I moved to northern Minnesota and found that the Mexican food was generally low quality. Not only the recipes and style, but especially preparation, ingredients, presentation, quality standards and just about everything. However when I mentioned this to people there they would immediately say something like “I know it’s not -authentic-, but...”. However my point was that average sit-down family restaurants served food that more resembled a TV dinner or fast food place’s meals, which is not really related to authenticity.
This is an astute observation. Here is the accurate answer from the author of the feature:
“We do have special handling for RLE for filters and group by column but in both cases there would be per row component (updating selection vector for filter on RLE, updating aggregates for group by on RLE) and so far I saw RLE encoding usually slower than dictionary encoding for both these cases”

Did the media know? The attention being given to the Cambridge Analytica story by the media suggests that this is a new finding to them.

I think one of the societal problems we have right now is an overwhelming lack of tech literacy. It affects the media but also (and more importantly) government. People simply don't understand this stuff, and the problem isn't going to go away, because if you do have tech knowledge you can make far more money as a developer than you can as a journalist or politician.

Toptal[1]

If you're a really good engineer (like I strongly believed I was) and don't have the network to find gigs (I live in Pakistan) freelance market places are great ideas on paper but never work out... Until I joined Toptal. They screened me to ensure I was a good developer (high quality supply of developers) and then worked with me to find a client that would be a good fit.

Since not everyone can get into the marketplace, it isn't a race to the lowest rate and they have the best clients I've ever worked with. At one point an old client emailed asking me to temporarily move to Australia for a project (although I declined)

You can work full-time, part-time, or even hourly. It's exactly what you're looking for!

Full disclosure: I later joined Toptal as an editor for their engineering publication [2] so I technically work there but this was all based on my experience as a freelancer there

Maybe the party that detects and decides on consequences for plagiarism should be a separate entity in the university. Like the internal affairs division in police departments that ordinary police officers hate so much in movies and tv-series. They would be an "external enemy", so the teaching staff would not have to suffer from friction with their students in these unpleasant matters, and also the consequences would be out of hands of the teachers.
Your last paragraph seems to contain the kind of overconfidence that I'm talking about. I don't understand how you can say "consciousness is simply X" or "it's easy to do that [if you handwave away the hard parts]." Clearly it's not that simple or easy, or we would have done it.

We can't even create life from non-life. How can we begin to understand all the stuff you're talking about that's been layered on top? We don't understand this stuff well enough to just handwave it away as unimportant or trivial.

Cars have huge costs besides just production - amortized R&D, depreciation/damage to the tooling, union benefits, rework, shipping, amortized cost of future recalls per vehicle, interest on debt payments.

Also, it's one of, if not the most competitive market on the planet. There's a large number of incredibly well funded entrants, with competition in every segment. It's as close to a truly efficient market as you can get, and it's getting more efficient as Chinese and Indian brands mature.
For well-optimised floating point calculations, this is generally true (even taking into account the SMT capabilities of Power8). Intel also has 8-wide (and more) SIMD in terms of intrinsics (AVX/AVX512), whilst Power is still limited to 4-wide with AltiVec, although with Power9 VSX should allow wider (I think).

Where Power8/9 really shines is memory bandwidth - it's orders of magnitude faster than leading edge Intel stuff currently. But if you're not memory constrained, Intel machines can still have a bit of an edge.
Yeah, my sample is fairly biased in that direction. That and rickshaw wallahs who'll speak the language of their market I guess.
I think it's a combination of (1) and (2): in a high-dimensional space, for a local optimum to be convex it has to be convex in every dimension, the probability of which falls off exponentially in the number of dimensions. So in practice, they're all saddles.

I suppose you don't live in Finland, because I've never heard opinions like that from a fellow Finn.

Last night the outdoor temperature here was -20 C (-4 F). In conditions like this, it's basic human behaviour to give shelter to those in need. I gladly pay taxes so that the government can solve the problem in the most efficient way for the society. It would be much more expensive to let the ER and health care system handle these people when they get severely frostbitten outside.
We don't have a lot of incentives to turn down contributions. Quite the opposite.

We not only encourage this, we actively help people contributing to GitLab. It's humbling to be a steward to an open source project and something we don't take lightly [0].

And to be blunt, for an organisation as ours, with very ambitious goals, and highly demanding users, having someone else than us contribute something that makes the product better is the best possible deal we could do. We can compensate for the 'lost' value in our enterprise product by spending that time on other things that are maybe more interesting for our paying customers.

Solid questions, thanks for the thoughtful response. I can try to speculate. I should observe that I haven't studied developmental psychology or philosophy above an undergrad level, so I'm likely to misstep with both logic and terminology.

> the incentive to justify immoral behavior, and the lack of evidence that more tribalism would have anything to offer

First I can say that I don't think Kegan means that the relaxation of identification with abstract systems means devolving back into identification with tribe. I think it refers more to the ability to engage in good faith with criticisms of one's abstract systems, one's ideologies, and recognize their weaknesses and inconsistencies much as one did with one's tribe--that is, a transcendence of the need to associate weaknesses of the system with weaknesses of the self, with the associated defensiveness. I think anyone who uses those inconsistencies and weaknesses to justify immoral behavior probably didn't reach the abstract-system phase to begin with, though it doesn't seem unlikely that someone would feign that to display tribal identification. I'm guessing that's what people mean by the term "virtue signaling."

> the apparent correlation between a lack of faith in philosophical ideals and dishonesty, neoliberalism, lack of nuance, late capitalist culture, etc.?

I'm with you on this one. I don't think Kegan would advise sacrificing all faith in abstract systemic thought, and I don't think that's what Socrates is doing when, e.g., at the end of a long series of questions, he shrugs and tells a story he heard one time about the gods. I think what's at issue is whether one can separate oneself from one's ideals well enough to critique them, to balance conflicting ideas thoughtfully and not feel obliged to defend your system to the death when it butts up against other systems. I think what I called "lightness of spirit" above is key here, and we see it all the time in Socrates - the wisest in Athens not because he knew more, but because he knew that he didn't know more. I mean, so he says. There's obviously abundant lightness of spirit there too.

The charge of individualism is a good one. I hope that there's a stage past the militant adherence to first tribe and then ideology that doesn't necessarily entail individualism. Maybe it just looks like a relaxed broad view of the human tragicomedy that takes the good with the bad, sympathizes with the suffering, and makes choices according to conscience.

As for cartooning Socrates, I hope not. I'm certainly not caricaturing him mean-spiritedly. I admire his enterprise and methods, including when he has to set rationality aside and tell a good story. I think those moments make him more humane, more relatable, more realistic. I realize that my current representation of him is at odds with the point made in the article, but even here, choosing death according to conscience, it's still not about making some grotesque martyr of himself. I think it's admirable.
that nasa site was actually interesting. but i think like i'm 5.
The basic answer is no. I was referring only to the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. I have a view of what that amendment means and how it ought to be interpreted in the present era. I don't think I'd answer yes to your questions on interpreting the various texts you quoted.

Unrelated tangent, but not only do I often hear cases of counterfeit money, I had friends who would counterfeit it in highschool just with a little image editing and a printer. This small scale type of counterfeiting is actually by far the most common type. Won't work against newer plastic-y bills in my country though.

>And, it's high time we recognize these services to be "infrastructure". You don't persecute the street owner for vehicles that drive on it - if you could, the state would be liable for all crimes involving a vehicle

Sure, but a public street is state-owned. A public street agency doesn't profit from trying to convince the right kind of people to drive on it with the right kind of cars so it can market things to them or charge tolls.

I oppose this law for the same reason as you, but it would be better to just admit that vital network infrastructure of the common-carrier kind shouldn't be reliant on feeding eyeballs to advertisers and manipulating users.

More importantly, can we have a rallying cry to regulate these data brokers? Often they aren’t even attempting to ask users permission, or even notify users of their existence in any way, before harvesting and repackaging data about them.
False-positive results by consumer genetic tests show importance of confirmation
A bit off-topic, but after reading "software engineer with a full-time job, but I have lots of spare time in my off hours" I find myself contemplating if I'm alone in wondering how anyone can have free time with a full-time software job. I work full-time in software and it is an all-consuming, life-eating thing. Perhaps (hopefully) I'm just "doing it wrong" and there is hope out there for a life beyond work... :-)
Results: Our analyses indicated that 40% of variants in a variety of genes reported in DTC (direct-to-consumer) raw data were false positives. In addition, some variants designated with the “increased risk” classification in DTC raw data or by a third-party interpretation service were classified as benign at Ambry Genetics as well as several other clinical laboratories, and are noted to be common variants in publicly available population frequency databases.

Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the importance of confirming DTC raw data variants in a clinical laboratory that is well versed in both complex variant detection and classification.
It's another receiver at a known location.

Atmospheric conditions cause errors that are in some cases hard to predict.

If you have a GPS receiver at a known nearby location, you can subtract the difference from what you receive and what you would expect to receive at your actual location, and then add that in to your GPS receiver at the unknown location.

It needs to be nearby because you want the atmospheric conditions between your fixed receiver and your moving receiver to be as similar as possible.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_GPS for more information

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Kinematic is what's used to get ~1cm accuracy, but RTK would not be useful because while RTK increases precision of the measurements it does not (by itself) eliminate errors introduced by the atmosphere, which are already larger than what can be obtained without taking carrier phase into account.
No, despite all the rhetoric about shortages, I'm seeing most companies sit on job reqs for a year waiting on a unicorn rather than taking a chance on a non-perfect fit. Largely due to the meme that started a decade+ ago that one bad hire can destroy a company, and everyone is secretly a non-learning moron.

Uncertain about Reddit, but Google/Alphabet morals were pretty well laid out in Eric Schmidt's book "A New Digital Age" where he details how because he is rich, it is his duty to determine the morality of society. It's a very old-school viewpoint that's common amongst 'old money' types that see the general public as rabble to be yolked and who must be protected from their own self-destructive natures. It's the mindset that backed kings and queens for thousands of years and got a swift kicking in the late 1700s on the global stage. But it seems to be making a comeback, albeit a pretty small one so far. This is actual Conservative mindset, where the rights of the individual are a distant second to the rights of the 'greater' structure being served, whether that be a nation, religion, or whatever. Liberalism was the view that people are equals, that there are no 'special' people imbued with an inherent superiority that entitles them to ruling over and guiding others against their will, and any 'greater' organization should fall if it requires grinding individuals rights to stand.
EVs have been around for decades, and that's the issue here. They weren't ever cool and it was never particularly cheap to buy one. California used to (still does?) give rebates and an okay to use the carpool lane, and that didn't even cause a significant bump.

All Tesla did is prove you can sell an EV at a high price point to tech people who love all sorts of trendy things that don't sell outside that sphere. This in no way says EV is a mass-market vehicle yet.

Tesla did bring many infrastructure issues to the forefront, and that's no small feat.

IBM also created a lot of voluntary RIF (reduction in force) programs in the 1990's. The goal was to get rid of managers and deadwood.

Of course, the technical people were always the first to jump at the opportunity to take cash and leave. Often, they walked back in to IBM the next Monday as a contractor.

IBM upper management eventually figured out that the managers weren't going to move--even an extra year at a manager salary dwarfed the program payout--and the deadwood wasn't going to move--they knew they had no other options-- and killed the programs.
