Being able to see the aggregate data isn't just interesting but publicly helpful.

From a game developer perspective, looking at it right now tells me that (simplified):

* Most gamers have at least a GTX 1050 and 8GB of ram or higher. Perfect now we know where to aim our medium settings.

* 74% use Nvidia GPUs, 15% use AMD - now we know where to focus driver optimizations

* English, Simplified Chinese, and Russian are the top languages (where to focus translations)

* 72% play on 1080p, 14% on 1440p, etc. Tells us what resolutions to make sure our UI works on.
I answered the next comment down the chain, but I agree with you. As framed, there is no satisfactory solution to making a question "good".

Improving question quality could however be a product goal for StackOverflow, or for a company focusing on writing tools (Grammarly, Textio,...). The book describes a process for turning that vague product goal into a more tangible set of metrics, which lead to choosing an ML approach, and iterating on it.

Eventually there is a finished prototype, for which you can find a GitHub link in the PDF preview. It has definitely not solved how to evaluate if a question is "good", but aims to provide a narrower set of recommendations (the first chapter actually dives into an approach for this).

I think embedded systems account for the vast majority of chip production, so any dynamics involving Intel/AMD would be very minor.

There is massive difference between "you are wrong" and mocking someone. Both deserve different response - when someone mocks you it is perfectly ok to mock back or ignore that person. Which is what people do. Mocking makes you asshole.

The ethics here are not as simple as "don't ship any self-driving AI until you are 100% sure they will never make a fatal mistake." There is no such thing as 100% assurance in this field.

If you are so cautious that you never ship any self-driving code, there are lives that may be lost due to accidents caused by human failure. These accidents might have been avoided if an AI was at the wheel.

I respect this type of work is not for all people. I applaud the brave companies plowing ahead.

Trying to impress people from those groups with hotel-supplied VR headsets would trap them into a pretty heinous rendition of the Red Queen's Race.

I'm guessing sci-fi and furry conventions would offer a better product-market fit. By definition, most the people there are there on leisure time, so they'll be generally more interested in playing. And the crowd won't be a bunch of people who are making a career of rendering all the hotel's expensive electronics obsolete.

> Asians mostly use high-skilled visas / education based visas as a door to enter the nation.

The minimum salary for an H1-B Visa is $60,000, which would put someone at the 68-th percentile of individual income (or the fourth quantile). The statistics I am referring to are for asians whose parents had incomes in the lowest quantile (below about $19,000 today) between age 11-22.

Now, that could capture a lot of immigrants who have skills or education back home, but are underemployed once here. (E.g. college degree back home, but working in food service here.) But it excludes immigrants who were able to use their degrees or skills to provide financial advantages to their kids in the U.S.
Universal care is no different. If your surgery is deemed unnecessary, you really have no chance at getting it.

All of my relatives in Canada come over to the US for any major surgery. The reason? The wait time is in years, instead of weeks and some can't get the surgery at all.

"Once you start running a hospital like a business, you create an environment of perverse incentives. Care is no longer solely based on what's best for the patient, but how that patient's care relates to the hospital's finances."

Government-run care is no different. It doesn't magically solve the issue of treating patients as a number.

"So wealthy people get access to better care and everyone else has to take whatever is available"

The alternative is that everyone gets access to sub-par care.

The answer is an actual free market, rather than another, large middleman monopoly over our health care. We need to get rid of all insurance companies, allow hospitals and doctors to compete over price (which will reduce prices for everything to true values (instead of $80 Aspirin), and only have insurance for surgeries that are rare and can't benefit from the free market.

Monopolies are bad for everyone, whether it's big business or the government.
You don’t get to the meat of a statement like that by subjecting it to semantic analysis.
How does a small anything stay in business?

> while the small businesses slowly bleed out and die.

This is what killed small grocery businesses. The bigger corporations lose money on lots of popular items and make margins on other products. Walmart is especially bad, they can take lots of losses on grocery because they're making margins in other areas of the store.

The ultimate question is what is allowing these bigger businesses to operate more efficiently than a small business? Offshoring labor forces, offshoring manufacturing, low to no import tariffs, ability to utilize immigrant labor (small companies have no shot in the H1B process), corporate HQ's in lower tax jurisdictions, legalized accounting fraud (CapEx vs OpEx), skirting labor laws by hiring 'contractors,' getting outright handouts from municipalities (see Amazon HQ2 or any NFL stadium), onerous regulations, etc, etc.

Democracy in action. This is what everyone keeps voting for. Kill small business, empower multinational corporations.

Well, the Equifax hack was way bigger. Probably took a little pressure off of the other bureaus when that happened.

Periodic reminder that there are more bureaus than just Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and all of them buy and sell your data every day. One of them [3] even sells your salary data to prospective employers so that they can negotiate against you more effectively.

Medical insurance only covers treatment from specific medical practitioners, of which an entire hospital may contain a wide array of medical practitioners under and also not under any specific patient's insurance company. Having a routine surgery from a surgeon that is covered can still rack up an intense medical bill from an anesthesiologist who is not covered.

Similarly, if the insurance company for any reason disputes a hospital claim for any reason, up to and including disagreeing with the hospital that the issued treatment was appropriate in lieu of a cheaper treatment, the hospital goes to the patient to foot the bill.

So it is entirely possible to be fully insured and still be forced into unpayable medical debt through factors completely outside of one's control.
It's a requirement to have medical insurance, but the cheaper qualifying plans have enormous deductibles.

A Bronze family plan will typically have a $13k deductible. You pay that entire amount out of pocket before insurance kicks in, and it resets annually... so if you're in the hospital December 31 through Jan 1, you might be on the hook for $26k.

There's also nightmare scenarios where the hospital is in-network, but the doctor isn't. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-insurance-surprise...

Referring to deaths due to collectivization as a "trope" is a little like referring to the Holocaust, or from American chattel slavery, as a "trope". It's easy to see how inappropriate the term is with the latter two examples; regardless of how you feel about communism, you probably shouldn't say it about the first example.

By way of further example, here's an excellent AskHistorians post on a Soviet collectivization tragedy you probably haven't read about, or at least I never had --- Kazakhstan:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/cys9ie/in_th...

Regarding the Soviet Union's growth into one of the great economies of the world, you can talk to people who left there for the west and learn how much of an economic powerhouse it was. Or, for that matter, look at the economy of a country like Poland. The clear evidence does not, to say the least, favor the argument you're trying to make.
Never consider yourself senior to someone unless you can do their work, and until they have demonstrated they can't do it. Otherwise, stand back and let people work.

You doing their work is sometimes going to be needed, but a 'good team' has an equitable workload. Be willing to do any of it.

The biggest thing a team leader can do is help the team communicate with itself. The worst thing a team leader can do is create conditions where team members are not communicating.

>And given that it’s now a US requirement to have medical insurance

It became a "requirement" in 2014 with Obamacare, but since the repeal of the individual mandate in 2019, there is no financial punishment (except well, the increased possibility of medical bankruptcy) for not having insurance:

I fully agree that they need to address those problems. I really like the way Valve does it with their Steam Hardware Survey.

What I'm addressing is that I feel many people see a company tracking data, and assume this data is valuable enough to sell, and that the data is for sure being sold.

My point was that the data isn't just valuable to sell (maybe), but is legitimately valuable in making a better product/service.
Some of the Stamen maps were created for showing data on top (actually sandwiched). You don’t want the data to visually mix with the underlying map.

This could be different for the university in question, but every school I've been at cares deeply about 4 year graduation rates. If a professor fails a student, that triggers a system of investigations and they need to file a bunch of paperwork backing up their decision.

This assumes the public is smart enough to make an informed distinction now but will lose that ability in the future.
Materials that are perfectly black in visible and near-infrared light, and mirrors in thermal infrared would be naturally warm. Materials that are mirrors in visible light and perfectly black in far infrared would be naturally cool.

If you paired those materials, you could collect solar energy on the hot end, and radiate thermal energy into empty space on the cool end, and put a Stirling engine between them. Then you have a heat engine that does not dump its waste heat into the atmosphere. At the theoretical limit, that means your passively-radiating cool end can approach 3 K, instead of 300 K.

So you take a huge polished stainless steel dome, and etch the outside to be black at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, from 200 nm to 8000 nm, and you take some smaller domes, etch them to be black between 8000 nm and 14000 nm, and put them at the focal points of some parabolic reflectors, all in the shadow of the first dome, aimed at empty space. (8000 nm to 14000 nm is the "infrared window", where the atmosphere is mostly transparent to those wavelengths.)
A 17th century farm with all that comes with such: cooking on a wood-burning stove, heating the house with wood, building out the place with wood taken from the forest (I have a log saw for this purpose, driven by a 5KW electric motor but still fairly low-tech). Farm life combined with more intellectual pursuits make for a good mixture of the manual, the menial and the more mentally challenging activities.

For one scenario: if two members of your team disagree passionately on something technical and come to you for resolution do the following: tell them they must resolve the argument between themselves with you as a mediator (to make sure they stay civilised and focussed on the technical arguments). Tell them they must come to a consenses themselves. Do NOT pick a side unless the process breaks down. I made this mistake and it wasn't good.

This greatly oversimplifies a complex system that relies heavily on the honesty and behavior of thousands and thousands of humans. The fact that Hillary Clinton "lost" or even that the data was bad has very little to do with the quality of the application that was developed.

yes I wanted to bring a few because I was sure I'd get really bored. But getting up at 4 or 5 am and hiking till 5 or 6 every evening I was in no condition to read anything. I had a hiking guide with me initially which weighted 400g ... and after 3 days I left it at an "Alm" so other people could pick it up. Also had a sharpening stone for my knife, a gas camping-cooker, gas, ferro-rod, fishing telescope rod, and a whole lot of other stuff with me. Weight was everything so I sent it all home very quickly after realizing my new reality.

edit: my rucksack had initially 17kg when I left home. for this type of thing it is much too heavy. But the reason I packed so much was because I thought I will not be covering such a large distance and instead hang out at great spots that I'd discover, build a shelter, make a fire, build traps, catch some fish etc. Once I was on the road I changed my mind because the actual walking was so fulfilling. So my initial list of items weren't needed. Next time I do it I will either stay in one place and bring a lot, or keep my weight below 8kg. One thing I never regretted is to use a proper 1-man ultralight tent (700g) instead of a tarp. The one person who I met who used a tarp was harassed by ants and bugs every night :D
