This was intended as a question of motives, not the value of the discussion.

Why is Nature bringing this up only now, and why at all?

The Post's article has more details and a link to the original source (which is behind a paywall): https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/03/2...

Sounds like the core of the issue involves "French cultural exception" which "mandates a 36-month delay between a movie’s theatrical release and streaming date."

It's not clear to me if Cannes cares about the 36-month period (I can't imagine...) as much as theatrical release. If the latter, films like Manchester by the Sea which were released in the theaters would still compete at Cannes.

Seems absurd, particularly that this is enshrined in law, but that's just me.

The lesson of this article is that unfortunate things, that come with a lifetime of grief, happen to good people. And perhaps more importantly, that empathy and understanding are incredibly powerful.

It is true that we should take "the responsibility of driving a lot more seriously, and treating driving as something risky" but treating this as a story about driving less broadly misses the point.

It is mentioned in passing.

I’ve always been curious how much work the average person does per day. It would be a very valuable metric to have for setting expectations - of course we’re all different and listen to yourself, but just to have a ballpark...

I burned myself out at my last gig trying to be nearly 100% productive all the time since expectations are opaque. Sure, “nobody cares how much you work as long as your work gets done” but what about when the work is estimated poorly (and everything is always late...). Too nebulous of a statement.

The 12.5 hours number from the article seems pretty rough given that it’s based only on time spent in app, but it’s something.

This reads like a practical guide to being an adult. Incredibly valuable.

"In a budget proposal obtained by The Washington Post last month, the panel is slated for an 84 percent cut — or $542,000 — from its operating budget. That money typically covers travel and other expenses for outside experts who attend the board’s public meetings.

The reasoning behind the budget cut, said the document, reflects 'an anticipated lower number of peer reviews.'"

Doesn't sound like a "good move for science" to me.

Is there a market for competent developers without professional/academic experience in data science or machine learning? Perhaps just a MOOC or some Kaggle projects?

Disagreed. Lil Woodys, 8 Oz, Great State, etc.

Chrome also shows more detailed HTTP/2 tracing in chrome://net-internals. Select HTTP/2 from the drop-down.

I can hardly put together an IKEA shelving unit in 4 hours...

Would be great if it worked in IE instead of just "Loading..." indefinitely.

The real question is, how is it as a soccer ball?

Very true. I think this also extends to running (non-unit) tests and deploying: doing them often is a hallmark of good development, but running them even on a somewhat frequent basis is a huge time sink. Definitely a tough trade-off.

The Italian government should worry about throwing Berlusconi in prison before they worry about Anonymous.

Not sure I agree with the alternative, but besides that, I think the nail was hit directly on the head.
