One thing that I find really compelling about Mathematica is that it's quintessential Cathedral software -- mostly developed under one roof, with an almost proverbially dominant centralizing vision. Compared to the Bazaar I'm accustomed to (CTAN, CPAN, PyPI, crates.io, et cetera) all I could find for Mathematica is this: http://packagedata.net/. 212 packages. You don't need to go looking for gargoyles, grotesques or stained glass, Mathematica has them all, and relics besides.
Or the entire system can be fixed by removing the social security withholding cap, currently at $137k. Remove that for all income and the problem is solved.
No, the disease starts exhibiting symptoms after 2-3 years. Deer average five years and can live for up to ten years in the wild, and are reproductively active that entire time. So there is definitely some evolutionary pressure; a deer infected at age 1 year would be expected, on average, to have less than half the offspring of a healthy deer.
Good point. I should have left it.

The article contradicts your statement. The reason longer light hours are worse is because they get fewer hours of sleep due to staying up later, but still have to wake up in the morning at the same time.

If we abandoned clock swapping, it wouldn't be an issue because yes people would stay up an hour later, but work/school would also start an hour later so no lost sleep time.
I almost made the same point, but I stopped because I was hesitant to get into the cases where one can do an average-case analysis without assuming any distributions: when you're doing analysis of a particular operation being called a bunch of times, versus once. In such cases, average-case can yield amortized analysis which still makes no assumption of the input distribution.

I'm co-author on a paper which does that: https://www.scott-a-s.com/files/debs2017_daba.pdf. In that work, we present a sliding window aggregation algorithm for worst-case constant time, but we compare against ones that are average-case constant time. The average-case constant algorithms are better on throughput, but worst-case constant is better on latency.

> being two separate entities

They aren't really though, they both make money on my privacy with relatively little consent. If that's the bad thing, I'm not sure I care that one of two parties says "sorry, I know this is bad" while still doing it. This could actually make them the worse of the two parties.

> [1]. You really don't want the newsroom killing a story because it makes the practices of the advertising department look bad.

this feels like bait, no one is asking for the newsroom to kill the story, they are asking for the newsroom to kill the practices of the advertising department.

> Also, demands that the people who expose bad privacy practices have perfect privacy records themselves

Its not a demand that they have perfect privacy records. Its kinda just pointing out that these authors have control of who they publish for and that its quite hollow to warn people about a poisonous medium in a way that draws more people through that medium.

This isn't to say they are bad people, just that they aren't great for pointing out bad practices they take part in 10 years after society has already baked them in.

I do warn that my opinion is colored by a belief that news orgs are responsible for a large part the of the normalization of our lack of privacy and current relationship with marketing. Which I see as sort of proto you-gotta-beleive-me methods.

Yeah there are no hard and fast rules but a lot of time transformations can be in the object as well. If I need a function to transform Foo to Bar I could just as easily send a toBar() message to an instance of Foo.
One of the most complexity inducing areas of the tax code, The Alternative Minimum Tax, has a lot more to do with taxing certain people extra than handing out any special privileges.

In the case of American-made products, it's easy enough to do the research to determine if a product is good, or even try it before you buy.

I'm a little older than Gen X, but I share many of the same concerns. When the economy crashed, I saw many people I know who had done everything right in terms of retirement savings get wiped out just as they were retiring. They were ruined.

What? It jumps around because it’s running in an event loop. Not because JS devs try to do too many clever things. You hope it jumps around often or you might be blocking the loop for too long.
>You can't invest the same way as Vanguard and Blackrock at nation state scale

You can, it's just that current consumption is fulfilled by current production. Current production gets allocated to some combination of return to labor, return on capital, and taxes. All else equal, the state owning more capital will just squeeze out some combination of return to labor and return on capital. If you look at the cash flows, there's no difference between the government owning 1% more of your employer vs taxing an extra 1% of the company's overall value.

The biggest practical consideration is that taxation is a much more visible way of paying for benefits for current retirees, so replacing that with less obvious means is more politically viable.
To say they're illegally cloning your product is probably misleading. They're potentially infringing your copyright on your documentation but there's nothing illegal about their general product offering. I think you are hurting your case with hyperbole.

No need for n^1e72, a SAT instance with a couple of hundred variables can usually be solved easily, industrial instances are often hundreds of thousands of variables. Even a O(n^10) algorithm would be of MASSIVE theoretical interest, but almost no practical value.

Access to water in Ireland is assumed to such an extent that it isn't even listed in the ESRI's criteria for poverty. As such, it's very obvious that lack of bathing/changing clothes will almost NEVER be due to lack of access to water. Even temporary halting sites must have access to water considered by local councils.

> From a privileged, lower-middle class or above perspective

Very confused as to why you think 'water' might be limited to the demographic who work as teachers, Gardaí, and above, or why access to water indicates privilege.
Playing the "our small team" card is a stretch for a startup that's raised $12m from two >$5B funds (a16z, NEA).

It's also a stretch to say their product was cloned. It looks like what was copied was just a pretty standard OAuth setup, which most developers cut-and-paste anyway. There's nothing core to the product or even having to do with cars here.

How exactly do you do this?

Violating Bell’s inequality with remotely connected superconducting qubits
I suspect most people, even most computer scientists, have a very limited view of complexity theory. When Big-O notation is introduced, and we discuss algorithms, we tend to only ever come across them in contexts where the algorithm is "small" polynomial or "small" hidden constants are present. How many people can even name a polynomial algorithm that's worse than cubic, or a polynomial algorithm with a massive hidden constant? In practice, these algorithms tend to be hidden in nasty combinatorial problems which sometimes are themselves contrived mainly to force a solution that slow.

Yet the evidence suggests that, should P=NP, then the polynomial algorithm is going to be of that nasty combinatorial variety. The main reason for this, informally of course, is that NP-complete problems tend to have their NP-completeness arise from specifically hard instances, rather than generally being hard. SAT is NP-complete, but we can solve many SAT queries we care about (undoing cryptographic algorithms are of course the exception--by design). Graph coloring is NP-complete, except if your graph falls into one of several dozen special cases of graphs which covers most we know about. In other words, there's a kernel of instances where there structure is exponentially complex and there's no way to develop heuristics that are meaningfully simpler than "try every possibility until one works." It is possible that there exists some basis that can describe the complex structure in polynomial terms, but this basis would itself have to embed the complexity we see, and as such, it would be one of those combinatorial monstrosities. Think something of the terms of 3^2^16 as your hidden constant (that's the bounds for the "simple" algorithm in the L=SL paper).
I think it depends on how you view meat. If you look at both of them as benign foods where taste is the only important aspect, you may like beef more. But if other factors like ethical treatment of animals or greenhouse gas emissions matter to you, these burger substitutes offer a lot without the same negatives.
All well and good and as someone who doesn't eat meat it's nice to have more options when getting fast food, but at home I prefer the frozen vegetarian burger patties that have been available from Morningstar or Boca as they tend to be much more affordable and have more protein/calorie.
Looks to me like they are copying the entire concept, not just the docs. Seems like very little intellectual creativity went into the creation of their API.
I have had a similar experience... perfect debugging, breakpoints working, everything fine, up until yesterday. I think something in my stack got upgraded, and ever since, exceptions have broken callstacks. Trying to click a breakpoint takes me somewhere completely else in the sources viewer, and sometimes, exceptions don't break at all. No, I don't know why. Something broke, I still need to investigate, but it's another annoyance that reminds me of how much of my time is going to debugging and fixing platform issues.

I think the big issue is just how fragile and brittle source maps are. They feel like a joke, compared to DWARF and native debuginfo.

But who knows, maybe they'll start working again tomorrow.
I could be wrong, but I assume that Google mostly does this because of the huge amount of malicious garbage bot traffic on the web. Once you go fully anonymous and private, there's no way to distinguish you between the hordes of malicious traffic.

But there seems like there should be a technological solution. Google knows what a "legitimate" user looks like. Either because they come from a safe IP, or they're registered Google users, or they have a normal established browser history. But using your legitimate identify compromises your privacy, because then your IP/user-account can be correlated to your personal identity.

So, let's create zero-knowledge proof identity schemes. Using your legitimate, but non-private, identity you "register" an ephemeral, private anonymous identity. But it's done using zero-knowledge proof, such that Google has no idea about who a particular anonymous identity besides that it must belong to one of its several million legitimate identities.
What freaked me out was learning that it is extremely difficult to sterilize surgical equipment such that prions are removed. If you are operated on with surgical equipment that was previously used on a person infected with prions (I'm talking about human prions here and not deer prions), even if the equipment was thoroughly sterilized, the prions are almost certainly still there and can be transferred to you.
The point of the parent comment is that even without the trust fund, each year’s social security taxes will be sufficient to pay 75% of benefits. This makes it clear that claims that the program is bound to disappear completely are overblown.
While the posted stuff does look very similar, with identical random numbers etc, the APIs in question looks like pretty standard off-the-shelf OAUTH... Unless other APIs are very similar as well, it seems that Otonomo just took a shortcut in documenting their OAUTH by copying Smartcars documentation.
> If everyone switched to such a solution, we could could our greenhouse gas emissions from burger production in half.

If you're near retirement and your investments are so volatile as to be "wiped out" and "ruined" by a short term economic downturn then they are absolutely not doing everything right. In fact it's pretty much the opposite.

Protected activities are protected. You'll notice from the text of that article that some of the retaliation stopped once a lawyer got involved.
You don't need an expert to file a personal return.

But, the core problem is that in the US we use the tax system as a method for distributing subsidies for various things. Buy a solar panel? Instead of writing you a check, we give you a tax credit. Have a kid? Tax credit.

You could certainly simplify the act of filing taxes, but HR Block and Intuit lobby heavily against that. As far as moving away from using it as a distribution mechanism for subsidies, that complexity could be removed from the tax code but it will get pushed somewhere else instead. I think most people would prefer getting their child tax credit through taxes than having to apply at a welfare office and get a check.

I think it's just funny that people even care about the internet anymore. Maybe I've just always been ahead of the curve, but seriously. Who even cares?

Aren't we past caring about strangers on the internet. Haven't we reached the point where we leave irrational barking and carrying on to just twist in the wind?

On a fundamental level, I'm not impressed by any of this, because I don't believe it to have ever been effective in the first place.

Thinking back to when YouTube comments were the worst of the worst, it was plain that the braying of idiots into a comment box never worked. Nor did trolling.

In the same sense that you pay no mind to a ranting freak at a gas station, you ignore the garbage littering the internet.

I don't think bots troll well. And I don't think trolls troll well.

Trolling is an annoyance, simply because it registers as spam. You know litter when you see it. User prticipation is often perceived as refuse by default, especially when originating from total strangers you've never met in person.

The claims that internet propaganda works are dubious.
Keep going and look for ways to turn it to your advantage
Anonymization vs “just use a demo database” (which I tend to agree with) aside, there’s significant value, at least, in illustrating the concept of Decorators as a pattern for transforming data for presentation, and how that can be hoisted into a transformation of the resolvers’ results to apply them automatically. I’ve seen way too many codebases dumbly copy-and-pasting identical logic like this between each and every resolver, with all of the attendant “whoops, forgot a place” bugs.

There’s seemingly a real lack of knowledge of either the existence of better abstractions or the knowledge of how they can be applied in GraphQL implementations in a lot of shops, currently.
That's great info! Thank you :)

A&W in Canada has a Beyond meat burger and a Beyond meat breakfast sausage sandwich. I go there semi-regularly (being the best fast food restaurant in Canada in my opinion) and I am astonished - almost every second person in line is ordering the Beyond meat option.

The author was not presenting it as a serious hypothesis. They were showing how compelling it looks at first glance, and how deceptive that naive analysis is, because of the unfair advantage the chart gets (in the sense that it inherently looks better than its predictive value). They did this to knock down many other valuation-based measures, not to advocate for this one.

Reversion to what mean, is the author’s point. The mean for the twenty years between 1900-1920 is different from the mean for 1900-1940, is different from the mean for 1900-1960, etc. The mean is continually shifting. All data sets revert to their own mean, on average, by definition. The mere fact that a data set does so is tautological and thus provides no evidence — no confirmation of any scientific hypothesis.

Edit: see my other comment for the quote of what I consider the key passage in the article.
Maybe it would be better to say, a naive idea of efficiency without accounting for exceptional conditions can leave you worse off overall, and it’s easy to forget about them when focusing on the day-to-day.
Based on the marketing and the visuals it seems like this really powerful and cool thing, but somehow I don't know anyone using it, nor do I see it "in the wild", e.g. blog posts playing with it, doing data science with it etc.

Much more so with scientific Python, Jupyter notebooks etc. I guess being proprietary is quite a big limitation for its adoption.
