Also, no amount of post-research data maneuvering can save your conclusions if your data collecting method is seriously flawed and the data corrupted. If you work with corrupted data, you get unreliable results, plain and simple, as I believe you researchers definitely understand with all your academic training. Pretty basic stuff, right? That is until you start getting attached to your results: they just fit your cultural presumptions so well. Northern European countries are populated by altruistic angels and east Asia, by petty shoplifters who steals napkins from fancy restaurants. Also, what can you do? All those years and research funds for nothing? Better make the results sound plausible, well, at least to a western audience. What a bummer it’ll be if no significant difference is found?

The judges aren't forced to make every case public. There are clear guidelines for when not to, where otherwise there are requirements to clarify the reasons. The judges aren't following the guidelines, because there's no repercussions and it makes their job easier.
That needs to change. And also the judges are supposed to weigh up the secrecy vs public interest, which is clearly not happening.
It's an insightful contrast to draw. There are a number of differences between dentistry and other health professions, but I think the most relevant differences are the size of the typical firm together with the total cost for any particular patient. Many dental clinics are just one or two dentists, who have no business relationship with any other clinic. (There are "fast-food" chains like Aspen Dental, but they are a relatively low portion of the overall industry.) Also, although some patients might get low-five-figures worth of dental work in a particular year, that much is fairly uncommon. That same sum could be one day in a hospital, which is usually owned by a firm with thousands of employees. Lots of formerly self-employed physicians have been forced to join big firms to retain admitting privileges etc.

Dental insurance firms would probably like to engage in all the price-fixing and patient confusion that other health insurance firms enjoy, but they can't possibly employ enough people to arrange their dastardly schemes with tens of thousands of different dentists. Instead, they have to publish (to dentists, not to the public) lists of reimbursement limits by procedure code. Dentists decide whether they'll accept any particular insurance plan largely based on reimbursement, and many of them are willing to discuss those decisions with their patients. At the same time, most dental patients don't have insurance at all [EDIT: and many are fine with that, since they can afford the care they need].

Single physicians in family practice would be in largely the same position as the typical general dentist, but the work they do is a relatively smaller portion of the overall industry. After all the real screwing from medical costs takes place via hospital visits and high-tech imaging. Even a smaller hospital will start getting calls from insurance executives after they generate a few expensive cardiac procedures in any particular quarter.

Don't take this as a defense of dental insurance. It's fine if you get it from an employer, but after working in a dental clinic I don't think anyone should get it privately. If you need a lot of dental work they don't pay for much of it (this is also true of many employer-provided plans). If you don't need a lot of work you end up paying them more than you'd pay the dentist. Most people who need lots of dental work but can't afford it should get loans for that work, from e.g. Care Credit or one of its competitors. Yes, that sucks, but it sucks less than private dental insurance.
I think your observation is a bit off topic. That being said I agree with you. I thought it made the article less effective.
That's also quite rediculous

> why not record 100 takes, upload each and release the correct one and discard the rest

Isn't that a known scam, actually? IIRC it was something like emailing people with the prediction of the outcome of a sports match (let's say 3 options: team A wins, team B wins, or tie) -- one third gets prediction A, another third prediction B, the rest prediction C. Keep track of whom you sent what, then do it again for the people to whom you sent the correct prediction. I think the idea is to end up with a small but very convinced pool of people that might fall for the actual scam, e.g. the offer to predict something with a very valuable outcome, at a charge.
I feel the same way as the parent, and I would say I have a strong preference for Video. I wouldn't need crazy production value, even if you just did something Khan-Academy-style and wrote down terms and showed diagrams of how some of this works it would help me a lot. I found your article pretty interesting but also pretty overwhelming since I'm not fluent in this area.

My next preference would be something like base.cs (https://medium.com/basecs) where, similarly, you at least define terms and draw some diagrams. I find it much easier to follow this stuff when there's something to look at with relations etc.

While I love podcasts, I find learning anything like this pretty much impossible by listening to them. This is partially because it's harder for me to always follow the concepts just by listening, and partially because I'm usually only somewhat engaged (I'm exercising, or driving to work, etc.).

But, maybe I'm also not your target audience, because I have far too basic an understanding of this stuff, so take it with a grain of salt.

> I think YouTube should also allow viewers to see what was removed unless there was a very good reason for it.

If a user removes one of their videos, I think that YouTube is obligated to remove all the metadata as well as the actual video. I think that users would be confused if they tried to remove a video and found that the video title and metadata was still there.

If videos are removed for copyright or policy reasons, that's probably also enough reason to need to remove everything. This is especially true if the violations are in the metadata itself.

> Did you know a video can have a different title depending on your language setting? I'm not sure if that's optional automated Google Translate or written by the uploader.

It's a feature[0] that the uploader can choose to use. I don't think they're really being "opaque" about it; presumably this is what the uploader would prefer users see in those languages.

Best to just put a little GPS tag in every bit of equipment.

Anything expensive ships in a case - just cut an extra slot in the back of the foam and put a tag in. Make sure you get the tags that have more than 3 days battery life!

Then, when it goes missing, wait a few weeks for it to end up resold to someone, then go pick it up. Since they bought it from some shady guy, the loss is on them. If they won't give it back, call the police while standing outside their front door.

Self worth is so fragile. I remember vividly being called a loser just one time in middle school. It has occurred to me at various times in life, even though I know the person who said it doesn't remember it, and they were also WRONG. Still, it gets me down.

I've not been seriously suicidal in life, but it occurs to me that thoughts of suicide maybe is not as difficult to reach as first appears.
Minor nit, the feeling of awfulness from the flu is the effect of your immune system kicking in. The feeling of relief is when it kicks out, because the tide of the battle has turned.
"The clean energy industry should enjoy this moment while it lasts. One of the main reasons coal-fired power plants produced so little in April was because some were down for routine, springtime maintenance. Coal is forecast to return to its perch as the second-biggest source of electricity -- after natural gas -- as those units return to service and demand peaks this summer."
I don't feel quite as strongly as you, but I generally agree. I don't mind if the person is picture-in-picture-style in one of the corners, but I really would rather see something useful on the screen vs. just the person talking to me.
Many, but not all of them said this. Given that GDPR has absolutely no requirement that warnings be issued, it is not reasonable to expect that warnings were issued and/or ignored in cases where it doesn’t specifically say this occurred.
Regarding Depeche, people on Youtube have broken down exactly what each band member was playing during the 80s shows; you might find it interesting. The parts are simple. I don't say that to knock them at all, on the contrary it shows that pianistic excellence has little to do with great synthpop. Alan Wilder is a trained pianist and found little scope for his talents in those shows.

Of course the fast, repetitive bits were either on tape or sampled into the Emulator keyboards.
What does “LLVM implementation of Libc” mean here? Does that just mean an implementation of libc maintained by the LLVM project?
And I couldn't care less about having that right. I would rather have freedom.

If you view the world from the point of view of [rights I have] vs [rights I don't have], you may as well be a happy pig in a cage. This worldview is in fact fascist, because it implies that the state should "give" you rights (giving you this type of right means taking away someone's freedom).

The opposite view is giving you the freedom to do anything as long as you don't attack someone (physically) or steal from them. If you want to prohibit something you must have good reasons, not "let's give everyone rights" or "it makes people feel bad".

Having a "right to not be insulted" means that you don't have the freedom to insult. i.e. you have no freedom of speech. If you put emphasis on the "right", you view the world like the pig in a cage, if you put emphasis on the freedom side, the opposite.

Are you looking at the same table I am? It's currently rising and keeps rising until 2050, which is the end of the prediction table. Slowly--but not that much slower than average.

There was a slight dip between 2010 and 2015, but not enough to be cause smaller cohorts to be a problem nationally. We're talking about the difference of a few hundred thousand kids across a population of 70 million+. There was bigger dip in the 70s.

I can’t find an authoritative source right now, but some random legal advise websites mention that some states allow you to sue an out-of-state business in small claims court as long as you are a resident.
See... and most countries that recognize a right to privacy even in public have found a way to let people film their kids, while still making it illegal to point a private surveillance camera onto a public area (be it from your window or a car).

There is a difference between taking a picture of your kid with someone in the background, and intentionally taking a picture of that person. And turns out that in practice, the law is able to distinguish those two even though technically they're quite similar.
This is a common complaint about companies starting new open source projects, and it really annoys me.

Anyone who works with software knows there are tons of very good reasons why you might want to start a new project from scratch instead of contributing to an existing one. You might find the existing architecture limiting. The trade offs taken to be non optimal (for your use case or in general). Consider the existing code to be low quality. The code contribution process to lax (introducing bugs) or strict (slowing work). Find the community toxic. Want to utilize existing internal code bases. Etc.

There are tons of valid reasons to make a new project, and for most of them you don't want to say it out loud. Saying "your code sucks" or "we don't like you (i.e. toxic community)" is rude. Saying "we don't like the processes" is asking for a long political fight, and likely to be taken as rude by the people who invented them. Saying that they want to utilize internal code bases could be problematic internally. Etc.

In this case I get the feeling that quite a bit of it is disagreeing with the tradeoff's musl took (see: Wanting to make libc more like a library), which has to be about the only reason you are allowed to publicly say. Maybe there are other reasons as well, maybe not.

Sorry to jump down your throat, it's just a common type of comment that I wanted to give a general reply to. (Edit: To be clear I'm not involved with this project, or a google employee for that matter)
> 'Like' as a substitute for 'say' seems to be more recent, generationally-speaking.

It is indeed! Earliest academic mentions seem to be around 1980, and as of 1990 it was used mostly by people under 30: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/455910.pdf?seq=1#page_scan_...

The "be like" quotative is popularly thought to have specifically originated in Southern California youth culture, but I'm not finding any good studies that address this (the one I linked mentions regional differences as a subject they didn't have the data to investigate).
Sorry but this is just crazy. I always wonder if people writing blog posts like that have ever worked in a big company. You need to spend at least 2-3 hours a day doing code reviews and most of the rest you are writing code, which subsequently involves reading the code you wrote yourself and others have written.

Now we currently use Java here. I worked with other programming languages in companies too, for instance C and C++ which were a nightmare with no equal. Don't get me wrong, when I was in college I just loved creating crazy shit with template metaprogramming and preprocessor metaprogramming. Once you mature out of it, this is just the most craziest thing you could ever do.

The reason is simple. Even plain, stupid Java is already incredibly hard to verify during a CodeReview. Spend 2 hours in a row trying to find problems with other's people well written Java code and your brain feels like it explodes. Now with C++ that same task is almost impossible and will likely require 8 hours of your day for the same code volume. With Haskell I would go out on a limb here and say it would require 24 hours of your daily time to handle the same code volume...

Not to mention that most programmers even at Google and Amazon would not even be able to either read or write such code and people like me, who could and did in the past would just shake their heads and move on. Nobody wants to deal with such code outside of university...
Where did you see this ad? You sure it wasn’t a PSA?

I think this is real. In my niche, I've seen some sites that are obviously gaming Google and getting away with it, as well as Google being biased toward older (but aging) sites.

I don't think it's necessarily that Google's algorithm has become worse as much as it is just sites gaming Google a whole lot more. A lot of the most basic blackhat SEO techniques still seem to be working quite well. I think that problem leads Google toward trusting the older results more, which results in the second effect. I imagine it's a balancing act for them.

I think there will be a third wave of search engines some day. Google's approach has worked great until now, but I can't imagine it will continue to work well in 10 - 20 years from now.

Energy Information Agency: Planned U.S. Electric Generating Unit Retirements

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

I count 4144.6 megawatts of coal retirements planned for 2019. But this table was last updated in April.

2000 MW of coal retirements directed this week:

"Illinois directs Vistra to retire 2 GW coal by 2020"

https://www.utilitydive.com/news/illinois-directs-vistra-to-...

The order directs Vistra to retire 2 GW of coal generation by the end of the year. ... The process to retire so much coal by the end of the year must begin very soon, as Vistra must notify the Midcontinent ISO (MISO) of any intended retirements 180 days in advance.

Two weeks ago:

"In a Surprise Announcement, Colstrip Units 1 and 2 to Close by Year-End"

https://www.powermag.com/in-a-surprise-announcement-colstrip...

That's another 614 MW to retire by year's end.
This sounds like Android NDK development will get quite painful in a few years. It previously included a botched libc++ missing a bunch of features. This is libc, but I imagine subtle feature disparities and incompatibilities there will cause plenty of pain as well.
Yes, I think so. Or they just assumed someone selling a pro video camera might be in production and have more equipment.
I don't entirely understand the attacks on e-cigs and vaping.

1) e-cigs/vaping is safer with less carcinogens going into lungs. That will lead to less health issues down the line. Even if kids are getting them, which they shouldn't because it is sold in an age limited regulated market, it is still safer than cigarettes and a regulated market with good production is always safer than an unregulated black market.

2) vaping/e-cigs don't combust, so there is no fire, which almost cuts out the threat of a fire starting completely unless a battery explodes which is very rare. A burning cigarette falling will continue to burn by design every single time.

3) e-cigs/vaping leave no butts, no trash and are mostly devices people want to keep and reuse. Reusability and no pollution are what e-cigs/vaping bring. Cigarette butts are the single greatest source of ocean pollution [1], and next to gum, all over all the time.

Prohibitions and illegality of substances a certain percentage of people will always use, make these areas more dangerous in use/production and make harm reduction much more difficult.

When a new project is proposing to do something that's been done before, potentially multiple times, I think it is reasonable to want to understand how the new project will compare and contrast to work that's already been done.

Asking "How will this project compare to <existing implementation>?" seems quite reasonable to me. In fact, I would expect the person making the proposal to address this question as part of the proposal. It is not desirable to reinvent the wheel without good reason.

It's totally fine if the reason is something like: we want to use a different license, or a different development process, or a different coding style, or whatever. Whatever the actual motivations are, clarifying them up front will be good for everyone.
"...some water vapour on it and very slight discolouration from the colouring in the e-liquid."

"Research estimates that, while not risk-free..."

Less harmful but harmful nonetheless. Not without risk. Contaminants and other unnatural elements are introduced into the lungs.

Vaping is harmful, too.

I would like to see how the renewable section breaks down in to carbon-intensive varieties vs others.

Non-solar, non-hydro renewables make up the bulk of renewable energy, and with the notable exceptions of wind and geothermal, many of these methods are very dirty. Burning of waste/biomass is probably not significantly better than coal from an emissions or pollution standpoint.
You're Being Manipulated
Unfortunately, I don't think "nationwide, planned maintenance" could be considered noise in the coal-output signal.
The /expectation/ of viewers and sharers of the content is that it is immutable. I think the argument is that the /expectation/ will need to shift unless proactive steps are taken to make certain guarantees about the nature of shared content.

Types are incomplete documentation. They may or may not be sufficient depending on the context.

There are some really great things about types as documentation, though:

1) It's machine-checked, so it's probably not out of date or mistaken, which can be worse than no documentation.

2) The interaction with my code is checked, so if I misunderstood the compiler often has my back.

3) With inference, I can often ask for docs for code I just wrote.

None of this is to say that there aren't usually other forms of documentation that should be produced.
I've had to adopt the "couldn't care less" approach when someone directs what I feel to be an unsubstantiated claim in my direction.

Of course when the moment has passed, I'll mull over it if the person is usually friendly and then work through the claim like a detached third party to figure out how I should really feel/think about or act on what they said.

It's the only approach that has successfully worked to keep my feelings from obliterating my psyche for the rest of the day/week if a confrontation like that does happen.

I keep them insulated and examine them later.
