Trust me, there are people in China and around the world working against the Chinese government specifically (you can spot some of them as the new accounts created just to add accusations as replies to my comment) that create very good rumours that look very genuine.

They put in much more efforts into crafting their speeches in order to make them look real and trick people into believing in them, nothing like the April Fool's joke. Hence it is a very difficult task to fight rumours in China, especially when people are having trust issues with the government.

Ug, this is so pedantic. What I meant was he is stupid, I was just trying to sound nicer. Anyway, no worries if you disagree. I don't think remaining in power for life is as stress free and happy as you imply. I imagine those who seek such control don't realize this until they've cornered themselves into an intractable position. If you give up control as a dictator, there's no guarantee you're set or even safe for life. I'm sure that is concerning to realize that when you've surrounded yourself with forced fake friends, they might not have your back when you don't provide anything for them anymore.
Side projects also help diversify your perspective. As a founder, I don't want people who are 100% invested in one thing. It sounds good at first, but you run into burnout and narrow-mindedness very quickly.

How can you be expected to see your product, company, mission, etc. as part of a larger world if it is your entire world? Most people I meet in SV cannot, and a large part appears to be what percent of their life is wrapped up in their work.

Anyone trying to use Perl6 should use MoarVM backend, which was the only supported one for Christmas release.

Perl6 test suite is massive, you can't "break it with a patch", a commit like that would've been reverted.
Content ID was created because Google wanted Hollywood content and Hollywood wanted to externalize costs.

Copyright in the context of the internet has costs that can only be paid by innocent people. It will either have many false positives or many false negatives. So the question is whether those costs should be paid by the innocent people who benefit from the system that created those costs or the innocent people who don't.
Soviet Union resource allocation was performed by central planning committee instead of markets. The result of that is known.

With good financial system the resource allocation is same as capital allocation. Good capital allocation is not possible without transparent and liquid markets. Transparent and liquid market depends on its biggest players - institutional investors, banks and their regulators. Hence the banking system is huge wealth provider. Otherwise we would be living under communism now.

Weird thing to say, considering that this "feature" goes to alter the conversation. No matter what the UI changes other, the primary tenet is to not alter and obfuscate the conversation. So, from this point of view, they actually messed with the core feature of the app: sending and receiving emails/messages, without alteration to the message.

It's a fundamental problem with IP-based reputation. Same goes for VPNs where there isn't a specific list of hosts you can whitelist.

Telnet is perhaps the internet's debugger.

While the most common use was to access a CLI Somewhere, most of the "traditional" internet protocols can be operated via telnet.

Note btw that there is no login needed to access this "joke". Just enter the address and presto.

SSH is a single use tool in comparison.

No, WUWT has no authority because nobody on this site is a climate scientist

> That's why I picked an article that specifically quotes and references the IPCC AR5 itself

No, you quoted an article where someone interpreted what the IPCC said. You didn't quoted anything from the IPCC. And that was your claim

US citizens do not need a visa to travel to Canada for business visits. According to [1], client meetings are specifically allowed. You cannot do 'hands-on labour' though, so it can be a fine line that you must have crossed.

As a Canadian, I once travelled to the US to assist a client with integration for a week. I got pulled into secondary questioning. He asked one question about what I was doing in the States, and then spent a few more minutes grilling me about what exactly the first level agent had asked me, how I had answered, et cetera. I could tell he was preparing to ream out the first level agent for wasting his time...

Well, I got a job as a Head of Software Development at one company with a great team and it's pretty hard. It's a great experience but I'm sad as I don't have much time to read and learn about topics I'm interested in. For example, Graph theory. I'm amazed with the topic but I just can't afford reading about it more than half an hour per day.

I could say it's "okayish".

They have a very reasonably priced parts purchase and assembly service. Basically you give them your design, BOM and money, and they send you back complete assembled boards.

Edit:

There are a couple ways to become president, and only one of them is through an election. Article 2 talks about "eligibility", but says nothing on term limits. Amendment XII only says "eligible" again. Amendment XXII brings up term limits, but only says "elected", never "eligible".

There's a "but obviously..." reply to be made, but I see plenty of opportunity to play word games here.

How DuckDuckGo is trying to help programmers
It's a form of lip service that that society (until now) has chosen to pay to its orthodox minority.

It may seem unusual if you're from the U.S... but the (at least nominally) strict equivalence of religious beliefs and communities under the law we have (and take for granted) here is, on the world stage, actually a very peculiar thing, indeed.
You drink it, pee it, clean it, and put back on the wall.
The low price especially concerns me since that means they're targeting high volume sales. A great question is what will become of the millions of batteries 5, 10, 15 years from now.

https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/mythbusters-part-3-recyclin...

Goes in to some detail but basically states, we have some good ideas, but our fallback is the land fill since these batteries etc are considered non toxic. Still: sourcing, building, recycling, and disposing of these batteries seems like a giant problem that is hard to believe is environmentally sound

GHC gives you none of the guarantees Kmett keeps boasting about.
You'd be able to make a blog post without annotations accusing you of disseminating misinformation and suppressing free thought, for one.

I think you're severely overrating the quality of Internet comments too, and with these annotations there isn't even a report feature available to help clean them up. Genius.
it winds up being about the same. you need a pointer-wide atomic compare-and-swap (CAS) to swap out the function pointer safely.

on x86_64, a pointer-wide value is 8 bytes, which is enough space to put some instructions that detour to another function. so it's a question of whether you CAS the global function pointer, or the first 8 bytes of the function.

the "atomic CAS" part means you don't benefit from caching either, since you need to make sure the write is globally visible or threads on different cores will do different things. this kind of trickery combines two terrible things: reasoning about virtual method invocation (essentially) and lock-free programming techniques. have fun!
Yes, it's the side effects and real world changes to outgoing mails that is just beyond stupid and uncharacteristically bad even for Google April Fool's jokes. I don't even understand how the mere idea could be approved. It's like if they got an intern to "come up with something fun".
What is this? I can't make sense of any of it (is it because I'm on mobile)?
I don't think it does.

The classic explorer was a "seventh son" in the age of primogenture. Or they were just plain crazy.

The generation that got us to the moon wasn't that young even at the time. Gene Krantz would have been 30 in 1963. Since life expectancy was lower then and people didn't stay in school until they were 30, 30 was the start of middle age.

Krantz, like my parents, was Silent Generation, and they had a different idea about technology in general.

Please understand that "youth culture" was originally designed by Big Tobacco to sell cigarettes - spend more on ads for youth because they'll smoke your brand for 40 years. Then it was music/movies, then soda and shoes. Now it's phones.

In these things, you are at a poker game. If you don't know who the sucker is at a poker game, you're it.
Yeah, I don't know what was going on there. You don't need a visa for short business stays or for visiting if you're from the US. You must have worded something in a way that they thought you needed a temporary work visa, which is what the LMO would have been for. This is weird.

I really enjoy my line of work, but sometimes the day-to-day work just isn't very creative so every few months I take some time to build a small project that has zero potential to be a "startup".

The official city website was terrible, I'll get to have the joy of using it because it was something I wanted, and I learned a few new things about WordPress which is what I work in for my primary job.

I disagree about her being moderate compared to Trump. I fully intend to vote for Trump if it comes down to a race between Trump and her, because in my view, Trump is far more moderate than Hillary. As you said, Hillary is a war hawk, and I believe she'll start another war in the middle east. Trump, by contrast (despite all his crazy rhetoric about building a wall etc.), has preached non-intervention for the most part, not starting unnecessary wars, and really pissed off the Republican establishment by calling Bush's Iraq war "stupid". I don't believe he'll start a needless war. He might do a bunch of other things, but to me that's a big enough factor that I'll vote for him over Hillary. Add in the plain fact that she's sold out to Goldman Sachs and the private prison industry and Trump really looks quite reasonable by comparison.

Of course, my preferred choice is Bernie, but with how plainly and obviously corrupt the DNC is, I don't have a lot of hope of him getting the Dem nomination and running in the general election. Maybe things will go totally haywire and both Bernie and Trump will get pissed and run as independents after the establishment railroads them both, and then we'll have a 4-way race.
