Those mammoths suggest the presence of rather substantial amounts of greens, unless they belonged to a rare variety of ketogenic mammoths (an ecosystem consisting of mammoths all the way down?).
Many sites also put it in the title text (tooltip, i.e., hover / long press). When that fails, I often find it by inspecting the element and looking at every attribute of the elements within 1 level on the tree. Horrible experience.
I think Yahoo Answers was highly indexed by Google in like 2010.

But for years now, I've never seen a Yahoo Answers link in my search results. You have things like Reddit now highly indexed which has far less silly answers and questions through actually having moderation.

I doubt its getting much traffic, and if it is, it's probably providing a bad look to the brand.

Isn't phoenix meant to remove the JS dependency on FE dev? (Not arguing with any of your points btw, JS is matter-of-factly more popular and pragmatic).
To be fair, maybe the OP was hoping they'd provide an explanation as to why. I have the same question too and I don't presume to be smarter than they are.
It's funny because to a lot of people making DAPPs is as pointless as Factorio (though I think I may just be putting Ethereum poo-poo out there in general).

That said, I've been feeling similarly - playing on Steam and seeing folks w/ massive play times thinking, I should go do something productive.

Where did you start off for learning DAPPs? Do you have any goals in mind?
Quite a quick read and sounds somewhat better than knee-jerk reactions people might have

The 3 policy changes in the paper :

```
Evidence suggests that three priority policies
would have the greatest impact in reducing over all firearm homicide rates:

• Universal background checks;

• Prohibition of gun possession by people
with a history of any violent misdemeanor,
threatened violence, or serious alcohol-relat ed crime or subject to a domestic violence restraining order. This must be accompanied by:
(1) a requirement that firearms already in their possession be surrendered;
(2) a procedure for confiscating guns if they are not relinquished voluntarily;
and
(3) procedures for confiscating guns in situations where a person becomes
prohibited from owning firearms after having passed an earlier background
check;

• Extreme risk protection order laws that allow removal of firearms from an individual who, after due process, is deemed to represent a threat to
themselves or others

There's one in Swindon which I did recently. I was surprised at how intuitive it felt. Or maybe I was surprised I made it to the other side...

"my view of Gaza and Palestine is very narrow because all we see on TV is Israel mass murdering everyone in Palestine" This is a very mature realization, and a great example of how media can distort reality. It is far more complex and nuanced than that. I suggest you check out sources from beyond Pakistan and try to learn more about what is going on.
Link-16 is JTIDS. It doesn't have any connection to flight controls or any controls of anything it's deployed in (which is just about everything). It's also type-1 encrypted.
What has to happen will happen. Remember the quote (wrongly attributed to Gandhi): "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win". Cryptocurrencies are now between the "then they laugh at you" and the "then they fight you" stage.

In the next 2 or 3 years there will be more and more noise about cryptos. And yes, a lot of the disadvantages of Bitcoin itself are going to be shown, and other Cryptocurrencies are going to displace it. There will always be people naysaying Cryptocurrencies, but at the end, they will be massively adopted.
I do think btc will suck the oxygen out of golds value (and arguably is right now). If the value is less, mining is less. If mining is less, land destruction and fossil fuel energy usage goes down.
It takes several orders of magnitude less energy to clear a transaction on the VISA network. It's a totally bogus claim.

I think you're getting flagged for personal attacks and slurs (e.g. "You're just an American who wants to hate someone"), which is quite different than telling your story.

I totally get and appreciate why you have strong feelings on the topic. But we can't have comments breaking the rules like that here.
Obvious. Radar invisibility is justifiably valuable to the air force, but it's also almost-prohibitively-expensive.

It's not even a cost-benefit thing, because the benefit is there... But you don't want that cost on every plane.

Tim Krieder said it best: "we have radar-invisible planes and our enemies don't have radar".

For the Al Qaedas and Isises of the world that the US seems to fight so much, the F-35 is absurdly overspecced.
Yes, it is expensive. Not just 750, you also have to pay another 750 for deployment license per production environment. And it is 1200 if your devs are working on more than one project.

That said, I'd argue it is still worth it, assuming you can afford it. It will save you tons of developer time down the road. Their documentation is top notch too.

For example, it has graphs built in! I have never seen any grid library do that.

Again, not affiliated with them in any shape or form, just a happy customer (trying to get a discount from them though, ha!)
> Most markdown parsers don’t work properly you begin with. The issue isn’t the text written. It’s poor parsers.

I think this isn't exactly fair, in that it seems to mislocate the problem——Markdown itself is so underspecified (I think Gruber never really expected it to take off the way it did) that the meaning of 'Markdown' can vary wildly from place to place, as a result of which there's no simple, universal test suite, and it's hard to tell on what sort of edge (or not-so-edge) cases your homerolled parser will trip until you actually deploy it (at which point people have come to rely so much on its quirks that it's difficult to fix it).
Because you either invest in language features or editor features.

I agree but most languages are built by single persons or very small teams. They have to select their battles. The last languages developed with that in mind were in order: TypeScript (essentially only for editors), Kotlin (developed by an IDE company) and C# (developed in a HUGE team including a huge IDE team next office door).
Is this really AI? This seems like simple classification and ranking. Honestly I didn't see anything new in there that hasn't been around for the past 10 years. KNN? NDCG? That's entry level ML. TFA does throw around neural networks a bit, but doesn't go into any detail.

EDIT: Maybe I'm just thrown off by the "Powered by AI" part of the article title. I was expecting more I suppose.
Been fighting quadriceps tendinitis for 3 years, and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of quality research surrounding tendon regeneration. Living in the US with odd insurance limits for physical therapy has definitely set me back. If you run into issues with that, Martin Koban wrote a book on patellar tendinitis and has an updated online course with a recommended program for tendon strengthening. It’s the only thing that’s helped me so far
Look, I'm didn't say that the US is a beacon of morality, what I'm saying is that China is significantly less moral than the US, and I gave a direct apples to apples example. Pointing out that the US participated in the Iraq war is not really on topic at all, because the US is the sole flag-bearer of free trade on the high seas in our global economic system--no one else has the navy to do it and nobody else has to maintain that machine. The US hasn't kidnapped and tortured any consulate employees recently, which China just did.

Why is that bad?
I've done this kind of work, and my first thought is that you're seriously underestimating the difficulty in getting data consolidated in one place at most companies. The barriers aren't technical, they are things like sprawling poorly designed databases, critical information found in disparate systems, and having to work with uncooperative DBAs who want to maintain their private empires. (You may also have smaller data volumes. That definitely helps performance!)

Your experience is in a young startup which hasn't accumulated layers of legacy cruft, with a reasonable schema, where you understand the data model, and you have good relations with key players you need to cooperate with. As a result you encountered none of the common problems that are endemic in more established companies.

I say this as warning, not discouragement. As you pursue this course, be warned that you will encounter those problems and they will take more time than you think. Be prepared for that, don't over promise, and when you arrive at a company pay attention to those possible roadblocks so that they don't catch you by surprise. Because forewarned is fore armed.
There were a lot of problems and issues in analyzing what happened last summer in Iran. With the Web Ecology Project we grabbed every tweet that we could find pertaining to the election, before and for over a month afterward. We got them all and released a paper on what we found (http://www.webecologyproject.org/2009/06/iran-election-on-tw...).

We did pay attention to language issues. None of us were experts in any arabic languages, but we did make efforts to search for specific keywords in Farsi.

Another huge problem, was that so many people on Twitter changed their location in attempts to 'protect' people on the ground there. I was unconvinced from day 1 of the efficacy of this attempt, but it certainly did make data analysis on a geographic basis rather hard.

I'm sad that in the end there really was little to no effect on things in Iran. The election was rigged and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Complete revolution wasn't an option and the international community couldn't do anything either without just overthrowing the country and additionally destabilizing the area.

There is something called a decision making reserve. You consume this over the weekdays. During the weekend you are bankrupt and all the 'time wasting' is actually critical for you to build up the reserves for the coming week.

This system exists for your own good. Do not try to fight it. Understand it, instead.

Understanding your power/limitations is the first stepping stone to realize your dreams. Once you do that and internalize it, you will know how to unleash the power.

Lastly, always remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
The big difference PURE has with other templating engine is the total separation between the HTML representation and the JS logic.

As a result the JS code is live at rendering time and not stringified, allowing to pass functions as parameters and closures.

As the authors of the lib, we use it in production and are very satisfied of the speed. Some prominent newspapers here in Belgium are using it as well for some parts of their sites.

Thanks for the link.
Well, I said "surprised if", not "surprised that".

The eur-lex link I mentioned lists precisely that site (legifrance) for France. But as I don't read French and don't know the particulars, what puzzles me is what is the additional value of putting the same thing in Github. The maintenance burden seems horrific unless you can pull it automatically, and even then the actual benefit of using Github is not so clear to me.
That works for small projects, but doesn't scale brilliantly. At some point, many projects need to handle more bug reports than one person can realistically handle in their spare time, and totally unstructured freeform text slows things down on top of that.

As an additional data point, BTU isn't used in Britain very much these days. As with germany, kilowatt-hour is the preferred unit of (heating) energy.
The Norwegian laws: https://lovdata.no/info/information_in_english

It's a financially independent (it has a "pro" version) non-profit owned by the department of justice and the faculty of law of the University of Oslo. It is an official source and as such laws published there are officially, legally published and it has been that way since 2001. Laws relevant to private citizens are available for free. It's pretty neat.
I see, that indeed looks like a good example. Does it only work for newly changed laws? i couldnt find any other versioncontrolled articles.
I like chunkhost and have a vps there, but the admin interface is still incredibly rudimentary. You can't really do anything other than reboot, create, destroy and reimage. Still, I'm a happy chunkhost customer, I think they have great potential and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a simple, cheap VPS.
Note the astute comment 2nd from the top pointing out that a lot of the Californians are headed to Oregon, which is not a "low tax" state. Oregon's taxes are actually fairly progressive: no sales tax (which tends to hit lower income people more), and a higher income tax, IIRC. Basically, they're moving there because it's indubitably cheaper, and the quality of life is higher (not such a rat race).
Thanks for the suggestion! I still haven't read Queinnec's book after all these years. Are you suggesting that I might come to different conclusions after reading his book?

My conclusion was:

> With this approach, it should be possible to get a very slow language,

> with flexibility something like Python's, into maybe 2000-6000 bytes

> of a microcontroller's ROM. This should allow you to interactively

> get out-of-memory errors with great convenience and flexibility.
My favorite listening approach is silence. Instead of responding to speech by the other person with my own talking, as is the usual style, I intentionally remain silent, and it's amazing what people say to fill the "void".
Well put. Would be entertaining to see the same basic maths with an adjustment for probability of success. E.g. "if you feel the extra confounder increases your odds of success 40% ..."

A few comments, not even necessarily quibbles:

Don't most people who get a heart attack die from their first one, with I assume little cost to the system? Of course the general improvements with so many problems means that more people are living long enough to get cancer....

The cost of cancer treatment is high enough that it probably swamps primary care, but one should still run the numbers. Large populations can have results that are non-intuitive to most, e.g. the increased costs of much preventive medicine due to the large numbers that need to be constantly screened to find a few true positives. If I didn't have a family history of aggressive prostate cancer (great-grandfather, 1 out of 6 uncles) I'd listen to my doctor's discouragement on getting yearly PSA testing (now that I'm 49, and yes, I know the test is rather iffy, how iffy I'll learn about after a baseline is established and/or before someone wants to do a biopsy (ouch)). Then again, I'll be paying the full cost of most of those tests.

WRT specialists and outcomes, raw full population outcomes aren't as useful for the individual considering options. In theory/in general the specialist will be able to go beyond the raw numbers and have a better idea of which option is the best bet.

I myself just can't understand the compliance problem ... although I do see the lack of appreciation of complex/the full system issues; even though I ended up going in the directions of chemistry and computers, my early medicine and biology learning was really beneficial.

I myself find the online guides to be useful (well, the Merck Manual is lots cheaper on-line for free :-), for me the biggest limitation in using them is not knowing what's normal. E.g. that tongue coating under these circumstances is no problem, maybe stop taking your antibiotic a couple of days early sort of thing. I know most people aren't in a position to get enough useful out of them to seriously "bend the cost curve", to draw this back to the main topic.

I'd never consider otitis media to be simple, it just obviously isn't, too much hidden, too much guesswork, especially since outcomes are so often ... not optimal (e.g. I lost some hearing in one ear due to one infection in the '70s, a girlfriend as well in the '80s).

Anyway, thanks for the intelligent discussion.
But why not just write good documentation for the existing system? Then you have the best of both worlds: Good documentation and a system which actually works.
I used to call it "overly-clever syndrome", but "paternalistic software" is way better. Thanks for this word.
Where is this type of event? I'm in Europe (the Netherlands, to be more precise) and I have been trying to meet people who are more business-minded for years, but I can't seem to find any events like the one you describe. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places?
There is one crucial aspect of the TV experience this argument leaves out.

Content - An Apple television would present some cool options for new apps and games, but the lean back experience would be no different than with a current TV. People want their Madmen, football, Nascar, Walking Dead, etc. and you will need to buy that through cable companies (for now). If Apple makes a TV it will look awesome and have some neat tricks, but it will be a "Dumb Screen" for whatever comes through the set top box. That seems like a losing solution for Apple.

I think a more likely scenario is that Apple buys a Cable provider like Comcast and replaces the horrible set top box with an Apple version. Why?

Apple's huge cash position - Apple has more than $50B in free cash and are adding ~$10B a quarter. They have made repeated statements about keeping that money available for one or more major strategic investments. They could conceivably have enough money to buy Comcast by the end of this year.

Why this works:

- Fits their vertically integrated model perfectly. Now Apple will own the customer experience from end to end.

- Creates a wedge that will force other carriers to offer an Apple set top box.

- Forces all the content providers to play ball with Apple. If Apple owns the pipes the content co's will lose a lot of negotiating power.

- It is a great high margin business, well suited to the Tim Cook era where device innovation might be slower.

- It is a hedge against Net Neutrality. If the cable co's get their way it could negatively impact the Apple UX, especially for iPad.

In this scenario Apple can take on a high margin business with a host of barriers to entry and milk it while they reimagine what the TV experience should be for the next 20 years. I have no doubt that we will see a beautiful aluminum TV made by Apple at some point, but if they don't figure out the infrastructure foundation first it will not work.
I'm not sure if the competition between developers is the biggest problem in the Android Market. What makes it hard seems to be a combination of the number of people using the Market and how willing they are are spend money. From my limited experience, it seems about an order of magnitude harder to get Android users to open their wallets than iOS users.

Big no. And it shouldn't be a close decisions for you - this is way too much work to do for someone you aren't working for. Who in 2022 is asking for 1000 words as an explanation? And who is actually reading it???

Fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing.

We launched our startup http://lanyrd.com/ while travelling around the world - we got ill in Casablanca, Morocco during Ramadan, so we hired an apartment for three weeks and launched the first version of the site. We've continued to work on it while travelling around Egypt and South Africa.

Now that the site's starting to take off we're planning on staying in the same place for a few months (still outside of our home country), but so far we've found balancing the two less difficult than we had expected.
If produced in mass numbers, these things could replace satellites for most communication tasks.
A quick spin back through my blog reveals that I've been shamefully lax on writing about the actual mechanics of running a software company from the road. I'll need to do something about that.

In the meantime, here's a quick overview of what I've been up to since I started working from the road:

http://www.expatsoftware.com/articles/2006/12/getting-it-dow...

From a financial perspective, it's completely counterintuitive that traveling is actually a lot cheaper than staying at home. But if you think about it a minute, it starts to make sense. Imagine you cut your rent and car payment down to zero (by ditching both car and apartment), as well as all the little bills that went along with them. Now replace that with the comparatively small expense of staying in $5/night accommodation, and otherwise living on about $20/day.

When I was planning my first long trip, taking the $2,000/month "keep life in the US alive" line-item out of the spreadsheet extended my $10k budget from 2 months to 10 months. Bill a day per month, and yes, you're pretty much set for life. Of course, you're only set for life if you don't plan on coming home, so it's probably best to leave a bit in reserve for when you do.

> Military action has a nationality to it, and we don't know who it was

That doesn't preclude it from being military action. For example, there were Italian submarines involved in sinking ships during the Spanish Civil war, and at the time the nationality of the submarines wasn't known. But no-one would classify that as not being military action.

Quite possibly the identity of the people behind Stuxnet will emerge over the next few decades.
