Seven U.S. states currently don't have an income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. And residents of New Hampshire and Tennessee are also spared from handing over an extra chunk of their paycheck on April 15, though they do pay tax on dividends and income from investments.
It's not necessarily great. But for a variety of reasons, the momentum has been in SF's favor as the world's dominant technology hub.

We might wonder what will happen this momentum is deflected. Technical talent will disperse, and we'll end up with a more distributed workforce? Or will it simply concentrate somewhere else?

Right now, the Bay Area is in an extremely enviable position: it has a high concentration of extremely profitable companies; it has a high concentration of highly skilled workers; it has a high concentration of wealth; and, except for housing, it's a desirable place to live.

The Bay Area's residents and local governments oshould be able to leverage these positive factors to maintain the strong economy while making the area a better place to live for skilled workers who want to set down roots and raise families. Of course, it's more likely that nothing will happen and living conditions will become less and less sustainable.

Interesting there is no mention of the Boro (Green) taxis. 6,000 medallions were released in 2013 (with plans to release another 6,000 a year for a total of 18,000.) That's a large swing on the supply side compared to the ~13K yellow taxis that I think would also have an impact on the 2010 onwards trips graph. http://toddwschneider.com/data/taxi/taxi_uber_lyft_trips_per...
All the more reason why the US government shouldn't be running mass surveillance programs. You may trust the US government with your data, but what if they can't protect your data once they've obtained it?

Do you trust the Chinese government with your personal information? How about organized crime groups with the resources to hire expert black-hats?

We're talking about people who haven't done anything wrong, and aren't suspected of any wrongdoing. Innocent people are having private data gathered without their consent (and arguably in violation of the constitution) by people who have had a series of embarrassing security blunders in recent years.

You might argue that the NSA has tighter security standards than the OPM and whichever departments were compromised in this attack. In response to that, I'd point out that Edward Snowden was only a contracter, and shouldn't have had access to the information he leaked to the press. Clearly security wasn't that great at the NSA.

I know, my point is that there doesn't seem to be a part of the system in which the two sports are weighted against, and one consistently outweights the other one.

Many Windows commands use "/" to introduce options (much like most Unix commands use "-"). Since the default command shell doesn't require whitespace after the command name and permits options to follow other arguments, it would be difficult to use "/" as a directory separator in all cases.

Wikipedia disagrees with you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_taxation

Specifically, double-taxation is when you pay taxes twice on the SAME earnings. Take the example of a US citizen living abroad in a country with lower income taxes. They will have to pay foreign as well as US income taxes: two like, you point out, rather than one. But the IRS agrees that double-taxation is mean, so they give you a foreign tax credit for the tax you've already paid. You pay an amount to the IRS to make up the difference in income tax. If it were double-taxation you would have to pay the full US income tax on the money you earned, after already having paid the full foreign income tax on it as well.

(Note I've been talking about plain-vanilla income, it's a whole new ball-game if you think about other investment income.)
There's no need for that. Build a little bit up in a lot of places, and you'll start meeting the demand. In a few places, you can build up more, but look at, say, Paris. The density doesn't come from massive skyscrapers, but by being fairly dense all over.

Also: SF's refusal to build is having repercussions elsewhere, like here in Oregon where there is a steady stream of people who can't afford a house for their family in the bay area. In turn, they're pricing out people here, and so on.

Also, there's nothing 'extreme' about the population density of San Francisco. Density in Paris is 21,000/km^2 and in SF, 7,124/km^2
Or just offer different sets of phonemes for different languages (and allow easy switching). You don't need any commonality across languages.

Not really. A lot has been spent on combustion engine efficiency, for instance. I drive a twelve-year-old Renault Megane, not a wasteful car at all at its time, but new ones consume at least 30 % less gasoline.
But my point is, if the network believes with the most confidence that this is tennis, shouldn't it answer it's not soccer in the next one? Or at least with a hugely less confident answer? The fact that it answers like that makes me think it is not a very stable source of question answering.

Considering that you can fill up the Volt with gasoline for long-term trips, that's a major plus for me.

You get the battery for daily usage, and the electric generator for long trips. That's a lot more practical than waiting 30 minutes every ~200 miles on the supercharger network. GM has utterly solved the "range anxiety" problem entirely, with only a 40-mile electric battery.

> Tasers didn’t always work on flakka users. And talking them down never did. Deputies had to wrestle users to the ground, punching them to gain control, Tianga said. The official protocol was to attack and attack hard. It looked brutal.

Bad assumption. However, branch protection sounds cool. Will investigate it.

No. That's not how it works.
My only issue with Gitlab is that the entire product initially started off as a completely ripoff of Github.

The Volt isn't really an EV, it's a hybrid. The Volt battery's estimated range is less than my daily commute, so I'd end up using a mix of battery and gas, just like my Prius does.
Vitriol really? Because I said "BS"? It certainly wasn't meant to be vitriolic, I didn't think there was anything abusive in my post. Exasperation? Yes. Cynicism. Ditto.
Very true. I read Plato's Timmeus for a music theory class once and noticed that along the way of explaining his version of music theory, he also--from first principles only--deduced the existence of fundamental particles. He didn't call then protons, neutrons, and electrons, obviously. Be he got the basic idea correct: that all the things that exist are fundamentally built from the same things.

My mind was constantly being blown in that class.
Prior to 2 minutes ago, I had no idea you could lock down a branch in github. We have folks working on our codebase, and the team wants to enforce code-reviews for anything that goes into our master branch. To enforce this, only a few people have push access.

This is similar to the open-source maintainer model.
He clearly doesn't understand the point - the point is that those founders have 10% of the coin, great control over the market and they've not had to pay (in the sense of PoW or cash) to get that control.

Nothing about what he said prevents this at all. It's still a pump and dump scheme, just longer term.

Basically they solved the most minor part of the pre-mine problem and claim they solved the whole issue.

It's not a binary thing, and it's why mortality is measured with LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of exposed subjects). The actual distribution is a curve spanning a spectrum of venom resistance.

The snake eliminates more mice with lesser resistance than mice with greater resistance, and over time, the mice with higher resistance have more offspring.

This is more of an adaptation driven change than a random mutation driven one.

How is it possible I didn't know that? Thank you. Does anyone know the history of it? I did a little research:

* I found someone asking the same question as me in 2005 (!) [1]

* Per someone on Stack Overflow: "/ can be used as a path separator at the API level, but you aren't calling the API directly. You're using cmd.exe, and cmd.exe parses the / as a command line option" [2]

* Later in the same Stack Overflow discussion someone performs a series of tests on Vista, with some inconsistent results. [2]

* Here's a history by veteran Microsoft developer Larry Osterman, which takes us back to the developers of MS-DOS and also mentions other undocumented ways MS-DOS can/could be made Unix friendly. [3]

It's not really. Elastic Beanstalk is about dynamic provisioning of virtual machines from AMI images. It doesn't solve the security maintenance issue, for one.
You mean you're not surprised that a machine with 8 GPUs, apparently costing $129k USD (from comment below), can outperform a single CPU? :)

(Of course, a better metric is that it's getting ~56x the performance at probably ~10x the TDP, but that's not surprising for a GPU with the current state of deep learning code.)

To their credit, the thermal and power engineering needed to get that dense a compute deployment is challenging. (bt, dt, have the corpses of power supplies to show for it.) But the price means that it's going to be limited to hyper-dense HPC deployments by companies that don't have the resources to engineer their own for substantially less money, such as Facebook's Big Sur design: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1687861518126048/facebook-to... . And, of course, the academics and hobbyists will continue to use consumer GPUs , which give much better performance/$ but aren't nearly as HPC-friendly.
The problem is deeply nested directory structures and sanely named directories. I got around this limitation at one job by mapping a drive deep into the directory structure, but it meant people going to the root on the network file server couldn't access the content I could (I used this work around because someone else had already done it and was cleaning it up).

The directory structure made some sense, that is, it was sane and rational. But it should've been split across several network drives to keep things shallower given the limitation.
Some interesting issues happening as a result of it. I pushed a new branch about 10 minutes ago now, and even though I can access it directly using a URL it's not displaying on the website. When I do access it though, it appears that it doesn't realise that the branch exists [1].

I leased a Volt for 3 years and loved it. I still don't understand why anybody would want a Tesla over a Volt for anything other than a fashion statement.

The Volt was excellent and really just needed some refinement on the interior consoles. Drove well. Had great pickup. Unlimited range via gas generator that gets 37 mpg if you need to take it more than the battery's 40 miles.

Love that car and still miss it.

You could just as well say the Ford Mustang solves the range anxiety problem by relying on gas. Making a gas-powered vehicle isn't solving range anxiety, because the range anxiety problem relates to electric vehicles. The Volt is a hybrid, like the Prius. Hybrids never had range anxiety associated with them.
