Some issues in the discussion:

Scope: Many equate maths physics and universe all and only science. Whilst they may be “easy” science not all human observed phenomenon are reduced to them. Even left and right wing ideology?

Process-wise: whether the in principle refutatable may be naive to describe how human work (and likely we do not all do maths in axiomic way). It is a way to make a distinction of science and myth (and in maths axiom is good for proof not necessarily generate maths)
There's an interview with Noam Chomsky somewhere in which he talks about his surprise at having his phone (tapped/found can't remember) after attending a protest in the 60s or 70s.

I don't remember the exact details but I remember thinking "wow it really wasn't all that different then" when I saw it.
Additionally, I can personally vouch for Peter Kovac, the author of the rebuttal to Flash Boys: https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Boys-Insiders-Perspective-High-...

I can vouch for Peter because I worked with him for close to 5 years at Madison Tyler Trading / EWT, LLC (which later merged with Virtu Financial).

He’s a very talented technologist who build the real-time clearing and risk system along with an encyclopedic memory of financial regulations and nuance. He always stuck out to me as an “honest to a fault” kind of guy, and that is one of the reasons we got on so well, as I was never much for nuance.
Vscode integrates ripgrep by default in their “search project” feature.

I mostly use Vscode because of its fast search, decent auto complete and simple editing experience.

> By one estimate from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state needs to build 1.8 million units over the next seven years just to keep pace with population growth

You need to build about 257k just to keep up with growth, not to address any sort of shortage. This to me should sound like a builder's gold rush. Why are builders not flocking to CA to build? Are there some stringent set of regulations that greatly reduce the economic feasibility? Is this Prop 13 proving to be a failure?
I buy my supplements like vitamins, protein bars and powder from Amazon. The stock mingling and counterfeits is worrying me now. Should I switch to local shops or am i being too paranoid? For non edibles, with all the fake review sites out there, are sites like the wirecutter and consumer report still trust worthy?
My last employer sent out a company-wide email asking every employee (and their friends and family) to order their flagship product (IoT device) on Amazon, write a 5-star review and e-mail the marketing department for reimbursement and product return. The returned products would then be re-shipped to Amazon.

Needless to say, it was the shortest time I've ever spent at a job.

This! Shareholders either extract value through capital gains or through dividends.

And if you eliminate the corporate tax, it follows that repealing the bush tax cuts would be a thing, because no more double taxation argument.
Companies already sometimes report two numbers, based on GAAP and some other number that's supposedly more informative. I guess they'd do that even more, and stockholders would understand GAAP as the profits for tax purposes (so, lower) and do their own estimates of the "real" profits.

Andrew Yang's proposal of doing a VAT might be another way around it, though I'd guess that probably has other problems.

I loved the image of her, it's such an all-time classic, but I agree that her treatment was unfortunate. It seemed like a rush to narrative to me, which was totally unnecessary given how special the moment clearly was. To me, it kind of casts a pall over both such an amazing discovery and amazing moment of humanity.

Remarkably I think today was the first time I recall seeing the name of even the director of the project (much less other teammates who may have had major roles) after having seen various posts about this over the past week.
Two major and quite distinctive improvements of the school I noticed from the article:

* Improving parental involvement and the parents’ attention to their own education

* Utilizing the hidden power of role models: LeBron James and each kid’s parents

Students spend significantly more time at home than at school. Parents interact with each kid one-on-one or in a small group. Thus, they can have much more influence than teachers on the kid’s attitude, motivation, and habits regarding education.

If we look at a broader picture, most countries that do well in PISA, an international assessment of academic skills for school students, strongly value education at every level of society starting from parents and family. This includes Vietnam, a relatively poor country which, at rank 22, does better than quite a few Western European ones.

The US, at rank 31, should study this school and expand on good lessons learned from the experiment.

Michael Lewis is a former trader himself. I find it hard to believe he could get things that wrong.
When buying on Amazon, I'm mostly interested in the 2-4 range reviews; I find this is where people discuss the pros/cons instead of just the pros (5 - best product ever!1!) and just the worst (1 - it had a defect because I threw it in the pool even though it said don't throw it in the pool and the company doesn't want to reimburse me, never buying from it again yadayada - kind of reviews).

I was on cocoa beach for the FH demo flight. As hard as I tried to experience it with my eyes I couldn’t help but try to take some video. But it’s true what they say - one or the other. Make your decision to watch or film but don’t do both! I would say if you don’t have a tracking tripod forget the video and just watch a replay when you get back home.
Yes, and my experience doing so only cements the opinion(s) expressed in my previous comment—to which I'm inclined to say your reply is not terribly relevant.

Ambiguous, poorly presented, and technically dense are three different things, though they can all be present in the same place. Only two of them are necessarily bad.
Incels had basically become an alias for scum. It's simply an insult. Now it reveals more about the person using it than the person being accused of it.
It gets even worse that true 5 stars and low ratings can get flagged for false review by Amazon's algo.

Last year there was a posting on hackernews how this person lost his Amazon account as it got flagged on its first review with a long history of purchases.
On the other hand, Finland is often touted as having a great educational system and they very explicitly do not segregate by ability, rather they try to lift all boats. The problem of "smart kids getting bored or not having opportunities to excel" somehow does not seem to be an issue (I am a bit confused that this is the case).
The Twitter/news world (it's amazing how closely they track each other) casts a pall over great achievements regularly. Remember the Hawaiian shirt guy? It's time to transced the reality TV stuff, amazing thing are happening.
This site looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Forgive me for being naive, but isn't this an easy problem to solve? Amazon tracks shipments, I assume. Couldn't they just create a mechanism where a completed shipment gives the purchaser one allowance for adding a review? This way you can only review if Amazon has verified that you bought the product.

I must be missing something crucial here.
Investors can delay capital gains tax by not selling their shares. If they delay them until they die, they don't pay capital gains at all. (Step-up basis for their heirs.)

You kind of want to collect at least some taxes in the year the economic activity happened.
I have some friends who were in an Indian outsourcing company which shall remain nameless. One of them described how they had an "A Team" which was made up of smart, sharp individuals. When they wanted a contract, they'd send this A-team to really impress the clients. Once they had the contract in hand, this A-team would be tasked to get the next contract, and replaced with run-of-the-mill average (or even below average) talent to save on the cost. Rinse, lather repeat.
Ignore the score - pull up the critical reviews and look for common themes.

Code that you've written also tends to be code you have an understanding of, and thus much easier to debug than a maze of third-party dependencies.

The extreme aversion to "reinventing the wheel" leads to things like left-pad.
You didn't lose anything that you know about, but that's only because OSX cannot tell when something gets lost. If a single bit were flipped in one of your files, it might look like a typo, or single frame of video with a minor glitch, or it might be a program that crashed for no apparent reason.

I use ZFS, and there aren't errors all that often; only once in the last four years or so. ZFS was able to recover the data and give it to the application, and everything was fine. The only reason I know about it is that ZFS keeps a count of how often it happens on every drive in your system: not very often, but too often.
So do they still use PowerPoint like this?
Totally agree. I won't but stuff on Amazon for ME to eat. Much more so anything that's going into a baby's body.
I have zero experience seeing black people being treated badly, or gay people, or children being abused... This type of anecdote carries no water and is an attempt to deny that people have different experiences based on their identities. It shouldn't matter in our world today, but it does.

Not really the same kind of trader, was he? Wasn't Lewis a bond salesman?
lots of examples of fake reviews on goods that show up in common search results:

e.g. https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Headphones-Sweatproof-Compat...

clicking through on a reviewer shows, for example, an account with 82 5-star reviews, all posted today, April 15th:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AFZWITCLSKYQH...

Seems like posting 82 5-star reviews in a single day should probably trigger some sort of anti-fraud mechanism?
Because it highlights their real motives. Why not give everyone the ability to securely communicate? profits > privacy.
- Ceartian people own certain systems/projects.

- Ownership is only the point person of knowlage/direction/insights

- Anyone can work on the code "owned" by someone else

- Idealy the writer fixes their own bugs and does their own refactoring (for speed and learning reasons) but that should NEVER obstruct delivery of a feature or value add to the company.

The moment a team starts pointing fingers for issues or starts building moats around "their" code then you have a toxic environment.

Strongly recommend Dark Pools for people interested in this topic from just a sort of history-of-technology perspective; it also covers a much longer span of history. Dark Pools also takes kind of a gimlet eye to algorithmic trading, in case anyone thinks the recommendation is because the author thinks the opposite thing to Lewis.

hits close... I have not been to the office in over two months. Longest before that was three months. When I first started to work remote I felt nervous about being away for more than a week or two, thinking it would cause problems. As time has gone on though, I started to feel that as long as I have a project to work on and stay verifiably productive, I don't worry about it as much anymore.

Do you use jupyter notebooks for every part of your work flow?

If so, you could commit them to a git repo every hour or two, with a commit message that summarises what you've done in that time.

That way, you can run 'git log' to look back over time. If you have good commit messages, you won't need to roll back and look at previous notebook versions, but you can use that as a fall-back if you need to know exactly what you did at a certain step.

> configuration files are often not only supposed to be machine readable, but also machine writable.

Config files which are expected to be written by both humans and machines are a fairly rare use case. Most config files are either editable by hand (e.g. /etc/), or editable though an UI (e.g. Firefox), but not both.

As far as I know, op-ed stood for opinon editorial. To say it is "opposite of the editorial board" doesn't make sense when the editorial board themselves contribute to the op-ed. For example, the editorial board endorsed hillary clinton on their op-ed. How could that possibly be "opposite of the editorial board"?

Also, david brooks is a well established journalist who has written for the nytimes for a long time. Not saying he speaks for The NYTimes but I'm sure he expressed some of their sentiments.

In our legal system, we have the concept innocent until proven guilty. "Didn't find proof of collusion" means there wasn't any collusion for all intents and purposes. To claim collusion without proof is partaking in the world of conspiracy theories.

As for Mueller's statement, of course it doesn't exonerate Trump. In order to be exonerated, you have to be convicted of a crime first. You are exonerated of convictions. You also aren't exonerated for russian collusion because you've never been convicted of russian collusion. Mueller's statement apllies to you, me and pretty much everyone on earth.

You make it impossible to have a logical and rational conversation because you've decided to reject logic and rationality for politics, semantics and conspiracy theory. This is why the surge of politics on social media worries me.
One of my college instructors talked about this back in 2005 - did it really take this long for the tech to mature?
> 1. I have zero experience seeing women in STEM treated badly. I'm sure it exists, but I've never seen it. Exactly the contrary. So whenever I personally see these articles, I think it's a solution looking for a problem.

I don't get this kind of reasoning at all. It really doesn't matter if you personally have not experienced such kind of behavior, only that we have reasonable evidence to believe it does. And as journalists have shown over the past couple of years, abuse of vulnerable women/minorities is a lot more widespread than what it was earlier believed to be.
Where are my tax dollars going?
"Never seen it," holds more water than nothing, after all if it was common enough everyone would see it all the time. There's no doubt that it happens but you can't just assume from the outside that someone is secretly in a horrible situation just because they're of a certain race gender age etcetera.

Hopefully we can get across to kids, don't avoid STEM out of fear, because there's definitely not a 100% chance that you will be signing yourself up for a lifelong struggle. One time someone told me that the worst part was how the other gender was extremely awkward around them in college. No, you are not going to have to storm the beaches of Normandy.

Problem is its not even a scummy thing to do. Its just the only way to do business on Amazon. If every single company is faking the reviews then you can not afford to be the only one not faking them. An individual actor is not able to do the right thing because everyone has to at the same time.
Fair enough, I guess I'm just not the sharing type.
ack and ag (the_silver_searcher) are two distinct tools. The latter automatically excludes .gitignored and binary files, just like ripgrep.

Naps. TFA mentions it in passing, but that's the biggest difference I notice in working remote or working in an office.

Review on the Services of XAP Credit Solution
Hi, I’m Vivica and I live in Alabam. I needed to take of late payments and bankruptcy from my reports. I was going to take a loan to get a bigger house to accommodate my grandparents and I wanted them to move in with me. I got directions from this online platform regarding credit repairs after reading reviews about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION here, I decided to write this review and give a big thumbs up to XAP and their credit repair team. This was 3 weeks ago and I’m glad to share that I have been approved for a mortgage plan at a very cool rate all because XAP cleaned my report and added some positive trade lines to it. should you need removal of negative items on your credit report or credit repair/boost, reach out to XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM/ (972) 597 9704. Thanks a lot
I've switched to Vitacost for my supplements, and am very satisfied. I'm in CA, and they have a warehouse in NV, so I often get my stuff within 48 hours. They have a decent selection, and frequently offer promo codes. Currently, some promo codes can even be combined, although that might not last much longer.

I should add, I don't rely on Vitacost reviews either. I use ConsumerLab to narrow down my choices.

* Systems & organisations that create bias:

Some organisations, like news-sites are dependent on bias. They represent the data in a favourable way. This includes science news. That makes their product more popular.

Then we have organisations that like to represent data overly optimistic or overly dramatic or overly clinical. Again this is to make the product seem better.

Also the peer-review system is a bias creating system. The "best" articles confirm the bias of the peers.

Additionally science-communities are also very strong in excluding unwanted ideas. I found that out when I switched departments. So even the article that you wrote, probably has many biases in them.

* Curing bias:

My strategy to avoid bias is to allow many possible hypotheses, which all should be logical in their own "world".

This requires training, and is not something that we see in education or in news. Representing the data as "facts", does not uncover the assumptions and bias that the data was based on. I think that it is also very important to see logical fallacies in the information. In science this there is often an "expert-bias", where one relies on experts that certainly had a bias too.

To go even further, it is very interesting to look at historical biases and facts that changed during the history. This allows us to look at our personal beliefs from a distance, but also more accepting of possible failure. Even very smart persons made big mistakes or were into things that you would not like.

Time shows that things that we first thought were facts, became false later. So it is also important to keep some humour.

How it typically works is the company requests that you buy the product and tells you they will refund your purchase if you leave a 5 star review. On Amazons side it looks like these people really did buy the product. Fake reviewers get paid in free stuff and the company just uses their marketing budget to give stuff away.
