While I love reading Süddeutsche Zeitung online as much as the next guy, I can't quite see how anyone else in the UK cares too much about being geoblocked from seeing Polish dramas or those wonderful shows being produced by RAI. On this particular political divide, the Leave campaign could make a better argument with "force the French to pay more to see our wonderful _British_ broadcasting corp shows"...
Absolutely. Given the full power of the UCMJ, Oathkeepers are little more than a fun Constitutionalist fantasy.
decent programmer? you must not really know how tech works, shitty programmers make over 100k..
I'm actually torn on this.

If the city, county, etc. maintains a street as "public", then it's fair game. However, I know there are jerkarses in the world and would treat residential streets as their personal race track.

If people are getting agitated and honking and there's traffic jams, that puts residents in danger.

Yep, like others, I quit reading at the moment I saw the words "trust fund".
The Wikipedia article you quote states that as the possible earn-out over a 15 year period rather than the 5 year period you suggest. Overall collection costs as quoted in those documents are roughly 2.7%, which isn't wildly off what you might pay for credit card processing fees. I'm no great fan of the license fee myself (although I haven't heard of a compelling alternative), but cost of collection isn't a strong argument against it.

What I've learnt from 3 years remote software dev
Spark's syntax is basically identical to Scala's, so you can use it as a library with standard Scala functions. In contrast PySpark etc. will still let you get all the same features, but you have to write code that doesn't look like Python, by either using Scala-like code with the RDD API or SQL-like code with the SQL API.
How Egyptology can help us to future proof our culture
I have a friend who saved $15,000 in 1 year selling cars and low quality marijuana (he made $1000/month from it).

He traveled to 50+ countries and slept outside everywhere except poor countries where it was cheap to get a bed.

When he returned to the US, he sold cars and was homeless. Literally he slept outside but still worked out and ate well. When he got a car, he still slept outside.

He recently just made $60,000 driving for Lyft/Uber in 6 months and saved $30,000 (assuming a lot went to taxes).

He then moved and slept in hus car for 1+ month while having 30k and perfect credit, and still driving. Now he's taken a month off to pursue creative and side projects.

For the most part I was limited to classes intermediate and above when I started out so there's some basis for communication. Of course the best part of travel is learning the native language. After a few months you can probably start teaching beginners, especially once you get a feel for the kinds of questions students ask. People usually have the same confusion points.

Some "immersive" methods such as the Callan method explicitly do not want you to use the native language at all, even if you know it.

What this NYer article should have done is depantsed the fake Instagram pushers who do have trust-funds or well heeled partners. The dream is really difficult for those who've gone past a certain point in the debt cycle, but with a bit of discipline and wisdom, you can clear your current situation and Live Differently. But that will seem, and quite possibly be, impossible for a lot of people with less flexible/resolvable life circumstances.

Same goes for health.

That is more fiction than fact.

The first railroads in the US and UK standardized fairly quickly on 4'8½", but that's not the only size (even today!). The Great Western Railway, for example, was infamously at a 7' gauge. Even in the US, most railroads in the south converged on a 5' gauge until they shifted to 4'9" (not 4'8½"!) on May 31, 1886. The gauge differences in very early (1820s and 1830s) railways were just as diverse as the coal tramways that proceeded them--which means you basically have every value between 4'6" and 5' as the actual track gauge.

Of course, that belies the fact that your track gauge does not determine what you can stick on a train. That's the loading gauge, and these are nowhere near as consistent. The UIC standard loading gauge in Europe is 3.15 m wide, while the standard US loading gauge is 3.25 wide--and they both share the 4'8½" track gauge. (Note: the actual adherence to these standards, particularly in 100+ year-old railways, is a different matter.)
Actually TypeScript powers a JS editing experience codenamed "Salsa" that uses JSDoc comments for types. You can try it out in VS Code where it should currently be enabled.

I only recently because aware of Ethereum and the concept of DAO so my understanding is pretty hazy. It strikes me that this is version .1 of something could be really cool, but which like most products doesn't really become usable for the masses until version 3.0. Sort of like Friendster -> MySpace -> Facebook

I hope the evangelists keep iterating but I'll stay away from it until I feel like it's something that will stick around for at least 10 years.

The point of the intimidation is to encourage him to pick softer targets. If he insists on continuing to pick on me, then I will escalate, making his life a living hell. He lives somewhere, he works somewhere, everybody has weak points that you can exploit. Eventually he'll say 'uncle', it's just a matter of when. If he's smart he'll do it before his wife's car reeks of fish. (I will have already 'fished' his car so his wife will understand that this is now her problem as well)
Anecdotal. Nothing to see here.
An umbrella policy for general liability seems like it could be really useful. They typically cover rather large sums of money, in excess of one million dollars, and they aren't terribly expensive.

I can imagine someone suing over a misunderstanding because of an X/Y problem. Person A asks a really obtuse programming question, Person B answers it literally, and then Person A goes on to use Person B's answer to build a nuclear reactor controlled by a raspi. Person B then gets sued by Person A when it melts down.

Obviously that is a bit of an exaggeration, but it isn't hard to imagine a point in the future where programmers will be held to the same standards as certified professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and engineers. While it's really unlikely any particular programmer will be sued over advice they gave online, it would really horrible to be the person that someone chose to make an example of.
In fact you only want to use it when your comparison can afford collisions (md5 generates a lot of collisions). Sha256 is pretty much collision free.

Stat has covered Verily in detail in the past; this article from March argues that the problem stems from the leadership:

https://www.statnews.com/2016/03/28/google-life-sciences-exo...

Former employees, however, characterized Conrad in less complimentary tones.
They said he exaggerates what Verily can deliver, launches big projects on a
whim, and rashly diverts resources from prior commitments to the next hot
idea that might bring in revenue. This has led to what they describe as
difficult meetings with business partners, and resignations by demoralized
engineers and scientists in the face of seemingly impossible demands.
I don't think there's a lack of desire, I think there's a lack of ability due to size. I also don't feel it's fair to say that their attitude is "Let's copy AWS! Genius!", Azure has become very mature and a delight to work with.

The idea that the sides were split geographically has some truth, but is overstated and a result of looking at the decisions of state governments -- there were supporters of the Union cause in states that seceded (and, in fact, there were union regiments raised from every state in the Confederacy except South Carolina), and supporters of the rebel cause in states that remained in the Union. The illusion of a clean geographic split is the result of the fact that a state government's choice to secede and join the confederacy or not was starkly binary.

This article tries to shift perception from "poor people make bad decisions because they're intrinsically dumb" to "poor people make bad decisions because poverty makes them dumb." But this is also wrong; the decisions poor people make are, for the most part, sensible decisions given the circumstances they're in. Here's a list from the article:

> "The poor borrow more, save less, smoke more, exercise less, drink more, and eat less healthfully. Offer money management training and the poor are the last to sign up. When responding to job ads, the poor often write the worst applications and show up at interviews in the least professional attire."

Borrow more: because you only need to borrow if you don't have money.

Save less: because you can only save if you have money.

Showing up at interviews in poor attire: because good attire costs money.

Eat less healthfully: because healthy food costs more than unhealthy food.

Exercise less: because exercising requires the energy that poor diet and the other stresses of poverty sap away.

Writing poor job applications: because applications are judged based on whether they sound like something a poor person would write.

The only genuinely questionable decisions in the list are smoking and drinking, but even these have sensible explanations that don't involve moralizing.

I think the real answer is that things have been labelled "poor decisions" not because they are strategically bad choices for the people who actually make them, but because seeing someone make them provides others with evidence that they're poor, which is stigmatized.
>The printer's buyer was Gersh Zavodnik, a 54-year-old Indianapolis man known to many in the legal community as a frequent lawsuit filer who also represents himself in court. The Indiana Supreme Court said the "prolific, abusive litigant" has brought dozens of lawsuits against individuals and businesses, often asking for astronomical damages...Zavodnik, a native of Ukraine who moved to the United States in 1987 under a grant of political asylum, sued Costello, accusing him of falsely advertising a malfunctioning printer with missing parts, and pocketing Zavodnik's money

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Is anyone familiar with the legal system enough to know how we can help out his current victim or (legally) bring an end to this smug conman's thievery? Could public opinion or data that tells a compelling story help?

'Special Judge J. Jeffrey Edens' is damage in the legal process that I'm sure can be routed around and this story is ripe for the media.
I did have an issue with drivers coming around a blind curve too quickly to be safe, though, so I did what these homeowners ought to be doing and contacted my local government about getting my street assessed for a traffic calming project.

I hope what happened in my neighborhood doesn't happen in yours. One person vetoed a stop sign that would have made our street much, much safer due to the blind curve and how fast people take it. The one home owner that objected scuttled the entire thing. Very frustrating.
Who pays if the actual damages are somewhere in the middle?
Right. If you ignore some 200 years of jurisprudence, you might have a point.
You are correct in that they don't consider themselves to have "jobs". They treat going to work more as a hobby. The problem is that regardless of their opinion on the matter, someone else really wants that job as a job.
well every situation is different, but this was an old 2011 imac I was hoping to get $300 for. They offered me $500. And Shyp. Wow. I didn't even have to package the box.
There are a bunch of (sometimes hydroponic) indoor greenhouses popping up all around Florida since the near miss in decriminalizing medical marijuana on the last ballot. They mostly just grow crap loads of lettuce and tomatoes (tomatoes and marijuana have extremely similar growing requirements and cycles) which they sell to "organic" places and literally throw away (or in some cases give away) the rest because at this point they're just working out the kinks in their production systems until the real money maker becomes legal.

It really hit me when a friend of mine told me about a greenhouse that was experimenting with RFID to track its lettuce production and I thought that seemed like an awfully expensive way to track a product nobody cared about...

If anyone is curious the way FL has gone about awarding licenses for potential marijuana growers has been a pretty drama filled saga and is a great example of corruption in today's society
> That said, 5 minutes per ticket pretty much requires offenders to present themselves in a nice, orderly line.

Officers get exactly that when they set up shop in a place where they know there are going to be plenty of violators. Highway 66 inside of the DC beltway is HOV during rush hour. The police will just sit at the end of the on ramp and write tickets for everyone trying to cheat HOV or with expired tags or inspection. Makes for a great haul, especially because HOV tickets are $125 for the first offense, $250 for the second, $500 for the third, and $1000 for the fourth.
Agreed. I always try to keep things in perspective. Most problems I end up complaining about are really first world problems. The thing is I remember growing poor in a different country, so I should know better. But after all this years I find myself complaining my internet is slow, my water heater doesn't heat enough water, I had to wait in line getting a plane etc. My younger poor self would slap me on the head and laugh at me for complaining.

Thanks for detailed response. I figured it mostly did GPU stuff. So, real computing necessary here is a massively-parallel chip with generic and custom hardware with a bunch of memory plus a regular core using 4KB on other end. I think a more interesting challenge would be to force use of a subset of GPU functions or memory plus tiny memory on CPU side. I don't follow demoscene close enough to know if they subset GPU's like that. Idea being making them run closer to the old Voodoo or pre-GeForce GPU's to see just how much 2D or 3D performance once could squeeze out of it.

Tricks could have long-term benefit given any emerging FOSS GPU is more likely to be like one of the older ones given complexity of new ones. I'd clone one like SGI's Octane ones they used to do movies on with mere 200MHz processors. Meanwhile, similar tricks might let one squeeze more out of the existing, embedded GPU's in use. Maybe subset a PC GPU in demoscenes like one of the smartphone GPU's. Yeah, that's got some interesting potential.
Again.

The US system is not that fragile. It's made to be able to deal with presidents smart or dumb.

I see no evidence that Trump should be any more dangerous than Bush or Clinton. He might say more outrageous things than even Bush to the international community but his rhetorics isn's his politics and he can't just send nuclear bombs at whomever he wants.

>you have to explicitly set TypeScript to treat all types as non-nullable by default to get behavior similar to Flow's default

To be fair, it's one line in a config file / tsc commandline.

>Flow uses nominal typing (similar to functional languages); whereas, TypeScript uses structural typing (similar to Java)

Flow also uses structural typing, except for ES6 classes which it considers nominally typed.

>I don't remember the ramifications of this, but I think one was it makes Flow easier to work with/require less boilerplate

I can't imagine how that's related.

>I think the nullable operator was one case, where the operator Microsoft chose could be ambiguous with JavaScript code in Flow, so Facebook chose a different one.

I think you're talking about the type assertion operator which used to be angle brackets in TS. Yes it would cause syntax ambiguities with JSX. Since Flow had JSX support from the start for React, they chose a different operator (?:). When TS added support for JSX, they added another type assertion operator (as).
You nailed it. Getting the right abstraction is very hard. One does one's best, and generally fails miserably.

1. Bikes don't really depend on high density the way transit does. They don't do well in rural/exurban sprawl, true, but standard American suburbs are usually dense enough to make a good number of bike trips practical (the infrastructure is another matter entirely though).

2. Wikipedia says Oulu's urban density is 2300/sq mi, which is really not very dense at all.

3. In fact, apparently the suburb in the article (Takoma Park) has a density of 8000/sq mi, so more than triple that of Oulu.

Well I agree if you have a good reason (like a lack of driver) then you absolutely should be able to delay or cancel the update.

I think there are two different questions. Should updates auto-install by default (after a warning), and should you be able to reject any update? I'd say yes to both, but unfortunately Microsoft tends to no for both sometimes.
That's a real challenge. :) My comment to Kristine has some other details on how we might do something between that and a full GPU.

It's an interesting story about Berkeley. The barriers they use were deemed illegal in a court case, but Berkeley didn't remove them.

The truth about the barriers in Berkeley: they increase the values of some homes at the expense of others. If you live on a street with barriers that restrict traffic, then your house is worth more than one on the "approved" through streets.
