I'd completely agree with you here about the ideal of education being meant to expand your mind and teaching one to think critically. But this is where we might begin to diverge a bit. Is this really happening in modern times? Do you associate fresh graduates with anything like critical thinking and breadth (let alone depth) of views and understanding?

We could blame this on our educational institutions of course. And I'd agree that our institutions have changed. But this gets into the question of why have they changed? And I think there we get back to the initial issue. As we see vastly more people pursuing post-secondary education, it means that the demographic of your average student is changing. Systems that worked and produced a certain tier of student when dealing with top e.g. 2% of society, cannot reasonably be expected to achieve the same or comparable results when dealing with more than 30% of society.

This is what made me ask the question. In principle I cannot disagree with the notion that an educated population is a good thing. But in practice, universities are seemingly giving it their all to make me rethink this view.
Would be interested to see an implementation.
That prevalent stereotype exists, because it makes it easier to convict inconvenient people with fabricated evidence.

Need to make a quota? need to sweep some freaks off the street? Smear some hard drives with data and then kick the door down.

Haul the loser fu jour infront of a jury, hold up a plastic baggie, with your HDD prop inside, make up an indefensible story, and explain to the jurors that they don’t even want to know what’s found on that device.

And all in a day’s work. Keeping the streets safe from... ones and zeros on magnetic media.
While that on principal is true, as an average citizen, digging into whether or not Netflix actually did something illegal is logistically impossible (not to mention requires skill very few outside of private industry-tax-optimization has).

Looking at a successful company like Netflix, boasting massive profits and growing fast while paying no taxes is a reasonable proxy for something not being right.

Either Netflix is doing something wrong (and the public needs to take action) or the system is broken (and the public needs to take action).

In either case, anger and discussion is in its place
I read the article. It barely scratches the surface of the issue, I was mad as a psychology student that this was the state of our knowledge when I read it in 2013 and didn't know about the publication crisis. The actual academic publication is really interesting and I'd recommend it as a read on whatever commute you're on.

Here is the link:

https://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/handle/document/42104...

Years after pondering this article, I felt I had figured it out: psychology is secretly the study of particular subset of 18 to 21 year old American women. The ones who study psychology because it's a female dominated study and all those psych students need their credit and 'participating' in research is part of it. Most of them are American because psychology is a bigger thing in the US than in Europe, or at least it seemed to be regarding well-known theories, so I presume most research happens there.

There is another big group. A lot of dead mice (neuroscience).
Yeah, as someone who generally winds up rewriting the mess that you wrote for everyone in the room, I really wish you'd pay more attention to the outcome in the end.

Even worse for the users. In this analogy, if startups are cannon fodder, users/customers are the blood that gets spilled.

Startups really should have this written on a tin: "We're are experiments to our investors. Our product is an experiment to us. We do not care about you, or helping you, and we will not change the world; our regular marketing copy is just straight-faced lie. The entire stack, from us up to investors' investors, are all running experiments on how to make money fastest."

Now, I'm (somewhat) fine with this. Let experimenters do experimenting. I just hate that the whole ecosystem is consistently lying to regular people.

The data download is much more helpful and complete - shows two ad actions of "action": "closed ad" within the past 2 weeks, one of which I would have been asleep. It confirms they don't have my phone or any other alternate email, other than the @facebook.com address they auto-generate for everyone. I'm thinking now that maybe someone realized that Facebook did this and set out to grab usernames via the graph and added emails to their list that contained username@facebook.com. Best theory at the moment since that sounds exactly like something a growth hacker would come up with. The data download doesn't tell you which email address the advertisers provided from their list, which would settle this pretty quick.
Implicit narrative?
See if you can't get a steel armored fiber cable, try to get the ones that are essentially a cable wrapped in a thin narrow sheet of steel.
They are pretty common for electric cables to prevent accidental damage and to prevent rats from chewing through the cables.

Alternatively there are nail polishes for sale that are supposed to stop nail biting by being very bitter tasting, maybe monkeys also find the compound very bitter if you coat the cable?
If dropbox is passable, please point at the alternative with the same features and better perfs.

I'd say it's just a hard problem.

After all, the fs routines in python are all written in c, file watching uses the os api such as inotify, so python speed has little impact on those operations. Same for the gui. Same for the network since you only have a few connections to one server.

Dropbox doesn't even index the file content, so basically not many stri g or numerical operations. I've got 15 years of python behind me, and i'm pretty good at guessing what workload it's going to be slow at. This is not one of those.

Many people tried to compete with dropbox. None of them won, because eventually, their software either can't match the features, the perfs, the availability, the price, or the ease of use.

I should know, i tried to escape dropbox, as i don't like the company ethic stance, and tried many alterntive.

Dropbox is just very, very good.
It is more akin to holding a user base hostage; if I were a company with a bug bounty program I would permanently ban Linus Henze from participating. This is highly unprofessional behavior.

LOL! You are asking the right person, because I used to work on both Chinese and English speech recognition systems, including the first large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system to deal well with Chinese tones. I can say they are essentially the same phenomenon under the hood, although linguists haven't grappled with this reality yet apparently.

However, I don't have any more evidence than you do, just my assertions to yours. So I'll wrap up with a fitting quote from Frederick Jelinek: "Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of the speech recognizer goes up."
It's really not that bad once you get your head around it. Thanks to it you can do some pretty neat things.

I find myself sometimes wishing that Rust genuinely didn’t have globals. There are some things where it’d cause pain, and some places where I’m not sure what you’d replace it with (lazy_static, for example), but I find that Rust actually makes it too easy to do globals and thus have unexpected side-effects (e.g. command line arguments, environment variables, working directory—I would genuinely prefer these things to be passed to main for me to use at my discretion), although in most places the culture is against using them, which saves it from being too much of a problem. Yet still, strict functional purity can open up some delightful optimisations and avoid various bugs, just like how putting error handling into the type signatures helps clarify things and avoid all kinds of bugs. I’d like to see what Rust would be like with even fewer, or no, globals.

This blew my mind coming to Japan for the first time, coming from a European country full of castle ruins people have decided to keep in-tact, not restore - similar to the Ise Grand Shrine described in OP's article, most 'old' castles around Japan are relatively new.

Kagoshima Castle was built in 1601, but burned down several times since. Kumamoto Castle was rebuilt in concrete in 1960. It's hard to say whether these are copies, the attention to rebuilding is painstaking. Kumamoto Castle suffered heavily in the last earthquake and is still closed. I saw a documentary on how they used old pictures of the stone pile walls to number the stones on the ground, so that they could pile them back up (replacing some) exactly the way they were piled up before...

I don't know a big react project that doesn't bring in a massive ecosystem with it. Standard is at least a complex webpack setup with a store and a routing lib.

But more than that, react based code has a lot of indirections, requires a lot of pieces of the puzzle to figure out what's going on, and projects have so many different styles and layout you never feel at home when you switch.

The best exemple is jsx. Not only you need a transpiler, not only do you mix in the same place representation and behavior, but the code looks like either spagetthi inlines, or, if you are lucky, a list of many references you suddenly gotta check up somewhere else.

The thing is, with classes, you have a little guidance on where goes what, and people still manage to screw that up. With hooks it's free for all, with caveats, so reading somebody else's code is going to get extra fun.

I've had deep fried crickets and deep fried mealy worms. I think its was the preparation that put me off them.

The crickets tasted/felt like semi crunchy shells. Not very enjoyable to eat and the after effect was lumps of ground up shell in my teeth.. meh

The mealy worms were not quite as bad as the crickets but waaaay overpowered by the herbs and stuff mixed in with them.

I'm also very much anti deep fried anything so I'd really like to try them prepped another way.

A comment was deleted, which said,

> For the same reason we don’t eat grass. We get them preprocessed by other animals and then eat them instead because they are tastier.

The reason we don’t eat grass is because our digestive system can’t really absorb much energy from it. Eating grass requires a very specialized digestive system, and we just don’t have those specializations.

The reason grass isn’t tasty is because our taste has coevolved with our digestive system so things we can digest are tasty.

Bugs are tasty. We can get nutrients from bugs. Do you like breadcrumbs on your macaroni and cheese? Try ants instead. They give the same crunch and a similar texture, but a bit of a different flavor. I think it’s a nice contrast to the load of soft carbs and fat in macaroni and cheese.

That said, I’m still going to use breadcrumbs. I’m just not that adventurous. Bugs are treated as novelties, not food, in mainstream US culture. If they’re not part of your tradition, you end up making a big deal out of them.
Scratchapixel is a really comprehensive resource. I referred to it frequently while working on a 2-day workshop on writing a raytracer.

What I've always found missing are resources that cover both the foundational theory and the implementation details, in a way that connects the two ends. That's why, when developing that workshop, I created a resource that goes over the theory of raytracing--including the relevant math--and walks you through a series of practical projects.

I put up the resource online: https://avik-das.github.io/build-your-own-raytracer

> what is happening today is that the market has almost entirely turned into a betting machine. Not only that, it’s a machine for betting on a horse race in which it’s possible to cash your winning ticket long before the race has actually finished. In the past, entrepreneurs got rich when their companies succeeded and were able to sell shares to the public markets. Increasingly, though, investors are allowing insiders to sell their stock much earlier than that. And even when companies do reach the point of a public offering, these days, many of them still have no profits. According to University of Florida finance professor Jay Ritter, 76% of all IPOs in 2017 were for companies with no profits. By October 2018, the percentage was 83%, exceeding even the 81% seen right before the dotcom bust in 2000.

I thought the end of the article had some of the most interesting content. Amazing how many companies IPO without being profitable!
I had a total of 4 advertisers remaining on mine (if anything I'm doing better than most). Audi, a local real estate group, a betting agency, and an airline/frequent-flyer account. Obviously I don't want and didn't volunteer my details used for use by any of these for advertising or tracking purposes.

The frequent flyer group have just taken it from my membership details.

I don't bet, but I've worked as a statistician, so there's probably some connection there with past probability and modelling work or getting odds from these sites.

The real estate group I'm guessing is from contact details given while looking for houses that they've used without my explicit permission.

Audi is interesting because I've never had a car in my name, and haven't had one in my household for several years. Haven't so much as stepped in a car dealership. I'm guessing they must have bought(stole?) it from a rental or car-share company database...or a marketing list somewhere, but its certainly not from anything I've done first hand.
> Trait A is that the numbers have a certain kind of similarity in their spacing, leading to few unique sums. Trait B is that they have a certain kind of similarity in their factors, leading to few unique products.

This is an excellent way to describe it. I had the sense that “of course the geometric sequences will collide more when multiplying” but if you asked me “why?” I would have trouble explaining. So thanks.

As far as finding a set that has an equal number of distinct sums and products, would it be possible to come up with a sequence that’s “half”-arithmetic and “half”-geometric?
Me too. I have a facebook@mydomain email address that I only use to log into Facebook and my "advertisers who use a contact list" has all those same car dealerships (and no other advertisers). There must be one company that paid Facebook for email addresses and then resold them to auto dealerships.

TL;DR they swindled your contact info from users, purchased it and/or traded for it.

>This info was collected by the advertiser or their partner.

Why do you think so many apps want to extract your phone contact list if not to sell?
Have you ever given that phone number out, even if only to one friend or relative? If your name and phone # are saved in their smartphone contact list, they may have been using a smartphone with an adware OS designed by the largest data monitizer on earth bundled with additional spyware preinstalled from the manufacturer, service provider, plus 10 of the highest bidders. Those advertisers could have bought it from your cc issuer, merchant, loyalty card issuer, car dealership or bank as part of a bundle with your transaction history. It could have come with a location history package from your mobile service provider or it could have come compliments of Equifax.

Sure, it could have been collected way back in 2017 or whenever while FB was still giving the data out for free. There are plenty of totally innocent explainations...

If it turns out next month that those 1,147 advertisers are all just Alphabet companies and the contact list was uploaded by their partner, Facebook, you'll sure feel stupid for jumping to conclusions. /s
