The main advantage of a train is that it can go over land, and that the cars can be "humped" without an unload/load cycle which allows a single train from LA serve multiple midwest destinations (by splitting at a common junction).

But where boats and barges can operate, they usually win.

>Although were there really no cultures in that era that allowed same sex marriage?

No Christian cultures, obviously.
I suspect there's a bit of nuance there which hasn't been identified here yet. Perhaps to do with whether people are background or immediately identifiable, or and active part of of what's going on. I know consent forms are a part of television recording when talking to people on the street (otherwise they blur faces), but I don't think they bother to get everyone in the background to sign.
Ideally there shouldn't be any dropped cases. But of course that requires adequate funding. You know, maybe depending money on expanding the number of courts/judges instead of marble floors and hardwood paneling.

And we need to do away with most law enforcement discretion (this includes DAs). Enforcement is extremely uneven. If the law using going to be enforced in many situations, then why enforce it at all?

This brings up another point. Is this a justice system? How can it be when the cost to defend one's self in court (with or without a lawyer) is more expensive than the fine. You can be punished more defending yourself as an innocent person than as a guilty one who pleads guilty.
Yeah, German TV in general is just pathetically bad, however the documentaries produced by NDR ("die nordreportage") and some others of the "Dritte"/"Spartensender" [0] are really quite good most of the time.
Interesting topics, rarely any fluff or artificial tension, almost no overly dramatic music just for the sake of it, just all around well produced programmes.
An interesting programme from one of the "Dritte" called WDR was e.g. "Feuer & Flamme".

On the topic of "Krimis" (crime drama type shows) however I have to agree with the other commenters that it's just formulaic trash.
"Tatort" for example is by many regarded as a good or even excellent show, from when I tried watching it a few times over the years, it was often just the "moral education packaged in flat drama" with a very see-through "current issues" topic selection. Just pathetic.

Don't get me wrong, I also rewatched some less recent American crime dramas like NCIS etc. and especially in one episode of NCIS LA (really lame spin-off IMO) it was very much "How dare you be a hacker and government whistleblower, don't you know how that hurts Our Troops(tm)?" with the black bald guy saying that to and then assaulting that suspect. YAY, moral panic!

[0]: for foreigners, these are the state-run/-sponsored TV channels for different large parts of Germany, like NDR for the northern part etc. Basically smaller regional parts of the ARD/ZDF.
Is it still P2P when (in the future) Clubhouse decides to start taking its own cut?
Repeatedly != all the time.

You can repeatedly use software (I.e. daily, monthly, yearly) for short periods of time or for specific tasks. That doesn't mean you'll be using it all the time though.

I think most users fall into this category rather than people who use it "all the time". A lot of the time people just use software to get the job done and aren't engrossed in using it.

If I can improve my efficiency/revenue/whatever metric more by leveraging something other than this software, why would I waste my time learning how to use the software better?
Based on my experience working at large companies this is largely not true. Large companies will generally have a dedicated legal team with a relatively high amount of organizational influence, and this is such a massive and obvious potential liability they will make sure that nobody is using software without paying for it.

I'm sure there are some exceptions, and those exceptions will likely no longer be exceptions after someone manages to figure out they're using their software illegally.
Seems like no conclusion can be drawn?

> We show that the inter-arrival times among major conflicts are extremely long, and consistent with a homogenous Poisson process: therefore no specific trend can be established: we as humans can not be deemed as less belligerent than usual. For a conflict generating at least 10 million casualties, an event less bloody than WW1 or WW2, the waiting time is on average 136 years, with a mean absolute deviation of 267 (or 52 years and 61 deviations for data rescaled to today’s population). The seventy years of what is called the "Long Peace" are clearly not enough to state much about the possibility of WW3 in the near future.
The other advantage? It's generally faster /easier for someone to type something like "bolt vat frisky fob land hazy rigid" than "d07;oj7MgLz`%v,". At least it is for me.
The salt helps to defeat anyone who has pre-computed bcrypt tables for large numbers of passwords. It forces the attacker to have to compute all the hashes themselves, even for a single user.

>regularly see posts downvoted in to oblivion for failing to compartmentalize opinions about Bill Gates, Microsoft CEO and Bill Gates, Philanthropist.

This is probably true, but I can't recall seeing it in many threads I read. On the other hand, I've seen comments (albeit, downvoted), on these very forums, calling for Mr. Gates' death. I'm serious. That's unbelievable in what is otherwise a highly intelligent tech community.

My post probably comes off as "Who cares?", and that was not my intention. This is amazing of Mr. Cook. But let's not attach it to "Apple is so great!"
There are some thoughts on the matter here: http://chargen.matasano.com/chargen/2015/3/26/enough-with-th....

But I would say yes, bcrypt is still best practice. Other commenters are right that bad passwords will still be recoverable, but using one of bcrypt/scrypt/PBKDF2 is due diligence. I would use whichever one is most easily available on your platform.

Microdroplets, aerosol flows. This isn't a matter of stopping large droplets, where masks are more effective provided they don't nebulize. See also

for surprising null or even slightly negative result of surgeons masking vs. surgery patient wound infections.

Assuming linear scaling or other naive-model benefits from masks runs into large-scale gen-pop experience, which has now been studied by enough RCTs to cast doubt on the assumption. Long-term WHO and CDC policy guidance was based on empirical science showing non-pharmaceutical interventions are not very effective against respiratory viruses.
I imagine the scale of the problem is much bigger.
Are there any lightweight but production-ready PaaS offerings out there?

De-risking all of these questions is currently one of our top priorities. We have an understanding of a handful of materials that are compatible with our system right now, and we are working to expand that list - and, just as valuably, remove items from that list.

Our chemist is leading these efforts, and she's got a ton of experience from getting her PhD/postdoc work at Yale's Center for Green Chemistry that is helping us properly vet these items out.
Have you taken a look at FSharpPlus [0] ? It attempts at... "reproducing" higher-kinded polymorphism by means of abstract classes and operators for Functor, Monad, Applicative, and so on. It's a bit clunky (and if compilation goes wrong, you may get some epic-length error messages), but when you set up your tipes just right, it's pretty magical.

>We also require every access to any stack variable to do math to figure out where on the stack it's arguments are.

I suspect that on modern architectures these trivial additions are effectively free most of the time. In my experience the hard part of optimizing for modern architectures is compensating for memory latency (cache optimization, prefetching) and pipeline flushes (branch prediction).

An inline, unconditional add is as cheap as it gets these days. A few additional bytes of stack that's (almost) always going to be super hot in cache is not really significant.

I suppose it could pose an issue for super deep function call tree where it would cause the stack to grow more than necessary, but given the usual memory overhead of JS I doubt that it's going to be very significant even then.
I wonder if this will make non-techies' life even harder. Right now, thanks to the relatively higher pay, techies are concentated in cities/urban areas. With rermote work possible on a permanent basis, all these relatively well-off techies moving to rural areas; and with their spending power, wouldn't they drive up prices?
Intel and AMD are focused on the x86(-64) ISA, with a strong presence in the desktop and server space [1].

ARM is everywhere mobile, they really cornered the "low-power" (ie energy) space way ahead of Intel and AMD. They provide a great ecosystem of IPs and tools around them. Think of them as the "battery's included" DIY provider for building chips.

But both of the above generally target general-purpose CPUs [2], the one you usually think as being the core of your computer. But there are others! DSPs have dedicated instructions for saturated math (no overflow/rollover) and multiply-accumulate, GPUs are DSPs on steroids, and there's otherwise an entire spectrum of complexity you can have from your 8-bit integer microcontroller that doesn't even have a divide instruction, all the way up to the massively-parallel floating-point processors.

Problem is, that spectrum was divided between many different proprietary ISAs, each with their various levels of tool sophistication and support.

RISC-V is based on the idea that we can do a better job unifying the ISAs across this spectrum of processor complexity. It's an extensible ISA that starts with basic integer-only operations and direct addressing, and can extend with instructions for more sophisticated operations such as adding 32-bit floating operations, 64-bit float, supervisor mode, hypervisor mode, SIMD... All of which can share a common ecosystem of compilers, formal verification, debuggers...

But the real popularity of RISC-V is that you can use its ISA, and design a chip around it, freely without having to pay a (expensive!) license to ARM. This does present an existential threat to ARM, although they have a strong head-start in offering a ready-made ecosystem of tools. Do you want to spend $10M in engineering manpower and experimental silicon tape-out designing your new chip? Or just pay $2M to ARM to license their known-good CPU?

It takes a lot of effort, expertise (and iteration!) to design a CPU core that's as performant and feature-full as what ARM spent years (decades!) perfecting. Do companies choose RISC-V because it allows them to re-use their tools on novel chip designs, or because it's just cheaper and, new as it is, sufficient for their purposes? It's exciting to watch the development.

(Also I can't help but notice that many of the RISC-V chip announcements are coming from China)

[1] Fun fact: in the 80s and 90s, x86 was the "cheap, consumer" chip that was looked down upon by the Workstation class RISC-type chips like the Sun Sparc, or DEC Alpha (and much of Apple's chip design team sprang from a core of ex-DEC designers!) But Linux came along, Intel kept improving their chips, and took over the workstation/big-iron space from the incumbents

I think better opamps and audio quality is always enough reason to have a separate sound card in your PC.
I don't think the fact that it sometimes works out well means that it's generally a good idea. Relationships probably end in breakup as often as not, and then you're left in the awkward position of still needing to go to class (or to work) with your ex as your "superior."
Facebook built a radicalization engine, and they should be held accountable for the radicals it creates.

This isn't even new, Facebook facilitated a genocide in Myanmar that everyone seems to forget about.

What will it take for society to acknowledge that Facebook was a massive mistake run by amoral sociopaths?
Yep, I agree. Jamming the design theory into it is absolutely missing the point of the original.
Obviously too little contrast is bad and makes text hard to read, but it doesn't at all follow that MORE CONTRAST is always better. In fact it's pretty clear that too much contrast (which is equivalent to too much brightness, since there's a floor on how black the dark parts can get) can be a negative thing, that's why we don't all leave our displays at maximal brightness in all lighting conditions.

Another commenter mentioned that all text should just be black on white and people can dim their screens as necessary. It's somewhat a matter of personal preference, but this seems like a bad solution to me. Most people are not looking at exclusively text when browsing the web, there are lots of pictures and videos as well. Users shouldn't have to be constantly fiddling with screen brightness. In photos and videos, contrast is often used for dramatic effect, where you want some parts to get brighter than others. If the text is too high contrast so you have to dim your screen further to view it comfortably, then the photos or videos you see alongside the text won't be as impactful and enjoyable. Why should every piece of text you read be as dramatic as the most intense rays of sunlight or something in a photo or movie?
> #ffffff is the color of looking directly into the sun and absolutely painful bright, #000000 is the color of the deepest, starless night

No. There's no definition of what they map to.

That's why we need USERS to be able to scale the ranges of brightness and contrast.

My environment changes during the day. I want to be the one in control of my screen, not some random website.
> They've avoided providing the necessary information to produce a better bill.

The people who proposed the bill avoided providing the necessary information. It’s their responsibility.

The legislature is their to vote on whether the proposed legislation is in the best interests of the people they represent. They have done that.

The proposers of the bill are free to discuss what would make a better bill with those legislators or anyone else.

If the proposers of the bill aren’t willing to do this and just want to blame the legislature, then perhaps they are the wrong people for the job.
Sounds a lot like NDISwrapper.[1] God, that was a pain in the ass.

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper
Something that never seemed to bubble up coherently in mainstream anti-capitalist discussions was whether there was a totalitarianized capitalism, which would have been a useful perspective, but I think progressive intellectuals of the 80's and 90's couldn't acknowledge totalitarianism as a thing because it undermined the certainty of their own narratives. They couldn't punch left, even if it was Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and other genocidieres, and that deprived them of a framework with a lot of predictive power.

However, when viewed as what totalitarianism technically is - a movement that attacks truth itself with the objective of subjugating the individual human spirit and neutralizing all possible opposition, the cynical neo-liberals of the 90's would have qualified. Totalitarian movements use other factions and nations as vehicles, so that they used consumerism as a means to globalizing their ambitions is really secondary to what they meant to achieve.

When I look at suddenly controversial and borderline dissident writers today like Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald, and even recently, Naomi Wolf, who seem to have defected from the progressive narrative, I think it's because they weren't "leftists," but in fact principled believers in truth and the human spirit, and against totalitarian movements. They aren't neutral or bi-partisan at all. They're a-partisan in that their objections today are against people and movements that make truth their target.

The not-triangular shape labeled "2200 matte paper" are all colors representable by reflective materials.

Colors outside of that range can only ever be produced by emissive materials, such as fire, stars, or your monitor.

All the colors your website uses should be from the range of reflective colors, as those are the ones seen in nature, and the ones your eyes are adapted to see.

The same applies also to black/white contrasts. Even vantablack next to a white sheet of paper (which would already be massively higher than any contrast in nature) still has a much lower contrast ratio than your monitor has.
High contrast is harsh on the eyes. Black on white is very tiresome for me, and can become harder to read at the end of the day. I always set the background of my text editors to dark grey.
Will these robot taxi cars require a vaccine passport to operate?
I would nope right out of that one. Relationships change; rings can change, but tattoos do not. Nobody wants a constant reminder of a failed relationship, and I would imagine that your new SO wouldn't be super thrilled to be constantly reminded of your ex. Plus what do you do if you get re-married? Tattoo another ring on? Wear an actual ring over the tattooed ring?
The dissent clearly highlights the fallacy of the ruling, where it discussed the importance of the "heart" of the work, rather than the portion of exact lines copied.

Aka, that you could clone Harry Potter's plot, characters, and story while not copying each word of the book verbatim, and it still be a copy of Harry Potter.
We simply check whether a public version of an article is free to read. We do not check if it has an open-access licence or whether it is peer-reviewed. This is because our first focus is to let people read research.

Doesn't this open the floodgates to bogus research and paper mills?
>Yes, by definition there will always be an average. But "average" for employed s/w devs should differ to national average - you can still expect developers to maintain certain standards, and that higher-ups will perform better (than say, the average s/w grad).

I dont disagree. The article to me reads differently. Like the author was digging for 'failures of a developer' but only proposed issues that are for sure failures of the company.

I expect the entire article is horseshit. A scenario that was invented in this dude's mind.

Out of interest I just checked out the authors other articles.

Topics ive noticed is Emotional Intelligence, burnout, racial/sexual discrimination, and performance reviews.

This guy has little to no clue about the tech side. He doesn't understand maintaining standards or how any of the software development process works.

Again, I want to be clear here that my defence of Trump isn't because I support him, I don't.

That said, I don't know how he can be an extremist given he received such huge support from the American public twice. He's called both a populist and an extremist, which seems - at least to me - to be an oxymoron.

I guess I also don't know why I should think he's a white nationalist? Could you expand on why you think that?
We don't have to do any of this. We just need to have the same preparations that were (wisely) in place for the BLM protests in DC, to also be in place for any other major protest with the potential to go off. And then enacted if a threat arises.

It takes a large number of people to pull off what they pulled of on Tuesday.

Agreed this is a problem. For example, I had to educate my boss about Option vs null, and I'm still not sure he gets it (he's an old school C-and-then-Java programmer).
