Interesting. However, I disagree that if such a machine existed, people would lose motivation. They'd realize that the rational part of the brain is used just for rationalization and is not always actively engaged in real-time decision-making... but that's about it. They'd then beat the machine with little practice, regardless of how it is implemented.

I'd also like to add that Airbnb has become a pretty widely adopted verb. Once a brand becomes a verb, overtaking and unseating that degree of brand recognition becomes a feat that I can't recall has ever been done before.
You might run into the problem that it can be toxic at high doses.

In my anecdotal experience, there seems to be a huge variance in the amount of butter that people eat, among people who regularly eat butter.

Also, does it survive the heat of cooking?
Does the original implementation bias towards/against certain initial positions in the array? Could an 'attacker' try to insert himself at a specific location to gain more fame? My gut feeling is that any change in the rng would not fix the fundamental problem that a low iteration count biases towards the initial ordering. But does that even matter after hundreds of thousands of iterations? Is any improvement in rng just a performance improvement, in that it might give high quality results after fewer iterations?
I'm excited about the potential of this but I really hope they don't pull an A-mount on E-mount.

Your mention of “pro” makes me wonder - isn’t one of Apple’s big pushes to sell to professional designers, photographers, etc.? Don’t they realize that some huge percentage of engineers and tech workers use their macs? That’s a whole segment that quite literally builds and runs all the platforms where macs are advertised or talked about...where is the “pro” MacBook targeted at that segment? With advanced virtualization, strong dev tools, whatever. You would buy so much loyalty and word of mouth from people who set the standard for technology. Heck, who actually write the standards of technology.

The stakes during the so-called "Opium Wars" can be seen in the agreements made at the end of it [1],

- Several more Chinese ports would open up to foreign trade

- Chinese law would not restrict practicing Christianity

- Foreign diplomats would be allowed permanent stations in Beijing

- Foreigners would be permitted to travel within China

Not unique to Yelp and not their invention. The overall industry around utilizing dedicated phone numbers to measure effectiveness of ads goes back a while. This is collectively referred to as “Call Tracking”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-tracking_software

The term evolved well before the current “tracking” lingo.

The more usual examples included yellow pages ads featuring phone numbers that forwarded to the businesses and allowed publishers to count how many “leads” were sent. Apartment listings magazines used these extensively, car ads, etc. - pretty much anything print or direct response web.

While Yelps use case may raise ire, the base tech and many of the implementations definitely are not intended to device. For a long time, most were toll-free numbers, as local numbers were too expensive, especially before VoIP became ubiquitous.
Team-based incentives are not particularly common yet, though they are growing in popularity. It's pivotal that a team has some choice in who they are teaming up with in order to align motivations and incentives to achieve. A simplistic incentive is an autonomy based award. If a team completes a project ahead of schedule then they can spend the remainder of the allotted time to work on whatever they please. Sort of make your own 20% time. You can see how hard this is to get right though because if you let the product managers set schedules then they'll make the deadlines too short. If only the engineering team sets the schedule and is incentivized to come under schedule then they'll consistently over-estimate. Requires trust and balance between the team and the stakeholders.

All that said, when you talk to really high-performing teams many of them will say that they value just continuing to get to work with that same set of individuals. It's a reward onto itself to get to work with people whom you really enjoy working with.
I find such lists nigh unto useless. I don't have time to evaluate each project to see which one is the right fit for my needs.

We'd be better off if people did a deep dive analysis of just one of those categories.

I suspect that whoever constructs these types of lists does NOT have experience with each project, and thus there's bound to be plenty of projects that don't deserve to be on the list because they're just not ready for production usage.

I've long been advocating prison abolition, a component of which is police abolition. When discussing such matters I often will ask people what measurable line in the sand must be crossed for them to believe sweeping systemic change is necessary. My anecdotal findings are that either people will set the bar absurdly high, meaning that they believe the only circumstance that requires system change is an active mass extermination program targeting a majority of the population or they will place the bar far below where we currently are now but then refuse to listen to any evidence that we have actually far surpassed that threshold, usually presenting an endless stream of weak, easily refuted arguments.
I think you're post was pretty clear. "Some people argue that X, but the data doesn't support X." Sometimes there can be a tendency for people to skim posts and try to quickly box people into Team A or Team B. It's not unlikely that some people read your first sentence (or even the first half of your first sentence) and pegged you for having a particular position without paying attention to the whole thing.

You're assuming that Google's algorithm treats a small restaurant website and a site like Seamless equally based on the same SEO ranking factors. That assumption ignores some important factors;

- Seamless have enough capital to buy the ad space at the top of every restaurant search. They'll always be at the top.

- Google weights things like inbound links highly. A massive site like Seamless will always win on those factors.

- Google allegedly considers domain and website age as important in pagerank. Seamless has an advantage over new restaurants there.

- Most importantly though, for all we know Google's algorithm could simply be biased in favor of Seamless. It's a black box. There could be a rule that just says "if (seamless.com) rank += 10000". If Google users prefer SERPs where that gets applied then it'll be there. There's no reason to believe pagerank is fair.

Your comment here seems familiar to me. I was raised Catholic, turned atheist in my teens, and then slowly fell into agnosticism in young adulthood. Now I don't consider any of those labels accurate of my beliefs.

Have you considered "exploring faith" in a practical/historical/contextual sense? Such as: why did religion ever become a thing/how did it come about? What ever was its purpose? Why are there (and what are the) recurring themes amongst all religions? Where did the ideas behind Christianity/Judaism/Islam/Hinduism/Buddhism/etc originate - what do they have to say about X? Are what various religions preach/practice today - what they preached/practiced thousands of years ago? What about ancient religious texts not mainstay of any particular modern religion? What about language, meaning, human nature, and time? What of these things change and what of these things don't change? Where do they fit together? What about historical non-religious philosophical secular ideas? And on, and on...

I’ve done this for myself and found some satisfaction in it, and would think most anyone would too. That said, do I no longer have any qualms? No. Do I now believe in God(s)? That would all depend on what concept you behold to "God(s)". But mortality seems less bothersome now...

... But what is the connection between Italy and the novel coronavirus considering the deadly virus is reported to have originated from China? The answer is fashionably simple. The northern part of Italy has been a traditionally prosperous region due to the flourishing fashion and garment industry. Most of the big global brands like Gucci and Prada have their base in this region. With China offering one of the cheapest manufacturing options in the world, it came as little surprise that most of these fashion brands were working with China. A large number of these Italian fashion and garment houses had outsourced their manufacturing to Chinese labour, specifically in Wuhan. Italy also has direct flights from Wuhan and reports suggest over 100,000 Chinese citizens were working in Italian factories. Chinese made a slow and steady move into Italy and many Italian fashion firms are now owned by them as well. As per a news report, there are more than 300,000 Chinese and over 90% of them work in the Italian garment industry.

Anecdotal experiences incoming:

I am moderately involved with various sinology students from Europe. And have traveled to China personally.

Personally I stayed at various AirBnBs within China and registered at the police in Bejing and Shanghai.

The host provided a signed letter confirming where we are staying. With that letter I headed to a local police station where I gave the letter and had to fill out a form with basic personal details and address of where I was staying.

In return I got a stamped letter confirming my stay.

Anecdotes from others:
People who have registered late for various reasons (finding apartment, inconvenient arrival combined with work, etc)

I have as of yet not heard anything experience other than the police saying please register on time next time and still got their stamped confirmation of stay.

One standout story however is someone who looked up a recent political dissident via Baidu and got a visit from the police, nothing really exceptional happened except he got visited at his apartment got told off, had to sign a letter confirming the visit and infraction.

The person in question has been back to china multiple times since.

I see registering your place of living is quite importand when dealing with local taxes. Ie when staying in one place for longer than some period of time, alos same information is used for social purposes, for example to assign your kids a place in kindergarten or school. It just so happens that this responsibility is assigned to police. By the way passport issuing is also i think is under police in LT. And yeah tourists who stay for long periods are handled with same subroutine (if i can say so). Stay at one place for prolonget period of time, please register.

The previous article should be required reading for anyone trying to understand how crazy this era is.
I remember seeing a small exhibit of slide rules including some cylindrical ones at MIT in the early 70's. It was in a few display cases in one of the older buildings (I think it was building 1, but it could have been building 5--they are connected.) We all had slide rules back then, mine was a bright yellow model made by Pickett and made of aluminum--it never operated as smoothly as the ones made of bamboo by K&E

I bought my slide rule in 7th or 8th grade with money I made from my paper route around 1964; I still have it and it functions just as well as when it was new.

I mentioned that we all had them, this was because there was really no alternative. Slide rules could perform all sorts of calculations, multiplication, division, exponentials, trig functions, all to an accuracy of around 3 significant digits. Computers existed, but terminals (with few exceptions) did not. Any calculation with a real computer required getting to the comp center and punching cards (any mistake on their funny keyboards meant throwing the card away and starting over). After that one would have to submit the deck to an operator behind a glass window. In ten minutes to an hour you would get the first result of running your program produced on fan fold paper, usually with green and white tinted background on the paper. The printing was done with a line-printer, often in upper case only.
Naturally, the first few attempts ended up with syntax errors and it was easy to waste a lot of time on simple calculations so the 3 significant digits of an ordinary slide rule started to look good enough.

Of course, we all also had (right next to our collegiate desktop Websters dictionary) a copy of the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables. This book, hundreds of pages long, had tables of logarithms and trig functions accurately to 5 digits which could solve these problems to 5 or 6 digits accuracy with careful interpolation techniques (which were taught in high school back then).

A year or two after I bought my slide rule I saw an early black and white episode of Lost in Space, a 60's TV show about a family lost on a remote planet. On the program the character Will Robinson was using a handheld calculator. It was pure science fiction device about the size of large 6cm thick hardback book. It contained a keyboard of perhaps 16 keys and a large, say 5cm, high display. I thought that it was so incredible, like the space suits and robots that appeared in the show. I wished that there was someway in the distant future that I would ever have such an amazing device!
Vaccines are the only way we can end the pandemic though. However great a treatment is, it won't stop anyone catching it or spreading it. If we're to be able to go back to anything resembling normal, we need to stop widespread transmission in the population, and the only way to do that without these restrictions is for an effective sterilising vaccine.
Sync vs. Async vs. Concurrent vs. Parallel
I have another take on this. While I normally would agree with those sentiments, I usually don’t mind suggestions when I agree with them. I think Edge is objectively a better choice for most users than Chrome. Better privacy, built for Windows by the folks that build Windows, with all the advantages in power and efficiencies that come with being the only native browser. They’re just getting started but it’s always going to be first class on Windows. Given it also has the underpinnings of the browser with 70% market share, it really has it all. Microsoft in this case, is truly doing their users a service. All this said by a Firefox diehard.

How Much Does a Cell Weigh? (2012)
On the topic of service workers, doing it that way is an amusing concept, but service workers are strictly only for optional enhancements—you can’t guarantee the service worker will be run. The best-case scenario is that the second and subsequent links people open could be handled by the service worker.
