Pepe Escobar is great he blogs here http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Others/Escobar.html
Why would you bother expending vast amounts of joules to get more atoms until after you've consumed all the ones surrounding you right now?
Oh yeah I hadn’t considered the need for a review & approve step. That’s pretty important. So actually implementing web mentions is kind of non-trivial.
I guess I wasn’t thinking about acquisitions so much as “you only need one success”. They throw a lot out there I guess hoping some of them will pay off, but it leaves them coming off as scattered to the outside.
CodeWeavers also made the original Bottles. From a decade ago:

> The Manage Bottles
functionality lets you manage the Windows software you have under CrossOver, and displays information regarding the bottles they are placed in. You can think of a bottle as a self contained Windows environment. Bottles can come in several different flavors—Win98, Win2K, WinXP, etc.

Im going to guess you are 27-29.

Before I say why I say this, can you please reply with your age? I want to test a theory which I will reveal in full if you dont mind answering..
> They should be waterboarded

Except, you know, for the part where that is an inhumane thing to do, even when done to people that are actually guilty of committing terrible crimes.

> It's astonishing that somewhere out in the modern world there's an api that returns personally identifiable information without requiring any sort of authentication.

Hello, have you met the 21st century? It's a freakshow and clusterfuck of planetary proportions. Although even accepting that fact, yes, I suppose that doesn't make it less astonishing. Spoiler alert: things will probably get even more astonishing before it gets less. Fasten your seatbelts, wear a hat, etc.
Unless, of course, you already need determinism for multi-player to work. Real time strategy games, first person shooters with complex AI, and other games that are networked in lock-step are already completely deterministic and have to be for it to work at all. You basically get replays for free that way, but it has to be a conscious effort of the entire team to maintain determinism.

Luckily, determinism is something that you can verify with an automated process. After each checkin, run some automated tests on a server farm. Run them twice. During the first run, take a full game world state snapshot periodically. During the second run, verify that the world state is identical since the first run. If it isn't, re-run the test twice. Take snapshots more frequently during the interval where determinism broke. Recurse like a binary search. You can automatically pin-point the exact frame where the simulations diverge.

One you have a replay file and the exact frame, you have the best bug report on the planet. "This replay is build 12345 and crashes on frame 54321". Fire it up in the debugger, run a system command "fast forward to frame 54321" and then just start stepping. Oh, it crashes on that line? Let's drill into that: restart replay, set breakpoint, run to frame 54321, step-in. Freaking beautiful.
I am laughing at the mystery of existence. None of us have anything to be smug about, but we can laugh about it. Have to, really.
Good response, just a side note: there are much simpler and cheaper hosting options than EC2. Consider Heroku, AWS Elsastic Beanstalk, probably others.
I laughed when I got to this:

> “It is the one place I know of online where you can have civil conversations among people with a wide range of views,” said David Friedman, an economist and legal scholar who was a regular part of the discussion. Fellow commenters on the site, he noted, represented a wide cross-section of viewpoints.

Yes, David just said that, thanks for the repetition. Where were the editors on this?

I conjecture that they just felt like they had to publish something after all this time and they went with what they had.

It’s also strange that it doesn’t link to the NYT magazine article on rationalist retreats from a few years ago, nor the New Yorker article about this dispute, nor the New Yorker article about HN, all of which fill in the picture.
Kotlin is meaningless outside Android development.

Kotlin/Native is never going to be a match for other native languages, as its reboot by choosing an incompatible memory model with JVM languages has proven.

While on the JVM, just like trying to replace C on UNIX, JavaScript on the browser, it is just another guest language dancing to Java tunes.

Just another one to share seats between Beanshell, jTCL, Jython, JRuby, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Ceylon, XTend, without big daddys' help to force adoption down developer throats like they are doing on Android.
Divide and conquer. It's a classic technique.
Thank you for posting! I immediately found some old 78's that I had lost, it's great to listen to them again.
For your use case just use PostgREST.
So essentially, the problem is with the people giving the promotions...
A parody would require a significant change in the original. This is just bitcoin, reworded :P.

But yes I see what you are saying.
I really think you have something here.
Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's an older anime (90s) but it had a series of movies afterwards that expand on the ending. It starts as a typical "big robot fight" style anime but quickly evolves into much more.
Sounds like so-called "concentration camps" are preventing you seeing anything else you could learn. How useful is that for you?

Or, if you need some help to get beyond that, let me flip it around for you. Do you disagree with an effective law-enforcement and counter-narrative strategy for countering radical extremism?
On the other side it must be weird to think that the people reaching to you have gone through an auctioning system and were the ones willing to pay the most.

It would be all the weirder for first contact messages for instance.

At the very least, caste doesn’t mean a whole lot in Indian cities.
How many ipv4 are in poss2of the US Gov and military? Do they really need all of those?

With all these elastic search instances running open to the public I have the feeling that with IPv6 this will get worse as NAT no longer protects you.
And once it stops working for insomnia, get ready for some restless limbs. That was my experience, at least. I've found melatonin and a tea with valerian root, chamomile, and a few other extracts (called sleepytime tea) works much better.
For anyone who is wondering, I have heard from ABC and Forbes reporters that at least as of now, this ban would not apply to Dogecoin.
I'm afraid too--that a lot of smart people are flushing their time down the toilet. It seems like all things that actually bring us closer to singularity (if the word means anything at all) are being done by people who've never heard of it, or might as well have never heard of it.
Not all of them are able to write a patch for a bug.

Then what use are they to me? "Hi, I took your stuff for free, but I hate it, and I have no ability to improve it." OK, you mean nothing to me.
Take your own pillow, and not one of those wussy airline pillows either, but a real, large, proper pillow. Works for me :)
You can't found Lubeck without Henry the Lion clearing away the raiders. The solution has to be at least partially military, and that raises a big problem with legitimacy. States are seen as the only legitimate owners of armies, and then only inasmuch as they don't attack each other unprovoked. I like the idea of a sponsor state--that's a good compromise on the legitimacy front. But the reaction he got in Madagascar underscores that it might not be good enough.

The problem is partly the lack of space in which to experiment. On the internet, you can simply create a new site--draft your own rules, draw up whatever security measures you like to enforce them--and ask the world to come if they find that appealing. You don't need anyone else's territory, you can just make something new and experimental. People naturally vote with their feet, and the result is pretty good.

In the real world, that's much harder to do. You cannot simply draft a constitution, enlist a private army and police force, break ground, and invite the world. The ground is already claimed. Nobody likes private armies.

That's too bad. As the article notes, reform and revolution are a lot harder than simply building something new. If nations could simply experiment the way web sites do, if people could easily vote with their feet, we might have gotten government better figured out by now.
Since we are among coders, the idea I've about that is more or less the following:

It's like that the Genome Project provided you with the assembler dump of a program. But you don't know very well the CPU used, nor what the program is doing as a whole. You understood just a few spots, and starting from now it is possible to make progresses, otherwise not possible without the dump.

So there is a great deal of work to do, but the dump is not useless at all...
Very informative post, made me add some movies to my Netflix queue. However, I also read it as a cautionary tale for creative people:

"To that end he hired five artists and spent almost 2 million dollars, roughly 1/5th of the film’s entire budget, on art and design in preproduction. Looking back, it seems clear that he was perfectly happy spending his budget in creating, rather than on a creation. The process was the goal, not a finished movie."

Unfortunately, this happens way too often with really creative people and teh phenomenal results that would have been obtained had the project succeeded never get realized.
$45k/10 months = $54k/12 months = $4.5k/month. Simple arithmetic.

The TUS is a random sampling of Americans, the report in particular is the same data restricted to teachers. But I'm sure you can do a better job of sampling by asking your wife and her friends than the BLS can by calling randomly selected people.

Regarding benefits, it varies from state to state. You may be unlucky and live in one of the few states where teachers can't retire at 55 (i.e., retirement benefits which are 2.8x better than those of normal employees, ignoring completely the costs of defined benefits). Most states, however, give ridiculously good fringe benefits to state employees at the cost of some wages.

Also, many professions involve purchasing various goods and services. Doctors often purchase medical supplies, consultants purchase equipment (laptop, etc), I purchase books, most people in banking purchase expensive signaling clothes (can't get promoted if you don't look the part). Really nothing unique here.
Media is already late to the game. Guaranteed there is already a replacement for 4chan of which we've never heard but is spewing memetic galaxies like a dorky black hole.
I'm on a Core2 Duo (T7200) and the range of CPU time spent by those loaders varies from 30% to 120%.
I heard true Scotsmen truly understand 4chan.
I don't mind downvotes, but it seems that there are two groups, both arguing with me, both probably downvoting, who should really be arguing with each other. The views can be summarized as

A) The author is describing the psychology of poverty, how people develop a self-fulfilling belief that it is impossible to escape poverty. Poor people are making objectively bad decisions because they are unable to do otherwise due to the psychological impact of poverty. By failing to understand this, I show that I am callous and unsympathetic.

B) The author is describing the external difficulties of escaping poverty, in which various mechanisms make it extremely hard to escape poverty no matter what actions a person takes. By failing to acknowledge this reality, I am showing that I am callous and unsympathetic.
Thanks for your reply! I feel better about it.
It's funny how little infrastructure some projects can get away with. Many Android ROMs only have a thread on XDA and a file on Google Drive.
For me this is by far the main reason. I do eat out, but only at a select few places. Pretty much everywhere else, I end up thinking that I could have cooked a much, much tastier meal for a small fraction of the price.

I think more and more places are capitalizing on people who don't cook. A local bakery is all about giant cookies. I bought some once and almost gagged. They are clearly made using vegetable shortening and I have to assume their customers can't taste the difference between that and real butter. Really, I'd happily pay the small difference if they used high quality ingredients. The places that actually care about the quality of their food and not just their profits are the ones that get my business.
Interesting to see how a language that is barely out of the egg is already supplanting one that has been around for decades because of the 'bus-factor'.

If you're wondering why FP hasn't caught on in the mainstream I think this is one of the hints: if it's hard to find programmers then the language/ecosystem may have unique and desirable traits but people will still switch just to gain easy access to developers. And that switch wasn't exactly free in this case (they already did a bunch of stuff in Erlang).

That said, olegdb does not seem to be the most seriously run software project, https://olegdb.org/faq.html is not going to inspire confidence in anybody in a position to decide whether to use it or a competitor.
Sounds cool but I'm kind of reluctant to run a VBox only described by a pastebin-like bit of text. Does anyone else think that way?
Because the customer has no freaking idea what the requirements are at the start of the project.

I disagree. to get a scrum project (or any project) going, you do need to have a vague idea of what you want (e.g. I want a website to sell my widgets online) and a few features for the next iteration (.e.g. List all the widgets. Take an order by email).

Scrum just says that you can inspect, adapt and iterate over that process.
Today I got up at 3am. At least I get a lot done, there aren't too many distractions at that time of day.
I call them a “get rich quick” scheme but for intelligence.

Think about it. You watch a couple videos and now you’re smarter than everyone you know. (Or you feel that way)

I still wish I had a way to counter it.
They might have contained it better as they went pretty intense on lockdown. There were lots of videos on internet from their lockdown on which people were laughing at China being an authoritarian state. The videos displayed homes being taped from outside if someone in that home was suspected of having it, people being picked from streets etc. Being an authoritarian state really helps in these scenarios as you can suppress liberties easily without people rising up in arms about it.

Having said this though, being an authoritarian state with constant efforts to have a good image, they might have underreported the numbers of actual cases.
It's also a cultural problem. We've taken individualism too far. It's become a religion with dogmatic followers who will double down on it even when it is absolutely the worst option for the circumstance.
I've been blown away by Cuomo's steady hand and
calm reassurance in this time. While De Blasio has flip-flopped from apathy to utter panic, Cuomo has remained fairly consistent. I appreciate his insistence on preventing panic by using specific language.
Let's add another floor to the house of cards!
That's fair, but aren't all the comments talking about PRC propaganda propaganda itself?

> I hope I’m wrong

Do you really? It seems to me that many who share your sentiments actually want things to get worse both in china and around the world. That's just the feeling I get reading the comments.

Also, it would be interesting if there was a study done on the "PRC propaganda" crowd and the "CCP propaganda" crowd - from a linguistic and propaganda standpoint.
The most compelling reasons I've seen all come back to the Default Mode Network ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network ).

I'm no neuroscientist but I think there's a lot to uncover about how that influences our creativity and maybe that can influence how we design intelligent systems down the line.
Presumably cows are already being grown at reasonable rates though, they are just redirected to the restaurants. How does that work at the moment in the food industry when the wholesalers can't sell to their customers but still have the products manufactured?
Which, despite the author, is not a comparison of C and Pascal. The backstory is that Kernighan wrote (with Plaugher) a book called "Software Tools". They wrote it in RATFOR, which is a front-end for FORTRAN. They wrote significant chunks of code - not just examples.

Some time later, Kernighan got the idea to re-write the book using Pascal - a much more modern, easy-to-use language. And after doing so, he wondered "Why was that so hard? Pascal should be way easier to write in than RATFOR." And he wrote this paper, analyzing why it was hard to write Software Tools in Pascal.
There are always services like Notion to consider too. Cloud-based web-app, always available with zero need to install anything anywhere. Beautiful, mobile and tablet friendly writing. Move effortlessly between writing the same doc on your couch, desk, on the go, etc. Share and collaborate effortlessly with other people.

A self-hosted open source option here if you can do some basic web-app setup and maintenance is HedgeDoc.
Yeah sometimes the small commits with message is useful for me too instead of amending a big accumulated check. Doing this now, in fact. It's all so situation dependent.
The baby is crying because they want attachment to the parent. Give them the love they want. Don't deprive them of love by letting them cry it out. Comfort them!
> The final tally was 266 in favour and zero opposed.

Great news and I hope more countries follow the lead.
Useful for supporting `font-size` too, when inline with text (eg: for a label/button with an icon).
I wouldn't call it "destroying communities through eviction", but I do agree that cramming everyone into the same small set of places is its own harmful issue and should be reconsidered as well.
Given the type of both recent and predicted conflicts that the US has been involved with, it's not 100% clear to me that the US needs yet another aircraft. That is, fighting in proxy wars or fighting in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria don't need anything new. And fighting a sophisticated enemy would probably ramp up to nuclear deterrents and diplomacy anyway...fighters wouldn't make a notable difference in that kind of war.

Won't happen, but it seems like they should just buy fighters from allies where the F-35 isn't a good fit.
They usually have superior reliability, at least as far as the entire system crashing less.

And some newer cryptocurrency strategies have very high transaction rates.

A sample of thousands is huge. Imagine rolling a dice a few thousand times and getting no or very few sixes. You would be certain that the dice wasn't fair.
See my edit above. Looking at a country's overall death rates is not how you should compare virulence.
I know about the AARD episode, and Microsoft lost a lawsuit over it, which was the right result.

There's zero evidence Microsoft sabotaged Netflix.

There's zero evidence Netscape crashed for any reason other than buggy Netflix code. Making a web page that crashes Netflix is a bug in Netflix. Microsoft is under zero obligation to work around Netflix bugs.
> For practical purposes, do you want to count these symptom-free infections in that calculation?

well it possibly changes the calculus of how many people could potentially be a carrier of the virus. if that many people had the disease enough to have some antibodies even with all the extreme measures put into place it is possible this virus is even more contagious than we thought it could be. i don't know and i feel like we won't know because the study of transmission is woefully hard to do. going into this we didn't even know specifically how the flu was transmitted other than hand waving ways(maybe on the surface, maybe aerosols, maybe particles). our research has improved but it's still not great.
The nice thing is that all 4 are valid Nim.
Wew. That was surprisingly fun!

I managed to do it in three guesses, but man was I slow.
