This is a great attitude, but it doesn't change the fact that discrimination exists and hurts real people in a very real way.

No matter how skilled and engaged you are, there are plenty of places that will do their best to eliminate you from any hiring process before you even get to the onsite, and they will make absolutely sure you will not pass the onsite if you somehow get there despite their best efforts.

I'm thankfully not at that stage in my career yet, but I've seen hiring managers casually tossing excellent resumes just because the bachelor's graduation year implied the candidate was "too old".

No. I don't believe that. I believe that states, not the federal government, are the ones allowed to make those decisions according to the Constitution.

However the weights and measures stuff makes sense and is something I completely overlooked.
Because in many places, standard time is the exceptional case. In the US, at least, we spend almost twice as much of the year in daylight saving time than in standard time. For example, standard time during the 2017 to 2018 winter lasted 127 days. Daylight saving time this spring through fall lasts 238 days.
Is chip and pin ubiquitous in Australia? That would lower fraud rates. Also, the EU has a 0.3% cap on interchange. Average in US is 2%. My guess is Australia has a cap as well. So the answer is, lobbying.
He's right, it's FUD. Studies [1] show that protein consumption goes down over the course of fasting, and that only makes sense. To borrow an analogy from [1] if your body is storing up energy for a rainy day like logs for a fire, when the power goes out are you going to chop up your axe and couch for firewood? Of course not, that's insane.

Evolutionarily, it makes the most sense to conserve your muscle so you can hunt down and kill food, not waste away into a fatty blob and make it a few extra days until what, someone finds you? That's why your body's HGH production spikes to hundreds of percent of baseline, to conserve your muscles.

Protein is always consumed as muscles turn over, but most tissues in your body can consume glucose OR ketones -- even your brain can switch over to consuming ketones as its primary source of energy. The remaining glucose requirements are met via gluconeogenesis, from multiple sources, including the glycerol backbone of triglycerides. However, there's plenty of non-muscle sources of protein in your body too and they are most definitely consumed as part of autophagy.

It's been said before but needs to be said again: this is happening everywhere in the biomedical and related fields. The neurosciences, oncology... the list goes on and on. Anyone take a look at AI research lately? How much tweaking is going on there? How much is your big data finding due to the idiosyncracies of your particular dataset?

Psychology, as has historically always been the case--meta-analysis itself bloomed largely from the field--is the one turning inward and looking at itself. And it's getting crap from people who love to use it as their favorite punching bag.

The irony of this article is that it's psychologists looking at other psychologists, doing the math etc.

The truth is closer to the second hypothesis by the author: bullshit is incentivized everywhere in academics. Reality is less interesting, harder, more incremental. Everyone wants the next genius savior to point to because it's a simpler story than reality. Sexy means more pubs, more grant money.

> A centrally planned economy is where a single central authority determines how investment and capital will be allocated.

I think you might be getting too semantic here. If you looked up the definition of a centrally-planned economy in an academic economics book, that might be what you get.

When the Fed or any central bank lets one institution fail, saves another, buys more or less government debt, purchases mortgage-backed securities, or any other security, I don't see how you could not call that central planning, investment, or capital allocation.
While probably true, "then don't do that" almost never works as an excuse to convince new adopters of your technology.

No doubt about it. An effect of the behavior set I describe above [and I was only describing them -- I've been on both ends of that phone call over the years] is that in these relationships, the established payment terms are kind of irrelevant to the way things actually play out.
This is what bothers me about many business books. It’s easy to look at the winners and say, in hindsight, that the key to their success was X, then find a few failures and, again in hindsight, say they failed because they didn’t have X. See: “Good to Great.” I’ll be impressed when any of these experts could predict the winners and losers in advance.

20,000 years is way off. Here's a report by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) [1]. The main radio-isotopes after the Chernobyl disaster were (see p. 2):

"The total release of radioactive substances was about 14 EBq1 (as of 26 April 1986), which included 1.8 EBq of 131I, 0.085 EBq of 137Cs and other caesium radioisotopes, 0.01EBq of 90Sr and 0.003 EBq of plutonium radioisotopes. The noble gases contributed about 50% of the total release of radioactivity."

Iodine-131 has a half-life of only 8 days, and it cleared up long ago. The only going concern is Caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, and needs 300 years to go to 1/1000 of the initial levels and 600 years to all but disappear. The other radioisotopes were contained to the location of the reactor. The only one that will be there for millenia is a decay product of Pu-241, namely Am-241 with a half-life of 430 years. However, as stated before, that is localized to the nuclear reactor itself. It will reach a maximum about 100 years after the event (so about 70 years from now).

I used to think that offering a 10% discount on invoice to clients for payments within NET30 would motivate them to pay early, but very few clients, specially those complaining about expenses ever made good use of that.

Has this been your experience as well?

... and do you "outsource" your AR for a % of your invoices?

I really don't think we even think about it that much. We have terms in our contract, and we send emails when payment is due, but it's not like we'd ever flip out if someone was late.

You can try setting late payment penalties, but my experience has been that client procurement and legal people get those stripped off routinely.

At Matasano, I remember one of our anchor customers taking something close to a year to pay an invoice.
Ya, depending on your type of business, you really may not need any fraud tools at all. I deal in b2b SaaS.

Coding Is Dead, Long Live Coding
As a consultant I state that I will charge a 10% late fee for every week a payment is late. I’ve never had a late payment. I’d say offering a discount does the exact opposite.
You are getting me really curious now.

I have tackled this issue (late payers) in two ways:

1. My cashflow from other investments ensure I did not run out of money. This is a bad design where I am effectively extending a 0% APR loan to the client with a term of their choosing

2. When I have ARs large enough to entice "parties that handle payments", I choose to let them handle the invoices on my behalf for a cut. A pretty large cut but 80% is better than 0%.

I am effectively looking for a way to optimize the later but happy to hear alternative solutions, specially when the ARs are not large enough to outsource.

For a bootstrapped business, this cashflow can be critical.
I hadn't seen that. I'll need to look into things more after reading this: http://vpnscam.com/tesonet-data-mining-company-owns-nordvpn-...
For me:

- I didn't work hard enough.

- I didn't have any previous success or experience.

- I was starting it in a second language I didn't speak well enough.

- I was on my own and had no one to turn to for emotional support.

It's all too easy to read the startup blogs and think "Gee, I should be doing that!" but when the rubber hits the road it's much more difficult than I ever imagined. Lesson learned.

(I work in the corporate travel industry, not for Airbnb)

It's definitely not a big thing in business travel yet, but at least part of that is because business travel is a slow market to change (partly because of expense integrations, private rate deals, duty of care, etc.) That said, Airbnb is actively trying to build out their business travel group and in theory are signing up customers. It wasn't clear to me how much of that was marketing vapor.

My general feeling is that they'll eventually be able to capture a small chunk of that market, although not as high a percentage as they will in leisure. Mostly because I don't think they can get the amount of reliable inventory that a large portion of business travelers will want. I've done more than my share of working from AirBnb/guest house/hotel, but if I actually have critical business travel, I'm taking the 1000 room Hilton over any AirBnb.
Yeah, sorry bud, you're just not in the right on this one. Your body always turns over muscle, sure, so some is going to be consumed. Your body produces huge quantities of HGH during starvation specifically to conserve protein and protein consumption goes down during fasting compared to steady-state. Otherwise our ancestors in periods of famine would turn into fatty puddles unable to drag themselves around. Starving means you need to get food, that's why noradrenaline levels go up, HGH production spikes (which many studies show changes your body composition to favor muscle over fat), your body switches to consuming primarily fat, and yes, some protein but not all protein is muscle. Your body also switches to producing what little glucose it actually needs via gluconeogenesis - which has many feedstocks including the glycerol backbones from triglycerides and yes, protein.

But to say your body prefers to burn muscle over fat when starving is ridiculous, and just not supported by facts.

Trump Announces New Tariffs on Chinese Imports
Don't try to approach the law axiomatically like that. You won't get anywhere. In this case, you have it backwards: the law doesn't start with a definition of "public place" and then attach conditions to it, but rather starts with conditions ("you can't lasciviously expose yourself in public") to which specific definitions of the word public space are attached.

It does not therefore make sense to reason from "indecent exposure is illegal in a grocery store" to "here is a set of claims I can make on a grocery store as a public space".
This is truly inspiring and I am so happy to witness something like this happen in my lifetime.
Not sure if you have read the article, but it's actually about a company called WaveSense who claims to have developed ground-penetrating radar that can greatly improve all weather autonomous driving. So yes, it's a daunting task but lot of people are working on it and progress is being made. I'd be interested to hear your counterargument.
I find the passion on this topic really weird. Yes, it's a minor annoyance twice a year. On the scale of annoyances I have to deal with, it doesn't rate in the top thousand. The traffic every single day, the late trains, random bad weather when I'm not expecting it.... are all significantly more annoying.

And for the price of that inconvenience I get an extra hour after work where I can enjoy the outdoors during summer for a whole 6 months of the year. Gardening, dining outside, going for walks, playing sport etc.

I can get people find it a little annoying and even disagree with it ... but I am perplexed by how passionate people seem to be about it.
Having lived in Japan that doesn't use DST, it really sucks. In the summer, it starts getting light just after 4am but then it's dark by 7:30pm. The daylight time is wasted.
Sounds about right. If the founder was a good friend of mine, I would just screen devs for free. If it was a friend-of-a-friend type situation, I would bill my normal hourly rate (I am a contractor).
That is absolutely not true. How do you plan to get food when you have the same amount of fat, and way less muscle to drag it around with? You'd be a blobby puddle until someone came to save you. That's not realistic, we'd all be so dead.
In theory if you call map again with an identical function it should still fall inside the original trace. Tracing JITs effectively inline all function calls that happen inside the trace so if two functions contain the same body they would be indistinguishable.

But there are all sorts of reasons why this might not be happening in that bug report I linked to. It might be due to the definition of the map and reduce functions (luafun adds lots of features to them, so its not just a simple straightforward loop) or it could be due to something about luajit (it is a complex piece of software after all).

The only way to know for sure would be to examine the traces with "luajit -jdump"

My first startup failed because I had no idea what I was doing. I started an online vacation rental site, similar to vacationrentals.com vrbo, homeaway etc... I was getting traction and had people list their rentals on my site but I failed to collect any revenue. The thought was, build it, offer it for free to grow it and then charge. Well, I built it (wasting way too much money on an original solution when existing solutions could have done just fine), people came (after I bent over backwards trying to onboard them), but time sucked me dry and I was not able to sustain the "business" any longer. Looking back, I did just about everything wrong.
Clients past a certain size just "forget" about the late payment penalties in my experience, which is why I offer a "on time" payment discount.

I tried both methods and clients would rarely pay the premium compared to those who would avail of the "on time" payment discount.

I have less happier clients when I make them pay a fee than when I take away a discount although mathematically they are the same number.
You're very clever, young man, very clever. But it's bottlenecks all the way down!
You're gonna need to cite some sources. Our side has studies to show you're wrong, and so far you've got nothing but your anecdotes.
