As someone who has chronic pain and tried everything under the sun, but only found relief in opioids, it sucks to see this attack on pain doctors by people who largely aren't affected by it.

I lost access to my medication because I moved to a new state and no doctors want to take on a new patient for fear of the DEA. Pain patients are super risky, and every script they write is scrutinized by the government. My quality of life has dropped a lot. Thank God I found Kratom (it really works for moderate pain), but rumor is that will be banned soon too in the US (where we love our drug wars). Also kratom doesn't help much during flare-ups. I'm now bed-ridden during those periods whereas before at least I could work.

Please consider the unintended consequences of a well-meaning war on opioids. They are not evil. In fact for many of us they are the only thing that allows us to live semi-normal lives.
"Fuck! Fuck Google!"

Literal quote from my mother when I explained Project Dragonfly to her. (She's not a person who cusses often.)
4 can also be sorta solved by a lot of 1-3. Outside things you can learn from a CS class there is a lot of stuff out there that is poorly documented where the only good way to do 4 is to run many small experiments to know what constitutes an improvement and what doesn't.
So this doesn't work anymore:

Like I understand the benefits of lambdas/serverless. But they aren't sufficient for all use cases. The ability to have an endpoint for a docker container with one command is extremely useful. There already a lot of serverless options on the market too... maybe I'm confused...

"Does the Chief Diversity Officer include diversity of ideas and experience? Or is it just skin deep like it sounds?"

Well, to nitpick even further, those propositions are logically mutually exclusive.

"Does the Chief Diversity Officer include diversity of ideas and experience [as well as surface traits]?" Or is it [only surface traits]"

Abstracted, could be "(p and q) OR (p and !q)" which is literally mutually exclusive.

No, I'm not usually so pedantic, I just thought it was interesting.
I won't hope that a phone would handle 10000 rows much better.

But that "Excel" thing might be an answer: the laptop must be running Windows, and Windows users often run an antivirus, and some Windows antivirus software is known to be terrible. (The MS-provided basic antivirus was always fine in this regard, though.)
I talked to a self-driving PM recently and he said that self-driving cars are a extremely expensive and complex way to reduce cost per mile urban transit/taxis and admitted scooters might be a much cheaper way to accomplish the same thing.
That's not a good comparison, you're neglecting the cost of actually building the non-roundabout intersection and just looking at the cost of the signs. Consider the cost to build each from scratch.
I mean the UI part, of course - Slack has public channels that everyone can easily discover and join.

Of course, IRC can do all of that (much better than Slack, from a technical point of view). But IRC + The Lounge is not a drop-in replacement for Slack.
It's reasonable to worry about the wealthy abusing their position in government, but there should be separate fixes for that. It's not like we worry about the power-hungry trying to take over the military in modern societies.

Also, I don't believe in high taxes across the board and funding everything with the government. I primarily want the state to stop arms races. It's not like I want them to take over shoe manufacturing, for example.
That hit hard.
Might be that S9s just have older version of Dex right now - they still need the special Dex dock while Note 9 works with any USB-C dongle.

I'm guessing they'll get the support with Android Pie where Samsung also promises that Dex will be usable without their special dock.
I believe there are a couple of different claims being made in the above, I went ahead and just made a gist with some proofs (in lean) that try and hit some of the points about usage of law of excluded middle, double negation translation

I'm an engineer at Wallaroo labs. I've done a lot of work on our Python API and I wrote the blog post. If you want to discuss stream processing, or Python, or Pony (the language that the core of Wallaroo is written in), I'd be happy to do it here.
Any consideration to packaging this as a portable archive that can be extracted and executed easily (e.g. w/ like pkg [0])? While adoption may not be a goal, asking users of software to obtain it from a JS package manager is a bit much. Don't underestimate the value of a download button/link.

Most employers don't allow drinking at work. Some allow it at company events, provided it doesn't become a problem. The funny thing is about a lot of Silicon Valley companies, I think, is that they decided in their attempt to reinvent work that they'd throw out a couple hundred years of learned experience on what does and doesn't work in a corporate setting.

The "fun places to work" eventually figure out that fun for some is often at the expense of others, and that most things corporate environments have ruled out were ruled out a long time ago because they didn't work well.
I wrote a lib that does this too. It's been a while, but using generators tended to be way slower than just using arrays, except in the most obvious cases (array of 1000000 elements, only take 5, no sorting involved, etc). Maybe that's changed. It's been a while since I've checked.
"When students come to me saying, David Irving is going to speak in Atlanta, we'll go and protest! I say: Don't do that. If you go, the press will go there too and he'll get the front page.

IBM owns 9/8 - it's used for their internal network (really). They're mid-way through a 2y project to move everything to IPv6

The recent purchase of OpenShift may be a good answer to 'I wonder what they are intending to do with a /8 in a year'.
I was considering investigating Now/Zeit as a possible evolution over our current stack. Having seen this announcement I'm not so sure that is still a good idea. Now 2 is a completely different beast to Now 1. The very last thing we need is churn in our servers/infrastructure rivalling our frontend. Is Now 3 going to be [dramatically improving the reliability and scalability of -our- deployments] yet again?
Dutch people, evidently, are nearly all fit for bicycling. That's a system that would be useful to learn from.
I have seen a lot of cars not come to a full and complete stop at stop signs if there's no traffic

I don't see why it should be any different for cyclists.

This argument, of course, does not apply to people going full-speed without yielding through a stop sign or traffic light

I actually disagree, I don't think he does have "every right" to have the microphone. He had his interaction with the president and someone else was being called on. He's being rude by preventing other members of the press from getting their chance to ask a question. I don't see a Constitutional issue here.

I haven't seen Sarah Sanders' take on it, but I did a cursory review of the "doctoring", and I'm not convinced of any deliberate changes to the video, apart from format conversions (source -> gif -> mt2 -> mp4).

There have to be, but it might be hard to get data, and/or controversial/inflammatory to talk about it. I don’t know if Google will release any statistics on all the cases they know about, and I won’t hold my breath, but that would be pretty enlightening. Things that are likely well above 20% include men being the perp in much larger numbers than the company’s gender distribution (national stats are roughly 80/20 [1]), whether the perp is a higher rank and/or direct supervisor (national stats say this is ~40%, whether the victim was threatened, and what department the people were in.

It was pulling 4G turns by using the elevators. My surprise was that losing such a tiny piece as a single trim tab would cause a 17G pitchup.

But yes, that was a highly modified plane pushed way past any sensible operating limits, so maybe one shouldn't generalize too much from it.
But that's a different generation of hardware, I can understand why the project currently focuses on current gen hardware. The S9+ and note9 share the same processor and amount of RAM, so that's why I asked.

Maybe not zero sum, but you can't have the rich without the poor.

If you lose the race, you may very well end up among the poor.
Why is it concerning to you? It's typical for human nature. Out of sight out of mind. If it doesn't directly affect the executive or their bottom dollar, then it doesn't matter. As long as they aren't getting spied on, everything is fine from their perspective. Nothing will change.
Maplewood is a great example of homes that look amazing at first glance on real estate websites, but the high property taxes cause your mortgage payment to jump significantly.

Here's a great example. 36 Ball Ter, Maplewood. $550K, ~2200 sqft, interior looks newly renovated, looks really nice in pictures. $15.5K(!!) in taxes. With 20% down you're still looking at $3.5K/Month(includes property taxes) on a 30 year mortgage.

If you look at the price history on Zillow or Trulia, it looks like it was flipped (I think that's when the interior renovation was done) late 2017/early 2018, and the price went up to $750k and has plummeted since then. So the property tax assessment is probably on the pre-renovated value, not the renovated value. So whomever purchases this house can expect a fat tax increase when the town reassess the value.

Also, look at the prices between the East and West side of Maplewood. The East side is fairly close to areas that lots of people would prefer not to live in due to safety concerns.

Again, I'm not trying to be an ass or attack you. I'm just trying to present some real numbers so people have a realistic view when they think the greater NYC area is a place you can escape to when you want access to NYC with a medium CoL. NYC is a very high CoL area and moving to the suburbs can hurt (e.g. terrible commute) in unexpected ways, and you still have a high CoL compared to the majority of country.

If nothing else--and I tend to agree they're a fad--the question of where you ride them seems as if it will be the ultimate stumbling block. Even if one stipulates for purposes of argument that they're OK to ride on sidewalks if you're careful about it and the sidewalks aren't too crowded, it seems hard to argue that this scales up to widespread usage. At the same time, it's fairly clear to me that these won't work for most people if they need to ride them in the road or even a non-separated bike lane.

Segways largely failed for a number of reasons but infrastructure was a big one. A lot of people probably forget this but they spent a lot of time and money lobbying cities to let them ride on sidewalks (and were mostly unsuccessful in this regard).
Wow, this sounds really interesting.

Guillermo and his team are focused on developer experience first and foremost; the zero -> “hello world” in any language they support is ridiculously quick and painless.
If it's your turn to go, go. Most likely the cyclist will slow enough for you to get through the intersection without having to make a full stop themselves. They know it's your turn to go and are expecting you to go. It only creates further confusion if you don't follow the rules that everyone knows.
No, but it's some kind of grease you put in the pan. I love your appropriation!

Their LPG fields might be quite large but at this point they likely would run the clock on shale oil before we move off carbon based fuels.

We might still power jets in 2050 with oil (and even then biofuel makes more sense) but not cars and likely not homes.
Wow, WeWork won't even allow employees to expense meals that have meat in them?! That's ridiculous. The environmental situation with beef is a little more complex than "less beef eaten -> fewer cows -> less methane -> less climate change."

What's even more ridiculous is that beef is the costly meat from an environmental perspective, but they've also banned poultry and all other types of meat. I can understand not serving meat, but not allowing employees to expense meals involving meat would make me reconsider working there - especially because of the heavy handed way they did it.
I agree, although I think it is important to keep in mind that everyone has different levels at which "deal with it" is appropriate. I've heard people say that about patients fresh out of back surgery, which I find to be ludicrous. I think this should be something between only a person and their doctor.
A "two drink limit" fails to account for (1) how alcohol affects people differently since two drinks can make some people sloppy while others will hardly feel it and (2) the fact that alcohol usually only lasts about an hour per drink and many social events last a few hours.

A couple drinks helps get me out of my own head enough to relax with co-workers. After a couple hours, the two beers have worn off and I usually want another one or two to keep my sociability going.

I'd much prefer a policy where everyone gets to decide in advance how many drink tickets they want and perhaps say "these tickets aren't good until X time." This would help everyone to regulate their own intake, and it treats employees like adults capable of managing their own bodies while still addressing the issue of people over-consuming by accident or in an unaccountable manner.
> Striking evidence that harsh conditions affect a man’s children came from crop failures and war ravaging Europe more than a century ago. In those unplanned human experiments, prolonged famine appeared to set off a host of health changes in future generations, including higher cholesterol levels and increased rates of obesity and diabetes.

Going fairly out there, I wonder if this could perhaps be part of the cause of the current "obesity epidemic". If stress causes obesity in subsequent generations, and if we have obesity, maybe one explanation is that previous generations were extraordinarily stressed.

Maybe there were social changes that cause our modern lives to be more stressful. Or even just being more consistently stressful might cause the incidence to go up.
No, not since a minor civil servant was sent armed with a cheap biro to cross that out and write the word 'austerity', after May hunted down the leopard for shoes.
I want a laptop with a hole where the mouse pad should be.

I want to be able to put my phone into that slot, dock it, and use the screen of my phone as the mouse pad for the laptop.

I want my phone to do all the processing and work. I want the laptop dock to be an extension of my phone, running something like DEX to make the laptop experience work. The only thing I want this laptop dock to do is give me a screen, a keyboard, and maybe extra battery and ports.

Please, someone make this happen. I could use my phone for all computing at that point.

To me the notion of a need for diversity in a workplace is absurd. Seriously, whats the point? There are and always have been professions dominated by men and those dominated by women. From the perspective of an employer, gender, skin colour or political views should be completely irrelevant when it comes to making a hire/no hire decision. By introducing rules that aim to achieve a 50/50 distribution of e.g. each gender in any field, you're forming up an artificial construct that ultimately results in poorer overall performance (since you had to reject a number of candidates that likely were more qualified for the position in order to reach your equal distribution goals).
Google claims they have "no pay gap". And have resisted turning over their HR data as much as possible to avoid allowing the Department of Labor to investigate it, including claiming it was to protect employee privacy, and hilariously, that it was too hard/costly for Google to gather the data.

Meanwhile, the Department of Labor says there is "systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce" and that "received compelling evidence of very significant discrimination against women in the most common positions at Google headquarters".

A fifth of Google's entire workforce (20,000 people!) walked out, in part, because of that systemic mistreatment of women, and demanded Google fix the pay gap.

The Department of Labor and 20,000 employees who say there's a pay gap. I believe them. Google says there isn't one. I do not believe Google is run by people too incompetent to notice a "systemic" pay gap. Therefore, yes, I believe they are lying.

Over thirty billion dollars per year in aid with no strings attached. They owe us, it's the least they can do!
Agreed. A little anxiety is good and helps me stay vigilant but a little more than that and suddenly I'm overthinking things.
On the first article, if you believe that a human is smarter than a chimp, and a chimp is smarter than a snail, then it raises the question of whether entities smarter than humans are possible. I suppose it might be difficult to precisely define a concept of intelligence that matches our intuition that humans are smarter than chimps, who in turn are smarter than snails. But such difficulty just says something about how facile you are with defining concepts. It doesn't have any bearing on how things play out in the real world.

On the second point, who cares? If the first AGI draws gigawatts, it will still be an AGI.
Or ignored ;)

A few years ago, I rode my bike around Lake Michigan and blew out a wheel while in the upper peninsula. While sitting and waiting for the replacement, mostly at a bar, one of the truck driver regulars told me when he sees a bike rider, he swerves to hit them. That actually happens in some places. I've experienced it first hand.

While at a stoplight, I was also told by a driver in LA that I should be careful riding my motorcycle or someone might hit me. I asked him if he was planning on hitting me, and he said maybe. Traffic in general is a dangerous place to be, but when you combine a lack of education or intelligence or negligence, it is the most dangerous part of our lives.

It's amazing. Everyone I spoke to, everyone who reviews Macs for a living and everyone who comments on it seems to agree: Apple makes a long, confusing list of Macbooks that all seem to compromise on the features that made them popular in the past. There's not a single Macbook that's universally loved by its target audience and that's quite a feat.

Very cool to see another active project that draws upon Prolog for inspiration.

> The benchmarks were run on a Sun SPARCserver 1000 with four 50 MHz TI SuperSPARC processors and 256 megabytes of memory running SunOS 5.3 (Solaris 2.3). Each processor is rated at 60.3 SPECint92, and has a 4-way associative 16 Kb I-cache and a 5-way associative 20 Kb D-cache, backed by 1 Mb of unified secondary cache.

What's the rationale behind such antiquated benchmarking system? Interesting.
You are correct. I was talking about the white collar bubble, which seems reasonable since we're talking in the VC-funded ecosystem.

Do VCs often fund companies that are full of people working 2+ manual labor jobs?
E had a pretty interesting security model and there were in various E writings expressions of pipe dreams that operating systems should be rewritten using it.
