True and that is why interest rates on loans are usually above inflation. Inflation in almost everything except housing has been going down but interest rates are set according to the overall inflation rate meaning nowadays low interest mortgages massively benefit from inflation.

Low interest rates have doubled housing prices but they didn't double financing costs. Speculators merely predict the fundamentals: A market with little supply and huge demand.

For structured data, I still find XML superior to other formats, especially if it's gonna live on the disk for a long time.

I used XML as a input file format for a scientific application and I still can't see how I can store same data in a YAML file, with inherent verification capabilities and with some flexibility for reordering blocks.

For smaller stuff, YAML is fine, for transient over the wire data exchange, JSON is fine, but for heavy lifting, XML is indispensable IME.
Which "rumored asteroid" do you refer to?

You don't think an asteroid caused the Chicxulub crater? There's an awful lot of evidence in support of it. How else do you explain a 180 km crater, the iridium layer, the shocked stone, the ejecta spherules, etc?

There are several relevant asteroid theories. Since you say "negate", I assume you mean the theory that the asteroid was the sole cause of the K-Pg extinction event?

Shrug. Okay. Perhaps there were multiple causes; volcanism, marine regression, and extraterrestrial impact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Paleogene_e... . I don't think anyone would be severely upset should this prove true.

That's still an asteroid theory.
It’s unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to know and use terminology perfectly. The description itself was well-written and that’s what’s important in terms of finding/fixing the issue.
I agree and found myself wondering what Steve Jobs would think of these events. I think he might like it in that they would be "perfect" as he was notoriously fastidious about these types of events. However, he might also not like the "sterility" that seems to accompany them; he was a showman and liked to work the crowd.

I didn't mean to over-emphasise the Sunni/Shia divide. I've been told by moslem friends that most ordinary moslems regard all fellow moslems as brothers, regardless of their sect affiliation.

My point was that the Taliban have limited geographical ambitions; even within Afghanistan, the regions on the border with Iran (like Jalalabad) are not Taliban-friendly. In the north, the tajiks, turkmen and so on are likely to oppose the Taliban. They face a lot of internal opposition, even without the West interfering.

What are you on about? Cars are actually a pretty good analogy.

Banning cars is equivalent to a full lockdown - useful temporarily if the issue is getting out of control, but despite working well, takes so much away from us that it's definitely not worth it long-term.

Banning drunk, unlicensed, etc. people from driving treats the issue more immediately without taking away ver much at all. Yes, drunkards won't get to drive, even if they're willing to risk it, so that's a negative effect for them, but society as a whole will gladly sacrifice that to protect everyone else (including them, even if they don't want it).
Some specific sourcing would really help me accept these claims.

What I'm taking away here is that climate change is both directly driving hunger, and compounding other drivers like war. You call it "nuanced," which of course is true, in the same way that the proximate cause of death "from old age" is nuanced: each thing that goes bad compounds all the other things. I feel that misses the point, which is that climate change is only just beginning to exacerbate global hunger.

Human beings are the only living beings to consume a whole list of food products that aren't possible without modern processing (cooking, fermenting, pickling, etc) and we eat many "normal" foods in ways that other animals wouldn't. Why isn't really an easy question to answer other than to say because we decide to. This is a very common vegan talking point but I don't think it's a particuarly poignant point to make from that perspective (I don't know if that was your intention). It's sort of like asking why we eat bread, because no other being consumes anything remotely similar.
For the northrup-grunman, his advise made sense, but as vet I agree with you on the characterization.

As for the for-profit companies. For some reason there is not enough value placed on security in the eyes of the public.

Not saying Sony should not be in business, but I don't think it made any major impact on their ability to sell consoles. Security compromises don't seem to have nearly the same impact as other kinds of compromises.

So I'd read it as "the tensor product of a and b equals the dot product of a and b times b", something like that.

Or just "a times b = a prod f b" if I see this often.
I would say 'dot' and 'cross' etc.

But I think something else entirely. Usually I have a little picture in my head of what I feel the operator does or what it's properties are.

In this particular case I see/imagine a little purple bridge atop the operands that glows slightly and connects them.

We are fairly certain that the real-world use of cloth masks and face coverings can only supply limited benefit, so the threshold for harm to make them not worth it may not be that high [0]. You can support wearing masks for adults in motor vehicle agencies (limited harm, limited benefit) and still realize that young children in daycare should not be required to be masked all day (potentially high developmental harm, limited benefit).

"In summary, though we support mask wearing by the general public, we continue to conclude that cloth masks and face coverings are likely to have limited impact on lowering COVID-19 transmission, because they have minimal ability to prevent the emission of small particles, offer limited personal protection with respect to small particle inhalation, and should not be recommended as a replacement for physical distancing or reducing time in enclosed spaces with many potentially infectious people."

Actually the idea of firms being cooperatives is only an approximation of my ideal. It is one step we can take which I believe would help. I do think that if the majority of firms in your society are top-down winner take all firms, you're going to end up with a top-down winner take all society and I think that's bad for society. In that sense I advocate that we move to more worker self-managed firms.

The question of the self employed person making huge profits is another one. I advocate for a somewhat selfless mindset (beyond meeting basic needs for your well being and happiness). So if a single individual can make huge profits, that means it's costing the customers a lot of money. In my mind, a person making a lot of profit could save a lot of people money if they shared how they are solving these problems, and recruited others to help with the effort. So that might look like: make their project open source and help others join in the effort to make their solution more accessible. I see this as best for society.

What then of the food and shelter this entrepreneur requires? As long as food and shelter are hard to come by, the entrepreneur will be incentivized to withhold their solution from society and keep charging high prices to ensure they meet their own needs.

The solution I see is for society to provide for the needs of all. This can happen by ensuring that food and shelter are abundant. If we do that, we can see more developers and entrepreneurs willing to share what they know for the benefit of all. I believe that if executed well, this strategy can lead to a better and more innovative society than one in which every person is incentivized to withhold their knowledge from others.

Going back to your original question - it's not that I take issue with a single business owner earning a high profit, it's that I think we can do better. Instead of a few earning high profits while others freeze to death on the street, we can provide food and shelter to all, eliminate material poverty, and do this all while innovating faster. But to do so, we must drop the self-centered individualist mindset and think about how to both look after ourselves while also looking after others. We must think as a community instead of atomized individuals.

There's some confusion towards the end about Engima and Colossus:

However, his greatest impact came probably through his contribution to cracking the Enigma code, used by the German military during the Second World War. He worked with Gordon Welchman at Bletchley Park in the UK. The famous code-breaking Colossus machine, however, was designed by Tommy Flowers (not by Turing). The British cryptographers built on earlier foundational work by Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski who were the first to break the Enigma code (none of them were even mentioned in the movie). Some say this was decisive for defeating the Third Reich.

Yes, Turing worked on Enigma and the Bombe to automate breaking of the code. However, Colossus wasn't for Engima (it was for Tunny) and Turing didn't work on it. This paragraph seems confused about which is which.

Also, the fact that the Polish who did the original work weren't mentioned in the movie is just one of many things horribly wrong with that movie. It's so bad it shouldn't be considered canon.
>> I’m not confident in my understanding of the distinction between testing set and validation set.

It's confusing, not least because people refer to "testing" when they mean
"validation".

So, suppose you have a dataset, let's call it D, and it doesn't matter what's in
it other than "instances". To train a classifier you start by creating two
partitions of D: a trainign partition (the "training set"), and a testing
partition (the "testing set"). We'll denote them by T₁ for the training set and
T₂ for the testing set.

It's typical to use most of D as a training set, for example you may choose 80%
of D to be T₁ and 20% to be T₂. Obviously T₁ ∩ T₂ = ∅ and T₁ ∪ T₂ = D.

Now, because T₁ is four times the size of T₂ it's very likely that when you test
your classifer on T₂, it will appear much better than it is, just because most
of the instances in T₁ aren't represented (by similar instances) in T₂. This is
called overfitting to the training set. One way to mitigate it is to perform
cross-validation, the most common type of which is k-fold cross-validation.

In k-fold cross-validation, you further partition T₁ to k partitions, or
"folds", and then hold out each i'th partition, for i ∈ [1,k], use all the rest
k-1 partitions as a training set and test on the i'th held-out partition _during
training_. So you train your classifier on partitions 1 ... k minus i, test it
on partition i, and repeat this process for all i, recording the performance
(accuracy, F1, ROC etc, whatever your metric is). Then you choose the model that
performed the best on your chosen metric.

And then you test it on T₂.

To avoid confusion between the k folds of T₁ that you use for testing your
training models during cross-validation, on the one hand, and T₂, that you use
for testing the model that performed best on cross-validation, on the other
hand, we call the testing process performed on the k folds "validation" and each
i'th subset of T₁ used for validation a "validation set". And we just call T₂
the "testing set".

The confusion arises because we do actually _test_ on sub-sets of T₁. But T₂ is
always the "testing set" and it's never "seen" during training.

As to hyperparameter tuning, this is done _on the testing set_, i.e. T₂. This is
A Very Bad Thing™ but there you go. Once you train a classifier and find out
that it sucks on T₂, what do you do? Well, you tune the classifier's
hyperparameters. Or do a grid search to automate the process. So eventually you
overfit your classifier to the test set, because you now essentially have no
"unseen" data instances in T₂ - the classifier didn't see the instances in T₂
during training but the trainer did, or, worse, the grid search did, and the
classifier's hyperparameters were tuned according to that knowledge. How to
avoid that, is a big question, but anyway that's what is done in practice, and
the reason for that is that when you do Big Data, you end up needing so much
data that despite having terrabytes of it, you never have enough.

Ecto really hits the sweet spot.

Usually, there are two camps on data accessing:

1. Anti-ORM because object-relational impedance mismatch: ORM will always be a leaky abstraction, and it introduces its own learning curve and mental overhead.

2. Pro-ORM: despite the impedance mismatch, the alternatives usually suck when it comes to writing: The boilerplate, the ad-hoc-ness. Very often people would use query builders to build yet another leaky abstraction so ORM seems to be the necessary evil.

Meanwhile Ecto:

1. It's one of the best query builders on the market. Thanks to Elixir macros, it's very flexible and you can just use functions to parameterize and reuse them very easily.

2. It's not an ORM but there's also a Schema as a shorthand counterpart for regular things.

3. By the way, it doesn't lazy load so n+1 is not a problem anymore.
I feel the period inside quotes is redundant. The last quotation mark can signal both: end of quote and end of sentence within the quote. Though it gets complicated when there are multiple sentences within the quote.
