Eventually the system you use to model information with will override actual data. That's a feedback loop of confirmation bias. It's thinking in terms of time. How many models of data do you interact with versus how much actual data are you interacting with. I'm not on a soapbox without a point. It's a fine line. Your own mind matters in these systems. It's important to not undervalue it. It's not a computer. It's not a better computer. It's sometimes flawed.

I'm fine with calling it probabalistic inferencing. It's not future prediction, especially when the models one is reasoning about are models of cognition.

Thank you for not down voting though, that's appreciated.

Precisely and furthermore, it’s unreasonable to expect Pinterest to prioritize millions of dollars in labor to speculate and react to provisional legislation.

1. There was no certainty GDPR was going to pass.

2. There was no certainty as to what language would be used in the final document.

3. There was no certainty as to how/when it would be enforced.

By the time GDPR was actually passed, the lead time to enforcement was a slap in the face.

And to be honest, the compliance dates felt like a calculated attack to further the EUs moronic crusade against Facebook and Google, knowing full and well they were unrealistic deadlines.

Collateral damage to Instapaper and others is somehow a worthwhile trade off in the name of burning witches.

So I say, let there be consequences.
Since you probably can't implement a sufficient UBI to provide an income
floor that removes the need for other programs initially (at least, anytime soon), but instead need to start low and ramp up with productivity gains, you need a phase-in mechanism.

You can do this in a way that avoids forcing politicians to have the will to eliminate existing means tested programs but achieve that in effect by simply, add party of the phase in, specifying that UBI income counts as income in applying benefit formulas for existing programs.

It'll be much easier to kill each of the programs when no one has a low enough income to qualify for it.
Anyone could have. Amazon did.
I speculate there may one day be a place for a high-flying, well defended drone pilot carrier, whose purpose is to get the pilots close enough to the drones to have guaranteed instantaneous remote control - not even a satellite delay.

There might be, say, 6 pilots in that ship in VR rigs controlling the drones. They might be controlling dozens of drones a reasonable distance away, which are acting sometimes autonomously and sometimes under remote control, as needed.

It seems pretty clear that a rigid binary classification of societies in to settled/agricultural and nomadic/hunter-gatherer is false.

For example: What constitutes a settlement anyway? Just how long does it need to be in use before it's a settlement instead of a camp? Does regular seasonal use constitute permanence? In many hunter gatherer societies agriculture is documented. What about if shelter is natural (rock shelter), mobile (yurts or boats) or unnecessary (good weather)?

This is all part of a general ancient history rethink that I think it's fair to say is going on. We've figured out that ancient history is far more nuanced than many 20th century Western history scholars gave it credit for, and modern archaeology and genetics in particular are only now showing us the scale of our misconceptions.

Example areas of complete rethink: peopling of the Americas, continued diversity (and interbreeding with) non-homo-sapiens, speed and breadth of human diffusion, speed and breadth of technology invention and diffusion in pre-historic peoples.
What that wiki article fails to mention is that it was not other languages that were Bar bar but rather these other peoples accents when they attempted to speak attic greek which gave them away as being “not from Athens”. Which is why and how it was extended to all the other greek provinces as well. As an amateur attic speaker who enjoys reading texts in their original typography as well as modern interpretations I can absolutely see how the sing song nature of attic could provide difficulties to others.

This is not the original study I was looking for but similar results.

So let’s say (presume) Russia has goods on Trump, and we all know they had at least some goods on Hillary. I think then it would be fair to presume they could get the goods on anyone. If that’s the case, how can anyone do anything against this kind of adversary without someone saying “Ha, you’re taking/not taking an action because Russia is in your pocket!” Or whatever.

I'm in Australia.

Cars need to be registered to legally be on the road, and you couldn't register a car with some homemade self-driving tech attached to it.

If you had a small startup selling the tech, I'm sure there's some painful and lengthy process to prove it's safe. But certainly if the code is user-modifiable, it wouldn't be approved.

How do other countries operate without such regulations? Certainly I've seen some crazy car mods on the road in US TV shows that would never be allowed without masses of red tape here in Australia. Even to import a normal car from Japan to Australia you need to get child restraint attachments installed/engineer approval/etc.

I don't know how a car could possibly be considered safe otherwise. Some of those "Pimp my Ride"-type show mods just don't seem safe.
I did that route.

My experience in MY environment:

Sysadmin/support is a very different gang from the Dev group.

So I started with simple scripts (before cfengine/puppet).

Later I did some coding to hibernate machines using MFC.
After I started using python to generate inventories and to admin the whole University I used to work.

Then the first site on Django.
After another one in Django.

Later a project in Django.

Then some Consulting.

And then a big one project in Django being consumed for a lot of customers.

Now If I get my code from firsts projects I think:

"Serious.. This code sucks look this..."

My suggestion:

1. Accept that your code will be bad;
2. Accept that it will not be "smart";
3. Once people ask for more features you will understand "Why" there are design patterns and best practices;
4. Once you are making money, you will understand the need for git, CI/ CD, testing.

Sure you can learn about it first, but you really understand when you are on the field battle.

So today I have 2 CVS one for Sysadmin/Devops and Other for Developer as people have a hard time understanding that I can do both very well.

E.g., Today I finished a feature for a customer CRM python system, and later I set up an Asterisk PBX on cloud and a postfix setup.

Keep learning, practicing, and it will compound over years

PS. By doing well I mean: I am not updating my LinkedIn for 3 years as someone may do a tempting offer... I admit I afraid of the right proposal and say goodbye to some customers.
"Snooty Adelaidean-received" is better known as the Australian Cultivated accent, and is spoken by a number of Australians not from Adelaide.

In fact the most famous of these people were born completely outside of Adelaide. The three examples listed on Wikipedia are Malcolm Fraser, Cate Blanchett, and Geoffrey Rush. They were born in Toowoomba, Toorak, and Ivanhoe -- the latter two being suburbs of Melbourne.

Personally, I definitely speak Snooty Adelaidean-received, but I do have the excuse of originally being from Adelaide.
Do you have a paper in mind? From what I've seen 0.01% - 10% of controls have indels at any given site (obviously this depends on treatment, cell type, etc). You could call that noise of course, at the very least they can't detect rates below those using current methods.

I'll go find some refs on it if you ask.
This: "because you literally stop being able to see things for how they are truly"

These programs tend to vary wildly in quality, which is why you run into situations where you have to wait list your child for over a year to get into a program. While it is true that school enables both parents to work, I don't think it is fair to classify them as warehouses.

As a parent of two children under three, with a grand mother who loves to be involved, it is definitely wonderful. However, the boundaries can start to blur when you rely too much on family. The daycare relationship is more of a business relationship and much easier to deal with. You can also be assured that your children won't be eating ice cream every day.
You can isolate your server code behind an interface that lets you test it in your IDE, using the same requests that would normally originate in the browser. You just translate each browser request into an API call, and test that API call. No browser needed.

That doesn't negate the fact that there's measurable, testable reality that can be reproduced using scientific rigor.

It's just a perspective from someone who has experienced being carried away with the waves. Aptitude for prediction helps you and tells you it's all working as expected until it slams you with hard consequences that leave enough impact to know where to draw your own line.

It's arrogant to assume people can't catch up. Even if they don't understand exactly, you can't predict all the consequences of how people interact with a person who thinks they can predict the future, and especially people who act like some people are better at it than others. It works, until it doesn't.

For one of my websites (a static page with some pretties), I challenged myself to remove as much cruft as possible without degrading the experience.

I used Fontello to strip out unnecessary FontAwesome icons and uncss to remove unused Bootstrap styles, replaced some Bootstrap JS with vanilla JS and made use of SVGs (optimised with SVGOMG) for backgrounds and the logo.

The resulting site is a total of 178Kb when viewed in Chrome (down from over 1MB), including bootstrap, analytics, some screenshots, a custom font and animated logo. There's plenty more I could do to trim off size, but I had more important things to do.

There are so many ways to make webpages smaller and more efficient, and it can be a really fun learning experience.

My understanding was that the land Target used in Canada for their stores was leased to them by Walmart (who happened to own it for some reason, even though most of the lots used to be Zellers stores, and Eatons before that.) Walmart gave them extortionate prices and conditions on their lease.

They essentially choked their nascent competition in the Canadian market out of existence in the very same move that enabled the attempt.

Stop focusing on stuff you disagree with. Tell us why. For example, devops may be BS, but if so, why, and what is the alternative? There are answers.

Try to keep in mind that just because you're challenging a trend does not mean you're correct and you should always consider that A.) There are absolutely things you do not know that might change the answer(s), B.) When you disagree with a trend you're often disagreeing not just with people who follow the trend, but a large population of smart people that set trends too, and those people often have reasons for their ideals (which are often valid in context.)

Sometimes it turns out a lot of ideas do make sense with some constraints. Few ideas make sense if you consider every single possible parameter. You probably don't want to build a web of microservices running with several internal and external load balancers that call through webs of RPC requests in order to serve your personal blog that sees 1000 requests per day, for example, but that doesn't mean designs utilizing some of those patterns are unilaterally incorrect or not effective to solve problems at a different scale.

Am I the only that read this and thought, “or you can do what people have been doing for thousands of years and just have a fucking conversation with your mother every once in a while.” A relationship with a parent that includes a dynamic where the parental figure enjoys knowing where the offspring is at, normally likes having a conversation more than once a year. Pick up the phone and fucking talk to her? Pretty sure you have the technology to accomplish that. Seems easier too.

I’m all for ridiculous projects that automate things in unnecessary ways. Kind of like that girl that makes those terrible robots on YouTube. Awesome stuff. But this whole never talking to people thing is getting out of hand. Like, talk-talk. With your voice and face. This post just helps proliferate the concept of “maybe it’s okay to never hold a conversation longer than 30 seconds and consider myself socially intelligent because I have a bunch of friends on social media and watched a 5 minute youtube video on how to be socially intelligent.”

By the way, that’s not okay. In case you were wondering. Get some sun and talk to people. You have anxiety because you don’t talk to people and think computer screens are your friends.

>It seems pretty clear that a rigid binary classification of societies in to settled/agricultural and nomadic/hunter-gatherer is false.

Here's the problem, there's an established 'story' and if someone tries to go against that established 'story' about human history, they will find themselves unemployable. They will not be permitted to be a part of digs, they will not be able to find grant money, they will not be able to find a university that will take them in.

If someone finds something that even adds doubt it's immediately labeled a misinterpretation, a fake, some natural process that resembles human activity etc.

Add to that if you go back to Toba supervolcano 70,000 years ago you wipe out most of the human population at the time with some estimates getting you into a few thousand humans across the entire planet which obviously could have ended societies that did exist at the time and were not nomadic, if they were using largely grass and wood for their construction, a supervolcano erupting could have quickly led to using construction materials for heat source, as a source of food for any animals that were struggling to find food etc. Even small settlements spread out might go undiscovered by archaeologists for centuries.

If you look at Kenya’s Olorgesailie Basin there's potentially evidence of tool building 320,000 years ago. That right there kinda takes everything and goes "yeahhhhhhhhhh we're probably wrong" https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/archaeology/a194478...

Telling me we had tools 320k years ago but we didn't figure out agriculture until 12-14k years ago? Heh. Ssssssure.

I urge anyone to go read about the history of archaeology, it's only until extremely recently (the mid 1900's) that it even started to become a proper science and even then most of the labor was untrained volunteer and many an important site were discovered by people native to the area before properly trained people were notified and brought in.

Even recorded history is extremely suspect until very modern times. Some will argue it didn't become reliable until the 11th-12th century but we still see instances of stuff unreliable past that. Some firmly believe Joan of Arc is a fabrication for example, which calls 15th century 'history' into question... when someone questions her existence with logic they are quickly called a 'revisionist' and considered a nutjob though.

The fact that 'revisionist' and 'historical revisionism' exist as concepts are troubling because they are often used disparagingly of anyone that questions the 'official story' where in other disciplines it would be considered healthy skepticism.

So for the first time in more than a decade, I bought a non-Apple personal machine. (Thinkpad X1C 6th gen). It's okay.

In the first week of ownership, I ran into the issue that the LTE is flaky coming up from hibernate. Trying to debug that issue (spoiler: there is no fix) really made me appreciate how Apple is operating on a different level from other PC manufacturers. The fact is that Lenovo doesn't have the expertise to make an LTE card or write drivers for it, and neither does the company that makes the card for Lenovo (Fibocom). Fibocom takes an Intel reference design, buys Intel chips, throws the other components on the card, glues some Intel code together and ships it. Lenovo buys it and puts it in the machine, but doesn't really know how it works. When it doesn't work, it's not Intel's problem (they just make reference designs and sell the chips), it's not Fibocom's problem, and even though Lenovo takes responsibility, it's out of its depth in fixing the problem.

Compare Apple. They don't just take an SSD and slap it in a machine. They make their own SSD controller and combine it onto a chip with other functionality. Non-upgradable? Yes. But at least they understand how their own machine works.
