I'd like to think that this research will lead to insurance covering or subsidizing using a personal trainer, or for special programs to be put into place where an appointment can be made to go work out at the gym, in the same way you can make an appointment with a therapist or a psychiatrist.

It's one thing to say to a depressed individual "go lift weights, it will make you feel better." It's another thing to set up a series of appointments that are handled as seriously as medical appointments.
Agreed.

Furthermore, what is somewhat amazing is that, on a Good Day (or less depressed or in-remission day, or whatever one wants to call it), one can also look back on a Bad Day, just yesterday, and be mystified why that seemingly dead simple task [1], seemed completely overwhelming to the point of impossibility.

Like many diseases of the brain, including dementias and schizophrenia, the sufferer can seem and even be fully functional when the disease isn't (as) active, including being prone to falling for the same fallacies as everyone else.

In the throes of the symptoms, however, the brain just isn't working the same, so it's not fair, compassionate, nor reasonable to extrapolate about habit formation or responsibility from an unafflicted brain. It can get a bit too easy to blame the victim that way.

None of this is to say that encouraging good habit formation or increased patient self direction/determination can't be helpful, when possible. I'm just saying not to start with that as an assumption and that it likely isn't even possible for the more severe cases.

Nope, exactly. The measure of the interval [0, 1] excluding any countable subset (for example all rational numbers) is still exactly 1, that's usually what mathematicians mean by "almost every", here "almost every real number in [0, 1] is irrational" :)

GP spent a month in SF so I assumed they weren't a tourist. They also mentioned organic groceries so they included cooked meals in this.
Even if you eat out, you won't have to pay $40 for a healthy meal. You can get something good for $15-20, which is still pretty expensive... but not $40, and not significantly more expensive than comparable unhealthy foods; of course McDonalds is cheaper, but then again unless we're talking about people that have no money to spare, it's more likely they're choosing unhealthy food rather than being forced to buy it.
Can you share even a smidgen of what took so long (10 years!)?

From various comments over the years here and elsewhere, I’ve been led to the understanding that Python 3 was “coming soon” several times.

1. Why now?

2. Is it true this time?

3. Will Python 3 keep up to date with new releases, or 5 years from now will we be stuck on 3.6?

4. What is the future and roadmap of AppEngine?

The feeling in the community is that AppEngine is another Google Reader, and death may be imminent. Can you reassure us?

5. What is the future of Standard and Flex?

Should all new projects be started on Flex?

Is standard ever going to keep up with language releases?

Thanks
started attending more activist-oriented and critical discussion groups or groups dealing with specific local issues in my community (Berlin).

"The more modern thinking is that schizophrenia doesn't exist[1]."

One of the main points of the article you link to is that schizophrenia does exist, with the caveat that it exists not as a single disease but as a disease spectrum:

"when Dr. van Os writes that "'schizophrenia' does not exist," taking care to place quotation marks around "schizophrenia," what he's mainly saying is that the term "schizophrenia" doesn't represent a single disease entity and should therefore be replaced with "something like ‘psychosis spectrum syndrome.'"

and

"saying that "schizophrenia" represents a variety of distinct disorders with different causes doesn't mean that it doesn't exist at all"

It concludes with:

"In the end then, the argument that "schizophrenia" doesn’t exist is far from compelling. Schizophrenia is a word we use in medicine to describe a familiar set of
co-occurring psychotic symptoms, with potentially different causes, just like "anemia," or "hypertension," or "headache." In some cases, it can be useful to think of it as
a categorical disorder, distinct from other forms of psychosis. In others, it can be best thought of as a spectrum condition, lumping it together with other psychotic
disorders. A more enlightened view of schizophrenia acknowledges that both can be true."

We have indeed all already chosen a mathematics denomination. And people like me who don't think that it makes actual sense to talk about the "existence" of things that cannot be in any useful way described have lost.

That said it is worth understanding very clearly, no matter what your preferences, that the deciding factors in any debate between the two sides did NOT center on logic. Logically both positions are internally consistent. In the end it comes down to asking whether or not you wish mathematics to be convenient, or about something real. Convenience won.

Which is the same reason that ZFC beat out ZF. (Though choice is more commonly used in an alternate form such as Zorn's lemma.)
Still any sugar addiction is mild, in my opinion. For instance, when provided a good meal without sugar (say a nice restaurant on a date) do most folks get the shakes, leave halfway through the meal and run to an ice cream shop for a fix?

Its pretty easy to give up sugar for many people, for months at a time. Going back is probably laziness (easy availability, nostalgia) and not a physical compulsion.

Its common to throw words around like addiction when better words exist. Like habitual, or accustomed, or conditioned.

I love seeing Cython usage. Python is cool, but as a scientific language, its slowness gets in the way sometimes. Particularly when you have control flow with funny shapes, so it is hard to just apply multipurpose vectorized functions. In my experience, NLP often has funny shapes like that.

Cython is a wonderful escape hatch to grab performance, and I'd love to see it used more casually in the data science world.
I think you're confusing whether or not something is 'real' with whether or not something will hold value in 5,000 years.

If you're able to ascertain a wallet private key 5,000 years from now, it'll still be as 'real' as it is at this moment. Just maybe not as useful/functional or valuable.

Well... unless in 5,000 years there is a crypto museum out there willing to pay significant sums for anyone who can produce a valid private key for an address that once had a transaction on the blockchain.
I recall experimenting with that, but I had a hard time making them work correctly (although I don't recall the details--might've been something to do with their parser DSL or something). The compiler doesn't use the stdlib because the compiler was originally implemented in C, and then they did a mechanical C -> Go translation.
Like most IT guys, I block everything possible: cookies (whitelist), CSS history, ads, beacons, tracking of all sorts, http/s referrer, webrtc, browser fingerprinting, DNS prefetch, and much more, passing all of this through a personally-controlled remote non-US VPN that logs absolutely nothing. Ads? What ads?

I pass all traffic through this, including mobile devices, so protection even when away from home. Is it 100% foolproof? No. But I have yet to have issues, and Google and others have zero profiles on me, as I have no accounts with them or Facebook, et al. It's nice to be able to be relatively off-the-grid while still taking advantage of what the Internet has to offer.

That's the sad part for me, there was 0 "Framework" learning. It was 100% rote memorization, usually for a standardized test. (As I've said in other threads, it wasn't until college that I really "Learned how to learn.")

A bare-bones framework, to my older eyes, would teach you to ask about incentives, to look at the zeitgeist of the times, to ask "what's the precedent," and might establish a motivation for this in showing the predictive power of history, or its utility in comprehending current situations. Unfortunately, all of those were long-post-primary-schooling revelations.
While I may not have had the context or appreciation I do now, my schooling did almost nothing to move me in that direction.
I didn't switch for weight loss, but for the other benefits I listed. I was skeptical, of course, but I like to self-experiment.
> "People claim those who were the teachers knew it was fake, but interviews years later have people claiming they really thought they killed the person in the other room."

Some of the teachers undoubtedly thought it was fake, others did not. And importantly a majority of the teachers were not properly debriefed until several months later (some never were). The "dehoaxing" most received immediately following the experiment was itself another hoax which in some cases was meant to persuade the teacher they had in fact been shocking somebody (but that the shocks were only very slight harmless shocks.) The dehoaxing was meant to introduce the teachers to the learner, to demonstrate that he was alive. Some did not even receive this dehoaxing, presumably because procedure was violated, which explains why a handful of them might believe they'd killed somebody.
I was out of work at the time. I was calling everyone I knew to talk. <side note: you cannot ask for a job, just let them know you are looking. If they have a job they will tell you. If you ask they will often clam up.>

Interesting, thank you.

> I feel however that the whole "Blockchain Startup Universe" always comes up with the same bullshit claims. It usually goes like this: "Here is a difficult problem. To solve that problem we use Blockchain. The End." No one really explains how Blockchain is so much better at solving this than a regular database. But everyone just believes it is.

You're wrong to claim this. The "whole" blockchain startup universe is not coming up with bullshit claims. It's the bullshit portion of the blockchain startup universe that is doing this. The rest of us understand what we're dealing with and why it's novel. Perhaps you've only encountered bullshit claims about blockchain. Does that mean that hash chains are bullshit? No, we've been using them for years to power git. Oh, then does it mean that distributed conflict resolution schemes are bullshit? Nope, we've been using them for years with replicated databases. So then why do these things suddenly become bullshit when put them together? Beats me. Ask the haters.

> So far I have not heard a satisfying explanation on how anyone will securely verify that a physical object/subject is indeed this one particular hash on the Blockchain.

Why does that need to be done? That's not universally accepted as a problem that every blockchain company is trying to solve.

I thought you said that the hidden-variables extension of quantum mechanics is "bad" (compared to the "vanilla" QM) because you need to allow information to travel faster than light speed.

But I agree if you meant that QM (both non-local hidden-variables and standard interpretation) requires non-locality, unlike local hidden-variables theories which are ruled out by the violation of Bell inequalities which has been established experimentally.

Ok, I'll try to reply to your 'edit3' examples.

In my mind Finland and France are examples of European countries that have pretended very hard at some point in their history to be single-ethnicity nation states counter to how the actual population sees themselves.

France is named after the Franks, but if you went back in time to 1700 and asked random people within the country's boundaries the question "What's your ethnic group?", the answers you'd get would include Breton, Basque, Catalan, Provencal, Alsatian, etc. — a minority of people within the Kingdom of France would identify primarily as "French" (and nobody would have heard of the Franks, a people that existed a millennium earlier).

If you asked that same question in Finland in 1700, you'd find a lot of people who identify as Swedes. And why shouldn't they? It was an eastern province of Sweden where every modestly educated person spoke Swedish. You'd also find people who identify as Sami, Karelian, etc.

Flash forward to newly independent Finland of 1918, and you'll find politicians who are adamant that it's a nation state. Yet descendants of those Swedish-speaking people are still there, and so are the Sami speakers, the Karelian speakers, and so on. Some of them will identify as Finns while others never do.
Both of these are good points. 90 day exercise windows are both unnecessary and terrible for employees and we should move to eliminate them as quickly as possible. I think the trend is slowly in that direction, but it really should just be a deal breaker for engineers.

The limited information is also a good point. Some level of saviness and understanding of your company and market can help with some parts of this but certainly not all.

If anything this may be a good argument for working at late stage private or smaller more volatile public companies. Then if you get lucky and get, say, Square from two years ago, whose stock has gone up 7x, you capture this upside (and if they do poorly, roll the dice again after a year, perhaps). This is quite mercenary and might not be the route that makes one happiest, though.

Germany had good reason to be paranoid. They were surrounded by a powerful alliance between Britain, Russia, and France, all of whom were scapegoating German ambition to help with their own political problems. Archduke Ferdinand's assassination was just a crystal falling into a supersaturated solution. When Russia demanded action from its allies in support of their ally, war was inevitable. At that point, Germany declared war on Russia only to get the first strike in, before Russia could fully mobilize France and Britain against Germany as well.

The terms America and Americans have been used for hundreds of years, not just the last decade or two. I've had this same conversation with Mexicans and people from South America. The U.S. was the first independent country in the Americas recognized by foreign countries and remained the only one for many years. The term American had been used by the British for years to refer to the colonies, and was adopted by the country itself.

In his farewell address, George Washington said this: "The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation."

More than that, this is just what citizens of the U.S. are called. New Zealanders are Kiwis and Brits are Brits and Canadians are Canadians. Every nationality has a name, this is ours. The continents shouldn't be called America anyways, as Amerigo Vespuci had little to do with its discovery or exploration, but that's the way it is.

In other words, this isn't some evil American power grab, and an insult to the rest of our Western Hemisphere neighbors, but a quirk of history that won't change any time soon.

Not at all the same. In the USA, we have a baseline of actions the government cannot take: it is described in the Constitution and contains a well defined appeals process, as well as a large set of tools to protect against tyranny. Google offers its users and even its paying paying clients none of these privileges.

I feel ambivalent myself, I have no vested interest in Tesla succeeding or failing. Objectively, the numbers paint a pretty sober picture of their future and I wouldn't consider investing any of my money there. But ... I think it would be cool if they succeeded. I've never been particularly interested in any electric car, Tesla or not, but anybody willing to push the technology forward is appreciated.
