To add to this, lies with easily proven evidence if they wanted to investigate. Eg. Check report on something from a hearing or court document, checked the hearing or the court document itself and it's completely opposite to what the media is reporting.
Strange, because I heard from Linus' cousin's neighbor's hairdresser than it was APT23 that wanted backdoor access into Linux, while someone who once shared a cab with Lennart Poettering told me the Freemasons were demanding the placement of a buffer overflow in Pulse Audio that could be triggered by the right combination of harmonics in the mp3 decoder. I am not sure which rumor I find more credible, there are just so many to choose from...
T-bonds and dollars are basically the same thing. A t-bond is basically a bank account with the US Treasury saying that you gave them USD and that you're entitled to that USD back, with interest, at some later date.

Saying China "dumping" t-bonds is bad for America is like saying that a person "dumping" CDs is bad for a bank. The seller is the one getting hosed on the deal, because they are forced to sell at a discount (otherwise, it wouldn't constitute dumping). The bank / treasury already knows they need to pay back the money at some point.

Also, a trillion dollars in t-bonds isn't that much. The Fed has purchased hundreds of billion on several occasions without much fanfare. A trillion bucks won't do much more than trigger some NYTimes articles on the subject.
> Teams move at the speed of trust.

I'm only 7 years into my professional software engineering career and this really stuck with me. Over the last two years I had the honor to work with an awesome team on an interesting project, and yes, trust is the basis of exceptional teamwork.
>Who am I to deem another intelligence "artificial"? If we can have a conversation and share ideas then what's even the difference?

I think this point raises very very interesting ethical and philosophical points of discussion, and a very small number of media pieces I'm aware of touch on this.

But Ghost In The Shell (or whatever) is interesting because you have the idea of an AI that is just as smart (if not moreso) than humans, and has a personality and emergent behaviours, etc.

Microsoft Tay or whatever really is just a thin but shiny veneer over some ML algorithms and is a poor facsimile of "having a conversation and sharing ideas".
A day late and a dollar short, considering that he agitated for this event in the first place.
The omelette being fascist dictatorship and eggs being innocent lives.
This is heavily dependent on the subject matter/industry.
Honestly this Bhattacharya fellow seems either monumentally stupid or monumentally brave. In today’s left-aligned milieus like academia, challenging whatever is coming out of the racial outrage industry is like spitting on Kim Il-Sung’s statue in Pyongyang.
A practical win-win-win outcome might've been for the GameStop board to issue expensive shares to institutional short coverers and then to declare a one-time special dividend-- not quite $300/share, but something that'd appear to serve "the interests of the shareholders".

(Years later, there'd be scholarly works about how the GameStop Maneuver differs from a Ponzi Scheme.)
Almost no code uses node’s sync APIs unless explicitly asked to, its ingrained in developer practices to the same level as not polluting global scope.

Node’s threads are for cases you really want to do heavy computation without resorting to another language. All the I/O is still backed by LibUV and an event loop, threads don’t really offer any improvement there.
Ding ding ding. I wish Google would go public with it for PR's sake, but there's a there there.
The social aspect is huge in some organizations and I am glad you described it so well. I continue to see terrible ideas supported by rational people because of social position or social signaling. If they stand to gain from expressing support, yet would suffer no material penalty if the idea fails then why not support the person/idea? On the other hand it makes me feel like I am the crazy one - as in “am I the only one who sees how dumb this is?” “Should I speak up?” In many cases the rational answer is no. Better to support it in the slim chance it succeeds, and ignore or distance yourself if/when it fails. The organization specifically rejects/weeds out what it calls “Eeyores” - Winnie the Pooh reference.
It’s not even that. CPython happens to sue memory address as ID, but the language doesn’t require that. You could easily use something else for the object ID and get completely different behavior.
Another nice tip is Alt+PrtScr which copies just an image of the focused window.
What about it? My apple products last the longest compared to the other options.
Cmd-enter is the standard way. Hitting enter edits the file name. It’s definitely a weird choice.
Perhaps you haven't used Linux in a while? It runs on almost any hardware I can throw at it. Just upgraded to a brand new laptop, and just swapped in my old SSD, and everything just worked.
The taxi cabs are nearly as bad as the bikers.

BTW: If it was me I would have walked out, when he attempts to accuse me I'd invite him to call the police. He's trying to change the price after the fact.
You ordered the prototype of the game you are working on?
I've long said that the Apple hardware is second to none ... and I have a G3 Wallstreet that not only still runs, but it's battery lasts for a couple hours.

My mid-2012 rMBP is pretty amazing too, but I quickly became irritated by OSX. It's now running Linux Mint with the XFCE WM now and I couldn't be happier (note that with a kernel upgrade, it even supports my Thunderbolt Cinema display).

The one thing I wonder is: "Are we in the minority?" Do the "unschooled masses" simply accept that this is how computers have to be?
Maybe. It's just odd to me that each new version of OSX seems to revisit basic problems like stable wifi. I would have assumed the way things like that were implemented wouldn't have changed much from version to version.

And "Back to my Mac" seems to get screwed up with each major OSX update. Still no solution for that one.
It's Apple. They don't like having lots of public projects, especially ones tangential to their mission, they probably want to weld it firmly to their in-house usage and have it as a competitive advantage which nobody else can buy.
That tweet was extremely funny, but the argument that followed it was very much not.

I am beyond impressed with that person's patience.
It's Germanwings' first accident ever. I also live in Köln and fly with them frequently, but I'm not particularly concerned. Also, on a totally offtopic note, want to meet up?
Microsoft has already put CIL on metal, using Bartok¹. They used that to build a whole OS, called Singularity².

currently in Shenzhen - my reaction has been that there are these beutiful malls and buildings that are being built but som feel empty. Sure you could chock it up to an overzelous goverment pouring money into development but you might also take a look at malls in the US that are now empty. The counter examples though are numerous. There are many areas that feel incredibly vibrant, full of buzz and people. The amount of consumerism in China shocked me, even as an American...
I wonder why CNG[1] is not that popular in other countries. It is very cheap, it can be installed on any car (gas and even diesels) and AFAIK it produces less pollution.

"CNG may be found above oil deposits, or may be collected from landfills or wastewater treatment plants where it is known as biogas[2]."

In Argentina most gas stations have Petrol and Diesel and I'd say ~60% of them have also CNG. It is very easy to find a CNG station on cities, but harder on rural areas.

You need to know what type of mice they are just like other lab animals like rats.
You also need to know what their diet was.

Strains of rats
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_rat

Gene knockout rats
https://www.genoway.com/service/aw/knockout-rats.htm

For example in a rat experiment.
Aged rats with osteoporosis.
2 groups, control and vitamin K2-MK4 group.
Deliberate fracture to one of the limbs.
1st 3 days k2-mk4 group receive 119mg/k/d then nothing.
Control group got no K2-MK4.
12 weeks later, fracture is still visible on xray in control group.
12 days later, fracture is not visible on xray in k2-mk4 group.

What most people dont know is rats have a gene different to other mammals so they can repair their bones more quickly.

If you dont know that last sentence, you could be forgiven for rushing out and consuming 119mg/kg/d of k2-mk4 when a bone fracture occurs, even though K2-MK4 hardens bones, and Jap gp's have been prescribing between 45-90mg of K2-mk4 to post menopausal women with osteoporosis for years now.

Its like creatine, its got a pain killing effect comparable to the horse drug Bute, and a metabolised form of creatine is creatinine hydrochloride which kills both gram positive and gram negative bacteria in a dose dependent manner.
Meat eaters consume the most amount of creatine compared to vegetarians, and this dietary difference shows the brain concentrates creatine when short supply which then leads credence to Prof Bruce Ames Triage Theory. With certain injuries muscles catabolise to release creatine like with burns. Cooking meat can reduce creatine by 30% which explains why husky owners see about a 20% increase in performance when their dogs are fed a raw diet of meat.

Govt legislation also limits the health claims someone selling supplements can make, even if they have scientific studies like this to back up a claim.

One could argue Govt legislation makes it illegal to have rude health and would suggest health is used to control people.

Human experiments are expensive, a cheap one in the UK will cost upwards of £250,000, its big business, so pfizer, moderna, Astra Zeneca etc hit the jackpot with Covid for a revenue increase!

Edit: I'm not qualified in anything because I refuse to adhere to university teaching programs, which are just opinions of some people who have control over what we get taught, irrespective of its relevance because to date noone can truly be classed as an expert as noone currently can live for ever!
There's not a lot of underserved comments getting killed. Flamebait often stays alive. It often applies to new accounts posting something that looks spammy.

I've done two vouches, one for a new account that formatted their posts neatly, another for a throwaway account that talked about wanting to improve their sex life in a thread about self improvement.
Having ability to read your emails and profile by that seems to be more profitable right now; when that changes it will become paid or discontinued.
If you're rooting for language features based on the willingness of your language designers to implement them rather than what will make the language better, your language ecosystem is fundamentally broken and it's time to move on.

The details are what set this method apart. The myriad ways of rejuvenating fallow soil, planting on clusters of mounds, planting 30x denser than accepted practice, the idea that a forest can be just 4m wide and so on ...
I brought it up to highlight the contradiction, not because it’s literally a law:

They are reporting speculation.

If this was happening, they’d be reporting on the takedowns rather than the speculation.

Instead, the video is still up and available on social media.
Well, my reason was also because I was having so much trouble trying to find a machine+zone+disk setup that was available and under my $50/month budget since I'm running on MSDN subscription credit. What a freaking pain in the ass.

Digital Ocean is fantastic.
My one man SaaS setup: t4g.micro (Free Trial) on AWS Ec2 - one mod_perl module + a bunch of python/perl scripts. ( https://poidata.xyz ). Startup costs so far=$1 (domain registration).
2.5%-3% of the Linux users, not of the total ones.

From https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware Linux users are about 3% of the userbase, so that's 0.1% of total users.
So if I understand correctly Taler avoids double spending by having a trusted central authority? Foss version of Visa/Mastercard basically?
When people say there are two kind of languages, functional or procedural, then forth is the 3rd kind.
In my opinion, this is a valid alternative and not a straight deficit. Lua demands using a lot of maybe-nil values, and 90% of the usefulness of types still applies if you 'hide' this.

And there is a productivity gain from not having to consider nils in your types, because handling often requires code, annotation, or thought. But there is a loss of productivity to fixing nil errors that aren't caught by other typing features.

Places where the typing in Teal is still helpful: accessing the wrong thing, typos of variable names, wrong number or type of arguments to functions. That covers most of the statically-detectable errors.
Do you think BTC is worth $500k? If so buy Coinbase.
There's lots of confusion in this thread. OP is not talking about a Shopify store but rather an app they developed that integrates with Shopify stores.
> Well there's your problem. Where is that $35 heading? For a $35 transaction fee, I'd expect my money to arrive instantly and to work reliably. Sounds like that's pretty far from the truth.

The bank charges the service fee. It ranges from $0.00 to about $35.00

> I can see why people would want that to be cheap, fast, and reliable given that it's a pretty simple thing to accomplish on the internet.

International wire transfer is, at most, a settlement service for payments, not a payment service.
Line numbers should be linkable in the same way as a filename is. Perhaps they should be foldable.
There have been some fairly monstrous cases of unions crippling their industries (printers, watersiders). I think that might have put some people off the idea. Not to say all unions are that broken but it seems that sometimes they grow too big.

It's one thing to negotiate for more pay, but when you actively seek to prevent technological improvements which might make your job redundant, that makes you a burden on the rest of society.
I absolutely hate this. Mostly because the mobile versions suck, and my phone can handle the full version with no problems. (I'm looking at you, Facebook!)

The proper solution is to offer the choice (Facebook does this) and then REMEMBER it for my login. (Facebook doesn't do that.)
I couldn't get this out of my head. It's sorta what I think their visual page preview should be.

Obviously there's still a mountain to do before it's usable - but I think it's a neat / fun hack that you might enjoy on a friday afternoon :)

- add linking to images

- add the divs back in

- all that jazz :)

I'm going to play around on the weekend, see if I can't spruce it up a bit. I'll write an article about how I did it if there's any interest.

I actually think that the visual image search is just about the coolest thing ever. I immediately tried to combine it with LIVE-SEARCH so that the things that came up as I typed were pictures. Unfortunately that wasn't exactly possible with my current understanding of goog's search APIS so I went ahead and built something a little different. The end goal of the project would be to turn google searching into a slightly slower but a way more awesome - live page preview search.
I'm not disputing your main point that the market in medical services is very far from free, or attempting to pin down a value judgement.

I'm only questioning your claim that collusion among insurance companies does much of anything besides push us closer to monopsony pricing.
Is that a multi-pitch climbing wall?
Isn't everyone reading this doing fake work right now?
The ever popular, spouse whose employer provides healthcare.

However, three years ago we had private family coverage through BC/BS Alabama. Because BC/BS has ~90% of the private insurance market in the State [Alabama essentially has a single payer system] our premiums were very low compared to much of the rest of the country. They were even lower than the similar coverage offered through the BC/BS plan at my former employer.
Quora also has a pernicious design feature in that the question asker is publicly anonymous but the answerer(s) are strongly identified and bound to their real names.

I strongly suspect that nearly all of the startup-related questions are slow-pitch setups, asked by their answerer.

Even StackOverflow's QA mechanics aren't that degenerate!
This is what I did towards the end of high school. I did no revision outside of class (and did most of my homework in other classes), instead spending my time at home coding or socializing. I still took an A* in math and As in sciences and a few other subjects, with the remainders as Bs (except for Ds in woodwork and religion!) .. Didn't harm my future prospects at all and the coding practice helped a ton in getting my first couple of jobs.
Performant for you assuming the client gives up after the first page.
Less performant for you and the world as a hole if the client actually needs the data it ask for. Cause if it needs it the client will just make the request 100 times until it has all the data. What is more performant one query or a hundred.
As someone who has made a conscious decision to go it alone and bootstrap my business, I love the direct advice for me at the bottom of the chart. Hopefully I will soon!
1 for Firebug.

I learned by going to the most complex sites I could find and turning things off. Then I changed things, and finally added.

Once you've done that you're too far on your way to need further advice.
Slightly off topic, but I'm glad you're getting the most out of your degree here at UIUC. I'm in the general engineering department and it is an absolute nightmare - a complete disgrace to the prestige of the university. I honestly feel as though I gained more applicable knowledge and experience in a single year of high school than 3.5 years here. Talk about a waste.
It was because of how HW accelerated video decoding worked. You would specify the coordinates of a rectangle on the screen where to play the video. Then you'd display a rectangle of a certain color (#010000, I believe), to be used as a mask.

The window manager could show windows on top of the video, and the masking would work even though the video decoding HW knew nothing about window management and vice versa.

It sounds like you can disable Metrics in the settings.
It's hard for me to accept handmeouts, but if anyone decides to be insisting, I'll vow to pay it forward (I always do) and even start a blog about the course of the treatments (with pictures of paid bills, etc.) I'm a big believer in full-disclosure.

I made the account under ilovemymomjeanine@gmail.com and I'll follow up with you with pictures of the paid invoices. I know there are trolls that do this, but for all that I have, I'm not one.
> They need to be broadcasting and interfering with the station you're trying to connect to

The article raises the point that if you're just looking for a connection, you might not know the ID of the access point you want. Most of the time, if you want to snoop on people's traffic all you'd need to do is set up an AP with a higher signal strength than your neighbour's (and just forward the traffic on to the neighbour to get the bits onto the internet.)

More to the point, even if you do know the ID of the access point they want, you may not know that it's trustworthy. Even if the link between you and it is encrypted, it still gets to see your packets in the clear.
Certainly some X should be good at Y.

What exactly is stopping you from doing an experiment, instead of asking us to imagine the results of an imaginary test of an imaginary algorithm?

Scrape up a few weeks' worth of comments (perhaps via RSS, if that works; I wouldn't know) and see what you can do with them. Show us side-by-side article pages with the actual order and the Whizbang Algorithm's redisplayed version.
I don't know why your comment was downvoted. This is good advice.

The candidate has the most power in the hiring process between the moment they have received an offer and before they have given a decision. The company at that point has invested a lot of time and money into the process and you are their number 1 choice.

This would be the best time to ask any "iffy" questions or to push back on any of the points they brought up which you had issues with.
As others have mentioned, the page loads a Java applet. That'd be my first guess at the cause of the crash.
> We’re here to prove that designing products to last doesn’t require sacrificing performance, quality, or style.

Mmm conspicuous omission of price. Still, the end of Moore's law does make this sort of product make more sense.
I don't think you're giving people enough credit. It's not exactly a mystery at this point that Facebook/IG make their money by selling access to your information to advertisers. People really just don't care which doesn't make them ignorant and doesn't mean they're wrong to not care. We're the privacy obsessed weirdos. I've been in conversations where people talk about products they "discovered" through IG ads.

The mindset where we're the only ones that really understand what's going on and everyone else are just sheeple -- sheeple I tell you is gross. This issue really isn't all that nuanced. That's just the lie we tell ourselves because we don't want to admit that we're the nutters being like "they're watching you scroll through Facebook and they're gonna use that to lower your credit score. THE ALGORITHMS!!"

I'm proud to be part of this weird club but let's not use it as an oppertunity to shit on our outgroup.
Shameless plug (sorry guys), I've also been doing my fair share of work for "socializing" the syndicated web: https://www.kalaksi.com - a social network built on top of rss
If that happened, Costco's workers would still be getting paid more. So, I see no reason to blame Costco for using such tactics to compete.

Whether this indirect effect that you propose will impact low income families in the way that you suggest is far from certain.
Gmail doesn't cache things. It does proxy them. So, they can't read or write cookies, but given that spy pixels contain unique URLs, they are able to determine things like opens.
Sadly it's not entirely unfounded. SSE on HTTP/1.1 is basically useless due to the connections-per-domain limits implemented in browsers. So WebSockets got a lot of mindshare while we waited for HTTP/2.

But today I always start with plain HTTP, then try SSE, and finally WebSockets if I have to.
Not to hijack this sub-thread, but just a general question: how does one deal with unethical 'homework projects'? I've had a case during an application where I was given a 'homework project' that seemed to me very much not like a theoretical scenario, but more like the company wanting me to do free work for an actual real-world issue they had. Have people had situations where you suspected the same? How do you deal with it?
