>there's immense institutional pressure against any research that is critical of climate change

There's also immense institutional pressure against "research" showing the Earth is the center of the solar system or "research" that evolution isn't real. It's not a conspiracy if the pressure is fighting falsehoods.
Is this another case of The Intercept failing abjectly to protect sources? AFAIK that's one of the reasons Laura Poitras quit/was fired.
I think companies can do fun stuff. But probably only if PR is not involved. I've seen lots of clever ideas (not just pranks) from the bottom by the people knowing the product being axed by risk-averse higher ups.
While there are many large igneous provinces similar to the deccan traps (for example the siberian traps associated with the Great Dying), we don't really have any good evidence for large asteroid impacts comparable to chicxulub so it's tough to say with confidence what effects were directly the result of it versus coincidental.

It's always going to be more complicated than that.

There's a TON of un-used ex-farmland in the US, and across the world, which fell out of use because prices dropped too low (the entire eastern part of the US used to be farms, and has now reforested).

So if food prices rise enough, we're going to start re-farming marginal lands. The world is never going to "run out of food", probably not even enough to affect most Americans / Europeans notably, but will result in hunger in the third world -- but it's not like that's a solved problem right now.
Also, theoretical performance is overrated. Almost all the things that lends themselves to speed make code brittle and incapable of future modification.

Once you’ve got your C code doing safety checks with data types that won’t break under the littlest change, the code becomes much slower than code golf would suggest. A common example is passing void pointers everywhere. You either check every call every time (aka dynamic typing) or rush everything on the idea that the programmer understands the system completely and never forgets or messes up. Better types give you all the speed AND all the safety here.
One of the reasons I left software development as a career was I couldn't bear to keep shitting out products that were just barely good enough that the customer wouldn't return it. That's the quality bar in commercial software and I hated having my name on it. I'm more into refactoring it 20 times in order to get the perfect architecture, fix every last bug, find every performance improvement, make it not just work but make the code itself beautiful. Like the Steve Jobs quote:

“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

Obviously, this is totally incompatible with how most software is made in the industry, so I just do it as a hobby instead.
Lol, wow, there so much misinformation here. Practically anyone with a margin account can write naked options.

I have been working on a spread sheet on and off for a few weeks. The data exists, but you can't google the answer(s) I want, so I have been painstakingly putting it together, a few minutes here and a few minutes there.

I've been calling it my "curiosity killed the cat" spreadsheet. Small batch data science sounds so much more respectable while meaning basically the same thing, I think.
Oh, but notice that all those reported problems either have the "newcomers" word on them or are cases of your code having a worse structure due to it.

Also GHC now has features to revert all the bad structure problems cited there.

There is no wildcard advice of "use do notation" or "avoid do notation" possible. It's an incredibly handy tool, but you need to decide for yourself if it improves your code or not.
That’s what they attempt to focus on, but inadvertently introduce bias in terms of people’s proclivity to show up at the hospital for any given severity of issue.

People who present once for one thing are probably more likely to present a second time: either because they have a lower threshold for seeking help, they have overall poorer health and so present more often, or because they have a referring primary doctor who is biased towards admitting over treating outpatient.
I don't know.

You know something I had never thought before? "Hey, I have a business plan — and our target market is the poor."

I bought a tube of this ("Boka" brand). I can't personally vouch for its efficacy (not a dentist), but I find it extremely pleasant to use.

It has a much milder, non-minty flavor (I picked the ginger); the instructions indicate that you use it at night, and don't rinse, just spit. It doesn't taste "toothpastey" at all, actually quite nice, I don't mind leaving on my teeth overnight at all. I use a normal fluoride in the morning.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. However, the article doesn't make any such claim.

As someone who does not get paid to write software, I don't like it, but I definitely understand it and I don't think anyone's being a "bad guy" -- as power in software shifts from near-monopolies, e.g. Microsoft, to smaller individuals and groups creating software -- they're likely to prefer license that are easier to make money with, e.g. by doing something like "charging by the copy."
Seems like all of this is just a by-product of near-zero interest rates policy:

> NYT calling for more regulation as usual.

I couldn't find anything in the article that fits this claim. There are a couple lines that report on what regulators are already doing, but not calling for more.

> If stock markets weren't horribly over-regulated, would the VC industry even need to exist?

Emphatically, yes. The best startups in their early stages do not want thousands of mom&pop cheques and investors to manage, they want a small number of smart money, value-added investors. The need for public investors to have transparency into their investments is in conflict with an early stage startup's need to keep competitive information to themselves.
But tens of thousands of finished-ish products is a drop in the bucket compared to the total scale of FOSS software through Github/Gitlab. For GPL alone, a quick license search on Github reveals almost 2M individual repositories with that license. I'd wager that it's unlikely a majority of those would meet an include-in-a-distro's-package-manager level of polish.
If you were still trying to make a career in Flash development even ten years ago, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s hard to imagine a “tech worker” not able to see that writing on the wall long, long ago (and so my sympathy might be a bit lower).

Part of working in tech is that unless you are close enough to retirement that you have a clear glide path to ride your skills into the sunset, you need to be constantly learning/evolving.

There can be good money in obsolete skills but it’s like shooting the moon. You best be good at it and have a solid foundation for believing that organizations so fundamentally depend on that tech that it will be cheaper to pay you than to rebuild (looking at you, COBOL). Even then, I doubt those guys get to fully sit on their laurels (again, unless close to retirement).

> It does genuinely matter that a designer should take trouble and take delight in his choice of typefaces. The trouble and delight are taken not merely "for art's sake" but for the sake of something so subtly and intimitely connected with all that is human that it can be described by no other phrase than "the humanities". If "the tone of voice" of a typeface does not count, then nothing counts that distinguishes man from the other animals. The twinkle that softens a rebuke; the martyr's super-logic and the child's intuition; the fact that a fragment of moss can pull back into the memory a whole forest --- these are proofs that there really is reality in the imponderable, and that not only notation but connotation is part of the proper study of mankind.

- William Zinsser

Zinsser was actually talking about writers here. And it might be a bit hyperbolic, sure. But I think the fact is that people who love to program spend a lot of time staring at words, and given a chance they'll take interest in the clothes that words wear.
> With modern coding, though, where things are broken down into modular chunks, LP, I think, breaks down.

I wonder if it makes sense to blame our culture of extreme modularization here, rather than LP. Somewhere out there is a parallel universe where codebases are divided up into mostly linear chapters. The build system builds a hierarchical module tree out of it (in combination with compiler caches to speed up incremental compilation), but nobody actually looks at it.

> Given the fact that so many of my co-workers seem unwilling to create simple readme.md files that talk about how to build and run code, I think it would be a lot to ask for them to provide a guide to reading the code.

Well, there goes my idea :) Yeah, totally valid point. LP is perhaps more useful for those of us interested in practicing code exposition (with lots of secondary benefits) rather than as something for a whole org to buy into.
It's hard for me to decide if I am okay with that, because the Stock Market is indeed a casino. Or if I am troubled since the Stock Market is not supposed to be a casino.
I use Vim for basically everything too. I do find it a bit irritating that most GUI editors do tabs within splits, instead of splits within tabs as Vim does it. I guess the behavior of tabs within splits is baked into most GUI APIs and frameworks so deeply that it would be virtually impossible to change at this point though. Oh well.

I'm more irritated though that Vim has nice keybindings for any sort of changes you might want to make to your tab and split setup. I don't think any of the GUI tools support keyboard commands for any of that. Or at least if they do, I haven't been able to figure out what they are, and am probably honestly too lazy to try to develop muscle memory for how they work.
>For instance, convolutional neural networks trained on millions of images can fail when they see objects under new lighting conditions or from slightly different angles or against new backgrounds.

The big picture is humans use a multi-task network for depth, segmentation (and background removal), lighting source estimation (and shadow removal), material extraction, SLAM (and geometry reconstruction), optical flow, etc.
Papers and their networks only look at a small part of what humans do; we are not just using a single "neural network."
My point is the government isn't "protecting" anyone with these regulations. They will happily watch you spend your life savings buying lotto tickets (not an investment) but if you actually want to put that money into a company, you're going to be scrutinized.

An even better example are the accredited investor laws, which also claim to "protect" people but in reality cut off all but the wealthy from the true upside to investing.

Limited government was certainly Jeffersons aim:

"The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."

Washington seems to agree, for example this quote from his farewell address:

"It is important that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position."

As far as the white paper, I mixed up Cisco and IBM in my head on that.
As far as “mandated”, laws and policy mandating back door access have been shot down repeatedly in the real world.

I agree with the command discoverability. Not only does prefix+? show you the commands, it is also searchable, and if you use vi-mode, it uses the same search commands.
When you're employed by a corporation, to what degree are you an individual and to what degree are you an extension of that corporation?

Microsoft isn't a person or individual. For MS to support something...really means some hundreds of individuals inside MS support a thing and have coordinated to communicate that support to the other hundreds and BOOM, MS now supports a thing (or doesn't).

All of this is about permissions, ownership, and labeling. I'm inclined to think the corporate world has it all wrong.

MS supported this by virtue of MS employees doing it. MS was also schizophrenic about it and smited its left-hand for not properly filing a request in triplicate with the brain.
> The PR flacks, on their own, tried to clean up and bury the whole thing, out of fear that BillG might get really angry about it. (He never did. Nor did Legal. In the end, it was all a huge overreaction by PR.)

Not sure where you got "Even Bill wasn't happy with this"
These days if a company isn't growing faster than the population its garbage. It isn't enough to have a consistent value proposition that some X% of the population will spend on. This isn't a sustainable viewpoint so we pop the bubble periodically and start again. MS' os is better than it ever was, but its competitors more than caught up. They still define the data formats of business to some extent with office. And their IDE group is the best for the languages they support. Perhaps with the exception of clion. But that is kind of a stable boring story.

In this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030057121... they study some difference between the Zinc-nano-Hydroxyapatite vs pure nano-Hydroxyapatite.

But zinc-hydroxyapatite in BioRepair may not be some Zinc-nano-Hydroxyapatite.
They are the same compounds but the size of the crystals are not the same.
BioRepair is advertised as "microRepair".

The size of the crystals seems to matter : smaller crystals are better as they allow to get inside smaller holes to fill them, but probably also more expensive to produce.

>"It can be supposed that the application of CHA nanocrystals 20 nm sized allows a better mineralization in the lower surface fissure, because the interprismatic and prismatic enamel structures appear totally hidden. Using an equal time of treatment, the application of CHA nanocrystals 100 nm sized produces the formation of a homogeneous coating which hides interprismatic and prismatic enamel structures when examined with SEM."

Toothpaste is kind of a complex mixture that also depends on the PH and the interaction with saliva to work. Therefore probably only specific studies between the full products using a microscope could tell the better products.

As a final note, the tooth mineralization is a tug-of-war (dynamic equilibrium) between demineralization and remineralization, this means that using more effective products should be used carefully and not as an excuse to compensate for bad behavior like excessive soda consumption throughout the day.
I absolutely second the suggestion of working through the math of a shallow neural network to start.

I would also suggest that once one thinks they have a sufficient grasp of the steps to try to implement them at a low level without frameworks, just math libraries. Personally, I found Octave (highly similar to MATLAB) to be a nice granularity tier for learning the process programmatically.

I disagree. If you open a probability textbook they'll recite the same thing. But in actual colloquial usage, gambling usually implies a lack of statistical edge and rigor.

I should also mention some other things I have tried or still use: Kinesis Advantage2, Vimium, i3/sway, better chair, better posture, neck/scalene stretches, less laptop keyboard use. It all probably helps in some small way.
