One interesting point. When watching the Netflix series Chef's Table, one of the chefs worked closely with genetic engineers to make better tasting GMOs. The researcher interviewed said it was the first time in his long career that anyone had asked for him to improve flavor rather than yield or size (sometimes at the detriment of flavor).

While this doesn't pertain to organic food directly it does suggest that the industrial food system may be optimizing for different things than a consumer may want.

“If someone drives for Uber for 1-ride per month should Uber pay $1000/mo for that driver's health insurance? How about 1-ride per week?”

Yes! A thousand times yes! Just because Uber is letting everyone i the door doesn’t mean they should get to dictate new terms of what employment means. Imagine your employeer removing your healthcare and defending the decision with the argument “well we’ve now set it up so anyone can just walk in the door and start working and we’ll pay them per hour worked. I know that’s not what you are doing but we have to treat everyone the same so we’re also cutting your pay”.

Although I agree with jaequery, if you really want a raise the sure fire way is to get another job offer and have your current company match or take the other offer. The biggest raise I've gotten at a company without that is $10k, but changing jobs can gain you much more.
That happens in general for matrices too.
Europe is not the EU.

Europe's total trade is 696.3 billion (with 403.2 billion exported); however, subtracting out JUST the UK's 78.5 billion brings this down to 617.8 billion and 343.6 exported. Remove Russia and you're at 549.8 and 308.8 exported.

The US is 557 billion total with 409.2 exported. The US is China's biggest trading partner.

Let's not even get started on the fact that the US is the major buyer of Chinese goods - nobody buys more. The US imports more dollars worth of goods than any other region except Asia.
Incorrect. Rust does very well at embedding into those dynamic languages. It exports the same ABI C. In fact, due to how well its compilation tools work, IMO it's actually easier to use Rust than C to embed into those languages. The "infrastructure" is usually a just a C header. For Node.js it's more C++, but you'd need to write C++-to-C glue anyways just like you'd need C++-to-Rust glue (of course there's neon [0] that makes this easy).

Basically, for most FFI-based use cases, anything that C can do Rust can do.

Fair enough, but does it do nntp, irc, pop, imap, jabber, etc? Emacs (for better or worse) has a complete network API so people can implement all of these things, and it doesn't want to be limited by a high-level library that only supports some small subset (however large that subset is).
You do see Western journalists go after it, but only from fringe pinko rags, like The Guardian, or The Intercept.

You'll never see Fox News or MSNBC take it seriously (Except when it touches identity politics, like gun registries. Then, all of a sudden, it's a huge issue! Imagine, the government having a record of all gun owners!)

> I agree that he should not be entitled to change his mind about wanting a refund, years down the line.

That's not a refund years after one received a product, it's years after he was promised a product that he has not yet received!

The fact that they gave him prototypes of the product in the meanwhile has little relevance (altough if those "prototypes" were explicitly mentioned as part of what you would get in exchange of the funding, they could be regarded as a partial delivery and their assessed value ought to be discounted from the refund).

But I really don't even know the Kickstarter terms, I'm just speculating...

"China starts from a different point of view — that a strong empowered state is necessary, in order to drag the nation forward."

I highly recommend Martin Jacques' Ted talk [0] on this very subject from over 7 years ago. I believe this aspect of Chinese culture -- of treating the state as being a BIG part of your daily life -- is super important to grasp if one wishes to get a sense of Chinese thinking and way-of-life.

It's also a starting point if one wishes to imagine how a future China might turn out to be.

Very cool to see this technology progress. Will be interesting to track. China certainly has shown that it both can invest in and build public infrastructure at an amazing scale and pace.

It's a little concerning that this isn't really a sale - it's a joint venture. From the article:

"HyperloopTT will form a joint venture with the Tongren authorities, according to the Guizhou provincial government, though the company’s announcement didn’t say whether it would be expected to transfer technology."

Has to be taken with a bit of caution as we've seen how this worked out in high speed rail:

"China's early high-speed trains were imported or built under technology transfer agreements with foreign train-makers including Alstom, Siemens, Bombardier and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Since the initial technological support, Chinese engineers have re-designed internal train components and built indigenous trains manufactured by the state-owned CRRC Corporation." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_China]

You'll find that China now is battling for dominance in the global high speed rail market and the formerly leading European providers (Seimens, Altrom) and in trouble and may have to merge just to survive.

DARPA as the cause of the fallout universe.
Should we be comparing it to trains or planes though?
I thought we hit the top last year but it just keeps going. Never the less I agree with this advice.
This was an interesting article on an area I'd long meant to read about but never had, and there is some great history there. However, I got a very real feeling of "skating to where the puck is not where it is going" sense the farther I read. In particular, the article spends a certain amount of time on the under-development Ariane 6 series and Vega-C. But the comparisons were all to the existing Falcon 9. I wish Mr Berger had asked them at all about the BFR and the implications of a functional high performance methalox engine, because I think that has the potential to be a much bigger leap forward then seems to be generally discussed yet. Methane doesn't give quite the thrust of kerosene or the ISP of hydrogen, but from an economic and chemical-rockets-in-space perspective its got a lot going for it, not all of it immediately obvious. It doesn't coke at rocket temperatures, yet another bonus for more reusability. My understanding is that it's much easier to store then LH2 and the conditions are a closer match for LOX which potentially simplifies a number of steps. It can potentially be harvested or synthesized elsewhere in the solar system more easily. And even the cost factor shouldn't be ignored once the context is reusability, RP-1 isn't actually cheap (it's highly refined, I saw estimates north of $16/gallon). Fuel may be the least expensive part of an expendable rocket to the point it's not generally worried about, but for a reusable rocket a couple of million dollars extra per launch is real additional margin over time.

I'm certainly no expert by any means, but organizations like ArianeGroup comparing under development rockets to existing ones feels as though really sums up some of the issues with Old Space in a nutshell. It seems like they're thinking in terms of building a rocket where that one design might then be used essentially unchanged for 30-50 years despite there being clear theoretical improvements to be had. But that's not how the fully private enterprises seem likely to operate. SpaceX put a fair amount of effort into the Falcon Heavy for example, and it was spectacular. Except now apparently they've decided that it's effectively already obsolete, that BFR is going better then expected which mean FH will serve as a limited use minor stopgap and then be scrapped as a design. Even now I don't know if that sort of aggressiveness has really gotten into the consciousness of older style organizations yet.

I guess if they're comfortable with basically becoming a jobs program and massively subsidized strategic fallback for the EU that is in fact potentially sustainable a long time. Polities can have different levels of very long term priorities that are different from the faster pace of industry, there's nothing wrong with that. But it's a position that has risks too if the gap opens up too far, because it takes a very long time to make up that ground (if ever).
It wasn't obvious for me either. I also didn't get the scrolling element. It seems to be a merge of emails and todo? Still not really clear. Perhaps an introduction video could help? I'm also concerned on information security. There could be a really clever solution how full privacy and match prioritising emails. Senders and subject lines are sensitive.

At work I currently get 1000-2000 email per day, of which about 500 need personal attention, including calendar invites. This sounds horrendous, and it ain't great, but Outlook is surprisingly adept at rule setting, being really responsive, and integrated with Office (and to a lesser extent Skype, OC was more pleasurable for the from a UX perspective) to make this manageable.

False. You see it all the time.

Not sure I buy that, either. The US may be more aggressive in terms of information collected, and in terms of global scope. It's less aggressive than China in terms of being used to control the lives of the entire population of the country, though.

Well this isn't necessarily an this or this situation they are two very different libraries fulfilling two very different purposes.

That being said not very many greenfield js projects in the last 5 years have brought in jQuery as a dependency and that's because (as others have pointed out) it's dated. Everything you can do with jQuery vanilla JS now does.

React is always a safe bet to learn, an amazing framework that has taken over professional front end development (for very good reasons). Some people will try to push you to Vue.js because thats the new thing (and it also is a very easy library to get started with) but if you're looking for having a new skill React can't be beat. (It still has more than 5x the amount of downloads per month than Vue.js)

However before you get into any framework make sure you know modern javascript.

It doesn't matter who invested the "most", Android is a joint venture and would not exist without the efforts of manufacturers and Linux itself.

Furthermore, Google gained a lot of money through Android, it's in no way a charity or a gift.

And given that they gave it for free to destroy all competition, charging money all of a sudden for it might attract some regulatory attention even in the US.
I've been using R for 20 years, and I think the history does matter.

R is an open source clone of S, which had some traction with rigorous statisticians via Bell Labs. So it had stats at its core. R was just a version of S that had less overhead and was easier to access.

The explosive growth of R really is more about the explosive growth of stats and data analysis than anything else. R and S were sort of growing within the stats community anyway, and then when stats took off, so did R. I think it's open source quality and the fact that it is more similar to other programming platforms than SAS or Stata helped too as stats branched out into computer science.

Lisp is an interesting comparison with lessons for Haskell. XLispStat was a competitor to R very early on but died out relatively quickly. I always was sad about that, because I loved lisp, and it was great having stats embedded in a broader language, but the reaction was uniformly the same: that lisp was just too weird, too hard to read, and too hard to program in. Lisp has diminished in importance in computer science more broadly, but didn't die out in the same way XLispStat did in stats.

Haskell is suffering similar issues. The lack of ecosystem is partly because it's coming from the outside in, rather from the inside out, but part of it is because it is just perceived as odd. I love functional programming but am increasingly becoming convinced that any language that pushes too hard on one paradigm is going to lose out to one that is less pure. As great as functional approaches are, sometimes it's just easier to think and organize procedurally, and this is increasingly true as you get closer to the metal.

The real elephant in the room is the poor performance of the languages currently dominating data science, whether that be R or Python. The LLVM basically made it possible to right a conceptually clean language that also exhibits good performance, so we don't have to choose between expressive and performant languages so much, unless you're talking about embedded systems or low-level systems programming. Although many people don't want to program a GLM (and maybe shouldn't be for integrity's sake) there are many times when going down to the likelihood function and optimization level for an unusual case shouldn't result in a huge performance hit. You shouldn't have to change to C or even Rust for something that conceptually isn't that much lower level. Things like Julia and Nim really make this possible, and is where things will probably eventually head (even if I'm not sure it will be either of those). I also wonder if we'll see things like Rust taking off via higher-level extensions such as Lia or Gluon.

My guess is that if "functional" languages will take off with stats, it will be through something like OCaml (especially if that gets its distributed/parallelism worked out quickly enough).
If it was beneficial, the company would be trying to give us their data so that the company could benefit. They certainly wouldn't just be taking everyone's data and providing benefits to customers not paying for that benefit.
Just like healthcare, everyone believes no one should be left to die without healthcare, but when it comes to voting for politicians who support government funded healthcare for everyone, apparently we don't believe that. Better to try and get someone else to pay for it.

Maybe it's regional - on the East Coast, business casual is dress pants / dress shoes and a polo / button down shirt - sleeve length doesn't matter. Women - dresses / skirts - they can wear pants / blouses if they choose.

Casual is usually jeans / polos / non-offensive t-shirts / sandals (no thong flip flops)

At my company - t-shirts with sports on them (football, hockey, etc...) are allowed. I'm about to test the envelop and see if I can wear a polo from a recent race car event I went to. Racing is a sport, and the polo is nice, but due to the nature of racing, it's covered in company logos - Ferarri, Infinity, etc... The front is not so bad, few logos on either chest. The back is kinda loud.

We'll see...

>Get credit while the economy is good

So much this. If you don't have many credit cards I would highly recommend going out and getting a few right now. I went from $0 to $30,000 in available credit in a month, and my score jumped 100 points. The offers are crazy. It's standard these days to get 0% for 18 months, no fee, and 50,000 bonus points. They are literally paying you $500 to use their card for a year at 0%. As long as you're smart enough to never carry a balance it's literally free money. I've made over $1000 in bonuses this year on top of cash back, just by rotating my regular daily spending over 3 different new cards.
> I wonder what the practical side effects are of being off by one when discussing events that happened c. thousands of years ago.

A days-as-dots representation[1] has one day precision at a thousand years BP, and since accuracy of a day or week is often possible, it was actually an issue. Wrestling with "everyone has their own odd calendar" was a pain.

[1] "History shown with days as dots - so centuries fit on a screen"'s "Days-as-dots demo" was basically an exploratory UX test piece: http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/QEt9x . The Google Books and Google Newspapers links are regrettably rotted - it was great fun to click on random days in the 1800's and 1900's and read random newspapers of that day. :/ The inset NY Tribune from the Library of Congress still works. My fuzzy impression is the google newspapers database is simply unavailable now?
No need. Majority of the population are statists. I, too, was once a statist.
I saw "kanban for email" and thought "ugh.", because it sounds like a very "an engineer thought of this" idea, but then I saw the product shots and the usefulness of it did jump out at me. This looks handy.

If you're a manager and you're getting compensated for keeping the wheels greased for your team, that's great. But if you're a regular IC being selfish about conserving your limited attention and energy isn't immoral at all. Being the guy who helps everyone else get stuff done often goes unrecognized in any meaningful way. Worse, being that guy all the time (rather than some budgeted proportion of your time) can prevent you from getting the stuff you will be recognized for shipping from shipping, and can cost you the focus needed to benefit in other ways (learning/practicing your deeper technical skills).
