In the USA, the 65-and-over age group appears to have significantly more political power than the 18-to-24 age group, even though the latter group is much more likely to be employed. The explanation seems straightforward: older people vote at significantly higher rates than young people. In fact the economic dependency of older people seems to be a rallying cry for considering their interests; both parties will invoke "grandmothers living on fixed incomes" when they want to promote or oppose some broader policy.

Maybe only tangentially related, but Michael Pollan's recent book about psychedelics "How To Change Your Mind" goes in-depth on this. There's something about being able to quiet the "default mode network" that lends the mind to transcendental/creative thought. The same effect can be achieved through meditation or breathwork.
>Civica Rx will require hospitals to commit to long-term contracts to buy the medications at fixed prices, even if another generic company drops its prices lower. Liljenquist argues that the long-term stability will be more attractive than the short-term temptation of getting a deal.

Just a guess: existing high-priced generic pharma companies will react by offering similar long-term contracts. They'll try to do an end run around Civica Rx.

I will admit that I'm puzzled that the FDA has not reacted to the high prices and shortages by allowing more competitors to be licensed to create various drugs and to enter the market quickly and easily.
I'm no CPU engineer, but this smells like some sort of chip-level macro function that cuts edges even more than the spectre/meltdown issue.

No it's not. I've seen it used within petrochem and other engineering firms as well. For example, the real time simulator Opal-RT uses Simulink and Opals are used for things like simulating power systems.

Although you may not like it, it serves a purpose and it's one tool among many.

My initial thought is that this would create a "wild west" type society where bounty hunters go around and have shootouts with criminals, but without police training.

Also, how are cash fines going to work against broke criminals? "Oh, you stole a bunch of money because you have no money. Pay a fine"
I don't think any app review process is more than theatrics. Google, Apple or Microsoft. There's too many programs with too much code with too many places for malicious code to hide.

The programs allegiance is always with the people who write it (exploitable bugs aside). Either you trust those people with the permissions you give them or you don't give them those permissions. How can Apple know who to trust? How can the end user?

OCaml has an big presence in European universities, specially in France thanks to INRIA.

Our university was big in Prolog (SWI) and Caml Light back in the day, and they still are, just with Caml Light having been replaced by OCaml.

The only reason I known a bit about SML is because I am a language geek, it is hardly known in this side of the pound.
This is simply wrong. The judgement clarifies explicitly that the hate speech in question was the antisemitic slogans that were used as cues, and which were audible on the video.
I was long TSLA for a long time and made good money. I sold them off in the $350s once I decided they still had a very long road ahead, and they were already priced to execute perfectly. I've shorted them off and on, but shorting requires more time than I have to spend watching stocks right now.

Other problems with shorting is that the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent. TSLA has a huge fanboy level following that ignores any financial metric. I almost entered another short after the $420 tweet, but I thought no way would Musk commit fraud and lie.

> Why do you have to publicly trash talk them so hard if your analysis has merit?

I also do not think pointing out facts is trashing them. Again, all of this bad news and press is of TSLAs/Musk own doing. Stop over promising and under delivering. Stop acting crazy in public. Stop losing $700M+/quarter. Stop committing what looks like fraud.
> Intel cores can run in one of three modes: license 0 (L0) is the fastest (and is associated with the turbo frequencies “written on the box”), license 1 (L1) is slower and license 2 (L2) is the slowest.

Wow, let's give the word "license" semantics not related to software licensing, and cause confusion between L1 meaning "L1 cache" and "license 1".
Are you ok, man? Peering through the pseudo-intellectual smokescreen the only thing approaching a concrete example of a problem is the claim that this UI change "breaks DNS", which is trivially false. No real world examples are cited unfortunately.

And your analogy betrays fundamentally confused thinking. Omitting "www." would be more comparable to omitting "1st floor" for one story building addresses than omitting the city or state. The only address this would "break" is a building with different tenants operating out of "123 ABC St, 1st floor" and "123 ABC St", which is a misconfigured building if you could even find an example of that.
Wow, you're right. I just noticed that. It's like the Skimm for men.

Please kindly cut the BS and use the link and title of the study. The magazine it's published in seems to be the second highest impact magazine of its field (sorry I haven't done research in cellular biology to know the magazine well). So, the study is probably reasonable. The click-baity artistic interpretation of the study is what tarnishes this and numerous other works.

Indeed. If you have some piece of code in a different security context that conditionally executes a heavy instruction based on a decision made over some sensitive data, doesn't this provide a way to obtain information about that data?

Whole Foods produce has been dreadful for years. As I understand it, that's the result of a deliberate shift from groceries to prepared foods ("stop in and pick up dinner for the night"). Amazon definitely didn't break Whole Foods produce.

Whole Foods in Chicago does a good job with meat, dairy, and beer. We more or less treat it as a specialty store for those three categories, and buy everything else from local stores. Produce, in particular, is always better at Mexican grocery stores.
it's not easy to policy a pool of drivers, but that's not my concern as a consumer - that's on you to figure out your business model - if you've lost the consumer confidence, that's a direct threat to your business, not just a 'whoops I tried my best I promise I'll do better'

8 Smart Ways to Raise Your Game and Become a Successful Freelancer
3/4 college students report extreme stress, many with 'suicidal thoughts.'
I currently don't really have time currently to write this up in a blog post or article. As the state of the field is, it is often handy to be able to bind to C or C++ libraries (such as liblinear, Tensorflow, etc.).

I used to use Go when Rust 1.0 was not out yet. I was generally happy with Go. My primary gripes were:

(1) C calls are relatively expensive, which is ok for long-running functions (e.g. run a Tensorflow session), but now nice for calling C code in a tight loop.

(2) Go gives no control over memory alignment, while C++ machine learning libraries generally prefer alignment on a certain boundary. IIRC Go aligns slices on a 16-byte boundary and Eigen (which is used on Tensorflow) wants arrays that are aligned on a 32-bit boundary. I don't know if this is still true, but Tensorflow used to make a copy of an array that was incorrectly aligned. So, you had to resort to doing allocation in C and then using the SliceHeader hack to give the array somewhat of a native Go interface. But since the backing memory is allocated in C-land and Go does not have general destructors (only defer), you have to rely on finalizers to do deallocation (which provide no guarantee when they are called) and/or relying on the user to explicitly call a resource deallocation method. Of course, that does not really gel well with slices.

(3) Rust + LLVM optimizes far better than the Go compiler. This is not a secret. Parametric polymorphism provides much more opportunities for inlining than dynamic dispatch and LLVM inlines and optimizes aggressively. I spent a lot of time compiling compiled Rust and compiled Go assembly and the differences are quite shocking. That said, the Go people have been working on better inlining as of recently and with the possibility of generic in Go 2.0, things will probably get better.

That said, I think that in larger teams, Go may still be the better choice. It is easier to pick up. It is harder to make code that is 'too clever'. It has good packages, such as gonum, which provides a lot of linear algebra functionality and functionality for plotting. Tensorflow has direct support for Go, including for building computation graphs, etc.

I would love to try Julia! But I did not progress much beyond the first few steps of the tutorial ;). I think I would like it much for quick exploration in the vain of Python + numpy.

Neither of those things bother me. Being a conformist is not a virtue in a business culture marked by top-heavy bureaucracy, mediocrity, me-too hype chasing, and slow decline. Economists, board members, bankers, c-level execs - the shot callers of the world are much less clever and equipped to lead than they collectively think they are. If you think hitting a joint is a red flag, I wonder what kind. It's just showmanship - he's building up his normal-guy folk-hero persona. It means nothing else, is completely harmless.

Probably less expensive to buy 40 base-model iphones of whatever is the least expensive that can run the latest iOS, and pay a click worker to farm it. Something like $16000 USD one-time cost, plus salary, and once the phones are so obsolete that they can no longer install the app, figure you can wipe and resell them for $80-100 each.

That's pretty disappointing. Nate is clearly a smart guy who I ha.. a decent degree of respect for, but he's being quite disingenuous there. I predict a crushing win in a football game. I get a crushing loss. I respond, 'Well I think I was about as right as usual since I predicted just about the right number of shots on goal.' Presidential elections are decided exclusively by the electoral college, which is what everybody bases their predictions on. As everybody got this unbelievably wrong, he's instead looking at the popular vote and arguing that 'Well we were pretty much right there, so there was no problem.'

Everybody was predicting a crushing electoral victory for Clinton. Instead she suffered a crushing electoral defeat. Look at 538's own forecasts [1]. You'll note he put the odds of Clinton Winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college at just 10.5% when not only is that what happened, but it happened by a wide margin with Trump's electoral victory margin being even greater than was predicted for Clinton's.

As an aside, even the popular vote aggregates are somewhat disingenuous since they're heavily based on major polling screw ups. For instance Clinton's margin of victory in the popular vote nation wide is smaller than her margin of victory of victory in California alone. 538 was off by more than a million votes there, which they're now using to try to spin into defending the aggregate numbers (which are not even what the election was predicted on to begin with.) This is just really disingenuous stuff.

That doesn't really make a lot of sense though - the experiment was specifically launched with the goal of trying to solve the problem of sharing screenshots with others; a problem they identified as common through user research. So while I think there's a lot to say for changing the wording, the primary action will always be sharing it.

Yes, this is the correct approach. She just walked into some guys apartment and killed him.

Also this incident is a strong argument for locking your door all the time. If this fellow had his door locked she wouldn't have been able to enter and would have clued into the fact that it wasn't her place.

Hmm .. maybe an option in this startup space is a unified app for existing taxi and limo services? You see Taxis in every city with adverts on the side saying "Download our app." You can support local taxis if you want, but it takes that effort and no one does it.

The last time I was in Berlin, Uber drivers were required to be taxi operators. The Uber app just hailed a taxi driver, so there was no real difference in getting a Uber vs hailing a cab.

Instead of each Taxi company trying to stay on top with their own individual apps (which are probably made by like 3 US companies who sell/rebrand their services to everyone), why not an app system that connects you to local Taxi services?

Support your local Taxi company. Put in your destination and get a list of rates and estimated wait times from companies .. you could put fancy Limo companies right next to the Taxis in the rare case someone wants to pay some crazy amount for a limo (or so they can use the same app to book one for a big engagement/later time).

Is there anyone in this space?
