NYC bike commuting is great. In manhattan, the west side and central park paths are the best - I could do 90% of my commute on them and basically avoided cars except for the side streets. I commuted 5 miles and would often beat the subway time-wise. It's a great way to wake up too, you start the day off feeling good
I heard Bitcoin described as "an environmentally unfriendly way to hate the government". I think that about sums it up.

There is a difference between “speaking against globalizarion” and increasing jobs in America. How do you propose we decrease globalization? Impose tariffs, cause a trade war, and increase prices for everyone?

There is a company called Softwear trying to brIng clothe manufacturing back to the US. But they plan to automate everything and hire a very few engineers. How does that help the “working class”?

The ship on globalization has sailed. Republicans use to believe in the free market that was back when manufacturing jobs were strong. But now that the “working class in middle America” is hurting, they like “big government” interfering with the free market. and more regulation because it helps them.

A real-world example of this technique shows up in ColorDMD, an LCD to replace DMD displays used in pinball machines from the early 90's until just recently. Most of the displays were 128x32 with 4 (and later 16) brightness levels.

ColorDMD first had artists create color overlays for the images and animations, and then emulated the display with colored dots instead of the red/orange color from the original DMD.

A later firmware release included upscaling, with some impressive results. This thread on Pinside (a pinball discussion site) shows some examples from the game "The Simpsons Pinball Party". I've linked directly to a comment that shows an original rendered DMD frame along with colorized versions with and without upscaling.

The government should not be allowed to just declare the money was obtained illegally and seize it without due process, never to be returned. That's the Canadian equivalent of civil asset forfeiture. I don't know Canadian law, but it seems they are falling into the same morality pit that the US has been engaging in. Yes, I realize that these people are guilty.

Actually, it depends.

Just last week, I learned that it is perfectly legal to jaywalk in Germany, IF it does not interrupt flowing traffic or endanger anyone. Also, you must take the shortest path (orthogonal to the lanes) when crossing a road. (§25 Abs. 3 StVO)

I jaywalk all the time. It's just ridiculous to wait at a red light when the street is completely empty.

We should disambiguate the term "jupyter notebook" here. Jupyter notebooks, as documents that contain code, markdown, math, widgets, etc., are a central feature of JupyterLab. Jupyter notebooks are not going away, and are getting better in JupyterLab.

That's completely not the case much of the time. Frequently, non-US-citizen remote people are hired as contractors rather than permenant employees. Otherwise, it gets ridiculous -- I hire a Serbian guy and a Ukrainian guy and a French guy -- that would, under your scenario, require 3 different subsidiaries and all of the bureaucratic nonsense that would entail -- opening a French subsidiary, for exsample would be next to hell in terms of trouble -- especially for an American company with no physical presence in the country. No way. Most companies would never do it that way.

The best and easiest way is to simply hire the "employee" as a consultant/contractor -- then that person can handle taxes/etc however they need to. For example, what if you're a Serbian citizen working remotely from Thailand for a US company while getting paid into an EU bank account?

It gets ridiculous in a hurry -- unless you're paying remote overseas employees as independent contractors.

This reminds of an article from a few months ago:

>Ten years in, nobody has come up with a use for blockchain

https://hackernoon.com/ten-years-in-nobody-has-come-up-with-...

Blockchain technology seems to be the ultimate case of a solution in search of a problem. I'm sure there are some niches where it maybe useful, but the hype around it is so absurd it borders on the religious. How often do you see comments here, for example, professing faith in its glorious, inevitable future? It's sometimes like talking to a fervent Christian about the Kingdom of Heaven that will come when Jesus returns.
Be honest. How much of the article did you read before commenting?
I know from a long career in the custom car field that this is an amazing milestone for a new US based automotive manufacturer.

The "DeLorean" was far behind this when they folded and that attempt got further than any before since the 1930s, and they weren't really a US manufacturer.

The "Tucker" didn't come anywhere near the Telsa, and that's probably right behind the DeLorean on the timeline.

And even more important is how they are doing it. They're not just building a new car, they're using an entirely different kind of powertrain and drivetrain. This too has been tried before, but again no startup has ever made it this far or advanced the tech used so dramatically.

I don't build custom cars anymore but I know what it takes from concept to production and I'm not just impressed with what they've done, I am astonished with how much they've done.

At this point, no matter what happens to Tesla, they have changed the industry forever.

IMO one reason Pebble failed was that the writing was on the wall once the Apple Watch launched: if you're not in the ecosystem, you're going to be weak by comparison. Case in point, a Pebble watch can receive notifications on an iOS device, but can't act on them. It has a microphone, but can't use Siri. As Apple expands the watch platform and doesn't let Pebble in, they become less and less competitive. The picture is much better on Android given its open nature - even after the death of Pebble you can use Gadgetbridge to keep going. But you can see how Pebble became something that investors looked at warily - they weren't in control of their destiny.

It's a huge shame. IMO, the Pebble Time Round[1] is still the best looking smartwatch created by anyone so far. And it has a longer battery life than the Apple Watch and (most?) Android watches.

That’s not what I asked. Can you find studies where equally qualified white men were denied opportunities, controlling for all other variables suffered harm because of their color or gender? I can post studies where the opposite has happened in housing, hiring, and the criminal justice system.
This’ll sound vain - because it mostly is - but some folks really care about their hair and may have it in an aesthetic construct that helmet-wearing will obliterate.

For those folks, wearing a helmet is anathema.

Personally I recommend simply not riding in this situation, because helmets save lives. But I’m not everybody.
Really, Price is the only thing you can compare.

If you want complete luxury: S-Class, A7/A8, or 7-Series are going to be decidedly better in every way, at a similar price bracket. To be honest, Tesla doesn't even compete in this category.

If you want the status symbol: Maybe Tesla is the best. You'd also probably be cross-shopping a Panamera or maybe an XJ.

If you want performance: The best will be an E63S, RS5 (kind of a different category), or M5. A P100D is stupidly fast off the line, but most enthusiasts don't put it in the same class as high-end german performance cars due to driving dynamics and the price. It gets an honorable mention.

If you want tech: Tesla, Audi, or the Cadillac CT6. Tesla wins on automated driving, but Cadillac isn't far behind at all. Audi has some of that, but their interior tech is easily on-par with Tesla when you option it out.

If you want all of them: You'll need to go upmarket. The RS7 would qualify, especially the refreshed 2019 model, but really you'll have to enter "optioned out Porsche" territory ($150k+) and even then you'll make sacrifices in the tech department.

There are a few generalities you can make, though: First, BMW isn't as competitive as they used to be. MB and Audi have recently started outpacing them in most categories. Second, Tesla definitely isn't competitive at its price bracket without tax incentives, unless all you care about is how other people perceive you, which can't really be quantified like the other categories.

There are a few different types of paths - some main avenues have separated, dedicated paths - meaning a row of parked cars separates you from the traffic. There are also dedicated paths on the west side and central park. The bridges are also dedicated paths. You will likely need to spend some time on the "fake" paths to use them, but accessibility to the dedicated paths is pretty good and due to the layout of the manhattan (narrow) - if you're traveling north/south, you can probably spend the majority of your commute on the dedicated ones.
Spoiler: it's not.
This would pretty much be disastrous in the US because so much if the identities are based around a heroes journey. Unlike many Asian countries that more easily accept socialist narratives, the fundamental driving force in the US is that we are NOT equal and NOT the same.

It is about equal opportunity and a certain type of freedom yes. But all this is to serve the purpose of individuals proving to the world, others, and themselves that they are better and so deserve more.

The pursuit of happiness is the freedom to be better. And better cannot exist when all is equal. Heroes require villains. Light creates dark.

The self actualization narrative then is too tightly bound to the domination narrative. And domination always requires domination of humans. Attempts to humanize it by dominating instead some aspect of the world fail because we can do easily dehumanize others.

It's not that this narrative is good or bad, it just is. And it is also losing resonance with the wider world. It only works when the self-actualized has some sort of moral high ground or other advantage.

The taxes described here attack the resulting pattern of a run amock narrative but don't actually weaken it. It may actually strengthen it as it provokes a reflex response.

Blockchain tech is more than just Bitcoin.

To ignore that at this stage in the game makes me think the author is a trader looking at the tech from an investment perspective.
The author should consider replacing "blockchain" with "Bitcoin" in their title. They spend the entire time talking about Bitcoin and do not make mention of any of the (many) alt coins that are attempting to solve various subsets of the problems they present.

None of their criticisms of Bitcoin are novel.

I also lived in the South Bay and found ZipCar and/or renting a car for day, weekend and even week long trips worked fine (which one is cheaper depends on your age and whether you can get a discount through your employer or whatever). There was enough "Neighborhood" rental places around to be easily accessible by bike. A weekend was on the order of $60-180, and so even doing this every weekend only adds up to $3k-9k per year.

You can use devdocs.io for MDN searches. It just parses and scrapes MDN among many other authoritative doc sites into an easy, searchable reference manual

I'd actually prefer the 3rd party searches on google over duckduckgos, because I could easily refine the search on google by appending "MDN" in search and get the result. Not only that, I know I can find the MDN and W3C doc easily, so I want to broaden my search horizon normally when doing a google search anyhow

DDG doesn't give you as much of an oppurtunity to see the 3rd party sites though, so its more limited

Finally, biased searches. I actually prefer biased searches the vast majority of time, partially because I'm too lazy to bookmark sites I visit a lot. If I wanted an unbiased search result DDG is my go to tool
Story time: In early 2012, the startup I was working for, Thumbtack, had struggled for 6-8 months to raise a Series A but finally got to the finish line. Around the same time, Justin Kan co-founded a company called Exec, and within a few months raised a "party round" that was nearly as much as our Series A, with a valuation twice as high. Our company was years old and had serious traction, Kan's company had done essentially nothing. At the time it was a quite upsetting turn of events.

But there was a valuable lesson... How Justin Kan fundraises is irrelevant for you and me, because we aren't Justin Kan. There was no rational basis for Exec to have been worth so much at that time, but when you are Justin Kan that isn't relevant. And look, good for the Justin Kans of the world who can take advantage of that, but that doesn't mean it is helpful advice for the rest of us.

I can say from experience that going into VC meetings with a bunch of false bravado, hoping to "hold the tension" and out-negotiate the VCs is mostly irrelevant advice. By far the most important thing for the average founder is getting the VCs to look up from their phones and care or be interested in your pitch, which isn't going to happen unless you've created the right fundraising dynamic for your company.

One of my favorite Paul Graham essays of all time, "How To Raise Money" [1], fully captures what my experience was in the fundraising realm, both when it went well and when it went poorly. I'd point you there for more practical advice.

Sure, but just because I cite a study doesn't mean that the conclusions I make are valid. You seem to be saying that because Damore has citations in his memo it is ironclad (or perhaps you think that people who disagree with it disagree with every word of it).

Neither of those things are the case. There are subsections of the memo that are both objectionable and unscientific. That he has some things that are science-y does not make the entire document wholly unobjectionable.
Same thing. I think the information Google has about me ends up leading to better search results. I want DDG to work, but the results are never as good.
I agree on these reservations, especially in terms of silent errors (which get compounded through minor ways in which backwards incompatibility can sneak in to the existing scripts) and dependencies.

As a half-solution, I ended up restricting myself to a very few libraries in this family (mainly dplyr, lubridate, stringr, broom) and to using packrat to consistently freeze the library versions for these.

This is exactly the kind of false sense of intellectual superiority to avoid. Mathematicians and category theorists don't talk like this. Even the parts of Haskell that have the flavor of category theory aren't really all that much like category theory.

I think regurgitation of math formulas is a terrible way to hire for most data science positions. I've seen a breakdown of data scientists into two categories:

1) People who are great at the mathematics behind the statistical tooling

2) People who are great at conceptualizing a relevant question, operationalizing it, and then using a computer to apply appropriate models.

I think in most cases, for businesses needing to solve business problems, the latter kind is probably more useful. There are applications where the former is required, but you probably know if you need this kind of data scientist.

I should also add that these traits aren't mutually exclusive, but that individual data scientists typically are stronger or weaker along approximately those axes.

In general, I still dislike the term "data science" because it obfuscates meaningful distinctions between math nerds, computer science nerds, and research nerds who happen to do some applied stats.

I am sure there will be people who will comment about how bitcoin =! blockchain. This is one of the biggest issue in cryptocurrency space. There is no branding. I think someone might start a coin called Block Chain or blockChain just to muddy waters.

Still it will be interesting to see a survey - Maybe Coinbase can run it on their platform on what a novice cryptocurrency investor thinks blockchain means. Is it a coin or bitcoin or technology?

I also find the betting against cryptocurrencies using AMD a fascinating hypothesis. Any traders on this forum have insights on this?
I guess the closest thing to what you want in Ocaml is modular implicits. http://tycon.github.io/modular-implicits.html

As far as the tradeoff, my view on types is a bit different than yours, I think. First, a quick note:

> specify manually all the types of all the functions
This is usually encouraged in OCaml, in the form of a .mli file.

I think types can be a lot more than "compiler checked documentation that can also work as basic tests". They allow you to encode invariants that allow the compiler to check more than basic stuff. I thought this video had a good example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J8YyfrSwTk&t=20m10s
When I lived in SF I would ride pretty everywhere. The SF Bike Coalition is one of the most effective lobbying organizations I've ever seen, and they've done a huge amount to transform the city to make it bike friendly. In return, the number of people biking has really skyrocketed in the last 10 years. There are often good bike lanes along routes, and sometimes they are even separated. They have a pretty good map that shows you bike lanes, so you could use that to plan out some routes while you're getting familiar.

Anecdotally, the motorists are more aware of bikes now than they used to be (just because there are more of them), but you still need to ride pretty defensively.
