Anders Ericsson has replied to this meta-analysis [1], which in turn got a reply from McNamara et al [2].

In Ericsson's opinion/definition [1], deliberate practice is "individualized practice with training tasks (selected by a supervising teacher) with a clear performance goal and immediate informative feedback was associated with marked improvement"; and he argues "In contrast, Macnamara, Moreau, and Hambrick’s (2016, this issue) main meta-analysis examines the use of the term deliberate practice to refer to a much broader and less defined concept including virtually any type of sport-specific activity, such as group activities, watching games on television, and even play and competitions. Summing up every hour of any type of practice during an individual’s career implies that the impact of all types of practice activity on performance is equal—an assumption that I show is inconsistent with the evidence."

McNamara et al reply saying that evidence only accounts for a relatively small fraction of expert performance [2]: "we found that deliberate practice accounted for a sizeable amount of variance in sports performance (18%), but it left a much larger amount unexplained. Ericsson’s (2016, this issue) evaluation of our research is undercut by contradictions, omissions, and errors." They conclude that "The available evidence indicates that deliberate practice, though undeniably important, does not largely account for individual differences in expertise. Building on Ericsson’s pioneering work, the task now is to develop theories of expertise that include multiple factors."

> Given how quickly music becomes "old" I don't understand why copyright needs to chain up music any longer than two decades

You say that but the Beatles, Elvis, Beethoven, Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson are all artists that had their heyday 30-60 years ago and are still the top selling artists. A lot of them are dead now because of varying reasons, but some are still alive and kicking and giving new performances of their 40 year old music.

Are you going to tell them they have no right to their own work anymore 20 years after they had one of their most successful releases?
I sold my car earlier this year, and started bicycle commuting again about a month ago. I honestly hadn't realized just how wasteful of space car traffic is.

When I commuted by public transit, It was mostly not directly visible to me, especially when I took the train and just bypassed all the traffic. But riding my bike, I see just how clogged up the roads get, and just how much the flow gets disturbed by people blocking intersections and creating gridlock.

The vast majority of these cars are only transporting a single occupant, even the huge 7-seat SUVs. The amount of wasted space is simply astounding.

If we could keep even just the city centers free of cars, there would be so much more space available for pedestrians and cyclists and city life. Sure, allow some commercial traffic, such as deliveries, tradesmen with jobs to do in the city, buses and taxi services.

Ban all private car traffic, and only hand out temporary permits for transporting home bulky objects or similar short-term undertakings. Price it so that people won't just buy one every single day. Maybe set a limit on how many permits are allowed per month, to prevent the wealthy from gaming the system.

Quality of life would increase massively.
Cool ! It's not actually that's why I asked here.

I wonder how long till shared hosting or some sort of similar cloud hosting takes off more that handles a lot of this nuance for you. CDN's can really reduce a lot of the heavy burdens that a single server will face which is downloading static files. Not familiar enough with all the things offered on the cloud, just with the few tools I've used so anyone who might already be aware can let me know. I know the author mentions Amazon's Route53 but I'm on about an all-inclusive solution like one would find in shared hosting that could include:

* SSL - Free tier would bring Let's Encrypt SSL Certs by default, the end-user shouldn't even think about how it works or anything of the sort, it should just work.
* CDN - no need to even think about how it works, ServerlessCDN type of stuff.
* Host any kind of app (maybe some sort of serverless approach or docker, though the less you have to mess with even more dev tools the better)
* Intuitive admin panel for when SHTF with detailed logging.

I'm surprised we're still stuck in the era of CPANEL and L*MP stacks. Imagine if anyone could install and run Discourse as easily as they do Wordpress, same with Ghost. DigitalOcean comes pretty close in this regard, but maybe something more fool proof for the average joe would be great.

A interesting parallel could be made with chess. How did Deep Blue affect the interest of humans in the game of chess? I'm not a chess player, but I seem to recall the effect was at least neutral, if not positive.

And more recently with AlphaGo. Now that humans have no chance of ever beating AI again in the game of go, what will change?

I'm a go player so I'm more interested in this question. Professional go players said that AlphaGo is positive for go, that they will be able to learn from it and reach new levels of play.

Although of course their livelihood depends on the popularity of go, it would be bad press for them to say the opposite.

some of my "just black coffee" friends tell me the same thing - mcdonalds coffee is a good combination of taste and value. they all prefer something else, but mcd ends up being the 'go to' because it's known, it's not bad, and doesn't cost too much (which, typing that out, is probably the same for many of their menu items - not 'best in class', but a decent enough product).

It seems to me utterly unrealistic that the police actually upholds this law. It never, ever happens that a complaint is correctly fired within 30 days and these images are occasionally reported to be used. The "griffie" is not involved until there is an actual complaint, so those images or data from them is no way deposited there. Furthermore, any action at the griffie will inform the accused, which the police doesn't want to happen in almost any case until they're ready.

This may be law, but it's ignored by law enforcement. I guarantee it. This is totally unrealistic.
>But it doesn't solve the "A dependency of a dependency has a massive security hole in it, and there's a patched version which has just been released" pain.

There's no way to solve this problem mechanically, other than to blindly trust the upstream that it only fixes security issues. They could just as well introduce ones (even in a patch that fixes an older one).

Instead, we could have tools that check our "freeze" files, and get advice (from a community resource that combines upstream notices "e.g. my package xxx < v4.5 is unsafe" and community voting/tagging) to give advisory ("you better update this package").

I think this has a lot of potential to be a revolutionary product segment for musicians, for example. So much great music software is out there, literally impeded by not having such a great input mechanism - with something like a reconfigurable keyboard area, it means many different kinds of (musical) user interaction may be defined in the near future .. an interface for mixing, a drum-pad, complex synthesis models rendered in a way for user interaction across multiple domains - I can think of as many uses for this device, as there are iPad apps for musicians.

So I hope some care is given as to latencies and multi-value inputs. It would be great to have a mixer interface overlay running on this thing ..

If anything I'm more for stripping record labels of their copyright, an artist can keep their copyright till they die for all I care. Their families shouldn't depend solely on one artist's income. There's many angles to copyright, it's a complicated subject cause of it, but we need to take away all the noise of it, this legalized censorship against allegedly copyrighted works doesn't actually work is the main issue. Most artists don't even care that their fans download their music until their record labels have them say otherwise. Artists from what I recall make more money selling merchandise and doing concerts...

>What is preventing companies from moving to less expensive cities?

Those cities also have the same restrictive zoning laws, preventing new office buildings and housing just like the expensive cities.

Many American cities are experiencing price increases out of line with prevailing wages to the point that the median income cannot afford the median house. And we're not talking NYC and SF;think Nashville.

Furthermore, talent is concentrated in a few areas. A software firm in Nome, Alaska will have a harder time hiring than one in New York. Infrastructure like airports keeps businesses in hubs. Ports make goods cheap to ship. Having large numbers of local customers helps too
Even if we disregard the obvious costs of having thousands of people screening uploads all day long, I don't think it would work better.
The humans will need to identify the content, and decide if it's public domain or not. This requires an infinite amount of knowledge, or a lot of googling.

I think a hybrid sollution (computer identifies the content, and if it is not sure about it being public domain or not, a human is used to give the final verdict) is probably the best compromise. But I expect that YT is already doing this.
Skimming, that paper says there's no support for it, rather than there being evidence to falsify the idea that different people learn better in different ways.

I seem to learn best when I write stuff down; I've assumed this wasn't true for everyone.

Presumably a basic test like presenting new subjects to a group in 3 different ways (lecture, reading material, activity -- say) and test the group, see if subject matter uptake is identical in each case. Could someone link that, it seems to be like the first thing you'd test?

94% of UK teachers think their pupils learn better through individualised learning methods (according to your first link), but you contend their belief is false ... even though there's no formalised support (again according to the link) why do you think teachers feel there is. Surely they see a portion of their pupils are giving better responses if they present knowledge in one way vs another? Any thoughts on how nearly all teachers are mislead in this way?

It also says, roughly, a third say they'll continue to present according to personalised methodologies even if there's no evidence (yet!) to support that pedagogy. That seems natural; if something appears to work when you do it, even if someone else has no evidence that it works you'll keep doing it.

So which method of information is best for all people, as the contention is this isn't variable: all people learn best by ...? (hearing, seeing, taking part, watching, ...)?

I'm concerned with the continual buyout of large established UK companies by US ones. It's happened a lot in the past ~10 years, most notably Cadbury's, and not only are there tax implications, but the standard of product seems to drop to the lowest acceptable while attempting to keep the same prices. There's also the issue with business ethics of the parent company, which tend to be rather different than the UK.

I got the impression that it was just a joke.
Gen-X here... I'd say its 80% the fault of baby boomers, 10% the fault of Gen-X and 10% of millenials own making.

Lots of Millenials have serious issues with expectation management. Lots of millenials want to work in glamourous industries rather than boring and unpleasant ones that pay well and are somewhat secure.

Gen-X didn't complain early enough about baby boomers selfishness and just got depressed. If we'd have been more politically active earlier maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. We got on with our silent generation parents and they left us what money they had as an inheritance.

Baby Boomers though are the most selfish generation in history who have profited from a period where going to university wasn't just free but you were paid to go, where being able to get 3 jobs at the same time wasn't impossible, where jobs for life with full salary pension were common, where high quality publicly funded housing was sold off on the cheap and where governments realised that housing speculation was a way for the middle class to feel like an entrepreneur.

Every baby boomer who speculated in property decided it was ok for everyone else's kids to struggle to buy a home - when lots of people decides to do that it's a bad situation.

The unwritten contract between parents and children was always that the parent would sacrifice and try to provide a better life for their children and grandchildren.

Fast forward to now where Baby Boomers inherited their parent's wealth and have decided that they're going to spend not just their parent's wealth but also spend all of their own wealth early to travel the world and enjoy life rather than give it to their kids: https://www.ft.com/content/9b4a7bfe-5933-11e4-9546-00144feab...

The problem with this is going to be that once they spend all their own money they will expect the state and their children to look after them despite not handing down any money. The same millenials who have struggled to earn money their entire lives, and will have to compete with AI and robotics.

I fully expect to see many many baby boomer pensioners being left to rot by their millenial children in poor state-run retirement homes as the millenials realise how their own parents screwed them over one last time.

I truly feel sorry for millenials - lots of articles talk up their flaws but they are in no way equivalent to the borderline apocalypse when they reach retirement that they're being handed by baby boomer parents.

Flat white is (or at least was) an Australian thing. Never seen it anywhere else (though I suppose it might be spreading). But, Starbucks has everything else (and then some).
That doesn't contradict my point, as I never claimed that was impossible for housing values to depreciate, only that the alternative happens "often". Specifically:

You're treating all real estate as if it's the same, but the world is more complex than that. We're talking about dense metro areas, where development primarily happens to support growing populations and an influx of businesses. How many expensive homes in downtown SF have become worthless because of industrial ventures nearby? Far, far, far less than have become extremely valuable, if any. This isn't just some theory on paper.

Because bulk transport, even including the cost of occasional sinkings due to liquefaction, is cheaper?

See also Glückauf, the first tanker designed to transport oil directly in the hold rather than in barrels. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gl%c3%bcckauf_(1886)

I suppose in addition to the measures described in the article, bulk ships could adopt cargo holds divided into more subcompartments (including longitudinally, to reduce risk of capsizing) , similar to tankers.
The losses are most prevalent on ULBCs, resulting in the biggest ships of all capsizing.

Insurers work with ship regulators and ship owners to prevent this, as not only does it mean they've lost the ship and cargo, but picking up a new ULBC is not a quick process.
I thought Flat White was a London thing. I know it originated from Australia, but its well known as being the overpriced banker/technology worker/lawyer/well paid person drink in London.

I don't know how it compares to xsv, but you might be interested in Miller/mlr (http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/index.html), I've used it because csvkit was too slow for what I needed to do and was pleasantly surprised by its features.
Especially when targeting realistic machine models, there are a lot of things that are suboptimal about the classical sorting algorithms like quicksort or mergesort. For example, a quicksort with perfect choice of pivot will incur a branch miss with probability 50% for every element. That's not something classical complexity analysis measures, but on actual CPUs, branch misses have quite an impact (something like 10–15 cycles). Shameless plug for something I once built for a lecture to demonstrate this: https://github.com/lorenzhs/quicksort-pivot-imbalance

For sorting algorithms that take the behaviour of modern CPUs into account, check out ips4o (https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.02257, code: https://github.com/SaschaWitt/ips4o) or for a simpler algorithm that's still much faster than quicksort in most cases, blockquicksort (https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06697, code: https://github.com/weissan/BlockQuicksort). Note that both papers were published in the last two years :)

Of course these algorithms are much more complex and error-prone to implement and use some additional memory, which may explain why they're not used in standard library implementations of popular languages.

As another white African, I feel similarly. I feel very African, and it is part of who I am. My family has been here for about 400 years, but I still also feel I have an additional "inherited" European culture. And this mixed culture is confusing but interesting at the same time.

I lived in the UK for 18 months, and I adapted well there, but I still felt like an outsider. I'm thinking of moving to Germany for a while to see what that's like. I'll probably come back though. Home is home.
