So we didn't pick specific repos, but we crafted a function based on some metrics we we're using from Github that had a sharp drop off after a certain point and basically -any- super common or well known repo would be down ranked based on those metrics.

I can appreciate your thought on that but we're not necessarily geared towards the most common per se (though this might be me misunderstanding what you mean) as we have experienced multiple times the most common result being wrong or outdated and the way things are now it takes a long time for those to slide out of the rankings.

We've been asking around for a while now to flesh out what our actual thought is and the description for the problem we're solving right now is "information staleness", you search for something and it leads you to a reddit post but that's outdated by 5 years and then you wind up actually having to do a deep dive and it turns out there was actually a more accurate post from a year ago but it just hasn't crept up to the top yet because everything references the 5 year old post.

With our alpha we actually think we went too much in the other direction we focused on it all being super super new but the reality is there is nuance between different topics for what timeframe information decays in, if that makes sense, and now we're for the beta trying to strike a better balance.
Being apathetic and selfish are some attributes that both assholes and top billionaires exhibit. I'd say it’s not so black and white and people will perceive what being nice means to them differently depending on their social economic status since people of lower economic status tend to be more susceptible to emotions than a business person.

> There is plenty of work showing that physical endurance increases after extended periods on keto

Not really.

Yes, athletes do suffer an adaptation, but it's basically about returning to near baseline levels (i.e. from sucking badly to sucking less). And as a matter of fact, the peak performance never recovers to full capacity ;-)

Here's a list of studies on this subject — all of them showing a dicrease in performance:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2279002/

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14967870

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113752/

There's also this one that shows no difference in endurance performance at low/moderate intensity, a far cry from your claim:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6865776

And endurance exercise could see a benefit in some circumstances, although this is highly debatable, however also in athletes a keto diet can lead to lean mass being lost:

And then when guests know this about the rating system, a lot of them will go even further to avoid giving a low rating because they don't want to harm the hosts' livelihoods unless something truly outrageously bad happened.

Just like a lot of people I know will tip 20% on a restaurant bill without even reflecting on the level of the service, because it's so ingrained into people that wait staff rely almost entirely on tips for their livelihoods so people feel guilty using this quality signal mechanism the way it was initially intended.

This is exactly how I read reviews on Airbnb and Booking.com. "Great location, friendly staff" and nothing else almost definitely means a very shitty place at a nice location.

Speaking of which, despite its horrible UI somehow I find Booking.com to be more reliable than Airbnb in this regard. I think Airbnb's game of mutual reviews (that are not published until both parties agree) eventually proves to be disfunctional and useless. Booking.com gives the clients the freedom to say anything without the fear of retaliation. Of course there will always be very unhappy customers even if the place is amazing, but at least you know you can rely on the averages and specifically the wording of the reviews.
What works for me is using my headphones/earbuds on a laptop in a room that doesn't have other distractions. The audio quality of the recording makes a huge difference. Bad audio is a killer.

Same here. My problem is allocating dedicated time to sitting and watching these things. I'm fine with meetups and conferences, as I commit to them in some concrete way. I stash my devices and give the speaker my full attention for however long it takes; but for videos, at best I start it in a browser at work and within 5 minutes it's just running in the background and within 15 minutes I've usually been pulled on enough work-related priorities that it dies, paused, in its browser tab.

There are two things being conflated, eating cheap keto and eating vegan keto.

Cheap keto its eating tons of eggs, berries, cauliflower, zuchinni and soy beans. Eggs are really the main thing though...tons and tons of eggs. Luckily there are hundreds of different ways to make them.
Yesterday, I read the US had 100 confirmed cases, and had tested 500 people.

Trump fired the a big part of the CDC that deals with pandemics back in 2018 and hasn’t replaced them. I don’t think the US government will make any serious effort to contain it, despite the recent theatrics from congress.

Not testing sick people will inflate the official mortality rate. If the disease hits 70% of the population (projection from yesterday), there will be more panic than there should be. Last I heard, WHO (poor testing on average) estimated 3.4%, but in areas with thorough testing, it looks closer to 0.6%.

This does work, and I do it, but it's a bit uncomfortable over long periods of time and the video resolution isn't as good as on a normal display.
A pebble? Not likely, and certainly not with the hyper low interest rate environment.

There were lots of rocks larger than pebbles over the last few years: China trade war with escalating tariffs, global trade anxiety, Trump political chaos (Russia and generally), impeachment, Middle East chaos, US / Iran, US / North Korea (daily, escalating threats of nuclear war), Brexit. None of them derailed the market from pushing higher.

It required a boulder precisely because of the interest rate environment. A pebble would not have done anything. China's economy just got put into the freezer for the past two months, the global economy is under serious threat, and even now the market remains very richly priced. It might yet require something even larger than a boulder to take this market down fully.

I did notice that the last review I left isn't actually displayed on the site. It was far from negative, but I did leave 4 stars and note the extraordinary thinness of the walls, as it made hanging out inside of the apartment a bit of a exercise in stealth. Strangely, review was never listed.

Just as an additional data point...

I started out with FreeNAS ~18 months ago but I'm not sure at the moment which version that was (I could check later). About a year ago, I updated to 11.2-U2 and just two days ago I've updated to 11.3-U1.

Since the beginning, I've had the "freenas-boot" pool on a pair of USB3 flash drives -- I don't recall which manufacturer/model I'm using but I did specifically buy "higher end" flash drives to use for this purpose. I do a weekly scrub of the "freenas-boot" pool and, thus far, I've experienced no issues with them whatsoever.

FWIW, it's very rare for me to actually log in to the FreeNAS system to make any changes or perform any "administration". I set it up initially and, since then, I've mostly left it alone and it "just works".

There is probably a similar issue in academic grade inflation. I'd be curious if professors have any strategies for dealing with this (aside from resorting to more traditional word of mouth approaches).

AirBnB and similar platforms have business models based on quantity of transactions, not quality of experience. If you can obscure an honest assessment of the quality, you can increase the quantity of transactions (at least in the short- and mid-terms). Inflation of ratings and hiding bad reviews are not accidental, that’s their business model.

FWIW, the minimum requirements call for 8 GB of RAM, with 16 GB as the "minimum recommended".

Your comment and the sibling comment are both saying this is an all-or-nothing situation with no degrees of variation at all. That flies in the face of pretty much all other data science, so I find it hard to believe.

> If AirBnB was more up front about expectations it would make their review system a lot better.

I guess from a strategic point of view it might look better for the AirBnB's and Ubers of this world to have lots of '4.7 out of 5' ratings than 'xx% of people wanted the service provider to be punished', especially to first-time users. But yeah, if Uber in particular wanted to honestly represent what the ratings actually represented it'd be a simple upvote/downvote.

Ironically, on platforms more focused on allowing consumers to choose based on qualitative reviews than penalising based on quantitative scores, I tend to find 4* reviews are much more likely to be well-informed enough to influence me into buying the product than the 5* ones, as well as more likely to be a genuine reflection of the purchaser's sentiment.
I think the issue is how you'd find enough people sufficiently "clean" that 66mg-100mg would be a big dose. Most people don't keep track of their caffeine ingestion at all, but downs big cups of coffee at uncontrolled intervals.

For my part withdrawal from going cold turkey is absolute hell unless I'm travelling or otherwise majorly changing my routine. Like with many other drugs, despite the severe physical effects, caffeine withdrawal is very dependent on mental state as well. I always tends to minimize or totally stop my caffeine intake when I go on holiday or visit family etc, and I don't notice any of the normal withdrawal effects.

If I for whatever reason want to "reset" outside of travel, I'll try to step down, and pre-emptively take a paracetamol/acetaminophen early evening because I tend to start getting shakes in the evening if I reduce my caffeine intake too quickly. Cold turkey is too brutal for me.

People don't seem to realise just how much caffeine can affect them. It can be incredibly useful, but like you I find it weird that people consume it ad hoc without carefully managing the doses. I suspect a lot of people spend a lot of time miserable without realising why because of it.

That's exactly the kind of rule system I had in mind, and it seems like it would fit into the scheme of the OP. Thanks.
> The definition is that sqrt(x²) = x, which has positive and negative solutions in x for any x² > 0.

When people write "sqrt", they mean the function, or, "principal square root". "A square root" is a different thing. Saying "the definition" makes sense only within the context where the definition is established, otherwise we have to fallback to the common usage. Wittgenstein would laugh at this conversation.

Also, I'm not arguing for this convention ("it needs to have a single formula to be a function"). And when you start substituting symbols, almost nothing withstands this test. Because then you can always always twist the formula into several cases. And generally thinking about functions as something that is defined by formulas is a very limiting view. Almost all functions cannot be defined by formulas.
Yes. I had a nightmare Airbnb over new years (had to leave because my health was deteriorating) but couldn't leave a bad review because of course i'd get one back in retaliation.
> Anecdote #1: I can walk into the local branch of my bank - where all the staff know me - and withdraw money from my account without showing any form of ID, telling them my account number, or even stating my name. They know me, I just have to sign the form.

They shouldn't do that. I am not saying they don't but they shouldn't. And in this scenario, you've already established your real identity over time in order to open the account and regularly withdraw or deposit funds.

You didn't build this relationship in a day without any evidence of who you are. And then you are physically showing up, which is proof that you are the person they have been dealing with over the course of the relationship. You could have lied initially and established a lie over time, but that stuff happens in the KYC process as well. KYC isn't a perfect system and it's completely possible to 'lie'.

> Is that in the KYC regulations, or even the bank's SOPs?

I would bet that it is in the Bank SOPs to NOT do what you described. But, as a person that does a lot of compliance, it's inevitable that people will ignore SOPs or policy to some extent.
That is not the way the word is being used in this context.

As user volkk said, unfortunately it would be legally risky for me to disclose the identity of the investor. Which is pretty frustrating, because then you realize that when someone does something bad to you (legally/morally), there are very few (legal) ways to remedy it, especially if they have a lot more money than you.

I can say that he's not based in the Bay Area, so if you are raising money there it is very unlikely you will run into him.

I can also say that our best investors were RightSide Capital, based out of SF. They supported us throughout the whole ordeal with the company and even offered to buy out the other guy. They also said that, out of 600+ investments they had done at the time, they had never seen another investor act the way ours did.
I agree that sounds less harmful, but why not do something that's not harmful at all? Or maybe even beneficial? Getting a software job is so easy right now. If you don't feel like you're helping the world at all, why do it?
Sounds interesting. I think live audience and energy could be feedback but I could see how this could be a pro for shy people. I think starting out I’d be more comfortable to talk to a camera. But I’d be worried about the video and audio quality. Bad audio is a huge killer!

Maybe you could talk in front of the camera in front of a green sheet with your team and then screen record to sync up with it since not in a big room with a projector or maybe simpler if don’t have the equipment or space is just do like game streamers do and screen share with your face overlaid your desktop or switch back and forth. Sounds like doing a startup got to wear multiple hats including some video production.

For example there’s some YouTube vloggers who can talk to the camera like it’s natural but if they have to do any public speaking it feels different. I remember some channel I follow travel related was asked to speak at a meet up and then another YouTuber won a award and flew to New York to accept it. So you can talk to millions though the camera, but talking to a room with a few hundred or thousands is a bigger deal for some reason. Maybe because online more control and editing though... if you get sick or pronounce something wrong you could just edit it out and jump cut between

Related to this: I wonder if the days of founders naming their companies after their own (family) names are ever coming back. There’s something wholesome about it and it inspires confidence.

It's a mistake to assume opportunity is limited by race in this field and credentials aren't as useful as they used to be.
It is a good question to ask. I still am kinda struggling with deciding where exactly I stand on this.

In my case, it always seems to be some sort of invisible line that I can't quite articulate. For lack of a better term, it feels like transgression. For example, I give the business my credit card information, but I don't give them permission to use that card on anything other than that one transaction ( or more if recurring ). If I give them my phone, it is for the express purpose of handling my business. That phone is not there to be sold to the highest bidder.

For the record, I am agreeing with you. The waters are definitely muddy, but we need some sort of enforceable and enforced ground rules.
Lol that first read is fantastic.

Turn off wing anti-ice, fly around, if you get ice buildup you turn anti-ice back on?

Having anti-ice on decreases performance and increases fuel use. So being able to fly without anti-ice on for longer is better.
I imagine this technique would be most useful on the leading edge of wings and the engine nose cowlings.

On many aircraft those parts are left unpainted anyways.
I mean you can have some impact, but at the end of the day the variables you control are relatively minor in the grand scheme.
