Convincing other people of things that are false is standard practice every April 1. I believe that whole Exxon article is an April Fool's joke.

...although looking at it more carefully, the doxing article is not dated April 1, and it has the same claim in it. Maybe he forgot what he was doing and successfully trolled himself. I don't know. But yes, the Exxon thing is obviously, demonstrably false.
>>You're not in a movie, fracking is not going to cause some sort of earthquake catastrophe.<<

I have in-laws that live north of Edmond OK and the almost daily tremors and quakes there have changed their lives to a certain degree...

My father-in-law goes out to check the brickwork on his house on a regular basis now, paying special attention to his chimney...things occasionally rattle off shelves and fall to the floor...

Injection well frequencies and volumes have now been reduced or entirely curtailed in certain areas of the state...

So, maybe life does indeed seem a bit surreal if you live in an affected area...

Drilling, fracking, and the use of injection wells to dispose of waste-water have apparently led to Oklahoma becoming as quake-prone as California...

My heart is palpitating. I love where this is going. Jake Vanderplas talked about the desire for a common data frame lib to unite the warring tribes in his PyCon keynote a year or so ago, and I couldn't have agreed more.

This appears to be "only" a serialization format ("oh, my unicorn only lays golden eggs"). I really hope this is the start of some common library infrastructure that can be used for all aspects of in- and out-of-memory data frames.

Great work, and I hope it is a harbinger of good things to come. Also, I'll treat this as tangible evidence that the "language wars" are stupid.

Growing up my dads best friend was CEO of Alcoa... And there has long been the debate about fluoride in water.

I was told that fluoride is a by product of aluminum production, and it is extraordinarily toxic/acidic...

They can't dispose of it... So they found that small quantities in water wasn't toxic, per se, but helped with "tooth health" - but what I was told next stayed with me to this day "what better place to store it than in your liver"...

The earth is a lot more - but it's certainly the liver of humanity.

Basically they use toxic waste to force out the profitable product.

> Where does the demand-side elasticity come from?

If you make more money available then housing prices go up to consume essentially all of it. But that's how markets with highly inelastic supply behave. Yet we can build arbitrarily many housing units. So why haven't we built more? Urban housing prices have been high for many years. Plenty of time for the market to react. Something must be preventing it.

> If the monthly cost of housing actually started tending towards the amortized cost of construction, the builders would immediately stop just as they did during the last mini-crisis.

Of course they stop when it becomes unprofitable. What would you expect them to do?

The problem is this: Increasing the supply of housing can cause housing prices to fall very quickly. From a social perspective that's what we want, but from a construction company perspective the last thing they want is to pay a lot for land that loses its value while they're holding it.

The way to mitigate that risk is to buy less land and build more housing on it. But if zoning regulations don't allow that then they build nothing. Hence the problem.

> In practice, I don't worry. I'm fine with the leaky abstraction, because the benefit of fixing the leak (reducing the probability that OOM crashes my program from almost zero to exactly zero) isn't worth the cost (increased complexity).

In practice, you're being sloppy or what you've described
is the relevant worrying - considering whether your program has appreciable odds of OOM and the odds of things being particularly bad when that happens, and then deciding that additional worrying is unnecessary. But this can need re-evaluating as circumstances change.

> There are levels of abstraction and degrees of micromanagement.

No disagreement there.

> Depends on what kind of program you're writing.

A bit, but mostly in terms of performance.

> But if your DBMS crashes, your data might even be in an irrecoverably inconsistent state, unless you properly anticipated all (software) causes for it to crash.

I disagree. If you have designed your program with an assumption that it might fail at any point regardless of reason, then you don't need to have "properly anticipated all (software) causes for it to crash", and further you should be robust against some portion of non-software causes.

Dealing with this is a large part of the job. Picture a small community, or group of families, fighting a major corporation that just repeats "the science isn't conclusive" and "we worked within legal guidelines and can't be blamed". Outside firms have to be hired, by people whose livelihoods have been squashed, to do extensive, and expensive, testing. It's frustrating and sad.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_%28Japan%29 is a good overview.

In the west we have this opinion that an economy should under go the maximum amount of growth at all times and so from that perspective Japan looks like a basket case and yet they have a good standard of living, an excellent life expectancy and by most measures are a successful country.

That said much of what happened in Japan is worth study in the greater world, the suppression of wages and the liquidity trap (their debt is 240% of GDP) have analogues in the western world.

Feather currently doesn't support recursive/hierarchical data structures, like lists in R. That'll be added in the future though. We'll definitely standardise in the future so you can feel confident using it in the long term.

In California, health insurance is not required to and can ask for it back.

From the insurance dept website http://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/... :

"If I am injured in an accident, does my health insurance pay anything?

Usually, your health insurance pays for your immediate medical care. Then your health insurance company will typically try to get back money from your auto insurance or the other person's auto insurance. When one insurance company tries to get money back from another insurance company, it is called subrogation."
Such behavior infringes on the opportunity of others to decide whether or not they want to hear the speech in question.
The format already supports larger than RAM data, but we don't yet have an API for creating those files or just extracting slices. That will come in the future.
Not fracking. Deep injection wells. There is a big difference. More accurate to say oil and gas production activities, but it is incorrect to the point of being misleading to say it's fracking.
The more these things happen the more you should see it as panic in the eyes of the current wielders of significant power in China. Controlling access to information like this is fundamentally incompatible with being a nation that trades with all of the world. Trade requires communication and (forgive the 'Chinese Math') a fraction of the Chinese population is in daily contact with the rest of the world.

It's a matter of time, really. How much I have no idea, they are doing what they can to abuse technology to fight this rearguard action, and what the fall-out will be like I have no idea about either, other than that it probably won't be pretty and that it will upset lots of applecarts, made in China and elsewhere.
> This conference is pretty much dead.

What makes you think that?
Backlash free motors are motors where the output shaft begins moving as soon as the motor starts moving. In particular, when the motor reverses direction there is no "slack" to pick up before the output shaft starts to move. The slack is called backlash when talking about gears and motors and what have you.

It's important for robots to not have backlash, because as movements are repeated, each bit of backlash adds up into a potentially big cumulative error. It could end up with the robot operating outside of the intended design envelope, which might be a safety problem.

I don't know what the startups are doing.
> "paying" for access wasn't an official option

Official and unofficial are two ends of a long sliding scale. Many paywalled newsites allow unlimited access if the article is accessed through links from search engines. This is an "unofficial" option. Accessing American TV shows from within China is more "unofficial".

Firewalls are set up by those who claim ownership over the people using the net; paywalls are set up by those who claim ownership over the information being accessed. Not only do both those concepts of ownership sound suspect to me, but also from the user's POV the experience of a Firewall and a paywall on the official-unofficial spectrum is the same.

Edit: By "paying" I meant paying with money (e.g. VPN's), with time (e.g. a day in HK), with guanxi (e.g. friends scaping and emailing sites), etc.
This should probably be available at the repository level too so if you've got collaborators who need to use the same responses they can be shared.

It may not all be doom and gloom. Landlords have been forcing long term leases (7 years+) on tenants to get space in the city. Once a company outgrows that space they're still on the line for that lease, so they sublease it out and not at a major discount.

Are you joking? The new title would barely be an improvement over a blank line. At best, it's poorly written clickbait (who is "he"? Why do we care?), but really it doesn't even qualify as a "title" except for where it's placed on the page. It might seem like anything would be better than a title which exaggerates the claims of the article (no, the article does not prove that he was involved in the creation of TC -- it does, however, hypothesize it), but we've somehow arrived at one which if not worse, is certainly very bad in a different way.

If dang wants to mangle the titles of articles into incoherency after they've already been on the front page for hours, that's clearly his prerogative, but let's not pretend that it's any kind of improvement. It would be easy to rewrite this title to both keep it in context and remove the factual inaccuracy. Instead, we get this.
I'm not planning on supporting return type inference since I actually don't like that feature of TypeScript, but I could be convinced otherwise. It really harmed API readability for me when I tried to use it.

All declarations in ThinScript are order-independent right now so classes are accessible everywhere simultaneously. I'm getting away with that because I'm currently requiring all global initializers to be constant. One idea I had that would allow for non-constant global initializers without really complex static analysis to determine initialization order was to initialize non-constant global variables on first access instead of on startup.

I chose "int" because I was aiming for familiarity with existing languages. I'm also planning for WebAssembly to be just one target among many targets so I don't want to align too closely with WebAssembly. Some other targets I'm considering are C, x86, Swift, and C#, for example.

It's also interesting to review old films and media from the late eighties (Gung Ho, and Die Hard). It's hard to comprehend if you didn't live through it, but there was a massive level of anxiety in the US that Japanese business culture and management prowess was going to be impossible for the US to overcome, and that th US was in decline.

> The only problem is fetching packages from a central registry (registry.npmjs.org).

As I understand and have implemented vendoring in the past, I have always thought of it as a "no external dependencies" solution. If your data center gets DDOS'd durring deployment, things should just work when the attack subsides (assuming you have access). Fetching packages from xxxx.npmjs.org would be sort of antithetical to that idea. Or am I missing something.

Everythingstays seems like it would do the job mostly, as long as the "fall back to NPM" can be shut off.

Generally, individuals with the XY genotype but the female phenotype have an additional genetic anomaly which renders them androgen insensitive. Therefore, I would say that, in most cases, the sex of an individual is fully, or at least a fully as possible, genetic. It's just not as dependent on the presence of an X or Y chromosome as one would think.

I suppose you could induce something like that by treating an embryo with finasteride or another SARM but there's a reason such drugs are in pregnancy category X. They tend to produce wider ranging and more severe defects than just changing the sex of the embryo. Hormones are complicated.

What we think of as writing is hard without the right technology. You need parchment/vellum/papyrus, and something to make ink, and something to make pens with.

None of this is trivial. And it's not obvious until someone invents it, or is told how to do it by someone else.

So you can have an alphabet - but if it's only ever engraved into rocks, that guarantees that whatever gets written is really, really important to someone, and there won't be a lot of diarising, philosophising, or gossip, or even recording of battles.

The fact that we can buy pens, paper, and digital keyboards so easily we take them for granted is actually kind of amazing.

"It uses openCV and a library of reference screenshots (with areas of interest selected to allow openQA to ignore things we don’t care about) which we call ‘needles’ ..."

OpenQA is a fascinating project. The tests are written in perl and I think the OpenCV magical stuff is around the "check_screen()" function.

For example, a test for Firefox:

x11_start_program("firefox https://html5test.com/index.html", 6, {valid => 1});

# makes firefox as default browser

if (check_screen('firefox_default_browser')) {
assert_and_click 'firefox_default_browser_yes';

I'm more referring to his effect than his intent. Call it accidental trolling.
Except without any regulation or enforcement there is no incentive or companies to care about the environmental impact.

So yes, if you do fracking nicely and care about the impact then there is no problem. The reality is that no one involved in fracking cares and it's all about the bottom line so screw the environment.

But yes, it's totally safe otherwise.

One thing I learned from this episode is that the GFW does not yet have the ability to automatically filter HTTPS traffic based on certificate signatures. Someone have suggested before and now we have some evidence that this is not the case.

What happens on ranch X may affect the groundwater on farm Y or in town Z, a few kilometers away. I have no idea about the distances involved, and presumably they vary a lot depending on a number of factors that you'd have to ask scientists about.

Ideally, you would be able to detect pollutants moseying off the property underground, just as you would cattle wandering off the ranch above ground, and your property system would work fine ("Bob, yer frackin' byproducts done cross over into mah property yesterday, an I cain't abide by that") , but presumably it's not easy.
