They do, and it's arguably a big problem, since they aren't trained to make good managerial or investment decisions--just following a formula. And while no accusations have been laid directly, the economic consequences of the votes they have far outweigh their exposure to those decisions, so they're susceptible to corruption.
Just wondering about the actual statistics here...

Is this a higher failure rate than average phones? Or is there a extremely large focus on all of these devices because of what they are, and therefor problems are more "visible" (there's probably an English word for the phenomenon)

There's a gulf between publishing some basic statistics and blasting the specific details of all unsuccessful terrorist attacks that were thwarted.

Surely those statistics can be verified by, say, the House Committee on Homeland Security without needing to leak the details of specific attempts.
In other words it isn't having a checklist, it is actually checking that people follow the checklist. Note that follow the checklist is different from checking all items on the checklist which is an obvious work around to the requirement that you follow a checklist.

"A few", as in 2500? That's roughly the number of working days in a year multiplied by the number of working hours in a military day. What are all those people doing, and is there a distinct set of people doing those things for every aircraft? There must be some other explanation...

With the current love for High deductible plans, it can get much riskier. I just walked away from a plan where I had paid the full Out of pocket max for the year (around $7k), in January. That hurt, but the other offer was good enough.

None of that money translates to the new plan, I'm back to paying deductibles for everything.

As somebody that rarely wants to talk to strangers when I'm out an about, I have found that people will try to initiate conversation no matter how big and obvious your headphones are.

And even when I worked in a fast food joint in the mid 2000s people would frequently come in and order with their headphones on but music paused. So it's not exactly a new phenomenon, just maybe more widely spread.

That said it's pretty weird to wear them during a hair cut. I would be worried about them interfering or getting bits of clipped hair caught in.

A good reusable checklist system can help with this. I've been using an app called SplashShopper since the Palm Pilot days that lets me choose what I need for any particular trip from a list of common items. This lets the list adapt to the particular needs of each trip. It's the only app I've ever found that hits this sweet spot of reusability. Unfortunately the company that makes it does a poor job of updating it for iOS, so I keep an ancient iPad around just so I can keep using it.
It's interesting to me that minimal interaction with strangers is what you would consider polite.

For me its there is an important difference. Airpods are comfortable enough that I often forget that I'm wearing them when they are off. This never happened to me before because the cords were a strong enough reminder.

Because I forget that I have them on, I have many more interactions wearing Airpods than I would have with any other device. This will presumably continually get worse as the batteries and comfort improve for more people, and the Air pod could become more like a hearing aid.
It's interesting to me that minimal interaction with strangers is what you would consider polite.

This article leaves off a very critical detail around why people were critical of the CFPB in the first place.

Contra this statement:

> Their unease had only grown as Mulvaney ordered a hiring freeze, put new enforcement cases on hold and sent the Federal Reserve, which funds the C.F.P.B., a budget request for zero dollars, saying the bureau could make do with the money it had on hand.

That was advertised as a feature of the CFPB when it was originally created, as they are funded from the fines they collect from violations.

Anyone who has a problem with the incentives in privatized prisons should have a problem with the funding structure of the CFPB, as they are both policing for profit.
The idea of giving supervotes to founders is always going to come back and haunt investors. Uber is stuck with Travis. Facebook is stuck with Zuck.

Selling the stock is meaningless, since the crux of the problem is that the problematic individuals control the majority of the votes, while holding a minority of the shares. Look at FB. Zuck personally has 3.98 billion votes. All the other shares only have 2.4 billion votes.
So everyone sells, drives down the price of the stock, and then what? Control doesn't transfer. Literally nothing changed. Hell, it might even get worse, if Zuck decides to purchase Class A shares himself.

I wouldn't describe that strategy as great. Having a desired effect, sure, but the tradeoffs are pretty nasty. And doesn't it create potential situations where you require a lawyer? And what if the laws in Texas change, what then?

This graph is awful and misleading. (The article is fine, I think, but the graph is ridiculous.)

A cursory look would imply that each color segment increments population count in some sort of consistent and logical way, but it doesn't.

The increments are like so:

0 to 1 million

1 million to 5 million (5x increase)

5 million to 10 million (2x)

10 million to 20 million (2x)

20 million to 50 million (2.5x)

50 million to 100 million (2x)

100 million to >500 million (5x+)

That last category is the most misleading, because it paints the US, Russia, China, India, and a bunch of other countries as being in the same league, when they're not even close.

The details show the US at 320 million people, Russia at 144 million, the China at 1.4 BILLION and India at 1.3 Billion.

It's insane that these are grouped together. Totally nonsensical. The difference between China and Russia is about 10x. [UPDATE: My initial bad math said it was a 77x difference.]

>the marginal college graduation should increase the number of white-collar jobs

I'm arguing that this degree-required job isn't created ex-nihilo, but rather at the expense of the "best" job that used to not have a degree requirement. In other words, the average price of hiring a college graduate goes down because we're now hiring them as daycare workers and firefighters, and the positional advantage of a college degree now includes eligibility for these jobs.
> Amazon said it was using automated technology to weed out false reviews and that it had invested "significant resources" to protect its review system

The people in the article who write those inauthentic reviews probably aren't detectable with that automated technology. Unless they're provided specific copy to include, they're likely indistinguishable from an authentic review.

I used to think the reviewers who were particularly verbose and who included copious (sometimes superfluous) detail were likely authentic. Now I think that's an easily faked signal.

I have no clue what to believe with respect to online reviews, but I'm ever-so-slightly swayed by Amazon's explicit "amazon's choice" endorsements. I'll visit retail stores more often in order to have a clearer idea of the quality level I'm buying, and an easier recourse if it doesn't work out.

It's good to communicate for a general audience, but your presentation misleads rather than simplifies.

> meaning the combined measurement accurately predicts how a potential college applicant will perform in their first year of college 56% of the time.

"accurately predicts...56% of the time" implies that half of predictions are 'accurate', which most readers would interpret as 'correct' i.e. knowing SAT + HSGPA allows you to state FYGPA _exactly_ for about half of cases. That's not what the research you cited says. Rather, the square of the multiple correlation R (which is exactly R^2, the coefficient of determination) indicates how much of the variance in the output variable is explained by the input variables. That quantity _must_ be communicated in terms of the strength of the relationship, not accuracy for a given or share of cases as it doesn't tell us anything about a given case. One could say it tells us about 30% (0.56^2, correction from my statement above) of the information we'd need to know to perfectly predict the outcome, or that the relationship is better than random, but doesn't predict perfectly, or ...

Additionally, table 5 of the link you cited indicates the adjust correlation coefficient b/w FYGPA and the combination of HSGPA and SAT is 0.62. None of the numbers in that table are 0.56, so I'm not sure where you pulled that exact number from. I've used 0.56/56% above to be clear which quantity I'm referring to.

Only a very small set of people are able to convert a $10/hour job into savings (minimum wage in many places is even less). Presumes you live in a state with subsidized medical care, presumes you have no kids, presumes you have no unexpected expenses like a blown engine or broken axle.

Read Ehrenreich or any of the modern authors on poverty to realize that it's not just a matter of "Well, $10 an hour times 180 hours a month is $1800 and the median rent is $900, ergo everyone is fine!"

Yes, it IS possible, but the goal of society is to make it easier for everyone not just the luckiest and most badass 5%.

> In many fields competition for tenure is brutal

Why so? There are so many people who would like to study but can't get into an university. There (as you say) are so many professors who would like to teach but also get into brutal competition. Why not just build more universities? Also why not start a private education company that probably wouldn't be eligible to issue government-accredited degrees (who but medical doctors and lawyers needs them anyway?) yet would provide university-level education quality and compete the free-market way?

It's rare, but it can happen occasionally. A just-in-time compiler has access to tracing and profiling that a ahead-of-time compiler may not, which means that it can do things like inline a virtual method call that is actually monomorphic at runtime.
This also translates to the cost for labor. How much your company is paying for insurance seems to have little correlation to how good your insurance is, so Company A could be paying an extra $5k per employee because they don't have a good HR department.

It also means that every job offer has to be examined not only for salary and culture, which are usually pretty easy to see; but also benefits cost. I've had offers that were an over 20% raise which would have all been eaten by insurance costs. I've looked at my "benefits cost breakdown" at similar companies only to see that one is paying $90k for me and one is only paying $70k, on similar salaries of around $60k.

These insurance costs are not something usually shared outside the company, and they are hard to get until the last stages of your job offer.
They have a department responsible for this, among other things.

Biased because I work there, but App Academy (coding bootcamp) has been running ISAs (Income Share Agreements) and deferred tuition models for the 6 years we've been around. I'd be shocked if this sort of model doesn't catch on soon and becomes a more de-facto way of monetizing. Pretty similar to trade schools in both form and timing.

Purdue started implementing ISAs[1] but they're crazy expensive. Hopefully the university system can get closer to the value of the education instead of a multiplier on the students' results. Minimum payback threshold is also only 20k[2] which is absurdly low. a/A has a higher minimum threshold that seems more humane to me (50k salary for in-person cohorts and 60k for online cohorts).

Hi! We've been working with and evaluating Gettext when we started Fluent.

Our opinion is similar to Unicode's - Gettext is fundamentally flawed design for internationalization purposes.

Here's you can find more detailed explanation of our position - https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/wiki/Fluent-vs-gette...

Please, don't take it as a criticism of using it. We just don't think it scales and we don't think it's possible to produce high quality sophisticated multilingual UI's with it, but if it works for you, don't touch it :)
Open Source Model Management Roundup: Polyaxon, Argo, and Seldon
The AirPods themselves don't block sound, but the music playing in mine keeps out distracting sounds quite nicely. It's not "safe" to interact with me as if I weren't using them. Co-workers attempt to interact with me often. I can't hear them. That's fine with me. Get my attention with a light tap on the desk, or in the company chat.
I started using a hanging basket in my bathroom I can just throw in, but it's not feasible to leave my bags backed if for no other reason than the clothes would wrinkle.

I agree on the bringing less stuff front. I've slowly pared down a lot of what I bring, and just stop in a drugstore to pick up if I forgot some minor thing.
The OSs for Acorn computers printed it in that order, as it made the 6502 version of the translating print routine (that would translate CR into LFCR) a few bytes shorter to print them in that that order: (not exactly the code in the ROM, but not meaningfully different)

osasci: ; print ASCII char, preserving A, translating CR->LFCR
cmp #13
bne oswrch
osnewl: ; print newline, overwriting A
lda #10
jsr oswrch
lda #13
oswrch: ; print ASCII char, preserving A
...
rts

(According to Wikipedia, this ordering survived into the ARM range! - maybe it helped with the ARM code too? Or perhaps they wanted the output to be identical, or nobody thought it mattered which order you print them in... no idea.)

CR on its own was the standard line ending, but if you saved screen output (e.g., a BASIC listing) to a file you'd find LFCRs in the file, and if you played the output back as input you'd see a bunch of blank lines added due to the additional cursor movements.

I suppose this must have affected printer output, but I don't remember it causing any issues as the printer interface had some kind of flow control.
