> Do you have an idea for how to stop people from acting maliciously?

Yes,cultural homogeneity results in lower overall levels of malicious actors and free riders.

However, in the USA the only way to get such homogeneity is to (a) wait a long time for communications and migration to turn soften differences or (b) create a culture out of whole cloth, and use propaganda to spread it to the young.
very good remake! Keep up the good work xesf :)
Are PE executable files special in Windows, or could this bug have been hit with normal IO?
Racket includes a lazy language/library, and you can see some of the side-effects from the compiler there: #lang lazy is incredibly slow compared to #lang racket.

Racket probably can transform any kind of language, but some seem to require extra work to get them to run smoothly, by which I mean you may have to write your own compiler as well as the rest, before you see real performance.

However, #lang datalog is pretty much a pure interpreter, and it does have acceptable performance. So it should depend a bit on the language's fundamentals.

Speaking of J, there is some work on getting it to play nice with Racket [0], though it is incomplete, and I have no idea if the work is ongoing.

> This makes a good case for not learning machine learning three years ago.

Have you looked at the monograph at all? This could have been written 5 to 10 years ago, 15 years ago, maybe a few sections would have looked a little different. In fact, I like to recommend Mitchell's Machine Learning book (I think it was written in the 90s) as an introduction to people with a serious interest.

There currently is a lot of hype going on for machine learning algorithms, because we see good progress in things like computer vision / pattern recognition. This kicks of a marketing machinery that really blurs the reality.

In reality, we have an established body of methods and modelling techniques that are sufficient, because the available data is the bottleneck for prediction quality. The actual challenge is to come up with a valuable business proposition, not necessarily to build the predictive model.
Without due process: yes, it is a bad thing.
Hi there! If you're looking for data profiling software developers I'd suggesting checking out SlashData's "The Global Developer Population 2017" report https://www.slashdata.co/reports/global-developer-population... and also "Developer Economics: state of the Developer Nation Q3 2017" report https://www.slashdata.co/reports/state-of-the-developer-nati... Both reports are free for download. Hope this helps you find the insights you're looking for!
> Dont be an ignorant big blocker. Look at the smartest people in this space. The real technical folk. What are they saying?

I'm seeing them zoom in on the key technical problem: at no point has LN fixed the key technical issue, how to route.

Every transaction invalidates the routing path, because it changes the amount of liquidity available in the channels.

Rick Falkvinge nails this point. Key bit from 10:00 on, though the rest is well worth your time (and I say that as someone who hates watching videos on YouTube):

https://youtu.be/Ug8NH67_EfE?t=600

LN proponents explicitly compare it to BGP - but BGP is a completely trust-based protocol, where a lot of telecoms engineers have an agreement that they'll keep the network going no matter what, and bad actors are dealt with by hand.

Trust-based and fixing problems by hand is the diametric opposite of the cryptocurrency model.
I'm not doubting effects phenotype has on abilities in specific areas. Just that the mental model of "I can't" is very limiting.

Just because your phenotype isn't ideal for a thing doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

Also there are a large array of phenotypical that are harder to identify through testing than just giving it a go and seeing how you go / enjoy it.

I'm enjoying a vanilla Android 7.1 experience on my old Samsung S4, which is (subjectively) faster than many new crapware-loaded flagships.

I'd certainly entertain replacing my S4 with an S9, provided I'm able to install Lineage on it as easily as I was my S4.
Here in Japan, the health insurance system only covers a basic shared room with other 4 patients. If you want a private room, you have to pay out of pocket. For my wife when she stayed in the clinic for a week after a C-section, the highest grade of room (with your own mini-fridge, etc - comparable to a midrange hotel room) cost 15,000 yen/night ($140/night), which is maybe 2x as much as an actual hotel would cost. Obviously that doesn't include any actual medical (nurse calls etc)

This is old and things have changed substantially since I wrote it, but it is the only repository of raw data on the topic that I know of:

http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2015/01/some-raw-dat...

In the last year or so, I have noticed a big uptick in old handles that were inactive for a long time now participating and self identifying as female. I have long seen evidence that a lot of women here actively downplay or hide their gender. Historical surveys have suggested that 2 to 3 percent of the membership was female, but I believe that figure to be low because of self reported behavior of women hiding their gender. But women appear to be coming out of the woodwork these days.

I hit the leaderboard in October under a different handle. I appear to be the first openly female member of the leaderboard.

I feel there has been a lot of positive change in the last few years.

Malcom Gladwell's "Outliers" book shows some interesting relationships between month of birth and professional sports players.

Basically those born earlier in the year will generally have a physical advantage, which at a young age can make quite a difference (think of a chiold at 6 yeard old exactly compared to a child whi is 6 years and 11 months old).

These kids are then singled out and given extra training for the sport which they are good at, which compounds the effects.

While ML has lots of cool features, that kind of abstraction capabilities and compilation speed is also possible in other languages with modules.

Even if their modules aren't exactly ML-like, they offer similar features.

For example CLU also explored hidden types and generic interface definitions.

Modula-3 does offer opaque types, generic module interface definitions with multiple implementations and class inheritance. However it does lack closures/lambdas, forcing the use of function pointers, which aren't so developer friendly,

Similarly the way traits work in Scala are quite close to ML modules.

So there are ways of achieving ML module capabilities, even if not 1:1 as they are done in Standard ML.
As often if you want a deeper and much more nuanced overview Omega Tau has an amazing episode which discusses this and the reasons why this is such a big deal: http://omegataupodcast.net/229-ant-arctic-sea-ice/
We were talking about predictors of success. You can do sport recreationally or for fun, but that is not what is meant by "predictor of success". If your goal is to have success in competition, you will compete against people who have right phenotype. In which case it makes more sense to look at sport that might suit you.

Also, if two students start weight lift and he grows faster then you, the reason might not be that one is simply lazy and the other simply trains harder.
University of Virginia had 2 semesters of theory as a standard + a practical optional, which was usually something that made heavy usage of math or logic anyways.

I think Emory has the same.

I don't think this is that strange, is it? Which university do you know that doesn't mandate this for Computer Science?

Gypsies is a wee of a special case tbh. They've a very weird honor system that makes it hard to integrate them. We're trying to do that for decades and results are mediocre so far. I've heard crazy stories from people working at NPOs with them.

The only thing we didn't try yet is forcibly taking away children and putting them in boarding schools. I know it sounds terrible, but those people just don't want to integrate. Which is why may look mistreated. But in reality it's vice versa - they mistreat anyone else around them.

Of course, some gypsies do drop that way of life and integrate. But then they just look like normal citizen. Thus there're little "good gypsies".

And sharks including threshers, makos and great whites have an even odder solution: They feed their fetuses an endless stream of unfertilized eggs.

2. Sibling cannibalism

Sand tiger sharks have the most ghoulish fix for hungry babies: The fetuses devour each other in-utero until there’s just one pup remaining in each of their twin wombs. This uterine bloodbath is thought to have developed because a litter of sand tiger pups usually has multiple fathers — and each dad is engaged in a proxy war for his genes to take the upper hand. The “winning” fetus gets all the nutrients from its siblings and a roomy womb to develop into an unusually big baby, over 1 meter (3 feet) long at birth. Being born large and well-developed helps these newborn predators survive in a hostile ocean.
I recently stayed in a Japanese hospital in central Tokyo that's part of a chain used by celebrities. The most expensive rooms were over 1000USD a night, but free rooms are also available (if in limited quantities).

yes and no. Of course it is absurd to claim you don't need math. On the other hand, I think it is sometimes exaggerated. You'll see this tutorials, that are thorough linear algebra primers and claim that you need it for ML, when in fact you'd only need it to get a thorough understanding of the inner workings. On the other hand, I have seen highly educated math experts pretty much fail to understand, that a L2 norm isn't the best loss function for a business context where a deviation from the truth actually means linear costs. So I'd argue being able to map business problems into the shallow math domain is much more important, than mastering the deep math domain.
Well, I'm glad the consensus of scientists has never been wrong. It's also helpful the scientists can tell us who the true experts are, otherwise we'd never know.

In Europe, they are are taught at quite a few unis.

We had classes about C++, Pascal, x86 and MIPS Assembly, Smalltalk, Caml Light (OCaml had just been released as Objective Caml), Lisp, Prolog, Java (on my last year there).

Those that ventured into the optional compiler design classes, like I did, even had more languages to look at, like Algol, PL/I, Oberon and a few esoteric ones.

So it always feels strange to me when universities don't take this approach to teach what is out there, or where we come from.

Speaking from European universities point of view, when I was there everyone was using Caml Light, so when its new version came out, Objective Caml, it was natural just to upgrade there.

Then you have countries like France, INRIA's home, where schools are proud to teach their students about local tech.

INRIA also tries to connect with the industry, instead of being stuck in Academic stuff.
SimpleMoney's podcast: Current account deficit, banking scandals and more
Interesting. From some accounts I've read on the Internet, there's a big risk in Latin America that the locals will just treat you as a gringo with a huge (for them) amounts of money, that they can extract out of you via overcosted services and goods - all the while being super-friendly. Maybe Urugway is not as poor as some of the other countries, so it's less of an issue.

> the US limits green cards from people born in a single country to 7% (same upper limits to India / China and Montenegro)

As someone who doesn't know a lot about american immigration laws, that sounds surprisingly insane. Probably a stupid idea, but might it be preferable to become a citizen of another country - let's say Estonia, which seems to embrace immigration - just to use that citizenship to apply for a US green card?
By the time you are born it's already getting better. Yes it's dirt poor compared to now but is already on the trend of improving. So the stress level would be very different than the "suddenly become poor" people.

Another point is back in those days the majority of population are poor, which means the social structure are build around poor people. Food, cloths, education, haircut, all of them targeted poor people. You don't need to live in the corner of the city and go great length to find products suited for you.

Housing policy in the US is a very large part of the problem. Tax incentives, financing mechanisms, zoning codes and myriad other factors have helped make affordable housing nearly non existent. Our default expectation in the US is that young single people rent a multi bedroom place designed for a nuclear family and share it with roommates, who may be total strangers. If for any reason whatsoever that doesn't work for you, well, fuck you. Enjoy sleeping under a bridge while cops harass you.

We really need to stop talking about The Homeless in this country and start talking about the housing crisis. No one can get a handle on how you fix homelessness when we focus on the people who are homeless. But we could make a lot of headway on the problem if we tackled the housing piece of it.

It would not get everyone off the street. But it would, for example, get retirees off the street whose income will not cover rent because we simply do not have housing at the price point they need.

You're not alone.

I've lived in two major cities of the world, spent time in many others; However, I've never seen anything as bad as San Francisco and surrounding areas. Some of my colleagues are from Europe and felt so shocked and uneasy about what we saw.

I hate to say it, but it definitely left a bad impression of the USA on my friends and I. It certainly made me question a lot of the things the US claims to stand for.

Land of the free and home of the brave? If you say so...
I downgraded from an iPhone 5s to an Honor 8. Best decision I could have done. My Honor 8 is still as fast and snappy as it was on day 1. It doesn't take that long for iPhones to become sluggish. Been there, experienced that with the 3g and 5s.
"60% of the Median" can easily be a zero number of elements from the set.

In this case, median means "sorted by income, at which point have we divided the entire dataset in half". For a dataset with more than 2 elements (so 3 elements minimum), you can construct a dataset for which any below-100% of the median of the dataset is not represented in the dataset.

The easiest example would be using "99% of the median" and [9.999, 10, 11]. Median is 10, 99% of the median is 9.9, the smallest sample is 9.999.

60% of the median income basically means "the lowest 50% income bracket should not have more than 40% deviation". Or rather; the lowest possible income is bigger than 60% of the lowest earner of the top 50% of society.

The social pressure can be overwhelming, unless you're not super-super strong, mentally. We cannot assume the average person to be so strong.

Why is the social pressure overwhelming? Socially sometimes it seems that it's better to crawl into a cave and never be seen in your poverty, than be seen as a 40-45+ year old doing janitorial work (or other kinds of jobs most people find degrading, despite the fact that to your face they will deny it), by your friends and family. Also a lot of people can't accept the downturn in their lives. That's how you get alcoholism, depression, drug abuse. It's much harder to wake up and say: I've failed all these years, I need to start over.

I'd disagree with "almost no one". Lots of people still read books and texts that were composed in the past - it's even compulsory at school - and lots of people have a hobbyist interest in etymology. If I look a word up in a smaller dictionary than the OED I usually find it doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know, or it just raises questions that send me to the OED anyway. Of course you wouldn't use the OED to look up a technical term. Wikipedia would be better for that.

What I really love about the OED is how it keeps getting better even in its coverage of old words. There are lots of words which ten or twenty years ago had the etymology given us "unknown" but which now have a detailed explanation, thanks to recent research. (If you want an example, I think the word "koala" is one.)
