Is that saying affect of (income, marital status and education) on experienced happiness < affect of (income, marital status and education) on satisfaction, or is it saying affect of (income, marital status and education) on experienced happiness < affect of (satisfaction) on experienced happiness ?
Oh, and the incubation time can be extremely long. A burger you ate 5 years ago could've been infected but it could still be years before you begin showing signs. I remember reading a bit about some connection between prions and dementia in elderly individuals but I don't remember any of the details.

One sci-fi horror series had an episode where the plot was that some mass produced chickens were getting ill because the feed was made from other chickens and they eventually discovered that it involved a prion that was dangerous to humans as well. This was discovered after massive numbers of those chickens had been consumed in large quantities by society.

VW is not in the same situation in the U.S. though. They have a lot of competition (they're not even in the top 10), so if they didn't do it in the the EU, but cheated on the U.S. models, there would be vastly differing output levels, signaling a discrepancy between the two models.

> what kind of database drivers can I use in conjunction with this?

Usually synchronous database drivers have to be reimplemented in an asynchronous fashion to work with event loops. It's not very hard though, could be as simple as adding jump tables and context structures into synchronous functions.

Emulating asynchronous execution with a thread is ok too. You do that to access filesystem anyway.

But if your first thought is about accessing a database server - you probably don't need to go asynchronous at all.

There's no question?

I understand on "the Native American problem" he was faced with an untenable status quo and even worse ideas from the states in question. However, solving it by negotiating with largely unrecognized leaders, then forcibly relocating ethnic populations across the country in exchange for dubious reimbursement for their native and sovereign land doesn't exactly seem a moral solution.

It certainly could have gone worse had the states had their ways, but his solution wasn't exactly a paragon of ethical behavior.
They can do cost/benefit analysis. They don't have to pay themselves 15% of the price including shipping in fees, they have good relationships with cheap overseas manufacturers (in China you pay literally pennies for plastic stuff in large quantities) utilizing economy of scales, they know the exact demand/sales of their competitor/"partner", probability they can convert competitor's sales into their own sales, control the visibility on their platform etc. I am sure they make larger profit than what they would get by taking a cut from a 3rd party seller. Or they are irrational, which I don't believe.

I work as a linux admin professionally and work with four different distros on a daily basis. Simply, I don't have enough time to fix every fucking issue that happens on my operating system that prevents something from being installed. And this happens constantly.

If someone has a solution that works for many, I will try that, then bitch when it doesn't work, then use the competency you think I don't have to fix it.

I spent a summer pumping out septic tanks (good money, but not a job I'd choose again), and didn't notice any such difference -- rich sht smelled like poor sht. (though the wealthier customers tended to have more non-degradable bits in the sludge, I guess they didn't care as much about keeping their septic system healthy by taking care about what they flushed).

One customer called us after their son flushed all of his legos down the toilet, we had to suck them out of the drainfield cleanouts too, not sure how they made it that far since legos tend to sink. There must have been thousands of pieces, he must have worked long and hard on flushing them.

Well, I'd object to the idea that even a careful human team in production can hit 100%. In domains where the human "gold standard" is somehow falsifiable (that is, not tautologically correct as in some judgment call situations), it always ends up being a numbers game until the humans can no longer provide 100%.

It's kind of frustrating when you're trying to sell ML-based solutions to a skeptic. I've found that executives will often try to poke holes in the predictions, especially if the ML solution is risky or potentially threatening to them.

It helps a lot to frame things with a known human error rate and cost, as the Data Scientist in the story does, because then the conversation becomes win-win (how do we optimize for best outcomes) rather than unwinnable (why isn't your fancy ML algorithm right about this example X which I can plainly see myself is wrong??).
>and I'm not sure whether the immune system can be trained to attack only prions and not their regular protein equivalents.

I don't think the installer problem will ever get better, though the portable software idea would make things better as the application wouldn't be scattered all over the place.

Its why I stick everything in a container now, as then I don't care what software does to its filesystem, and I only push what directories I want it to have into it. This also lets me run multiple versions of software when the software does not normally support that.

How do we know that this isn't what Amazon is doing? Maybe they're not doing it with the specific product in the original post, but they're not directly manufacturing all the products under their brand. They're going to some supplier/manufacturer.

Private label manufacturing deals are as secretive as possible so the owner of the market (in this case, Amazon) can change the supplier when it suits them giving them leverage in the negotiation. I'd bet you can find that exact AmazonBasics cable you just bought from the same supplier with a different name on Amazon, too.

Human tendency is to always find somebody else to fix the blame on.

I know a lot of friends from school who would blame teachers for failing in tests and exams. They didn't get too far in life.

I hate Andrew Jackson, and it's too bad he's going instead of Hamilton. I'd be all for replacing every statue of Jackson across the nation with, say, Tubman, but the one place where Jackson should stay is the money: it was long a snide reminder that if the central bank gets too out of hand in shoveling money into the faces of the wealthy at the expense of the people, a populist president could rise and take them down.

It's rather telling that we are going to lose this symbolism.

I would be for erecting a giant statue of Jackson in front of the federal reserve building in dc.

I'm not offended by it, and they are somewhat funny, but your examples just feel lazy to me. They're just very basic wordplay, and not particularly clever. I think there are a lot of comics who use offensive topics to spice up mediocre jokes, but adding an offensive element doesn't actually make the humor better. You might attract an audience because of the shock value, but I don't know that it's the sort of thing that's going to keep an audience long-term.

Nothing wrong with incorporating offensive subjects in comedy, but there needs to be more meat to it.
ASIO can be used standalone with any C++11 compiler and the compile times are quite good.

If I should make a guess then I'd say that the original author of that part of the library either started before ASIO was standalone and/or simply has a hatred for boost (which would be unwarranted), or he/she was simply more experienced with libevent...

IMHO it's quite sad that they didn't use ASIO though as it's far more extensive.

> Emulating asynchronous execution with a thread is ok too

Straying away from the topic, but I used to support a file streaming library for the game studio I worked with, and while this approach worked, some things were not gracefully handled - for example canceling reading in the middle, or somehow giving all your I/O requests to the underlying system, so it can decide what's the best way to read them (aio?).
It sounds like you have a conscience, so be careful not to make the mistake of thinking two wrongs make a right :) You still have to live with your decisions in your own mind all your life, even if you never get caught. Some people literally don't have that "problem".
I think all the comments asserting that somehow "dark humor" is no longer acceptable in this age of political correctness have it precisely wrong. I give Louis CK as example #1. Louis is arguably one of the darkest comedians that has ever existed. In fact, he's almost not even doing comedy anymore sometimes, he's pushing into really profoundly dark existential territory and then occasionally allowing the audience to come up for air. If you've followed along with his whole career, you've seen his jokes evolve to where he's "punching down" less and less, and now almost not at all. But his humor is no less dark for it, it's MORE dark for it. It drives the bus straight into the strange and absurd and uncomfortable parts of the human experience and parks it right there. I can't find the interview right now, but he talks a lot about how having to get rid of the easy "shock/offend" jokes has made him a much better comic.

If what you are looking for is jokes about mentally handicapped people and lesbians, you can always turn on the morning show of your choice in most major American cities. To me, that's not dark humor, it's dumb humor.
What's funny is that they suggest adding a sleep in the script so that it can be detected as a delay in byte stream delivery, but if you really want to know if the script is being executed and by what, you could literally just have the first line of the script make an http request with whatever meta data you want.
And even then, is 7% supposed to be a little or a lot? They say "hundreds of hours of dieting & exercising" but really that only affects an hour a day, maybe? I'd say that if I could spend 1 hour a day and get a 7% gain in happiness, it probably is worth it.

And perhaps there are other activities that require 1 hour that result in a 7% increase. Say: reading, socializing, writing. Then you've got 4 hours a day and get a 1.07^4 = 1.31 or 31% increase in happiness.

Isn't that GOOD? I'd say that's AWESOME.
>which means total compensation for the first year is actually closer to $123,000

No, $172,000 is the median for year 1. Even $200k+ total comp at year 1 is typical for Google in the bay.

The significant increases in bonus pay for higher levels reflect stock vesting for year 2/3/4/5 employees.

I can almost guarantee Roth IRA holders will get screwed in the future. At least 401k holders got a tax break on the front end. Also, most middle class workers have at least something in a 401k, especially since companies are moving towards an opt-out model on 401ks. Relatively few Americans use Roth IRAs and most are "high" income types.

Politically, it will be a slam-dunk to tax the crap out of money coming out of Roth IRAs in the future.

I think what was meant is that on the grand scale of "aliveness" viruses are more alive than prions. Viruses have DNA, they actively seek out host cells to hijack so they can reproduce, etc. Prions are much simpler and aren't alive at all. They're just accidentally self-reproducing patterns, basically. They don't have DNA, they don't make any specific effort to reproduce, they just "happen" from weirdly broken matter bumping together.
If the vast majority of buildings used "negative" power (that is that they generated more back into the grid then they took out) due to small scale power generation on premises, then the net effect may not dictate a need for a grandiose centralized solution.

When people compare say a million homes power needs, which is about 1000Gwh/month, in the non-distributed systems you need a 1000Gwh/month solution (think nuclear). However, this hypothetical 4-fold increase in efficiency would need only 7 solar panel (1.6m x 1m) per house for a net zero need distributed system.

If the right market incentives were there, and in a future market anticipating the swanson curve, someone may install say 25 panels (18 in excess of their need) to generate monthly passive income ("fans" of solar have 30+ panels)

Under this model, someone would be powering their house and two of their neighbors.

You can see how this can add up with the right market structure.

My argument is that in a world of a free-market entrepreneurial energy, you won't need a centralized power generator capable of powering 1 million homes. In fact, you may not need centralized power generation at all.

The future problems aren't going to be in power generation, but in storage.

People (even those who reject Marxism) ought to recognize the fact that money is the crystallization of labor, nothing more, nothing less.

"Because the bombardment of pseudo-realities begins to produce inauthentic humans very quickly, spurious humans—as fake as the data pressing at them from all sides. My two topics are really one topic; they unite at this point. Fake realities will create fake humans. Or, fake humans will generate fake realities and then sell them to other humans, turning them, eventually, into forgeries of themselves. So we wind up with fake humans inventing fake realities and then peddling them to other fake humans. It is just a very large version of Disneyland.

From the info section:

Why do ships sometimes appear to move across land?
In some cases this is because there are ships navigating via canals or rivers that aren’t visible on the map. Generally, though, this effect is an artefact of animating a ship between two recorded positions with missing data between, especially when the positions are separated by a narrow strip of land. We may develop the map to remove this effect in the future.
It looks like the last graph has Google and Facebook mixed up.

> Every single thing you said is complete hogwash and you have provided zero evidence to backup any of your poorly formed opinions...

The evidence is obvious if you read the article about Intel cutting 11% of it's global workforce which is a big deal. This was due to the declining PC business which for Intel is primarily part of the Windows ecosystem and the need to restructure to focus on mobile, IoT and servers which is part of the Linux/UNIX ecosystem of devices.

> To begin with, Intel didn't lose an opportunity to get a lead in mobile because of their views on Linux/UNIX. None of the players today have a "lead" in mobile because of Unix. They have a lead because of the touch-based front-end. It wouldn't have mattered what that was running on.

Microsoft pushed it's Windows first strategy which meant focusing on laptops/desktops and Intel's core devices business was tied deeply into this strategy after years of close collaboration. All of the Windows based mobile devices failed miserably. Microsoft struggled to port Windows to ARM which didn't work that well. This didn't leave any real opportunity for Intel to get into mobile in the early days, it had to choose between it's relationship with Microsoft or breaking out into a new direction and embracing other partners and it did not do this.

Even if you look at the ultrabook that was a byproduct of Intel's work with Apple on the MacBook. That kind of innovation just wasn't possible with Microsoft because their strategy was contrary to where the market was headed. There was a huge opportunity to push a Linux based mobile/desktop hybrid but Intel never made an effort to move into that direction.

> Furthermore, Windows is responsible for creating numerous multi-billion dollar industries and Windows obviously holds a ton of value for businesses that Linux can't even compete with. That's why just about every business runs Windows and not Linux.

In the past it "created" value but that's irrelevant to businesses as they are concerned with future value. This is what Intel is doing here in their restructuring re-focusing away from "what things were 5 years ago" to "where things are now and where they are going".

> The willfully obliviousness of nix fanboys like you is boring.

Like I said in my earlier comment, there is this irrational defensive thought process when it comes to Windows and you demonstrate that perfectly.
