I guess fast food burgers is where a lot of meat is consumed but ... oddly I find most fast food burgers to not taste like beef. Or maybe it is better said they taste "like" beef.

I'll be happy to replace meat with better alternatives when they come, but at least from my perspective it's not a huge step, although maybe it will make a big difference in the larger scope.
Obviously space should be remapped to a hit on a snare or bass drum.
Aha, thank you for jogging me grey matter, I had one as well (got one with a couple of friends and formed a band - one gig wonder). Had a TR707 as well, fun times and great intro into music. Did enjoy the CX5M immensely, though went out of my way to avoid any preset sound. Once you've owned a synth, you just recognise all the presets in all the songs, but was easier back then unlike todays sample world.

I did prefer the bass sounds on the Casio Phase Distortion synths though over the FM options as sounded richer (at least for me).

Heads up, Sydney's median multiple was 13 at the end of 2017! I think it's come down a bit but not that much.

We do have a pretty awesome train network though, I don't own a car and it's wonderful.

Medicare and Medicaid are much simpler to deal with than a large private insurer.

Government workers are cheap. The UnitedHealthcare ceo made $100M a few years ago.
Perhaps, but Facebook to the best of my knowledge doesn't claim to be a journalistic outlet. Independence of the press is very important, or at least should be, to everyone. For it to be ok for the NYT to write whatever it wants means it's also ok for the Economist or the Globe & Mail to write whatever they want.
ThunderMag supports 5K video and 100W power delivery.
If you understand a software task well enough to profile, optimize, and make correct predictions about it (the way UPS does with package delivery, or Lennar with exurb manufacturing), you understand it well enough to build a reusable solution. If you have good architecture and code reuse, the share of time that a team spends on well-understood tasks with accurate estimates should approach zero. Software scales - that's the point.
That's true. But I have seen many STEM students flocking to consulting, investment banking, law, MD, etc.
Article reminded me of this YT video from Wendover Productions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9poImReDFeY. It covers many of the same topics with specific numbers used for comparisons in fares and fuel usage.
I agree. That’s the only type of use of OKRs I’ve ever seen or heard of, across several jobs and big, small, young and old companies.

People who get shit done do so in spite of OKRs or other formalisms like Agile. OKRs do not help orient work towards what matters, maintain accountability, alert management to schedule slippage, or unify team efforts. OKRs are cargo cult metrics for middle management to bend the ear of higher management to argue and gladhand for bonuses & promotions.
Trying to sweep human rights violations, to put it as mildly as humanly possible, under the rug, using threats by your own admission, is nothing? Why is your default position here whataboutism?
Even with super HD video evidence, the police aren't going to spend thousands of dollars tracking down who stole your worthless phone unless you're someone of influence. And, if the footage is theirs, they're not even going to bother releasing it so you can get some kind of social justice, because that cost them time and money too.
Ah, so are you a higher-up or a drone? I'm confused. Oh, no, you must be the "individual contributor". Right?

I'd say I have some pretty smart people working for me but large orgs are large because they have lots of work that needs doing and the big chunks are big enough the people doing the work tend to self-organize. Some work never stops (e.g. healthcare) so you have to establish shift work. Does that mean those people are drones? They might be young, they might enjoy a sense of belonging and camaraderie, even when things suck, and maybe they would benefit from some additional experiential learning of discipline, but does that mean they're drones? Did you consider the fact that my direct reports themselves have advanced degrees?

A word of advice ... the worst thing I could have done to you right now is ignore you and let your opinion fester. Maybe step back, have all the disdain for me you want, but I hope you at least read this far.
Of course not, but rituals that survive probably have some kind of objective survival value, so it's reasonable to try to figure out what these ancient food taboos origin really are.

For example, shell fish were probably or average unhealthy to eat back in the day. So claiming God commanded The People to not eat it was the FDA implementation of its time.
As I said in the parent post, I agree, and I am in fact tapering. I'm down to half my original dose. I'm taking it slow. This is something where you really need to listen to your body; it isn't helpful to have a set plan. You need a goal, but you also need to be flexible about it.

I tried CBT, and it didn't work. Admittedly I only tried it once. There are lots of different flavors of CBT for insomnia, and maybe if I had tried harder I could have found one that did work. The problem is finding a doctor who knows about it and will work with you, especially if you don't live in a big city.

Benzodiazepines are worrisome drugs, but I have to admit that for my insomnia, they were almost magic. Once we got the dose right it went away almost literally overnight. But then, as the OP illustrates, doctors aren't necessarily helpful in getting back off them.
There's currently a "small donor boom" on the Democratic side (possibly Republicans too, I'm unsure). Super PACs etc are fading in importance, in this cycle at least.

Getting to a particular mountain is solved. This isn't a comparison of some tourist experience in a country the size of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Its about the freedom to explore our great national parks, etc.
That ski game reminds me so much of the Olympic Games Pack that Microsoft sold as an add on to the original games (Solitaire, Minesweeper etc.) that can installed with Windows back in the day.

I must say that those little mini games were some of the most enjoyable ones I've ever played. Useful to burn a few minutes while waiting for compile to finish or a call to be returned. I've never really gone for any really immersive games in my time.

Nowadays, my favourite game to kill a few minutes at a doctor's surgery or something is F-Sim. It doesn't classify as a simple game, but just 2 minutes as a test of skill to shoot a random approach and landing in the Space Shuttle and I am happy.
I'm not anthropomorphizing the animal, I'm drawing a distinction between the ethical considerations when autonomy is a factor and when autonomy is not a factor. You compared them earlier, I questioned the value of that comparison (a human can give their milk; it is taken from the animal).

None of that is an argument that it is necessarily unethical or immoral to take milk from an animal.

Repeating the point: to me, the ethics of collecting milk from autonomous creatures that willingly give it are a separate thing from the ethics of taking milk from creatures that do not have autonomy.
> Cultural Marxism

For what it's worth, unlike Christianity, Islam, Freemasonry, etc. there is no such thing as 'cultural marxism'. The modern usage seems to be as a catch-all term used by (literal) fascists and fascist-associated groups for literally any progressive or postmodern viewpoint, but in addition usually has the connotations of 'cultural perversion' and 'conspiracy'. Prior usage seems to be to describe an anti-semitic conspiracy theory (that is in part related to modern usage), and the term as a whole dates back to when it was coined by the German Nazi Party ("Cultural Bolshevism" - Kulturbolschewismus) to describe modernist art movements that they thought were 'degenerative'.

Rational Wiki's second description is incredibly descriptive:

""""Cultural Marxism" (both uppercase) is a common snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science and are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Some variants of the conspiracy allege that basically all of modern social liberalism is, in fact, a Communist front group."""

>Your logic doesn't leave room for the possibility that there is a correlation between electability and ability to raise funds. I.e. the candidate most likely to win raises more funds and not vice versa.

That's circular logic. "They must be the most qualified, because they raised the most money and the person who gets elected is the one who raised the most money".

In a functioning democracy there should be a cliff where, no matter how much you spent, you cannot simply buy the election.
I unsubscribed when the editor in chief was replaced in around 2000 (can't remember the exact year). It became more "political" and "business" and less "hacker"
Agreed. This crazy level of group-think will be detrimental.
The problem isn't solely other cars, Ubers or any other scapegoats; it's the layout of American cities making MOST of them purposefully unwalkable and the destruction/atrophy of public transportation, leading to long commutes and gridlock. Recall that the auto makers bought/legislated their way to destroy an once vibrant local tram infrastructure in America. One "quick-fix panacea solution" isn't going to do much; it's going to take a concerted effort of many, integrated, holistic solutions to make things better.
Folding Ideas Pivots to Fortnite
Sort of. As soon as I have something working locally that does the thing I set out to do, I commit it locally on a new branch with a WIP: commit message. I can then amend it with improvements or move on to adding more commits, each with a separate message.
the whole notion of 'electability' is a ruse created by democrats to push voters towards politicians that agree more with the corporate wing of the party than any issues people care about. if electability was actually a thing, trump would not have won.

I normally live in Europe. At the moment I'm in Baltimore. The city's downtown area (around the inner harbor) is perfectly walkable. Nearby DC is also perfectly walkable, while driving is a nightmare. These two cities should be well connected by rail but they're not. People would drive to a parking lot beside a metro station and get into the city that way.

Two cities can only be linked effectively by rail when there aren't stops between them. That's impossible in America, where suburban areas are the political battlegrounds while cities are single-party fiefdoms.
Could you talk about introducing OKR into a large organisation where they didn't exist before - why did they become useful as opposed to things like Slack for example.

I'm genuinely struggling to understand the place of a construct like OKR in a world where Slack like tools exist.
By virtue of locating you via TripleByte, those 2nd/3rd/etc. companies revealed their goal is explicitly to dramatically underpay you, through a hiring platform that enables them to treat you like a commodity.

If you’re OK with that, then by all means use that commodity portal to seek jobs. I mean that sincerely. If you prefer to trade possibly tens of thousands of dollars of salary, bonuses, equity or other compensation for some vague ease of access “value-add” of a platform that makes your resume function like Tinder for jobs, then you would not be irrational to search via TripleByte.

For me, for example, the fact that those positions can be matched up to me on TripleByte would literally make me reject those jobs. No thanks. I’ll either pay for a private recruiter that essentially functions like a personal talent agent, or I’ll find networking events or other boutique application portals to use that keep me exclusively looking at jobs that pay competitive rates. Hell, I’d sooner just send cold application emails through regular company HR websites than agree to be the commodity product of TripleByte.
I hope you're reading all applications. I've applied last time and didn't receive any confirmation.
A good thought exercise is to ask yourself, "Is it possible an engineer achieves every OKR yet is the worst employee at the organization?" and "Is it possible an employee achieves NO okr and is the best?"

I feel I could think of examples. There are so many dimensions of valuable work (no security holes, being nice, not reinventing the wheel, documenting well, long-term stability/refactorability, code being reusable by other teams) but I imagine OKRs can't cover all those facets.

It almost seems as fruitless as trying to measure friendship by OKRs.

Because it's a classic flamewar topic which leads away from the specifics of this story and towards generic hostilities; and because taking a stronger interpretation of the comment would have made the question unnecessary—i.e. scott_s is probably just as aware as the rest of us that fish are animals and their flesh is in that sense meat, and therefore he was probably just not using the word 'meat' in that sense.

scott_s replied in an evenhanded way, but many (maybe most) commenters in his position would have taken the question as hostile and responded in kind.
Closed-Loop Intelligence: A Design Pattern for Machine Learning
>I think that Google's available talent pool is shrinking. Many very talented engineers have left, and many new potential engineers would not want to work there. Sure, there are still plenty who do, but I would say their options are narrowing over time.

I think you overestimate how skilled you need to be to work at Google. Google has famously put people through enormous hoops to work there, regardless of the complexity the engineering the new hire will work on.

Organizations like NSA also have a negative reputation, but find plenty of people to hire. They just look outside Stanford,CMU, etc.

I suspect that as the people who don't have to work there stop applying, Google will widen it's parameters to snare in the people who have to work there.

(I've met many a person at Defcon who did a stint in the intel community because they saw it as the only path to a high paying job if you don't have an elite upbringing and don't want to directly kill people.)
Author here. The immune system is known to participate in a cancer response. With DNA sequencing, we can sequence the immune receptors in a tumor. From each tissue sample, we get a set of immune receptor sequences.

In this study, we compare immune receptor sequences from tumor tissue to adjacent healthy tissue. Using "Multiple Instance Learning" we perform machine learning on the sets of immune receptor sequences to identify immune receptors that may be involved in the cancer response.

Perhaps nobody but a humble portion of people consciously interested in real news above "what they want to hear" kind of news is going to pay for real news. Most of the freely available mainstream news channels will always be biased by definition because telling people what they want to hear is the way they gain the ratings they can monetize and manipulating public opinion is a major way of monetization.
Okay, so the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" wasn't Marxist? And what about the many, many scholars who tried to understand culture using a Marxist, historically-materialist analysis, e.g. in Britain? Just because "Cultural Marxism" was picked up as a label by conspiracy theorists, doesn't mean that nothing like it exists in the real world.

Editor's note here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt833403

Instead of a tactical exploration of a thorny technical problem or new tool, this article digs into patterns and practices that can be critical to a successful machine learning project. The article delves into four key aspects of machine learning management: Connecting with users to enable closed-loop feedback, applying machine learning to the right objectives, building systems to support machine learning-based solutions, and understanding what goes into running a machine learning-based system.
Is a right to privacy expected in public?

Regardless, the fact that there is a street light next to my house, almost over my property, which is most definitely not public, is very concerning.
The reason of automobile dominance is more that unlike other countries, we went all in on highways and just actively dismantled existing rail infrastructure. And then to salt the wounds, our parking requirements are so high that in many suburbs I've been in, the ten minute walk from the front door of Walmart to the bus stop is ridiculous.

Rail does better when congestion is high and density is high, but in most of America high density or even medium density is either illegal to build or requires so much parking because of zoning that it does not pencil out financially.

The quickest thing America could do to encourage dense construction is to stop the requirement of parking with new construction. Developers do not need to be told a minimum to build, they will build what the market will bear because if they underpark their buildings no one will rent units or office space.
I don't feel like you can always wave deadlines away. There's always events like conferences, big customers on the hook for a sale, end of quarter, etc. I'd settle for reasonable discussions about scope trade-offs, resources, etc.
> For starters, do you actually believe that, or are you just playing devil's advocate?

I do actually believe morality is essentially a preference, like taste for chocolate. I have read some works arguing the opposite; I did not find them convincing, as very few presented any kind of evidence (scientific or otherwise).

Moral relativism is the agnostic position, anything else must be supported by evidence, or it's just faith.

> if, say, you see a guy roofie a stranger's drink, you don't sit back and ponder whether the rape he's planning has meaning in the grand sense. You do something about it. Or at least I hope you do.

This question arises from the confusion that moral universalists get into due to their own position. They assume the universally shared moral value that if two things have equal worth (in this case, my morality and the roofier's), one must treat them the same. But one shouldn't assume such shared values, let alone with moral relativists.

I can recognize that my morality is no "better" than the roofier's, and still stop him, just because I want to. A football player doesn't have to assume they are more worthy of winning to try to score more than their opponents.
While it might not always be a huge leap between languages, I think it would be a bit more work to explain something like this to a PHP user: "We used reflection to modify the expression tree Entity Framework generated from this SQLFunctions.DateDiff call to allow dynamic ranges to be used. This has saved us thousands of lines of boilerplate code, but it should only be used in non-critical locations, like reports, as it depends on the internal implementation of the expression tree using a list, which is not guaranteed under any circumstances, but very unlikely to change."

I'm sure there are similar situations going from .NET to PHP. I think they would understand the implications, but I'm not sure they would be able to quickly fix it if the expression tree implementation changed and they had to determine which implementation was being used with reflection.

That said, I would hire the PHP/Ruby programmer who didn't run screaming at the use of reflection and monkey patching over a .NET/Java developer with no interest in all the neat things their language of choice can do to eliminate massive amounts of boilerplate code.
