Think of what these places offer. Schools provide structured education, parks provide nature, libraries provide knowledge, and recreation centers encourage physical fitness.

Now think of being barred from all of these opportunities. Yes, they committed a crime, and yes, it may not a good idea to allow them to mingle with other people sharing these facilities (especially if these people are children) but...where else does one go to improve oneself? You'd think, especially after being charged with a heinous crime, anyone who truly wishes to reform themselves would benefit from these places. But it is those exact people who are barred from doing just that, and the cycle repeats, because there is no way out.

I'm not saying there's an easy answer here, and it wouldn't be feasible to rebuild these places for criminals only. But these restrictions absolutely make it difficult to integrate and become a productive member of society again.
I was never aware of the ping attribute but now it makes me wonder what was the rationale behind standardising it. Is there any particular legitimate (ie. non-tracking) use for such a feature? It would makes sense, of sorts, if there was a policy regarding the target of the attribute but as far as I can see the browser can ping literally anything.
I'm struggling to understand what "Atlas shrugged" means in the context of your statement. I understand the term in the context of the story, as well as in the context of Rand's philosophy. But what could it possibly mean here?

It's not a question of preference. Our constitution is incompatible with treatment programs that involve indefinite imprisonment when the individual is not a serious threat to himself or others.

I'm really addicted to their American History lectures where they record real history courses on different topics and from different colleges and universities, I listen them as podcasts it's really great. It also contrasts with the decreasing quality of podcasts overall, where quantity now trumps quality and where authors now make media tours of popular podcasts, so much so that you end up with the same guest on the same topic on several podcasts in your feed... it's television all over again...
> "To be" is not the main verb in that sentence ["this can be a hassle"] so of course it's in infinitive form.

This directly conflicts with your earlier statement that

> The infinitive form of verbs in English always starts with "to", as in "to add", "to fix" etc.

That earlier statement is wrong, so contradicting it doesn't really present a problem, but you've left me pretty confused as to what you think you're saying.

Whether "be" is the "main verb" in that sentence is a more interesting question. There's a decent argument that it is, in that "this can be a hassle" is easily viewed as a modified form of the sentence "this is a hassle", but not as a modified form of the defective sentence "this can". But you're correct that the standard analysis just says that "this can be a hassle" is sentence where the subject is "this", the verb is "can", and the object is an infinitive clause.
To really drive the point home of the level of abstraction I like to think of a category of domino tiles.

It kind of makes a few things apparent.

Tiles would be the morphisms and objects would be the number spots on the tile ends.

So the first insight: morphisms is the actaul object of study. The “objects” of a category is just a consequence of how the morphisms may, or may not, compose.

My first hurdle when learning things was being distracted by trying to understand what objects where, some times they would be types, sometimes sets, and it was never really clear what their cardinality would be. As if the theory hid important details that you had to keeps track of implicitly. But it doesn’t, objects really are inconsequential, they are just there to be a place for morphisms to meet, nothing more. Just like the number of dots of the domino tiles. We could have used color instead, and the tiles would compose in exactly the same way.

Second intuition, there’s no computation or anything else going on. Just as you say about the functions. The only thing of concern are the composability of those things called morphisms, be they functions or domino tiles.

In the lecture series linked a few places in this thread, Bartosz makes a fantastic point of this when deriving some properties of surjective and bijective functions using only composability.
I interpreted it as:

There are great opportunities to set yourself up for life, but many of those require a chunk of money to begin with.
S3QL does this with sqlite. An actual external DB would give you multiple users at once, though.

I've been using a combination of S3/Postgres to get filelike semantics myself, but not with a POSIX interface.

The biggest problem for general use is that S3 is really for immutable file storage, and not so much things that'll change a lot. That can be worked around, obviously.
Can Twitter be saved? In a wide-ranging conversation with TED's Chris Anderson and Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey discusses the future of the platform -- acknowledging problems with harassment and moderation and proposing some fundamental changes that he hopes will encourage healthy, respectful conversations. "Are we actually delivering something that people value every single day?" Dorsey asks.

What desperate me, is that it takes 32 minutes to dump relational data of a baby project with not even 100k relations. Re-dumping binary files over and over again when it should not be necessary ... it's getting worse every day. Add to this that Bob the manager will get you a new server only when you fill up your server and you might get tired of it too. They also don't keep files 33 months old or something, which means that postgresql is also going to have to deal with space efficiently on removal on a regular basis. Files in PostgreSQL, works for PostgreSQL, but that becomes a bottleneck in automated deployment. It's 95% of the deployment time and growing, is this a timeframe where we should take down the service writes or no that's another question to deal with.
It appears to be indeed a bias towards the poor, in favor of the rich.
The homeless problems in America have absolutely nothing to do with “survival of the fittest” and your comment is nothing but stereotypes. US cities spend massive amounts of money on social issues and the US is in fact the world leader in terms of donations as a percentage of GDP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_charitabl...

The homeless problem is mostly attributable to laws in the 70s and 80s which released mentally ill patients from hospitals and prevented their future incarceration.

Really great idea! How do you measure the softer criteria like “Eats lunch together”?
No, it isn't. While a credit check can show someone acting badly, it can also show mistakes, youth, and simple bad luck.

(they used to give away credit cards to college students working part time).

It might also show that someone has a medical condition that wound up expensive, which can happen despite medical insurance.

Many of these things do not mean that you'll not do your job as promised nor that you will steal money from the company.
Of course. Noone here said that the commit header shouldn't be followed up by a more detailed description. "git log --oneline" displays only the commit header.

Also I bet that if each language's words were compared to the overall vocabulary for SO, or at least to the cumulative one for these languages, the differences would stand out more.

And of course, the usefulness of a word cloud visualization is highly dubious to me.
Oh yeah, Scribd was this company, SEOing publicly available talks and then putting a paywall in front, while also consistently top-ranking in google-searches for ehm copies of copyrighted work.

The EU-copyright directive might be not that great, but neither are greedy companies, embarking on shady, criminal or antidemocratic ventures under the banner of "we are progress, everybody loves us". Not sure what hinders distribution of the report on NYT/WaPo-frontpages if it's not copyrighted?!? Or hosting it on a Russian Onion Server like it's done for years (to come w/o a real copyright reform)?
It's a bit ungenerous to physicists to suggest they've simply shrugged off the paradoxes of quantum mechanics. The first couple of paragraphs outline reasons why quantum mechanics has gained so much traction. The various attempts to understand its more difficult results have turned out to be notoriously difficult to substantiate or disprove experimentally.

I don't actually dispute the socialogical forces the author describes as they apply to physics research but I don't think apparent lack of progress is due to lack of concern amongst the physics community.
Why are we acting like the two are mutually exclusive? There are two vulnerability groups here:

1) People with financial difficulties who would be more prone to take small amounts on a regular basis to "round out" their income difficulties.
2) People who, even though financially secure or well off, if given the opportunity for a large score, would be tempted to take it.

There are different approaches for dealing with both, with some overlap. Limiting the possibility for any fraud by limiting access, requiring multiple approvals, etc. helps negate both groups' potential for fraud. Credit checks help to eliminate only the first group's potential.
Fair argument... We don't have many high-level algorithms. And to interoperability we often have to use standardized algorithms.
I think many successful coders do not code at home. I do, and when I was a younger developer it wasn't a good thing. There needs to be a clean separation between work and home. Now that I am older I am better at keeping a separation between work and home. I can even work from home and keep a clean separation now strangely enough.
Why unknown? Heisenberg's uncertainty principle can be derived mathematically, using a property of the Fourier transform. It has nothing to do with disturbing the system during measurement.
This is not a correct description at all of QM complementary observables. This is a purely classical explanation (and was one of the first layman "explanations" back in 1920, but that was 100 years ago and QM is much better understood now).

Where's the singularity that occurs if we assume it's just a region of space with nothing in it? I didn't call the black hole a zero-dimensional point.
Good point. The setup is quite simple in terms of number or containers/nodes. We are using Azure so would probably use cloud features to do the things you mention. A load balancer and a couple of VMs for example, with auto scaling set up.
I highly doubt asteroid mining would ever be profitable. The cost of getting bulk goods from space down to earth are astronomical (ha!).

Also, if you were to flood the market with any material you mined, prices would go down.
They should be like glasses, as they serve quite a similar function. But they are even less evident, so unless you wear bright pink aids, they shouldn't probably attract any attention (they don't really change your look, do they?).

Everything else means there's still a stigma.
Curious to see Scribd mentioned. Last time I used anything on Scribd was a decade ago to embed some PDFs that should have been web pages really.

Then they made it all paywalled so that was that.

I think their business has 'mySpaced' and fundamentally does not go with how people consume content. Nobody wants a PDF these days.

So why are they mentioned now?

Well, the report is wrong!!! It is a scanned document. So it is not digital. They could have written it with HTML5 but they are stuck in the past, twenty years out of date. PDF was okay back then but not now. Scanned images in a PDF are not accessible. You can't search it.

People who like PDF because they used it for legal documents back in the day have their arguments about why to use PDF. But if this report came from a single URL and was a tenth the size in HTML then nobody would have problems determining if the page was genuine or a fake - it would be in the URL.

Nobody would need to disperse copies of it over the internets. Just the one URL would do.

Really I think that this Mueller chap and the whole freaking government needs to be sacked and prosecuted for not making their work accessible. It is important to democracy.
Where I live road law is about safety, not about "attitude correction". Culture is the thing that fosters positive attitudes and respect. You really think cyclists are trying to bully you when they run a light?

What's the limit, skateboards with license plates? Why not subdermal RFID implants to catch people jaywalking? I mean, in the end a human body is just another vehicle for consciousness.

We have people that jump in front of your car without paying any attention to their safety, almost begging to be hit. Informally we call them "jaywalk terrorists". Their ignorance is a harsh punishment by itself, to them.

QM doesn't mean the same thing to everybody. Many physicists think it includes both unitary evolution and (real or apparent) collapse during measurements, while being valid for multiple observers and describing a single approximately classical world.

That very common view is a paradox because different observers can have different notions of "measurement" and they are incompatible.

Experimentation when it comes to visualization is a pretty inherent task. Whenever, and I mean literally every time, I start creating a graph, I end up opening at least 5-7 SO tabs, matplotlib, and seaborn docs, etc.

It is just that visualizations are not a solved thing yet.
You're correct, particle physics or QFT is not needed to appreciate the fundamental QM "mysteries", any non-trivial evolving measurable observable will do.

Mostly sex offenders. Rape, assault, and anything involving children, but also some minor things. Public urination is a sex offence in some parts of the US.

The reality today is that most, think 90%+, involves purely online activity. These arent rapists. They are caught downloading stuff.
Maybe you're mostly referring to some more complex use of --oneline, but to me that seems like more of an argument for not editing useful information out of your subject line to fit the character limit. Of course all other things being equal, a short subject line is preferable to a long one. But if you have to make a choice, I think it's often better to treat the character limit rule as a guideline.

I'm sure I've broken this rule many times, and I'm not aware that it's ever caused a problem.
When IF focuses on prose, and doesn't contain puzzles, it's harder to actually call it a game.

The one benefit of text games over other types of games is that you can essentially implement whatever world you want, without a trillion Dollar budget for graphics and sounds effects. A holo-deck powered by imagination.

Speaking of games in holo-decks... The killer-app for AI-powered IF may be erotic fiction.
The US also spends a lot of money on healthcare, but it doesn't really work, because the model is flawed.
I think (2) is the more important of those two, as it increased the burden of proof. After all, narrator wrote “people who regularly randomly assault people for no reason“, which doesn’t sound like a mere harmless delusion.

What do you think "to kill you" is?

Furthermore, idiomatic commit messages are pretty clearly not sentences, so I don't see why you think sentence structure should determine what they contain. And even on your own analysis of how the messages are interpreted (which I agree with), those verbs are infinitive, just as "fix" is infinitive in this dialog:

Ammon Bundy is the example they use? Ammon Bundy supports migrants because he's a rancher and wants cheap labor on his ranch. He wants taxpayers to bear the cost so he can privately profit. That's why people are suspicious about "empathy," it's usually a way of manipulating your emotions so that other people can profit.
Yes well that means that the system is broken, not that Americans have some sort of “too bad, the weak should die” mentality (as the OP suggested.)
Thanks - glad you like the idea!

You’re totally right that these aren’t the best examples to show the real value of the approach. We wanted to keep things super simple to start getting feedback, but are working on a more involved example now. DCF valuations and options pricing sound like great ideas – will look into them!

What do you mean re: citations? Validating Causal models using forecasts from other means?
> In MWI the event corresponding to collapse is the supposed appearance of an entire universe, which is - conveniently - impossible to detect.

My layman's understanding was that MWI doesn't postulate multiple universes. Rather, it posits that all particles are always in superpositions of states. What looks like a collapse to a single state is actually the particles under observation getting entangled with the particles that compose the observer: so, in the case of the double-slit experiment, you have a combined particle-observer system in a superposition of the states (particle goes through left slit / observer sees left detector activated) and (particle goes through right slit / observer sees right detector activated). Nothing has actually changed other than that entanglement: nothing is created or appears, certainly not an entire new universe.

ETA: like I say, I'm a layman, so I'd welcome any correction.
I've dealt with tracking schematic capture and layout software. And just a infinitesimal amount of database stuff. The difference I note is that software version control systems are hopelessly broken because they work on text and not structured data.

With a schematic you can reorganize a schematic and then compare the netlist and parts and if they are different you broke something. You can generate meaningful descriptions of of changes. Changed all the parts of this type to that type. Renamed these parts to these new names.

Problem is no one designs languages to be able to do that.

For a single property it usually won't be worth it. But if you can build a portfolio of properties in a reasonably small geographic area, then you can gain economic scale benefits (which especially will allow you to outsource more of the management/maintenance).

Of course, you need a good source of credit or great people skills to get that started (or wealthy parents to loan you a million or so).
In forecasting folks will often use external data. For example let's say you have six different estimates on the growth potential of a market from six external reports. It'd be cool to be able to specify that a range of assumptions have citations. At the moment folks do this using accompanying appendices to financial models, which is pretty gross.

> necessary tasks (setup oversight and monitoring, understand underlying problems and their impact, prioritize, fix

Necessary tasks are boring and it takes persistence to continously do what needs to be done. On the other hand checking various frameworks and endless rewriting may be considered fun by some. They're learning new things.

For the record I know how it feels as I've got a similar experience at work, people flock to new and shiny where old and tested works well and gets the job done.
Funny how it wasn't a problem in America until they made "One flew over the cuckoos nest."
Of course they should not have committed those crimes, and their victims deserve justice.

But justice isn't served by making someone homeless and then preventing them visiting a library.

Importantly, that also doesn't help with rehabilitation or with preventing reoffending.

If you have a sex offender at risk of re-offending you want to know where they are and what jobs they have. That's made much harder if they're homeless.
I agree with you. I think people tend to associate Kubernetes with the other underlying problems they're having with their infrastructure when they start thinking about using it. Just like it's tough when moving from 0 pieces of software in production to 1 piece of software in production, it's just as tough moving from 1 piece to 2 pieces. But if you do that transition correctly, then the 2 to infinity part is easy. I think you will find it just as painful to make that move with any orchestration system. (CloudFormation? Convox? They're not easy, and you get the feeling that nobody else is using them.)

I wouldn't recommend Kubernetes if you only have one application you run in production. Just rsync your production image to production whenever you remember to do a release. But if you have more than 1 thing, it's time to start thinking about it, because the "do whatever" that works great with 1 thing starts to break down when 1 becomes 2. That is not Kubernetes's fault. That's just the nature of the beast.
Last time I checked, the Everett interpretation has yet to reproduce the "Born Rule" equation for wavefunction collapse.

The Many-Worlds interpretation is nice and fun to talk about, but it hasn't done any heavy lifting in terms of reducing the number of postulates required to describe quantum mechanics.
