If you believe in the Constitution, there really is no "other side" to this issue. The intent of the 4th amendment is clear. It says, in plain English, The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated...

There is no reasonable way to reconcile this with taking things from people on little to no evidence based on a lawsuit against the items rather than the owners.
Despite the criticism, the world could use more forward thinking billionaires.

Imagine if all that money from Saudi oil or from Carlos Slim went to space research.
> in low memory conditions

That's why Firefox is switching to "infallible memory allocation" [1]. It's okay for Firefox to do that because Firefox is a top-level application, not a damn OS kernel.

I like Mr. Andreesen and all, but an Op-Ed by a VC heavily invested in Bitcoin technology constitutes "research"?
Yeah, they exist in a select few workstation class Xeon boards. Intel announced those (server-targeted) chips in 2012, they take time to show up even in this high end niche. As there haven't been any announcements about mass market parts, it would be a small miracle if they showed up this year.
Thanks for pointing that out. TL;DR I guess.
Reading this all I can think of are the "ractors" in Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age).

It's more like a hacker reading group -- like an academic reading group -- except for coding. Reading group is not a catchy name though =P
yeah, that's just called gambling and stupid money. a basic task of money management is monitoring how correlated a portfolio is, and putting all of it in one basket is the opposite being mindful in that way.

it's also a good reminder of an economic reason for why we don't want wealth concentrating, because the chances of it be allocated efficiently fall. concentration worsens the effect of poor allocation. if that money was split among 1000 investors, a few would act stupidly, but a few would allocate exceptionally, and the many would be somewhat average, giving a much better overall outcome for the same amount of capital.

the more widely dispersed capital is, and the more dynamic an economy is, the more opportunities for capital to find its best use. it makes sense then why efforts along these lines (dispersion and dynamism) are vehemently opposed by the already wealthy. it's not because of capitalistic purity, but the threat it represents to their own power and influence.

Matt Taibbi said something during the 2008 financial crisis that has always stuck with me, paraphrasing: “Look at the figure a corporation pays in a fine to a regulator, multiply it by 10, and you’ll have roughy the amount they profited from their misdeed.”
I can't speak to Bill Gates' motives, but there is the old saying "Invest in land, they aren't making more of it". Land as a store of wealth may be one of the bigger reasons.

>There's no single concept of nature that's understood completely. For example, there are a lot of things still understood pretty vaguely about milk. Or apples. So you can say that about pretty much anything.

But that is practically untrue (I'm not just saying there are corner cases, but that the main topic is still very poorly understood) and a cop-out.

And yet I can speak concretely about a hydrogen atom. Or even photosynthesis. Or DNA.

In DNA, there are 4 base pairs. We can see how that maps to RNA and how that in turn codes to amino acids. (and exceptions exist to these things, but we have a pretty strong grasp on it.) We can even try to fold the resulting Amino Acids into shapes, although it's computationally very difficult to do so. So data storage within a cell has some concrete understanding. Empirically validated and useful (this is how we were able to engineer the mRNA vaccines).

Our knowledge of memory, our knowledge of data storage in the brain is far less concrete. And not just because it's not thought to be precisely molecular like DNA or RNA (although perhaps it could be!) but we have a poor grasp of even where, precisely, information is stored in the connections. Like, sure, you can say it's not stored in a particular location in 3D space, but there must be some transformation, some (non-euclidian) representation of the connections where memories CAN be located. Because our brains are capable of recalling memories on demand. But we have only a vague understanding of how that all occurs. It's very unlike DNA or RNA or whathaveyou in that our understanding is still primitive and vague.
Le Sigh, during COVID I don't go anywhere. Carrying a monitor is not a problem. But when I traveled, many co-working spaces offer halfway decent monitors for rent. And if you're staying for a while, you can buy one locally and honestly just leave it there when you go. We're talking about $200. It's just part of the cost of being a digital nomad (which you totally make up in many other ways).

Oh, but chairs for me are not a problem. I have been a very happy standing-worker for 13 years now. It started with hip and lower back pain in my early 30s, which seemed f'd up, and then some articles by a Mayo Clinic doctor who worked standing and sometimes on a treadmill. Turns out, it was good advice. Now I stand all day - sometimes 18 hours, and don't even notice. (To be clear, you always move a bit, shift your weight, etc.; it's not being a statue.)
It depends on what I'm doing. I do video calls from my desktop as I have all the lighting, microphones, and good webcam set up. And I'll also use the multiple monitors if I need a lot of reference material. But if I'm just writing something or doing email, I'm perfectly happy just working on a laptop and probably do it more than using my desktop.
I sent him one on WhatsApp, it was read, but didn't reply. Now they don't arrive anymore. I guess he blocked me?
Getting different results is pretty common. But getting the same results isn't very rare. The article points to studies showing MBTI and Big 5 repeatability are comparable.

It was inspired by Jung's theories. It doesn't rely on them.

MBTI related literature stresses it measures preferences not abilities. It says no type is better than any other. And it tends to encourage developing what doesn't come naturally.
Wow it would stun me if people were this stupid but I guess it is possible.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.“ -disputed John Steinbeck quote
They have 1000 employees.

If we assume that 100 of those worked full time for 2 years on a game, at a salary of $33k USD per year (Game designers in Poland are CHEAP!!)... That works out to $6.6M.

So a price of $1M seems pretty reasonable for a copyright-ignoring competing game house to buy all that code to have something to work from. It's a bit on the high side considering any resulting game would never be able to be sold anywhere in Europe/the US.
The article itself is Whataboutism.
Computers (other than smart phones) aren't really fashion accessories, though. They're tools. Just like you don't see people upgrading their vacuum cleaner every year, I'm sure most people won't be upgrading their computers every year, unless the old ones just don't run some software they need or want to run.
The best part of this app is you are not only giving it a feature to perform an operation but also educating users with a library that they can use. Great job.

Banks generally have terrible track of record for security across the globe. But they usually have large and agressive legal departments so no sensible white hat ever gonna touch them with a ten-foot pole. At least they wont ever be allowed to publish results of security audit.
If those people need a proper sealed mask now, they also needed a proper sealed mask before covid-19. In actuality they were not wearing a mask at all unless they were either Japanese or usually in a hospital/nursing home/hospice and on a short trip outside to see a specialist.

That being said, I have breathing problems and the combination of masks and cold weather is awful. I'd love to wear something that released the moisture. It wouldn't be nice to the people around me, though, and I can just get away from people to take a break if I need it.
A lot of projects publish to Central from cloud CIs. That means that private keys are stored in config/secrets. It is debatable whether that makes the artifacts more reliable since you have to trust the CI.
Oh, that's sobering. All the referenced modeling seems to start with hypothetical batteries many times lighter than we have, and even then they only give minor emissions reduction hardly beyond what we are used to from e.g. succeeding generations of 737. And only under the assumption that the electricity used is completely emission-free.

And why even bother modeling constant power split? You might just as well linearly interpolate between conventional and an all-electric design and call it a day. Everything interesting about hybrid propulsion happens when the ratio is varied with power demand.

What's interesting is how much mass they account on the electric side in addition to the battery. This kind of validates H3X.

Do you have any specific techniques or resources that you have used while learning Korean? I have tried learning the language a few times (Rosetta Stone, Memrise, traditional book/audio) and have also thought it should be like learning a new programming language but I have never been able to get through the initial confusing period.
Holy cow, the one I got was even nice enough to include the default username and password before the login prompt. I didn't test to see if it'd work :-p.

I wouldn't say I was "forced" to use JSX. I started out building React using only JavaScript notation to build the DOM (React.DOM.div, et al.) because I told myself that XML formatted text doesn't belong in my JavaScript. I then started to use JSX. It's a beautiful thing to get into if you give it more than a cursory glance. For one, readability is incredibly better with JSX and passing data becomes less of a chore.
I'm confused about the state of diesel engines. There were a few documentaries about the health issues caused(Japan banned diesel entirely). Also the politics putting these issues under the rug (France government massive subventions would be a public shame if they generated illnesses). Meanwhile reading Wikipedia, it says that modern diesel engines are heavily filtered and not toxic.
~~indentured servants~~ Or slaves (sigh. I really don't want that world cup to happen in Qatar. Related to the post because Gulf countries can afford tall buildings because they can morally afford slavery.)
That's nonetheless a step in the right direction.
Your point makes perfect sense if one is of opinion that human life can be pegged to monetary value at some exchange rate. And this is indeed the founding assumption at which many totalitarian regimes operate.

As far as I can tell, the only way to actually stay anonymous and have a foothold in the bitcoin economy would be to exchange bitcoins for cash in person with someone.

Even then, once you tried to combine that account with any other you owned that was traceable to you (record in an exchange, email sent to a client containing your bitcoin address) it would be easy to link them together, since the entire ledger is public.

I guess what I'm saying is that your level of sophistication to stay anonymous would have to rise along with the sophistication of an attacker, which is not immediately obvious from these glowing articles on Bitcoin.
Where are you reading your tweets? @replies don't show up for me when using the official clients or when reading on the website.
I don't disagree that it should be legal, but the fact that the government takes a dim view of bribing bank officials to allow someone to do other illegal things is really not something worth getting indignant about, no? The root cause, sure, but painting it as "everyday business" is rather naively lolbertarian.
I wish your reply was higher.

Chances are if OP is asking the question the standard reply of "sleep hygiene" isn't a useful answer.

OP, have a consultation with a sleep specialist. And, take lbk's advice of reading the DSPS page and also potentially: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-24-hour_sleep-wake_syndrome

It could change the way you view both yourself and your life.

And, to everyone else, consider that, sometimes it isn't just a matter of "more willpower" or just doing whatever worked for you.

Yes, I was guessing that 108 was the date 10/8. But guessing in a way that increased my odds of being correct (from roughly 1 in 365, to 1 in 12).

Since I didn't know if 10/8 was a date, or maybe a special date but not your birthday, I thought guessing "Libra" was a better way to go.

I'm sure psychics use techniques like this, as well. In fact, I can see someone special in your life, and the letter "K" seems prominent. hmm...
I think treating flat earth theory as a rational argument to debunk is appealing, but ultimately unproductive.

There was an interesting article some time ago: https://jameshfisher.com/2019/01/20/my-parents-are-flat-eart..., which casted the human perspective on the problem: at the root, believing a conspiracy theory gives self-importance to the believer, and it's, in a way, "fun".

Considering this perspective, this phenomenon belongs to the class of problems whose easy angle of attack is the technical (rational, in this case), and the difficult one is the human.

I'd argue that if one thinks that a flat earther is metaphorically a brick wall, and consequently a fool, opposing technical arguments against it is equally as foolish. It's actually the other side of the coin: yelling arguments to a wall is the mirrored human problem, in my opinion.

In conclusion, I think it would be more productive to think more about why this belief is appealing to people (and why it's spreading), rather than proving it's false.
Yes, doctors should experiment with the drug and I am certain, a lot of those, who have the necessary conditions to perform a proper experiment, will do.

What should not happen now is, that the general public starts taking the drug as a precaution, just because it might work. The known side-effects are too severe (e.g. blindness) and also, there are already shortages of the drug for those who already require it as part of their medical treatment (e.g. immune-supressed).
What would be your sources for this, and in reference to the claim that people being hospitalized and feeling like they can't breathe for weeks, are you referring to those who number among the roughly 5% of critical cases?
Are tanks the new battleship? It seems to me that the heavily armored, heavily armed, slow vehicles are no longer a match for the fast-paced and dynamic modern warfare. They are sitting ducks for attack helicopters, jets and well-coordinated infantry teams.

Interesting read by the way. It's crazy to see what sort of smart inventions are created in this arms race between David and Goliath.
Yes Feynman wrote of teaching science to college students (in Brasil?). They could parrot back the textbook, but not recognize the phenomena of light polarization described immediately after reading its description

- Door handles made of brass / copper (kill bacteria, viruses and fungi) are retrofitted in many households.

- Significantly less tourism in 2020. Maybe a peak in 2021.

- More divorces.

- Higher unemployment rate.

- Less globalization. There are other triggers for this, such as the current (and expected) US foreign policy.

- A shift in the age pyramid, with various consequences!

- Greater spread / acceptance of bidets. Spread of systems that retrofit a kind of bidet for western toilets.

- Faster changes to the law for drone deliveries.

- More privately owned firearms.

- More doomsday prepper.

- bank consolidation. Especially in the United States.

- I'm curious to see what happens to all of the sub-prime car loans in the United States that used to blow cars up to very poor Uber drivers. They drive for +/- 0 Uber and then drive to the 2nd and 3rd job. One of the jobs breaks away.

- Higher mortality rates for various diseases because hospitals and health systems are overloaded.

- More vegeterians and pasters.

- High capacity utilization in cemeteries, undertakers and crematoriums.

- Much, much more blatant two-tier medicine than before.

- Various airport businesses go bankrupt.

- Less just-in-time, but more local stocks / buffers. In all stations of the supply chain.

- Blatant price changes in food. The prices for mussels, eels and lobsters have dropped by up to 70% in some markets!

- A lot of assets will migrate from older generations to younger generations.

- More vertical farming, rooftop farming, rooftop bee keeping, etc. in cities.
In ww2 the tactical doctrine for German troops was to engage with three PanzerFaust teams two missiles would be fired initially with the most experienced team held back.
Thanks a lot! I had been bypassing manually the zoom client, but lately I felt like they were hiding more and more the browser option (up to the point that sometimes I had to run Chrome to have two chances for the non-client link to appear).
No, it does not go nearly far enough. Most homeless people have either medical or mental health issues which are barriers to making their lives work conventionally. Supportive housing sometimes works where just access to housing per se may not. This is a much more complicated problem than just 'jobs and housing' (availability) but those things both help.

Have an upvote.
Just about any ranked fencer would have popped the guy in the chest and moved back before he could do a counter attack.

This has long been my dissatisfaction with fencing. The type of strike you describe (a glancing touch at maximum extension of one's body, arm, and fingertips) is unlikely to disable any opponent wearing so much as a leather vest. Not to mention the fact that a sword and arm extended thus are highly likely to be mangled or removed by an overhead slash by a heavier sword from the position you describe.

Of course, this is a matter of taste. Since few of us will ever find ourselves fighting for keeps, we can play in whatever sword discipline we prefer.
I completely agree; I think a lot of startups these days are built on the same principles. Uber comes to mind, specifically. I think the name of the game there is to get to an exit before the regulators really start to get involved, because those will only eat away cash/value. The same applies to AirBnB (again, only in my opinion). So in general, these types of startups are really just sprinting to an exit, growing insanely fast to benefit the early people: founders and investors. Once it's public, they've cashed in their stock, so it's up to the new guard to figure out how to turn the growth company into a successful, long-term company.
It's nice to see webgl being added to the Chrome beta, no more downloading Chromium and having to open it with cli options.
tail lights = your responsibility to make sure your car is in operable condition.

forgot to turn on your headlights = usually other drivers will flash or quickly flip their lights on/off to warn you

gas cap = again, your responsibility.
Thanks for that answer. I understand this, but I just keep thinking why can't Twitter just but a few display ads like Facebook to monetize?
Super-ultra-secrets has nothing to do with it (though if you're a small shop, pointing the finger at github if/when confidential stuff flies the coop isn't going to go over well with certain clients).

My code (and other assets) are important to me; if it ends up on a torrent server in china, that's bad. Github's security is better than mine, but I'm not a honeypot either. Perhaps the formal probabilities are against me; I guess I'm irrational in a few ways.

> Bakar Aging Research Institute (BARI) members will be drawn from the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, the UCSF Hillblom Center for the Biology of Aging, the Department of Medicine’s Division of Geriatrics, and the UCSF Institute for Health and Aging

This is a great research subject and all but how did UCSF end up with 4 (now 5) institutes related aging in the first place and why isn’t this entirely replacing them?

All that I need to know about the manager's schedule is this.

The manager said on May 14 that he would get back by May 17, and failed to respond by May 25 despite an attempt to follow-up on May 19. If the manager's schedule, workload and working priorities were such that May 17 was unrealistic, then the manager should not have said he would get back on May 17.
"Given that search is their strength, it will be imperative on Apple to provide a more intuitive itunes/app store search and discovery solution to its users"

No matter if you are right or wrong, I can imagine that Apple doesn't like being taught about what they should do. I imagine they think they have a fairly good idea as to what they should do. Maybe your attitude turned them off a little. Just a guess, though.
