> Further, why can’t we fix this issue? If it takes 3 hours to get the ID then compensate hourly workers to get it and pass a law requiring jobs to allow time for such a thing. Why because it’s difficult for some we give up on the entire idea of requiring IDs?

Don't assume people in power want to fix the issue. After the Voting Rights Act was gutted in 2013, states began shutting down DMV locations where IDs are issued. In Alabama, 31 of 67 locations were shut down, primarily in Black parts of the state. This was done specifically to disenfranchise voters, and was done in conjunction with pushes for Voter ID laws.

I think of it as the opposite: keeping the right-of-way against the day rail may return.
People keep pointing this out but has Intel had such significant performance improvements since sandy bridge? With x86 it seems that lately you would be foolish to upgrade less than once every 3-4 years because the difference is just not that significant
Cost is based on both consumption and efficiency, not consumption alone because with a more efficient bulb you can illuminate a given area with fewer bulbs.
I guess taste really is subjective because this is the best looking truck I have seen in my life
The idea is that you should know basic maths (say what matrix multiplication does and what a vector space is) and a bit of Python.
We work very hard on keeping everything hands-on from there.

How is that different from the US having fuck knows how many migrants (and children) in concentration camps, or "terrorists" in concentration camps, or slaves in overcrowded prisons, etc etc etc.

I mean not specifically you, but why are people in these comments all moral policing a country halfway across the world while their own is just as bad?

It really does not. You’re inventing things to be offended by. It simply means it is low quality version of the same thing, which it very much is.

In retrospect, Ford’s first cars were a poor version of their 2019 ones. Doesn’t in any way diminish the accomplishments of the past.
I think it has it can have its uses, even if it's not great for every single situation.

For example, say you want to play a particular new game but don't have the hardware for it. Stadia could be a good option to quickly get to play without having to buy new hardware.

Say I have a decent PC for most days and small games, but I'd like to try the new Forza Horizon because it looks fun. I could very well get it on Stadia. I'm not worried about losing access in 10 years, it's just to have some fun for a few months.

Actually for games with pretty high requirements such as the future Microsoft Flight Simulator, streaming could be the best option for most people.
In a bit more practical terms:

Mesos is a generic cluster manager. Its job is to keep track of available resources (RAM/CPU/Disk space) on a group of machines, and to share these resources between "Frameworks", which are more or less specialized distributed applications.

Available framework include existing applications that have been ported to Mesos (Jenkins, Hadoop, Elasticsearch, ...), along with some that have been developed specifically for Mesos (Chronos for running cron-like tasks, Marathon for running long-running tasks).

For example, you can tell Marathon "I want to run 10 instances of ./my_code, with 512MB of RAM and 2 cores each", and the framework and Mesos will collaborate to figure out where to run them. As a bonus, Mesos has some Docker integration, so you can natively do things like "Start 20 instances of container my_organization/my_app".

The datacenter OS thing is a bit of a shaky metaphor, but the idea is that, like the OS does for a single computer, the role of Mesos is to view your cluster resources as a single pool, and to try to fairly allocate these resources between multiple (distributed) applications.
Lots of great responses here, I can chime in! I'm from Minneapolis.

I usually wake up between 9-11, and always without an alarm. I'll get up, take a 5-hour energy, go have some breakfast while I watch Reddit.tv. Breakfast is usually toast and Honey Bunches of Oats, sometimes eggs and toast, sometimes a toaster strudel (no toast). I'll then pop my Vyvanse (adderall) and head to my office.

Once I'm in my office I'll hop on Slack, Ventrilo (we <3 it), and check my emails. I'll check in with everyone to let them know I'm alive and I'll excuse myself while I spend 15-minutes max replying to emails.

Lunch is usually around 1, but no later than 2. It's a bit smaller than my breakfast is, but enough to ensure that I don't get hungry before dinner.

I'll then spend the next five hours as close to a 100% productivity level as I can.

Figure it's about 7, I start to unwind. I'll put on a sports game or head out for a drink with colleagues or clients.

Around 9 is when I'm usually doing my own thing. I'll spend some time on my piano or working on a side project.

It's now about 11 where I settle into bed, no laptop allowed on my bed. I'll put on a documentary, close out emails, and prepare for the next day.

I'm 23, self-employed. I quit my bullshit "100+ hour work week let's call you at 1am saying somethings not working on my daughter's iPhone with the app" a few months ago. I'm not going back.

Is it really that big of a secret when some party is "fucking a country really bad"? The fact that a politician was heard saying it should not have changed things. The level of debt, regulations and taxation is pretty much public knowledge. And so, if a subsequent party gains power and does nothing about those issues, there should be equal outrage.
Do you even need to think about infinite geometric series?

You have a 1/3 chance of picking the direct door, so on average it will take you three tries to catch it.

1 try == 1 day delay expected (1/3 x 0 + 1/3 x 1 + 1/3 x 2).

3 tries, 3 days.

Not sure where you're getting this from my post, but that is false. I actually deleted it, did not log in again during the "grace period" where they will just reactivate it, and my new account I created was initially empty (no profile data, friends, message history, you name it).
It's amazing how quickly people leap to conclusions in the field of evolutionary biology. Fact: a portion of the placenta's protein sequence is very similar or identical to a virus. Unsubstantiated (and pretty wild) conclusion: the placenta is the product of that virus. We would never accept that kind of mythology in software, medicine, law, etc. – why do it here?
Yes. The challenge is how to measure individual contributors. It’s easy in Sales, which is why salespeople can do very well without being managers. Harder with engineers, whose work is very interconnected.
> * You can not compare goods across two countries by simply taking the exchange rate, you need to normalise to account for different factors like disposable income

This is where you are wrong. You have to take exchange rate when calculating PPP. Which is what I have been trying to explain to you. You are completely skipping exchange rate, which is why you are getting an inflated figure of 1.91$ per GB.

You should be calculating it this way:

Exchange rate: 73.17 INR = 1 USD
Now 9 cents is, 0.09 USD = 0.09 * 73.17 = 6.58 INR.

Since PPP is 21.3,
6.58 INR would be 6.58 / 21.3 = 0.3 USD

So 9 cents in India is equal to 30 cents in USA. Now, that is 30 cents per GB and not 1.91$ per GB.

Remember that PPP is INR/USD and not USD/USD.

Sure, but when it comes to cookies, consent is almost always required on the GDPR basis (other legal basis are rarely working).

You're right to point to e-privacy, to which consent is central. But the latest draft of its new version states that (art.8):
1.The use of processing and storage capabilities of terminal equipment and the collection of information from end-users’ terminal equipment, including about its software and hardware, other than by the end-user concerned shall be prohibited, except on the following grounds:
[...]
(d)it is necessary for audience measuring, provided that such measurement is carried out by the provider of the information society service requested by the end-user or by a third party, or by third parties jointly,on behalf of theone or more providersof the information society service provided that conditions laid down in Article 28, or where applicable Article 26,of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 are met

So Matomo can still do without the user consent (from what I understand, the relation between GDPR and e-privacy is no easy business).

I kind of lost interest at that point. I'm not interested in managing another subscription for this.

Edit: It looks like it includes a hosted server. That makes more sense, but I'd prefer an option without it.
With an energy source, you can manufacture fossil fuels from atmospheric carbon, giving you carbon-neutral fossil fuels.

The goal is to substantially reduce the CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere, not to just talk about how People Like Us are better than Those Fossil Fuel People, right?

Ah OK cool, apologies for misunderstanding you. Now that I’ve got the core record/playback experience, I’m keen to explore ways to simplify the authoring and maintenance experience even further.

Sidenote but does anybody know how feasible it is to install mac on a virtual machine and develop extensions for safari?
Friston's principle of free energy was actually the first thing that came to mind on reading the title, it's an absolutely fascinating idea.
If that were still true I don't think virtualization would have caught on to the extent that it has. I work in a pretty conservative business that used to run everything on IBM and then HP mainframes but has since migrated to commodity x86 hardware running VMWare. Downtimes do happen but modern monitoring and deployment processes can address them quickly and cheaply.

Freedom of speech is important enough to where the logic of disallowing shouting fire in a theater should not be taken for granted. There are few if any black and white cases to be had here - it might seem like that since we are living in times where "reasonable" speech has always been well tolerated and supported, so it seems like a non-issue for us.

Having said that, I think its ideal use cases at the current time are probably less of a general messaging solution with friends, and more for specific scenarios where off-internet and security is maybe most salient.
Both twitter and Facebook are doing a great job of betraying their proclaimed purposes and becoming arbiters of what people can and can't see on the internet. That seems pretty orwellian/dystopian and is very similar to what goes on in communist China, where the government shuts down websites all the time for showing things that the CCP doesn't want people to see. :(
and btw, if the dividers were office cube dividers instead of chain link would you still call it a "cage" ?
Back when the mafia used to have their own lottery (aka "the numbers"), there were two ways to pick the winning number (usually between 1 and 100).

Option 1:

Use the last two digits of some commonly available public number that was, essentially, random or at least unpredictable and not controllable. A good example today would be the cents portion of the SP500 index.

Options 2:

Tally up which of the numbers had the least amount of money bet on it and then make that the number.

You can guess which of the two options the more nefarious organizations used.

Interesting related note: back in the first half of the 20th century, there used to be a game in the newspapers where you were presented with a grid of faces, each one being numbered. The goal was to pick the face that you though OTHER people would pick most often. In other words, if you picked the most popular face, you would win. This led to lots of "well which face do I think other people will think is most popular etc"

John Maynard Keynes used the game above as a proxy for the stock market with stocks being the faces e.g. you were trying to pick the stock you thought that everyone else would buy.
What makes dynamic programming special is that it exploits optimal substructure, where a problem can be broken down into smaller sub-problems, the solution to which must be part of the optimal solution to the larger problem.

While caching can be applied anywhere, dynamic programming can only be applied where optimal substructure is present. For example, finding the shortest path between all points in a graph. Likewise, finding the longest path doesn't have optimal substructure and so dynamic programming cannot be applied in that case.

Not being able to scroll was a pain, but nothing that tmux or even output piped to less couldn't solve. It wasn't glorious, but it worked. That said, might be tempted to try ET just because scrolling through long winded outputs are a frequent thing.
Even if you're right (and finger count is a common example for students to teach the concept of heritability), this will run counter to what people think when they hear "heritability."

Most people wouldn't think "number of fingers is heritable because their propensity for risk taking is genetic" they would say it's because the number of fingers we are born with is genetic, which would be a mostly incorrect reason for any heritability statistic on number of fingers. I think your possible explanation about why number of fingers might be fairly heritable only reinforces my point about what most people understand about heritability.

And, for the same reason, while risk taking seems to be heritable, we don't know the particular genetic contribution to risk taking.
Exactly this. You can't ignore dividends.

国进民退 guó jìn mín tuì "state advances, private retreats" was coined to refer to the Chinese government bailing out state-owned enterprises while letting private companies go bankrupt after the 2008 financial crisis. That's both not "now" and also before Xi's rise to power.
But if you factor in environmental influence, such as having a tiger parent, then the great genes for X would still be activated without requiring the complimentary execution genes. Nurture nurtures nature.
I'd suspect it's more likely the opposite: as the pipe is dewatered it creates a negative pressure that pulls the water out of the p-traps which then temporarily allows gaseous exchange with the building air.

EDIT: Nevermind, I originally was thinking that a sufficiently negative pressure differential could overwhelm the capacity of the vent. But the more I think about it, the pressure range that I'd expect even with an unusual operation probably wouldn't be far enough outside normal range to do that. ...although there are definitely still some possibilities to do some stupid.
I wouldn't be so sure, I used dark mode winamp and litestep themes back in the winxp days. It could have originally been that crt white was not that nice, but I still find a largely white lcd screen a bit much.

Instagram has turned out to be an amazing acquisition for Facebook. Facebook make >$12 billion dollars in 2014. You're saying Instagram wasn't worth 1 months revenue for Facebook? It's a double digit percentage of all time people spend interacting with Facebook's app constellation.
They could go along the same path as Foursquare and get as many users as possible and worry about monetization later. Although I think ianl is right, adding an intuitive mobile app with a killer UI is essential for your success/adoption. I would be down to use an app that had the activity list of TripAdvisor (with more unique user provided up to date options) integrated with the geo/social characteristics of Foursquare. I feel like you can’t underestimate people’s narcissism. If I am doing cool stuff all the time it would be great for people to be able to recognize it and make me, or someone cool (sticking with the Foursquare reference) "mayor" of awesome stuff to do. You could also look at the whole coupon based concept once you go mobile. Something like: "Awesomeness going on at location x come within the next hour and get ½ off amazingness!" I will keep an eye out for an app.

I find my skill as a programmer has substantially diminished the more I've had to spend energy and focus being an entrepreneur. I believe there's a myth that the hacker can do it all and do it all well. In reality I think you end up being stretched like... butter scraped over too much bread. :)

It may be a cop-out but now I'm looking for "top people" to hire, but what I usually mean is someone who can have the programming focus I don't have anymore. I'm looking for "me 6 years ago" the hacker who loves products and wants to build a business who's at the beginning of the entrepreneur track. Damn damn hard to find.
Reed Hastings has on several occassions said it is about a nickel per movie.

“It costs us about a dollar, round-trip, to send DVDs by mail. It costs us less than a nickel to deliver by streaming.” Netflix now spends $600 million a year on the postal service [note to Jim Cramer: short USPS now!] and lots of hourly labor checking DVD quality.

Heres the rule that defines how much time the pitcher has to throw the pitch.

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/pitcher_...

8.04
When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call “Ball.” The 12-second timing starts when the pitcher is in possession of the ball and the batter is in the box, alert to the pitcher. The timing stops when the pitcher releases the ball.
The intent of this rule is to avoid unnecessary delays. The umpire shall insist that the catcher return the ball promptly to the pitcher, and that the pitcher take his position on the rubber promptly. Obvious delay by the pitcher should instantly be penalized by the umpire.

When I was applying to Coinbase, the interviews were heavily biased against people using low level data structures to write efficient code.

On my first interview I used C++, and it was very hard to pass their expectiations (the interviewer didn't know C++, so he couldn't appreciate the effort of me using a low level language).

I switched to Ruby for the next rounds, and got through easily.

Then I went to their beautiful office, I loved the people and the culture there, but didn't code fast enough to join the startup (which I'm happy about...startup mindset is not for me).
