Yeah, it's in Rothes; I drove past it a bunch of times when we stayed in Craigellachie. There's distilleries everywhere you look in that part of the country (like, literally, go up on a hill and look in any direction), and Glenrothes is one of the better known (there are a bunch of distilleries around there that produce only for blended scotch, but Glenrothes is one of the more popular single malts).

Glenrothes is the first scotch I recommend to anyone who loves bourbon and thinks they hate scotch.

There's I think more than one Dronach 15, but Dronach as a whole is famous primarily for producing sherry bombs and I think any Dronach you buy that has an age statement (12, 15, 18, 21, &c) is going to be a safe bet.

That number sounds really, really outlandish. China, officially at least, spent about $130 billion on their defense in that same year. I highly doubt they would spend that much on some research project which will bear fruit in the distant future. Even if they are willing to spend that much money, where would they even spend that much money?

It depends on the passion as well. Not all passions are equal and can be easily transferred into a successful career. Assuming you have multiple passions, my personal advice would be to maximize money/time ratio for your career that corroborate with one of your passions to have some job satisfaction as well as pursuing your other passions.

For example, if you have a passion for say writing and computer science, I would recommend to get a job in CS, since money/time ratio is usually higher there.

Pattern matching is super useful for writing code that spends a lot of time building and deconstructing syntactic data structures.

Non-linear pattern matching is useful when de-constructing large-ish expressions that might contain multiple occurances of the same sub-term.

Nonfree datatypes allow you to encode some constraints about your datatypes; e.g., "lists that are equal modulo permutation".

Supporting type-checked non-linear matching over nonfree datatypes allows you to encode a lot of constraints in the type system and syntax that would otherwise be encoded with lots of nested if-statements and only checked by tests, not by static type checking.

This combination of features could be very useful when implementing a lot of mathematical code that operates over algebraic structures. Which is why the language's homepage mentions the implementation of (features for) computer algebra systems as a sort of killer app.

> this is not a business pain, this is an academic interest

Not all innovation is motivated by the business pains of today's engineering managers. And often the solutions to those pains are not recognizable; e.g., thousands engineering manager in 1950 could've beneifted from CAD software but I bet very feew were sitting around saying "I could really use a good piece of CAD software right now".

Scala is another good example of that, despite a marketing complaints about messaging. No one asked for FP+OO, but Scala took off because the combination of FP and OO solved a lot of the pain caused by Java.

Substantially improving the ease of implementing new types of computer algebra systems could easily create a lot of business opportunities e.g. in providing improved analysis/synthesis tools for all sorts of CAD tools.

Ah - interesting! I would not have expected 1. I will dig into TLA+ and try to understand it better.

Thanks! Please do consider writing a blogpost, I'm sure many here would appreciate it.
Well, first and foremost you should try as much as possible the rest of the Islay distilleries; Bowmore, Laphroig, Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Kilchoman and Bruichladdich.
Bruichladdich is a little special since regular Bruichladdich, which is bottled under that name, is mostly 'unpeated', they then have a bottling under the name of Port Charlotte which is peated to the "regular" Islay standard (e.g. 35-50 ppm phenol - a measurement for peaty/smokiness) and last but not least they have the Octomore which is peated to the super heavy levels of 167-300 ppm phenol.

There's also a now defunct distillery from Islay called Port Ellen where it's still possible to get hold of stuff that was in the casks when they went under, maturity here ranges from 22-30+ years and they will start distilling again in the coming years, so there is something to keep an eye out for. I would never recommend people to buy an entire bottle of Port Ellen since the cheapest one in my country is roughly ~$1000 and it's not just THAT good regardless of how much money one have. But if you're ever in a whisky bar which has good enough inventory a dram of Port Ellen won't ruin you.

Staying on Islay, Ardnahoe is a new distillery which started distilling spirits this spring so the first bottle of what can legally be called whisky will probably be available in 3 years.
There's also two independent bottlings from anonymous distilleries on Islay called Smokehead and The Ileach.

Leaving Islay and traveling the neighboring Jura which has a distillery with the same name, Jura Superstition is their peated whisky.

Other than whiskys from Islay, Jura and Skye (Talisker) I'm quite fond of Highland Park (any bottling pretty much), Oban 14 and anCnoc Peatheart Batch 1.

You should also try different bottlings from Bunnahabhain, Talisker and Lagavulin. My current favorite whisky is the Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival, bottled in 2017.

Inside Facebook, Twitter and Google's AI battle over your social lives
As a member of the relatively hip 20-something social set in New York, I can say with confidence that Instagram is "where it's at" with this group. The introduction of stories and other Snapchat-like features has dramatically increased Instagram's usage among my friends (and definitely snagged plenty of app-hours from the former).

Like the article says, Instagram is absolutely an escape from the hostile interfaces and hostile posts that abound on core Facebook. It's still cool and it's still fun. Whatever the internal power dynamics, it seems unlikely that Facebook would be stupid enough to throw this away. What do they care if their bread gets buttered through the Instagram app?

Another interesting thing to note about Instagram is that a high follower count has become a status symbol. As people invest time and effort in building a large following, their commitment to the platform increases. It wouldn't surprise me if Instagram accounts for more than half of Facebook's value in the near future.
Ours, whos?
There will be more, but I'm not convinced there will be "many." We seem to be hitting a peak of social networks, even if it's only a local maxima.
Many don't even realize Facebook is a company.
I'm having a hard time picturing exactly what could be so hard about getting Comic Sans "ready" in time.
I have a strong skepticism towards aged spirits of any kind due to the traditionalist nature of their production, as well as due to the inherent biases involved in anything food or drink (e.g. wine tasting [1]). Aging is solely a factor of temperature, pressure, and time. Rum aged in the Bahamas ages quicker (by years) than that aged in cooler climates. Likewise, spirits aged at, say, 0C will age very slow, if at all. It's like making tea, where you can steep in cold water, but hot water expedites the process significantly. So why don't any of these spirit producers use a heated pressure chamber with some wood thrown in to "age" their spirits in hours instead of years? The answer is because many countries impose regulatory mandates that for X spirit to be labeled as such, it must be aged a minimum Y time. This minimum can be years for some spirits. Thus producers are forced to age traditionally regardless of the efficiency of their process. And you can't sell your pressure-aged spirit as "120 Years" despite the chemical processes involved being identical to traditional aging. Consumers might also perceive such process as of lesser quality. It's a sham, and the value of supposed quality spirits is artificially inflated by their arbitrary and involved production process, as well as by consumer bias.

Basically when talking about multiple particles, and using the term source, it would be clearer to say "source of x". Yet three times now you've just said "the source".

It seems needlessly confusing so I think there is some reason I'm not grasping that you keep saying "the source".
The hypocrisy bothers me as much as the next person, but the fact of the matter is that Saudi Arabia is an ally. Even though there are factions that fund terrorism, unlike, say, Iran with Hamas, we can complain (and do complain) to Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia will actually try to do something about it, subject (as always) to their own internal power struggles. (Plus, it's not like sanctions convinced Iran to stop funding Hamas or Hezbollah.)

This isn't a coincidence. The British installed the Saudis purposefully, knowing that they would be more accommodating to Western interests. This was reflective of their colonial strategy to install minority groups into power so the minority group would have to rely on external assistance to maintain power. Unlike the fumbling strategies of the Americans or French who simply install puppet regimes, the British strategy means that the rulers can't or won't always do your bidding. But it's a far more stable strategy with better long-term outcomes.

America has to tolerate the Saudis doing things that aren't always in America's best interest, not unlike tolerating the choices of other allies. The alternative is probably a regime like Syria or Iran. Maybe that would be better for Saudi Arabian citizens, but almost certainly not better for American interests--at least not in the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, geopolitical relations don't work like relations between neighbors on a cul-de-sac.

What would that world look like? When you wanted to borrow money, how would the lender expect that they have a good idea of your risk profile? You could tell them all of the companies with which you've had a good relationship, but ignore the ones where you've failed to pay them. If you could default or discharge your obligations without any repercussions, that would essentially end the ability for people to get loans without collateral. Apartment rental companies wouldn't know whether you had broken leases in the past. This would make the entire world much more conservative with their money because they'd have to treat everyone as the same risk profile. There would be no benefit for good economic behavior.

it certainly can be cultural. for example, as noted in another comment, the idea of sitting on, and blocking, stairs strikes japanese folks as rude (i tend to agree, even if mildly). most other cultures wouldn't give it a second thought.

i'd love to see a shift toward pride in craftsmanship (a japanese cultural value), over the pride in ownership americans seem to principally exhibit. you see a rennaisance of this in certain parts of the culture, like fancy barbershops and coffee shops. if we give esteem to bus drivers and train conductors for being on time (a form of craftsmanship), maybe we'd get better service (a tall order, i know).
I would personally be very happy to spend $250 on bottles of Yamazaki 18. I understand that an 18-year Scotch would normally run the $120-160 range, but illogically I would scoop up every single bottle of Yamazaki 18 possible at the price you're seeing.
Presentation is most important when one needs to give further value to sell food overpriced. Compare for example those two meals: https://bit.ly/2ujGdla and https://bit.ly/2KV1jAM

Without any doubt the second ingredients kill the first ones in nourishing value, therefore they have literally to invent new ways of rearranging them so that the presentation "value" justifies the price. I have no doubt the first meal would cost multiple times the second, but no way I would take one even if I'd be fine spending that money for something that could only make me more hungry.

I mean, it's the same company but a different product (aside from the ads which are the real product). IG has pictures that are cute or funny or cool, FB is a sordid wasteland of misinformation, bickering, and unhappiness. I'm ready for IG to devolve into another misinformation machine any day now since that seems like it is really lucrative for FB, but for now I think IG's simplicity and image focused UI filters a lot of the garbage out.
The best way is to set up a trust. Domains and hosting have a maximum period before renewal longest being 20 years. A trust ensures the renewals are completed. One legitimate vendor e.g. Google, would be the best option.
Jim Murray aside, as a general rule with a lot of exceptions, when it comes to North American whiskey, the cheap stuff is usually the good stuff. The "premium brands" --- Templeton, WhistlePig, Stranahan's --- tend to be shady (usually: because they've sourced bulk whiskey from MGP and marked it up). Even when they're not shady, a lot of "craft" whiskey in the US is basically charging you for their inefficiency, not for their quality. So for instance while Few Spirits does a solid, authentic rye, it's a long way from the best value in rye whiskey. There is is whole lot of $50-$60 craft bourbon that is outdone by stuff in plastic jugs --- not necessarily because it's bad (though some of it is), but because the plastic jug stuff can be really good.

It's basically the opposite of the beer market.
I found that study a really strange one as well. They seem to be operating on the tacit assumption that all of the participants are mush-minded simpletons who think "assigning negative terms" in some study somehow had some relevance to anything anywhere in the world. That's absurd. I invite you to find yourself a quiet room and dedicate yourself to writing the most insidious, invective, negative diatribes aimed at me personally that you are capable of manufacturing. You could do it for decades, and absolutely nothing would come of it. Anyone who believes differently is both wrong and probably has some mild form of mental illness which causes them to conflate their own thought processes and imagination with reality.

Asking a person to assign negative terms to photos is as consequential as asking them to whistle or drum their fingers on a desk. It is meaningless and utterly amoral in content. We're not talking about even applying the terms to actual people, but to images. And they're not being monitored or published. There are a million guarantees that what is being done is thoroughly and totally meaningless.
