For sure the pronunciation thing is real, either due to regional accents or linguistic divergence; I've heard it firsthand used unironically by Brooklyn and Philly Italian-Americans, as well as ample examples from television and movies. But writing it that way I haven't seen outside of Taleb (and Google seems to bear me out to some extent), and using it that way isn't wrong, per se, it's just an eye-rolling moment; someone trying too hard to show that it isn't book-learning, it's "street-learning".

The `netlify dev --live` command opens up a tunnel to your local dev server port. If you close your laptop, the connection closes. Similarly, if you switch branches, the content of your build will change, even though the URL you've shared remains the same.
I use Netlify, but one of the issues I've had for CMS is easily uploading pictures like Medium. Are there any solutions to this?

I know in the github integration workflow, you have to manually upload the file and then link it which is kind of a pain if doing multiple images.

The article has almost nothing to do with the text of the bill. It looks like the author read a sensational blog post and sensationalized it further.

A subsection of the bill just says that the IRS Free File Program will continue. This doesn't make it harder to do your taxes, nor does it make return free filing illegal (the most sensational of the author's feverish claims, which he goes on about at length). This keeps the status quo.
He was obviously referring to the ones pictured in the bloomberg article.

You basically have it right.

But it's not a misunderstanding. Taleb understands Silver's approach, but thinks it's BS, entertainment not forecasting.

He's right, but I don't know why he cares. The problem isn't that Silver doesn't know math, it's that his goal is to entertain, not predict.

Yeah I was raised similarly (in addition to being a Vegetarian), but let myself slide down the rabbit hole of laziness (desk job) and poor diet (fast food) in my early 20s.

My wife actually learned about it while studying for medical school. It's much more rooted in actually science about how the body actually processes nutrients as opposed to a "woo-woo" fad diet. The goal of Keto is to shift your metabolic process into ketosis so that your liver produces ketone bodies to burn healthy fats as a source of energy once your have depleted your glucose storage.

Basically what researching Ketosis has taught me is that you shouldn't just avoid sugars, white bread, etc. but also limit certain types of fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are high in carbohydrates as they are ultimately converted to glucose and trigger an insulin response. There is some fallacious logic that just because something is a "whole food", "natural" and "not processed" that it is good for you.

Honestly, all you really need to know is that you just have to limit yourself to under 50 net carbs per day to achieve the metabolic state. I highly recommend trying it even if your goal isn't to loose weight as it can lead to better mental performance, reduced risk of heart disease and higher energy levels (as your body burns fat slowly throughout the day as opposed to getting some carbs and then crashing repeatedly).

Sure there is. When I’m done looking at it, I delete the Docker image and it’s gone from my system. That’s more effort with npm.

Also, the docker solution works for everything. So whether it’s a node app, or python, or Go, or Ruby... the process is the same.
They do it for 3 days though which seems more than enough... and you can even manually trigger them from the dashboard. So I'm not really seeing why you can't just rely on Webhooks?

> The best criticism I can come up with is that 538 probably doesn't do a sufficient job of explaining to its audience that their published probabilities are predictions for what would happen if the event occurred today

I don't think that's true. While 538 does such predictions (the “nowcast”), they also predict actual results (the “polls-plus forecast” and the “polls-only forecast”), the default view is a forecast (I think the polls-plus usually, but I vaguely recall a chance to polls-only as the default during the 2016 cycle with concerns that there were reasons to suspect that some of the other signals on the polls-plus model had become less useful.) The “nowcast” is not the the default/headline number, so it would be very odd for a someone to mistakenly fixate on it thinking it was the forward-looking prediction.
I know that this is probably exactly what you mean, but Wolfram doesn't have the best reputation for humility himself.
If Nate Silver took the predictions for "if the event were to happen today" and pretended it was a prediction for the future event, he'd be wrong, but that's how most people interpret his predictions anyway so that makes him effectively wrong anyway.

Exit polls are of course asking for voting preference today, because no person in their right mind would ever answer differently for "who would you vote for today?" versus "who will you vote for on November 4?" so it doesn't matter.

The problem is, we don't care about what would happen if the election were to be run today. We care about what will happen when the election actually occurs. What we want is a prediction that takes the polls into account but also factors in all the other information we have that could be used to try and predict the future election (e.g. trying to identify whether changes in a candidates polling numbers are likely to be temporary or reflect a permanent shift, identifying historical trends that can be used to predict future behavior, etc). I realize that predicting the future is much harder than predicting the hypothetical of what would happen today, but predicting the future is the whole point of forecasting.

There is value in being able to tease out the "accurate" voter sentiments today from the various polls and accounting for uncertainty and error, but that value is primarily in how we can then turn around and use that information to aid in future forecasting, and how candidates can use that data to gauge the effects of what they're doing. But without an attempt at forecasting the future, this is largely useless to the general population.

Yes, this is the source of the disagreement. Silver, I think, probably gets the math. But his aim is to entertain.

Taleb's aim is something like predictive rigor. God knows why he cares about Silver. I think everyone gets that Silver is doing entertainment.
Yes, I agree - it was nice to hear her iterate that. I have learnt the exact same thing in my two decades as an adult: it doesn't matter really in the end what decision you make, it's how you make it work (and you do have to work at it).

Honestly it's really unlikely that bitcoin will be the place where energy efficient cryptocurrency will be debuted.

There's lots of people working on more energy efficient, yet still secure cryptocurrencies, but IMO we won't see truly energy efficient cryptocurrencies until we shift the trust away from the central chain and into individual actors.

Theoretically you should be able to establish a trust coefficient for an action given the signature of the actor & the gossip on the network about their outstanding debts, their current balance & their non-transferable value.

You'd still need to pay the cost for obtaining the information about the actor and a method for verifying that you haven't been subjected to a sybill attack w.r.t. that information, but that amount of data transfer/computation should be orders of magnitude lower than the current PoW technique that bitcoin uses.

There's no way that the rough system I am talking about would be adopted by bitcoin, and I'm not gonna be working on it, I haven't seen a project that looks similar so I'm guessing it will still be quite some time.

If I was going to go with a cryptocurrency that is energy efficient and currently exists I'd probably take a serious look at https://www.nanode.co/

The military used to be a significantly larger percentage of the budget than it is now, but it's not because the military is any smaller. It's because spending on retirees is exploding. Nobody really wants to admit this because the reason the costs are exploding is that there are so many more people over retirement age, which also means that there are more voters over retirement age, which makes it politically very difficult to do anything about it. But it's a serious problem -- how are we supposed to sustain spending more than half of the government budget on retirees?

And the DoD and the VA are also considered separately, but let's not pretend they're unrelated. If you have twice as many soldiers today then you need twice the VA budget tomorrow.

Everything went fine, until I noticed WhatsApp web becomes unusable, because it does not generate the initial QR code for establishing the session (to be fair, it flickers, which seems worse, as it smells of an active countermeasure on WhatsApp/Facebook part).

While I did I not have yet the time do dig deep into the specific technical reason WhatsApp may have to expose such a maddening behavior, I am inclined to think that this is more a policy choice.

If so, it's troublesome. We collectively as users arrived to the point of willingly give up the keys of our online communication to a few megacompanies. It's their infrastructure and their product, so they are in power of steering it in whatever direction it wants.

I see this as something that will increasingly become a political problem. As tech versed person, I see the responsibility for not doing enough about it.

You'd lose your $5. BMO's online banking system is an outgrowth of their telephone banking system, which used 4-6 digit PINs. (Thankfully not the same PINs as used with their bank cards though! Or rather, each card had two PINs, one for use as a card and one for use with telephone/internet banking.)

sometimes it is right to treat scenarios that are fundamentally similar as different beasts in practice when those scenarios are actually happening at very different scales.

i (and many others) believe that surveillance is like this. the effort that it takes to do what your describing does not scale, and cannot be used to implement dragnet surveillance and data collection (unless it's a police state and you have a lot of notetakers). lots of people (myself and many others) think dragnet surveillance (whether by private entities or governments) is a thing to be avoided (because it creates really bad power asymmetries, which i think are inherently a bad thing).

also, i don't think that large companies should be granted the same rights as individuals. just because a person can do a thing on their own doesn't mean that a large entity should be able to do something similar in spirit at thousands or millions of times the scale.
What are you basing this assumption on?

(IANAL) Good luck in your case, as it appears there is a government-created monopoly at work. I do believe ICC should own and control the copyrights to their work, however.

It seems wrong that local and state governments can both (a) release themselves of their own governing decisions by choosing a sole-sourced third party to write the regulations and (b) allow that third party to control access to the regulations at the same time. However, having myself visited an area in an underdeveloped country which was basically a shantytown, we should all recognize that building codes improve the lives of everyone.

The only real outcome that fits my IANAL vision of the law is to break up this monopoly and for local governments adopt and subsequently outline the codes themselves. The business could maybe then become selling those codes as a vendor to the government, but the governments themselves are the ones publishing them to their citizens.
