Billions of dollars are at stake for companies that need to understand how their ads are working across ecosystems and to realize the value (or lack thereof) for media buys. Many of the sites that place media also are doing so to offset the costs for users.

It is but how long does it take? I do not believe it is as simple as saying:

Person A has an IQ of 102
Person B has an IQ of 104, therefore; the child will have an IQ of 103. There is no specific IQ gene and so I would imagine that it would take just as long from an evolutionary standpoint to decrease the average IQ as it would for us to loose our tails and stop living in tree's. It certainly wouldn't happen in a matter of 30 years. At least, I don't think it would... I could be wrong but I don't believe I am.

When drivers are already driving for Lyft and Uber the on-boarding is taken care of.

Uber and Lyft are pushing margins down because they want to extract profit to pass back to shareholders. When revenue only goes to supporting the infrastructure and paying riders the only competition is who can deliver the cheaper ride. Delivering the cheaper ride for Uber/Lyft while also generating a profit means the driver needs to take a hit. Why would the driver take a hit when he can drive on a platform that pays better?

This looks cool! A few comments:

- I peeked at the VVM implementation, since I've been looking for an implementation of data frames for my shell Oil [1]. I've looked at Hadley Wickham's dplyr code, R's data.table library, Pandas (which is somewhat awkwardly based on NumPy), and a little bit at Apache Arrow. I also remember R has a "zoo" library though I haven't used it much.

Was your designed influenced by any system in particular? I've had a hard time finding any descriptions of data frames other than the code. I have less experience with time series, but I believe the main issue on top of data frames is having joins by time columns (e.g. your "asof" operator).

But otherwise, could VVM could be used for dplyr-style analysis? dplyr has a very rich set of operators.

https://www.rstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/data-wran...

Hadley does a good job of describing the high level philosophy, but I've been looking for low level advice, like how to do vectorized math quickly with overflow checks and so forth. (Do you have ints or is everything a float?) Maybe it's not a big deal, but it's not something I have experience with. I'd like to read about someone's implementation, especially in portable C / C++. I think a lot of earlier systems were in Fortran/assembly.

I guess your implementation is fairly different because the language is statically typed. I peeked and it looks like DataFrame is std::vector<void star>, which makes sense for static typing.

Have you looked at how Julia does things? It has macros and fast code generation. I imagine you started this project before Julia 1.0, where they added NA for data frame support. I'm more of an R and Python user, but I find Julia pretty interesting, e.g. something like this approach is impossible in R or Python AFAIK:

Anyway I hope to have time to play with this a bit more. I don't have that many time series use cases but I'm definitely interested in data frames!

Sure. My interest is primarily practical strength, and by that I mean "ability to move my own body through space in practical real world situations, as opposed to sheer brute force". The end state is more “jacked” than big. Looking jacked is certainly an ego boost, but the confidence that comes from being able to stunts like one arm pull-ups + pushups, wall walking etc is by far the biggest win for me. Not quite there on the pull-ups/pushups but getting real close after about a year of training, building on a decent base. I just think gymnastics is bad-ass in general.

I’ll check out those critiques. I will say though that there is a real philosophy explained in convict conditioning about avoiding injury, proper form etc that I found extremely helpful after my first try at getting big in the gym.

I used VLC for many years without issue, but eventually it became unstable on my system and then wouldn't even launch, even after a fresh re-install. So to share something with others who may be looking for an alternative, MPC-BE with madVR and LAV audio decoder is amazing. I had some issues with MPC-BE out of the box: video tearing and muffled dialog during movies. madVR improves video rendering performance and LAV audio improves audio decoding.
Good job. Don't worry too much. There will be no consequences for you in the long run. Honesty also makes you stronger. You will just find a employer who will do things honestly. But do read algorithms and coding questions thoroughly.

Good Advice; here's a bit more detail.

Muscles respond to training input much faster than tendons (which attach muscles to the bones) and ligaments (which attach bones to other bones), roughly on a scale of 6 weeks vs 6 months. This is because the muscles have a vastly greater blood supply and connective tendons & ligaments have very limited blood supply. So, it is especially critical for people who are new to weight training and those have not been in weight training for a long time to watch out for this lag.

Tendons & ligaments also take much longer to recover from injury than do muscles.

Your muscles will show measurable improvements in ability to lift more weight & do more reps within weeks. You can keep pushing it some, but be really slow and careful about it for the first couple years. Do more reps and only slowly build up the peak weights. Push it too fast and you may find yourself on the bench for many weeks with an injured tendon. This will setback your training progress far worse than managing your weight increases.

More generally, in all kinds of training, the key is that your body actually gets stronger during the rest periods after being stimulated by the training input.

Good training input actually breaks down the muscles a little bit (too much and it's just injury). The rebuilding process will rebuild them stronger to handle the input just received. So, you must train to get anything to happen, but if you train too much / rest too little, you will merely be breaking down the muscle faster than it repairs.

Another question is pain. You may often hear "push through the pain", "no pain, no gain", "pain is your friend", etc. This is partially true, but it really depends on type the pain. My general rule of thumb is: the brurning pain in your muscles that gets more intense as you get towards failure is almost always fine, push through it. But any really sharp pain that starts suddenly, in muscles or especially joints -- you are already two seconds too late -- stop the loading as quickly as you can safely do (e.g., drop the weight, but not on yourself or your spotter), in order to minimize damage. Also, immediate ice is your friend here.

Enthusiasm & vigor is great, just be sure your body also gets the time it needs to actually build the strength & fitness you seek. I encourage everyone to pursue their best fitness - enjoy it!

Is there large wealth inequality in Norway? That is one of the studies this article references.
If the rate of growth of your assets exceeds your rate of spending by enough to handle volatility, then later on you have significantly more assets to borrow against. As long as the net value of the position grows fast enough, you can kick this can down the road indefinitely. The loan gets paid back after you die, when you no longer owe capital gains taxes on the proceeds.

I dont think anybody argues that types replace documentation. However, documentation without types tends to get repetitive and requires you to come up with ways to structure it properly. Turns out, you can encode a lot of information into a type and now it can be automatically verified and frees you to write documentation for things that can not be expressed in types.

This is such a weird argument to me. The vast, vast majority of historical figures do not show up on currency or monuments. That doesn't mean they've been "erased" from history, it just means we don't celebrate and memorialize them. Likewise, choosing to remove monuments or figures from currency does not in any way equate to removing them from the history books. You're still welcome to read all about Andrew Jackson, teach courses on him, whatever you'd like.

> IMO it highly depends whether a company’s goal is short or long term gain.

It has been the case, recently, that a company that is traded publicly cannot have a long term goal - any such goal is held in place solely by the ephemeral existence of an autocratic executive and will dissipate once they are removed or retire, instead corporations seek constantly to maximize short term gain since incentive systems like stock options and our current form of performance evaluations reinforce this strategy.

Most of the companies that have had long term clout or tried to invest in long term research have been acquired and butchered by venture capitalists for a quick payday.

Right, right. And also I am shorting 27 thimgamajillions of Tesla stock, of course.

You can't show (least of all on some fanboy Youtube video) that AutoPilot had prevented a crash, compared to a normal person just driving a car. A Tesla crashing into a firetruck -- that you can show.

What you could show would be crash statistics over a significant population of similar cars, in similar conditions, driving on similar roads. These statistics don't seem to show any safety benefit to Tesla, but believers will believe.

Your assets tend to become more valuable over time, which allows you to borrow more money to pay the interest and give yourself spending money.

Eg, suppose you have $10M in assets and borrow $200k against it. Next year it's worth something like $10.7M on average, you get charged something like $8k in interest, and you borrow another $200k to spend. So long as you leave enough of a buffer against volatility and the rate of growth of your assets is high enough, you can just borrow money indefinitely against appreciating assets.

People did this in the run-up to the 2008 housing crisis with homes, too. Take out a loan, cash-out refinance later when it's worth more, end up with a house you've taken more cash out of than put in.

IQ is just an abstraction, an assessment of one's ability to perform a range of cognitive tasks. Intelligence itself cannot be directly measured.

You're making too many extreme claims to be defensible. You might have a point for recent language fads, but choice of language absolutely does have an impact on your work and the nature of the bugs you're going to be dealing with. If you choose to use a language with a poor ecosystem, then you're going to have to build a lot more tools in house that are going to be subpar compared to more vigorously maintained libs and frameworks in another language. If you decide to write in JavaScript, then you're going to introduce bugs that TypeScript would have statically checked against. It all depends on the nature of your problem and what tradeoffs you're willing to make.
There is! As soon as it is implemented in the language, I will consider Go.
How much variation is explained by genetics versus environment depends on the range of genetics and the range of environments you're looking at. In the US you've got the the full range of normal h sapiens diversity but all children get to drink pasteurized milk, eat iodized salt, use indoor plumbing, and go to school. If you look at a country like India where that isn't true you'll see a much more pronounced impact of shared environment on IQ.

And it isn't that IQ is all genetic, it's that it's half genetic, half something we don't know how to measure, and very little shared or family environment.

The biggest problem with PureScript right now is so many of the libraries have little traditional documentation.

They often just include generated module level type/function docs as in the `purescript-web-dom` one you linked to. Meanwhile the developer just wants a quick overview and some examples of querying the DOM in order to evaluate it.

I tried using PureScript last year but I was having dependency problems like crazy. Largely because everything was very alpha and dependency chains were unreliable.

It's good to see the community maturing, there's still some way to go first, which is excepted with any new language. I might try it out again this weekend as I'm a fan of Haskell.
The Biggest and Coolest Announcements from Google I/O 2019
> The point is that you shouldn't judge all religions because some are bad, any more than you should judge all atheists by the behavior of Russia and China.

Except nobody is doing that.

First of all, a generalized statement does not necessarily mean that it applies to all individuals that are part of the group. The majority of religious groups on the planet are in favour of discrimination against homosexuals, and that position can be found in a significant part of all major religions. Also, almost all opposition to equal rights for homosexuals comes from religious groups and individuals. And it's also not just a coincidence, but rather explicitly justified with religous traditions and scripture, so the connection between persecution of homosexuals and religion is made very explicitly by those religious people themselves. And even those religious groups that support homosexuals now were to a large degree participating in the persecution just a few decades, many less than a decade, ago, so it is still often very justified to judge them for the damage they have done before they changed their mind.

None of those apply to atheists, let alone atheism. There is no connection between not believing in a god and wanting to discriminate against homosexuals. Atheists generally don't have any particular tendency to discriminate against homosexuals, and where atheists do discriminate against homosexuals, more often than not you can find religious influence on their culture as the cause behind that.

Also, I have no clue why you are constantly using Russia, a majority religious country, as an example of atheists doing things. And while it is difficult to know exactly how many Russians belong to which religion, it is just obvious that the opposition to equal rights for homosexuals in Russia is primarily the work of religious people on religious grounds, so it is just weird that you are using them as an example of supposedly atheists persecuting homosexuals.

If you are religious and do not and have never discriminated against homosexuals for their homosexuality, that's great, and I welcome your contribution to making the world a better place. But that does not mean that the generalized statement I made was unjustified, you personally simply weren't meant by it. However, it would still be appropriate to judge you for continuing to use the epistemology that those other people used and still use to convince themselves that persecuting homosexuals is the right thing to do, when that should be a clear demonstration that it is not reliable and is prone to lead to terrible outcomes.
