In fact, many quantatitive researchers in their domain are already data scientists without using modern tools like machine learning. Being able to use these tools is only the beginning of a new practicing and advancing.

I consider it the responsibility of computer scientists and engineers to make the tools better and easier. But unfortunately, it's that one has to become a good computer scientist first then a domain expert.

We are not doing enough on innovations of tooling.

That's also a way of looking at it. I wouldn't agree with the part where you say "family caretaking is typically presented as a virtue" however. Being virtuous is synonymous with being honorable. If you see a parent taking care of their sick child would you say "how honorable"? Or is it simply what is expected of them to be considered a decent human being?
How do you avoid it with paper ballots? When your union boss tells you, "send me a picture of your ballot and ID from the booth, if I don't see a mark next to the Foo party, you'll have a problem", you either can spoil your ballot or vote for the Foo party.
The author mentions Beethoven. Consider what a virtuoso pianist must go through to create a performance of a 40-minute-long sonata. Yes, the performance includes her personal interpretation of what's written on a piece of paper. It is almost certainly influenced by performances others have created.

But when it comes to the individual notes, their sequence had damn well better be literally correct for the entire performance. If not, someone in the audience will certainly notice that one flubbed note.

So in learning the work, "she was changed in some way" all right. As some members of the audience had been ... identically. And that 'some way' certainly resembles pulling bytes out of 'storage'.
The Arch User Repository (https://aur.archlinux.org/) seems to solve a lot of the collaboration issues. It is pretty painless to create PKGBUILD files to make a package and to upload a new one to the AUR. Most maintainers read the comments and accept patches on a timely manner, and there's even a way to forcibly relinquish a package if a maintainer is AWOL for significant time.

On the other side of the spectrum, I've found that the official binary repositories for Arch Linux suffer many of the same issues described in the article for Debian. Patches being ignored and collaboration or involvement being near impossible. Even worse, the few people in charge of the official repositories are allowed to basically remove packages from the AUR with no interaction with the AUR maintainer, for the purpose of "promoting" them to the official repositories. This has happened to me twice, and it resulted in what I think is a worse package in one of those cases.

> Apple is not unfairly competing with apps on its store

All the Apple apps that are pre-installed on an iPhone have a massive advantage over third-party options in the App Store. Most users just stick with the pre-installed Apple apps for email, web browsing, using the camera, looking through photos, and taking notes. There used to be third-party flashlight apps in the app store, but Apple used their platform power to crush those apps when they included flashlight functionality for free in iOS 7.

Of course, one can argue that Apple has used its platform power for a worthwhile goal - creating a better user experience. People made a similar argument about Walmart back in the 90s and 00s when they were in the news for crushing small businesses - it's fine because Walmart is just trying to give customers lower prices.
Not necessarily.

The 737 Max is the same type rating as all other 737. That means the pilots and crew switch back and forth between the Max and non-Max planes — despite the fact that they act very different in certain circumstances.

This was intentional, it saves airlines money to have fewer type ratings.

Besides, so soon after take off there’s very little time to recover when your plane is overriding you attempts to keep it from nose diving into the ground. It’s not as simple as flipping a single switch.
In Denmark at least you can get a new ballot by returning the unused one.

IANAL but my understanding is recipients of national security letters are not allowed to tell anyone they received the letter and hence can't legally fill out a form like this correctly in the the aftermath of receiving an NSL. My understanding is the non-disclosure language in NSL's is why transparency-minded sites use the alternatively framed warrant canary approach[0].

I wanted to make SimCity allow you to invade the cities in the neighbourhood. Was 11 at the time. Still working on it.
When I announced the birth of my child the company I worked with fired me instantly and living off one income (my spouse was still working) was tough. Money got so short that I started looking for cheap but "healthy" food options. I decided on organic potatoes. For the last 2 years I have been boiling 5 potatoes for lunch (exactly 32 mins on the stove), serving it with white balsamic vinegar, sunflower oil and salt. I feel with all the junk food around full of crappy soy and corn sirup this is the least bad alternative. It is always a challenge to feed myself especially when I train for a Marathon. I do lose weight during this period and very often I go to bed extremely hungry only to wake up at 4am for yet another training run. I stay focused and try not to spend any money on anything for me. Temptations are everywhere though! I only spend money to feed my child.

What I learned over the last 2 years is important: don't ever eat crap out of convenience - there's lots of healthy alternative options out there even if you live in a very expensive neighborhood (like I); never ever through out limp vegetables! You can still throw it in a pot with broth and make "soup/stew"; invest into your future (your kids) and don't be ashamed to admit your days are counted ...

I take this as a life lesson. Once I have a job again, I will appreciate food even more.

I don't know when Peak California will come, but I'm fairly certain it will happen at some point, and this opinion article actually does a great job at summarizing my opinion as to why in its very last sentence:

"Californians will end up like the landed gentry in interwar England. Lovely houses, illustrious history, and no conceivable way to pay their bills."

Why do tech companies flock to California (LA/SF)? I often hear people credit the great technical universities. But that can't be, because most of the actual workers at these companies didn't go to Bay Area or even California universities [1]. If they're willing to move from their home to California for work, it's safe to assume they're willing to move from their home to almost anywhere else for work. It's not due to cheap housing or even available housing. It's not due to the great commute into work. It's not due to the low cost of living. The only argument I hear is that tech companies move to SF/LA because lots of tech workers are there, and lots of tech workers are there because lots of tech companies are there.

So if there's nothing holding technology to SF/LA, when does it become a competitive advantage to have your offices anywhere but California? At some point it will. And it will be long overdue.

Macbooks >= ~2013 or so will run into this kernel panic shortly after boot: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/13189

2012 and earlier Macbooks pretty much work, I'm told (though you will hit the remaining NEC/Renesas bug I mentioned in the blog post, so use a USB2 drive until we manage to debug that.)

But yes, generally our hardware support is not quite as good as Linux's, so you will have a mixed bag in Macbooks. High-end PC laptops (e.g. Dell XPS 13) are fine.

EDIT: According to the comment below, it seems I was misremembering, and these problems occur on 2015-and-up Macbooks, not 2013-and-up.

Even sometimes satisfies "do cause autism". "do not, ever" (the popular story), means zero.

We're told vaccines do not cause autism is a fact. Does comprehensive "scientific" data exist to back this up, as we're told?

The punchline I guess is that everyone has a smug, rolling of the eyes demeanor towards anyone who questions the narrative, but these people haven't actually checked "the facts".
I think you're very wrong if you think all professional neuroscientists are disinterested witnesses or that they all give adequate philosophical distance to the IP metaphor. Its assumptions constrain or at least impact the landscape of valuation of all academic neuroscience research.

Academic science isn't an apolitical, free space. We are not all free to choose any model, and what it means for a model to "work better" comes down to evaluative criteria that are almost always baked into a particular set of theoretical assumptions.

I read this with your quote as saying they don't want to rent to groups of students who already know each other, presumably because they don't want their luxury mansion turning into a frat house cum party pad and possibly getting trashed. They are renting rooms out to multiple individuals who are sharing the properties however.

Givero is a search engine that shares its revenue with good causes you choose.

We silently opened to the public about a month ago, and we are currently putting the final touches on the site and story, and working on onboarding more charities. Right now you can support charities working for climate, animals and children.

Since we have a lot of DuckDuckGo fans on here, I think I should mention that Givero:
* Has DuckDuckGo compatible bangs
* Has Instant Answers (just launched the first 3, more to come)
* Is Privacy centric.
* Is Bing based, like DDG.
* Is Euro hosted.

So a good mix of DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, with the key difference being that we donate 50% of our entire revenue to charities you choose.

Full disclosure: I am the founder. We're a small team based in Denmark, formerly working on Findx (privacy search engine with own index), which shut down last year.

See also the multiple eyewitness accounts of what brought down TWA-800, many involving a surface-to-air missile.

However, it took years of investigation and evidence gathering to finally put that initial speculation to rest.

If all that’s being sensed is touched(A) or touched(SPACEBAR) with no x,y reporting, I can’t imagine the experience would be good enough to please a MacBook trackpad user. I can see the low-rez touch sensing being ok for gestures, but a poor substitute for real multitouch experience.

For example, the pinch-to-zoom demo looks janky compared to two-finger pinch on an actual MacBook trackpad.
There's just as much chance religions were yet another case of early human exceptionalism, as an explanation for times when no better was available. Just as we once believed earth was centre of the universe (exceptionalism once again), humours or phlogiston.

Immortality in the Carl Sagan sense that we came from stars, and one day will be there again, or even within a cycle of nature on mother earth, sure that seems reasonable. Particle immortality. Remarkably complex tales of hades, meeting everyone who has ever lived in paradise or cute red guys with a pitchfork require remarkable evidence.

On impending nonexistence, I've never quite understood why this is a struggle for so many to contemplate - maybe that's something lacking in me, who knows.

I am perfectly chill with that, and always have been. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the key difference is that the visit from your mother-in-law was a novel or unique experience which you might not have the emotional tools to handle. It isn't exactly fair to compare that inexperience with what is a way of life in India.

The visit may have been uncomfortable for you because of the absence of societal and cultural rules to help streamline these situations.
No, it doesn't. The 737 max has software to prevent stalls in situations outside of the profile of normal flight. As does e.g. the A320.
I'm fine with that. I just hate the loud noises. Harley's get a lot of the blame, but there's plenty of crotch rockets that are loud as well.
Consider Open-Individualism. It's actually very difficult to make a philosophical case for Closed-Individualism (the common sense belief your post seems to espouse). You have to show why subjects would be particular to a group of atoms which are constantly changing. If not, the subject of all experiences is the same across space and time, and it's only the experiences which are different and constantly changing. If so, existence is eternal, which is what relativity suggests.

For all of the talk about California’s immense wealth, most people are unaware that the state also has a higher rate of people in poverty than any other state when you correct for local cost of living and taxes.

It is possible for both a carrier to be more at-risk for crashes as well as a plane to be more at-risk for crashes.

The FAA issued an emergency operation directive for the 737 Max due to inaccurate sensors which could lead to a crash. I'm not entirely sure why you're ignoring that fact and deflecting to something unrelated.

Sure, but compare that to any other industries. Tech industry is still very very mericratic. (Low startup capital, barrier to entry) Besides, every company is a tech company now

"The Devil We Know". It's a documentary about the Ohio river valley polution by 3M and Dupont in the production of Teflon.

Yet the continued to do it, because, profits.

Who can say what companies are around you, polluting the ground water? Just be careful with assumptions that its always safe, is all I'm saying. I'm sure people in the Ohio River Valley thought the same.
