Everything they do is legal, and even if it technically isn’t, there are never any consequences. Plus the statement that the law should prevent unlawful things is simply vacuous. They don’t give a shit about the ethical concerns of invading citizens’ privacy. Obviously.

> While I get it that we can't always be persnicketty about the definition of (thermodynamic) temperature I find these alternate, phenomenological temperatures often do more harm than good. It's not just that it results in misleadingly juicy press releases.

My understanding is that there's a historical reason for this convention. Many telescope observations are calibrated by comparing the sky measurements against measurements of thermal loads with known temperatures. Since the calibration sources are specified with a temperature, it's straightforward to measure the source brightness in units of a pseudo-temperature. But I agree that it's not intuitive for those familiar with it.

Another layer on this is fact that doppler broadening of emission lines from molecules means they cover a finite width. Since typical velocities in astronomy range from fractions of a km/s to hundreds of kilometers per second, line widths are typically given in km/s. Since these line widths originate due to doppler motions, a width in km/s is equivalent to a width in Hz (for a given reference frequency for the spectral line).

The combination of these two things means people often report integrated flux measurements in units of K * km / s! It seems bizarre at first, but this is equivalent to specifying it as power / unit area (again, when there's a reference frequency specified). But these units are often convenient in their own way.

Not entirely true, but I am amazed at just how creative people can get when it comes to money. “Everybody” got their whole lot in, one way or another.

Dogfighting with airplanes is all about energy management (if surprise has failed). Trading altitude for speed, and vice versa. This doesn't make much sense without gravity and atmospheric drag.
You're not wrong inasmuch as that's what happens today. However: tools do help people think. I've worked as both an architect and an urban planner, and seen how people engage with complex systems in those situations. Absent good modeling tools, it's easy to spin fantasies and post-hoc justifications in virtually any direction, and when those directions diverge within a collaborative effort, nothing gets done. A good modeling tool can help the situation simply by limiting the degree of divergence that is possible.

It's a nudge, and it'll take the culture a long time (if ever) to fully respond to it, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
For the milk/bread/postoffice run, I have my "cheater bike":

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu2q0srtj62w3gl/cheater-bike.JPG?d...

It's a ~$50 Gumtree special 2nd hand steel-framed mountain bike, with ~$150 worth of AliExpress Chinese electric bike conversion parts, and a ~$60 battery (You'd need another ~$50 for a charger - I use one of my quadcopter lipo chargers. That battery was originally a big quad one too, so my total outlay was only ~$200.) It gets ~25km on a charge with no pedalling at all (I use it for my ~16km round trip commute and it rarely uses more than 50% of it's capacity, even when I consciously avoid pedalling...) It's _technically_ illegal - it'll put out ~450W going uphill when fresh off the charger, and it's configured with a twist throttle like a motorcycle. To be street legal it'd need to be limited to 200W with the throttle, or 250W as a "pedalo" (where the pedals need to be turning to activate the motor). I've left the controller settings to top it out at 25kmh though (it'll do over 40 if I remove the software limit), so it's not tempting me into going so fast it'll attract attention from the cops... So long as my legs are moving enough when they see me I don't behave in an illegal fashion...
Thgat's not necessarily a good thing.

What's the lesson here? I see 2 suggestions: (1) algorithm engineers try to make inputs as fair as possible, 'promoting' every political initiative perfectly fairly or (2) algorithm engineers train bots to produce output (e.g., election results) they prefer since they're considered morally superior by those involved.

While (2) is definitely worse, I don't think (1) is that much better. It's unreasonable to expect an algorithm to be totally impartial and trying will only lead to more unintended consequences.

Perhaps this is the true evil of advertising-centric revenue models: they put corporate monopolies in charge of swaying the biggest decisions we as citizens can make, the ones that run our societies and our lives.

Privacy, transparency, mental health, etc. for the end user are all important, but in day-to-day life, these considerations pale in comparison to the sheer power these corporations have acquired in steering world affairs.

If they just chose more responsible business models, this wouldn't be happening.

In theory, yes. But it would also destroy all ocean life, with perhaps the very tiny exception of the ecosystems around deep-ocean thermal vents.

But, as another post has explained that this isn't what the ocean-plastics are. They would be better described as a thin soup, or cloud, of tiny plastic particles dispersed over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of ocean, down to depths of up to 100m.
I think it would be the same ∆V requirement (for geosynchronous orbital altitude). But it's not possible to have a geo orbital plane (so the subsatellite point is stationary on the Earth) that is out of the equatorial plane.
A lot of data scientists and analysts favour PostgreSQL for ETL and heavy duty data manipulation. PL/pgSQL lets you perform fairly complex tasks on datasets that may be too large to handle in memory (e.g too big for R and pandas).

And unlike a lot of ETL and reporting tools it doesn’t involve a lot of pointing and clicking. You can put PL/pgSQL in version control along with your R and Python code. That’s very handy for repeatability.
> cleaning up waste at the scales we're talking about, after it's entered the ecosystem, is impossible.

That's a very strong claim, especially attached to an article about cleanup mechanisms. Are you sure some kind of synthetic biology mechanism couldn't work?

Waste removal (be it carbon or plastic) is an engineering problem; source regulation is a political problem, and political problems tend to remain unsolved until it is impossible that they remain unsolved.

It is true that in this age when a tiny minority of the population has read any of the Classics, those are of limited value. And yes, the Classics had to be compiled by an authority, like every other canon in any area of human knowledge. The problem with the concerns of this "free-thinking" people derive from the purpose of having a canon in the first place.

The purpose of the Classics, back in the day when they were still a canon, was twofold. First, on the individual level, was to give you a sampler of different genres so you could figure out what you like or what you do not. Today, a precoucious kid might find a copy of Asimov's Foundation and fall in love with Science-Fiction, which is totally OK. But then he'll go and read every futurist work, including a big portion of utterly forgetable crap (most published works in every genre are crap anyways) and deciding he does not like to read after all. Besides, he will deprive himself of all the other genres that might or might not have been quite enjoyable for him.

But the second and main purpose of the Classics is to serve as a common ground of all the people that have a modicum of education (meaning, everyone with at least a 2 year college degree, and many with no degree at all). And it is because there was an authority that enforced the reading of this canon that each generation could rely on their peer having a bunch of prepackaged ideas to draw uppon; not so that everyone would think the exact same thoughts, but so that everyone's unike thoughts would have anchor points and structural patterns that facilitate exchange of ideas between each other.

In today's world, though, the same gap is filled by pop-culture. There's still a hierachy that decides what movies and TV shows will everyone be expected so see, and everyone is free to indulge as little or as much as they want in other, more obscure/specialized works that they will find because they happened to enjoy the flagship work in that genre that happens to form part of the common canon.

Personally, I do not see anything inherently worse in having a bunch of academics decide what books should I read vs a bunch of Hollywoood execs decide what movies should I watch. But the point is that a hundred years ago, a person that did not know why Lady MacBeth washed her hands would come out exactly as boorish as someone who would draw a blank face when confronted with the phrase "the Light side of the Force".

Indirectly, yes. The developer of the version of 2048 everyone has heard of (Gabriele Cirulli) had apparently never heard of or seen Threes, but the games he was copying/inspired were in turn inspired by/copied from Threes, if you dig back far enough.

Note that Threes has different, more complex rules. Some prefer it, but apparently, more people don't. :)

Here's a two sentence summary of SOTA:

- model free methods have seen great success in terms of learning high dimensional tasks however it suffers from being sample inefficient. In other words, it takes too long for real robots. Examples of these methods are TRPO, PPO, ES, etc

- model based methods is an order of magnitude more efficient, and thus, are more practical on real world robots. However, these methods have high bias and most working models are simple in terms of representation power, e.g. GP, time varying linear, mixture of Gaussians,. Examples are PILCO, GPS, PETS, etc

Of course, SOTA is a lot more complicated but it's a short explanation to your observation.

#1 and #2 amount to the same thing, since the success metric for #1, by necessity, has to be the extent to which it produces the political environment favored by its creators. Fairness is giving weigh according to legitimacy, and we as humans always perceive our own side as being more legitimate.

> If they just chose more responsible business models, this wouldn't be happening.

No effort on social change that requires that corporations voluntary forego profit (or that requires that individuals forego status) will ever work, nor should it. Everyone talks about what behavior should be, but nobody wants to talk about the sort of incentive structure that would produce that behavior.

"In this thesis, we present a detailed analysis of the conventions that appear in fictional spaceship design, including a discussion of their origins, their uses in emulating certain traits, and reasons these conventions might be followed or ignored."

Is there any further proof needed that we live in an enormously wealthy society that we can afford to pay people to engage in such frivolous research.

It's also proof that AI will not result in net unemployment, because it will just open up the possibility of more of these sorts of frippery jobs.
That's true in general, but sometimes it's easier than others.
Price signals tend to ignore externalities. I'm not arguing that there's a huge issue re cracking or burning plastic waste vs landfilling it and using more oil. You'd need to compare ecological and climate impacts of the alternatives, and that's more than I want to do here.

And not to be boring, but ignoring externalities is why humanity will get seriously screwed through global climate change. There isn't any workable mechanism to price that, as far as I know. Carbon credits are a joke. So it bugs me when people go on about price signals. When there's substantial time lag, the price signal is too late to be useful.
That would be a good start.
I would also say no, absolutely not. It's not worth it in the least.

I have been a Mac user for less time (~16 years for me) than the previous commenter. I have lost confidence in Apple's ability to deliver:

b. a quality OS that I can trust to just work.

I am typing this to you from a Dell XPS 9560 because the 2016 MBP w/Touch Bar has been such a shitshow.

It's been in for repairs THREE TIMES. Between the 2nd and 3rd trip, I switched back to Windows and installed WSL (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)

Windows, VERY ironically, has proven WAY more stable and reliable than macOS. <-- that blows my mind.

I HAVE tried to sell my MBP even at a significant discount over the purchase price. (bought for $4300, I'm asking $3000 and even lowered to $2500) NO BITES. The machine is in immaculate condition, too.

I would be surprised if the other commenter has not had a similar experience.

If Apple is going to be as mediocre as everyone else, then there's absolutely NO POINT to the price premium, and they won't hold their value like they used to.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The unabridged Count of Monte Cristo is a blockbuster that puts Hollywood to shame in its scale.

I don't think there's any real problem here: conservatives in washington wants their base to think there's a conspiracy against them in tech.

The technology industry employs large numbers of people who are college-educated, millennials/yougner Gen-Xers and/or Asian-Americans: people who demographically skew left. This alone makes our industry suspect to the conservatives.

Isn't it odd that Steve Bannon starts publicly ranting about there being too many Asians in Silicon Valley and now all of a sudden we're far too liberal and censoring conservative voices... despite the fact that both Facebook and Twitter have been utilized deftly by conservatives to spread their message and communicate with their voters?
