I love the MaxInboundMessageSize example. I've run into that many times.

Often there will be a note in the release notes about it, and I know I should read the release notes in detail when I upgrade dependencies, but like many people I don't always. Sometimes it's just laziness or complacency -- especially for "utility" libraries like for compression or encoding -- but other times it's a challenge with release notes:

* Each version has each release note published independently (or worse: only on the Releases tab in GitHub, and you have to click to expand to read each)

* The release notes are really long or dense, and breaking changes are easily missed

There's also worse problems:

* The release notes don't actually call out the breaking change (you have to read each ticket in detail)

* The release notes just say "Bug fixes" or there are no release notes

I think along with the suggestions in this article, library authors should also put effort into making good release notes. This includes realizing sometimes people are using from a couple major versions and/or years ago.

Sable is relatively ancient and badly in need of deprecation. (If I remember correctly, as of 2011 it was sort of in a "please consider alternate storage solutions" mode.) It is the closest to a single point of failure I can think of at Amazon.

Hopefully this is the kick in the ass they need to move to something more robust.
I’m trying to differentiate “market network” from “marketplace” and I’m not clear that the distinction is adjacent but instead the latter is a type of the former.

The question then becomes: if presenting on this to an investor, how would another investor defend the difference as being more than just a repackaged term?
I disagree. The modern act of viewing a digital ad produces more data than people realize. How long you looked at an ad, whether you clicked it, whether you skipped it or tried to hide it, etc. All of those implicit actions create data that is then surrendered to the collector.

The difference is that the heat is going the moment I get in my car. Not as efficient (and, to be fair, my experience is a bit dated here [~15 years]), but I don't have to freeze my butt off for 10 mins waiting.
I have 3D Touch and use this handy cursor all the time but I would welcome a transition to a hold down on the spacebar. 3D Touch doesn’t always fire when I press down hard and I wish it was more reliable to enable. Using the hard press always makes me worry I’m going to either drop my phone or crack the glass.

Because it doesn’t always fire my muscle memory has evolved to just press down harder to increase
reliability. And it’s still only sees 90% of my hard presses.
The reason why I emphasize immigration is because it is much harder and more expensive to increase the supply of babies via policy as the current trend we've seen is of less babies as people become more educated and it takes a much longer time to raise kids until they become productive and their lives may go in the wrong direction in the growing-up process. Its much more easily just to bring in skilled immigrants or immigrants with money and to settle them in Canada and then either get rid or integrate them dependant on their actions.
> I would ditch the idea of widespread genetic correlations on complex traits, switch to a method that describes what genes (and their interactions) actually do to the human body. For example, this specific gene does x to a neurotransmitter which can interact with y or z to cause changes like this or that. (And I know it's actually more complicated than just a straight mapping of gene X -> trait Y.)

> With my method you can still say that no matter the environment gene x does this thing which can interact with gene y or gene z or environmental factors a, b, c in certain ways.

If you arguing that it is better to understand all of the casual pathways a gene influences a trait than to not understand that, then I strongly agree. If you are arguing that understanding which genes casually influence which complex traits is useless until we know all of the casual pathways that gene affect a trait then I'll have to disagree just as strongly.

> I think that proving intelligence is XX% genetic is basically meaningless since we can't actually remove environmental effects and if I'm really honest I think it's popularity in the culture is usually driven by spurious motives.

First proving what % of intelligence is heritable is not the purpose of GWAS's. Twin studies are used for this, and they've found that intelligence is highly heritable.(far higher than 11%)

Ways that GWAS's are useful without removing environment effects.

- Embryo selection

- Tests to figure out risk for certain diseases for preventative purposes

- Used to figure out what are important pathways in complex traits/disease. For instance if everyone with a certain defective enzyme has a 50% reduction in heart attacks this could lead to a drug candidate

> New study shows that IQ is 11% genetic
> Is that at least 11% of their intelligence comes straight from their DNA, not that actually we could change 11% to 5% or 8% or 17% or most any number we want just by changing some laws or fortifying food or any number of environmental changes. The popularity of genetics research in popular media requires this bait-and-switch about what is actually going on.

If you are arguing that some people(maybe even a lot) misunderstand the definition of genetic causation in a similar way that you previously did, then that might be true. But when any experts, or any study talks about genetic causation they are using the definition the rest of us are using on the this thread.
> Reported to the police for a crime. Stalking and threatening someone is a crime.

Outsider Question: Does the UK operate on presumed guilt or presumed innocence?

If the latter, what options do the police have? In the US, although state-by-state, we have options ranging from "The accused automatically is arrested / sent before a judge" to "temporary restraining order, and at least one party must vacate the premises" to "nothing."
> You can just take connection and activation weights and write a simple neural network equivalent in an evening. And it would work about as good as a hardware simulation.

I'm under the impression that this is very far from a settled thing. In effect, we don't know whether the stochastic and quantum effects are important or not. Perhaps that is the secret sauce, and it is not possible to approximate it using "crude" mathematical models we use today.

Do you have any links to research that supports your idea?
Serious question. How is it that Google makes billions of dollars on ads and newspapers that depend on ads are suffering?

I think there's a lot of potential in targeting markets where service providers are not commodities, but the higher value and subjectivity of the services they provide creates a greater challenge. I think getting clients and service providers to trust these new market networks will be much more difficult than it is to trust the Ubers/Lyfts because of the higher value. (I think AirBnB is actually pretty close to a market-network.)
I wrote an assignment in my undergrad neuropsychopharmacology course that the hallucinations and abnormal behaviour ambien causes might be due to a similar mechanism of action as ketamine. I was almost entirely going off my own recreational experiences, but I think I managed to find some paper linking GABA-A antagonism to NMDAR glycine binding.

U2F really, really isn't at all like client certificates. The certs baked into tokens are for _batches_ the specification says (and famous implementations like those from Yubico do this) that a batch of thousands of similar keys should have the same certificate, it exists to say e.g. "This is a Genuine Mattel Girl Power FIDO Token" versus "This a Bank Corp. Banking Bank Security Token". Relying parties are discouraged from examining it, since in most cases there's no reason to care.

Unlike your GnuPG key, the FIDO token isn't an identity. The token is designed so that a particular domain can verify that it is talking to the same token it talked to last time, but nothing more. So e.g. if you use your GnuPG key for PornHub, GitHub and Facebook, anyone with access to all three systems can figure out that it's the same person. Whereas if you use the same FIDO token, that's invisible even to someone with full backend access to all three systems.

Nanoscale carbon, as present in exhaust, can migrate far beyond the pulmonary system into the heart, liver, brain, and even into developing fetuses and the placenta. There's significant evidence that it causes beta-amyloid accumulation in the brain, as well as macrophage migration and astrocyte inflammation.

There's a lot of evidence that it's not just the current generation, it's the future generations after the soot exposure ends that are harmed if there is in-utero exposure.
I was going to comment about this but wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

However, I would not characterize what the article encourages as lying, but, rather, bluster is the word I'd choose.

More importantly, my impression of the article (confirme by the sibling comment) is that this is being advocated because that is actually what the VCs want, to the point where they either asked for it explicitly or asked for a lack of the opposite (humility).

Granted, there are specific suggestions to fabricate, literally fake, or pretend, but these need to be understood in context.

> Nonetheless, investors want to hear a passionate origin tale. If you don’t have one, make one up.

Does the factual accuracy of such a story make a bit of difference in terms of due diligence in the business sense, as opposed to, say, other history, such as education/skills/experience of the founders?

> My advice to founders: fake it. Pretend you know exactly what the product will be in five years, even though you know your plan will change.

This seems almost silly to criticize, taken in context. As with the rest of the paragraph, there's no advocacy for a founder to falsely claim anything credible. Rather, the advice is to claim, confidently, the incredible (which everyone involved already knows not to be true, because it can't be true). The point is the confidence, evangelism, and, well, bluster.

To me, this actually paints the VCs in a bad light, rather than the OP founders. It's one thing to encourage a high degree of confidence (perhaps as a proxy for perseverence), but there's a danger of becoming too accustomed to believing seven impossible things before breakfast and thereby blurring the line between credible and incredible, as well as blurring the line between confident and over-confident.

Of course, that doesn't matter if alternate funding decision techniques do no better at overall returns. It's easy to call out Theranos and Juicero as examples, but they just as easily could be nothing more than selection bias.
> But also because it makes the PhD not much different than working in industry.

I believe this is viewed as a feature, and not a bug. For the most part, academia serves as one of the few reliable ways to emigrate to the U.S., and exploits that fact to generate a large pool of inexpensive labor. In exchange, these students are rewarded with a US visa and a comparatively well-paying job.

Neither party expects these graduates to stay in academia, so the ability to follow orders, work to a deadline, and solve highly-abstract problems provide a much more tangible benefit than inculcating the creativity, communication skills, and bureaucratic know-how that differentiates successful professors.

In many ways, including these reasons, I think the PhD is starting to be viewed by some as a "super-Masters degree" that simply requires more work or takes longer, rather than as requiring a distinct, different skillset.

Note that this is based only on my observations of a top-50 US graduate program; this might be totally different in a top-4 program, for example. However, one data point I found particularly persuasive is that in our program with ~300 PhD students, we have fewer than 30 (and probably fewer than 10) students with US citizenship or green cards.

Define "crime". Is all reported crime to be recorded as such? Police cannot take the word of everyone who reports, and often well-meaning people report things that are not in fact crimes. Police do not investigate all crimes witnessed or reported by the public. No force in the world has such resources. But they cannot honestly record alleged crimes as actual crimes, nor can we hold them responsible for counting all the crime that the public doesn't report to them. So it is normal for public surveys to be different than those from police reports.
> These are facts about two monopolies

If you poke through my comments, you'll find we share antipathy for Facebook and, to a less degree, Google. That antipathy, however, is an opinion. Not a fact. Neither Facebook nor Google are monopolies by any common definition.

Their business models disagree with our values. But a lot of Americans do as well. Your comments forego the debate necessary to establish agreement, and in that respect I think they are inflammatory. (As well as unproductive towards our common cause of convincing people these companies should be regarded with more caution.)
A bunch of friends endorsed me for "Cooking". It's not untrue :)
There were actually multiple talking-heads / segments, with the linked video being the final one. It started with a woman with short-hard (Maddow?) and transitioned to that man.

The video you linked proceeds to list random Twitter users' jokes about tactical pants, e.g. "Chuck Norris Action Jeans" or how one might need the pants to sleep on a used Trump mattress. One would be mistaken for thinking this is Comedy Central's latest political comedy show and not "reputable" news.

> Where the talking head concedes the pants were apparently sensible?

Yes, after spending much time mocking the purchase the video concedes the purchase was perfectly normal (it was actually 40 pairs of pants at roughly $40 per pair.)

So why spend time and effort reporting a non-story on a mainstream "news" channel? It seems they are trying to fill the spot the Colbert Report vacated.
There may be other reasons, but trying to look like you’re doing a good job can be a conflict, as while higher crime rates might justify higher budgets in the future, they’d also lower the rate of solving and preventing crimes which are seen as metrics of police success.

Other than relying on 100% of police to be 100% ethical (and even without congnitive biases), which obviously isn’t ever going to be the case, third parties are probably always going to be necessary to improve accuracy.
The issues I've heard from a few people in hiring is that there is a surplus of junior data scientists from these camps and a shortage of senior data scientists to manage them. Problems not dissimilar to tech hiring in general, but companies need a lot more SWEs than data scientists.
Revenue: sales recorded.

This might or might not represent cash coming through the door in this quarter, but it represents that there is an agreement for cash and goods/services to change hands.

Operating income:

Money left over after you subtract the costs of operating the business and making the sale. In a manufacturing firm, for example, you would subtract the cost of the materials in the goods sold. For Google they are deducting things like the running costs of data centres and wages for staff.

Operating margin:

You can think of this as raw profitability. Given the things management has direct, somewhat immediate control over, how good is the company at taking in more money than they spend?

Net income:

Take the Operating Income and then subtract taxes, interest payments, depreciation of assets and the like. These are all expenses, but not expenses directly connected to current activities.

In the rest of the figures they give metrics that are intended to help analysts understand the dynamics of the business that lead to the financials. So for example they showed how different categories contribute to the bottom line. They also show headcount, which can be seen as a leading signal of intention and ability to grow the business. That operating income has grown even with a very large headcount growth is impressive.

I am not a lawyer, accountant or financial advisor, don't rely on this as professional or investment advice.
"Specifically, I tell them that it is best if they know before they even apply who they want to work with and in what capacity."

I append this with the advice that one should never go to a place where their prospective advisor is the only person they can imagine working with.

Primarily because:

"Know the pluses and minuses of their advisor. The best grad students I have seen have read at least some of the research of all of the tenured professors in the department, and they know who is strong and who is weak. They will also have a feel for the politics. These folks are rare, but they are usually the future big time academics."

Is often something that will only come out in time. You can try to figure these things out, and get a good idea, but there are subtle nuances to people that only comes by knowing them.

"This might be true in schools or departments with very weak research programs. Even then, an advisor advocating for a specific applicant, even if it is a rare occurrence, would most likely be accommodated."

My PhD department worked on the "No specific advisor when admitted, lots of coursework" model, and characterizing it as having a "very weak research program" would make you look like an idiot.

The issue isn't pilot lights for the oven itself; it's the stovetop. Most of the ones I've seen have individual electric lighters for each burner, which must be semi-manually activated (by turning the knob past "maximum" to a "light" setting until it catches). If you turn it to on without lighting it, or turn it off enough to put out the fire but not enough to completely cut off gas flow, you'll get a constant gas leak.
The academic route is basically a form of modern-day indentured servitude, which is another way in which wages for American students who decided upon pursuing a PhD for "the life of the mind" rather than economic reasons are depressed (e.g., Indians are willing to work for much less because it's their only way in, and the money is much better than developing countries). I have little faith that efforts at unionization among grad students and adjuncts will gain any traction until this is addressed.

tl;dr: Immigration reform would be a godsend for restoring some sense of sanity to the system.
On the other hand I have a new MacBook Pro with Force Touch and can't drag and drop anymore. It's stupid. I attempt 5 times until I manage to grab one icon. Apparently it's a feature, not a bug.
>If you're not in the top 0.1% of your field you shouldn't be doing a PhD in the first place.

Oh come on. I'm doing a PhD right now, but it's simply unrealistic to ask everyone admitted to the program to delude themselves into thinking they're in the top 0.1% of those admitted to the program.
I was at an amazing job that I loved and debating about proposing to my girlfriend. The catch was I knew if we were going to stay together I’d have to move for her Masters and therefore leave the awesome job.

I choose the girl over the job, and while it took me a long time to not be sad I had to make the choice I have never regretted it. 10 years later I can say is I’ve ended up in an awesome place and enjoy life immensely.

I don’t have much to tell 25 year old me.* I made the right big decisions in defining and pursuing my priorities.

What I do generally tell 25 year olds is to think clearly about WHY you are making decisions. Write it down- there is something about writing or typing that feels like commitment. If you do that, you can end up still making decisions you regret, but you are less likely to make them, and even when you do you won’t find yourself as frustrated at where you ended up.
