I have no idea, but I would think the sports department of any college would be run more like a profit generating business (or any losses would be tracked, but treated like "advertising" or investment in "prestige").

We tend to think of inflation and spending power as something that changes over time and affects all goods equally, but this is one of the big problems education and healthcare share; they're driven by humans. Food, furniture, and clothes have dropped in cost significantly over 100 years and the productivity of a single worker has skyrocketed. Education and healthcare have very similar ratios of patient:doctor and student:teacher over the past 100 years, so those higher salaries affect the cost. There's been a lot of talk that the true cost of teachers has been historically undervalued since women were discriminated out of most other jobs (this may not necessarily apply to colleges). Now that women have more opportunities, there's more pressure to pay the true cost of these teachers.

I do realize that colleges have push for fewer tenured professors, brought on more TAs and temporary teachers, and administrative headcount has ballooned. But that hasn't had anywhere near the magnitude of change most other industries have made.

Everyone knows you go to business school to network and a other degrees are branding (if they have X degree from school Y, you're confident they've they've met some bar). Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it'd be an uphill climb to disrupt that. Even if they get replaced, I can only see it happening by another monolithic institution that would carry all of the baggage associated with that. I think Coursera has been making very strong efforts for many years, but still hasn't found a successful model.
Why be bothered by the essential oils link? Her own experimentation demonstrates it doesn't really kill germs but might kinda, with her hedging her own results [1] so she's not preaching psuedo-science here.

I think essential oils smell good, so I add a drop or two to my homemade cleaners or hair products for example. Not everyone uses them for homeopathy.

EDIT: Here she is hedging her experiment, she seems properly cautious: "I can't be certain if the product is actually killing the bacteria or if it has just somehow stopped the bacteria from growing. I also can't tell how long it takes to kill the bacteria since the product is picked up on the swab and remains with the bacteria on the agar plate during the entire incubation time."

> An easier and more robust solution is to have expiring laws. Laws require a 'refresh' 2, 4 and then each 8 years after they're passed. If at any point they do not receive the a majority vote, they're scrapped.

I guess the question this proposal raises is if congress would actually review the laws, or just blanket renew everything, except when they're exceptionally dysfunctional. If the renewal comes late, does it still count as a renewal or is a new law, starting at 2 years?
I have tried to force #2 at a couple of places. Sometimes it works out, people junior to me almost always enjoyed their experience, but not always my peers or 'superiors'. It's a constant battle, and what's the reward for proving to a bunch of people that #1 is wrong? You don't even get a gold star.

It would be a better use of my time to find a 1.5 place and make it into a strong 2. Or a place that's already a 2 and make it even better. Let the market sort out the rest.
I love stories like this. A few months ago, my daughter was born and was named after the main character in a Philip Pullman series. He tweeted a welcome message to her! https://twitter.com/PhilipPullman/status/946678534776516608 One of the weirdest, most amazing internet moments for me.
It’s my experience of 20 yrs in IT/office life that 1) is a result of lifelong cultural pressure to obsess over other people’s needs and dreams (enabled IMO by a fertile history of pushing religious nonsense on people, it seems perfectly socially acceptable then)

And that 2) is the view that arises when that cultural pressure is mitigated

It’s follow daddy’s orders/daddy knows best wrapped in economics and math and history that tries to say see look all this work by humans in a closed room proves this is how an economy should work

It’s religious in that no one knows how it works but we’re convinced it’s right

Having not been raised in a church and growing up in a remote place studying physics and electronics since I was 8 with my grandpa who grew up similarly in the 30s... the blind allegiance to such nonsense has struck me as utterly bizarre

“I’ve never looked. I just keep believing what they say.”

Nocebo effect in action

Google Varoufakis’s talk about the meetings during Greeks debt crisis. They had no theory or clue; they just wrote math that worked for the context in question— “Greek must lose and investors must win.”

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not talking about basic human needs being met. I’m talking about caring about Steve Jobs as if he’s was a child and enabling his childlike tantrums to hold so much sway over our reality.
Do you have any evidence to support that? I would argue that that scenario is way less likely than ICE / oil companies spending resources on a negative campaign givsn the current trend of negative Tesla stories making it to the national news, where as the positive ones do not to the same effect.
I mean, if they had a decent app I wouldn’t worry, but why they offer can’t be compared to Tweetbot and others.

Simply put, Jesus is not an abstract concept, so by the definition I find at wiktionary, there can't be no allegory of the Jesus. It's not "the jesus". Abstract nouns require the definite articles, I learned in school.

So back to Tolkin. He was a linguist, so I guess he preferred to say things directly. If there are nebulous, abstract allegories to be seen, then because the concepts were intentionally not defined.

Rebirth is not an allegory for rebirth. What would the allegory be. Being chosen? Well, yeah, by the author.
I'm also skeptical of the influence of private prisons on criminal policy (mostly just because voters unfortunately seem to love putting people in prison regardless, no special lobbying required), but I think there are some interesting correlations at the state level.

For example, the 6 states with the lowest incarceration rates (New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Maine) have no private prisons. And 9 out of the 10 states with the highest incarceration rates do have private prisons.

I initially looked into making a browser extension but my reading of the Amazon Product Search API led me to believe it would be a violation of their terms of use. I have seen some similar extensions using their API since then which has made me reconsider.

I really didn't want to delve into this on here, but I suppose I should have assumed that a lot of people out there work for insurance companies. So here it goes...

It was a relatively small dental insurance company that had a reputation for being "for the little guy". To be honest I hadn't thought about it much before working there. But then I sat through meetings where they were actively trying to come up with strategies to get more single guys to sign up, and to keep mothers from signing up. They weren't even coy about it. All development went into signing certain people up, almost nothing went into helping people actually use it.

I blame the hospitals and the insurance companies both for the pricing arms race. I guess my big conceptual concern is how our society no longer makes anything, but just finds new ways of extracting money from each other. And besides housing market crashers and the bad actors on Wall Street (who should be in jail), I can't think of another industry that is completely built around a vague concept of money.

This will probably anger a lot of people, but it's just how I feel. I don't think everyone who works there is going to hell, it's just not something I was proud to say I was a part of. I didn't feel like I was contributing to something that was making the world better.

What's the downside or "the way of Japan"?

They had a terrible 20 year economic hangover due to a massive bubble poorly handled, and that definitely had massive negative social spillover effects. But over the past 15 years social surveys have shown increasing (and solidly net positive) happiness and satisfaction with the quality of life across all demographic groups except the extremely old. Notably, over the past decade Japanese life satisfaction levels are higher than the same surveys show in North America and Europe.

An economic system that depends on a pyramid model is ultimately unsustainable. I don't mean in the "there's a population bomb problem the planet's going to die unless we do something!" sense -- I don't in fact agree with that. But there's no reason why the system can't and ought not achieve balance.
I'd argue that "incel" is a specialized label, just like "antifa".

If you identify as an "incel", that's a more loaded point than just saying you are "involuntarily celibate". Similarly, you could say you are "against fascists" without implying all the connotations that go along with saying you are an "antifa".
In a #2 place the #1 people start to get marginalized. Some of them either keep a low profile or they wander off. The sort that don't do either can be problematic, but they need to have the numbers in their favor to succeed (votes, filibuster, etc), and you can chip away at their supporters.

Unless we move it into a class of things which include for example, public health or public safety, in general things that place a huge burden on a large number of individuals for the sake of a small number of individual beneficiaries. For example, we limit the claims that people can make for medicines, we don't require that individuals research every medicine that they take.

Maybe the danger of sports betting is so concealed that we can't expect that the bulk of consumers can realize that danger until they have already been hurt (I'm not making that claim.) Wouldn't you expect a government to regulate in that case?

This is interesting, I do have a few questions that I could not find in your FAQ:

- how do you provision the last mile? Copper? Fiber? or Wireless?

- Do you rely on the Local Exchanges? or is it on a case-by-case basis?

- Is your typical ISP customer selling to business? Individuals? or is best-fit an apartment complex/business building?

Thank you.
Looks down into the syllabus, I think you'll find 2.(a), 2.(b), and 2.(c) have the key components from their regard:

1) “Congress may not simply ‘commandeer the legislative process of the States by directly compelling them to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program.’”

and

2) "The distinction between compelling a State to enact legislation and prohibiting a State from enacting new laws is an empty one. The basic principle—that Congress cannot issue direct orders to state legislature—applies in either event."

3) "... since the Constitution “confers upon Congress the power to regulate individuals, not States,” ... "There is no way that the PASPA anti-authorization provision can be understood as a regulation of private actors. It does not confer any federal rights on private actors interested in conducting sports gambling operations or impose any federal restrictions on private actors."

From what I've read so far, this is fucking awesome. I have a couple questions about your "operators":

1. Do you mean Comcast/ATT i.e. is this only a last-mile solution that must connect to some hub of theirs?

2. "We don't sell personal information or throttle traffic (and our operators won't either)" - how do you know this is true now, will be true in the future, and if your operators are comcast/AT&T why did they agree to this? (given that they are hell incarnate and would sell a baby to satan for profit ;) )

>In other words, incels are right to see themselves as part of a novel and fairly extreme change in our society's sexual behavior, with a growing share of sexless young men.

While a lot of it, including the very name, revolves around sex, I think it is important to consider the lack of emotional intimacy such relationships provide and if there is any correlation between lack of any romantic partner ships and lack of close friendships. Completely lacking both would indicate a very isolated individual, which isn't good for mental health.

Also, most the data used looked at no sex within the last year which is quite different from never having had sex. At least in the part of society I'm familiar with, there is a massive difference in social status between a guy who just has bad luck dating, and someone with the label of virgin (especially once you leave young adulthood).
Airflow can run tasks written in languages besides Python in several ways, such as through the BashOperator, DockerOperator, dispatching a job to a Spark cluster, etc. It's common to use multiple languages.

It's really just the configuration for tasks, DAGs, etc that must be done in Python. I know some people have even automating that to pull from yaml or json instead, but I prefer to have the flexibility myself.

Jousting has to be at least as violent as two NFL players running full-bore at each other on a kick-off, and we know that's dangerous for CTE.

Also once you got to close-quarters on medieval battlefields, your center torso would be covered up pretty well with armor or a shield, so most of the injuries are coming underneath stabbing into the groin and legs. Or from above, bashing down on the head and shoulders with axes, maces, and hammery polearms.

I'm sure training was also a big component; thwacking each other with blunted blades would be rough when leather or wool padding is about the best you've got. Quarterstaffs were also popular - and that's not too far off from getting hit with a baseball bat. And for practicing jousting, the quintain is pretty much designed to punish you by smashing you in the back of the head with a sandbag.

It's just concussions all around.
Note that what "technical recruiters" want is not guaranteed to match what the hiring firms themselves want.

There may not be a great solution to this problem from an applicant's perspective (because if you fail to impress the recruiter, you may forfeit the opportunity to impress a manager in subsequent practice). Still, it's worth keeping in mind, not least because your ultimate success at the company depends more on what happens after the hire than before.

Porblem turns up with xsd dates. Applications added time zones in the +2:00 format. The oracle soap stack helpfully simplified everything to a datetime. Today this zone is the same for Brussels and Paris. So each server decided to convert it back to its native format, then causes trouble when it encounters the past.

I tried for a while to run my local development JVM with an insane default time zone, Japanese character set, etc.. I hoped to shake bugs out of my programs. Unfortunately, almost none of the libraries I have to use survived, so i had to change it back. Sure did find a lot of bugs ;-)

I was sort of an amoral little jerk when I was young. I was arrogant about being smarter than other people, but unhappy that I wasn't able to spend all my time doing what I wanted. I spent a year in a juvenile home for a first offence[1] after an evaluation by a psychologist went very badly.

I still remember once upon a time ome could long press icons/buttons and the hover text would appear. But oh well, it seems we are too far ahead in the future now.
Nice idea. Worth at least looking into the feasibility.
I'm sorry but clearly you have no idea what you're talking about.
This is interesting indeed and I appreciate the amount of work done, but honestly I don't see the point.

Yes, germs are everywhere (surprised?), so what?

First, you can't bleach all you house.

Second, even if you could, why do that? Our body seems to fight nasty stuff pretty well.
If you have some specific condition or disease, then just take targeted measures.
They should probably invest a bit of money in communicating that fact to the general public. For example, on the side of council recycling bins. I can't work out if my neighbours are ignorant or just lazy but it might help a little.
I agree wholeheartedly with your first paragraph! As an industry, we still don't have the first clue how to hire. It's not just you.

Where I differ is with your (admittedly contrived) example. I've interviewed dozens (hundreds?) of people over the years, and I can't say I've seen any correlation between passion and professionalism/competence/longevity.

I think "Hiring for passion" is the new "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". It's the CYA response. We have no clue if a hire is going to work out, but if they spend their weekends writing C# for fun, and they don't work out at our company, we can at least tell our bosses "They came across as so passionate during the interview -- we couldn't have known they would turn out to be a bad hire!"
Wow, I have the opposite experience, but I'm pretty accustomed to GMail and it's icons.

Up until this moment I'd been annoyed that my action bar in GMail was text-only after the update to the new interface. I was even wondering why the author was writing about the old GMail and went searching through the comments looking for others who were just as confused and checking GMail settings (it was there—I just missed it).

The icons are much easier (for me) to decipher upon quick glance, once I know their meanings. The text requires me to actually read the buttons before clicking, which is slower if I'm not doing it repetitively (like tagging/archiving a weeks worth of emails on a Friday).

That said, I'll always prefer a combination of icons and labels.

The chemicals in detergent are pretty powerfull (see Tide Pods Challenge).

Also, newer detergents contain enzymes which are particularly good at removing biological stains (but do they kill?) In fact, new washing machines also optimize their temperature profile so that they keep the water longer at ~30-40 degrees C, since this is the optimum temperature for enzymes.
Could be now getting more specialized/loaded, as the non-radicalized majority that could have been labeled by 'incel' label would probably like to distance from it (in a 'leave me alone!' way) - I guess Urban dictionary will have a term for them soon. Still, in the past few years 'incel' was just 'involuntary celibate' and grumpy about that.
for those who unlike the author aren't drawn to lazy and dismissive conclusions and are genuinely interested to study the beginning of this fascinating and terribly misunderstood era (in particular, it seems, in the Anglo-Saxon world) from a literary perspective, I recommend the following write up/compilation as a good starting point: https://pastebin.com/8ZgDV5mt

> A reference implementation was written in C as a baseline, which simply looped through an array of strings, comparing each one, byte-by-byte, looking for a prefix match.

This is a poor choice; the 1970s boyer-moore also is significantly faster for most case as it avoids many pointless searches. And if you have a dedicated search table you can optimize the search even more (e.g. pre-sorting keys and targets, using a more dedicated structure like a trie, etc)

I think these approaches would also be amenable to deliberate acceleration with intrinsics, as you did with your brute force search.

Regardless, interesting work.
