Is it possible that neurosurgeons don't actually have a higher rate of Alzheimer's Disease, but just get correctly diagnosed more often than the general population? I suspect a lot of poor people with limited access to health care die of that disease but it never gets labeled or recorded. But neurosurgeons can recognize their own symptoms and generally have access to the best possible care.

The only way to be sure would be to perform detailed autopsies on a large random sample of the population.
Insulin doesn't turn sugar into fat. It causes cells to uptake nutrients, including glucose, to be used as fuel. Only the liver converts sugar into fat, and the effect is pretty minimal, on the order of a few grams of fat per day (outside of a hyper-caloric diet).
You're easily offended, but not because anything unfair has been written about you. Your experience is important to you but not to this thread.

If you had tried to enlighten a discussion of e.g. an African-American executive at a tech firm with a similarly bizarre anecdote, you would have gotten far more complaints. The excuse you've given here, "I just haven't known many black people!", wouldn't count for much either.

Cool that they do this although fundamentally subscribe to the point of view advocated by Tom Scott in "Why Electronic Voting is a BAD Idea" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI which argues that it's hard to scale up an large-scale attack against paper-based systems among other things.
I think this is only a problem when working unplugged. I have visual studio code sitting idle all the time and it really doesn't seem to slow down my system. It generally only uses about 500MB of RAM with two windows open with multiple tabs on each. I have 16GB of RAM but thats not much compared to today's standards.

Sublime text using 300mb of RAM is a little odd. Generally in my case, its uses around 20-25MB with 50+ tabs opened.
Lenovo ThinkPad T480s running Xubuntu 18.04. It's considerably less expensive than X1 Carbon while being just slightly thicker and heavier, with more expansion option (mine has 24 GB RAM). That said, I'm now thinking about upgrading, and have been eyeing the new X1 Extreme.

Yes, you are right. The files can only be accessible when your computers (desktop or laptop) are on.

Do you see any usecase for this tool?
The problem is that the amount you need to teach someone in order to explain all the intricacies of a complex subject like cryptography means that it is otherwise completely impenetrable without making some inaccurate simplifications.

There’s a similar problem in physics - schools still teach Newton’s laws, even though they are wrong - because they are a sufficient approximation for many uses.

The problem is of course when people assume what they’ve learnt at that early level is sufficient to work with at a level that is above their knowledge - but I’m not sure what the solution to that is.
I fixed the NixOS package, it works fine now.

The Arch AUR package is also fine.

Lastly, you can go the Quicklisp route (which is a Common Lisp package manager, equivalent to pip or gem). That works fine too and is distribution independent.
Not so sure. Netflix wants you to think at the end of the month that you got a good value for your subscription cost. So people often mentally calculate how much of their free time is consumed watching Netflix. A lot of people probably compare the Netflix cost and hours consumed to what those dollars would get on iTunes or at the movie theater. It’s why Netflix often goes for 10 hour programs instead of 1-2 hour movies.

It’s why HBO is not even a serious competitor to Netflix, even though they tend to focus more on quality instead of quantity.

It’s all about taking your time. Netflix even says their main competitor is something like Fortnite, which again, consumes a lot of your time.
I suspect what they would actually do is calculate if shipping them back to their own warehouse and selling the rest of the inventory online would make sense. But I think what they've really done is tighten up their own logistics (and marketing periods) to avoid shipping too many extra items out to the stores in the first place. I remember clearance sales being much bigger back in the day.

Today's clearance is probably still being sold above the incremental production cost, with a rebate from the manufacturer since it wasn't sold at full price. It doesn't matter that they're technically leaving some money on the table - their core business is moving "fresh" stuff at higher markups.

Cache-Control headers already do a better job of solving that problem https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ca...
The elephant in the room is the lack of true dynamic pricing in SaaS. Dynamic pricing optimizes value capture and at the same time unlocks more value to users who otherwise would be stuck in the free tier. Of course, dynamic pricing is not easy to implement and might result in perceived price unfairness. But done right, you can immediately increase your revenue and drastically reduce the number of free users. True dynamic pricing involves a mechanism, such as the Vickery auction, to measure a user's maximum willingness-to-pay instead of A/B testing different price points. In an ideal world, every active user pays a portion of their maximum willingness-to-pay (perceived value).

Disclaimer: I'm the co-founder of Veylinx, a platform to measure maximum willingness-to-pay of users.
It's interesting the degree to which people will defend their fruit juice drinking in this thread. I wonder if it's a mild form of addiction.

I used to drink a lot of OJ when I was still under the illusion it was healthy to do so. Simply stopping that I lost about 15 pounds without changing anything else. It was tough at first, I really craved it and it was a daily habit. It's turned out to be the biggest health improvement I've made in recent years.
Yeah, people were addicted to cable television too and some spent inordinate amount of hours in front of the boob tube. Is YouTube fundamentally different? Because it's able to serve more specific content to users? Maybe. Maybe some are prone to addiction regardless.
I find Ghostery (in combination with uBO and uM) useful for identifying the purpose of many of the things blocked so I can selectively unblock where appropriate.
Is there any chance that we could reach new physics with a linear collider instead of a circular collider?

If there is, then I have an idea to get funding. Build it above ground along the US/Mexican border, so that it could also serve as the wall President Trump wants built.
Well, that depends on your personal economic philosophy.
NVIDIA GPUs on Linux are used by GPGPU data center customers, rendering data center customers, weird cryptocurrency miners, and then a tiny number of everyone else. The everyone else is predominantly certified RedHat / CentOS or Ubuntu animation and engineering Linux applications users. Then finally people who install Linux on their NVIDIA equipped laptops and desktops.

The last group is so vanishingly small. They’re neither a meaningful number of users nor a meaning number of payers.

Linux should do its best to support word of mouth evangelists with the best user experience possible, because even though free software evangelism is definitely viral, retention favors convenience over all other factors when the price is zero.

But this has always been about ego. Jensen Huang thinks he’s the biggest hot shot in the world, and that culture pervades his company. But Linux is going to be around a lot longer than somebody’s game rendering coprocessors.

I’d appeal to humility, not some meaningless details about APIs. Definitely not a business case.
Native advertising, yep, explains also why browsing around the Netflix interface auto-plays everything and you cannot turn it off. That is Netflix’s internal ad space and it’s very valuable.
I am 23, just got my first real job and this has been on my mind as well. Although its early (I have been programming unprofessionally for 10 years),what track I want to go Senior or Principal based on the author's definition. Do I want to be the one who knows the tech stack from the back of my hand or managing people to move the overall goals of the company. Although the author says both roles involves people, at the end of the day the only way to become a better engineer is working on hard problems in the trenches. So the more you manage people the more you lose time "crafting" your skill. It's based on the individual pref, but right now I am at that crossroads.
I came here for exactly this comment.

Thank you.
Bump driven systems suffer from the problem that half the posts are simply people posting the word "bump" in order to drive the parent post higher up on the list.

Interesting, I didn’t know that it varied by county. Man what a complicated system we’ve got.
No, it's not. People have a right to vote. As with criminal prosecutions, the standard should be very high to remove that right from someone - mistakes are a big deal.

In some states, the standard for purging has been intentionally made overly strict - "Hyphenated-Name" doesn't match the "Hyphenated Name" the state has on file, so they get purged. It helps when the Secretary of State making the rules is also running for Governor:

> Minority voters are more likely statistically to have names with hyphens or suffixes or other punctuation that can make it more difficult to match their name in databases, experts noted. That makes them more likely to get caught up in the "exact match" law.
For what it's worth, I (British) think it sounds fine. It's the sort of thing I can imagine myself or a number of my friends saying. Very probably a cultural thing.
>This isn't a debate

It's a public discussion of an important matter, and these tend to go best when people present arguments based on their positions. When someone like you fails to do this, then I tend to assume that it is because they lack such.

edit: here is a link from below that is an example of such an argument: https://slate.com/technology/2019/01/large-hadron-collider-f...
The Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome Wayland session works well on nouveau. (I've used one consumer card from 2010 or so and a pro card from 2013 or so. Also tried a newer pro card that nouveau didn't support, regardless of Wayland. In that case, the easiest solution was to remove the card and buy AMD.)
High fructose consumption has its own set of health problems. There is still a lot of glucose in fruits. There is usually a large difference in glycemic index for whole/juiced fruits. Soda being mostly high fructose corn syrup still has a tremendous glycemic load.

I'm sure you read the article being discussed in this subthread (https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/debunking-voter-fraud...) -- it makes the same distinction.
Are there concerns of vote selling? Or mechanisms to prevent it?
Right, fruit > juice > soda, and the gap between juice and soda is as high or higher than the gap between fruit and juice. To say juice is only a little better than fruit is to say fruit is only a little better than juice. If you have access to fresh fruit, great, but not everyone does and having juice might be better than no fruit products at all.
>Surprised I had to explain this, though.

I'm surprised you even think taking such shortcuts has any bearing to wether Wayland is secure.

People that "become dangerously knowledgeable and apply workarounds to make things more convenient, such as allowing no password with sudo" should not have much expectations for security.

The same way if you leave your front door open in a street level inner city apartment, don't be surprised to be robbed.
There is a clear health benefit to eating vegetables over chips and not overeating.

The effects of binging television are less clear, especially when it’s accepted in advertising that binging television is OK. Look at all the Comcast ads that celebrate binge watching.

At least with food advertising it’s been tamped down a bit. Lays potato chips used to have “bet you can’t eat just one” like it was some sort of a drug pusher.
If you can get your hands on a pineapple orange, they are truly Florida’s finest IMHO. Also they were synonymous with juice oranges in earlier times before they switched to Valencia oranges. Unfortunately the trees are very susceptible to disease, or so I hear.
"To answer that, let’s first define a U. A U is 10x10x10 cm cube of space from which cubesats derive their name"

On the one hand I know what you mean: I know practically no category theory (basically I know enough to expect "co" as a prefix to mean "everything the other way around"), but I can still produce good Haskell code.

But on the other hand, I look at some of the stuff Edward Kmett has produced, particularly his lens library which I use all the time, and its very obvious that the design has been informed by a deep knowledge of category theory.
AI-Driven Dermatology Could Leave Dark-Skinned Patients Behind (2018)
I was thinking specifically of the AI/ML folks. Many top researchers from universities, google, open ai, fair, etc. are super active online. I don't think they do it for career visibility.
In my experience on forums posting bumps is frowned upon. The ordering is then based on activity and presumably interest.

8K users on a site about gaming. Doesn’t include RHEL/CentOS in its distribution chart. Way too myopic of a sample to even declare NVIDIA usage on Linux is dropping. For all we know it could be that new users are signing up that don’t have NVIDIA hardware, it doesn’t show a shift away from NVIDIA.

I know that your comment is about games, but over in the professional CG/VFX and AI/ML spaces, AMD is rarely touched. For both workstations and server racks.
In these org structures where Principal Engineer has significant say in technical decision making but no reports:
a) are they (at least potentially) 'tech lead';
b) who is the manager of the rest of the engineers on the team?

My only experience is with a full technical ladder being available, but the team technical leadership being the same as the team people management.

Interesting article on why this is a problem, some effects that this "attention sapping" has had on the labor force and how it alters the traditional labor-supply curve, and a somewhat fun proposal to "tax media companies for the hours of human attention they consume".

Or by a power flicker. Which can be caused by plugging in other devices too.

You don't necessarily have to allow new writes, the more important part is preserving writes the application thinks already happened. But that could be useful too.

You have the partition serial number too, usually.

Hmm. Most of their European SREs who keep the service up and running are in Dublin, alongside most of their European customer support, European accountants, European legal team.

Arguably, they contribute quite a lot to the success of the service.

If they weren't there, would the service have made as much inroad compared to if they weren't.

So, arguably, their presence is _very_ material.

Also, you're missing the point of the single EU market.

Ultimately, it's a game of assignment and they chose to assign their sales(& IP?) to the country that was most attractive to them.

when convieniences are affected thats one thing but when it goes into potentially life threatening or extremely destructive, like the IoT refrigerators [~7000] found to have a default password, prone to mal usage such as remotely putteing them all into THAW mode, thats a black eye.
Please lets find some way of purging the default password, and developing a non damaging default mode that persists during power or command & control outages.

Unfortunately landlords want to skrimp on utilities so, they lock thermostats and hot water tank shunts away in a service chase or closet. Ive lived in a place like this as a kid and it was always freezing in winter and luke warm showers had to be supplemented with stove top hot water.
"I hear that a lot in the US (never elsewhere), but the only people in bad shape are those who abuse fat food and sodas. I’ve never seen anyone obese from drinking too much fruit juice alone."

You need to point your gaze downward. There are a great many children in the US who are given a sippy full of apple juice every waking minute of their lives - and they have the body mass to go with it. I'm sure they all graduate to soda or "sports drinks" by the time they're in your field of view.
> I want the window manager to be the one deciding where windows are positioned

It still can, the client merely gives size hints. It is entirely up to the window manager whether it honours them.
Author here.

I think that's a fair comment, but, what I would say is:

The goal of a meeting with Jeff (or other senior leader at Amazon) is to make a high-quality decision on something that is generally non-obvious and involves complicated issues and significant risks. (If the answer to the decision at hand were obvious, the issues were simple, and the risks were limited, you'd just make the decision as a working team and move on (potentially with a email to your boss and other people who care, to let them know).

And, since (virtually) all meetings at Amazon use documents to accomplish the above goals, "not sucking at meetings with Jeff Bezos [and other senior execs]" is almost isomorphic to "writing a good Amazon document."

Your title is definitely catchier, though (sincerely!), so thanks for making me connect the above dots.
>One tiny mistake leads you to a lifetime of suspension to a service vital to almost any business.

One sometimes needs a lawyer to deal with the complexity of government laws. It seems like soon there will be a small thriving job market for "googlawyers" -- people who will earn they bread and butter by getting through the Google's bureaucracy.

https://medium.com/@francois.chollet/what-worries-me-about-a...

Everyone carries a set of basic assumptions about how the human system works, like what's acceptable public behavior, how the government should be run (which affects who you vote for), expectations about how certain people will act, etc.

These assumptions are based on the information we take in each day, like articles read, images viewed/scrolled past, and so on. We ARE our media diets, whether we want to admit it or not.

Our opinions are formed slowly, they change slowly, and there are several well known "bugs" in human thought patterns that make us tend to prefer an echo chamber and reject information that doesn't line up with held beliefs.

AI enables fine-tuned control of exactly what assumptions people gain and maintain. What happens if YouTube silently starts recommending PragerU videos to all the millions of high schoolers that match the "impressionable" profile? What would that do to the basic expectations of the citizenry about what the "right" kind of government and tax system is?

What if the platform was used to convince everyone that annual slavery reparations must be made in perpetuity?

No one wants to admit that ads work on them, but we all know they work in general. So how much of what you know is true, was fed to you? In a world where everything we consume runs through relatively black-box algorithms (black-box to us outsiders, anyway), how much of our knowledge and beliefs are our own?

Guess I'm getting myself down the rabbit hole here. There's no easy answers anywhere. I think it's only a matter of time until we get our own Ozymandias.
