I don't think GP is joking in that context. They're probably not implying that all younger people are not going to be able to read it, but it's certainly going be a non-zero amount.

The introduction of computing systems has done incredible things with normalizing representations of the written language. Most text read by all people today are confined down to a small number of typefaces. There is far less exposure to the diverse variety of even the non-cursive written word that is unique to each individual. If we have a population that not only no longer learns how to write in cursive, combined with the fact that they hand-write disproportionately lower than their previous generations, I think we're going to be surprised by its side-effects.

I don't remember that we did any benchmarks, but I don't doubt that if you look at the raw performance / price it can easily be an order of magnitude more expensive to go to the cloud. But once you take into account all the automation and services that the major cloud providers have, it can get much more cost effective as it saves significant time / expertise for most companies
Yes ... I don't understand the motivation of the folks with the large trucks. Do any of them offer a reason why they do this?
Maybe it's just the short video and the FAQ, but I found it particularly difficult to find information about the distributions involved and how to choose that.

I imagine there a bunch of cases where the defaults would not work like you're trying to do error propagation (all normal distributions) or you're trying to compute interval arithmetic.

Is it the case that if you input a range which span multiple orders of magnitude then you get lognormal rather than normal?

I might not be exactly the target audience, but I would appreciate a more in-depth of the math and heuristics involved

I think key issue here is that legacy api management solutions lock you into their billing flows and providers. An open SRC gateway like Tyk will give you freedom to use your own billing solution and define your own verticals at expense of slightly more complexity at integration/implementation.

>Allergies to common foods are increasing rapidly as well

Is there a list of stats for incidence of food allergies? It seems many friends I know (in EU) have food allergies to things like cucumber, hazel, peanuts, also gluten (celiax or something). One person I know has Crohn's disease. I would be curious to see the stats in both US and EU to see if it's really linked to a region's food. Or if it's just that common diets across the world are causing it.

Edit: or a third possibility is that rates haven't changed at all and it could be increase in either reporting or population making it seem like it's more commom now than before.
Opening a UK limited company is at least as straightforward. Registering takes a couple of hours, it can be done entirely online and the fee is £12 ($15). You don't need to be a UK resident. You do need a registered office in the UK, but a company formation agent will provide one for about £20 ($26) per year. All your tax returns can be filed entirely online and HMRC provide a very helpful tax advice service. It really is fantastically simple.

The obvious advantage to registering in Estonia would be the certainty of continued access to the European Single Market. We're still not entirely sure how Brexit will pan out.

You're changing the goalposts. This thread is about:

1. (arguably monopolistic) payment processors upon which people's livelihood depends, not restaurants or other noncritical services of which there are many to choose, and

2. It's about discrimination for political motivations, not being abusive to your employees.

There's a hardly a line between religious and political convictions, and if you don't find discrimination along these lines troubling, then I think your bias is showing.
A good way IMO to think about it is by looking at airplanes. Birds fly by flapping their wings to generate thrust, but planes use turbines to generate thrust.

Just because humans use vision to drive, doesn't mean that we should restrict ourselves to vision for cars. Also, as another comment points out, our visual system does a lot more than just 'see' in the literal light/color processing sense that a camera does

2) Marketing buzz from being seen as a forward thinking research company instead of a place that engineers their way out of costly regulatory compliance.

Given that this came from their SF group, it seems like a low-cost high-buzz exercise, and, if it had worked out, they might have some interesting methodologies for chemistry/structural improvement.

It seems like a win-win-win thing to me.
Wow that’s a fascinating codebase you’ve got. I mainly used Lua for scripting C/C++ codebases, never saw a large app that does the reverse. Seems to be very clear code in the functional style without too much object-orientation, did you specifically choose to not use that too much?

Yes, having a common ancestor is what "cognate" means. (Technically, in normal usage, "cognate" refers to words that (1) have a common ancestor and also (2) mean the same thing.) To use the familial metaphor, you descend from your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and so on, but you are cognate with your niece, cousin, aunt, great-aunt, etc.

"Foot" and "pes" both descend from the same Indo-European root, but the English word has no influence from the Latin one. Compare "pedestrian", which uses the Latin root directly.
Yeah, there are a lot more options for easy, small-batch prototyping PCBs these days. OSH Park was one of the first that was really easy and accessible to hobbyists, so even if it's not the best or the cheapest any more, the purple soldermask still has a place in my heart.
There's a crosswalk I pass on my way to work that always makes me think of this. An elementary school is located there, and every weekday morning there is a crossing guard (someone with lights and a hand sign who stops traffic to help kids cross) posted there. To be sure, I expect this person is indeed necessary, as traffic in that area is heavy and fast. But it strikes me as a dysfunctional that we need people dedicated just to allowing children to safely cross the street.

I hadn't seen this proof before. I assume the "unique non-terminating decimal expansion" uses the 0.999... = 1.0... shenanigan due to "Since neither x nor y exhibits only zeroes from a certain point on..."

Further, "Reportedly, Kronecker disagreed fundamentally with the thrust of Cantor’s work on set theory because, among other reasons, it asserted the existence of sets satisfying certain properties without giving examples of specific sets whose members satisfied these properties. Kronecker also only admitted mathematical concepts if they could be constructed in a finite number of steps from the natural numbers, which he took for a given." Kronecker was a constructivist?!

You can google "neck psychology" to verify.
Not if attracting the company is still net positive, i.e. they're still at least paying for the services they directly consume. Lowering the "net profit" from taxes on a company that otherwise wouldn't be in your jurisdiction doesn't cost you anything. There is nothing you could have otherwise spent the money on because there otherwise wouldn't have been any money to spend. At best you only lose a small amount by letting them leave.

But if you can get any gain at all then why is it being done for only one company rather than in general as a matter of policy?

It depends on which API the application uses to pass paths to the OS and whether its path handling library does internal parsing that is or is not aware of those prefixes.

For example rust has support[0] for the magical file path prefixes[1] that can be used to escape path length restrictions, reserved identifiers and some other limitations. This is used by default whenever you normalize a part, which means it has fewer restrictions than windows explorer has by default.

They say the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. I’d say the market wasn’t all that rational to begin with. At some level investing is a big game of chicken where you try to get out before everyone realizes how inflated it’s become.

Bold assertion.
@xte - I agree with you for the most part; however, I think there are some supply-and-demand considerations to be made. For example, companies who use esoteric or obsolete languages, where the workforce who knows that language inside and out is particularly small (a la Cobol programmers circa late 1990s), should expect to pay more. Where I live, because of the area being inundated with technology boot camps, there is an exorbitant number of JavaScript programmers. Since you can't breathe without huffing a JavaScript programmer, they tend to be paid less.

Also, some languages and applications require a higher degree of knowledge, training, and expertise than others. For example, I would expect to pay a programmer working in robotics more than I'd expect to pay a React or Angular developer.

Having grown up working in construction, I completely agree with your tool analogy though (and used the same analogy in another comment).

@gronne - About three times that, but close. ;)

I don't even own a Tesla (I rarely drive anything other than a bicycle) and I feel a strong urge to want to fuck up their vehicles.

The text before your quote is "since we cannot import haggis to the US our haggis for the US market is made in Bangor Maine" and the text immediately after is "all haggis made in the US except our haggis links is in an artificial casing".

In other words, you pointed to a source which confirms that it is possible to make and sell haggis domestically in the US.

According to the article:

"In his 1883 paper entitled Grundlagen einer allgemeinen Mannigfaltigkeitslehre (“Foundations of a General Theory of Manifolds”) he introduced a distinction between two infinities, the transfinite and the absolute:

"Transfinite numbers are numbers that are "infinite" in the sense that they are larger than all finite numbers, yet not necessarily absolutely infinite.

"The absolute infinite Ω, also introduced by Cantor, can be thought as a number which is bigger than any conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite."

I think having higher skilled people of all ages would remove this meme of <age> you'll be unemployable. I don't see a down side to having a more employable and educated work force, I do see a down side to the converse which is being played out at the moment imho.

The attitude of 'if everyone does well, then it makes my life harder' I find regrettable. Again, I suspect this is a minority view.

Edit: Imagine the situation where education is freely available, where people have a life long love of learning. Where companies allow their employees to go to classes of all sorts. Wouldn't that be a great world. The one we have now is sort of the opposite. The strange part is this could all be done now, all it takes is a political will. Damn commies I suppose.

I guess I should have been better at that statement. I’m not talking mentally disabled in the low iq sense, but more on a relativistic sense. I would wildly guess that consultants make up 25% or less of the workforce (really that’s an intuitive guess so it’s probably a lot more or less). Which would imply only around the top % to match that number (whatever it is) are even capable of being a consultant. And then you have to have the social/network skills, the ability to plan around uncertainty, the ability to shift industries if yours becomes automated or your knowledge falls too far from modern practices, etc.

Don’t get me wrong I’ve worked as a consultant and really enjoyed it. But I’m also young and I can take risks like that. I honestly fear for anyone who doesn’t have a severely privileged background attempting to make this a viable career alternative to traditional work. There are so so many gotchas.
The lowest dose found to have any effect in rats would be equivalent to eating ~5kg of uncooked flour per day, every day. I do not think many people eat anything remotely close to that amount of raw dough.
"Buy options" and "don't put this in to your passive retirement fund" are two very different levels of gloom-and-dooming. The market might actually become rational over the next 50+ years; there is such a thing as true information that can't be used to make money in any reasonable term. Another example of true information that can't be used to make money is information that is already priced in. Since this author is not exactly the first tech doomsayer I would be surprised if the future where everyone goes back to highway billboards is not already contributing to the price.
Doom was the first game that made me phisically lower my head when a rocket flew at me. Wolfenstein never had that effect. I also heard stories of people getting nauseated or even epileptical from Doom. Never from wolfenstein.

I think between these two, some barrier in believability was crossed. Part of it was technical, but the art and the darkness of Doom also made a big difference.

After the guy with the package has the girl who tried to steal come back to his porch, he tells her to get a job while weilding a gun and she lists off excuses why she doesn't. Perhaps she made excuses for her own self-preservation, but I feel like that part really shows how they practically live in different worlds. It's scary, and I know people who feel similarly to her. I wonder, what structures exist to help such people get into the workforce?

To be clear: I'm not excusing her actions (they were very deliberate and wrong), nor am I saying thieves are all just victims of circumstances. But I do think that bridging the gap between those two worlds would be helpful for both of them.
