Understanding the math and doing the calculations are two different things. Most kids rail against math because they don't see a practical application, not that it's being done for them; everyone knows that in the real world, the vast majority of non-trivial math is done by computers.

Clarence Thomas Declares War on the Idea of a Free Press
Sure, it will be a tough sell, but the incentive should be less stressed, healthy, happy employees that deliver the same productive output as their 5 day week counterparts. It's a competetve advantage on the job market for employers.
This is the correct answer. There're tons of microparticles of radioactive monzonite (and other radioactive minerals) in the dirt. And if you're near a granite body, you will show even higher levels of radiation.

There's a picture that gets re-posted on LinkedIn periodically of Netflix's CTO Reed Hastings captioned with a quote attributed to him: "Do not tolerate brilliant jerks. The cost to teamwork is too high." Although this is the sort of feel-good positive fluff that is perfect LinkedIn-bait, I can't help but notice that the people who re-post it and re-share it tend to be people who I remember personally as being mostly just regular jerks. Look, I know better than to characterize myself as "brilliant" on the internet (and I honestly don't think I am, although I do think I'm competent), two things I indisputably am are educated and experienced. Since the subjective words "talented" and "brilliant" and "rockstar" are usually used as a stand-in for the more objective but contentious terms educated and experienced, I can't help but think that somewhere in the back of their minds, they're including me in their list. The people in my network who re-post this platitude usually didn't like me very much because they found themselves in a sticky situation that they expected me to be able to get them out of. When you're educated and experienced, but you still can't solve somebody's crisis on the spot, they don't think, "oh, well, I was asking a lot", they think, "he could have helped me, but he didn't because he's a jerk who thinks he's too good for me".

so much bullshit to force new abusive legislation. at least they avoided "think of the children"itis

nothing on this topic is new. laws for wire fraud and money laundry already lay a foundation for prosecuting international crimes. the problem is one of three groups (us-eu-jp-au, Russia, China) selectively enforcing prosecution for whatever reasons. new legislation will change nothing.
“Let There Be Peace ” – A System to Deal with Online Information Overwhelm
I have been through LCA some years back before I called bullshit on H1B and immigrated to Canada for good. For LCA, the advertisement was done on a local newspaper which no one reads and the job was posted on the company pantry notice board with a broad confusing salary range 65K - 130K. It was also posted on the company's career page where no one could find it easily. The employer that I worked for was a top 10. They were just playing the system to bring in cheap H1B workers on chains.

LMIA on the other hand, has advertisement requirements like LCA and a transition plan as well. They are particularly strict on the transition plan including one of which is assisting the worker for permanent residence !

It’s OK to Chase the Money
I’m not saying that the business PC isn’t relevant. It’s just not profitable. If you haven’t noticed, none of the PC makers are actually doing all that well. Cheap $60 Android phones and $100 crappy Android tablets are popular but I don’t think Apple is going to be chasing that market either. Besides games, only two companies are making any real money selling PC software Microsoft and Adobe.
For me the author can be considered a supplier instead of a customer. Maybe they don't have a legal contract stating the business relationship. But the business owner is using both the software and support of the author. That it is free shouldn't make a difference here.
This is one of those things that makes it difficult to replicate the traffic safety of the Netherlands elsewhere...drivers are just way more aware of and respectful of cyclists in their environment. It's cultural.
Both are true. A PhD program is a great way to find a chunk of time to dedicate to a problem for a few years. At the same time, we've had contributors who were in high school when they started, through GSoC, and just generally interested folks in the community. On the other end, we've had tenured professors and even retired professors contributing to Julia.

Eventually, it boils down to two things. Find a problem that you want to work on and engage in the community as one-more-minute points out. Second, find a way to support that - PhD, an interested employer, a university, a grant, or perhaps you have are just well off and can do whatever you want!
1. I wasn't a professional and had no ability to act like a professional while creating quotes or selling my services. 2.

Example: a person is being singled out by manager and assigned the junk work and not supported. Other employees start using the black sheep as a scapegoat and “othering” them. Scapegoat is unskilled at interpersonal conflict, has few personal boundaries. They start drinking or otherwise coping, because overall they like their job. After 2 years they’re laid off and nobody reaches out to them or responds. Is the laid off employee toxic? Perhaps. Were there ignored warning signs? Is that toxic?

Lots of nuance in judgement. Most people feel toxicity, but there are strong incentives to maintain situational homeostasis and capitalize on others’ blind spots.

Personally I’ve dumped a lot of that programming and am looking for non-judgemental and discerning workplaces, like I remember from early in my career. Hopefully not a pipe dream.

Is anybody else surprised that a 20 person company has the resources and prioritization to create something like this?
This is a pretty clickbait-y title. Bitcoin is the original use case for the blockchain, the most important use case, and possibly the only use case.

Most of what we hear hyped as blockchain products aren't public; they're just inefficient versions of private databases which defeat the whole purpose of having a blockchain.

Blockchains existed before bitcoin. Bitcoin came about because a safe digital currency is something humanity actually needs. Is there another blockchain product that we really need?

The most popular distributed app is Cryptokitties. I rest my case.
Sure, but overdoing it and confusing labels and abstractions with the things they represent can also keep a human from being more aware of the world and their deeds in it. I gladly reject the label "women in tech", but mostly because I actually do reject the label "tech" (and all stemming from that) to begin with, that's an umbrella so huge as to be meaningless. It's like "business", yeah I know what it is, just like I know what "technology" means, for any sensible use of these words, there's a million occurances where it's just padding at best, a cloak at worst, precisely a tool to not accurately model the real world, but a platonic simplified one that is easier to navigate than the infinitely fuzzy mess reality is.
No Images, Only CSS
This is a point that has been mentioned in many of the articles on this subject lately, and one of the research programs I read about is measuring exactly this. They took a bunch of volunteers and counted the number of bugs on their windshields after driving a certain distance to estimate the flying insect population in that area. And yes, there is a huge reduction in population. The more concerning statistic is that insect populations are also plummeting in remote rain forests with no pesticide use.
What to Do About the New Subprime Boom
True but we could do what nobody else in the world could do. We had chat, file sharing, forums, multiplayer games and more before everybody else. BBSers felt like the elite and nobody else understood it.

There was a low barrier to entry. Anyone could start a BBS. Since there were so few, any new BBS would have a flood of new users, making them successfully very quickly.

The slowness created an exciting anticipation.
It's worth noting that medical schools aren't accredited until they graduate their first class (after 4 years), and during that time their students don't quality for private student loans, so they have to take out private ones (i.e. worst of both worlds).

Offering free tuition to their early classes has the double benefit of free tuition and the avoidance of an unusually shitty loan situation for their students. Given the fact about accreditation, I think a program like this should be standard for new medical schools.

"the total mass of local flying insects had fallen by 80 percent in three decades"

Ok, but what if it is now back at the 'norm' and there were just too many insects all those times?

Do we know what the norm is?

I must agree that the quick loss of so many insects does not sound normal. But we also know that insects can swarm very quickly and become a pest in good conditions.

With climate change we have a lot of data from even thousands of years ago, so we have some feeling about the 'norm'.

Does a norm for the total mass of flying insects exist?
If you read the whole thing, they evaluated both, and found that v7 is actually far worse than v4.

> The top audiences for Logan were actually a combination of superhero (which we already knew) and “rugged male action lead” (which we didn’t know with certainty). This can be better seen by noting that key “rugged male action lead” predictions like The Magnificent Seven (in blue above), John Wick (in green above) and Terminator Genisys (in blue above) were also present in the top 20 list of actual audiences. This result is a win-win because the new audience “adds” to the core superhero audience, and can potentially be used to extend the reach of the movie beyond that core audience.

I wish they'd include saturation and release dates as factors as I'm sure releasing a new rugged make lead superhero movie every week would have diminishing returns at some point.

I am sorry but I do not buy this "added to backlog and forgot" theory, especially for a resources-packed company like Google. Are you implying that everyone from PM to devs to QA all ignored the microphone sitting in there? All electronics needs to be compliance tested at a gov labs in Northeast (Baltimore area) because of electromagnetic signature since Nest devices have WiFi. Are you saying even they forgot to bring it up as well?

If profit is not the priority, there's a lot of things a company can do. To be honest, from our own experience of scaling up the company, the years between 0-10 employees were the most difficult ones. Now, 7 years later running an established company with a great reputation and 20 excellent team members leaves a lot of room for experiments and doing things like this.

What Product Managers Can Learn from Marketers about Using Analytics
The Actor model sounds really great, and while I haven't used Erlang in a serious context, I have used Scala Akka Actors extensively and I find them very difficult to reason about. Actors might be great if you have a huge system over the network that you need to manage, but I don't find them that great for single computer programs.

For example, I tried to implement a Akka bittorrent client and found it very difficult and confusing. You end up with a big graph of actors in which most of the messages sent are related to keeping track of state and actors.

Moreover, actors are untyped so it's not obvious what messages they accept of send. Without a lot of documentation and discipline, the code becomes extremely unreadable very very quickly. Also bugs are very hard to find and very easy to create.

Maybe it's less elegant, but for a lot of problems, just using select or epoll is a lot easier.

I agree, what we should do is apply even greater amounts of pesticides to certain countries while letting others try to fight ecological collapse. then in a hundred years we can see who is right and who is dead.
This is not because hens are getting more vicious, is because they live crowded.

We had positively selected chicken for agressivity since 1000 years, we have sumatrans, aseels, old english game, cubalayas, the most vicious animals possible for generations and generations of people. All of these are really terrible layers.

There is a lot of variability in character also between different individuals from the same chicken race.
Agreed. Would be nice to know if it's trending for a good or a bad reason. Links back to HN and Reddit would help with that.

The same in Michigan. I remember as a kid we took long trips and our car was absolutely covered with bugs. As an adult I took the same trips and barely any splattered bugs.
Well, at that point, my kitchen counter was Formica over plywood, so not much of a radiation source. But I did test my wife's Mexican pottery, and some pretty enamelwork and art glass. Freaked her too ;)

But yes, much granite does contain substantial K-40 (as do we) and some (probably less than 10%) is a substantial source of radon. Also thoron, but it's too short-lived to accumulate. You can buy test kits designed to measure radon production rate from surfaces. The radon gets captured on activated charcoal. You return the kit(s) to the provider, and they send you results.
The OP is right about the Disneyland connection; it's more than a resemblance.

The Wuppertal train was the inspiration for Murel Goodell's Trailblazer, the first commercial monorail in the United States and the first modern monorail anywhere. Instead of steel wheels and rails, Goodell used rubber tires on a concrete beam.

His first design was suspended like the Schwebebahn, but his investor, Axel Lennart Wenner-Gren preferred a straddle-beam type where the train sits atop the rail instead of underneath it. Goodell's second generation design is what was installed at Disneyland (and Las Vegas, and Tokyo, and China, etc.). It was named ALWEG as an acronym of the investor's name.

I'm in the process of building the Goodell Monorail Museum website to lay out this history in more detail with some terrific archival documents and photos that haven't been seen in 50 years.

Over what time scale? Over the history of the planet, the norm is probably close to zero as they only evolved 400 million years ago.

I don't think we particularly care about that, though. What we care about is what the death of insects means in terms of the ability of plants to continue to propagate since we like need to eat them to survive.

I don't care if the password manager is secure against local attacks, because the average user will still be vulnerable without extensive security policies. Sure, there's the "anything is better than nothing" argument, but if we're just throwing darts at the wall, deciding which dart board is nicer isn't going to affect your score.

If you can read local memory, you can probably write to (at least other) memory, and then it's a short hop to content injection and session hijacking. Erasing key material from memory or preventing its misuse then only seems useful against cold boot attacks.
