We do a poor job of being inclusive. I think most of that is not intentional.

If it's written in English, it's not because the author seeks to exclude people who speak something else. It's because I the author knows English.

Getting anything to work at all is hard. It's made harder in a highly multicultural world of billions.

If you think only of your culture, you get a colonial system. Europeans came to the US and saw wilderness. They did not recognize lands actively managed by a mobile society with a completely alien culture.

Trappers would show up first. Natives felt there was enough to share and saw no reason to forbid their activities or kill them. The trappers operated much like the Natives.

Settlers followed. Settlers did not operate like Natives. They laid claim to specific plots of land, usually the best plots. They often showed up while there was no current presence of people. When Natives returned to the area, as they tended to do seasonally, the settlers saw them as trespassers. They didn't recognize that they were the trespassers.

Agricultural societies can readily outcompete hunter-gatherer societies. You produce more per acre if you cultivate the land. So the conflict was probably inevitable.

I don't know the solution here. But I don't think that seeing the exclusion of the masses as intentional despotism is particularly helpful.

Everyone decries the downside of regulation when they have it. They fail to recognize the benefits.

Before we had regulation, fire fighters from neighboring towns couldn't help in a serious emergency because their equipment wasn't compatible. They would show up, then find they couldn't connect their hoses because it was a different size.

When I was a child, the Swiss were famous for their neutrality during WW2. That was seen as virtue. At some point, that narrative changed and I began seeing stories about how the Swiss were guilty of being Nazi collaborators due to their neutrality.

Most things are a two-edged sword. We laud them when we can see how it benefits us. We attack them when we are the ones getting hurt.

Designing good systems that work well for everyone is tough. It's made all the tougher when you want it to serve billions.

That's not nefarious intent. That's just how it is.
One suspects the author is a big fan of Gödel Escher Bach.
I had a similar coworker. Worse still because they were a junior who couldn't yield the floor to anyone, regardless of seniority. Their eyes would become a little bewildered as anyone talked over them (read as 'everyone') and they never seemed to grasp what was happening. This piece gives me a better model for understanding them; just a lost soul deep in the church of civility to the point of affliction.
Some people keep talking for a long time unless interrupted. They might even go in an infinite loop, reconfirming what they already said! For such people, while normally meek I force myself to interrupt!

I started off with a Teensy3.2, it was definitely nice. I really don't enjoy all the wiring and actual physical side of it though. So now I mostly reprogram eurorack modules. Not nearly as cheap, but some modules from 4MS or Mutable Instruments (among others) are fully open source along with the bootloader and unit testing system.

For example I reprogram my DLD a lot.

Alice makes a multipart statement about topics one and two.

Bob replies to topic two and starts to segue to topic three.

Carol has something important to say about topic one.

What is Carol supposed to do? Let the entire chain play out, then transition back to topic one when there's an opening? I know people can be bitter about interruption, but in my experience you get a prompt and decisive smackdown for trying to backtrack, especially when pressed for time. It seems important to get your point in while it's relevant. Interruption of the form, "hey, before we move on, can we talk about X" seems to be the way do that.

How would you handle this situation?

I'm especially interested in this, because interruption and other conversational "traffic control" flow much less naturally on international video conferences, and our remote meetings tend to be stressful and chaotic messes. Short of a formal, parliamentarian moderator, it's not clear how to make these better.
The original use case for the HP-48 was for surveyors and similar who needed to do serious calculations in the field but laptops weren’t suitable or even available. It is the perfect tool for that.

It is overkill on your desk if you also have a PC on your desk, unless you just prefer the interface I guess.
Assuming TC means Total Comp yes thats way lower than what Facebook and Google pay. Over 4 years salary + stock / 4 + signing / 4 is what I count as TC. Also no food and the horrendous equity vest schedule just makes Amazon lag behind in the list of prospective employers.

I'm an interrupter, by nature. And I also have a tendency to talk when I'm nervous. As TFA says, I'm fine with other interrupters. We have great conversations. We start finishing each others thoughts. But otherwise, not so great.

Probably the best insight that I got from group therapy was being told that I needed to learn when to shut up. So I've learned to be adaptive. And when I'm nervous, I've learned to draw people out.
>Now, creditworthiness is judged on more objective measures

Except it isn't. In the current system, you could be signed on to your parents credit card in high school and get a far better credit rating than someone who got their first credit card after college. Building credit is pretty easy to do and easy to game.

An objective system would be if the bank just saw your income and expenses and debts to determine whether or not you're worthy of a loan, not that you've had that capital one card in your sock drawer for five years and use your amex for your netflix subscription.

My little credit reporting anecdote is that of a good friend who came from Germany to practice medicine. Getting a home loan was a pain in the ass because he had zero credit history, despite his hourly rate being multiples of whatever the branch manager of that bank was making.
Interesting! Did you have to make any substantive changes to the ULMFiT approach to make it work for this problem? Did you use the fastai implementation, or write something from scratch?

(Disclaimer: I'm a co-author on the ULMFiT paper.)
I wouldn't recommend any.

You should try common sense.
I think there's some salient points here, but I don't think fully takes into account the classic schism of maker vs. manager schedule. The makers might be fine all plugging along with minimal office interaction--especially if they're working remote.

Same issue here in the Nordics with Tjärebörg. At least the Finnish version is claiming this won’t affect them, and has been saying this for weeks. I’d call this bullshit, as far as being irresponsible. It sounds to me like a CEO trying not to spook potential customers rather than being honest with existing ones.

My partner has a holiday with them booked for November. I don’t have high hopes for that.
Yeah, it's not comparing like for like. Feels like the system is trying to collect training data from users.

To elaborate on your last sentence, context is critical in assessing whether a clause is pro- or anti- privacy. Is the collection of information critical to the provision of the service? What is collected, and how much? And so on.

“You’re not listening” often means something like “I am feeling some strong emotion (anger, frustration, sadness, ...) but you are not validating my feelings, and that lack of validation itself feels like rejection.”

Even something as simple as echoing back someone’s statements, or saying “it seems like you are feeling angry because ...” can make a large difference. Once you have shown that you understand and can name or describe the person’s feelings it is often much easier to discuss possible solutions to practical problems. But if you jump straight to offering practical advice, that is often unwelcome.

(Of course, it might sometimes literally mean “you’re not listening”, which probably needs a different remedy.)

Let me recommend the book How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk even if you never talk to kids.
I thought something like:

>>> for x in multirange[1:5, 8:12:2]:
... print(x)
...
1
2
3
4
8
10

would be interesting, so I coded it up:

class Multirange:
def __getitem__(self, ranges):
if not isinstance(ranges, tuple):
ranges = (ranges,)
for term in ranges:
if not isinstance(term, slice):
raise ValueError("Only slices are allowed, not %r" % (term,))
if term.start is None:
raise ValueError("Missing slice start: %r" % (term,))
if term.stop is None:
raise ValueError("Missing slice end: %r" % (term,))
step = term.step
if step is None:
step = 1
elif step == 0:
raise ValueError("Slice step cannot be zero: %r" % (term,))
yield from range(term.start, term.stop, step)

multirange = Multirange()

Too many special cases, and requires the [] notation, so I decided I didn't like it.

Sure, go ahead. Nobody mentioned anything about a free market or lack thereof.
The moment they stop accepting reservations for new travel outbound is the moment they are commercially dead.

Agreed, if you knew there was 0% hope (say, of flying anyone back a week hence) it would be unethical to keep it going. But if you were trying to keep things afloat and thought you could do, it would be unethical to do otherwise, since stopping new outbounds would 100% doom the firm and strand the overseas travelers.
Prof Hamblin (of Harvard) said in the video interview with the guy from selfhacked that sun at greater heights (multiple kilometers above sea level) does indeed give some of the beneficial effects that are observed with near infrared devices. Elsewhere, radiation is not strong enough to have the same effect.
I've definitely witnessed this, but I think these are two separate phenomena of "interruption". The COI refers to a case where I interrupt because I understand and I don't require additional elaboration. The way I've often seen women interrupted is more like the interrupter wasn't really listening to the speaker at all and is just arbitrarily taking control of the conversation.

I don't think the difference is as trivial as you think. When you replace things slowly there are shared experiences for those parts. They have commonality among them. When you replace something instantly there is no shared experiences or commonality.

In general I think companies have a duty to their shareholders to fight to stay in business until it's literally impossible to do so. As long as there are resources left, those would have to be allocated to preserving the business, rather than to smoothing the process for their customers.
How about just looking at inflow and outflow? "Gee he's got 50k in high interest student loans and makes 30k a year, but boy he had that amex for 5 years! Let's give him a 5k limit to toy around with." Raising your credit rating is literally a game. There are even subreddits devoted to the topic filled with pages and pages of strategy that looks deranged on the outset.
Exactly, they should have stopped flying people out when they were within two weeks of closing. If they had secured the funding needed to continue then all well and good and then start flying people out again.
Skylake-X has 44 PCI 3.0 lanes, that's 352GT/s or about 345gbps application bandwidth. It's certainly more than enough to push 100gbps from disk to net. These guys are pushing 200gbps, but they're doing it with two CPUs, two sets of NVMe devices, and two NICs, and a bunch of hacks to make the operating system pretend all this stuff is not in the same box. It seems way more straight-forward to me if they had made it all be actually NOT in the same box!
Interesting premise. Pity I can't read the article.
1. Do consult a lawyer. The state you’re in matters and if you’re in the Bay Area you should be able to get a lawyer to provide advice at no cost. I would structure their equity as an option grant. You still have a long way to go to make this successful so they should be vesting over the future. You could give them credit for the time since the company was founded.

2. This is not a great way to structure this payment. Really you should just pay him a very high commission rate for closing those first few deals so he can cover the debts. Mixing it with a stock transaction will look shady to future investors/regulators. Be upfront with your investors about this and they should understand.
> The algorithm developed by Lee and his group uses tools in pattern recognition to recognise how chemical groups in molecules react, by training the model on millions of reactions published in patents.

While I am excited for the potential machine learning to improve retrosynthesis, patent literature would seem like an especially unlikely source for reliable information on reaction-condition training data.

Losing 2-3% per year is better than losing 10/20/30 % or god forbid >50% of your savings - which you cannot recoup.

It depends on what they are saving for - if they need the 20-30K a year down the line it is alright to keep it in the savings account.

If it is for general long term asset building - may be they haven't yet figured out how best to start investing. Again no harm to keep it parked till you figure it out instead of investing in haste and then regret later - for the rest of your life.
> the best insight that I got from group therapy was being told that I needed to learn when to shut up.

A respected manager that I really looked up to once gave me very similar advice. “When you have the answer, know the solution, can understand the problem, can see other’s mistakes? Just shut up.”

Fifteen years later, I have...improved somewhat.

Complaining about such things is usually a luxury by people who have never experienced the serious crime and poverty that exists in the world and afflicts billions everyday. In a way, it's a good thing that life can be so comfortable, but it also causes a loss in perspective.

I'm just starting on my Terraform journey, ~2 months in and building a PoC for my team. I'll be happy to go through all of your videos in the next few days and see how it fits in with my current learning's.

Just a brief note, Terraform 0.12's linter is broken in VSCode for HCL2. You'll find regular syntax errors in for each loops and similar inspite of them being accurate.

Till HCL2 is completely supported, I and my colleagues have been using IntelliJ based IDE's such as PyCharm which AFAIK has the only working HCL2 working syntax linter.
Iraq had substantially customized their Scuds, attempting to increase their range. This customization was not totally successful as it destabilized the missiles in flight.

I believe that there is also cultural factor.

Some are famous for interrupting often (in France for instance), whilst for others it is the opposite. It can also be related to the language, e.g. in German or Japanese the verb is at the end of the sentence. Because of that, one need at least to wait for the person to finish the sentence to understand it.

That being said, you surely find German interrupters, and French adepts of the Strong Civility, but maybe in different proportions.
Right, but if you give that task to pretty much anyone here, they'd nail it no prob. Even if they had to do it in Thunderbird or GCal instead of Outlook. Heck, I'm sure I could manage it in Lotus 1-2-3. I don't think reliance on office software or oddness of the task is in question -- and if you're saying it's due to unfamiliarity with the software, well, that's still very bad news for all the software writers out there.

I think there's a catch 22 here.

The instant the airline says "We're no longer accepting bookings because we're working to figure out a cash situation." you've got to believe everyone else who is still booked will pull their ticket for a refund of any form. I would be.

There would be a massive outflow of what little available cash exists.

The announcement whether early or late is the immediate death knell of the company.

I do agree at face value this seems terrible, but I honestly don't see a better course of action given they were waiting for a bailout and then didn't receive it.
Not much, no.

I can think of several causes that are more likely in the described scenarios. The fact that younger employees often are easier and cheaper to exploit is fairly well known, as is the fact that plenty of employers don't mind playing that game in the name of awesome profits. The total disregard for experience goes a long way to explaining why nothing works very well these days.

To me it sounds more like you have a horse in this race yourself, like you wouldn't mind guilt tripping employees in the name of profit.

Only operator overloading is really important and would cut down the size of code written substantially.
Thats the only real advantage of using C++ vs C.
Everything else oop, function overloading,RAII,etc can be replaced with macros and structs.
I'd read your point as splitting hairs. In either case, the interruption has happened because of the belief that the speaker is not contributing new, valuable information to the conversation.
It's basically self experimentation, and cross-checked with literature to make sure I don't overdose. Overdose is not that bad (it surely happened to me), slight light-headedness and confusion for a few hours, in my case. Not stay-at-home bad, only a bit annoying. I quickly learned not to overdose, and haven't for over a year.
Prof Hamblin from Harvard gave an interesting video interview with the guy from selfhacked (should be on youtube) where he mentions that he uses near infrared on his forehead to increase cognitive function, for a certain timespan (don't remember how often he does it). Since he's probably the most versed person (with a scientific background) on that topic, I thought it would be valid.

Though I am not there yet, the Permanent Portfolio [1] makes sense to me. The key insight is that for the money you have lost, you can never recover the energy/time/life you have spent in earning it. So, capital preservation (wrt inflation) is more important than chasing higher returns - which frankly are not under your control.
