Correct that his is thermal efficiency, and I apologize for not breaking into out earlier.

An ICE is ~20% efficient.

A combined cycle gas turbine is ~60% efficient, transmission systems ~98%, LiIon ~99%, motors around 85-90%. The first is thermal, the rest are electrical. Well-to-wheel this is about 50%.

My point was just that you really do get a large efficiency improvement (50 - 20 = 30) by electrifying cars. Climate argument aside, energy is simply being wasted.

Getting a PhD would require doing a lot of scientific research, but it sounds to me that you may be more interested in doing product innovation.

Having said that, I know folks with master's degrees and PhD degrees who are great UX and product designers doing cool work on autonomous vehicles, drones, etc, so the path really depends on what you're most interested in as well as how lucky you are in finding a good match.
I think a lot of people can fast, but are never told to try this. Most people are recommended to eat 5 meals 300kcal each - and this is hard to do. Tell them to fast for 18h and eat in 6h window without calorie counting (but no shit food) and I would guess more people can do it.
I've been wondering for a while if you could overwrite the signal on the vestibular nerve. This just drowns it in noise, but presumably it should be possible to electrically excite the same fibers with a signal that matches what you are seeing. I have heard that they do something similar already in medicine for helping people with balance problems caused by the inner ear, though I gather it has to be tweaked patient by patient.
Fasting has been hugely beneficial to me in terms of endurance sports and keeping even blood sugar. Interestingly it has never had much of an impact one way or another on my weight (I'm a fat person) but it's a lifelong lifestyle for sure.

Jason Fung sounds very interesting, I'm looking at: https://idmprogram.com/the-failure-of-the-calorie-theory-of-... where he provides some advice very relevant to this thread...
"The [calories in calories out] model very useful because it efficiently flags <strike>idiots</strike> people who are not all that knowledgable about obesity, and I can safely ignore them. There are many of these people out there, and not everybody is worth listening to."
I have a single datum that contradicts your last premise. My father asked me about Robinhood after the announcement, and he hadn’t heard about the company before. After I sent him the memo from the SIPC, he now associates Robinhood with other fly-by-night internet companies.

Robinhood got a lot of press from this, well beyond their existing target market.

The mass promotion of the Chase Sapphire card coincidentally corresponded with the roll out of Apple Pay. Perhaps this could have been complete luck, but part of me wonders whether JP Morgan isn't given enough credit for this given its a huge advantage if you become someone's default credit card in Apple Pay.
My fear is that Netflix is trying to hit the level of content volume where they no longer have to license shows/movies belonging to other studios/networks. They can finally turn into their own silo.

While Netflix's original content initially yielded huge hits (House of Cards, Narcos, Stranger Things), it's purely a game of quantity over quality now.

There is also the risk of Netflix falling into the same trap that Spotify is in now, being pigeonholed as focusing only on a certain type of "chill" music because that's what listening data points to. Netflix's selection would be awful if they created long-term commitments for shows that reflect today's tastes, and not necessarily what tomorrow will bring.
It's hypocritical to attack Google for moving back to China after pulling out 7 years ago while other companies have been there continuously for years without backlash.

It is difficult to get a backing licence in the UK, though. OpenBanking is tangential to this and you still need regulatory approval (min £50k and several months of paperwork).

Monzo spent a long time as a card provider only, while working to obtain their licence. Revolut has been operating for years and only just got their European banking licence four days ago.

Other UK bank newcomers have bought smaller, established banks just for the licence; Aldermore bought Ruffler Bank mostly for its licence.

Trump's net worth is actually measurably lower than what his inheritance would have been worth if it were invested in index funds.

Also, while some of Trump's lavish expenses are pretty much just lavish expenses (business jets and the like), some of his superficially ridiculous personal expenses, like gold-plating half of his entire penthouse apartment in Trump Tower[1], don't necessarily hurt his net worth that much because he could always sell the tower with the tacky gold-plated penthouse to someone else who could extract some value by removing the tacky gold plating and having two valuable assets left over: (a) a penthouse apartment in a Manhattan high-rise and (b) gold.

Most of Trump's losses came from a variety of failed business ventures, which isn't necessarily a huge criticism. Some people just like doing a bunch of business ventures and they don't all have to succeed to be a net positive. It's just that if Donald Trump spent the same lavish amounts of money and invested less money in his own ventures and more money in index funds, he would be richer today.

Of course, in this hypothetical scenario, would he become a cartoonish real-life personification of American capitalism, host a reality TV show, get a lot of Twitter followers, and develop the dedicated fanbase necessary to eventually be elected President? Probably not.

[1] I'm not entirely making this up, though my only source is a foggy memory of the first season of The Apprentice, when Donald Trump invites the guests to tour his penthouse apartment.
They did indeed have a waitlist. I was number 215000 or so to sign up, according to them.
Pretty banal article. TLDR: A very complicated model will fit simple data, as will a simple model. Modern ML/AI has nothing to do with 1D timeseries forecasting.
>I'm neutral on the question in this case, but really, any discussion of "capitalism" that goes beyond chapter one, page one of an undegrad economics textbook covers the point that efficient markets are not deceptive markets. Participants are assumed to share equal information.

Given the replication crisis, is psychology ready for much of anything?

Yes, I admit that this is snarky, but it is also uncomfortably true. There is good evidence that things said by psychology that also fit common sense are probably true. However things said by psychology research studies have a good chance of being false. And things concluded by individual psychologists upon a chain of research based on those studies should be viewed with significant skepticism.

This will change when psychology can get from their current 50% replication rate (on a good day) to having a significant body of established research that we have good reason to believe is about 90% likely to be replicable. Until then I'd advise against placing too much trust in anything that it says which you can't find independent reason to believe.
(Yeah, slow response on my side, end of semester here)

Yes, you're right that it does suggest a certain kind of corporate culture and mindset. A common big challenge with UX is educating the rest of your company about best practices, and most importantly, demonstrating results.

Convincing (say) skeptical engineers of the value of user studies can be hard. A common technique is showing videos of user studies and people failing to use the product. Another common technique is to bring an engineer to a site visit and get first hand experience of the pain points.
My guess is that the main damage is reputation, just like for McKinsey in South Africa.
My hypothesis of the world is that someone must have luck AND skill to become 100M+ wealthy and I think people commonly create a false dichotomy of luck OR skill.

Maybe the reason we never see hundred millionaires lose everything is because they have the necessary skill to manage the money well.

I don't think it would be correct to attribute causation based on the information we have available.
I'm an active participant in improv and I'd like to disagree right here.

If you have someone who is really being off the rails and is JUST expressing themselves and not really listening/collaborating... It's essentially the same as a `no` to everyone else's idea.

I have a hard time reconciling these things. Where it "should" be safe for "everyone" but not if you're too crazy!

I think some people really get off on the expressive/generative part of improv and not so much on the listening/collaborating.

Although Cornell is a great school and I know a few smart and capable alumni from Cornell, the nytimes is really reaching here. Certainly having top schools didn't hurt NY, but amazon's decision had nothing to do with cornell or their roosevelt island tech school. It had everything to do with political influence and vote buying.

The article is nothing but empty PR for Cornell. It would be like washingtonpost writing an ad for Georgetown by claiming Georgetown made DC area attractive to amazon. My suspicion ( and it's only a suspicion ) is that bezos wanted a headquarters in the DC area to buy good will amongst the politicians in DC and to be closer to the lobbyists and of course politicians.

If cornell and georgetown decided to move to wyoming, I doubt amazon is going to follow along. Now if the politicians, lobbyists and "influencers" in DC and NYC decided to move to wyoming, I'm betting amazon would be right on their coat tails.
It's best not distilled that way. But some forms of improv can resemble things like role playing games. But not all.

Not saying aircrafts are simple but self driving is just orders of magnitude more complex. Otherwise we would have seen them on the roads already.

Aircrafts also have much stricter maintenance schedules, failure investigations and completely different economic, media and moral incentives.

I think you've got it backwards. The mobile site is deliberately shitty to drive you towards the app.
From the perspective of a (fairly large-scale at this point) app developer: I find it great that Clojure places such emphasis on backwards compatibility. In general, migration to newer Clojure versions is completely painless.

The language has been designed by experienced and mature people and doesn't go through "let's throw everything out and start again" phases like so many other languages do.
I wonder if this can explain the trick I learned on reddit on how to relieve the ringing-tone (tinnitus) by snapping your fingers on to your skull: https://np.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/3l3uri/these_guys_light...

In other words, can percussion on the back of your head somehow reset/affect the nerves deep inside your head that send signals from your ear to your brain? For tinnitus, it's the audio signal. For motion-sickness, it's the balance signal.

A poor person could still benefit from the stock market by investing in a fund over the long term. That is, if they had money to spare, which they probably don't--the definition of poor is that you don't have money to spare. It's not like free trades is some magical gateway out of poverty--in fact, it's more likely a way to lose money.

The solution to poor people not having enough money to invest is to get them more money.
No, their mobile site was fine UNTIL they made a mobile app. Just like old reddit used to be, it was lightweight and responsive.

Once they released a mobile app to compete with the great mobile app offerings that already existed, they crippled the mobile site with all those ads.

"1967: Separating Text Content from Format" - funny how that innovation is still frequently ignored!
my guess is that they're trying to appeal to a broader audience by making the call-to-action less "costly" to users.

The fact is that the general public won't care about any of this because the utility of these platforms is worth far more to them than the scandals. I really hate that this is the truth, but almost every time I talk about this with someone who still uses Facebook, they hesitate to even think about deleting their account because of the FOMO.

Choosing to work with dynamic typing and exercise vigilance is a reasonable choice. (In fact this is what I choose.)

The biggest chunk of my professional work is still in Smalltalk.

But choosing to work with static typing and refusing to take advantage of how it lets a toolchain help you is not a choice that makes sense to me.

Yet despite being a Smalltalker for years, I'm still an advocate of static type annotation. It enables you to do more refactoring than not having it. It enables you to know sooner about incorrectly written code.

That you should know how to operate without the tools is one thing - I strongly support it. But maintaining your practice in doing so is quite another.

The "maintaining your practice" I'm advocating in this thread is merely: "Code without an IDE once in awhile to make sure you know how to operate without the tools." You don't have to fire drill every day. There is some benefit to doing it once in awhile, however.

I'm not advocating not using an IDE. I'm merely advocating for knowing exactly what it is the IDE is doing for you and doing to you. It's just wise practice for any professional power tool.

Interesting, looks like Firefox automatically resolves these to the real letters in the address bar, but leaves them as is for google search. Nice job aggregating these into an easy-to-use font.
I'd say it's a combination of several factors, including:

- The designers / developers thinking that they are typical users, and that they know how things work ("You are not the user" is the phrase we repeat a lot here at CMU)

- A lack of education about how to design things (e.g., basics of perception, design patterns, basic interaction principles, conventions)

- Time and money

- A common mentality that "we can fix the UI at the end"

- Legal requirements, marketing, corporate partnerships, etc, that is all of the cruft that doesn't focus on user experience

- For popular products, a very large user base, which means legacy support (people don't like change), and different people using different features (I once heard that people only use ~20% of features in MSWord, but it's a different 20% for different people)
I mean there were a bunch of people in cryptocurrencies running clearly labeled ponzis. I remember one person getting scared after hundreds of people actually bought into their ponzi smart contract (that clearly explained what it was).
Apple has a very significant manufactoring presence in China, so unfortunately they can't cleanly separate from China like Google can without risking retaliation

Apple can walk away from China whenever it wants to. Apple is the one company in the entire world best equipped with the cash to make this kind of public stand. But it doesn't want to because doing so will cost a lot of that money.

The only thing stopping Apple from closing its Chinese stores, and moving manufacturing to another country is fear of the faceless shareholder bots that have no AI for morality, and will punish Apple for doing the right thing.

Every time I see Tim Cook on stage patting himself on the back for making some minor environmental improvement because it's the right thing to do, I can't help but think it's all a farce because incremental environmental improvements aren't even low-hanging fruit. They're the fruit that has already fallen from the tree and rolled through his front door into his kitchen.

If Mr. Cook and the rest of his company want to impress, then do something hard.

Disclosure: Apple shareholder, with morality, but not enough shares for Apple to care.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I'm sure improvisation classes help some, but I suspect it also causes or exacerbates anxieties in others.

I for one do not have an anxiety problem in my day to day life. But having to take an improvisation class would cause anxiety and exacerbate it.

If anything, I think team sports or video games does a far better job of reducing anxieties in teens than anything. Though it can also cause anxiety. There isn't a silver bullet for any human condition since humans are a diverse group.
