Good that I have location switched off then... I never saw the need for any website to know where I am at the moment I make a request. They can glean some of it from the IP address but in that case they'd think I always post from exactly the same location as all my traffic goes through a VPN.
The only career advice we got in my physics undergrad was when the quantum professor told us few if any would go on to PhDs, but we could get jobs in Vegas or Wall Street. It was at that moment that I learned to stick with index funds and never, ever gamble. There's no way one of me for a few hours can possibly beat 100s of me working on a problem for decades.

Chromecast support is available for a few non Google iOS apps. But I guess the blame is on Google for not opening up the protocol for nonstandard Android derived Os's.
With an IDE (or even most code editors) you can ctrl+click on Address to go straight to its definition.
When fixing syntax errors in programs (which now a days happens less and less, because all the on the fly parsing and error reporting), I prefer to fix the errors one-by-one and recompile after each fix. No matter how good a parser is, there will always be 'bogus' error reports after the initial error. I do not want to spend time on those, especially if a compiler can bring me to the next 'real' error within a second of reparsing. I rather not having the parser spend time on any further parsing in case an error is found.
I think an interesting project may be to look at popular github repositories and searching for such 'stat builders',i.e, people who make commits of no utility just to boost their github stats.

It's not the clearest communication, but can we blame him? He's an engineer on the spectrum. On the other hand it feels like the journalists are reading into it what they want to read because controversy/black-and-white opinions get more clicks.
Yet another reason blocking ads is a must. But not just blocking ads, trackers as well. I use uMatrix and uBlock origin. Unfortunately this does nothing to deal with the aforementioned redirect chain. I suppose maybe this means it is time to go back to the telephone and flight agencies.

Honestly not really. Complexity breeds bugs simply due to surface area, and complexity grows exponentially with features (as in, each boolean option you add doubles the number of states your system can be in).

No, but they represent a hell of a lot of big data use cases.

Assuming he already checks for data not being on fs cache, what else would you take? You don't want to measure other load going on in your system and impacting your queries.
Let's go one step further.

Even receiving and recording the message might be very dangerous. There have been cases in the past where contaminated MP3 or video files took over the media players (because of decoding bugs in them).

Imagine a very weak signal which requires complicated signal processing and correlation between multiple receivers to reconstruct.

+1. For some reason, only GoDaddy can expire all your domains on a specific date (for example 12/31) so that you don't have to renew your domain names at random times. Seems fairly trivial to implement and is a MASSIVE annoyance-saver for customers. For example, pay $12/yr domain expires on 12/31 of this year (instead of 3/4) so maybe on 12/29, you can look at your list of domains and figure out which ones you want to renew.

But Google domains win for the free privacy guard (GoDaddy charges $25/yr for domain & privacy, Google domains is $12/yr)
The main question which is coming to my mind right now is how on earth did this guy get contributor access to the repository. And here I used to think that being maintainer of a large open source project must take a lot of talent and hard work.

It really needs to come from your employer. If they're not invested in making sure their craftsmen have time to sharpen their tools, they're going to get some shitty crafts made.
Define "success" for yourself, instead of defining it based on the stories of extraordinary individuals, or on what others define as successful.

Also, understand that success is a temporary, fleeting thing. You'll be successful, but when you'll be alone with yourself, in your bed, in the bathroom, with earbuds in in the car or the bus etc., if you're not happy or at peace, than that's worth nothing.

Are these cliches? Yes. But they are so for a reason.
There's a lot of pseudoscience out there like flat earthism, homeopathy, dowsing and what not. The belief that "the establishment" is ignorant and narrow-minded and could be proven wrong by a determined individual willing to challenge those beliefs is what enables these beliefs in the first place.

Skepticism and curiosity are healthy, driving forces of science that can be taken too far to lose touch with reality.
I believe you can, twice a day.
I'm sure other people like this style of article. I'm just telling you I don't.

Even the steps 1-5 are a bit fluffy for me. If you had just told me "drop a height to the the hypotenuse and use similar triangles" I would have known what was meant, more succinctly.

Do you have a suggestion on where to get unfluffed math news? I sometimes look at the AMS notices or Terry Tao's blog, but they don't cover quite the same breadth as things like Quanta magazine. I don't know where to get the big news for major events from an unfluffed source. Usually by the time the news has hit Quanta magazine or the NYT, it has already been circulating somewhere else long enough to be old news. I just don't know where else to look.
Emulation's difficult, even for well-known platforms. Dosbox emulates a large variety of hardware, quirks in various DOS versions, and runs on a ton of platforms, but it doesn't do any of those things absolutely perfectly, and there's room for improvement in its hardware support. Plus, compiler and environmental changes need occasional maintenance.
Does this particular method only find rational solutions less than one?

It seems to me that integer solutions are rational solutions, and if you can find a finite number of rational solutions and prove those are all the rational solutions, you've also found all integer solutions (by filtering the rational solutions for integers).

But when there are infinitely many rational solutions, that may leave an open question whether there are also infinitely many integer solutions.
Yup. I love getting time to work on a pure passion project, even if it's something silly. I happen to enjoy coding; it makes me happy.

I'm surprised the article doesn't begin by describing the weather and how Einstein was dressed while he was publishing this essay or whatever… Or how poor triangles felt while "Einstein continued his love affair with the Pythagorean theorem all his life". Unusually scarce description for the newyorker.
The problem I have with it is that it helps to legitimize the view that an uneducated person's opinions and intuitions are more valid than expertise. In the current political climate, it's dangerous to continue stoking that narrative. As the parent said, the guy was hardly an amateur, but an antivaxer/global warming denier/etc. will view it as confirmation that establishment science is corrupt.
Its funny to be reading this just a week after noticing this.

Every airline uses some sort of a contractor or a shared piece of software for online checkins. You can tell by the formed URI fragments and the JSON being sent back and forth.

Its all trash. I wanted to work on a business that unified all check-ins under single company. I do not think however, it is reasonable given that all of these airlines have the process, as shit as it is, for a reason.
Thank you!

There is a thing to say about the beauty of maths as a universal language. In that spirit, I see Freud closer to philosophy, in the sense that philosophy is highly divided and regional.

Was freud really that influential? The "freudian slip" is certainly a very useful tool for analysis. But his "psycho analysis" is outdated, or at least overcome. And sexual freedom is progressing far slower.

Sexuality is a baseline of human development. You made a very good point.

People being able to get transportation at times, places, or prices that were not available before seems like a positive endeavor. People bugging you at your door selling you things that you never would want and MLMs, not so much.
"The second-century Stoic sage Epictetus argued that "Your will needn't be affected by an incident unless you let it". In other words, we can be masters and not victims of fate because what we believe our capability to be determines the strength of that capability."

That is absolutely not what Epictetus meant. In fact, like other Stoics, he taught his students a technique called negative visualization that is literally the opposite of positive thinking. The author couldn't have picked a worse example of an ancient precursor to positive psychology.
C# developer here: my own take is that there are times when vat makes code harder to read, but your team should value identifying and avoiding that. In any event, it’s still perfectly possible to elude type information using techniques such as never declaring a variable in the first place. From this perspective it’s just one more tool in the armoury for writing readable code.

In its favour: It’s surprising how much code doesn’t really need the types written out to be readable (a discovery that will shock Python developers not at all). Furthermore, refactoring said code has less busywork in it.

As a side note: There’s one weird benefit of var not mentioned in this. Namely, you’re guaranteed there’s not going to be a cast. This is a serious problem in C++ where assigning the result of a function to a variable can have arbitrary side effects. (It’s not that bad in Java since pretty much all you can do is cast to interface.)
Trains are great, but they exist already.

For a technology to eventually become mainstream, usually it first needs to find a sweet-spot where operational kinks can be worked out. Think of Tesla Roadster.

Mmmm.

It's also worth bearing in mind your audience.

This article was written by two guys who by and large are going after junk science in psychology, nutrition, and so on, where the worst motivation can only be to advance the careers of the scientists - and quite possibly the errors are just the result of over-optimism or lack of statistical abilities.

For that sort of work it makes sense to try and fix psychology from within, by pointing out errors. There isn't much point in trying to spread the word through the wider world that psychology is full of errors: what's the best outcome, exactly? A few people stop being invited to give TED talks? Big deal. Psychology isn't going to stop being studied, nor should it be!

But in the case of economics, there are two problems:

1) Economics is absolutely riddled with not just bad individual papers but entire sub-fields that are nonsense, it's an epidemic. It probably cannot be fixed by shaming individuals who make simple errors via their own journals and hoping for the field to improve. Even when major economists like Paul Krugman or Paul Romer have gone on very serious attacks against their own field, there has been no visible impact and in Romer's case he simply lost his job.

2) Economics is routinely used to justify massive government interventions (or lack of interventions) in markets and society. Bad economics research can have a very serious impact on people's lives.

In this case, it's probably better to work at a different level and try to spread the word amongst the general public that economics is not trustworthy. Thus the audience is not journals or the authors of the papers themselves. It's the public.

This is not hard because most people who follow the news have already encountered major cases where consensus economic predictions were simply wrong. Polling shows that trust in economists is quite low as is. If and when the field reforms it can try to rebuild trust.

In addition to the earlier points, I find a lot of the reporting on the misuse of statistics in psychology misuse statistics. It's a narrative, so "psychological studies are underpowered" becomes "ARE ALL PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES FAKE????"
I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty cheesed off if my car blew my bandwidth cap because it was secretly uploading terabytes of mapping information over the course of a month.

Analyzing the performance of acquired bootstrapped vs. funded startups
Whatever the case may have been, the week of the '86 APS April meeting found the gaming floor almost completely empty, leaving the casino with its record-low take; in the (probably apocryphal) words of one casino waitress: "They each brought one shirt and a ten-dollar bill, and changed neither."

The paper does talk about message compression being a vulnerability since we would have a hard time manually running their decompression algorithm.

However, I find it hard to believe that any kind of message will be dangerous due to signal processing without the sender having knowledge about our IT system structure and implementation details or some sort of feedback cycle. Given the time delays of interstellar messaging, I feel the only risk here can come from some sort of AI running locally which I assume would only be possible if we evaluate the message in a turing complete tool (such as their provided decompression algorithm.

Statistics is not the core of psychology, it is the core of having a publishable result. Psychologists want to do just enough statistics that they can claim to have a p-value<0.05 so they can get it into a journal. They don't care if their assumption of normality is correct, or if their assumption of independence is correct, or if the question they asked on the survey is actually measuring the thing they want to measure (spoiler alert: it usually doesn't, but we have a hard time measuring the brain). So they willfully ignore the assumptions because acknowledging that they were violated would mean that they would have to learn more complicated statistical methods. The current use of stats in psychology is just an attempt to make it look like their research is rigorous, when in reality it is usually broken.

The ideas of the scientific method are fine in psychology, but since most studies use WIERD samples, don't be surprised that many of those results don't generalize to other demographics.
How hard? We need to understand exactly what the probability of consensus failure is. Otherwise, we have not built a working distributed system...
You should work on a product that solves YOUR problem instead of making a product than determining the problem that it is solving.

This is a very common sentiment and is echoed almost everywhere startup related. You can read PG's essays on the matter or watch some Startup School videos.

I understand you may already have a product so hopefully others can give you more advice.
There was an article published awhile back that seemed to indicate the noises people heard (and still here) are due to tinatus and speculated they were poisoned with one of the many prescription medications that can cause tinatus. I can’t remember if they had any clinical testing but it seems a lot more plausible than some kind of sonic attack.

As someone who recently started suffering from mild tinatus I can assure you it’s a very bizarre sensation. If I didn’t know better I’d assume I was the victim of some kind of attack on my hearing as well.

Wind generators would be very price elastic: if an idle shipyard makes a desperate offer, the whole profitability threshold shifts and the energy market is impossible to completely saturate (worst case you'd have so much energy that it would be economical to synthesize hydrocarbons from thin air, to pump them into the ground for CO2 credits).

Also, look at it from the other side: the actors (states) who might be interested in propping up shipyards have very little direct use for generic shipping. Even less if there is a shipping glut (which would typically be just the time when the shipyard would need the propping-up). Conventionally, the only realistic thing a state could do to keep the shipyards in business would be to order some warships. With floating wind, this would change, instead of getting something destructive that will keep costing money once it's there you could get something productive.
If Elon Musk (or any suitable ambitious and rich person) fancies an exciting challenge, there is a very large and ancient body of land in relatively shallow waters (15m) between the UK and the Continent called Doggerland [0].
