I'm not Italian... and am not meeting any productivity threshold.

But my work is incremental, and I obviously don't want to repeat what I said in a different paper, so I cite earlier work in later work. TBH, I don't think it's possible to avoid self-citation unless:

1. Your research is so popular that by the time you need to cite it, it's been surveyed, or improved upon, or otherwise adapted.
2. You switch research subjects relatively often.
3. You publish "blocks" of work, each based on fundamentals in your field established by others - and they're not incremental.

I did two startups in the nineties. There was little or no information out there and the Internet quite frankly was a brand new world. Or so we thought at the time ;<).

Now there's too much information out there. Lots of it is total malarkey to be polite. If I had the choice I'd much rather have too much information than no information. I honestly believe that I would have made fewer mistakes.
My original comment was actually asking the question: what value to the user does acquiring karma provide?

You begged the question by saying that acquiring karma must provide value because people are acquiring karma. That's the assuming the truth of the conclusion.

I'm not strongly making the claim that acquiring karma is harmful but I'll re-iterate my original question: what is the value of acquiring karma for either the person doing it or the audience? My unsubstantiated feeling is that provides no value but I'd be interested in hearing a counter-argument.
I get that and that's why I use it. But the 95% !g rate makes it a cargo cult exercise. DDG is our best option, but it's not even close to what it needs to be and that's probably because it's copying the biz model of the big guys but can't do well because of the restrictions that make it attractive as an idol. I suspect that if anything ever delivers on an open promise of web search it will operate very differently and may not show up in the next 5-10 years.
Your friends are probably very garrulous. :)

Around 1/3 of returns are business returns. I don't think the IRS has anywhere near enough information to auto-file those. Anyone who has charitable contributions (and frankly, probably anyone who is itemizing deductions) also likely has return information which the IRS does not have access to. Anyone who is amortizing discount points on real estate or has stock trades from stocks purchased prior to Jan 1, 2011 is in a situation where the IRS can't auto-file for them. In 2017 (last year of returns before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act rules changes which will reduce the number of those itemizing), about 30% of personal returns itemized.

I do suspect that a lot of "extremely simple" returns could have a pro-forma return auto-prepared by the IRS (and I'd support the IRS trying to permit that, in part because "f*%k Intuit").
> You're seriously trying to argue that people who commit copyright infringement do so maliciously, i.e. with the intent of harming the copyright holder? That seems... novel. And not very plausible. If true, however, it would be much more effective to ignore the work altogether, thus denying the copyright holder both direct income and free publicity.

Your incredulity seems intellectually dishonest.

If not malicious, how would you describe enjoying a {book, movie, song, program, ...} that someone has offered for sale without paying for it?

Granted, it's not as clear cut as theft. You aren't depriving anyone of an item that they own.

Granted, the author may in some cases benefit indirectly from copyright infringement, e.g., when you go tell your more honest friends about it, and they go off and buy a copy for themselves.

But in a world where the vast majority of the folks who create these kinds of works need to get paid, and the way they get paid is by selling copies, consuming their work without paying for it seems really fundamentally unfair to them.
This generalises to an interesting question: What is the true utility value of any service?

Is it:

- Increased capabilities gained?

- Risks avoided?

- Alternative opportunities enabled (I babysit your kids, you get a night on the town)?

- Enablement of specialisation, expertise, and concentrated and efficient use of capital?

- Other?

Probably some combination of these.
That's true, but Microsoft is supposedly making a push into Linux and by leaving it out you're cutting off a huge chunk of OSS enthusiasts.
It's been a while. Time was this was an excellent way to learn, but now everything is minified and obscure and outputted by compilers to make CSS and Javascript out of things that aren't, and all of the idiomatic ways of working with things (replete with limitations) have been replaced with abstracted ways of working with this (ostensibly with fewer limitations).

It's clear to me that this is a shit sandwich, and what we should really do is start replacing HTML/CSS/JS with a new app development mechanism that embraces the significantly refined requirements we have now over our 1990s predecessors.

Ideally the end result is as easy to build and take apart as the old web used to be.

Same with npm at least with git.
Do you mean to say there are 9 choose 4 == 126 possible combinations for a 3x3 pattern? I think this would only be true if you could use a maximum of four dots in the pattern, which isn't the case.

Although calculating it this way will double-count some patterns which include long lines, I would say that there ar far closer to 9! == 362880 passwords. Even if long lines cut that space in half, 150000 more than meets your minimum of 15^4.
What makes CA and NYC politics better? A place where you struggle to house and educate your family on a six figure salary seems to be sorely lacking.

To me it seems like we are doing terrible where it matters;
- cost of living is terrible due to unwise regulation (housing, taxes for ineffective measures etc)
- the vast amount of poor that live on our streets do not tell anything good about our safety net
- peoples capability to engage with people of different opinions is dystopic, leading to social isolation
- the education system has in the last 40 years gone from one of the best to one of the worst
It just doesn't let me do things with changes in the working copy sometimes where git does. It's really annoying.

At least in the case of NPM (I don't know as much about the other ones): Doesn't that create a huge opportunity for hijacking attacks, where someone publishes a malicious NPM package in the default NPM registry under the scope identical to a Github organization/username?
Supermarkets are not marketplaces. Amazon is. This is well thought out and it’s a very clear distinction.

If Wal-Mart started allowing anyone to set up shop and sell there, it would be a more apt comparison.

Apple and Google will have to spin out divisions that sell apps on their app stores. They can still partner under this plan, but must be independent entities. What’s the problem there?
It's the most common kneejerk reaction to employees that complain that the open office is too noisy - that loud conversations in the room or, hell, right over your shoulder are distracting you from focusing properly on your work.

Instead of investigating the social fixes to the problem (asking people to take phone calls in private rooms, having arguments/meetings in private rooms, enabling sidetone in noise-cancelling headphones so people don't scream into conference calls), the proposed answer is a Simple Little Widget(tm) they can buy that will fix everything: the white noise generator.

Except now you have a layer of white noise on top of all the loud conversations. And white noise doesn't mask human speech at all unless it's louder than the speech itself. So nothing is fixed.

That's a strawman. The answer you were looking for is, "I don't know". I don't know either.
I'm a huge Django fan so Rails has always felt too magical for my taste. Few projects feel more rewarding than writing a Django website, imho.
That's also correct. Further, if a married couple (or other joint owner/tenant) let someone stay with them, they can each gift the annual gift amount to the free "tenant".
The reach for hyperbole isn't really warranted.

At the moment the IRS brings in $5.2 for every $1 spent, that's $3.2 of extra revenue per $1. But their budget is being cut.

We don't need to reach to see that wherever the line is where we break even, we're not there yet.
May I ask why you suggest multiple test from different labs?
Insurance companies are incentivized to not pay anything.

They currently demand that patients do not even go to a hospital, hence the price penalties for going to an ER and lack of preventative care coverage. The only thing an insurance company will demand is what they currently do - the lowest cost, which is an Rx for pain pills.
Exactly what am I projecting? Tell me.

You've taken the presented scenario and added things to try and bolster a point.

Even now, you're trying to talk out of the side of your mouth to make it seem as if every "request" by you is actually an opportunity in disguise for the person you are assigning tasks to.

Look man, sometimes, tasks just need to be done. And that's fine. You aren't fooling anyone by saying you're "giving them an opportunity to explore disposal management techniques in an office environment".
Well, maybe they finally figured out that your physical body doesn't have to die with your mental form being punched in virtual reality, and that the _REVERSE_ is also true. If Smith can proliferate in the matrix with a mind of its own, no reason a human can't. The biggest problem might have been that ... the actors aged.
Yes of course. Blackholing is step 2.
Unless the human hormone levels magically switch, it will not change. It may reveal more details on how the physiology works, but it will not change the base arrangement of the things.
The question of what is moral is subjective. I listen to what some people have to say on topics of morality, but I generally ignore those who clearly use deceptive language or tactics. That category includes both the Westborough Baptist Church and the FSF.

Matrix off topic for HN? Ok I agree it’s a movie, but we’re talking about “The Matrix” here and not titanic, avengers or any other movie. Some of us don’t visit entertainment/gossip sites or watch TV, so having one post informing us about a new matrix movie is not off topic (especially with the crap posts we regularly read).
These strange claims with no evidence. Working from home has to fight existing inertia, you couldn't WFH prior to the internet age, so no one did. Now it's possible and suddenly not everyone is cut out for it.

Not everyone is cut out for a 9 to 5, not everyone is a morning person, not everyone likes sitting in a chair all day. But they deal with it, because it's their job. The same will be 100% true for WFH, cut out for it or not, they'll adapt and make it work.
Ah I see what you are getting at, you'd use the drop ports to pump fuel out. That works as long as they are not buried too deep, and no gas station owner would let you submerge a pump to push up.

A typical station has anywhere from 50K to 1M liters of underground capacity so that should be enough for a bit, if their own pumps aren't running then they will likely be happy to be able to sell some of it.
Sure. I enjoyed even more when I discovered that the parallel adder, an important part of every CPU, also patented by IBM around 1960 was developed and implemented using the mechanical parts by Charles Babbage at least 120 year before (around 1840) and everybody can enjoy its 3D animated reconstruction today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2EDE8Srdcw

So even the discoveries from 1840 still hold: without the parallel carry circuitry, an adder is simply too slow. Babbage was proud of his implementation, but not many were able to understand then what was that about.

I wouldn't be surprised that Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, also already thought about the subroutines in 19th century, when considering the programs for the Babbage's machine.
As someone who now works in astronomy, I'm not at all surprised at the high self-citation rate for the field. It is true that a lot of papers are published by large consortiums. For example, at LSST (where I work), if you have been working on the project for 2 years, you are considered a "builder" and added as an author to all major project wide papers.

Those papers, which tend to be long and full of great stuff, are cited a lot, and have hundreds of authors.

I wonder how many of these papers are where the first author has cited other papers where they are the first author. (Or really, at least the first few authors) It seems like for the data shown, it is just if anyone in the author list is anywhere in the author list of the citation?

Also for some research niches, you may be one of the few people writing papers on a subject. There's no one else to cite.

I do think there's some very valid points about bringing the person up to speed on previous research that brought them to the current paper. But I don't think those citations should really count as a citation in terms of metrics for how successful a scientist is.

To be honest, I find all the metric gaming about number of papers and citations to be ridiculous. I don't hear many people saying they want to write the best paper in their field, or something new. It all seems to be a numbers game these days. Academic career growth hacking, if you will.
The battery thing was supposed to be something else in the beginning.

They wanted to go for the idea that machines were harvesting our conciousnesses as a collective VM to run the matrix on, but thought the idea was to complex for the audience to understand so they went for the battery instead.

Ironically, the VM thing makes way more sense than the battery one.

" IRS audited 6.66% of returns from filers with more than $10 million in adjusted gross income in fiscal year 2018, down from 14.52% in 2017 and even further down from 29.3% in 2011"

Wow, they used to audit 1/3rd of all filers in $10 mil/year bracket? I guess at that level, there aren't too many people with W2 form.
I interviewed at a place with open offices and their ventilation system was so loud that it made it hard to hear myself think.

Everybody seemed to like me except the PM who was either a little Kruger Dunning or straight up Peter Principle. He wanted very much for me to know how smart he (thought he) was. Pessimism != smart (something I have to remind myself of regularly). In an interview I'm supposed to be convincing you how smart I am, not comparing dick sizes.

I have no doubts that particular brand of insecurity that looks an awful lot like ageism cost me that job. But dealing with a boss who is uncomfortable around anyone who has more experience than them, especially with that tin roof of an office space would have been torture. Bad fit all around.

But it's rare that I find a place whose business model is terribly engaging. The hazard of experience is that a lot of problems start to look similar, a lot of verticals sound more meaningful than they really are, and you won't devote the rest of your life to making up for how you got the money in the first place. If you even get the money (I've skipped step 1 and gone onto step 2), which statistically you will not.
Also you can have small remote social gatherings. Have a lunch together from time to time (video, online) and chat about non-work things. Have an unlisted #team-offtopic channel. Things like that work in my experience if they're just available and not forced.
> rms wants people to live in 2019 but with free software.

In order for that to work, society as we know it would need to be structured completely different. Who is going to build all this free software? How will they get paid?

And before you mumble on about "you can get paid for free software", show me how it is done on the scale required to build a netflix or a facebook. Who will build a device as elegant as an iphone with free software? How will it get funded.

Again, for it to work, you'd have to restructure the whole world from the ground up. That ain't gonna happen. I'm not even sure it would be desirable....
There's some healthy doubt to be cast on concepts like "Chronic Lyme." Consider, for one example, the data here: https://lymescience.org/washington/

In this thread a poster claims that multiple doctors couldn't save them until a "doctor" with "natural remedies" put them on a fast.

Now, I support skepticism all around; it is very healthy to get second and third opinions when you know your body doesn't feel right. But it's also extremely important to trust actual expertise over self-diagnosis, Facebook groups, and so-called medicinal practitioners who hawk herbs and starving oneself as panacea.

In case anyone is interested, I'm developing a Python/Tensorflow-based open source project, vak, that annotates birdsong, similar to what Deepsqueak does:
https://github.com/NickleDave/vak

(DeepSqueak runs in Matlab.)

We've also developed a neural net architecture which we find gives low error across individuals and is much more lightweight than Faster-RCNN, the net that Deepsqueak uses under the hood:
https://github.com/yardencsGitHub/tweetynet/

I've tried to make it so that any net (even Faster-RCNN) can be used with vak and I've built tools so it works with multiple audio and annotation formats (https://github.com/NickleDave/crowsetta).

We're finally about to submit a paper on this, thought I'd share here now case anyone is interested in contributing to the library in the future.

(edit for clarity)
I believe you can switch your yum (or dnf) repository to point to a Red Hat source, then use yum to reinstall all your packages from the RHEL equivalent. There's a couple tutorials out there for it, and once finished your system will look indistinguishable from the RHEL version.

Of course, if you are running your systems using modern devops design principles, then you can redeploy your infrastructure based on RHEL repositories instead of CentOS.

Cache locality is kind of the whole point of it. Some algorithms benefit hugely if you choose a specific layout.

Other algorithms do some kind of random access to a few fields only and they don't benefit at all. Those algorithms can make up 90% of your code but only account for 10% of the computation. Therefore it would be easier to have your data look like a AoS in 90% of your code but actually be stored as a SoA to gain the speed in 90% of the computation.

That doesn't seem to be a fair argument, you can also do that with rational numbers: if I give you an infinite sequence that is exactly 1/3, can you in finite time say it actually is?

If you choose to represent numbers as infinite streams of digits, then obviously you can't compare them for equality in a finite amount of time.

The issue is: is it possible to use real numbers in a way that sidesteps this problem? In general, it's impossible -- most real numbers are uncomputable! -- but for some useful subsets (beyond the rational numbers) it's possible.
I dont understand the reality of this either. So how does 'google search' pay the infrastructure costs? Do they open search to allow other SSPs to bid? but 'google search' would still have to take a % of the price. what about youtube and DCM?
