To the best of my knowledge, this is not true: the US was open from 1800 until Chinese exclusion in the 1870s and 1880s, and in the 1860s actually had laws to encourage even MORE immigration.

We've been having gun control discussions for decades. The issue has been decided. Gun enthusiasts having access to their hobby has been determined to be worth about ten thousand deaths per year. The cost is understood and accepted.
I know you jest, but is there a proof (or good hypothesis) that allows one to convert a formula to an appropriately sped-up version quantum optimized algorithm?

Compare the Sieve of Atkin to Shor's algorithm, for what I am referring to.
Also, German religious leaders tended to promote integration more than Irish religious leaders. Irish Catholics tended to be highly conservative, and were also viewed (rightly or wrongly isn't totally clear) as sympathetic to the South and slavery up until the Civil War, when they fought for the Union of course, but also led draft riots in many cities.
It's for personal gain, not for the benefit of everyone. Yes, a structure that has many of the qualities of Bitcoin would be beneficial for all of society, everyone. If it was beneficial to everyone, without these unreasonable problems, then everyone would adopt it - including myself. A different structure can exist that has the same qualities as Bitcoin - that is what I am arguing for.

It's nice that Buffer exposed their salaries publicly, but I strongly dislike how they use location-based salaries. If they aren't willing to pay US salaries to EU people, they will never get the best EU people. For an average EU salary you'll get an average EU developer.

Agreed. If you don't make it your business to create the perfect workflow software for your coworkers, and instead learn to use it as designed, it may not be perfect, but it works well and has some really nice features. It certainly works well enough, when used as designed and only using the pieces you need instead of trying to find uses for stuff that you can do without and which will only complicate your work, and is a good tool that can let you get back to your work.

As I said, I doubt anyone thinks it's a reasonable number. But I put it out there because advocates of immigration need to be aware that EVEN THEY probably prefer tighter immigration than we had in the 19th century. I don't think there's any political constituency for 19th-century levels of open-ness. I mean, I favor much higher immigration, but even I'd balk at that, regardless of origin.
"I feel Go is not meant to be embedded in Python runtime."

I suspect that it is going to ultimately be your core problem. Even if you make it work with specific versions or specific modules, it'll always be fragile.

Like many modern languages that embed an event loop into themselves one way or another, the Go runtime expects to fully own the target process. It makes it difficult to play well with others, because the "default" C-based runtime provides so few guarantees that it's difficult for two otherwise C-compatible runtimes to "play nice" with each other. It's part of why the JVM and .Net are so interesting for cross-language development; the VM provides a richer, better-specified "base layer" that multiple languages can use, enabling much easier interop.

It's a death-by-a-thousand-cuts sort of thing; hypothetically nothing really prevents this, but in reality you're probably not going to want to take the time to make it work which may very well involve custom modifications of either runtime, when you should probably just go ahead and set up some RPC connections. (JSON's a nice default to prototype quickly, but depending on your needs you may want something like protocol buffers or the half-a-dozen competing libraries.)

These two are roughly the same thing. Formally, a proof is just a computation within an axiomatic system. A computation is just transforming one expression into another according to a set of rules. Whether this transformed expression is an algebraic or a logical formula is not a huge difference.

In terms that may be more familiar to programmers, lisp's homoiconicity of data and code corresponds roughly to how Gödel was able to express logical formulae as arithmetic statements via Gödel numbering. Once you are able to encode logical formulae as natural numbers, you can then use laws of arithmetic (e.g. Peano's axioms) to compute/prove other statements/numbers.

Even most postmodern industries are geographically clustered, and regional evidence within the US suggests economic prosperity is not getting more even, ergo, migration is likely to continue.

Learning a bit of Quantum Mechanics is going to be more helpful than anything else in physics to understand quantum computing.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths is a standard undergrad text. The math is all "simple" (linear algebra and calculus). It's the learning a new way to think about the world that's the hard part.
Thank you; upvoting for support. Wishing you health.
This might be an ignorant question, but can one still force a decidable solution by assuming a stronger set of axioms? And if so, does this undecidability have any physical significance?
I am a developer living in Canada (emigrated from India a long time ago) and I have heard of and seen many outsourcing horror stories. So I wouldn't say most Indians adhere to "industry standards" in code-quality, etc. They are just in it to make money and many times do a very shitty job. Also, communicating with them isn't very easy. Most Indians think they speak fluent English, but I would say in my experience it's business level, not fluent. And ditto for cultural sensibilities and work ethics. I have first hand experienced many new-comers just flat out lie on their resume to get a job and act like it's not a big deal.

Its hard to define a perfect tool when everyone has even slightly different opinions.

For my startup, Jira+Confluence work good enough to keep us organized. And we know that we can change those tools to match our needs.

BTW. Atlassian, if you read this: We need a better UI to organize (big) backlogs.
It's hard to say whether they're really "bad at catching the red flags" or not because we're looking at the data after the fact, knowing exactly how the situation turned out. Everything looks like a serious, obvious warning sign once the data has been pre-filtered and given context by the fact that we KNOW these people were planning a terrorist attack.

The other thing to consider is what flags actually allow the authorities to do unless the flags rise to the level where the police can actually arrest the suspects or follow them around 24/7.
Who says? Graphene gaps, (it must gap) even though its so small it's impossible to observe in practice. This had very important consequences for topological materials theory...
I would agree, but there also needs to be a balance. You can't solely rely upon comments when needing to change the code, whereas you can rely on comments to grasp what is happening in said code. But the same can go for self documenting variables. Sure they help you understand what the variable/function/etc. holds, but not what it does.

Almost like naming convention is looking at something through a telescope (very narrow point of view, but very concise) and comments (especially those at top of functions/Sprocs/algorithms that describe what is happening) are like looking with your bare eyes. You can get a jist of things, but you sometimes can't be sure that's accurate 100%.

(A backpacking saying is "never trust any sign you come across" Someone could have tampered with it since it was put up. Use it as a guideline, but not as a rule. I take a similar approach to comments in critical pieces of code. (Touching Credit Decision-ing for Auto Loans ... yep, gonna slow down and take it slow to make sure I don't screw anything up))
>"For example, the San Bernardino killers apparently took out a massive loan and emptied their bank accounts prior the attack."

The same exact thing happened in the Paris attacks: one of the killers (already known by french authorities to be radicalized) withdrew three months of salary shortly before the assault.

Saying that encryption is the problem is simply ridiculous considering the fact that even the most basic procedures aren't being taken care of.

Hey Peter,

Thanks!

Radio Carbon dating is used for authenticating rare vintages of wine[0], but it's a minor test for the most part.

In modern wine collecting, almost all of the fakes are focused around a few _Gran Cru_ lots of small vineyards, like chateau lafite or Petrus.

It's actually not that hard to find wine from the 60's through 70's (or earlier. Counterfeiters use real lesser wine from the right time period, and forge the label and bottle - assuming they can't find an empty bottle from the actual production run! These wines easily sells for upwards of ~$10,000 to 3 - 4 x that.

So radio carbon dating is only marginally useful in wine;
you need to use stable isotope ecology to see if the vintage matches the right terroir[1].

To make it even harder, most of the top vintages of French wine illegally imported grapes from neighboring regions to increase their complexity and overall flavor - this was a known but secret practice for about ~100 years, and since the French AOC[2] cracked down on it, there are concerns that modern wine lacking this complexity from blending will not age as well over ~20+ years.

I hope this information is helpful!

Agreed. I found the breakdown of how the NTSC standards were formed very interesting.
Yes, you can add more axioms, but your new system with more axioms will have other undecidable statements.

I don't know much physics, but my interpretation is this: we have a mathematical model of physics in which we have found a "naturally-ocurring" undecidable statement (scare quotes because most famous undecidable statements were specifically constructed to be undecidable). This does not really say anything about the natural world, merely that our mathematical modelling of it is incomplete, but it always must be incomplete.
> Honestly I can only hope, the only reason I have cable tv is so that comcast can still count me as a viewer with their "your bill will be cheaper if you just get a basic package" bs.

Look for that to disappear in the next few years. Cable companies have traditionally been ruled by the video business unit, but they're starting to realize that of the $120/mo triple play, consumers only value the video service at about $30-40/mo. That's more than it costs in licensing fees - so it would be a better profit move to charge $70-80/mo for straight Internet access. They're increasingly willing to sacrifice low-margin (with relatively high marginal cost) video revenue for high-margin broadband revenue.

I've always wondered why the cable companies haven't partnered with Netflix to sell subscriptions. Give the cable companies a cut in exchange for interconnects and cross-promotion. If Comcast were to offer a $100/mo Internet + Netflix + HBO bundle, it would sell like hotcakes.

Also, remember that the target customer for a cable company is a 50-year-old head of household. While "cord nevers" will be a drain on revenue in the future, big cable is still making a good profit targeting people who are far behind the technology curve.
The finite period of time isn't predetermined, and different systems could take different amounts of time. So, its not intuitive in the way you imply.

At least regarding higher education (where SCOTUS is reviewing), how is it systemic?

It seems to be much more of an economic issue, where family income, local society income, and students' school budgets should be controlled and watched for rather than "black".

It seems to me that saying, "hey you, who live in the ghetto, your school budgets are linked to your poverty. Hope you get the education you deserve" is so much more wrong, as education should be granted to everyone, equally in our public system.

I know my father played a big role in getting me into computers. When I was little, I watched him program, and our whole family played kings quest together. I have fond memories of our computer time, which I think lead me into programming/comp sci. I definitely didn't do cs because I loved math.

I definitely carry his passion and enthusiasm.
While growing up, my mother learned about computers with me too. I'm not sure where family fits in the grand scheme of things, but I think it plays an important role.

IANA will officially assign numbers once the I-D has progressed to standard status. They'll show up here:

In the mean time, the I-D does contain the requested values in section 3:

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xA8}
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xA9}
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xAA}

TLS_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xAB}
TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xAC}
TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xAD}
TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = {0xTBD, 0xTBD} {0xCC, 0xAE}

(the ones in the latter brackets) and IANA is very likely to use those. There's always a bit of a chicken and egg race condition here, usually resolved with a friendly mail to the IANA administrator.

a rather selfish approach to keep things polite.

- you want us to be more xenophobic, but in the same time steal local jobs for yourself, with our pay, but your local expenses. just WOW

- there are specific laws to prevent what you want to do, at least in some cases. it's called protection of local market, and a very good think to do, helps economy long term.

- again, xenophobic WHAT? I sit in 1 row here with Swiss, British (err... Scotch), Belgian, Kiwi, Chinese, French, Dutch, Ukrainian, Indian, Philippino etc. No issues whatsoever.

- you have a naive view of how good remote Indian resources are. technical skills happen to be OK in many cases, but all remaining, and at least EQUALLY necessary are not. 0 initiative, 0 willingness to take any risk/personal responsibility for decisions. "please hand me over perfect spec and I'll get it done" is nice, but doesn't work in world without perfect spec, or any spec at all. Plus Bangalore is not cheap anymore, Pune is so-so. Eastern Europe wins so far in price/value ratio.

and I could go on and on... one strongly suspect troll there :)
I agree, there are parts of the comment that get personal.

I disagree with the "ideological rant" part. Yes, Western military action in the Middle East is a classic flamewar topic, but for an article about violence that the perpetrators think is the moral thing to do, it's very much on-topic. Also, nobody else seems to be talking about the Overton window with regard to "extremes".

Ideally, everyone would steer clear of personal attacks regardless of the topic and regardless of provocation. (I see "it would seem that my writings have touched a nerve" as provocation.) But that's an awfully high bar to hold people to.

I vouched for the flagged comment because of its unique contribution to the discussion, even though I didn't like all the "you" parts.
There is really no international justice. The international arena is an anarchy, where countries operate to keep each other in check while expanding their own sphere of influence. NO COUNTRY has ever intervened to "bring justice" to another country.

Even during World War II, the Allied powers went to war against Hitler's expansionism, and not on account of the holocaust. If Hitler had just concentrated on killing people in his own country (like Stalin), no one would have clamored for bringing the Nazis to justice.
I agree with you that modern web projects tend to suffer from build dependency creep - but I don't think Composer alone really counts as being heavyweight or unnecessarily complex, even for a small project. It's just a phar archive and a json file. That's not really the same class of insanity as, say, requiring the Node.js runtime and npm to import a build system to compile the CSS assets for a PHP project.

Even if structuring a project around the PSR autoloader adds a bit more complexity (probably little more than adding a namespace and moving everything into a folder) that's still preferable to the dark days when everyone just rolled their own autoloaders (if you were lucky) or you were expected to do it yourself (and then maybe everything gets wrecked because of a relative path somewhere in the mass of includes of includes.)
I very rarely agree wholesale with a cause nowadays. Most often, I can be sympathetic to certain elements of a cause.
