I think OP is talking more about city streets, so high speed literature and the Solomon curve doesn't apply so much. There are two distinct behaviors here. Lane splitting happens when the cars are moving. Filtering happens when the car

Surprised not to see this [1] cited next to the Yale study for the sake of completeness. [1] http://www.pnas.org/content/112/17/5360.abstract

>VCs investing disproportionately in male CEOs is hardly surprising because even if they have no bias, they know their money is on the line for someone who will be up against the rest of the tech and business world, with all of its bias.

I'd love to see the JS too. Great viz!

Finding the Green's function for a nasty differential-difference equation. Great stuff, but I feel sooo embarrassed thinking back on how I attacked this kind of problem back then.

I disagree with the author's sense that the Big Lie is still necessary. I really doubt that fewer companies will be founded, or fewer people will join them if we were more honest. Maybe early employees will get more equity as a result

A few weeks down the line and you'd better know which ones are worth your time! And the cost of context switching may be worth it for diluting risk.

In addition to this, there are differing scales at work. In real life, by your analogy, you might find a cinder block with a "throw me" note. With the internet, you might find a button that says "throw 1.4M cinder blocks.&quo

What a terrible medium with which to convey that message. I'm sorry to see this kind of excuse for a story for the second time this week.

For some models, linear regression included, there may be a closed form solution, but it might just be too expensive to compute. In particular, high dimensions can screw everything and sparsity can allow much cheaper solutions, so sometimes

I think it's a much more interesting question to ask who owns the output if it is trained on copywritten data. It works by iteratively tweaking the image to look more like whatever it looks most like. It's not hard to imagine that

I'm assuming that if there's a safe way to do it, there's also an unsafe way to do it even further ("crank it up to 11"). I'm sure it would be a really strong temptation for a lot of people. That's what I

Best diet ever. I wonder how many people would abuse this and crank everything up to 11 just to burn calories.

I think long names are relative. Jokes like these[1] don't come from a vacuum. I've seen serious code with sentence-long variable names before, and it does make it hard for me to read at a glance. [1] https://github.com

I think that line is new. I saw it earlier this morning and seriously debated whether or not it was serious.

Can you explain how such a split works? My understanding was that after those things, everyone still has the same percent of the company as before, right? So how does that affect your payout? Forgive me for being naive.

This seems like it should be a no brainer. Otherwise it's nearly as crazy as accepting an offer where the company won't tell you the salary until after you take the job.

Just because there's an unsubscribe button doesn't mean it's not spam.

It's amazing. It almost makes me feel sick to realize how large it would appear, despite how unimaginably far away it is. It simply does not compute.

I don't think there's anything off about people having vested interests in what they're saying. Look at it the other way and it's just putting their money where their mouth is.

The problem here is feedback. The higher rated ones get higher rated, so more people see it so it gets higher rated. That opens up a whole extra can of worms you don't want to deal with.

Yeah, I really wish there was a solution that wasn't 'nuke all flash by default.' If there were a 'nuke all flash with sound by default, except for dedicated video sites (e.g. youtube)' that would be ideal.

Does anyone know a good adblock-like firefox extension that keeps videos from playing on pages like this? I hate it so so so much.

Even so, nobody kicks to the full 15m in the 50 free (the shortest, fastest event in swimming).

I don't mean that current trends are evidence against it. I mean the physics is against it being any different from dolphin kick anywhere but right at the surface. The rest of my argument was why dolphin kick isn't faster than fre

It's very meta to realize that this blog post is marketing too. Great execution of the "useful marketing" idea.

God I hate these titles. It's potentially faster than dolphin kicking within about a foot of the surface, or in very shallow water. That's all. If you're trying to swim fast, your underwater is going to be deeper and that las
