Trump like the neocons is a reaction to a declining American world order. That being said he's doing things that will also like the neocons merely hasten this decline.

You can see this pattern in corporations all the time. Companies that start to lose market share will often actually lean into the strategies and decision patterns that are causing their collapse while simultaneously canceling innovative projects that might lead somewhere new. They also often get aggressive by doubling down on efforts to lock customers in and becoming litigious, further driving away new customers and leading those with an existing investment to start making plans to migrate.

Human beings react to scarcity by hunkering down, but hunkering down is almost always a losing strategy in the post-industrial age.

I expect China's hunkering down to harm it as well. I think it's too early to call China as the new world power.

Why didn't you push the data into a traditional data warehouse or sql database?
It doesn't matter who the permissions are for, the principle is the same.

_Should_ users perform a through investigation of every app they install, checking that it does exactly what they expect and no more? Perhaps; but that's not really practical.

The same applies for developers. Should these sites review the source code of every ad they embed in an iframe, whitelisting each ad individually? Maybe, but that's not going to happen. The other commenters are right, what you're suggesting is fantasy, not pragmatic reality.

Permissions systems are better, because they prevent misbehavior even when manual review fails.
There are a bunch of BI tools that can connect to Athena, we use Tableau to cut/slice the data and test out various hypothesis before building a real backend to utilize the data in new ways. I've found RedShift to be a bit expensive for such use cases as our Tableau users only query for a few hrs/day so keeping a RedShift cluster up and running is way overkill, Athena is a good stopgap.
We are no longer living in the days of EJB 2 and Websphere 6. Springboot allows you to get started quickly with out spending a week configuring your app server and Java beans.

Agreed, computers are generally way better than humans at catching many style issues. We utilize linters extensively, those enforce many of our style guide rules. However, there are some, such as the example pictured in the article, that aren’t always detectable with a linter. In these cases, we use the style guide as the source of truth to reduce the amount of personal preference that comes into code reviews.
Why?

I've always assumed the obsession with monospaced fonts in coding comes from terminals, which are monospaced for traditional reasons.

I code in non-monospsaced fonts sometimes. I enjoy it. There are (for me) basically no downsides except occasional other coders wanting things "lined up" vertically, which I don't care about but enforce using a code formatter.

I'm pretty sure gold was well known long before predicting the colors of as-yet-unobserved metals based on any kind of physics.

The website search seems to not be tokenized, it seems to use the entire word only... so if there's a slight difference it won't find anything.

The main thing I've noticed in Goodreads since they were bought is a strong focus on Kindle integration. The newer Kindles all have Goodreads integration, you can send notes etc. to the Goodreads profile, the site itself has changed very little

(although Goodreads changed a lot of rules around the ability to delete user reviews if they focus too much on author behaviour around the time the Amazon purchase went through https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2013/09/23/i... )
If they provide you PII that they have, that's just as bad since it could be someone else on the line.

To be perfectly clear and avoid the attempted reframing - he didn’t ‘refer to such slang’ at all. He used it directly, to convey the meaning it was created to convey. There was no sarcasm or levels of indirection. It was used exactly as its creators intended.
We think we see classical physics, but this micro/macro divide is not that clear-cut. It's more like a convenient textbook classification. For instance you can build a very macro magnet which is not classical physics at all, you can't explain ferromagnetism without QM. Why don't we fall through the floor? that's not classical. Chemistry makes no sense without QM either. A classical world, albeit nice and easy to mirror with mental images involving differential equations of continuous stuff would fall to pieces.

I like Bohm's book on Quantum Physics, but the pilot wave theory... well it doesn't explain anything new and the only problems it might solve are related to prejudices. Besides, the nature of that duplicity is never explained (and very ugly), so you're trading the ignorance you don't like for the one you like. In this kind of situations just go for the more simple and consistent theory as the only thing that matters is measurements.

(There's also the problem of getting to some form of QFT with it. Bell has written about this elsewhere, it's not pretty but I'm sure somebody has arrived to a working model by now.)

There's nothing wrong with this advice, but you could do everything on the checklist and still attract no users. However, I'd like to question the premise that that's a good way to measure the success of a project. Having written a very successful open-source library with one user (me), I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out. Some of my other stuff has more users, but I can't say I'm happier with it.

I'm trying to have an informal discussion about things that aren't established science. Linear logic is from 1989. How many people do you think are familiar with it?

HOTT states nothing about optimization. None of the foundations of mathematics really tackle optimization.

I have a claim that you may or may not accept.

There is such a thing as linear types (they are similar to Rust types). There's this language called ATS which is basically OCaml with C like performance. The performance gain is thanks to linear types, the compiler can statically reason about performance and statically optimize code. This isn't unrelated to mathematical optimization. Linear types let you to trully distinguish between values and references.

Your standard for proof is too high and there's only one particular type of proof that you accept unquestioningly. I'm still not convinced that you've looked into this for long enough to really see how they are related. Before we continue, tell me something about linear logic, or like how you understand it. Maybe helping you understand linear logic would be more productive than repeatedly invoking a couple of memes. It's quite naive that our current understanding of math is really "all there is".

> "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

I'm allowed to make whatever claims I want. You are allowed to disagree.
If someone is that much more experienced than you are, it can be hard for you to tell the difference between nitpicking and something that experience has taught them is more important than you realize. Even if it is just nitpicking, that still means your code has nits to pick.
>wonder if there's a way to package l-theanine and caffeine together into one supplement

It's called "tea".
This article mentions that previous studies found L-Theanine has stronger effect on anxious subjects. Perhaps caffeine provides that.
He was conceived on Krypton. He was born in Kansas when the Kents discovered the crashed ship containing him in his "birthing matrix" (Kryptonian artificial womb) and he emerged from it.

At least, that was official origin in the comics starting with John Byrne's The Man of Steel in 1986 and for several decades afterward.

That version of the story also explains why he looks enough like the Kents to pass for their biological son: the birthing matrix is designed to shape the child to look like whoever removes him from it because only his parents are supposed to do that.
Are internal Amazon projects cross charged for their AWS use? Or is it essentially free for internal use?
We have another GR team that does that and it works well. It’s complicated by the fact that at Amazon every team uses their own AWS account. Concretely, a service’s DynamoDB tables don’t exist in the same AWS account let alone the same VPC as the redshift cluster. Obviously, you can figure out the permissions, etc.

We’re trying to get to a place where we have the data in S3 for engineers to build products off of and for the oncalls to do sanity checks and the data in Redshift for our BI needs.
We're in a period where the public polity is pretty amenable to regulating industries. A lot of this is down to "I don't trust the fuckers" which is.. fair, I would say.

But..., I don't think people really understand what this means. One thing it means is larger corporations. The first thing that happens when a market regulates is usually "consolidation." Capital markets reward larger companies, when regulation starts. The larger, older companies tend to be preferred by regulators.

The large companies are then "safe" as the regulation slows disruptive forces.

A second thing that happens is bureaucracy. The bank replies to this guys with a generic "not our fault, regulators made us do it." This can be random, as "compliance" people gain power internally and start making decisions on a purely bureaucratic basis, without thinking about outcomes. Sometimes it's strategic. Smart lawyers interpret some parts in a dumb-literal way, because it allows them to do something they want to do while blaming the regulator. The same lawyers can creatively interpret some other clauses, allowing them to bypass/ignore some major part of the regulation, sometimes the whole point of the regulation. It's almost impossible to know which is happening.

David Graeber (provocateur and anarchist anthropologist) had a good bit on this. Basically the bank explains their own inexplicable bureaucracy by saying it's the regulator's bureaucracy, avoiding responsibility.

I'm not suggesting that banks should be a unregulated, just that quality matters. Quality is inadequate, currently. So much so that it's hard to predict what effects the introduction of a regulatory authority will have. Its a crapshoot.

And this reminds me of trying Zoloft and a couple of other things.

15 - 30 minutes into one starter dose, and I felt terribly worse.

No professional explanation. It was only years later, when I ran across reporting about serotonin poisoning, that I had a possible explanation. The symptoms certainly fit.

A friend has used Zoloft for years, to what she feels is positive effect. And in many ways, we are fairly similar -- certainly, our psychological profiles align substantially.

Nonetheless, what works for her, does not for me at all.
If you include other older men who she calls 'dad' but are not her biological father (ie her mother's current husband) or uncles the percentage jumps to over 50%.

My friend said the biggest red flag was when the father brings the pregnant girl to hospital, or even just to the obgyn, without her mother. Such situations are so unusual that they draw the attention of any cops that hear about it.
So in order to get to this level without taking supplements, it would be about 2.5 cups of tea? Or more? (Since they seemed to have added L-theanine to a cup of tea.)

There is some, to be honest. I am running at $0 profit (as per my report). I have got a nice discount for leads (I am categorized as a research project since I strip all the personal data). This gives me the ability to run this. There is some time required for each order and there will be no way this could be 100% hands-off project.

There is no low cost option like ours because of two reasons:

1) There is barely any competition, so companies just use that to hike up prices.

2) They provide the leads that answered the survey, so they cannot be categorized as a research project. This makes those leads cost 5-10 times what I pay.

People seldom look up the etymology of words, symbols, etc... instead they typically deduce meaning from either A) usage or B) fitting with domain knowledge.

For an example of A) most people think the word "perverse" means something like "sexually sick" i.e. they think a "perverse depiction" literally means a "sexually sick depiction". This is because we learn the word at a young age, and that is how most people use it, and we didn't bother to use dictionaries the first time you started using the word on the playground. In fact perverse comes from per- (away) and vertere (to turn), i.e. to turn away, or to turn a blind eye. For example a policeman approving of a crowd attacking a minority without intervening would be a true act of perversion as he "turns away" from the matter, similar with "perverse incentives" etc

This however is a clear example of B) in my view: notice how the tweet is NOT some triple parentheses, if you count carefully you will see 7 parentheses in total. The author of the tweet probably encountered the symbol before in the context of Judaism and thought through his prior domain knowledge that it signified a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menorah_(Temple) which is a Jewish candelabra holding 7 candles. So while the triple parenteses meme could perfectly have an alt-right origin, the author obviously associated no racist or discriminatory connotation (btw religion is not a race). IMHO he simply refers to some unspecified "jewish issue"
> Trump like the neocons is a reaction to a declining American world order.

Neoconservatism arose before the American world order was declining; they only became noteworthy after the end of the Cold War because that (and not any US decline, as such) created a gap between other prominent philosophies and and neoconservatives on substantive foreign policy, where previously there was more of a consensus on the outline of policy, though different philosophies supported the consensus policy.

> It doesn't matter who the permissions are for, the principle is the same.

It absolutely matters.

Users should have minimal responsibility while consuming content. Site owners should have major responsibility while providing content.

> Should these sites review the source code of every ad they embed in an iframe, whitelisting each ad individually?

They absolutely should know who their ad platform is, what their policies are, and what is/isn't acceptable for an ad hosted by that platform. If their ad platform falls short, they should shop around for a better alternative.
I do like Clojure for some of its opinions (immutable by default, strong encouragement of functional programming, convenient abstractions for collections, tasteful syntactic sugar).

But, I too am not necessarily a huge fan of the ecosystems that Clojure is presently tied to. I'd love to see an SBCL implementation of Clojure or (especially) an LLVM based Clojure. I'm grateful when Clojure offers me an out from writing Java, but I also feel like I need to understand both the Java and the Clojure.

The Rackjure dialect of Racket is pretty nice by my estimation (adds some of the conveniences of Clojure, isn't tied to / the beneficiary of an ecosystem like the JVM or Javascript). But I suspect it would frustrate people who like aspects of the CL ecosystem like long-lived system images, and a very neutral disposition toward immutability and functional programming.

Sure - but that's irrelevant to my point, which is that anyone who enters into a contract and stops using their old phone, or gives it away, sells it, throws it away broken or obsolete, trades it in, or accepts an 'upgrade' from their network that extends their contract, gets an upgraded phone by paying for it monthly.
It turns out that there are strong beliefs around a quasi-religious-legal institution with millennia of history.

Beliefs about homosexual marriage, adoption, marriage of minors, shared property, divorces/annulments, parental rights, polygamist marriage, etc.
How can you be free if you are under continual surveillance your ever action judged in real time on mass, your ever past action judged based on the current feelings of the day, your every comment, word spoken, person you interacted with, etc judged and recriminated on a on going basis.

I'm not really surprised. Goodreads doesn't have nearly the same level of "real-time" interaction that other social networks do. People can only read (and therefore review) so many books, so it's not like there are millions of users constantly posting new content/comments/etc.

>Sure, some of these tomes may have been recoverable, but if they aren't historically valuable for some reason, why save it?

Future historical value is hard to predict.

Good example:

>Worse is the implication is that if something is not "sufficiently interesting", if it's not part of the story a society wants to tell about itself, it's worthless. The future disagrees about what is and is not important, and why. That's the defining characteristic of the future. No one today cares what the Rosetta Stone actually says [4], yet it is more important to us (as the key to hieroglyphics) than it was to the society that made it.

Birth right citizenship was invented by the White American colonists who decided that fuck the cost of setting up the colonies, they were going to be "free" now and do whatever they wanted. If you arrive somewhere and decide that the new rules say you were always in charge and you get to choose all the rules, don't for a moment think those rules are any more legitimate just because you say so.

Nobody asked America's existing inhabitants whether they wanted European colonies. The Europeans took whatever they pleased. Nobody asked them for permission to form the United States of America either.

And that birthright citizenship of course didn't apply to those native inhabitants except - after the old white men running things started to very slowly become aware of how amazingly racist they were - retrospectively. It also didn't apply to all the black slaves they'd imported, or the cheap Chinese labour they imported for decades. Those weren't white people, and so, thanks to racism, they weren't counted as "people" at all and weren't entitled to your imagined birthright citizenship.
