I would like to share my experience on publishing my work in a top-tier conference, without any connections with academia. I have been working in industry and is considering shifting to academic research career. But the lack of publications made my chances very low. So I took up a research project, did research on it during "after the job hours". Once I was satisfied with the results, I created an account on IEEE paperplaza, wrote the paper as per the standards set by the journal and submitted. After five months of review, the paper got accepted. You can read more of my story here http://achuwilson.github.io/blog/2016/09/how_i_wrote_researc...
I believe it's not really feminism so much as a societally pernicious type of individualism.

Certainly liberated women may be part of the cause, but there are also no shortage of boy-men who are incapable of sacrifice, hard work and the drudgery of responsibility.

The social structures that enforced all that appear to have broken down. And that's not all together a bad thing but certainly it causes societal problems in the short term until things adjust (hopefully better than what they were before).
I don't think Le Roux ever lived in the Netherlands. He had or has children and an ex-wife who live there, though.

later edit: the word "bitcoin" appears only once in The Mastermind. Ratliff says he was emailed many times by people who believed Le Roux was Satoshi. He spent "countless hours" investigating the claim and found no evidence of any connection.

I am sorry that people you disagree with exist in the world, that is just the way it is. Only you can determine your engagement with society, and you can absolutely choose to only associate with your bubble and ideology, but you don't get choose who exists.

That's an extremely negative-sum way of viewing the world. Some individual humans (and even communities) can and have had a net-positive impact on the environment. For instance, did the parents of Greta Thunberg have a net-negative impact on the world by choosing to bring her into it?

When people implicitly say that bringing children in the world is necessarily a net-negative on climate, they're implying that their lifestyle is necessarily net-carbon-positive and that they just refuse to do enough to make their own lifestyle net-carbon-negative. Yet it IS possible to do so. I'm reminded of this Indian fellow who planted an entire forest pretty much by himself (although surely his wife/family also helped enable him to accomplish that goal): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7i3QlMvsZs

...there are so many decisions one can make to cut one's carbon emissions to near zero. And some decisions can even make one's carbon emissions negative (some startups at Y Combinator, even... although there are more proven methods as well).

The most powerful thing as a parent is that you can help pass on your values to your children. Teach them (through example) how to live a low or negative carbon lifestyle and teach them the value of the environment and why the Earth must be protected. Plant trees. Make intentional decisions with lifestyle (mode of travel, living arrangements, diet) that lower carbon emissions, and explain these things to your children starting at a young age.

Because the world will NEED people with those values in the future if climate change will ever be addressed and eventually reversed without a collapse of human civilization. Because if everyone with a positive view of the environment and the need to fight climate change does not pass on that worldview to their children, BUT those who deny climate change and do not value the environment pass on their worldview to their children, then that is clearly not going to work out for those who value the environment.
As biological organisms, notions of birth/death are hard wired into the lowest levels of our cerebral kernel which serves as the foundation for every higher level of consciousness. As such, we only have the fundamental architecture to perceive an existence that is (literally) grounded in a small gravity well, with all of our primary circuitry distinctly focused on what is in “front” of both in space and time. As organisms, we cannot directly experience time that preceded our own existence, we can only mentally model that experience through intuition. That works well enough for relating to the existence of other organisms and the physical world we share, but that relatability breaks down quickly at larger space/time scales.

Incidentally, though our individual multicellular existences may follow a birth/death cycle, the molecular information flow (DNA) that transcends our organismal existences may perhaps provide the closest approximation to a model necessary to conceptualize possible relationships between multiple space-times.

(I’m clumsily alluding to the blackhole/whitehole infinitely branching multiverse concept, with DNA playing the part of sub-atomic mass/energy primitives which encode the structure of new unidirectional space-times/universes in an endless phylogeny which ultimately still doesn’t get us anywhere closer to “where did it all begin?” but surely expands the scope of the investigation wide enough to buy us enough time to keep procrastinating... Ok, back to work.)

disclaimer: I only got a B in undergrad physics and have absolutely no clue what I’m talking about.
I'm alright with it if one of the moderators changes the article link to the one you provided.
I'm not sure your story proves a whole lot.

By the way you phrase it, the outcome of the older sister hinged upon the husband failing to get a job as a pharmacist. If he had successfully landed a job, the outcome of your story would be very different.

The same argument could be made for the younger sister. What happens when Walmart downsizes, and the husband is out of job with a background only in retail?

I'm not sure it is worth citing or criticizing the 'prudence' of either couple.
You can just drag and drop the file on repl.it and it'll just work :)
A related issue is thyroid cancer. Diagnosis rates started increasing dramatically almost everywhere in the world in the mid 80's. Diagnosis rates in the US for example have tripled since 1980, in South Korea they have gone up 13x since 1993. Meanwhile the mortality rate has been completely flat. The most likely cause of this is increase in both screening and the sensitivity of testing [1]. There is also a current debate about if we should be screening / treating thyroid cancer the way we are, i.e. it seems like we're detecting a lot of innocuous thyroid cancers and then operating without need resulting in unnecessary life long complications for the person.

What people want? The whole bloody point of authoritarianism is that it doesn't care about what people want! It being "wanted" is deeply artificial from repressing the opposition and manufacturing support.

It brings to mind jokes that people should nobody should ever listen to monarchists because that is what they want - their opinion on government to not matter.

> The [forklift] tires often dont even need to be removed, as they have more treads that can be created by pulling out zip-tie like spacers in the worn tread

Wow, that's clever. But it does make me ask, tread is AFAUI for dealing with water on the ground, and I guess also when the vehicle's going at speed.

Forklifts AFAIK operate mainly indoors, and even then they never get up to any speed that I've ever seen, so why treads at all?

It gets complicated fast.

Sometimes small differences in formulations will be mostly irrelevant (oh no, your ibuprofen takes a few extra minutes to absorb, but will 99% absorb under almost all circumstances).

But other times, a new crystalline form exists that you weren’t aware of and destroys your entire ongoing production. Same molecule, but different structure that’s too stable and doesn’t dissolve effectively. See: ritonavir.
You know what I mean, it's why I included "implies."

It's not event an America-centric view, it's an urban America view. Live in a district that has only one school for each grade level, and suddenly the rich kids and the poor kids get the same education opportunities. I personally believe that's one of the reasons the upper midwest consistently has the best overall ranked schools in America.
And what about your environmental impact? How do you justify that?
To me this seems like xCloud is in response to Stadia. Google has the infrastructure and Microsoft and Sony need to work together to compete. This would be similar to how Microsoft and Sony responded to the Nintendo Wii.

As a consumer I actively avoid vendors who use Square, anyways (at least whenever I can). Way too creeped out by their data harvesting and tracking of purchases. I made the mistake of choosing "email me my receipt" years ago and have been paying for it ever since. As far as I'm concerned, Square is garbage.
I think you mean the West End of Boston. The North End is mostly intact. The West End was "renewed" because it was seen by some (generally not the residents) as a slum. The residents were largely poor, and/or minorities of one type or another, and they were not in a position to lobby for preservation of their neighbourhood. If you are interested in the history, I recommend visiting the West End Museum.
And what, large scale battery grids don’t need to be replaced with even more regularity?
I have noticed that people have been more and more intolerant to family flying with kids.

I think we hear about the bad stuff, some flight attendant or passenger complains, and the logical conclusion of a family with a crying baby is booted is the end result. My counter-anecdote is the exact opposite, my fourteen month old daughter cried the majority of our 3.5 hour return flight and she was quietest (not quiet but quietest) was when I was standing and holding her in the middle of the aisle. Any dirty looks, and I scanned for them occasionally, were non-existent (or I missed them and they never vocalized) and most people either had noise-cancelling headphones or just rolled with it. When we apologized for the noise there was a lot of "Oh ours our teenagers now, we've been there, you're ok!"

Some of it maybe the bigger stink they make the longer it all takes, but a lot of it is probably shared communal experiences. If some baby was wailing their lungs off next to me on a plane, I'd roll with it, the parent(s) is having a far tougher time of it then I am.
Oh man, all that is decidely out of my realm of expertise. Is there a TL;DR on why BBs are not possible?
I love filtering through traffic on my bike. My favorite hobby while passing cars trapped in traffic is counting how many aren't solo drivers in a given stretch of traffic, excluding work trucks/delivery. Usually it's under 10%. It's fun to imagine how this would look if all these people were on a bike, but 20' x 6' apart like they are currently arranged in these singly occupied cars. Bonkers.
Why do people want so much? I love minimalism, owning hardly nothing, saving, having no friends or acquaintances. After reading this thread I feel like everybody else is greedy.

My point was that you still call functions and return from them, you have conditionals, and you still have a call stack with lexical scoping (and Main). You have a very similar control flow model compared to any other language. The other comment explained pretty well what they meant by having the control flow not being dictated by the language - with the expressiveness of haskell’s core language you can dictate your control flow for your embedded dsl.
Wow, neither of these examples are at all appetizing as an example of a life well lived!
If that is true of organisms, then life of all types is a net negative.

What a sad perspective. I know many people who contribute massively to the environment. Maybe you need to choose a different, pro-environment lifestyle? Plant some trees. It's possible to live carbon negative and pass on those values to your children.
So... kinda like the Darwin Awards, but not really?
That makes a lot of sense. It also feels like a very solvable problem.

If I had the option to get annual MRI scans, but I had to sign a waiver that prevents me from suing the doctor or the hospital, then I would gladly take that deal. I'd rather have the data and an expert opinion, instead of no data and no opinion. If they miss something and I die, then no problem (mainly because I'm dead, but also because I would have died anyway). If they do a biopsy and it turns out that it was nothing, then that's also no problem. It's what I signed up for, and I understand that false positives can happen. Hopefully I could find a level-headed doctor (or a black-box machine learning algorithm), and just trust them to make the right call.
Well, I've put in the hours also- in a past life I studied art and traditional animation (hand-drawn) so I've learned a thing or two about framing. It has its place in a production setting where the emphasis is on finishing a drawing within a deadline, but as a teaching tool to show kids how to draw I'd really question its use.

For me the goal of teaching kids to draw should be to allow them to "unlock" their ability to communicate their experience of the world using form and colour. They should be shown the cave art from Lasceaux and Altamira, and inspired to look for their own internal representation of what their eyes can see and the ways to reproduce it on paper (or whatever medium). Not to follow closely someone else's set of lines.

So what if a kid learns to draw the same pretty butterfly, and only that one pretty buttefly, again and again and again, for ever? What has she achieved?

Here, this is the kind of art that should be taught to kids:

> It's always been so shocking to me that the reaction to "we get false positives" is not "we need to pour money for research into much better diagnostic techniques yesterday" and instead it's "well I guess we'll just not look then".

I think it is both. I think we tell people not to get bad diagnostics while also putting a lot of research into making the diagnostics better so we can tell them to get the diagnostics again.
Plus, I'm under the impression that "can't get a job as a pharmacist" is a rare problem.
> Michelin's new Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System (Uptis) does away with one of the defining aspects of tires as we've known them for more than 100 years: the air inside.

Absolute nonsense. Airless tires have been around for about that long also. I've seen airless motorcycle tires from circa 1920 in a museum: they looked a lot like that picture of the new one: basic hub shapes with lateral voids in them.

They are in use currently; I've seen them from time to time over the years on various earth-moving equipment around town.

The idea of airless tires for general motorist use gets periodically trotted out by snake oil salesmen as some new revolutionary thing that will take over the industry.

Pneumatic tires have superior performance because the entire volume of air around the wheel provides the suspension and shock absorption, rather than just the compression of a small amount of material around the contact patch.

I used looker for a year, brought it into a previous company and looked (pun unintentional) at using it in the present one. The sales team turned me off completely, very aggressive, Always-Be-Closing types and I could not be bothered listening to them. I had a very weird meeting where one of them broke out in a sweat and sort of flipped out and then had to leave the room, the sales engineer did not know what to do and tried to go, oh look over there, while the guy paced up and down the corridor, head bouncing over the frosted glass. He arrived back, rubbing his fore-head, smacking his cheeks, apologising profusely and then trotted out the usual sales junk. Loved the original team and the product was great but I suppose thats what happens when you have to scale up - the bozos clamber aboard.

That's taking the average of all humanity.

If pro-environment people do not have children to pass their values to but anti-environment people do, then clearly there won't be much support for climate action in the future.

Climate action is still a very long road. Yes, we probably already have nearly 1.5C baked in, but our children and grandchildren will still have a massive role in the future of the environment.
Wow, I have completely missed this one - thank you, will definitely try it out!
>At that point they should have expelled you-

That is an interesting point. "Get rid of the bad so the good can flourish". Which is opposite of the "equity" doctrine so popular over the last year.

I don't know what 'expelled' means in your definition. I was kicked out of the normal high school and sent to an 'alternative placement center' full of troubled youth several times. That was part of the reason I never failed a grade in high school.

The alternative center had very few teachers and had students from 6th grade through 12th. In the math and english classes, they were combined with students from high school and middle school. So when I'd get sent there, I'd have failing grades in math and english, but then in the alternative center, I was given 6th grade level work which I got all A's on and saved me for the year.

If you got kicked out of the alternative center, there was some kind of bootcamp type place you'd go to. Most of the kids I know that got sent there just ended up dropping out of school completely.

But all this is a contradiction. Many here are against homeschooling, yet when push comes to shove, no one wants trouble makers in the public school. But if homeschooling is bad and they can't go to public school, then what is left?
Measuring quality of software products is not a social science. You have clear metrics on time it takes to develop something, number of people you need to develop it, numbers of defects per project, and so on. Once you have massive amounts of data, as we now have with repositories like GitHub, it becomes possible to look for trends across languages.

I'm not saying there aren't challenges associated with measuring these things, as there obviously are, but it's certainly possible to study them. And the more studies we have, the more confidence we get regarding the effects.
Probably the only way of releasing the energy fast is to short the battery with a thick wire, or to burn the whole battery with an external source.

There's no rule that having lots of bound up energy has to be dangerous, that it has to be possible to release it quickly. There's enormous amount of potential energy in pure hydrogen gas. If you can just fuse the atoms. But it's incredibly hard to release it.
