An interesting aspect of efficiency is that it’s often at odds with resiliency.

For example, consider an airline. Maximum efficiency would involve every airworthy plane being fully occupied making flights that are 100% full. Ok, sounds good. Now, one of your planes hits a sign on takeoff and has to return to the airport and be grounded for repairs. How do you deal with all of these passengers who expect to get to their destination? You can't, your incredible efficiency means you’re fucked when something goes wrong. Now imagine that each of those people is part of some other enterprise that’s 100% efficient. The failure will cascade and before long, society’s only concern for efficiency will be about how to most efficiently crack each other’s heads open and feast on the goo inside.
After 20 years of traditional JavaScript, I recently got a chance to use ClojureScript on a decent size project, it's the only way I'm ever doing JavaScript from now on. It's a beautiful way to use React, no JSX or HTML strings in site, it's all generated using the same stuff used to write application logic. Yes, there's still a lot of tooling behind it, but I very rarely had to directly deal with any of it, Leiningen does most of the work with package management and builds, and ClojureScript itself takes care of utilizing Google Closure for its dead code elimination and other optimizations, without me having to write a single ugly annotation.
The avherald reporting is better. And has photos of the damage. Currently they're calling this an accident, not an incident, and per 49 CFR 830.2 that's because of the substantial damage to the wing.
http://avherald.com/h?article=4c68c5a8&opt=0

A passenger, who they confirmed was on the flight, says the pilot announced "a major computer failure".

The runway heading and wind conditions mean a crosswind takeoff. The plane would have a natural inclination to weather vane toward the wind (yaw right) and the right wing to have more lift (roll left). Proper crosswind takeoff counteracts this with right aileron and left rudder and slightly higher rotation speed. The left wing should have lifted sooner, not later, the idea being to bank into the crosswind to keep the airplane from drifting; and as the plane lifts off immediately establish a crab into the wind which then permits wings level flight and climb out while compensating for the cross wind in order to maintain a runway heading ground track. Anyway, the exact opposite happened.

I'm not sure which surprises me more, pilot error or computer error. Both seem incredible to me, and this report is eyebrow raising. Dragging a wing on takeoff is extremely dangerous, regardless of the frangibility of airport signage.
I've built Bayesian non-parametric methods that performed inference on certain formulae, FOPL subsets or even Turing-complete programs. IMHO, it's a very exciting field that will bloom midterm.
Lincoln authorized congress to do it and it proved to be a success and improvement. It helped the North win the war.
If you don't have a lease you can be. About every private property I step foot on I don't have a lease to, so many freedoms tied to property are null there.

If you do have a lease at a given location and it specifies an enforceable restriction that is otherwise legal under federal and state law, they can certainly evict you or often fine you as a breach of contract. This could be for a variety of things related to restrictions of freedom of speech, gun ownership, to owning a cat.

If you can't afford private property, rent, and want to say, grill a burger, good luck finding a lease that permits that. You now live with a subset of legal rights determined by private property owners. Obviously there are things that aren't tied to property... they can't detain you or harm you but they can have the police detain you.
Reminda me of flying into Georgia as part of a trip leg. Much of the surrounding area looked like it was a suburban area overlaid on a forest or what modernn fantasy elves or something as houses were trqnsplanted to modern America - it was so filled with trees - given the heat and history it makes sense and was even oddly beautiful from the sky.

Really I think part of the cultural problem with home design environmentally - aside from the density issues is that so many don't even try to adapt to the environment and do daft things like trying to grow lush water thirsty grasses in the desert or cut away trees in areas that really need the drainage. They often do the equivalent of going around with a brazier of burning coals at 50F instead of putting on a jacket.
There were personal heroics but the Soviet response was a catastrophe, it was Sweden that sounded the alarm and the Soviets allowed a May Day parade of children to march through the cloud in Kiev...

"For 36 hours after the explosion, people were given no reliable information about it and left virtually on their own. They never received instructions on how to protect themselves and their children. Radiation levels that according to Soviet laws were supposed to trigger an automatic public warning about the dangers of radiation exposure had already been recorded in the early hours of April 26—but were ignored by one official after another. Finally, people were asked to gather their belongings and wait on the street..."

Likewise, I tried _swift_ back when it was first announced. I had trouble finding tools in standard library to handle simple FILE operations. There are many resources on using PythonInterops to get the job done. But kinda defeats the purpose. Maybe these are early days.

That said, I remain optimistic given Jeremy's involvement — he/Rachael/fastai's been nothing but a source of good for ML in general.

The paper documents that those who resisted in the army and police suffered very little in the way of negative consequences. From the conclusion of the paper:

“There was not a uniform system of "terror-justice" operating automatically against those whose civil and moral courage forced them to declare "ohnemich!"(without me!). In fact, the opposite is true. In every case of documented refusal to obey orders to exterminate people, the coercive powers of the Nazi system proved to be impotent or ineffective.”

Swift large projects takes huge time to compile whether as interpreter wins here. Though there are model building layer on compiler level which Swift offers in Tensorflow which is unique but apart from that I don’t think it is going to hit nail on Python community.

Everyone who currently has a job, that isn't at imminent risk of losing that job, is in a position of power against a company that needs labor.

I'm certainly not widely known in the industry. I don't have any public projects/repos. I've been doing this for almost 20 years, so I do have a pretty extensive resume. But I didn't have extensive resume when I was starting out in the early 2000s just after the internet bubble burst and times were relatively rough in the industry. And I wouldn't have done 4-5 interviews or homework projects even then.

We don't need to accept this kind of treatment from potential employers.
I’m happy to defer to others with more relevant regional cultural ground truth.

But it’s my understanding that social media, specifically WhatsApp, has been accused of amplifying fake news and violence in India, resulting in reduced sharing limits to mitigate against malignant virility.

14 months ago there were anti Muslim riots in Sri Lanka and more recently major Bangladesh/Myanmar Muslim refugee crisis.

If I was running security in Sri Lanka I would also consider a temporary shut down or throttling of social media to mitigate the amplification of sectarian violence.

This is a real tragedy, especially when looked at in perspective with the incredibly violent, costly, and lengthy Sri Lankan Civil War.

When looked at thru the lens of having followed the Sri Lankan Civil War at a distance, the extreme violence(suicide bomber was “invented there) and urban terrorism was a near constant.

This is a horrible tragedy that I hope Sri Lankan can contain and prevent viral escalation.
I almost exclusively learned the basics of Elixir / Phoenix by looking at the source code of https://changelog.com which is at https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com.

Major kudos to them for open sourcing their platform. It covers like 50+ common web dev features.

I pretty much skimmed the docs to get the ultra basics, looked at that source while I was building my own app and then asked questions when I got really stuck. Even managed to sneak in some refactoring on their code base a few days into learning Elixir. It's super approachable without much more if you have some type of programming background beforehand.

Yes you have to include the possibility of new accidents - being sabotaged or not. But that possibility needs to be weighed with the probability of it. And it's very low.

This is not a case of of risk but uncertainty - very different strategies apply here.
If I'm correct the key issue is the need for a deeper level of control, and that Python as as scripting language gluing things together doesn't afford that.

They talked about using Swift for differentiable programming, is there something unique in Swift that enables that? From what research I've done it seems the techniques of Deep Learning are much more adaptable than the standard sklearn fit/predict template.

I was a bit surprised since fast.ai seemed to be big on PyTorch, it seems a paradigm switch to TensorFlow, but that's what research is all about.

In addition to the TensorFlow / Pytorch dichtomy there seems to be Julia's Zygote, still in early stages. Deep Learning is like The Thing, you look away from it for a few minutes and it's sprouted legs out of its head and walked off into a different room:

I do this but I'm beginning to wish there were a way to exclude specific stocks from the ETF to improve performance. Basically looking for something exactly like SPY but with a way to blacklist certain stocks that I think are poor investments (e.g. Lyft). As far as I know there isn't any way to do this short of buying tons of individual stocks to create my own diversified portfolio without the stocks I want to avoid, which simply isn't worth my time given the sums I have invested and how much performance benefit I think I would get with those stocks excluded.

I have a theory that with a modicum of common sense you can probably increase your gains by 1-3% per year by avoiding stocks that are overbought by ETFs simply by virtue of their market cap or industry (meaning, the main reason these stocks hold their current valuation is that they have a lot of buy-side support from the fact that they are included in many ETFs).

Maybe a good fintech business opportunity since afaik this type of product doesn't exist!
In academia, it is common to do conferences in honor of a major figure’s 60th/70th/80th birthday, and/or a festschrift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festschrift). There’s typically serious work done there, but also a lot talk about they’ve influenced the field, as well as just general reminiscing. You might, for instance, mention the fact that the honored figure once reported his own car stolen because he couldn’t find it, then later found it and got pulled over for driving a stolen vehicle.
lol. 99% of it is margin - it's 50% of the whole retail item cost for <1% of the material or complexity.

That's most of it left for promotion. Domestic appliances, large and small, regularly have small spare parts that attract 25 or 50% of the price of the entire item. Never used to.

That they're already doing well with small appliances in the niche of non-available parts says enough about pricing floor.
Hopefully they had the financial wherewithal to model outliers in their profit model.

That's a problem with the specific underlying securities you bought, not a problem with ETFs in general. The "classic" ETFs are for well-known indexes, like the S&P 500.

Not sure how it's "free markets" to distribute land to the people good at conquering things and then let their descendants hang on to it for the next 1000 years.
Of course there is the whole "timing the market is a waste of time" discussion but I wouldn't buy REITs right now considering where interest rates are going. Though given that interest rates simply haven't increased very quickly, could be that the market is over-discounting them and they are actually underpriced!

non-English speaking down-voters I see ;)
There are some suburban ones but they tend to be pretty skittish - you generally see them through windows or cameras. I had one funny experience where they apparently moved stealthily enough that the motion activation mode on a security camera had them appear to teleport - it showed up for a few frames, appeared elsewhere in frame and then disappeared.

Really it is tameness that does it as they don't scatter before we even see them. The woods being quiet is because we scare the hell out of nearly everything, constantly walking on two legs like a bear ready to fight. Leave cameras behind and it gets noiser and more active.

Should you ever meet a former member of the Wehrmacht, you owe them the same general regard to be given any human being.

The web needs to be forked into two distinct standards: One for dynamic content, and one for documents. The first would use basically everything in the HTML5/CSS/JS toolbox, and the second would be more akin to AMP, but for all docs.

The benefits of this would be a standard for Wysiwyg editors (goodbye million rich text editor projects, Markdown and even Microsoft Word), and more semantic markup for both search engines and accessibility.

Right now it takes millions of man hours to create a performant browser, which is limiting those engines to only the largest organizations. Even Microsoft gave up making their own. And even with all that effort, I still can't create a clean HTML document with an interface as rich as MS Word, or even add bold or color formatting to a Twitter post, or update a Wikipedia page without knowing wiki markup.

We need to pull the dynamic, JS powered side of the web out from the core, limit CSS to non-dynamic properties, and standardize on an efficient in-document binary storage akin to MIME email attachments so HTML docs can be self-contained like a Word or PDF doc.

This document-centric web could be marked off within a standard web page, so you could combine it in regular interfaces for things like social network posts. Or it could be self standing, allowing relatively large sites to be created with indexes, footnotes, etc., but served from a basic static server.

This isn't a technical challenge, it's an organizational one. I've thought for years that Mozilla should be doing this, instead of messing with IoT and phones, etc. It's such an obvious problem that needs addressing, and would have a huge payback in terms of advancing the web as we know it.
Yes $5000/month would make that a great property. Look up the one percent rule.

There are lots of other things to consider but it’s a great quick rule of thumb.
That is interesting. I"ll have to explore that correlation and make sure that we have a good baseline comparison for the v2.0 model.

The zero-waste revolution: how a new wave of shops could end excess packaging
You don't need to go to a gym, But you do need to workout. Push-ups, sit-ups, and buy a curling bar with some weights--nothing crazy. Do a couple of sets of presses, some curls, and two other types of weight lifting exercises consisting of what ever else you want. Do it fast, and a lot of reps. 3 or 4 times a week is enough, and once you get into it only takes 20 - 30 minutes.

Also, walk fast; really fast, and run up the stairs whenever you can. I work at a big campus so that helps with the fast walking.

Eat vegetarian a few times a week, and as others have said; don't drink sugar, and be wary of the bread and potatoes.

Not bragging here but I'm 59 years old and Friday morning I banged out 140 pushups; a set of 30, a 40, and then I did 70 (my most ever. Typically I do a set of 30 and two 40's, but I will do 50 for the last set at times if they are coming easy enough. And I'll max out once in a while--formerly 60 was my high).

I only got back into working out around 2.4 years ago so its never too late.
I am pretty much in the same boat. My resources have been Programming Phoenix first edition. I am now going back and reading Programming Elixir and then re read Programming Phoenix 1.4 and then the GraphQL book by same publisher.
But you loose so much flexibility. When you start working on a problem, you want your language should give you as little headache as it can with minimum rules and constraints. Then on iteration you can improve like having type annotation, unit tests etc.

You can write perfectly fine production level code in Python. It like lego block. Start with simple and then add on.

Adding compile type checks comes with its own demerits. I guess here Swift is trying to offer more tool chain on compiler level for model building rather than just being type safe.

Hi! Thanks :) We have already 30 telescopes for different purposes, mainly for science and astrophotography. Our standard plans, which include maintenance and most of the support you'd need, cost around 7500 usd/year.
The project started in 2012, we spent a couple of years finding the land, doing all the necessary paperwork and getting permits, getting internet, etc. Our first telescope arrived in the beginning of 2015.
Our goal is to be a professional alternative to the big scientific observatories, but mainly purposed for small and middle-sized telescopes.

>Actually, the research has found that new born infants can perceive all sorts of things, like human faces and emotional communication.

yes, thats called sensory input....
a child deprived of sensory input when newborn can die because there is nothing there to show the baby of its existence, this the cause of crib death (notice that crib death is not called arm death because a baby doesnt die in the mothers arms)

>There is also a lot of inborn knowledge about social interactions and causality.

no, babies are not born with any knowledge at all of even the existence of society or beings. causality is learned from the result of human experience, causality is not known at birth
> I also find a lot of joy in its pattern matching and its pipe operator. It’s refreshing writing heavily functional code that still approaches the beauty of ruby, and I find that it drives me to think clearly about my code and write fewer bugs as a result.

This.

I use Elixir everyday. While it feels 'refreshing' to use pattern matching, sometimes it gets over-used, as a simple swtich-case statement is easier to read.

Same with pipe operator. I found newbie programmers tend to pipe for the pipe's sake, and write functions just to form the 'shape' of pipe, but the data shape changes are not easy to see and inspect.
I do big data stuff mostly. A lot of that involves cleansing. So working with large excel/csv/other tabular data formats is second nature to me. Familiar with many technical tools that I could maybe use as force-multiplier (e.g. serverless SQL processing, OLAP, RDBMS, python pandas, spark), hence my interest since if we relax the condition that every single row is accounted for, my productivity would likely be pretty high
