Agreed - often in London the parking is underground, under the building where people live, rather than huge swathes of car park etc.

It wont work for high-rise buildings of course, but for slightly-less-central blocks that are say 4 to 6 floors, each apartment gets a parking space.

Relations Between Data Science and IT
Yeah, but it was another case of Apple doing it better then anyone. I was an Android user from probably 2009 until 2016 and used Google Wallet as much as I could. In fact, I think I still have my Google Wallet card [1] in a drawer at home. The simple fact was Google Wallet's NFC payments were neat when they worked, but the support was terrible. I am not sure if it's because the US was so behind when it came to credit card terminal technology at the time, but the support incredibly lacking.

> You get to pick and choose.

In theory; in practice though, you need to have all developers (and yourself) strictly aligned on what features to use. In my limited experience with Scala and working with Scala developers, there's as many styles and preferences as there are developers on a codebase.
Every time I look at HDD price it seems Seagate is always a little more expensive. But the difference is less than 5% to the point one may argue they are all priced similarly.

I dont want to save a few dollars for potentially 4x the chance of failure and hassle.

And even if we ignore the outlier to 2%+ from two models, Seagate is still on average 2-3x more likely to fail.

We're way past memorization. We're into interpolation and extrapolation in high D spaces with Bayesian parameters. Sentiment analysis and contextual searches - search by idea, not keyword.

Sorry, but you're behind the times, and that's ok - one of us will be proven right in the next 1-5 years. Based solely on the work we're doing at the startup I'm working for, we're on the cusp of an ML revolution. Time will tell, but personally I'm pretty excited. And don't worry, I'm not working in adtech or anything useless.

That said, the driving problem seems to be quite far from being solved, I agree though it is outside my expertise; but I think the primary issue is that this is an application where error must be unrealistically low, a constraint which does not apply to many other domains. You can get away with a couple percent of uncertainty when people's lives aren't on the line!
> This partially explains the success behind YouTube

I thought the success of YouTube was largely due to their low bars for quality of content. Put simply, they allow all kinds of crap as long as it generates views.

Vimeo's model is quality content from indie producers, actually they are similar to SoundCloud in some ways.

Think about this: for example NASA has plenty of quality audio and video materials, where should they upload it? SoundCloud and Vimeo would be the best choice and it's what they do. It's quality content not exactly "publishable" via music labels or television, and yet it's pretty good.

Not everyone wants to be on the Internet's sewage system that's YouTube, and not everyone wants to go the costly publishing route. There has to be a niche for this type of media. I'm sure monetization can be figured out when there's clearly a market for it.
How unsurprising: Silicon Valley high-flyers make money comfortably from their flashy offices, while the impoverished masses at the bottom of the pyramid, without resources and options, are exploited as usual.

But of course, "the company doesn’t condone" exploitative practices, and will investigate. Must be just a few bad apples spoiling an otherwise-worthy endeavour.

Agreed. You can’t assume that the current upswing will go on forever. People learned this in 2000 and 2008.
Thank you for the succinct defence of the validity of game theory.

On a meta level: Is there a generalized reason why people reject tools of analysis on the basis of "imperfect reflections of reality". I've never come across someone rejecting the formula for the diameter of a ball just because it's "only an approximation". Does it have something to do with number and size of assumptions involved?
A bit more expensive but they could add a few underground floors for parking. In cold , snowy climates this might even be an advantage.

This would waste less surface area to parking lots but would add some cost.
You can’t take the absolute low point as your starting point and call it low risk.
It's not really a sign of anything. Decisions should be made on who is best for the job, not gender or skin color.

Forcing diversity (which lets be honest..an entire board of women is not 'diverse') only proves that a specific gender or minority can't get the job on their own.

That might mean:

- Compensation to other passengers.

letsencrypt support for wildcards has improved greatly. Now that DNSControl also manages certs, we use it to manage our wildcard certs... even ones with multiple wildcards. Shameless plug: https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol

That said... every time someone uses a wildcard cert I think it should be considered a bug. It solves a lot of problems, but opens up others. I'd like to reduce our use of them significantly. Now that letencypt lets me create new certs within minutes (seconds?) instead of days in a fully automated manner, it's easier and easier to reduce my need for wildcards certs.
nope - atleast not on your typical commercial passenger aircraft after certain height is achieved. The air pressure difference between inside of aircraft and outside makes it impossible.

To be fair, it appears they fixed the math later, or at least roughly. (2 out of every 1M) x (the US population) [they cite ~311M]. That gives 622. Not far off the 620 they report in your quote.
Speaking of Shannon, unless we were the intended recipient, wouldn't an advanced civilization protect the transmission, so that we would not be able to eavesdrop and/or interpret it?
The article doesn't claim that barter never _existed_. It claims that there's no known case where it was a _precursor_ for money. In both examples you mentioned, people involved were already familiar with money, and used barter as a replacement - not the other way around.

Yeah, this is a known design pattern known as the Parameter Object (from Fowler's Refactoring book) (see https://wiki.c2.com/?ParameterObject). I am of two minds on it though, since it does add boilerplate to your codebase - especially if you start adding things like the builder pattern, or if you want to make arguments mandatory (e.g. via asserts).

I use intellij which can offer inline parameter name hints, I think that's a good middle ground but it doesn't make things more readable outside of that editor.
Modern research has actually found closer ties between psychosis and a different psychoactive compound: dynorphin[1]. In terms of recreational drugs, this is the neurotransmitter responsible for a salvia trip.

From an outside standpoint, this makes more sense than the classical psychedelics. Unlike LSD or psilocybin, salvia hallucinations usually result in a total disconnect from reality, and the user is often rendered catatonic like in severe cases of schizophrenia.

A Critique of the Programming Language J
> Trade did occur in non-monetary societies, but not among fellow villagers. Instead, it was used almost exclusively with strangers, or even enemies, where it was often accompanied by complex rituals involving trade, dance, feasting, mock fighting, or sex—and sometimes all of them intertwined.

They talk about that and say barter generally did exist as trade between groups outside the local community. Which makes sense as an alternative to the gift economy.

Also POW camps aren't really great examples because they're a) already coming from money based societies b) not producing their own goods, ie all incoming things are basically gifts especially in the POW camp and everyone has a similar set of goods initially and c) they're in confinement which distorts any group's dynamics.

That last part of b is really because people all share 90% of the same set of resources and the main difference is the relative weights each person assigns to each item.

The bus pass wouldn't be $1.75 if it serviced the rural areas. The economics just don't work with low population density.

Look at NJ Transit, in rural areas if you have a train station you get 2-3 commuter trains in the morning on week days and no service on the weekend or during the day/late at night. And thats for NJ, which has high population density even in rural areas, is physically small and is part of the north east corridor.

> But even if we assume radio waves, Shannon says that the you can send the most information when using a random code. As you approach the Shannon limit the signal becomes more noise-like as the encoding tends towards random.

The waveforms we currently use for high data rate communications are already pretty close to the Shannon limit. I'm willing to bet the aliens will tolerate a 30% reduction in data rate if it means using an identifiable signal.

Does Shannon's theorem really imply that the closer an information stream is to the limit, the more it resembles noise?
> Humans are terrible at safe driving

I'd dispute this. I'd say humans are excellent at many aspects of it. The high mortality is simply because driving is inherently dangerous and we do a lot of it.

I imagine the solution is basically what has happened over the last 60 years: gradual changes to improve safe driving.

At what altitude? At low altitude, it is theoretically possible (although some passenger aircrafts have a lock).

But even then it would still require significant strength, as there would likely be some air differential due to the aircraft's speed/air pressure against the door.

At higher altitudes it is essentially impossible for a human. You'd have to blow apart the door or equivalent.

The biggest thing is the pressure differential. And that varies based on speed/altitude/etc. At normal cruise in a jet aircraft, it just isn't happening.

I don't think you need that for this. The keyboard firmware likely consists of three big chunks, the USB code, the matrix scan, and the processing of the matrix scan data into keystrokes. The USB stack is likely a peripheral on your microcontroller, which they have in theory already tested. The matrix scan will need to be tested on real hardware. The processing code should be abstracted enough from USB and matrix scanning that you can just compile it for your host machine and write tests the usual way (given matrix state x then y, output state should be foo).

For final integration tests, you can use an additional microcontroller to be the key matrix. Instead of wiring up keyswitches, wire the microcontroller to the matrix pins, and have it accept commands over the serial port to set the matrix to a certain state. This way, you can do a full end-to-end test on your real hardware.

The only place USB gadget emulation might be helpful is in writing the code that switches the keyboard from compatibility mode (6KRO) to the NKRO mode. It's been done a million times, though, so there is plenty of library code to just copy.

This sounds horrible and predatory, and it's even worse that occurs under the guise of "financial inclusion". Yes, having access to credit can be a good thing, but using big data to give loans to people who have often never been exposed to the compounding nature of high-interest loans, and who might be desperate sounds disastrous. They're not only use data to _price_ loans, but also to test messaging, timing, etc... same Silicon Valley playbook.

I grew up in a "developing" country at a time when banks started rolling out high-interest loans, and where defaulting on a loan would mean prison time. People would take out loans they knew they had no ability to repay. And sometimes it wasn't to put food on the table or pay for medical care—it was to help their kid get married, etc (it might sound silly, but sometimes upholding your family/kids honor or status can be as important as any living necessity).
> In this specific case, it was a computer that created the music, not a human.

You don’t really get any music made by humans these days, the sound of hitting them against each other just isn’t that popular. So we get music made by guitars, pianos, trumpets ect. But of cause all that music is still “made by humans using those instruments” just like this was made by a human using a computer.

Perhaps interestingly, the example of the cigarettes is exactly the example Graeber gives in his book of an instance where barter does emerge, and it does so precisely because normal economic conditions have broken down:

"Elaborate barter systems often crop up in the wake of the collapse of national economies: most recently in Russia in the '90s, and in Argentina around 2002, when rubles in the first case, and dollars in the second, effectively disappeared. Occasionally one can even find some kind of currency beginning to develop: for instance, in POW camps and many prisons, inmates have indeed been known to use cigarettes as a kind of currency, much to the delight and excitement of professional economists. But here too we are talking about people who grew up using money and now have to make do without it - exactly the situation "imagined" by the economics textbooks" (p. 37 of Debt)

Further, the second place where Graeber notes that barter tends to emerges are precisely in those cases where different groups have no established societal relationships, and are thus exceptional to almost all well established societies - as exactly in a case like Columbus meeting natives:

"True, barter does sometimes occur between people who do not consider each other strangers, but they're usually people who might as well be strangers-that is, who feel no sense of mutual responsibility or trust, or the desire to develop ongoing relations. The Pukhtun of Northern Pakistan, for instance, are famous for their open-handed hospitality. Barter is what you do with those to whom you are not bound by ties of hospitality (or kinship, or much of anything else)" (p.33).

Which is all to say that the two examples used above are very much exceptional, and exactly what one would expect if the anthropological understanding of debt holds.
