Either my communication style is horrible or you go to great lengths to misunderstand me. Either way it's sad.

Papers should, in general, be judged by their merit. The editor of the Intelligencer did so and wanted to publish it in "Viewpoints", essentially an op-ed section.

That was shot down. Not for quality, or unsuitability for the medium, but because of a political campaign. Therefore the paper was _not_ judged for its merit.

Somebody ought to make it whole - ideally the Intelligencer, but I can understand if they don't want to take on the dumpster fire again that is political activism in academia. Second best is another journal that could open with a disclaimer like above to clarify what's going on.

Both to give closure to an author who is in a state that shouldn't happen in academic publishing (published but not published) and to make clear that scientific merit is what decides what ends up in a journal and not activists.

Somewhat but not quite unrelated:

I predict that we'll see a similar situation (a minor paper left in limbo after it got depublished due to unscientific activism and backroom pressure) in a couple of years again (within the next 5 years), with some progressive topic being suppressed.

I also predict that there will tons of outrage over that by the very same activists that are very pleased with themselves today over the outcome of the current campaign.

That kind of ignorance goes both ways. I for my part become suspicious of any Argument that is using data with a limited amount of context and Details on how the data was collected and analysed.

Especially if the aim is to have some kind of "proof" for the superiority of one group of people over another.

Using your specific example of the 100m-record. Women's 100m 1988: 10.49s, men's 100m 1987: 9.93s. Less than a second difference. And I would argue that with a time of 10.49 even a women would have been competitive during the 60s.

And now I stop this arguement, as long we are talking at this level of who is superior there is no way we reach the point where we talk about how we act on those, most of the time only perceived, differences. Which is the more important question, right?
I've never noticed because I never opted-in to the new site design. That was a pretty sane default, thankfully.

so you get even more details...
There are some things that we talk about everyday and even attempt to measure without having an explanation of what they are. For instance, we say a person is 'happy'. Or 'we feel that...' ('feel'? 'we'?)

Intelligence seems to me like one of those qualities. It's real, but it isn't what we think it is. To me it seems like it ought to be, and often is, subject specific. Yet IQ tests are apparently predictive of career salary.

Some people seem incredibly smart but they don't create anything new. So their impact on the world in limited to 'more of the same'.

Then there's the fact that intelligence isn't additive. A person can make massive contributions to an academic department simply by being genuinely motivated and thereby boosting the morale of his more intelligent colleagues. Whereas a bad genius can retard an entire field (or was is merely that he was mistaken?)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that architectually seems to be a conventional (profile-guided/feedback-driven) optimizing compiler, except the input "language" is machine code.

For instance, it's peephole optimizations are also a chunk of hand-written C++ code (https://github.com/facebookincubator/BOLT/blob/2ed436a6d3b17...), and thus could benefit just as much from the more declarative (and possibly SMT-driven) ideas in this paper.

Finally, there's all sorts of optimizations that are only possible because of high-level information from the source language. For instance, removing unnecessary loads & stores requires knowing pointers don't alias, which is very difficult to deduce given unannotated integers (most of this is driven by language rules, such as the (controversial) TBAA in C). Additionally, even the BOLT paper itself mentions things that can be understood (and optimized for) from a higher-level language, but are much harder to deduce from a raw binary (Section 8):

> Indirect tail calls are more challenging for static binary rewriters because it is difficult to guess if the target is another function or another basic block of the same function, which could affect the CFG

And, the paper touches on your curiosity in the conclusion:

> Nevertheless, a post-link optimizer has fewer optimizations than a compiler. We show that the strengths of both strategies combine instead of purely overlapping

(Oh, one more post-finally thing, there's probably an argument to be had that BOLT fits into the (backend) superoptimizer category of the paper.)
Well correctness is surely an important factor in whether or not mathematics is publishable, wouldn't you say? Necessary but not sufficient, perhaps.
I wasn't talking figuratively, that's literally the definition.

The paper is on Arxiv for everyone to read. But apparently, it was introduced into NYJM through subterfuge, and the peer review board demanded (understandably) that it be removed. Again: its presence in NYJM, given that journal's remit, was embarrassing to everyone involved. Not just politically but as mathematicians.
>It's hard to explain things to laymen, especially in subjects like economics, where everyone thinks they've got a complete understanding of the mechanics after watching a couple YouTube videos.

The refuge of an expert who maybe isn't as much an expert as he thinks he is. Not saying that's you GP, but A) laymen aren't as dumb as you think, B) they don't have an incentive to obfuscate things to preserve or justify their status as an expert, and C) the field of economics suffers enormously from the curse of mathematics. The deeper you go, the less relevant it tends to be at predicting the real world.

I recently took a month to start digging through a slog of economic theory to try to counter my own Dunning-Kruger effect in the field and had to stop because it just made me angry at the sheer scale of uncompensated positive feedback loops and reliance on statistical multiplexing that our economic system is built on. Any system that depends on all depositors NOT needing their assets back at the same time is fundamentally a scam.

A system like Fractional Reserve which is inherently inflationary biases the entire system against those with the smallest and least inclined to grow income streams from the get go.

Economics is difficult when you JUST look at money movement to facilitate virtual growth. When you start looking at economics as a means to an end to get PHYSICAL work or change done instead of just in the vacuum of a theoretical accountant's model, you can see some very disturbing trends in the direction things are going.

And again, that's just from someone from the outside looking in who isn't relying on their economic expertise to win them their daily bread.

Full disclosure, my research revolved more around the ways in which "conservative" (not political, but minimum risk tolerant) investment behavior incentivizes and guaranteed corporate behaviors which optimize for growth figures at all costs, damn the externalities. I'm becoming one of the people who thinks we've been doing things really wrong since about the 80's, but the foundations were laid long before that; we just didn't recognize it because humans generally suck at handling long period trends where the period is > a human lifespan, and labor had enough clout to eke out a greater chunk of the revenue stream at the "cost" of creating a slow growth economy in terms of capital gains by non-practicing investors (I.e. investors who weren't themselves laborers, but were living off managing their wealth's capital gains). Don't ask for data though, my day job has precluded me from being able to do the hard part of the research... (Actually doing it.) I at least think I've almost got the falsification criteria worked out though. Just need to sit down and figure out what data I actually need to give me a complete picture to reason from.
That's a nice alternative. Never thought of that. On most machines I have mc already installed so it's a real package installable alternative (unlike micro).
Brilliant, thanks for writing.

Skip anything by Robert Martin (clean coder series) and read at first Ousterhout and then McConnell instead.

Martin is well intentioned, but very dogmatic about some things like TDD, functions size, personal responsibility, etc. You need to already have some decent engineering experience to be able to detect and ignore the harmful stuff from his books.

It seems biased. I had a similar situation with a client of mine. They went out looked at 3rd party companies, and everything looked decent on paper.

Internally there were some napkin math and found out while the 3rd parties would save development time the returns of implementing features their customers were asking for now instead of waiting for 3rd party company paid for them to hire 3x the engineering staff the 3rd party company even had.

Size matters, Reddit is at the scale of tiny percentage gains, if they control everything and can drop a standard 90ms down to 10ms and that converts to a couple of percentage points on their revenue it is worth it.

Talking from the experience of building out a system that handled +1B impressions a day, the actual ad serving isn't challenging at all these days. Reporting and ad setup from the user is much more challenging.
It is clear on its face that the paper is not of the quality, or even really the subject matter, to merit inclusion in NYJM. It's not even a close call. It's a little embarrassing to see people on HN not able to recognize that. This isn't a political question; it's a "being able to read and evaluate journal articles" question.
OP here. The idea came because on your GitHub profile:

- I can't see all your code contributions since the beginning of time at a glance.

- For each of your pinned repos, I can't tell at the first glance whether you just fixed a typo or you wrote 90% of it.

ghuser.io tries to close this gap. You can show off with your entire GitHub "portfolio" and it gets refreshed every day.

And hopefully this is temporary. The best for the community would be to have all this directly on GitHub. The sooner ghuser.io can be switched off, the better ;)

There is a difference between an individual falling for a scam and a lynch mob. In the individual's situation they may not talk about to anyone, if they do many would be told it is a scam and wouldn't get scammed. In the story they are talking about it with others and there is no one saying "it's a scam/fake" so they reinforce their beliefs rather than have them challenged.

Hi,

I am a Developer with ~5 years professional experience. I have spent a lot of time in the Frontend and love it. Id still describe myself as full-stack though.
Right now Im looking to join a team that stands behind their product and has to abilities to include a remote workforce, since my geographical location will be changing a bit in the next 24 months.
From my real-world testing, you shouldn't really expect to get more than 30-40 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up in a typical scenario. If you're competing with DSL,

For the most part, he isn’t competing with DSL. He is competing with cable. It looks like Comcast does service the area.

Another thing that stands out was that the article mentioned he was paying $1000 for a “< 1Gpbs” Fiber line.

From the link on what’s available in Scranton, it looks like Comcast also offers 1Gbps downloads.

He also said that he has 200 customers - mostly business.

I don’t see how this makes sense from an investment standpoint to offer service in an area that doesn’t appear to be underserved.

I’m definitely no fan of Comcast, but their business internet service is straightforward. If I’m running a business, the cost difference between Comcast and Loop is neglible.

Personally, I’m glad to have the much better, cheaper, gigabit service from AT&T, but I would grin and bare Comcast again if I had too.
Where are people going to go this time? I feel like people usually copy their competitors which is why they consider redesigns worthwhile... but which Reddit competitor is Reddit copying here? I don't think there is one.

Obviously Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Snapchat kind of worry them, but then again, I feel like people are "done" with "social media" so I wouldn't be _really_ worried if I were Reddit. They have the advantage that they can give the user very interest-focused information; when you follow a friend on Facebook, you get their programming advice, baby pictures, and political rants. With Reddit, you get to skip the baby pictures and political rants.

You're right, you could be forced to move. However, there are plenty of rentals that will remain rentals for very long periods of time, effectively forever. I've been on both sides, i.e. Having to move out sooner than I wanted but alternatively being in a rental home that's been so for decades. The main thing is having a conversation with the landlord or property manager and sussing out their longer term goals for the property.

By saving on renting I'm in a much better position financially than I otherwise would've been owning a home. My savings rate is high enough where if push came to shove I could buy the property I'm renting.
I reached my "article limit" for the month, but it makes me wonder, HOW MUCH better could optical fiber be if made in zero-gravity?

Presumably it's all about material purity and accurate/consistent geometry of the fiber itself and the doping profile for refractive index cross-section.

If it were "perfect" how much better would the fiber be? Double the reach? So you cut in half the cost of repeaters/re-generators on long-haul links. Those are definitely expensive, but I think space flight is quite "up there" in cost too.
Yeah, its kind of ridiculous having e.g. the german government expect Facebook what posts are and then delete hate speech and co. If that stuff is illegal, then the persons doing so should be held accountable by our legal system. But politicians love using those companies as easy scape goat. Anyway, p2p solutions usually try to make finding a person to hold accountable harder than current centralized services.
That's what I was wondering about when I read the article as well. $55K is a lot of money. You could get a well kitted Mercedes C class or an Audi A5 at this price.

Is the model 3 really that worth?

Thinking about:
Charging anxiety,
resale value,
relative inexperience in car building from Tesla(compared to Audi and Merc).

The $30K Model 3 I would think is radical and would turn several heads from the Accord, Camry etc..
You can simplify the discussion here by clarifying what you think of the paper's inclusion in NYJM. The paper's status in Intelligencer is of much less impact to the "scientific precedent" of this story, since the Intelligencer is barely science at all.

Nah, no way on average an article gets 166 comments. That must be page views or something.
> Before approximately the Victorian age

No this isn't true. We have excellent data about ordinary people in England, back more than 500 years, and the pattern is very much ordinary nuclear families. More vividly, you know well how much stick a certain Henry got from the pope... for wanting to marry multiple women in series. But Kings are a poor guide. What we are discussing is what the situation was for the average peasant. Do you really think medieval European villages were full of guys with 5 wives? This did not happen.

Edit: a good book on this is Laslett's "The World We Have Lost", see e.g.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1362413/Peter-La...

I'm pretty sure that the pattern in the Roman world was also very much 1 man + 1 woman. I'm pretty sure this is the default in Hinduism too, pretty strongly. (Again, with odd exceptions for the very powerful, who don't matter for the data.) And, as I said, the genetic data on effective male + female population sizes has a dramatic dip in it, around 10K years ago -- this dip ends, I forget maybe 2K years later, not in Queen Victoria's reign.

Whether religion caused this monogamy seems like a confusing question. But somehow societies decided that this was something they wished to enforce, and moral enforcement tended to be the job of the priest. So no, this is not WTF material.

That's a very broad statement. Owning vs renting is dependent entirely on the local market. It hasn't been a good time to own in Detroit for a long time. It hasn't been a good time to rent in San Francisco in a long time.
They were already using a third party service. It was slow and opaque, so they ditched it.

At the scale of reddit, and because this is how they make their money, this is clearly something they want in house and something it would be a competitive advantage to control, if nothing else it gives them a much clearer conduit to their advertisers, and much greater control over things like ad selection.

It's not a craft, in its purest form it's an engineering discipline with specific rules, procedures and standards.

The crucial point is that most of us a doing programming, and not software engineering. Learning from others is hit or miss. One can certainly learn to program from others, but that's not enough to be able to do software engineering.
I fear he already has done permanent damage. We in the US will need to work hard to repair the damage done.
I advertised on reddit for our startup roughly one year ago and it was the worst ad management experience I have ever witnessed. For the size and age of reddit the advertiser backend was a real shame. The kind invoices they provide you is laughable, it feels like the whole backend was built by amateurs.

On top of that, the traffic we received from reddit was very bad for our e-sports/gaming-related website.
Judging from the types of screenshots Reddit users post, they're probably using the app, not a browser on their PC with an ad blocker.
