My bigger concern is how many years I can work like this. This is year 3.

Really depends on the person. What I noticed halfway year 2 or so already is that the productivity gain was like 50% or lsess of what it was in the beginning (I did use already before that, but was studying then - sidenote: a small dose worked extremely well to completely kill any pre-exam stress I always had and my grades were better than ever). Worse, the creativity which was basically what I did it all for went down even more. Only way to get that back was not use for a week or so. Quit after year 5 but by that time other substances had come into play as well and things weren't too good anymore. I don't think I could still work those insane hours sober every single day, but I also wouldn't want it: there is so much more to life than just work/party.
From the abstract:

Presumably specifics are discussed in the paper. They followed 1.2 million children. Perhaps they were able to get an apples-to-apples comparison of children with similar issues and who did and did not get these surgeries.

The key is putting tax money where your mouth is, prioritizing projects with high impact over projects that cater to the voter base that you need to get reelected, and using eminent domain to get the best route against the interest of some individual people.

It's a two-way street. People like to look at it and be amazed, while most wouldn't be prepared to follow through on it given the drawbacks and their own principles of how governments should work.
I DM'd for some 8 year olds while working at a summer camp once. I was using one of the 3e starter boxes that comes with a simplified rule book and premade characters. You also have to be okay with just ignoring some rules that may add confusion like attacks-of-opportunity.

But overall it went great, maybe too great, haha. Afterwards they'd frequently try to suggest that instead of any normal camp activities they could play D&D. The camp basically made a rule against it because too many kids got interested and you'd either have an unmanageably large game, or have to exclude kids from the game.

I think the 5e starter box is somewhat similar. I know it comes with a reduced rule soft-book with just the important rules and spells. I believe it includes premade characters too but I'm not 100% sure.
My guess is that your joking, if not then you must be one of the few touchbar fans ("there are dozen's of us...dozens!").

Well when the internals don’t provide meaningful productivity differentiation for 90% of users for the last about 6-8 years now, and the MacBook Air design circa 2012 is virtually indestructible, how else are they going to get their users to upgrade machines every 2-3 years if not for shitty keyboard redesigns?
Even if they have, they are known for super strict security rules, so it won't be disclosed.

I saw a link to their patent application where they patented a way to protect the current keyboard design from dust and crumbs.

Personally, I got tired of their disregard for software developers issues with hardware, and now my working machine in the new XPS 13 from Dell. I am happy with it.
Is that not the case in the US? Every prescription drug I take in the UK has them broken down by "Very common" (>1/10), "Common" (1/10 to 1/100), "Uncommon" (1/100 to 1/1000), "Rare" (1/1000 to 1/10000), "Very rare" (1/10000 to 1/100000), and "Frequency not known" (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data).

How is discrimination along racial grounds legal in university admissions? Isn't race a protected class you can't discriminate against? If a store refused to provide service to an Asian because they already had too many Asian customers, surely that would be discriminatory and illegal, I don't see how that is any different, unless Harvard requires diversity to function properly.

Kevin Mitnick.

From the Wikipedia article about him:

> He was released on January 21, 2000. During his supervised release, which ended on January 21, 2003, he was initially forbidden to use any communications technology other than a landline telephone. Mitnick fought this decision in court, eventually winning a ruling in his favor, allowing him to access the Internet. Under the plea deal, Mitnick was also prohibited from profiting from films or books based on his criminal activity for seven years, under a special judicial Son of Sam law variation.

> In December 2002, an FCC Judge ruled that Mitnick was sufficiently rehabilitated to possess a federally issued amateur radio license. Mitnick now runs Mitnick Security Consulting LLC, a computer security consultancy and is part owner of KnowBe4, provider of an integrated platform for security awareness training and simulated phishing testing.

Yes, a good majority of people who work within Boulder live outside of the city proper. The price of living is too high for many people, especially service industry folks. Public transportation isn't bad, but it's not great. We were recently promised a commuter train line from Denver, and were given the ol' switcheroo and instead the bus system was expanded.

I do not know of any trails you would absolutely need a car to get to. One of the more popular places to start a hike, Chautauqua, actually started a very expensive paid parking program to get people to stop driving there (parking is limited, complaints from residents over noise), and instead take the free shuttle from city center.

Anyways, my home internet is absolute garbage (I'm just west of HW36, so outside of the city by a block). My speed is 5.05 Mbps down, 0.47 up and there's no alternatives to Century Link in my area. I might as well use a cellular network.
> The Underground trains are narrow-gauge light-rail.

No, they're standard gauge heavy rail; in some places the track is shared with ordinary passenger trains. The older tunnels just have very tight clearance.

You may mean the structure gauge, which is the clearance for tunnels, platforms and so on. That is normal-rail for Crossrail.
Easy recommendation, esp if they're into Loony Toons: Toon, the RPG, by Steve Jackson. It's super simple, super fun, and since characters don't (can't) die, it rewards extreme silliness and imagination.

Anyone more knowledgeable than me care to explain the difference between utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci and utf8mb4_unicode_ci?
Actually there are trailer parks in, I think, 4 different places in Boulder.
This bit me hard many years ago in possibly the most frustrating bug I've encountered--frustrating because of the stupidity of MySQL's implementation. I had a utf8 MySQL database that was created back before utf8mb4 existed--this is, back in the days when emojis were just getting popular, but not quite popular enough to be on software keyboards; and when only a few people had smartphones and iPads, but not everyone.

People would post long-form content to my site that took a long time for them to compose, and maybe once a month, someone would email me to complain that their long post was mysteriously cut short. Inspecting the database showed that the content was being stored there cut off, but with no rhyme or reason. Nothing in the error logs. 95% of other posts went through fine regardless of length or complexity. I put in tons of debugging code at various levels of the app to see where the data was being mis-parsed or truncated. Nothing!

The bug persisted for years without a hint. Finally, emojis became more popular, the bug started occurring more and more often, and MySQL released utf8mb4; and then it dawned on me: Occasionally, people would submit content that contained a Unicode emoji generated by their software keyboard, and MySQL would silently truncate the emoji and all the data after it WITHOUT WARNING when storing it in a utf8 column!! Silently!

I was so mad. A bug that plagued users for years, so much time and effort spent trying to debug it, and it was because of a combination of MySQL's dumb engineering decision to not support full Unicode for something called "utf8" and then silently truncating data without any warning.

I don't know what the lesson is here. But I do know it made me really, really mad at MySQL when I found out what the problem was.
Beer recommendations with deep learning
I've been playing the 1st edition of Decent recently. I think kids that age could probably handle it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent:_Journeys_in_the_Dark
Beyond The Wall is a reasonably lightweight game with a fun character-creation minigame (you're rolling in tables that might say things like "The character sitting to your right knows your deep dark secret" and then the two of you can work out what that is). It's also got some tools to help the GM build adventures, which should be helpful.

In general, almost any game should work at that age, you just have to be prepared to adapt. Plenty of 8 year old kids have picked up their older sibling's D&D book and played with their friends, having a lot of fun even if they're not calculating Base Attack Bonus properly. Kids are imaginative, so I'd try and encourage roleplaying and worry less about the pure mechanics of rolling dice, which is easy to screw up.

Biggest advice: make sure you understand the magic system well. Even among adults I've seen confusion about how exactly spells work (for instance in Beyond the Wall, there's cantrips which always work and spells which have a % failure chance, and that trips people up)
Isn't this the only one? https://patents.google.com/patent/US20090249247A1/en

AFAICT, Android never even incorporated the designs in this patent.
Yup. Being unable to pay for housing in 50 hrs/mo is what makes it unaffordable.
Think about it from a redundancy standpoint.

Single big trains get delayed due to any number of reasons - something on the tracks, broke-down train, etc...

With 10 smaller tunnels, they can just be rerouted.
I just published part 3 of my beer recommendation with deep learning series. I wrote about how to use metadata to do a hybrid recommender system using keras. Hope this is of interest!
> blocking parents of newborns (I get it, you have a baby and no social contact)

I'm curious how common this is.

When I heavily used Facebook, the demographic most likely to unfriend me is Caucasian mothers of newborns. Presumably because most of my updates were travel/entertainment related and we'd have nothing in common anymore.
This is old news, that keeps being reported over and over. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that people keep pointing to the wrong locus of the problem. Even here, this is being characterized as a Debian problem.

Big-O typically refers to worst case when people discuss algorithms, but its definition has nothing to do with runtime, or even algorithms, at all. It was invented by mathematicians decades before computers existed.

It's also more nuanced than the inequality in your correction. It's a statement about limits of functions.
> One factor is that back in the early 90s China was still an economically backward, closed Communist enclave barely more integrated into the global economy

I'd disagree, China was well on the way to becoming an economic power house in the early 90's:

Right. But...twice in one year. You're making my point.
Haha, sounds like you were one of the lucky 10,000 that day
I spent some time working out of WeWork in Berlin (one of their 3 offices there). A few observations:

- Being there is expensive for individuals. It seems to be mostly small companies and projects renting space. They get a decent deal of having an office and all stuff that comes with that as part of the package.
- They seem to use space efficiently, I did not spot many vacancies and it was packed with people.
- It looked to me like they are not having demand issues and they are basically billing per seat.
- Setting up these spaces must be costing them a bit as a one time investment. The space looks nice and clearly they are going for quality here. Seems to be part of their brand.

I imagine the latter is what is driving recent losses, because they have been expanding like crazy. The flip side is that if each of those new offices has similar occupancy, they are growing their revenue as well. The initial investment can be amortized over the lifetime of the lease probably, which presumably is many years. As soon as they stop growing, they should be making money. My guess is they are instead expanding as fast as they can get away with. This means that these losses are in fact solid investments. Somebody else in this thread is citing 40% profit margins; this sounds legitimate to me. The per building revenue should be substantial based on what I've seen.

+ Slim down D&D 5e and play it a bit fast and loose

I remember playing "D&D" with my dad at about that age. He used a D6, but basically he used a simplified D20 system with a lot of fudged rolls and minimal mechanics.

Fate Core is great at just telling a really good action adventure without concepts of inventory or death. It has some optional mechanics to let the players add to the story (recognizing the person who has kidnapped them, having been a smuggler in this town before, etc).

If your players enjoy jenga and horror, you can always run [Dread](https://dreadthegame.wordpress.com/about-dread-the-game/) which is very fast to get running and runs very smoothly, even for folks who haven't played an RPG before.
> The Fed should be mandated with establishing a $1+ trillion infrastructure development fund, by 'printing' dollars over 20 years to fill the program.

Or the federal government could spend less money killing brown people on the other side of the world and more money on domestic infrastructure -- give back to the taxpayer (for once) and foment international goodwill (for once) while not increasing the rate of currency devaluation.
I added up the number of university researchers who publish in top AI conferences (according to csrankings.org) from Jan 2017 to late May 2018.

http://csrankings.org/#/fromyear/2017/toyear/2018/index?ai&v...

Here are approximate numbers (with 2 significant digits) of faculty members/university researchers who published as above in each country/continent:

US 770

Canada 92

Asia (including China) 340

China 240

Europe 280

Australia + New Zealand 86

South America 12

The world excluding the US 810

So the US is still far ahead of other nations/regions, but it now has a bit below 50% of the world's university researchers who recently published in top AI conferences. China as a country is close to Europe as a continent and its number of published university researchers has increased rapidly in recent years.

The number of researchers is not weighted by the number of papers published but this number is useful since it counts how many people are capable of advising graduate students to produce world-class research. Using the number of papers is complicated by how likely highly capable international graduate students would choose to study in each program (in addition to the researcher's capability), i.e. university's reputation would have an additional impact beyond its research capability.

The multitouch technology in their phones was developed by a company that made a completely flat keyboard with no haptic feedback of any kind. (The Fingerworks Touchstream).

http://www.ergocanada.com/products/keyboards/fingerworks_lp....

It had some pretty powerful macro/gesture functionality. A friend of mine had one and loved it, but wound up having to buy a humidifier to keep it working in the winter.
I also didn't like it at first, but after some getting use to, I love it. I like it better than my mid 2015 MBP.

edit: I also bought a new MBP 13" and I like it the best. I prefer a 13" form factor, but I primarily got it because it has physical keys instead of the bar.

Not really if you can make a good living writing software for only the US/UK, France, Germany, Italy and a few more Western European countries, which is perfectly feasible. Latin1 works perfectly fine there, and if you wanted, and you didn't have to interact too much with other systems, you could just completely ignore all other encodings until UTF-8 started to get traction in the later 1990s. It even got into many RFCs as the default encoding until the RFC editors started to enforce everyone to implement UTF-8 and default to it.
All major Java and .NET IDEs have debugging APIs as well.

As for the data visualizers, as mentioned, with Java and .NET I can do it with a bit of annotations and the debugger takes it from there.

Or in C++'s case when using Visual Studio, a bit of XML describing the metadata.

The advantage of having this subsidized by Boulder is that the city will capture some of the increased productivity due higher speed internet in the form of taxes, both for individuals who are able to earn more money and companies that benefit from better internet infrastructure.

I've also read about studies that show that access to the internet improves health outcomes for poor people, so Boulder may also benefit from fewer emergency room visits and fewer sick days from those low-income households.
Maybe, except poker has a fixed set of contexts. The hands you can hold, the hands your competition can hold, the winning and loss conditions, are fully enumerated. And you still can't assume that someone who did really well at a professional level can teach others to play at that level. How much worse in the land of startups when none of those things are fully enumerable or known?

If you want to draw that analogy, I think Pratchett's statement in Good Omens about God playing dice with the universe is more accurate - “God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
