Ehhhh I’ve heard the predecessor engine had much to be desired, so it probably wasn’t only just the performance bit. That said, I could see performance (in addition to execution guarantees) being part of the factors.

Sorry, not parsing the last sentence - what do you mean by “he is not available to work at the company”?

Or we could just experiment and see what we see.
The real economic gain may be much larger. It’s only a realized loss if they sell now.
The world has not gone mad, you've merely had an unrealistic expectation that it might be consistent and sane.
Some people want love, happiness, beauty and sweetness in their lives. Others prefer security, power, self-satisfaction and wealth. The 2 sets of values are mutually antagonistic, but there is profit in pretending to be spiritually motivated.
Does that help you understand why the world we live in is riddled with disharmony?
As a percentage, sure, but in real terms the poorer person doesn't have 'much' to lose (to be regained) over someone extremely rich risking the same percentage.

This is questionable. The assumption that a poor person can more easily regain their stake is shaky---a poor person who loses their money may become homeless, which could in turn make it harder for them to be employed, or if they are a trades person maybe they lose their tools or can no longer afford to rent them. By contrast, a rich person has access to credit lines and investors in their social network. For the poor who aren't wiped out below a critical threshold, then, it may be true, but you're not taking into account the significant number who drop below that threshold and may never recover.

I would rephrase the original statement, "the poorer a person the larger percentage they are willing to risk" as "the poorer the person, the larger percentage they are forced to risk if they want to achieve comparable returns on a percentage basis."
And you don't remember any bugs that took much longer to get to the bottom of than the others? Or bugs that required debugging at a much lower level than usual? Or bugs that involved a huge black box that required a lot of guessing to fix?
If a guest complains to customer support, and support contacts the host about it, then the host can retaliate on the support request.

guest => support: "the place was filthy, I want a refund"

support => host: "guest says it was filthy is that true"

host reviews guest: "terrible, all they did was complain, beware"
This was my first thought as well. Of course, getting rid of `=` would make the conundrum about moving Python from version 2 to version 3 seem like a quiet evening at home, but there is no practical reason why `:=` wouldn't work in all contexts as `=` (currently, a simple assignment is a syntax error).
Yah, but work long enough in the field and your bound to have a couple doozies. I've been doing software development for close to 30 years now. In that time I've pretty much found every major class of bugs. Processor bugs, yup, compiler bugs, yup, OS bugs (almost weekly these days), library bugs, interpreter bugs, general hardware adapter/etc bugs, you name it. And from all that you would think they are common, but for every "hard" bug I've probably fixed thousands of boring off by one errors, and all the other silly mistakes.

I used to talk about the difficulties of tracking an IO corruption bug in an adapter card and a hardware vendor that wouldn't assist/acknowledge the bug until a another of their much larger customers started reporting similar problems.

But these days, I like to talk about JIT bugs, because I believe anyone using a JIT in production needs to have their head checked. The last one I found literally took me two weeks of writing a bunch of automated tools and burning a crapton of CPU time hunting for a code sequence corrupting a callee saved register in a chunk of code that had a very high reproduce rate but misbehaved after churning away for a few minutes. AKA by the time the problem occurred it was tens of millions of instructions past the actual corruption. I wasn't even sure it was a JIT bug until I found it. Worse it was in a REALLY common piece of code pretty much everyone with a computer has installed, and had been sitting around for a few years before I happened to bump into a pretty consistent reproducer.

Thankfully JIT bugs are rare in most common language runtimes, but what really kicks the JIT problems up a notch is frequently the difficulty of reproducing them and the near inability to do any kind of static analysis outside of execution tracing to find the bugs.
Its the way of the world. The Palestinians were weak so they got bullied around and Israel was born. They remained weak and Israel continues. This is the way of the world. Strong eat the weak. Whether its monopolizing tech companies or nation states. They can abuse their power. Once established, they can then rewrite history. Look how now Microsoft has become such a champion for open-source. Tomorrow the champion of privacy will be Facebook. Tomorrow the champion for human rights will be the Saudis and the Israelis.
That seems like a much better legal analogy. If anything, this should probably be considered search and seizure without a warrant. That would make the evidence inadmissible in court. Or we carve out searching DNA databases as outside of that amendment. That actually makes more sense to me as even your dna is no longer yours once it’s in the public domain on a hairbrush at the dumpster. IANAL.

I don't have full access to the article, but it would seem as though the headline has been editorialized. CADR and air quality are not exactly the same thing, the latter being somewhat ill-defined.

A better title is probably "potted plants do not make good air filters", but I guess that doesn't sound as exciting.
I was under the impression that this is exactly what peak oil is: the end of our current levels of oil production, not (necessarily) the disappearance of the oil itself.

The singularity to me, is at best a bad case of seeing a trend and assuming it will forever stay exponentially growing. This mistake has been famously made countless times. Can you really imagine a state of _infinite_ scientific growth and technological development? Of course not. There are upper bounds on what even a planet of scientists and computers can do. Moreover, this singularity hype comes at a time of "austerity" where public funding is decreasing--that should be your biggest indicator of the direction we're going.

At worst, the singularity is a kind of cult-like pseudo-science. And "singularity" is only the newest word for it. Futurists, designers and scientists have been foretelling "leaps and bounds" changes since forever, always ending in disappointment. But sometimes including the sale of vitamins and snake oil that promise longevity.

In the West, our biggest tech companies are scams or making not money (or arguably, social good) at all. Government contracts finance sparse private tech investment. Thought leaders tell of a bright future, only slightly tuned from past futurism to include the latest buzz words. This is a Potemkin village, a carrot on a stick.

Meanwhile China has built out a sprawling high-tech train network, leads the world in wireless infrastructure and even smartphones (sorry, Apply :( ) and is aiming to go 100% electric vehicles. The East and West seem at polar opposites, but still the closest thing to the singularity is in places like Shenzen, China. New operating systems, collective effort towards RISC-V. Even some rumoured use or CRISPR.

But hey, in the West we're making "Twitter but for video" and half a dozen Electron-based Slack-clones! Maybe our multi-billion dollar Pentagon spending will lead to an new fighter jet that works, but I think there is hardly a world-wide effort towards the singularity concept which seems impossible to begin with.

Uh...I think HIPAA might be the most misunderstood law in America.

As a general rule: if it's not an insurance company or medical provider (who accepts insurance) HIPAA does not apply. Hint: the "I" in HIPAA stands for insurance.

Just because you emailed your great aunt to tell her you have the flu doesn't mean HIPAA suddenly applies to Gmail.

Good. Living in SEA, the number of times where I want to book an AirBnb and they advertise it as "Entire house" and it ends up being a single room and shared living is ridiculous. It takes me 10x as long to vet out and find a place out here. And even then, I'm disappointed the majority of the time.
>How are you validating my credentials as an applicant?

Applicants submit their resume, LinkedIn, and answers to why they'd be a good fit for a certain company + a mini biography about themselves.

> As an employee when I refer someone it's because I have a good understanding of their person, character and ability.

Many, if not most, referrals are people that don't know each other very well and either connected through LinkedIn, had a quick phone call, or had a quick coffee chat. We think that these same subjects can be covered in a few questions online.
Granted, my knowledge is limited to physics and chemistry, which I know are small potatoes compared to the life sciences.

With that said, a problem with replication is that a given lab tends to gear itself up for one or a small number of research programs that could span years or decades. Experimental apparatus are developed, knowledge and techniques are passed from one student to the next, and so forth.

My thesis project involved more than a quarter million dollars worth of commercial gear, plus a lot of stuff that I built. By the time I was finished, some of my tools were already obsolete.

If one lab publishes a result, another lab would have to gear itself up to replicate that result, which would probably include a capital investment plus a lot of time spent making beginner mistakes.

I don't believe strict replication is necessarily the best or only way to advance science. It produces reliable factoids, but they are still factoids. Physics has made its greatest strides when experimental evidence, that may be riddled with mistakes, supports the development of unifying theories of ever increasing power and accuracy.

Preferable to strict replication might be to let researchers study overlapping domains, so that several projects attack the same problem, but possibly from different angles.

FB can track ads using clicks and view through. With a control group, you can only use view through. I am just skeptical of how it is a fair test especially when FB has an interest to prove that ads work.

YouTube brand lift is an indirect measure that is hard to translate to actual sales to see if the ads were cost effective.

The math is fuzzy when measuring marketing ads and it is real hard to be truly scientific.

The idea of using artificial sweeteners is pretty cool. My first thought would have been using urea too, but didn't know it also came from sweat.

Two more interesting chemistry points: (1) quite a bit of a surprise that the smell of pool actually comes from trichloramine (side product of urine + chlorine). So whenever that smell is strong, the pool has higher concentration of pee.. (2) Urine is free of bacteria and that makes drinking it sick-free (although quite gross)

Alex Jones.

He still has his radio show. He still has his website. He still has a Wikipedia page. I’m not going to go trolling through a bunch of social networks I don’t use to see if I can find the guy, but presumably he has a means of asserting an online presence somewhere besides his website.

I think his podcast was removed from the Apple Podcasts Directory, but if there’s a valid feed URL, then there isn’t anything stopping you from pasting the URL in to any podcast app.

That’s just online. Again, I don’t know the guy’s life, but there isn’t anything stopping him from having an active social life or a prolific writing career. I don’t like the guy, but are you going to tell me the guy has no options just because Facebook and Twitter kicked him out of their gardens?
Yes, although I group it as "misplaced/missing" semi-colon. Although the common case of mixing a control statment/block open/close with the misplaced semi-colin generaly seems to be a pretty easy bug to find unless its buried in firmware or some other hard to debug place. OTOH, most decent static analysis tools will warn on constructs with unusual semi-colon indent/block open sequences these days.

AKA

if ((unusual condition) || (something other condition)); {
do_something();
}

will buy a nice fat warning the same as using "=" in a control statement. Bonus if the semi-colon comes from a macro so its not actually visible in the code sequence.

I grew up in the seventies and lived through the Carter presidency. And having had a period of my life where I was using check cashing services to pay off the previous check cashing service, I can say with relative surety that unless you were born during the depression, my poverty is as big as your poverty.

That's not how banks work. You go in and deposit a check they give you a receipt which tells you what day the deposit will post and when the full amount of the funds will be available. You are, again, functionally complaining that a checking account can't be used to force a bank to give you an interest free loan and justifying it by saying "desperately need [...] food or basic amenities."

Your economic model is simplistic. People with no marketable skill or knowledge are not having the value they create stolen from them. The value that comes from the businesses they work at comes from the founders, the investors, the people who had the idea, who developed the product and so on.

FWIW, this might be the primary source everybody is unintentionally quoting, or at least much closer to the primary source:

> Although the concentration of uranium is quite low, about 3.3 ppb (parts per billion) in seawater of average oceanic salinity, the amount present in the total volume of the oceans is very great, some 4.5 billion tonnes. Of this, perhaps only that uranium contained in the upper 100 meters or so of the surface well-mixed layer should be considered accessible for recovery, some 160 million tonnes. Practically speaking, the amount contained in the ocean surface layers is unlimited with respect to large scale extraction in the forseeable future. This results from the replenishment by continental weathering and river runoff being much larger than forseeable extraction rates.

...

> 1) The surface waters of the oceans comprise a virtually inexhaustible uranium resource of some 160 million tonnes, extractible indefinitely at a rate of a few thousand tonnes per year.

Exxon Nuclear Company, "EXTRACTION OF URANIUM FROM SEAWATER:
EVALUATION OF URANIUM RESOURCES AND PLANT SITING,
VOLUME I", pp 6-7, 9, February 1979, https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/6191296

The above quotes are from the executive summary. Page 35 has the money quote:

> This represents an influx of about 9000 tonnes annually.

Which supports your contention that sea water CANNOT provide an endless supply considering that current annual consumption is ~90,000 tonnes, 10x the replacement rate.

DIY builders already changed ( https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Co... ) and OEM's will probably join.

I think one reason their PE is so high is because their price is very competitive and they are very slow on raising average sale price.

It's only very recently that the flagship of Microsoft changed to AMD. I'm waiting for some OEM's to follow after this. This happened on the end of previous quarter. As explained before.

I think the cloud custumors can change faster than the consumer market though. As they will analyze price with performance and AMD has another year of "playing around", until 2021 or even 2022
