I, personally, would either want to pay per article or for a single subscription service to a news organization. If given the choice between having 3 or more accounts+subscriptions (let alone 20) to juggle, and not consuming news at all, I would choose the latter, and I suspect that many Americans would, too.

For the record, Blendle[1] tried the pay-per-article model a few years ago, and was unsuccessful. Not sure if they executed it poorly or the model itself is unsustainable, though.

Another commenter pointed to this: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market...

tl;dr: Even the worst market timer would do well to just hold on to stock.
Again... even that is still pretty serious condemnation. If you can "deep dive" that many fields to the point that you're fooling the gatekeepers, a "deep dive" must not actually be all that "deep".

I mean, we can try to puff up Sokal as some kind of massive genius who got to publication-quality skill levels in multiple fields in less than a year, but... in that case, why shouldn't I accept his take on the results, since he's apparently that much of a genius?

There just isn't a way around it. If it's that easy to get to "publishable", it isn't worth being an academic discipline.

Compare someone in one of those fields trying to publish a particle physics paper by just imitating what they think are the important characteristics.
Just want to say, this guide has one massive advantage that's usually missing: multiple monads.

Far too many tutorials I've seen in the past will pick only one to use as an example, then act as though that specific monad's functionality applies to monads in general, which just confuses the issue.
It won't go away, but censorship will probably reduce the incidence to violence.
Nothing in economics is super easy to ELI5, but the short answer is since the market always trends upward, longer term investments should always return more in interest. If longer term investments are giving lower interest rates than short term investments, that is an indicator that investors believe the market will decline.

Longer answer:

The yield curve shows the interest rate you can expect for a certain timeframe of investment. For example, if you buy a 1 year bond, you can expect a 2% return. If you buy a 5 year bond, you can expect a 5% return. If you buy a 10 year bond, you can expect a 7% return. Since you won't be getting your money back for 10 years, you get more interest.

Longer term investments are generally considered more stable, since the markets always trend upwards over time. But if investors do not feel comfortable in the stability of the market long term, the yield rates go down.

So if I have a 1 year bond at 1% interest, a 2 year bond at 0.7% interest, a 5 year bond at 0.5% interest, and a 10 year bond at 5% interest, that indicates investors are expecting the market to decline in the next two years. The market will recover within 10 years, but it will go down in the short run. Remember the market always trends upward, so if longer term investments are worth less than short term investments, it's a predictor that the market is expected to decline.
Yes.

Female is 3.6% according to article I linked above, so some may consider male "nearly all".

White is 57% according to the statistics link I posted above, so white is inaccurate even with "nearly all".

Thus, "nearly all" "male and white" would be wrong and misleading.

The more important question would be, does either of those help identify potential risks? So you should turn the statistics around:

What percentage of males become mass shooters? (0%)

What percentage of whites become mass shooters? (0%)

So, yes, males and whites "tend not to go on murder rampages".

Not particularly helpful.

Of course, the same can probably also be said about their other "things in common", but maybe we can identify something that will help.
Do you have any source for that? If anything, Amazon’s warehouse work is known for relatively high wages compared to other warehousing work.
sad...another center of free speech stifled...
I guess I don't understand how OpenTrons will make a big difference. The pipetting robots we have around my company are the "expensive" ones by Hamilton and other traditional makers. I think those machines cost $40k, which is definitely more expensive than OpenTrons, but they're hardly a limiting cost compared to generating samples and the disposables for whatever assay you're automating.

Also, we have a department whose job is to run high-throughput assays, and they spend a lot of time and money validating an assay before they run the real samples through.
"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the deaths of others your right to say it."

How many free speech absolutists have "skin in the game", or whatever? Every alternative to censorship suggested always puts the burden on the victimized. Like, "if you debate it in public you will defeat these bad ideas". Few who are free speech absolutists roll up their sleeves and volunteer to take the action they prescribe.

Or, you have the sophists who believe free speech is the most important thing in the world but will deny that speech has any connection to its consequences. For example, separating the white nationalist rhetoric on 8chan from the white nationalist terrorism perpetrated by 8channers.
People are not fringe will tend to abandon sites that embrace people who are, even tacitly. Sites that create havens for them will naturally tend to become sites that consist almost solely of them.
That's what they say, but it rarely works out that way for me. And yes, it's probably because I always block all tracking, and use VPNs and/or Tor.
> Fold clothes and distribute them to the appropriate closets/dressers when the machine finishes...

Hanging a garment on a hanger is easier than folding it. Small clothes can be thrown into a "CLEAN"-labeled basket or bag. The laundry-person need not be responsible for restocking everyone else's wardrobes. You are inventing requirements for the task that are non-essential.

Essential laziness is rearranging your life such that the most labor-intensive parts of a task are unnecessary. The only thing that prevents the 3-pile method of wardrobe management (clean, dirty, and worn-but-smells-okay) is social pressure. And if you stop caring so much about what other people think of your lifestyle, but still care a little bit, you can replace the dresser with some postal-style plastic tote bins on a wire shelf: socks, underwear, jersey shorts, tee shirts. All your going-out clothes can go on hangers. No more folding.

A decent meal need not be haute cuisine. If you break your kids (or yourself, for that matter) of the "different foods can't touch" thing, you can make a lot of good stuff in a programmable pressure cooker/slow cooker. That's a single pot that doesn't exactly wash itself, but it is halfway to an autoclave already. Put plain water in it, select high pressure cook, and hit the start button. Pot sterilized. Add ingredients; beep beep boop, start. Dinner is done.

And maybe your dishwasher needs an upgrade. We put pots, pans, and knives in it all the time. The cast iron doesn't go in there, but that is all seasoned such that it just gets rinsed out and re-oiled, and is then clean.

Stop valuing things for the extra effort put into them, and start seeing human-required labor as an evil that should be destroyed. If you're doing 60 hours/week of housework, you aren't spending 1 hour/week thinking about whether all that "work" actually needs doing, or not.
Hi Kichik :)
They probably assume that the vast majority of the population are not massive pedants and will do what they expect.
Exactly, with similarity being a second important thing. For example, maybe you’re lucky enough to have three ISPs to choose from, but they’re all big American companies with nearly identical corporate cultures, and odds are good that if one of them kicks you off, the others will too.

Hosting a site, on the other hand, has a multitude of very different providers to choose from. Even if you manage to get banned from every hosting provider in the US, ship a server to a colo in Kyrgyzstan or whatever, and keep right on going.
The whole first part of your post, though, still doesn't affect someone who owns actual currency, e.g. money in a bank account, as opposed to assets (e.g. shares in a Chinese exporter), which is what I was responding to. If that Chinese TV exporter ends up doing great because of devaluation, that doesn't benefit you if you just have actual yuan.
Saying it "impedes bots" is a little generous; it impedes humans as well. Or rather: it works on a spectrum where bots are at one end (fully obstructed), easily tracked humans at the other (free entry), and humans who disable tracking devices and/or eschew Google services somewhere in the middle (allowed to pass after much hassle).
Facebook actually makes an effort to curb people calling for and celebrating mass shootings.
Third. Though the content discovery should improve. It's a bit overwhelming at the moment.
Sure, they can, but putting a small delay forces an arms race on how big a cluster you need to operate those parallel bots and how cheaply you can offer a cracking service.
The problem with PrivacyPass is that it is a (not nearly as peer-reviewed as Tor) privacy-related cryptosystem that lets you bypass the reCAPTCHA that CloudFlare put in your way in the first place.

Using it with Tor is almost certainly not a good idea because it changes your own behavior from other Tor users thus compromising your anonymity (and the Tor folks are not in favour of PrivacyPass, because they think the solution is that CloudFlare shouldn't be putting the reCAPTCHA in the way in the first place). And that's assuming that the cryptography is actually solid and there is no way to distinguish between different PrivacyPass users. Tor has decades worth of research put into it -- what level of scrutiny does PrivacyPass have? How many people actually use it and how many have tried to break it?
All while taking on massive governmental debt.

Pretty odd definition of "entirely fallacious".
Similar to the fallacy fallacy:

The fallacy fallacy is a logical fallacy which occurs when someone assumes that if an argument contains a logical fallacy, then its conclusion must necessarily be wrong.

The fact that lisp syntax introduces no extra characters and no extra noise is my point; I'm glad we agree.
I think you're wrong and I do have a clue.

Having lived through the 2000 mess, I don't think corporations are that over-valued and that capital isn't chasing complete and utter pipe dreams this time around. This is nothing like 2000, where Raleigh, NC had nearly full occupancy of all office space due to stupid little startups everywhere. Today's startups are VC-funded, but that VC requires a lot more demonstrated value and due diligence. Sure, there's lots of losers, but none of them are systemic risks.

2008 was caused by serious fraud in mortgage bonds coupled with no-doc, low-doc, neg-am mortgages being rated "AAA" inside of a massive housing bubble blown by Bill Clinton and abetted by GWB. Many banks and big investments firms were over-leveraged with risky bonds they didn't understand. There was also CDS all over the place. We don't have that this time around, either.

What are the Black Swans? Student loan debts, maybe. Otherwise, I can't think of much other than the total US Debt if that ever actually becomes a problem. No clue when that will be. Today's market action is just counter moves reacting to China's devaluation. Yawn.
so much cognitive dissonance here I'm not even sure where to start

I don't understand your problem with people doing something tedious, somewhat interesting, that they might actually enjoy, that others might actually enjoy, and attempting to monetize it. Maybe the sponsorship works to make it worthwhile, maybe it doesn't, who cares?

I think Dgraph is not a great choice for this right now, as it seems you're looking to be able to use those different replicas offline too?

We use RAFT to reach consensus on transactions, so the nodes need to be able to communicate with each other.

I'm definitely adding this as a feature request though, I would love to chat with you more about your requirements if you're interested (francesc@dgraph.io).

A lot of these mass shooters (and a number of serial killers) quote social Darwinism nonsense as inspiration. I wonder why that ideological portion is not being dealt with more. I hear social Darwinism ideas fairly frequently in everyday conversations with people, like casual lunch conversations.
All that does is ensure racists and violent people only get to speak in echo chambers.
I was going to post and ask about an estimated release date, little did I know it would be an artificially imposed one. I was sign up number 900 something. What happens if you guys never hit 10k signups? Is it just never going to be released? The github repo has 200 stars but it’s just a few stub files... this looks like a marketing campaign for a fantasy product and now I’m wishing that I’d used a throw away email. Am I missing something? Is the code for this actually available somewhere?
I’m old enough to remember when Howard Stern, as quaint as that seems today, was considered one of the greatest threats to civilization and had to be “de-platformed” before he could successfully destroy society - and the reasoning they used against him was _exactly_ the same as this reasoning: “he, himself (8chan, itself) is not going out and doing horrible things, but he’s encouraging people to go out and do horrible things, so he (it) must be shut down”.
It looks like two weeks ago they added a sticky post telling users to stop making calls to violence: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/cfs3dx... I guess Reddit finally told them to clean up their act.

This sticky was definitely needed. I've seen among other things, a commenter telling people whose family was killed by the Castro regime that their family deserved to be killed, and others calling for the summary killing of anyone in the top 1% of income.

Look at some of the highest upvoted posts of the year: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/9lhjar...

Lots of deleted comments. Several root level comments with hundreds of upvotes. LSC cleaning up it's act is pretty recent.
Those companies are not hypothetical at all though.
> I really hope this means that Facebook and all those stats/ads providers can be held responsible if they don't take adequate measures to ensure that only data from users who have given valid consent is sent.

Yes, it does mean that, and on top of it authorities can also go after each web site that has a like button on it
It sounds like you intentionally are making it very hard to distinguish if you are a bot or a human?
The problem I have with all of these regex websites and tools is that they usually only use the regex dialect of whatever language they’re written in. Or at best, a very incomplete list of dialects. Subtle differences between dialects matter a lot. Personally, I would need at least Perl, Python, GNU utils (with and without -E), BSD utils (or whatever comes with macOS, again with and without-E), and vim with the various settings for “magic”. Ideally, they would also be able to convert between all these dialects.

It’s even more favorable than that given the mortgage interest tax deduction.
I don't think robo-investors do that. They rebalance your portfolio (and that too not very often), and buy more of the cheaper stuff, so more in line with your GP than your parent comment.

Yep it is simply a numbers game for recruiters. I've always wondered what their percentages are. They have to be extremely low.
Oh definitely — that is a must! But it doesn’t do you any good if e.g. you want to turn read symbols into shell commands. You can play some games with :invert, but at the end of the day it’s a hack.

I don’t blame them for upcasing back in the 90s, but … it’s not the 90s anymore.
In Washington state non-competes are ubiquitous, and hair-stylists and estheticians have been sued over them.

That person that waxes people's legs? Works 36 hours a week so the company doesn't have to call them "full-time" and signs a non-compete that says they can't leave and work for someone else for a year within a 10 mile radius of any location of the prior company, which usually means they can't work anywhere within 50 miles of where they live.

It's criminal how these things are used and they should be banned outright.
Do you have plans (even if only a few words of an idea) to do anything beyond this?

I imagine this market is pretty small, sure YC funds a bunch of startups every year but it seems like your business is almost entirely dependent on the Bay Area and maybe a handful of other locations around the globe that consistently produce startups that have to rely on compensating employees with equity instead of competitive salary. When the next recession inevitably comes, and VC money potentially dries up, it seems like your company won't fare well without other services to fall back on.

The vast majority of Americans, or people on earth in general, aren't offered equity as compensation (many aren't even offered stock purchase plans and for that matter Pew found that 41 percent of millennials didn’t even have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan).

Not trying to be critical, just genuinely curious if you've thought about it.
Could you explain why? It’s not immediately evident to me...
If people only worked jobs they liked, absolutely critical work nobody likes would never get done.
Oh yea? Howard Stern was encouraging mass murder? Something that isn't, nor has EVER been protected speech?
Your regular reminder that only a government can censor.

The rest of us can decide we really don't want to publish Nazi propaganda.
You could simply say that threat actors that are allowed to post in the open are much more accessible and predictable than ones who do not.
That'd completely be an upside, if the data showed that happened. I don't know that it does. The US has a lower suicide rate than some other developed countries even with guns, and the Americas in general are significantly under Europe in crude rate per capita numbers.
Just because we can get a number, doesn’t mean we have a meaningful answer

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of the languages. For a previous employer I worked on a commercial Windows IDE for ~3 years.

I've been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~3 years, which has taught me a great deal about C, systems and graphics programming on both Win32 and Linux. I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up teaching me to value simplicity much more than I expected.

I can configure and maintain webservers, proxies and load balancers having worked with the web for 10 years.

I have a good understanding of the Linux network stack and APIs at the systems level - I've worked on several custom TCP + UDP protocols in the past.

I love building tools. Sometimes I feel like I was made to build tools. I build all kinds of tools - tools for computers, tools for automotive maintenance, tools for making tools. I've been building a game engine, which I would consider a collection of tools, for years and I still enjoy working on it.

Lastly, and I think this is interrelated with the tools thing, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the chip and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held".

I enjoy backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing, hiking, biking and beer! I live in a small town called Nelson in British Columbia, Canada and would strongly prefer to work remotely. I've been working remotely for several years for companies in the SF bay area and love it!

If you think I could be a good fit for your team and would like to chat I can be contacted by email at jesse.hughes.it@gmail.com
Then at least they isolate themselves, and have less ability to radicalize anyone besides the true believers. A number of isolated extremist cells are probably also easier to deal with for law enforcement, and these weird beliefs will stand out more to others in a social setting if they become rare.

Also, it seems like the group egging them on motivates these shooters. Tragically seems related to internet likes. So, by deflating the social network surrounding these ideas, there will be less social motivation to carry out such horrible actions.

And, finally, people have a social concept of truth, and if such ideas are considered to only be fringe crazy ideas instead of consistent with mainstream Darwinian theory, then people will be less likely to believe such ideas are true and less likely to act on them. As it is, social Darwinism seems to be one of those unpleasant truths due to the social weight given to the idea. Such social weight needs to be eradicated.
So what makes them think that they are superior to others and it tips them in conducting mass shootings?

CUDA by itself brings easy-to-run parallel algorithms.
It's not of much value for databases unless you have a proper infrastructure set up to use it correctly. Same is true for columnar aspects, for example.

People have been building columnar databases to do analytics quickly. GPUs (with CUDA) can run analytics operations (think join, group by, math, sorting) on columnar data in a much more efficient manner. They're designed for operations on vectors, which columns are.

We've been doing this ourselves too with SQream DB: https://sqream.com. It's an enterprise data warehouse with GPU acceleration. We use CUDA exclusively too.

Indeed! This was mentioned in David Brin's book "Earth". It discussed tracking mosquitoes with vision or radar or something and using lasers to zap them. The interesting bit was only zapping dangerous types of mosquitoes, based on wing-beating speed of different species. And that book was from 1990 I think.
