ones...

Interesting, I think PS have at least a few long courses. I'm sure I've seen a few in the 10 hour region. It's been a while since I browsed about looking for something interesting though.

I'm thinking I could do 10 hours as an hour or two a day over a few weeks. I need to decide if it's the tooling holding me back or the MVP. Easy to focus on technology, pitting this against that when really, anything up and working is key!

None of what you're saying is a logical argument against any part of my comment.

I showed how this comment "The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election." doesn't say anything about the extent Russia was interfering before the election. The only thing that statement supports is that they were interfering even more after the election.

You never refuted that.

>People discredit the vote of half of the US people in the belief they were partially fooled by Russia, and if that is not true

Again a completely invalid counter argument. I said that it likely is true. A valid counterargument would involve "no it's not true because...", not "if it's not true then I'm right".
I can imagine this driving providers to work around that, structuring their service such that they can argue the user is still engaging with the service passively. For example, having data stored on their servers is use (as I may later want to use it, and incurs them a cost to store it). Or, perhaps being emailed updates about my credit score could be regarded as engagement as they can't necessarily tell whether I am reading their emails.
Early in 2008, on principle, we switched from a 'Too Big To Fail' bank to a credit union. It was a pain, and is occasionally inconvenient, but that pain is outweighed by the satisfaction in reading the headlines and being glad I'm not funding them anymore.
Yeah, I think you addressed your own concern there. Why would a consumer who doesn't know how to export mail need something better than Gmail? I'm a power user, and I don't need anything but Gmail, so I can't fathom that there's some unserved email opportunity that consumers would love fulfilled if only they knew about Gmail competitors.
Unfortunately, AI and robotics are only available to those with great capital and knowledge on how to apply those technologies; and I don't really see that changing any time soon.

I wouldn't be so dismissive about this. It doesn't really matter what bucket this security issue falls under. It also doesn't change much whether it's "idiotic" or not.

The fact remains that the coding practices on a website used by about a billion people open up for part 1 of this vulnerability (these CSS styles on Instagram do load external resources as you type), and there are plenty of ways for part 2 (inject the CSS) to occur on many less well maintained sites.
Eating is naturally regulated by appetite. That's why appetite and satiation exist. It's difficult to be obese when you eat only unprocessed foods. If you don't believe me, try it out. You might be surprised.
