Even in the most safety-conscious and blame-free work environment, I'm not sure you can entirely remove the desire for skilled professionals to cover up expensive errors. It's just a natural human instinct to want to avoid being embarrassed in front of your peers, no matter how understanding they'll be about it.

I throw an audiobook on that I've listened to many times before, its enough to distract my brain from solving problems of the day, but not enough that I'm listening intently to see what happens. Tend to fall asleep within 15 mins with it.
The study in TFA was conducted with treadmills. So you could not get the same benefits by just sitting around in a moving vehicle. I'm pretty sure that increased blood flow through the brain is responsible for the effect, so you could also try some other forms of exercise.
That's not generally not how evolution works. Sure, a plant will do fine with the current efficiency of photosynthesis, but intuition would tell us that a plant would do more fine if its leaves were more efficient. It would grow faster, have more or better seed and would generally outcompete other plants of its species.

That the efficiency is not higher than this leads us to believe that either:

- there are strong evolutionary imperatives to not raise the efficiency any further (ie: "there has been a need not to", rather than "there has not been a need to). This could be due to a lot of reasons; oxidative stress, a plant's 'desire' to have a large leaf surface, a tendency to dry out the soil too quickly, etc etc.

- With the current 'design' of chlorophyl, it is not possible to increase efficiency further, and it's quite hard to get out of the local optimum.

I hold the opposite view: I read books to extract intelligence that will help me operate in the world. So I interrogate them like detectives interrogate suspects in movies. I sit alone in a room with a book and point a light at it. By the time I am done the book is in terrible shape -- it is lacerated with earmarks, scratched with scribbles, and if it's a soft cover its spine is cracked. The more worn down the book ends up, the more intel I extracted. There might even be some sadistic pleasure in the process.

I think the idea of revering books as objects comes from an earlier time when books were rare and expensive. But now that books are abundant and cheap, it's a useless conviction. We should cherish books for their content not their physical form.

Plus, once I mark up a book it becomes one of a kind and more valuable. If I keep it intact it's indistinguishable from all the other thousands of its clones.

On occasion, I pick up books from my dad's library. His marginalia from decades ago enhance my reading experience. It becomes a meeting of three minds instead of two. I also enjoy putting down my scribbles next to his. Perhaps a few decades in the future my son will stumble on the same book, traverse the same pages, and trace the thoughts and reactions of his predecessors. For me, that is much more compelling than accumulating a family library filled with pristine volumes that make it indistinguishable from a commercial bookstore.
I think you are right, Ikea is an example of a low margin high volume business that seems to get it right.

Exactly this. The Clintons went from stony broke to a $250m fortune and no one quite seems sure how. Even the lucrative speakers fees from Goldman’s can’t explain it.

Love him or loathe him, no one can deny that Trump doesn’t need to do that kind of chicanery.
+1 - imagining myself in some sort of benign make-believe world and what I'd be doing rapidly sends me to sleep. Personally not dwarfs for me, but could be anything - e.g. if I were a living in a TV show/movie's world how would I act?, or if I won the lottery tomorrow what would I spend it on?, or if I could just snap my fingers Magic Genie-style to do things what would I do with that power?

I guess it is the introspection part that concentrates the mind on something totally frivolous and non-productive that allows you to just drop off.

Whatever the root-cause, usually it is a matter of just rolling over, shutting my eyes, then I get maybe 30-90 seconds of make-believe time and I am off and asleep. Probably works about 90-95% of the time - there are off days where I really cant sleep and now I just get up and do something instead.

Doesn't seem to work on planes though! :(

I'm not sure if it is the walking, though light physical movement might be a key. I've been making art since I was pretty young, and the topic interests me.

Any mundane activity can help with creativity, so long as it doesn't take very much brain power. Walking, showering, doing dishes, going for a drive, doing something repetitive. To a certain extent, taking a bus and other things that make you bored or otherwise give you time to think/daydream. I don't know where any of the research I've read is, but I honestly thought this was a known thing already and I'd be interested to see if walking has some sort of advantage over things like washing dishes or driving.

Combine this sort of thing with learning and improving your general world knowledge. Learn about things you didn't know about or aren't connected to your work. Learn about other people. Do things that challenge your world view. Other people's ideas often play into this so long as you give yourself time to think about things.

I personally think this is why people think drugs make them more creative: There are many drugs out there that can change your perspective on things, even if it is temporary and slight. Alcohol is enough. There more perspective on has and the more knowledge one has, the greater the base is for a person to be creative and combine ideas.

Amazon leadership principle numero uno:

"Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust."

Today:

> The push by the giant online retailer means consumers — even Prime customers, who pay $119 a year for access to free shipping as well as streaming music, video and discounts — are likely to be confronted by ads in places where they didn’t exist before.

Was this really the outcome from "start with the customer and work backwards?"

> ...it [Amazon] is rapidly emerging as a major competitor to Google and Facebook.

Gotcha. We all know who "the customer" is in this market.

Seriously, completely wrong direction Amazon. Our trust is already eroding due to fake reviews, counterfeit items, and Amazon Marketplace nonsense. Racheting up ads will make us further question where your loyalties lie.

People much prefer a convenient scapegoat from the Others than actually doing the hard work of fixing a problem.

>The market for upscale electric cars is Tesla’s to lose, with sales of its entry-level Model 3 sedan expected to reach about 50,000 cars this year and almost double that in 2019.

The company has already exceeded an annual production rate of 210,000 Model 3 (cf. https://electrek.co/2018/09/02/tesla-misses-model-3-producti...). Tesla also expects to build over 7K Model 3s per week by the end of the year, which would be 350,000 units for 2019 (assuming a two week downtime). From the 2018Q2 earning call (https://seekingalpha.com/article/4193497-tesla-tsla-q2-2018-...):

>We're going to try to raise that rate of the Model 3 production steadily in the coming quarters and try to get to the 10,000 cars a week number as soon as we can. As we spent a lot of time debugging a wide range of manufacturing issues that the potential for our existing lines to be able to produce far more cars is much greater than expected.

Considering their current deliveries, I wonder why Reuters only expect 100K Model 3 sales in 2019. Are they dishonest or just terribly bad at journalism?

Sweden Was Long Seen as a ‘Moral Superpower.’ That May Be Changing
Why are you talking about priors ? Nonparametric vs parametric is an axis completely orthogonal to Bayesian vs Frequentist.

We weren't talking about the "success" though, I was responding to the question "where in the body of stats literature would a neural net model lie".

I argue that would be non-parametric stats. In parametric stats the limit (#params/#data) goes to 0. For models where this is not the case, statisticians and probabilists call them non-parametric (and in certain cases semi-parametric models). Neural net, especially the deep kind (and certainly not the single layer kind) have the property that #params/#data is finite and large.

> The reason so many programmers struggle with this problem is because nobody is paying them to write CRUD applications in Haskell. If they were, they'd find it more than adequate to the task and the job would be easy and painless.

I get paid to write applications in Scala that are often mostly CRUD. The temptation to overengineer is still there and still constantly needs to be fought.

I've seen the same thing happen in plenty of Java codebases too, mind. There it tends to be less "make this work for any possible Monoid" and more "make it work for any imaginable form that the user might want to build", but I think it's another facet of the same issue.

The reason is explained in the front matter: “On one level, the data is simply a part of a mundane programming book. On another, each row represents immense suffering, lives lost, and in some cases amazing redemption and acceptance. In preparing for this dataset, I was deeply moved by a number of the statements and found myself re-evaluting my position on capital punishment. I hope that as we examine the data, you too will contemplate the deeper issues at play.”

Some of the big ones go against the grain of the American suburban ethos:

Live somewhere where you don’t have to drive at all.

Don’t fly on airplanes.

Choose multi-family housing with central heating and air, the larger the building the better (both because larger heating/AC systems are more efficient and because the lower surface area to volume ratio helps reduce loss). Minimize your use of heat/AC and hot water.

Purchase only produce grown locally (shipping produce is very carbon-inefficient).

Buy less stuff overall.
