There were no Africans at all on the Mayflower.

EDIT:
The Massachusetts Body of Liberties seems to be the first body of legal code in Massachusetts
https://www.mass.gov/service-details/massachusetts-body-of-l...

And it's stance on slavery: "There shall never be any bond slaverie, villinage or Captivitie amongst us unles it be lawfull Captives taken in just warres, and such strangers as willingly selle themselves or are sold to us. And these shall have all the liberties and Christian usages which the law of god established in Israel concerning such persons doeth morally require. This exempts none from servitude who shall be Judged thereto by Authoritie."

The Constituion of Massachusetts (1780) also banned slavery.

This is inconsistent with your characterization of the Puritans.
Yep, another way to put it is that any NFT is worthless unless it is tied to some network effect.

This can be merely social convention, e.g. an artist announcing that this is his Ethereum address, or an auction house acting as an intermediary. But it could also be a network effect based on software, e.g., a game, or something in between like the original CryptoKitties.

However, I am sure a large part of the increase in productivity is due to fossil fuels. For example a tractor versus a horse is much better in farming, and electric tractors are much more expensive than diesel powered tractors.

Thus even their hypothetical would be better scenario doesn’t make much sense.

If you have a Linux box (or a VM), install and configure it to route mail and provide IMAP support. Digital Ocean has the best tutorials for this:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...

Then configure a new mail account in Outlook and connect to the IMAP server. It's optional, but convenient for replies, to configure the account to send via postfix if you have an internal SMTP server to connect to.

I gave up on email folders years ago, so at the end of the month would just create two new folders in the archive account (YYYYMM and YYYYMM_Sent) and drag all the mail from the Exchange account into the IMAP folders. Et voila! You now have your own local email archive.
I disagree here. We DO "learn them at a very early age, without being explicitly instructed by anyone and just by observing the world" the majority of information that a human ingests doesn't include direct actions upon the world (in any more than a philosophical sense anyway). We may feel as though actions are more memorable, but I claim that we observe than take actions, not the other way around. We learn things all the time that are not "consciously learned". Addition (e.g. 2 apples are more than one apple) is learned by most humans in an unsupervised manner far before labels are added later. I claim that early childhood development and thus much of our "foundation" is primarily rooted in having no explicit information AND not enough power to directly label data ourselves (through experiments, play, etc)

This is important because "learning without explicit instructions" in ML speak is Unsupervised learning (clustering and dimensionality reduction). There are no labels except the ones that you decide upon yourself (cluster membership). Unsupervised Learning is still far in its infancy in effectiveness compared to supervised systems, and it's no surprise that its algorithms are generally extremely easy to implement from scratch (e.g. K-means or DBSCAN) compared to relatively difficult work like automatic-differentiation in neural networks.

Learning by reading information in a book or by direct didactic teaching would be supervised learning. Learning through a dialectical format would be reinforcement learning . Self-supervised learning would be equivalent to autodidactic learning and the creative act upon the world. (maybe the distinction between self-supervised and reinforcement is arbitrary)

The point is that we want to learn as much as we can given the information available to us. We should not rule out the role that the biological analogue to unsupervised learning plays in human development.

It is for all of these reasons that I become far more excited when a new clustering or dimensionality reduction algorithm comes out than I am when a new neural network architecture becomes state of the art.
How do you mean about consulting? I do engineering consulting and small scale production. In my culture that sort of thing is common, I'm just a little salty about it because I did the work and someone else got the experience of the reward. Same with the NY maker faire awards 10 years ago. I did the work, I stayed home because my roommate had the flu and needed someone to look after her + I didn't want to accidentally get a bunch of people sick in case I caught it, someone else got to go on stage, receive the reward, get an interview in the new york times, etc. My experience was to get a little blue ribbon in the mail, looking at it, and then mailing it to my mom.
I was mostly treading water in my Portuguese practice for the past few years, before getting remotivated this year and making some decent progress.

I agree with many of TFA's points
> To learn a lot from reading, you need to read a lot, and for that you have to understand at least the gist of what you are looking at.

Reading was huge for me. After "speaking" the language for 5 years I finally read a full novel. I immediately noticed improvements in my writing and understanding. A few weeks later I finished reading a second novel and am now on to the third.

(I really recommend The Martian by the way, it seems like it's been translated a ton, and it's written in a mostly first person diary style so the tenses are fairly simple while being more engaging than kid's books)
Maybe farmers will finally stop voting GOP and hurting their own interests.
> The rise of ICOs and crowd funding provide a strong counterexample.

The crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS act are nearly a decade old now, which is the horizon of a typical VC fund. Has there been a single company that has returned well to investors? (Honest question, I haven't looked -- but I've seen some pretty suspicious looking pitches enabled by the act)

> Ideally the best startups would be funded by revenue and bank loans.

This is basically what happened before venture capital. If it were a more efficient way of funding startups, VC would not have emerged as an industry.
I find the PC hardware to be better too. Even dirt cheap PC laptops have touch screens with high quality pens included and are very easy to upgrade their RAM to 32/64 GB from Amazon.
It’s relatively easy to pay less taxes than your true compensation once you get past the rank-and-file level of employment.

As income taxes rise there’s a clear pattern of altered compensation like stock grants, expense accounts, etc.

For example, a company can lease an apartment for you to live in. That expense is a write off and isn’t subject to FICA taxes.

Instead of giving you $40,000 in cash which would cost 30% in FICA between you and the company plus personal income tax to you, you can live in a nice $3500/mo apartment you would otherwise be paying for in after tax dollars.

Instead of you paying $800/month+ for a Tesla model X lease with your after tax dollars the company can pay for it, write it off, and again they’re saving 15% on taxes and you’re saving > 40% on that $10,000 and pocketing more of your after tax income.
VW's main mistake is that their joke was something some people actually really liked. It burns a ton of goodwill. Many of their supporters may have even defended the idea. Now VW effectively told their supporters that VW thinks they are idiots.

I'm looking for full-time employment or contract opportunities. I've been writing code for over 15 years and have experience as a solo developer and in the non-profit world, as well as a manager of a small team of 5 staff/volunteers, but want to be able to focus on code. While I love Rails and have a long history with PHP, I consider myself to be mostly platform-agnostic as I love to learn: At my last position, I had to pick up Rails + Heroku and had the basics down in just about a week.

There may however never be an answer because humans will never agree on the veritas of the matter. E.g. the debate on when the small human life becomes a human life worth protecting.
Not your list, but I make .deb packages for my Django app using FPM, push these to our reprepro package server, and automate installation on VMs using Ansible.
I don't get all the backlash in this thread. There is truth here. The critique misses the mark a little by focusing on compiling and patches, but the analogy is sound.

I have a secure computing environment I can trust, a plethora of online nyms isolated into different VMs and IPs, my phone surveils me as little as possible, private email, tv/movies play easily and immediately, local music in good quality that plays out of nice speakers but can controlled by any handy device, conversations with friends that aren't being analyzed by surveillance companies, very little advertising exposure, secure non-cloud backups, security cameras that only I can view, etc.

But all of this took work to set up, and takes occasional ongoing maintenance. I certainly don't fault everyone whose primary focus is not computing for not expending the effort to be as Free. If we want Free solutions to succeed for larger adoption, it behooves us to recognize this barrier and improve the situation.
It’s just enough that enough of their constituents do for them to start caring. A lot of young people and people with kids already care a lot. If people can worry about the deficit 10 or 15 years down the line people can worry about climate change.
it's hard to say. there are indigenous Australian stories that have been preserved over 10,000 years that apparently have an accurate correspondence to the geological changes that took place over that time period.

But temporary -- and not all that long compared to the hell we've all had to endure for more than a year now -- except in extremely rare cases. Evidence to the contrary is welcome, after more than a year there should be some.
> why fMRI is often used as a planning step

It really isn't - see my other comment.

The other thing to consider here is unintentional media bias - when a lay publication wants information they tend to go to tier 1 research & academic institutions; exactly the sort of place that has all the latest new toys. This is often very far from typical practice. So people outside of healthcare hear about all sort of things that are a decade or more from general usage, even if they get there eventually.

From the outside, it's probably difficult to understand how conservative medicine is generally. Even effective new practices often take decades to become really mainstream.
Vitamin D supplementation has been "disproven" as an emergency treatment, not for prevention. I still think it's worthwhile, with or without COVID.

This is the best April fools joke I've seen this year.

The article itself is excellent. But the best part is the title is a so much better real credo than the "real" one it parodies.
Also try that on pornhub.... Half of reddit is a porn.
Right. I don't know how that played out exactly.

For the most part, that particular manager was fairly ok. I actually worked with him as a technical peer before he went into management, and he was super smart and effective. His personality was generally positive, and he was always pleasant to talk to.

But...he had a strong disciplinary streak to him. On the team he managed before my own, he got several people fired for making substantial, impacting but otherwise understandable technical errors. Those guys did goof up, and cause real problems, but the errors they made were within very technical, confusing and difficult processes. Specifically, related to the store relocation/renumbering flow, one where my team spent a quite a bit of time trying to smooth out and automate during and after.
The only value comes from where it is, in the middle of the keyboard, so that you don't have to move your hand. It's not a superior input device, but it does have superior compactness.

3) is way smaller than I think you believe.

It’s not that it doesn’t have any effect at all, but the raw ingredients themselves are what gets traded, and they are the cheapest bit for westerners — so much so that food prices were noticeably different moving from the UK to Berlin, even though I moved before Brexit.

If you’re actually focused on gaming the cheapest possible calories and nutrients, then it makes a difference; but even then, the last time I ran the numbers for that the best I found was (rice + lentils + frozen mixed vegetables), and the vegetables were both the most expensive and also grown fairly locally.
Just because he's sponsored does not necessarily mean he's wrong: he's been beating this drum for many years before the sponsorships came. Sort by date and check out the potato quality videos from long ago, and you'll see the same principles being talked about.

Though certainly, if you're going to do a build yourself, research any specific products to see if they meet your needs, functionally and monetarily.

In my experience, learning a foreign language is strictly a data game. Get as much input data as possible (hopefully with some sort of translation or aid), and keep at it. Textbooks don't help because you don't learn a language as a list of rules, being afraid of making mistakes doesn't help because it gets in the way of getting more data, and any sort of "quality over quantity" is the wrong approach.

Consume as much of the language as possible, as fast as possible, while still roughly understanding what you're reading. Don't do it so quickly that you have no idea what you're reading, but don't spend time trying to memorize each and every word and concept.
What is the problem? I am a white dude and I like Asian women. Nothing wrong there.

I do not see it as fetish at all. In fact, it is easier to date Asian girls for me. Hence, the preference formed.
Is there a ghost in the machine without/with a brain? ;)
Yes, constantly, and as wide a mix as interest and attention affords. I also try to read books from many different cultures and across a wide time span. Just reading books from the past five years impoverishes thinking, especially in fields like AI that have deep roots and where a current standard approach is stifling the imagination (as much as I likes using Keras and Tensorflow).
I suspect that we have some of it built in, even before we observe or act. Something in us starts us on the road of the hypothesis that time is a thing we can reason about.

The illusion of causality is incredibly strong -- so much so that it's really hard to get people to give it up, even when faced with paradoxes (First Mover, quantum mechanics, multiple causation, etc.)

We don't come into the world with a fully formed sense of causality, and it appears over the course of months. But at least some of it may be wired into the hardware, like the language instinct. It's just that the wiring isn't done the day we leave the womb, and is influenced by what comes after.
What's wrong with Arial?

I should be more aware of typography stuff, but which font (and why) would you use instead of Arial for, say, the Headings and normal paragraph in a technical report?
First of all I didn't say if it were racist or not. Secondly the default of mostly white women is because most movies/clips are of white women. There's nothing racist in the way the results are distributed. You could argue that there are more white women in porn because of racism but that is another topic. I'd like to hear how you see returning mostly results with white women on a search of "redheads" as racisme though.
You can certainly generalized previously gained knowledge without direct experience in that particular instance.

Would a child who has never experienced the human body's pain response be able to infer the causal connection between the heat of a stove and the response after touching it?

Arguably, language is a tool that allows us to generalize the direct experience of other agents. It is unclear if it is possible to remove direct interaction from a learning system and still reach the same level of understanding.
This is the correct answer. The masses will not tolerate buggy research code.
Their mistake was probably to hit “Send” by mistake 1 day too early in their PR machine.
