OTOH, I'm not sure if the peer review system isn't ripe for disruption anyway.

Peer review is a system that's designed for the old dead-trees world, where space for publishing in print journals was extremely limited, publishing in a print journal was the only way to share knowledge, and you only got one shot at it because there's limited options for fixing errors after the plates are engraved. It's primarily there to ensure a minimum standard for the quality of the paper, not necessarily the research. So what it's really good for ensuring is that the paper explains the research well enough that someone who's reading it (and knows what they're doing) could attempt to replicate the work.

What it is not designed to do, though, is ensure that the research is valid. Peer review can't reliably detect fraudulent data, nor can it reliably detect fabricated data. Heck, it can't even detect p-value fishing, which is a really sobering problem when you consider how many scientists really don't seem to understand why p-value fishing is such a problem in the first place. There's supposed to be a different mechanism for detecting that stuff: replication.

Buy ironcially, replication is something the current journal system actively discourages. Space in journals is a scarce resource. Furthermore, journals are competing with each other for prestige. They've got very little reason to waste space on replicating old findings (booooooooring) when they could be publishing brand new stuff (exciting!). In turn, researchers have very little incentive to try and replicate each other's findings. It's already hard to justify spending money on replicating existing findings. But there's no way in hell a researcher is going to waste their precious resources on work that they wouldn't even be able to get published.

So the long and short of it is, people place far too much trust in peer review. In fact, peer review is a terribly low hurdle. All too often complete junk gets through it about as easily as excellent science. The trick is that it just has to be well written junk.

OTOH, a system that removes barriers to doing replication work - or better yet, starts actively encouraging it - could also do much of the work of peer review. Because then we'd have peers reviewing the actual research and not just things people write about research.
I often bind myself to ethical decisions in business. Taking away the opportunity to do the wrong thing later is a safety feature.
I have to assume you haven't worked with glass much. Maybe artisan glassblowers enjoy it, but at the factory level it's pretty miserable.

It's pretty easy to get injured in spite of safety gear. There are the minor cuts, scrapes and splinters one might experience when dealing with (literal!) tons of broken glass, to say nothing of the times it breaks in your hands. And I was grateful to work on the tempered side. Raw glass breaking when handled is terrifying.

I personally gave first aid to someone whose wrist was slit open by glass. After the ER airlifted to a bigger hospital for reconstructive surgery, he at least retained most of the use of his hand. Note that everyone was issued Kevlar wrist guards (not to mention the jackets, goggles, etc.), so it's not like we were unprepared for such injuries.

Another plant had someone crushed under a forklift just before Christmas when it tipped over when they were emptying a glass hopper. Yet another plant had a sheet of glass break when two people were carrying it. It was raw. It cut open the person's neck and they died. One of the machines used to be called a 'Gas Chamber' (it was used to fill IG units with, e.g. argon). I'll let you guess what sort of incident made them rename that one...

I'm sure there are many more such stories, but I'm including only those I know about directly. There were many other issues as well, I don't have a complete list. I'm deliberately leaving out those issues that could be fixed merely by spending money.
Wikipedia told me this, but the homepage also advertises itself as an e-print service.

Anyway, "it does not have it because it has not happened yet" is exactly my point, because I don't see why it cannot evolve into a publishing platform.
I think the core idea is much simpler than that. It's the notion that falsifiability is the most powerful tool in our arsenal when we try to conceive of theories that explain a certain state of affairs.

The idea you're getting at is that no number of confirming observations can verify a universal generalization -- the reason why we continue to call generally accepted "truths" theories. But we can increase our certainty to the greatest degree possible by trying to test our hypothesis to the greatest degree we can.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_income_tax

>Negative income taxes can implement a basic income or supplement a guaranteed minimum income system.

IIRC it was proposed as a simplification of the means tested welfare. Basically NIT is the most realistic funding for Basic Income I've seen - but it's irrelevant - the incentives stay the same the only difference is that it screws over regular people a little less (depending on how it's funded, I'm unconvinced by any "tax the rich" scheme).

Anyway I was interested in this stuff in college when I took my intro econ classes I never looked in to it further but I'm 100% sure NIT is a basic income scheme.
Perhaps this isn't a situation that permits making light of it.
In LibreSSL, we went big hammer and clear all the bignums, regardless of sensitivity. And so it was that when I bumped into Colin at BSDCan 2014 two weeks later, failure to clear secret bignums from memory was fresh in my mind.

I bumped into Ted again three weeks ago at BSDCan 2015 and he must have had memory leaks on his mind, because the day after the conference ended he sent me an email pointing out a memory leak in Tarsnap. (Harmless, since it's in a we're-about-to-exit error path, but worth $10 anyway.)
You might be able to credibly defend it, but it's still depressingly silly that we're cut off from a large swath of our extensible-by-design protocol stack.

These days, people justify HTTP for everything with the argument that opening up a TCP socket is not guaranteed to work as reliably as HTTP-over-TCP.

They might be right, but god that sucks.

It is true that, in general, this quiz is impossible to guess, for the reasons you explain.

But in this case -- which is the main point of the article -- it was actually a trivial rule. No tricks, no special cases. The real purpose wasn't for you to find the actual rule, but to learn about your biases. The only trick here lies in the human mind, and its tendency to validate patterns (and claim an early victory) instead of trying to refute them.
yes. I enabled "Im an experienced user" option. Then one can see a matrix with two columns in the uBlock menu. Left one is global.

ESnet | Network Automation and Analytics Engineer | Berkeley, CA

ESnet is looking for an engineer with an interest in writing software to provision, automate, monitor and analyze networks. You will be part of a small, agile team of three to five people that is developing the data and analytics platform which is used by ESnet to manage and understand our nationwide, high capacity science network.

ESnet provides the high-bandwidth, reliable connections that link scientists at national laboratories, universities and other research institutions, enabling them to collaborate on some of the world's most important scientific challenges including energy, climate science, and the origins of the universe. Our vision is that scientific progress will be completely unconstrained by the physical location of instruments, people, computational resources, or data.

Our current network is a 100G backbone connecting sites throughout the US with 340G of capacity across the Atlantic to reach CERN and other European partners. We carry the data from the LHC experiments to collaborator sites in the US amongst many other things.

Apply here: https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&...

This is a full time position. Our preference is for onsite at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in Berkeley, CA but remote work is also possible.

Is there any way an outside person can somehow help the cause of human rights protection for North Koreans? I understand that it's the place where the worst things on Earth are happening in our times, but have no slightest idea if it's anyhow possible to help the oppressed people...

edit:

Wikipedia suggests e.g. this: http://www.libertyinnorthkorea.org/ (via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_in_North_Korea, via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_North_Korea#In...) as a charity rescuing NK defectors hiding in China into US. That said, can one anyhow confirm if they do what they advertise? Still, I plan to try donating regularly to them anyway now (which may be cumbersome without a credit card), unless I manage to find something looking even better anyhow.

Another option from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea_Strategy_Center ("sent over (...) 400 radio sets (...) into North Korea" -- I recall people living under communist regime in the past as mentioning that radio is important for giving a glimpse of a different, better world; also from "NKSC's History": "While [the future founder of NKSC] Kang Cheol Hwan lived in North Korea he remembers being influenced by foreign South Korean radio broadcasts which helped him decide to defect from the country after having lived 10 years in the Yodok Political Prison Camp.")

Also, I'm not from US.
I recently left IBM. If it relates to your job yes, if IBM can use it then even better. IIRC if you don't open source it, IBM can claim ownership of it because you developed it in Company time (and possible on company machines). If you don't open source it or make it free, IBM might try sell it.
Just be humble in knowing that the technology landscape today is vast and ever-expanding.

> "Besides that, asking any government to take money from the people, run it through the giant bureaucracy machine, and magically produce a net benefit to the people is both logically impossible and naturally never going to happen."

Your logic is sound, but you've misunderstood something crucial.

Where does money come from? In short, money is created in one of two ways; by government spending and by bank loans. All money that exists in the rest of the monetary system was originally formed in one of these two ways.

From the viewpoint of the worker, money exists only after something of value is created, after all that's how we get paid, we do the work then the money ends up in our bank account.

But in reality, money exists before we earn it. The money in my bank account and your bank account isn't 'ours' before it's someone else's.

The way that money is spent into an economy has a large role to play in the the quality of life of a society that is based on money as a medium of exchange. Some of the ways the money is created can be destructive to the economy (for example, when mortgage values increase faster than wage values), whereas other ways can boost the activity of an economy (for example, healthcare spending).

The role that the banking industry plays in the creation of money has the potential to undermine the social good that UBI could offer, but I don't want to detract from the main point, and the main point is this; understanding how money is created is very useful in understanding how to get the best out of the systems we build on top of money.

UBI organised by a government can just be a different way to spend new money into the system. Aside from the usual effects of inflation it doesn't have to involve your savings or earnings at all.
My idea would be to either restrict access (to certain areas, such as comments and reviews) to verified groups. Initially I would say to verify users through universities and/or use a computer automated system to rank each user, determining whose opinion to weight heavily and whose to dismiss.

I would also make reviews public and name-and-shame any caught review fixing (if proper evidence is available), which would be the bigger problem imho. But again, I think this is something we should also be able to detect using proper algorithms. If a user Alice always rates the papers by Bob highly, even when others disagree, perhaps her opinion of Bob's work is not to trustworthy.
Yes, this is definitely the case.
IMO there is no excuse for the lack of login rate limiting in Wordpress core. Drupal has had this for years and it causes no usability problems at all, while making it almost impossible to brute-force an admin session. It just boggles my mind that it takes a plugin to provide this basic protection on WP.

It surely is, but beware that unlike fields like social networking which makes money from idle and bored people, scientists have a lot of things to get busy and excited about and are much harder to convince, unless there is some real advantages coming up.

> They are talking about populations, not individuals.

I don't have the book handy, but I think the topic was about genetic differences across individuals, at least I think that's what Pinker was arguing.

For the rest of what you said, of course environment plays a large part as well.
Another name for phenomenon is: "reality". And the typical way non-"computer science researchers" overcome it is through a system known as "working" or "doing work". As a software developer, I sometimes do so much work in a day that I can barely write a line of code.
Generally the way slaves were captured was that the Europeans would approach a west African tribal chief and give him an ultimatum. Either you bring us a boatload of slaves from the interior or we'll just take you and your people. The Africans weren't making a profit either way.

The Europeans deserve 100% of the blame for the slave trade.
I'd tend to think most pg'ers would want to use their everyday pg tools to setup their db's. For most, that's going to be command line tools, which sounds like what you are not having fantastic success using.

If embedding here-documents inside scripts isn't to your liking, perhaps you should either separate out the seed scripts and cat them in, or have your app-server take on more responsibility for seeding. Systems like Liquibase used by Dropwizard are an example of a more formalized way of performing initial seed, an example of something that might be more what you are looking for if shell scripts are proving difficult to operate.
You didn't have social services/food charities/local church/neighbors etc. ?

There is a difference between not having food sometimes and starving. Minimum income doesn't fix that either - there will be people who will spend their kids food money on other things.

Pretty cool! It would be nice if they could adapt it for use in other things; for example profile pictures that raise awareness of things like SOPA/CISPA/TPP/etc.

I could imagine them not wanting to saturate Facebook with a new thing every week so it would probably be limited, and I could also imagine them not wanting to take risks by supporting political action that isn't as popular.

There was an effort to build bitmap indexes for Postgres a few years ago. There are details in the mailing list archives. It looks like it was almost completed! It's high on my list of things to tackle if I ever get time to start contributing, but maybe someone else will get to it first.
I like the potential of this, but not sure how filling out forms could be automated just yet. In a former life, I worked as a legal secretary and there always seemed to be subtle requirements I would have to fulfill like knowing how many copies something needed, who got which copy, and being able to fill out docket sheets based upon lawyer workload and client timing. I eventually developed a suite of tools that helped me in my day to day tasks, but some I couldn't imagine how to automate in a meaningful way.

That said, the best thing I ever developed was my own filing system which ran in parallel with official office filing. I had a folder per case and client which I would keep raw documents and an electronic signed version of our pleadings. I would also have a digital copy of the other side's pleadings run through OCR. This process involved day-to-day work to keep it up to date, BUT it allowed me to answer questions like "Which pleading was it that they filed which said x a month ago?" in seconds instead of minutes/hours without robust search.
The "tech stack != career" is on my mind lately since the "stack" terminology seems to be really in vogue these days. Like, I hadn't even heard of a "full stack engineer" until a few years ago and now it's everywhere - which I think is because it ultimately amounts to "general-purpose programmer" and that's actually what most businesses need most of the time.

Everyone(who's been around long enough) knows that the technology churns and real progress is slow, but I think this kind of fashion is based on employee marketability - nobody wants to be just a code monkey, after all.

He was professionally established in leadership positions, both in the private and public sector. This man did well for himself.

I would say the situation there was beyond the realm of moral judgment. When you have a society like that you're in law of nature territory.

I agree with everything you've said, and intensely dislike almost all uses of 'grok', as well as 'cromulent' and 'embiggen'. But one thing you don't mention in your comments, and that I have trouble putting my finger on, is exactly how the use of an exclusionary in-group term causes harm. What is the harm, and how is it caused? Unlike the original shibboleth, anyone can properly pronounce 'grok' if they want to prove their allegiance. What makes you resist?

I typically do 1-2 pro-bono projects a year, but I have yet to do one for a Charity or non-profit. They've been a great opportunity to build a portfolio, practice skills I may not get to use often, and experiment with new techniques.

While I haven't donated labor on a project for a charity or non-profit, I wouldn't be opposed if the right project came my way when I had the availability.
That's the common tactic of argument these days. The notion of "criticism" has been re-cast as "hate". Hate is more easily dismissed, ridiculed, and trivialized.
Yes, it's a bit of a red herring. Or it was, until you gave it away :) I guess next time we'll have to demand EBCDIC.
This surprised me. To be honest, I've seen a lot of "information" (and misinformation) about North Korea, and the media makes jokes about them to a degree that it's been difficult for me to tell what's real and what's not.

I knew it was probably pretty bad, but I did not know exactly how bad. There's no way they could all starve and have no internet, right? That seemed like one of the exaggerations to me. But this article implies (and what develops will likely prove) that there are in fact many serious human rights violations going on in that country though, so this helps a lot.

Edit: I understand why this could be seen as ignorance, so I understand the downvotes. However, I want to clarify that my comment is more about the impact that the media has, at least on me, in actually reducing the perceived "terribleness" of North Korea. Perhaps I am just too easily influenced and uninformed.
Hopefully this will turn out to be true, and something detrimental to the NK regime, and not one of the many false, ridiculous stories about North Korea we've been hearing over the past few years -- everything from "he was fed to dogs" to "prisoners shot with anti-aircraft missiles!".
Perhaps that code is a bit misleading. The schema itself is defined and provided by the server. The idea being that a server would build up it's type definitions, and then call into graphql's executor providing both the schema the server defined (in code) as well as the query the client provided (as a network request)
