That's a good line to take away from it. I read through the article and was struggling to reconcile the premise laid down by the article with the occasional nod to the straight white man pulling all the strings.

I'm not sure how that connects to minority communities having varying levels of oppression within themselves, as there are between the many different groups that comprise LGBT and the politics within it. Or with the diverse groups of racial minorities.

That said, the point is made well and it's a problem in itself if you take an 'all people in X must be the same' mindset, and go as far as ostracising 'traitors' for not being aligned. Insular communities like that will grow to be toxic in themselves.
OpenGrok, while an older tool, is web based and a very nice way to explore large codebases; and it is multi language as well [2]

The "holistic application" is not what activists wanted. I agree that these fuzzy factors cause all sorts of trouble. What the activists wanted was randomness beyond some cutoff where students would be likely to succeed at TJ. This eliminates the need to "distinguish themselves" among everybody with increasingly ridiculous prep processes.

I remember doing this crap. Weekend test prep. Signing up for science magazines just so you could stick it on your resume for why you loved science. My parents were informed in preschool of decisions they should make to make magnet schools a feasible outcome. And this was decades ago. It is much worse today.

My family has some personal experience with this as we were pretty deeply involved in local activism to change the way that letters of recommendation were used to send people to GT programs (many decades ago) after it became clear that the letters were introducing all sorts of bias.

Yet Asra has personally called several of my old friends racists for seeking the lottery option. We must just hate south and east asian people. We must be brainwashed by leftist colleges (despite graduating a decade or longer ago).

The problems with TJ also extend beyond admissions. 8th period is dead. History education at the school was always awful and tied to the AP curriculum but it has further slipped against STEM. Colleges seem to be taking note, with admissions to what were previously backup schools like UVA now becoming much more difficult for TJ grads.
It is kind of a fun game to go to any arbitrary comments on here and Ctl-F 'china' and more often than not there is some digression about it, sometimes in the most farfetched ways.
The icons of the 60s counter-culture were big music stars (backed by the record labels), "American dream" style cigarette and motorcycle advertising (backed by the respective industries) and a particular brand of Hollywood movie (backed by Hollywood). It was every bit as much co-opted by the establishment as the current countercultures are, these days the old boys record company execs have been replaced by venture capitalists but otherwise not much has changed.
This is also one of many reasons why people love Lua.

Zoom for Government
My understanding is that more extreme measures like this aren’t possible because the city has been left to deal with it, and all they have are towing trucks and towing contractors. The federal government would have to step in to make tanks or other heavy equipment available.

But at the point a commercial of licensed vehicle is illegally blocking downtown traffic for days, if they want to make it hard to remove there is no reason to gently remove the truck. Hell they can get a few acetylene torches and just start cutting.
So I know nothing about haproxy, but what sort of system load does it generate?

They say they ran it on a EC2 micro instance, and the micro instances are specifically designed to handle spikes, not continuous heavy load. In fact, they intentionally throttle under continuous heavy load.

I guess it must have been the right choice for them, I was just surprised to see it was a micro. Would that typically be the right way to go?
It's risk mitigation... this is one way you can deal with unpredictably large spikes in traffic.... for the NYT - elections probably represent their extreme.

For the regular ebb and flow of data, you can plan, and use varnish/rails/nginx/ all the magic tools you want, and things will work great - but you also have added complexity, and when something goes wrong, the more complex the system, the longer it generally takes to fix. Especially under unexpected heavy load.

Simplifying the system down to flat files and de-coupling the ROR stuff gives you a clear troubleshooting point - if something goes berzerk, you can cut the link between the two and troubleshoot in relative safety before turning replication back on.

I'm rambling - the main point is to reduce the complexity involved in the end-user transaction to be as efficient and fast as possible so you can deal with an unknown load factor coming in on a really important day. Going down that day would be BAD for business.
I've been perfectly happy in my little corner of the developer landscape (mostly Rails, plus random experiments) with Homebrew.

I've had friends of mine complain loudly after ~5 minutes when they find missing "essential" packages, though.
This presumes people who don't have kids save the money instead, which quite frankly isn't at all true. People who don't have kids in large part just never learn to tighten their budget the way parents do, they live a higher cost of living lifestyle; in short, they act like single people. Now you could say "oh but I'd live broke like parents do and save the money" but frankly I wouldn't believe anyone who said that for a second.

In fact, I'd bring up the opportunity cost of maturity that having children brings you that you'd otherwise be missing out on by not having them. Maturity that quite frankly, probably saves you more money than you'd lose by having the child.
Yikes, teach me to post when I'm in a hurry! I misunderstood. Thanks for clearing it up.

I wouldn't support an outright policy of flagging Techcrunch as a website, but I do think its a good idea for us to be more diligent about flagging any doomsaying blog/news posts that are not substantiative.
Yep, this is common practice.

I do a lot of pen testing, and one of the easiest ways to get access to important things is figure out a way to go into the IT department under some premise. Passwords galore, the rest is just memory :)

It's not bad, but hardly hardcore sci-fi.
If we could get a graphene CPU clocked at 10 GHz in the next few years I would already consider it a success.
Question for you - how much more productive were you on your 80th hour than on your zero-th? I ask because I typically work 50 hour weeks. I've pushed to 80 when projects are wrapping up but I find that the extra hours are mostly only useful for rote work like writing/running tests, fixing simple bugs, and not for creative work. In fact most of the most difficult problems I solved in my off hours rather than at my desk. So I've always wondered what the net benefit is of working crazy hours like that in the long term, especially when there's always the option of hiring two employees and paying them 1/2 of the salary (I know I prefer x for 40/wk rather than 2x for 80/wk, the marginal cost of that 80th hour is huge!)
"The net result is that the effect of propagation delay is almost exactly cancelled, and general relativity very nearly reproduces the newtonian result."
I "Google" less and less for search results, as they become increasingly crap. They are mostly best for "big name" items; also, the prominence of StackOverflow means that some computer technology queries still work pretty well.

These days, I'm fortunate when I know specifically enough what I want that I can jump straight into Wikipedia and hopefully find an adequate page.

Whatever you are and aren't doing about it, Google, whenever I search for something detailed that's not in StackOverflow, your results are increasingly crap, once again. Pages and pages full of very spammy results.

Some time ago -- perhaps a few years ago or a bit more -- I became accustomed to fairly quickly paging several pages into the search results, where the heaviest, highly ranked spam would start to filter out and I could start to recognize more legitimate sources of information. These days... the spam results just go on and one. If there's quality somewhere in the search results, it's beyond the limit of my patience to continue paging forward and scanning.

Not that I'm using Yahoo, in preference. That part... all I can think of is measuring by byte counts, and buttloads of banner ads. Probably not the right explanation, but...

--

P.S. Your (Google, again) elimination of the + operator in your search queries was, again anecdotally, another factor in the declining performance of your searches for me. Being able to tell the query engine that I definitely don't want to see results that don't include term x frequently proved quite useful. Now... the damned thing shows me "whatever it feels like", whether I quote terms, beg,.... any other suggestions?
Just to clarify: I don't work on side-projects when I'm in the office, "at work" or using their equipment. Only at home and on my own equipment.

My contract also states that they understand people do other activities and the company doesn't want to own them unless they are a competing activity. And frankly, even if they did want one of my projects they wouldn't do anything with it and I can move on pretty quickly.
The big thing with the multinationals is that they're able to pull stunts like corporate inversions & royalty payments to their foreign entity to reduce their profit under the (more heavily taxed) US entity.

Then you have measures intended to rein them in like GILTI & Transition Tax, which end up mostly affecting smaller businesses.
I guess that’s very dependent of what kind of framework you’re using. The only PostgreSQL-driver I’ve seen that does not have connection pooling built-in is the PHP one (since PHP’s runtime model does not work in a way where that would be easily possible).
Identity theft most likely, and the consequences arising from that.
In Sweden the general rule of thumb is that as a freelancer you should charge 2.4x what you want to (or normally) net since you are responsible for your own vacation-pay, sick-pay, time between projects etc. on top of taxes and expenses.
Besides the fact that the math doesn’t get you back to even (1.2*0.8 != 1), is your suggestion just doing this for for the subset of 1%ers or also similarly for every group that legally avoids taxes? What about those in the groups that don’t use the same loopholes? Arent they punished under this scheme?
> "This idea of limited innovation resulting in cumulative costs is overly simplistic. The smart founder will recognize the difference between innovations that will yield net returns and those that won't."

I agree with you completely. Furthermore, I'd add that the view on maintenance is too simplistic also. Effective maintenance requires more than just a tech stack where the limitations are known, you'll also want something testable and refactorable. Ballooning code bases are a real problem, sometimes the smart move is to clean up the cruft. If you're smart about integrating new tech into your stack there's no reason you can end up with a solution which is both more robust and efficient.

Furthermore, there's the whole scaling issue. Perhaps the mode du jour is just to assume increased server costs (regardless of where they're hosted) are just a necessary part of scaling a website to more users, but rethinking your tech stack can help keep these costs under control. Perhaps this is a decision that can wait until you have a decent userbase, but it's still a good reason to be open-minded about what benefits a new solution could bring.
Tesla's catch fire as well - [pdf warning] https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/2016_Mod...

Battery fires are worse than gasoline fires from what I've read:
(2016) - https://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-batteries-violently-explo...
(2017) - https://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-torched-in-weird-supercha...
Conceivably, the fire could be another car burning. If you have two disabled cars next to each other after a collision and one of them is on fire, people in the car next to it could be cooked if they don't get out.

There are many valid reasons first responders might have to remove people from cars quickly.
That’s what this guy thought, too, just a few weeks ago. The URL tells the tale: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/10/23/man-died-...

Teslas burn just fine, in fact much more unpredictably than ICE cars.

The vast majority of SUVs and trucks are bought to signal some sort of status or affiliation to a group. Just look at how clean these vehicles are. And some of the brands. Porsche SUV. Mercedes pickup.

The people who actual use these class of vehicles for real have mud splashed over the vehicle and extra cans of petrol. They aren’t going to buy an unproven vehicle that you can’t refuel.

They’ll probably make a killing with the Cybertruck.
Looking at pictures on their site I keep having to remind myself that it's an actual physical thing because it looks so much like render.
The general stance that "you broke the law, now you're a criminal" may be technically correct, but most people issuing such statements group "criminals" into a singular group and feel that the serial murderer and the child rapist are no different than the guy that forgot he had an orange in his car when crossing the border. "You've broken the rules of society, you are no better than a vagabond!"

In light of this, how can one not lose faith in the law when so many laws that punish people for stupid things are on the books just because a bunch of religious people want to force everyone to "follow their religion" to a minor extent or how the system is setup in a way that encourages government prosecutors to view the people in the cases that are put on their desk as little more than pawns in a game to "make a name" for themselves?

[There's also the fact that judges/lawyers try to hide the idea of jury nullification from juries too...]
That would answer my question about the availability of loans: there is too much money available. Sounds like Sweden is going to join the rest of us in the Twenty-first Century soon.
Which of Trusteer's product lines tapped a market opportunity that wasn't already addressed by RSA or Symantec in 2003? If the answer is "most of their revenue came from products that refined value propositions that RSA and Symantec already had products for", then what does Trusteer have to do with Weiss' investment thesis?

You don't need to go to space. Gold can be created from other elements. It's just a question of tweaking atoms after all.
There are ultra-slim foldable RJ-45 connectors[1], which manufacturers could use if they could be bothered but they don't, because they would rather save the BOM cost of it and advertise the WiFi capabilities instead.

Only Fujitsu use them AFAIK.

If the value prop is that it's nice to move the port adapter dongle into the chassis rather than having one dangle from a port, so it's an ergonomic improvement you're sold on, sure. I'm not saying that can't have a market.

But if you can only buy the dongle from one vendor, it's going to be more expensive than if there's a market where multiple vendors compete. It's that "you can only buy the adapter from Apple, and it's really expensive" thing, just moved into the chassis.

Hence the question which one of those we're looking at here, and it was kindly answered by a rep above.

How does including "gender, birthday, interests, education, relationship status, etc. G knows the zip code of every person that buys a Groupon, open rates on emails sent, deals viewed, purchase history, etc." not make it more customized?

The Deal of the Day and "Nearby Deals" are customized based on all those things I mentioned. Merchants don't get to specify because we make it simple for them and have access to a whole lot more data and resources to determine who should see their deal. It is however limited by the merchant pipeline. In Chicago, the oldest and most mature Groupon market, I always see restaurants, entertainment, or sports things, never spas or salons.

Which city are you in? If it's smaller or newer to Groupon there's likely much less variety.
It would be in the consumer's interest if there was DRM in HTML5. They would get content on more platforms more quickly.

Languages that implement efficient coroutines (e.g. Scheme, Lua) usually manage the C stack themselves (like "Stackless" Python). First-class coroutines are very similar to first-class continuations, and many of the same fundamental issues manifest.

Lua has one of the best coroutine implementations I've seen. Scheme has continuations which are convertible to coroutines, while Lua has coroutines which are convertible to (one-shot) continuations, with community insight on their use.

I'm curious - are you a native English speaker?

I am picky about language and grammar to the point of obsession, yet I would not think twice about using a contraction in my domain name (if it felt better) nor would I be concerned about omitting an apostrophe. I don't think you should either :)
I completely agree with the sentiment expressed in this post. Too many kids in my school (top-10 undergrad or whatever that means) ended up in banking, consulting, and law school because that was what seemed "prestigious".

However, don't dismiss the fact that there aren't people passionate about finance. I am personally involved in this industry and I hustled since I was in high school to work in the industry. I spent 2 straight years of high school working part-time and full-time summers at trading firms and realized this is exactly what I want to do.

What we need is shut down this "prestige whoredom" prevalent across all elite colleges in America and have graduates try different careers to figure out what in the world they want to do with their lives. Sadly, a lot of the current generation of college degree holders will slave away their lives doing things they don't like doing - not that its different from any previous generation to be honest.
I really doubt the difference between a 1700 lb (1980 honda civic) and a 5600 lb (2020 escalade) vehicle matters that much in a collision with a pedestrian. from a conservation of momentum standpoint, the 1700 lb car already weighs so much more than a person that the additional weight from a modern SUV has little effect. either way, the vehicle plows straight through with minimal loss of velocity. the bigger issue with SUVs is the clearance; a pedestrian is much more likely to be run over by and SUV, rather than thrown over the hood of a small car.
Exactly that. There needs to be a mandated federation protocol for instant messenger apps that have lets say > 10 million user in the EU.
I use Signal to audio call friends and family in Belarus, since it wasn't blocked this past summer, while Telegram was.

But the M1 ALSO can't support an eGPU, which is kind of the problem. I'm more than happy to pay for an eGPU dock (have one sitting in the corner from when my main workstation was a macbook). I know not everyone wants to HAVE to pay for an eGPU, but that's a better solution than "You can't have two monitors".

My solution was to dump Apple laptops entirely (which I know a lot of people won't want to do). This Asus G14 has no issues powering 2x 4K displays without even breathing hard. No throttling in games or videos, and it supports 40GB of memory on top of a replaceable NVMe SSD.
"I'm totally not wondering why no one will rid me of that meddlesome priest. That would be wrong! Please do not rid me of that meddlesome priest. Although, I have to say, he is quite meddlesome, and I completely understand why it's strange that nobody has rid me of his meddling. I love you!"

Aww geez, I had no intention for my remarks to be disparaging; quite the opposite.

I completely agree that, given your constraints, the better use of money was to interview more people. What I meant was that it's a shame you had to choose. I believe your efforts deserve more recognition, and more funding so you don't have to make compromises between interviewing more people or having more crew. You should have both. That's what I intended my remark to convey. By no means did I mean "This film is crappy, but I love it anyway." I meant "This film is wonderful. I wish the creator was better enabled so there were Blu-rays of this stuff, with crisp, clean HD video." Stuff like that.

> Choose your words carefully, please.

I truly did. I usually spend an inordinate amount of time writing emails/comments, trying to choose words that are clear and concise. Its a byproduct of my social anxiety (it stems from an ever-present fear that what I'm doing/saying will be misinterpreted). In fact, I'm probably going to miss breakfast because I've spent the past 45 minutes trying to write this comment and clear up the confusion... But, yeah, sometimes people have different meanings for different words. It isn't a reflection of whether they took the time to choose the words. Its a reflection of different cultures, and how they apply different means to words. I'm not a film maker, so I guess production value means something different between us. I'm sorry my comments did not communicate effectively. I truly respect you, and your work. Please keep making documentaries and doing what you do! There needs to be more of it!

"there was a 67% decline in serious traumatic brain injury (TBI) comparing data for the years nearest the helmet law (1988–1991 vs. 1996–1999)."

"Tin Tin et al6 list several reasons apart from the helmet law for declines in cycling rates and increases in cycling injuries. These include the lack of cycling focus in the New Zealand road safety agenda, an increase in children being driven to school due to parental concerns of safety and an already existing pre-law decline in cycling rates."

At least during Nazi Germany there was some interest in helping Jews escape. Yes, instances when ships of Jewish refugees were turned away from e.g. the USA have gone down in infamy, but there were still things like the Kindertransport. When it comes to the plight of the Uighurs, even fellow Muslim countries are loathe to provide any big public help due to the fear of alienating China.
