It is a rarety now but there was a time when employers offered tuition reimbursement programs for higher education. Graduate programs such as business schools are really expensive, but were economically feasible if an employer covered the cost. This wasn't a free lunch program. Employees needed to stay with the firm for at least X years immediately following completion. You have to do whatever possible to keep the ship afloat. You also can't leave without incurring steep financial penalties. However, if you love your job and where you work, this is such a luxury to have.
Sure, we can label and categorize human behavior, but first you need to define what is normal.
A product called Tabnine[1] was discussed on Hacker News recently that supposedly does this.

Most of the neurological diseases have no conclusive and unique biomarkers or tests, and symptoms often not unique. There is not much can do to without scales with current knowledge
I am of the opinion the worst part about naming disorders is the holy hell some groups will have if what they suffer from is described as a mental disorder. Then you will get the other side of the coin where people self diagnose and that sets off a different chain of issues.

So it become six of one and a half dozen of another. For the benefit of the medical community yes we should name them or slot them into broad categories. For the public its best to probably just use broad categories

>Labels determine what mental models we use when trying to intercede in a problem. Different labels get very different reactions and treatment modes.

I think he ever-so-briefly touched on a different angle of that problem: "The psychoanalysts don’t like it because it ignores the “unique milieu of individuality.” The more biologically-oriented clinicians don’t like it because it ignores biology. The DSM lacks “validity,” they say. A diagnosis based on a combination of symptoms is, they might argue, like a constellation of stars — sure, you could reliably identify the Big Dipper, but no one would argue that the Big Dipper is a valid interstellar system. It’s just a name."

The problem is that the label matches no defined model; which is why I think that everyone dislikes it.

>I hate labels, but they are a useful communication tool.

Agreed but without the matching underlying models, they're just added toil; especially, if they're only "valid" in niche use-cases (such as clinical settings).

For example, we have a general idea of what Schizophrenia is but when it comes to the classification, diagnosis, and/or treatment, that's when we lose context. Schizophrenia isn't - implicitly - the same classification, diagnosis, and treatments across the board for every patient. So, effectively, you're coupling a large group of individuals under a very generic label, which has no effective model applied to it.

More than 2 players adds another level of complexity: alliances. Snake is a bit like Risk in that it's possible to attack a specific player while signalling intent.

We should expect any proper AI to read and understand the others and work out who should be avoided or ganged up on. Rock-Paper-Scissors tournaments have bots that use game moves to recognize eachother and then dump all their points onto a single player -- something similar could happen in Snake as well.

The way it is described (especially the emphasis on how variable substitution is used as the single primitive instead of many different techniques which can take years to learn - a phrase which is repeated many times on the website) suggests to me that accessibility to people who would not usually write proofs is a concern of the project. If it is not, the project might not be doing a good job of communicating its goals clearly.
Definitions are much too narrow, there is so much overlap, ultimately though therapeutic methods don't differ quite so wildly. The handful of conditions he was displaying are common differential diagnoses with very similar treatments.

However, there are stigmas attached to certain diagnoses and not their differentials so some people prefer less negative labels.

In my experience with world class psychiatrists your views are a little outdated, generally the more academic practitioners are much more like Dr Barron.

Not OP. For home, I'm using a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu on it, for office I use a MBP 15.

There are upsides and downsides to either of them. The Ubuntu is super snappy low latency desktop, it's a pleasure to type on it (running i3 as window manager); but the sound randomly disappears so much that I'm forced to use bluetooth speakers; and the backlight / network managers controls randomly stop working on upgrades. When I'm tinkering with stuff, I can hunt what's wrong and fix it, but when I'm working, I want stability.

So the MBP is the workhorse. But it struggles a lot with a high res external monitor connected via DisplayPort, and even worse, the UI starts to hiccup when I'm running a heavy load, like executing the test suite in parallel. The Linux scheduler is much better in this regard.
Too much documentation is definitely better than too little. But throwing all the documentation you have up front at a new user instead of having it tucked away where it can be easily browsed when needed can make for an intimidating first contact.
Sure, same here. However, I’m not talking about that tradeoff. I’m talking about organizing all the text a little better.
I wonder if this will increase or decrease the work-life balance of medical students after their initial training. The employer has quite the investment riding on successful medical practice by the doctors. The outside option for competitors is cheaper labor since less depreciation in the salary for the students loans. Seems like a big win for the students. You cannot contract effort only stimulate it.

>Sweden pushing itself as a good home for startups seem to largely correlate with becoming a worse place to live in, and therefor to a large extent be posturing.

This isn't, implicitly, true. For Stockholm, sure. What about a city like Växjö? Or Motala? There are very decent areas to live in Sweden, close to booming tech start-ups, and aren't suffering the same plights that the capital is seeing.

Admittedly, the points-system is a bit of a pain-in-the-ass and they seemed to have a plan for it, when it first started, for newcomers to the country; however, that plan doesn't work-out so well in the terms of today.

To point: Sweden, in general, doesn't suffer from all of the plights seen in Stockholm. If Stockholm is your goto, then by all means, you should be aware of them; but a larger portion of Sweden doesn't see the same problems (yet).

The 'ESPloit v2' [1] appears on USB as both a keyboard and a serial port, and any data sent on the serial port can be exfiltrated by the ESP8266 over its own wifi connection.

You can also imagine a loop where first you install a keyboard logger and exfiltrate the user's password, then later you want to update the exploit scripts to make use of the password. Or hell, maybe this is a prank product and having a wireless button to rickroll your victim on demand makes you laugh.

With that said, the first person to make a fake USB keyboard had a much bigger and more exciting trick than this incremental change.

Edit: Or to put it another way, this is like the NSA's "Cottonmouth" bug, which "will provide air-gap bridging, software persistence capability, 'in-field' re-programmability, and covert communications with a host software implant over USB" [2] but 10 years later and without charging a million dollars for 50 units.

Funny moment is that Canvas Defender extension for Chrome warns about fingerprinting on this very site :)
Thanks for laying out your reasoning here :)

However, I don’t think you have fully adressed the worrying point. The concern here is that good quality faking will become less expensive, thus, more faking will happen. Making it even just marginally more expensive means that there will be less faking overall (no matter the resources of actors) which is seen as good.

Thus, your argument towards more equitable access seems to have to explain, how it provides more value than the harm that may be caused by this dynamic, which would in my opinion require some argument for the potential good that could be done by this technology vs. the harm it could cause - which you haven‘t really done. Just arguing for the „balancing of scales“ doesn‘t go far enough.

For example, you can draw an analogy to weapons regulation. Just trying to balance the scales by giving people easy access to weapons has shown to not work too well in practice. The rich still have more money to buy better, bigger weapons or defenses while the poor shoot themselves almost regularly.

So, to make a convincing case for open sourcing this stuff you should provide a good argument for why we are not talking about weapons here but positive, productive goods with low potential for abuse.

Yes, if you drive around and suddenly your spring coil breaks making you swerve and hit someone else, that's still on you, even if you have followed the maintenance booklet precisely. You can't sue the manufacturer for that, they will just say the part has worn out and you were supposed to spot that(somehow, even though the law requires an annual inspection at best).

Yeah so the nest protect is, when you look at it objectively, a ceiling mounted general purpose remote sensing package. It’s basically only lacking a wide angle camera and I suspect that’s because they figured it would cross too far into “creepy” for it to be saleable.

It seems to me like a team sat for a while, looked at all the possible ways they could get people to mount a package like this in every room and settled on calling it a smoke alarm.

At the most optimistic they started with a smoke alarm and gradually realised they could build a general purpose platform based on the hardware being deployed in lots of rooms and many types of sensors being dirt cheap now.

Decided they could enable new capabilities (and data goldmines!) in software later.

It’s a pity there’s not an actually customer controlled version of it.

I think the analogy to species is misleading. While there are interesting edge cases, the basic idea that there are different kinds of animals is really obvious & clear: Sparrows don't try to mate with owls, seagulls, pigeons, let alone mice, earthworms & cockroaches. Instead with other sparrows, and produce more sparrows, which we can really confidently distinguish from owls, knowing just one of size/food/color/call would be enough. Nature is extremely clumpy here. Lots of points in the size/food/color/call space simply aren't occupied.

Maybe a better analogy would be to the informally defined neighbourhoods which exist in many cities. Everyone knows there's a Little Italy and a China Town, and could point out the main street of each. But whether or not an apartment three blocks away is or isn't in that neighbourhood gets pretty fuzzy, and depends a lot on what the realtor thinks you are looking for.
This is a fantastic list. Thank you for sharing.

> Note to readers, land speed not equal to air speed. As the article discusses it doesn't break the sound barrier.

Yes, but the first sentence is not why it did not break the sound barrier. They state it is due to being in swiftly moving air. The speed otherwise, even at airspeed (which is a negligible difference to ground speed) is fast enough to break the sound barrier.

I'm curious about the force/event before it got to our solar system. If the original object was protoplanetary, what kind of forces would be required to knock an object of this current size out of a stars gravitational hold, and into interstellar space? I'm guessing we can assume that due to the current size of this object, it would have had to have been part of a much larger event.
I think this page is written for that exact use case!

I understand that this is what the React team think. I am trying to explain that that page (and the other "getting started" level material on the current React site) is not necessarily working very well.

Maybe we're unusual, but among my professional network the overwhelming majority of React users do so with what now seems to be considered a custom tool chain, even if it's just "Bundler + Babel plugin for JSX". The first question everyone asks when they want to try out React, like any other new JS library or tool, is what they need to npm-install or yarn-install to get a minimal example going. And this information has now been hidden away several layers deep on the React site, as if it's an unusual use case.

Loading scripts from CDNs is fine for a very early experiment but quickly outgrown in production environments. There is create-react-app, but most people I know are sceptical about such tools and in any case it's debatable whether you want to start with scaffolding/framework tools if you're learning a new library for the first time and want to understand how it fits into everything else you're doing.

In short, the current site (and your reply here) seem to be predicated on a false dichotomy. Presumably you have access to better metrics than I do as a random individual and you know that most people really do fall into one of those two groups. All I can tell you is that almost no-one I know does, including those I have introduced to React myself in recent times.

Maybe it's just the curse of the modern JS world that everyone feels obligated to try to show how their individual tool or library works with 500 different other tools and libraries. Even so, there's probably a reason that almost every modern JS library's home page seems to have a screenshot with the words "npm install" in it above the fold.
How does that work?

I don't think asking job candidates out on dates is especially smart or professional, but the comments here seem backwards.

If a man asks a woman out on a date, that means he DOES want to spend more time with her ... like at work. Even if the woman were to say no, he might still want to give her the job, just because he likes her. This is discrimination to the woman's advantage should she choose to take it.

If a man refuses to hire another man because he'd rather hire a woman so he can try to date her, that means he does NOT want to spend time with that man. This is to the man's disadvantage.

There is clear discrimination in both these stories, against the men and in favour of the women. DoreenMichele may have felt she couldn't work with a man who asked her out on a date, but plenty of people do manage it. And of course men can ask women out on dates without perceiving them as "sex objects", that's itself a kind of bizarre assumption or even insult to men. Men and women date successfully all the time without objectification coming into it.
That's bad, but remember that every smartphone has a microphone built in ...

Given this was about a decade ago, there are probably better predictive models than whatever was in the demo he showed me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their model was a Markov chain where the size of each next-letter option was a function of probability.

Not at all. Only a small number of the people involved in this actually have PhDs (often in unrelated fields) and many of the most prolific contributors are undergrads who get involved via summer projects. If you're interested in internals, probably the best way to learn is to just join our slack (see julialang.org) and chat with all the developers.
