Stack Overflow largely relies on Google Search, but for private teams it won't be available. And internal search is just unreliable.

Also I fail to see how answers on SO for Teams are supposed to be less "stale" than your old wiki articles.

For me, at least our corporate wiki is more organized, without duplicates, whereas Stack Overflow's modus operandi is largely relies on creating thousands of duplicated questions.
Exactly. That Aston Martin could be part of why he is broke.

You never know what someone is going through. In fact, odds are the more you percieve a person has having "it all together", the further off the mark you likely are. This is true for the simple reason that everyone struggles with something.

"Empathy" is a good word here. I think we tend to decide how much of our empathy we believe a person deserves based on our own perception of "how well they're doing", particularly relative to ourselves. The truth is, we should always start with empathy and grace, though that's often easier said than done.

So, thanks for inserting that word. Needed the reminder myself.
Hence why the question should be and is limited to ages 25-54 year olds. A "retired" 25 year old should be included in the definition of unemployment.

However, the 25-54 unemployment rate (the opposite of the "employment rate") is not calculated by state or locality in the US.
IMO the conference market has taken a hit in general prior to the Trump administration. For the previous several years, attendance and sponsorships were trending down, it seemed like most companies budgets were being pulled from onsite training to virtual and sponsoring companies wanted to focus on their own niche mini show around their products only. We had a healthy percent of international attendees that came in every year, I can only imagine with sentiment being customs/immigration is getting worse for travelers, that would discourage attendees from coming in.
Oops. In the process of trying to decide whether to write leaflet or mapbox I confused the names.
Whenever anyone makes a recommendation you have to ask yourself: is this person making this recommendation because they have actually investigated the thing they are recommending and found it to have merit, or are they doing it simply because they are getting some personal benefit from making the recommendation. I hope I don't have to explain why a recommendation has much more value in the former case than the latter.

This may not matter much if the thing you're recommending is an email client. But it matters a lot if the thing you're recommending is, say, an investment in a startup company. It also matters a lot if you're, say, Amazon or Yelp or TripAdvisor and a big part of your stock in trade is an enormous volume of product recommendations.

I agree with your point about just a few on crude boats being needed for this outcome, but the log thing is probably a no-go. Even warm water below body temp will be enough to kill you from hypothermia before you can cross an ocean. Water conducts heat very well, so it would need to be a very quick trip. Crude boats or rafts though, or mats of vegetation could probably work given enough chances.

We couldn't have jumped from "close to a chimp" to homo sapiens. Evolution is a gradual thing, and if we've been largely the same for 400k years, then someone 400k years ago could look back another 400k years and also see someone that's largely the same. So whoever butchered that rhino would be much more like us than like a chimp.

> More likely the price of US gasoline will continue to drift slightly higher toward the rest of the world, as the exports bring the US closer to a normalization with everyone else (emphasis on closer). Those exports are seeking higher prices internationally, which will result in at least somewhat higher domestic prices (dramatically less domestic captive supply).

Crude oil prices are not that dissimilar, European Crude Oil trades only $5/barrel more than WTI (US Oklahoma) Oil. The main reason for the huge difference in prices is taxes. The US has hardly any tax on gasoline whereas in many European countries, taxes make up 60-80% of the fuel price (fuel taxes plus VAT). If you strip out taxes, gasoline in Europe isn't much more expensive than it is in the US. That's also why gasoline prices in the US react sharply in the US if crude oil prices fluctuate whereas in Europe, they usually don't move by more than 10-20%.
The title is wrong, then :)

I don't get why people are worried about this. This is Amazon's problem to solve and a core challenge of running an open marketplace. Let them deal with it. I'm worried that Amazon will use their power to unfairly compete with all of retail since they already control so much of e-commerce. I don't understand why tech folks aren't more worried about the concentration of market power in amazon & facebook.

I also find Tegmark's (and to an extent Schmidhuber's) multiverse theories attractive, I'm quite leaning towards believing they must be true.

But, if I'm not mistaken, the multiverse hypothesized by Hawkin, and the usual multiverse from String theory is not this mathematical multiverse. In String theory multiverses, not every possible universe is allowed to exist, only universes satisfying string theory conditions. That's not to say those hypothesis are inconsistent -- the String thoery multiverse may exist within the "Mathematical multiverse". Once we accept that falsifiability isn't the only motivation to create theories (say by subscribing to MUH), then we need to accept that maybe our universe is also part of a larger non-observable universe, if and only if this provides a particularly "simple" explanation to our existence.
> They're now capable disrupting any market they choose.

Ehhh, I think you're really glossing over Amazon's failures here; they've tried to get into some markets and gotten pretty well demolished. If they've learned anything from those failures, it certainly isn't obvious.
You can actually. It's called a design patent. It's different than a utility patent because it's supposed to be non-functional. I haven't looked at the patents to see if they're design or utility patents though.

To add to the complications of picking the size of bets, you will always find that you can get more money matched on a loser than you can on a winner... so even after identifying 'value' bets and using Kelly to size your stakes, you may find out that you never quite get enough money on the winners and that will limit your profits too!

(Edit: getting the money matched only applies to bookies / betting exchanges, the equivalent problem for tote betting is that the price of winners will often be worse than your algorithms predicted)

At least in my experience.

I think this is because you work with some tremendously smart people and as such end up feeling inadequate in our own knowledge. You're pretty much required to work at a certain level as there is some expectation of your knowledge from other peers.
The truth is you are an imposter. No one fulfills the perfect ideal of whatever role they are playing (employee, manager, parent, etc). Recognize and accept that you're an imposter and continually reach for the ideal.

There are various stresses (will I lose my job? etc) that are reasonable and tangential to this idea of "imposter syndrome". The particular trick to avoiding stress _directly related_ to this imposter syndrome is to dismiss it as the scientifically unsound and useless idea that it is: that is to say, it shouldn't exist: or put another way, your self-worth doesn't _have_ to be derived from your capability, nor should it. Decouple your self-worth from your professional ability; this may be hard in general or in our particular culture/zeitgeist, but I think it's a losing battle any other way.

Is this actually likely to have a notable impact on the statistics? My understanding is that cases diagnosed later or discovered in autopsy will contribute just as much as cases diagnosed early. Assuming that such tumours aren't routinely missed in autopsies. I imagine improvements in early detection may result in a temporary increase due to the shifting phase of detection, but this wouldn't account for a doubling over twenty years.

This is plausible, but would imply that improvements like these would be more common in lower-house-cost areas, since they'd make a "bigger" difference. That doesn't seem to be the case.
I don't think I posited that though -- could you restate what you believed my thesis to be? I might just be a terrible writer and couldn't get my point across.

> To some coworkers I'm a programming expert. To a 30-year veteran sysadmin I'm a novice.

I agree with this -- but it was less about how others see you and how you see yourself. My point was that rather than claiming to be a programming expert, if you just get more specific about what you know, and keep good track of what you've learned/deep dove into at least once, and don't over-sell yourself, it is unlikely to feel like an impostor.

Regardless of your actual level of expertise, if you've literally taken the time to follow an interrupt through the kernel, or read the SMTP spec, you have those pieces of knowledge (though they may be rusty).

> The same goes for any skill or knowledge - musicianship, cooking etc. Only one person in the world is the best at something, and it's not reasonable to compare yourself to that person when there's billions of us.

This is kind of a weird claim and seems to contradict the first thing you said. Most non-trivial skills can't be boiled down to one person just being the undisputed "best" -- for the world to work that way, expertise would have to be some absolute-ish thing.

If I had to try and sum up your thesis:

Expertise is very much about perspective. An amateur may look like a superhero to one group, but a novice to another group.

If I had to sum up mine:

Expertise is how much of a finite space of known things you currently know.

The two theses seem orthogonal, I don't think we actually disagree.
That's probably insufficient for the usecase. A single AS can advertise many different routes for different IP blocks that have dramatic geographic differences.

Or maybe I'm missing something and GH already offers a ready to consume summary
So... those seven years of research don't allow you to give any specifics on how it will scale? Just "believe me"? I think that's what all the sceptics (including me) are worried about: lots of hyperbole and wishful thinking, but no specifics; grand claims about applicability that vanish as soon as you asked for details or how exactly it solves a problem, and the major problems just being handwaved away with a "don't worry, it'll work in the future".

If it every works as a money transfer network, a store of value, or actually solves any of my other problems in more efficient way than other solutions, then I'll use it then. No need for me to speculate on it now.

Indexing is an asynchronous process so while the data won't be deleted as soon as the deletion API call returns, the data will be deleted shortly after. Usually we're talking about hundreds of milliseconds or a few seconds. This is pretty much the same for all search-engines.

Algolia also exposes a "task" API endpoint to check the state of an indexing operation and to be able to "wait" until the operation has actually been processed. This is for instance what is used in unit tests where we need to wait until the indexing operation has been processed to continue testing.

Then for GDPR; if one of Algolia's customers receives a "personal data deletion" request on their side, it's of course their responsibility to forward it to Algolia using the deletion API (and a few seconds later it will be removed from all indices).

Others are free to disagree with this, but I believe corporations being so large and so profitable that they have no choice but to enter multiple markets, or to do increasingly more ethically questionable things in order to keep increasing the quarterly profits and revenues, is all because of a weak anti-trust system and weak anti-trust legislation.

Companies should not be allowed to grow so large and so powerful that they can threaten multiple industries at once. I'm not necessarily saying they should be broken up as soon as they pass say $50 a year billion a year in revenues, but at the very least they should be disallowed from buying any other company as soon as they pass a similar mark or as soon as certain conditions for it being in "anti-trust mode" are met.

How are we going to have real competition in say AI, if Google keeps buying all the promising startups that come up with breakthrough AI technologies? Same for Facebook buying Instagram and WhatsApp. And now Amazon is doing the same thing.

The only answer to that right now is "maybe we're lucky and some other large corporation will buy that startup instead?" But that doesn't make me feel much better.

In the end, it all leads to at least an oligopoly across multiple industries, and a monopoly in specific industries. That's not good for consumers.

And I won't even go into how this much power and money concentrated into singular entities is bad for democracies, too. Even if you don't believe that these rich people and companies are literally buying the politicians and their votes, at the very least you should agree that they have disproportionate leverage in the government, for the same reason big banks do.

A more decentralized marketplace made-up of many more smaller companies is much better for consumers and democracies, too.
