Depends on what you mean by "parse". If all you want is to search a document that is known to be well-formed, find an element that meets a few criteria, and grab a value out of that element, you can sometimes get away with using regex to find a substring that "looks right" without actually parsing the document.
Running your document through an actual parser gives you access to more information about the structure of the document and the context of the elements of interest. Actually parsing your input is therefore more robust to unexpected variations than any of the superficially-cheaper alternatives that people try.

I would agree the CIA is a reason, but I think it's faulty to call it the reason.

There are several factors at play, including European colonialism of the early 20th century, as well as the tendency to split countries in a divided fashion (e.g. India & Pakistan) as countries divested of those interests.

Beating ZX Spectrum Game “Logo: Part 1” with Picat
Found out on PH yesterday. Really interesting.
First, I realize I'm in "engineer mode" which is a point where I think about solutions without considering the politics. So I don't expect this to ever happen, that said I can walk through my reasoning here.

The GP exposed a very wide price difference between apartments on the lower floors and the ones on the upper floors. So the problem statement (in isolation) was "recapture value of upper level apartments" and the reasoning there was that in developed countries upper floor apartments seem more valuable than lower floor ones.

The primary reason for this price discrepancy was power outages and then a non-functioning elevator.

So electricity generation is pretty well known, and the costs are modest, the questions are implementation vs environment.

Generators are available that run on a wide variety of fuels, unlike vehicles you can readily run them on gasoline, diesel, bio-diesel, alcohol, propane, or natural gas (methane).

As the use would be intermittent (assuming the power is available most of the time) any process that slowly accumulated fuel for the generators could be consumed during periods of need. If rationing petroleum products make them unusable collecting waste oil from restaurants to make bio diesel might be an option, or fermenting the trimmings from doing the lawn work for alcohol, or even capturing methane from a digester attached to the apartments very own sewer/septic system.

If electricity generation is simply off the table it is always possible to lift people mechanically. A good elevator/lift will be counter balanced so that with the operator it tends to rise "up" when the brake is removed, and 'down' when passengers are present. (note mechanically operated elevators need an operator). For "up" capacity without power you could hire a dozen people to pedal bicycle like transmissions attached to the elevator winch. Since we're serving the 1% here you can probably pay (on a temporary basis) a number of the 99% for 20 minute stints of pedalling, 40 minutes rest.

No one mentioned if the lower floors had power when power was out, if they don't and the only barrier to making the upper floors valuable is reliable lift service, that seems doable even in a very constrained environment. And if you recapture value so that a $200 apartment becomes a $20,000 apartment, that is a lot of value to recapture.
Anyone who can explain what this is, much appreciated. Judging from comments here I'm far from the only one without a clue despite reading the page.
It's worth reading the description again in that case, and following the examples in the screenshots. It's not doing the same thing.

Innovation for What? The Politics of Inequality in Higher Education
I like to think that some of them will use that free education to develop cures for diseases, cheaper sources of energy, faster computers, etc.

I think about my fellow people the way I think about immigration... neither inherently good nor inherently bad for a society. If an immigrant is a brilliant physicist, it's a plus, whereas if an immigrant is a drug lord, it's a minus.

I'd rather live in a society surrounded by educated people, even if some of them choose a flakey major, or don't agree with all my views. That the people who get a "free education" also benefit from it themselves is just an added bonus.

I use it to set alarms, control my lighting, and check the weather. I find it kind of useless for music since it doesn't have a lot of the bands I listen to (it only plays "samples"), and it usually cycles the worst tracks first for some reason.

You are right. 60k is an arbitrary number. Just like 50k and 70k is arbitrary.

But they wanted to have a limit, probably so rich people couldn't use it. So they probably just picked a round number that sounded nice.
This looks to me like something on the order of convertible warrants based initially on bitcoin/Ethereum, which convert to DAO tokens.

I think it's best to consider the original "smart" phone: Blackberries. Before my Galaxy, I was pretty broke looking for something better than my feature phone. Throwaway Blackberries were common on eBay due to volume purchasing and upgrade cycles by businesses. Probably more so now that everyone is ditching them for iOS and Android.

Anyway, the main benefits are a keyboard that works, plenty battery life, useful apps, and probably $50 or less. Feature phones especially have terrible keyboard/numpad combos that hurt the thumb. Just having a real keyboard... well, a two-thumb board if we're honest... was a serious improvement. Ended up finding hundreds of free apps online, too.

How many times or how much charge do you get from the USB version?

Considering that different phones consume different amounts of energy, and that different AA batteries have different capacities, that's hard to say.

If you carry a Wiko Lubi like me, you can probably talk more than 10h with a single battery. If you carry an energy-hungry smartphone, you'll probably get an order of magnitude less.
The author failed to fully investigate input methods. The iPhone has handwriting input instead of a keyboard. The iPhone character matches what is handwritten and provides a pick list of potential matches.

If you don't like the handwriting input style, there is a stroke entry method, that has no dependency on sound for input. So if I want to write 本, I can tap horizontal stroke, downstroke, slanted stroke and this character is 6th option in the pick list.

Then there is the Canjie input method. Plus endless others.

In my circle of friends in the US - where we were from lower middle class families, didn't live at home past 19, didn't get any college tuition help from our families (there was none to give) and worked the entire time we were in school, still taking on large amounts of debt, none of us had a baby below 30, and for most closer to 35.

In the reverse, kids that didn't leave home after high school (and seemed ill prepared for the shock of the real world) seemed to have children much younger, often while or shortly after attending community college, living with their parents or just down the street.

My experience is highly anecdotal (and maybe stereotype-enforcing) and I would think that it differs depending on where you're from as well (I'm from the Northeast). But it's rather the opposite of this take-away.

> Each DAO Token Holder is granted voting rights and complete control over The DAO's digtal assets (ETH to begin with) proportional to the amount of DAO tokens they hold.

It seems like they're going to raise a bunch of money, and then vote on what to do with it. The premise I guess is that it's a "distributed autonomous organization" but I imagine the initial investors have a large stake in the amount funded so far, and their politics will decide what happens to the majority of investors who hold virtually no votes in comparison. This seems like a certain type of investment scheme...

Same as was most everyone else has listed: kitchen timer, play music, occasionally ask her the time.

Oh and shopping list from time to time, but the mobile app is terrible so it's not much fun to use once you're actually in the store and trying to shop.
Because it assumes the idea that OpenGL is for higher level, and Vulkan is for lower level. However what's needed for higher level is some stateless API based on Vulkan, and that's currently simply missing.
We have to come up with something rigorous to deal with these sorts of things. Whether you call it "science" or not we still have to come to grips with "weird shit".

I know a guy. He's a healer. He can do things that Western science has absolutely no idea about. In point of fact several people who were diagnosed with cancer have worked with him and afterwards were no longer diagnosed with cancer.

This is factual.

Yet good luck getting people in general to take this seriously. No one wants to hear it. My mom's neighbour had breast cancer, she beat it with conventional medicine, more power to her. But she refused even to think about anything outside of the established system. For her it worked.

Personally, I'm very frustrated. I come from a strongly scientific background, so when I meet a person who can fucking cure fucking cancer I would really like to see the scientific establishment take that seriously.

But whatever. I can take some consolation that at least my family and I don't have to worry about cancer, even if I can do nothing to change the zeitgeist of society.

For those of you wondering why this guy wouldn't try to spread the word, well, first of all he does! He talks to anyone he meets and is not shy about it at all. The limiting factor is the people who don't want to hear about crazy shit.

(P.S. If you have cancer and want to talk to my healer friend I can put you in touch. He's in Europe now and kind of retired, and I haven't spoken to him in a year or so, but if you truly need help and feel that this guy is "the one" you can contact me and I'll see about putting you in touch.)

Because OpenGL is stateful by design. Since there isn't anything else high level enough, OpenGL is still useful, but yes, I expect it to remain only for legacy applications once something better based on Vulkan will emerge.

The "panel" of curators is far more limited than that. Taking from the page:

A Curator is a failsafe mechanism that indirectly prevents malicous actors from executing 51% attack. Curators do not add centralization to the DAO: they are nominated by the DAO Token Holders themselves, and can be fired at any time, for any reason. Curators curate the whitelist, the list of Contractors authorized to receive ether from the DAO. A Curator therefore holds two primary functions:

First, when a DAO Token Holder submits a Proposal in the form of a smart contract, the Curator checks that the published Contract on the Ethereum blockchain matches the source code the Contractor claims to have deployed (this is done by comparing bytecode).

Second, a Curator confirms that a Proposal comes from an identified person or organization. This is done by asking the entity submitting the Proposal to send a signed transaction with a certain set of data only known to the Curator and the author of the Proposal, thereby confirming the author of the Proposal.

The above are the only two functions of a Curator. For clarity, the following tasks are therefore not the role of a Curator, but instead the role of the DAO as a whole:

Evaluate whether a Proposal is ‘good’ or not.
Audit the Proposal’s smart contract code.
Provide legal advice regarding the Proposal (if any).
Take responsibility for the Proposal.
This aspect is two-fold (at least). Yes, it's on the roadmap to implement OpenGL on Vulkan and probably also legacy-D3D on top of D3D-12.

But what's more important is, that all the complexity of OpenGL and legacy-D3D drivers make it very difficult to hit the fast codepaths of the driver.

And OpenGL has the problem that one cannot effectively queue drawing commands from several threads; not to be confused with the (ill) attempt to render from several threads at the same time. We're just talking about the preparation steps here, i.e. traversing the scene, visiting each element sorting them, and one drawing order is determined submitting them into a queue that then can be batched for drawing. With Vulkan one can utilize the multiple CPU cores we have these days: Each core may collect a different aspect of a scene into a different queue.
