Break the law. Every time. The fines are minuscule, and you'll likely be able to settle with the government without actually admitting wrong doing. There's also no personal consequences for the decision makers.

Corporate accountability is laughable. So just break the law, get your small little fine, accept no wrong doing, and move on.
What's the something that works only once in a lifetime in this sentence? Sense of imminent doom?
>> ... because it doesn't have any sodium or chloride ...

> Well, then just add an S and a Cl in there.

If we're talking sodium, wouldn't "S" instead be "Na"? Though I'm guessing sulfur has some importance as well.

Thanks! Yes, I've always heard good things about Blue mics.
I'm very sensitive to any seafood taste as well, and If I ever detect it in something that's not seafood, I'll just instantly throw the meal away. I'll make an exception for caesar dressing.

I like seafood too, just not in my onion rings.

I know, but that wasn't the question, rather what has been actually produced with it, given that Infinity Blade was created with Unreal 3 for iOS in 2008.

An hardware that WebGL 2.0 is supposed to be much better.

Instead most online games look like Amiga 500 stuff instead.
Great that they finally added quantile regression. This was sorely missed.

I’m still hoping for a mixed-effects model implementation someday, like lme4 in R. The statsmodels implementation can only do predictions on fixed effects, which limits it greatly.

I’ve always wondered why mixed effect type models are not more popular in the ML world.
First, a lot of space debris is small. I'm talking like flecks of paint. That's an issue at high speed and this has hit the ISS [1].

Obviously there's the conservation of momentum to deal with. That fleck of paint has a decent amount of momentum but that's fairly easily absorbed by a couple of tons of material fixed to an otherwise rigid body.

You'd probably attach it via cables and if, somehow, enough momentum was delivered to that "paddle" that it would tear off the cables would just let it go.

If the paddle is fixed to the ring and is let go, it's just going to fall to Earth even with any added momentum, in which case it'll burn up in the atmosphere.

The more dangerous debris is larger stuff. Like there are dead parts of rockets, even smaller stuff like bolts. These pose extra challenges but a lot of the same principles apply.

> This should be news because it's as close as an official declaration that Intel acknowledges it's time as the world's leading chip manufacturer is over, and that the crown is nowadays firmly on AMD's head.

You're being premature here. Intel still makes more profit in one quarter than AMD makes revenue in multiple years. Intel still puts out more than 10x as many CPUs as AMD does in a year in one quarter.
I guess records will make valhalla (value types) easier which enables more efficient data structures and will probably make passing data over FFI (valhalla) easier too.

They reduce a lot of boilerplate, e.g. when passing multiple return values.

> researchers discovered what is known as an inverse square relation between the number of people in a given urban location and the distance they traveled to get there

I'm highly skeptical of this result as my lived experience is that travel time is so much more important than distance.

There are two parts of my city that I like to visit that are roughly equidistant from my home. One can takes 20 minutes to arrive at, the other 45. Can you guess which one I visit more often?
If the "entrepreneur" starts to beg for money after they have a mammoth ready; great! Otherwise this looks like another tech scam.

Cooperation in Queueing Systems
There’s something called a five number summary in statistics: mean, median, standard deviation, 25th percentile and 75th percentile.

The bonus is that the 75th - 50th gives you the interquartile range.

Mean is not a robust measure and as such you need to look at variety to truly understand the spread of your data.
Apple refreshes iPad Mini with a new design, 5G and an 8.3-inch display
The Mafia and other crooks must love the tipping culture (which seemed to be true according to what I heard in E392/E393 of Jordan Harbinger Show [1]) as it allows them both special treatment, easy way of using black money, and a way to avoid taxes. Wouldn't surprise me if they're deep proponents of it.

Its also a race to the bottom: how much BS can I get away with squeezing the customer. "They do it, too" is just an equivalent of "they are getting away with it, too".

You get this kind of crap when there's no regulations or when they are not actively enforced.

Haven't read the article because it's paywalled and I can't be bothered right now, but after reading Steven Pinker's "The Better Angels of Our Nature" and "Enlightenment now", I just don't know where I stand on him.

On the one hand, his books are definitely worth reading, well researched, very informative. On the other hand, he does seem to look at everything through pink glasses. I don't subscribe to the ideas that we will all literally perish within the next X decades, but it's not really idiotic to think that there are many things which can destroy our rare calmness bubble in history, either slowly, like climate change, or rather quickly, like a world war.

I guess what puts me off, especially in "Enlightenment Now" is that he seems to treat these things like they are provably impossible to happen by just looking at the past and all the near misses we've had and how it was all okay in the end. Am I missing something?

If we're going to correlate, we can do it with with obesity as well.

In 2018 "obesity prevalence was [...] 21.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds." [0] according to the CDC. That's one out of 5 being obese, not overweight. And it has more than tripled since the 70's [1].

And then we start blaming the "evil screens" for people not finding themselves attractive.

>Most investors would be better off buying index funds - so you seriously have to enjoy this for it to make sense.

Data point of one but a friend of mine retired and got into angel investing. I guess he pretty much got out of it after a few years and I got the sense that he'd have done a lot better just in an index fund.

He does still do some angel investing but just for a few companies he feels especially strongly about.
We went from thousands of transistors in chip in 1970 to billions of transistors in chip in 2020.
Yes, photons are bosons / force carriers, but they interact with charged particles, and in this case produce e+ e- pairs via this Feynman diagram [1]. By rotating the diagram in spacetime, you get different known interactions: pair production (this topic), pair annihilation (same diagram running the other way in time), and, if memory serves, Compton scattering.

This actually would make a lot of sense.

My previous guess was the original version had spaghetti code (ex: lots of hard coding edge cases), and they tried to move it to a more standardized / maintainable code block that hasn't been fully brought up to speed.

The guess was based on a interview video I saw discussing the various prototypes for the original iphone keyboard.
The A&W in Albany, MN was well kept last time I was there. Not a bad place to stop on a trip down I94.
>Somebody from the far-flung future would (hopefully) find us mostly to be near-destitute.

I love thinking about future historians view of today, I think it's better and more useful than futurism.
I don't get why folks go through such mental gymnastics and contortions to "think" that this strewn through their code bases is a good idea (or at least a slightly positive aspect of the language):

if err != nil {
return err
}

No language is perfect and not all are an improvement on languages that have come before. Just admit it's rubbish and move on.
Evolution constricts those outcomes to something at least somewhat reasonable and capable of life because both parents were able to live.

You have to plan to use them in advance. With a pipeline operator you can figure out the command you want at one stage and then tack on another part of the pipeline without needing to go back and alter the way you began the line.
The audacity of that tangent at the end. "Natural and inevitable"? People fought and died for your 40 hour work week. You know May Day? The Labor Day for the rest of the world? Commemorates the Haymarket Massacre, which was fighting for the 8 hour work day.
I wonder -- what percentage of "angel" investors never expand beyond a portfolio of five businesses? Or... just one business, say that of a friend or family member?

Personally, if I'm ever financially capable of investing in a business to the tune of $25k, I think I would find a lot of satisfaction in enabling the dreams of someone smart and capable that I knew personally.

Obviously, going into business with friends or family is... extremely fraught. But, y'know, optimism.

Clearly, what I'm talking about is not really even in the same ballpark as what the author means. But I guess I'm writing this comment as a way to say to myself "I don't think I necessarily need $3.3M liquid to invest in a business."

And really, angel investing has never struck me as a way to really make money; more of a way to say, as someone with resources, "I believe in this idea, and would like to give it a chance to succeed."
It's a balancing effect. Do you live in a abandoned silo in the middle of nowhere eating canned foods? Do you put yourself at ground zero in a pandemic situation with the other constituent effects still in full swing?

Do you live as an ascetic? Do you amass wealth wantonly? How many kids do you have? How do you support them?

There are a lot of different strategies for life, and many of us will change our mind as to which is best over time. What is best for one person might not be best for another, and what is right or best changes in time and space.

I find Steven Pinker a refreshing voice.
Content Llama | Web or full stack developer | Remote, EU preferred

I need a great web developer and a full stack developer to join the product engineering team of 8 in Content Llama. We take the diverse product information and photos provided by brands and make it amazing and easy to use for online retailers. We're doing that by building powerful user interfaces for human curators, and assisting them with machine learning and automation.

We're a scaling start-up, with funding and customers. Our product roadmap is huge so you'll be able to find a challenge that interests you. We don't have a 24/7 service so we don't have the on call requirements of many tech companies.

Tech stack is React+Redux, Spring Boot, and MariaDB on Azure, but experience with those isn't necessary. Location is Dublin, Ireland, but our team is distributed between Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Ukraine so remote is certainly possible.

You can reach me at andrew.duffy@contentllama.com

It seems like a nice idea, but doesn't cleaning the ocean seem a bit more pressing?
Ironic that most people taking their courses are doing so to be able to ..... get jobs.

I always liked Treehouse's presentation but it was a bit pricey compared to other services like Udemy for example.
I think the best thing we have is the new `record` feature. You can declare a small public record before the method with the return type, and by using the `var` keyword, the caller doesn't need to repeat the type declaration.
>There is utility to race , only because we refuse to cut the middle man and identify clusters directly from genetic data. No one needs a cockerel to wake you up, when alarm clocks have been invented. Honestly, typing this comment has just made me want to invest in these 23nme-like companies.

There's a reason for this, and that reason is cost. Even the relatively cheap microarray based tests that 23 & me uses are expensive at scale. Race, imperfect as it is, serves as a low-cost, reasonably effective proxy in many (but not all) cases.

Remember, for medical logistics, it's not about getting perfect care (are you sequenced yet?). It's about getting cost effective care, lest you bloat costs to high heaven.
As an example: anxiety about impending winter was a very desirable evolutionary trait for northern populations. Every year you realized that if you didn't have enough food for winter you and your family might starve.

Obsessing over all the things that could go wrong helped you survive -- planning for things like failed crops, losing livestock, early or late freezes.

The "chill" people without that intense pessimism about the future often did starve and we're not descended from them.

But in modern life, the intensity of anxiety about an uncertain future is misplaced. It's a good trait to have still -- yes -- but it shouldn't be taking over your mind.
It is outdated now but it is the basis of modern restored classical pronunciation.
I'm quite fond of KDL and intend to use it in a future project.

Quick said-contras:

Q: "Another markup/config language?"
A: Yes. We actually do get (slowly) better at solving already-solved problems. Evolution of spec does happen and is important. Steady refinement and reflection on past work just is progress.

Q: "OK, but is it worth the mental clutter and cognitive load of an additional standard/dependency/format?"
A: That's for the market and community to decide together. Example: Time was, Markdown was a bizarre hobby format and most work happened in XML or LaTeX or Wiki (or, gasp, Perldoc). But Markdown proved better, more sensible; so Markdown won.

Q: "Why not YAML?"
A: Am I the only old here who remembers the era of YAML security bugs? Like, it was like the Sendmail Bug Era, but worse, because it was in everything. YAML, like Perl, is easy to read, but hard to reason about; and that makes it a hazard. These days, we have YAML libs and practices we regard as known-good, but I still trust it about as much as I trust \.doc(x?) or \.pdf, or some weird execv() involving ImageMagick. It's unclean. Sorry, not sorry.

KDL is solid and I'm a fan.
A better analogy would be closer to California, because the US is protecting trade routes.
The same can be said for drugs, homelessness, corruption, social media, and literally anything. Society as a whole is under attack by these things, and the costs it pays for them are much higher than ransomeare.
So if you were going to create a test for "Is this a social construct?" What would it be?

It seems like the definition from your comment would be "Could we take this labeling system, and define different labels or the labels differently?"

I watched some of the youtube, and in the thought experiment she proposes she take a continuous trait(height) and arbitrarily splits it into two buckets. And talks about how this is kinda silly. But this is something we do all the time, with hypertension, diabetes, disabled, Alzheimer's, the 1%, capitalism, Canadian, etc...

And many of these categories are far more continuous than something like sex and gender which as far as categories go are pretty discrete.

Maybe these things are social constructs, but if they are then we surely must come to the conclusion that almost everything we care about in the world is a social construct.
Wow, what's up with the lighting on that photo of him in the article? Very unsettling and seems like a terrible way to frame his positive message.
I would assume that as the debris cloud became more biased in one direction, it would be more and more likely to encounter new debris coming in a different direction.
Literally every major engine allows exporting to WebGL/WASM. So Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc... graphics can all be done in WebGL (without a few of the bleeding edge Vulkan/DirectX features).
One thing that doesn't get mentioned in articles like this is that people need to "slow down" their lives. If you walk, bike, or use public transportation instead of driving, many things will take longer to accomplish.

I went car-free for 19 years. By bike, my commute took twice as long. (It was three times longer using public transportation.) Errands that could be made in one car trip, might take several trips if walking or biking, since I could carry less in a backpack or on my bike. You learn that some trips are "unnecessary."

> Many of the car trips that people take are within biking distance — say, to dinner, or an activity like a movie theater.

Maybe; but, I don't want to be sweaty when I sit down to dinner or watch a movie. I'd walk or take the bus.
> Alpine presently uses OpenRC as its service manager, although we plan to switch to s6-rc in the future.

Oh, that's exciting - I always liked the daemon-tools family of service managers.
I'm from the USA, but the problem with High Schools is certainly not limited to the US. Also, you are right that it sounds like a warzone.

The particular High School I went to was in a town that had just lost it's military base and had turned into a bedroom community for halfway houses. (Places where criminals leaving prison would stay on parole.) This mixed a large number of different gangs together into a single area leading to tons of terrible things. This all trickled down to the kids in the area.

Fights involving 10 or more kids were common. Walking home you had to avoid certain times and places where after school fighting would take place. Parks and culverts were DMZs at certain times. Resource officers used pepper spray in crowded hallways where a fight had broken out. Whenever we had a school assembly it was pretty common for a riot to break out.

This was the "Good" High School in town. There were two others that were quite a bit worse. Problems with weapons, fires, and such.
They are faster for many practical applications, at every price point.

Maybe it's just me but all my performance-sensitive applications are heavily multithreaded. AMD CPUs simply have more cores. The profit from Intel only AVX-512 doesn't quite cut it. Besides, not all apps are actually optimized to leverage AVX-512, C++ compilers aren't.
We see this time and again. Blame everyone else but the common man. Mobs are naturally susceptible to act in their own self interest and what we see today is a natural consequence of housing as an investment and your biggest asset.

Nimbys are simply protecting an investment. In a captalistic society we have to change the incentives to drive action.

Allow renters vote on local zoning regulation. Hell, remove stringent zoning regulations in general. At the same time, put limitations on what HOAs and local.commitees are allowed to impose.

Remove the exorbidant costs/regulations towards building multi family homes. This has been driving the rise 'premium condos' because affordable housing isnt affordable to build.

Impose larger taxes on rent collected on 3rd+ homes. Impose large taxes on vacant properties. Start gently discouraging additional housing as an investment.

Lastly, I strongly support sensible gentrification. Give long term renters first dibs and zero-additional-cost pathways to home ownership.But after that, gentrify and gentrify heavily. A revitalization of innercities is the easiest way to solve the housing problem in our current political climate. (For those who complain that condos arent suburban single family homes.....thats how we got here in the first place)

These are just some ideas .
I'm not saying it doesn't reduce individual risk for a period of time. It does.

But vaccinating entire populations for a respiratory virus that mutates and stays infectious is a recipe for never ending boosters and has a strong possibility of creating more lethal variants because these will thrive in the vaccinated less severe masses when normally they'd be bed ridden, symptomatic and easily contained through contact tracing (See sars 1)

You better hope they dial the targeting for the boosters and the timing of them correctly because when you're short lived immunity wanes from the previous dose you may be facing a more tuned up lethal version that was kept circulating by all these vaccinated persons.

Vaccines for the most vulnerable are very appropriate here but not for the individuals that have very low risk. It would be better to unlock this population and let them develop stronger natural immunity while dealing with the edge cases with monoclonal antibodies and other promising viral therapies.
Just read a manga with this topic. but who will pay for the removal? Governments? Not in the interest of private companies to clean up debris. I guess if they all pay, then it's a go.
I do not understand.

When I eat too much I gain weight. When I eat less I lose weight. This is not theoretical - I eat half and lost 16 kg. I let myself go and gained back.

This is that simple, no need to say how the world is against me.
Then question is who/what will be providing the large number of paid on chain transactions required to maintain mining operations if Lightning takes over the majority of transactions? Your answer is kind of having it both ways Lightning makes transactions instant for users but there’s still enough transactions and thus fees on chain to provide enough mining revenue to protect against 51% attacks.

More often than not, AI/ML finds some surprising shortcut. I am pretty sure this will be the case too, because "races" and their (hypothetical) biological or genetic foundations don't map at all.
Exactly, I hate dealing with Lombok projects for that reason. I'd rather the cruft than the compiler add-on.
> At least the usual algorithm fundamentals are a predictable and fine metric, and you only need to learn once.

Couldn't disagree more about the metric part - I know lots of people from college who basically saw CS as applied math, who I would say are geniuses at algorithms, but I would hate to work with (because being geniuses, their code is unreadable, their logic is inexplicable to anyone but them, and they are extremely easily sidetracked from the actual business problem at hand).
