Re the documentary: Interactions between human health and the human microbiome, especially the intestinal microbiome, are one of the hottest areas in the field of genomics right now, with recent publications suggesting a real and highly significant link between microbiome health and overall health; I don't have time at the moment to link references, but you should be able to find them pretty trivially via Google.
Python has 2to3 which is the same kind of thing
Of course, I didn't mean to suggest large pots did not occur. I linked above to a million dollar pot.

> What I meant is the poker rooms have more to lose by getting caught being dishonest than they have to gain by skimming some profits.

I wish it were that easy. A recent example is Microgaming. 20 skins of that network (a network still going today with sites like ladbrokes, 32bet are part of) went down, and took with it 5 million dollars of deposits. Players weren't refunded; microgaming did not honour those deposits.

>>> There has been a few cases where employees were found to be using exploits to cheat. In these cases its usually players finding unusual patterns in their play and calling them out on it that has lead to them being caught.

In the UltimateBet cheating scandal, it is assumed the vast majority of funds stolen from players was not returned. No one involved was caught. A man strongly connected with the cheating at UB was one of the 12 named by the DoJ as an owner of UB/AP.

Simple. You keep getting emails from recruiters advertising $50k/year Senior Developer positions for the same reason that you get 200 resumes from completely unqualified people for every position you advertise.

Good positions fill quickly, just like good developers find jobs quickly. What's left is bad developers and bad jobs.

So what you're seeing is not hundreds of employers who don't know what the market rate is. It's dozens of employers who refuse to believe the market rate is where it is, and therefore continue advertising for the same position over and over. There will always be that $50k Senior Dev position available in Hillsboro because they're never going to fill it.
No, as stated in this article, this last /8 is special and they'll only hand out 1024 addresses ONCE for every APNIC member. Effectively they've run out, these addresses can only be used for transitioning purposes, 1024 addresses are useless to hand over to end customers.
Interesting, and predictable. I had a similar experience, and ended up outsourcing manufacturing to Germany :)

BTW I really love the TrekDeck idea, I don't know if there's a sizeable market but the idea is really entertaining, I'd certainly buy it. Kudos.
"The job is a contract job". That's why; you'll be an employee of TekSystems, not Apple. You won't be getting Apple benefits or compensation.

On the other hand, you can still put Apple on your resume, so it's not all bad.

But it doesn't correlate positively either. The 'article' is in response to someone claiming that having X apps created in Y years obviously means that a platform is 'more quality' than another, which is rubbish logic.
Sounds reasonable. But when you have time it would be useful to see the actual lists of the people you put in each category.

I remember services in hte bad old days doing this for dialup users. All sorts of proxies that would rewrite the pages, supercompress the images and strip the ads to make your dialup faster.

Mostly they were linux boxes with squid and a little extra magic mixed in as far as I could tell. Now you could do the whole thing on a "sheevaplug" arm computer I'd imagine.
"There's something about the way you phrased this that makes me think you were gunning for pg."

I was responding to him specifically, yes.

"Since you had to manually go through the entire list, I can't imagine it would have been difficult to record your results."

Not actually difficult, just time-consuming (I did it by having the two different lists, sorted by name for easy comparability, in two adjacent browser windows).
"Not Invented Here" is far from unique to Python. I've seen it first hand in Ruby (where the number of genuinely unique things in the ::Net namespace that deserve to be natively implemented is, let's say, not large), Clojure (where people want "Capistrano, but in Clojure" or "Chef, but in Clojure") and Python ("Oh woe is me, where is Python's Rake?"). I very much doubt any language community is without these sorts of discussions.

It drives me up the wall. So much wasted effort. And don't get me started on packaging systems...
Windows 10 still runs .com files. At least the 32bit builds. I wouldn't be surprised if the 64bit builds would accept at least com-renamed PE .exe files too, despite the lack of NTVDM

Here's another paradox worth thinking about when trying to have incentive-only regulations (carrots without sticks.)

You might think that higher rates would incent companies to weatherize, but actually they perversely might reduce incentives... if you owned 100 power plants, of which some will work in an emergency and some won't, all you need is for the fraction that are weatherized to get enough surplus revenues during peak times to cover for the plants that are offline so that your overall revenues are flat or slightly higher. Higher electricity rates actually reduce your need to weatherize your plants.
When I did a Myers Briggs test almost 40 years ago, I think I came up INTP (or something like that). I never interpreted the I to be extreme introvert, although I'm definitely on that side of the scale.

I wonder how many people score exactly on the mid-point and when that happens, what do they do?

...which expired. And then we had the greatest boom in global history.

I'm aware of the intermittent nature of the banks (as well as all the central banks that failed under the Articles of Confederation). The point is we had a situation where the money supply was basically fixed under a very imperfect gold standard. People say "deflation is bad", but can't explain basically a century under the most amazing economic growth of history.

Exactly that, plus Scots going to study in England had to pay their fees.

Currently you do not have to pay a dime to do a PhD in the Netherlands. In fact, you are almost surely an employee of the university (not a "student") and get a salary of 2300+ EUR (gross) a month.

The 1.8k EUR applies to MA/MSc/BA. If part of the requirement to do a PhD is a to do a MSc degree and the programme is joint you might get a waver from the university for that 1.8k EUR. Also, most Dutch get that money back through the government stipend programme that "lends" people about 250EUR a month and gives them free travel across the whole country. At today's prices this package is worth 4000+ EUR. You only have to pay back that loan if you do not graduate in time (=+1 year of what is the duration of the programme), if you do graduate the loan is considered paid. Foreign students can get on this action by working one day a week, somewhere (incl. TA/RA/etc.). And then there are also various subsidies that students often qualify for. It is not unheard of to see a student in the Netherlands sporting 10k+ EUR income by working one day a week.

Sort of, especially if you can do a network of these.

Amazon is an Everything store, including more easily washed financial products like gift cards that companies normally avoid for these reasons. I bet they can use their proceeds to exchange for these.

I am curious if, by having a linked AWS account fueled by these, if there is a way to fully wash. E.g., bitcoin mining sets a super lossy floor.

(We do graph analytics, where mining webs of transactions & their meta data is super interesting. Funny behaviors like these pop out as weird and extreme looking topologies when looking at them :)

>> The very rough idea being that at some point long in past a retrovirus became endogenous and provided a pathway for aging increasing the evolutionary rate of that organism, which would then out-compete most of the immortal organisms with time.

No virus needed. Humans are currently (or were very recently) under enormous evolutionary pressure to get smarter. The ability to adapt is likely itself a trait as you suggest, but it makes sense that it can vary over time as needed depending on environmental factors.
It's not actually difficult to know what the basic situation is in China right now. Go on YouTube Twitter, or any other large social media platform and look at what people who are currently in China are saying. Even in this thread, I'm sure that some of the commenters are in China.

You can also look coverage by Western press in China. A German-French public broadcaster did a report from Wuhan not too long ago that shows how different the situation is there from Europe and the US: [1,2].

By the way, documents from Hubei province have leaked, and the number of people testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in internal government records roughly matches the numbers that were published each day.

> so there is no base for banning commerce with only a selected list of companies

Sure there is. The justification is that the US should do whatever is the most effective way of retaliating against these practices, even if it means that we pick and choose which companies we retaliate against.

> they can just annoy the Chinese and force them to give up on buying US products

The US is huge customers of many goods and services from china. Us no longing buying certain things from them, could cause them to lose a large amount of business.

> Such a trap can work only once

Nope. The reason being because of the stuff that the US buys from China. That is a large amount of value that the US can continue to chip away at, if there is a reason to do so.
Causality of decision making might not be explainable by traditional views of free will, but that doesn't mean it isn't up to us to spread information. There are those of us who value the transmission of such information, and we will likely take it upon ourselves to investigate and disseminate, and hopefully start a larger conversation.

There are good arguments against free speech absolutism, but this is not one of them, since child pornography IS protected speech in the US. You can write a book of poetry that has entire chapters featuring Achilles and the Tortoise raping babies in patently offensive detail. If Congress tried to pass a law that bans your book, it would easily pass the Miller test, and the Court would tell them to think again. Heck, you can find books featuring pornographic scenes involving children on Amazon today.

Of course you are not allowed to possess or distribute explicit photos of actual minors (the same way you are not allowed to possess or distribute human kidneys, or for that matter copies of Windows XP): fortunately, none of these acts are speech, even under extreme straw men versions of free speech absolutism. Easy test: you are still able to convey any of your thoughts/opinions and make absolutely _any_ point to any audience without inconvenience even if you don't resort to these activities.
>For what it's worth, "Defund the police" does literally mean "reduce funding to what we currently refer to as the police force"

I think the relevant part is that one definition of "defund" is (from Google answer box/featured snippet, only provided definition):

>prevent from continuing to receive funds.

So some people upon first hearing the phrase "defund the police" understand it to mean "prevent the police from continuing to receive funds". Without any qualification, this is naturally understood to mean "all funds", which is not the concrete policy proposal behind (what seems to be most uses of) the phrase.

I myself had this understanding of the phrase "defund the police" when I first heard it (which is not something that I would support) but I do support most of the concrete policy proposals behind the "defund the police" movement that involve reallocating funds from the police to social services and other programs. I would be hesitatant to use the phrase myself though, because this interpretation seems quite common among people not "extremely online".
This seems to be a general problem with many projects under the Apache Software Foundation. You look at the landing page and end up not figuring out what the project is or what it's for. This seems to be especially true with projects in the whole "big data"/"stream processing" sphere.

Ah, free for up to 12k emails, or something close - looking at this now. Thanks for the tip. One thing I have noticed is their terms preclude the sending of material under Fair Use terms of copyright law ... but I'm assuming that is a mistake.

>"You represent and warrant that you either own or have permission to use all of the material in your Emails." //

Fair use isn't permission, nor ownership, it is statutory right of use though.

They bring in Spamhaus' definition of spam too, which on first reading appears to be self-contradictory - requiring each message sent to be explicitly requested. Taken by the letter this would mean I couldn't, for example, send out a message to a group of customers with whom I had a standing relationship to let them know of a change to terms & conditions, for example, without explicit consent. That means anticipating every email. Catchall phrases like "agree to receive all email" wouldn't work as the customer "has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent".

Indeed "still-revocable" permission means that as soon as a mass email is sent it becomes spam regardless, it's no longer revocable. There are other problems too - verifiable opt in means an alternate system needs to be used for the verification emails.

In turn that means that any email I send to multiple recipients puts me in breech of Mandrill's T&Cs.

Mandrill have a circular reference from the Terms "You retain ownership of the materials you upload to the Service. We may use or disclose your materials only as we describe in these Terms and our Privacy Policy." and in the Privacy Policy:

>"Information You Provide to Us: When you register to use the Services, communicate with our customer service team, send us an email, or post on our blog, you’re giving us information that we collect. That information may include your IP address, name, physical address, email address, phone number, credit card information, and other details like gender, occupation, and other demographic information. By giving us this information, you consent to your information being collected, used, disclosed, and stored by us, only as described in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy."

In short the policies allow them to harvest data from emails sent with the service and to use it as they wish. They go as far as to intimate that because they do use the message data internally that the service is not for personal email. There's also a clause Terms 5.f that allows doxing and combining the info with your account data.

The "protections" for selling of your info with the business don't work as there are standard "we can alter this agreement unilaterally" conditions.

tl;dr law - it's complicated. This service is absolutely not for "personal" emails however.
The determination of "valuation" is pretty obnoxious. These preferred securities with liquidation preferences aren't even close to a "common equity" valuation. A VC round at $x valuation isn't remotely similar, economically, to a public co at $x valuation. This bet is more about whether the late stage VC bubble continues for 5 years than any notion of real value.

I like to think the development of software as something akin to making music. If startups are Punk, big business is Pop. Manufactured Pop. It makes a lot of money and does the job, but at it's core the product sounds crap and devoid of time for creativity.

There was one guy who was a natural at playing guitar, a born player. He started in school and went on to be a top session player for a commercial company in the UK. It got to the point where he would turn up and be handed a folder of music and would have to play it on the spot, no practice, just play.

At that point he realised he was just a highly skilled session player, churning out muzac. He quit. That man was Jimmy Page who went on to play in Led Zeppelin.

Understanding how these musicians/programmers make the choices and tradeoffs to create, be it commercial muzac or punk rock, hearing about this trade-craft is good value.

The deal is, who does it help? I live in Denmark, have norwegian friends and family. I might think he is the devil, but it does not make sense to punish him; it helps no one but my ego.

There is certainly a case to be made that he is too dangerous to let outside, no way I will disagree with that notion. But having him fight for toilet paper is pointless cruelty, and there is no sense in fighting the pointless cruelty of killing with pointless cruelty poor living conditions.

Using Breivik as an example does not further the discussion though, as it is such an extreme case. It's fear mongering, and you're disregarding Hegelian dialectics by arguing in such logical extremes. I think we can all agree that lobbing the dysfunctioning members of society together in a desensitized and unsanitary confined area is no way to produce functioning, productive members of society.

That's not true. You can't learn git in 20 minutes or 2 hours, unless you equate learning git to learning to type simple commands like 'git pull' and related. But then you're not really learning git, you're just typing generic VCS commands.

.say for (('' xx 2, 'Fizz') xx * Z~ ('' xx 4, 'Buzz') xx *) Z|| 1 .. 100;

Yet another way, this time in Perl 6. It generates two infinite lists, one containing two empty strings and Fizz repeated forever. Second contains four empty strings and Buzz repeated forever. They are concatenated. Next, everything is zipped with `1..100` range using `||` operator. The `||` operator returns first argument if it's true, false otherwise. Because the range is finite, the list ends.

Functional programming for the win.
