My wife and I are watching the TV show Community together, and Donald Glover is great in it. Fantastic timing. It's not a challenging role he's playing, but he's so charming and fun. (Plus, the show-runner on Community was Dan Harmon, co-creator of Rick & Morty, so the humor has that dark, meta, highly creative edge to it.)
I think it's "You should get brunch."
I've lived in Atlanta for nine years and it seems like the message is "be nice." Really. Certainly there are exceptions, but there is an ambient friendliness here that is missing in other large cities.
Is EFI the system that my newer motherboards use when booting up?

Is he talking about the system that has replaced grub on most of my machines with a more reliable one that's built into the hardware?

In 2012, EFI/UEFI was pretty unreliable because the implementations were bad and the software support was terrible. Nowadays, I find it preferable.
How to Start a Consulting Business
I'm not up to speed on ZBLAN at all (had to google what it is just now), but if it can really do 0.05dB/km at 1550nm [1], then it seems like it's actually ideally suited for long distance telecom. This is like taking an off-the-shelf "80km" SFP, and turning it into an "800km" SFP. Am I missing something?

This. I love my SE, and if SE2 is a micro X, I'll probably finally move away from Apple. I really don't want a face-id or imaginary home button.
Could be the wrong take away.

People seem to implement this sort of capability themselves a lot. So there is going to be a small marginal value to a 'canned' version, web sites are also particularly careful with emails and other PII people send them so a service approach runs the risk of the service harvesting that data and reselling it without the web site owners knowledge or approval. And finally, I expect a quick crawl of the web would turn up a zillion different 'tweaks' that individual sites make for their particular application, so it would be hard for them to use a pre-baked one.
For this area, my ideal world is one where both the BIOS and UEFI are dead, replaced by something that is inspired both by OpenFirmware and coreboot.
Of course you wouldn't be able to do it on the first try, that's a fairly "advanced" position for someone not used to that sort of movement. It's like everything else in fitness, you have to (very) slowly work your way up to it.

I've been looking for an excuse to post this to HN, and here's the perfect thread. If you (like me) are afflicted since childhood with both Science and Religion, and you don't mind chewing through something a bit meaty, this is an excellent discussion of the relation between Science and Religion.

I do not want FaceID, and will resist it as long as possible. I do not want to normalize the idea that security should depend on a camera taking images of my face and environment. I am not alone in this, and believe this is one reason the iPhone X is selling poorly.
Having lived and worked in both cities, my experience is that salaries in Seattle are higher unless you're in fin-tech. I was quoted consistently better salaries in Seattle.

Salaries in Seattle also work out to be higher given the higher COL in NYC. I owned a mid-sized house with front and back yard in West Seattle; my apartment in Brooklyn is much smaller and more expensive.

Groceries can be up to 2.5x as expensive at some places unless you travel out of your way to someplace like Trader Joe's.

Also, no state income tax in Washington.

That said, New York is New York.
> Maybe people are secretly eating more seafood in the USA than my experience would assume, or Europeans just eat way more seafood that I would have guessed.

One of the main reasons why I choose to spend almost all my summer vacations in Greece (I live in Romania, relatively closed by) is its excellent and pretty affordable sea-food. There’s also good sea-food available in most of Italy (I could even find sea-food dishes served by restaurants in Turin, which is a land-locked city).
That's a terrible idea. Science shouldn't rely on "trust", and reviewers and reviewees should be anonymous to one another. A fact stands on it's own; it's not dependent on it's source.
This is very true. I didn’t realize I had ADHD until after a year of college, but basically the first few days of taking stims are basically borderline hypo manic - you havw (seemingly) limitless enrgy, enthusiasm, confidence, drive. Work is intrinsically fun (although it’s actually extrinsic since it’s drug induced).

Then tolerance rears its head and it becomes exactly like you said. For me it takes till I get close to t_max (peak blood concentration) that my day really starts, which is from 1-3 hrs after dosing (closer to 3 for the drugs I take)

It started out as a focus on drug abuse, but more than abuse or use, I'm trying to answer a question of why? If, for example, you don't abuse but just use psychoactive drugs in some way, regularly, why? Especially if you like your job or things seem pretty good in your life. I am not judging and don't know the answer. Maybe the query is too broad though, I guess I'm going into this open eyed and open minded and I'll see what patterns emerge.

What frightens me more is how rarely I see talk about decision theory and hypothesis testing in the (deep) machine learning community, it is as if people consider the classification output as sufficient evidence of recognition, just quote that max(p(class)) rather than the significance of the class given its classifier score.
Am I missing something?

Detroit, I have no idea. A message of "it gets better?". Most residents right now are either those who were affected by the riots and carry a deep seated fear and hatred of the city, people who grew up in the city during the recession and have basically hit rock bottom multiple times, immigrants who moved to neighboring cities and have started a slight culture there, or idealistic youngsters that think they can change things.

I fit into the last category and I have no idea what this area wants out of you.

> the reality is that the bubble is different in New York.

I think that goes without saying. 6% is a minority, but 6% all working in the same industry remains significant. Where I currently live one of the largest industries makes up about 3% of the workforce. And even at that lower rate it already feels like everyone I meet works in that particular industry. Just imagine what 6% is like. I am not at all surprised that it feels like nobody does anything other than tech. 6% is staggering!

Nobody denies that SF (and the Valley in general) is heavily weighted towards tech professionals. With 6% of the population involved, they are going to be everywhere. However, they still only make up a minority share of the entire population. There should be no shortage of opportunity to find people doing other things.

Thanks for the link, facts aside you gotta love the author's writing style:

> Rubin was the prototypical Goldman banker. He was probably born in a $4,000 suit, he had a face that seemed permanently frozen just short of an apology for being so much smarter than you, and he exuded a Spock-like, emotion-neutral exterior; the only human feeling you could imagine him experiencing was a nightmare about being forced to fly coach. It became almost a national clichè that whatever Rubin thought was best for the economy — a phenomenon that reached its apex in 1999, when Rubin appeared on the cover of Time with his Treasury deputy, Larry Summers, and Fed chief Alan Greenspan under the headline The Committee To Save The World.
[...]

The basic scam in the Internet Age is pretty easy even for the financially illiterate to grasp. Companies that weren't much more than potfueled ideas scrawled on napkins by uptoolate bongsmokers were taken public via IPOs, hyped in the media and sold to the public for mega-millions. It was as if banks like Goldman were wrapping ribbons around watermelons, tossing them out 50-story windows and opening the phones for bids. In this game you were a winner only if you took your money out before the melon hit the pavement.

> Living with people I nearly know who are not invested in keeping me healthy would be disastrous for me

Would it have been better if your roommates shared the same (or similar, from a compassionate perspective) disorder? I have a friend who suffers from migraines. She found having similarly-afflicted roommates to be tremendously comforting and, in one case, potentially life saving.
Well that's a bummer. I'd like a phone that's going to be updated for at least 2 and hopefully 3 years. If it's already from the 6S generation I'm not too confident in it getting patched for the next 3 years.
Unregulated exchanges are money pumps, though.
I highly doubt islands are respected considering Chinese trawlers are found invading territory as far as Argentina
Yup, I still have a 5s for this very reason. I dread having to "upgrade" to something bigger... Would probably use a Zoolander phone if existed.
> That is the cost of living in a civilized society where we can settle our conflicts before an impartial judge instead of by the law of the jungle. Anyone can sue you and make you (or your lawyer) show up in court.

But in a healthy system, it only happens when they have a substantial claim and a real belief they will win; because otherwise it is costly to them. There are normally strong incentives to settle privately.

And that too is part-and-parcel of living in a civilised society. The rule of law requires that officials, or those who influence them, do so in an orderly way and don't just wield it like a stick.
Jordan Peterson’s Gospel of Masculinity
This is a very good question.

My issue with police misconduct is that it is institutionalized and practically protected and normalized.

Is this the case with malpractice?

I’d think that the army-like bonding of police officers is a part of the reason for letting a lot of issues slide. Is there a similar phenomenon with lawyers?
If you're happy with Python, great. But the market for something like this can be so much bigger.

Let's say you already have a NodeJS service. This reducers the friction to add some ML into the mix to basically zero. Install the optional propel_linux_gpu package, throw it on a GPU instance on AWS and call it a day.

ML right now is still mostly the domain of the tech giants and researchers, efforts like these will serve to make it an everyday component of software stacks everywhere.

That is blasphemous! It would be like gluing Legos together.
I don't see why that's important. I've seen the middle and the world is pretty amazing.
I just lift up the toilet seat and squat over the bowl. It's only tricky on taller toilets but normally works perfectly fine. In fact, using public toilets it feels a little more hygienic as you don't actually have to touch the toilet seat or bowl.

I believe it's part of the reason my upper leg muscles have remained strong even when work has put a halt on exercise for longer periods of time.

I would be open about this if asked but never bring it up unsolicited in conversation as in the past I have found it regarded as outright bizarre.
Unfortunately it was not surprise to anyone. 95% of the toys that had could be purchased through either Walmart.com or Amazon.com. The only thing you really went there for what the super limited addition Barbie / Star Wars toy. No one goes for Jeffery branded bike anymore.

They stopped most advertising. Their website is 2 generations behind. The loyality program is laughable. The POS's are slow. ToysRUs is KMart.

Can they make a come back? Yes, but they need to either become the Big Lots of toys or go highly specialized. Also maybe take a lesson from the early days of Radio Shack (1962 era of Tandy Corporation).

To quote from Wikipedia:

Tandy closed Radio Shack's unprofitable mail-order business, ended credit purchases and eliminated many top management positions, keeping the salespeople, merchandisers and advertisers. The number of items carried was cut from 40,000 to 2,500, as Tandy sought to "identify the 20% that represents 80% of the sales" and replace Radio Shack's handful of large stores with many "little holes in the wall", large numbers of rented locations which were easier to close and re-open elsewhere if one location didn't work out. Private-label brands from lower-cost manufacturers displaced name brands to raise Radio Shack profit margins; non-electronic lines from go-carts to musical instruments were abandoned entirely.

I took Math and Philosophy (and studied higher math like Category theory and Knot Theory). I don't think one is more interesting than the other. I love them equally.

>To give a really simple example: believing in an intelligent creator based on design in nature. That's not "no evidence". Holding to a naturalistic theory of origins that explains apparent design by a long sequence of chance occurrences is equally a faith commitment.

I agree that modern science still requires faith as much of what we believe is inherently difficult to definitively prove. What I'm struggling to understand is how you can say that these competing theories require an equal faith commitment. By what measurement? How are the competing theories equally plausible? I actually agree when you say that the complexity of nature is "not 'no evidence'" and would add that the notion of an intelligent creator was probably the most plausible explanation available when the notion was conceived. However, plausibility has to be reevaluated and compared in the face of contrary evidence supporting other plausible theories, and I simply can't see how the competing evidence can be judged as supporting equally plausible theories.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/263401/global-apple-ipho... claims Apple sold 50.76 million iPhones in the equivalent quarter a year ago.

If that is correct, expecting them to sell 45 to 50 million iPhone X’es this quarter, to me, seems a tad optimistic.

Similarly, https://www.statista.com/statistics/276306/global-apple-ipho... claims Apple sold 216 million iPhones in total in 2017, but https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-samsung-iphone-x-oled... claims

”Samsung shipped Apple 50 million OLED displays for the iPhone X in 2017. That number looks to quadruple to 180-200 million in 2018.”

Who is pulling numbers out of thin air, statista.com or Samsung?
Harry Connick, Jr. is another.

Singer, bandleader, pianist, talk show host. He's also decent actor, though I don't know if he's acted in anything lately.

I give him extra points on the musical front because he does nerdy stuff like slowing down and speeding up an improvised melody in the right hand while a syncopated left hand retains the same tempo. He's famous enough he could probably just play something showy like Liberace and get away with it.

Yes, in the tech industry, and all of it is of course only my personal experience. It's seen as a failure to get addicted, so these highly addictive substances are out completely. They also don't really give you anything apart from problems (compared to other drugs). Cocaine is seen as somewhat OK but uncommon because it's hard to find cocaine that is of OK quality for an OK price (you definitely can't buy that on the street) - and again, addiction is a failure. Some people fear legal stimulants more than they fear LSD; but they're definitely pretty common (especially within student groups) and not frowned upon at all, I've seen people have (not prescribed) Adderall placed visibly on their desks.

Being visibly influenced by a drug is a huge failure as well. It's OK if you take and it's not visible but once you act differently (e.g. talking too fast, slightly jumping around while standing etc.), people will think badly of you and you will be a target of jokes. Having a different behaviour even if you haven't taken the drug (e.g. if you get cravings for it) is seen as bad too.
Agreed, it's like dribble, too much of a circle jerk for anyone to take interest outside of the industry.
I'd have replaced "Goldman Sachs" with "Berkshire Hathaway", or "General Electric" or "A Private Equity Firm."

GitHub – Easy Redux for your react app
Nothing stops you publishing globally and for free, but in some disciplines nobody will read what you wrote if you do that unless they've already heard of you.

In some disciplines you absolutely can just self-publish and get noticed. Arxiv, starting in the 1990s, allowed you to upload a TeX document about your work in say, astronomy and other astronomers who had the World Wide Web (this was still the 1990s after all) could read it, pass comment and perhaps recommend it to others. These days Arxiv has sections for physics, mathematics, astronomy, computer science and related disciplines.

However: Some disciplines and sub-disciplines have a huge problem where enthusiastic amateurs want desperately to tell everybody in that discipline about some nonsense. For them systems like Arxiv are hopeless, because every day you're going to get fifty documents from some guy living with his mom who is convinced he's harnessing zero point energy with a paperclip and a pair of fridge magnets, or a 53 year old self-taught cryptographer who is convinced her scheme for "reusable one time pads" works even though she doesn't understand why the OTP is provably secure in the first place.
If a patient is stable enough that the taking of regular vital signs is nothing but a nuisance, maybe it's time for the patient to leave the acute care hospital and go home or to a rehabilitation facility. Nobody wants patients who don't need acute care services in acute care hospitals.

Maybe DNR / palliative-care patients should get a break on the four-hour vital sign gathering. But people start yelling "death panels" when this sort of thing comes up in hospital policy.

I don't dislike him because of his opinions. I still like him but I've lost some amount of respect or reverence for him. It seems like he hasn't put a lot of effort into his opinion. Maybe he has and when I learn more I'll regain some of that lost respect.

I only mean to say this interview didn't do him any favors from one person's perspective.
Who the hell would ask their boss for drugs?
To add a counterpoint - there isn't anything on the line in grad school when sharing stories of drug use... completely different ballgame in the professional world. I've only had one coworker where we mutually admitted to smoking weed and that was because we were talking about music and each threw out a couple names that, well, I don't think there are too many sober people listening to it and we both happened to live in Colorado. In my 6 years that's one person I've told about a drug that is legal where we live - god forbit I tell them about my LSD, coke, nitrous, MDMA, etc usage as benign and recreational as it is. I'd open up about pretty much anything else before that - family issues/etc aren't going to get me fired for discussing
The parent poster is severely biased based his personal experiences. Where I am located the northern coast or “panhandle” of Flordia is a popular vacation spot. Almost everyone eats seafood and most restaurants on the coast have it.

Personally, I can find seafood that is less than a few days hold and local to my state or neighboring states. Even really great Shellfish that is less than a day old if you time it right. We are 4-5 hours from the ocean but it can be more expensive.
Congrats on the launch guys! Really excited to play around with this.
Well then, I guess my problem likely lies elsewhere. Thanks for the reply. :)

And that has to be the strangest "feature" I've ever heard of from a hardware firm. Was it maybe purpose-built for a bulk order of machines that were going to be pre-loaded with Win8?

No experience, but note that Amazon - and presumably other cloud providers - can allow users to upload directly to the cloud: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingHTTPPOS.... S3 is not that cheap, but I'd expect uploading to the nearest Amazon datacenter to be decently fast.
I've never been a daily caffeine user, so I have a bit of sensitivity to it. When I used stims for productivity I especially avoided caffeine because it could push me uncomfortably close to OD territory.
Just look at the pricing for Amazon S3. It cost 20-30$/month * TB. This makes Apples 10$ a month for 1TB looks like a fairly good deal.

Don't forget that the price includes VAT and other taxes. General infrastructure costs, including traffic. Redundancy. Backups. I don't think they're turning much of a profit, but offer it because it makes their platform more attractive.
