I think linking to dgraph may actually support "has nothing to do with". DGraph's query language was inspired by graphql but it also explicitly diverged from it in order to make a more suitable db language.

But sometimes it is true, for example in the sense that data alone does not tell much about what is being measured and its significance.

For example high levels of cholesterol are negatively correlated to heart infarction, mostly because the population at highest risk is under medication and has so extremely low cholesterol. In this case the data itself is meaningless as it does not contain its own significance. This does not mean that we can freely discard data we don't like, it is important and useful, just not necessarily intrinsically meaningful.

A good analysis is made so that it is obvious to justify this layer of interpretation.

Will this have any affect? I understand that nobody wants to make cars they can't sell in the state with the largest car market.

However there is nothing to stop California from indexing new car registration fees to some sort of measurement of MPG, pollution, etc. If they tack on HUGE fees to some of the worst offenders, wouldn't it have the same effect?
Fiber companies aren't interested in spending the extra money for conduits and vaults. They just want to get quick cash to feed to their investors.

> Related, isn't it weird that we euphemize slavery as "human trafficking" these days?

It's it so much a euphemism (designed to make it sound better) as avoidance of endless debate over whether things which aren't chattel ownership are really strictly the same thing as “slavery”.
And on that I'd fully agree with him.

My comment also isn't really a comment about rust. It's about a common misconception that the unix/linux kernel somehow talks in "C".

Libc talks in C, most of the other libraries talking for interfacing with the kernel talk in C. The kernel speaks it's own language that has no special relation to C at all.
I'm not talking about rainbow tables or hash tables, I'm talking about straight up bruting with GPUs and hashcat. You seem to be implying that using a salt adds entropy, but the salt is known (plaintext) and it's added in a set way so it doesn't. Sure your choice of algorithm and complexity factor will definitely affect your guess rate and ease of bruting, and yes using a salt prevents the use of precomputed hash tables, but it's not like it's impossible to crack a salted 6-8 character password hashed with bcrypt if you throw enough GPUs at the problem. The only question is if it's cost effective.
Giving birth two million years ago was 'relatively easy'
I dropped out of college about seven years ago, about 24 credit hours shy of getting my IS degree. The classes left were a mix of business classes I don't care for (Accounting) and generals I don't care for (Biology 100? PASS). I haven't had any problems finding great jobs as a software engineer throughout my career, including working at Apple in Cupertino straight out of college.

Recently, a guy in my neighborhood who works at the school I went to tried to talk me into going back and finishing up. He talked to the dean and said they could waive four of the eight classes I had left to do! So now I only have four classes left, all doable online, most of them easy generals like arts and letters...

That sounds pretty tempting and everything, but part of me has also enjoyed achieving success outside of the path that our society more or less mandates as a requirement. I almost want to skip the degree to continue showing that it isn't the paper that matters, but the line of work that you pursue and the effort you put into it.

Am I crazy? Should I just go get the silly degree?
The Graduate Student Behind the Quantum Computation Verification Protocol
To be fair, they're operating in a situation (budget vs. volume of material to collect and share with the world) where it's necessary to minimize the human overhead of this mechanism AND to attempt to reduce their legal exposure -- sure they can get legal help from some of the very best, but mostly out of people's goodwill, they don't have the budget to be defending themselves constantly.

(Disclaimer: former IA employee, but I do not in any way speak for IA.)
No, I think it's a completely fair assessment. In fact, it probably doesn't even go far enough in terms of criticism. These two expats are notorious in the non-expat world for perpetuating unsubstantiated stereotypes and myths about China for the sake of views. They know there's an audience for it and they've adjusted their content accordingly. Somehow, they've managed to convince a vast number of people that they are experts on the subject matter despite all evidence to the contrary. If you listen to what they say you'll end up with a very distorted view of reality.

As the parent commenter said, there are plenty of higher quality Youtubers and vloggers who do a much better job at describing what life is really like for expats living in China. In general, the more reliable and accurate sources are the people who don't make their living from producing clickbait videos.

The Calculoid people have publicly disclosed (https://github.com/calculoidapp/calculoidapp.github.io/wiki/...) they they're using this library for evaluating formulas:

https://silentmatt.com/javascript-expression-evaluator/

Through that library, they support a limited number of functions, which map more closely to the built-in Math object of JavaScript than to Excel.

We (Calcapp) have a custom-written compiler, which our server uses as a library for checking formulas and producing JavaScript code. In 2016, we changed our formula syntax to be largely compatible with what Excel and other spreadsheets use (https://www.calcapp.net/blog/2016/06/02/formula-syntax.html).

We support 281 formula functions, most of them compatible with what spreadsheets offer (https://www.calcapp.net/learn/functions.html). We have around a thousand unit tests verifying that we get the same results as Excel.

Thanks to our extensive function library, importing spreadsheets is often straight-forward (https://www.calcapp.net/blog/2017/06/14/convert.html). (We don't do a good job of supporting table look-ups, though, and we will soon turn our focus towards solving that problem.)

Our function library is released under the MIT license and is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/davidpolberger/formulajs

It is a fork of an existing library (formulajs) and includes a fair number of bug fixes and improvements.

At runtime, apps make use of a dependency graph generated by the compiler to ensure that calculations aren't run needlessly. As far as I'm aware, this is the same technique used by all spreadsheets.

It would be straightforward to analyze a workbook and build a dependency graph to determine inputs and outputs. From there, an app could be generated. The only issue is inferring the user interface -- labels often appear to the left of the input and output cells, and while this could be used as a heuristic, it wouldn't be perfect. I've toyed with the idea of using machine learning to do a better job of inferring a user interface.
I switched to Fi from ATT precisely because international was such a PITA. Fi just "works" as soon as you land and it picks up the towers, which is a huge relief from having to call some robo-operator and pay $30 for some super limited coverage.
That whole blog post was sad, but this quote was particularly dumb:

> Banks like ING will give you your money back

Now, I don't have any experience with having my bank account hacked, but I have had experience with my credit card getting used without my consent, and it's NOT a fun process. I can't even imagine how that'd go with a bank and a checking account. I can only guess that you have to 1. get the right customer rep on the line and 2. wait a good while.
Right. When I was a graduate student, I had the freedom to work on my thesis project whenever I wanted. The only weekly obligation I had was an afternoon meeting with my advisor. That meant I often slept in late, stayed up late. I did my groceries mid-afternoon because I liked that the grocery store was not crowded. Some days I wasn't motivated and did not work. The compromise was that I often worked evenings, sometimes until 11PM, and I did work most weekends as well. I could organize my schedule however I wanted, but no time was "sacred". It didn't feel unhealthy though, it actually felt pretty natural.

Now, I'm a salaried employee, and I feel annoyed if someone expects me to work past 6PM or on weekends. I feel like I need that time to rest and get my mind off of work-related stuff. I probably need that time in part because I'm expected to get to work in the morning, and deliver a largely uninterrupted work day. As a grad student, I worked from home, and if I was working on a difficult problem, I could just take a break and go lie down on my couch for 15 minutes if I needed to. This isn't an option now, and not being able to take breaks when tired or unmotivated feels pretty unnatural.
What I like about young people is their unapologetic way of asking for things whether they deserve it or not.

Sometimes, it's cute. "I'd like a day off" out of no-where. Sometimes, it's ridiculous. "I'd like a day off to go day drinking with my buddies"
Sometimes, it makes me re-think what and why we do things. This is how we move forward. Case in point, "I'd like a day off. I need a mental health day because someone tried to break into my house last night and I'm freaked out"

Mental health days a total luxury, but if you think about it, there are days we need off because we are going to unproductive regardless. It can be abused, but it can also be useful. Context and Manager discretion matters.

Young People aren't going to save us from the office, but they are going to challenge our assumptions and it's our duty to listen and change the office as needed.
Yep. I was also pondering this point. I have always found the whole Hispanic / Latino question in the census confusing. What are people trying to do with this information? Why not call out other ethnic groups?

The history of the Irish is a good example of how ethnic groups change and assimilate over time.
True, but this article is talking about shifting norms and the future of work. Doesn't seem like too crazy of an idea to hope/work for a future where the norm is a set of goals for your week/month and you being allowed to largely set your own schedule as needed to achieve them.
I feel like those responses to your tweets were pretty organic. Are you suggesting they were paid to discredit you?
>However, the same argument could be made for requiring everyone to display their social security number, which would pretty obviously not make through a court challenge.

I really think that's a stretch. I get the similarity, however driving in a vehicle is not the same as walking down the street.

You need to be registered to have a vehicle, you need to have a drivers license, you need to have insurance. There is nothing you need while walking down the street, except clothes in most places. So there is no good argument for forcing identification.

As I took one step further for someone else, is the next argument going to be you don't have to publicly identify your aircraft when flying? Are we going to argue it removes privacy that an aircraft must identify itself with the FAA?

I know you are just starting to toy with this argument. But I think it's easy enough to find so many differences between a person walking down the street and having a vehicle which we regulate for many good reasons.

Interesting topic though, for sure.

It's politically sensitive. The lack of explanation was no doubt entirely intentional, so asking can be interpreted as a social faux pas.
Except that I just bought a XS last year, because that camera was supposed be such a big improvement (and it was). Gruber is of the opinion that the 11 has two big things going for it: battery and camera. I might not care much about extra battery life, but I do care about the camera. Not to the tune of another $500 for the upgrade, though. That's okay, the leather case on the XS is just now starting to look worn in.

Power corrupts all methods. Power needs (informal) hierarchy, hierarchy needs communication and coordination limitations.
In agile, the customer, usually a arcane diety, shrouded away by requirement engineers and the management, is actually part of the team, and lets face it, the ultimate subversion to all management power. If you can convince the customer representive, that this or that feature is the most important, all the management talk is in the icebox.
Which can bring out all the ugly parts in agile. No longterm thinking, just shorterm fast movement, with architectue problems later in the game.
So management even has a reason, to persist on "communication" channels.
Which is - when agile comes to die in long meetings, made filled with warped perception bubbles.

Use Contract First Design and try something wild - a approach that allows your paradigm to pulse between nearly agile and "waterfally" repair-cycles to the damage done to the longterm goals. And be aware that there might be diverging interests- of which none are evil.

Probably not; if I'm remembering right, the fraudulent purchase was at a gas station.
No, several auto makers actually did not want Trump to cut the federal emissions standards, and 4 manufacturers (VW, BMW, Honda, and Ford) made an agreement with California to meet higher standards than what Trump wanted.

Reason being that they're developing more efficient powertrains for global markets, so going backwards from that just for the US would cause them either to waste money developing different models for the US, or lose market share to companies not attempting to be more fuel efficient.

The Trump DOJ then sued those automakers for antitrust violations for making an agreement with California to meet stricter emissions/fuel economy standards.
The only issue I have had with vaccines, I have three daughters, all vaccinated; but I just don’t like how they cram like six vaccines into a single doctor visit.

My middle daughter got the chicken pox vaccine right before we went on vacation to Chicago.

When we got to Chicago, she got the chicken pox actually from the vaccine. I was there for work and wife and daughter were supposed to be fiddling about the city while I worked during the day building the salesforce office.

Instead, they were holed up in the hotel room with calamine lotion and bath stuff to make Madeline comfortable. Since she had the chicken pox, they were only supposed to stay a week in Chicago with me, but had to stay the whole two weeks I was there as she couldn’t fly with the pox....

So when my youngest was due for all her vaccines, they wanted to give all 6 to her at one time.

And as the kids feel really lethargic and crappy for several days after, I made the doctor split the vaccines into only two at a time and made three different visits over two weeks instead of six vaccines in one visit and it was a much better experience for Coraline.

My mother's younger brother announced his alzheimer's had truly manifest, by freaking when, perfectly in character, my mother didn't need his calls. We had the proverbial phone in the shower/bath. Although it wasn't nece(till too late) for me to be present, I moved my office complete with redundant paths to go diverse exchange private copper pairs, to the apartment my mom wanted to be in and not sell, for a view is immune to the seasons, I later realized, and our telecom and related facilities were hilariously overkill.

Anyhow alarm was unnecessarily raised and the British "elf an saiyftie" was still a dust cloud unsettled when a man appeared at the door asking innumerable questions about my mother. The social worker I greeted defrauded abused and all but killed my mother while protected from justice by countless departments of the bloated British government. With warrantless surveillance OPEN to social workers in the UK, I have lost business deals, sens startup with branding I habitually photographed from my wall/whiteboard, down to the da## pantone.

Interstate commerce yes, but going by the perspective of the original unmutilated Commerce Clause what California is doing involves only intrastate markets and thus should be untouchable.

This is one of the funniest things about this whole mess, California's "exemption" is much more legal than the EPA ever was (along with pretty much every other regulatory 3 letter agency).

I feel like iOS development is especially lenient for degree requirements. Barely anyone learns Swift or dabbles with iOS while in school. I know that some places do offer specific iOS classes (e.g. Stanford), and some students will end up doing iOS internships, but the vast majority of students don't.

Update: after dropping vote counts, I'm now seeing words "win" in a tribe with a comically small percentage of the vote. Don't really see the reason to keep voting when "relax" wins in the red tribe with only 17 votes out of 600+ tribe members. Compare that to "kindness" in the yellow tribe which won with 449 votes out of ~1000 when vote counts were enabled.

Job 'requirements' are there to get rid of people like you.

If you're not confident in your fundamentals then you won't apply because you can't tick all the boxes.

If you ARE confident in your fundamentals then you'll apply and probably get the job and the posted 'requirements' won't even factor into it.

Knowing that is the difference between 150 applications, and just 1.
That's not the only thing ratemyprofessor is useful for. Everyone has different learning styles.

You’ve offered a very general critique. In contrast, the video I linked mentions many specific events and incidents which informed the speaker’s impression of China. Give that you’re making vague assertions on a throwaway account, and given that I’ve followed these YouTubers for years and corroborated the kinds of things they’ve said with friends who visit China or are Chinese, I’m not inclined to agree with you.

If you believe there are “higher-quality” China YouTubers with a different view, don’t just allude to them, please share links.
