Sure, but what's the use in a simplified model that spits out a result that's wrong? Take the assumption that the "underemployed" pay little in taxes while taking money from the welfare system. Sure, on the surface. But that doesn't account for increased spending power as a result of money in their pocket (which isn't saved or put into a hedge fund, but actually spent immediately out of necessity) that goes back into the economy, nor does it account for upward generational mobility as a result of good health and affordable education, or a host of other factors that potentially turn the conclusion on its head.

The problem isn't with simplicity for simplicty's sake. My concern is that we're making public policy decisions based on models that are plain wrong
It seems like a bad argument to me. Companies have multiple revenue streams for things all the time. "double charging" is a slogan, not an argument.

I rewrote koa-router and add some features:

* parameters validation

* parameters from path, header, query, cookie

* body parser

* request body validation

* coerce data types of parameters and body

* OpenAPI generation
There are a number of reasons against it given by the FCC chairman. It's fairly technical regarding many legal bits but the gist is that the legislation is 1) poorly done and 2) does not solve a problem that needed to be solved and 3) will probably reduce investment in broadband infrastructure which is bad because an actual problem people face is access to broadband.

1) The laws are complicated and somewhat vague which creates an onerous and costly legal burden for ISPs. Smaller ISPs would probably have a steeper obstacle to overcome as a result which would be bad for competition. One example of this is the General Conduct Rule the FCC adopted in 2015 which didn't specifically state what was or was not expected. None of the FCC's regulations apply to 'edge providers' either e.g. Facebook or Google. So Internet users would have to understand the difference between ISPs and edge providers which is not straightforward to understand the law.

2) It was said that prior to 2015 when the FCC adopted Net Neutrality that ISP censorship was not a problem and they had invested in providing broadband access to people i.e. the system worked. So Net Neutrality solved a problem no one had: ISPs censoring people. The same could be said for ISPs charging premium rates to reach certain content. As far as creating a two-tier system for packets, Net Neutrality opponents argue this would be a good thing because it creates a better, faster, more reliable service.

3) A problem people did have was getting access to the internet. If Net Neutrality reduced investment in broadband infrastructure, solving this problem was less likely.
Thanks a lot! I am more familiar with Python. Never used R before.
why can't we create laws after it happens. Law can be more precise and useful in that case rather than preemptive laws based on speculation.
You could in addition to, but if you made sure the banks pay out their ass for their crimes then they’d make it extremely difficult for criminals to move their plunder.
> I haven't noticed any negatives yet either (to my surprise).

That's because the legal battle isn't over yet. If you were planning to take advantage of no more net neutrality, would you do it while a legal challenge is pending? The last thing you'd want to do is give the opposition evidence in favor of their position.
Yet another one of the many failures to execute at Tesla...

This is a good theory. It’s one of the first that resonates with my understanding of the brain.

The brain is composed of two hemispheres, each with different regional faculties working together. Each region is responsible for producing different models, based on its responsibilities, sensory inputs, regulatory functions etc.

As a whole the brain is a massive neural network. But each region possess its own neural network (grid cells/columns), and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were sub-neural networks at play, some that are unique to each person, based on their neurological development, environmental conditioning, and overall personal adaptations.

It’s easy to see how these regional neural networks are responsible for specific statistical modeling, which then factor into other regional models, and so on, in order to arrive at the correct output response.

Also resonates with Gestalt theory/psychology, which makes a lot of sense from a complex systems processing perspective, I’m just not sure what current neuroscience says about it.

I think this theory is very promising for AI.

I look forward to seeing more of their applied work.
> It is easier to have a model of criminality where it is just a function of population density minus distance to police station

I'm intrigued by this model in which the closer you are to a police station, the more crime there is. :D

Tax avoidance is OK. It's tax evasion that's illegal.

To be fair, the last paragraph of the post mentions CMSIS, which provides proper headers with register names at least.

The HAL is very complete, but a bit hard to read because it supports all the (sometimes very subtle, possibly even undocumented) variations in the STM32 feature blocks. These variations have accumulated over the years.

Edit: also, the STMCube tool is a great help for configuring the chips of that family. It can configure IO pins, function blocks, the sometimes insanely flexible clock tree, generate project skeletons, estimate power consumption, etc... it is actually quite useful.
Whenever someone advocates for UTC being the wall clock time all over the world, I think of Jason Mendoza from The Good Place:

I mean honestly Senate bill H.R.1865 successfully did a ton to ruin the internet if we're being honest.
It’s mindboggling depressing to lose an hour of daylight each day for almost half a year because you’re stuck in an office at work.
Really? You didn't notice large acquisition of Time Warner by AT&T, pulling HBO and Cinemax out of Dish network (to encourage people to use streaming), jacking prices on DirecTV (acquired early by AT&T during previous administration), then providing capped internet access, and zero rating to HBO and Cinemax (again owned by AT&T)?

And that just a single company.

I'm especially mad, because I am a Dish customer and don't have HBO since November.
FAANG's have enough influence/money.
Honestly, I think the passage of Senate bill H.R.1865 “FOSTA” has quite quickly done way more harm to the internet at large than killing Net Neutrality has.
Looks interesting! You mentioned in the docs that it would be simpler once abstractions develop and that made me realize it's similar to facebook/dataloader, just used across requests instead of batching up all of the queries per request. It's also of course a generalized form of it that represents batching a parametrized method more so than just batching retrievals by some kind of unique key. It may be able to serve as something to lift API ideas from though. Like some kind of BatchedTask that has an execute() method that takes an array of args then batches those into an array of array of args for the underlying batched implementation.

Yet prices are sufficiently high that it is a surprisingly profitable industry. It is also worth bearing in mind that the government find a large share of drug development. [1]

[1] "pharmaceutical and biotechnology sales revenue increased from $534 billion to $775 billion between 2006 and 2015.... Drug industry spending for research and development increased from $82 billion in 2008 to $89 billion in 2014" (I assume there are other costs so one cannot simply divide to get gross profit but it seems illustrative)

While your opinion is popular, especially among privacy enthusiasts, it's also inconsistent with reality.

Google isn't spying on you. They don't give a damn who you are. This may come as a blow, but your browsing history is not valuable in and if itself.

Your identity and behavior is only valuable to Google for the purpose of making you happy with their services. It's only desirable to Google to the extent that it represents an ongoing voluntary relationship between you and them. Otherwise its value goes negative.

Your data, your history, your preferences, if you don't want to use that information to make their site and services more useful, then they have no reason to keep it. It's a liability instead of an asset. It gets purged pretty quickly. This is true all across the company. No information is retained without your ongoing consent. I am dead certain this happens.

This obviously doesn't apply to aggregate/anonymous data. They don't decrement their count of people living in San Francisco by 1 just because you don't want people to know you exist. That's not how opting out works. It's not how population statistics work.
Yeah it's fine if the president has business interests as long as their political decisions aren't influenced by their finances. If Jimmy Carter was influenced by good deals for his peanut farm, that would be a scandal too. Companies are choosing to patronize the President's hotel business with the goal of receiving preferential treatment.

I was on a plane today thinking about recent research that uses vibrational/waves to interact with objects. Researchers can suspend and manipulate objects with these waves.

I was thinking, why isn’t it possible to use this technology to create levitating objects or vehicles???

Like UFO type flight.

Just attach powerful emitters around the craft.

This article makes me think this might be possible.

How much daylight you lose depend highly on what latitude you are living.

In California, daylight savings actually makes sense, it's a noticeable boost of daylight for your office commute in the winter.

In northern Europe, it makes absolutely no sense, because the darkness consumes everything anyway. It takes about a week or two for sunrise to be at the same time it was before the clock adjustment each fall. It's pretty useless.

Janssen obviously believes that it's valid. Or at least, they're confident that they can defend it. Maybe they know that it's not valid, but are confident that others won't figure out why.

In one case that I recall, the manufacturer bribed a chemist to retract a paper that had reported the synthesis of their drug.

Many years of budget cuts have rendered the Patent Office pretty clueless about drugs. And the FDA doesn't do any independent assessment of patent validity. I've seen testimony where FDA staff said that they lack expertise for that.

So basically, patents are valid if they survive litigation.

Bash is pretty bad at helping you discover how to do things.
Absolutely.

It was crazy to watch everyone go crazy about net neutrality with triple-bank-shot theories of how it might chill some site somewhere someday, but barely a peep about the far-worse FOSTA, which almost immediately forced sites offline.

I'm still not sure how to explain this. Perhaps people are just dumb and prone to irrational panics, perhaps I am dumb (i.e., NN > FOSTA), or perhaps movements like NN support are not really particularly organic, and being organized for reasons unknown.

My 5-year-old daughter was just diagnosed with ASD. I was beyond skeptical through the entire process -- until I started seeing what they were seeing. If you go back and watch videos of her when she was younger you see it then, too. She's an incredible kid, intelligent, curious, goofy. I am still not sure I've really accepted it, but the help she's getting is really helping her. Unless you're a psychologist I don't think you should be "convinced". Get a second opinion if you don't believe it. Don't let your pride get in the way of teaching your son the _healthy_ coping mechanisms he might need.

I'd say everything else you just said describes us as well (stress, parental mental illness, etc), but I can't attribute her behavior to those things. That's just how she's always been, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I am sorry if you took that as directed to your comment.

You literally replied to their comment.

For you, "SJW" evokes "an attempt to shut people up" or "bad-faith discourse".

It's name-calling, so yeah.

For me, "emotional labour" evokes something more political, which I often see derided here.

So I see what you're saying, because a lot of people use this term in political ways.

But I think politics aside, it's a pretty important psychological and cultural concept. I don't know if there's a better term for it that doesn't feel politically coded. Do you have a better suggestion? Maybe read over my thoughts and let me know what you think.

Basically, there are many things people do to keep society polite and orderly. In most cases, for most people, being polite is just a normal part of doing business with the world.

But just imagine---for the sake of argument---that you have an obvious physical deformity, and strangers constantly stop and make you feel weird in a way that is not really socially acceptable. Yet you are expected constantly to maintain the social order and respond to these gawking and obtrusive strangers in a polite way. Wouldn't that be a little exhausting? Particularly if you were having a shitty day, and weren't feeling particularly polite?

This is the phenomenon people are talking about when they use the term "emotional labor". It means that people are being shitty to you, but they don't understand that, so for that reason it would be impolite for you to point out they're being shitty to you, so you just eat shit and move on with your life.

We could call this "politeness", but that terms elides the nuance that sometimes it is really emotionally exhausting to be polite and maintain social order all the time.

> Once the heap size gets larger than the threshold under which compressed references are working, a surprising thing happens: references suddenly become uncompressed

Am I correct in assuming that this is made possible because Hotspot can re-JIT? So the GC/Allocator just warns the JITter, "hey, all of your Oops [flags] code is no longer valid," resulting in a re-JIT of everything? Or a prologue in every method that checks the Oops flags (and triggers a re-JIT)?

That's normal for programming language formal verification, from what I've seen. The question is always "how simplified is it", and if it's simplified to the point of uselessness. There's usually something to be learned (and often bugs to be fixed) from even the most-simplified version, but AFAICT "full" language verification is basically never done (except on toy[1] languages).

edit: [1]: "toy" implying "not intended for broad use", not any kind of "pointless" or "just for fun", to be clear. maybe there's a better term I should be using. so basically all "this language is designed to be formally verified and it does something interesting" languages fall into this category, because it's really not expected to be generally usable - it exists to demonstrate something, and at best become a feature of another language eventually.
Malware analyst, vulnerability research
I just don't understand the doubt and hate. It's perfectly reasonable to distrust the NSA in most cases, but look at the context - the NSA has a huge brain drain and PR problem. They desperately need qualified people to start trusting and applying to them again. Does anyone seriously think they would try to backdoor security researchers in such a stupidly obvious way?

I was actually at the RSA talk where they released the tool - the presenter was very open in saying that this is a recruiting tool. They want college kids just getting into RE to learn their tools and have their name in the back of their mind so they apply for internships and jobs, and are trained for those roles from day zero. There are other benefits to releasing the tool, like free labor and testing from people submitting patches and bug reports, but the real value is in making the NSA appear like the good guys and getting people on their side.

It seems pretty obvious to me that this gives the NSA more benefit than trying (and probably failing) to hack random people. And yet the dude sitting next to me was shaking his head and saying he would only ever run it in a VM. Irrational as hell.
The ketamine clinic in my area requires a psychiatrist referral: you can't just walk in off the street and get ketamine.
I think I understand why you feel that way.

For people with mental illness, there is a tremendous amount of pressure to hide their symptoms and appear "normal" in public. It's almost a prerequisite to be able to hold down a job or even go out in public without being ostracized. The original article refers to this as "masking".

What happens is as the underlying condition worsens, the victim simply expends more and more energy into hiding those symptoms. To outsiders, there is no perceptible change to the victim's behavior or condition. When the victim finally reaches the point of exhaustion, the collapse appears to come out of nowhere, or even to be faked.

Basically, the public expects to see a set of symptoms that are steady, or increase gradually over time. What you see in practice looks like normal, healthy behavior for months or years at a time, punctuated by dramatic breakdowns. (Or, in an effort to mask to the very end, the victim may abruptly disappear into hiding with or without notice until their symptoms are manageable again.)

If there's a TLDR for this, it's that, from the outside, mental illness looks very different from what you've been conditioned to expect, and it's not surprising that you interpret it as a form of hypochondria.
We changed our educational grading scale a few years back to make it comparable to the international scale. One of the huge problems was that we had a top-grade for people who went “beyond” expectations for the course. Because “beyond” is up for interpretation, some examiners were more likely to give it than others, but in general it was just extremely hard to earn a top mark and no one really knew what was needed to get it.

So we changed it to make it similar to pretty much every other country. Now roughly 10 years later, it looks like we might change it again because people are missing the old “exceptional” grade.

Only it isn’t students, educators or examinators who miss it. It’s the public and politicians. They’ll probably succeed in changing it back, despite no one affected by it wanting it.

It’s universally stupid, but it makes me wonder when we’ll bring saving-day-light time back.
No, compressed oops mode doesn't change at runtime. That's pretty hard to pull off. You'd need to change object layout dynamically and unless you want to reformat the whole heap you'd need tags or regions with different pointer rules. Any of these techniques would have a very substantial runtime overhead.
> Performance comes second.

I want to state that performance is too generalize here.

BEAM VM also have a goal of low latency which can be consider as performance. I'm not entirely sure if GO is aiming for that or not. I would never do any numerical stuff on BEAM though, it's very slow.

This theory reminds me of Marvin Minsky's "society of mind" theory where multiple agents/parts of a certain brain center encode the same object/concept in different ways and have a vote/suppress mechanism for processing different inputs in a heterarchial manner. But his model was far more theoretical than what I see here.
