Given that the revolutionary history of modern China shared adequate similarities to be mapped to a entrepreneurial context of narration, the first 30-year of the communist reign after 1949 looks too much alike a fundamentalist Marx-Leninist experiment, and the revolutionary practices quickly transformed to doctrinal fanaticism leading to disastrous outcome.
A good math book has examples and proofs of theorems in the text that demonstrate what a solution should look like. In a sense, these ARE worked solutions to some problems. If you ever get stuck on an exercise, it helps to go back and look at those. Nothing beats having an expert to look at your solutions and provide feedback, though.

My conjecture is about e.g. the Rete algorithm for rule search and the likelihood that it could be made more scalable on multicore and distributed hardware with modern functional data structures allowing easy rule updates.

This example in the article seems particularly bad to me:

"Some Athlon laptops have really hugged PST tables"

Without knowing that f-word -> hug was a thing this would be a really confusing comment because it doesn't have enough context to suggest its original meaning, or the fact that it was changed at all - the reader might think that "hugging a PST table" is some technical term that they don't know.

Could they really not have just censored with asterisks or something? "really f---ed PST tables" is so much less confusing and still a step in the right direction in the spirit of the code of conduct.

The other examples are at least more comprehensible but seem almost juvenile in the context of the codebase that they're in.

"If you don’t see why, please stay the hug away from my code"
> it's an extremely complex system about we have shockingly little information in the grand scheme of things (30 years' worth of satellite data!),

You should stop making that argument as it's too much like a well-refuted talking point that climate change denialists use.

We have many different lines of evidence. “Global Warming in an Independent Record of the Past 130 Years“, for example, shows that the temperature changes are consistent across 173 different types of records, from measured temperatures to grape harvest to oxygen isotope ratios.

> "recent climate change is minute even by standards of the past two millennia"

How do you make this claim if you think we don't have good global temperature measurements more than a few decades old?

The only arguments I can easily find in support of this claim are by climate denialists who use one temperature series from Greenland. (There may be more, but that's the one that keeps popping up in my searches.)

While those who use a larger set of temperatures, to give a better sense of global temperature change, show that the recent temperature change is not "minute", like the one https://skepticalscience.com/medieval-warm-period.htm from Moberg et al. (2005) titled "Northern Hemisphere Temperature Reconstruction" for the last 2,000 years.

This kind of illustrates an important point that I think a lot of people don't realize. Strength isn't just muscle mass but also neurological conditioning. You're not just stimulating your muscles to get bigger when you work out but also refining the "programming" used to control them. In some cases, possibly like yours, this effect can dominate everything else. This is also separate from the application technique as well, such as in the cases of body builders losing to much smaller pro arm-wrestlers.

> the ease of returns

I recently had to return a large broken-on-delivery item to Amazon. They required me to buy and apply packaging ( they had just stuck a postage label on the item ) and pay £35 up front for return shipping.

Two weeks later they refunded the shipping cost but not that for packaging or my own time, including carrying it on my shoulder to the post office.

It was sold by and fulfilled by Amazon, not a vendor. I get better customer service from eBay!

I'm not advocating centrism any more than a janitor saying "no food fights" is making diet recommendations.
"The authors underscore that the overarching correlation between brain volume and "braininess" was a weak one; no one should be measuring job candidates' head sizes during the hiring process, Nave jokes. Indeed, what stands out from the analysis is how little brain volume seems to explain. Factors such as parenting style, education, nutrition, stress, and others are likely major contributors that were not specifically tested in the study"

The tl;dr is their research found that 2% of cognitive differences can be attributed to brain volume, indicating intelligence is influenced primarily by other factors.

They also found that though male and female brains differed in size that didn't produce a statistically significant difference in outcomes, but the study didn't tackle this specific issue so they couldn't say much else definitive about it (the cortex construction speculation notwithstanding).

I applaud them for pre-publishing their methodology and their commitment to publish regardless of the results.
Seems so. Honest question: what's to stop the manufacturer (or anyone who knows the manufacturer) from making copies and selling them themselves? Do business owners who sell this sort of thing on Amazon just have to stay ahead of the curve or are there protections in place for this sort of thing?

I always saw Facebook's enormous success as very much "right place, right time".

I feel that 2007 was a massive shift in internet consumption habits/demographic.

Prior to this, it was still relatively young/geeky - Mum and Dad would use it for e-mail and work research, but not much else.

Then the iPhone came along, and suddenly, your average Joe and Jane were flocking to the internet on their mobile devices. It was no longer geeky, it was mainstream.

Facebook opened the gates to the (non-university) public right around the same time, which meant they were perfectly positioned to capitalize on this colossal new demographic of internet media consumers.

I'm not saying that they wouldn't have built a successful social network without the iPhone. But I do think it would have just been another Myspace.

Same goes for Twitter, mind you.

If this guy is guilty of DUI, what does this say about the future of autonomous vehicles? While I expect autopilot is less sophisticated than autonomous vehicles, he wasn't given the opportunity to violate the "sophistication" of autopilot. I expect his vehicle would have remained under control of the autopilot on the freeway until he woke and disabled autopilot. He may then have been legally DUI, but if we trust autopilot, then he wasn't DUI at the time the police disrupted the autopilot.

I know of one major team in my field. I tried to passively discuss it, was graduating and I was so naive. Not a good idea! At the time I had a few papers in review.

All my work got rejected (everything was being accepted before, and the rejected batch was a full level higher quality). So yes, it did set back my career for two and a half years if I have to approximate. I am probably never submitting to certain publications ever again to avoid having them as reviewers. I am gradually moving away from their field entirely. I was so short on publication then that I couldnt even move away to nearby fields, having accomplished vengeful rejections in my field. These days I wish I had done a second PhD in a different field, just to get away from them! I'd have had a much easier career path.

This is by no means an exaggeration, I am actually downplaying what happened.
If dealers pull drugs that cause deaths, could we make progress in the War on Drugs by having government agents sneak poison into the illegal drug supply?

The idea here is that dealers would stop selling drug after drug as the death toll mounts. If they chose to keep selling, the deaths would presumably make the drugs easier to trace.

I'm not sure if it would be legal or ethical for the government to do this. But they did it to alcohol during Prohibition.

That’s the future of advertising. It’s not ad-blockable with today’s technology and is powerfully ‘native’. At some point it may even be programmatic server-side video splicing so that you can’t really dodge the ad.

With video you have the advantage that someone has to watch the video in wall clock time so you can run a bid/re-edit/display process in seconds instead of having to choose an ad to show in milliseconds.

You could even use the identity information that Google has to run all of this server side to create a targeted ad fully in a first-party way.

> I have zero confidence that Google is willing to keep their experiments like this one alive for more than a year or two....

This seems like really silly logic. It's not like youtube premium is a big commitment, and there's zero chance that google is going to actually just rob your money and not give you the product you paid for. So what if you get ad-free YouTube for just a few years and then it goes away? You're back where you started with no real loss. It's not like they cancelled a service that has stickiness (e.g. e-mail history, chat network effects).

On the other hand, I think it's good to buy things that are actually good. Anyone that allows me to pay for content at a reasonable price instead of seeing ads is a good thing and I'll buy it (if I use it of course, which I do use youtube).

I am actually a big fan of Arcanist. It rather simplifies the Git workflow management. You simply develop new code in a separate branch from master, and use `arc diff` from said branch to start a Pull Request (called a "diff" in the Arc world). No need to use `git push` and manage upstream branches, simply rely on the diff abstraction. It has many great features including `arc diff --preview` which gives you a link to a preview of your PR so you can see what it looks like in the browser (much better than `git diff`).

Of course, there is a bit of a learning curve and most engineers already know the standard git workflow. That is a disadvantage of course, but only in the short term. If it's a short project, then I would recommend against it. However, if you're in it for the long run, arc is great.

I feel like the other points (CI, lack of support, etc.) much better show the weak points of Phabricator versus GitHub or GitLab.

I don't think the alibaba shops have much interest in doing the legwork to list their own items on Amazon. They rely on other people (like the author) to do the research and marketing legwork, and hold the bag for unsold goods. They are focused on moving volume and keeping the factory at capacity.

The bigger threat is Amazon itself, if your product is successful enough there will soon be an Amazon Basics branded version undercutting you and showing up higher in search results.

Couldn't agree more. A decade ago, you'd always be 100% sure with Amazon. There was no need to be cautious. If the product was fake, broken, or you just didn't like it, Amazon would fix it. Support was both rarely needed and amazing. Their default answer before they were even sure what the issue was would be to overnight more things to you.

But these days, you've gotta keep your guard up at all times. Whoops, this isn't for sale from "Amazon," it's some rando on their marketplace. Hrm, do they have lots of reviews? Okay, let's check a few and see if they look real or fake. Is this the sort of product that might be faked or be a weird, cheap knockoff? Is this the right product page for this product or a weird clone of the real one? I can still get my business done with a minimum of being taken advantage of, but it's a lot harder to do now.
Great deal for Amazon. 50% of the sales goes to them with 0 risk.

> When I started riding again, I definitely felt unsteady for the first few days or weeks compared to my previous riding ability.

This can happen to frequent riders simply as a result of switching to a different bike with different geometry from what you're used to. Eg. if you normally ride a mountain bike with a fairly upright posture and suddenly switch to a road bike with a low and narrow handlebars and toe overlap, or if you raise your seat after being accustomed to keeping it very low.

Neural nets can also colorise or even transform photos into the style of paintings. They can detect the better image of a series of shots. They can remove noise, watermarks and even reconstitute arbitrary missing pieces of an image. They can remove whole sections of an image bringing closer far away objects or shortening empty spaces between objects, in a seamless fashion. They can imagine things that are not in the training set (GANs). They can take your face and transfer it (animate it) to another person in a video. They can make summer into winter and vice-versa, in a realistic way.

Really it's an explosion of things we can do now that before were impossible.
