I'd rather the headline read "hasn't popped" versus "never popped". It implies there's some force keeping the high heel bubble (whatever that may be) from popping in perpetuity, and seems to draw a connection to the education bubble doing the same.

This is like an article in 2007 reading "The High-Hell Bubble never popped, and the Housing Bubble may not either."
Cardiac monitoring systems DO NOT have downtime believe it or not.
Isn't this a good start-up idea? A start-up that backup your website and deploy it to another hosting in case the one you are using is down.
Aside from ad-hoc classes (defined within the scope of a function, say), does it ever make sense to garbage-collect a module or a class?

Say you do "import smtplib" in your main file. Now that module is imported -- forever. I don't know the internals of Python well enough, but I bet that the module reference has strong references to its contents, so that even if nobody is actually calling anything in smtplib, it will be there in case someone does. The same should be true about modules importing other modules; they stay visible at the scope-level, so they are permanently loaded.

So for those cases it would make sense to keep them separate from global garbage collection. I'm pretty sure that the method tables of all the classes in the system take up considerable space, probably in the order of megabytes for many apps.
EC2 is fine for part of the servers. I'd honestly say you should have multiple locations of servers, managed via different means (so the single points of failure are not there).

EC2 just shouldn't be ALL of the servers.
We were discussing the "mistakes" made by the Java design team. JMM is one of their products. It is relevant to mention this fact as it supports the claim that the responsible parties have generally been also quite brilliant folks.
Perhaps unrelated, but the gothamair.com is blocked by McAfee's proxy (corporate environments, sigh). Medium risk of phishing is the justification given...
It turns out that this has already been made before.

This isn't particularly scientific, but the list of "2000s languages" on Wikipedia is relatively short:

In Seoul, multiple emergency alerts asking people to keep 2 meter distance and to cancel trips and meetings were pushed to mobile phones for the first time yesterday morning. Pedestrian streets in popular districts are still fairly bustling tonight, even if less crowded given the season.
I'm referring to my own clinical and scientific perception, which seems to be shared among my peers, but I didn't run a comparative study.

Right now, chloroquine is cheap. I suspect that will change.
As for plasma yes, every step from collection to administration is expensive if you want to keep with the current safety level. And other people need plasma too...

Plasma toxicity worries currently comes more from transfusion-related reactions than from infection.

Hospitals have very limited capacity in term of production. Just starting with the fact that you'd have to find enough volunteers in the first place, but even so a hospital is not a factory.
Coronaviruses did exist, but not this one.
Top comment alludes to the stage of the disease as being important. So when we talk severity, is it severity by stage? Or overall severity? How will these drugs help when the disease has already attacked the lungs causing the large immuno response?
If that's any reassurance to you they are observing an inflection in Italy, potentially a sign that the lockdowns have their desired effects. We just need to hold on for a couple weeks before it curves back as in China. And that's discounting the ongoing trials for treatments that could solve this quicker than expected.
Baskervald is not that bad, I use it almost exclusively and I am quite fond of it. Yet, it lacks the liveliness of classic Baskerville. I do not know exactly what it is the difference; but in the french accents it is very obvious.

No idea about your macos question.
The government should just simply freeze all loans that affect these sectors.

Who would then get affected? Mostly rich rentier types and then the banks. The banks will be given super low interest rates from the fed to cover the shortfalls in interest from these loans.

Essential services like food/medicine production, etc should be given grants to fill in any production holes.
Flu is not a Coronavirus.
I hope no mainstream news source runs this story. Stuff like this makes the field look so goofy.
I'd argue the opposite. I'd say it's impossible to love something if you don't know the ugly details. It's about being enamored with a language despite it's shortcomings. You know, just like loving people.
While the concern for user privacy is certainly understandable, abolishing the HTTP referer does not solve the issue. In fact it can be argued that it could do harm than good - basically every web based business relies on it in one way or another (customer acquisition channels, news mentions, backlinks, attribution, etc).

The referrer itself is not at all used in tracking the user - as the visitor data is usually aggregated by referring source. Fingerprinting and evercookies are much more common ways of tracking individual users, and you can bet that there are even more advanced methods available for government agencies with service-level access.
I think this could have a great impact on water vessels. I wonder if they can do the same sort of thing on a fiberglass surface...

It's a good thing the Olympics banned those full-body swimsuits. This would be the next million-dollar suit.
I keep meaning to buy one of his portraits of Gauss (http://www.kleinbottle.com/gauss.htm)
Art isn't the only place where people can be ahead of their time. Xerox PARC had a lot of good ideas, for example, but were only appreciated after some folks reappropriated them.

Gov't incentives meanwhile often create unintended effects. For example, incentivizing investment in the arts leading to rich people creating their own private museums, often inaccessible to the public, and using them as convenient funnels for tax deductions while still enriching themselves.[1]

They make statements on the long-run average lift, which is a quantity that many businesses care about: what will my average lift be if I implement a variation after my A/B test?

Could you state clearly what this guarantee is? Unless I'm making a stupid mistake, such guarantees are impossible even in principle with frequentist statistics.
Visual coding is a fantastic way to introduce novices to programming. I've been teaching students for over 10 years to program and I've found no better way to introduce computational thinking than visual programming. Of course as students' skill grows so too does the need to graduate to traditional text based programming.
So, apparently, on average senators do not beat the market as would be expected if this was rampant. So maybe they're not using insider information too much. Either that or, even given their privileged information, they still cannot turn that information into good trades.

I imagine it's more of the latter than the former. Stocks rarely follow rationality in the short term.

A study that talks more in depth about this was made last year:

Serious question: there used to be in US law a record keeping requirement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Protection_and_Obscenity... ; what happened to that which meant Pornhub could just publish whatever with no attempt at verifying legitimacy?
The IRS gets to take a very dim view of people trying this because it audits corporations for tax purposes.

High level position? What about automated scrapers and personality algorithms selling profiles to your future employers and insurance companies 20 years later? “This person used to swear a lot, which means they are more likely to be hiding <some condition> that <the data purchaser> is concerned about.” In the gig economy, everyone is a brand that has to be built up and that can be torn down
webflow is great! I’ve implemented it for a non-tech company and will recommend, to the level where some non-tech people could even build parts of the site, and I just had to do the technical finishing. The cms is also super simple.

Have also done a Gatsby netlify version but any customization even changing an image is a pain and will end up on your desk.

Although if it is a very large site where templating of 100s of pages and maintenance of it will be important I would not recommend webflow and go with a react option instead.
> They wouldn't have taken the case if the risk of losing was high

Depends how you define high.

75% chance of winning is still a 25% chance of the lawyers walking away with nothing. Lawyers who operate like this are effectively making a calculated investment of their own time (which could be money from paying clients) as well as associate and support time (which is money) and they do deserve to be compensated for their time and the investment must pay off above just directly time in (e.g. they have to be allowed to make profit here!).

While I don't LOVE the proportions with 60% of the money going to the attorneys, I don't know enough about the case to judge it and there are remedies if the plaintiff thinks their attorneys are inflating expenses.

I suspect that a direct calculation will show that Portland is more expensive, but the right type of person can live in Portland very happily on much less money than in Houston. Portland really promotes bicycling and light rail, while in Houston urban sprawl is the norm, and a car is virtually a requirement. Between the depressed Oregon economy and the somewhat bohemian culture that is modern Portland, there is probably a self-reinforcing lull in salaries.
Not accurate, Bebo was sold to Criterion Capital Partners in 2010.
Do what you will, I'm not going to defend Sony exactly but you'd be stunned to know how much this kind of thing happens and goes unreported. Stunned. Sony deserves a pile of credit for manning up and saying what they've said. Unfortunately they're also admitting that they have no idea how bad it really is. A remarkable number of companies wouldn't disclose this much. A remarkable number of them will interpret and spin it all in their favor and report as little as possible.

Buy a Nintendo next time...
I am very excited to see what comes out of this shop. In fact I would like to see more entrepreneurs who cashed out the first time, start their own min-idealab.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and support. Any other tips for finding freelance jobs? I have done some freelance work in the past, but it has always been for family and family friends. I've never put myself out in the open like you're describing, so any tips would be fantastic.
Does that sound the same as:

You simply make an ebook, sell it, have an affiliate program whose only condition is to buy the book, and make it a multi-level affiliate program.
I see you have added a section about the required libs in the post, it should give no problems now.

If you could include a bit about installing rvm system wide and maybe setting up passenger, it would have saved me a lot of time and grief a week ago.
I also wouldn't be, but IIRC it doesn't materially change the picture. (No citation handy at the moment.)
I get "You cannot use this version of the application Kod with this version of Mac Os X." - ???
Isn't that a bit like using "bugs fixed" as a metric of programmer quality? It gives them an incentive to get lots of people in for nothing, do nothing, and then call them "rehabilitated."
I don't know if I agree with this completely. I lived in Nairobi in the summer of 2004 and had a real difficult time understanding people for the first couple of weeks.

However, the people generally do speak quite slowly with melodic voices and emphasized pronunciation.
All things being equal, human beings prefer an object now instead of an object in the future.
Most lower-income americans make more than the world median income. Our "poverty line" is 20x the income line for half the planet.

Of late in Atlanta, one news story about someone unable to pay to heat more than one room had a dramatic photo of her showing her heating bill in her living room - with a 55" HDTV and Xbox360 in the same room.

Problem with that chart is scale: while 20% may have most of the money, the poorest still have enough to live in world-relative luxury.
the license is the good, but thanks to our old friend the COPYRIGHT system, the license is treated as a bona fide product that you sell. After all, copying is stealing right? :) Don't pirate my ebook!!
What matters to me is that code never relies on one person or a small group of people to maintain/improve it.

If a senior Python/C++/Java developer can open up the source code to some Erlang program that is having problems and fix a bug, then awesome. I can hire them by the boatload.

If I have to spend 2 months searching for a replacement for an Erlang developer that quit, well, that's not good at all.

My feeling is that senior Erlang people aren't exactly abundant. I have a friend who is flown around the world for Erlang contracting jobs simply because he's a well known senior Erlang guy. That makes me nervous as an employer.
The interesting part would be information about available sensors, and I see none of that at the link provided. Too bad.
Could you answer a few of the parent's questions, though?

We know that the article is about your issues, but we're curious to hear why these seemingly insignificant issues mattered to you.
They don't know the security theater procedures so they take longer to go through them and hold up the people behind them (laptop out of bag; liquids, gels, and aerosols in plastic bag; etc).

(That's one of the advantages of TSA PreCheck - not only are there fewer people in line, but the people who are in line are frequent flyers who tend to move fast.)
My understanding is more that it was meant to be read both ways, but with the former understood to be serious and the latter a joke.
Physicists have, in the past, slowed down the group velocity of light. This appears (if the results hold) to be a genuine slowing of the phase velocity, which would be huge. To understand the difference between the two types of velocity, Wikipedia actually has a really good page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity .
Pardon my echo, but moving from York, PA to Philadelphia instantly at-least-doubled my income, and (in 2006, when I moved), there were roughly 40x the weekly opportunities available in the greater Philly area than there were in Central PA (along rts 30 & 83), and immensely more variety in those opportunities than what you can find, or even create for yourself back in central PA.
It really does help - I'm a complete and utter newbie at actively trying to market and sell, so it's making a huge difference, thanks :)
The article explicitly says that the Fed made money on every one of the commercial paper loans it gave out.

Keep the world economy fluid and be profitable in doing so, hard to complain about that one (though someone surely will).
Linode has actually been able to do NetBSD for a while: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/NetBSD_howto

With a little work I'm sure this version of FreeBSD can be installed on Linode as well.

Unfortunately, the federal aspect of the US government has almost disappeared as a result of the 16th amendment and the 17th amendment and a few other factors such as mandates that the states must follow in order to receive federal funding. The US government is now plainly a national one.
Not even the country? Certainly no hard feelings, but I think you would have gotten better answers.

I hope that answers you did get helped you.
App Engine and Heroku have recently taken a couple of my projects infrastructure costs down to nil... so it is getting less expensive. However, the opportunity costs are still eating me alive. :)
This is much clearer thank you. From your initial example, I thought you were suggesting to just load 2 large tables into memory at once and iterate through them to find matches.

Also, at the surface, this seems like it would be a good application for using materialized views. I obviously don't know the ins and outs of what the usage here was, but this seems like a case where slowing down the insert would be a good speed sacrifice for retrieval.

I'm not going to even feign being an expert at database optimization, but that seems like it might be a more efficient way to approach it.
But you will never have profit without revenue, unless you call an acquisition revenue.
> It's a standard piece of linear algebra to find the eigenvector of the appropriate matrix.

Yes please!! I just learned about eigenpairs and the teacher refused to explain their significance. I have no idea what they are beyond their purely abstract definition. I would definitely read your post about this.
Have you considered a Montessori?

There is also the 2 years of opportunity cost of building out that infrastructure, in which case the acquired company will probably be ahead technically, acquired by another competitor, and/or have acquired an even larger customer base.
I don't think equaling "database using web applications" with "average programming" is being clear about the matter. Simply because that segment might not be immediately influenced doesn't mean the new technology won't be picked up.

And even as a web developer, I often write more than just something I throw at the web server. Many web applications require cleanup scripts, batch processing of messages or static content, or perform some kind of statistical analysis on their data models. Given enough data, these are all areas where multiple cores can be relevant.
The biggest shell-related revelation for me recently was that ~ is a special character in SSH. If you have an SSH session that's hanging and ctrl-C / ctrl-D isn't responding, try typing "~." (without the quotes).

man ssh | grep -A 30 tilde
Even in cities that happens, depending on the city and your lifestyle. I live in a city of 500,000 people (1.5m metro area), but I recognize people all the time, because we don't spread out randomly throughout the city on a given day. For example for groceries, I almost always shop at the three grocery stores on my street, because there's no particular reason for me to carry groceries across the city when I can just walk next door. There, I see mostly other people from the neighborhood and recognize most of the employees. I usually recognize people at coffee shops and bars where I'm a semi-regular, too. Fairly often I'll even run into people I know just out on the street or metro and stop to chat.

It seems Linux does not have option to skip slow start and just use receiver's advertised window.
Does anybody know where in net/ipv4/tcp.c this should be set?
> So assuming your physical layer is tin cans and string, what he's arguing is that if you have a link with a capacity of 12 segments, then data from Google will use 10 of them and a client will never expand its outstanding data beyond 2 segments. If both used vanilla TCP/IP, they should share the link evenly.

He's not showing any evidence that Google wouldn't back off to a smaller window in the face of packet loss; he's just saying their initial window is 9 segments. Once one of those 10 segments in your tin-can router falls out of its receive buffer, Google will be down to 9 and the other guys get up to 3, and packet loss will random-walk toward fairness.

Right? I've never tinkered with this stuff, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Please show some examples of pre-20th-century Buddhist literature that goes into very explicit detail about the precepts leaving little to personal judgment.

I've been reading from modern teachers, because Buddhism is a living religion, not something that was laid down in absolute terms centuries ago. But I have read a bit of the older texts through English translation and just have not seen the sort of strictness that you are implying.

Providing some specific excerpts would really help move this discussion forward.
Video production of a live event can be pretty easily automated. It's not no work, but once you're setup to do it it's pretty simple.

Creating an accurate transcript of a live event is time consuming, and "hard" (well, it's tedious, which most people take to mean hard) to do right. Even if you don't any qualms crowd sourcing for something like this, you still need to manage the crowd sourcing, and get an edit cycle in there.

TL;DR; Free things are free for a reason.
Of course you can, you just add a record whenever you do the jump, exactly like what you’re describing with inlined calls. It’s not hard to implement, it’s just that nobody does it, because it’s dumb.

You seem to have a very Java-centered view of the universe, because it is absolutely not true in most languages that inlined calls preserve call stacks. Call stacks are debug information, and there’s absolutely no requirement for compilers to preserve debug information while doing optimization. Requiring that would be lunacy, and it would prohibit a huge number of optimizations (or require costly bookkeeping).

I don’t know what the situation is in Java-land, but if Java preserves inlining information in call stacks using bookkeeping, then good for it, I guess. It can’t come for free, so you’re taking a performance hit for that pleasure. It’s certainly not something that is common, or commonly understood as a requirement for optimization.
I'm not the OP, but a ketogenic (very low carb) diet is not exactly uncommon these days.

I follow one myself (for health reasons, I have reactive hypoglycemia), and have done for a few years now. While it was difficult at the start, after a while you get used to it. And I lost a ton of weight without even trying.

I don't eat bread, fruit (barring a small amount of lemon/lime juice in food), or any grains or root veg (potatoes are worse than table sugar for spiking blood glucose!).

I do eat meat, eggs, and lots of low-carb veg - leafy veg, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, chicory, aubergine, courgette, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, onions etc.

I also eat plenty dairy too - cheese has no carbs, and a small amount of milk/cream has very little.
