Some rather muddled answers here, but it's simple enough: it's an (upcoming) IETF standard. The name makes clear that it's a proper standard, not an experiment run by one organisation.

Something similar happened with SPDY (Google's experiment) and HTTP/2 (IETF standard based on SPDY).

We have fraud laws to starve fraudsters of new victims. We have fraud laws so we don't each individually have to vet every seller. The more due diligence we have to do, the less business we're going to get done. It's better for the economy as a whole as well as us buyers individually if we can hold Amazon accountable when they fuck us over.
yes but I'm not worried about that. I see people reading news and stuff like that so
Manhattan has a glut of luxury condos that are sitting vacant but Williamsburg, Bushwick, Greenpoint and LIC have seen a boom (https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-building-boom-pushes-new-york...) over the past few years.

Commercial real estate has gone up a lot as well and has led to a ton of vacant retail space. My father had a carpentry shop in bushwick and just had his land lord triple their rent.
It's becoming more acceptable that whomever is the lower-income partner is the one who is the primary caregiver of children (man or woman).

From what I can see, working in STEM academia definitely means you are likely to be the lower-income partner.
There is such a thing as an implicit promise, but it does not trump an an explicit disclaimer of such attention. Which there is in this case. Once again, thanks for demonstrating the entitled attitude that brought this on.
"Empowered" is a spectrum. Do I think the majority of gig economy drivers find their job empowering in some cosmic sense - no, probably not. But I'd certainly be much happier as a driver for Doordash than a sales clerk at Walmart, and the reasons are empowering things like "I don't have to spend 100% of my time around annoying customers" and "there's no manager who will come yell at me if I play around with my phone for a few minutes".

One of the major claims Dr James Hansen made in his testimony in 1988 (which led to the creation of the IPCC) was that the arctic sea ice is melting and it would disappear. In 2008, he was asked about it and he said he was sure it would happen. Dr. James Hansen made his prediction on June 22 1988 and repeated them in 2008.

The data shows the exact opposite of the claims which were made and even made now a days by the media. It shows it has gotten thicker, more volume and area.

You can confirm this from another source by using the data provided here too:

I guess I didn't make my point clear.

For researchers at University of Toronto as well as within Google, neither (probably) wants to directly work on a product.

However both would certainly (At least in my experience) like their work to impact humanity on a wider scale then simply the number of citations their paper has. Again primarily thinking about applied researchers here.

So in that sense, both researchers are insulated from the producing of something business related based on their research. However one of them has a significantly greater chance of their research being used to actually affect people at large scale in their lifetime.
Yes but at the same time we can hold Amazon (or any other seller) accountable when they misrepresent what they're selling.
> And at first, they blamed it on mediocre 3rd world country pilots.

Well, both are true.

The Indonesian investigators share blame between their pilots, mechanics and Boeing. Insiders expected this.

And Boeing forgot they were in the aerospace business.

I think it comes down to one's priorities in life. I would rather rent somewhere that I want to live that has the activities and culture I enjoy than own a big house where I dont want to live that doesn't have those things.
I find it shocking that people so boldly cite the opposite as being true. I can't seem to discern a benefit to so confidently push a belief that doesn't hold up in reality. It's not as if the Nordic countries aren't doing pretty well, so why are people so resistant to the reality?

It's perfectly understandable that less economic and social pressures lead to people choosing things they actually want. It just happens to be that there's a notable difference in women's choices under those circumstances.

It certainly seems like there's substantial misinformation out there these days.
Indeed. Aside from the labeling, I think this is a very good and important article.

And of course, GDPR is all about opt-in, not opt-out. The only statement that applies to opting out is 'withdrawing consent shall be as easy as granting it', which of course applies only after you've intentionally, explicitly granted opt-in consent.
Do you have any citations here? I've always assumed that mothers on average spend less time with their children than in the past, especially the far past, where the men were often abroad fighting wars.
No parental leave, assisted suicide, sick leave, non competes are allowed, their schools leaders are religious and backwards, still fighting abortion rights, illegal marijuana, etc.
Are you sure about that? Consider the following non-inclusive list:

1. Differences in hormonal expression and response affecting behavior and interests, e.g. testosterone and competitiveness (biological)

2. Measured differences in performance in different types of intelligence, e.g. spatial reasoning (statistical)

3. Consistent differences in achievement and specialization between men and women across almost all societies and all of human history (circumstantial)

The truth may be inconvenient but the idea that men and women are on average equally suited to all tasks doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.
I have it on good authority that the universe was actually created last Tuesday, but by Wednesday, Last-Thursdayism was already being considered.
That you put in your mouth and partially ingest.
It's incredibly offensive and dumb to say that women don't know how to raise children, considering the millennia long track record.
> Forking projects should be a last resort

No. This was kind of true in the days of CVS and SVN. Now with DVCSs like Git, it's easy enough to merge in changes from wherever; this was the whole reason Tom Lord originally developed the modern DVCS. Git workflows commonly make a new fork for every bug fix. If other people don't want to merge in your changes, they probably don't think they're good enough. But that doesn't matter; you can still use them. If they're wrong, it's their loss.
That's another thing I liked about DO more than AWS. AWS seems too overwhelming as they have too much going on. DO is simple.

The thing I am proposing about the ACL on firewall already exists in DO - but it only exists for the droplets. I don't think it would be too hard for them to port it over for the firewall too without making things too complicated.
Personally I don't have an ethical problem with search being pay to play. Regardless, I'm pretty sure having competition in the search space wouldn't solve the problem (because as I said, users don't care) - what basecamp really wants here is regulation / a stronger interpretation of trademark law.

>The weirdest thing is that this is apparently happening with a net outflow from the state. Rents up over 60% with a stable/decreasing demand pool for housing is an odd dynamic and likely means this is no ordinary supply problem.

Only a net migration of domestic residents. After factoring in natural population growth and foreign immigration you still have a growing population.
I tend to agree, but how would you weight it between states?

Per 1000 capita in the source state or the destination state?

Also that would overweight the low pop density states, assuming there's a baseline immigration rate, painting an entirely different picture with the Dakotas/Wyoming/etc.
I've heard that number before, where is it from? Does it control for the idea that more experienced practitioners tend to be called on for more complex operations?

You say ‘When the state-of-the-art is 97% on a task’, but solved tasks are the least interesting tasks.
I would seriously quibble with the anarchic independence you describe in #3 because (depending on the field certainly) you need to fund that work with grants and postdocs etc... Do you might feel like you can but it's generally largely dependent on convincing other groups to fund that work.

I know of quite a few companies that really value the Red Hat certs. Having RHCSA and RHCE as a devops person can really help get you an edge.

Mostly the bigger enterprises are the ones that will care about that. For the most part no startup I've talked to has ever cared.
I don't think there are any products that make me fulfilled. Some make me happy in the short term -- but which ones depends on the context in the moment. The products that increase my short-term happiness are the ones that are solving a problem that is irritating me in the now.

If we're talking long-term happiness, I guess the closest I can come to is my bicycle, because it keeps me in reasonably good physical shape and being in reasonably good physical shape does increase my overall happiness.
Her argument just shows how entrenched sexism runs in our society.

Anecdotal evidence/sample size one story:
My wife has a doctorate in chemistry and 2 postdocs under her belt, but she had to leave her field purely due to sexism she encountered during her post docs. The PI (her boss) was quite abusive, outright sexist and a horrible racist. My wife wanted to move on to industry jobs but her wouldn't let her leave. So he kept giving bad references. We didn't know about this until after my wife looked into why she got rejected.

The entire idea is preposterous. The solution to affordable housing is oversupply of housing. Gov should incentivize new construction to reduce prices and let the market fix it.
I stopped buying anything expensive and simple to manufacture from Amazon. I now only use it for things where I want the no-name version anyway, like RGB LED strips and curtains. Essentially treat it like AliExpress with fast shipping.
When picking gross margins it is not always desirable to pick the highest. It would be unusual, but not actually illegal or wrong to pick a mix of gross margins. It depends what your goals are. Does anyone think VW only makes and sells it's highest gross margin products? Or Heinz or anyone else?

It's an interesting analysis but it doesn't define what tesla will do or why they do it. It only defines what sets the upper and lower bounds on expectations of return on investment.
I actually confirmed the Arctic Sea ice one too. Got the data from:

"It’s unfortunate that a well-known project had soundness issues. It’s unfortunate that the maintainer wasn’t receptive to fixing them."

What should you expect in this case? What is the best possible response?
Hi Will, thanks for the reply. One thing I'm curious about: this paper discusses how a neuron that uses a different slope for positive and negative updates will converge to an expectile of the reward distribution. And the behavior is very interpretable, in that a slope of 3 for negative updates and a slope of 2 for positive updates will lead the neuron to converge to the 60th expectile (3 / 3+2) if my understanding is correct.

But it seems that the more common approach in reinforcement learning is to estimate quantiles via regression rather than to get expectiles via asymmetric updates as in mice neurons. Do you have intuition for why this performs better? And is there an analog to the asymmetrically updating neuron in the quantile case?
If there are no blobs in the "normal" path, why isn't this device supported by mainline Debian without special patches? Is this code making its way into kernel/bootloader upstream so that distros can pick it up?
A mayor does not make a city. If that was the case California would be a republican state since they have had republican governors in the recent past.

> one example is massively accelerated modeling as an alternative to slow finite difference/finite element simulation

I work in the field of numerical modelling (fluid simulation), and I haven't seen any convincing demos of anything but utterly trivial problems solved this way. Care to share some examples?

(There are some works that focus on fluid simulation for CGI. That's neat, but a) only interpolates between real simulation data, and b) doesn't achieve physical accuracy, just looks good.)
9 generations and counting, but people who hate "newcomers" are just uptight anyway. The attitudes of the pacific northwest are something most people can adopt in about six months, and most of the people who move here are looking for a change of pace anyway.

Sort of, but generally speaking, in the work world, men are rewarded for having families and women's careers are penalized on multiple levels.

Dad's are paid more, more sympathetic and even cheered on when they leave early for the talent show. Women on the other hand are considered less committed, less capable and less flexible.

I became the primary care giver for my daughter for a number of years (My wife died - some years ago). My experience is that there is no flexibility in IT jobs - if you want to work not 9-5 5 days a week then tough luck, when you have a kid to look after, pick up from after school etc this just isn't possible.

I envied doctors at the time, they could just name their hours, some other professions can - but not STEM fields for some reason. I'd say the reason is sexism - its a bunch of guys who are married to women who look after the children, so flexibility is not built in to the system.
It is if your the one maintaining it. It's not like people are paying the person to accept their patches. If they want their patch applied they can fork the project. The maintainer isn't a slave to others.

Under what obligation does the maintainer NEED to accept any patch? It's his project he built. He can build or destroy his work as he sees fit. If you have an issue fork it. This is how things like libreoffice, mariadb, and countless other projects have come to exist.
Your framing seems to suggest the entities that established the unequal structure are blameless, which I do not think is the case. The leave policies and overall working environments that most of us have came from the belief that men should be dedicated to work and women should stay at home. Whether the people who established these norms had malicious intent or not, they were incorrect and harmed society.
This is going to sound wishy washy (and so probably tick the "No" box for your first question) but I think that humanity sometimes needs to remind itself that it can do things that don't plot rationally on the cost/profit quadrant.

Think about those Thai boys in the cave - the amount of effort and money required to get them out could have saved multiples of lives from preventable disease, etc. But something about that situation (helped by media interest, techy solutions, our archetypal fascination for people stuck in deep holes and so on) brought the world together and made lots of us care about something that really had nothing to do with us and that we stood to gain zero benefit from regardless of outcome.

We live in very splintered times. There's an immeasurable value in coming together to Do Better for a while before we all splinter off and start f*cking each other over again.

As amusing as the Final Fantasy translation project is, it simply is not the right comparison. It's a case of using the wrong tool for the job.

There are better systems for natural language translation that attempt to keep track of the subject, something that is very often implicit from context in Japanese. Additionally, that subject could be implicit based on the visuals of what is on screen. The enemy names are abbreviations due to artificial limits of the system...

All in all, it's like using a hammer to drive a screw. It might sort of work, but you shouldn't be surprised when it fails. It's just a case of using the wrong tool for the job. That is hardly proof that Hammers are bad, or the screws can never be successfully inserted into a board.
