1. ATLAS hasn't had great performance in ages because it explores the wrong parameter space. OpenBLAS or MKL are much better choices and don't need autotuning.

2. You can call these libraries from any language, so Fortran offers no advantage there.

3. Fortran performance is similar to C and C++ (assuming use of restrict where needed).

4. CUDA will not lead to 10-40x boost unless your CPU implementation is garbage. The realistic standard is about 2x when normalized by Watts; see the Green500 for example. The 2x also holds for price when using server-grade parts (like Tesla), but GPUs come out further ahead if you buy consumer grade. Note that you still have to pay to buy and power a host, and that GPUs are a lot less versatile in terms of problem size/turn-around time and workload. They have their place, but evaluate your workload carefully before concluding that the cost proposition favors GPUs.

Having a large / strong jaw and chin is correlated with higher testosterone levels and is a secondary sexual characteristic in males. Higher testosterone levels are correlated with a weakened immune response.

So yes, a "manly chin" may very well have been selected for on the basis of showing the strength of the individual by artificially handicapping them (being genetically "rich enough" as you put it).

Interestingly, beards act to further emphasize the chin. And we're one of the few animals to have those, too.
Most common Y Combinator rejection reasons:

1. Facebook is already the best "Facebook for X".

2. The founders are old enough to know better.

3. Co-founder looks like an extra from "Wayne's World"

4. The co-founder is the founder's left hand inside a sock puppet.

5. Someone mentioned "Java" and it killed the mood.

6. The founders somehow discovered that the VCs are reptillians, as are most world leaders

I agree, and this is why netflix has time to build up a library of original content. It's bootstrapping its success off the backs of its future competitors. I will predict though, that when Disney's current contract with netflix expires (2020ish IIRC), they won't renew.

I've had similar experiences in other U.S. car-oriented cities, too. I have a driver's license, but I've lived in big cities and literally haven't driven in years and always walk or take transit anywhere I visit.

I think people with cars in those cities often just don't know what routes are walkable and which aren't and assume the worst. People do the same with "the bus," I've found--I've been to many places where people who don't take public transit and don't even know how much it costs or where the routes go assume that it's dirty, unreliable, filled with criminals, etc.

But I'm probably doing the same with renting a car when I travel--overemphasizing the expenses and inconveniences and discomforts involved.

One problem I have had walking in various car-oriented cities is poor-to-nonexistent signage for pedestrians. A busy, curvy street might suddenly go from having sidewalks on one side to sidewalks only on one with no prior notice pretty far from the last crosswalk, forcing you to backtrack half a long block, walk on the shoulder of the road or jaywalk-sprint through traffic. Or a complicated highway interchange running through the middle of a city might be easily circumvented on foot, but there's no signs telling you how to do it, leading to a lot of backtracking and meandering through no-man's-land.

I think the transportation planners unfortunately fall into the car-only group in a lot of cities, so they don't notice the need for pedestrian signs, or to adjust traffic lights so they're more visible to pedestrians, or trim foliage encroaching on sidewalks.

Would you really expect that a large majority of people who are interested in immortality, are interested in it because they don't like being alive?

Also, psychoanalysis-at-a-distance of broad groups of people is generally awful, even when the broad groups of people are unusual. Please don't.

Also, unbounded lifespan isn't the same as irreversible immortality. Irreversible immortality, assuming you can implement it somehow, seems like a sort of bad idea.
LSD could have many therapeutic applications - especially for challenging existing doctrines and with managing addictions. But the government probably didn't want people to be freed of these mindsets.

The CIA immediately started testing it as a mind control substance and an adjunct to torture. They conducted thousands of cruel experiments, most of them without the consent of the experimentee's, usually on prisoners and people in mental institutions. I wouldn't put all the blame on Leary and other harmless eccentrics.

The suggestion to use `postpone` (by which i assume you mean `postpone --debian` ?) to trigger automatatic updates is very interesting, and led me to look into it further, only to discover it's been removed from Debian in Jessie onwards.

The message in the removal email mentions that dpkg triggers fulfil the same task now, have you ever tried/managed to use dpkg-triggers in the same way? It strikes me as likely being impossible as they're run by dpkg itself, which needs to exit before the update can begin...

At this stage it seems like a solution to do this would need to re-package `postpone` for >= Jessie (which isn't impossible, it just makes for one more thing to support).
You're getting beat up and i feel at least partly responsible. I agree with you wholeheartedly MBTI is as much psychology as Mentos in Diet Coke is chemistry. It's a child's toy, a fun afternoon pastime. Perhaps it will inspire a few to actually go learn things, but this use is bordering on dangerous.

For a long time I had no respect for economics. Or psychology for that matter. The more I learn, the more i see how fabulously difficult it is to tease information out of data. Psychology has got to be the worst. There are a zillion reasons, but right off the bat, people lie. People lie for so many reasons. With computers, I can almost always tease out a crisp yes or no answer to any question i wish. I'm sure the vast majority of HN users default to this kind of thinking, that if i just look hard enough, I'll get that crisp yes or no. And obviously, you don't have crisp yes or no's because you're not looking hard enough.

There's an xkcd about everything is just physics. I believe that's true, all of chemistry is just physics, all of biology is just chemistry, all of psychology is just biology. People fail to appreciate psychology is a better indicator of what can be known. I can't know physics. Quantum Mechanics is famously hard and non intuitive. In every field it's harder and harder to push that edge of knowledge out, because reality at the edges isn't what you think it is. no one "knows" the millions of lines of code that compose the linux kernel. It's too complex. We can dig in and poke around, and some people have fantastically deep understandings, but, 15M is too much. we just can't do it.

Anyway, i missed the deleted comment, i'm sure it was horrible. It wasn't my intention to derail your point.

Yes, you must show a Google user the same page that the Googlebot sees or you risk being de-indexed altogether (they've done it, with some pretty major sites, to send a message). That's why if the click doesn't come from Google it's paywalled, but if it is from Google it isn't paywalled. The practice of showing a different page to users than to the Googlebot is called cloaking and Google hates it.
Google had (has?) an informal "just for fun" Meyers-Briggs type badge on the Intranet. Among people who participate, roughly 65% are either INTJ, INTP, or ENTJ, with a further 10% ENTP. INTJs alone made up about 30% of the company, vs. about 3% of the general population. Only about 10-15% were an S of any type (vs. about 75% of the population).

Yes, there's selection bias on multiple levels here. S-types tend to think that the MBTI is hogwash and so would be underrepresented in any voluntary poll. (The other majorly-overrepresented group was INFJs at ~7-8% vs. about 2% in the general population. In my experience, INFJs are not a significant portion of Google, but they are a significant portion of people interested in the MBTI.) Google also has an INTJ founder and a culture very friendly to INTJs, which skews the numbers inside the company.

But I suspect that if anything, the open-source community would be more biased toward the INTJ/ENTJ/INTP axis. The C#/C++/.NET/Java market has a large number of developers who are in programming because it makes for a good living, which is a more S-based trait.
Yeah, looking at the PRL, it sounds like they're advertising a new theoretical framework for _designing_ antennas, not, like, some new, henceforth-undiscovered law of Electromagnetism.

The LA river revitalization project is a decades-long project that just began 4 years ago. It's already made significant progress in restoring portions of the LA river (though no significant stretches near downtown).

The metro extensions are almost complete for the Expo and Gold lines. Initial preparations for the regional connector connecting the various lines underneath downtown (i.e., utility removal) began 2 years ago. Construction on the Airport Spur and a line connecting the Expo and Purple line (extension) has already begun. This time next year, construction will have begun on the next extension of the Gold line, heading for the eastmost reaches of LA County. (By the way...the Red and Purple lines run every 7 minutes during busy hours, the Blue and Expo lines run every 10. Only the Gold line runs every 12 minutes or less.

Civlavia is held multiple times a year. LA does have more bike lanes than any other city...but LA is also geographically one of the largest cities in the world, so the density of bike lanes is poor.

There is real change in LA, and they're definitely not photo ops.
What mess? The article confirmed that it's pretty much a non-issue. Only 3 out of more than 1,000 removals had anything to do with advertisers and at least 2 of those 3 were legitimate take-downs and probably the 3rd one, too.
"What I didn't is which articles do really make it to the front page?"

The articles that get to the front page are the ones that lots of people find interesting enough to upvote. If your product is really new and different, it might get that kind of response.

"I know I have a low karma. Is this of high importance when trying to get to the frontpage?"

As far as I know, karma doesn't factor into the algorithm that decides if an article gets to the front page. There are occasionally articles from newly created accounts on the front page. However, if you're a well-known user with a reputation for posting good stuff, people might be more likely to click on your article.

If you're a new user, you might want to look at the Guidelines and FAQ links at the bottom of the page.

You're getting IQ and personality type all wrapped up in each other.

Does personality type have any predictive power at all as to what jobs a person is good at? 29% of programmers are INTJ - OK, great, but that doesn't tell you if they're actually any good at it.

IQ is certainly a better predictor of performance, in as much as every job has a lower bound on IQ.

And you're straw-manning the "hard work leads to success" argument. Probably no one - even the staunchest believer in bootstraps - thinks a sub-85 IQ can be the next Bill Gates no matter how hard they work.

> It's not ironic at all that you make a sweeping assumption about me [...] If you don't find this unsettling then you may just be a psychopath!

tit for tat, I guess.

Look, don't take this the wrong way, but my observation is that most INxxs (especially INTJs) put a lot of stock in the MBTI because they believe their type indicates that they're really smart.
Unless the color is random each day, which would make more sense wouldn't it?

Some brainstorming:

- Could be used for entrapment, that is to say, could send over potentially criminal information and argue that the user did in fact "receive" it since it was read.

- If you could inject your own tracker into someone else's email, you might also gleam when and potentially how they read that email.

- One funny thing that came to mind. In Australian contract law (likely similar to the UK from which the laws were adopted), if you email someone an your acceptance to a offer, that acceptance is deemed as received when the email is read (the person becomes aware of the acceptance). Where as with regular postal mail, the offer is accepted when posted (the "postal rule", a nice headache). If you had a tracking code, it would be harder to to argue you weren't aware of the acceptance by email. That is unless your email client pre-fetches images before the email itself is opened...
Much of the rail expansion is rather disappointing. For example in expo phase 2, closer you get to ocean the better spaced the stations are (closer together), but between Bundy and sepulveda, there are no stations and little sane way to go in between, yet Bundy station is less than a mile away from 26th st station.

To add insult to injury, I recently followed the much touted bike path that is supposed to connect to existing SM bike paths at 17th street, but the damned thing ends at Cloverfield with no way that I can tell of safely getting to 17th street or anywhere near a designated bike lane. And no, I do not consider it safe to try and ride on Olympic blvd without a protected lane...

> Imprisonment for a crime is not discrimination.

I wish it was so. Consider however:

* Many laws are and have been discriminatory. For example, laws banning minority activites such as homosexual sex or interracial marriage; laws imprisoning Japanese in WWII or banning forms of political speech in many eras; laws banning peaceful protest during political conventions; laws that penalize poor people's vices (crack, dope) much more harshly than rich people's vices (cocaine, prescription drugs).

* Police enforcement is sometimes discriminatory: Much research supports that some minorities are harassed by law enforcement (e.g., 'driving while black', or stop-and-frisk in major cities). What might be overlooked from a middle-class white can result in jail time for a poor black.

* Prosecutor enforcement is sometimes discriminatory: Research supports that some minorties are charged with harsher crimes than other citizens, for the same behavior. The powerful and connected get a pass.

* Judicial enforcement is sometimes discriminatory: Research supports that convictions and sentencing are harsher for minorities. Also consider the long history of blacks facing all-white juries. Also, the poor have much less access to judicial resources, such as a good lawyer.

There is a long history of blacks, for example, being defenseless against all-white police forces, governments and judicial systems. You can see it today; consider Eric Garner and other recent cases, where people even can be killed with no reprocussions.

The Third Los Angeles is really about how the internet has allowed awareness of otherwise buried treasures of LA to be lost in the noise. The greater Los Angeles area is becoming somewhat what it was intended to be, with the hundreds of surrounding cities converging upon LA as a magnet. Whenever I've attended interesting events in LA, it's never just people from LA proper it's people who've hopped in a car and drove 40 miles to converge with a bunch of other people who've done the same.

I mean that you need to acknowledge the concept of race. Say you're facing a 10% unemployment rate in some city. If you treat everyone as an equal individual, the solution will be some combination of economic changes, lowering taxes, increasing subsidies, whatever.

Now imagine 90% of the unemployed are black, in a city where blacks are the minority. Clearly there is more than an economic problem here. Promoting individual rights is not going to help, because all races have identical rights in this scenario, and businesses should always have the right to not hire someone.

The solution would depend on the underlying problem, but it might very well involve giving some sort of temporary advantage based on race. The parent comment advocated forgetting all race, religion, gender labels, but we can't do that until everybody agrees to let those labels go. Until then, we need to acknowledge race and gender so that we can recognize when a problem exists, and address it.

From a colorblind perspective, race is already solved, right? All races have equal rights, discrimination based on race is illegal, legally we're all good.
