Mathematica is amazing for visualizing math. 6 lines of readible mathematica code can compile into 100 lines of unreadable C.

Any blog posts on mathematica helping make data science problems more tractable?

My thoughts are mathematica is good at intuition building, but not fast enough to deploy without converting into subsequent languages.
A credit score is not racist because racism implies intent, however credit scores do disproportionately discriminate based on race and thus should not be used for hiring.

Consider the fact that to access any form of credit, and thus a credit score requires a bank account. When you consider the racial disparities between those who are un-banked or under banked it's clear that a credit score disproportionately affects certain communities.

Not only that, but credit ratings in general can be incredibly flawed. Many institutions had their bonds downgraded by the large credit rating agencies after the financial crisis simply due to the fact that balanced sheets were scrutinized more closely due to all the public outrage.

Works for me.

Anyway, the rules you are talking about are NFL rules, and NFL is a legal trust. The NFL draft is equivalent to a hiring manager claiming you from your company's hiring pool. Tom Brady can play football in a different league if he wants to, and his union has negotiated his right to profit from his IP outside of team work.
Andrew Yang seems like a nice guy with a cool UBI proposal, but his blowing up on Twitter has a lot to do with 8chan forcing 'YangGang' memes which began about 6 weeks ago. It would be unwise to view this like a true market signal.

The SXSW town hall is not the only thing Pete Buttigieg has done in the past month. He's been on three or four of the podcasts I listen to and his Twitter game (especially his husband's) is strong.

Axelrod may have sparked the media interest in Mayor Pete with a tweet, but Buttigieg has handled the attention and impressed people on his own.
How is this manufactured in any untoward way? Influential people (certainly more than Axelrod if we're being honest) like this guy, the press amplifies the viewpoints of influential people, and so he did better in the press than the candidate you volunteer for.

Have you considered that because of your affinity for Gabbard, you overestimated her ability to connect? Or that you are overconfident in your ability to estimate who had the objectively superior SXSW town hall performance?

Here's what WA has that people want in Signal.

> Group admins

> Group calling

I'm actually stopping there because Signal in the last year picked up a lot of other features that WA has and people want (like emojis).

What still could be useful

> Enabling md markup (I'd argue that this is more important to Signal because of the large amount of coders that use it). Note: this is in messenger.

> A better desktop app

> Way to add users without handing out phone numbers (low priority)

As just texting a single person it is just fine. But text is not alone. This needs to be a chat app, not a texting app. Because that's what people want.

> it's really really hard to understand what are those features that people keep arguing about that are missing

Ask them. Use WA. Figure it out. Figure out why non-techie people don't use Signal.

>Browser tabs were never intended to be used this way, bookmarks are.

The problem with booksmarks is that the tabs are not open. The booksmarks manager UI only show the title of the webpage but not what full page rendering is. Titles are often meaningless.

Of course, I could type in a better title when saving the bookmark... or... just simply not close the tab and consider it part of a "queue" to read later in a few days. It's lazier and easier. Plus the full page already completely rendered visually reminds me why I wanted to read it later.

For the webpages I consider as reference material, I do bookmark those.
The former is valid, the latter I disagree with strongly. Specifically...

Too bad.

There are costs and risks in employment and employees are exposed to lots of risks that can result in health issues, sudden termination (layoff) and a myriad of other problems, the slight risk an employer accepts when hiring new employees and investing in training absolutely can be offset by insurance (employers can get targeted insurance against key personnel departures and against sudden wave departures). So... too bad. Violating this layer of privacy yields nearly no business benefit and costs sanity.

Please make sure you are familiar with the best practices of providing a minimal, complete, verifiable example (MCVE).

https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve

In my experience, 90% of moderating questions on SO is linking people to this doc and asking them to apply it. A lot of these users just didn't know this doc exists or haven't read it yet and are then able to edit their question to be answerable and meet community standards.

I've been on Stack Overflow for almost 10 years and very rarely to never see a question with a MCVE and steps to reproduce get downvoted. The more effort you put into asking a question well the more likely it is to get rewarded with upvotes and good answers.

Could someone quote from the book the claim on longevity or "All Cause Mortality" that this post is refuting?

The book is primarily about correlating the Western diet and animal protein with some western diseases.

There is no data here about the central claims of the book.

I read the book and don't remember the specific claims about longevity. I wouldn't be surprised if he found a correlation with longevity, though.

The US NIH found that Seventh-Day Adventists tend to live 4-10 years longer than the general population on a primarily vegetarian diet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day_Adventist_Church#H...

The large scale "Nurses Study" and the "Health Professionals Follow-up Study" also correlated plant-based diets with decreased risk of death.

https://www.mygenefood.com/plant-based-diet-longevity/

Also important, plant-rich diets are one of the top solutions for climate change ( https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank ). That's another great reason to scale back animal protein consumption.
My point wasn't that general users are stupid -- far from it! It's that they think about these things differently than programmers do, and so when we build solutions that are optimized for the way we think, we do them a disservice.

In other words, dividing the world into "smart people" (e.g. us) and "dumb people" (e.g. everybody who isn't us) isn't productive. Realizing that there are people out there who think about these things differently than we do, and taking the time to learn how they think and build solutions that respect that, can be.
I have lots of complains about the world, and only so many hours in the day.
Your original point is still cognitive bias. You were likely vetoed by the executive hiring committee who reviews the resume, the work, the answers to interview questions, and and any other information in your hiring packet - with the specific reason for vetoing is not typically shared. Making it to the hiring committee does not guarantee hiring, nor does it guarantee you were the only one going through interviews for the position.

The fact that you have reasoned yourself into a position to blame immigrants for failing the hiring process, without evidence, shows prejudice. I think even you subconsciously know this on a certain level because of your using a throwaway.

Cash transfers to the homeless enough to cover sanitation and other basic needs doesn’t necessarily imply a universal basic income policy.

> If you aren't willing to open your wallet right here, right now and help out poor people you personally know, I am skeptical that "someday" will ever come.

I sometimes buy lunch for homeless people in my neighborhood, and have given people blankets and cash before, and donated to charities focused on helping the homeless, but it’s pretty hard as an individual to fully help someone who has lots of problems to find all the help they need and get into a stable comfortable situation, without making it a significant long-term project, and taking on huge amounts of personal responsibility. This is frankly a better job for publicly funded social workers, but I have a ton of admiration for any private citizens willing to take it on.

Myself, I don’t have the spare attention or resources to drive someone to work every day, talk to them every day to make sure they stay on track, put them up in my house, hire them for a permanent job, etc. I have enough trouble just taking care of myself and my own small children. My meager bits of help (one meal, a blanket, a respectful conversation, lending someone a phone for a few minutes, ...) might be appreciated but are hardly life changing.

Some of the homeless people I have talked to had trouble getting a job because they didn’t have a regular place to shower, didn’t have clean unripped clothes, etc., and then had trouble holding down a job once they got one because they had substance abuse problems, didn’t have enough structure in their lives to show up on time every shift, and so on. Of course the biggest and most obvious problem was a lack of housing. Which I really have no fix for. It’s a large-scale social problem which can best be tackled collectively.

Prioritize replication. You can win with 1 in Speed and 1 in Exploration. Hazard Remediation should be 3 to 5 depending if you have the upgrades. And a 4 or 5 in Combat when you get it. Everything else should be put in Self-Replication.

You want to be over 10 Probe Trust when you start thinking about putting anything into Speed or Exploration.

Also, take one out of Hazard Remediation to put into any of the three Production skills as needed.

Once you see the percentage of universe explored start ticking up on the screen, the game is over. With a high enough Self-Replication, your growth is closer to exponential than linear. Doesn't matter if you're slow and don't explore far, you will just occupy the entire universe.

> Why don't I see the same fervor targeted at the likes of Walmart, who dominates traditional retail?

The media spent the entire 1990s and early 2000s very aggressively attacking Walmart at every turn. They were the destroyers of all small towns; they were the anti-labor bully; they were the crusher of mom & pop shops everywhere. Some of it was accurate, some of it was typical media propaganda appealing to their audience. Walmart is still basically barred from opening stores in New York and San Francisco because of the Walmart-as-villain press job from that time.

The way this works is, now it's Amazon's turn to be the villain because they're the new giant on the block. Fair or not, it always works that way (see Microsoft today, vs Google as the new 1990s-Microsoft-style villain getting endless amounts of negative press; tomorrow some company will be the new villain that replaces Google in the media, and Google will be the old, less-feared company in the style of Microsoft now; and on it goes). No doubt Walmart is relishing that aspect of having to compete with them.

I remember in the old iBooks back when WiFi was a new thing you could order without it and install your own card later in about 15 seconds.

There were little sprung pull tabs between some of the function keys, pull them back, lift the keyboard out, AirPort card slot was right there. RAM slots too.

And the removable keyboard, gosh! Those keyboards didn’t just shit the bed if a piece of dust got in them, but even if they had it was a separate part that you could swap out without replacing half the computer. Good times.

I have a 2016 MBP now. Betting the resale value when the 4-year keyboard warranty runs out is going to be about what the rest of the computer is worth for spare parts.

You probably already know this but for anyone else reading: "from" isn't quite the same as "sender" (there's also a Sender field and it's optional).

Can you expand on why it's not the right answer? (For what?)

The following arguments for case-sensitivity come to mind:

- Different locales treat uppercasing and lowercasing differently. In Turkish, for instance, the dotted and dotless letter I are two different letters, unlike languages where dotless uppercase I corresponds to dotted lowercase i. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I

- There are common codebases that have files that differ only in case - for instance, the Linux kernel source tree itself has include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_rateest.h and include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.h with different contents.

Can you supply some arguments against case-sensitivity?
Your initial point was that we should not assume "Evolution" means biological evolution. Let's remember that and proceed:

In a pedantic sense, saying that "it evolved" means nothing because everything "evolved" for some suitable non-Darwinian interpretation of what "evolved" means. For example, if you're willing to not assume "Evolution" implies "biological evolution" then why not argue that woman evolved from man's rib as per the Bible and that man "evolved" from dirt?

"Evolution" without explicit context, and perhaps additional qualification (e.g. "the evolution of our solar system") means that as much as it means nothing.
These contaminants stories spread unnecessary paranoia among those with an already irrational fear of things like radiation.

Then they create complacency among those who notice we're talking microscopic amounts and changes.

But the thing is that this release of radioactive elements can still cause substantial problems, not everywhere you detect traces but specific areas where various factors reconcentrate such light or heavy radioactive elements - the top of the food chain and tbe arctic come to mind but I'd guess we'll find others.

Considering that

[...] a breakdown occurred when the government asked for total and unfettered access to the company’s user base, a request Facebook denied because it would have set a dangerous precedent.

It is particularly alarming they're expanding the scope of their investigation to Google and Twitter.

It is also interesting this happened after they believed they had a settlement and many months of investigation, but only 2 days after FB decided to ban white nationalist content.
Even in the cases where people dress differently than the global norm (ie the Middle East and parts of Africa), clothing is increasingly homogenized throughout the region and each constituent area's unique style has disappeared.

I'm all in favor of trying on other clothing styles. Don't be shy about wearing a Chinese dress to prom. People complain about cultural appropriation, but really, the only way to ensure that modern western clothes don't become the sole form of acceptable formal and casual wear is to let more people wear and provide demand for alternative styles.
