Corelogic: Automated background checks to decide who is fit for a home
I believe you are willfully misconstruing my position instead of trying to engage in the most charitable interpretation.

You original comment which has now been flagged suggested that 0 economists took the issue of the gender gap serious. By "denialism" I meant to refer to your position of denying that this is an issue at all. That it is an issue treated by serious economists is a fact. You have since reneged from that denial, which I consider a step forward. What you are now questioning is how big an issue it is.

Nowhere in my comment do I refer to any "evial patriarchy", although I do consider such an issue grave. If around half of the working population is discriminated against by 5% that would be a pretty huge issue overall. That other instances of discrimination exist, for example discrimination against people of Italian descent does not change that.

I am afraid you are also incorrect in picking out the end of the Wikipedia section I linked to. As this section I linked to points out, the Uber setting is very special because the pay is set via the Uber company without hiring the drivers in the usual sense.
It really boils down to what a society values. Does it value caring for people and health or does it value hurting people for profit? We have the tools to be caring but in America, we generally don't use them because we value companies' profits above all else. We let corporations profit as much as they want off the suffering of others. We used not to, as the article points out. We can override patents. We can see drug users as human. We can try to eradicate diseases like hep c. Or we can go our current path and let corporations profit while millions die. It's really a cultural issue. Do we want to be compassionate or do we want to exploit our own people? That is the question being asked when we talk about reducing drug prices and having national healthcare instead of the vile insurance and drug industries we support now. It's not looking too hopeful for compassion at the moment.
Django doesn't implement HTTP (except for the development server), that's up to whatever's handling WSGI, like uWSGI or Gunicorn or something.

Unfortunately neither of those currently support HTTP2.

For serving Python, I think your best bet right now is uWSGI behind NGINX.
What I learned investing in China’s spacetech industry
I thought the major DRAM manufacturers were caught price fixing and were involved in some lawsuit with the chinese government?
The consensus was that with china investing heavily in indigenous fabs they were going to drop the price through the floor to make the chinese competition inviable.

Wikipedia do mention the distinction between unadjusted versus adjusted pay gap in the Gender pay gap article, but sadly the article is very sparse on details.

It is the adjusted pay gap that is disputed. No one is really disputing unadjusted pay gap, through some consider that unadjusted pay gap should include everyone including those unemployed. The problem with unadjusted pay gap is that it ignore context.

With context we get a very large variation in the data sets, and large variation in control variables. There is no standard in what variable to use with adjusted pay gap.

Variables commonly cited when comparing full time employed men and women is that men work almost an hour longer per day than women for the same job. Women also use about 50% more sick days, and if I remember right from a study from Norway, about 200% more likely to have children compared to men. Those that have children are then also more likely to stay at home to take care of them, which is a related issue but not the same as pay gap. Overtime is an other factor which correlates with pay raise, as is moving work location and changing employer.

A good sign when I look at such studies is if they can use the same data to predict whom will get a pay raise within the same gender group. The better they can do that the better they can account for those factors when comparing the gender groups to each other. Sadly very few studies does this.

Because it is very very hard to get to "fuck you"-money and passive income often isn't quite as passive as it seems.

Well written, but the answer is still unclear sadly
I would rather say that most sciences differ from natural sciences.
This is certainly true for any social science, but also for biology, medicine, certainly psychology and so on.

Similarly, heterodox schools are usually peripheral because they are peripheral to the current academic discourse. So for example Marxian primary material is a critique of past-tense economics. Post-Keynesians have a fetish for one particular concept or method (flows, MMT, crisis prediction) and reject everything outside of it. The Austrian School rejects the use of data and even formal modeling altogether, all while academic economics becomes more experiment based.

Nevertheless, there are heterodox professors even at universities ranked within the top 10, and numerous initiatives for inclusion. So given the wide chasm that needs to be bridged for academic discussion, I think the degree of exclusion is actually rather low.
There’s a middle ground, and it’s called regulation. Of course, the ridesharing companies will holler and cry uncle about even the most basic regulations (see: Austin and fingerprinting.)

New York recently made moves to, among other things, establish a floor wage for rideshare drivers similar to how there is a minimum wage for tipped workers.
I've been meaning to get CoCalc going on my server!
I don't really understand how any of this makes signing ineffective.
It is not a globally suboptimal outcome. She chose to have 3 children without a strong financial foundation. This is why she has no money.

Groceries don't fall from the sky. Somebody has to make them. So the option here is to either take from people to give to people who choose to irresponsibly have children, or don't.

If you chose the latter, then the optimal reproductive strategy would be to breed as much as possible and have other people take care of your children. That is not a 'globally optimal outcome'
I am a motorcycle nut and aviation nut since birth.

I’ve also jumped out of a dozen aircraft types via static line and ram air free fall chutes.

And I enjoy paragliding.

There’s nothing more I would like to see than a new form of personal flight.

However, I don’t see the viability of this thing at all.

Likely due to my having been in close proximity to the Martin Jetpack slow motion disaster over the last decade.

Reliability, repeatability, infallibility, safety, Certification, and classification.

All tall barriers to entry for recreational/commercial/civil aviation.

What would excite me would be an autonomous vertical lifting body that can lift a 200kg box over 200km, using 5-6 high reliability motors that can survive the failure of 1 or 2 motors as a result of mechanical failure or enemy fire.

For use in both commercial and military applications.

A reliable, agile, boring container carrier.

An oversized coffin shaped container that can fit 80%+ of high value commercial and military and commercial items, including personnel/casualty CASEVAC.

Why are we not building an autonomous platform around the carriage of a specifically calculated cube container?

Like a mini aerial 20ft or 40ft shipping container.
Yeah I did some back packing, south east asia tours and all that and honestly I didn't like it that much overall. You are whisked from one place to the next, 6am starts and getting drunk is the norm every night. My favorite part was just hanging out in Hanoi for a day or two without much of a plan.

I met people doing months of this stuff back to back around the world. I wished I had just spent the whole time in New Zealand in a couple of nice places. It would have been more relaxing and more up my street.
I'm in agreement, and many people just throw the "quantity over quality" perception towards everything in life. It is as superficial a way to experience the world as it is anything else you do with your time.
I think the darker take on it is that as you get older you realize that things are harder and you're not as dumb. Mortgages and children are a polite way of saying "I know how stupidly hard that is, I like spending time with my wife and kids and family and I'm going to actively choose a quality life over an impactful life."

I tell people to only start a startup, and definitely only start a moonshot startup if you can't help but let your ambition destroy your happiness. Things at Apollo are going really well, and it has been ~5x more stressful than when I was working at a really fast paced and successful US company. It's probably ~15x more stressful than when I was working at a laid back US tech company. You do it because you have to see what you're building in the world.
People playing cultural bingo is nothing new, but at least gives people some sense of progress and accomplishment, which is probably the priority of those people.

Personally, having travelled a bit, think that travelling is not about moving. If you actually want to understand anything about anything, you need to stand still for a while, and then go away and come back. It's hard to reconcile this with being a (passport) stamp collector.
My data is empty, even though I'm not that paranoid about privacy (but I do take some care).

This specific API seems pretty innocuous. They're not doing black magic, it's just aggregating data that people willingly put out there about themselves.

I'm sure I'm out there in many datasets with stolen (or just "shared") information.
Thank you for this comment. To me, duck v. rabbit on rotation just proves the system works as intended.
If I'm getting what you're saying you have 15amp service for the house?

My house was built in 1950's. Used to have two 20amp fuses. One for the lights and one for the outlets.

In the US houses typically have 100-200 amp service now.
Personally I don't read the parents comment as referring to all Uber drivers, but that's just me.

"it fits with a meme of poorer people being dumber
"

I agree that that's the meme, the parent doesn't actually refer to Uber driver's wealth, rich or poor.

I'm guessing theres an unspoken assumption that Uber drivers are poorer, because it isn't that well paid? People don't seem to be giving up careers to do it.
mailbox.org has been great. They can encrypt all your incoming mail content with your PGP public key. And you can enforce to receive the mail over a TLS encrypted SMTP using a special subdomain.
> These are ugly decisions to make for the smallish benefit of being able to omit a couple of parentheses.

Careful there. We're not talking about one compiler writer and one user. There will be potentially many users. That little benefit of using parentheses will be multiplied across users (and across uses).

Paying a large cost upfront to enjoy small but lasting benefits could very well be worth the cost. (Assuming the benefits are real of course. That would be a separate issue.)
It might be to slow alias namespace depletion, and put a cost on potential squatting.

Sure. But is there an a.out userspace? How do you make a.out binaries on linux today?
In the reddit comment the author noted that the training set is frequently rotated to help the system generalize better (maybe that's why people is fascinated by this animation at the first place). Possible explanations thus include: the Vision API is not well trained in this regard, or it has (correctly) learned that some images are sensitive to the rotation.
The 2200G comes with the Wraith cooler, which I believe is actually pretty good for a stock cooler.
So you should be able to get away without the Coolmaster, saving some additional cash :) [Unless your prices are CPU only]
Edit: You would probably need to put the savings into a PSU though!
Upterm Is Looking for Maintainers
I have been thinking about that. How would one do that with a minimal impact on password security? Character sets are easy, but one could set some arbitrary limits on character frequency. I would probably generate a shitload of passwords and filter them based on the rules since that would mean not having to have complicated logic for password generation and thus not accidentally generating passwords that are less secure than the rule limitations.
They're VCs. They have to bet on moonshots, because they bet on a lot of companies, most of which fail. If they don't bet on crazy ideas, it means the few that succeed, will only succeed like a "regular" company would succeed - with some nice just above positive cashflow, growing in the next 20 years to somewhat sustainable business - nice and slow. This will not fuel financing other 100s of companies that have failed.

What they need in every company they fund is at least a potential of astronomical exponential fast growth, if it succeeds. That's why many of these can be called "moonshots".

If the upside in a company is only to be "mildly successful" - they are not for VCs. The upside has to be explosive (even if there is a low chance of it).
I find your response more interesting that the experiment.

You don’t just rotate the image in your mind or focus on specific features to bring out the duckiness or rabbit-ness? I can make it more duck or more rabbit as will.
In Germany you have to stop when you see somebody on the street, independent of their right to be there in the first place and independend of the fact how many laws they are breaking with it. You have to stop unless say, it is impossible for you to do so because they were jumping on the street suddenly or it is plausible that you didn’t see them.

This is because a persons right to be alive outweighs your right of way at any time and it is none of your business whether that other person acts lawful or not.

Interesting to see how much this general principles differ.
Ok, the driver is still being held responsible, which is correct. Sure the braking system failed but the driver was supposed to be there to correct the situation. This the right decision. If the car was fully autonomous then i would agree with you.
> load-store is a less pressing matter than it was.

I'd guess load-store with sufficient architectural registers is still an advantage if you're doing an in-order design, as that allows the compiler to schedule the load as early as possible? Sure, for an OoO design which splits a load-op into separate micro-ops this doesn't matter.
Certum offers cheap code signing certificates for open source developers. I don't know how "good" they are, though, just stumbled across them a while ago because MPC-BE is using one.
That's great, but in this case even the generic costs $450 to $950 for a typical two week to a month bottle. I can't imagine how much the brand name costs if the generic costs that much. There are some alternatives like blink health (I have no affiliation) that bring that cost down to about $45 by negotiating prices en masse, I assume. If that's not a broken system, I don't know what is. Clearly, these medicines could cost a lot less but they don't because companies' profits are more important than health in America. Or take genetic tamiflu (can't remember the name). $150 for one course. I'd rather risk the flu, which I recently have, than take it preventatively. Can't imagine how much that brand name costs either but it it's unaffordable even on an engineer's salary, what's the use of even having this drug? Even with my insurance it was over $110. What's the use of having insurance in that case? Still unaffordable. Still going to get sick. What a fucked up system.
The reason not to test Terminology seems quite outdated.
You are not. It seems like a horrible idea. But then again, I didn't understand the point of something like Twitter, either, so I am grateful that people are exploring dumb ideas -- that they appear to be intentionally doing the wrong thing -- because going downhill is the only way you get out of a local optimum. Most of these will fail, that's fine.
Monitoring the Planet’s Pulse – Resource Watch
Yah, it might also be different connotations on moonshot. If you believe a moonshot has to be something new + unlikely/hard then it's definitely not a moonshot. If you think a moonshot is something that's just incredibly unlikely but potentially super valuable, it definitely is.

Empirically, at least two investors who had put money into successful early-stage driverless cars and one who put money early into Planet Labs thought what we were doing was going to be harder. For some VCs, Africa might as well be the moon.
I very much agree with the article, but "... instead, talk about your most memorable experience, how that one time you had this deep connection with this person in at meditation camp in Southeast Asia because you speak their language, or the quiet moment, the intense gratitude you had after a long day of cycling, after setting up camp, and looking at the beautiful sunset in the offing." makes me think of this pic: http://atimetoheal.london/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Cmon-In...

Next it'll be the trend to collect "Deep moments". I guess some influencers do it on Instagram already, copy-paste a "deep" thought onto their vacation pic so the IG scrollers can fool themselves into thinking they're being deep.
"Economics is not based on solid science"

Pretty broad statement. Some micro-economic theories, like the game theoretic models in auction theory, contract theory, mechanism design and behavioral economics are probably the most successful, accurate and impactful theories in all of social sciences, including psychology.

You may not realize how much your buying behavior, your salary, your interactions online and your use of technology are dependent on these models.
But comparing their success and use to fields like sociology, management and even psychology, their track record is frankly amazing.

We already know that Macroeconomics amounts to modeling systems that do not aggregate meaningfully from these successful micro-models.

Saying economics is not a science based on this, is like saying physics is not a science because we still can not find a unified theory. Which is a pretty good analogy for a Macroeconomic model that forecasts GDP (aka, everything).
Historicaly Nintendo has always been consumer hostile going all the way back in the 1980s when they invented region locking. I suspect this is more of the CD vs. cartridges thing, where Nintendo remains stubborn for a generation and then follows the trend anyway.

The MSX computers regularly had two cartridge ports. Some cartridge games by Konami had extra features and cheats that could be triggered by inserting certain other cartridges to the secondary port.

It's just as well there are areas of genetics that one can do just sat in front of a computer. I wouldn't trust me in a wet lab.
No you don't understand, Uber didn't have self driving cars on the road, they had autonomous test vehicles. There was never any reasonable expectation that the test vehicle would perform perfectly in all situations, that's why there is a human monitor in the drivers seat. That human monitor is the final failsafe, it's the same with Tesla's Autopilot, and the same with any conventional car. When Rafaela Vasquez volunteered to drive the vehicle, she accepted responsibility for the vehicle. She was watching a television show when the accident occurred.
You'd still need a slip somewhere, with its associated costs.

Years ago, a friend lived on a boat at Pete's Harbor (Redwood City). He wasn't a fan.
> It's like "saving things" on my physical desk - a bad habit I tell myself not to do, but still find myself doing. (chucks a few things that have been on my desk).

But on a physical desk I don't have options to sort, search etc. I do on the mac. I use the desktop as place for non-critical files everytime (like a screenshot that I have to attach to an email, or to export a image without background that I am going to use on a ppt). Basically just as a temp folder.

It is absolutly cluttered, but the ability to drop a temporary file there without thinking of structure or what it relates to trumps the clutter it creates.

Besides, with the addition of Stacks (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT209101) it makes everything more manageable.
It's over 20 years since I finished my degree, and I've never worked in the industry, but I spent sufficient hours poring over the ISO standard document for pressure vessels as part of my final year project that I can still remember the sorts of things it covers.

Effectively, they test things to destruction, then publish minimum requirements. So if you want to pressurise your reactor vessel to reactor vessel to 30 atmospheres, you can pretty much look up a table that'll tell you precisely how thick the reactor walls need to be for each of the commonly used materials. If you want to use something uncommon, then you need to pay somebody to test it.

If it fails in a catastrophic fashion, you can expect to be asked to show that you did your due diligence, and there are extenuating circumstances a reasonable engineer could not have been expected to foresee and plan for. Or that you did foresee it, and somebody else chose to accept the (clearly defined) risk.
