I realized that a lot of accounts are tied to peoples' real names (and professional lives). So there's a filter that keeps people from discussing anything outside of politically-correct, nice-guy stereotypical talking points

The tied-to-real-name affect has advantages. It prevents the "Greater Internet Fuckwad Effect" (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/): "Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total Fuckwad"
most people underestimate just how big africa and those numbers are.

no offense, but this looks exactly like any other mega development projects put on by white people - see for the road the world food programme has been building from the sea to central congo.

super ideas on paper, complete madness on site. most of that money will evaporate, most of the countries along the line are mere shapes on a map, drawn by white people, but reflecting any functioning structures.

when the europeans abandoned the colonies they failed to do one, crucial thing - they should have taken everything they brought to africa back with them. borders, names, government structures and yes, most "modern" infrastructure (railway, paved roads, water lines). all that crap left behind now gives western whites the illusion of a transaction between peers when they pour money into africa.

this is slowly happening now anyhow, tribal warfare is turning time backwards. from eritrea to sudan, to congo, to nigeria, etc etc etc. tribes that never belonged within one set of borders, drawn up by the english, french, belgians, germans, portuguese.

it would be actually much better if the west stopped pouring money into a region were most of it will end up fueling war. more people have died in the so called african world war than in all other conflicts since ww2 - combined. despite white people's guilt projects.
Can someone ELI5 why any business would want less money just because some of their customers are gay?

Even if you're against homosexuality, as long as you're not participating in a sexual activity with a member of the same sex, it shouldn't make a difference.

Even the homophobes I grew up with understand this point.

It just seems like a lot of people in Indiana have very poor business sense.

They seem to think there is, although Portal sales would disagree with that.

Supposedly the Portal is actually nice hardware wise, but the Facebook association was just toxic for them.

This is the kind of market where UI/UX is the single most important thing in the app. I personally began using MSN messenger 10 years ago , and moved to skype because I felt skype was easier to use, had a better UI . It was simply beautiful compared to MSN messenger. On the other hand, the skype client on my android is just shitty as hell, it might have changed since but I understand why skype doesn't dominate the mobile space.

I tried a lot of "raw" XMPP clients, most of them felt like the developer was in charge of the UI/UX. It felt like shit.

If an open standard wants to win, it has to have a very good client,with a perfect UX/UI.

I understand it's a bit difficult for designers that aren't developers to contribute to opensource code projects. I'm thinking very hard about how such a tool could be set up,and how can the design workflow and the coding workflow could be joined seamlessly. I'll come up with something eventually.
The trouble is, most ad serving systems already work out the context/theme of pages and target ads appropriately but even then its not perfect.

E.g. you are an airline and you want to advertise your flights. You might want to have your ad appear on pages that have contexts of "travel, flying, vacations" etc since you believe that those pages are likely good pages to reach people interested in your services. Sounds reasonable. An advertiser would obviously NOT want to appear advertising their cheap flights to Tenerife next to this sort of terrible, tragic news.

As others have mentioned its perceived as bad for the brand be be seen next to bad news, but more importantly (and more likely IMHO) people are human and understand the gravity of the situation so apply common sense and tact.

So it gets into a silly situation where you have advertisers targeting contexts "travel, flying, vacations AND NOT disaster, crash" - whilst you are there you may as well start excluding some other negative things too, like "thailand, children, ladyboy" etc etc until you have these huge lists of tens of thousands of exclusions getting into the ridiculous depths of human depravity, whilst you just want to show on "good" pages about just 3 simple contexts: travel, flights or vacations.

And even then ads sometimes still slip through and appear on "bad" pages because someone forgot to put "erotic trepanation" or whatever in the exclusion list.

If you consider the context of my statement, and not my statement as it stands in isolation, then you are mistaken.
My all time favorite from Paul Krugman:

"The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in "Metcalfe's law"--which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants--becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's."
I haven't used Facebook in over a decade and I still manage to have meaningful friendships.

I'm even able to share things with those friends, believe it or not.
The scale was around $70mil at 2016.
Vyvanse is an abuse resistant form of dextroamphetamine basically. Generic dextroamphetamine is an alternative if it's legal in your country. Adderall is a combination of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine.
Not very informative.

Both gas & electric markets did payout MASSIVELY to those who had resources because the pricing absolutely exploded by well over 10,000%. The Brazos Electric Co-Op went to bankruptcy court (ongoing) because they ran up a multi-billion dollar bill over the course of the week because they didn't want their fucking customers to freeze to fucking death.

If there's such a thing as financial rape, this was it. And yes Texans blamed ERCOT because blaming the right-wing politicians whom they answer to (via the Public Utility Commission) does not digest easily, and it turned out wind & solar couldn't be blamed either even if you could somehow make that Obama's fault.

It's the kind of massive shit show you get when politics is no longer competitive, much like California. Still better than CA, I guess, for the moment...

Wait no I'm not finished. Imagine there's a big hurricane, you gotta get out of town, low on gas, and you pull up to the gas station and the price is... $900.00/gallon. That's how much the price of electricity went up. That is GOUGING. That gas station owner would go to straight to jail if customers didn't murder him outright first. But because this wasn't retail, it was perfectly okay, even though millions of Texans are now paying for it, for years to come. What a crock of fucking shit.

Wait, wait, no I'm STILL not finished. Texas politicians made sure they walled off their own energy grid so that they wouldn't have "interstate commerce" and thus prevent federal oversight, which would not have allowed such extraordinarily low reserves in the first place. This is STRICTLY the fault of those politicians, and they answer for shit, because that's life in a one-party state, be it communist, fascist, democrat, or republican. Again: A crock of fucking shit. Fucking hell.
This is how I understand it.

The hierarchy is disk < vdev < zpool.

Disk is physical.

vdev is logical. Purpose: Disk grouping and redundancy. Composition: One or more disks.

zpool is logical. Purpose: Higher-level management of one or more vdevs. Composition: It acts like a JBOD.

---

zpools can be thought of as "stripes of vdevs". This, in the narrow sense that the failure of any vdev in a zpool is a permanent loss of the entire zpool. All your redundancy in the ZFS ecosystem is via mirrored or RAID'ed vdevs.

---

The setup I have heard of that balances performance, redundancy and space is to do what you say: Have a zpool of multiple mirror-type vdevs.

You can also stripe at the vdev level, which I would assume has higher performance than having multiple single-disk vdevs in a pool - I'm unaware of the differences at a low level.
Yes, old data keeps the old data:parity ratio unless you do something like cp or zfs send|recv it and destroy the old copy.
Crazy, I remember meeting him before our interview.
> FWIW, "The State" has long labeled anti-tyranny dissenters with labels like that.

...and for just as long, plutocracy's "laissez faire" foot soldiers have been accusing everyone else of Stockholm Syndrome. That's kind of my point. We should be able to have a debate without the name calling, whether it's done blatantly enough for the moderators to act or not-so-subtly disguised with the "anyone who..." ruse.
My doctor said I don't need the shot. Is that medical dissent?
This is part of it. Prior to the great 'give everyone a mortgage' mess, a lot of people ended up buying their own home. In the Bay Area it was popular to convert stock options into property because you could live on your property but not on the stock certificates.

That said, it is much more common to exclude the net asset value of your primary residence in a 'net wealth' computation as it isn't nearly as useful to compare 'rich homeless people' as it is to compare people who are wealthy beyond simple home ownership.

It would be interesting to see the map where primary residences were excluded. (and the numbers, which is to say how much wealth outside of your home you need to qualify as the "rich".) And once you've done that, consider excluding $250K * kids as 'college money'[1]. Then you start to realize that "rich" means different things to different people.

[1] That assumes a lot of course, but still median 4 year tuition * kids might be useful too.
They are out there, and they aren't necessarily related to crypto [1] [2]

Seriously though, blockchain is an interesting technology. It's a shame it has got such a bad rap because of its ties to cryptocurrency.

>Why have I failed after so much effort? The simple answer is that, as my wife says, I’m too far ahead of my time. Perhaps I’m a misunderstood genius.

What a cope - damn your ego.

I don't want to believe that a man of his age is so self-aggrandizing, so lacking in humility. "Oh, it's nothing wrong with me - it's them! I'm actually a messiah!" Complete and utter anti-wisdom.
Sure. Icome tax is paid by the employer, it varies from around 25% to more than 30% depending on place and personal conditions. Public healthcare is fine, and I also pay for a private insurance. Bureacracy is so-so, and reportedly got worse with covid, though my employer helped me with the adaptation, so everything went smooth (spent 1 month in total to settle everything for everybody). Also, all family members are granted visas with the right to work, at least when you hold a "highly qualified professional" type of visa yourself.

I understand that this is not very informative, but I'm still new here, and most of this stuff is similar in most places in EU.

Realistically, the only things to worry about are money and the lack of jobs. The latter will hopefully be solved by remote becoming the norm in IT, and the former depends heavily on personal conditions. E.g. if my wife worked, it would be much easier for us. If I had a different attitude towards saving and investing in the past, it would be much easier for us. And so on and so forth.

There are quite a few rich people here, and their lifestyle is awesome. Weather is good throughout the year (20-22C and clear skies with bright sun now, and February is the coldest and harshest month here), sea and mountains provide lots of opportunities for leisure and sports, birds and flowers and scents everywhere... Weirdly, I feel like I'm back in my childhood, when everything was so bright and fascinating. Completely forgot how it feels after having been deprived of all of these things due to living in a big industrial city.
Food is highly regulated by the government. All those farm subsidies paid for by taxpayer money are essentially a form of socialism for farmers.
Avoiding 1,1,1, in a code like this

for x1 in range(1, 10):
for x2 in range(1, 10):
if x2 in [x1]:
continue
for x3 in range(1, 10):
if x3 in [x1, x2]:
continue

looks like backtracking to me. Specifically, the "continue" statement is that "jump back" that prunes invalid search sub-tree. Though, the constrains are expressed as predicates here.

But even in a code where constrains are built into the loop, it also can be called backtracking, since we have our target predicate "is_valid(square)". The search tree is trivial in this case, though. It's just a root and leaves.

In other words, I didn't quite understand the distinction that you were talking about.
The above is ~1/100,000. IFR (which is compatible with what I said) for 19 and younger is 3/100,000, but that includes younger people that are even less impacted.

So it is sort of the same ballpark for the very youngest adults, but a factor of 3 isn't nothing. It's higher for people in their 20s already. We can be talking about different things though, as it isn't 100% likely a given person will be infected.
Second recommend. Fun read.
I hope you're right

That's what I'm looking for - increasing salary 4 times for similar stuff while having living costs of 400-500 USD / month
He means a Dyson swarm and we are not centuries away from achieving this. The economical sense is on a different paper. Having ASIC miners in space connecting to something like Starlink is entirely possible even though not cost effective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere#Dyson_swarm
Nice sound immersion
It's not all about costs. In music there are many people who love to write and record songs for fun. This devalues music regardless of costs. In fact I think most music in itself is practically worthless. It's the face and name of musicians which are worth money, usually because of successful marketing.

For books it's a little different. Few people write long stories for fun and it's much harder to write a good book then it is to make a good song. Thus, there are not that many good books around and their value is higher. In this case, I would say copying is bad.

However, my own opinion is that the world just has to adapt to it's own developments. Copying is easy? Writers get less money for their books? Then writers will have to change their profession. Sometimes markets shrink or disappear.
Interesting piece of information. I'm one of the people that values the chat history. Mostly as there are often occasions where I would look up something like a product or a website someone sent me. Also for nostalgia.

It would be perfectly fine if exporting/importing chat history would be a manual process via encrypted files and if it was disable by default. But not having it at all is an issue for me.

That said: It isn't exactly easy with other messengers. WhatsApp does have some backup/restore. But afaik it is limited to the platform you are using (Android or iPhone). The export is limited and cannot be imported again. Telegram has all the messages on their servers... which... ah well, let's just leave it at that.

Makes me think that I need some private third party database that just ingests and consolidates all my chat data for me. With something like that it might be okay just having a few days worth of chat history on the phone.
Let's hope the drive is encrypted and that it has a half decent boot password on it.
Stay tuned. Something’s cooking.

My grandma was born in 1936 in the city of Poznan as ethnically german child with a polish passport. Her family owned a shop and house the shop was in. Then, the nazis occupied poland, and the family prospered shortly. But the father, who had been a polish soldier before, had to enlist in the german forces and fell on the eastern front. Then the SU conquered the entire area and my grandmas familty lost every thing they could not carry: the house, the shop, the grandparents house with farm land, etc. More people lost their lives, greatgrandma was most likely raped, etc. Grandma missed a year of shool and ended up 5-10 centimeters shorter than the relatives.

Now, 70 years later, does she hate the polish, or the russians, for what happened? Of course not.
And what's the term for adding redundant adjective suffix to an adjective ? :)
What you are describing is a healthy client relationship. The pricing model has certain affordances, but fixed price doesn't make everything better.

As I have aged, I am less likely to do fixed price work unless it has a lot more headroom.

That's not the structure of most plea bargains ("2 years vs. life") but more importantly, you don't have enough information in that hypothetical to determine how fair the system is, because you're not accounting for how liberally federal prosecutors bring cases. If they tend only to bring cases when they have overwhelming evidence --- which is the rap on federal prosecutors (not so much state) --- then you get the same outcome simply by dint of most people in plea negotiations being guilty. A good reason not to take a case to trial is your knowledge that you'll be destroyed at trial.
Thank you for this.

Photographing screens is pretty meaningless. If you look at the palm holding the phone in the original post, it is much better visible on the 4 picture than on 3GS, with papillary lines and everything. How can someone claim these pictures allow you to compare the quality of displays is beyond me.
Z3 has a core engine optimised to solve certain types of problems. To use Z3 for higher-level problems, such as program verification, you first translate your higher-level problems into problems that Z3 understands. Z3 might not be suitable for all problems, but it is meant to be highly optimised for the problems that it can handle.

Where do you live? I'm in SoCal and it's hard to find a used bike that I can buy, fix, and sell for any profit. I love working on bikes to, I've been parting out my old dirt bike that the motor blew on and it was more profitable to part it out then it was to fix it and sell it as a running bike.

Not everyone has a Gmail account, so if your app is of any consequence, you won't use Google auth on GAE. You'll roll your own.

GAE won't let you upload and run modules that are C-based, so bcrypt is out of the question.

Indeed, flipping through that printed code took me back to the days of typing lines of BASIC from a library book on programming into an Atari 400 chiclet keyboard, only to have the program error out and I'd have to scroll up until I found my typing mistake. Two hours of painstaking typing to get an animated sprite. Ahh, memories :)
Huh? I was just pointing out that the distance between building a binary from a mess of source files and building a web app from - er - a mess of source files is not that huge.

And the trend is for it to get less huge.

E.g. Bootstrap already uses the words "custom build" for a rebuild, and js-world has gulp and grunt for "building".

There's already been serious talk about either throwing out the DOM or abstracting it with something closer to a native code model.

Honestly, I'll be surprised if this doesn't happen within the next few years.
