People have an increasing tendency to view those with opposing moral positions as not just wrong morally, but also wrong factually, despite there being no facts involved in the discussion. (Attempts to explain the is-ought gap typically don't change minds, at least not in the short term.)
Monitoring

From the beginning of my career in web development I worked in companies that had good to great monitoring capabilities in place to log and measure performance, resource usage, availability, errors, etc. in all parts of the system. so I took it as something self-evident that you would add that first thing, before deploying a new project.

Only recently as I started mentoring people in other companies did I realize that many developers or not aware of what exists in this space.

In two cases I got asked for help to deal with performance issues, and in neither case did they have any idea what was causing them, because they had pretty much no tooling to tracking it down, so they resorted to speculation. We installed a application monitoring solutions and they were able to fix the problem in no time once it was identifiable.
But no "government" was involved. This is a private company with international investors.

Overwatch also has a proper proxy for how experienced a player is -- the player's account level, which is displayed prominently on the scoreboard. Skins are a lot less visible, the game gives them away pretty liberally, and the default skins aren't radically different in appearance from most of the paid ones.
Maybe larger scale, like competing with Instacart. Maybe partnering with Best Buy or phone carriers to enable fairly low-cost same day delivery for electronics, etc.

> What makes you think Microsoft intended to keep hololens-class devices manufacturing to themselves?

Nothing, but they'll be wanting HoloLens-class devices to be running Windows. This thing runs Android.

> We've seen hardware plays like this in the past with the Surface design which seems to have too odd of a cadence and release cycle to be purely motivated as a product offering.

As you say, the Surface was aimed squarely at heading high end iOS devices off at the pass.

Microsoft doesn't care too much about hardware. They care a whole heckin' lot about Windows. (Just like Valve with Steam, for instance.) The hardware is ephemeral, owning the platform is where it's at.

Sorry, but if you're going to design a car that replaces not just the infotainment system, not just the climate controls, but the entire instrument console with a touchscreen, then it would seem to me one of the places you absolutely do not want to cut corners on is...the touchscreen.

"One of the best cars in the world" is obviously subjective, and there are some ways in which Tesla is absolutely leading. But all of the innovation on display in Teslas don't earn them a free pass on build quality issues.

>> there is an enormous body of evidence demonstrating
>> that the gender pay gap is driven by overt sexism
>> and institutional barriers

Now, let's not make things up. Every time this question is seriously examined, it turns out that whatever "pay gap" there is is because women, on average, choose to not negotiate their pay, to work in less demanding jobs than men, and to work less in general. I'm not aware of a single rigorous study that links pay differences to "overt sexism" or anything of that sort.

In fact, recently Google did a study of its own, and found out that at least at Google more _men_ tend to be underpaid: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/04/technology/google-gender-...
This whole thing stinks. It's hard to imagine, that those issues did not exist before Monsanto was acquired by Bayer.
Anti-women groups use it in a derogatory way, so if you're in those communities that's how you'd see it used. Similar to how many people use feminism as an epithet.

Most people don't know what aquagenic wrinkling is. It's a medical term for what most people call "getting pruney" in a long bathtub soak, only people with CF rapidly get severely pruney.

It's an interesting study on a potential cheap, quick and effective screening test for identifying children in India with a high confidence level for purposes of additional testing.

There are few CF testing centers in India. Due to cost and distance, it can be a hardship on a family to travel to one. This suppresses identification of this deadly disorder in the Indian population.

I dunno, I'm not prone to resentment. Anxiety, occasional anger, regret (for my own fails) - perhaps (and the practice helps a lot with these) but resentment - I can only speculate about how does it feel. I just know nobody but me myself, people's illusions (people themselves are perfect, their brains just are prone to misjudgment and unconscious behavior, as is mine although mine is already quite trained and less prone to these this way) and unfortunate consequences (which are nothing but a perfectly neutral manifestation of pure chaos) can be "guilty" in anything I would dislike. Resentment doesn't ever seem making any sense.

Are all sites deemed political down-weighted equally? Is this a manually curated list or also algorithmically determined somehow?

Are there other categories / topics that sites might be placed in that affect their ranking?

The problem of trying to apply weights to domains and/or specific submissions based on some idea of how well they fit the ethos of the site seems like an interesting one!
This is totally fake.

Google has to MANIPULATE it's search results to put NPR first.

The smaller sites are linked to more often but Google doesn't want you to see them for political reasons.

The smaller sites don't want regulation - they want and end to manipulation and censorship.

And most reasonable conservative people see NPR,BBC at least as garbage extremist left wing outlet, and would not want to see them at all.

This is really fun, good work Philip!

I haven't seen this puzzle game before, I had to read into it a bit (and had to actually cheat a bit, via solve_puzzles.py.)

Works fine out of the box with python 3, no extra libraries required.

This is good enough to submit to PyPI. Seems like a nice terminal game. Something to play in a tmux pane while tests are running or while waking up with a coffee.

Also I looked at the code, it looks fine.

I saw the multiprocessing in generate_puzzles. Wow. I don't even know what Thread.starmap does. This works nicely.

Keep it up!

While this might be true, you then possibly have a very noisy 20% previous customer base who may or may not buy your car again, and if noisy enough might convince others your designs are shoddy and are not worth the premium price tag you're trying to sell them for. Brands are not worth nothing.

It's cheaper to build undecorated boxes. Calling it high art is just a cover. There is also a skill shortage since nobody has paid for quality in generations. The craftsmen that meticulously laid intricate art deco brickwork don't exist anymore and no modern mason can seem to do as good a job. Instead we get uninspired generic concrete and glass prisms designed to maximize square footage for the landlords.

Companies shouldn't be allowed to offer pensions. They also should be forced to fund government mandated liabilities.

Companies don't have a good track record of lasting more than 60 years. It's only a matter of time before they go bankrupt. And when bankruptcy is a way of shedding your pension obligations, they'll go out of their way to go bankrupt to shed it.

>The billion-dollar punitive damages verdict, moreover, is not crazy considering that the point of punitive damages is to deter similar conduct in the future

I think most would be ok with this reasoning behind punitive damages, as long as lawyers representing victims cannot collect more than, say 1.2 mln $USD (or some large multiple of a minimal wage).

Otherwise, the obscene punitive damages are transferred as insurance cost, baked into pharma costs, and covered exclusively by US consumers.

> Write a thank-you note.

> Thank someone mentally.

> Keep a gratitude journal.

> Count your blessings.

> Pray.

> Meditate.

I don't really see the first two things as being specifically spiritual, and I don't see it as much of a stretch to see that they can help with mental well-being. The third one is somewhat recursive, so I obviously can't argue that it isn't specific to gratitude.

The next two definitely feel spiritual, but I feel like they could pretty easily be expressed with "appreciation" and still be spiritual, e.g. "appreciate your blessings" or "appreciate the presence of god".

I'll be honest and say that from my naive understanding of meditation, I don't exactly know how it falls into the "gratitude" bucket. If I were asked to describe what "meditation" is in the spiritual sense, I definitely would have been more like to use the word "appreciation" than "gratitude", e.g. "appreciate one's place in the universe", so I don't really know enough to understand the distinction here.

Overall, to me, this list seems to be a mix of things that are overtly or mostly spiritual and things that don't seem particularly spiritual to me. Maybe it's just my lack of knowledge about this sort of topic, but I'm still not seeing any huge distinction between the two terms based off of those quotes. I definitely agree that from them, the course definitely seems to have a spiritual bent, but the word "gratitude" at least to me doesn't have anything to do with it.

> Where did I write that they are objectionable?

Fair enough; I may have been inferring a tone that wasn't present. It just strikes me as a bit odd that you feel so strongly about the differences between gratitude and appreciation when they don't seem that different to me (and from reading other comments, others seem to share this confusion).

The temperature is tracked locally, I assume you mean if the AC fails it notifies you remotely?

It is a good question if, while in dog mode, if the car detects the temperature exceeds the set point, will it lower the windows or try to notify the owner?

Leaving your dog in the car for an extended amount of time is not a good idea, and in many places is illegal. And yet, sometimes the safest place for your dog is in the car.

Personally I haven’t used it yet, but I like the option of a big display showing the interior temperature of my dog is in the car without me for a few minutes.

I would assume the fix is simple, but, looking now, the HTML HN generates is somewhat borked. The first paragraph of my comment is not in a <p> tag, though the remainder are, and all three paragraphs are nested within a single <span>. (A <span> should contain phrasing content, which <p> is not.) Styling paragraphs would probably necessitate fixing this first.
Not sure why you are downvoted.

I disagree with the outcome of this case and leaving scientific decisions in the hands of people who may not have the cogitative skills to make the best assessments is an issue and would like see a solution. That being said, the moral hazards you point out do appear to be a much larger potential issue and I agree the risks of "expert panels" probably aren't worth it. We need some sort of redress to non biased citizens.

Perhaps civil trials with monetary rewards are a different matter than criminal trials though, not sure. Anyway, your point is good.

Obama misused Facebook data during the 2008 election. He was lauded as a tech genius and I saw countless articles about how this was the future of politics.

The only reason Facebook is even bothering to go after these companies is because they don't want to be responsible for re-electing Trump.

It's the same reason they just banned multiple right-leaning influencers from their platform.

It's scary to think what kind of stuff politicans will get away with when they align with FBs politics.

tldr: redis

Hey man, I went down an eerily similar path as you. Seld taught and building a trading system. Wading thru sockets and pipes before discovering zmq and having my whole paradigm for programming completely shifted. Absolutely love zmq, and enjoy thinking of new projects to use with it.

More towards your actual question, I don't think it's as ground shifting of a discovery as zmq, but Redis has also helped me a lot with the trading bot. I use Interactive Brokers, and how their api examples are set up, I haven't figured out how to design my system using only message requests like you see in micro-service style programs. Also when requesting a price for any given contract, I don't like the idea of having to request it once I need the price and then waiting on the network for the brokerage to receive my request and then the price to come back to me. By that point the price or whatever data you're requesting can get stale depending on the speed and timefrime you're wanting to play. So what I did was just request ahead of time streaming data for contracts I'm interested in, and I write that continuously to a localhost redis server. And then whenever any of my bots need information, they check to pull the latest value from that redis server first before going out to the brokerage platform to request the data directly. Basically cuts the full round trip time in half if it can find the data locally first. I believe this is a similar programming paradigm as using redux if you have experience with that, but I've never personally used redux so don't quote me on that.
And it wasn't a "shuttle".
From a machine learning standpoint, I would guess that this is achieved with a partially supervised approach. The idea would be to embed an entire face dataset from a number of different poses to a latent space by some method (could be as simple as PCA, or as complex as an arbitrary neural network). An arbitrary classification method (using a partial labelling of faces by gender) yields a hyperplane which optimally separates the labelled points. Then, something like a simple reflection across this hyperplane yields another point in the latent space, and the generator yields a corresponding face of the opposite gender.

Anyone know if this has been implemented for a task like this?

No, it rules exactly that it exists or not. That's a tertiary logic, although not a legit figure of speech. I mean, if they didn't rule that the monopoly doesn't exists, which would have stopped the motion, and neither decided that monopoly was a fact, then they decided for or.
The trick is to include a variety of results early. Sources often can be grouped into blocks which return mostly the same results. Better to reduce the quantity of returns from the top block in order to include on the front page a few from the second and third tier.

Or maybe a text search equivalent to Yelp’s “re-search in this area” (after narrowing the map). Perhaps to be able to select some results and hit a “more like this” button.

It's a different matter entirely if Monsanto fed false information to the reporter. But it seems like they're pointing out that the IARC ignored scientific data and published an opinion on glyphosate contrary to the scientific consensus and every other regulator body. If the IARC's conclusions were flawed, Monsanto should be pointing it out.

I'm also not sure why you'd need internal Monsanto emails to know that Monsanto is the source, since the Reuters article itself says Monsanto is the source about midway through.
