I have never searched my message text history with the exception of trying to find images sent to me. Never content. Most companies I’ve worked at have a similar policy of not archiving text messages from internal chat. No reason to keep content, minimizing the amount of data you archive is a core element of security and risk mitigation for a number of reasons. Plenty of large organizations don’t archive employees Lync/internal chat messages for similar reasons.

Procrastination is the avoidance of activity due to a discomfort/fear/anxiety and subsequent inability to scale the discomfort wall that exists between you and the tasks' completion.

Incorrect. The dictionary definition of procrastination is To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness or To postpone or delay needlessly. Literally meaning, from Latin, putting off until tomorrow. I procrastinate way too much, but because I get bored, distracted and I'm lazy. None of which is a discomfort, fear or anxiety.
Thankfully with Shopify it is extremely easy and straightforward to manage for my wife's small online store. Their platform does a great job properly charging taxes by state, county and city in certain situations. Then using an inexpensive plan from https://www.taxjar.com/ the entire filing and paying process is 100% automated.

In 10 minutes I was able to file and pay all the sales taxes to several state, dozens of California counties and a handful of cities that charge additional taxes on top.

There are some fundamental issues with running dynamically typed languages on top of wasm. Those issues can be resolved somewhat, but there's quite a bit of work to be done before they can be supported.

For basic support these languages need support for GC - some degree of stackwalking if they don't want to use shadow stacks. That support should be coming soon.

But you can't get around the fact that you need to ship a runtime to support these languages, so you're not just shipping your code, but the runtime required to run it.

But a runtime alone doesn't give you fast execution - you need to jit. And JITs require a lot of deep access into the architecture. You need to be able to generate and inject executable code into the program. You need to be able to patch code at runtime. For security purposes you'd ideally like a separate process that manages the codegen to provide fast w^x support for jitcode.

For the forseeable future, any real dynamic language support on the web will require direct runtime support, namely the regular JS engine.

Disclaimer: I'm a JS JIT developer at Mozilla, have worked on the IonMonkey optimizing compiler and did a good chunk of the design and implementation of our baseline JIT.

I'm excited at the prospect of wasm being a portable, tight runtime that'll eventually be a good cross-platform target for writing dynamic language, but there is quite a bit of infrastructure required within wasm before it can support that.
Not popular. This means public parks and even schools are less likely to have soccer fields or soccer programs. Note how almost every single park has a basketball court. Although this is changing, soccer is associated with elementary school kids or even as feminine (?).

Because soccer is not popular, it doesn't make you as much money or respect as other sports. Strong athletes will overwhelmingly choose sports better for them in the long run.

Elitist. For some reason, in the US, soccer is expensive. Leagues are expensive, classes are expensive, etc. It is squarely an middle to upper middle class sport. This cuts off a huge part of the population. I cannot tell you why because everywhere else, soccer is for everyone and a lot of famous players come from poor backgrounds. When the game was invented, it was a working class' game.

Soccer starts too late. There is no progression from childhood to pro like there is everywhere. The best clubs and teams of the world (and even the ones that aren't so good) have special programs for K-12 kids (e.g. Barcelona has been training Messi since he was 13). Most soccer players I know didn't start playing seriously until high school or even college.
Doesn't that reasoning apply to any disorder? Medically, a disorder is simply "a disruption of normal physical or mental functions." So, having any disorder makes one abnormal, unique, special, and possibly above average or below average, but certainly not average.

"Disorder" and "special physiological difference" are synonyms.

Even if the Puritans (who usually referred to themselves as 'godly') were slightly less prim about sex then some people expect, they certainly weren't keen on sex outside of marriage.

The ruling is technically limited to states which do not impose burdensome restrictions on interstate commerce. The ruling specifically notes that South Dakota streamlined its sales tax process.

It doesn't matter what Westlake Village wants to charge in sales tax to Amazon. In order for the sales tax to survive South Dakota v. Wayfair, it must be minimally restrictive on an out-of-state vendor. This means that it can't include local sales taxes, because an out-of-state vendor can't be expected to know about such taxes unless they do sufficient business with that locality. Note that both of the current federal sales tax laws before Congress also disallow local sales taxes in favor of state-level sales taxes.

Long story short: there will be up to 50 sales taxes that online stores must deal with.
Another issue is that the classification can change future behavior. For example, if a new system says you're at high risk of a heart attack then you're likely to want to take medication, change your diet, etc. From that point of view the algorithm makes itself invalid, but it is still useful.

There are ways to control for these sorts of effects, but I don't see that done with the COMPAS data. In that case researchers got the data years after the fact so it would be hard to separate misclassification due to bad biases vs those from feedback of the system working correctly.

I think it is fair to be suspicious of systems like COMPAS, but I don't think the misclassifications identified are a slam dunk against COMPAS.

>Given that combination of factors, I have to wonder what it’ll take to make me want to upgrade from my modest 1060. I can’t imagine what sort of incremental improvement video hacks will make this card too slow at 1080p.

What made you want to upgrade to your 1060? New, more graphically demanding games. Why are those new games more demanding? Because people bought newer, faster GPUs.

That steady evolution of graphical hacks will march on for as long as hardware improves. Ambient occlusion is a hack, ray tracing is a hack, the rendering equation is a hack. There will be no revolution, just another generation of GPUs and another generation of APIs, with developers trying to squeeze the most out of them.

Nvidia are fairly bullish about real-time raytracing, but that's just another incremental step. It's potentially a backwards step in many cases, because a lot of other tasks are competing for GPU resources. Illumination is only one aspect of simulating a realistic 3D scene.
But if the cutoff really is $200k per state

Last year I read a book by one of the top oncologists in the U.S., who's been in the field for five decades and held senior positions at leading institutions. He did not have good things to say about the FDA.

In decades past, researchers could come up with ideas and use them on patients who had no other options, and often saved lives that way. The field advanced quickly. Now progress has slowed and clinical practice lags well behind the state of the art in research, largely due to FDA restrictions.

So I suspect the book's author is happy about this law. Here's the book: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Cancer-Pioneering-Oncologist-Wi...

Procrastination is due to not doing things on your own terms, which means that what you feel you have to do comes from the outside.
Often this symptom comes from disparity between what you think you want to do and what should be done (the outside). For example, what you do in the university is something you want to do, but not always in a way you think things should be done. Here procrastination comes along. The solution is to do things on your own terms as often as possible. It's debatable how far you can go with this idea, because in the end it becomes a question of what's the meaningful relationship between you and the society. When you have to give in to outside pressure, then some tricks might help you. But what I said before that, IMHO, is what the issue is really about.
No my understanding is that the state wants their full X% -- the whole point of the use tax is "you paid that guy but you're supposed to pay me." If you paid a higher tax rate in another state do you think your home state would be happy with 0% or even reimburse you the difference?

IIRC you're expected to get the out of state retailer to reimburse you at a later time and then when you're paying your income taxes you include any purchases subject to use tax.
First, use Segment.com. Send the data to GA and to any other analytics you like more than GA. For example, I'm not at scale with my own product, so I really like using Clicky day to day. GA has people locked in because it's the only place where you can see your search queries and AdWords. It really ties everything together and is very powerful--for those who have mastered it.

I've seen js libs in the past that allow you to specify the event names/categories directly on the html element as data. When your page loads, the js lib looks for them and wires them up to be ready to send event data when clicked. Very simple code and you can write your own if you can't find something that works well in your SPA framework.

If you want more flexibility, more tagging choices, and better dashboards, you could in addition consider sending your event data to a metrics platform, such as the one I run at https://HostedMetrics.com ;)

> In the case of the ProPublica example, the claim is that a particular subset of the results of an algorithm is more skewed than the full set.

https://www.propublica.org/article/how-we-analyzed-the-compa...

"black defendants who scored higher did recidivate slightly more often than white defendants (63 percent vs. 59 percent)."

If we define "high risk" as 60% chance of recidivism, the algorithm is getting it essentially right and according to your previous comment there are no misclassifications (if we assume that the small variation is due to statistical variability). If we want to be hyperprecise there is a small bias: white defendants are getting classified as high risk more than they should and black defendants not as often as they should.

Their claim is not that 60% is too low. They never define what the desired precision is, but their use of the terms "misclassify" and "false positive" makes sense only if one expects "high risk" to predict recidivism with 100% precision.

If their argument was about miscalibration and they considered that getting 60% is too low, the threshold to define "high risk" could be raised. The score is fine-grained, their analysis is based on the score deciles and they consider the binary partition Low=1,2,3,4 and High=5,6,7,8,9,10.

> Nowhere is it argued that individual samples can be explained probabilistically.

I don't understand what you mean.
> "we're not building machines that work exactly like the brain does" is a poor counterargument.

It's not that artificial intelligence has to work exactly like human intelligence; my point is that the system that produces human intelligence is many orders of magnitude more complex than what passes for AI these days.

I think there's an idea out there that because deep learning allows computers to solve some problems that we thought were in the exclusive domain of humanity even a few years ago, that the refinement of these technologies and Moore's law will steadily close the gap between AI and human intelligence. I would venture to guess there are a lot of hard, novel problems left to solve before we get anywhere close.

edit:

It's also not the first time we've thought we had intelligence "figured out". In the middle of last century, there was a lot of hubris around the field of neuroscience as we started to understand the brain's topology, and could map specific functions to brain regions. The feeling at the time was that we would refine our map, and sooner or later once we figured out what all the parts did, we would have a total understanding of the human mind.

This paradigm led to some horrifically misguided practices. For instance the use of lobotomy to treat psychiatric disorders: if the brain is just a collection of functional regions, why not just cut out the bad bits right? Turns out it's not that simple.

> And C code is EXPECTED to go beyond the territory of the abstract machine.

Passive voice! You expect C code to go beyond the territory of the abstract machine. The authors of the standard, quite clearly, do not.

I can see both of these arguments. I think there is a place in the world for a C that is machine-specific. But it's clearly not what the standard authors have in mind, there are clearly people who find the genericness of C useful (cf. "portable assembler"), and piecemeal solutions like skipping individual bad optimizations won't solve the underlying problem that there's no way in C to say "Dude, I'm writing for a reasonable UNIX on a reasonable modern machine with a single flat address space for code and data and non-exception-raising two's-complement arithmetic and the ability to do nonaligned reads/writes and other normal things, please stop thinking I might also be writing for a PDP-11 bootloader."

I think you should go to the standards committee with a single proposal, which is that C should stop trying to be portable to weird / old architectures (and people who need them can use weird / old compilers, anyway). Among other things, you can now enable certain types of optimizations if the compiler is permitted to assume that arithmetic is two's-complement and nonaligned reads/writes work and so forth.

> I don't think I've ever heard of a blood test for a mental disorder

Autism, and all the other pseudo-mental disorders, have always had underlying physiological considerations. It is a mistake to treat people with these diagnoses as having a 'chronic' condition that can't be cured.

For example, cortisol deficiency has been associated with psychosis [0] since the 1950's [1], but the mental health industry has been treating this condition with awful palliative drugs since they were approved by the FDA (also in the 1950's).

Traditionally the diagnosis of autism has been based on an assessment of symptoms. It was assumed that the symptoms are related to the child having inherited "bad genes". There is no cure for "bad genes", so palliative therapy was thought appropriate. This study basically confirms that Autism has metabolic considerations, which can be addressed with appropriate interventions.

I have friends on the spectrum. I happen to agree that mildly autistic behaviour is more akin to a personality difference than a disorder.

That said, I don't think it's fair to admonish someone for using the colloquial norm. The comment might read better if stated less as "careful, you're doing something wrong" and more in the tone of "here is another viewpoint you may find helpful and interesting."

If a relationship is consensual what's the issue? If we're spending a significant part of our waking hours at work, it should be a baked in assumption that at some point, some coworkers are going to end up in a romantic relationship together. Hell, the majority of my significant romantic relationships started out as consensual workplace flirting.

It should only ever be an issue when that relationship causes trouble for the business.
