For blowing your nose because you have a cold.

In North America there's more space, and I think pharmacies are larger. The European pharmacies I've seen would have had to ditch 5% of their medications if they wanted to make space for a shelf of tissue boxes.
Some of the weird html is weird because it's generated from Arc, i.e. it's really object code. The source code is the Arc s-exprs that generate it, and it's not so weird. The css isn't generated from Arc though.
non-euclidean?? or is this something different?

In enterprise there is two real options for cloud, azure and aws. Both are great, but a lot of us chose azure because we were already Microsoft shops.

Their support is excellent, you pay for it so that’s kind of natural, but if I submit an issue with a high importance rating they’ll be on the phone with me on the hour until it’s solved with no extra cost to me.

From a European perspective Microsoft were the first to adopt EU legislation. They were also the first to offer “private” azure hosting, where your data isn’t held on servers shared with anyone as well as letting you physically inspect your servers at the azure data farm. (Amazon does all this as well now, but they didn’t when we were chosing cloud.)

I’m extremely satisfied with how they operate for enterprise, how they adopt other technologies as first class citizens in their offered stack (we use a lot of python), and how accessible they are. It’s not just for support, if I want something added or changed I can ask them, and often it happens.

I really, really hate windows 10 though, so there is that. :p
If he is a paying user then he already has a 24/7 support structure in place. Given the post made, I think it's a reasonable to assume that he's not.

I believe salmon runs that have been impacted can be helped without having to remove dams entirely, but I'm an EE not a biologist.

I also don't defend all dams. Many dams have had terrible impacts on people and the environment.

Hydro could be mooted when there is enough battery storage in MWH as there is stored in the potential energy in the water in the reservoirs of the dams.

The economics on batteries aren't there yet. To be able to depend on having x MWH of energy in the battery in 5 years you need a battery that is 10x, or you buy a battery that is only 1.5x but then replace it every year. A project in Hawaii just chose pumped hydro storage over batteries.

I'm more hopeful geothermal will become a strong resource but all of the drilling equipment and expertise is chasing oil.

Microsoft is a company whose three traditional strengths were Windows, Office, and Server. The first is toast and Microsoft lost in mobile, and the second is getting crushed by Google Apps. Power makes companies bad -- Microsoft was bad when they have power, Facebook, Google, and Amazon are bad now that they have power. Microsoft is weaker than they have ever been and thus they are behaving better than they ever have.
This is not a problem inherent to machines. If I teach a baby the word "tank" by pointing to a picture of a sunny tank and the word "forest" by pointing to a picture of a night forest, the baby could be correct in deducing "tank" meant day and "forest" meant night.

This is not even specific to deep neural nets (DNNs). Even something like line fitting (OLS) will have problems with it.

Classical statistics has a great way to deal with this, which is that your training data for classifying a label A against B should encompass the entire range of A and B that you want to use this machine on.

This means if you want to identify a picture of tanks in a situation x, you better have a training set of tanks that "overlay a neighborhood" of x.

But maybe the article isn't talking about the ability to train MLs, or how humans will be better than MLs, but that it's scary to have machines that can decide things and we don't know how they did it (or more precisely, the meaning of how they did it).

That's reasonable, but I don't think operationally any different that if you ask a human who misclassified something and she just said "well uh, it just kinda looked like B from this angle / from a glance..."
I think anyone who has been around the internet a while will hold SD fondly. I wish it had become what Snopes is used for, minus the shady owner and partisanship.
It‘s more a result of the shortage of available rental flats so people can easily find a successor by themselves. Outgoing renters have negotiation power and the incoming ones have to adhere to whatever date they want, resulting in cascading effects.

New flats in big cities have arbitrary (ie monthly) moving dates in the contracts nowadays to bring them in line with reality. But it is never a problem to agree on any random date between you and the next guy, as long as you provide somone willing to take it over per that date.

I‘m Swiss and never moved on one of the official moving dates...

> Netflix seems to be creating original content all over the world, which is great...

Keep in mind that many of the "Netflix Originals" are not made by Netflix at all. In Australia "The Expanse" is a Netflix Original, even though it was made by SyFy & streamed on Amazon US. Similarly, "Glitch" is labelled Netflix Original in the US, but not in Australia, and it was made for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

As far as I can tell, Netflix Original only means they have exclusive distribution rights for a limited time in that country.

Interesting! These makes me remember the documentary/movie “Bananas!” which was about the criminal behaviour of the fruit- and vegetable company Dole. During the making the Americans involved in the making got so scared of being sued their house from them that they left the project. The swedes never cared about the threats from Dole. This also made the news on Sweden that even parliament members backed the project and said that Doles threats where so unethical.

Having said that, I think Goggle is just hiding behind the lawsuit threats.
The number one ICO Management Platform just got even better
I think the switch action is somewhat better now, though. Probably an improvement in the materials used. Scissor switches might help a little, even though the underlying electrical contact mechanism is similar. At least with scissors the feel isn't purely based on the behavior of rubber.
Agreed... I got screwed in Amsterdam over that. In NL you can lease the furniture for 20% it’s value yearly - and the actual contract was worded such that the furniture should have been Vitsoe collection rather than IKEA. The worst was that the landlord couldn’t be bothered to fix isolation and the boiler thermostat because we’d be paying for the energy regardless; the final settlement was brutal (always take over the energy contracts, always.)
But we are talking about building footprints which DO directly correlate to population, not overall area of an entity. So it's the most relevant factor.

The parent talked about cryptocurrencies, not blockchain, not bitcoin. There is a huge difference.
Progression beyond unlocking new ways to play the game (such as in FTL) almost immediately kills any interest I have in a roguelike/roguelite. Or really most genres that it's infested.

What happened in the last 10 years that every game now needs to drip feed constant rewards rather than just being fun enough that you come back to play it?

IMO the beauty of a roguelike is its impermanence. You pick it up, play for awhile, and if you lose the slate is wiped clean for next time.

If that were true my companies current strategy of throwing change management consultants at problems rather than programmers wouldn't be half as successful as it is. Your windows /linux example is a bad one and i don't think designing /building Linux could ever be classified as a bullshit job. As for real world complexity this applies mainly to physical phenomena (self driving cars for example) and less to bureaucratic business organisational structures which is where most bs jobs also happen to exist.

A common myth. Mindgeek owns Pornhub, YouPorn, Redtube, Tube8, xtube and Gaytube for tube sites.

They own Brazzers, Digital Playground, Reality Kings, Twistys, Babes, Sean Cody and Men.com for production studios.

There are thousands of tube sites, two of which have more traffic than those mentioned above. There are hundreds of porn studios, many which are more popular than those listed above.
If the issue is as clear-cut as you claim, why don't you found a company that provides this kind of education? Why aren't there more students chosing other paths? Why are bootcamps struggling lately?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bootcamps-enterprise/some...

College is supposed to give you strong foundations so you can build on that. This means that college grads should be able to pick up "applicable skills" in short time (they certainly should be able to become productive at any company in less than 6 months), and from there they should be able to improve faster than their non-graduate peers, eventually surpassing their skills. If that wasn't your case, sorry mate, you are surrounded by exceptional non-graduate peers, or you are an exceptionally bad graduate (which may be your university's fault or your own).

In any case, those parents and students coughing up loads of money for graduate education seem to disagree with you.

Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism

> This class struggle that is commonly expressed as the revolt of a society's productive forces against its relations of production, results in a period of short-term crises as the bourgeoisie struggle to manage the intensifying alienation of labor experienced by the proletariat, albeit with varying degrees of class consciousness. This crisis culminates in a proletarian revolution and eventually leads to the establishment of socialism—a socioeconomic system based on social ownership of the means of production, distribution based on one's contribution and production organized directly for use. As the productive forces continued to advance, Marx hypothesized that socialism would ultimately transform into a communist society; a classless, stateless, humane society based on common ownership and the underlying principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_abi...

Marx fantasized about what is called a democratic post-scarcity economy today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy

Compare with classic socialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_each_according_to_his_contr...

I doubt that the author of the book tried to understand Marx because he wrote this:

> Why is it, he wondered, that certain intellectuals are “merciless toward the failings of the democracies but ready to tolerate the worst crimes as long as they are committed in the name of the proper doctrines”?

and

> He quotes the French writer Simone Weil’s sly reversal of Marx: “Marxism is undoubtedly a religion, in the lowest sense of the word. . . . [I]t has been continually used . . . as an opiate for the people.”

Marx wanted the opposite:

- Marx wanted power for the people. I guess Marxism and Stalinism is the same for many people although they are opposites.

- Marx wanted a revolution and not soothed tranquilized workers.

And your claim is wrong too:

> Today's basic problem is that we don't need that many people to make all the stuff. Neither Marx nor Smith addressed that problem.

Regarding:

> Economics for the 21st century needs to start dealing with these issues, not rehashing the 19th century.

IMO some of today's economic, social and political concerns and proposed solutions seem similar to those in the 19th century.
Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility
There are books that are full of bells and whistles. And there are books where the writing is not necessarily most polished, and does not follow the most recent hypey style, and they still easily thrive for centuries on the shear power of the ideas inside. Dostoevsky and Phillip K. Dick are probably the standard examples. They give the reader something of value, something that allows the reader to process the world in a new, or additional light.

I do not know much about the databases, but it I'd imagine its one of the backbones of the information age. In particular probably the efficiency aspects. It is a powerful material. And so as long as you come into the classroom and make it clear that today you are going to deal with something that makes the student more powerful, the students are going to listen, no matter which manner of delivery you choose. It may not always seem like this, but they are young adults, not little kids whom you need to trick into eating by stories or something.

Being an industry veteran, you likely have a great perspective on what works and why. The usual things, examples, critical distinctions of what could be a good idea and what could be bad, are useful. But whether its eventually provided as HTML or not, I don't think it matters.
Most games set on a globe are, like, say, planetary annihilation.
What does this mean for the future of science and technology?

I find it fascinating that so much interesting physics has been discovered in the last century -- for example I only recently found out the neutron essentially a post WWI era discovery [1]. And yet so little fundamental physics has come by in the last 30 years.

Now that there is no more increase in microstructure knowledge of the universe, will the other sciences and then technology follow in this stoppage?

Arguably the Internet followed from computers which followed from transistors which followed from fundamental physical theory of atoms and electrons from less than 150 years ago.

Will the lack of new physics cascade down, or is there enough "stuff" between physics and technology that tech can keep on going.

I've seen a couple of Netlflix shows and don't understand the improvement. It's the same TV junk but over the Internet. Now even made by the same people.

Other forms of content have been completely transformed by the change in medium. Podcasts have built upon their radio legacy and diversified tremendously. YouTube allowed people to share nearly anything from incoherent rants to whole college courses.

Netflix merely replaced the ads with subscription and remains the same cognitive parasite TV was, pumping out stuff that you're better off not watching at all. Another Grey's Anatomy or Glee, do you want that?

Studies by Eleanor Maguire at University College London and her colleagues helped demonstrate that the brain prefers to store memories as images in an orderly location. They did this by comparing the brain activity of world memory champions with a control group, while they memorized lists of items.

Results showed the only difference was that the champions preferentially used parts of the brain responsible for navigation and spatial awareness during the tasks. It turned out that they had better memories purely because they were placing items they needed to remember as images around a “mind palace.”

Compared to doing nothing anything is better if you want to remember more. Dunno if this one is better than others.
>What are some examples of things you thought were "normal" until you moved elsewhere?

Where I come from, the UK, all the entrances to your house, your flat, and shops that don't have automatic/sliding doors would open _inwards_. You'd push a door to enter. Now I live in Finland an doors open outwards.

There are a ton of tiny differences I've noticed since moving from the UK to Finland, another example would be that light-switches turn on/off in the opposite direction to that I'd expect.

That said though I've started taking a lot of these things for granted now, so it is actually quite hard to think of more examples!

One thing I'll never take for granted is that the majority of flats here in Helsinki have their laundry-machines in the bathroom. In the UK the washing-machine would ALWAYS be in the kitchen, or in a dedicated laundry area if the house was large/modern enough.

(Also the UK would have all rooms of a house be carpetted, barring a reasonably modern trend of solid-wooden floors. In Finland houses are universally carpet-free, although people frequently use rugs.)
There's also the impact that new competitors will have on existing public transport.

As an extreme example, if every well-off bus user switched to using these scooters instead, the only bus passengers left would be the poorest. If the service offered discounted tickets for the poor it would be losing money for every customer.

I'm not claiming that the status quo should be propped up, but that these sorts of consequences need to be predicted and managed. It seems like this example has a ring of truth when talking about cars rather than scooters.

There are so many moving parameters here. You can only improve the odds.

Like joining startups from founder / company which had a good previous exit

Due deligence is ofcourse a good method to choose, but that will also be based on your own understanding, perception and how convincing the business is to you. After accounting all, its agains a probablistic choice. By going with 2nd time startups / businesses, you are increasing your chanceBy going with mid-age founder you are increasing your chance further.

You can build your own logic this way, of pure increasing the chance type of parameters. But again, if only 1 percent startups succeed, the other question is what is success that you want - continual of good salary, getting hired at nother company, stock option or see the success of company listed and encashing it. There will be more secondary and tertiary questions to those questions.

The word "success" will have different meaning here.

By adding tertiary logic to the above explaination you will start finding answers and selection method to your target. But that too, may increase the chances for 1 percent to 2 percent.

You may not exactly come to know, what you should know. But you will know, what you must know - at the minimal level.
