In my experience it is true; of course some areas may require more detail and attention and tweaking and summoning the Evil Red Text in LyX.

In your case, it seems you are not really writing the text... You are making cosmetic adjustments. And it is fine but it should not be done up front, IMO. As for ligatures, TeX should handle ligatures automagically, but I took that as a general point and yeah, I agree -- one can always find things to tweak.

Process-wise, it is better to "just write". Most of the cosmetics is taken care of by LyX with minimal effort. Add a comment for something to check later. Make the process iterative, if you try to write each line as production quality from scratch, I doubt you will ever finish.

Facebook allows you to exclude housing ads from being shown to protected classes of people. Facebook effectively says "Do you want to hide this ad from disabled people?" All they have to do to comply with anti-discrimination laws is to not offer this kind of exclusion.
>> ten percent of Americans to be crane maintenance workers

> If anything, that's a plus.

The article makes the money sound evil, but I'm just not seeing the evil here. $1000/mo to a doctor? So what?

The treatment is probably a little ahead of the science, but the answer to that is better science.

It makes sense to me that people get less sun than before, and therefore have lower and less consistent vitamin D levels. It doesn't feel unnatural to me... I think of it more like a replacement of what we lose by staying indoors more.
Sounds good except what do you do about biology that decides to take up residence in the holes?
Living in the Pacific Northwest, working an office job, it is quite possible to go 6 or 7 months and not have the sun touch your skin.

Taking a mid-winter break to someplace sunny gives a distinct feeling if physical wellness and energy.

Denying that vitamin D is important seems silly when people who are indoors so often feel remarkably better after spending even just a few hours outside in the sun.
Why does it always have to be either-or. Can't we all agree that Facebook also has some responsibility to prevent abuse? I'm not saying they have to make sure no one can ever break a law using their platform. But once they become aware people are abusing it to do so, how can you say it's fine for them to ignore it. This seems to be the case, as far as i understand that filing. That's how you end with government having to impose regulation. I'd prefer Facebook willingly work with law enforcement or/and their clients to make sure forced intervention won't be necessary.
yeah but what if some user names are known to have a weak secret?

Between 2000-2004: GFS, GroupVarInts, Snappy, Protocol Buffers, Google's cluster-management system, MapReduce, AdSense, BigTable, & a critical part of the Search serving stack that doesn't appear to be public.

I think some of us just can’t help counting stairs, perhaps? There are two staircases in my house. 18 steps from the main floor to upstairs. 19 steps from the main floor to downstairs. It kind of bothers me they’re not equal. When I get to my office, there are 23 stairs to the second floor, then 13 stairs, a landing and another 12 steps to the 3rd floor to get to my office. My previous house was an old craftsman & Victorian type mix of weirdness with a staircase that was 6 steps, a landing, 9 steps, another landing, and a final 5 steps to the 2nd floor. I’m always counting stairs.
I'm not convinced. Living in an oppressively sunny place, you'll notice the same salutary effect of a run of overcast weather.
This is a very under-appreciated article.

The more I look around the more I feel every one has at least the following phases in their career- Fall, Struggle, Rise, Plateau. The thing is the order is not guaranteed. But the phases come in parcels of decades.

The best is the order I mentioned. Sometimes the order is brutal. You go like Rise, Plateau, Struggle, Fall. The best years happen in early life- Like 20's. You go through it assuming this is how its going to be all life, don't invest or save up. And then reach 40's and realize you have another 40 to go and regardless of how hard you work, You have to suffer through the remainder.

In some people's case the big success comes in the last decade of their working career.

Either way the most important to note is, that luck goes around. No one remains lucky forever. One must be worried if start tossing a coin, and head comes up straight 100 times.

There was a HN thread (probably several) not too long ago about someone who did a better analysis of the Drake equation with probability distributions rather than point estimates and found that given that improved methodology, it isn't odd that we see nobody - as it is quite likely we are either the first civilization in the universe or the only one within a galaxy or more. No new facts were used, only a sensible synthesis of the known information.
I am almost the exact opposite to you - so my question is how much time do you spend keeping in touch with people you used to work with or met - either in deliberate "networking" or simply because you are a sociable person who you know, has friends :-)

2) Wistron is a spinoff of Acer. Specifically the Manufacturing/R&D wing of Acer. However, that spinoff happened in 2000, so there really isn't a connection between Acer and Wistron anymore:

Makes sense in the Instagram-optimized commerce world we live in now. People will pay a premium if something makes a good Instagram post (I would put a chocolate dick in this category).

Walking around NYC (maybe less so SF for now) I saw many restaurants repaint exterior walls with angel wings, quotes, neon lights, etc. that were all meant to entice people to take pictures and tag the location on Instagram as a marketing tool. Maybe semi-depressingly so if you're going into e-commerce or otherwise selling some physical good your first marketing question should be "will this look good on Instagram?"

I think at least the housing policy is an egregious failure (if a metric is that locals should be able to afford it), although other cities around the bay area should also get some credit. Even if you take being anti-development as reasonable, creating office space (jobs) without proportionate housing just seems like an inevitable disaster (unless you sell your property and/or are a landlord).

At least the democrats here aren't monolithic, there are frequent initiatives at the local or state level to increase the supply but they've (sometimes narrowly) lost.

Also some of California's unusual policies (like the special property tax system and very high income tax) are actually due to a political system where ballot initiatives have more influence and weren't top-down planned by the legislature to begin with.

Anyway, yeah it does seem self evident. I think San Francisco is somewhat extreme relative to the national level though.

> 2Gt of water was mixed into the concrete, but when you're calculating water footprint you need to look at how much water went into creating all of the ingredients.

True, though the paper makes a point, early on, that much of it is used in producing the aggregate, and the article makes a point of (potentially) using recycled/discarded aggregate, which would incur no additional water consumption.

> report it as 16.6km^3 of water. Which seems like they're trying to obfuscate the results

That's a remarkably harsh characterization, especially since that was parenthetical. The main reported amount was 16.6 × 10^9 m^3.

With water having the convenient density of 1000kg/m^3 (1 ton/m^3) and 10^9 being equivalent to the SI G prefix (both facts which one reasonably expect a reader of a physical sciences journal to know casually), it seems hardly obfuscatory. I'd attribute, instead, a change of units to a desire to compare it to household use, later in that paragraph, which is more typically measured by volume.

Although for commercial concrete block of 2130kg, that would, indeed, change the amount of water to be 1660kg from my original 200kg. However, I'm fairly confident that the ability to use 1/6th the cement combined with not needing any particular aggregate (even recycled) will bring the number for the article's application much closer to the smaller one than the larger one.
Facebook is actively publishing these advertisements. They are breaking the law - that they do it on the behalf of someone else is no excuse.
I think it's reasonable to expect that if a small reduction is bad, a big reduction is worse. The opposite is not impossible, but it would be surprising.

"we can't believe we are the first, nor that we are unique. It would be (statistically) extremely odd if we were"

Someone did a Bayesian analysis using probability distributions and found that, given what we observe (no aliens), there is a substantial probability we are the first civilization in the universe, or else the only one within galactic distances. They also inferred that whatever makes spacefaring life unlikely is probably in the past, not the future, which seems optimistic if you're worried about AGW or nuclear war.

"The Fermi question is not a paradox: it just looks like
one if one is overconfident in how well we know the
Drake equation parameters."

"The Fermi observation makes the most uncertain
priors move strongly, reinforcing the rare life guess
and an early great filter."

They end up with a 40% chance we are alone in the universe and about a 55% chance we are alone in our galaxy.

It just doesn’t really matter what Wikileaks say on their Twitter account, the important thing is the documents they host on their site. They’re not a newspaper. They only ask that people examine the documents they publish. Their own impartiality and credibility is simply not an important issue. Maybe if there were known cases of Wikileaks intentionally taking parts of documents out of context to make things look damning, that would be a concern, but i’m not aware of anything like that. They are a conduit for whistle-blowing - if they are holding back documents that don’t suit an agenda then presumably the whistleblower would leak to some other outlet, so I don’t see a big concern there either.
It would be interesting to know how these "hot streaks" coincide with personal events occurring in people's lives.
Yeah, it is always disappointing that there aren't more startups around doing hardware. I think a large portion of that is that hardware is quite expensive to develop and requires a lot of space. From the YC perspective it doesn't really work with the 3 month rapid iteration schedule, that is barely enough time to get tooled prototypes.
I've heard that in recent years there's an increasing understanding that while achieving lucid dreams is very doable, full dream control is rare even with years of practice. (I'm pretty sure there's at least one journal article on this, but I can't find it now.)

I reject the notion that this problem is even remotely unsolvable. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm not saying it'd be profitable, but it's not that hard.

The reason it feels hard is that it gets politicized and PC'd super fast, which quickly penalizes any form of brainstorming.

Here's some off-the-top-of-my-head brainstorming, that promises nothing, but is infinitely closer to fixing the problem than all the other comments I've heard on this topic in my life put together:

1. Move homeless shelters out of the city proper. This will improve the disease/sanitation problem of homeless living in the subway, for example.

2. Collect accurate data. Do this by finger-printing at food banks and other measures. Accurate data on the role of drugs+schizophrenia is important.

3. Solicit experimental ideas. Could these homeless people be farm hands? Would they want to? Could you create a digital trash-can that pays rewards to homeless who actively clean?
Have to pile on here.

I have a 2017 and use it mostly with an eternal keyboard and monitors but I am shocked when I use the built in keyboard. It is really bad to type on -- all for what? A few fractions of an inch in thickness?

I had a first gen MacBook 12 and was ok with the horrible keyboard given its purpose of maximum portability. But on a desktop replacement / primary machine? What the hell were they thinking?

On this keyboard, 50% of the time when I type a single quote I hit the return key. Makes programming comically bad. It's just a couple of steps off typing on a touch screen at this point. (Which, I fear, is their endgame.)

Other joys of my 2017 (15, maxed out except for the absurdly expensive second TB of SSD):

1. (Un)plugging external monitors will crash the window server

2. Kernel panics -- usually related to IB in Xcode.

3. Unresponsive power key

4. Fingerprint reader that fails without any feedback

5. Serious hacking required to run external monitors in HiDPI mode

6. No more touch typing for the media keys, escape key
