Never done Peloton, but I think the instructors will call out people by name to say they're doing great or "congrats on your 100th ride", stuff like that. I imagine that kind of live feedback can be very motivating. Even if you aren't personally being addressed, just knowing that the instructor can see you and is working out along with you is a very different feeling than watching a recording, and feelings are all that matter if you're looking for motivation.

Also, hyping people up is hard, and building a dedicated audience is harder. They pay a lot because if the popular instructors leave, so will the users.
The amount of RSUs that a VP at Netflix would have been awarded 2011-2015, the years this guy was there, would now be worth about 20 million dollars.

"while on the record" The problem is that he wasn't "on the record"... he was secretly recorded.

Meanwhile, the other side backs actual calls for violence from people like Maxine while clutching pearls over 6 hours of mostly peaceful protests in the capital.

Trump says mean things? bad things? OH NO! he's so much worse than democrats and "peaceful activists" who have caused billions in damage and killed many people.

I think that depends on the type of VC or the particular partner at the VC. Especially the ones that invest in later stage rounds and enterprise software companies. They don’t appreciate flip flops and hoodies. I think it is always best to err on the side of “conservatism” if you want to raise money. Obviously there are many VCs who talk openly about their regrets in missing out on rocketships like Facebook because of Mark Zuckerbergs arrogance.

I have always asked myself why a prerecorded video doesn't work just as well, it sure seems like it should, especially in these 1:10000 classes. Personally, and apparently for many others, it just doesn't. I really have no idea why, I can pontificate that it has to do with being on a schedule, or when they say your name or encourage you directly, but in the moment those things don't seem valuable. That being said it does certainly seem to nudge me to more action, which in exercise seems worth it if you can afford the price.

I don't own a Peloton, but I do spin classes, live online yoga classes and run and bike on my own. I will probably buy a Peloton if prices come down on the secondary market as the pandemic ends.
Depends on the agency. Nobody is going to not buy a Tesla because Musk angered the SEC, because the SEC protects an abstract public good. It’s a wildly different case when you get into a fight with an agency that protects public safety in an easy to understand way; even if you win the legal fight consumers might decide that your product is dangerous and to be avoided, a Pyrrhic victory.

Someone else here mentioned Tylenol, which is a good counter example. Aggressive and transparent moves in the direction of consumer safety can both save a company in a PR crisis, and actually turn it into a boon for brand good will and loyalty.

Casey Handmer has a related take: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/06/21/is-nuclear-pow...

> The reason solar is winning is because the manufacturing technology can be iterated every six months, so the learning curve is much faster. Nuclear power plant technology is iterated roughly every 25 years, or twice in the lifetime of a plant. Many first generation plants are still operational, while few third generation plants have been commissioned, and fourth generation plants are still in the planning stage. Even if every design iteration was a factor of 10 better than the previous one, solar, iterating 50 times faster, could outdo this improvement over the same timescale with a mere 5% improvement per iteration. Since this is roughly the solar learning rate, we can now ask if each nuclear design iteration is 10x better than its immediate predecessor. Obviously not.

There's definitely an argument that some part of that slow iteration speed for nuclear is political and unnecessary. Clearly if we built more plants they would iterate faster. But realistically at this point...is it going to happen?

in The Simpsons, yes.
What I want in TimescaleDB is aggregation of old values in the SAME table. There is no use when I have to do this in a seperate table, Grafana overhead will be insane.
We should be burning it instead of burying a viable energy source.
I don't think you need to worry too much about that, honestly. as far as bioweapons go mRNA is pretty involved.. if you need to inject your victim, that's already way too complicated. bioweapons are much more oriented towards tainting water supplies or air.
> Solar panels involve mining coal (so much more moving away from the coal economy)

I can't think of any use for coal in production of a solar panel, so is your argument here that manufacturing anything uses electricity and therefore coal?

That doesn't seem like a good argument. Especially given that a nuclear plant tends to involve a huge quantity of concrete (which gives off major amounts of greenhouse gases and requires mining as well).

> will pile up as toxic junk after 10 years or so.

The lifespan of a commercial panel is 25-30+ years (most look to be warrantied to 25)

Failure rates appear to be very low, per NREL: https://www.nrel.gov/news/program/2017/failures-pv-panels-de...

And in reality, many will continue producing power longer than that, just at a lower rate than their original nameplate capacity. I expect most of those solar farms will wind up in service for many decades.

Claiming that their lifespan is 10 years is something I feel needs some sort of supporting evidence.

Luckily, with the design of generics as it is now, we'll be able to add the parts that are missing from this proposal ourselves in custom libraries. And even if the Go team doesn't implement generating efficient machine code for higher order functions, it will only matter in the 1% of the codebase that is performance critical, and I will gladly switch that to a loop.
Ironically, if you took away Night Shift I would probably sleep better because it would be so uncomfortable to use my phone late into the night when lying in bed. Instead of burning 30-45 mins reading “just one more article”, I bet I would put the phone down after a few minutes of squinting.

East Asian American CEO drops acid and takes an apparently extremely casual approach to meetings with investors. Perhaps as an effort to stand out?

Another way of setting a limit on radiation would be: 1/10 as much as an average coal plant per kWh. Current nuclear plants are already below this, because coal plants release a fair bit of radioactive material into the air, from trace elements like thorium in coal.

When regulations prevent deploying something 10x safer than the currently deployed alternatives, they're not making us safer.
I figured that. Just wondered on what types of concrete examples.
That's way more than 87M samples, more like 300B.
And even refs aren't enough if the custom element does its initial render asynchronously. I had to add mutation observers to some wrappers to avoid polling the ref.current.
In China's case, Communism turned out to be a restricted capitalist market economy, rife with exploitation, bribery, and international trade.
Seems like the sort of case where they should have a "child safety" package at no cost (of course it would be built into the price of all units sold). Kind of like there are non-childproof medicine bottles.

Anyway, their stock is down 10% but I think that's silly; I don't think anyone who was considering a PTON is going to not, now. Maybe their earnings will take a hit, but does retail even care about that anymore?

Scripting with Excel can be done in two ways: one is Excel as a host calling the scripts inside Excel, and the other is controlling Excel in another hosting language. The first can be done with VBA or Excel Javascript. The second can be done via the COM Automation interface supported by Excel. Any language that can talk to a COM Automation server can start Excel as an embedded COM object and call Excel's COM Automation API to control it. Visual Basic, JScript (Windows' Javascript), C++, C#, Java, Mathlab, Python, and others can talk to the COM Automation servers, and can script against Excel.

Does it mention how the air vents work? They keep mentioning tsunami, but I'm unclear on how a sphere with air vents would work floating around in rough water. For that matter, does it even float upright?
They are huge, but they're also rare, and excessive. Especially for Chernobyl the exclusion zone includes vast areas no more radioactive than, say, Denver or other high altitude cities, and people kept working at Chernobyl (several of the reactors remained operational) for many years, and people have kept living within the exclusion zones. It was probably the right thing to set it as big as it was given we didn't know better at the time, but if anything Chernobyl has shown that the effects are far less severe than feared.
You can argue he stole engineering time from Netflix engineers who had to spend time implementing an inferior product.
If you read the poster's comment history, they claim expertise in the field (see the comment immediately preceding this one). And they did reply to a comment containing "Please tell me and show me otherwise." The post might or might not be a load of nonsense, but I think you can leave gustavo-fring to be offended on his own behalf.
I'm confused by this logic, because by this logic capitalizing "German Jews" is ethno-fascist, or "Asian". Am I missing something? Are Asian-Americans ethno-fascist?
I do not believe that Peloton is the first treadmill to use a touchscreen, nor are they the first company to install a touchscreen in a high vibration environment.
I know how to make some ranking functions that are good in some ways. They are not good in other ways so I don't break Arrow.

The shadow of Arrow however is that it is a lot of work to get a real improvement over a tfidf with random characteristics and you are limited by an asymptote which is less far away than you'd like: the rel teams at Google and Bing cannot beat the p=0.7@1 barrier for text search because 0.3 of the time they will get your intent wrong.

There are ranking functions in Lucene that can be tuned up as I described by making a test data set and using the methods developed at the TREC conference. That kind of tuning really works. At that conference you might see people fight over a point or two of AUC and I don't know if users can feel that but I am sure users can feel the 15 point and more difference we were seeing from tuning.

The odd thing is that hardly anybody does it and the knowledge seems pretty obscure. (e.g. I have talked to people at Lucene, OpenText and other full text search vendors and they are much more impressed with having 10,000 connectors than with the search results being good.)
So run easily-tunable gas turbines when needed, nuclear if you need it, and renewables for the bulk of your energy. Perfect is the enemy of good here.
> like "fight" out of context

Yet the people who are most angry about calling for a "fight" are the same ones that defend much worse from the likes of Maxine Waters...

The platform evaluating rules for Trump while allowing worse from others - in power or out - is the problem. Examples exist everywhere of much MUCH worse than Trumps non-calls for violence... yet he's the only one to get banned and have a Crusade/Jihad held against him? Says more about the hypocrites that hold double standards than it does about Trump - who's the same bombastic blowhard he's always been.

The movie box-officed $400M which alone probably exceeds how much Stratton Oakmont earned, let alone streaming, etc. Scorsese's whole thing is to sell you on some despicable figure, but really the movie is portraying a very glamorized version of Belfort's already extremely inflated version of reality - the fact that this guy was played by DiCaprio is already a big departure into fantasy-land.
You have presented no hard facts or logic. As stated, the groups public behaviour is consistent and malicious enough to be common knowledge. If you can't follow that logic then how can you hope to have an opinion on what is or isn't fact and logic. Or is this another attempt to redefine words for malicious use? Something far from uncommon within said group.

We have seen it over and over again in universities, in the corporate world. We have seen it in their numerous attempts to stifle free speech and to abolish right to fair trial. We have seen it in their uniform hypocrisy (were gendered insults still considered bad or is that mansplaining?)
We have seen it in the trope of sex predators using the identity as a social shield for themselves.

You are being a denier at this stage.
Figuring out how to deal with non-destructive microdosing on company time might be a tough call. If he's a genius and this helps him achieve his full genius-hood, then maybe it's tolerable.

But microdosing -- and getting the dose wrong! -- puts him in a whole different category. That's just a fundamental inability to act sensibly in risky situations. The board doesn't need to wait for the second example.
Where batteries stop scaling you can produce Hydrogen or Methane. The efficiency sucks, but most countries already have infrastructure to store huge amounts of gas.

It looks like private enterprise is maybe incompatible with Nuclear Power then. I find this to be pleasing, and we should simply side step private enterprise and build public plants.
Considering that it was mostly overturned in Brandenburg v. Ohio, SCOTUS agreed that it was unconstitutional and overreaching.

They held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action".

But yes overall I say their first decision of imprisoning people for speaking out against the draft was unconstitutional, socialist or not.
You can't derive metaphysics from language use. Nobody who says the wind is blowing thinks the wind is an agent. You'll also have a real big problem when you get to "It's raining," for example. In addition to this flawed methodology, active voice only indicates the source of an action. It doesn't convey anything about whether the agent had the ability to do other than they did, so you can't even find the information you were looking for in the language anyone here used even if it was meaningful to derive metaphysics from language use.
I find that decomposing iteration into map and filter expressions typically clarifies my understanding of the problem and makes the resulting code more general too, and I just disagree that for-loops are clearer. Combining a map and filter into one loop body tends to create specific, imperative code that doesn’t need to be specific or imperative. For one, loops require mutation to have the same effect as filter and map, and as soon as you’re maintaining state, things get confusing. My usage of higher order functions instead of for-loops is an expression of my belief that programmers should always use the least powerful construct they can to solve a problem.

In general though I think the functions used in map and filter should be total. Most languages are not expressive enough to handle errors fluidly in long chains like that, you can do it with monads but apparently everyone hates those except me.

After talking with Excel users for the past year to understand what makes it such a ubiquitous tool, I don't think that its the ability to write complex formulas, but instead the reactive, visual environment (read: IDE). Of course, for some users the ability to nest 100 VLookups or create UDF's is the important part, but for the vast majority of people, their workbooks aren't __that__ complex.

When it comes to data analytics IDEs there is a fundamental tradeoff between staring at the data or staring at the transformations. Excel makes sure you are brutally aware of each edit you make to your data at the expense of reproducibility and auditability of your transformations. Python takes the opposite end of the trade -- obscuring the underlying data, but bringing the transformations to the forefront. For non-programmers trying to learn Python (especially for data analytics), the biggest hurdle is losing touch with their data.

I've been building a Python package, Mito (https://trymito.io/hnc), to try to address this tradeoff for those who want to analyze data with the intuitiveness and data-first-ness of a spreadsheet, but with the power and traceability of Python. Mito is a Jupyter Lab extension which gives users an interactive spreadsheet that automatically converts your spreadsheet analysis to the equivalent pandas code. You can write Excel formulas, merge datasets, create pivot tables, etc.

I assume the risk is that a bad actor could make a dirty bomb from the uranium. If that's the case, how does the risk of that compare to the risk of other attacks against our water supplies, pipelines, bridges, or even poison gas attacks?

How do you compare the deaths from a distributed reactor network to the deaths from additional global warming?
Speaking only for myself, off the top of my head, I use it to look up stuff for work (software engineering), for several of my hobbies, and to learn more about local news / events, and I feel like it works equally well or better than a few years ago
