Ender is a survivalist. It's a character trait some people have. He never starts fights, but he finishes them. It is prudent defensive strategy in conflict to neutralize the source in some permanent fashion, just to ensure that this source will never threaten you again. Stilson and Bonzo could have stopped the fight at any time by conceding, giving up, walking away, showing remorse. They don't. They fight till the end. In both cases, Ender finishes the fight, but doesn't know how his opponent fared. It's third-party accounts and glimpses of evidence that hint at the truth, and Card makes more hints available to the reader (through third-party conversations) than what Ender is exposed to.

Regarding surprise: Remember that Ender is not just chosen for his intelligence, but also his temperament. Peter and Valentine are just as smart, Peter probably the smartest out of the three. Graff and the others are banking on Ender's survivalist trait to do the hard things when necessary, make the decisions that no one else had the courage to make.

In the final battle, Ender's rationale was this: The yield of the MD device was too low to take the bugger fleet down by itself. The hive knew about the MD device and was countering his actions by constant movements to minimize local clustering. The only option was to target the planet to yield a large enough cascade. Even then, he didn't know if it would be large enough to take out the entire enemy fleet. In the end, it was large enough to destroy half the human fleet as well. He was taking a calculated risk. It was cold, ruthless and utterly unexpected. Even the Hive Queen, who was in touch with his thoughts on and off, didn't think he would do it. When she realizes his true intentions, she tries her best to block his path, throwing ships directly in the line of fire. It was a very high-risk strategy. He could have run out of ships before he got close enough for instance.

The real question is: Would he do it again if placed in the exact same situation with the exact same facts and resources at his disposal? Ender spends the rest of the series struggling with that very question. Ultimately, he comes to realize that, yes, he would do it all over again if he had to.

Thank you for the recommendation on "Cold Equations". Haven't read it, will happily take a look. Hopefully my local library has a copy.

Not to be cliche, but you need to check your privilege here. Firstly, "these folks" would clearly have a better job if they could get one. You assume they're not trying ... or you assume it's as simple to find a job as it is for someone in our industry.
Distantly related but when I was in Europe decades ago I was at a train station where they had a massive split-flap display ( I want to say at a couple places ). I loved watching it update.

Aesthetically it was so much better than big super bright screens.
I knew a lot of people that were addicted to weed because they were bored without it and because their social lives are completely dependant on smoking weed -- without weed they would just sit awkwardly. Some of them went more than a decade like this and didn't develop many important areas of their mind because of it.
Quitting weed isn't tough, just like quitting video games isn't tough. Life is just better with it. It's not like you have to smoke every day. I usually don't smoke through the week, but on the weekends sometimes I like to just take a puff and chill out. There's a ton of negativity towards marijuana in this thread and on the internet. Mostly because the conservatives prefer the alcohol industry.
There's a slight inaccuracy in that diagram. While NJT does (via a short stint on I-295) intersect I-95 in Delaware on the southern end, the northern end has a rather more roundabout connection. I-95 continues up as a beltway around Trenton. But the beltway continues as I-295, which turns south and parallels the NJ Turnpike. If you're trying to go north on I-95, you end up heading south instead for ~7mi and then needing a ~7mi stint on I-195 to continue north.
If you or anyone can suggest a better title—i.e. one which is accurate, neutral, and uses representative language from the article—we'll happily change it again.
Indeed. How embarrassing!
In theory. But from my experience, it's the opposite, and you can tell by the comments. I made a lot of money betting on Trump to win PA, FL, and POTUS on predictit. The only one I was unsure of was POTUS, but it was good odds so I took a gamble. The fact that FL, and to a lesser extent PA, had underdog odds meant people weren't betting logically. And the comments were akin to youtube comments.
You should blame the exploiter, not the person being exploited. Quit shilling for a company that treats most of their workforce like garbage.

Ironically, considering all the anti socialist rants in the discussion so far, Norway's oil industry is state owned and the government has taken the profits and invested in creating one of the largest sovereign wealth funds and in a lot of national infrastructure.

You are struggling with your own personal moral beliefs.

You even stated they are "completely functional" yet you're significantly troubled by marijuana use while you have no issues with excessive use of caffeine and nicotine.
For a[i] to be valid, i has to be < a.length. This invariant is never invalidated during the loop body itself.
> It isn't arbitrary, but the definition is so broad that it is almost meaningless.

You are absolutely right, "arbitrary" wasn't really what I meant.

> It isn't even a category of disorders that are grouped by symptoms, they are grouped by how those symptoms manifest themselves when trying to read. Basically you have dyslexia if you have trouble reading or learning to read... Therefore the only real way to be misdiagnosed with it is if there is some other more specific undiagnosed disability that impacts intelligence...

I've always been deeply suspicious of broad labelling through analysis of fairly non-specific cognitive symptoms. Even with the consideration you mention: excluding other physiological and neurological factors.

Reading the various definitions of different forms of dyslexia now which suggest certain causes - I don't feel like any of them applied to me. I think the failure in these attempts of classifying neuro-type or whatever is the expectation for little variation, and I don't mean in terms of a so-called "spectrum" I mean because the brain is incomprehensibly complex to us, is a composite of all kinds of "skills" that are subtly different in each individual, this is what I mean't by a multidimensional spectrum. It seems to me that even while trying to identify very specific manifestations of a symptom it's going to be easy to mix up completely separate underlying causes.
Ideally they should use a formal RDBMS, but that cranks up the cost of the study. A data QA team also helps. The question is whether these measures are "worth it". Are the Excel errors significant enough? Are 10 studies with a conclusion flaw rate of 30% better or worse than 5 studies for the same cost with say a 10% conclusion flaw rate? A cost/benefit analysis on this can get tricky.

In almost any endeavor there is a quantity-versus-quality trade-off per given unit of resources. In the IT field, we often say: A: cost, B: speed of delivery, C: quality. You can only pick 2 of the 3, which are they? It's kind of the same principle, but with delivery time more explicit.
> Why would we pursue or focus on the orgs doing the least amount of damage first?

That isn't the point though. Like Facebook and privacy issues, the ultimate outcome of this will either be (a) nothing, or (b) government singles out Amazon alone for scrutiny, which does nothing to stop the same systemic problem that happens at many other employers also but goes unreported because the company in question isn't tech-sexy (Wal-Mart, Ford, etc).

The fix needs to be applied universally, without considering how much damage individual orgs are doing.
Can confirm, suffered from RSI as well. I think most doctors are unaware of the benefits. If they were, they wouldn’t prescribe the bullshit they’re currently prescribing. I’m not saying this will help everybody, but it’s 100% worth a try before trying anything more “medical”.

That's not completely true. Debian does allow what they call "non-free" software, with limitations (see [1]). In particular, searching for Debian packages with "firmware" in the name[2] will show alot of non-free. This does cause consternation in at least some free-software groups[3].

Huh?

Roofing pays a premium because it is a crap entry level job that is hard to staff with reliable workers. The labor force is generally limited to younger able bodied men with transportation who are willing to do seasonal work.

Amazon can recruit almost anyone to do picking and can get value even from the people whom they purge.
I mean most hard labor and construction type jobs, while they are doing manual labor, they are making way more than you so the trade-off is most definitely worth it.
Roofing is incredibly brutal job on your body. Many people that work in amazon warehouses simply wouldn't be able to take it. Plus it often requires driving to job sites, so you aren't guaranteed regular hours like you would at amazon.

People will struggle with addiction for literally anything you can be addicted to, substances or not. Can be generally positive things like exercise, more neutral things, or negative things like very-damaging drugs (alcohol is here certainly).

Where does weed fall on that line? I don't really know. But saying we should ban something because it's possible to be addicted to it is fairly silly.

> There have always been and probably always will be unpleasant jobs.

That "probably" is doing a lot of work there. I'd wager a bunch of us are on this website because we want to make changes in the world. We're not excited about computers because they pay well, we're excited about computers because they let us do cool things. We're not interested in disrupting entrenched industries because we are bored and want to amuse ourselves, we're interested in disrupting entrenched industries because we think we can do better. And when we say better that implies that we have a sense of good and bad and how to incrementally get closer to good.

So what is the world we want to build? We, humanity collectively, control whether there will be unpleasant jobs. No god told us, "Thou shalt build roofs in 100-degree weather or pay the consequences." We control what jobs exist. There are people working on robotics, right? I can imagine a world where nobody works 8 hours in 100-degree weather on an asphalt roof any more. And whether I call that job "exploitative" is pretty irrelevant to whether we're getting closer to that world.

There have always been unpleasant jobs, yes. Whether there will be is up to us.
But are they worse off for "losing" those teams?
Benchmark is a software just as other software. Does it mean that I cannot run software and measure and publish results of working of software?
Looking at the original paper, the author does the analysis looking at breakthrough drug trial design, but doesn't really talk about what it means.

Of the 46 drugs approved under breakthrough designation, 25 were for oncology. The FDA often allows for a lot of flexibility with trial sign in oncology due to the high unmet need.

The author mentions a lack of trials being double-blinded, having a placebo or active comparator and clinical outcome vs. surrogate marker.

All of this is quite common outside of the breakthrough drug designation. Nothing new here. Double-blinding a trial isn't as big a deal when what you are measuring is not impact by observer bias (tumor size). In addition, if you're measuring a surrogate marker (that is an accepted proxy for clinical outcomes), you don't need a comparator arm.

I don't think any of these findings should be all that surprising or concerning.
Of course. My point is, that wouldn't actually work very well, for the reasons I mentioned above.
Are you arguing that we should forbid minors from using social networks and require them to tell users that what they're doing is addictive and to seek help when they notice signs of addiction? Maybe we should also strictly regulate using social networks over the Internet...

That's more than a little bit anecdotal, physical and psychological dependence on cannabis ranks well below opiates, tobacco, even alcohol. Not to mention the fact that people's lives literally do depend on quitting opiates and tobacco, while cannabis not at all.

Typically contractors and subcontractors are paid by the job, not hour. Yes, it's definitely considered difficult labor, but again, the body adapts and strengthens. I wouldn't suggest working in 100 degree sun, however, that's just crazy.

Definitely interesting... I think this speaks mostly to having a direct compile option for .Net Core that works well more so than the platform as a whole.

Personally, my first past at most things these days would be with Node.js simply because of productivity, but it's nice to see more options for performance growth as needed.

>Roofing especially in a hot climate is harder more demanding work than a warehouse job.

Have any evidence of this or is it purely anecdotal? Many warehouses aren't air conditioned, especially Amazon ones.

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-warehouse-2011-9

> Amazon kept paramedics in the parking lot of the warehouse to treat employees who were fainting, suffering from dehydration, or exhaustion.
I think the point was that Amazon pays salaries/wages, the recipients buy gas for their personal vehicles, and that gas is taxed to pay for the roads.

Presumably Amazon funds paid to delivery services are also used to pay for gas, which therefore indirectly pays for the roads.

Just to note how common delta-sigma converters are: Arduino's got them for voltage sensing.

I dare say that the most common AD converters are simply delta-sigma converters, especially if 1MHz conversions is fast enough for your tasks.

To get into the 100MHz or above speed (ie: Oscilloscopes, Software defined Radios, etc. etc.) you need to use other techniques.

While I don't have to deal with high latency but I have to use 64kbit from time to time so I developed some processes to deal with this.

- wiki, old.reddit, most news sites, github ... - css and js are loaded from my tampermonkey scripts and i update them every once a half year or so so. Then in umatrix i block loading css and js from their servers so that only my own is loaded(also has benefits of using custom themes/fixes)

- google(youtube)/facebook sites are a major pita. You can use youtube-dl to download videos, you can even perform some basic search like `youtube-dl ytsearch5:keyword --get-title --get-description` but I haven't researched if there're any better youtube-alternative sites because on 64k it's unusable anyway. Otherwise using mobile apps instead of sites is the only option here because google changes these assets quite a lot and the compression/obfuscation changes the names of css classes

- use RSS (inoreader) as much as possible - RSS you can get all the updates and especially inoreader has a neat feature called "Load mobilized content" which only grabs the text from the site and sends it back - also using it for my youtube subscriptions
Unfortunately this change has resulted in something very confusing: there's a stretch of 295 going to/from the PA border in NJ that is labeled 295 North, but will take you south (or you'll go north on 295S). Once you get into PA it makes perfect sense -- it changes to 295 East/West, but NJ between the PA border and the rt. 1 intersection is labeled the opposite direction of where you're going.
That's a bit hyperbolic. Definitely not true for everyone.

I don't tend to type fast when I code because I stop to think a lot. If I time myself on one of those typing speed challenge sites I usually get up to maybe 140-145 WPM, but in real life it never works that way.

It appears that “full employment” means the lowermost slice of employed workers are sloshing around at the bottom of the barrel with a few giant monopsonist-type employers paying economically efficient wages — with enough “price discovery” in that “market” (cycling of subsistence workers with few options as individuals in and out of jobs) to make it balanced from the perspective of any one large employer.
> If the study was flawed, there is no real take away

There is no real takeaway, OK, but people confuse this with the idea that moral plasticity might be unproven.
