There has to be similar prestige/career-building/notoriety/funding for spending time on reproducing the experiments of others. Without that shift there will clearly be a greater tendency to just try something new.

Also, when experiments depend on source code, etc. we need real engineering tools/principles applied. (Something like: “you can’t publish paper X if you aren’t including a public repository with build/run instructions”.) Unfortunately, there are all kinds of reasons why scripts/builds could fail just a few months or years later so they would have to be checked too.

I think it would be cool if document-generation caught on in the publication of papers, i.e. the paper itself is generated by running actual experiment scripts and producing charts, etc. from plain text source.
no.

libraries are curated, organized, and structured to allow browsing.

random does nothing of the above.

meaning is a polyspectral space, and libraries are a lower-dimensional reduction of that to allow perusal through multiple bands of meaning. while the result may be arbitrary, it's within the bounds of the arc in the meaning-space. In addition, the curation of books means that arrant nonsense is culled (hello r/ooer), and highly niche bits of meaning are stored in appropriate places - usually residing in academic journals housed in university libraries.

I have read this near four times now. I can't really find any sustenance -- it appears to be a advertisement for a product wrapped in a unsolved issue.

No mention of lsof, netstat, or tcpdump, the normal tools used for troubleshooting these sort of problems. Without trying to sound to snarky I find it highly concerning that the industry is now working with tools like docker and Kubernties and we some how just throw out the fact that these sit on top of Linux.

Not to mention kubelet's ability to spot one of many turntables reaching a max still would have not solved this problem -- "Fundamentally, the node was unhealthy" -- is not a proper answer to the problem -- what was done to resolve the memory issue is. That could be increasing the tcp_mem to to support the workload, or finding a faulty user space program who is acting faulty -- all of which we have no clue because no real tools for troubleshooting this were used.

I mainly write this gripe because this appears to be a problemtisement, or a blogtisement. A "helpful" but not informative blog simply to provide a way to advertise your companies service at as the final blurb, leaving us with no real solution, resolution or a closing to the mystery of why tcp_mem was higher than expected.
I wouldn't say that I ever came to the view that his anti-functionalist views were right. In other fields of science, biology, for example, it's taken as given that one can and should reason from function to form and vice versa. I got my PhD and left to program computers, in large part because I'd soured on the politics within the field. I was interested in semantics myself.

It is not necessary in the purchasing of a domain name to publish personal information in WHOIS. Come GDPR implementation date, it is likely that the vast majority of newly purchased domains will not publish information into WHOIS. Given that most of these domains won't have private info go into WHOIS, how can you possibly argue that it's necessary?

All that's needed for the domain name system to work is to configure nameservers on the domain. That's it. Anything else is certainly not necessary. All WHOIS has ever done for me is resulted in fake domain renewal mailings, spam emails, and unsolicited spam/phishing calls. None of this is anything close to necessary.
One can argue that the end result for the reason they did it is a resounding success. So their strategy was not focused in regulating behavior.
"The 207,130 images collected were reduced to the 108,312 OCT images (from 4686 patients) and used for training the AI platform. Another subset of 633 patients not in the training set was collected based on a sample size requirement of 583 patients to detect sensitivity and specificity at 0.05 marginal error and 95% confidence. The test images (n = 1000) were used to evaluate model and human expert performance." --

This really affects me. I have asthma throughout my life and it shows. I think it has made me more sedentary throughout my life.

I have actually breathed really well once when I was doing work halfway inside a server farm at Alcatel Lucent (it was one of the monitor rooms so it wasn't noisy).

I can notice the air in my house is not fit to breathe and I buy hepa filters for my house.

I have thought about using an oxygen tank or some respirator and seeing if that had any measurable affect .

I just had an asthma attack today because someone spilled toner on the ground.
I don't think politics is about party allegiances. I think politics is about caring which dynamics your society operates with and taking whatever actions you can to influence them. Many conflate this with voting for parties but that is only one way of taking action out of many. Sure, it's similar to religion in that your desired social structure depends on your adopted ideology. But, whether you think it or not, you have an ideology - you can't not have one.

My argument is that, if you don't act, you are effectively siding with the dominant ideology of the current social structure. Being comfortable with the current structure, whether or not you agree with it, is something only pretty well off people can afford to do. Most of us won't fight to end the wars and the wars won't have any impact on our lives, while many people's lives will be utterly ruined by them. Many others may not necessarily act against the structure they disagree with, even if they are not well off, but this is thanks to a culture which tends to make it impossible for them. Bringing politics into the workplace can get you fired in a lot of places, and there's a good reason why that's the case. We should not be cheering it on.

"Saying you are left wing or saying you are right wing wont get you a job"

This is usually true, but saying it can get you fired (or not hired in the first place), and this is a problem. Workers could end wars if they were political in the workplace, as they have in the past. We need to acknowledge that power and prevent it from being suppressed.

> Personally, I learned Vipassana (and Jhana) meditation by myself, by reading and experimenting. I've since encountered advanced Buddhist mediators (abbots of Buddhist monasteries etc) who 'confirmed' I'm "doing it right" (fwiw, I wasn't really looking for validation or advice, it just came up in conversation). They didn't seem surprised I taught myself. So I doubt it is that uncommon. If the only way to learn to 'hack' is to attend a 10 day course, that isn't much of a 'hack' in the first place.

Very commendable. Could you please share what you read that was most effective. How much did you practice every day. A brief overview please?
If you are basing this on the idea that something that can store a graph is a graph database, I'm not sure that definition really holds up.

It has been argued -- for example by Neo4j, which is one of the leading graph databases -- that index-free adjacency is an essential feature for any real graph database, or as they put it, "Index-free adjacency is the key differentiatior of native graph processing." https://neo4j.com/blog/why-graph-databases-are-the-future/

By my reading, this system doesn't feature index-free adjacency as it uses relational tables as the substrate for edges. Thus EdgeDB won't be especially well suited type of graph traversals and queries that people actually select graph databases for. Which seems like a compelling reason not to identify it as a graph database.
Agreed, though this is not necessarily bad. Ideally, dating apps let us crudely filter for some of the things we're looking for, so that the relative value of interacting with the random people with whom we are physically nearby goes down.

Also, after getting lots of experience with dating using apps, asking people on a first date in meatspace gets much easier (even if there is no exactly analagous sitaution in online dating).

Perhaps, that's one way to compare non-inferiority. Few if any primary care physicians take the time to look in ones eye (don't know how to use direct ophthalmoscope, don't have other specialized fundus cameras in clinic). Given that, if this tool forces them to take more retinal photographs of all patients, maybe we could detect diabetic disease before it is usually seen.

The standard practice today is that if a patient is determined to be diabetic then they get referred to an ophthalmologist visit once a year. In that case would comparing those rates of diagnosis be useful?
Antitrust law, specifically the Sherman Antitrust Act, does not talk about customers as much as "protecting consumers" from "abuses", broadly defined. In my discussions in New York political circles, many see a Facebook antitrust case as a paved road to a Governorship.

"one out of every four buildings in the Bay Area might not be usable after a magnitude 7 earthquake"

"At a time when the average price of a home in San Francisco is above $1.2 million..."

Why aren't people pricing in an earthquake discount? This is so totally irrational, housing in SF should be cheaper given the certain risk of an earthquake and consequent large probability of severe damage. And even if your house isn't destroyed, good luck finding a contractor post-earthquake. Even now contractors are so hard to find, over priced, and many do shoddy work, I can't imagine why people don't see this coming and stop paying this much for something that may fall down any day now.

This is mainly true in competitive markets. Markets aren’t always competitive. We could argue we live in an oligarchy which isn’t as competitive as we are taught.
Surely it's not unheard of, but as a former 'consultant' I would always be amazed that the client hadn't documented their workflow by the time we showed up. We'd usually have a team of BA's work with the client for a few months before code was written, all because the management didn't know how their business ran. Reading between the lines here, it seems that perhaps the IRS is in a similar situation, and the only canonical source of truth for how things work is encoded in the assembler source code.
Monad OS
Why can't we just have all the best software in one place? It's seems incredibly stupid to have to choose between openBSD, FreeBSD and SmartOS. Why can’t we just combine all the best features of these operating systems into a single platform? Sounds a bit crazy but entertain the idea for a moment while I explain.

What I want from each operating system (FreeBSD - LLVM/CLANG, KERNEL/most of BASE) (openBSD - openSSH, LibreSSL, PF, openNTPD, TMUX, HTTPD) (SmartOS - Zones, KVM, ZFS, Containers, pkgsrc)… Generally speaking I would like to cut out as much cruft as possible allowing the user to start with a minimal OS and build up from that point. This would mean only incorporating a single default for all the necessary components of the operating system where applicable. One kernel, shell, file system, package manager, firewall, compiler etc…

Most of this can be done with the added benefit of removing 99% of GNU’s crapware. I’m not a hardcore software engineer so forgive me if this comes across as blasphemous I’m a designer 1st and programmer 2nd.

I have personal experience with all of these operating systems especially freeBSD and while I can do most of this stuff on freeBSD it’s now quite the same as having the competing solution or close integration.

This blog post asserts that Mode Studio supports R Notebooks. It's worth noting that these don't appear to have anything to do with the R Notebooks that you get in RStudio[0].

They appear to be identical to its Python notebooks except for the language, like running a Jupyter with an R kernel.

> Vietnam?

The Viet Minh had substantial outside support in its successful campaigns (the allies against Japan in WWII, and then the PRC against France in the First Indochina War), the Viet Cong were crushed even with substantial outside support, and the NVA weren't anti-government insurgents, so unless you mean something in Vietnam other than the conflict of the 1940s through 1970s, I don't think it counts.
I like web-based readers, because that's just what I'm used to. I like things extremely simple, with a few extra features. For instance, I just want to see my feeds right away when I go there in a nice big list, not a constant stream of articles. I do use folders for my feeds. I'd like an RSS reader to provide some kind of filtering and an easy subscribe bookmarklet, but that's pretty much it for the extra features.
Yeah you are right, looking at the financials this is where most of their revenue comes from.

I have just seen too many people (incl.family members) fall deep into CC debt I'm probably biased.
One issue is with diverging values and rules.

If national sovereignty overrides everything, one country mandates X, and another mandates not-X - then that's not compatible with a globally connected internet; since each of them will require the "other" thing to be removed from "their" internet, and that leads to segmentation, blocking and separation.

What do you do when country A requires all maps to show that some territory belongs to them, and country B requires the same?

What do you do when country A requires particular data to be stored so that they have access to it, and country B requires that the same data is stored so that country A does not have access to it?

What if country A wants people to be say X without restrictions, and country B wants everyone to be prohibited from saying X?

If you separate everything cleanly into "areas of sovereignty" then you can't really have a single, globally connected, integrated internet, as services/content can't satisfy all conflicting requirements and thus be available everywhere the same; if you do not, then the sovereignty of at least some countries will be limited. For me, the best solution would be if we could come to some agreement about some global, universal rules/principles for the internet, but that inevitably requires countries to hand over some of their sovereignty and abstain from any making requirements contrary to these rules.

Yeah from the article:

> IDx-DR founder Michael Abràmoff told Science News. “It makes the clinical decision on its own.”

But I would guess a specialist would still need to be involved since it's not a fool-proof system. A specialist might take other symptoms or variables into account when making the diagnosis or order further tests. While this tool might be useful for blanket screening considering that it is harmless, it seems like it's hardly going to be "making the decision on its own" and prescribing treatment.
Your claim that Heidegger wasn't the most influential 20th Century Continental philosopher runs counter to mainstream scholarship in the field.

Levinas, Foucault, and Derrida were all influenced by Heidegger. You would be hard pressed to find a 20th Century Contintenal philosopher who wasn't.

Heidegger was hugely influential, and also a Nazi (which should not be overlooked, but it should also not be used to try to erase his contribution to philosophy).
That's a great suggestion! Thanks. We're doing parts of it, but I just need to expand it to work with docker-compose.

Answering your question to my satisfaction is difficult from a single source, but here are some key points and source links that may help:

* "Can Blockstack control my data or ID when I use it?
No. When you're using a Blockstack client you control your data and ID with a private key. This private key never leaves your device and is meant to stay on your laptop/phone. As long as no one gets access to your private key, no one can control your data or ID. When you use Blockstack, by design, your private keys are never sent to any remote servers." [https://blockstack.org/faq]

* "The main difference between blockchain identities and accounts on any other service is that blockchain-based systems have strong ownership. Blockchain identities can't be confiscated by any service because the system defines ownership according to ownership of public-private keypairs, just like ownership of coins on Bitcoin. This is in direct contrast to Twitter or Facebook usernames, which could be confiscated or censored at any time by the respective companies that they belong to." [https://blockstack.org/posts/blockchain-identity]

* "Identity is user-controlled and utilizes the blockchain for secure management of keys, devices and usernames. When users login with apps, they are anonymous by default and use an app-specific key, but their full identity can be revealed and proven at any time. Keys are for signing and encryption and can be changed as devices need to be added or removed." [https://blockstack.org/intro]
> On this we agree. The question is, how seriously does security deserve to be taken in this case?

Well consider exactly what 7-zip is: its a plugin to explorer.exe that will always be running. Its embedded into your "right click" button and is running at all times.

Any code that takes over 7-zip can take over explorer.exe on your typical use of 7-zip. I personally think its position as a explorer.exe plugin demands some kind of security posture.
