> Don't you need a master's degree to be eligible for a doctorate program?

Can't speak for all schools, but NC State accepts bachelors into their Masters and PhD program. While getting your PhD, you have the option to earn an MS "en route".

> How does undergraduates find a research groups to join?

For larger, research-oriented schools, this is as easy as visiting each professor's website. Most will have a link to their current or archived projects and their recent publications. Similar to the joke that you can get any academic paper for free by emailing the professor, the same can happen with research. Ask them about it and if you can join in on any of the on-going projects.

For teaching-oriented schools, this can be a little more difficult. My bachelors program only had 1 (maybe 2) labs, so if that wasn't your interest good luck. You can still do the same process, find a professor in a research area you're interested in and speak to them. There may not be funding, but you could be the spark under that prof's butt to start applying for some grants.
It's a simple and gentle introduction, but surprisingly effective at slowly immersing you into the language to the point that you feel comfortable exploring on your own.

Of course. It's called the Great Despicable Prohibition of Rendering for a reason. It also applies to absolutely everyone, especially local Baltimore newspapers. The EU cares about local newspapers of foreign cities. It hates them.

If you don't obey, the penalties start at 20 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 €, 400% of your income and your firstborn. They will be evil, disproportionate and diabolical. The supervisory authority will not take into account silly things like "the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement" or "the intentional or negligent character of the infringement". That wouldn't be fun. In particular, there is no chance that you will be issued a reprimand instead of a fine. The authority would do that if its mission were to protect citizens' privacy instead of destroying your business and helping big friendly companies like Facebook and Google, which the EU is well-known to love.

Do not leave your house before you have read every single EU law. If you don't the EU will find a reason to destroy your life. Especially if you live in a weak and unimportant country that is easy to bully around like the United States of America.
Super impressive. This is like the perfect evolution of what Blockspring should've been!

I've been a flux user for years, but sadly I had to switch to the Windows 10's version. Flux causes a 1 frame lag every 60 frames which was driving me crazy. Only fix was to put it into Safe Mode, but Flux is really janky in that mode; especially when alt tabbing. The Windows 10 version also has no lag while shift colors. It's a shame. I'd love to have kept supporting flux.
You are hereby allowed to buy whatever car you'd like to! What that suggests (and what Forbes doesn't quite seem to be getting at) is that more people are buying EVs in general - they make a lot of sense for in-town / commuting use.
Interesting. What do you think its position in "the hype cycle" currently is? No longer cutting-edge and therefor a little "boring"?

I also think I saw that it ranked pretty low on various "popular languages" studies. I would be very happy to find out that I am mistaken TBH.
Reading this article is honestly a bit of a domestic culture shock for me, where does this guy live in The Netherlands?

Here in downtown Amsterdam we called the police because the rear window of someone's car had just been smashed outside our office, and the police's response was "Has anyone been hurt? Nope? Then we're not coming".

Meanwhile, wherever this guy lives they're sending officers because some BMW call center calls the police in the middle of the night telling them that some car reported unspecified distress within some radius, and they sent officers to search the whole neighborhood for the car and locate the owner.

I guess the next time I need police help I'll use a burner phone and tell them a BMW is in distress.
This strategy replaces heartbreak with bitterness. Not such a great deal.
> What happens for that scientist when they have to dive into Julia’a stack to debug something weird?

The same things that happened when we had this conversation about what happens to the Fortran writing scientist when Python and Numpy came along, even at that time it wasnt the first time. I am sure it would not have been a whole lot different when a COBOL alternative had come along.

Anecdotal, but: my hometown of Orinda is a good bellweather; when the Prius first came out, the small downtown area felt like 1/3rd of the cars were Prii. In the past couple years, every time I visit I see many, many Teslas. It's an affluent but liberal town in the Bay Area, a lot of people who buy in to green-but-luxury brands.
1. See, but there is money to be made, just not by the folks you are referring to. Monopoly or not. If anything, saving money in the healthcare system is in the government's interest. Taxes and things as well. And "easy" is ... kinda. Depends on what sorts of things you need it for.

2. Of course not. But that takes away from the ease of above: The person in question gets some irritant effects from the smoke, but also tends to get allergic reactions from random stuff... like corn pollen. The same person will try about anything legal.

3. I'm not argueing that at all. I'm actually very pro-legalisation, both for recreational use and for pharma use (not only with pot, but including drugs I wouldn't personally ingest). I generally push there to be separate categories for the uses, in part so we can specialize (I think this will happen). But I also try to push back at cure-all sorts of language, and this was more to demonstrate that even with it legal, migraines are still horrible and it doesn't prevent them. In a best-case scenario with this new medicine, a person would have the prevention available plus a variety of treatments to treat the ones they still get, including cannibus if it happens to be right for them.

I'm a doctor of four years now and I completely empathise with you. The one thing I have learnt doing the job is not to fully trust anything but to check it yourself. That's how you get outstanding results.

It's unfortunate that it seems to take a toll on your private life. This past year I have developed a habit of double checking the front door even though I remember bolting it.

It's an interesting thing to ponder whether some mental disorders are extreme versions of adaptive behaviours that we all do from time to time.

That’s true. The further out you choose servers for the speed tests, the worse the results. If I choose the server that is closest I get above 900. If I choose a server across the country, it’s about 150.
Wall Street owns the company, and can set its direction. Apple isn't some hobby business, under the control of a principled founder. Particular people in the organization will push back against such measures, but whether or not they will win is crapshoot.

Building weapons wasn't in Google's DNA either, yet Maven happened. It was only shut down because the pushback succeeded. Its success was not a sure thing.

Corporations aren't people - the only principles or ethical compasses they follow are those of their employees. Employees come and go, and, in the case of leadership, can be fired by the owners.

There's a long history of tech companies that have done a 180, in terms of their DNA. Microsoft, SUN (Having been bought by Oracle), Google, are some of the more prominent ones.
Lifestyle change as precision medicine
Inflation is only one symptom. The bigger problem is that the providers (health or restaurants) start catering to what the PAYERS -- insurance, or the company handing out restaurant tickets -- want, not what's good or helpful for the customers.

The entire thing becomes a giant game of "what you can bill", which pretty much sums up healthcare today. There is no emphasis on outcome, quality, or cost, just whether something is "reimburseable". Will it be covered by the ticket?

After thinking more on this I think that something is missing, the article suggest to make a list with bad things about your partner but this will not help if you are analyzing yourself, trying to find your own mistakes and improving yourself. Putting all the blame on the other may not be the correct thing in some cases.
> But once it came out, once he was actually caught feeding semen to students

He wasn't actually caught (or even formally accused of by the district in its dismissal charges) doing that. Everything that came out and was cited as the basis for his dismissal was the result of a photo lab reporting pictures, and in the charges for dismissal what is identified as being on the cookies is “an unidentified milky-white substance”. Notably, none of the reports of sexual abuse that students identified were made around the same time to school officials, or even the reported sexual context of the events in the photographs used as the basis for dismissal charges, were even referenced in those (exceedingly nonspecific) charges.

The management failures continued into the suspension and firing process.
I am still surprised Amazon didn't buy Discord, and my internal canon suggests they must not have liked they price. Between Lumberyard, buying Twitch and Curse and merging them, Discord is a sure thing fit for their gaming arm. Twitch in particular is a great/widespread streaming platform with utterly terrible chat, bringing Discord into that would patch up a big weakness there.

Microsoft has often been suggested as a suitor, but between having Skype and Teams and the Windows/Xbox Store already, I just don't see Discord meshing well with what they already have.
A tool for collaboratively organizing notes
I 100% agree that everyday interactions with Mormons suggests they are becoming more tolerant, and most of them struggle with the policies that are set by the church.

The issue is that the uppermost echelon of church leadership is a lifetime calling, they aren't replaced until one of them dies. This leads to the prophets and apostles all being the _oldest_ members of the church, and usually the most regressive. Combine that with the fact that obedience to leadership is tantamount to even personal revelation, and you get lots of hate speech over the pulpit even while the members in the pews are actually rather tolerant.

Let me run the numbers here though - if we have 100,000 youth then in 2015 there were 11 (0.011%) that committed suicide. If 4% of them are gay, that is 4,000 gay youth, and if their suicide rate is 3x the average then we'd expect 0.033% or 1-2 LGBT youth suicides.

If that were the end of it, I'd agree with you that it can't explain the near doubling. But would we expect LGBT youth to commit suicide more often, less often, or the same in a community with the above "November policy" kind of standards? I'd wager that LGBT youth suicides in Utah account for closer to 30% of all youth suicides.

I agree it doesn't completely explain the rise, but it seems a significant enough factor to be including in discussion.
Because the police arrived 5 minutes after they disabled the SOS button.

The next night, there would be no SOS notification when they broke the window again. Or maybe they'd only have to tear away a plastic bag, if the owner hadn't gotten the window replaced.

Or maybe they were hoping to find a valet key in the car, making their job even easier, either that night, or the next night.
To be fair, I am not against open banking - it’s definitely a step in the right direction. But I just want people to know that it’s not a silver bullet and it’s got many shortcomings. It’s definitely not the solution to the lack of bank’s APIs, and more needs to be done.
The last time Forbes was a credible news source was when the Prius was just coming out.

+1 I agree wholeheartedly wiht the concerns and complaints in this post. Even if you were to have the most trustworthy person leading a system like this, who is to say that this person's mind won't change. Or worse, a different successor could redefine the goals - this is created under a company after all. What's the solution? Trust in design.
Is this anything new???
The point is that the space between two objects is expanding. The expansion causes the distance to grow, and comes in addition to any relative motion between any pair of objects. So through local space each object moves slower than the speed of light, but the rate of change of the distance between them can be greater than c.

"It's not that I can't, it's that I wont."
You are getting downvoted because you are assuming everyone has similar living conditions and environments as yourself.

Many have children to take care of. Many have other family members (disabled relative, elderly parent, younger sibling, etc.) to take care of.

Many work multiple part time jobs because they can't find 9-5 work that pays well enough.

Many, especially amongst the poorer segments of the population, have significant travel time because it is very hard to find work (a notorious problem in the bay area [0]).

Many, for the reasons listed above, have weird schedules that do not lend themselves well to the sustained intellectual effort required to pursue passion projects even if in theory they have "10 hours of free time a week".

And so on.

Steve Jobs' remark presupposes that one has the privilege to pursue what they're passionate about. Many in society do not have that privilege.

> a non-zero amount

An irrelevant non-zero. Over the last 5 years Uber added vastly more miles driven in congested areas which is the only important measurement in terms of increasing congestion. NYC traffic's average MPH is down and it's ride sharing's fault.

Lack of new Taxi medallions means it's not Taxi's fault. Their has been no increase in street level parking it can't make things worse. Uber on the other hand adds cars to the road above and beyond the limits of street level parking or even any parking which limits normal drivers.

PS: As you have not countered my argument I can only assume you countered the point that Uber is making congestion worse.

> The oldest baby boomers were still fairly early in their working life when the gains from the economy stopped broadly reaching the working class.

They were just the right age for reaping all the benefits from rising land and real estate prices, despite the real wage flat-lining at the end of 1970s

Not to mention that advancement and career progression were far more expedient in their day, allowing them to reap benefits earlier in their life than millenials today, who might still be working entry level jobs by their 30s.

> The generation who benefitted the most from the long post-WWII economic boom with wide distribution of gains were the Boomers’ parents.

And guess who inherited that wealth, since that generation is mostly dead now?
As someone who should be in the target audience for Julia, I am sad to see that they have not switched to 0-based arrays before launching version 1.0. I consider this is an indication of a broken design process and thus a reason to stay away from the language. (The fact that ranges include both endpoints - rather than being half-open as in Python - is another such indication.)
It'd probably be a lot easier to debug something somewhere in the Julia stack, than in the C/C++/Fortran code that many R libraries run through.

My point with the rewrite was not garbage in, garbage out. It was that even though the original R code was using a library written in C, that library had to call a function he wrote in R millions of times. That R function being inherently slow is part of the problem.
(The easiest fix for that is just writing the function you pass to that library in RCpp, but the overhead on that is still close to a microsecond -- not sure how it is in R. Numba is probably easier.)
It is nicer to not have to worry about that.

An alternative approach some libraries provide, like my Stan example in RStan or PyStan, is the DSL they implement to make it easier for end users in R or Python to write fast C++ code.

But, now lets say you're working on an optimization problem. You want to use a gradient-based optimization method, while your code is heavily dependent on the FooBars and Widgets libraries.
If these libraries are written in Julia, you can write code in Julia using these libraries, and automatic differentiation will just work as you pass it to Optim.jl.

If FooBars and Widgets were Cython libraries, optionally wrapping C/C++ code, would this work? Could you write functions making use of these libraries, and get efficient gradients for optimization for use with an optimization library and have everything be fast?

'Stan is an example where the modeling is “just” a DSL implemented as C++ templates. Does that make that a good choice?'

I gave Stan as an example of a less than ideal situation, because people normally use Stan from R or Python, not from within C++. Therefore there R and Python don't integrate well.
If you're already working in C++, Stan seems ideal. You can use arbitrary templated C++ code with Stan, include external libraries, etc. It needs to be C++ because of their autodiff.
That is a major accusation, can you provide source(s) to read more about this claim?

It is at odds with known cases, such as the fight with Apple over iPhone encryption.
We're talking about escapism here; the case discussed in the opener was of a woman whose grieving period lasted for half as long as the actual relationship.

The shortcut issue is directly addressed. negative reappraisals are used to balance out the unrealistic filter on the relationship that is causing the unusually long grieving period; not to convince yourself that the relationship was bad, but to make you realize it wasn't all chocolates and roses.
