A Tesla is much more expensive than a Prius, but I think the Tesla is set at a rational price point, even if I could never afford it. Being able to afford an item does not necessarily correlate with whether you think it's priced fairly or not.
I think his argument is that some null hypotheses can be rejected out of hand, but that people are wasting time and effort obtaining evidence that, if they had better priors, would be multiplied by 0.0000000000001 to end up with an insignificant posterior. That's what the astrology example indicates.
That's true of many of these arab regimes as well. Hence MBS' consolidation of power recently, for example. A monarchy is meaningless if you can blow off the power of the monarch. I am deeply sympathetic to the plight of their peoples.

I dunno why everyone's assuming I don't know about the common solutions to the problem. TypeScript does explicit nullness without needing monads, and I actually mentioned that one. I still disagree that this is not overrated.

Go's idea of nil, for example, seems OK to me, and the language would need to be way more complex to fix it. For example, it would need a type system with explicit nullness, or maybe even actual generics. But it mostly doesn't matter because doing things with nil doesn't crash nearly as much in Go. Like a nil slice just acts like an empty slice. You can even append to nil and it returns a non nil slice. You can call methods on nil. Etc.

The trouble with getting rid of nil to me is that it requires you to either have values at all times, or deal with the possibility that you don't at all times. Go has the very very nice property that you can initialize any type to a zero value and it should work as an "empty" object. Pointers without nullability don't have a zero value. Fixing nulls at the cost of getting rid of Go's properties for zero values would not be worth it.

Neat. I was also thinking of compressed air but that clearly won't work. The spring require less effort to start it moving, and that effort doesn’t ramp up as quickly as with compressed air.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has been buying sovereign and corporate debt, the entire yield curve, with new money with the purpose of making yields negative. This lowers interest rates in the eurozone.

This is its own comedy troupe that has nothing to do with the risk of the countries, especially the anything outside of the Eurozone and ESPECIALLY US monetary policy and the market's expectations of US debt.

Where did I say any of that? Of course people sit in chairs, when they're available. But, when they aren't, people in many parts of the world will squat (vs Westerners who remain standing, or sit on the ground).
If you don't mind a bit of grungy asthetics, the areas near the JMZ trains just on the other side of Manhattan in Williamsburg and the Bed Stuy/Bushwick border have a relatively fast commute - much faster than far more expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

For example, it's like 10m from Marcy Ave to Essex St. in the LES. The J goes downtown in the Wall St. area while the M takes much of the same path as the F along 6th Ave, and both of those trains follow the same lines up until Myrtle-Broadway. In fact, it's literally two stops from Essex St. during rush hour as the J runs express (sometimes it sees itself as a Z).
I thought you might be right, so I did some polling on this product and got feedback like:

* “Bergner’s and Macy’s already can get a good fit. They have 15 cup sizes most people don’t know about”

* “I’d pay $150 for a custom fit if my size weren’t fluctuating”

* “If I have to travel, I can already get a really good bra in Paris, NY or London that look better”

* “Seems like it could be successful if enough women who don’t know their options hear about it”

These are aggregates of the most commonly expressed opinions. It seems like price might be a valid concern of women as well as men. I am sure that with enough press, this founder can succeed, but I don’t think I’d necessarily be biased if I thought it wasn’t competitive or disruptive enough. The qualities and connections of the founding team matter more than anything when the problem is that existing solutions aren’t popular enough to meet demand.

Yes. Ubuntu is even certified by Cannonical iirc. Given that it boots on USB, and ZFS creates a pool in like a second, you can get started in a few minutes providing your internet is fast enough to pull the guest images.
>But as an aside why shouldn't they be covering a dog's kennel bill?

Because it's not the sort of expense that companies normally cover. Especially people who travel a lot have all sorts of second and third-order expenses resulting from the fact that they're away from home, may have to dress up for client meetings, etc. that are rarely covered by expense policies. They're also working extra hours when they travel. As partial compensation, many are also expensing fancier meals than they'd have at home--and are presumably being paid a competitive salary that reflects a fair bit of business travel.

Whether all this is "fair" is at least somewhat a value judgement but has been the approximate norm since I first traveled for work a very long time ago.
Lesson #4: Perfect is the enemy of good

I find myself re-learning or having to remind myself of this every so often. It's easy as a "person of a problem-solving nature" to want my solution to be problem-free. But what that usually ends up meaning is my solution never gets completed. Tackle the low-hanging fruit, then if there's enough demand/reason to continue development, do the rest.
Not a ridiculous claim, the protestors that the Israeli army shot were not launching rockets. They were protesting, largely nonviolently. Thousands of civilians have been injured at these protests, and it is difficult to get the proper medical care when you're under a blockade.

The immediate retaliation for those rocket strikes killed three people. How is that "barely anything?"

I'm surprised that it comes as news to some people that the political views and lifestyle preferences of people living in rural Tennessee are starkly different from those of people living in Manhattan. Or that while we can and should be civil with people elsewhere geographically and politically, people with diametrically opposed views and value systems are rarely all that eager to spend their lives together.

OK, question from a fellow Emacs user: If a student asked you which text editor / IDE they should learn _ab initio_, would you recommend Emacs without reservation?

I'm not sure I would. I'll certainly never stop using it, because I've got 15+ years in it now and the key bindings and my config are as automatic as breathing. But I wonder if the investment is worth the cost for a new user, who could just use another excellent editor that's maybe a bit less full-featured but with a drastically shallower learning curve?
Start by finding a small group of people that have a problem that you might be able to solve by writing python scripts or a simple web app perhaps built with flask. Joining a few meetups or online forums or looking for problems in your current job may give you an idea of how to connect with these people. Then it is a matter of throwing together the simplest possible app that could address the main issues these people are having and going and talking to them to see if they would pay for it and adjust your product based on their feedback

Indeed. If you don't shave your yak when you should, your yak(s?) will shed profusely and the hair will clog not only your shower, but also all the plumbing in your house. Thus, creating a kind of "kuldge debt".

I use both. I mostly use Chrome for Google apps and for video streaming. I use Firefox as my main browser. I've been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox. One thing I've noticed is that Firefox's plugins don't work as well anymore. Lastpass on Chrome just works. Lastpass on Firefox is always fighting with me. Downthemall disappeared. Using UBO breaks sites on Firefox much more often than on Chrome. That makes me sad.

Per your second comment, that's fine as long as you have a flat responsibility structure (which usually means a flat pay structure too).

If you have a CEO they get paid more (supposedly) because they take on responsibilities. So, the buck should stop with the highest ranked officer who has responsibility (eg signs off payments/work) in that area.

If you don't assign blame, you can never improve your team, as there's no feedback. Assigning blame might mean retraining, it doesn't have to mean sacking (but could).
That’s fascinating, but makes sense! Considering how unique everyone’s bodies, and especially breasts can be, it’s amazing that mass produced even gets to “almost good enough”; I can’t wish Bra Theory enough luck!

It really isn't that hard to manage distributed teams at all. I would say it is easier, because it forces you to be more systematic about how you measure productivity and hold your team accountable to commitments. It makes collaborative work (anything that would involve a whiteboard) a bit harder.

However, as a manager, it is very hard to advance to director or higher levels. Having the full day of face time with mid/executive level is a big advantage. And it is hard to hire and introduces some difficult comp/HR challenges.

Bringing it back to this topic, I think it makes a lot of sense as an IC or line manager to move to a 2nd or 3rd tier tech community for the quality of life balance.
350$ for a garment? For an undergarment?! What?! That's 48 hours of minimum wage in my state for maybe 15$ of material IF it includes hand-made lace.

You can buy custom-made corsets for cheaper than this (yes they can be far more expensive but most of that is exotic material cost). You can buy custom made lifting boots/shoes for this that have a considerably higher material cost.

I work in international freight currently, I know extremely well what imported textiles cost including bras, even if these are hand-made in the US per customer there's an awful lot of profit there unless they are made out of unobtanium.

This is a prime example of 'pink tax' in my opinion and/or inefficient manufacturing processes (again, even if hand made) and/or unreasonable salaries.
Yeah I agree. What OP is describing would require an architectural shift in the way npm packages are built, IMO.

Sidenote, this is related, and pretty interesting: https://npm.anvaka.com
This is hard to reconcile with type theory for me.

NULL, to me, implies and uninhabited type, i.e. there can never be a value with a NULL type. Using null for a "data isn't there, apply, available, etc" seems like an abuse of the type system. I see no reason that the former needs to be supported at the type level. These properties are just responses to queries, not some mystical, uninhabitable oblivion. Unnecessary type features just make verification and learning a language much more difficult.

Re: Array Initialization

One approach you can take is the Rusty "hang up a technical difficulties sign" (unsafe) while you mess around with potentially uninitialized memory, which is valid, but places the burden on you as the library writer. Another would be to initialize your array of pointers as an array of Option<Box<T>> pre-filled with None. Due to pointer alignment you can actually optimize Option<Box<T>> by turning it into a tagged pointer (which I believe is what Rust does) so that None == null at the machine level, while the language exposes a safe interface on top. [1]

Re: Object Construction

With object construction in Rust you can either (a) create all fields in advance and specify them at construction [best] (b) use mem::uninitialized() [bad] or (c) create a builder which has optional fields for everything and yields a constructed option via 'a' later [most work].

Why India?! Western Europe, Japan and the United States have strong judicial systems. The EU, in particular, wouldn't require any pre-declarations to be filed prior to claiming asylum. The only advantage to India is being able to disappear, e.g. change names and retire to a remote village. Unfortunately, she doesn't appear to have taken advantage of that.

The effort to evaluate the null hypothesis can be costly. In the competitive environment found in most hedge funds, how would you allocate to accepting the null hypothesis?

nightlight is "dynamic" by using a simple heuristic after pageload to deinvert if necessary. but the crowdsourced filter is a great idea! might borrow it :)

does your extension run on android? there are two motivations for nightlight aside from its obvious purpose:

1) be fast on android
2) keep source code simple as possible so everything the extension does is obvious. when i wrote nightlight it was difficult to evaluate the safety of the other extensions at the time, something important to me for a plugin which has full access to all browsing
