In the excellent book The Science of Life by HG Wells, GP Wells, and Julian Huxley (published in the 1930s) the authors mention that burning carbon would eventually warm the atmosphere. Interestingly, their solution to counteract this was to add mass around the equator. I don’t remember if they said why this might work, though.
> They don't need to classify an ACH as "completed" or "not completed", they only need to place a confidence interval on its completion state, which becomes easier as they process more transfers

They ignore financial regulations to the level of Uber ignoring taxi regulations. The difference between the taxi commission or whatever its name is in San Fran and US Department of Treasury is that the later relies on people with guns and can block customer's ability to do any financial transactions.

The reason why in the standard custodial scheme ACH transactions are fine ( but still are frowned upon ) is because the appreciating asset can be reclaimed from a custodian via courts.

The breathless retelling struck me as unreliable as well, but I can concede that 思う has slightly different meanings based on context— just like any English word with a thesaurus entry or used in idiom.

思う/Omou is interesting because my brain shuffled it into the same spot as the Spanish creer (to believe) and both have a counterpart that is (roughly) more about thought process: kangaeru(JP)/pensar(ES)

The similarity meant 思う actually grounded me instead of sending me into linguistic mysticism like it apparently did to Iyer.
This is a very reasonable value.

> I find Go-lang a reasonable crossover where you could do a lot of FP in it

When people talk about FP, they usually include things like pattern matching and generics, none of which golang has. Not to mention it actively prohibits chaining functions that return errors because of the botched way it decided to handle errors as a product type instead of the correct way as sum type.

golang is a very imperative language with very little going for it.
i think it's a woman leaning over - we're seeing some cleavage there. but... it may just be a rorschach logo...
A language called clay was basically this. With better marketing and follow through it could have taken off. It had templates and move semantics and was interchangeable with C. The author was using it to write parts of a program that was already written in C.
Thanks, didn’t know this was a thing. I’ll check it out.
Selling dollars for 95c is a game anyone can play.
Well, I think in We's case, they are pulling revenue which should be deferred forward, but like the Dotcom companies, you can also grow revenue by selling $2 for $1, which shows up when your losses are growing more/close to your revenue growth.

As you mentioned, net income can easily be massaged, adjusted EBITDA, etc. Cash flow is harder to fake. Airbnb should have decent to good unit economics though.

> most startups leading up to an IPO manipulate their profits into looking great.

What? This isn't true at all.
Hi, author here. I didn't actually mean to suggest that the last 5 years of performance improvement could be spurious. That clearly isn't true. I use resnets/densenets etc in my day to day work!

What the picture was trying to say is that, within a given year, the "winner" becomes less likely to be truly better than the second place team. Alexnet was clearly better than the alternative, even with Bonferroni adjusted significance thresholds. Less so by 2016/17.

I'm writing a follow up on imagenet in particular to address some of the nuance. It is very clearly not a representative example of ML competitions, but the same effects still apply to some extent (imo).
A large fraction of the population lives in growing areas, so the rising cost of real estate in growing areas is an extremely important factor, and on average it's been rising faster than wages for decades.
I`m applying top down ideology because I've never seen a socialized government industry out-compete any private pharma company by coming up with new/innovative medicine.

The reason is because you need to risk lots of money for R&D well beyond "basic research" and historically, governments arent nearly efficient enough to accomplish this.

Private industry/the free market is the perfect way to do this and historically has proven itself over and over again.

Another problem is that FDA approval takes over a decade and many billions of dollars. We need to find a way to improve this, without sacrificing quality.

A couple of good examples of the free market working in the free market is LASIK eye surgery. 20 years ago it was thousands of dollars. Competition brought it down to less than $500.

You don't get this natural competition with the government monopolizing healthcare and price fixing.

We all win with more competition, and government-run healthcare is the exact opposite of this.
> Outright saying that you attract a demographic that you DO NOT WANT TO HIRE FROM is a whole different level of problem.

In fact I am not sure why... I am just reporting the experience. Maybe because of architectural coverage, because while bugs also happen in architecture-independent optimizations, more bugs happen in, say, PowerPC backend.

Edit: Another possibility is difference between how often Rust and Swift update to LLVM trunk. Both have LLVM fork pinned to specific version updated from time to time and I guess the first to update gets all the bugs.

The article cites two sources (Menlo Park Police Department and Facebook) and neither have been quoted to say that the incident was a suicide. I'm not doubting that detail -- just curious to know what the source of this information is.
I disagree heavily with that. Templates, classes, move semantics and destructors make for very tight and elegant programs I have found. No inheritance.

I added an answer in context to the comments on the answer you've linked but didn't add a link from the comments to the answer. Here's that answer:

> (in reply to the comments on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30167732 )

> When an owl:inverseOf production rule is defined, the inverse property triple is inferred by the reasoner either when adding or updating the store, or when selecting from the store. This is a "materialized relation"

> Schema.org - an RDFS vocabulary - defines, for example, https://schema.org/isPartOf as the inverse property of hasPart. If both are specified, it's not necessary to run another graph pattern query to traverse a directed relation in the other direction. (:book1 schema:hasPart ?o), (?o schema:isPartOf :book1), (?s schema:hasPart :chapter2)

> It's certainly possible to use RDFS and OWL to describe schema for and within neo4j property graphs; but there's no reasoner to e.g. infer inverse properties or do schema validation.

> Is there any RDF graph that neo4j cannot store? RDF has datatypes and languages for objects: you'd need to reify properties where datatypes and/or languages are specified (and you'd be re-implementing well-defined semantics)

> Can every neo4j graph be represented with RDF? Yes.

> RDF is a representation for graphs for which there are very many store implementations that are optimized for various use cases like insert and query performance.

> Comparing neo4j to a particular triplestore (with reasoning support) might be a more useful comparison given that all neo4j graphs can be expressed as RDF.

While visiting New Zealand, I heard a type of morning bird that sounded almost like a xylophone. I'm not sure what kind it was. It was the most unique sounding bird I've heard.

I can't imagine what it would have been like to hear a chorus of those birds back when they were far more numerous.
I'm so glad to see this article and the other front page one on Stripe. I see so many stories about "WTF" unicorns like WeWork and Uber, so it's great to see a company that provides real value, creating products that lots of other companies are willing to pay for, and that seems like it has such genuine founders and a great culture.

Completely agreed. Standing next to a bunch of cars and breathing their exhaust is an awful, visceral experience everyone can relate to.
I care. I hate misleading charts like this one.
Very curious about what kind of service has these requirements! Servers in 50 different cities suggest you likely care A LOT about latency. Going bare metal likely means you’re dealing with huge amounts of computation. But tolerating 2-5 mins of downtime on every deploy (until now) means availability isn’t a big deal.

I’ve never seen this combo of requirements on any service before, what is it? Or are my assumptions just wrong about what these things suggest about your business?

Yeah, we can't disprove anything, yadda yadda.

If almost every competition on Kaggle has a winner that is not significantly better than the bulk of the field, then that is proof. Chance correlations leading to you not rejecting the null can only take you so far.
Well, you try to adjust by Purchasing Power Parity. That works well for things where you can directly compare, like the price of an apple. However, it doesn't work so well for other goods and services, e.g. single payer health care vs health care costs in the US, because at best you're comparing apples to oranges.

On top of that, it does not account for things you may need in one nation but not in another. E.g. cars spring to mind. In the US you need a car in most places even the bigger cities, to get to work for example. In a lot of places in the EU you don't.

Eagleview and Nearmap are other companies doing the same thing.
> Walgreens said in a release that 78% of the US population lives within 5 miles of one of its stores

Perhaps, but I imagine a decent chunk of these folks are in places like NYC, which probably won't see drone delivery from retail Walgreens stores. I wonder what percent of the population lives within 5 miles of a suburban Walgreens, which might conceivably be able to offer drone-based delivery.
Something I've long wondered about in Airbnb's communication platform and guarding their earnings: When a host answers a customer and attempts to put a phone number, an email address, a URL, the word "craigslist", or spelling out a number like three six seven..., it gets replaced by "(HIDDEN FOR YOUR PROTECTION)".

The frustration at that point leads one to suspect that it's actually hidden to prevent anything that could lead to transactions outside of the platform, where Airbnb would be unable to take their cut.

If there does turn out to be a means to establish contact, and a rental then happens outside of Airbnb's systems, do the terms of service actually restrict this? It just seems strange to me at the outset. As far as I know Amazon sellers aren't prohibited from also selling off-Amazon, but maybe housing and other industries have some conventions that are comparable?
> "But if consumption capacity was equal in Europe, that consumption would shift to something else, such as food and entertainment."

Yes. But my point is that not all consumption can be considered equal in terms of the wellbeing and quality of life that it provides.

For example, if I was spending $5000 per year on car payments and fuel for my commute to work, that's a lot of 'consumption'. But it isn't something that makes me happy or feel fulfilled.

On the other hand, suppose I live in a city where I can walk, cycle, or ride a tram to work. My quality of life might be equal or better - yet I'm consuming $5000 less.

Could be what they're going for. There's a subset of the free software movement who are actively opposed to politically correct corporate culture.
Regardless of that logo, those north-American organizations would not be running a minimalist Linux distro written by a single guy in the first place, but some sort of Lovecraftian Kubernetes setup involving redundancy everywhere, especially in the software stack.
I still go for a minimal Debian install, or even CentOS. Both still usable because you can add a basic DE if you like, and have something like FireFox if needed.

The lowest income people in the US also qualify for free healthcare through Medicaid. It covers ~20% of the US population (that number also includes those with disabilities).

$16,800 for China and $59,000 for the US. Not by a country mile. Even Hong Kong is in the high 50s. It’s only Macau in with a clear win at $112,000 thanks to the high number of casinos per capita.

It may well overtake in the future but it has yet to.
What is the article referring to when it cites an "increase in climate change" and says that it's been more aggressive than predicted?
Removing fossil fuels won't solve co2 problem. Agriculture, animal husbandry, building heating, industrial power all are major contributers.

It's lazy to think driving Tesla's will cure climate change. Our biggest problem is agriculture. We are cutting forest to grow crops and feed animals which emit methane .it's a triple whammy.
Losing a carbon sink, increasing co2 production in the supply chain and also increasing co2 in the value chain.

"Believe", in a faith without proof sense, is shinjiru 信じる in Japanese. As in English, this is a lot stronger than mere thinking.

Omou is used a lot in Japanese as a politeness marker of sorts: instead of stating flat out that the moon is green cheese (tsuki ha guriin chiizu desu), you soften the statement a bit saying that you think it's green cheese (tsuki ha guriin chiizu da to omoimasu). When translating to English, you'd often drop it entirely or at least find other ways to express it, because in English it's not natural to tack "I think" to everything you say.
The legitimate reason is that momentum causes even frustrated and annoyed people to finish most transactions even after they realize that AirBNB has tricked them about the price. Let's not pretend there's something nobler then that.

The whole travel industry is chock full of this bullshit where vendors hide the full price (taxes, resort fees, etc.). It sucks.
> I don't know how we disentangle all those when trying to measure or compare human welfare.

I think they just aren't very good metrics for measuring or comparing human welfare. There might not be any single or small groups of metrics that do any better either. It's a nebulous and complex thing that doesn't have easy answers. Of course in the hierarchy of human needs basic financial security to secure food, shelter, etc is pretty important and a precursor for positive welfare, but not really a sufficient condition.
