"the dress" is different.

In the "classic illusions" everyone (or at least the vast majority) of people will describe what they are seeing in a similar manner (an "illusion").

Then, when given an "aid" (such as hiding part of the background) they will "flip" and describe what they are seeing in a different manner ("reality").
There is no such "aid" for the dress (or at least I haven't seen such).

It is thus not an "illusion". It is a segmented perception of reality, where reality is this one specific image discussed.

It demonstrates that given a specific set of colors on which there is no argument (see wired RGB image), a composition of those same colors can still be perceived differently, but consistently, by segments of the population. They see a different "truth".

BTW my 10 people sample had 5 blue eyed people in the black/blue camp and 5 green eyed people in the white/gold camp.

It's dumb, but serious. You bugged out at the right point.
If you include that "using ZFS", it is a small subset and "a few individual users", but that may be because they care and don't choose ZFS because of it.

If you remove that clause, I would think there are way more people in that situation. That still wouldn't imply that those who write ZFS have to care, though. There's nothing wrong with providing a great solution for a selected subset that isn't suitable for the majority. In ZFS's case, that certainly applies. For its target audience, the ability to shrink pools is nice to have, and nowhere to minimum viable product.

That argument applies to btrfs, too, by he way.cthere are way more users for whom something like Google drive is a better option than running their own btrfs system.cthat doesn't mean there is no reason to develop btrfs.
Thanks. Now I am really looking forward to playing with FxOS!
I don't really know if this is a fair characterization of postmodernism or not, but I have to wonder about the circumstances under which a total lack of structure would actually be useful in a human life? It seems like to me an interesting but not very profound observation to make that our minds traffic in structure and patterns. What alternative, I wonder, is proposed to solving problems using logical constructs?

We tried this terrible idea once. It results in our guys dying because surprise, they detonate the ied when you walk up to it.

Have you ever watched programmers on tv doing things like 3 people typing on the same keyboard? That's the equivalent of this statement.

> Don't shoot unless shot upon

They fight by planting ieds. In your world, we'd be dying by the dozens. Interdicting the guys planting IEDs is the most effective way to prevent IED attacks.

A very good and honest article.

Here's one gem I noticed, right at the end:

> I don’t blame Presidents George W. Bush or Barack Obama for these wars. Our elected leaders, after all, are just following orders, no different from the Marine who asks if he can kill a man digging by the side of the road.

Exactly. Some people seem to think that the President is the one with the most power, and that he can wield it arbitrarily. It's not true. You don't get to be a President of a country if you're not up to your eyeballs with connections and mutual favour-based relationships. Nobody is going to let you become President if you're the type of person that could seriously endanger the entrenched status quo based on your whims. Such people are filtered out earlier in the process. I suspect that, in a way, the office of President is one of the least real power in actual politics.

War is the institutionalization of selective sociopathy.

This is quite illustrative:

It's not postmodern, it's a pastische of half-expored received wisdom. Saying Jackson Pollock is about the line is like saying Quentin Tarantino movies are about dialogue. He calls himself a philosopher but does not appear to ever ask "why?"

No doubt the author would respond to criticism by saying they were only trying to start a conversation. In other words: trolling.

Only partially. The total number of meth incidents (light blue, top chart) looks like it was up a little bit in 2014, but by nowhere near as much as the drop in crack, and is down in the last few bars. Meth has grown proportionally, but only because of the drastic decline in crack and heroin.
This is great! Would you say Dadaism and similar rejections are also postmodern? What about Stuckism, which rejects the idea that art is about concept and intention and should just be about pretty pictures?

Honestly, I've never found a good explanation of what "postmodern" actually means, and your examples are helping.
This is war. A place of snap decisions, unfortunately. Sure, I personally would like US soldiers, or for that matter my own country's soldiers, to wage war like United Federation of Planets - diplomacy, diplomacy, and if that fails, set phasers to stun. But we don't have phasers. Nowdays, if you run at your enemy with a taser, you'll get shot to death before you're halfway there.

I'm not defending the atrocities many a soldier committed on purpose. There are many unforgivable things that happen during war. But in the current shape of warfare, you can't blame soldiers for using lethal force against a perceived lethal threat. Let's develop phasers with stun settings that are as effective as guns, and then we can go back to this conversation.

EDIT: Come on. Off-topic or not, you're breaking the conversation flow by deleting your responses. Those comments are useful for context even if some of us disagree with them.

Part of the problem is James Cameron reusing the same themes and tropes in all of his movies. The Abyss and Avatar are pretty similar to Aliens thematically.

>I have to wonder about the circumstances under which a total lack of structure would actually be useful in a human life?

I surmise it can serve as a contrasting backdrop to structure, to better the understanding of the latter.

On the other hand, it could be simply a childish rebellion against the paternalistic oppression of structure and reason.

Or... it can also be a method for newcomers to dislodge the old guard - by undermining their work, you might be able to undermine their social stance and gain some of it for yourself.
The main article describes differences in perception of colours due to surrounding colours. It's a well-researched topic in science. I learned stuff like this in my neurophysiology degree over 20 years ago.

Dismissing it as "'because science'" and demanding that there be an invalidated null hypothesis before you can draw on scientific knowledge is just being wilfully obstructive. Do you really re-do all your basic experiments before you conduct the one that rests on them?

The question about the single-layer neural networks being closed really bugs me. The entire reason Stack Overflow is so great is that that are experts there, that can answer my stupidly specific questions.

The Presidio is considered federal land. So if I'm not mistaken, the crimes reported there wouldn't go to the city database, but a federal one. This is a guess, but seems likely to me.
What's this "hard mode" you speak of? As far as I know, there are only 6 levels, the hardest being "hexagonest" in hyper mode, which is the "hardestestest" level. I'm playing it on PC via steam.

I've beaten that but I'm keen for a harder challenge!
> It's a bullshit problem created to justify stupid decisions.

No. It's a toy problem designed to check for particular moral reactions in controlled conditions, for exploring the way human conscience works. It's not meant to be used as something you reduce real-world problems to.

> I don't think in moral absolutes, hell I don't even consider myself an especially moral person. I justify my actions based on their merits and everything I've read, seen and heard about offensive warfare just seems like a really stupid idea.

This is good, and that is very much in agreement with the trolley problem. Evaluating actions based on their merits, looking at principles and consequences alike.

With rest of your comment, I agree. Iraq and Afganistan wars are stupid, and are an example of a collective failure to do the right thing.

Just don't blame it on the trolley problem.
This article seems to posit that being "anti-mind" is a bad thing. I don't know that it is the case.
I would definitely rather instantiate and build that way. I can dream up some examples where I might want to work with more than one type of probability. It would be good design to facilitate that, for sure.

I'm not up on the actual functionality - any reason you couldn't just work with an arbitrary collection of objects? Would be nice to make an AR query and wrap it in a Prolly object and work that way.

So, I'm pondering. When/where would I want to rely on probabilities instead of raw data? Everything I come up with seems like it would just work better with actual data values than deriving probabilities. But, that might just be my mathematical ignorance at play.

Cool gem, thanks for creating!

Wikipedia is estimated to be the sixth most-visited web site in the world, and is the only site in the top that is commonly referred to by the word "wiki".

You are free to complain about or dislike that, and to want people to broaden their horizons if they think of it as the wiki or as the default thing that "wiki" refers to, but you are not free to claim that most people, when they say "wiki" as a shorthand for a site, actually mean some other site, or that some other site which could be called "wiki" is more likely to be meant.
> Without [inferential statistics], how are you supposed to reason about (for example) study results? Appeal to intuition?

The alternative, which the author of the linked article mentions, but doesn't really emphasize, is to report a best estimate of whatever effect you are trying to measure, along with some measure of uncertainty in that estimate.

For example, instead of "we failed to find significant evidence that right turn on red increases the expected number of fatalities," you say "our best estimate of the expected increase in fatalities due to right turn on red is 200 +/- 210."

This approach puts the most relevant information front and center, and it seems to me, encourages better intuitive reasoning. It's what engineers and most of the hard sciences do most of the time.

You do also need to say something about the meaning of your uncertainty estimate (e.g. it's 1 sigma, or 2 sigma, or 95%), or alternatively, there needs to be an understood convention for your field.

Not really. Android lets you sideload apps pretty easily, and it even has third-party repositories like F-Droid.
Ok thank you, that information is pretty hard to stumble upon when you don't know where to search. Although on Android you can't seem to be able to build a whole "native app", only some components of it cf this now removed quote from:

Nope, you don't understand the trolley problem. It's a very precise tool designed to explore the workings of human conscience. It's a toy problem, not meant to be used with real-world situations. What it shows is that humans indeed have the intuition that, ceteris paribus, the value of lives adds up - saving two lives is more right than saving just one.

The bronze and lighter blue you are seeing are a result of the incredibly washed out image - there's a ton of light. Almost any black object will appear gray or bronze or colored under a lot of light, even if it looks like true black in darker environments.
You can come up with all kinds of "what ifs" while forgetting our (in the US) system of checks and balances which protestors forget about and want to circumvent by creating vigilante groups to take care of matters on their own. Anything can be made open for abuse but you are assuming no one is watching and will do nothing about it.

Funny. Just a few minutes ago, I was watching NBC News story about the 3 teenage kids who went to Syria on their own. The family lawyer complained that, since the government is watching all the social media they posted on, why didn't they alert the family so this could be stopped?

To which all of HN would reply, "But ... but ..."
For what it's worth, even though I haven't usually posted a salary range, it's something I try to clear up in the first call. It's true it's a waste of everybody's time otherwise.

I won't get into the efficacy/need for ticket cameras, but I
will share something I have thought about for a long time.

A poor-middle class guy gets a ticket, and it can affect their ability to pay rent.

A rich guy get's a ticket and he tells his wife over dinner.

How about tying your first ticket(reasonable mistake--like a California stop, etc.) to income, but only every 5 years. If
poor person get's another ticket in five years all fees go back to normal levels?

There would be upper limits on ticket price, so millionaires
wouldn't be gouged too much. I think they tried this in Switzerland, but the law didn't have upper limits for the wealthy? Some guy got a $100,000 ticket--which is crazy!

A $500 ticket can really cause pain for students and the poor? I have thought about this since I was sixteen?
Thanks a lot!

1) Mainly personal thoughts combined with interviews with several early users.
2) There were couple of reasons. First, there is a huge amount of work that should be done to manually pick the best offering. Second, we feel like we need to keep a high bar for our gigs for it to be truly valuable and thus, promoted content didn't simply seem right.
3) We wanted to launch it as soon as possible to a) test the idea b) start helping people who feel need to solve this problem, so some features are yet in our roadmap. Right now we choose only totally remote offerings, but plan to expand to other categories and verticals if the service will prove itself useful.

That's great questions, thanks for asking!

If Need/Lack Business model is the reason your start up fails, you never had a business to begin with.
It is the worst market to sell to. Deals of any substance take years at a minimum. There's no accountability, either -- your deal can get canceled for no reason at any time. The sales cycle is astronomically expensive, and the required SLAs are incredibly extensive and costly. There's a reason governments rarely, if ever, do business with small startups without massive amounts of cash.

As far as happiness goes, this are already measured in its most relevant form as approval ratings, and it's done so with varying degrees of accuracy by professional polling organizations.

If you've been following FiveThirtyEight, you'll know that polls have become exceedingly difficult to conduct with accuracy. People just don't respond to them like they used to, and it's very hard to reach certain segments that are vital to having a representative sample (e.g. low-income Latinos in the US).

And besides all that, why would a government want to analyze citizen happiness? It's very naive to believe that career politicians are working to make people happy. They have many complicated personal reasons for doing what they do, along with some combination of desire for fame, influence, or money.
