I've seen too many projects where the specification guys were basically writing the whole program suite in English and then expecting it to just translate smoothly to computer code.

Then their beautiful 5 year late 2000 page specification slams head first into the realities of computers and the project immediately becomes quagmired. It's basically the Soviet model of computer programming, where you try to make all of the design decisions from the top but the people at the top don't have the whole picture and can't make good decisions and the scope is way too large for mere mortals to learn enough to make said decisions.
Yea it seems like this person has a history of potentially controversial claims and not always the best science [0][1]

Seven Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying
You are basically me. My dad also had a microbiology degree but his first job in this country was a waiter and janitor. This ended up turning into basically slave, unpaid labor, which he managed to escape thanks to my mother.

My mother had an economics and poli sci degree but worked as a secretary. She decided to become a teacher and had to her entire university again at night because California wouldn't accept her Indian degrees. My brother and I spent many nights in her college classes doing our homework under her desk. Really taught us the importance of hard work to get what we want.

After waitering, my dad had all sorts of odd jobs -- real estate agent, garbage man, computer guy -- until finally getting a job in pharmaceuticals thanks to my mom getting the HR ladies at her office (while she was a secretary) to review his resume and help him.

Academic expectations were absolutely the same. Even A minus was not accepted.
The state serves a collection of individuals. If a particular individual is underserved, then it is consistent with the purpose of the state to:

1. Celebrate brain drain, because your people are improving their circumstances

2. Quickly move to one-up the U.S. and attract talent back to the EU

Almost no one wants to leave their homeland unless the opportunities elsewhere are significantly better.
I've been running native Linux on a $299 2015 Chromebook[0] for years and I get about 5 hours of casual programming, Youtube, browsing, etc..

In practice it works really nicely for what I use it for. A temporary portable computing device that isn't my main workstation but still gets a lot of use.

Wuhan hospital for coronavirus lacks care for patients, lots of locks though
This article would be massively better if it cited some of the studies that the scientists were using in their argument.

Leaving out these important details can unfairly undermine their argument.
Depending on what you mean by "beds are capped and reduced", the opposite may be true: my understanding is that one of the major inefficiencies in US health care is that we have an unusually high vacancy rate in hospital beds. Addressing that problem is the central argument of Certificate Of Need laws.
>I'm sure "colonoscopy, clear" and "colonoscopy, with removal of polyp and pathology on it" will have different prices, but you won't know which it is until after the procedure.

Considering that colonoscopies are not urgent you'll likely elect to have your butt probed at the clinic that doesn't have a massive price discrepancy between removing something and not.

I really hope the price transparency rule works as alleged. I'd be totally unsurprising if the entrenched industry finds some way to neuter it but I'm hopeful.

I couldn’t even imagine going to a hospital uninsured. It means you are pretty much giving them a blank check to take all the money you have.
I think you see a similar phenomenon across many aspects of contemporary American life. We've found inferior-yet-workable ways to route around the increasingly dire financial situation of the average family, often by lowering standards, paying with debt, or simply with outright theft. 30 years ago, Sheila may have driven her new car to college (both of which she's paying for with a summer job), picking up a few new cassette tapes along the way. Today, she'll drive her used car, financed for 5 years, to a college she's paying for with tens of thousands of dollars in loans, and she'll just pull up some YouTube videos or songs that she's pirated to pass the time.

I don't know if "competition" is a panacea, but there is definitely something wrong with how a lot of our institutions function.
^^^ this. Whenever I hear someone blame "the system" I cringe inside.
There's a very good reason: because they're mostly used as the background to the location of spots you're searching for, or driving/transit directions.

Your search pins or path are foregrounded with excellent contrast against the map because this is what people are looking for 99% of the time.

These days, it's very rare to use an online map just as a map to "browse". Obviously you still can, but it's probably like 1% of the time. And the "low contrast" version still works for that, it's just not optimized for it.
That's what I was thinking of. They laminated a reflective material under a thin sheet that had a particular absorption spectrum, with a thermally conductive bond, and put fused silica on top of it to protect against weather.

Laser-etching of normally reflective metals makes the material less complex. For one, you don't have to match thermal expansion coefficients any more.

The night-sky radiative cooling concept is thousands of years old-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakhchal --but we have better materials now. India and Persia made ice by filling shallow trays with water, insulating them underneath with straw, and exposing the water to a calm, clear, night sky.
"Nobel co-laureate Devra Davis" is interesting, as it's not mentioned on her Wikipedia page. Factually, she was one of 400 scientists in the group that was co-awarded the 2007 Peace Price (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Nobel_Peace_Prize). Which is still pretty cool, mind you, and far above any award I've ever gotten! But I still think that description is a little disingenuous, as I think it was meant to imply that she and a few coworkers were awarded a prize for work they'd personally done.
While it is certainly interesting to hear of new developments for cancer screening, it must be taken in with the proper context. I see a lot of people without medical or public health training fall into the trap of thinking that any sort of screening mechanism is a net positive, without taking into consideration the "costs".

For example, a lot of breast cancer screening has been highly controversial, because of either A) false positive diagnosis B) slowly growing cancers that are too aggressively treated. To properly assess the utility of a cancer screening technique, you need to look at specific long term metrics, such as mortality reduction, that can only be quantified using randomized controlled trials. On the other hand, there's many pitfalls for over treatment. Patients may die during surgery. Biopsy isn't a fun procedure to go through on the receiving end. There's a lot of emotional stress involved. Adverse reactions from chemotherapy/biological agents used to treat the disease. And all this is in the face of the fact that you may die from other causes such as a heart attack.

Certainly I share the optimism with many that we can develop breakthrough cancer screening techniques, but it's irresponsible to let it interfere with rational decision making based on proper studies.
>The findings, based on samples from more than 2,500 tumours and 38 cancer types, reveal a longer-than-expected window of opportunity in which patients could potentially be tested and treated at the earliest stages of the disease.

One issue with this might be selection bias towards cancer. What is the baseline rate of finding these type of mutations in people that do not develop cancer? There are cells going bad all the time in the human body, but because of factors such as the immune system, they actually don't cause any problems.

One example of this kind of thing is prostate cancer. Prostate cancer used to be aggressively treated often with a lot of side effects such as not being able to control urine and sexual dysfunction. However, further research showed that a lot of these cancers either don't continue to progress or progress so slowly that the patient will die with the cancer rather than from the cancer, and so not doing anything is the best course of action.

Overall this is an exciting development, but it will take a lot more research to know what should be done with that information, and to avoid over-treating which has its own downsides.
What people who use less than 1% of production want tends to have little effect, except when they are willing to pay the difference in cost for volume and niche production runs.

I.e., affordable equipment with 16:9 displays rides free on the entertainment train. If enough people were willing to pay a few $hundred more to get 4:3, somebody would make it.

Regardless of your personal preference, it should be obvious that offices and productivity are not one-size-fits-all.

We seem to enjoy sharing personal anecdotes and preferences here regarding open plan, cubicles, home office, etc, and I find these discussions interesting. But I think the OP is a bit more interesting, because it summarizes some studies about both personal productivity and interactive teamwork.

Furthermore, they make the argument that it is a bad "management fad". In other words, since different folks/teams/projects work best in different arrangements, when an office accomodates all sorts, it should succeed, whereas management that forces any one arrangement will fail for some people. The fact that it is a fad is precisely the problem inasmuch as causes management to select open plan offices exclusively.
Even Lenin, of all people, argued in favor of a (regulated) market economy.

It's a weird of inverse no-true-scotsman argument. I haven't met many socialists who argue in favor of a fully centralized economy. The big discussion, I suppose, is how much should be regulated, and which parts of our society should be 'markets'.

Reduce your google usage to as close to zero as you can achieve.

Really, if you have data you value, and wish to preserve long term, there is no real alternative than to host it yourself and take care of it yourself. Placing it on anyone else's computer leaves you open to the whims of that "anyone else". You can't violate a TOS when there is no TOS because you are storing the data on your own machine that you own and control.

And, if you want an email address for him that is more permanent then buy a domain name for him, at which point he will have (provided the domain payments are made on time) an email address that can't disappear at the whims of a corporate entity. You don't have to actually run the hosting yourself (there are entities that will operate the email hosting for you linked your own domain) but you should make sure to always have a copy of all the email traffic on a machine you own and control to avoid the problems of again being at the whims of others. I've had the exact same email address myself for a bit over twenty years now, it has been operated over five different ISP's, but all of the content I've chosen not to delete is sitting on disks I own, and backed up to other disks I own.
yeah, haha. It's super meta - we're trying to get this article to rank on "SEO case study." It will probably take a while since the domain is pretty new, but we'll get there.

As for which keywords to focus on, our rule of thumb is, find one of your competitors that's winning with their SEO, and borrow their ideas. In most industries, if you combine the keywords from your top 3-5 competitors, your keyword strategy is gonna be pretty comprehensive. As for the "how," just run your competitor's website through SEMrush or Ahrefs, and voila!
It's great advice, but if I'm not sometimes tempted to skip a day for a hobby (hello running) it doesn't feel as fulfilling to me.

I'm under no illusions that I will ever be a great runner, for example, but pushing my boundaries is really important to me.
Here is the point that stands out for me in this article -- The lower your self-complexity, the more fragile you are. Let’s say you’re a man who thinks about his life mainly in terms of work and family. If your manager gives you harsh feedback, that’s 50% of your sense of self taking a hit. But if your self-complexity is higher—let’s say you have a couple of hobbies, personal goals outside of work, and relationships outside of your family members—the impact will be lessened.

People will often define themselves by what they do, this has been true since the stone age when people named themselves after their profession. The more things you do, the less impact there is on your opinion of yourself if someone says that one of the things you do is substandard.

Having hobbies will help avoid the trap that people get into when they take a job "because it pays well" and not because they are interested in it. The trap is sprung because it is harder to work at a job you're not invested in, and you don't generally do as well as people who are invested. So you can end up taking time away from other fulfilling activities to get told your doing badly at the thing you are spending all your time trying to do. That is a horrible place to be mentally.
Thanks for the link, it looks just like what I was after!

I've been reading through the paper and it looks really nice. It seems to rely on dependent records, which I assumed might be the case; but it claims the dependency is "benign" and elaborates-way when translated to System-F (I haven't reached that part yet); so it does seem to have found the right "trick" (i.e. a tractable subset of dependent types which enables modules, without losing too much inference or devolving into a game of prove-the-lemma).

Incidentally, it's also a nice use of "first class types" which isn't (fully) dependently-typed. It irks me when I read blog posts about e.g. Agda or Idris, which describe first-class types (i.e. no stratification, passing types in and out of functions, etc.) but call that "dependent types"; then don't mention the actual "dependent" part (type signatures which bind values to names, which can be referenced "later on" in the type).

Actually C++ is the one language you can write type checked Tensorflow/keras chains in that will actually fail to compile rather than give runtime errors when for example arrays don't fit.
If you live in an area which regularly needs 4 wheel drive (snowstorms) and you have kids that need to go to school or go to various actives, having a suburban makes sense. Think of a mini-van that can handle the elements.

In this article I totally agree, that a Hummer, or type of vehicle that simply fulfills one's ego is a little silly and inherently selfish.

However trying to say that all big SUV's are inherently selfish without looking at the reasons someone who has a family may purchase one is quite disingenuous.
Anyone can sue for anything, and it is a jury who decides not sound science. Thus this means nothing, and the result - either way - means nothing.

A few groups are trying to fight that with some success. Doctors often lose malpractice suits even when they did follow best practice because tears mean more than best practice in court, so they tend to speak up. The supreme court has overturned some lawsuits because some testimony wasn't scientifically accepted fact. However in the end tears are worth more to a jury than facts which means the truth isn't a defense in court.
I don't know if "motivation" per se is studied in this context, but the genetic links for at least "self-regulation"[1], "self-control"[2], and "political ambition"[3] have been studied:

You're correct that the Scala version isn't ABI-compatible. But Scala doesn't care about ABI between minor releases anyway, so that probably wouldn't stop them from changing it to align with Java.

There is also precedence for this, Scala 2.12 changed the encoding of lambdas from anonymous classes to Java 8's invokedynamic.

That's the same reply that people have to "C++ has too large a surface area". Granted, Swift isn't quite at C++ levels of complexity yet, but ideally, I shouldn't have to cordon off sections of the language I'm using just so my team can stay sane.

That might be a good 90% solution - car registrations are public records, which tons of companies harvest, which is why you get those annoying extended warranty junk mailers, etc.

Not all cars get registered though - some are chopped for parts (in which case that infotainment system might live on in another car), some are shipped internationally to be re-sold elsewhere, etc.

And there could be a lot of lag - some cars languish on dealer lots, get auctioned, languish on another lot, get auctioned again, etc. Or a dealer might like your car and slap dealer tags on it and keep it essentially as his personal vehicle for a while without registering it.

Lots of little opportunities for data to leak or remote functionality to be abused. There ought to be a complete, no-joke, absolutely reset everything in the car (and expire any remote access tokens) option in the car itself, that either a buyer or seller can easily invoke.

Doesn't Instagram have every device's photos' metadata anyway, when each one of those people gives it permission to access photos, and is then able to build a device specific profile and connect that with a corresponding Facebook account where some of these people may be sharing (their own) photos? Maybe the Instagram feed is using all these mixed signals, but to think that Instagram doesn't have a lot more data from each of those people's devices seems to be a bit of a stretch. I don't believe this tactic hides these people much from Instagram.
Some how automotive repair, general contracting, and many other industries have been able to solve this problem.

It's baffling how medicine can't produce accurate estimates. Sure, there are edge cases and differences between patients. However, every surgeon has a rough idea of how they're planning to do a procedure. They've been trained and practiced on it many, many times.

I have a torn meniscus. The doctor can happily tell me how easy it is to clean up and exactly what he'll do to fix it. He certainly knows what the risks are and potential complications.

Why he can't document that prior to surgery, I have no clue.
that makes perfect sense, thank you

You can very selectively disable features and behavior of Lombok. While I've never used the annotation in my current project I can see the use of it in cases where Java's forcing of exception annotation is in your way or forces unnecessary verbosity.
The problem with walking is the same issue. Unless the lights are timed for a walking pace you will almost always have to wait 3-8 minutes at a light for your turn. Walking in a place with a lot of crosswalks is excruciatingly slow. Especially since a lot of crosswalk signals will only add you in on the next cycle of green rather than let you cross on a green right away like a car or a bicycle.
> China has a lot more solid schools, at least in my area, though a lot of rampant cheating and everything else too.

China also has probably 1000x schools, so even by law of averages, there would more scientists coming out from there compared to Monaco. And I would leave that to companies to figure out whether a candidate is actually good enough to be their employee or if they "cheated".

> Even the smartest scientist would probably have better odds of getting in via the EB3 category than EB1.

I don't understand the point. I explained that. Anyone in EB1 gets here before anyone on EB3.

About rest of your comment, I never said two bachelors degrees should be counted the same. Having a masters or PhD in a US university or having worked at a US based company should count much higher.

Anyway, it seems pointless saying anything more at this point since you seem to have a lot of issues with the points based system but you fail to see any issues with the current system. Have a nice day.

The suit should be dismissed based on that. What he wants is the constitutional job of congress to decide.
Ironically, the EU has only few top tier software development companies because of (my personal uninformed opinion) all the taxes that reach 50% of the revenue to support social policies that include access to the universities.
That's not really how science works. You can't prove anything doesn't cause cancer in any way, but nobody has been able to demonstrate RF causing cancer. If you just assume everything causes cancer then you get California prop 65 style warnings on EVERYTHING and nobody takes anything seriously anymore.
With first hand knowledge this is correct but much more technically complicated at the ground level than you would ever believe.
