Political Reality: Buy Ads on Facebook or Risk Losing the Election
> I don't think it's about luck. I think it's about supply and demand.

In a supply/demand imbalance situation, it very much is about luck for an individual. If for each open position there are 100 candidates, then whether or not you'll get that job is mostly a matter of luck (and to some degree contacts).

An extra problem here is that "luck" doesn't mean lottery. It also means making all the right choices for the past years, including back before you even figured out you're in competition for a position.
I have been a lunch buddy too, sure they can told u that it was not an interview but nothing in this world is ever black and white. The person I'm having lunch is probably will be my future coworker so if this person doing something stupid or something I don't like during the lunch, there is no guarantee I will not hinted it to the hiring manager later on.
Similar for me with Nest/Google. Got invited to an onsite and my recruiter went dark. This was after the screw ups with scheduling the for the multiple phone screens and online coding tests. What ended up happening was that I never got to the onsite because after I was invited and asked for times days and what city I would be flying out of for tickets I never got another reply and I tried to contact the recruiter multiple times after. Got nothing.
[Tutorial] How Naive Bayes Algorithm Works? (from Scratch with Full Code)
US built Merlins were made by Packard not Ford. The Ford factory in Manchester did make lots of Merlins too but they were to the Rolls-Royce design.

Wikipedia only lists the Merlin 32 as using a Coffman starter, as it went into naval aircraft maybe there was a requirement to be able to restart an engine in flight.
I have a model with two kinds of knowledge: sexy knowledge and homely knowledge. I think the internet and mass media era in general have massively endorsed and empowered the projects and acquisition of sexy knowledge. If it doesn't garner attention rapidly on a large scale, then it doesn't go on TV. The problem is that most of the real projects of science and industry are about homely knowledge. It's the little boring things like washing your hands that prevent catastrophic hospital deaths. But that's not superficially interesting, or fun, and it doesn't provide the knowledge bearer with any kind of moral or intellectual superiority by which they can affect pretensions of enlightenment. Quackery has always been a thing, but I think sexy knowledge lies somewhere before the frontier of quackery. It's true, or plausibly true, information, but it is dramatically overvalued in our time and culture.
I've been looking for a solution like this for years and was ready to pull out my CC when I saw the $15, assuming a "/y". But I have to say, "/m", wow. Between that and "free", it's not really A/B, more like A/Z with a lot of letters in between.
I'm working on something in that area too.
Had they done that, it would have been fine.

It's bizarre that once it became clear that this was going to be a problem (when harddisks and directories were introduced, or with Win95, or XP at the latest), they didn't decide to deprecate the stupid way and push everybody to use the sensible way.

You may have to support both ways for a while, but once you start supporting stupid ideas like this out of a need for backwards compatibility, it should be obvious that it'll never go away unless you make it go away. Maybe allow old software to run in QDOS-compatibility mode or something. It's just insane that this is still a real limitation in Win10.
Knowing nothing of biology, I wonder what we can do about misfolded proteins?

Pirates usually do this, that's funny Google doesn't.

Pirates use cheap labor to solve the problem.

Google's approach (and Facebook and Twitter and...) is to see every problem as solvable through an algorithm.

Wow what an amazing list. It will still take many years to learn all this material, but I think that a dedicated student could follow it and physics up big time! My time estimate for someone with normal intelligence level (i.e. not genius), starting fro scratch and learning part-time, would be 2-3 years. It's totally worth it though for the analytical power that learning physics gives the learner.

Some notes/links below:

> Before you begin studying physics and working through the topics in the sections below, you have to be familiar with some basic mathematics.

That is very true and often a big obstacle for people who have been out of school for some time. Note it's not enough to just be familiar with the concepts—you must achieve fluency with the procedures so you can use them as building blocks for later studies. For example, it's not enough to just read about the quadratic formula (-b ± sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a) and use it a few times, spending 5 minutes each time to think about the steps, plugging in the vars, etc.

Because solving quadratic equations is used so much in math and physics, you have to package that procedure as a reusable routine that you don't think about anymore and you can apply almost without thinking, in under 30 seconds. This "fluency with the basics" will ensure you're not slowed down when you reach the more advanced topics where solving quadratic equations is used.... and there is only one way to build fluency...

> Regardless of your learning style, you'll still need to solve the physics problems in each textbook. Solving problems is the only way to really understand how the laws of physics work. There's no way around it.

This. A thousand times this. I wish someone told me that when I was studying. It may not be fun to get stuck, go down the wrong path, doubt your abilities and feel stupid along the way, but that's what growth looks like. If every time you read a solution to a problem provided by someone else you gain one "knowledge unit," then finding the solution on your own is > 10 knowledge units. Forget 10x engineer, be a 10x learner—solve some problems!

Shameless plug, I wrote a book called No Bullshit Guide to Math and Physics that covers these exact topics.

I had a similiar experience with one of the big four, they expected me to know KMP by heart, in initial coding interview (not on-site even)
I wish they would too. It'd certainly be interesting reading what goes in to other careers and what not.

Personally, I'd say the one for journalism would probably look a lot like the chef one. Many of the same beats would be hit there too:

1. You've (sometimes) got an expensive degree that costs more than you'll likely take home in wages. Though (presumably) like with a chef, it's technically a field you can do well in without a degree if your experience stacks up.

2. The internships and work experience you take on cost a fortune, since they're low/non paying positions in expensive locations, which likely work better for those with a trust fund or a decent amount of financial support from a partner or parent.

3. If you're not passionate about it, find something else because it's basically financial suicide.

4. Yet again, there's some skill/advantage you should have to do well. Not age/fitness, but influence/existing audience.

5. There's a decent amount of pressure too, with minimal benefits, low pay, awkward working hours, etc.

You could probably paraphrase the article and make it about the media industry without changing more than a paragraph or two. Same goes with game development, though that'd require a few more changes.

But yeah, it would be interesting to see articles like this for other industries.
How should digital nomads keep things safe? sharing lessons from getting robbed
As everything in life, freedom of working remotely often comes with a price of losing your precious data and electronic devices if you're not careful.

What are the precaution measures that you're taking to prevent or prepare yourself in case your things and data get stolen such as disk encryption, strong passwords, etc.?

I wrote an article sharing some of the lessons after getting computer stolen with all the data earlier this year:
http://blog.nightwatch.io/digital-nomad-safety

Would be very curious to hear your experience
I think this is still fair.

I mean when you study Physics you learn to use apparently confusing tools - theoretical or experimental - with confidence. Sometimes in areas that only few people find interesting/appealing, like for instance complex problems in classical mechanics or thermodynamics. Only 1% of the studies is about crazy, absolutely counter-intuitive stuff that sounds like Sci-Fi. But isn't that what differentiates the amateur from the Pro? ;)

I mean if people want to do actual Research Physics, they must either go to a University (offline or online) or be mega disciplined. In the latter case they need a few more books though/adjust them also to personal taste.
> If I could wave a magic wand and create 1,000,000 apartments in SF rent prices would drop.

Yeah but the problem is you can’t. Additional capacity always comes in onesie-twosie, not fast enough to outstrip the seemingly limitless demand to live in the area. Put up a couple thousand unit high rises? Big deal, won’t affect prices one bit, they’ll get snapped up before breaking ground. You really would have to build a million units all at once to do anything, and logistically you can’t.
Think of it another way: the locals overwhelmingly agreed to change the rules because they probably understood that while they could adapt to the rule, outsiders probably would not be as well-informed.

Someone making a right turn after hours paints themselves as a potential outsider who doesn’t know the rules and, given the location’s history, is probably there to solicit sex.

I like that the community was empowered to make this change.

If you evaluate companies by free cash flow, the numbers look even worse. Even if a company is not engaging in accounting tricks that make themselves look very profitable, what the paper margins say usually do not reflect the real cash remaining in the bank accounts.

Certainly this turns in to a double edged sword for a certain segment of wealthy people. They do all of these things to make themselves look like they have a tremendous amount of money yet they sit right on the brink of failure.

In reality, while the margins are slim, a company may be able adjust costs when mandated by law. Maybe restaurant portion sizes are way too large, maybe the quality or purity of raw materials is too high, maybe there are just too many employees. Some companies just have more room to do these things than others.
> the UB described here is the same in Rust

I don't think this is correct. Dividing by zero in Rust produces a panic, and panics are observable side effects that may not be reordered with other side effects. This is sometimes annoying, because it can prevent the compiler from eliminating bounds checks in some cases, but it avoids the problems mentioned in this article.
Oh yeah, I 100% agree.
Ah, I missed that part, that makes sense.
Late Stage Capitalism.
So, you want to be an embedded engineer (2006)
He didn't mention nepotism anywhere. All he said is that top performers know each other - which is completely normal - and that if you aim towards working with them, then your reputation is crucial - which is also completely normal. None of this isn't compatible with practical meritocracy. Sure, in a perfect meritocracy, you'd be able to input a request for a worker into a computer, and out would come a list of people ranked by aggregate cost-effectiveness. But we're nowhere near that in any industry. In an environment of imperfect and incomplete information, relying on reputation and recommendations from other high performers is a safer strategy than taking risks with random strangers.

As for his writing, I didn't find him sounding "like an a hole". To me, he sounds like a normal human being communicating honestly.
There was never any time. We're programmed like bacteria to expand and fill the available resources until either our consumption or our waste products kill us off. The only question was the speed and ugliness of it all. After agriculture, without population control, this whole shit became inevitable. Science? Education? Democracy? Capitalism? All just ingredients into making this global society capable of mass digestion. Chewing up the Earth and shitting it out.

And then they point to people like John Carmack and say I don't need college he didn't. But John Carmack obviously has taught himself more math than most know with degrees.
If it's helpful 8.5% of all L.A county residents have lived in the county less than a year which you can contrast that to the 7% of homeless that have been here less than a year.

And according to a UCLA study, "65% of unsheltered homeless individuals have lived in the county for more than 20 years." That means 35% have been here less than 20 years.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ucla-anderson-forecast...

And how many of the homeless were born in the county? I suspect it's a very low considering so many residents in the county of L.A. aren't native born.

There's a funny advertisement for the Grinch movie here in L.A. which rings true. The line says, something like, "My favorite time of year is Christmas, when everyone goes back to where they came from."
I'm not sure why you see that as irrational? If I had a genie that made sure whoever I voted for won I wouldn't really hesitate to use it. It would be silly of me to refuse.

The party in power is expected to lie cheat and steal to maintain their position and the opposition parties are supposed to keep them in check. Adversarial systems seem to work pretty well since the incentives align -- way better than I would expect an honor system to work at least.
Now, may I ask you to at least try to tell where exactly did I claim that. I know that e.g. accusing other people of rape without a reason is a cultural norm in some countries, but I'm not from there.

Uploaded a month or so ago, and never online before that. Appears people are just figuring out it's there.
Adding to what amelius said. The formal term for the algebraic system we are talking about is ring. We want to consider all the elements of the ring to be numbers since they are all part of the same algebraic system. Also, let’s broaden the perspective a bit and think about rational numbers. These include all integers and within the system of rational numbers every nonzero element is a unit. So 2 which is prime within the ring of integers is no longer prime within the ring of rational numbers. Every rational number is a multiple of 2 in the sense of

2*(a/2) = a

The notion of primality is not a property of a number it is a property of a number within the structure of a ring. We don’t want to think of units as not being numbers.

Also, the construction of natural numbers is such that 1 is the successor of 0. It just happens that when considering the operation of multiplication 1 is a unit but this is happenstance and not a reason to exclude 1 as a number. It’s worth noting that under addition 0 is a “unit” (really identity but plays additive role that 1 does under multiplication).
There are natural substances which promote transition to the benign form (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaperone_%28protein%29) so it must certainly be possible to work with. But I don't know to what extent humanity has developed drugs to affect it so far.
>Regardless of your learning style, you'll still need to solve the physics problems in each textbook. Solving problems is the only way to really understand how the laws of physics work. There's no way around it. Even though it can feel tedious at times, there's nothing more rewarding than figuring out a really difficult physics problem and realizing that you figured it all out yourself!

This is the only way. It's I how I moved from an EE undergrad to a theoretical physics PhD. As I come back to material it's a lesson I need to painfully relearn. (Something I re-re-re-learned in 2015 http://nbodyphysics.com/blog/2015/02/28/learn-physics-with-t...)
The problem is not of a technical nature, but of a political/social one.

> Depending on skills and technology, they are not scarce for a world population of 10 billion humans or they are scarce with a world population of 1 human.

This is very true. If organized properly we could very easily feed the 7.7 billion people that live on earth today. We could easily feed the 11 billion people that are expected to exist in about 50 years or so on earth. I do not doubt that the technological hurdles are gigantic, but the could be overcome.

Alas, I don't see that happening. Not because of the technological difficulty, but because of human stupidity or shortsightedness, our tribal instincts and the tendency towards reckless acquisition of resources that allowed our ancestors to become the dominant species on this planet in the first place.

You see, the problem is not our abilities to change the environment. The problem is our inability to change ourselves.

/If/ we all went vegan, /if/ we stopped needles, wasteful wars, /if/ we stopped consuming more than we need, /if/ ...

... then we could make it. But we don't change our behavior. We are still greedy little apes that are driven to resource acquisition to improve our social status in order to have higher reproductive success. We are reproduction machines, nothing that is changed by a few decades of wealth in some parts on earth.

It is this inability to overcome our biological imperatives that will doom us, because they prevent us from recognizing the foreigner as our sibling. And so we compete for resources, even though we've already so many resources that we die from over saturation.

So, unless all the peoples around the world start working together very soon to combat climate change, mitigate species and biomass loss, reduce the consumption of resources to a degree our planet can actually provide, I don't see how the human species will be able to survive.

It's not that we couldn't do it. It's that we're not willing to pay the cost in the /now/ to be able to survive in the /future/.
Ghost kitchens are an interesting play. I think they could have scale advantages as you need to build software systems to:

See demand in the market

Deliver customers

Pivot when demand changes

I think those are all systems that will be better at scale.

Actually creating food at scale is a known problem that has been done many times (McDonald's, Chipotle, etc). However, cloud kitchens are providing mass customization of restaurants, rather than stamping out the same (or very similar) franchises. That is going to be one of the more difficult parts.
