Agree with your sentiment. Although it's not perfect, it fills a gap that no one else fills. Given the lack of competition on this funding, they're doing decent.

That shows MDs making almost twice what you claimed ($130k vs. $70k). Not as high as Americans but that seems insufficient to explain the huge cost differential.

"Linux" isn't the only other OS either (and here doesn't quite make sense, seeing as it's a userland detail that doesn't really have anything to do with the kernel the distros share). Apart from the ability to change the keybinding dictionary for basic stuff like copying and pasting and such, Automator on macOS lets you pretty much bind anything to anything.

This might be a blind spot for Google because the longer you stay on any given webpage, the better it is for them, since 50% of all webpages have ads served by Google or one of their subsidiaries.

I wonder if this will be Google’s downfall one day. Some AI enabled competitor will come up with a search engine that delivers exactly what you’re looking for instead of the most engaging content.
Of course, those countries don’t really want to spend the money to it would take to replace the defensive presence that the US military bases represent. So, there is a dual benefit.

There's still a difference between "stocks are down because the IPO was way overvalued but the company makes a healthy profit" (FB) and "stocks are down because the IPO was a little optimistic for a company that's bleeding money and has a bigger competitor".
And it's all garbage whose authors and publishers deserve a special place in hell, for propagating bullshit that's occasionally dangerous to health, often wastes money, and it's a drag when dealing with friends and family members who end up believing it.

Not just in nutrition - in pretty much everything pertaining things common to all humans - health, cooking, childbirth, etc., the search results are dominated by information-free garbage that wastes a lot of time for people seeking information.
Azure Table storage is a key/value store similar to Hbase, Cassandra, GCP Bigtable, AWS DynamoDB and others. It's a very stable and scalable design which is why everyone has some version of it.

There's no way to add indexes to this data model, it's all done by just writing your data in another table using the key you want and the value pointing to the original table's row. Perhaps Azure could offer secondary indexes like AWS DynamoDB does but it's probably too complex of a feature to add at this point, which is why it took DynamoDB several years to get to working GSI.

Models that are used for anything important should be explainable. That is, you should be able to get a definitive answer as to why a particular result was achieved in any particular case. If a model does not have this property, it should not be used for anything critical.

Also, people should have the right to know when machine-learned models are used to make decisions about their lives. They should be able to ask why a particular decisions was made and get that information.

This is real AI ethics.

Isn't Google's Fuchsia OS an attempt at this? I feel like I read that somewhere, might be completely wrong though.
My daughter got her own iPad mini at about age 2. We don’t restrict access except when she’s grounded. She’s six now and has one of the new iPad Airs with the Pencil, which she uses to draw. She’s very responsible with her iPad use, and would rather do cartwheels than use the iPad. (Although, we also made her keep trying sports until she found one she liked, and now she’s very active between gymnastics and swimming.)

Screens aren’t some magical thing that will poison your kids. I didn’t have an iPad growing up. Instead, I was obsessive (and sedentary) with books. Pushing kids to be active is orthogonal to letting them use screens when appropriate.
I feel like they are dismissing the value of backlinks too much. Google is better now at spotting unnatural ones. But (real) backlinks seem to still overcome everything else. They work better with good content, titles, etc, on the page. But those other things don't work at all without links.
The fact that negations of emotions are also included somewhat negates the point of there being more positive emotions.

You're probably right. However, having worked at MS for nearly a decade in the past, I'd be stunned if Cosmos did not serve, at least in part, as the foundation, and CosmosDB did not inherit a good chunk of the team.

Dremel now uses standard SQL and unlike Kusto it supports multiway joins and a bunch of other things expected of a more "general purpose" analytical DB.

Ultimately MS efforts will be stymied by the fact that their underlying storage story is nowhere near as good as Google's Colossus.

I won't disclose the details, but that's another thing that blew my mind: I could do linear reads (which is what columnar DBs do nearly all of the time) faster than I could process the data, from hundreds, or even thousands of workers at the same time.

The IO throughput there is truly immense, which is especially impressive given that all of the storage is remote.
The author agrees with you. It was attributed to a bug in the way some early iPads / iOS kept time.

> I was impressed by how many people posted substantive help, explaining that this was a problem especially with early iPads (ours is ancient)—they can have trouble with time and date, which in turn can send the lockout time soaring.

CosmosDB is a JSON-based document store and it uses partitions to scale out your data. No document-store supports joins. The SQL support is only an interface to your data, it doesn't add relational functionality.

The partitionkey is required so that CosmosDB knows which partition to query. You can actually enable broadcast queries which will ask every partition if you don't want to include the partition key, but this will be slower and require more RUs.
Kuhn's theory certainly applies to history of physiology because that is a science. But most of what you think about as health theories (e.g. is doing X good for you) are not scientific, they are marketing for products and services or clickbaity misrepresentations of weak studies. Basically, Kuhn applies to NEJM but not to Cosmopolitan.

Digital Ocean, Cloudflare, and others have adopted this strategy with great success

This is a confirmation bias, however. There are a lot of orgs trying the same strategy to absolutely no success, great content that doesn't have the social proof rotting away in obscurity.

Even among the ones who yield success, that tends to come and go. It's a very short path between "wow great content" and content that is cynically (and sometimes accurately) seen as a thin veneer over self-promotion.

There was a period when Netflix, for instance, had tech pieces on here constantly. The crowd lost interest. They're still pumping out the content, presumably at a significant manpower cost, to seemingly little readership.
> I wonder if this will be Google’s downfall one day. Some AI enabled competitor will come up with a search engine that delivers exactly what you’re looking for instead of the most engaging content.

A search engine that consistently delivers English language Wikipedia as the first link for any query that has a related term on it is a search engine I'd switch to today. Google used to be like that, with a Wiki link in the top 3 results for pretty much anything I searched for. These days, I'm happy if it'll be on the first page, and this is the first time after dropping "verbatim search" that I felt Google search engine to significantly decline in quality.

I’m curious about this too, but I don’t think they’ll talk openly about it. For some hints, you could probably look at what data Google reCaptcha collects. The newest version (v3) doesn’t even require a user to click anything except a single button.

Academics (pure academics) don't have a good track record predicting valuations/prices, period.

The people who actually have the ability or to predict valuations/prices (better than the market) are busy making millions, if not billions, of dollars, and they most certainly aren't going to tell you about their predictions/models. If they do, it's after they've already invested or shorted the asset.
I'm not so sure about that. Yes, the baseline numbers will be very different, but the economics of ride share are pretty much the same anywhere: there's an existing market price for taxis, which is more or less inflated everywhere due to regulation and inefficiency, and Uber/Lyft/whoever can provide a similar or better service at a profit... except that there's competition fueled by a bonfire of VC money pushing the margin deep into the red.

The evidence is literally in the original article: "Darker-skinned women were the most misclassified group, with error rates of up to 34.7%. By contrast, the maximum error rate for lighter-skinned males was less than 1%"

Regardless of whether the higher error rate is a combination of race, gender, or both, it's still a huge issue. Granted, that study was from a year ago, and other companies have since improved their facial recognition systems. But an overall precision/accuracy/f1 score doesn't mean much when accuracy varies that much by group. Sure, you can market it as "accurate on white males", but you can't market it as "accurate"
No-one is saying it is a shock - we're saying it is wrong and should be fixed.

She said 14% of jobs, not 14% of job titles.

I assume that automation will hollow out some job titles, and then maybe totally kill them, and others it will just whittle down, with an increasing speed of the whittling over the coming decades.

Other people have provided some interesting job titles that have, if not been totally deleted, at least depleted to such a degree as to be slightly anachronistic.

In the first case the term "two party" is describing a defence (consent). Defences may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the term might be useful in highlighting those differences.

In the second case the term ("assault") is the offence itself. It is not a term that is being used to highlight differences in elements or defences amongst jurisdictions.

Being accurate in the first case makes sense, regardless of the audience.
PlusCal uses labels (e.g. "Give:") to designate atomic actions - when you translate it, each labelled section is turned into an atomic action [1]. You can start off with a very simple spec with totally atomic transactions, and gradually make it more granular by introducing more labels, as shown in Wayne's Strange Loop presentation [2]

While I highly appreciated Kuhn when I was reading The Structure, this sentence from the article:

>Yes, Kuhn could be a bully, especially towards anyone who challenged him, such as Errol or our late colleague Harold Dorn. But for someone like myself, non-threatening and interested in science and the Enlightenment, Kuhn was kind and took his responsibilities seriously as a teacher

seems like an accurate description of the worst teachers I had in college, those I truely despised. Those who couldn't care less for an enthusiastic students while enjoying the superiority feelings of teaching the weakest students.
Depends how they studied it. If they changed a few floors of the building to larger lunch tables, and observe the difference on those floors, keeping everything else the same, they would have a good case. If they difference stayed for months after the change, it further strengthens the case.
He can't read. He can identify letters but not words. He will spell out his own name written down but have no idea it's his name. He can type with index fingers. Ie. He's memorized where the letters on a keyboard are.

> “Hiding implementation details” is one of the great lies of abstraction.

do you have some examples? i would imagine it is simply a matter of (poor) documentation or something not doing something it was documented to do, or vice versa.

if something that has its implementation details abstracted away correctly and is documented fully and accurately, it seems to me the only reason to "pop open the hood" is to ask if it could be faster. i suppose you could want to abuse the abstraction by relying on implementation details, but that doesn't seem like a good thing to do.

basically, i wouldn't say hiding implementation details is a lie of abstraction. i would wager it's developers' inability to abide by the laws of abstraction.
In the specific case, the company--a bank--is already liable for a lot of money and that is the reason the tellers are watched and tracked as closely as they are. That was a poor example.

In the fast food restaurants I used to own, one girl complained that I was watching her every move and using a stop watch to time everyone but this wasn't true. I wasn't watching her. I was watching the whole line. I wasn't timing her. I was timing how long it took the customer from the door to the order counter and the time it took to get to the cash register.

However, the last job I ever had working for someone else, my supervisor said I needed to turn my desk around in my cubicle so that, when the owner walked by, he could look and see that I wasn't just surfing the 'net instead of working. I understand his point--I'm being paid to work not surf the 'net--but you can't work continuously without some kind of break for the mind (which, in my case, was actually a slow walk to get a coffee from the lunch room).

> I lost almost all hair and I am only 5'5".

I won't speak to your primary issue...but maybe the first "risk" you should take is getting hair plugs. Seriously. A friend of mine did that and the transformation in his appearance was night and day. If I ever start to lose my hair, i'm 100% doing that. It's not crazy expensive, and the results are incredible. I think a lot of men are for one reason or another shamed into not doing things like this, but I think that's silly. It's completely worth it. Let this be your first venture into unknown territory, and then maybe you'll gain some confidence to start taking risks in other areas.

Schools Don’t Support Personal Development. They Distort It
How much acceleration can you endure? 3g is typical for a rocket launch, 9g is almost deadly. Accelerating to 6000mps at 3g will require 6000^2/(23g) = 600 kilometers of track, and it will take 200 seconds. That's a huge track, which has to be exactly linear or the payload will destroy it.

Then there is also the fact that the payload will be exiting the catapult at the sea-level, thus facing the full atmosphere at 6000mps. Which is to say the payload will be instantly incinerated unless some kind of magic is invented akin to supercavitation. By contrast rockets do not even reach supersonic 300mps until 10k altitude, thus never encounter this sort of problem. Maybe you could build this 600km track thing in the Himalaya, but that much and that high in the mountains isn't going to be cheap.

You can tell I though a lot about the same thing that you did. :)
