"Fortunately" we also have the shrinking working and middle class fortunes to counter-balance that.

Yep, the last time I even cared about one of those games you had to text in the number to see if you won anything and twice in a row they came back as "already entered", think the employees were doing it in their spare time since it was just printed on the outside of the box.

"On 27 July 2012, the Financial Times published an article by a former trader which stated that Libor manipulation had been common since at least 1991."

In other words, this came to light under the previous US POTUS and - much like the crash of 2007 / 2008 - __nothing__ happened. It's amazing how much power the MSM has over the narrative(s) and public perception.

Wow! I've started with 2.5 mg and now 20 mg does nothing to me. I've been doing it sooo wrong. I hope the tolerance is going to fall now as I've stopped taking it and I will be able to use it the right way going with 0.3mg. That's such a pity you can't just get any better kind of a sleeping pill without a prescription if you don't want to mess with circadian rhythms and just want to fall asleep whenever you have time but can't. So many people actually have irregular schedules: day and night shifts mixed chaotically etc. I actually don't think I know anybody who would go to bed at the same time every night. I wish I had Ambien for occasions like that (I don't drive) but it seems impossible to get without a doctor.

In fact I've tried to do some research but failed to find any information about undesirable effects and DON'Ts of melatonin at the time when I've started taking it (some years ago). It seemed a wonder drug everybody should be taking all the time - it just makes you sleep well whenever you choose to, protects from oxidative stress, boosts your immunity etc. But now I know: tolerance (including tolerance to endogenic melatonin which means screwing your natural circadian system) is what you pay (I could find not a single mention of melatonin tolerance until today).
This is going to be a totally anecdotal post:
In my twenties I had the same problem when waking up, slept 7-8 hours, worked out, good job, super healthy diet but woke up exhausted, miserable, and borderline depressed 9/10 days. It took two years and lot of blood tests over time but turns out I had Hashimoto's disease, which lead to hypothyroidism. It is rare for someone in their 20s but I guess I beat the odds :), although it dose affect about 5% of the population at some time. My point here is your story seems very similar to mine (i.e possible thyroid issue) so maybe talk to your Dr about the possibility, especially if this has been a long term issue.

It's tough. I experienced that at a previous job, at a consulting firm, which prized Excel expertise over everything else (eg over data science skills with Python).

I just left, as I knew there was no easy way to argue.

I think you're in a tough spot. Unless you're very senior, and have buy-in from all the higher-ups, it's going to be almost impossible to change the course of the company. Unless you have a specific reason to stay, I'd move on. It'll be a huge battle that you're most likely going to lose, and even if you win, you'll be blamed for all the downsides of the solution you propose. That was my experience.

I am not sure having all of that together in one demo would help or just be to much noise. It might be better to pull each feature in to its own isolated demo. That you can see how they are differ.
When they spoof are they using otherwise valid numbers? That is, if you returned the call you'd speak to someone's grandmother?

It depends on your company but for most companies investing in the latest platform is not useful. The danger of "missing the boat" is often less than chasing the latest tech while not providing customer value.

If you want to expand the company's tech portfolio you should look at where there is a gap right now. Provide examples how ML or whatever could provide more value to the customer than there is right now.
>In addition to being extremely contemporary, which contributes to not fitting into future trends

We hardly have any such trends anymore. It's the post-modern era, which unlike past design eras can potentially forever (since it's all about having immediate access to styles and information from every other era).

Most of what IKEA sells wouldn't look out of place in a 1930 modernist design shop for example, and still here it is 80+ years later.

Yes, I do need a license to operate a vehicle on the road. But, I actually don't need to buy my own insurance, because I live in New Zealand. Here, we have socialised insurance which covers accidents in general. Vehicle operating fees (handwave) do vary a bit, basically depending on the cost of that type of vehicle to society. We also have 6-monthly or annual safety checks on vehicles (depending on age of vehicle AFAIK; I still haven't owned one newer than mid-90s), if they are to be used on the road. And, we have a thriving car culture, despite my best efforts to get everyone moving on bus/foot/bike, but that's a distraction to the current discussion...

When you earn that license to operate your car, part of the deal is that you shouldn't operate your car if you think it might not be safe. That requirement does not go away depending on who fixed it last, or for that matter, the car's entire history.

I think there are some serious issues with regulating people's repairs (or just tinkering with) of their own stuff. For a start; I can't imagine a practical implementation of this "car repair license" which would solve any realistic problem, so to me it sounds like a proposal for mostly-useless bureaucracy.

Beyond that, I (and my employer) put a lot of value on the knowledge I've gained to be able to competently, to your example, fix my own brakes (two weekends ago, I replaced a wheel bearing - seems to be working fine). I think that adding barriers to technical work effectively dumbs down society in general. It also encourages waste - if the cost of a repair increases (as it probably would, if the licensing requirements increased), then the broken thing is more likely to be discarded wholesale, rather than repaired.

Maybe we should move on from this car discussion, and consider other regulated machines in common use. Radios, in particular, seem like an interesting parallel - they operate in a public space and carry safety risks. When radio regulation started, radios were similar complexity to concurrent cars, but now are largely software controlled. Do you think you should be legally prevented from changing the driver/firmware in your WiFi radio or cell phone?

It existed in a single edition of an orthography reference in Eastern Germany (and was removed in the next edition).

All other extant uses were designers and font makers writing blog,posts how much they want that character and discussing how it should look like.

Besides that it never existed. Unicode made a mistake. It was just that some people feel it should exist, in order to „complete“ the set of characters.
I can't run my service on a model, I have to run it on an implementation. When people try to abstract away the hard parts of the problems, it usually leads to bad results. For examples, SQL let's you express all sorts of interesting queries, very few of which are a wise idea to run thousands of time per second; ORMs make this even worse -- how data is stored and how data is queried really need to be determined in concert in order to make data storage and retrieval work, assuming you have sufficient data and query volumes to care -- if you've got only a few thousand pieces of data, it barely matters. That's not to say SQL isn't useful, or interesting, it's just not enough.

In this case, the mechanism seems too general -- if I want to read all the outstadning tuples with 2 as the second elememt, that's possible, but seems rather hard. If it's really about consuming tuples within a named channel, I want to know more about the expected or desired properties of distribution -- how is it determined which agent gets to consume a tuples when multiple request a matching tuple simultaneously, which tuple is consumed when many tuples exist that match. What guarantees are needed to ensure progress, what guarantees are hard to provide, what guarantees are useful, but not required etc. Is this the most basic abstraction for distribution, upon which other useful abstractions can be built -- or are there other underlying basic abstractions that are needed, are there useful abstractions which cannot be built upon this, etc.
In what way is that a problem, though, in the context of what I desribed?

React is certainly more elegant than Vue.

But for me, the key question is which allows me to build faster. Does elegance mean I will spend so much less time fixing bugs that this benefit outweighs the much smaller amount of boilerplate required to put an app together in Vue? I don't really think so, but I haven't come to a firm conclusion either way yet.
We actually thought about adding a similar function in the beginning, but discarded it later since we wanted to focus on the existing key problems, rather than adding productivity features for power users.

There is no argument from me that a + b is more readable than a.add(b). Java founding fathers (Gosling?) decided
against operator overloading sighting the mess it allowed to created in other languages. The mathematical notations
for spelling out polynomials has been optimized over some time - Java being a general purpose programming language
has other fish to fry.

There are languages that allow for a cleaner way to express mathematical statements, this is valid Julia:

julia> p(x) = (5x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x + 1)/(3x^2 - 7x)
p (generic function with 1 method)

julia> p(1 + 2im)
2.4 + 0.2im

I think there are many problems with this question:

- Building an application that features Augmented reality on React Native is possible. What prevents you from adding AR to react native application? Project requirements, not technology.

- Machine learning is subset of computer science. What exactly in React native prevents you from applying machine learning concepts? Project requirements, not technology.

- WebAssembly interoperates with JavaScript. I don't see the problem here.

Depends on what you call production-quality, but definitely possible.

Simplicity of having it all in 1 system is great, however the search quality itself is usually average and configurability is limited. A real search engine will give you much better relevance rankings, facets, fuzzy search, and other fancy things you can do with a general "similarity index" like recommendations.

IANAL. I am someone who has a history of being a stickler for asking permission first, rather than forgiveness later. There are some downsides to that. It can be stultifying and sometimes is overly cautious for purposes of getting things done.

So, some thoughts:

Big companies may view such things as free advertising. But I would guess whether they are okay with it or not would depend a lot on whether or not they like what you are doing, how careful you are to clearly signal that you are merely using their public API and otherwise have no relationship to them, etc. If you are trying to ride their coattails and imply that they endorse your work when they don't, that might not end well, especially if they don't like the kind of work you do.

Likability of your work can hinge in part on framing. For example, the same service might be framed as protecting the privacy of vulnerable people or it might be framed as enabling criminal activity in defiance of a government you don't like. So one thing you might want to do is think very carefully about how your own materials talk about your work and making sure to replace phrasing with unfortunate connotations with different words that lack the unfortunate connotations.

If the companies complain, you can promptly take it down. Assuming you haven't done anything nefarious, that should be sufficient.

It's not at all common. "The Pence rule" is noteworthy because it's so weird; it's reported as evidence of how out of the mainstream Pence is. If it was common, or becoming increasingly so, it would not be newsworthy when it's discovered that, for instance, he tried to organize an all-male jogging group "because he is married".

If the accusation you were at the other end of "wasn't sexual", I'm not sure what it has to do with this story, this thread, or with the gender of the accuser. I've been falsely accused of things at work by dudes, too. That is a thing that does happen.
Paradoxes arise due to our descriptions or understanding or theories we use to understand a phenomenon. If we keep this distinction betweeen a phenomenon and its description, paradoxes tell us that we don’t understand the phenomenon very well.

The other issue is the theory-laden ness of observations. Every observation is theory laden. Most of the time we don’t even perceive this theory-ladenness because we see them as some atomic facts.

The trick here is to describe the phenomenon at a lower level when paradoxes arise at higher level.

I remember researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle were showing results in 2011 on traits inherited epigenetically from their fathers in locations in the genome where histones were still present. (That is, not more tightly packaged by protamines, which discard a lot of epigenetic information.)

The point is that Lamarckian inheritance is stronger than we’ve imagined in our DNA-centric perspective. Of course, inheritance through small RNAs is new and exciting, but they aren’t the first mechanism for paternal inheritance outside of DNA sequence.

I’m glad the press is starting to hear, but this isn’t news to anyone in the field.
Yes, self-reported results will have biases. We might also note selection bias if all the surveys went to neighborhoods in the same city or even the same state, for example.

Americans have (or at least had) cultural mores against discussing the topics of personal finance, income, and net worth at all. Where would you suggest starting?

Statistics requires training and does have some intuitively nonobvious results, such as determining sample size[0]. If you prefer more interactive, Survey Monkey has a form[1] that lets you select population size, confidence, and margin of error. For the U.S. population of 325 million at 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error, the necessary sample size is 385 — not far from your figure Stanley’s.

The topic warrants future study, but Stanley’s book does destroy the notion that all millionaires are a bunch of Paris Hiltons and Thurston Howells — for those readers who are willing to challenge their own prejudices.
