The core of the issue is usually the team culture, mindset, and expectations. If things are as chaotic as you say, then you need to identify what is the cause of the chaos. Some possible scenarios:

1. Ignorant leadership has led to a culture of not respecting software engineering best practices.

2. Engineering team is ignorant of software engineering best practices.

3. Team understands best practices but culture is such that there is no time/incentive to implement them. This could be due to people being overworked and as result, prioritizing for delivery and only being able to focus on things other than fixing tech debt. It could also be due to the fact that bonuses are given to those that are implementing new features into the product, therefore creating environment that values delivery over proper software engineering.

You need to figure out what the reason is for your team's tech debt chaos and only then will you be able to fix the problems. There are also degrees of tech debt that you need to consider (architectural-level tech debt vs unit-level tech debt) that will play into what things you can do to rectify the issues and prevent them in the future.
The huge difference is that active compounds in LSD/Shrooms are anti addictive - the more you use it, the lower the effect every time.

So while you can smoke weed every day and get the effect, you cannot do that with LSD or Shrooms. And you don't inhale smoke.
Yes, the existence of an upper bound on transistor count follows easily from the atomic nature of matter. The Wikipedia article on Moore's law lists multiple disparate "enabling factors" which do not seem to have much to do with one another. The conjunction of which comprise an explanation of sorts, but I'm wondering whether there's a simple observation or fact that ties them all together, apart from my Sociological theory.
maybe so, but that’s not his argument.

his argument is that it’s so new that people don’t grok it yet. (which of course is wrong)
Centenarians have been shown to have increased healthspans. They still get the same diseases as everyone else, however they get them much later in life (90s, 100s). That's all I'd want. If we can get medical science to a point where healthily living to 100 is common, then that's a win for everyone and it'll save us a ton of money. The problem is, like you said, that it's unlikely to be some miracle drug; it's going to be small routines and habits throughout your life that will require willpower and discipline, so that'll exclude a lot of people unless we restructure society in a fundamentally different way.
Well, I suppose the literature around the liquidity premium relates to this topic. But liquidity is fairly simple (and drives the market cycle): liquidity is worthless in booms, and very valuable in busts.

But something to note here too: most measures of historical returns do not look at liquidity either. I am in the UK, and I know there is research (I can't find it atm) showing that before 1970s, trading costs were significant. Historical returns rarely reflect that. Nor do they reflect the fact that most people before 1970 probably couldn't own any asset other than govt bonds (or that most banks were forced to own them too).

So I would say the issues with indexes are two-fold. First, they will fail if they are built on illiquid securities (recent example here is also Neil Woodford's implosion). Second, they are often predicated on historical returns that are, in any non-academic/practical sense, fictional.

Another reply is Horizon Kinetics...apart from GMO, they are the only investment manager whose letters I actually read. And on ETFs, they have written a lot.
Not taking a position for or against WeWork but I'm not sure that they are particularly flashy, especially when it comes down to the actual office space away from the common areas stocked with beer. What they do offer is some level of consistency and predictability, and there's something to be said about that.

As a side note: The airline analogy isn't correct. Business and Premium Economy products are doing quite well with growth of those two offerings having been quite robust over the last 20 years. I'd say belt tightening did happen, but with respect to first class fares. Easy fix...just rebrand your old first as business!
Oh, of course. I mean, Facebook thrives by NOT keeping anything about its users from third parties.
For that you would just need some sort of Internet connection and some storage, nothing out of reach for the vast majority of people, or am I wrong again?

I had not been aware that an institution could be a land-grant school without being a state school, but that is definitely what the Rutgers "about" page says. Most interesting--and curious to see that it beat out Princeton. "Princeton A&M" does roll off the tongue, doesn't it?
I think what they’re looking for is a way to get more consistent and precise user location data, via the Facebook app. It’s a relative missing piece in their user data suite.
So just straight up ask the person "Have you ever thought about us hooking up?". If they don't want it, they'll just decline, and you can both get over it. Or they'll think you're a creep, and you won't be friends anymore, which is probably for the best seeing as you were harboring secret desires for this person.

Either way, being up-front and honest will have a better result than letting Facebook connect you because you were too scared to broach the subject.
That still doesn't answer the question of the fact there _will_ be different models and how that affects software support.

For example, Chestnut says: "improved power management", will all previous models get that?

In Birch it says "Next run of board", are there changes that change the software in any way?

Evergreen is the "LTS" release, do the others not get "LTS"?

In Q4 2020 there's a new CPU, does that affect drivers or software in any way? Will they provide software updates for all devices for a number of years?

You'd hope opting for Model 1 2019 doesn't punish you but I can't see how they have the resources for testing every single model for every single software release.

It's not a good idea in the long run. Not even Google would do something like that and nor should a smaller company, it's idiotic.

It's correct, but with such a large scope of available options out there, such a giant demand for the tool, it's a behemoth that is slow to change and full of silly mistakes. It's an unfortunate reality and consequence of the world we live in.
That's interesting. I certainly did not make the Reddit post. Since there is interest in proto-GANs, here are two more.

- J. Schmidhuber, Learning Factorial Codes By Predictability Minimization. (1992)

- W. Li, M. Gauci, R. Gross, A Coevolutionary Approach to Learn Animal Behavior Through Controlled Interaction. (2013)

Schmidhuber's work will be widely known (and its relationship with GANs controversial), but
I can't recall where I read about Li et al.
This reminds me of ClusterSSH, although I think I would rather use ClusterSSH since it will tile a bunch of xterms across all of my monitors and let me point to click to address just one if needed. But, still, this is pretty cool.
Well I was talking about 97-99 as far as internet browsing went. I don't really remember the internet before that. I wasn't allowed fuck around too much when we had dialup it cost too much. Yes it really was that slow. That was when I first started downloading music and TV shows. I vividly remember the waiting.

>Irrelevant. The amount of multimedia on a CD was vastly more than the main memory available at the time.

I don't follow. It's not like all available memory is ever used to load things from storage. All I know is, I can copy an 8GB DVD on my current computer with 6GB of RAM faster than I could have copied a 756MB CD with around 500MB of RAM.

I do agree nothing is optimized as well, but that's some hard nostalgia goggles talking there.
I wonder how this fares for Tinder and Bumble. People already use Instagram to 'source' potential mates. Now they can delete one more app off their phone, remember one fewer login.

Type variables are not what you're thinking.

add :: Int -> Int -> Int
add a b = a + b

add2 :: a -> a -> a
add2 c d = c + d

1st function adds integers.
2nd function adds anything that can be added.
For example:
add2 [1,2,3] [4,5,6]
evaluates to [1,2,3,4,5,6]

The 'a' in the second function is a type variable.

>it still doesn't work better than casting lots.

i don't know about that. Using all these tools you listed the companies have been able to "hire the best, the top 1% (or 2%)" while casting the lots they would definitely not be able to do that.
So then civil war is the way it can be corrected?
It's not a jab, it's seeing someone for who they really are. Facebook hasn't suddenly decided to play cupid out of the goodness of their heart, they now have a system to effectively rank their user's social scores based on things like swipes and messages. Most of the Match.com apps do the same, but the scale of facebook puts most of them to shame. The fact is that they aren't offering a new way of dating, just a new way of gathering more valuable data on you. After all, who wants to waste time advertising to someone with no friends or influence when they can promote to the person getting swipes left and right.

You don't need to run a full node. Light clients that don't need to sync everything do exist, and I would guess that they are a more popular way of using cryptocurrencies than full nodes.
Aubrey de Grey has said numerous times that he suspects that if we were able to repair mithochondrial DNA, that has about a 10% chance of being all or most of the anti-aging puzzle, in his estimation. IIRC, he admits this is speculation. Still, he's no slouch in this layperson's book, so his statement gives me the warm fuzzies.
I liken it to an organism. An organism is trying to stay in homeostasis. It's also either growing or decaying, though it mostly appears static.

It's exactly as you say. Many aren't capable of identifying opportunities for optimization. Re: the organism metaphor - an organism can be relatively unhealthy and still survive. Some people are ultra-fit. Most are not. Some people really are quite unhealthy. The bar for survival is fairly low. Project that on to companies you can imagine the ultra fit being those companies whose managers can work together to identify opportunities for all the things they are aiming to optimize for and are able to optimize for more than just staying alive.
> That still doesn't answer the question of the fact there _will_ be different models and how that affects software support.

There will be different revisions, not models. It doesn't affect software support.

> For example, Chestnut says: "improved power management", will all previous models get that?

Yes (unless there's some serious hardware bug fixed in Chestnut, which is unlikely).

> In Birch it says "Next run of board", are there changes that change the software in any way?

No.

> Evergreen is the "LTS" release, do the others not get "LTS"?

You just apt-get upgrade to LTS. It's listed in the milestone because, well, it's not going to arrive before that.

> In Q4 2020 there's a new CPU, does that affect drivers or software in any way?

Unknown at this point, but even if yes, then today with kernel device trees it shouldn't be any issue.

> Will they provide software updates for all devices for a number of years?

This software is made to work on GNU/Linux. You can already run it on other devices, even your laptop. Just look at GTA04 - it's also kept close to mainline and in turn, it's still being supported.

> Not even Google would do something like that and nor should a smaller company

Google does something like that. Apple does as well. There are multiple hardware revisions of single iPhone models, some even include as big changes as different LTE modules.

This and all other discussions of cryptocurrency being useful to the unbanked always fail to address the root of the problem - the unbanked don't have money. Get them steady reliable cash flow first, and bank accounts or other financial services will follow. Not vice versa.

Cryptocurrency won't help solve that root problem for poor people, only for VCs and technologists building themselves new money, exploiting the Cantillon Effect, and casting about for justifications to moon the market price.

To its credit this article came close to discussing this, it actually shows a chart comparing reasons why the unbanked don't have bank accounts. The main reason by far is, no money. But once that's established, then real question becomes - how do you solve that problem using cryptocurrency?

Nobody has an answer for that so they just conveniently skirt around it in these type of discussions.
Agreed. Particularly the 'online/offline' status for users.
It doesn't matter what I believe. It matters how the NRA, those in Congress and the administration who are anti-gun-control will spin those findings.

I strongly doubt such a conclusion would pass by unchallenged. If I had to guess, it would probably lead to letting go at least the head investigators of that study, and at most, replacing the head of the CDC.

A study with a conclusion like that was what lead to the Dickey amendment in the first place.
> I think Facebook's goal is to make it so that you have one persona you show to everyone.

It's the other way around, in my experience, not a "goal" but a reflection of the people who built it. It made them absurdly rich, and all they know how to do is double down on what makes the numbers go up.
Systemic risk. If a ton of smaller companies see their shares plummet all at the same time, there might be repercussions for the economy as a whole. It’s true that individual investors might be able to ride it out (and the same was true in 2008).
My mistake. FMLA does extend unpaid leave to both parents. In my experience, fathers tend not to use it because somebody has to pay the rent. The father I do know who have taken leave did so because their employer offered paid leave as a perk.

Also correct that some states have additional leave requirements. 12 of the 50 have done nothing (only FMLA applies). 14 have lowered the FMLA business size from 50 to something smaller. 7 have adopted more generous maternal leave policies, though most only offer 50% pay over a short period of time.

Only 4 states offer paid paternity leave.

Regardless, the US is the only OECD member that does not require paid maternity leave.
> professional animators

Maybe not for professionals, but for Joe Average sending emoticons from his phone as part of a text message, probably. The needs of a professional animator and your average text-messager are different by orders of magnitude.

He observed that in a fantasy or abstract situation (i.e. cartoon faces, comics, etc.), color != ethnicity, which is an excellent observation which does support his position. You, on the other hand, tried to claim basic emoticons were insufficient because they would prove insufficient for a professional animator.
This is a cool idea, and I'm excited to see what kind of perf wins it produces. It seems like the other solution would be to expose all the details of the SSD to the OS: wear leveling, GC etc, and make that a driver concern. Probably a lot harder to get right, but more debuggable and more opportunities to tune for your specific workload.
It is string comparison, although in terms of performance in JS string constant comparison is done by reference so its much faster.

I believe this is closer to polymorphic variants than to actual sum types (global namespace like strings, comparison by name). You can tighten it a bit by switching to symbols instead of strings, which would guarantee unique tags, getting closer to classic variants. However TypeScript isn't big on nominal types, and for a good reason: the node module system for example can easily cause two versions of a module to be instantiated in the same program which in turn would cause two different and incompatible instances of the symbols and symbol types.

Nevertheless I would still say that FP-like patterns are supported reasonably well.
While I appreciate the overall critique, the author is really misrepresenting what HCD is by referring to it out of context, far beyond what is was originally meant for by its originator, Alan Cooper. As a thought experiment, try replacing 'HCD' with 'computers' in the article, and there is really no difference in how it reads. What this means is that HCD is a tool, and can be used for any purpose, good or bad, by those that wield the power. And by that phrase, I certainly am not referring to the designers, but those who have the capital and call the shots.

To look at it another way, I think the recent Boeing fiasco is a relevant case. It wasn't the engineers who designed the system that were to blame, it was management who corrupted the process towards their own ends. Ethics and the profit motive are difficult to balance, and that goes way beyond a designer's methodology.
I am pretty sre that by "NLP" you actually mean "Natural Language Processing"[0] rather than "Neuro Linguisting Programming"[1] (which is what your site says), but I must admit it would be pretty interesting if I was wrong.

> We initially assume the payoff to the losing team is positive, b > 0, which reflects a ‘compromise worldview’: it is preferable to reach some decision than to end in deadlock. This payoff scheme captures the common practical value of broad consensus in collective decisions, even as individuals pursue partisan preferences12,13. There is ample evidence that large majorities of Americans, for example, adopt a compromise worldview in their attitudes towards political decisions14. However, others adopt a ‘zero-sum worldview’ in which they prefer deadlock to their party losing, that is, b < 0. The behaviour of people with a zero-sum worldview is simple: they act as zealots, meaning that they always vote for their preferred party regardless of the poll that they see. We begin by focusing on players with a compromise worldview, and then we study groups with a mixture of compromise and zero-sum players, including zero-sum bots.

In the context of voters in our modern politics, does the "compromise" viewpoint even exist?
No, it's not?

Point one: Indeed, untold millions of dollars can be saved by improving data center efficiency. But if the processors are in desktops instead, where the price pain isn't actually enough to drive improvements in efficiency, then we as a society just pay a higher power bill... Furthermore, data center power tends to be greener than general purpose city grids.

Point two: they could have as easily said GPUs to avoid the fear of data centre only proprietary lock in... The point is the same: we seem to have hit the point where specialized linear algebra coprocessors make a huge difference.

Which is why I can't for the life of me understand why people value companies like snapchat so highly when they are simply the current fad. Then you see oh they lost $20 Billion since their IPO and you wonder why people with that much money can't see what's clear as day to me. In 5 years, snapchat will be myspace, I'm willing to bet on it.
It's great for Lee, because when her lab discovered in 2006 than 95% of ALS cases and 1/3 of Alzheimer cases have TDP-43 misfolded and mislocated, most other scientists in the field where busy to try to find some mutation to explain most of ALS cases.
She must have been courageous.
In the case of qualia, whilst we cannot make direct measurements, we can make indirect measurements, most especially of behaviour in response to some stimulus or phenomenon.

Though that can also go poorly. Microeconomics is based on the foundation of the qualia of utility, as an example. Which presents numerous problems.
the db doesnt guarantee linearizability (assuming clock skew). even the post says stale counters values can be read.

Doesn't that mean that following use cases are not possible:

1. keeping count of page views
2. vote count per ticket/post
3. like/dislike counts per entity

a reason to use highly scalabale db like Yuga would be to keep such counts.

The DAG, directed graph, or time based DAG question is quite interesting.
It seems to me though that time is so interwoven with causality that it is superfluous to include it. Hence, at a glance, I would argue for normal Directed graphs (allowing cycles) with the implicit understanding that following edges means time increases

Why Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) isn't willing to work with local media and communities? Maybe off topic but genuine question.

We have traditional media that failed to transition to Web. Same stuff in different package, instead of collaborative approach.

And we have social media that fails to deliver the promise of communities. Fails in the transition from virtual to real world.

From my experience, success in Facebook is closed groups. They are the ones with most activity and the ones that achieves real social events.

Both players (traditional media and social media) have what the other one lacks. I'm really scratching my head on why they aren't working together.
