Everyone should use vector methods and shy away from transcendental functions to the extent possible.

It is usually (but not always) possible to reframe problems in such a way that exponentials (including sine/cosine/tangent) and logarithms (including arcsine, arctangent, ..) are unnecessary.

Vector methods are much faster, have fewer weird edge cases, are less subject to rounding error, etc.

As an example: if you want to store a planar vector, use a pair of coordinates instead of an angle measure and magnitude. If you want to store an 2d orientation or rotation, still use a pair of (x, y) coordinates on the unit circle instead of angle measure (which is a logarithmic quantity). If you want to reduce your pair of coordinates to a single number, use the stereographic projection, which only requires division.

For anyone interested in this extremely important point (that markets need a lot more than just enforcing contracts to work), two book recommendations:

* Rob Reich, _Saving Capitalism_ [1]

* Steven K Vogel, _Marketcraft_ [2]

What kinds of contracts can be enforced? How much personal liability people should have? Is bankruptcy allowed? and so on. All trade-offs between different groups, and there’s no one “free market” answer to any of them.

1) Users didn't ask for flat design
2) There's absolutely no evidence that flat design are better and there are evidence that they are worse

Yet I don't expect that UI will go back to 'classic UI', many of those who create UI care more about being perceived as modern (or more accurately not being perceived as outdated) than efficiency, so flat design will probably be replaced by another 'fashion driven design'..

Also, making it heavier is 1,000% necessary -- Courier has always been so anemic it can actually be difficult to read when printed (and Courier New is even worse). I don't know the history, but I've long wondered if it was because digital Courier was based on the (thin) metal typewriter letterforms, rather than the letters set to paper which would presumably have (thicker) bleed.

Now I just wonder if script readers will react "ooh, I don't know why but this looks nice" or "ugh, something's weird about this script but I can't tell what."
Perhaps I wasn't clear, but my comment wasn't really about agriculture specifically. What I meant was that you are able to make more in the Bay Area doing tech than doing tech in points outside of the Bay Area because of it being the centre of tech. Farmers are able to make more in rural areas than they would doing farming in the city because rural areas are the centre of agriculture. Farmers would not make more money farming in the Bay Area simply due to it being a densely populated area. Quite the opposite. They would take a massive pay cut if they tried.
I recall reading a study (years ago, so do not have a link at hand) that considered externalities of copyright and concluded that about 10-15 years would be a reasonable tradeoff between creators' and society's interests.

> Is there a way for people to learn to be good negotiators?

IMO, you learn it from the experts who are car dealerships. You can use them to practice haggling and learn their tricks but simply walk away. I must have done this for about 30 hours before I felt confident enough to haggle 'for real'. I must confess I love haggling to buy cars but this was many years ago.

> I recently just bought a new vehicle. I found the VIN I wanted, called up the dealership and asked for the Internet Sales Manager's email address. Sent a very short email saying I'm ready to buy a 2019 MAKE/MODEL in City, State. The dealership's website shows VIN in stock, is it still available? And without incentives, what is their best offer on that vehicle?

On my most recent vehicle purchase, we drove the SUVs to death (always saying we're test driving only and no sale today) and once we knew what we wanted we scoured online dealer inventories for the exact model and got the VIN. Negotiated the bottom line via email (including all fees, taxes, etc, everything) with internet sales person then when the number felt right we said we'd take that VIN vehicle for a test drive. Once we were satisfied we bought right there and then. We did the finance dance whereby I bought my prearranged financing but they beat that so I went with the dealer.

All in all, it was in and out in two hours compared to haggling which takes 6+ hours and I did that on a Saturday (albeit 20 years ago).

I don't know for sure, but I don't think Bandersnatch drove the Netflix interactivity work, rather vice versa. Charlie Brooker (whose previous work includes reviewing video games and TV shows, both of which underpin aspects of Bandersnatch, not least the name itself) is an obvious choice for Netflix to approach to see if this has wings, because if Brooker can't do anything with it, then it's not going to come off any better in someone else's hands. Also the Black Mirror anthology style means a misstep is easily forgiven / forgotten by fans. If you hate "San Junipero" (you are a weird person and don't deserve love) that doesn't taint "Nosedive" or "White Bear". If you found "Shut Up And Dance" too awful to think about, you can enjoy "Hang The DJ" or "The National Anthem" despite that. If "Bandersnatch" failed it wouldn't change anything else, at worst fans would be annoyed that time was wasted filming for Bandersnatch instead of some other episode.

Netflix had previously landed several less important interactive works in 2018, such as Puss in Boots, before attempting Bandersnatch. And this approach is effective at reducing bootlegging - there aren't existing tools that let "pirates" make an interactive video, so if you want the actual experience you'll be stumping up for Netflix. That means it helps underpin their financials.
FE/BE: Elixir/Phoenix which includes Brunch instead of Webpack/gulp. Also, yarn over npm where possible.

BE: Go, Erlang/Elixir, Pony, Crystal, Rust... take your pick. REPLs in compiled languages usually have to be faked but are still useful for experimentation. Get used to a good debugger like gdb or lldb, with a convenience layer like Voltron, and profiling tools: dtrace, gperf, valgrind.

BE svcs: EnvoyProxy, Nginx highly-customized, Redis, Postgres, CentOS containerized with Chef, Docker and Habitat... and no Kubernetes.

While it sounds nice (from a consumer's perspective) to have no copyright at all, it would prevent a lot of media from being made, e.g. expensive movies.

Eventually we figured out he was clicking a banner ad because it "looked like a button," far more so than the flat, actual download button. On a site like that, I often wonder whether it's entirely by design.

Most certainly yes. In fact, recognition of "false download buttons", and almost instinctively and subconsciously ignoring them in the same manner as banner ads, comes with experience such that there have been times when I've been confused by pages where the real download button looks exactly like the bloated fake ones that I've become accustomed to mentally filtering out. I find that when I'm looking to download something, I tend to go towards direct links that actually show a destination URL when you over over them, vs. buttons that don't.

Lessons from Running a Small-Scale Electronics Factory in My Guest Bedroom
All depends on the effect you are measuring. 20 can be enough if the effect measured is big (if you test an ebola cure on 10 contaminated persons and 10 of them survived, you have with a very high probability found something great). The real question is "Is the effect measured big enough to be signifiant with a sample size of 20" ?

A likely scenario is that, just as with mobile OSes or browsers, there will be effectively an oligarchy or cartel of approved FIDO device manufacturers, who will end up setting the rules to make it hard for new manufacturers to join the trusted set.

This is basically a huge coordination problem, and there are natural barriers to entry against becoming a globally accepted provider of hardware which websites are prepared to trust.

History has shown that, as long as a market appears to have two options, people will be content to choose the lesser or two evils rather than invest time and effort into changing the system to add more options.
No it is not, it incentivize users to leave inaccurate information as a form of making feature requests. An app that is highly useful and crucial to a users work flow, but is missing a certain feature is a 4 star to this user, but some people leave a 1-star to draw attention to the one feature they really want. A user who passionately wants a feature to be implemented clearly values this app more than 1 stars worth. The users who do this are holding the app rating hostage and I find this behavior utterly unethical.

> all incomes? are you seriously going to clam that incomes for tech workers and others of this

Tech workers make up, what, about 5% of the workforce at best? I know software developers only make up 0.8% of the workforce. We are talking about an exceedingly small group of people. And not all of them are doing well. There are a lot of low-paid tech workers around, especially if you look beyond the Bay Area and outside of software. The lowly network admin working at Mom and Pops in Nowheresville is probably not even making the median income.

In the US, about 35% of the population graduate with a four year college degree or more, and 45% with a two year degree or more. That is a lot of people. Practically half of the population. They are in no way they are all seeing their incomes rise (beyond inflation). Incomes are stagnant and have been for many decades.

There are always outliers who buck the mold, but on the whole incomes are not rising even for those with education. And why would they? It does not follow from any realistic economic model that incomes should increase.
Come to think of it, that may explain some of my serving sizes. When I eat at Subway, I always take the 6" size and it satiates me. When I eat a pizza, I eat the whole thing and I'm not satiated before I've finished it, even though it's vastly more filling than a 6" sub.

Most of the good things in the modern world come from repurposed military technology - microwaves, computers, space exploration, satellites, GPS, modern mining & construction techniques, jet travel, interstate highways, antibiotics, synthetic rubber, encryption, the Internet.

While I get why some people don't want to work on things that could potentially be used for evil, the dividing line between good and evil is often a lot blurrier in hindsight than it seems in the moment. Many of the most valuable technologies (see above) have come from the desire to kill people and not be killed in return, while many of the ideas that have killed the most people (communism, Nazism, eugenics, manifest destiny, crusades) have come from the desire to make a more perfect world.

If the market isn’t sigficanlty large so that 144 people will pay 99 cents a year for the app (the minimum requirement to cover the developer’s cost) than the application is probably not tested and developed to a high enough standard that I want to run it on my cell.

This answer makes sense.

I suppose my question is more along the lines of, if someone is specializing in deep learning in a PhD program then shouldn’t they at the very least be able to implement models and also know optimization tricks?

In other words shouldn’t they be able to develop enough skills to go deep in one area but also know enough to be dangerous in the other three domains?

It certainly doesn’t mean they can’t request that it be taken down (there are plenty of examples of companies requesting take downs for things they don’t have the copyright to, or infringed on the copyright themselves, only to turn around and request take down). It also doesn’t prevent deals between Disney and YouTube to prevent public domain works which Disney doesn’t want uploaded from being taken down (e.g. the first sale doctrine allows me to sell DVDs I own, but Amazon restricts DVD selling to only sellers with distribution/wholesaling agreements).
That is actually the limited copyright position.

I too wish everything in medicine was cut and dry. But oftentimes precise numbers are unavailable. More qualitative reasoning such as "high risk," "serious morbidity or mortality" is usually given in medical assessments. Plans are developed based off that assessment. Doctors and patients routinely make well-considered decisions and get consent knowing that exact numbers aren't known. On the other hand, many treatments (pharmaceuticals and screening being 2 major ones) are backed by very reliable studies where numbers are known.

> How should I design my services/infrastructure to be able to easily retrieve all personal information related to a user?

Details depend on implementation. Might be just a simple API/DB call or more. IIRC your DB data should be encrypted, RDS supports encryption at rest out of the box.

> Are the data points collected by the sensors considered personal information (and thus must be deleted when the user terminate its account)?

If, by retrieving them, a user can be identified then yes. Can you use an UUID and control the info on the AWS side?

A common pattern is to use an envelop encryption scheme (like KMS for instance) and instead of actually deleting the data, you delete the key. This way, the data cannot be decrypted and is considered lost/deleted.

Special care should be taken in order to design your DB in a way to support deletion and data retrieval.
Except that even if you use your own paper currency, you have to pay taxes in your country's oficial currency. Taxes are usually a significant amount of every transaction. So, the new system will very quickly bleed out.
