That's one cool thing about living in Utah: https://www.npr.org/2018/04/01/598630200/utah-passes-free-ra...

The other cool thing is all the natural parks and outdoor activities (skiing, biking, climbing.)

The downsides are the utter lack of nightlife (not really my jam anyway, but whatever) and all the damn Mormons (I am one.)
My argument is not about zoning at all - it's about democracy and the will of a population. In your example, if the majority of the people don't want the factory or high-rise building to be there, it won't be there. And if they do, who are you, or I to say otherwise?

You either believe majority rules, or not. I happen to believe the former, but I do see many comments or believe the latter.
With AWS you can be confident that when you need help at anytime you can get one phone a person who knows his shit.

Also another interesting thing with AWS, there representative give you honest suggestion on how to reduce your bill.
For the first question, you would use some other button on the keyboard to click while dragging. I use the trackpoint which is also not pressable, but I use the mouse layer key to click. My mouse layer is activated with the mouse key in place of caps lock and a left click is with F. Since the UHK is completely mappable, you can find the best key combo for yourself. Only your thumb is occupied on the trackball so you have 4 fingers left for clicking on that hand alone. :)

If you get the left side key cluster module, it has clickers on the edge, so you can use those for clicking with your left hand while dragging with your right. Personally for me it wasn't the most comfortable choice so I stick to my mouse keys.

This is actually my first trackpoint that I really use, so I haven't searched for any alternative tips. I do admit a PS controller stick could be nice. :D Maybe a bit too light to touch?
Hmmm but Windows is shit.
Windows does the same thing if your app supports.
It’s amazing how effective his press conferences were at building back up his public image in the face of his objective failure.

What’s really depressing is how many people hopped on his side when they really should’ve known better. He’s not competent, he can just hold a press conference without doing something totally embarrassing during it.
Same, Marie Curie is by far much more recognized/contributed to nuclear physics...

She was the first woman to win Nobel, (and won it twice)
If it’s you using a gun, you get Somalia. If it’s the police using a gun, you get the US. (If it’s the police using a baton, you get the UK). It works because the threat isn’t just physical harm but also social consequences. Even going back through history, there would be governmental consequences for not abiding by fair trade, whether that was the local lord throwing you in the stockades or the rest of your tribe ostracizing you.
America was about getting to own land, for refugee serfs that had no opportunity to land and education.
This sounds like a really interesting idea that I hadn’t really encountered before. Do you have any suggestions for further reading?
It's tough. It's the same issue as how to get stay informed with the news. You just kind of have to dive in and you figure out what's what. I'd lend you some resources but there's a lot going on in the space so without knowing your interest it'd be hard to send you in any direction.

Overall though I think the best thing to do is follow the people that are actually getting things done or directly involved. For example Andreas Antonopoulos has been in the scene for a long time and speaks well at various depth from the tech to more abstracted views (https://aantonop.com/). However he's mostly involved in Bitcoin. On the Ethereum side there's a few different resources from Vitalik's blog (main cofounder) to the developer roundup notes, to straight up reading their forum and proposals.

If you're wondering more about the trading side then my personal favorites that don't waste your time or try to sell you stuff are Willy Woo (@woonomic), Plan B (@100trillionUSD), and Benjamin Cowen (Youtube). Will does chain analysis for bitcoin, Plan B develops macro price prediction models, and Cowen covers a handful of assets from a mathematical and risk-adjusted return perspective.

When you knowingly invest in a Ponzi scheme (or something like it) you are enabling it and you should be considered an accomplice.

It would be hard do prove in a criminal case, but there should be regulations to prevent the investors who should know better and who got handsome returns for enabling him to enable other similar schemes in the future.

The communist party in indonesia at the time had a huge women's front. They were an essential piece of the politics at the time.

EDIT: and post-1965 events, being a communist was an automatic death mark.
Brad worked for me at Zoto for about 6 months back in 2006 or so. I found him fiercely intellectual.

He moved to Oklahoma from England where he said he had been living with his mom. Because the driving age is 17 there, he hadn't gotten his license yet. I took to picking him up from the house and then letting him drive my car to the office so he could log time for his driver's permit.

One day he accidentally ran a stop sign, directly in the path of another car. I ended up shouting something like "Stop Brad!" at him, and reaching over and touching him on the arm as we squealed to a stop. What resulted was something I never had observed in a person before. He literally shut completely down, and for a about 5 minutes just sat there with his eyes closed, breathing. I tried getting his attention, but he was completely catatonic. I pulled the parking brake, and put the car in park because I had no idea what was going on with him.

I ended up asking him to leave Zoto a few months later, because of this and other bizarre incidences, which I chalked mostly up to being a young kid coming from a split marriage. I'm still not exactly sure what caused his strange behaviors, but it makes me sad to see that he went and straightened his life out, only to have all this happen to him.

How do their concert listings compare to Songkick? (I'm a huge fan of Songkick, by the way...)

Which then leads me to think... long-term development for Songkick could include bands taking control of or having access to their Songkick page?
It's definitely a startup and I promise not to use any emails submitted other than for a single request when the beta pages are up.

The problem is that Monaco exists as a tax haven, and is easily accessibly (at least for Europe's wealthy). 99% of the time I hate that the US taxes citizens' income when they move overseas, but then I hear a story like this and change my mind for a day or two.
> it’s the most dangerous it’s been while I have lived here (18 years)

It's not, though. Do you have any data to back it up?

All cause mortality has been very steady (with the exception of Sept 11 and Covid)[1]. Murders are near an all-time low[2] and are at nearly half of what they were when you moved to NYC.

Felonies are lower, muggings are lower, everything is lower. So what does "dangerous" mean to you and where can we see something to back up the idea that the entire city is more dangerous?

Your immune system is always faster than any vaccine development, it's not perfect but so are vaccines. Well Nature made life from nothing...beat that Apollo btw we achieved nothing compared to Nature with Apollo, it's just a dump rocket hopping to the nearest rock..and as you say'd it's one of humankind greatest achievement..bigger is probably just the invention of the wheel, on the other hand Scarabaeus sacer does that too.
Bingo, comfortable upwardly mobile populations aren’t too friendly to any sort of serious war. Let alone total

A majority in an agitated state that is being repressed or prodded (realistically or not) by other power blocs is what is worrying.

Even ideological extremism most just happens locally. Like the Russian socialist Revolutions and countless jihads.
> neither of them would pay in BTC. One of the interviewers even laughed when I asked

this is an entertaining anecdote, thank you for sharing.

wonder if there's a bit of a "there's a gold rush going on, so sell picks and shovels" mindset -- i.e. you don't necessarily have to believe that investing in bitcoin is a good idea to make a profitable living selling bitcoin-related financial services.

there's a pretty big difference in asking for an annual salary of e.g. $100k usd, to be paid in btc at the current exchange rate, versus asking for an annual salary of 2.17 btc (apparently 2.17 btc = $100k usd at time of writing). which one did you ask for?

i personally wouldn't be comfortable signing a 12 month lease where i agree to pay the landlord a fixed amount of btc. i prefer my long-term liabilities to be predictable and boring, not amplified by volatility from speculative asset classes. might be the same for how the company thinks about its labor expenses.
Thanks for sharing. It supports my general idea that even to progress in the "technical path" developing strong interpersonal and mentoring skills is essential.
The built-in apps seem to handle it pretty well (ex. the dictionary app has ⌘Ä / ⌘Ö shortcuts when set to Swedish). 3rd party apps often don't care and it gets worse the more you move away from plain QWERTY.

Although macOS is good in the aspect that combinations akin to AltGr on PCs aren't unique to non-US layouts. I've seen programmers assume it's safe to assign shortcuts to Ctrl-Alt (which simulates AltGr), making it impossible to enter certain characters. Not surprising, as it's not used on the US layout (just as there's no extra key next to the left Shift).
It is still amazing to me how Uber cannot narrow down the use cases enough. To me it was a done product in 2014, no need to additional features. I think the software industry as a whole does not have the concept of 1.0. We are trying to ship one more thing all the time.
I didn't interpret either one literally and was being equally nitpicky.

Getting less relevant by the minute but maybe they can do the same thing for ARM.
After recently seeing several articles related to FreeBSD (one of them was the Digital Ocean intro for linux users) I decided to play with FreeBSD 10.1 in virtual box. I liked pkgng, the "compactness" of the OS and several other features and after I successfully installed Xfce and Mate I decided to give FreeBSD a try on the bare metal, to see how it performs compared to Ubuntu and how many devices will recognize of the various devices (especially the Broadcom wifi which gave me some head aches under linux) on my Lenovo Yoga 2 11. The experience was very short. I was not able to boot any of the memstick FreeBSD images. 'Fatal trap 1 : privileged instruction fault' in the first milliseconds. After some investigation I had to give up cause there was no apparent easy way to bypass this panic. I knew that FreeBSD hardware support is behind Linux hw support but in my case it was very disappointing. Overall I like FreeBSD principles but I can't find any good use of it in virtual box (it's a step forward though, I remember that some previous FreeBSD version failed to boot even in virtual box).

The interesting thing this brings up is whether programming hiring is too specific. Why do we hire reactjs programmers with e-commerce experience instead of react programmers, e-commerce programmers, or programmers?

To me this guy sounds like he could do anything, just see if he's easy to work with and see if he likes your domain. He's certainly said enough about programming over the years that he shouldn't need a leetcode grilling.

Anyway my point was it can get quite narrow what we look for in a coder when in fact some broad experience might be just what is necessary. For instance I've coded apps for iPhone and Android despite being ostensibly a back end financial trader. I'd think a lot of coders wouldn't want to be siloed into the first thing they get a job in.
Where the papers that failed retracted???

It's not a big problem that strA.into_string() + strB tends to allocate twice, and you wouldn't notice it in production, but it's still a waste of cycles caused by Rust's abstractions. Not even the abstractions, really, they left that implementation out as a reminder to the coder. It's a bit of an icky tradeoff.
C.S. Lewis:

> The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There is not one of them which will not make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it is not. If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials "for the sake of humanity," and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.
That attitude among Haskell devs is one of the problems. The conviction that it is a fundamentally better way of programming and that anybody who chooses anything else for anything is a worse programmer certainly hampers its success.

But the main reason, at least in my 20+ year career in my industry, is that it simply doesn't have a track record of success. Haskell isn't remotely new. It was mainstream in academia when I was at university and since then I've seen multiple attempts at adopting it in a large scale commercial setting. I've seen a couple of successes, on small, well defined projects that were relatively "academic" in nature (i.e. the challenges were in the comp-sci type aspects rather than the engineering, and the interactions with other systems were minimal). I've seen more failures, projects with lofty goals that went nowhere. F# has been more successful, and I've seen some significant infrastructure built with it, but it's certainly not proven itself superior to the alternatives (in an industry where successful solutions always get mimicked).

Basically, it's 2022. People have tried it and it hasn't worked out.
haha they can't get away from it

It has enormous margin during all-engine takeoff performance, so it's not at all surprising that the takeoff continued successfully.

The performance calcs are done to ensure safety in a one-engine inoperative case.

The performance calculations for all multi-engine turbojets require at least a balanced field (simplified meaning: that you can experience an engine failure at the most adverse moment in the takeoff sequence and either bring the aircraft to a halt on the runway surface [including EMAS or other stopway surface] or you can continue the takeoff and meet initial obstacle clearance and second stage climb requirements with the most adverse engine inoperative and maximum thrust from the working engine).

That's why this is a serious deviation, even though turbofan engines rarely fail. 737s do reduced power takeoffs as a matter of economic optimization. The error here caused too little power to be commanded during the takeoff.
Hardware (peripherals) have state. Reading the hardware state is difficult and sometimes impossible so recreating that state correctly after powering down is very difficult. Then multiply that difficulty across all the different hardware that can be in a PC and it becomes extremely difficult to do on an arbitrary laptop/PC.

Add to that difficulty the fact that many hardware (peripheral) vendors provide incomplete documentation making it difficult or impossible to implement "off-nominal" situations like hardware state reading/writing-restoring.

VMs have an advantage that the peripherals are limited in types and numbers and the state is "virtual" so the state is directly accessible (r/w) in the virtualizing driver software, not buried in physical hardware. When you "hibernate" a VM, no physical device actually powers down and no (buried in hardware) state is lost.
I had the same feeling. It seems the two things here in question is my phone number (which luckily I never gave fb), and my email which it seems every spammer in the world already seems to have?

I noticed this even back when phonebooks were a thing that a 'private' number was not something random people should call. Yet the reality is that number is kind of public but not. If you did accidently call one you would get 'how did you get this number' from the person you called.

Judging by the amount of phone calls I get these days. They have also already correlated a huge number of these. Short of me changing my number every few years there is not much I can do. I am getting cold calls on property I bought 20+ years ago and them asking if I want to sell.

At the bottom of this though is the 'data' these companies are scouring on us. Then cross correlating it. I have for the past few years come to the conclusion data is harmful to keep for both the end users and the companies that do it. Companies like google and fb seem to be of a very different opinion. Companies should be going into collecting data with 'how do we get rid of it after some period of time', not lets buy more HD to keep it on.
It isn't just "still common", depending on the stats you find it is either the first or the second most popular for desktops and laptops with 1920x1080 the next most common - and the next few resolutions that follow are actually lower than 1920x1080 (eg. 1440x900). The next higher desktop resolution, 2560x1440, is rarely above single low digits (~3%), assuming it even registers.

Phase 0 of Ethereum v2 arrives in Q1 2020. Coming since 2014 but finally arriving :)

Proof of stake reduces the issuance of new ETH to pay for the cost of securing the network. It's cheaper than paying miners. And anybody can buy ETH to stake so it's more egalitarian than mining which requires economies of scale in hardware and electricity.
Hm, good question. COPPA is pretty old so I'm wondering if "digital consensus by creating the account" is good enough or if you would had to send some more formal document (letter, fax with signature).

I might be wrong, but GDPR was supposed to force businesses to provide a DNT option unless completely vital to the business. If that is true, most sites are liable for forcing you to click "yes".

The biggest problem is actual uptake for real transactions, as opposed to speculation and black markets.

The 2 biggest barriers to be solved are:

-volatility

These problems may or may not sort themselves out with time.
> All this resulted from evolutionary processes. Any approximation of AI which will deal with other agents will develop something like that and more in order to be competitive, collaborate and survive.

How can we assume that a simulated evolutionary process of a simple mathematical model or some arbitrarily sized multi-dimensional matrices yields similar evolutionary results?

Just think of the ongoing debate about quantum entanglement effects inside the neural signaling process. On a rather onthological level, we are still unable to formulate a mere definition of our consciousness or things like creativity that lasts longer than a few academic decades..
Refusing to open source their drivers is not a technical decision, it’s a political one.
I grew up in Delhi where every landlord and most of my neighbors were refugees at one point. A good friend's father had a large hole in his forehead from having an axe taken to it during the riots.

Unfortunately none of them thought of turning themselves into royalty; they were content being traders and hustlers. It strikes me that it would be very hard to perform that act of self-transformation today with Google and Facebook monitoring my every move.
The truly intelligent person will see the way the other person stands to benefit. That's how you avoid getting scammed. Unless you truly believe some stranger is offering you this great opportunity out of the goodness of their heart (in which case you have a thing or two to learn about people in general).

And if I can't understand how the other person benefits? I'm immediately suspicious.
GP is taking into account the larger picture and discussion of Galileo's ideas. The Inquisition was sicced on Galileo and the justification was that his ideas contradicted the Bible. But the actual prosecution was also motivated by Galileo's obstreperousness. Guy was difficult and he challenged the Church's authority in weird ways (not always intentionally). In particular, he was seen to have attacked one of his main supporters, who happened to be the Pope.
The CPI has been gamed into uselessness because governments and corporations have indexed things like pension increases to it. The "hedonic substitution" concept is particularly disingenuous. Seniors can't afford steak any more and buy hot dogs instead? Inflation's gone down, yay!

Coming from Australia, I find the whole anti-nudity-sex view of US extremely bizarre.

One one side Netflix and friends have figured out that Booms, Bullets, Bucks, Boobs and Butts are a golden formula. Like most HBO series involve some form of nudity.

On the other side the big media mafias are heavily censoring totally normal things.
