Starting to emerge that anorexia (loss of appetite) is a symptom in many cases, might be related to not being able to smell or taste.
Yeah, the Russian government seems really trustworthy. /s You can depend on them to investigate the whistleblowers, who will mysteriously die from a sudden case of "community-acquired pneumonia".

Doctors in Russia are accusing the government of covering up its coronavirus outbreak and denying them protective equipment

https://www.businessinsider.nl/coronavirus-russia-doctors-sa...

>“While the whole world is facing an outbreak of a new coronavirus, Russia is facing an outbreak of a community-acquired pneumonia,” Vasilyeva said. “And as usual, we’re facing the lie of the authorities.”

>She said Russian authorities were referring to coronavirus cases as ordinary pneumonia, implying that they’re distinct from the coronavirus pandemic.

>Russian authorities strongly denied her claims. A statement from the Moscow Department of Health accused her of seeking “to discredit Russian medicine and relevant government agencies” and called for authorities to investigate her.

Coronavirus: Reported spike in pneumonia cases in Moscow as Russia accuses critics of fake news

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/coronavirus-...

>“I have a feeling they (the authorities) are lying to us,” said Anastasia Vasilyeva, head of Russia's Doctor's Alliance trade union.

>“I don't believe the coronavirus numbers,” said Ekaterina, a Moscow accountant. “I remember what they told us about Chernobyl at the time. It's only now that we're finding out what really happened.”
Many of those people were rehired as contractors or FTEs though. I was working at Boca Raton as a very young intern in '95 (just before they closed the site in favor of Austin), and one of the brilliant guys I worked with took a package in 93 but...they had to hire him back at higher pay because no one could do his job. There were also lots of vendors working at the Boca site who were laid off in 93 (though I think they where finally let go before the move to Austin).
It'd be pretty easy to build, especially if you use something like Python and NLTK. You could then extend to a "your mom" bot too.

I'd actually be intrigued at how simple the algorithm could be and still be mostly on the mark, rather than how much NLP you could squeeze in...
I just meant the credit card companies are well aware of what happened and that credit card numbers might have been involved. They're monitoring accounts accordingly and didn't seem to think canceling was necessary.

If the companies really believed the numbers were compromised they will send out new cards automatically. Like I said, it's happened to me before. I didn't have any suspicious activity or anything. But some company I did business with reported a credit card breach so my bank just sent everyone in the breach new cards with little letters telling them "you got owned, but no worries here's your new card."
History tells us that the CIA doesn't necessarily mind.

I don't think it's schedule-driven, I think it's event driven. In particular, I think that there are two events that value must survive in order to be demonstrated real:

1: End of severe information asymmetries (going from private to public--i.e. an IPO--will typically do this).

2: A crisis of confidence. A crisis of confidence can temporarily depress the market valuation of something with real value, but the fundamental underlying strengths will drive the price will recover as the crisis abates; inflated value will not recover in this manner after a crisis of confidence because the crisis will have served to expose the fundamental underlying weakness.
AT&T has nearly 100 million wireless subscribers now. If they can gin up a reason to add a $5 annual charge to every subscriber's bill, that's an extra $500 million to the bottom line.

Many customers won't notice a bogus charge like that. A few will silently gripe, figuring it isn't worth their time fighting. A few will complain to AT&T. Nobody will need to go to arbitration to get their $5 back, because AT&T will give it back if they're persistent. Even with maybe ten percent refunds, AT&T will have stolen away $450 million.

Class-action lawsuits definitely have been abused in the past and consumers often don't fare that well (whee, coupons) but the "arbitration" alternative doesn't give companies any incentive to treat customers fairly.
While I agree, the thing that jQuery does, and this was outlined a long while ago in a presentation is that different browsers have different behaviors sometimes for some of the most simple things. Querying is one of those, and the list goes on. Sometimes there are just browser bugs! Frameworks like jq and others ensure a consistent behavior between different browsers.

Also note, native browser calls will always be faster. JQ gives you some major power though. It is always best to optimize the big parts of your performance with jq and other frameworks getting the logic correct, then these micro optimizations can be made, including this iterator and your this.checked. However for a general use case, this iterator is exactly what people need as it solves the 70% case.
Very cool, I wrote something similar for my company's clients to annotate various online documents. The UI on corkboard is nicer but I have arrows,drawing tools and you can rotate the notes around so text can vertical if you want.
The certificate is signed by Comodo; maybe you removed Comodo from your trusted CA list?
Having said that some consideration to keep in mind:

- audio code needs to be optimized for real time thread constrains. Many optimizations usually made by vectorizing rather than threading that would've lead to locks and synchronization not always possible for real-time processing. So not all SIMD code can be compiled just by changing a flag.

- machine specific code. While rare. Some companies still got such code for various reasons. And needs more complex transition.

- Not all companies were able to obtain DTK. We for example, got our first M1 machine 3 weeks ago.

- Backward support. While we'd like to have universal builds, musicians use their systems for years. We still support 10.7. With Big Sur Apple seems to break SHA1 signs making builds from Big Sur work reliably only on 10.11 or newer.

As long as I can Bill my hours, I don't care all that much.

I find smaller or more experimental companies to be much more unstable, and in my thirties I just want something stable and nice so I can save money and retire with a bit over a million in the bank at 40.

Just want to be done with it
Or expressions.
And I wonder why Bitstamp, a fairly legitimate shop, stopped using Tether...
Good arguments. And I stand corrected, there are reasonable alternatives to Facebook - I was thinking of Twitter.
Maybe, but I just mean publications that are left of liberalism. Not sure what else to call them besides leftist.
> Instead of debating whether social media platforms should or shouldn't have silenced the president, and what their role was in inciting the crowds to "insurrection", shouldn't we be discussing instead how to completely remove them from the political sphere?

No.

> Never before in human history have we had privately operated for-profit organisations with so much power and influence over the running of countries.

Yeah, that's really not true, even if you specifically limit it to media firms (e.g., Hearst at its height), and ignore, e.g., extractive/colonial firms like oil companies, United Fruit Company, and the various East India Companies, and also ignore much of history before the modern period, when there was no real public/private distinction, and the things we now think of as public functions were overtly private property rights exercised, quite often, for personal profit.

> Social media platforms should never have been allowed to become the arbiters of democracy.

They aren't the arbiters of democracy, only of their own platforms. Just like other media companies.
Thanks! I was still thinking that Line and Wechat entirely dominated the Asian market.
>I don't remember exactly when in the 90's it changed but at a certain point there were actually certain words banned from being used in domain registrations.

Isn't that censorship? Maybe that's why it changed...
Nah, it’s not the same. The “no-default-wallpapers-on-iPod-touches-3G”-bug is gone.
It's actually not your fault. My web host is moving the server hosting my domain and they've clearly messed up somehow. I'm in the midst of resolving this with them.

In the mean time, if you google "Love in Four Acts", Google has the article in its cache. Sorry for the inconvenience all.

Nope - not integer overflow.

(OK, yes, for exceedingly large inputs there are issues about sizes of integers, etc., but that's not the bug. It's much, much simpler.)
Heh, what value is lost in work will be regained by so many people enjoying themselves so thoroughly. What is value if not enjoyment and happiness? I for one am more eager for Civ 5 though.
I can't remember exactly, but the whole upgrade process (including backup) needed somewhere between half an hour and an hour (on my 3G).

Ok, good point about the inclination.

I still don't see why circularizing the orbit would be wasteful. Circularizing an elliptical orbit at apogee still requires positive delta-v, which will help you on the way to the hyperbolic orbit. Only if you want to circularize at perigee would you need to slow down, which would indeed be extremely wasteful. It's true that you get more energy boost for the delta-v if you do it early rather than late, but I don't know if the ellipticity of the launch orbit is high enough for that difference to qualify as "extremely" wasteful. But maybe it is.

The "display your real name" Youtube pop-up is clearly designed to be misleading. The damn thing doesn't even have a "close" button. Nor does it have the option everybody wants to choose ("I'm not displaying my real name because I just don't want to").
WCF is extremely powerful, but it is poorly documented for a system of that complexity.

Configuration is a black art: it involves configuring the various WCF interfaces/components in XML. Because of the poor documentation and bugs this can be quite a lot of work. It was quite obviously architected to be used with a configuration UI - it's similar to XAML and IIS in that respect - only Microsoft never bothered making the investment the way they did for IIS + XAML.

It's also buggy - XML parsing in particular is broken - and the default serializers are horribly slow.

It's extremely extensible, but extension requires considerable work. A lot of the base classes are either sealed or internal (or both), which just exasperate this. Without either the source, the tests, proper documentation or the ability to extend existing implementations it turns a job which should take an engineer an hour into a job that will take them 3 months.

So basically, Microsoft have done done everything to make using WCF in anything but the most basic scenarios hard and expensive.

As others have said, if you're doing anything over HTTP then you're better off using either Web API or better yet ServiceStack. I have good experience with the latter.

So they didn't get the password, ok. But they still have my name, my email, my skype.

This completely sucks.
I recommend "The Cuckoo's Egg". It's a great book about traking down a hacker and explains one of the ways it was done.

Because SMS is not even remotely a secure communication channel, and the point of two factors is proof of possession of two different classes of things (that you have some device and that you know some secret), and using an insecure channel to send a message weakens the proof of the have half of that, in much the same way as using a weak or published password weakens the know half.

Ideally, you want as strong as practical proofs of each half within the constraints set by UX considerations.
Are you serious? Look at vayarajesh's original comment.

It 'clearly' states this: It makes me fall in love with Apple more. #Respect

No quotes. He/She was using it seriously.
I think it could happen just as easily in Java, especially in continuous integration scripts, which are nearly fully automated. I've nearly done something in Hibernate before just by running ant scripts that looked at my environment variables to see which database it should truncate. If I forget to change back the environment variable and my machines were able to access the prod servers, same thing could happen. Only reason it didn't happen for me is because I usually have pretty strict rules in my pg_hba.conf file that prevents foreign hosts from connecting.
On the other hand, those who own land develop it, increasing the value of nearby land, providing employment, extracting natural resources, etc...

It's sort of a chicken/egg problem. Heritability of land ownership does lead to entrenched wealth with little incentive (or need) to further develop the land, but one could argue that many sorts of investments also fit the criterion of sometimes providing long term returns far in excess of what the original purchaser could have imagined or intended.
You ability to not once, but twice, reiterate what I said while simultaneously declaring something else entirely as what I got wrong is quite impressive. I don't think I care to try to engage any further with someone who does that.
They're definitely nuts, but I hadn't noticed that they were any particular flavor (Austrian or otherwise).
Not really. In fact the subsidies you're talking about usually don't even benefit the group they're purported to target.

For example, take the gasoline subsidies in Iran. The group the subsidy purportedly helps is the poor. Yet, if you look at the demographic and vehicle usage data, the middle class and rich have more cars and drive more, hence claiming most of the benefit from the subsidy. If the government of Iran really wanted to help ameliorate the cost of fuel for their poor, they'd hand out coupons for free gasoline/diesel directly to the poor.

This also applies to American farm subsidies. The only reason they're in place is because politicians claim to be protecting "family farmers". Yet, if you look at the statistics, family farms haven't been the primary form of American agriculture for almost three generations now. The vast majority of the subsidy goes to helping corporate farms, simply because the vast majority of all farms in America are owned by corporations. If the government really wanted to protect family farmers it would simply write them a check for the amount of the subsidy every year.

No, I'm with the parent. These subsidies do nothing but distort the market in favor of entities that don't need the help in the first place. Let them go.
Flipboard is pretty good.

I've also used 'Early Edition' which fetches your RSS feed into a newspaper like view. Again, its a really nice option for reading RSS feeds. Now I just pick up my iPad and flip through the first few pages of news rather than always trying to bring the Unread count to 0 on Google Reader.
FYI, bitbucket and possibly other services offer private repos for free (in order to compete with GitHub).
I'm pretty sure most cars don't get less than half the fuel economy in mountains than on flat roads, which is what the commenter claimed.
What happened doesn't really invalidate what the author is saying.

The article briefly touches upon the housing bubble and how it will inevitably burst, and he/she was on the money there. But that was just a side-point. The main point is pointing out a perceived risk in the system - just because it hasn't come to pass does not necessarily prove that it isn't real.

His/her argument is that a 'spontaneous remonetisation of gold' is possible (though unpredictable) and that it would indeed cause the collapse of the global financial system.

To summarize:

- there is a floor on the price of gold due to demand from industrial users, but there is no cap to how high it could rise due to demand from speculators/savers (as unlike asset bubbles like housing or tulips, no extra supply can flood into the market)

- if the remonetisation begins, it is a Nash equilibrium for everyone to buy and keep buying gold (at the expense of the dollar)

- in the past such an event has been kept at bay by 'insulation' (the difficulty people faced in actually acquiring gold) and by intervention by central banks. This has created the illusion that a rise in gold prices will be halted by the same sort of dynamics that govern other asset bubbles

- these obstacles to remonetisation are much weaker now due to several things: ETFs allowing savings to easily/instantly/electronically flow into gold/silver; panic spreading via the internet rather than 'responsible' broadcast media; Federal reserve is a comparatively smaller player in the much larger more complex financial system of today (which includes hedge funds who will sniff fear in any central bank plans to interfere in the gold market)

I think the analysis deserves a reply/critique rather than just a 'that's not what happened' blanket dismissal
i mean i get it, law enforcement have to prioritize their time just like everybody else.. and a stolen huffy is not going to trump the domestic violence call, or the hit and run.. but it still sucks.

come to think of it, stolen cars work effectively the same way. the only difference is they are tracked by so many other mechanisms (registration, plates, cameras, they are physically large enough to be difficult to hide). thieves suck.
"for useless chatter"

You'll fit right in, then.
Nice chart! Yes, my sample size was rather small, so it's difficult to make absolute conclusions, but it was interesting to see a definitive correlation between post length and upvotes!
My parents are religious, and I was raised religious. When I took LSD, I was agnostic, but I had a conversation with God. I'm still agnostic, by the way.

You're missing an experience for sure, but you shouldn't approach it thinking it's just a fun drug. Do your research first, understand how to fight off bad trips, be in the correct set and setting, and don't take more than 100 micrograms the first time you do it. LSD will open up doors you didn't even know existed, and then you'll walk through those doors and find out even more. Until you actually do that, you'll never understand what it's like.

Oh yeah, stay away from mirrors too.

"Deliberate provocation of mystical experience, particularly by LSD and related hallucinogens, in contrast to spontaneous visionary experiences, entails dangers that must not be underestimated. Practitioners must take into account the peculiar effects of these substances, namely their ability to influence our consciousness, the innermost essence of our being. The history of LSD to date amply demonstrates the catastrophic consequences that can ensue when its profound effect is misjudged and the substance is mistaken for a pleasure drug. Special internal and external advance preparations are required; with them, an LSD experiment can become a meaningful experience. Wrong and inappropriate use has caused LSD to become my problem child." - Albert Hofmann
I'm finding the 2x difference in efficiency hard to understand. Gasoline cars get worse mileage in mountains, obviously, but it's nowhere near 2x. Is there some particular difference that would make the Tesla penalty so much worse? Perhaps the Tahoe area is also very cold, and Tesla's interior heating is a major battery killer?
Yes. However I meant that I don't want Github to start developing features that involves scanning and applying AI to codebases and their users' behavior, because I think it's a temptation they start marketing that data.

E.g., "Buy our engineer intelligence subscription! Find out if your job applicant is a ninja or noob!"

I suppose there's an argument that the data is already public and anyone could apply that analysis, which is true. But the difference is that Github is not profiting from this; their feature development will continue to focus on private repo owners as their customers (whose interests are pretty much aligned with public repo owners).
I've had 5 dogs in my lifetime that have lived to age 15+. All I do is take them to the vet yearly and feed them good quality dry dog food.

Anecdotal evidence should not determine whether to treat your dog (or any species) with medicine – particularly with a sample size of 5.
I was coming here to post that same link. It's much longer, but contains many more specific situational examples, and more comprehensive advice.
"If they can’t pay you what you’re worth, consider being paid in part in stock, but only if you truly believe in the product, the management, and the company as a whole."

Successful "techies" never work at companies they don't believe in.

It's quite telling that the author includes this "only if" clause.
Thanks. Do you think Google Analytics would suffice or should I use additional sources?
It would be great if you could add Amazon rating. (E.g. as a circle color.)
Good point. You can solve this issue by electing more than one representative from ordered (per-party) lists: the first picked vote for Labour elects Labour#1, the second Labour#2, etc. Labour#4 could still be lucky or unlucky, but Labour#1 will almost certainly be picked (assuming e.g. 50% of the vote for Labour, with probability 1 - 2^-10 = 1023/1024.)

However, I'm not sure how much of a (perceived) advantage over proportional representation this gives you.
This. We write unit tests when we do math on financial transactions, clear cut migrations of data, and other very well-defined, high risk circumstances.

The other use-case for tests is explaining the expectation to new developers / teams under tight timelines. Example - we had a "surge" team come in - we were writing software that pulls data out of emails in hundreds of formats.

We set up infrastructure for it that says - here is your input, here is your ouput, here is 100 sample records, make unit tests pass for them. This worked amazingly well when you had a team writing RegEx, another team writing csv stuff, one team using ML, etc. Basically, the goal was "make it work, in 2 weeks, no one will ever touch this code again." Btw, the latter is ALWAYS, ALWAYS a lie - if a company sinks a few hundred thousand into a project, you WILL touch it again.

Anyway, this was more of a rant - basically unit tests ARE useless 90% of the time. Unit tests in Angular that are basically integration tests are absolutely disgusting.

Keep in mind that if you have coverage, any time you modify a class, you are now fixing a bunch of broken tests.

I guess that's why I am for testing individual methods and SRP.
