To be fair, the linked article contains no science ;-) It certainly contains none of the science that you are describing. It's an appeal to authority. 4 out of 5 dentists recommend chewing gum after dinner. You're taking a particularly bad article and using it as a launching pad for describing your own issues which are only related by topic.

I'm writing this not to slap your hand, but in hopes that you can get to a point where all your posts aren't down voted ;-). Your message is not cohesive enough to follow. If you pick and choose which thing to talk about more carefully, I think you will find that you will get a much more responsive audience.

For example, in this case, the original article was absolutely rubbish. The only apparent reason one can see for it being on the front page is because it had the "right" headline. Nobody needs that kind of thing. People like me who feel that the science shows that we need to change our lifestyles for our future prosperity don't need this. People like you who (seemingly) feel that the science shows that we don't need to change our lifestyles don't need it. We're on the same side. Don't waste that opportunity!

A rant against the world is very satisfying, but it's not very effective. You will possibly pick up other disenfranchised people, but I don't think it will go much further. Instead, I recommend trying to respond with laser precision and discuss individual problems without bringing in all the other baggage. This time would be a good time to talk about how they are quoting scientists who are talking about conclusions with virtually nothing to explain what those conclusions are about. Perhaps you can say that we shouldn't be using such terrible journalism as input into important political dialog. Such an insight will be valuable for everybody. Another time, if real science is described, you can discuss problems with statistical techniques, etc, etc. Again, it will benefit everyone. Ideally, I would suggest that you attempt to downplay your own political agenda (everyone has one!). You have your own preferred outcome, but if you don't stress it, you have a much better chance that people with the opposite viewpoint will feel welcome enough to read what you have to write. From there, they may start to think that they should revisit their own position.

Anyway, I hope that proves helpful to you. I was reading your posts and really felt bad for your situation, which is why I decided to reply. Maybe the advice won't be good for you, but I hope it's worth thinking about.
Sometimes there is a trade off in designing these levels. When players can "brute force" the solution in certain levels, they can proceed without taking away the lesson they were supposed to. Since there is only 16 permutations for the answer of the first level, having to select the combination is "brute force protection". But its obviously also not good if it turns more experienced players off
Berlin has no singular city center and certainly no CBD.
When governments worldwide accept that climate change is doing avoidable harm, it is the ostriches who not only bury their heads in the sand but also ask of others to do so that peddle poison.
Why? What deep problems have been solved? How will this make our children better?
I didn't think of that. Sounds like a good idea!
I work at Starbucks and I completely disagree with this article (as it pertains to Starbucks). Starbucks has a partnership with Spotify, all employees get a free Spotify account. Every Starbucks has an iPhone used to handle inventory & play the store music. This iPhone has the Spotify app installed and a fairly large collection of Starbucks playlists which accrue over time. Each playlist varies in size but some are quite large, e.g. the "Chill" playlist is likely over 50 songs. Moreover, I consider myself a hipster when it comes to music and can tell that each of these playlists has been curated in the same manner as Apple playlists, by using people "in the know". What that means is that many songs are extremely new and underground. A good example of this are songs like "High 5" by Sigrid, or "Lucky Girl" by Fazerdaze listed when they're released. So, any employee (at least at my store and those in the surrounding area) can simply change the playlist at any time. Don't like the Hamilton playlist?, go change it to the "Dinner Party" playlist. Not only can we change the playlist, we can simply use our own iPhone and play are own playlists with our free Spotify account (as long as it doesn't contain profanity). The one gripe I have is that some songs on the Starbucks playlists are completely inappropriate such as "Get Out" by CHVRCHES. If you haven't heard this song, go listen to it on Youtube and figure out why this is an awkward song to play around customers. So, imo Starbucks likely has the most lenient music policy of similar shops as well as the best music selection.
I am familiar with the expression "no publicity is bad publicity" but... honestly pushing your product in these sorts of swill advertising venues seems like it's in danger of building up customer distrust and anger.
He publicly bragged. That's not "less than overly cautious" behaviour. That's flat out arrogance.
Nobody's claiming the annualized number is a lie. The claim is the original post is wrongly saying 500k total for the year and wasn't run past someone else like Musk promised he would for all Tesla related statements.
Tesla's legal already said they didn't approve the first tweet, but they worked with him on the correction that was posted 4 hours later. Wonder if that's why their general counsel quit again...
Did it though? At least microsoft usually managed to parse ftp and html dirindexes.
The bugs they had in their webdav clients (see link in parent post) was something else... incorrect/lacking xml entity handling that almost indicates substr'ing for "&amp;" instead of using a real parser, and converting percent-escaped utf8 to percent-escaped latin1..?! You almost have to try to sabotage on purpose to get bugs like these.
Glad you posted this but that article is a bit user-hostile even for math wikipedia. The relevant paper is relatively approachable if you're a mathematical tourist.

I'd really like it if we had as much reporting on the slow long-term changes as we have media that focusses on single events in the last 24 hours.

Prepared statements actually work fine with PGBouncer. Anonymous prepared statements via PqExecParams work completely without issue. No need to go back to escaping and putting params in the query string!

Named prepared statements via PREPARE also work, but the client needs to use deterministic names and rescue if the query isn’t prepared: https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/issues/1028#issuecomment...

As others have pointed out, the issue is the SEC settlement that Musk agreed to. But to your question, yes, I think what he tweeted was bad, for a CEO and an engineer. The number he stated is literally off by 20%. How can you say what he did was an “honest mistake”, as if an engineer can’t be expected to know basic arithmetic? Or a CEO not to know that the peak rate of production per week is not the same as annual rate? Musk has all the info
needed to make an accurate and still impressive claim — he chose to exaggerate. And he chose to do it after knowing the terms of the SEC settlement.
The Guardian article by Hickel is misinforming readers.

Hickel just wants attention for himself. Nothing else.

He does not care about the steps the world's poorest have made. Yes, small steps, but it's important and it's awful to spread misinformation like he does.

(Also, for The Guardian he chose the headline 'Bill Gates says poverty is decreasing. He couldn’t be more wrong' and elsewhere Hickel is acknowledging that this is not true and is contradicting himself: https://www.cgdev.org/blog/12-things-we-can-agree-about-glob...)
Well, yeah. Obviously they are important.
Thank you for the bug report. That one sounds hard for me to fix but I am sure I will see it eventually and then fix it.

But I am very happy you liked it :)
I have been trying to find out for a long time now why more people don't use object databases, so thanks for this post.

You mean it would take 60,000 people one minute? Doable.
Research firms mine it, then sell the raw or value-added (analyzed) data to hedge funds. Some hedge funds (like Two Sigma) build out teams/divisions internally which are dedicated to this kind of data mining.
Admittedly, I missed that. I thought this was a server lib.
The same thing happened to me
Will that truly be undistorted? At the levels of scale in the energy sector, there might be a profitable incentive to distort the market. Use FUD against the issuers so that most would not care to invest, then manipulate whatever is left.
A number is the process of selecting a point out of infinite possibilities on a number line. Life is the process of selecting things out of not quite infinite possibilities but unimaginably large. These things are similar when you look at them like this, and numbers are richer than the real world, because they aren't finite.

Ha, "pause the video"... What you meant to say was "pause the video and gas".

> Dear <CUSTOMER NAME>,

> Your gas filling experience has been subsidized by our advertising partners (though of course the price went up 10% because we have to build tech to support this), as a result we are currently unable to supply gasoline while the pump based advertising is not being observed. You may contact your local gas station attendant but sadly due to our desire to comply with <HIPAA/other unrelated regulation> they will be unable to abort the ad servicing. Please be aware that the Terms of Service for this pump may change without warning and that by using our gas pump you have agreed to purchase at least one item featured in the advertising roll - failure to do so will be considered a breach of contract and may result in a fine of up to $100,000.

And... it might be a bit hard to enforce the breach of contract portion, but pretty sure everything else in that is legal in today's world.
In December I took a trip to southern California, and it struck me as really bizarre to have these songs on local radio repeatedly mentioning snow when it was a relaxed 70°F (≈21°C) on Christmas Day.
This might be a problem though for some people/projects: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4807:7mk...

I wonder how/why this happened...

Assuming they'll still make movies afterwards.
Cost of life in USA has gone up significantly since then and hence people are willing to put up with unreasonable and super expensive safety mechanisms which bloat the entire project. USA could however use immigrants in such projects with lower safety standards, something that most middle easterns countries and our very close allies like Saudi Arabia has been doing.

Take above paragraph with a pinch of salt please.

Seriously speaking, large government projects are less about people and more about misplaced priorities of politicians. California's rail project was absolutely nonsensical and horribly bloated. Why do we even need a high speed train between Merced and Bakersfield ? For cows ?

American private entrepreneurs are dreaming big. Those big dreams however are getting realized only in areas government has not yet killed off with ultra crazy regulations. Elon Musk alone is doing it with Giga Factory, SpaceX and Teslas. Amazon through entering healthcare. Google is doing it through Google brain and so on. There might not be huge structures built with human sacrifice but the efforts gone into them are nevertheless equally spectacular.

America is building far bigger thing that benefits even the poor person in remote village of India instead of dams and trains. You just need to look at right locations. Also America doing it without risking lives of workers.
Only the most burnt skin is shed. The UV light penetrates further layers.
I wouldn't pay much mind to the public positions of governments, particularly when there's money on the line. Nothing is simple in geopolitics.
My standard measure for such claims is to ask myself whether I would believe someone from 1900 making the same predictions about present day.

Anything larger than a time scale of 5 to 10 years (maybe 20 at the very high end) is just people making predictions that they aren't going to be around to collect on.

Reminds me of the original 7th day adventists, who were sure they knew the day Jesus was coming back. They sold everything and lo and behold, Jesus didn't come back. So what did they do? Back to the drawing board and re-run the calculations.

Instead of following the data and seeing what the conclusion should be, people get caught up on picking their conclusion and doing their damnedest to make the data support it.
I think our ancestors lived in the full sun of the African savannah a lot more than the forest, and even in northern Europe, hunter gatherers were killing meat-on-the-hoof (mammoth, wild horse, etc.) so they were running about in the open a lot.

However, the change in exposure is surely true. I'm just not at all convinced that complete shielding from UV is a better choice than occasional UV.

Until recently, children would run around outside a lot during the summer, even in urban environments, and especially in suburban or rural ones.
Yes, I also had the same issue with Chrome 72 on Android. Probably saved myself some shame though.
This tweet was not an edit to a pre-approved communication. That rule is irrelevant.

The argument is not "this tweet got approved before, so I can edit it however I want". The argument is "the number is already public information, so I can make a new post mentioning it".
More or less proving your point, the ownCloud client changed it's requirements, and Davros hasn't worked with it in a while. :(

Oh, I did not consider that. Actually I think I will let people change the different colors in the settings since there are so many combinations of color blindness and I am having a hard time making it not look ugly in the first place.

But I have considered and may make the first level more clear in its objective. Although the whole game is challenging, there just is no way for you to discover how the whole computer works by yourself if I can't expect you to do certain things.

But yes, Zachtronics game closest to this is probably Shenzhen IO
The hand-drawn figures are a nice touch.
NYC population, he meant.

Berlin is overall smaller than before WW2. And it shows, the place is really empty and spacious compared to comparably attractive cities.

The issue is that Berlin people like it that way. They don't want high rise buildings, let alone skyscrapers. They want their local "Kiez" culture, where you live, eat, meet and have everything around your house. Berlin doesn't have a CBD, and it doesn't have a real city center. It has many equivalent ones. It's like a huge collection of villages.

Berlin is different from Paris or London, and certainly NYC, most importantly in that it is not cramped. There are numerous huge empty buildings and free areas right around the geographical center.
The issue is not space. The issue is buildings.

Building in Berlin is difficult. It needs to be pretty and fit the area, its spaces need to be open to the public or accessible, it needs to provide public infrastructure and provide for kindergartens, doctors offices etc, it can not be too large, it needs to have x% social appartements, and it can not have more than y% luxury flats for sale etc. etc.

Is that good? I don't know.
I compare it often to places in developing countries, where you can build up huge areas of high rises indiscriminately, and if you wanna have gated areas for rich people, that's fine. That's why the sidewalks are usually unfinished just outside a given area.
Not so in Berlin. Building something is like an expensive privilege.

And hence, there isn't enough space for housing, even if there is certainly enough space to "be".
Fewer people live in Manhattan. The NYC Metro has added 10 million since 1940.
I actually read the entirety of the longer treatise you posted before following up now.

I think it's important to consider that Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, was quoted in the Atlantic as saying "It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."

IMO the goal of taxation as a system is not just to maximize tax revenue -- although that's an important component -- and lowering marginal rates may do that. It's also about ensuring fairness and mitigating some amount of wealth inequality. Just because a tax policy increases revenues by lowering marginal rates doesn't mean that "trickle down/supply-side economics is working" -- compared to, for instance, a wealth tax. The treatise focuses on the A vs. B of lowering vs. not lowering top taxes as the defining factor of trickle-down, but it misses the forest for the trees. Other solutions exist which may yield better outcomes for all.

The component I found particularly weak in the treatise was "if we don't lower their tax rate the rich will keep hiding money in tax-free muni bonds" and left it at that, and threw their hand up. Great, tax those. Or all holdings. Then we can pick up where we left off.
Myth 8: Machine learning == visual object classification
We were thinking of building "a news feed of research about the topics [you] care about".

What do you have in mind?
Do you have an example?

We'd be curious what it is that you would expect there.

Thank you for this feedback, I will try and fix both today
Maybe instead of sunscreen, we should be using mudpacks. :) I think it might hurt my chances of getting employed, unless I worked only remotely. Also, my wife would have words.

However, anecdotally, the "mud beggars" at modern Renaissance Faires are said to have healthy skin. It could be a confusion of cause and effect, though.
It's only entitlement if you come from a socialist perspective and think property is a frivolous concept.
It did fix housing prices in LA. That's why for the past 50 years LA has frozen its zoned capacity which used to be staggeringly high.
Do people have a particular attachment to the power architecture?
To be fair, the chances of those events increasing in that way are pretty slim, even according to climate science.
This varies a little from my understanding I learned in school that food used to need to be heavily spiced because it was old/rancid, and that died down as fresh ingredients became more available.

I have to imagine that was it at least in part.
I mean this is true, Bookings is not a tech company, nor is Facebook (advertising). I do think Microsoft, Nvidia, Intel, or New Relic would still classify as technology companies for example. Some large companies are a bit trickier such as Amazon and Apple. The same could be said for whether Bayer is now a pharma company or agro-chemical company after the Monsanto acquisition. Overall, this just demonstrates the issues surrounding mass indexation. Technology trends can make index weights and exposures non-sensical depending on the pace of innovation, mergers, etc. My last startup used a distance metric on business segment revenue, named competitors, etc. to come up with a better taxonomy and distance metric for company comparisons versus single buckets.
I've read that classical music is traditionally used to drive away loiterers. I find that amusing, although I can't quite explain why.
So pretty much the same way most people think that their driving skills are well above average.
This is a really good point. After reading, this article seems mostly about the aesthetics of these movements and how they influence people and businesses and how they affect lifestyle choices. To quote the slogan of sfpc.io: It's "more poetry, less demo". It feels like something that could be tacked on to Fred Turner's The Democratic Surround. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTKmcToqKRs)
Wildfires are getting worse because we've completely messed up forest management.

Tropical storms are getting worse because we keep building in vulnerable areas and destroying all the swampland that can actually buffer the storm.

We haven't had accurate weather measurements long enough to know what is and isn't an abnormal heat wave.

Sea levels move around quite a bit in the long term, which is why they always find remnants of fishing villages under water or up away from shore.

The world isn't static, and pretending that it is often causes more harm than good.
Hmm, I will remap that, thanks for the feedback
I don’t think Taiwan is like China in that regard. I’m more inclined to think taiwan would do everything it can to protect them.
> Who defines credible?

If you want to convince others, you can provide a direct argument with data/popularly cited paper that a significant proportion the science in the field is bad. There are always reasonable people, not necessarily the ones you are replying to, that you may yet convince.

Alternatively, you can also provide an example for illustration and good reasons why it should generalize.

> If I mocked someone for using a linear regression on cyclical data, do you know why that's bad?

It's not necessarily bad to use linear regression on periodic data. If you wish to capture a trend independent of the periodic change, all the data in the periods are uniformly sampled/weighted, and the period is so short v. the timeframe of the data/the data for the regression is a whole integer.
I can't wait to read every single one. Sadly, it's only 100 blogs. Hopefully, the next update will make it a 1000 so it's worth my while.
Thank you both for flagging this. I agree it's not clear at the moment. We are doing some tweaks on the interactive charts and will make sure to include this labelling.
It was PR, and maybe a stunt as well, but it worked. It put a huge social pressure on the corrupt Australian politicians who kept the electricity system in their country far behind what Australia can afford. The public actually deserves to take part in what their tax payments are used for.
I don't think the city should do the building, so I don't understand what you mean by bad debt?

Affordable rents don't help much if you can't find a place to rent.

It is not just a problem for people who want to move to the city, but also for people whose situation has changed, and who now can't move. (Like having kids, switching jobs, that sort of thing).
At this point they should seriously do this. Build a twitter clone app for a few 100k, and then hire an around the clock crew to review tweets as they go out. It would be 100% worth it.
