The cities must apply the law. The law says you cannot make so much noise when people tries to rest. That's all. There are plenty of hours in the day to make noise without disturbing others and breaking laws.

Why has this abuse being running for 20 years? That's a good question. But if someone threw garbage on your property, your answer won't be that "property values should already have adjusted". You just call the police, don't you?
Hey,I'm at lecture 2.6,you're talking about the recognition of faces and it's relationship with the holistic image view/image processing.

So, can I go ahead and abstract out the ability of mind being discussed? Basically, given a category, this vision processing module in brain is processing different features of the image(here feature in the machine learning sense). And these categories can be hierarchical. Like faces, humans, creatures, this can be a hierarchy that the brain may be referring to when it is trying to identify a face and switches to the mode where it needs a holistic image view rather than some isolated parts of brain. I understand that imagining how this happens biologically(physiologically) is hard for me.

My question is, am I correct in the above inference? I want to suggest an experiment now :D :P

Hi Rick,

I'm the director of sales at an insurance brokerage. I spend a lot of my time thinking about how we can get more prospects into our funnel, and once they're there, how to convert them into a sale-- (apologies for the business jargon, I actually really care about my clients lol)

Let me start with some of the things I feel you are doing correctly. You have a content blog- excellent! Now people who are hunting for info can discover you as a source of reliable and useful insight. How many readers do you get per week? How many people email or comment and engage in a conversation with you? These are valuable metrics, and they should be increased through any means possible.

Your website is clean and flows well. Your pricing is rational. And your understanding of needing sales is also a prerequesite for selling, usually :)

Here's some of the things I need help understanding about your site--

1) What results does your tool deliver? I am reading the list of things it does, but at best I feel like this is a competitive, commoditized market. If your tool can promise me more users and more retention of users, then I would be inclined to start the free trial.

2) Where can I see your tool in action? I think most people are a bit hesitant to start a trial of something, even if its free, of something that they don't understand why they should be using it. Make a youtube blog about things you enjoy explaining, but also make a youtube video that clearly and quickly demonstrates your product. This would encourage me to use your demo today.

3) You have a lot of users-- congrats! How often do you pitch them the paid version? What level of information do you have about your users? It sucks sometimes feeling like you have to proactively poke and prod your users into considering going to the paid version, but many users will appreciate that you are reaching out to offer them a customized success experience. Most of your sales will come from your free tier of users-- how many users are you willing to get in front of with a full on sales presentation in order to make money, at the expense of pissing a few people off for being "too pushy"?

Good luck, I'd be happy to help, let me know if I should email you
I don't think you understand how different things are in the developing world. It took me 5 years and an international flight for them to the US just to make my parents understand the difference between pursuing a degree in CS and pursuing a degree in typing.

It's not that they are ignorant, it's a lack of exposure and also just tough circumstances that may make it seem unrealistic.

I totally understand the point he is making.

Healthy food isn't really more expensive. The price of the food depends a lot more on the shop it's being sold in than the particular item.

Nah, I think it really comes down to a mix of:

1. Many poorer people have jobs with longer/more awkward hours, and it's easier to buy unhealthy food in a rush/at an inconvenient time. Your local greengrocers/butchers shop/whatever likely closes at about 5PM whereas the corner shop stays open till the wee hours of the morning/doesn't close at all. And if you're in a rush, unhealthy food is often quicker to prepare/sold prepared based on whether you're talking microwave dinners or fast food.

2. Many poorer areas are food deserts, or at least have a lack of decent shops. For instance, over where I currently live, there are about 4 different supermarkets, local grocery shops, butcher's shops, bakeries, fishmongers, etc and every other kind of place to buy food you can imagine.

This means it's somewhat convenient to buy something healthy at almost any time of day.

On the other hand, if your only choices in walking distance are a corner shop, petrol station or pound store, the choices for healthy food are a fair bit less, and its more convenient to buy something unhealthy than travel to the shops elsewhere.
I'm not sure why or how it came up with cubic-bezier(0.445, 0.05, 0.55, 0.95) for easeInOutSine.

A more accurate representation of this piece of sin(t) would be cubic-bezier((pi - 2)/pi, 0, 1 - (pi - 2)/pi, 1) which evaluates to cubic-bezier(0.3633802276324187, 0, 0.6366197723675813, 1). (round where necessary)

This way, the tangents at the start and end remain horizontal. This also matches the function (1 - cos (pi x)) / 2 with a root mean square error of only about 0.000224528.

If you want to optimize excessively (why not?), you can minimize this error to about 0.00013 with cubic-bezier(0.364212423249, 0, 0.635787576751, 1). However, there is no closed form for these values as you end up attempting to integrate the cosine of a cubic polynomial.

It's quite an interesting study to read, and not long. I recommend giving it a few minutes to answer that question.
I will have personally invested $110k (by 2019) at age 23. All of my retirement accounts (401k, T-IRA, HSA) are invested in ETFs (0.06 expense ratio average) and a few actively managed funds with 20+% returned from 3YR-5YR view.

The rest is invested in individual stocks and high-risk mutual funds. Once I am 30, I will start pumping more into ETFs (stocks and add in bonds).

I absolutely love the advice. Everyone is different but I try to be as risky as possible with at least 40-50% of my portfolio until I am 30.

Two possible changes to my strategy will be if I build a good software product/business that makes more income. I will divert the money put into risky investing and dump it into my products/business. The other change is buying a home ($100-250,000). I want to raise backyard chickens!
These type of results are a consequence of game theory. Given that, I dont know what a popular psychology professor is doing speaking on this subject.
Thinking that the only reason poor kids would prefer to eat the first marshmallow due to having a low willpower is incredibly shallow: what if the kid had an experience in life that tells him that no matter how credible the source is, the second marshmallow has a huge probability of never coming; or for what's it worth - they'll take away both of them since the child tried to be "smart”?

Edit: came here to attack the article, but turns out my opinion is actially the opinion of the article in the first place. They actually do say that this test is not actually a test of willpower.
I am sorry but I disagree with you a little even though I mostly agree with you.

I sincerely believe people who have more than one child (perhaps with exceptions for natural twins and so on which I assume is rare) ought to be increasingly more responsible for their children. Once you have a hockey team over several years (not one of those rare cases of twins or triplets) I am honestly able to look at someone's eyes and say "you're on your own, buddy". However, that is besides the point.

The point is that we can reduce the cost of college. It is already absurd that state universities have to compete against the likes of Colgate and Colorado College. We can and must reduce regulatory burden on our state schools while requiring drastic cutdowns in spending on non-essentials. We don't need a big football team in any state school. We don't need an athletic complex. Strip away anything that isn't related to actual education or scientific research. No school has an airport. No school has a rocket launch pad. Why do we need multi-million dollar sports centers or dormitories? Why do we need a police force? Cut pay for all administration and force them to be at or below the pay for a tenured professor. In fact, get rid of most of the administration. A lot of the things they do is simply not the job of an educational institution. If the likes of Harvard and Yale want to do those things they are more than welcome. However, keeping costs low should be a primary concern for state schools and we should empower as well as require them to do so.
In Australia you could be on around $500 pp (if you don’t live as a dependant) a fortnight paid all year (even on holiday) +2k p/y for books and the degree itself you start paying back only after you earn 40k.

She would get more from having dependants, it’s definitely super tough but doable if you can work during break with the ~$20 min wage as it wouldn’t affect payments.

Although it sucks seeing a University doing all this the silver lining really is that the worst bits of America really do bring out the best in these people that help.
As a matter of programming, it is very hard to actually put the stamp in the circle. The northwest arc ends up lining up with the tail of the mouse pointer.

Especially since making copies of the ballot without a sample watermark might be illegal (I would expect it to be, but I haven't checked.)

In Turkey, your vote is private. If our employer is asking for a photo of your ballot so as to coerce you to vote a certain way to protect your job, you might want to consider reporting them to the prosecutor's office, police, or the elections council.

>But the Marshmallow Test is a test!

>, so there's an obvious _correct_ answer

>because they are motivated to do _well_

>not _pass_ it.

Again, you're still misinterpreting the word "test" in "Marshmallow Test". (Also keep in mind that "marshmallow test" isn't what the Stanford researchers called it.[1] The "Marshmallow Test" was only colloquial shorthand for behavioral experiments.)

When you use the phrases "correct", "do well", "pass", it means you're repeating the same mistake of applying your post-hoc reasoning of "test" to 4-year old brains.

Thinking that "waiting for 2 marshmallows" is the _correct_ answer is the wrong framework to use.

This is not a school test where "2+3" where "5" is correct and "8" is incorrect.

This is a psychological test where "test" means a contrived social apparatus to observe behavioral choices. This means that "choosing not to wait and immediately consume 1 marshmallow" is also the _correct_ answer.

The child is given a choice where he/she must weigh an uncertain future with a certain present desire. There is no right or wrong answer. There is no pass or fail. There are only choices and observations of those choices.

For example, one of the criticisms of the "Marshmallow Experiment" is that the researchers were actually measuring "trust & reliability of adults" vs "delayed gratification". In other words, the way we label the behavorial experiments will distort our view of what we think the "correct" answer is.

E.g. if Johnny was told in the past by his mother that if he stopped pulling his sister's hair in the car, he'd get a treat when they got home. However, his monther didn't followup on that promise. Therefore, when the researcher gives him a choice between 1 marshmallow now or 2 if he waited until later, it means the 4-year old's "optimization" of the uncertain future is to take the 1 marshmallow now. This is the "correct" answer for him.

@Synaesthesia, True. You could recreate the effects using Photoshop. And yet, you could create many more images in the same amount of time using the rig. With the rig you're working at the time of image capture to discover what's an interesting image in low-resolution without preconception. Magic! Conversely, using Photoshop you're working to draw, paint, this low-resolution style onto an existing photo.
OTP is the standard distribution & library of Erlang, and most of the fault tolerance is either that or the core Erlang runtime e.g. supervisors are part of the standard library[0] and the underlying systems are basically built into the language[1].

Distribution is likewise built into the runtime and language, most of the distribution-related BIFs are not only part of the "erlang" module/namespace but also part of its "prelude" (auto-imported in all modules by default).

So no, it is absolutely nothing like kubernetes in relation to go.

This erosion is anecdotally real to me among some friends and family. A pattern I’ve noticed: when people are physically far removed from the people doing this scientific research, they trust the science less.

Think of it as Scientists Without Borders, but for places in the USA / pick your developed nation.

What if more people employed in scientific research lived in places where little scientific research traditionally happened? I’m talking towns without big research universities, and without companies doing much scientific work. Encourage scientists whose work can be done remotely to move there.

One massive upside: cost of living is much lower. An NIH grant goes a lot further to house, clothe, and feed a researcher anywhere in Iowa - whether in the same city as a large university or a small rural town - than it does in most populated parts of California.

By getting employed scientists living in communities that typically do not have many scientists, they become neighbors and have the spontaneous conversations with people in the community - at cookouts, at town events - which can help restore trust and understanding of science by having direct knowledge of someone doing that work every day.

Someone typically trusts their neighbor they’ve lived beside for 15 years more than the new neighbor who just moved in, and there’s likely no easy shortcut to rebuilding that trust, although it can be broken by institutions with a vested interest in breaking trust.

Get fast internet everywhere and encourage people who can move to get jobs there, and two parts of the challenges of making this a reality are gone. The ease of meeting and networking with new people when living in a place that’s more densely populated with scientists still wouldn’t quite be solved, though...
Agreed! I have a template built that allows me to spin up a basic web app with all my baseline common dependencies ready to go and a handful of little nice-to-haves in place and deploy to Heroku in well under an hour. I love Rails!
Awesome video! Really worth the watch until the end, with the interesting mix of explaining an electronics project, philosphy, AI and brain augmentation.

Cartridges with CPUs inside is not new and was used in real games.

The website or video description could use a bit more context around it:

-In the youtube video, how is one to know tom7 refers to the author when his youtube name is suckerpinch.

-On the website, how is one to know what this is about when it's just talking about "some project that was 24 hours backdated and blah blah...", and in the further text still doesn't explain what it is, just things like "it was presented in seattle" etc...
In greece, said tourists are limited into specific resort towns where they can enjoy their general raucousness and binge drinking from their morning breakfast till almost the next one without generally infesting the streets of working people. I don't know why barcelona does not do that - they can arrange that with tour operators.

On iOS it's not possible to seamlessly integrate any custom UI drawing with OS animations (keyboard, rotation). This means that certain types of apps will never feel right on the platform, which should significantly limit usability of the framework outside of Android and desktop.
Google has a set of contradicting requirements for the interface they've got on their website.

From one side it's along the natural-language interface from Alexa or alike; from the other side it's an interface of search for people who generally need access to information.

If Google exposed interfaces similar to Elastic Search - the search would never be an issue anymore; but it would not be easy to use by the users.

Ask HN: A single compose interface for email, notes, posts etc?
Whenever I have a thought or an idea, I find the decision of which app to open to write it down (Evernote? Twitter? Medium? Email? Todo? Wiki? Google Doc?) ends up interrupting the flow of thoughts.

I've been looking for a single compose interface (preferably something like the quick "Save to Evernote" popup window that is accessible from the Mac menubar. Something where I can first take down my idea/note/thought/message, and then select how to store/share it: e.g. store as note, create todo, send as email, tweet, start document, Medium post etc.

Does such a universal compose tool exist? If not, do you think it will be worthwhile for someone to create one?

To a large extent, sure, but this kind of norm-signaling is also actually effective as a change-driver in Japan.

For instance, I can't believe how fast Tokyo converted to nonsmoking restaurants. When I got back here in 2008, after a decade in California, literally every restaurant I ever went to in the first 2 years still allowed smoking. But then around 2009 or 2010 it was like "blah blah government initiative to reduce public smoking". Nothing much changed for a while, but fast forward to this year, and — despite eating at least one meal out every day — I haven't experienced that even one time.

A similar thing happened for paternity leave, here, and I witnessed the push for compliance at a previous employer. About a decade ago the government issued some statements like "hmm something something paternity leave", then regulations were issued but with large loopholes for several years to give companies time to come into compliance, and now, maybe not boom! but like (... booooooooooom...) it's basically Germany. You totally can take 18 months of paid paternity leave (not full-salary, but something like $2400 a month, same as women get), and companies are not allowed to refuse you.

So yes, the problem is cultural and not regulatory, as you say in the sibling thread, but at the same time this kind of thing is how the culture starts to change in Japan.

Official statement about problem X, then NHK covers it, then people start to talk about it at lunch, the companies form internal working groups to address it... it takes a long time, but I'd bet lots of companies in Japan are already scheduling manager meetings to talk about how to handle this issue (and yes, probably scheduled after normal business hours without anybody noticing the irony...)
Your question is a good one. The zeitgeist in the US has been for years that we at are all the same and "rockstars" just try harder. In reality, not everyone wants to be that, and not every team needs that.
Microsoft Has Discussed Buying GitHub
So you believe that local culture consist of a lot of people getting drunk and shouting?

This has nothing to do with gentrification. Most neighborhoods that suffer this problem are working or middle class. Try doing that in rich quarters and see what happens.

The problem started long ago, aprox. 30 years. You could open a "tavern" with very few permits needed (and limited hours) or you could open a "pub", that you must isolate and comply with many regulations, and you set your hours, no matter the council.

Guess what many did and got a quick buck. Authorities turned a blind eye for the sake of tourism. When hours are enforced, people just go shop strong alcohol and drink in the streets. That generated a very bad problem years ago and there is a law against that.
So keeping the noise down late at night now constitutes neutering a vibrant public space? Living in a city may require tolerating noise and crowds but it also requires being mindful of how your activities affect others.
