To amplify how desperate people were for memory, back before the Whirlwind people came up with 3D core memory they were considering among other things a microwave version of mercury delay lines, running a signal out to western Massachusetts and back.

> The other major part of what you said is assortative mating.

Assortative mating is extremely well documented and not disputed. (In fact, it's one of the most commonly employed ways of trying to debunk twin/family studies as producing wildly inflated estimate.)

> Its the whole package that will make you famous if you could truly demonstrate it.

I don't know what more you could possibly ask for. Family lineages have demonstrated overperformance since at least Galton's genealogies. The social mobility studies suggest it over many centuries. The twin and family studies show that SES is heritable. The GCTA methods which remove the assumptions of twin studies also show SES is heritable. The GWASes not just show that it's heritable, but give specific SNP hits! The package has been demonstrated. People just don't want to hear it.

> so it would also cause massive controversy

You'll note you didn't see any headlines or pop science articles on these papers.

> last time this was seriously brought up we had WWII and a genocide.

Eugenics may have been a pretext, but it certainly did not cause WWII or even the Holocaust, which can be traced to geopolitical factors (like the Versailles treaty...) and the long-standing virulent anti-semitism in the region, among many other factors.
Makes sense that my specifics would be out of date. I'm not arguing that network infrastructure will shrink; I'm observing that the scaling factors for network infrastructure investment are not nearly so favorable as the scaling factors involved in CPU or storage capacity. We can already build hardware with capabilities greatly in excess of our actual needs. When network capacity becomes a bottleneck, it will be much cheaper to take advantage of all that latent capacity at the edge than to invest many billions increasing network capacity, and we'll see yet another pendulum swing away from thin clients toward fat independent hardware devices. Then the market will change and lots of money will flood into network infrastructure, and for a few years the pendulum will swing back again. It's been going back and forth like this for decades.
It feels like this thing is tailor made for SteamOS.
For many kinds of services it can work in parallel. For example, there are ad-supported mail providers like Google, while I consciously chose a subscription-based mail provider (posteo.de) whom I trust to act in my best interest.

The only thing where this would not work so well is social networks, due to the network effect.
Build me a battery that functions well in cold temperatures and build out a fast charger network everywhere.

These cars see about a 1/3 reduction in range in the cold, and there simply aren't any supercharger stations around here. In the winter, a Model S wouldn't be able to make it to the next nearest major city from a full charge.

The Volt is a useful intermediary step between gasoline and full electric for markets where full electric vehicles simply aren't practical yet.

There is almost certainly a clause in the settlement that limits what the parties can say about the terms and each other. ie: confidential terms, non-disparagement, and specific language that can be used in response to questions about the settlement. In this case it sounds like the things they have agreed to say are that Guillory was a co-founder and the settlement was mutually agreeable.

I don't think the same issue will happen to with PHP7 because PHP7 offers performance improvements.

When talking to management or client it is useless to name any design improvements, but as soon as you mention speed they will say "yes, let's do it".

The issue with Python 3 is that the performance is not that much better.
It's a limitation of how the programming language interacts with the Windows console, and it's a mistake. If you are writing potentially-garbled strings directly to the console, there is already no guarantee that the output will properly reflect the string or e.g. copying and pasting will work correctly, because the string could include backspace characters, or a ton of newlines. Therefore it doesn't make sense to do anything other than make a 'best effort' attempt when rendering strings to the console, including with Unicode handling. If it works, great, but if the string is invalid Unicode, that's only one of multiple problematic cases, so what exactly is throwing an exception supposed to accomplish? Python should use replacement characters by default in this case.

Reading "Concurrency in Practice" and diving into these stuff is a good read for anyone doing Java. Possibly anyone doing x86 who hasn't dove down this deep before, although many lines would be boring.

On the flip side several of the "bad things" that the Java Memory Model allow won't happen on x86, and no one runs SPARC, so they are kind of moot...
Nesting selectors ties the css to your markup. These styles are not reusable components, but one-offs for that particular snippet of html. Look how bad it can get:

TypeScript, Dart, and Stanza all started attacking optional typing at around the same time.

Our approaches differ though. Stanza believes fundamentally in nominal typing as opposed to structural typing, and also views types as contracts on its behaviour rather than on its structure.

Only time will tell which approach is the best one. But we are very happy with how our design choices have panned out.

Probably not, but housing and construction are regulated pretty severely in general, and seem to attract a pedantic, bureaucratic mindset that has little to do with being the land of freedom par excellance. Buying a house is a mess of paperwork dedicated to distorting market realities; owning one can be similar. The very idea of homeowners' associations, with various bad-tempered members who have nothing better to do than look for violations, is a frightening one...
This is so fucking absvrd it is almost as bad as giving Charlie Sheen a real estate empire and a trucker hat and letting him run for president on a platform of "winning so much America might get bored".

A decade and a half later, e.g. 15 fucking years after a terrorist attack we would allow people to sue a nation state because they may have played a role. Well guys, better suit up for the inbound lawsuits you would be fielding from the entire world if this precedent was set, and if it wasn't a bizarre farcical attempt at mastubatory populism* by Chuck Schumer. Except it is just that. It will never happen, and it is rediculous. 9/11 was fucking absurd, and we still don't know what the fuck happened. I mean, I don't want to go 100% jetfuel can't melt steel beams, but tower 7 just didn't suffer any structural damage, at all. So, does it make sense for some families to sue 15 years later, a country, of which some people may have contributed to this? Nah.

It took fucking 6-7 years [and I want to be super fucking clear that I believe this and it is not sarcasm] to compile a several hundred page manual on what the fuck happened to tower 7. Tower 7, as a reresher, was the tower that spontaneously dropped to the floor and did the worm even though it didn't get hit by that plane that crashed in pennsylvania. So, if you can't figure out why tall buildings are falling down after 3/4 of a decade, how the fuck are you going to let people sue a nationstate for the actions of individuals and not only prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, but then apply some sort of metric to this to quantify it financially.

Shockingly, Chuck Schumer is up for reelection in 2016. Also, as an aside (and this was true when I did the math a couple months ago) more people died from the auto-erotic asphyxiation than were either killed or rendered severely handicapped from the Zika virus.

WTF is going on.

* Sean Penn said a phrase like this and I fucking love it.

edit: While the downvotes make sense, I challenge someone to disprove the following:

* This is strictly political posturing by Chuck Schumer and will never pass & was never inteneded to.

* The concept of holding a country responsible for something like this, if applied to America, would certainly outweigh any positive it would have for the families of 9/11 victims.

* Tower 7 was fucking pulled. I know it. The core of engineers know it. And the fundamental laws of physics demand it.
It seems to me that your problem comes from your current role, not necessarily your current company. So: How's your relationship with your current boss? Could you go to him/her and say, "I'm bored. Can you give me something more advanced to do? Something that's not just the same old stuff? If you can't because my skills aren't good enough, what do I need to learn, and how could I go about learning it (on the company's dime, if possible)?"

Some bosses might label you as "dis-satisfied" and plan to get rid of you. Some might classify you as "motivated" and try to help you become more than you are.
Except that they had a more modular device booting on stage a year ago.

In the other places in the US that I've visited or lived in, similar situations happened (e.g. University owned housing vs private student housing in the exact same building treated very differently).

Perhaps one of the causes is that every place gets to make its own regulations, classifications etc. -- not just how to zone, but what zoning means, what categories there are, etc.
I think OEM's pushed Google a bit, not wanting to kill the upgrade cycle. One sign for that is the non-removable battery - which is easy to do technically.

My 2008 Macbook died in March, that triggered me to mostly use my 2013 Pixel for dev. Although I do have an 27 iMac at home.

My dev is mostly Web Dev + GCP and moving to Firebase (canonically all front end dev). Hence even though I have Ubuntu via Crouton, I rarely need a local Fuse file system. For node work and CLI work I spin up a GCP VM. The VM costs about $13 per month, but I turn the VM off and pay pennies for storage.

Call me strange but I actually like that change. Not because I enjoy typing more, but because invalid syntax errors on print is an unambiguous warning that whatever code I just downloaded and ran is incompatible with 2.x

Without that, there may be other much more subtle bugs I'd have missed and spent time troubleshooting.
If someone brings up blaming zoning laws on PC culture is it not appropriate to address the cutting of an excessively wide cloth to pin onto "PC" behavior?
If Guillory has undiluted 50% ownership of Cruise - he surely must have made a bank. Anywhere from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

An interesting example that doesn't seem to match the issue of yelling free-speech through a megaphone at 3AM in a crowded apartment block. (It's not national-security, and the only life being preserved is probably your own.)
Yes, but that exists in other places as well (usually zoning is done locally -- in Germany it's on the city or county level). However, the different categories and what zoning can do vs. what it can't do (preserve 'character' / quality of life/ etc. yes. Discriminate against specific industries/groups/etc not so much.) are decided on a more global level (which also makes the process somewhat more transparent). I believe there are still facilities for local exceptions etc ( e.g. All houses in this street are a certain brick colour, and that has to be preserved), but these are more an exception than a norm.

Your data for this is... ? I would guess that a majority of private schools are parochial/religious in orientation and actually spend less per student than nearby public schools (partially due to payrolls).
> From your own source - the peak was Jan 1978, around $22/hr

1973 for the broad, cross-industry peak. (1978 was the peak for wages restricted to manufacturing.)

> which was a small blurb.

Both the broader and manufacturing measures were above their present levels at least a decade (nearly two for the manufacturing measure you fixated on) around their peak.

> And even the 2014 rate of $19/hr is higher than all but a few years in that entire chart.

Its lower than 1971-1989.

> Since 2014, real wages have increased (see BLS data) and are still increasing.

Anyone want to speculate about how much YC & Vogt just lost? They acknowledged him as cofounder based on a document in which he's listed as 50% owner; such a concession sounds like a complete victory for Guillory, implying he still owns 50% of the initial equity, and Cruise was bought for $1b. But presumably as cofounder he would have been diluted equally by the YC and any other subsequent investments. YC only takes 1.5%, IIRC, which is fairly negligible, but Cruise did 4 rounds according to https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/cruise#/entity . So how much of that $1b did Vogt wind up getting? And does it come out of Guillory's share entirely? (That wouldn't make sense, since Guillory might not even have 50% left.)

> 1. Public perception of a contentious disagreement where both sides levied serious accusations and reputations may be relevant in future business dealings.

That sounds exactly like why they said "we've reached a mutually-agreeable compromise." Now neither party will be negatively affected in future business dealings.

Who cares? They have a billion dollars from General Motors. GM itself is a big enough company that opinions on HN don't matter and won't affect the sales of their final product.

They defused a difficult set of complaints in a mutually-agreeable fashion without involving the courts. That's good business. As outsiders, we are not in any involved with them, and probably shouldn't spend any time caring, except to take away one lesson: talk your differences over and reach an amicable agreement. Don't invent drama when none is required!
Correct. And charging a "small" amount to gather requirements is a quick and easy way for the consultant to determine if the potential customer is a good fit. A customer that understand that spec work takes time and resources and is willing to pay for the work is also a potential client that will, when they make change requests or feature/scope creep, understand that they should/will be paying for those on top of what the spec says. Everyone is correct that the author is losing business by working the way he does... but he's okay with that because he's cares more about client/customer fit (and quality) than work volume.
I think that if this project succeeds, it will be as a standard phone you plug into a lot of different devices.

Yeah, the YC application is merely evidence of a contract rather than a contract itself, but it's pretty smoking gun evidence. Why would you write there is a 50-50 split on your YC application if it wasn't true?

You raise a really good question. Credit cards are confusing by design. Many people don't have the time to optimize how they pay their cards.

The Tally algorithm absorbs all this complexity and recommends whatever is in your best interest.

1. With the fact pattern you've provided, there are situations where Tally would only pay the Statement Balance (the smaller amount you mention) so that you can take advantage of your card's grace period.

But if you are not in grace with a card (meaning you haven't paid 100% of your Statement Balances for the previous 2 consecutive statement periods), Tally will suggest paying more/all of the Statement Balance to minimize your interest charges.

Bottom line: Tally is really smart and mathematically suggests whatever is in your best interest.

2. To see if Tally makes sense for you, its a soft pull and then a hard pull to actually open a Tally account.

I study the neuroscience of episodic memory. Episodic memory requires one shot learning critically dependent on the hippocampus which is posited to use operations of pattern separation (to reduce intereference for distinct memories with similar features) and completion ( retrieve whole from partial input of features) to encode and retrieve bound representations, respectively. Prior to the hippocampus are operations that detect feature novelty in the perirhinal cortex. In contrast to these functions is the slow learning of the neocortex which supports semantic memory. Episodic and semantic memory funcions are intertwined in a complex way.

Seems to my mind that deep learning is the cortex, and the binding function is the hippocampus. Add some executive control functions to guide learning strategically and it will start sounding eery.
This is the game-changer the last 3 billion need.

There are limits to compression. The fuel-air mix will combust spontaneously if you compress it too much.

So that's why max compression ratio is something like ten. So a normal engine has compression of ten and expansion of ten.

A more efficient engine with a different cycle might still have compression of ten but expansion goes up to say eleven. This means it's possible to extract more power at the end of the power stroke.

There are some tricks to achieve that. Toyota does it by creating an engine with a geometry that would otherwise have very high compression and expansion ratio, but they can avoid the high compression ratio: they don't close the intake valves when the cylinder has been sucked in full of fresh air, like in a normal engine. They keep them open so at the start of the compression cycle, fresh air flows backwards out of the cylinder for a while, before they close the valves.
