Indeed. It is not easy to always distinguish what is due to obstacle and what is due to preference.

However if we say that any difference from equal representation is due to obstacle then in reality we will introduce new obstacles in order to get a end result that is different from preferences.

There is no silver bullet here. The obstacles must be found and torn down individually. Making obstacles elsewhere will just make things worse for everyone involved.

I contribute sometimes to fix some bugs. In your opinion I should be forced to learn graphics/OpenGL to contribute to KWin, or design to submit themes because some dude does not likes the corner radius of a button or implement features that I do not need but some entitled person wants and I should spend my free time implementing that while he is playing some video game.

Open source does not work like that, if a company wants something it will pay a full time developer to implement it, if a user wants something he needs to implement it or find someone to implement it, this may mean you may want to pay someone or convince a maintainer to implement it.

What KDE needs is a billionaire to hire a few developers to go trough the bug tracker and fix some bugs.
>Why? firstly HTML/JS is a very slow presentation layer compared to native, which means less battery. You still can't multithread, so any heavy lifting is serverside, which means latency in anything other then decent bandwidth areas (so no travelling for you....)

This was the case a decade ago, but not anymore.
I have been writing medium complex web apps using Angular/React, Web-workers and RxJS which runs on mobile (Android 4.4+ and iOS 9+) from last 4 years with no extra battery draining side effects and native (like) look and feel. You just need to choose write framework and responsive design UI guidelines. Today most frameworks provides it out of the box. JS, DOM and CSS engines in mainstream browsers are getting more and more performant.

Yeah, well thanks for stating the obvious...

When you have kids you come very quickly to the realization that rewards aren't a mean to efficiently motivate. However intrisic motivation is exaclty this: intrinsic.

So what? Unless you can do Inception in your kids dreams to push them to realise that what you ask them is not what you want but what's actually good for them, you're bond to use rewards because that's the only thing that actually works.

Intrinsic motivation comes from the realization that you must do something for good (your own or others, but in the end it's only for you... but that's another ethical topic).

So it seems the crux of the matter is how we regard the process of a person making a decision.

A compatibilist would say that for the purposes of discussion we describe this event as the exercising of will, even though from a physics perspective the outcome could be predetermined.

Is that correct?

If so that seems similar to a recent discussion on Bohr's view of the irreducibility of biology to physics.

> I never expected that swearing would be man-repellent nor was told anything of the sort.

It's not just me. It's unusual to see a couple where one swears and the other doesn't. Swearing will also exclude one from various social, business, and political circles, and they'll never tell you why. They may not even consciously know themselves.
Some people just have an incredible memory. Enviable but not necessarily the brain's only killer app.
The learn more page is brilliant and insightful. I haven't heard the term "commemorative friends" before and I agree that this is a real problem with Facebook (they have many, but the bottom line is they just fucked up the signal to noise ratio in order to make an extra buck, and they're on the defensive because of it now).

So I agree there's a real problem here that needs solving (help me nurture the relationships that really matter, protect me from attempts to distract me while I do this). But I wouldn't install an app for it under any circumstances, my engagement with the brand ends immediately when I realize that has to happen. The industry has simply betrayed our trust too many times. It doesn't help that most people already have too many apps on their phone and are trying to cut those down a bit. This is a challenge for newcomers I know but it's real.

Maybe do a web version and make it feel more like a personal productivity tool than a social network. I don't mean make it about being productive, but social media has such a stink at this point and is so synonymous with "creep garbage into my life after hitting critical mass" that I would try a different positioning.
For me it’s been experimental so far. I’ve not actually used Redux in these experiments, but I’m inspired by where Redux and Re-reselect has been leading me for the past two years or so. The pattern is a gold mine of interesting implications that I’m still discovering, such as real time collaboration, and speculative precomputation/prefetching.

As it moves all the focus from reducers to selectors, and has quite different requirements for how to do caching there, it’s led me to work on a custom selector library with quite different API from reselect/re-reselect. I’d like to release it when my experiments start to feel... less experimental.
This is long time ago. I may not be bound by any NDA but I am still bound by my word. But I am sure any guy with a biotech background would get some ideas.

The study looked at differences in personalities via interviews of men and women, not at the types of choices they made.

So, for example, in more equal countries there is a higher gender difference in trust and altruism than in less equal countries.

For the countries, they categorised them on a few factors: "we created a Gender
Equality Index as a joint measure of four indices
of gender equality: (i) the Global Gender Gap
Index of the World Economic Forum (WEF), (ii)
the Gender Equality Index of the United Nations
(UN), (iii) the ratio of female to male labor force
participation rates, and (iv) the number of years
since women’s suffrage."

I didn't know the framework, I seriously hoped it included actual pandas.
I don't really agree with this position. I have friends at Big4, a lot in Facebook. I wouldn't say they are the type to know what palindromic primes are. When I interviewed there I didn't get any questions that required decent algorithmic skills.
Sounds like a clever, witty, and charming guy. Would be very interesting to talk to him; I like his style of talking.
Curiously ironic that he cites a consensus in personal belief in atheism and agnostics among philosophers (at least, modern philosophers, most philosophers in history believed in God..) as a good reason for philosophy not accepting the existence of God, which appears to be a popularity contest (and echo-chamber), then later in discussing a scientific belief says "This I do believe, but have no proof." Sounds like some faith to me... (and I agree that there is probably a surprisingly simple and elegant theory underlying all of physics, based on what I understand and see of the universe) Of course, I've found that most atheists tend to have faith in science without actually understanding science (though plenty do understand the science) and have some personal, emotional reason for not believing in God rather than a well-thought out chain of reasoning; but most people believe things for personal and emotional reasons, so it isn't surprising. It is always a bit humorous to ask them why they believe in science or what it is they believe and get back answers based on a fanatical devotion to, and blind trust in, the priesthood of "pseudo-"scientists like Dawkins, who makes all sorts of unsupported meta-physical claims in his books. I would always encourage atheists to investigating with an open mind, and to learn more about their system of beliefs, and more about logic. They should do what they believe is correct, and should always seek the truth, but be open to discovery of truth even when they may not like it. Most real scientists have a healthy skepticism towards the correctness of at least part of their own theories.

Personally I would argue that we descriptively have different definitions of free before a choice and after.

Because the future has not yet happened, all possible future choices are indeed free in a sense, even if one of them is predetermined.

When we look back, I think we tend to think of free in a different way, that is, given that a choice has already been made, we can now say that it was the only choice that could have happened and did (determinism or not, I think we often tend to think this way in ordinary life).

When we judge moral responsibility, we tend to think of the actor in that moment of making the choice. At that moment the choice was still "free", because the future had not yet happened, and so we ascribe moral responsibility to these actions.
Hell yes. I've been a gmail user for 15 years and I can't use gmail in my browser anymore.

> Hasn’t quantum mechanics demolished the hope that science will make reality intelligible?

> Not in the least. As Bell said, study Bohm’s pilot wave theory and you see that everything can be explained perfectly well, with no funny business at all logically or conceptually. We are stuck with non-locality, as Bell proved, but maybe in the end you need non-locality for the deep simplicity of law that I anticipate.

I'm not a physicist, but isn't dumping locality a bit of a bigger deal than this quote suggests?

First you think and imagine
(philosophy)

I'd suggest that's not a good characterisation of philosophy, because according to that characterisation, everybody is a philosopher and doing philosophy all the time.
That definition is not specific enough to do the question discussed in the article justice.

The article defends (whether successful or not I'll leave open) philosophy against the common charge of not having progressed much recently, Whitehead's famous The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato being perhaps the most popular form this criticism takes (whether that does Whitehead justice is another question I'd like to leave open here).

Here is a definition of philosophy that is much closer to the concept of philosophy the article defends: philosophy is what academics who work in philosophy departments do.

philosophy leads to science

I make a strong counterclaim: all progress in philosophy comes from progress in the hard sciences. As examples for my claim I put forward: quantum mechanics, general relativity, non-euclidean geometry, set theory and type theory as foundations of mathematics, Goede's incompleteness theorems, theory of (economic) games (leading to the first substantial progress in moral philosophy since Kant), AI/ML.

Do you remember his quote: "

“Credit expansion can bring about a temporary boom. But such a fictitious prosperity must end in a general depression of trade, a slump.” — Ludwig von Mises

Wow. Look who is talking. A master or an idiot? You never know. Out of curiosity, can you show me an economic boom that does NOT come with a credit expansion? The sentence is a tautology. Meaningless. "The Banana is big but it's shell is bigger". Wow.

- Checks out author before reading the article

- Author tweets retarded shit such as "black women matter" like that isn't already obvious to anyone.

- Questioning if i should still read the article because there's no sign that it will make me smarter what so ever.

- Reads article anyway.. Well that was kinda pointless. I don't even want to work at google... >_<
Thanks for sharing this, it looks very nice and polished!
So is it the case that the compatibilist imagines three possible classes of decision.

1) Where the decision is coerced.

2) Where the decision is not coerced and so ostensibly 'free' but determined by external factors (ie. the laws of Physics).

3) Where the decision is genuinely 'free', thus violating the laws of Physics as we know them.

Compatibilists would reject 3) but would describe 2) as the exercising of 'free will'.

Is that correct?

I was even more stunned when I bought a Surface Book 2 directly from Microsoft for over £3000 running Windows 10 'Professional' and the first thing I see after booting it up is Candy Crush, TripAdvisor, Twitter and Minecraft on my start menu.

I would guess that quote is Nietzsche attacking one of the most famous first principles in Western philosophy, Descartes' "I think, therefore I am." "I think" is too complex to be accepted a priori for him, he's not discounting definitions completely.
Noticed that too. Even with a powerful computer. The tags also take times to be automatically by associated to email you've just sent.
Perhaps I'm inclined to read it that way from working in physics, which is divided into theory and experiment. He also refers to 'experimentalists' in the preceding sentence, which adds to the effect.

Also if you take the fully general meaning, it's so vague I don't understand how it's something you can 'love', but then maybe that's why I'm not a Philosopher.

Edit: The author's work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Maudlin is all on the Theoretical Physics / Philosophy boarder, in which "theory" vs "experiment" is the more common usage.

Any 'experiment' of this sort that isn't double-blinded and controlled is not worth doing, and shouldn't even be considered news.

> We strive to lead the business with our output rather than to inform it

I think the business hires data scientist to be informed. Not to make business decisions on their behalf.

> Data scientists love working on problems that are vertically aligned with the business and make a big impact on the success of projects/organization through their efforts. They set out to optimize a certain thing or process or create something from scratch. These are point-oriented problems and their solutions tend to be as well. They usually involve a heavy mix of business logic, reimagining of how things are done, and a healthy dose of creativity

Again, I'm confused? That sounds like the data scientists should have majored in business then. If data scientists start doing that, what will all the other business folk do then?

Data scientists should just build out reports that provide valuable insights and potential patterns that can help make business decisions. The difference with prior reports engineer or data analysts or wtv, is that a data scientist is assumed to be able to generate statistical analysis or/and pattern analysis over the data. While prior, a data analyst only needed to perform basic versions of that which did not go beyond what SQL could do.

The data engineer should enable the data scientist to perform this analysis by both working with the software engineers to acquire it safely, securely, reliably and at scale. And working witj the data scientist in order to apply his statistical analysis efficiently and at scale to a possibly very large data set. Finally, he might need to work with both software engineer and data scientist to setup real time or close to real time versions of the analysis.

All result from the analysis should be presented (aka reported) to the business. The data scientist can suggest interpretations or ideas to address findings, but it's the business role to make tactical and strategic decisions about business processes and products.

And if you're doing ML as part of a process, then you need a ML scientists. Say you need to build out voice recognition, or the likes. Basically comp sci or math majors with ML masters or PHDs.
Seems to me like there's a growing backlash against the outrage culture that started halfway this decade. I hope it lasts and we can return to normalcy.
> Your interviewers try to understand what it feels like to work with you on a daily basis.

I conducted dozens of interviews at my last place. If the goal is to identify jerks then in my experience it is best to create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere during the interview. Simply because people of such personality will confuse friendliness for weakness and start to complain and argue about questions or even mild non-positive feedback. Cool people on the other hand will be able to open up and show their skills more easily.

90% of apps just deliver information and work just fine (or better) on the web, at least for me. Nobody needs a reddit app or a Medium app, even though those companies try to convince you otherwise.

Yeah, I'll download an app for Uber or Southwest airlines or Airbnb because their two-way information requirements work better as apps. But I won't clutter up my phone with things that work just fine in a browser, which is most of what I need. I don't play games, so maybe I'm not most people.

Does Guix let you write interactive programs in Scheme as part of the system configuration? For example, defining a systemd service that uses Guile libraries and so on, as a subexpression of your OS configuration file? While also referring to shared variables like the system's hostname, etc?

I skimmed the paper on "Code Staging in Guix" and I think this should be very doable, but I haven't yet tried Guix for real.

This ability seems like it would have huge implications for system development... I've dabbled with such experiments using Nix, but the lack of hygienic code staging makes it a bit icky.

Currently, for "hybrid" journals, the researcher must pay a publishing fee, typically on the order of $2000-$3000. I have an independent postdoctoral fellowship, which means I have some funding, but not enough for it to make sense to pay. These fees essentially lock me out of open access publishing.

Of course, I could simply choose to publish only in open access journals (running the risk of career consequences). I hope changes like this will lead to increasingly prestigious fully open access journals. However, I have found the most practical option to be posting my papers on arXiv.

You are right of course, generally they don’t but at least one philosoper I know of wrote a dictionary: https://history.hanover.edu/texts/voltaire/volindex.html

But I think definitions are in the foundation of philosophy because if philosophers argue with badly defined or undefined words, the discussion turns into a discussion to assert academic authority. In this case, definitions of words are not explicit but implicit. I think this is what most people think philosophy is, ie sophistry. In computer languages I cannot use an undefined word. I would get an error message. It would be nice to institute a similar mechanism in philosophical discussions too.
