Dimensional analysis and soft matter physics always make for interesting and very readable papers.

What I like the most in this field, is the connection between mundane observations (crumbling paper, tearing scotch tape, pouring shampoo vs honey, etc, etc) and deep insights combining physical phenomenon.

It always makes me smile to see real world phenomenon explained with SIMPLE math but subtle physics
Call/cc is pretty simple to implement depending on how you chose to represent your scheme code. Using CPS call/cc is trivial.

Hygienic macros are however never trivial. It is so many kinds of tricky, and together with the nice debugability of macros you find yourself in a nice place.

Power saws don't stop instantly. There is a massive amount of energy in those spinning disks. There are some safety mechanisms available (atypically) that use explosive charges to move the blade away and/or physically destroy it (in the case of table saws), but you cant simply stop something with that much momentum.
I was going to mention those 10 day courses.

While I find the idea of a prison a bit silly, the 10 day courses come with a heavy load of tradition, more or less mandatory 1hour talk everyday, and at least 2-" h of mandatory (in the hall together) meditation practice.

I am grateful for what I felt on those 10 days. But in a sense, I got more than I asked for. So those 10 days are a little bit sneaky in a sense. There is a lot going on those retreats, a lot of energy work. But once you're out of the retreat you're on your own.

While the 10 days have their benefits, I think there is a place for a distraction free environment that lets people think about their life without putting them on the "awakening" bus.

As an aside, I get the idea of the prison. The idea is to be submissive, to lose control. It's a very common theme in sexual fantasies as well, for a reason...

But, at the very least if they're going for the prison theme it should be cheaper than 90 USD a day. :/

But the difference here is that, to the best of my knowledge, there's nothing particularly difficult about CRISPR in humans. It's routine in other mammals and had previously been done on human embryos. The thing holding everyone back was ethical concerns and the possibilities of off-target effects, side-effects of the mutation, etc. So I'd err on the side of assuming they did do it.
The infrastructure of iris scanners and computers already exists in refugee camps (edit: for security reasons). It does require power but something like what we're building for the Sun Protocol (http://thesunprotocol.io) can be deployed in hours and support token based payments instantly.

>"In our opinion, the plane was no longer airworthy and it should not have continued," he said. The committee's report itself, though, does not spell out that conclusion.

Well that's kind of a useless conclusion without the report having anything to back it up. It's really easy to pat yourself on the back and say "yup, wasn't air/road/sea-worthy" in hindsight after there's been an accident.

>Pilots tried to correct this by pointing the nose higher, until the system pushed it down again. This happened more than 20 times. It is unclear why the pilots did not employ procedures to disable the automated system.

It's been my experience that the worst hires are fakers who for whatever reasons do not consider themselves able to point to real capabilities, therefore they tailor their resumes to say they have done all of that stuff you are asking for and maybe a bunch more stuff.

The ones who won't - perhaps because they respect their personal qualifications enough to expect that they will get hired somewhere just might decide not to apply for the job, and perhaps it's these folks you actually want to hire.
Maybe I am confused, but it doesn't look from what I read in articles that the crash was caused by the problems that made the plane not "airworthy". If that's the case, it certainly needs to be flagged. But I don't get why that makes the headline.

You are correct though, that it's not an across the board improvement because of the additional required infrastructure.
I have to STRONGLY disagree.

It's a slippery slope towards a world in which the computers we use are completely locked down and we have no control over what they trust, being dictated by the corporations and their interests. The freedom to modify your roots of trust is extremely important and situations like this should not scare us into depriving ourselves out of that. I say this as someone who runs an adblocking/filtering proxy and MITM my own traffic continuously. What's scarier than being MITM'd? Being force-fed by those who want to control your life.

When I think of personality tests, I think of quack science. "Do you get angry a lot?", "Is it easy for you to get angry?", "Would you say it is difficult to make you angry?, and four other similar questions in a 200 question quiz. They ask the same thing multiple ways to try to know if you are an person categorizable as x, y, and/or z, and anyone sensible will put the socially desired response.

An interesting take on this is CultureAmp's surveys, where they determine your working style and can rate how well you might work with different colleagues. I work great with someone I scored a 98 with. Turns out I also work great with a person I scored a 4 with. So, while fun, it seems all bunk.

Bayesian Approach: Pros and Cons

Pros

Can calculate explicit probabilities for hypotheses.

Can be used for statistically-based learning.

Can in some cases outperform other learning methods.

Prior knowledge can be (incrementally) combined with newer knowledge to better approximate perfect knowledge.

Can make probabilistic predictions.

Cons

Require initial knowledge of many probabilities.

Can become computationally intractable.

New Quantum Compass Could Replace GPS
I really appreciate the work done to help newcomers to answer the question "how to structure Go project propertly", but unless you're building N-th microservice in the company with already established project structures, you don't really need to ask that question.

Every single Go program starts with a simple layout - empty directory and main.go file.

Once you start adding things, you create more .go files in the same folder, and only when it grows bigger you start thinking of moving some abstractions into separate packages.

The key difference with most other languages is that in Go folder means "package", not "namespace for bunch or files". It's a crucial difference that important to keep in mind with Go. And what is (sub)package? When do you need new subpackage? It's just a higher level way to abstract logic or system component - make it more isolated than just concrete type, change the naming and usage API to be more clear and self-sustained.

Before that, you don't have to create new packages (=folders) in Go.

The vast majority of all Go projects will never need `internal` or `cmd` folder, not to mention `pkg` or `web`.

Just start with main.go and let it grow naturally. The simpler and easier your package is, the better.

Airlines at LAX must love their LA plans...
Yes, I witnessed it first hand.

1989, downtown Cleveland, soon after Tiananmen Square. We'd all seen the "tank man" and people were talking about all the dead witnessed by those present (~10k?) versus the official cover story of 300 and denial.

So there were protests across the US, including downtown Cleveland, mostly visiting Chinese students from CSU and CWRU, and plenty of horrified locals there to support them. There were a couple of Chinese guys not marching but watching from the edges while people walked past. They both had the same sunglasses, trench coats, and SLR cameras with long lenses, and they were taking pictures of the marchers. If you've ever been in Cleveland in June, this is not appropriate attire for cloudy and windy, so they stood out from the locals. The Chinese on student visas told me they were government, often seen at such events, and they were cataloging Chinese there for later study and reprisals to family or when they returned home.
Alternatively - you can choose to program in Common Lisp - an industrial strength language that has been demonstrated in large projects like the QPX flight search engine (Google Flights).

For anyone who doesn't know - a big difference that Common Lisp brings to the table is that it has separate namespaces for variables and functions. This may not sound like much but it makes it much easier to write macros (code that writes code) and facilitates compile-time computing.

Another big difference between Scheme and Common Lisp is that the Common Lisp specification is _much_ larger and it comes with a much larger collection of standard built-in functions and macros and a standard object-oriented programming facility, among many other things.

I know this because I've spent the last six years implementing Clasp (github.com/clasp-developers/clasp) - a Common Lisp that interoperates with C++ and uses LLVM as the backend. There are several excellent implementations of Common Lisp - Steel Bank Common Lisp is a great place to start.
They give permission to modify their computer/device, but obviously there's an implicit trust that it isn't going to do something horrifically bad.

There are practical issues there. Liquid helium is relatively expensive and scarce, magnetic fields from the machine by definition need to be high to get good results, and to throw more fun into the mix you need to stop external radio interference from getting at the machine.

That said, some national variants have more special characters; for example, French AZERTY gives easy access to § ° € £ €, etc

I like how you think that I have this opinion because I am missing some fact, or whatever - I know about the invasion plans, I am talking about other options ie non-military ones.

The Emperor basically wanted to still be Emperor after the war, which we ensured anyway, had we given such assurances prior, an invasion might not have been necessary at all. The Japanese were already discussing surrender.

Opinion of somebody who was there: "[...] the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons... My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make wars in that fashion, and that wars cannot be won by destroying women and children. "

And if you think that such use of nuclear weapons would be well considered, note that nukes were practically ready for Vietnam, because apparently Napalm wasn't enough.

>from the corporate perspective

Aside of a brief stint at 15k-large corporation years ago, my customers tend to be small & medium sized businesses (10...100 employees). They seem to suffer from the "corporate-like" cookie-cutter hiring practices just as well.
As Prof. Bohnet herself points out, the HR dept. should do more A/B testing of its practices instead of relying on the gut feel.
Hence the gradual increase in the prevalence of "people analytics" (apart from allure of sucking in all the data-points you can).

But there are a few problems:
1. A/B testing in talent mgmt practices is costly in terms of time-investment.
- Final, long term impact of such experiments are not visible to the org for, well, a long while.
Sure, may be some short term impacts like increased diversity - may be visible in the short term.
But is that worth all the experimentation for all the firms except the largest ones like FANG?

The experiment cost is probably not worth the value for the smaller orgs.

2. Vetting people for skillsets and qualifications only, masking the personal details - like in the OP on Helsinki, is a good start.
But it does not address the biases on the historical disadvantages like not coming from a pedigreed organization because of not having been to a pedigreed school.
Think of being ranked lower in the applications to Netflix because you are not coming from Google because you didn't go to Stanford.
Blind -audition technique would be the best in situations like these as the focus would be on demonstrating the skill needed and not the "qualifications" (read - pedigree).

Such skill tests can probably be done easily for programming and other situations but a lot of roles do not have a strictly defined evaluation criteria as the KPIs are...well... fuzzy.
Or at least not something which can be demonstrated in a short "test".
Think sales / pro-management. You can not demonstrate in a test if you are a good enough sales person who can meet the revenue projections ("sell this pencil to me" doesn't count).

Issue here is lack of a easily reproducible and reliable signal for your future success for such roles, thereby increasing the dependency on past history - and by association, your pedigree.

Of course there will be other issues like isolating performance factors into "chance" and "skill" in a noisy dataset that is usually available, if at all.
Or hiring mindset which focuses on the required skillset (what is needed to get the job done) but the "best person" for the job which muddies the waters by adding evaluation factors which are really not material to performance on the job at hand.

But if the cost of experimentation can be reduced by devising quick tests for generating reliable signals independent from historical background, it would be awesome!

Things have obviously come a long way, it's not that long ago that the UNHCR was talking about "water, sanitation and hygiene".

More infrastructure questions: does the system also require a working internet connection? If so, when the internet connection goes down, can vouchers no-longer be "redeemed" until it comes back up?
