It was a good article until the gift economy crap at the end. Game theory explains all of this quite well.

Money is desirable because it makes transactions and economic calculation so much easier. As a pure abstraction, money is simply a ledger (https://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/sr/sr218.pdf). When humans live in small groups related by blood, they just keep the ledger in their heads (if at all) because the penalty of cheating is so great that no one will defect (exile from the tribe and a lonely death).

When humans need to transact with people and there is uncertainty about (a) whether they will be able to punish cheating, and (b) whether they will ever meet this trading partner again, then they will use a more explicit and trustworthy form of money to reduce the risks. For most of human history the only real option here was some kind of physical token, which had to approximate the ledger abstraction: uniform in quality, easily divisible, easy to authenticate, with as inelastic a supply as possible.

The modern sovereign state allows for fiat money, since the state can simply declare that its official currency is the ledger that everyone will use. It's quite efficient, since you can do things like maintain a banking system that exists primarily as numbers in a spreadsheet rather than vaults full of dusty gold bars. Our fractional reserve system also mingle debt and money, and for most of us the two are equivalent.

This makes perfect sense when you consider that money is a claim on the future output of everyone who agrees to use the money. It's an EOU: everyone owes you. Thus, if you issue fiat currency against public debt, it's effectively an EOU as well since everyone in the economy is indirectly responsible for the eventual repayment of that debt. Of course, sovereign currencies have borders, so looking at the ledger used by governments to keep score amongst themselves is quite telling.

However, when there is no socially accepted authority to dictate consensus, how do mutually disinterested individuals agree on a form of money? This was a pure thought experiment until the invention of Bitcoin, because the options were exceptionally limited: precious metals were so much better than anything else that had been tried, for reasons I won't go into here, that there really wasn't a choice. But with Bitcoin, you have a protocol for digital cash that can be used to create an infinite number of ledgers with the same desirable properties. How do we choose which one to use?

The answer, of course, is proof-of-work.
Maybe the visual center has more trust over auditory or other parts of the brain? For example an auditory hallucination is easily discounted, but if most people witnessed a visual hallucination, they'd question their own sanity because that signal is so trustworthy? There's many other explanations just a random thought.
Google Pay (then Google wallet) came out in 2011, 3 years before Apple pay and 4 years before Samsung Pay. So no, Apple was not the one to field the technology.
True, but you could provide default values as well if you use something like this: https://medium.com/@meeusdylan/go-reduce-function-parameters...

You'd need extra logic to know a value has not been set at all though. At which point the complexity might not outweigh simply..not using them.
To support your view your cite Draper's book, which proposes the conflict view of science and religion. Both Draper's book and the conflict view are discredited.

I, on the other hand, refer to Stark's work, which is state of the art as far as I know.

Most of modern science was founded by religious people. This seems very odd if there is an intrinsic conflict between religion and science.

To avoid a lot of back and forth, what credible modern scholar can you cite to back up your point of view?

Subject: elementary math error in journal article

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3615184/ was linked to and discussed today from Hacker News (a popular discussion board for software engineers) here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22307445.

In the ensuing discussion a poster noticed that the journal article contains an elementary math error:

"if schizophrenia occurs at a rate of 0.72% in the population (McGrath et al., 2008) and congenital blindness occurs at an estimated rate of 0.03% in people born in the 1970s and 1980s (based on Robinson et al., 1987), then the joint probability of a person having both conditions, if the two are independent, would be 0.02% or 2 out of every 10,000."

0.72% * 0.03% is actually .0002% or 2 out of every 1,000,000.

Despite the article being several years old, I thought you might want to know.

Wait, what?

I’m already surprised SiriusXM is still somehow around, let alone that they have $75 million to invest in another company and not that they’re taking $75 million to stay afloat...

That's an interesting thought. I (think I) have aphantasia and I could easily see how you'd be less inclined to hallucinations, intrusive thoughts and the like.
Right. So no actual alternative.
In the 80's I had a Demon Dialer that stored a whole bunch of phone numbers and could automatically dial them with pulse or touch tone dialing, and switch between them for using alternative long distance services like Sprint, MCI, ITT, etc. Great for getting through to busy modems, radio contests, or just using as an electric phone book, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_dialing

>In the computer hacking scene of the 1980s, demon dialing was a technique by which a computer was used to repeatedly dial a number (usually to a crowded modem pool) in an attempt to gain access immediately after another user had hung up. The expansion of accessible internet service provider connectivity since that time has rendered the practice more or less obsolete.

>A similar technique was sometimes used to get the first call for prizes in radio "call-in" shows, thus leading to the adoption of random "fifth caller," "seventeenth caller" etc. by radio stations to circumvent this practice.

>The term "demon dialing" derives from the Demon Dialer product from Zoom Telephonics, Inc., a telephone device produced in the 1980s which repeatedly dialed busy telephone numbers under control of an extension phone.

>"Demon dialing" was popularized by the movie WarGames, which demonstrates the hacking technique (the technique eventually evolves into a technique called "phreaking"). After giving the program an area code and 3 digit prefix, the program then serially dialed every phone number in that prefix in order, recording which phone numbers were answered by a computer modem. Soon after, most likely because it was popularized by the movie, serial dialing was outlawed. Hackers got around this by simply randomizing the order the program dialed all the numbers. Later the terms "demon dialing" and "war dialing" became synonymous.

Road sensors ain't gonna fix the long tail of L5. We can't even upkeep roads as is, like crash attenuators, which would have mitigated the fatality in OP article.

Also, highway lane splits are very dangerous in general. It's a concrete spear with 70mph cars whizzing right towards it. Around here, they just use barrels of material, sand I believe. Somebody crashes into one, they clean the wreck, and lug out some more sand barrels. Easy and quick.
Car engineers know what level 1-5 is. Level 1 and 2 are basic assist - cruise control and the like. Level 3 is the car drives but the driver monitors everything for issues the car can't detect. 4 and 5 are you can go to sleep, 4 means there are some situations the car will wake you up and after you get a coffee (ie there is no need for instant take over) you drive, while 5 is the car will drive anything.
The most important things are long-term, and therefore don't seem urgent. The days may be long, but the years are short, and unless you specifically make time to work on important long-term things, they just won't get the attention they deserve.

That said, people often use less important things as a way to avoid dealing with the big ones. I often get to the end of the day and know I got a lot done, but also know I was avoiding something bigger all day.
It makes sense, because as a scientist you often only write it as e.g. 0.2% for the article, but 0.002 in your actual calculation.

Percentage calculations being off by 2 zeros I would say is one of the most common mistakes I saw in, e.g. statistics exams.

In addition to all the hype-sters and scammers, you're probably seeing a lot of the often young urbanites with dreams of never owning a car and getting chauffeured around by super-cheap robo-Ubers all their lives. Many of them are either in denial or are feeling pretty betrayed at the moment.

That said, there are legitimate issues with incrementally improving assistive driving. People text and drive today without assistive driving. If a car can mostly make its way in rush hour down the highway autonomously, does anyone think that people won't routinely watch Netflix on their commute?
Don't be silly, not everyone is buying $40k cars. And the bus is a great solution if it exists, but in most places on planet earth it does not.

I’m not sure this is totally a rip from Hollywood or a kind of modern Potemkin city.

I see this in old districts too. Facade in the front parking in the back. Strip malls are the inverse. With strip malls it looks ugly but you can tell at a glance if there is parking. The older form you don’t know till you drive around the back on a typically one-way street.

The modern take is like the Emeryville Bay Street shopping center or Santana Row in SJ/Sta Clara. It’s obviously artificial but people like it. In addition at least Santana Row integrates housing into the mix.

We are getting paid with direct deposit from peoples paychecks. This means that multiple customers paying the same amount from the same employer would have the exact same incoming bank account (the employers bank account) and there would be no way to identify who didn't pay if we got 9 payments and were expecting 10. Our current thinking is to create a new business bank account for each customer to direct deposit into. Id love a different solution if you think of anything.
As someone who developed their career from the comfort of their bedroom, I always find it very interesting to see people all over the world from different cultures experiencing the same basic issues with this kind of work set up.

I absolutely loved working from my bedroom for years. It was great (despite the common down falls like the ones listed here). My family used to make fun of me at parties and seasonal celebration "OH YOU'RE NOT IN YOUR PAJAMAS TODAY", but joke was on them after a couple of years - I was making 5 to 10 times what they were per year, and I was waking up at 8:50am with no commute.

I eventually ended up investing in building my own "detached" office in the back yard - a dedicated space set up for working. This was by far the best thing I ever did. It created a visible boundary between home and work life, and I still didn't have to commute or work in any clothes other than my pajamas the majority of the time.

I couldn't image going back to a bedroom now. But even more so, I can't imagine how painful it is for people to sit in traffic every day, stressing they might be late, burning money on fuel and their car, and waking up earlier than they really should.

It's pretty reasonable to think you might spend $100 a week on a commute straight out of your own pocket. That money is gone forever. Now consider if you invest that money over 30 years in some low to medium risk areas and average 10 - 15% per year. That's a healthy addition to your retirement fund of around $1,500,000, plus a good amount of extra sleep.

EDIT: Okay 15% is maybe a bit hopeful and lucky. But still 7 - 10% will make a difference in your retirement.
This is from 2018 and the driver didn't even have his hands on the wheel, though he knew there were problems at that spot. Very careless driving. Personally I wouldn't use a mobile game while I'm driving a vehicle, nevermind software in development.

Post-It Notes Aren't Agile – They're Wallpaper
I know I'm against popular opinion to the extreme here, but I'm not altogether against that (the commit every day bit, not the LOC competition bit).

Few reasons:

1. I find devs (including me) tend to do too few commits instead of too many. Smaller, tighter commits are better, but it's really tempting to try and do an entire feature in one commit.

2. If someone has spent a couple of days working on something without committing it, I'd be concerned that they're stuck, or spinning wheels. I'd check in on them. Not in a bad "you're not working hard enough" way, but in a "do you need help?" way.

3. If someone often spent more than a day without writing anything they could commit, I'd check in on them. Again, like 2. above, not in a "dammit work harder!" way, but maybe it's an indication that they're getting handed the really hard problems, or that they need some more training, or that they're going through some personal stuff, or something.

but measuring lines in each commit is pointless/futile, as is measuring number of commits in a day.
As a hobbyist wildlife photographer I really like this picture. It gives hope to those of us who can't easily access exotic locations and animals that it is possible to take award-winning shots in a local environment.

More specifically, in a world where everyone carries a camera (in a phone form factor), this show two things that you can do make your shots stand out from the crowd:

- have the patience to wait for interesting behaviours

- get a different angle from everyone else - don't stand, but kneel or lie down

The third thing, also shown here, is investment in kit that lets you totally control the shot. Kit here means a responsive camera, and decent glass (the lens)
I work remotely and I agree with everything here except the title: don't work from your bedroom, have a dedicated space for it at home even if it's part of the living room. If you can afford a separate room for it, do that instead.
The dataset is 15,000 images. Breakdown of the number of labels per class (post fixes) is here: https://i.imgur.com/bOFkueI.png

Not all of the pedestrians and cyclists were on the sidewalk, no (eg the kid on his bike in the road and the lady with a stroller in a crosswalk).

I stuck with what it looked like the conventions of the original dataset were (all people labeled as pedestrians whether on the road or not). They just didn't do it very well or consistently.

I do also think that makes the most sense in this context; if you were building a self driving car this layer of the stack would want to know where the people are; higher up you can combine that with where you know the roads/crosswalks/stoplights, etc (and the delta of their position between frames) to make predictions about where they might go next so your car can act accordingly.

For example, a stationary pedestrian at a corner will probably cross the street when the light turns green; if you're turning you need to factor that in.
It is just as much of a liability, a priori neither more nor less. It needs to be evaluated like any other potential new dependency.

Plus, AspectJ is something that you have to be careful with. It injects code at the start or end of methods that can do arbitraty things and the method source code doesn't indicate that this is happening. So it has a great potential for code obfuscation.

That’s confusing. Schizophrenia is horribly unpleasant for the person who has it, they aren’t “tested” so much as they are suffering terribly and seek help and are then given a diagnosis.

I think we first have to answer a more fundamental question: Are there advantages to physical co-location that cannot be replicated using better computer collaboration tools? If so, then it may be that improving tools will never get us there. This is especially true for genuinely remote working, I think the tools to allow part of the team to work from home part of the time are there and in many industries are ubiquitous.

My laptop is set to back up to a share on a mac os desktop, in theory. So whatever protocol they like. It says the last backup was made on Aug 22. I never turned it off.

It doesn't look like it works even between macs via SMB to me.

Mind, the laptop is on 10.14 and the desktop on 10.13, so that may be a problem.

Economists have known for a long time that there is something fundamental about the human condition that leads to the emergence of money, or some approximation of it that serves the same purposes. Where they have struggled to make solid progress is in formalizing the "frictions" that make money an essential component of equilibrium economic models.
