Oh, there are certainly a multitude of diet religions out there. Paleos, vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, non-celiac glutenphobes, ketos, the list goes on and on. Recently my mother-in-law read a book blaming all of the ills of the world on lectins that she took to heart, and wouldn't eat beans or tomatoes or grains for months.

The most aggravating thing about the diet religions is that nobody seems to be able to keep to themselves and practice quietly, they are compelled to evangelize and convert the heathen to the True Way. It's very tiresome when you have more important things to be concerned about than what you are putting down your gullet.
As more and more skilled work moves online and becomes disintermediated we’ll see more of that. I’m guessing that upwork and similar websites are the start of that though they still have the problem that they’re a market for lemons, people who are good learn relatively quickly they can get better pay outside them. Software is probably the leading edge of the sectors that lots of knowledge work will eventually follow. You have marketplaces like instapainting.com for art work. I’m sure there are others and if there aren’t it’s an opportunity some software entrepreneurs will exploit.
I read the blogpost and I was wondering what I was missing. Then I looked to the left of the page, and saw it was categorized as 'Growth'. So this is like a little advertisement for Brandwatch?

This is awesome, thanks! I would have killed for this years ago.
Although LHC experiments are toward the top of the heap in terms of data rates, many particle and astronomical experiments produce "big data". One quarter of the DUNE experiment will acquire about 50 EB/year (that's exabyte), outputting about 10 PB/year to tape. LSST will produce data in the few PB/year range.

Saturated fat has been vindicated by a majority of modern studies while polyunsaturated has been crucified. Selling us industrial vegetable oils as food was clever. That doesn't mean we should eat a aide of bacon a day, but avoiding whole unprocessed foods containing saturated fats for any reason other than calorie count is flawed. And dietary cholesterol does not correlate with ldl, nor does ldl strongly correlate with death.
Your point is well taken, though it's worth noting that the article you linked isn't criticising having plenty of space per se, but rather having lots of space just to show off instead of because you actually have a good use for it. We do entertain groups of friends often at home, and while we're not particularly interested in big formal rooms for much the same reasons as given in that article, we certainly would like more space and more furniture in a configuration that would work better when friends and family are over than the "normal" room we use today.
What makes them dodgy?
Maybe you have a bias because of your favorable financial situation (which is normal in here). For most people in the world, a reliable $10/month to cover their Netflix subscription or buy them a meal would be something they'd be very happy about.

Also I think the reason you willingly give data to Google for Gmail is that you don't have a choice. It's take-it-all, the spam filters and the data mining, or leave it and use ProtonMail, no in-between.
I always assumed that this had to do with antioxidants in grapes and nothing to do with alcohol itself. That's not so far fetched to me, but why not just drink grape juice?
It was a reflection inspired by the day we had together as a company. I wouldn't say it's an advert, but I do like working there.

Not to belittle your examples, but in a historical context the LHC held a specific position. Remember that the ATLAS/CMS/ALICE/LHCb experiments started recording data at 10 GB/s back in 2008. Now, ten years later it is only natural that large data rates are becoming the norm.
Gender Pay Gap at Uber Not Caused by Discrimination
Removing taxation of them as medical devices makes sense, additional tax credits towards the purchase seems a reach as does requiring employers beyond a certain size to provide them. that should last entry should be covered by the medical plan. that does not mean they should not stock them in employee rest rooms for making work life stresses easier to cope with because there are just "those" days. What needs legislation is guaranteeing women access to facilities to take care of menstrual needs should that arise during work hours.

the fact that we need intervention to get jails to treat prisoners of any sex humanely is ridiculous and those bills focusing on that element need to fast track separately and quickly. state and county run facilities are some of the worst because they hide behind sovereign immunity and their officials use qualified immunity to skirt helping inmates.
Tier 2 Sponsors (UK) for Software Engineers?
Hello! Although I did my postgraduate degree in the UK, I was forced to leave soon after because I could not arrange a position wherein the employer was able to sponsor me for a Tier 2 visa.

I am now much further along in my career, and believe I possess a skillset which might motivate an employer to go through the trouble of visa sponsorship. So, I'm now looking to relocate to the UK (London, preferably).

So, the question - does anyone know of employers who are capable of Tier 2 sponsorship, and are actively looking for engineers?

Although I don't really want to post all my information here, my user name is indeed my (full) real name.

It's no fun being labelled as 'fussy'. As a researcher I often work with doctors who ask for analysis with p-values on all sorts of inappropriate data sets, pushing back and telling them "you cannot draw any valid inference from this" can be quite hard.

The syntax used by SQL Server doesn't follow the standard. Or, in other words, the standard syntax gives an error in SQL server. However, I'll note that there is an alternative syntax in future versions of these slides.

Sadly, the ML research in physics and in the rest of the world are extremely disconnected. To the point where one side has never heard of the tools that the other side uses all day.

I think the blame here is mostly on the science community which isn't paying much attention to ML tooling, best practices and research and instead keeps reinventing the wheel, over and over again.

Your personal data has a cash value only because it can be used to influence future purchasing decisions. It's a simple equation, $x worth of personal data has a y% chance of generating sales worth >$x. It therefore stands to reason that the market value of the personal data of a person who doesn't have as much purchasing power will be less, and may not even cover the cost of stealing and then processing it.

If you aren't actually creating content [art, software, serious writing, etc] then using a mobile is fine for just consuming and it isn't surprising that these groups don't know how to use a computer.

It is sad though, that young people appear to be less computer literate in terms of creating content (as an overall percentage of previous generations).

Being allowed to record video (e.g. in a cab for security reasons) does not imply you can freely publish it. Copyright doesn't say anything about potential other rights of the people depicted - e.g. copyright of a photograph of a person doesn't imply you can freely use it for all purposes.

That said, in the US these rights are very weak compared to other countries, so this might very well be legal. In some states, audio recording without consent is not legal, but Missouri appears to be one-party-consent.
Is it impossible to do anything these days without stupid buzzwords and catchphrases?
"menstrual equity", "tampon tax", "period poverty"...
I agree with the points of the people behind this, but this just makes me take them less seriously. Say it like it is: "We want menstrual hygiene products to be exempted from sales tax and mandatory in all public restrooms". No sane person is going to argue against that.
This feels like the architectural equivalent of linguistic prescriptivism. If "basic architectural concepts" declare buildings to be "especially hideous", but people are seemingly happy to buy and live in them, what grounds do we have to decide that the people are wrong and not the concepts?
Re. plastics specifically, the synthesis of these almost universally uses compounds of at least some toxicity. It's not easy to set up, control and maintain a reactor such that you get a very clean product containing very little of the original compounds. For durability, that doesn't really matter. But when you don't want plastics to contaminate things, then you really need high quality plastics.

That's why e.g. kids toys and most of the plastic things you touch or put your food in/on are made from the cheapest plastics someone was able to make (because we're cheap fucks), while industrial piping, fittings etc. (which are quite common in many industries, because many substances are incompatible with steel piping, and stainless steel piping is even more expensive, and still incompatible with many substances) are still largely made in first-world countries and cost approx 2-10 times more per kg than cheap plastics. The former has all sorts of chemical dirt in it, while the latter only requires a few purging passes at most to not contaminate your product.
> I’ve been in old beautiful office buildings in NYC and modern ugly office buildings and the modern buildings usually have a much better working environment and layout.

I'm not literate in architecture, but there is one dimension that seems prominently easy to identify to me: with the singular "brutalism" at one end; and an open ended array of ornate at the other.

I think the "modern" functional office building architecture you refer to are close to the brutalism end (but not at it), and therefor not a fair comparison. These mansions are quite far form it, whoever is designing them cares about the aesthetic, but regardless of your taste they seem to lack something... cohesion and thoughtfulness perhaps, they want to be something but they don't seem to know what - it makes them feel fake.
> One thing I wonder, having seen a few articles recently about people leaving big cities[1], is whether this is a new trend or simply the same thing that happens every generation as people grow older and their priorities change?

I don't think so - not in general. I think it largely depends on the economical situation. My grandparents (and with them many others) have done the exact opposite because it made economical sense back then.

SQL certainly is a programming language. It is a member of the declarative family of languages (eg. like Regular Expressions, or Prolog), rather than an imperative/procedural one.

There is definitely a lot of corner-cutting when it comes to new housing construction in the US for the low end of the market, but it's usually seen with poor insulation and energy efficiency, low-quality cladding and paints, and "builder-grade" fixtures. Very rarely have I seen chipboard or MDF used. OSB, on the other hand, is used even in high-end construction and, as an engineered alternative to plywood, has a number of benefits over plywood including increased strength, lower cost, and lower environmental impact.

As for staple gun and nail construction, I can't say that I've seen the former, but nails are a superior fastener to screws for many structural applications such as framing because they have a higher shear strength than screws. A nailed stick-frame house doesn't require specialized tools or skills to build, is relatively low-cost and uses renewable resources, and can easily last 100+ years. It's an excellent choice for many houses in the US.
Phone numbers are the new social security numbers
I can't think of much more condescending than applauding women for dealing with a completely normal fact of life. Women could applaud themselves for it, but they don't because they just get on with it. Should we also applaud men for dealing with problems unique to men? Or maybe applaud all of us for dealing with colds and flus every year?

If you're a man, focus on problems unique to men or common to all of us. 50% of the population are women and they can focus on the problems unique to women.

Here are the highlights from the Twitter discussion linked in the article:

My office bought tampons for female visitors and our staff. Then we got an email from @HouseAdmnGOP telling us we couldn’t use funds to purchase a necessary hygiene product. That’s ridiculous.

Would @HouseAdmn also say you shouldn’t buy facial tissue for those in the office who sneeze or have runny nose? Who pays for toilet paper on Capitol Hill? Thank you, @RepSeanMaloney, for yr efforts towards gender equity in workplace + elimination of #periodstigma cc @jweisswolf

In more than 22 states, feminine hygiene products like tampons are taxed, while rogaine and Viagra are not. Please help shine the spotlight and THANK YOU on behalf of women.

BUT YOU CAN USE FUNDS TO PAY THE LEGAL FEES FOR THEM FOR THEIR SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES????? WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE????
To a huge number of people, we're tired of minimalism because it's been around for quite a long time and feels quite dated, and isn't as sleek or comfortable as it should be.

This extends to the flat design movement. I hated it 10 years ago when it first started to appear and I don't hate it any less now. I'd take some mild skeuomorphism any day. I just wish it'd go away and fast. It felt positively ancient and overdone 5 years ago--these days it's feeling like a disease that I can't get rid of.
Many places do not collect sales tax on food. In NYC, for instance, prepared foods are taxed but general groceries are not.

And you’re free to lobby for lifting taxes on glasses. I’d support that.

The argument against sales tax on feminine hygiene products is that its punitive towards and entire class of people. It’s especially difficult for women in or on the edge of poverty.

People who are already struggling to choose between food and rent or food and utilities can’t easily afford and extra $25/mo to keep from bleeding all over their clothes. Adding $2 in tax on top of that can mean forgoing another two meals.

I’ve spoken to women who would just stuff their underwear with toilet paper from their workplace bathrooms and pray they didn’t leak through, because they couldn’t afford anything more reliable.

This is something men don’t have to worry about, and unfortunately it’s still almost entirely men writing the laws about what gets taxed.

From the abstract:

"For any problem involving pixels or spatial representations, common intuition holds that convolutional neural networks may be appropriate. In this paper we show a striking counterexample to this intuition via the seemingly trivial coordinate transform problem, which simply requires learning a mapping between coordinates in (x,y) Cartesian space and one-hot pixel space. Although convolutional networks would seem appropriate for this task, we show that they fail spectacularly. We demonstrate and carefully analyze the failure first on a toy problem, at which point a simple fix becomes obvious."

Yeah, though adding more taxes will be hard, people don't like more taxes and the car industry will fight hard to keep selling cars to individuals.

With some good regulation and investing in infrastructures we could reduce the car accidents and pollution today without having to wait decades until most cars will be self driving cars, but we don't have the regulation and investment unfortunately.
Yes but some devices will have screens more like paper. We're slowly seeing small steps towards that. For example Wacom now talks up their tablet screens for feeling more like paper when you draw on them with the pen. The glass has more granular resistance or something. I think iPad Pro also makes these claims.

In terms of reading, I guess in time the very thin screens that can be rolled up will hit the market.

That may have changed a bit now. I'm no longer part of the physics community, but it seems that the physicists at least are relying more and more on mainstream tools.

Unrelated to the meat of your post, but neat that you worked with Stefi Baum and Chris O'Dea at ASTRON! I worked with them as an undergraduate, after they had moved to Rochester, NY. I did the ASTRON summer program shortly afterwards. Always fun to see these kinds of randomly-occurring "small world" overlaps.
Oh the breakdown of the old European style of warfare happened long before that, really people should be calling the Napoleonic wars WWI and the two wars we call WWI and WWII, two and three instead.

But by the time WW2 was over, society was conditioned to think of the technological aspects of the wars rather than the social. But chivalry used to be an actual thing.
