No. You are correct in pointing out politics is a factor which is unfortunate. Trump wishes to punish Google for not helping him with another election. You won't see any articles on Oracle or Facebook and antitrust because they are currently supporting him.
Saying that you should write useful essays isn’t really saying anything. Presumably you should only do anything that’s useful. (Which is not to say that everyone always does so.) Being useful is a less stringent requirement than being persuasive, so it’s actually less ambitious, not more so.
You could argue that anticompetitive is not pro-business.
How can politicians take responsible measures if they can be called out on any nonsensical thing?

Not that I'm against transparency, but there really are two sides to this. In the best case, politicians act in the interest of the people, which makes publication of their private dealings unwanted. In the worst case, they act against the interest of the people, which can only be dealt with by complete openness and independent justice. In practice, there's a balance between the two.

And it's worse if the decision makers are judged by people that are only partially affected, such as in EU decisions.
Liars Poker reflected a sudden and gross change in the industry due to hyper-success. They went from boring mortgage firms to the richest organizations in human history within a decade, and it distorted thinking and emotional responses, as lottery winnings are wont to.
Yeah, I used linear regression through Excel in my 5th grade science fair to draw a nice line over my data points that showed how plants grew with different fertilizers.

Linear regression is everywhere in science and that can be classified as machine learning artificial intelligence.

Still, it's cool that science is using more data and more intricate algorithms to produce fits.
Nice. It's good to see New York take a pro-liberty stand as opposed to a pro-wokeness stand.
This is nonsense. The only agenda here is money. Those bots are all twisting discussion towards climate denialism and in support of fossil fuel companies. You can draw a straight line to mass disinformation from the budgets of major oil companies. It's a PR expense, and why wouldn't they? On the margin it's in their interests and they won't have to foot the bill from any sort of environmental issues that follow. They don't have to care if the world burns.

You can't have pure science in a world where financial incentives are towards lies and obfuscation. This isn't justifiable skepticism, this is information warfare.

I dunno, wasn't it Milton Friedman who was promoting UBI during the Nixon administration?

I've got this funny feeling that Congress likes legalistic solutions to problems because they are mostly lawyers. (All lawyers when it comes to Democrats) The pain of filling out paperwork for means testing seems less painful to them than it does to the general population.

The 'swiss cheese' approach to social services is one of the major reasons why U.S. health care is so FUBAR and so hard to fix. Old people have Medicare and they vote -- they don't see there is a problem. Many people get insurance from their employer and might have no idea what their employer pays or how stressful it is for employers to negotiate benefits every year. Veterans have a program, there is Medicaid for really poor people, Medicaid expansion for somewhat poor people, Obamacare exchanges for people who are almost poor, etc.

When you add it all up there is a small pool of people "left behind" and most of those people are transiently uninsured because they'll wind up in some covered category. Balance that against a larger population afraid of losing what they have, and you have gridlock.

Being into athletics helps my work performance too. Athletic, fit people live longer, are healthier, have fewer sick days, and it probably extends to mental performance too, which is important in programming. Being fit also probably helps combat physical problems stemming from sitting down too much, such as back problems.

I don't see the difference. Golf is not an athletic sport, and it's plainly absurd to try to argue otherwise.
There's nothing "athletic" about walking around slowly and hitting a ball with a stick; even bowling is more athletic than that. It might take some skill, sure, just like playing a musical instrument like a piano takes a lot of skill, but there's nothing athletic about playing a piano either.

Nope, specifically meant irrationals.

Floating point (up to a certain amount of absurdity) you can describe with integers (value, scale).

Real numbers you can describe with integers (numerator, denominator, scale).

Irrationals are more difficult. That's why we try not to use them :). Hopefully your company's commission tiers are not defined in terms of circles or euclidean distances.

My faith in my own ability to identify twitter bots was upended recently when an account with no followers, following nobody, with no posts, with eight digits at the end of its handle, which had liked or retweeted nothing but Trump propaganda since its joining, started replying to me about a very specific local transportation policy topic, in a real way and not a some way that could possibly be automatic. Now I don’t know what is going on at twitter.
Traditionally, Republican administration don’t block mergers and they don’t try to break up companies.

The Justice Department has never been unbiased. I don’t recall any scandals where the justice department were obviously been manipulated by a Democratic President (I’m not putting it past them), but there have been many reports about Bush II and Trump.

But even if it is not stated, the Justice departments more or less goes after cases along party lines.

Fun fact: Google is allowed to defend itself and is not obliged to give prosecutors all they want.
The framing of “resists giving documents” purposely makes it similar to “resisting arrest”.

It's hard to please everyone. The vast majority of writing tilts in one direction or another. Very few writers (in any setting) strike the right balance. Very few readers take off their own lenses to attempt to understand the writer's angle.

One tool I like using: Grammarly. It's not fool-proof by any means. But it helps point out verbosity and write more clearly by helping me learn when my writing isn't as clear as it can be.
Why not? This makes government more efficient, and they’ll be storing the documentation electronically somewhere.

I say this as someone cautiously optimistic about government improving its technology service delivery. We should be cheering efficiency, not nitpicking it.
And you last sentence is exactly describing the issue I have. This merging of exception handling and rejection handling into one function call feels like a bad idea.

As initially I thought catch() is only handling promise rejections. Then suddenly I ended up in the catch() although the Promise resolved fine, just to learn that my handleResolve code threw an exception. Unsurprisingly my handleReject code was not prepared for this.
You would think so, but this is not accurate. Graphs for proportional rate of preterm birth vs mother's age: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure/image?id=10...

Both have a minimum in the early 30s, a decade off from these numbers. Granted, there's likely some confounding due to poverty rates vs age of pregnancy, but the data simply does not support the conclusion that 20 is the best, healthiest age for a woman to bear a child. There's still some development and biological maturation going on into the 20s.
That's just stepping up tactics: most bots aren't engaged with, you hook someone then you use that opportunity to make yourself appear valid. You only need one person doing this for a sea of bots.
Google notes...

> “But we’re also concerned with the irregular way this investigation is proceeding, including unusual arrangements with advisers who work with our competitors and vocal complainants."

There are two interesting things, to me, about this. First, as Google has expanded into many more things it's hard to find consulting technologists who don't complete with Google in some manner. For example, Google has a web site builder for businesses. It could be argued any web developer is a competitor.

Second, the language use of "irregular" and "unusual" is interesting. I wonder what is unusual here. The specifics. Or, is this language meant to make us feel or think something. The US government regularly uses contractors and consultants. Is that unusual in investigations like this? How unusual are investigations like this?

What is a "family"? Should a business adjust the salary based on how many members you have in your family? If one person has 10 kids and another has 2 they have drastically different requirements. An only child with a well-off family might only be taking care of themselves whereas another child might need to also be taking care of their parents and grandparents who also need to pay for medicines in addition to taking care of their younger sibling who isn't old enough to work yet.

The variety and complexity of "enough to feed their families" is crazy.

"My point was that 63% is still very bad, and if it’s supposed to be an improvement, then the existing system is abysmal from an incentive perspective."

This is fascinating.

There is an entirely separate debate about tax rates and incentives for high income tax payers wherein it is suggested that marginal income tax rates almost identical to the 63% you are speaking of are fair, equitable, common-sensible and could not possibly deter earners from pursuing extra marginal dollars.

I have no comment to make about either debate.

I simply find it fascinating that an exactly opposite conclusion is made depending on the subject involved ...
Given the power that these people wield, and the frequency with which they misuse it, while I agree there could be downsides, I absolutely think the benefits outweigh the risks. I don't even think it's a particularly close call.

We're not talking about private individuals discussing private matters informally here.

For me it said a lot. Because he doesn't stop at the title, it's not a tweet, he goes on to properly explain what he consider usefulness and how to achieve it. And the idea that I should aim to being useful and not persuasive is pretty powerful to me. I do think is more ambitious to be useful in the way the described than just persuasive.

Complete layman to this, but are these approaches fundamentally incompatible with one-another, or is it just that each one on its own seems to be “enough” to get a reactor to work? Could you have a reactor that just combines all these confinement approaches at once?
I think this deletes an important sentence. The comment about saying Pike's peak is in the centre of Colorado being inaccurate and that you can only say it's near the centre is showing an example of precision and correctness being opposites. You've lost the point of the example in your paragraph and the sentence suddenly seems like a completely random insertion.
Here's an interesting thought. Let's say that the number of possible antibiotics that can be discovered is so high that bacteria cannot simultaneously be resistant to all of them (plant immune systems, which involve a lot of small moleculea, indicate that this may be possible). Then, this game theory trap where stewards are guarding what we have so that pharma doesn't want to make anything new is both pointless and self-perpeuating, because we will never reach the point where we realize we've beaten resistance.

Probably because the better approach would be to stall the processor (or at least stall on power intensive instructions) until the requisite power has arrived. 1000 instructions is probably too far out (in terms of instructions) for compilers to accurately add the requisite instructions. Also, it requires code change, unlike the stalling approach. The only disadvantage to the stalling approach would be if the workload is constantly switching between low power and high power, but that can be solved by making the switching interval longer/shorter in the firmware.
I thought that @Beeonarope had shown that avx2 instructions do not clock down at all. It was only AVX-256 and avx-512 that did.

It's a bummer, from the headline you'd think the ML designed a molecule and tests with it showed results, instead it compared known drug interactions against available compounds, sort of a rainbow table matrix. You know, what researchers already do for a living.
Immediate reason for not giving up documents: Google is worried about leaks involving their search algorithms, which are very closely guarded (and for good reason - it's been their bread & butter up to now.)

We need more drugs against the inevitable fight against drug resistance.
I don't disagree which is why I mentioned that I felt the data does show an arrow towards the world warming, but that is a personal feeling based on a personal assumptive conclusion based on the research I have seen. There are still serious questions about how much of that is natural cycle and how much we are doing. We know we are doing some, we don't know how much, but we keep saying that this is settled science when more valid questions need to be asked.
I certainly agree that the two party system, and correspondingly, the first-part-the-post district system, is crippling the US political system. Proportional representation in Congress and some sort of ranked or approval voting system for the president and similar offices, would do a lot of good.

I certainly think it'd be good if the Democratic and Republican parties both disappeared, but it's not true that both are equally corrupt or equally guilty to the problems facing the US. It really is since Reagan that economic inequality started to rise, middle class wages stagnated, and national debt started to spiral out of control. It's absolutely true that the Democratic party has been controlled by its conservative wing, with presidents Clinton and Obama not significantly changing the neoliberal direction set out by Reagan. Even so, the current economic recovery in the US was started by Obama, and that's what Trump is currently benefiting from.

But if voters want real change, the progressive wing of the Democratic party would be a better bet than voting for increasingly conservative Republicans.

Wine is kind of a clone of Windows, and available to everyone. But in general Microsoft and Apple change their desktop OSs so fast that it's impractical for cloners to keep up. The clones will always have compatibility problems and fail to support some applications software. Just implementing the published APIs is insufficient because there's so much undocumented behavior.
I disagree completely.

If there were real transparency, the public can also, in time, grow together with their politicians, and understand why certain decisions must be taken, and can help the public take a more active and measured role in their own government.

Controlling the actions of politicians who explicitly act against the public interest is at best a minor win. Open and honest dialog is the much more important aspect of this.

And the best case of this is - a politician working for the public interest convinces people to be mindful of their long term goals even when it contradicts their short term goals.
