That’s the worst possible example, because they truly don’t make cultural products like movies and music almost anywhere but Los Angeles.

If it was about market forces, writers would get paid a bajillion times more. On the contrary, they’re paid terribly, relative to the value their product provides. Same with visual effects artists, just not as bad.

Or music: an ecosystem unmatched anywhere but in LA. Even all those Swedish pop artists wind up there.

Before you google counterexamples, just ask someone who actually works in film or music. You can’t just throw money at “it.” What seems to make good writers and musicians concentrate in LA doesn’t seem to be 100% governed by conventional market forces.

Yes, it’s been difficult to replicate Hollywood! I think experiments with subsidies like for VFX in Vancouver, documentaries in Massachusetts and everything in Savannah, Georgia are interesting and nurture communities at different rates of success.

In contrast, Wisconsin gives a $3 billion handout to Foxconn, Wisconsin gets a Foxconn factory. Because it will save money, things adjacent to the plant will be built.

Writers cost nothing! There’s no money to save by locating them in LA, the savings on airfare and lodging and communications for a literal single human being is de minimus compared to the budget of a feature film.

The scary thing about Shenzhen is all the applause for abstract things like skilled workforces and no appreciation for how different that “IP” is in comparison to e.g. Disney IP, like Mickey Mouse. They are not at all the same knowledge economies, electrical engineering and films.

They refused to replace my 6S battery unless I paid $150 to replace the screen (there was a crack outside of the main display).

Amazon sells a bunch of self-install battery kits for ~$21, which has a same-or-higher capacity battery, including the tooling.

It was very easy to do the self-install, and my 6S is just really snappy. This was only on iOS 11 too. Excited for iOS 12.

I wonder, when/if autonomous taxis come about will the whole attitude of catering to cars over than pedestrians will cease.

If people don't have cars, parking won't be a problem, and walking from one store to another rather than paying for a taxi would become preferable. Then more people would have the awful experience of walking half a mile through a giant paved parking lot which would motivate people to change it.

I was maybe 10 or younger and I was speedbombing downhill with my younger sister. We were fearless and very, very fast. Of course we weren't wearing any helmet or whatever. One time as we were racing, she was winning, she shifted her bike toward my direction and slowed down. I ran into her bike and flew out of my bike. Next thing I know I'm in the air, falling down towards the hill. When I finally hit the ground, I uncontrollably rolled downhill another maybe 10 meters. All my face and body was covered in blood and soil. My mom, seeing this incident from far away, ran for help. She told me, when I grew up, that when she was close enough to see me she was sure I was dead because of all the blood on the asphalt and what not. But thanks to the gods of probability, I didn't even break a bone. I don't understand how can human body can be so resilient that a 10 year old kid can survive such an accident without any damage other than his skin (and it wasn't permenant, I forgot about this event until now). I was stupid and I probably did that again and again, possibly even the next day. Now 15 years later, I bike everyday, but I bike very cautiously. I was lucky once, I don't wanna try my luck again.
Unfortunately with mathematicians and scientists the term "paper" is overloaded because they write academic papers, which leads to ambiguity.
You shouldn’t push for the same human interface on different platforms, they all have their own conventions that applications need to fit.

At least back in the 1980s and 1990s, cross-platform toolkits tried to look native everywhere, and that’s why.
That article actually says that the average time for women is faster than the average time for men and that the fastest male times are still much faster than the fastest female times. The hypotheses they propose for the difference are either selection bias due to differing participation levels or possibly body fat percentage difference leading to greater bouyancy which specifically helps in swimming.

One thing I've been missing in starting with Rust, is a basic GUI library. Conrod looks promising, but the apparent lack of documentation, coupled with being very new to the language, makes for a very steep learning curve.

I was working at a mom and pop shop, and we used a saas web application for managing online shipping. For funzies I cobbled together some python that would poll a usb scale upon http request which would get called from a button on the web app injected by a greasemonkey script and fill out the lb and oz fields with the weight.

When I got it working I was so excited that I immediately opened up their live chat and asked support if it'd be something they were interested in. They were a small operation and it ended up being the businesses owner who was on the other side. After a few emails back and forth we agreed on $3500 (plus our shop would get to use their app for free) in exchange for windows and mac versions of the code.

Oh man, now was I really excited. $3.5k for a couple weekends of work, I've hit the big time!

Later they sold to stamps.com for $50 million. I've since learned to charge more and to better estimate my time.
Most people are busy, short of sleep, etc. They honestly don't remember every little conversation they had.

If you have a good memory for such things, you will routinely feel like people are liars who don't keep their word etc.

I did some volunteer work with a gifted organization and homeschooled my gifted kids. People with good memories often get bent out of shape feeling like other people are lying to them, jerking them around etc when the truth is the other person just doesn't remember the conversation, doesn't remember making a promise, etc.

Put it in writing if you feel you need credit. Don't count on people to remember every little thing or to be perfect about giving credit.
I feel like you are roughly describing research programmers versus system administrators or operators in academic computing environments.

I think a big difference between research programmers and production/ops people is that as researchers we often chase a transient goal. Build some complex and horrible integration to compute a result or put something in a paper. We used to call these Rube Goldberg machines rather than Lovecraftian horrors, but we mean the same thing. Something that belongs on a movie set, with some Jacobs ladders arcing in the background. In some circles, it is called the heroic demo.

In the past, we might substitute other fads for your CI tooling or API validation tools. I remember when some research programmers were all-in on enterprise junk like J2EE/managed code, SOAP/WSDL, and other stovepipe tooling. There is a lot of cargo culting of such tools. When you have furnished your lab with rapid prototyping tools and focused on crazy integration stunts, you are almost always deluding yourself to think these tools are also giving you "production" system qualities.

Building something at the hairy edge of possibility is inherently about experimentation and risk-taking. Building reliable, production operations is inherently about conservative design and risk-mitigation. There seems to be a new cargo cult of devops which believes you somehow mash these together and the conflict disappears. You don't have to have to map the negotiation onto two teams with opposing objectives, but the negotiation has to live somewhere.

Magically erasing the negotiation just means that you have chosen to default on the optimization task and jettison concern for at least one of functionality, cost, or risk. Startups commonly do this because the VC funding has mitigated the risk elsewhere: you can fail because they've also funded your competitor who may succeed...
The Bolt and the Leaf has less production issue because they are far smaller production numbers. Also, we don't have close to as much news about problems in their plants.

Guess why you don't know about them, because they don't sell well or are delayed.

Tesla will always have production issue because they are always trying to grow. Every large company has production issues. The question is how much product can you produce at what price.
Ask if they'll let you send text and zip files as attachments instead. You just save the file, use the encrypt file option, an encrypted file is generated, and attach that to the email. The receiver does gpg -d (file). It's how I use it. Let's me ignore most of GPG complexity and its potential risks. Also, I use zip with obscure names to hide content type.

Just make extra, extra sure you click the encrypted file in attach dialog, not original. It can help to put them in different directories.

> The point here is that we have no idea how to make a school good, other than by kicking out bad students

I would disagree with any metric claiming to measure school quality that is not constant when the demographics of the school change. If our metrics simply gauge the socioeconomic status of a school's population, we need better metrics. We also need to develop interventions that overcome the educational costs of poverty, perhaps, dare I say, by eliminating--or at least attenuating--poverty.

More simply, it's a ratio of ~26.7:1 --- the wheel turns approximately 26.7 times for each turn of the crank.

Using some of the other numbers mentioned here, we can calculate that at her top speed of 296km/h she was pedaling at ~126RPM, and the wheels of the bike spinning at ~3377RPM.

If we knew the torque, or alternately the "stroke" of the crank and the average force she was exerting, we would also be able to find out her power output in W or HP.

Edit: some searching around reveals that 120-130RPM is usually where peak power is for cyclists, which corresponds with roughly where she was at top speed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17562069

...and it makes me wonder if she had another gear, would she be able to keep accelerating beyond that. She would've probably been producing 1-2HP at that speed.
Not roughly preserving meaning—entirely preserving meaning. "Amount of meaning preserved" is quantifiable too!

For the non-student-generated texts, create a set of reading-comprehension test questions based on the text. Then, after everyone has written their condensed versions of the text, make five copies of each condensed text and hand it to five students in a separate class (who were assigned a different work to condense), along with the reading-comprehension test. The measure of meaning-preservation is how well they're able to answer the questions about the unabridged work, while referring only to on the other student's distillation of the work.

Your points make no sense. Civil war, countries breaking up etc. almost always happen only when people's basic needs (food, water, clothing, heat, electricity) are not being met. Even during its lost decade, Japan has been a top 25 country by per-capita income.

This is the problem when a note-taking app tries to make it ‘big’. A good note-taking app can be a niche business. But when you raise hundreds of millions of dollars, there is pressure and you are forced to make unnatural decisions to show growth.

Also, note-taking apps are part of a suite. See Apple, Microsoft, Google, Zoho (disclosure: I am with Zoho and we compete in note-taking space with Zoho Notebook). It is a challenge for any independent app provider to compete with a single app against suites in the long run. It’s surprising Evernote didn’t expand to other productivity apps beyond note-taking.

Banks can run on systems like NonStop we have gotten to five 9's reliability with components simple enough to formally verify. Most people's money doesn't get robbed. If they do, they can mitigate it with $50 max reporting it quickly. They can also stop payment if a provider screws them over. Their stored money is worth about same day 2 as it was day 1 since it's an actual currency aimed at stability. Compare that to cryptocurrencies with volatile value, inefficient systems, lower volume, more hacks, and more closed exchanges.

A public benefit or nonprofit setup for a bank with strict rules in a country with strict rules is way more trustworthy and efficient than the average cryptocurrency. The tech is also better since an ACID key-value store plus the kinds of credit and smartcards we already have is all you need for majority of activity. Stuff like FoundationDB hits ridiculously-high transactions-per-second with strong consistency. Banks already have lots of methods for catching fraud. A simple, online bank will have less go wrong technologically, legally, and so on since every part is field- and court-proven.
Except that’s not the gold standard.

They each have their specialty.

Evernote is better for filing documents / archiving things - whether those are PDFs, web pages, business cards, physical mail, etc. OneNote is better for free-form notetaking and editing. Each page feels like an open canvas.

In particular: I can't drop a file directly onto the OneNote icon to archive a file - I have to make a "page" and drop it into the page's canvas. OneNote doesn't provide tagging. It enforces a certain organization that only makes sense for notes (notebooks > sections > pages). Attachments always feel like a second-class citizen inside of a page (which isn't to say OneNote's attachment handling is wrong, it's just designed for storing handouts in class alongside your handwriting, as opposed to archiving every piece of paper on your desk).

In my use case, I use Evernote (with a ScanSnap scanner) to archive every piece of physical mail I receive. It's great that I can just throw in a pile of mail, push one button, let the scanner bundle it into PDFs/JPEGs/contact cards as appropriate, apply metatadata, and OCR/index it. I tried to move this workflow to OneNote, and couldn't get anything as smooth.

I use both. I use OneNote for notes in class, and Evernote for long-term archival/recall of everything else.

(Personally, I think that DevonThink is a closer replacement to Evernote than OneNote is.)
I share your surprise. The magic of Evernote when i used it was tagging. It’s a concept that could have made office suites or other productivity use cases better.
