Values that have that ratio might be good, but I'm not sure about the magnitude because maybe the average number of votes is too high so that the prior overwhelms the data. The scores get pulled towards that ratio as you increase the magnitude. If the ratio is close to 0 it has the effect of downranking videos with few votes, and if the ratio is close to 1 it has the effect of upranking videos with few votes. The effect might be too strong if you use the average magnitude. It might also be good to set the ratio a bit lower than the average ratio if you want to rank conservatively.

Parametrising it like you suggest might make it easier to experiment:

ratio = 0.5
number = 100
pretend_upvotes = ratio*number
pretend_downvotes = (1-ratio)*number

You could even set ratio to 0, but I actually think it makes sense to rank 1 up / 2 down above 101 up / 200 down, because the latter is definitely bad whereas the former might be good.
I think "adventured" shows you what we're dealing with.

There is no respect for the fact that some members of our society continue to enjoy certain advantages. When you're the one who recieves such, this is subtle.

Telling people about the racist history behind zip codes can be a hard conversation. Telling white people about the way black families have "the talk" about being careful not to spook police, or white people who call police simply for being black... That's a hard conversation. Telling my fellow white men about how women have their own version of "the talk" about walking down the street alone in more communities than you realize... That's often a hard conversation.

The talk about how the poor deal with more expenses, more physical pain, less power to demand basic humanity from shittier bosses... As a car-dweller with a full-time job on the East Coast, I've had to deliver it repeatedly.

Nobody helps, unless you can earn the trust of others in a similar situation. And car-dwellers move around too much to make those relationships.

Nobody had these hard conversations with me growing up. I had black friends, activists, girlfriends that informed me about how my own neighbors live. I didnt always take it well at the time, but I did grow from the experience.

And no matter how much we rage about it on twitter in our safe little bubbles, nobody that needs this revelation is going to hear it anywhere but in person.

The subgroup of Conservatives whose ideology boils down to "screw you, I got mine" is just Sociopathy claiming Righteousness via deformed Capitalism. These people need to be called out as the anti-patriots they are.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. Your opinion is reasonable.

This is a super helpful set of points. I've always had similar questions to your AAPL/NFLX/UA examples. I think the insight here, is that brokerage accounts and most sites treat your "list" as binary - you either "own"/"track" something or you don't.

In reality, you're tracking a lot of opportunities, and every decision you've made represents several different scenarios. It should be as easy to look back on a scenario (AAPL versus NFLX+UA performance over the last 3 years) as it is to see the performance of any of those specific securities.

You should also be able to easily see that your "biotech" list outperformed your actual portfolio, or that your "tech" list is outperforming your "European companies" list (or whatever else).

We probably won't go too deep into backtesting various strategies, as there is powerful software for that today, but we definitely can support the analyses in this thread.

Ouch. Sadly, not an uncommon failure mode. Raise more than you can easily be bought out for (> $50M) and spend it faster than you can grow into product fit.

That said, I am a bit surprised that there isn't more demand for a domestically developed drone operating system. Given the issues the Army has with DJI stuff it seems like it would be a natural support a local company that could provide a similar capability.

“I might occasionally need to use a car, therefore I should use it all the time no matter the context” is a very weak argument.
So I just tried it and it's surprisingly usable (I am always somehow skeptical about non-Bash shells). It even takes into account my ~/.inputrc, so kudos.

However, I struggled a little bit with

$ time ls

where the output of `time` is mangled in-between the output of `ls` - this may be related to STDOUT and STDERR buffering?

> Force me to share a lane with multi-ton metal beasts travelling much faster than me

That's the problem with the keep as far right as practical law that only applies to bicyclists. For other slow vehicles, it means that they use the rightmost lane available for traffic. For bicyclists, it means that they need to share the lane side-by-side with a car in a lane that's only wide enough for the car by itself or two bicyclists riding abreast.

If the bicycle specific keep as far right as practicable law was repealed such that the cyclist could just use the entire width of the lane they're in, then people riding a bicycle in traffic wouldn't have the lane sharing problem you describe.

Guaranteed someone/a few people at Apple are reading this thread and sending an email to their boss to do some more mkt research into demand for an SE refresh.

As another poster downstream pointed out, they could be saving the release of the new SE for another announcement in 6 months to avoid cannibalizing their new flagship phones
Jonathan Haidt has a great concept for this "trying to get people fired at all costs by taking the most offense and doing the worst read of something someone said".

He calls it the "prestige economy", where one gains great prestige in the eyes of one's group by calling out someone for being racist/sexist etc., even when the caller KNOWS (he references the Dean of Claremont McKenna getting fired as example) that's not at all what that person intended. Intent doesn't matter in that world view, and it becomes all about gaining prestige through intentional (or maybe not) misinterpretation of their position.

It's a dangerous game to play, and I can't see it leading to anything but the worst tribalism and division among well-meaning people.
Every part of this is wrong. But the "notch trend" bit is hilarious. The idea that the notch is a "trend" Apple started on purpose, rather than a design element that was necessitated by making a full-screen phone that still needs to have 9 sensors and devices pointing forwards is laughable enough, but the idea that Apple would refuse to implement another design because of the "notch trend" is full-on goofy. Apple doesn't think or work that way.

Full test coverage of foo() is hard to prove. Have you exercised every argument possibility, every exception that could be thrown and every global/class/instance var reference? Working with Ruby most of my career, my experience is probably not.

Look, it's HARD to see the other side. I get it. But take a beat.

No one is asking you to sit quietly. Your welcome to disagree. We expect the conservative to be able to hear about your approval (from their perspective) of the violent murder of babies for your personal convenience without losing their ability to work with you effectively as a co-worker and treat you with dignity while disagreeing. It's fair to think there'd be reciprocity and you should be able to do the same when they discuss gay marriage.

Usually when I point the above out, I'm told that OF COURSE it's cool to expect the conservative to handle talk of abortion or public approval of abortions "appropriately" in the workplace because their perspective it's murder is merely an opinion---and a wrong one at that. But your perspective that gay marriage is not a sin is a FACT, not an opinion, so they should suck it up and keep their filthy biases to themselves.

Unsurprisingly, conservatives do not appreciate the attitude that their opinions are wrong and should be hidden as shameful secrets and liberal opinions are right and should be trumpeted from the roof.

Just because there is even more bloat being loaded from other sources doesn't mean that adding more bloat doesn't matter. This kind of mindset has brought us to exactly this point where modern web sites are loading more slowly than one from 20 years ago would have while using dial-up.
Yes. I spent almost my entire life on the far left, admired and voted for Nader, etc. And being honest, kind of thought the thoughts you're expressing here.

By happenstance, a couple of years ago start spending a lot of time with conservatives. It was kind of shocking to discover, but on average, they're every bit as kind and compassionate as the liberals I know. Maybe a bit more so.

There are outliers in both groups, but being a good person is largely orthogonal to politics.

I don't really expect anyone to take my word for it, but maybe you'll consider the possibility.
Conversation isn't the only thing you can do with messages. Alan Turing didn't crack Enigma so that he could have a lovely chat with the Germans.

It has less to do with the space, and more to do with the odd engineering decisions and multiple pivots.

There wasn't a SDK or platform to build on and we didn't take any actual orders for anything (so we had minimal success stories or $$$). The hardware we showed was built by us, and ran a custom OS (not based on linux) that was nearly impossible to work with. We had a very talented engineer rage-quit after spending a week attempting to figure out how the OS handled the internal message bus system to debug an issue.

The hardware was also crazy expensive. We built literally everything: the vehicles, autopilot, the autopilot OS, the comms board that connected to motors (and enclosures), the sensor boards (GPS, gyro, etc), the radio that talked to the autopilot, the flight planning software, and later an entire enterprise cloud stack written in only the newest of the new JS frameworks and containers. The team often decided to do things such as not use off-the-shelf processors like the Nvidia TK1 or existing embedded software solutions -- nothing was 'good enough' so everything was invented.

Oh, and did I mention we also cycled through recruiters like candy?
That is presently true but it doesn't have to be. A Silicon Valley business could start paying millions of people to perform tasks for it - like babysitting a semi-self driving car.

Mind providing some examples? Trying to understand.
Wrong. You're arguing a point the parent poster didn't make.

The parent poster stated:

> Who chooses the special magic groups that are to receive the forced empathy?

The _giving_ (and thus on the other side, receiving) of empathy is an action, which requires time and energy of human lives. These are finite resources. You telling me what to do with my life directly goes against a plethora of other actions that I could be carrying out. Which may have even been for your benefit, by the way.

Also, your statement:

> I don't feel as though compelling others to not be hateful is a bad thing.

is extraordinarily naive. "Hate" can be "justified", like any other action. Consider a crime carried out by an individual. This individual may be caught and, through a process, be delivered a punishment which may be called "justice." Whatever form that justice takes, it's said to be justified. Whether it's jailing someone, shaming them, or simply "hating" them--there may be a very good reason for that hate.

You state:

> I think exercising hate towards others is worthy of punishment.

> It's not punishing people for not thinking the way I do, it is punishing people for being hateful towards others.

This is entirely absurd. Tell that to anyone who has ever been wronged by an abuser, a deceiver, a warmonger.

By your actions, you would seek to let such malevolent individuals and groups profit at the expense of others, who would even simply "hate" them--much less begin to take corrective action to thwart them.

You seriously need to reexamine your outlook.

LOL! Anyone in this thread who uses the actual words describing what "conservative opinions" really are get downvoted. I guess we'll have to play the conservative euphemism game!

Instead of xenophobic, you should say 'supports strong borders'.

Instead of sexist, you should say 'believes in right to life'.

Instead of homophobic, you should say 'follows traditional family roles as set by the bible'.

Instead of racist, you should say 'prefers real Americans'.

Instead of hates the poor, you should say 'believes in supply side economics and welfare reform'.

Instead of spiteful, ignorant, unreasonable liars, you should say 'fair and balanced'.

Also why wasn't he made to ditch instead. I'd like to know if that was the right decision? Destroying $5 million helicopters in a war zone kills people and an amateur landing on a ship must be very risky for them and crew.

In Germany almost every shop is closed on Sundays, with a similar idea behind it. Only the most necessary jobs are done (firefighters and hospital workers) and there is free time for everyone to relax. Now just to tone down the electricity usage.. (but actually Sundays is a good day to use electricity in your home because the commercial use is so much lower)

It's nice to have articles like this to give structure to the conversation, but there's no single solution. Python has default levels of; debug, info, warning, error, and critical, but doesn't really give any guidance to what each means. At one company we tried to create some structure, but 3rd party libraries would flood messages at the "wrong" logging level.

I like these 5-levels and the 3-levels you talk about seem like a paired down version that reenforces what each level means.

To illustrate the "no single solution," we tried to use logging for command line output, neither of those systems really has a level for that. We probably should have created a new level between INFO and WARNING because of chatty libraries.

In practice I've found the DEBUG and TRACE are usually best added to code when troubleshooting. When you're writing the code you don't have a good idea what info you'd need when troubleshooting, so it's overly verbose but still missing what you'd want. When trying to stash all logging either locally or centrally (because adding logging and re-running isn't always an option) it can affect performance.
> for 99% of developers out there, a difference in 300kb is just completely irrelevant.

I really believe only two levels are necessary most of the time: error, and info. Error is for anything that a dev should be notified about (AKA if you send an error log message, assume someone will be notified about it immediately), and info is for any other useful debugging information, like "we got a request for /foo/bar at 10 pm". I also think structured logging is absolutely essential. Log levels are really just a way to get some of the benefits of structured logging.
In westside neighborhoods, it is not unusual to see people with modified beach cruiser bikes going to and from the beach. These have a surfboard rack that puts the board parallel to the bike. Basically two deep, foam-padded u-shaped brackets jutting out on one side of the frame. When carrying a board, it just shifts the center of gravity of the bike a bit in between the frame and the outboard cargo.
>Only by a hysterical person.

This is incredibly insulting, especially since you've thrown it out curtly with no explanation. While I personally am not threatened by a person voicing their gun enthusiasm at work (giving all benefit of the doubt to the hypothetical gun enthusiast, e.g. it's not an out-of-the-blue zealous fervor), but I can easily imagine a non-hysterical person feeling threatened if they have zero experience with gun owners and zero context with which to personally relate to gun owners. Try to have at least a little understanding of other people whose experiences are not your own.

> There are some studies that indicate that different parts of the brain are used when solving large and small problems. That small problems might involve more activity in long term memory.

I’ve been aware of a similar problem for a while now. When you write a complex system you’re always adding one more detail to something you already know. At some point when you’ve sailed far beyond all propriety, you built a system that can only be understood once it’s been memorized. Every new hire seems more useless than the last but the real problem is you.

Breaking up the long convoluted flows into smaller, self contained ones gives the new people a way to go about memorizing the system.

Otherwise they’ll just start crossing their fingers and hoping their changes work.
