Not really. If work is flawed, it will need to be fixed before recommending it to readers (which is now the only marginal value provided by editors). If it appears to be unfixable, the correct choice may be to recommend that it not be endorsed by a journal.

You can always put work up on arXiv if the goal is priority or distribution. Peer review is, in principle, designed to ensure that work is new and true (and that what is new is true). It’s not meant to fix flawed work, but to make good work better.
white men are actually a minority of the largest twitter accounts

Sure, but those are all celebrities. People who get on Twitter and follow mostly celebrities don't need this tool. But if your Twitter interest is mostly about an area of, say, software development and you start following popular people who tweet about it, you’re likely to end up following 90% (made up number) white men unless you go out of your way to prevent it.
I do not know why it matters. Why bother adding expenseses to a government department when they can simply pay someone to do the work. Github is a private company. It is subject to the government, not the other way around...

It is really common for the government to outsource this kind of thing, and most times it results in users paying fees to the private company for access. With GitHub, no fees are necessary. So win win.
My coworker was sexually assaulted on the BART, on the East Bay side of the tracks. A group of youths started sitting around her, took off her headphones, groped her, took her picture several times with them groping her, laughed and then left after terrorizing her for 10 minutes unabated. There was nothing she could do, she is a tiny, attractive Asian female sitting by herself and no one stepped in to help her (to be fair, who would risk themselves by stepping in against a large group of youths). She contacted the police, but they said there was nothing they could do and frankly they couldn't have cared any less. She never took the BART again, and moved to the peninsula.

There's nothing stopping criminals from victimizing you except the law of large numbers, meaning your only protection is dumb luck these days, and not the police. And if it happens to you, the police largely won't do anything about it.

Everything related to food in the US is just a total disaster. From meal habits, to crop to cattle, to sugar, and obesity. This society is in self destruction mode, and the only good side of it is that as a consequence your pharmaceutical industry is a huge economy that’s discovering new drugs that benefits to the rest of the world.

I wouldn’t expect this to be a sustainable model for too long though.

I find it to be a good excuse to spend time outdoors performing a meditative physical activity.

I would be mortified to subject my neighbors – 10 or so within 200 ft radius – to the hellish cacophony of a leaf blower. Even an electric one, which one of my neighbors uses, sounds like someone is running a cheap air compressor inside my home for hours on end.
unless the people who review their tenure cases don't count them because they are woefully out of date and out of touch.

It has been amazing to come to understand just how effective the corporate takeover of universities has been in the thinking of senior faculty. I have had faculty complain about policies that they literally are the only one's empowered to change because it has never occurred to them that they actually have power.

Conferences, generally, are a better path to science because of dialogue. Having a conference with 2500 presentations because everyone needs another CV line item don't accomplish that because no one is in the room.
Isn't paging orthogonal to using brk? Or is "paging" something more specific than "virtual memory is handled by the OS in big chunks"?

I guess your allocator can try its best to prevent fragmentation, but you're right that returning memory to the OS isn't going to happen without explicit compaction (which nobody in native code is going to do.) Dunno if anyone ever expects memory use to go down though.

(Is less true than it used to be? -- I guess we used to make big swap files and now that's less fashionable.)

I guess if it's not too much more of a burden on the OS to make it keep track of a Swiss cheese virtual memory allocation then it is useful.
"Learning material" for actually-advanced folks, in my experience does exist and is almost without exception books or papers. I gave up on trying to find stuff on video.
> Make no mistake, anyone born into an advanced country is privileged.

Privilege is not binary, being born into a rich family gives you a massive amount of privilege that being born into the lower class doesn't regardless of how we compare with other countries. So your point here, is rather missing the point entirely.
You're comparing a merchant system with a criminal justice system. Obviously the cost or the downside of false positive is very different between those two, as well as the cost of making the judgement itself, given the difference in scale.
I have to be very careful about wheat products. If I eat the wrong stuff, I get acid reflux, and nasty acne. Some people tell me that I'm allergic to gluten. Others say yeast, because it's mainly crackers and noodles that I can eat. But not all wheat crackers are OK. The only one that I'm sure of is Stoned Wheat Thins, from Canada.

I wonder if it's glyphosate, or some other pesticide.
I tried the Buteyko method about 10 years back.. I wouldn't believe any of the theories of action, but the method worked to nose breathe and have tolerable sinuses.

One observation from Buteyko materials that sounds right (and would be easy to verify) is that only one nostril should be active when you aren't exercising, and there is a ~3? hour cycle where they swap dilation repeatedly through the day and night. When you are healthy you won't notice this (unless someone asks you to gently test), if you panic and fight to keep them both open, it will cause you more trouble.
If that was your point, perhaps you should've mentioned it. That would've made your post informative, rather than merely nitpicking.

BART police are sworn California law enforcement, same as SFPD or Oakland PD. Only difference is their jurisdiction is BART so technically they should be enforcing the law.

That said, I’m down for making any change to this status quo that sees them actually enforcing the law and public order, or a different responsible PD altogether.

WebAssembly does protect the host from a compromised process. WebAssembly doesn't do jack to prevent a process (and whatever data it controls) from being compromised in the first place.
It might be possible when exchanging only numbers. But I think it's going to be quite tricky when exchanging pointers of buffers between modules since values of a pointer in a module is meaningless to the other module if the momory block is not shared.

I suspect Spotify would prefer to have their app on iOS without using Apple's distribution channel if they could.
Well, yeah, but without students & postdocs it is very difficult to make a material impact on your field of endeavor.

There’s also an ulterior motive for some lines of work, where sending a paper to be critically reviewed by rivals is a mechanism to torture test the work & conclusions.

This can be taken too far (especially in biology, the glam fluffing and $million additional irrelevant experiments are legendary), but in principle, if even your most motivated critics can’t find a fatal flaw in your work, it’s a reasonable bet that the work is sound. At least, that’s the principle. Editorial overrides sometimes break this safeguard, though (lord knows I’ve seen a few).
WebKit does support service workers now and they're working on support for Web App Manifests. Some web apps, like Kindle Web Reader work fine in offline mode on my iPhone, granted that site is using the older (deprecated) App Cache manifest.

I wasn’t making a judgement on the move, simply pointing out ‘undercut your competitor until they’re broke’ strategy is a classic the government goes after. It wasn’t just that MS had a higher market share.
You can also own gold through an ETF or some other vehicle, which is pretty easy to trade.
> Apple provides a service for that 30% though.

Money is universally reviled, and rightfully so: it is a dark, vile, evil thing. It brings out the very worst in the very best of us. It brings entire countries to their knees. Money corrupts. Money is awful.

But there is one thing that money does better than anything else, bar nothing. No contest. No competitor on the horizon. Many have tried, all have failed. Money quanitifies value.

It is not up to you to defend how much money Apple should get. It is not up to us to contradict it. It is up to the market. This is the one and only thing it does well, so let's at least give it that.

Because allowing Apple to get all the benefits of determining the value of their app store, without letting the market give it a go, is actually unfair to Money.
Really? I think I’ve only ever seen that for Steam/GOG.

The main idea of communism is to kill «bad» people («Bourgeoisie and Intelligence», i.e. richer and smarter people), to grow «soviet people», which then build communism. Initial estimate in 1918 was to kill 10% of population. To do that, secret police created to spy on people minds, to find bad ones. Secret police reported that majority of Ukrainians are anti-communists. So, idea was simple - communists need to kill majority of «bad» Ukrainians, then communism will happen.

Hypotheses for a critical assessment
Andrea Graziosi, 1999
I'm pretty sympathetic to the idea that two people with the same hourly wage should get the same fine. Why do you think pay-per-year is a better basis?
gatekeeping in science is a theoretical good...the difficulty in practice is highlighted by the general 'three paths' for citations...articles that never get cited, articles that get cited a lot at first and then are forgotten, and articles that aren't cited until much later and then cited en masse. That last category is really the 'good science' because it does what we want foundational research to do - disrupt current and limiting ways of thinking.

Dialogue is an unmitigated good, but dialogue also tends to be dominated by the normative voice. Where science is different than OSPs is that OSPs need to work with what exists now, whereas science needs to engage in tension and informed dialogue in a more foudnational way..

That image of the street in Norway was absolutely gorgeous. I'm not the biggest fan of cities, but I would love an area like that, designed for humans.

If such a thing came to be in San Francisco I'd absolutely move.
It's worth noting that the computer science community (at least in systems and machine learning) have already made some strides in this direction. Systems conferences like VLDB and CIDR post the proceedings online for free (and most ICDE and SIGMOD articles are available through the author's website). In machine learning, almost every conference paper is also available via arXiv.

When a paper is seemingly not available online, I've always gotten a free copy via an email to the author... And then there's sci-hub. It's not the way it should be (i.e. you shouldn't have to hunt around for publicly-funded research), but at least it's something.

The OS implements brk under the hood with "swiss cheese virtual memory" so you don't get any real optimizations here. On AMD64 paging is mandatory. It does have a cost but the MMU hardware accelerates this to make it mostly not noticeable.

The brk system call places an unnecessary restriction on how the memory is used that is not imposed by the hardware. Back in the 70s when segmentation was a thing and virtual memory hadn't taken hold this would be different - but virtual memory has won.
Maybe they should issue more concealed carry permits in bay area counties. It's wrong for the police to simultaneously neglect your protection and also prevent you from protecting yourself.

Pretty much. I forget who is responsible for providing it, but one summary of the Penrose argument is:

1. Quantum mechanics is weird and confusing.

2. Consciousness is weird and confusing.

3. Therefore, quantum mechanics probably explains consciousness.
I read a lot of anti-police and criminal apologist rhetoric from that part of the world. Granted I may have some sort of selection bias or sampling bias, but it really does not surprise me to see this take place. It seems to me that there are certain political movements that you can't really criticize publicly for a variety of reasons, who have - through political pressure, rendered the policing power of the state to be largely ineffective.

Unrelated to the Bay area: in a region with similar politics - Portland Oregon, I was watching some YouTube videos where some very obnoxious black clad youth were attacking and threatening cars passing to the area. One elderly driver was asked to "go back to North Carolina". It was unlike anything I had ever seen before - and frankly shocking to see in a first world country. This kind of thing routinely happens here in India when there is unrest - police are told to stand down for political reasons when there are violent protests. I imagine that a similar kind of politics have taken hold in some of these areas.

I believe Oakland is also the place where a college campus was attacked by the same extremist group. From what I remember reading of the incident, the city's Mayor asked the police not to establish law and order, and they essentially watched on while it happened. I watched a young lady participating in an interview wearing a "Make Bitcoin Great Again" hat get pepper sprayed by one of these miscreants.

Is there a reason why this group has not been designated a terrorist threat?

The Sphenodon in the room is that the raison d'etre of the entire Academic structure is unclear. So that should be clarified first. Advancing science is one thing. Publishing as many papers as possible, breaking research into MPUs is another. Lecturing to youth completely uninterested to be taught is yet another vertical.
Well, yeah, but learning to review is less difficult than learning how to communicate clearly, crisply, and forcefully. So in a well administered review, most benefits accrue to the authors even if the reviews are poorly done, so long as they are ethical. (Editors can step in when reviewers are being unreasonable or ignoring explicit instructions; unfortunately professional editors at glam journals can also step in to push exciting or politically expedient work into press before there is time to adequately vet it, which sucks and gives everyone a bad name).
Someone got a hold of my card number with Chase. I saw several thousands worth of charges. 5 minutes with Chase support got my card deactivated, account placed into fraud moderation and all the charges reversed within a few days (the process starting immediately). I was genuinely surprised at how well Chase handles fraud.

I find GTFO to be rather awkward, requiring two hands on the keyboard.
Okay, but other people clearly do and this article is strictly about solving the housing issues in SF creatively. Also, you're presenting a false dichotomy - many people don't have kids, or don't yet have kids(Not to mention don't want them). Many people live somewhere for a short amount of time, or a few years, and then leave. I really honestly don't even see the point of your comment other than to cast shade against someone's lifestyle choice that you disagree with, or maybe to comment on the absurdity of the housing market in SF, with regards to the former I choose to mind my own business.

And to your main question - if you are somehow blessed with the opportunity to make a buttload of money and live on the (relative)cheap for a little while in SF, then your future is probably looking pretty good. We are fortunate to live in a country where you can go wherever the heck you want at any point that you want, especially if you're financially able to do so.
Digital game stores are a great comparison. Lets stick to windows gaming, since I'm most familiar with those. Steam & co did cut out physical media production and distribution, obviously driving the price down. But there is also competition. If EA doesn't want to give Valve a cut, they can try to reach me directly. Steam is my preferred store for games and the only client I let auto start, so that won't be easy. But doable for a good game / price.

Compare that to apple users. As a start, you'd probably have to convince those to buy a non-apple device. That's a huge barrier to entry. It might be justified, i you believe that's good for other reasons like security. But then we're far of from driving down app prices.

I want fine grained competition. It is what makes our economy more efficient. Market leaders in contrast don't want to compete on profitable parts of their business and as such, will employ any tactic possible to stop that. Like e.g. placing barriers to entry (see above). Or make it difficult do make informed decisions (stores reads quite a bit like printers and overpriced ink). Thus I have a hard time buying into those "this is for the good of the consumer" talking point.

No it wasn't and Tegmarks earlier criticisms were proven fundamentally flawed. What scientifically compelling arguments has Tegmark produced for his theories?
Interesting piece. I'm almost always impressed by what I find in Arts Technica
There are lots of BART security job vacancies, probably because no matter how high the salary it would be a very dangerous job. This is similar to the social situation in NYC when the Guardian Angels were formed, but what is extraordinary is how wealthy the bay area is today compared to 1980's New York area...

The poisoning is happening. It's just not yet happening to humans, it's happening to our rivers and streams and oceans that are receiving all the phosphorous runoff, and to the wild herbaceous plants that are caught in the drift of dicamba, glyphosate or 2-4,d.

It benefits other Google Maps users.

Is it actively bad to moderate Google Maps?
- Payment processing, yes (though no other payment processor charges anywhere near 30% -- Stripe is 2.9%, I think?).

- Build, not exactly -- only in the sense that they can handle minor upgrades via bitcode for new ARM variants, if you choose to enable that.

- Moderate/curate, sure.

- Provide a lucrative channel? Yes, but only because they've made it the only channel by fiat.

I'm not sure I see 30% worth of mandatory value here. Is Apple's moderation so good it's worth 27% the cost of my app? Do developers think they're paying for bitcode upgrades, and do they think that justifies the fee? Recompiling for new minor architectures isn't difficult.

For that matter, is there more value provided in moderation for a more expensive app? If they approve my app at $5, and then I up the price to $25, did their moderation process retroactively become more valuable to anyone?
It's my honest interpretation. I don't see how they are not equivalent. Maybe you could help me.
Actually that is how pilot wave theory is explained.

You have a deterministic world, you just think it's random because you don't have enough knowledge of how everything is going to work.
I admire the effort to try and find a version of the game that would resonate with a millennial audience but the collection of stereotypes, although done tongue in cheek, seems to fall short. It's neither funny nor ironic, IMHO.
Often (but definitely not always), requests to peer-review are accompanied by statements like "We consider our Journal X to be on par with Journals Y and Z, and aim to be extremely selective. Please only recommend publication if blah-blah-blah...."

I'll then read the introduction. If I don't have sufficient expertise to referee the paper, I'll decline the request. If I do, then I'll see what the authors have accomplished. If, in my judgment, this doesn't rise to the level that the editors asked for, then it doesn't take me a long time to decide this and say so.

Conversely, if the introduction does impress me, then I will want to check the proofs in very close detail. In this case I will commit to writing a detailed report in the future.

It's quite common for papers to be declined from individual journals; it's happened to me plenty. There are tons of other journals out there; you can submit somewhere else. And when I decide that a negative report is called for, I write it right away, so as to not keep the authors waiting forever.

The distinguishing factor is whether there is a victim, not “ease”. There is such a thing as a victimless crime and if we are talking about espionage, then there is definitely a victim. That is a case that can be made with copyright violation, but it is a much weaker case and generally has to be determined on a case by case basis whether or not there was actually a victim, i.e. was someone actually harmed in some way or are they just saying they were? I defer to the courts on this one.
