Maybe. 501(c)(3) is a special class of tax exempt organization where not only is the organization exempt for taxation, but donors can claim a tax deduction. So in a certain way it's a privilege, not a right.

I'm as libertarian as they come, but corporate taxes and all their byzantine systems are not like a personal income tax, where you can go to jail or have your wife and child shot for not paying up - it kind of is an opt-in system. So there is somewhat of a categorical difference.
Which boils down to: There's a reason that architects and engineers use schematics, rather than just writing instructions in prose.
This just about sums up my office and what everyone likes about it. Snacks and coffee and a fridge filled with beverages is a huge plus that everyone seems to like. And definitely lots of natural light.

And to add to the bad, how about being next to a military airport with jets flying past all day (yes, I speak from experience).
It's not just when you blow it up - I found the bitmapped font considerably more legible at 1:1 size. Hinting definitely makes sense at larger sizes, but when it's that small it tends to look a bit muddy to me.
Rounders, Count of Monte Cristo, Gladiator.
That hasn't been free for a while.
Max, give it a try and you'll see that it's actually a ton of fun =) The people that go to the meals are inherently social, and always have interesting things to say. In Chicago, a bunch of people come that just moved to the city, are traveling for business, are tired of meeting people at bars, or just are older now and their social circle has decreased.
Nope I am having the same issues, glad to know it's not just me!.. although it seems to vary on the time of day.
1. No, It looks like an interesting kit but I'm personally waiting for the new Netduino Plus to be released this month.
I suspect that it’s simpler than that. Having it accidentally leak out of a lab facility where it was being studied for legitimate scientific reasons would still be humiliating, and devastating to Chin’s soft-power.
We had that in the past, SQLJ

Pesticide manufacturers, fertilizer manufacturers, seed companies without the gene editing know how. A very large number of people who are happy with the status quo and see disruption as a danger to their bottom line.
Is it fine if I use olive oil? Italians seem to have exceptional health.
Different for different types of GMO. Some would allow use of currently unusable land and easier entry so those who already have the usable land and don't want new entries perhaps. Everything that labels itself 'Organic', too or builds their brand around it, too I'd imagine.

At any rate, I'm not convinced it's so much a lobbying problem than appealing to a questionable public sentiment. How much of that sentiment is driven by profit and how much of it is driven by more mundane misconception is hard to tell (for me).

Edit:

> Big chemical and agtech

Not necessarily. Some GMO strains require less chemicals and make some of the tech redundant.
Specifically vegetable seed oil, like sunflower oil or canola oil.

The other thing I'm very skeptical of now is milk replacements, like oat milk.

For cooking just use olive oil, coconut oil, or regular butter.
I am not an audiologist... but I don’t think it would result in 2x the sound. I believe a sound originating from 2 sources with the same amplitude results in either phase cancellation or the same resulting amplitude, not 2x. This is similar to what happens with line arrays.
Where I live[1], you either have WhatsApp or you do not exist to your social circle and to the world. Yet, I do not have WhatsApp and live just fine.

I don’t know who might be paying whom.

But speaking to regretful food decisions with lots of industry support and relatively little public awareness, I would rather our foods didn’t have so many emulsifiers in them.

Their risks to our gut biomes and immune systems weren’t appreciated when they were approved. Today they remain ubiquitous in typical American diets.
I am so sick of people cowering to idiots with assault rifles strapped to their chest threatening violence. If you hold the above attitude, it is working. This country cannot be held hostage because following the law will cause people to get pissed off and break shit.

That's a specific crime though. If Trump says "I pardon all Parler users for all crimes", can Parler start selling its accounts as a "get out of federal crimes free" card?
Interesting. So the bone spur thing has already been pardoned.
I think the new Zen 3 stuff is pretty good, but your take is highly biased. Objectively, the 10900K came out 6 months ago. The Ryzen 5000 series came out, effectively, at some point in the future. It's not in stock anywhere and nobody owns one. Using the benchmarks in this article, the Ryzen 5950X is 2% faster.

As far as stuff you can buy today there's Apple way out in front (if you can live with their RAM configs) followed distantly by last year's i9, then there's AMD.
Great read so far, but part III doesn't seem to be there.
This reminds me of that video about a Russian spy being interviewed saying how Russia's spy efforts are being focused on making the USA population hate eachother. And I'm not saying this IS the result of Russia but it sure seems like this prediction is getting more true every day.
I was one of the first people to reverse-engineer the binary Word file format and was one of the early contributors to POI.I've spent a career writing code against various file formats.

Unfortunately, most of the comments here are not based on first-hand technical knowledge. How many of you have tried to code against the OOXML spec? I have. It's pretty good.

Most people in the community of "people actually doing stuff in this area", which Miguel is a part of, feel like Microsoft is acting in good faith. See http://www.opensource.org/node/351.
If anyone wants a Things license let me know. I'm out.
That can be avoided by altering the logic by which supernodes are queried. Not all nodes must try all supernodes.
That's true. "not copyrighted" and "unable to prove it" are unfortunately basically synonymous.
Obvious possibilities include German being the most used non-English language for Skype users, or that they're going to be adding other languages but their translators haven't yet written them.

The only guess I have that isn't from an obvious reason is that Skype HQ is in Luxembourg, a small country right next to Germany. One of the three official languages there is German, and the other is Luxembourgish, which is closely related to German.
They should have called it J++.

Oh, wait.
"“Samsung’s Galaxy Tab computer tablet also slavishly copies a combination of several elements of the Apple Product Configuration Trade Dress,” Apple says in its suit, noting that Samsung’s tablet, like Apple’s, uses a similar rectangular design with rounded corners, similar black border and array of icons."

Ah yes, rectangles with rounded corners, the presence of black borders, and the ability to have icons.

But joking aside, the samsung one sold in Korea does look very similar.
Cool story, bro. Are you playing the role of the smart person or the cocksure idiot in this particular situation?
Its about time! Great to see the combo of a great data source and a great data access method. Thank you Devin Foley for making this happen.
Well, while pingdom is a similar type service, Statify (http://statifyme.com) will focus on just the simple task of notifying you when your site is down. The tools will be a lot easier to use, setup and manage your sites, there will be no fluff to get in the way. The pricing will be a lot simpler too, you'll get more for way less. As I get closer to launch I'll update the launch page to show more of the coming features. Thanks again.
It is crap, but it's interesting crap. It's wrong, but it's wrong in an interesting way. And a discussion on Freeman Dyson is always worthwhile.

But now it's dead. Sic transit gloria frontpage.
Fair enough. And I was just waking up, and probably -- certainly -- a bit curt. But... I hesitate when I see grammatical mistakes, whatever the site design may be.

There is a subset of sites/designs that put great emphasis into a graphical appearance, but do not write well.

In this specific case, you want to use "than" rather than "then". "Than" is a comparison. "Then" denotes a sequence or position in time. :-)

P.S. I guess I should add that "native" does not work here as a noun. In the context you are using, it would be an adjective -- a modifier. "English isn't my native language." That would work.

"Native" as a noun is used to identify an indigenous person. I believe this latter use is mostly considered a bit dated or "politically incorrect", these days, as it has historically often expressed or implied a hierarchical relationship and a negative judgment of the indigenous culture.
I seem to have missed the suggestion of censorship. Or did you bring that up for some reason?
Spying on other memberstates in the EU parliament (indirectly in this case) violates the neutrality of the body governing the EU. It's a pretty big deal imho, but we'll see what the eventual fall-out will be.

Here is a good article (in Dutch) about the whole thing:

http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/12/13/verantwoording-en-docume...

It's getting quite a bit of media coverage here.

One key bit is that this is not just GHCQ working in isolation, the NSA also had a hand in it:

"Ze maken gebruik van een Amerikaanse techniek (Quantum Insert), ontwikkeld door een speciale afdeling van de NSA, om computers te hacken. Als iemand online gaat, wordt zijn internetverkeer vliegensvlug omgeleid naar een netwerkcomputer (of server) die de Amerikaanse geheime dienst stiekem controleert."

Which roughly translates to "They use a special American technique (Quantum Insert), developed by a special department of the NSA, to hack computers. If someone goes online their internettraffic is redirected lightningfast to a network computer (or server) controlled by the American secret services."
There is no doubt that, in large parts of Congo, people are worse off than they were ca. 1960. But do you seriously propose a return to colonialism as the solution? Because that is what your governor Pétillon remark seems to say... I don't believe such plan could get major support in Congo atm.

My objection is with the after the fact justification of colonialism. Charity was never an objective of colonial efforts, it would be very naive to think otherwise. The fact that the rapid decolonization (which was by no means the end of foreign intervention in Congolese affairs) did not lead to a stable and prosperous independant state, is no argument in favour of colonization either.

I'm honestly surprised of the upvotes these neo-colonial comments are getting.
good job chrys, looks impressive. Haven't used it yet, but happy to support.
Relevant quote from the last line of the article: "The imprimatur of science should be awarded only to a theory that is testable. Only then can we defend science from attack."
"JIT" techniques were pretty common. Well, first write code to memory and then run it. Often used for drawing lines etc. Simplest implementations just modified code in memory, more complicated actually built the function byte by byte.
"with an objective measure of who would have won in a real combat situation"

In a real combat situation, the people being struck would experience shock and degradation of fighting ability, which would have affected the points they'd go on to score. I would say this is more about who would have scored the most points in exactly this setting.
"Brains behind TiVo"? TiVo just modernized video recording by digitizing it.
Impossible. It must be on the equator. Attaching a line from the ground to a large object in geosynchronous orbit is the essential plan, and GEO only happens above the equator.
Another problem never answered: Do we have the resources (funds and material) to create the amount of material needed?

Lets say the cable is 1m2 thick: 1m2 * 100000m (Kármán line) = 100000m3. Maybe this doesn't sound like a lot until you check the prices of nanotube-like materials.
Sending money internationally.

Comparing products across brands (they all have specs but the way they sort the specs is different and it's a pain to flip through tons of tabs).

Finding a chair to fit my kitchen table (given the dimensions of both).

Diagramming my bedroom to try to figure out if I can build a better bed.

Finding furniture that fits in a given volume (in my case, I want to find a trolley or counter that's Y cm high, at least X cm long, and between Z1 and Z2 cm deep).
Apologies, I'm posting this few times, but are you calculating the total number of solutions, or just finding a solution? The latter has a closed form solution: https://gist.github.com/IanCal/1858601

That'll do ~N=1e6 in a second (I'm sure there are lots of optimisations that could be done in it though), or solutions for N=4 to N=1000 in less than 10.

The more complex problem is finding out how many solutions there are in total.
He followed some pretty logical steps and made a fair enough point, there's no reason for you to be a douche about it.
I'm not quite sure I am parsing your question correctly, but:

The Moon is yanking the Earth around, but even something that stupendously massive doesn't do much damage (the tidal forces are nothing to sneeze at.. but the 'wobble' caused by the difference between the Earths center of mass and the Earth-Moon barycenter (the point that the Earth and Moon both orbit) is negligible in nearly every consideration).

This would absolutely not be a concern.
There is indeed compelling evidence that nose breathing has many health benefits compared to mouth breathing. Including but not limited to better sleep, and immume function.

This idea of which way the wind is blowing is accurate for me as well. I used to read the FT and Economist for a similar reason which was 'this is what people who make business decisions use as their level of understanding.'

What changed is that the views in them no longer had any durable meaning or predictive power. The necessary ingredient in news has always been conflict, this is what makes a story a story, but when you can fabricate infinite conflict by applying a hyperbolic (ideological) lens to some second hand facts, it (cheaply) produces an approximation of news, but without any importance or value because the conflict is manufactured. So-called "fake news," was less about fabricated events so much as it was about fake conflict.

Net-net, dropping mainstream news some years ago has improved my overall quality of life tremendously.
So they say. But every architecture known to man already has a Forth implementation. So why bother make another when you can get busy doing useful stuff? I would say it's just for the fun of programming a Forth.
Really curious on where those services (RethinkDNS, NextDNS, ...) are actually run. AWS ? Azure ? GCP ? In-house ?
Because instead of helping, people just complain on the internet.
Can you recommend a book on negotiating?
No, they literally turned off my internet, putting me into their walled garden. Any outbound connection attempt was redirected to their captive portal telling me to install the new gear and activate my new service.
What you're describing is welfare, not UBI. The core principle of UBI is that it's distributed regardless of income.
> Offering equal pay for equal work [...] Pay people for their contribution and treat all humans with equal respect.

Does any company actually do this? I don’t feel like this is economically feasible. What rate do you pay? The California rate or the Romania rate? If pay the Romania rate then no one from California will work for you. If you pay the California rate then you will be putting way more money into salaries then needed, which could drown your company in hard times. Splitting the difference doesn’t actually solve anything.

I can see in the long run equal pay becoming a reality, especially within a country (same pay for California or Nebraska) because movement is so easy. But it will be long time before cost of living between the poorest matches that of the richest.

If you read further, they talk about the value of synchronous communication, too. The key to both is being intentional.
How much storage do they give? (In FAQ they say either unlimited to backup a singe PC or as much space as your account)

What limits on file sizes? (In FAQ they say 2TB)
That's interesting, especially this, I think:

> Shared IP Address

> There are 68,258 domains hosted on 216.58.217.36 (AS15169 Google LLC) including google.com. Here's a sample: [...]

You wrote:

what does "all domains" mean? All domains worldwide? Or some sub set?

As mentioned, I think your project sounds interesting — still I'm wondering, how did you verify there's an interest for what you're building? (I'd think/guess there is, just wondering if/how you verified this, or knew beforehand)
I presume because users must sign up, and verify email before being able to download and they don’t want to exchange their information as a “currency” for a free product?
Furthermore, the idea of then tracking each thing I use/consume (just to keep the inventory count right) sounds mind-numbingly tedious.
Given the challenges list https://airtable.com/shrs71ccUVKyvLlUA/tbl6Br4W3IyPGk1jt/viw... , google translate regrettably doesn't (only the frame). Bing translate just dies. :/ The CSV request has a short and signed expiration, so that wasn't a workaround.
With everyone working from home, One of the challenges right now is how to connect to your remote applications securely.

I set up a secure way to connect to my application and you can demo that at https://viggy28.dev/book

There are many ways, but here is one:

Read and lightly work through The C Programming Language (K&R). Code along with the book, don’t feel you have to really deep-dive anything.

You don’t have to learn C well at this point. Just learn from it.

Then start reading The Art Of Unix Programming. Do this casually. Read a bit, code a bit. Between K&R and TAOUP, you’ll be inspired by to write at least two small projects.

To supplement K&R and TAOUP, begin reading Unix Network Programming.

If you have access to a Mac or a Linux machine, explore the man pages.

If you’re on a Mac, explore the man pages __and__ the code that lives on your system.

One way to do this is to use something like vscode’s intellisense to “Go to Definition.” E.g., when you’re coding an example from K&R, right click on one of the included headers, and click “Go to definition.” It will take you to the header file. Look through the code. Then you could look at the code from FreeBSD or OpenBSD on GitHub.

Edit:
Just wanted to add, by doing the above you’ll get exposure to your system in new ways. Moreover, you’ll find yourself learning Unix out of necessity, for fun, and by accident. You can practice the art of Unix programming in almost any language at this point. C is unix-y, but so is Rust.
Yep, in the Netherlands government covers 90% of the salary

The company is not called British Petroleum since '98 when it changed its name to just BP. It is a true multinational which employs a substantial number of Americans and pays more in tax to the US government than it does to the UK. That rather glaring mistake early indicates the author is not as familiar with the background as perhaps he ought to get published in the WSJ.
I love this thing. I enjoy guessing colors in my CSS anyways, so this is a natural <strike>addition</strike> addiction.

Suggestions:

- Add a timer

- Add total scoring

- Allow "new game" to happen without a new request

- Make the wrongfully selected color still be there but x-it out or something so you can keep it as reference

- Hex numbers in uppercase and preferably in a mono spaced font

Please :)
Yes, but when you explicitly politicize the funding system you're going to get political results, like healthy support for "gender studies or literature" regardless of the demand.

These things are already politicized. Right now, the system of higher education milks the public by convincing them to take on government subsidized debt. What if we eliminate the debt and make the subsidy direct? Does this have a negative impact on countries that provide free higher education?

(My question is open and genuine, not a stroke in a debate.)
That is entirely possible. But his supporters will not read it that way.

The most powerful person on the planet should be held to a higher standard than just blating out whatever is on his mind.
I'm not in a place to practice google-fu, but if I'm remembering correctly, wasn't the Texas lawsuit not heard by the USSC because they didn't follow the protocol necessary to have a case heard by the USSC?
I don't understand bolting concurrency onto something that is interpreted. A compiler would get you 10-100x speedup, without your users having to do the complex thing of writing safe parallel code.
Depends on who's GPL3 code is being distributed. If it's 100% Gyroflow's code, couldn't they distribute in the app store under whatever license is necessary while also hosting a GPL3 repos somewhere?

Admittedly, not a great solution and Android is just always going to be more friendly for apps and use cases that fall outside of mainstream.
Here's how the fed caught them:

Procedural macros in Rust are essentially code generators.
>When I worked for Nintendo we broadly called the segment I’m in “lapsed gamer” and it’s actually a pretty big niche...

I'm interested in what you've said here. Not only does it describe me but, if Nintendo are tracking it, it explains why they're one of the few companies I would trust to continue making the kind of solid, single player experiences that I enjoyed when I wasn't 'lapsed'.

I have no interest in 'e-sports'ey online multiplayer because I don't want to invest time to be good enough to enjoy it. I don't want to invest in a game-as-a-service because I don't want to feel trapped in it.
It seems that part of the goal of c2rust was to retain the C memory layout in memory. If that's not required, C arrays can be translated to Rust arrays. Except for some corner cases involving casts and pointer arithmetic, that should work, and generate much cleaner output code. You can detect those, at least. For pointer arithmetic, do the pointer arithmetic and convert it to a subscript before indexing. Then you have bounds checks.

This is a classic problem with computer language conversion - you lose the idioms of both the input language and the output language in translation.
that's an issue with electing presidents and powerful people that are over 70 years old lol
I'd never run across coalesce before. I usually end up doing nested NVL calls if I'm trying to find the first non-null in a series of expressions (I'm on Oracle, btw). I've now added this function to my toolbox.
