> when I worked for a financial institution, the history was not really considered. It was assumed to be factored into the score

I would appreciate the specifics. You can email them to me if you want. Handle at gmail.

In my personal experience, the history is absolutely considered when the risk to lender is high.

$50k unsecured loan? Sure. 780+ score? Good to go.

When I apply for a $250k loan from a lender with billions of dollars in reserve, they look at cashflow and the score. If I have a 780+ score on the day they pulled the score, I qualify for preferred rates.

When I apply for a $250k loan from a local credit union with a few million in reserve, they look at income and the history. Even if managed to have a 780+ score on the day they pulled the score, my little games from 90 days before to game the FICO model draws scrutiny and my rates are normalized to rates sans if I didn't play those games (which I dont anymore because the local credit union has the best deal always).
"South pole winterover" is a much more specific thing than "polar expeditions", but yes as the sibling suggests, the tradition at S Pole is to watch The Thing after the last flight of summer leaves.

My year also tried to institute a "Con Air" viewing before the first flight, mainly as a poke at the previous crew, but I'm not sure that stuck.
Yeah, this is a pretty common affliction among well-to-do Americans, and I just do not understand it. Remember when Sam Altman said it's easier to discuss controversial ideas in Beijing than San Francisco?
> Don't legally recognize gambling debts. If people lose a bet they can pay it if they want to, but the law wouldn't recognize or enforce the debt.

Correct, and you take it a step farther. People don't pay even if they want, both parties engaging in gambling are penalized.
That is the point. There are people who want to go somewhere but congestion is making them not go. Eventually you get a head of it and things are free flowing while everyone gets where they want to go. In middle of nowhere rural area everything is this way. In big dense cities you would need 30+ levels of bridges (at much great expense per user than rural gravel roads).

I will fully agree that cities should build something other than bridges and parking garages. However induced demand is not a factor because cities that are not ahead of so called induced demand are leaving behind (part of) the great advantage of a cities over rural areas: the vast amount of different places you can get to in a short time.
However, biased antibody studies (no self-selection criteria) that may have high rates of both false negatives and false positives do not represent anything about the current level of estimation whatsoever.

Which is why when these studies happen, the public is told to wait for it to be assessed, rather than pretending all of us are remotely qualified to judge the content and draw conclusions from it about what actual risks the general population might be facing.
I'd say that certainly has some of the elements I'm thinking of, but what I'm describing is a little more spreadsheet like
Of course current implants are really bad compared to natural hearing, and only implanted to people whose alternatives are even worse. The technology I'm talking about doesn't exist yet.

I arrived at this view because humans are a visual species. Even if you can build a digital camera that's as good as the eye or better (currently you can't, at least not at the size of the eye), the task of processing the data so that it can be used for nerve stimulation would be beyond any computers at reasonable sizes. On the other hand, we can build really good microphones that are more sensitive than human ears and can do a ton of processing that makes such a device worthwhile.

The optic nerve has 770k-1.5M axons while the cochlear nerve has only 30k. Over a magnitude of a difference.

So I believe that a augmented reality kind of experience with devices built under your skin will be limited to ears first, simply because it's easier to pull off technically. Everything else would still have to travel through your pupils in some fashion. 2OEH8eoCRo0 was talking about technology under your skin. Google glass, vr glasses, or even lcd screen contact lenses wouldn't fall under that definition.
Gambling is strictly harmful to society. There is no reason it should be permitted. It's quite straight forward.

Depending on the nature of the virus and how the PCR test works with it, I couldn't rule out that it could be much longer than that. Virii are not my area, but there are bacterial diseases that result in positive PCR years after infection. Disclaimer: microbiology is also not my area.

There was one site that had something like 100(?) brain teaser exercises - I suppose you could also call them puzzles - which became successively more difficult as you moved on (ie, hours to figure out just one of them). Each was distinct and challenged you in a different way. I only used the site once, around the early 2000s, but I forgot its name and never found it again.

Jira can be highly customized. I find it easy to use for day-to-day. I also have to deal with Jira with a subsidiary company, and their Jira is completely different, but it works well for their use case.

The reporting is a whole other issue. I don't use this, but my PM does because upper management keeps changing their reports and my PM has to keep linking and organizing. But as a developer, doing spring planning and burndown charts work quite nicely.
That makes no sense, considering how highly optimized QuickDraw was.

Back around 1981, advertisers would take a certain percentage of ad pages in each newspaper or magazine and consider it a reasonable deal. These days, they absolutely will not accept this unless they get a lot more space, obnoxious animations, force-play videos, and overlays that you have to click through, and often various registration walls, cross-site tracking, etc.

They have only themselves to blame for ad blocking. With ML, eventually this will become pervasive, even into the physical world. (My VR goggles will gray out billboards, etc.)

If you want to base your claims about what we should do in the future on totally arbitrary analysis of the mood of people in the past based on a competently unrepresentative analysis then that I can't stop you.

Again, the Gold standard is what mattered the most and the New Deal got credit for a lot of that. This is pretty much the opinion of the waste majority of economics study on the this subject and fits in with global story of the Depression. Rather then a incredibly narrow US focused explanation political history wants to tell you. FDR got credit because he took over the administration right on the global back-swing and he used the opportunity to politically redefine the country. That is why it is remembered so well, much more then actual experience reports from back then.

Why mass destruction of food, stopping the recovery and being declared unconstitutional does not count as a failure is beyond me.

That ECB link gives the latest rates. They also have one that give the last 90 days of rates [1].

There is a more general system for accessing ECB data that includes a vast amount beyond exchange rates, described here [2]. I think that lets you get anything they have in their statistical data warehouse. (If you don't need to get it programmatically, they have a web GUI [3]).

The general system is also vastly more complex to use. I was quite happy when I found that 90 day link and did not have to deal with figuring out how to get what I wanted out of the general system.

All of my friends who dropped out did so because of the math. The actual computer science courses were enjoyable. Discrete math was particularly challenging on purpose and so was our specific calculus classes we had to take. This was just to weed people out I heard.
I would have guessed your reason too as that’s why people didn’t like AP computer science when I took that, but in my experience it seemed like math is what gets people and honestly that’s what I struggled the most with too. It was just an absurd amount of work on top of my other classes and it wasn’t enjoyable work either.
Great, I'll take a look in a bit, although it might take me until tomorrow to have time to do much with it.

In the meantime, I'll mention that my first quick discovery is that clang seems to be significantly faster than gcc on the standard C code. The ratio changes with different versions and compilation options, but on Skylake with "-Ofast -march=native" I find clang-6.0 to be almost twice as fast as gcc-8. So if you have clang installed, check and see if it might be a better baseline.

Also, what system are you running? This shouldn't make a difference with execution speed, but will make it easier to make tool suggestions. If you are running some sort of Linux, now would be a good time to get familiar with 'perf record'!

Hmm, that's a "Braswell" part, which unfortunately isn't covered in Agner's standard guide to instruction timings (https://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf) and I'm not familiar with it's characteristics. This might make profiling a little more approximate.

Thank you for your reply, but I never claimed an ad hoc fallacy? Nor did I claim infallibility? I am insinuating the disregard for novel therapies in a pandemic because there is no data conceived (ad hoc dismissal or excuse), and not because of an intuitively perceived judgment on its harm, which is readily discernible from the collection of scientific literature on alcohol inhalation I have found and can share, is a testimony to healthcare bureaucratization.

For instance, the banning of nebulization in hospitals for fear of viral aerosolization published in a faulty NEJM letter[1] is preposterously cautious. By this logic, Lysol disinfectant sprays ought to be banned too, even though it’s recommended by the CDC. So this “arrogance” you sense is probably because it is apparent to me I am hungrier to save lives than (many) doctors and hospital administrators who won’t take a chance to even measure the risk to accumulate much needed experimental evidence; even if their patients are willing! Hippocratic Oath is the retort.

Frankly, “no data no dice” does not cut it when confronting such a global humanitarian challenge. The medical profession appears to be just that - licensed occupational employees motivated about retaining their jobs. Hence my snarky expectation that this will be an easier, ie quicker, sale if/when the nebulizer has been rubber stamped by the FDA. No one was ever fired for buying IBM

> Antibodies are definitive proof of a previous infection, which is what I was talking about.

When the studies in question have a high rate of false positives, that is absolutely not the case. It may simply be a statistical anomaly, from taking the incorrect confidence interval.

Currently, from the studies taken, it looks like we have high rates of both false negatives, and false positives. Which means that the testing does not give you an accurate picture of whether a population group has previous infections or not.

I think your point about different universities giving different focuses on math/real world tool, etc is a great point. I’ve heard of an incredibly broad range of “computer science” degrees from various universities.
I’ve recently noticed some Hulu shows that let you know you’ll see ads even if you subscribe to ad-free Hulu.
I think there’s a chance it will be different: at least now there is the potential to offer customers an ad-free package for an extra cost. Some services like Hulu already do this (offering cheaper plan with ads and a slightly pricier plan with no ads). I think with cable this would have been difficult or impossible to achieve.

One nice thing about this is it makes plain how much the networks make from showing ads to your household. I happily pay a little extra to “outbid” the ad networks.
I got a drivers licence as I was pushed by my parents to, but I hated it. The thought that a small mistake of mine would end up killing someone. Now I'm married with children, living car-free and I'm loving it. My children can't stand being in a car, and since they are not used to it they puke anytime they have to drive more than 5 min. I can't imagine how many children are forced to ride a car and get sick until they just "suck it up".
I have zero trouble understanding that owning a personal car may not make economic sense in many cities. I have more trouble really grokking the no driver license. So many trips associated with both work and vacation experiences--or even weekend activities outside of a city--require renting a car. I guess you can consciously avoid those situations but it seems very limiting.

(Certainly I couldn't really have done jobs I've had without being able to drive a car and would have missed out on many, many travel experiences including just visiting family.)
I have a controversial hypothesis about what creates freedom in nations: it's the self sacrifice of people willing to make others free. In the US it was the independence and civil wars. Then the lazy descendants carelessly waste this freedom until none left, and the nation folds into an authoritarian black hole or enough people start the new cycle by sacrificing themselves. In some sense, creating freedom is like donating all your money to a neighbor and they dying on streets.
One imagines you would have told Churchill the same thing. Or any other leader who used their platform to lift people up in their darkest hour so they do better than they thought possible.

We don't really know what took place in the "mind control" program, as the records were systematically destroyed [1].

One plausible interpretation is that these were mainly efforts in coercive control, rather than Hollywood style "mind control". We have extensive records of comparable efforts in East Germany [2], and it is reasonable to suspect that the American programs followed a similar thread of "research". Why wouldn't they? The tactics were apparently very successful.

If you buy that argument, then the cited examples are logical successors. It is very easy to dismiss "mind control" programs as a weird vestige of a bygone era, but I think it is unlikely that institutions drew no durable lessons from them.

Yes, I recently discovered "git cherry" in exactly that kind of situation.

In general I'm gradually sinking into "the emperor has no clothes" when it comes to git, at least on the subject of squashing vs painstakingly manipulating history vs accepting filthy history... But I also admit the amount of stuff you can do with git is so endless that I'm always surprised to find it has a good solution for a problem I never even considered tackling before it came up.
And nobody really positions it this way, but the big beneficiaries are really terrible foreign regimes. So from a national security standpoint and an environmental standpoint, the movement away is a huge win.

I hear this claim a lot but I question it's truth. I'm faster with formal tools than without.

For instance, this week I needed to build a distributed locking mechanism so a collection of asynchronous actors could only access resources in one region at a time. I described my two requirements in TLA+: only one zone at a time, and everyone who wants a zone eventually gets it (with the assumption nobody goes down forever - weak fairness.) I had several bugs which it caught, until I finally arrived at a protocol that was proven correct (at least for a handful of workers on a handful of zones.) It took around a day from start to finish, and now I know my design is literally flawless.

Sure, I didn't prove it in the general case, nor did I prove that my code implements the spec, but this was still extremely useful! Having the machine check your designs frees you from worrying if you've caught all the races and corner cases.
It's still alive where I am. Our eight hundred pound gorilla of its industry depends on another, lower eight hundred pound gorilla in a different industry, to the point of tying the version we are on (and one that is only rarely, carefully changed), to a X.Y.Z version of the gorilla below. Upper gorilla upgrades are expensive, frightful, and slow to come due to the cautiousness of the industry.

That second, lower gorilla comes with its own 2.Y.Z version of Python installed and a help page in a large, bold font explicitly forbidding upgrading that Python 2.Y.Z version, lest some dire things happen. And so in my little niche of the world, Python 2 Is Alive. I am not holding on out of stubbornness.

As I learned in a previous job, software lives for a lot longer than expected or even desired, like some declared extinct species popping up decades later.
I think this can be considered a scientific version of blameless postmortem.

There is no shame in making mistakes, and being honest about it should take us further as a society.
