In single variable calculus and newtonian physics, sufficiently talented researchers come to the same conclusion when they devote significant time to a question, with sufficiently talented researchers beginning to appear in high school.

In chemistry, sufficiently talented researchers will come to the same conclusion, with sufficiently talented researchers appearing in college, or more likely graduate school / professional labs for organic chemistry.

As humans, we don't have researchers who are so talented that if you ask them to answer nutritional questions, they will consistently and independently come to the same conclusions. This isn't because nutritionists are dumb, this is because nutrition is hard. However, it makes it much harder to suss out dumb nutritionists when the smart ones disagree.

Notably, none of this stops anyone from writing books.

having executive cover is important, but equally important is knowing exactly how to write "this control is out of scope for my project" in the launch forms, or making an approval "FYI" instead of "Required". It gets harder and harder to do this as your launch requires more and more personal data to operate.

I’m actively working to change this as a CTO in a small digital agency. Can’t say that I’ve completely solved it but I’ve started challenging my peers when they use the words hope, belief and especially magic to describe what they’re up against. We’re professionals not hobbyists. Our codebases should get easier not harder to work with over time.

We have a sister organization which is larger and with their own CTO. I’ve tried to boil the ocean and inspire change across both companies, it was hard, for now I'm just focusing on trying to inoculate the new hires against accepting any sub-optimal bureaucracy. Though I see that need to find some way to train them to be so open and confident that they can start to challenge processes when they need to.

I have a lot of hope in the new hires though. Culture is hard to change but definitely doable. It’s all about who you hire, fire, praise and incentivize.
Very much like the $5000 books on Amazon where the algorithms are anticipating flipping an existing listing. Congrats on winning this round! The next step might be interesting which would be to go back and re-purchase the Condo once the price corrects to the 'real' price and bank the difference.

I have read this article and the one before it and it sounds very much like some folks who fell in love with their own idea and got early feedback that it was "working", went all in and never checked to see if it was still working.

The lesson should have been, "When you perturb an emergent system, never assume that the current state is the new steady state."

The most interesting thing for me back when I was in college was a discussion on of the professors on feedback systems gave on LA's freeway systems. There are three major interconnected freeways, 405, 110, and 10 which at the time formed a triangle. Now there is the 105 which cuts off the tip so perhaps a smaller triangle. The professor shared a paper that tracked "brake waves" which were aggressive braking maneuvers that would "propagate" backwards on crowded freeways. The paper showed that at the right time of day, an aggressive braking on any of these three segments could result in your own braking wave to "lap around" and hit you again. Sort of a ringing of the system.

This sort of effect can be present in any system that isn't centrally organized but is instead a result of the interactions within the system. Buying and selling real estate is such a system, especially when you are a 'market maker' in that system.

There are a lot of papers on how HFT trading algorithms interfere (both constructively and destructively) with each other on wall street exchanges. Just interesting stuff in my opinion.
Ah MSX! My first computer was a Spectravideo MSX machine.

But it was the 80s so anything with color was great!

Fun facts, the Mysorean rocket was the main reasons that Britsh was defeated several times in the battle against Kingdom of Mysore [1]. The leader of the British army at the time is none other than Arthur Wellesley, better known as 1st Duke of Wellington who later defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, and ended Napoleonic Era in Europe.

The British was so impressed by the technology, then decided to purposely created a new company to improve on the Mysore rocket technology to be used in war and created Royal Arsenal Woolwich in 1801 that later became Arsenal football club. The original name of Arsenal footbal club was Woolwich football club. Royal Arsenal were very successful that during WW1 it employed 80,000 workers. I think it's not an exxageration to say that Napolean was defeated by British partly due to Congereve rockets produced by the new company, that were improved from Mysorean rocket [2].

Another fun fact is that the Tipu Sultan of the Kingdom of Mysore also ruled Bangalore, now considered the Silicon of Valley of India.

That article and entire website are the epitome of, "the powers that be used arguments like 'parental choice' to stymie progress, and we ended up in a good-enough middle ground where the privileged class could pretend something was done, and racism was over."

I'm not going to convince you of anything, I know, but you're not going to convince anyone with decade old articles from a conservative think tank propaganda site.
Their vast trove of data predicted (probably correctly) that flipping houses in this environment is a sound financial strategy. The trouble is they couldn't also predict the massive operational complexity that comes with it.

Planning renovations, sourcing materials, finding and scheduling contractors all involve a lot more than writing clever code.
I would challenge you to find a single article reporting on any of Trump's speeches, actions, or policies in a positive light from any of the "centrist" outlets that you posted.

In fact I would challenge you to find a single topic that was reported on differently by any of those sources. The fact that our primary media outlets consistently report nearly identical information and spin on every story is a glaring indication of political bias. And apparently it is enough to convince millions of viewers that these issues are cut and dry; that republicans are obviously evil, are the only ones engaged in gerrymandering, that the left would never support authoritarian pursuits of power, etc.

I could link you dozens of articles, but I would be downvoted for posting "right wing propaganda". Meanwhile approximately 70MM people voted for Trump a second time, but the fact that none of our major outlets (even Fox was not friendly to trump) represent the views of these people is fine, because they're all ignorant, racist rednecks, right?
This study claims that there are 7.3 heavy meth users per 1000 15-49 year olds in Australia. Meaning 1 in 10 people who try meth become a heavy user. That seems like a lot to me, given the lifestyle heavy-users live.

The problem is that the more you make the virtual world like the real world the less relaxing it is. I don't have the mental energy these days for things that are too immersive.

Some people are just not going to want to spend 8 hours a day interacting with people to go home and interact with other real people in a reality-like medium.
If you're buying a home right now, make sure you're moving somewhere you're willing to live for a while and that you're not going to be in financial duress if your home loses 20% of its value.

That's an odd way to say "I think you should probably consider renting right now" (which is absolutely what you should do if you think housing is likely to drop 20%).

> My point was that the data Tesla publishes isn't valuable.

That's not true at all, and you know it. Consider the extremes: if autopilot got in zero accidents over these however many million miles of travel, you'd have to admit it was safe to use, right? If it got in 10x as many accidents as the median vehicle, we'd all agree it was a deathtrap. There's value in those numbers. Well, the truth is somewhere in between, it gets in 4x fewer accidents (I think) than the median car. That still sounds good to me.

You're just nitpicking. You're taking a genuine truth (that the variables aren't independent because "miles travelled with AP" aren't randomly sampled) and trying to use it to throw out the whole data set. Probably because you don't like what it says.

But you can't do that. The antidote to incomplete or confounded analysis is better analysis. And no one has that. And I argue that if there was a signal there that says what you want ("Tesla AP is unsafe") that it would be visible given the number of cars on the road. And it's not.

Stop nitpicking and get data, basically. The time for nitpicking is when you don't have data.

The practical choice isn't really between more and less inconvenience. The choice is between less inconvenience and nothing being done at all. It's a political problem, not just a scientific and engineering one, and any engineering approach to solve it that is not also politically viable (which is likely to be the case for anything that significantly affects quality of life for a lot of people) is not going to happen in a democracy.

> This is yet another reason why I think the "are you a felon?" question should basically be outlawed in the US

I mostly agree with this. First, you shouldn’t be allowed to ask about arrests, indictments, or other form of accusations. You should only be allowed to ask about convictions.

Further, those questions should be limited to convictions for crimes directly related to the job at hand, and should be time limited. For example, if you’re hiring an accountant that will be managing the organization’s cash, I think you should be allowed to ask if the applicant has been convicted in the last N (let’s say 10) years of embezzlement of an employers funds. But that’s it. No questions about drug convictions, petty cash theft convictions, or anything else.

Then why is it that the public schools in affluent and largely white suburbs are so very different from those in more urban and/or diverse neighborhoods? I’m talking facilities, test scores, programs, I mean you name it there’s a big difference. Could it be that property taxes provide a more stable funding source from year to year compared to state funding?

You're misunderstanding. It's not about the wear. It's about failure of the SSD. Any failure.

I've had a SSD fail and it was covered under warranty. Wasn't wear related and it was barely used. A month or so old.

So yeah, SSD failure is realistic for me as an issue.

YMMV
That still at no point requires the application's team to make decisions about which two PCR zones to pick and which cells within it to pick, which [decision] can still be cleanly abstracted away, and would still be a mixing of unrelated concerns, and so your comments are still orthogonal to the point I was bringing up here.

>I'm not mad at them for choosing other folks over me, it just makes me wonder what the point of those friendships was in the first place.

Here is something more worrisome than the fact that they have chosen someone over you to be friends with: they do not have long term memories. Most likely the have not chosen someone else because they were better than you in some ways, but they 'chose' those people because forgetful enough that they just pick people that they are geographically closest to them as 'friends'.

George Orwell has made similar observations of common people.

> Also growing population and people moving to areas where the jobs are. Most recently: pandemic refugees from NYC and California settling in adjacent areas. When demand changes for a good with inelastic supply you see large excursions in price.

Right, when there is a disruption. Say there is an increase in jobs in city A and wages rise by 10%. Say there is a decrease in jobs in city B and wages decrease by 10%.

Now what must happen is some kind of population transfer from B to A. We also know that rents will rise in A and fall in B.

But how does this happen? Via evictions in B as people can no longer afford the existing rents and move out. That adds to the rental supply in B as landlords struggle to find tenants, which causes rents to fall. Similarly in A, there is a bidding war for apartments and rents rise. This is how the market adjusts to the new reality of jobs and wages in both cities.

Now covid had lots of these disruptions. Entire job markets were shutdown, others thrived.

So what happens when the government puts a freeze on evictions in both A and B. Then everything is frozen except for the handful of new construction in A and B, so you get massive price spikes and rent too high in city A as well as rents being too high by not adjusting downward in city B.

The effect of this is that prices are always much higher than the market clearing price, which is what this paper demonstrates.

This is also what happens when you try to make economic interventions based on sentimental intuition -- "it's not fair that you should be evicted if you are laid off" -- often the exact opposite of what you want ends up happening, as housing becomes too expensive for everyone. What has to happen is that people must live in the housing they can afford. Attempting to live in housing that they can't afford always causes excessively high prices for the majority.

Usually no borrow until 2 days after. You have to wait until shares hit lending pools (basically people saying they are willing to lend out their shares for a fee).

This doesn't happen until trades from the IPO "settle" t+2 (standard time for a trade from a buyer to a seller to be booked, and for a buyer to actually receive ownership of the shares. Ownership in this case meaning you can lend / margin them etc)

Options usually won't be listed for a week or so at the earlier until after the IPO, so whoever mentioned that below is wrong.

A large majority of people already have passable social skills. What they object to is working to master the fake social interactions you see business people, HR etc engage in. And when HR select for social skills they don't select for what you mean, they select for the HR definition of social skills, this is the part people don't like and what they want changed.

For example, the algorithm technical interview ensures the candidate has enough social skills to ask questions, explain their thought process and talk about technical solutions without getting angry even when stressed. That is all you need from your software engineers.
