English has had one for a long time, “they”.

Elitist prescriptivists who wanted English to be Latin because of bizarre linguistic fashion tried to purge it, but never did from general use, and prescriptivism, especially on points that have never aligned with common usage,has fallen out of favor, so there is little reason not to use it now but adherence to a particularly archaic elitism.
There are people that are influential on yelp. I know people that get preferential treatment by the owners of higher end restaurants because their rating carries so much weight. It's pretty interesting. Tagging along with one guy we got to skip lines at special events, no wait times. The chef and owner would see him and greet him.

Quite the opposite.

Speaking anecdotally, up to around 2016 every other website used Bootstrap or Foundation, often with minimal customization, just because it looks and works well out of the box on all devices. Now it seems like it's getting better, but generic UI components are an extremely relevant aspect.

Promethease is a good example. Years later a bootstrap website signals to me "it's about the functionality, not the design". https://promethease.com/

Before that everything was jQuery UI. Government websites still use a ton of it. All of Colorado's web portals are built with it. And now things are shifting towards UI frameworks "plus more", like Ionic, which adds a bunch of design/devops workflow and cross platform functionality.
I wonder what percentage of the current population would be unable to attend school under your model. If you couldn’t get a loan, you couldn’t attend or you would have currency exchange level interest rates for the poor.

Other countries have a more socialized system and still maintain lower costs (same as healthcare). Maybe the problems actually lie elsewhere.

What do you mean by barely working (and as a corollary, does it even make sense for it to do more than that)? The spectrum of correctness seems quite limited; you said it yourself, software starts out not working, and then when it's correct, it works. It seems pretty binary to me. Do you mean that the software is brittle, doesn't handle edge cases, has bugs, etc? It seems to me that once software is correct, there's not much more to do in terms of working.
If you have to get a loan from a private company, and all of these students default, then the private company will not longer offer loans for education from the bad institution. If the college’s students can’t get loans, they either shutdown or charge tuition that can be paid out of pocket.

The root cause of the entire problem is outrageously large loans, provided by the government, that can never be discharged. Until we solve this problem, tuition rates will continue to rise inline with the maximum the government will allow.
Looks like enough people figured out Yelp was a computerized protection racket.
Good to know it generalized, but seems it's only generalized on board games like problems where you have a problem space to search through, is that understanding correct? If so, it probably won't help in the use cases we are talking about here, right?
I wrote this quick tutorial and would enjoy any feedback you all could offer.
It's not simple to do.

First you need a whole lot of data to train the system which doesn't really exist (unlike the case of speech to text or one language to another(text to text)). You would need to set up a big data collection project.

Secondly there are a whole bunch of different things to track. Movement of multiple fingers, +palm, +entire hand, +facial expressions. Current state of the art would be tracking a single thing like a ball or a player for sports and that still requires a number of cameras and a couple people sitting behind the scenes fixing issues.

I think Microsoft's Kinect came close to achieving something akin to sign language recognition at a very basic level. But from what I remember reading they spent a whole lot of time and resources training their system just to get there.

Maybe 3-4 years away I'd say.
The WH didn't say he "mistouched" her, it said he "placed his hands on her." If she reaches in to grab the microphone out of this hands and her arm touches his in the process, it is extremely misleading to write that he "placed his hands" on her.
Yelp in NYC is infuriating to use. Not only it does not know neighborhoods, it is incapable of identifying rivers that separate areas. Ask it for places in Greenpoint and it would happily include stuff in Manhattan, sometimes well before it runs out of the Greenpoint options which could be OK had Greenpoint not been separated from Manhattan by the East River.

Yelp is also happy to manipulate reviews contrary to their denials. It is rather funny, of course, because it seems that no one in the tech leadership of the company understands how easy it is to take a screenshot of a review.

How would you type lambda?

If something like Symbol -> AST -> Closure is a type you accept for lambda, I guess vau's type would be the same except with two Symbols (one for the argument like lambda except it won't be evaluated before being passed to the closure, and one for the dynamic environment which you will need to evaluate the argument).
If student loans granted to students studying in for-profit schools became dischargeable in bankruptcy, then lenders would be incentivized to consider their graduation rates and employability of their graduates before granting loans.
My girlfriend is one of the main operators of a small chain of board game cafes here— her experience is pretty well the same as yours.

They rely on Google reviews and Facebook reviews. Facebook has even been toxic enough with false stories pushed in attempts to defame the company for money. I haven't heard the same about Google reviews and Reddit has been strangely fair.

I just never liked Yelp. It seems like it spoiled very early on.

I bet Apple will be snooping around for a cheap acquisition here. Apple already uses Yelp for their place data in Apple Maps and they are still way behind Google.

Eventually Apple will probably need to have its own place data if it wants to continue to compete in maps. Yelp would give them a starting point.
Does anyone else find that their best restaurant experiences come from places that only show up on a yelp search several pages down (if at all)? A number of years ago I stopped using yelp to find places to eat in my hometown because I found that the app completely overlooked smaller, locally run places for big name places near tourist hot spots.
It seems kind of like frequent flier miles for eating out. I know a dedicated yelper who gets all kinds of perks and special treatment, but she has to write a lot of reviews to maintain her status. Which I guess is OK if (like air travel) your meal is a business expense.

You can use whatever prediction technique you like, but if your model is wrong, then so will the prediction. Predicting stock prices requires considering as many factors as you can gather that goes into setting the stock price, and how the factors correlate with each other.

> previous price of a stock is crucial in predicting its future price

This is a poor and incorrect model. The stock price has plenty other variables and many of which are unknown. What's used here is just a single variable.

Great news! I run a local service company and stopped advertising with Yelp several months ago. No transparency how clicks go to $12 when they used to be $5. That's not even a click to your site, just your Yelp profile still on their site!

On top of it, my 5 star reviews keep getting filtered, even ones that have shown for months. Meanwhile two recent 1-star reviews we got with people from brand new accounts still show just fine.

GOOD RIDDANCE, hope they go BK. They deserve it.
Sorry, “thinko” there. I meant to refer to the proposed Swansea Bay tidal lagoon, which is promoted as a “pathfinder” project for other, larger lagoons.

The Severn barrage is, of course, much larger in scope and there isn’t any near-term proposals to develop it.
I think the trick is to not focus on how many stars a place has, but the number of reviews it has, especially when visiting a new place.
This idea is very well explored in the classic article, "Big Ball of Mud" by Foote and Yoder:

http://laputan.org/mud/
Rentech and the other more secretive top quant firms such as TGS and PDT use nearly exclusively public data.

Funds like Two Sigma that haven't had as good (or scalable) returns are actually the ones that focus on novel data sources.

In reality, everyone in this industry is drowning in data, and the real edge comes from learning how to more efficiently parse and analyze data rather than acquiring more of it. The top performing firms work at a level where the data is merely an abstraction; above-market returns can be achieved from nothing but public data sources, if you've automated the process of extracting signals.
This is really really not true. I did a local comparison any Google map reviews were REALLY REALLY bad whereas Yelp knew what the good restaurants were. Not even close, at least in my area.

I got the post-exposure series with rabies vaccine and immune globulin shots earlier this year. The total insurance charge was around $20,000 for me as well. $15,000 for the immune globulin and $5,000 for ER/Vaccine/etc. My out of pocket cost was below a few thousand after insurance, but it was expensive nonetheless.
The previous one was a horror. Security t6 screwdrivers are a nightmare to source. I have bought 5 sets and none have been correct. Resorted to attacking them with pliers and eventually had success.
The problem I see with that hypothesis is that the asset pricing must eventually be tied to actual performance--while it may be self-reinforcing to some extend, if it _is_ fundamentally wrong, there will be a reckoning and an adjustment after a high value stock goes bankrupt, for example.
I would be interested to see how the school has changed over that time period. Specifically, the administrator to student ratio, the number of new deans or other fundraisers, and the number of new buildings erected.

It is not so much whether we identify the simplest theory, but that we are so good at inferring principles and predicting, whether in science or in day to day life.

SI is a formalization of this general capability. Perhaps a finite TM can approximate SI to some degree, but to what degree, and is this degree equivalent to human capability? I don't know of any evidence of the latter. If you do, let me know!
In contrast to many posters here, I really like Yelp (as a user, at least, never been a restaurant owner). I sort by number of reviews and find places that are highly rated (4 stars or so) and almost always this has worked well. Other services I've tried are not nearly as easy to use or reliable.

I’m talking about for-profit colleges. If you want a socialized model where profit isn’t the goal, the game changes, but I would argue that ostensibly “non-profit” colleges (and other types of non-profits as well) are considered for-profit by the people who earn salaries, especially the upper echelon of employees with 7 figure salaries. They are non-profits in terms of goals and not having shareholders, but the employees earning money are incentivized to keep revenues flowing.

Although for-profit colleges are the most egregious, the absurd rise in tuition across the entire education industry is driven by government-backed loans that cannot be discharged. If we moved the loan system to the private sector, and forced hard decisions to be made about the cost/benefit of education, there would be short-term disruption but longterm stability.
If I'm reading this correctly, they found post holes and a steeper ramp than expected, which leads them to believe that they both pushed the blocks up the slope and pulled them, through a "pulley system".

I'm not so sure. I remember from high school that the pulley was one of the five simple machines noted by Hero of Alexandria, but he lived over 2000 years after the Great Pyramid was built. I have no idea if the pulley was possessed by the ancient Egyptians - absent additional evidence, I would assume that they likely just wrapped ropes around the vertical posts. That wouldn't qualify as a pulley (which is by definition a wheel and axle) but would explain the holes and the steeper slope, but wouldn't require a drastic change in how we understand that the pyramids were built.

I absolutely loathe yelp reviews. Far too many people trying to act like professional reviewers spending 500 words on setting the scene of the restaurant only to end up on 2/5 stars because of something ridiculous like bad lighting. This is all within given context, but there's been so many reviews for smaller divey type places that get people slamming it over stuff only to end up with a single line of "food wasn't bad though".
not OP, but I think the fundamental difference is design vs art. Designing for use will drive you to create a site similar to what's out there. Creating art for expression leaves you plenty of room to communicate the aesthetic, mood and so on that you want to share.

Seems a lot of reviews are hidden. Suspect they hide good reviews unless the owner pays to be an advertiser.
South park did a really good parody of this a few years ago. Cartman becomes a high ranked Yelp reviewer.
ditto, google maps reviews are weirdly inflated with almost all restaurants having 4+ stars, even terrible ones

yelp's review quality has been on the decline as of late though. it used to be great
Your choices aren't just Yelp and nothing though. There are things that are better than both, like Foursquare.
Sure it has. Modern physics depends on a number of concepts that were originally considered impossible for materialist explanations, such as any sort of "pulling" force, field effects, wave particle duality, and more recently with the refutation of local realism. Originally, materialists thought everything had to reduce to bumping billiard balls.

Math itself is necessarily immaterial, and modern science would completely collapse without mathematics.

So, it seems prima facie your claim that immaterial explanations have never been able to adequately answer any question to be incorrect. I see no problem with also proposing an immaterial soul as a scientific hypothesis, if we are able to make the claim quantifiable and empirically testable.
Perhaps a lot of bad code comes from strict time requirements, loose specs, and employee churn. Your customers and your manager/supervisor couldn’t care less about how neat your code is, so I understand the logic to push out something that works ASAP. I personally try my best to write clean code, but I don’t call other developers ‘stupid’ given the reality of ridiculous timelines and low job security.

No, it's not. Google sold Zagat in March to The Infatuation.
Yikes, I have no dog in this fight, but the level of sarcasm and meanness in your post ("Your turn.") just seems over the top for this argument. You'd be more convincing if you were more level, at least for me.
Because it is cross platform and isn't really used cross platform it is a pain in the arse.

SQL Aliases don't work. So people have to put in registry hacks into C# code (YAY back to 2002).

Loads of missing functionality (e.g. GeneratePassword is missing in aspnet core).

It is just incomplete. .NET 1.0 was more together than ASP.NET core and that was in 2002.

We've lost loads of functionality in the spurious benefit of it running on multiple platforms. I was developing ASP.NET on Linux 5 years ago.

It is more churn and burn for the small amount of devs that use dotnet without Windows.
