It's not just farmers and miners, but the extensive support system that grows up around these activities. People living in mining and farming towns have to regularly drive longer distances than battery technology will support.

For example, I am taking classes 5 days a week, but live 100 miles away in a farming community. Due to the nature of the course work, a significant portion is hands-on and cannot be done online. The campus has no charging stations and only relatively recently have electric cars had sufficient range.
Most banks do not have a $100bn valuation though.

My reading was that this was not an employer rule, but a part of their employees' inclusiveness, wanting to invite new people.
On the contrary - Facebook owes it's users everything. Without them, Facebook does not exist. Every user provides Facebook with content, which Facebook then monetizes using ads. Every user also views those ads, directly earning Facebook money.

To assume that since there is no legal contract between a user and Facebook, Facebook has no need to treat its users well is simply untrue. The users make Facebook, not the other way around.

Just because the United States has the most liberal immigration policy doesn't mean it shouldn't be more liberal.

Promiscuous mode in a wired network still requires you to physically connect to the network. At best you can use a passive EM detector to see all the traffic on a set of wires, so you don't have to cut them temporarily, but that still requires physical contact, and can only see things which are routed down that cable. For any business that guards its doors and ethernet ports, and has routers/switches instead of hubs, this is pretty much complete security.

For wireless, you... sit up to a few hundred feet away (miles if you have a good parabolic antenna), and run Wireshark. It's entirely passive and undetectable.
"'Enforced association' is phoney."

"Enforced association" sounds just like something that would come from someone who could say the following, without irony and without laughing, years after leaving junior high:

"...particularly Junior High, where who you eat with is of monumental importance. Being in any clique, even if it's just the nerds, is vastly preferable than eating alone."
It's a search engine for fashion - Google Boutiques is the natural point of comparison. Of course, we are hoping to do considerably better than Boutiques.

It would be great to hire Americans, because while the girls we have in Pune are great, they don't know things like who Lady Gaga is or what she might wear.
I'm 100 percent for people from anywhere in the world, even people who have never seen the United States, advocating for improvement of policies in the United States. Policy improvement is a great idea, and I was happy to have it happen in the United States even during the several years of my life when I wasn't living here.

But I ask about the policies of other places, and what attractions those set up for immigrants, for a policy-based reason. Most public policies cannot be set to be ideal in the abstract. Indeed, there is not even enough agreement among voters to be sure what the abstract ideal of perfect policy would look like. Every country in every era, democracy or dictatorship, makes policy trade-offs. I think the discussion of United States policy can be best informed--and thus most helpful to the United States, the country I now live in--if people like you with valuable international perspective are as specific as possible in comparing United States policies to policies of other countries you know about. As I wrote in the first reply I posted in this thread, there ought to be official statistics on many of the issues mentioned in the article that opened this thread, and those official statistics from various governments may guide us better to understand what policy trade-offs make for a thriving economy, well functioning democracy and rule of law, and an open and vibrant society.
This is offtopic but I think people need to realize that Brandon's comment has been unfairly characterized.

What is it telling us of? Are you implying something to the effect of Atlassian doesn't care about people working together (heck, maybe they hate humans, who knows) and Github loves community...?
Having flown many fixed wing and multi-rotors of sizes small to large fixed wing tends to require more skill to pilot and are harder to get autonomous landing right (a bad reading from the barometer on landing and you're toast) at least with the Pixhawk on a multi-rotor it'll stay hovering over the landing point until it is relatively certain that the GPS height and barometer readings match before landing. I've witnessed planes nosediving into the ground under the same conditions. Now indeed there are extra sensors that can help with this Lidar etc. but for a standard setup it's an issue.
This is an argument against github and bitbucket style pull requests, though. And is basically my point.

No, your parent comment has in fact literally quoted the amendment. For example, on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_S... you will find the full text as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Please be more careful before posting in the future.

You may find it interesting to examine the original text of the Bill of Rights, where the first amendment appears as Article the third: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Bill_of_R...

I would hope that someone smarter and more knowledgeable than myself on the subject would come up with something actually good. Barring that, yes, I thought about starting with a large empty space and some sort of supply of furnishings with general guidelines about who gets what and how much. Perhaps there could be an area with "samples" of things that people could try out and decide what was a good fit for them as an individual.

I worked in a cubicle farm for five years. The company added space after I was hired because they were growing. Then the recession hit and some of that new space remained empty and unused. They began converting desks that had never been used into meeting spaces. Meanwhile, teams were generally each assigned the same amount of space yet had varying numbers of members. So I saw both some good and creative adaptations and some poor general practices.

Some years ago, when I was a homeschooling mom taking college classes online and every member of the household had their own computer, my very introverted husband had the most privacy for his desk area, our youngest son had the second most -- again, he was quite introverted -- our older son, less introverted than his father and brother had the third most private desk area and my office space was in the most heavily trafficked part of the apartment. I was the only extrovert and my duties and mom and wife required me to be available to other people at pretty much all times. The arrangement that evolved fit our individual personalities and our working situations. We were all happy with our respective desk arrangements. Surely the corporate world would benefit from making sure people were individually comfortable with their work spaces and when you multiply the increased productivity by hundreds of employees, this should matter to someone?
I think its important to consider the audience for torrenting. When I was a teenager, the majority of the content I consumed was downloaded for free. I think this was hugely helpful in shaping my taste and mind.

I would assume a large amount of illegal downloaders are being done by teenagers who have the most free time to consume, and the least amount of resources to consume.
I was skeptical but this is actually really noticeable - great work! :)
See my other answer - I meant applying it analytically. Your idea is interesting though, and I do know that it should be possible to build a Fourier transform analog circuit. Once you sample though you will be subject to having a nyquist frequency and introducing noise to your signal and the advantage of performing it with an analog circuit will be lost.
Why 150m? It says 'radius' so if the missile is on an intercept course, 150m is not going to help you. Beside the difficulty of knowing the exact launch time and having to move a 50mx50m 180 ton bomber in fewer than 12 seconds.
It's very TMI, but some people really do need a lot more than this. Have a little empathy for your fellow man/woman.

I meant a way to make up-to-date drafts: base it on an automatic execution trace, like from a debugger running the code.

You get this 100% up-to-date trace for free. It's crazy verbose, so apply filtering (e.g. to only key apis) to make it manageable. Then edit that draft manually. Like an annotated, abbreviated, step-into debugger.

My thinking is that this makes it easier to get an initial draft. But maybe that basic trace is easy and natural to do manually?

Also, I'm not sure how similar this "execution trace" would be to a tour based on explaining it... I suppose you could find out, by examining your best tours to see how closely they actually follow execution order (if at all).
When I try to understand a codebase, I do trace calls manually, so there's probably some similarity.

IANAD, but my understanding is that minimal sedation leads to better outcomes, so patients may be partially awake some of the time, varying the dose of propofol and fentanyl. During these low-sedation times they may do breathing trials to try to wean off the ventilator. (They called this "sedation vacation" in the ICU I visited.) Not sure if this is how COVID victims will be treated, though.
Yes, I am working on some stuff. Mainly, I am working on TeXnicard (fossil repository at [0]; if anyone is interested in it, I would like to have some help, please), although I might also set up a telnet service (possibly with some card games).

I agree. Appears almost as if they are using divide and conquer tactics against their own user base. It used to be one large, easily searchable, interesting developer site now it is split into at least:

If you are developing low-level device drivers, it is nice to be close to the hardware engineers.
I've been trying to use podman in production and it is not working very well. I'm excited for this technology but it is not ready.

- podman layer caching during builds do not work. When we switched back to docker-ce, builds went from 45 minutes to 3 minutes with no changes to our Dockerfile

- fuse-overlayfs sits at 100% CPU all day, every day on our production servers

- podman loses track of containers. Sometimes they are running but don't show in podman ps

- sometimes podman just gets stuck and can't prune or stop a container

> I guess my issue here is calling all these "paxos" when 2 (VR and VS) predate Paxos.

Definitely. All VR needs now is a paper called "VR Made Famous" because it's already been made simple, easy, fast and understandable! And, after all, it was first.

Thanks for the reference to Egalitarian Paxos, that's a great example of active replication in the Paxos (and not Multi-Paxos) sense.
Python has all of those things, including generics, so whatever order they are needed in, “Python got it” doesn't argue for one over the others.
That needs an 2011 tag.
But inflation isn’t a problem, it’s a benefit. We want people to spend or invest (in production) their money; economy works best when money is actively circulated, not hoarded. The problem with a totally fixed money supply is that as productivity grows new investments are disincentivizes, as a fixed currently holder get the benefits of aggregate productivity increases (through deflation) without risking his money in investing in companies.

> and I haven't addressed the morality of the intervention at all.

This is the root cause of all the troubles we're facing with tech today. Spend everything on the tech, nothing on the morality of it. Break things and think about the consequences when it's too late. I don't believe we should, or even can, discuss these separately, especially for such matters.

I've rolled out Scala based Spark interfaces to non-programmers in Databricks notebooks, so it's definitely possible, but only if you stick with the basic language features.

Here's a more detailed PySpark vs Scala comparison in case folks are interested: https://mungingdata.com/apache-spark/python-pyspark-scala-wh...

I think Scala Spark (using 10% of the language features) is a better technical decision (because it provides huge benefits like fat JARs, shading, better text editor support, etc), but the worse overall choice for most organizations because people are generally terrified of Scala.

They'd rather do nothing than write Scala code. I can empathize with their position.
It's possible to co-exist peacefully with someone you disagree with. For some, actual co-operative endavors may be possible. Someone can be wrong without having to be deprogrammed. It's even possible that the actual truth may lie somewhere between the two unmixable poles, whichever they are.

I eagerly await the usual accusations of hate speech.
I don't know if that style would even work for Infinite Jest. David Foster Wallace, the author, is known for his extensive use of frequent, long, multi-page, and often multi-level (footnotes having footnotes) notes.

I look at how Grantland has adjusted to using footnotes, since several of their writers (Bill Simmons, Chuck Klosterman) were influenced, in some part, by Wallace and utilize lots of footnotes, and think it's a decent experience on desktop, but not that great on mobile devices.
Thats amazing, is that the amount after paying out the drivers?
College e-texts are typically "rented", the use terms are terrible. Also, exams in courses I teach are almost always open-book, but I don't allow electronic communication devices, which most tablets qualify as.

My assumption is that they took the total fatalities for the incident, then divided it between the two. So in actuality, the number of fatalities was 2,764, but they divided it between the two sites of attack.

That's my assumption though and it could be completely off base.
I agree -- the need to flip back and forth ruins ebook readers for technical material. There's a similar problem for writing notes on the page. They allow it, but clumsily.

But it seems like a solvable problem: there should be some brilliant user interface that makes it easy, it's just that no one has found it yet. And I'm not sure it's even possible on the classic Kindle (the epaper one), where each view update is clunky.
> In this case, most of us, even those of us who don't like the GPL in practice like me, are not primarily arguing the GPL

However, people are making the argument that this proves that GPL<BSD, and so it needs to be rebutted until they stop making it. Speaking of which, it's particularly strange for people to take the position that RMS's behaviour here is anti-freedom and thus obnoxious, and therefore GPL sucks. It shouldn't be necessary to point out that he could pull the same stunt just as easily if GCC were under a BSD license. In fact he could achieve the same effect even more easily, because he wouldn't have to rely solely on constantly changing the AST interface, or the threat of doing that: he could put future official versions of GCC under a new license which tried to put up legal barriers to AST access, or threaten to do so. More broadly, it's hard to imagine any consistent position under which RMS attempting to exert some de facto proprietary control over GCC is tyrannical, but licenses which would have given him the authority to make future official GCC versions de jure completely or semi-proprietary are upholding freedom! Of course, you can argue that RMS' behaviour here proves that he is being hypocritical when he denounces others for exercising proprietary control of software, through proprietary works derived from FOSS software or by other means. But just as obviously, catching someone in hypocrisy doesn't necessarily mean that they were wrong.

Moreover, it needs to be addressed not only because people are drawing incorrect conclusions about GPL vs. BSD, but because it shows that they don't understand what's going on here. The problem here isn't licensing terms, it's Too Big To Fork https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6810259 . "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." Speaking of which, it's strange. Here RMS is using his position to exert some de facto proprietary control over GCC, a big, hard-to-replace hairball of code with lots of clients locked in to its interface, and widespread anger is (quite appopriately) the result. Yet the Web browser vendors have honed this kind of behaviour into a routine, regularly exerting their de facto power over the Web, and sometimes in nakedly self-serving and destructive ways, and people have been conditioned to hail and venerate this as the Open Web.
I've heard versions of this before. It sounds almost like a no-brainer to me. Of course you should tax resources more than labor, especially non-renewable resources and those with negative externalities.
maybe, but when an employee asks for a raise, or say they are quitting does that make them a horrible employee. so many people think that work is some big philanthropic organization set up to serve their needs.
Ok. I only assumed it as a possibility because of who's the author + Poe's law. Anyway, seems like a very interesting read so thanks for pointing me towards it!
Giving the population ability to stay healthy with affordable health care, moderate taxes and stability should be a main priority

You can only do this with growth. In 1700 you couldn't afford good healtcare even if you were king. It simply didn't existed. In 2015 you could't travel on roads without the constant threat of death. In 2017 you couldn't use VR to keep in touch with loved ones. In 2030 you couldn't live in old age independently because of fatigue and weakness. Now in 2100, we have solved all of these problems. People are healthier, taxes are low and declining. People are happy, safe, and free to do as they want.

This is why I am thankful for progress. What a time to be alive.
