Except there isn't.

But we have that in math and logic: axioms!

That we do not know is a fact; but is it a fact that we can never know?

Funny, just ran into it for the first time doing my research. Do you use their hosting or your own? Why did you choose it over Flurry et al? Are you pleased with it?
> I perceived (and I thought many other people did also) as Sanders running more on economic issues (equality, taxes, etc) and Hillary running more on social justice issues (deplorables, "woman card", equal pay, immigration, racial justice, etc)

Most of the notable Democratic candidates are running far more heavily on economic issues than Clinton was, and even the more centrist ones like Gillibrand are campaigning on things that in 2016 were Sanders-exclusive signatures, like Medicare for All. Clinton may have won the 2016 nomination, but Sanders was a lot more influential on the trajectory of the party.
Equality of opportunity over equality of outcome is such a contrived argument. Equality of opportunity is arguably harder as it implies a just society. What are you willing to give for equality of opportunity? Higher taxes? More liberal zoning? Desegregated busing? Affirmative Action?
And you're a liar refusing to provide me with an actual proper citation or resource. If these are easily verifiable facts, then I would expect you could find me a reputable climatologist that debunks the claims made. Neither of us are climatologists and can make claims as to whether or not someone nitpicking an incredibly tiny portion of a paper (which has more data corroborating the growth in temperature) invalidates the whole thing.

I have long learned not to trust climate skeptics to debate in good faith. So please, provide a proper source.
No, GPS measurements are taken as receiver distance from orbiting satellites whose orbits are calculated in a 3-D+t inertial reference frame (ECI), which is then converted to an earth-centered-earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate. From there an end user devices can transform to desired Datum reference (a model of the Earth's surface) depending on the application. Everything about GPS is inherently 3D+t.
You want it to make pew! pew! noises don’t you?

Kind of proves my point that there are no easy categories. I used millionaire as a catch-all term but you can substitute hundred-millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire, or any subset of each and the point still stands.

Then this entire exchange was meaningless. In the absence of free will nothing matters. Nihilism at its finest.

I get what you're saying, but the faster your connection speed is the easier it is to inadvertently use more data. With my carrier if you hit the monthly limit they throttle you to 128Kbps, which is basically unusable. However, they offer a plan that's capped to 3Mbps all the time, which is fast enough for virtually everything I need and makes it much harder to hit the monthly data cap.

I actually prefer always getting 3Mbps any time I want to use my phone compared to the more expensive plan which might get 30-50Mbps... until you hit your cap and you're throttled to 128Kbps. (But, as you'd imagine, if I'm A-OK with 3Mbps, I have a hard time seeing what benefit 5G brings me.)

On the same note, highly recommend "Being Mortal", which talks a lot about that mindset and palliative care. It can be really damaging to think in terms of winners and losers since you might end up going through a lot more pain than necessary. It can be really beneficial for everyone involved to readjust goals and make the best out of the situation. Dying is part of life, and we need to be better at accepting and dealing with it.
I'm not claiming that if something exists (haemoglobin), we must have a notion of it and true statements about it in every universe.

Rather: if we have a notion of something and statements about it in every universe, then it must exist. However, come to think of it, that's bonkers.

Still, it's remarkable that mathematics allows us to make reproducible true statements about fictional objects.

Not discounting this, but someone that thinks comparing to Jeff Bezos to Adolf Hitler is either legitimate or merits public attribution is bringing their own issues to the table, and is likely not telling us the whole story.

It significantly increases the risk of blood borne pathogens.
Sweden made a government report on the teaching profession a few years ago and just like male dominated professions they found that the minority gender, men in this case, left the profession in a significant higher rate in ever stage from when they are a student to being a stable employee for decades. While the study did not look at newly parents, I would make the guess a similar effect but likely smaller since day care is paid by the state in Sweden.

I like common theories in order to explain similar data, so what theory can we make in order to explain why being a minority gender, for example women in science and men in the teaching profession, both tend to leave their positions in greater rate than the majority gender? A lack of support from family members and communities? I find that possible but a bit grim given how universal gender segregation is with about 90% of all employed here in Sweden.

Yes, that's important for portable performance, but not with ATLAS. Unless it's improved since I last tried, it's generally slower than OpenBLAS (or BLIS, by extension) and doesn't do dynamic dispatch on the micro-architecture like OpenBLAS and BLIS -- currently on x86_64 and also aarch64 with OpenBLAS. (To deal with small matrices (on x86_64 only) you want libxsmm backed by OpenBLAS or BLIS.) From previous experience I'd guess BLIS' new generic C micro-kernel for GEMM will beat ATLAS with recent GCC vectorizing it.
Note in the case of GEMM, the most important part of BLAS, vectorizing is only really relevant after you've restructured it.
Perhaps I'm missing the more grandiose point, but I think his message is simple: digital computing is a handy abstraction for humans who like to count, but computing is essentially analog.

Wow, thanks for jogging a lot of childhood memories.

I was much younger, and didn't know how to "think competitively" back when I played Tribes (or Tribes 2. I'm looking at the Wiki pages and I'm having issues distinguishing my memories between the two games). I pretty much was the guy who logged into servers, played as if it were "Deathmatch" (even though the flag was important and stuff), and eventually left without telling anybody. If there was a n00b staring at a console or something irrelevant, that was probably me.

Its a little intimidating for me to think of going back to this game, where the community has been honing their skills for the last 20 years :-)

Still, I'll probably check it out. Thanks for the info.
You're hypothesizing an additional axis of question variation, "Romance-Germanic", in addition to the well-known axis "difficulty". Do we have any reason other than this anecdote to believe this other axis actually exists for GRE? Why wouldn't easy Romance questions be sorted in with easy Germanic questions?
The big irony is that this happened much more in liberal California than it did in conservative Ohio and South Carolina.

Not sure where you've come up with this bizarre and selective understanding of US history. Ohio is notorious for racially-based restrictive covenants on housing. There were entire neighborhoods where deeds had restrictions preventing their sale to blacks. They got the idea from southern states like South Carolina. These restrictions are still on many of the deeds in Ohio and South Carolina, though they are no longer legally enforceable.

It's from a USA-based newspaper. I hate imperial with a passion, but it is still their backarsed standard. Surely anyone with a scientific bent can do a rough calculation in their head. For me, it was "oh, around 1300 km/h, cool" and moved on...
And what happened? My understanding of German labor laws is that, for any reasonably sized German company, there would be a workers council that would have to approve work level changes like this. Did that happen?
It significantly increases the risk of blood borne pathogens
The study you linked has nothing to do with gender or diversity w.r.t. minorities. It's subject is economic geography.

We can be pretty confident that if 50% of the population are women then 50% of the best candidates for a given job, by natural aptitude, are women. The same logic applies to minorities as well, so we can be confident that any process calibrated to finding the best person for the job is going to turn up a diverse workforce.

However, once policies designed to enforce diversity come in to play, that correlation will be broken and you just have a sexist/racist/whatever hiring system.
Paying for blood significantly increases the risk of blood borne pathogens.
> Given the assumptions the example is obviously correct. What if there are 8 amazing men and 2 amazing women but quotas dictate to hire 50/50?

Discussions about quotas are separate from discussions about how discriminatory practices limit hiring pools, and how discriminatory workplace environments decrease the overall level of talent at an organization.

(For what it is worth, the same reasoning being discussed here is why professional sports teams figured out long ago that racism was bad for business.)

Mathematically, if there is a labor shortage, then cutting out part of the hiring pool based on criteria that are not correlated with the qualifications of candidates, will always result in worse hiring decisions being made.

If there is a surplus of talented labor then whoever is doing the hiring can be pretty much as nasty as they want to be and still form a team of pretty good caliber.
Plus you can resell the tools when you're done. When I finished my basement, I bought a drywall lift that was around $100. Doing any sort of drywall without a lift is not easy, especially if you don't have a helper. When I was done with drywall, I was able to sell it on Craigslist for the original purchase price. I could have rented one, but that would have put time constraints on its use.
Probably because it matters where the air was before. Stuff like: north wind is could, south wind is warm, west wind is humid, etc
When I was growing up, the mantra was "reduce, reuse, recycle". The order was important. It was one of those government promoted national sayings in Australia, along with 'slip slop slap'.

Unfortunately my current impression is that there is a strange blindness to these first two: reducing waste in the first place seems ignored if the item is recycable. And if you couldn't avoid packaging, choosing to use that item again makes no difference - just recycle it!

It is like 'recycle' has some ultimate environmental positive power on people's attitude. If something is recycled, or recyclable, we don't need to worry about anything else. Quite concerning.
I was accepted to a PhD in both economics and math, yet I had to turn them down due to being a parent of two small children. My wife stays at home with them, thus reducing my salary to a TA wasn't feasible for 4 - 6 years.

Sorry to be pedantic as this is often incorrect: King county was NOT named after MLK Jr, but rather changed recently from referring to Rufus King to MLK Jr. I had mistakenly believed this too before I learnt about our history.

Flexible Precomputation for Verification Checks
That game is super addicting. You will need a mouse. You will have fun testing out various bait-and-switch moves you can use to get noobs. Once you get good enough to make it into the top 10, everyone starts trying to kill you and it becomes exponentially more difficult to stay alive. I used to edit the script to increase my event-out rate a little bit to give me an edge, but I'm not sure it worked, seeing as the server could just throttle the events anyway. Once your snake gets long enough, you can enclose other snakes in a loop and torture them as they face their impending demise. Fun times.
Reading through some of the past posts, he seems to have quite a stoic view of his situation (saying he's 'along for the ride'). Indeed, there's nothing he can do about it, it makes no sense to stress about it. I hope I'm able to feel similarly when it comes time for me.
So much, this.
It's hard to know what near is and what the timeline is.

This article digs into some historical evidence of this:
https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/BEtzRE2M5m9YEAQpX/there-s-no...

From the post:

"Two: History shows that for the general public, and even for scientists not in a key inner circle, and even for scientists in that key circle, it is very often the case that key technological developments still seem decades away, five years before they show up.

In 1901, two years before helping build the first heavier-than-air flyer, Wilbur Wright told his brother that powered flight was fifty years away.

In 1939, three years before he personally oversaw the first critical chain reaction in a pile of uranium bricks, Enrico Fermi voiced 90% confidence that it was impossible to use uranium to sustain a fission chain reaction. I believe Fermi also said a year after that, aka two years before the denouement, that if net power from fission was even possible (as he then granted some greater plausibility) then it would be fifty years off; but for this I neglected to keep the citation.

And of course if you're not the Wright Brothers or Enrico Fermi, you will be even more surprised. Most of the world learned that atomic weapons were now a thing when they woke up to the headlines about Hiroshima. There were esteemed intellectuals saying four years after the Wright Flyer that heavier-than-air flight was impossible, because knowledge propagated more slowly back then."

Maybe it's hundreds of years out, but maybe it's not. Since it's hard to know probably better to try and work on the safety aspects now.

Cake.co Offers Smart Web Panels, While Twitter's UI Doesn't
Nope. The latest seller reviews has 80 other people that also received fake tracking in the last 30 days. Amazon's response is that they asked the seller to prove they shipped it or refunded me. That was 2 weeks ago and apparently Amazon is still "investigating". You would think a quick check of the tracking, look at recent seller reviews, lack of response from the seller would be an open and shut case. Apparently the seller is smarter than we all thought and knows something about this process with Amazon and the effort to get our money back. Can't imagine they don't up with something in the end.

I think the counting is natural to human. The corresponding theory op used is not natural. If one has to use that, one start to use writing to do correspondence. Or use shell/good/coin.

That is for +integer.

Not sure about how natural is real number other than pi using geometry. And irrational also use geometry.

Use algebra and group-ring-field is very late.

There used to be many ways to escape and start over. There was no ID, or if there was it was easy to forge. Debts, crimes, families, all of the good and bad in your life could be wiped away in a new city with a new name. Sometimes even free land would be granted just for moving to the middle of nowhere.

It is now impossible to escape your past, and this has both good and bad parts. Obviously victims of crimes and lenders prefer it, but something has been lost when there is no place to get a fresh start.

One reason to believe it (or more specifically, to believe the correlation between the Romance-Germanic axis and the difficulty axis is not zero) is that easier / more common vocabulary is often Germanic and harder / more literary vocabulary is often Romance, as a result of the origins of social classes and an intentional desire to use Romance words (or straight-up import Latin words) among those of higher learning / standing. That's the claim of several comments in this thread.
I'm not actually claiming that all mixing is bad, but the general "just dump it all into one bin" style of appeal to consumers' convenience is the problem. Along with the mixing, we saw widespread advocacy that people just recycle thoughtlessly.

Encouraging such carelessness gives a false impression about the whole system, encourages ignorance…

It's one thing for single-stream to be feasible in terms of a mix of clean paper, plastic containers, and metal. It's another thing to discourage consumer thoughtfulness and end up with all manner of plastics, strange mixes of rules in different municipalities, and tons of problematic contamination — all of which could have been avoided if we didn't aim to make recycling a mindless activity.

Obviously the real problem is the externalizing of the whole waste cost from the manufacturers. If we could make all manufacturers pay for all the recycling and environmental costs, they'd change their products to be more recyclable and less wasteful.
If the engines are level, then none of the thrust is generating lift; the wings generate the lift (and with it some corresponding drag).

Disclaimer: I currently work at Amazon as an SDM (I do not speak for the company). I've also worked a lot of other places. In my experience, bad managers can happen anywhere.

I'm not going to take sides since all we have is a story told by an ex-employee who has every reason to be spiteful toward his former employer. The other side of this story is one we'll likely never hear.

I do want to comment on the visa aspect of this (sounds like he's on an EB3). I have worked with and managed visa-holding engineers who've been passed over for promotions or otherwise discriminated against because of their visa status (not at Amazon). Certain kinds of promotions can run the risk of a visa holder getting their visa rejected. Many things a company might do to improve the circumstances of a regular employee runs the risk of triggering a visa re-evaluation. More often than not the company will play it safe so the employee doesn't run the risk of getting deported. That can involve denying them promotions or "unofficially" giving it to them (all the responsibility but no title). It's systemic discrimination, and the worst part is it has the "best interests" of the visa holder at heart.

Personally, I tried to counter this kind of discrimination by making the employee aware of the situation and the risk, then asking what they would like me to do. Usually, though, my influence is limited and I get blocked by HR and legal.

If this story didn't happen to a visa holder, it would be a simple story of "just go somewhere else," but I can understand how helpless these people must feel.
