I don't think that was clear: it's a common misunderstanding that all refugees are poor, political rhetoric often tries to emphasise this in order to sway people against migrants.

Totally agree about casual conversation but the modification of these expression by addition of "by definition" IMO flips this to be a statement of fact that should be challenged if it's false. There was no need to add that emphasis and it pushed the statement to being demonstrably false.

The issue is not that you have an atomic copy of the state at a certain point in time, which in a bad database couldn't be loaded. The problem is that when you make a full copy of a file you are copying linearly and if it's a big file a chunk could change while you're reading it (or multiple related chunks which you are in the middle of copying) -- then you have a very inconsistent state which a database can't recover from no matter if their updates are atomically written. The database could do some magic with unlinking, but that would cause massive performance problems.
Note that ext3 and ext4 only support 64k hardlinks, so if you already use them a lot, then snapshotting may make you run out of hardlinks even faster.
Add zpaq to the family. It also supports deduplication, encryption and offline catalog. The latter means you don't need access to old backups to perform deduplication. And it's cross-platform.
Spotify Has Ditched Musixmatch, but Why?
My impression on DL papers is that they are relatively clear to other papers in machine learning/math/stats. Especially for big conferences, many of the accepted papers have code released on github before the conference date either by the original researchers or by developers looking to get stars (usually googling paper and + github will help you here). A lot of these implementations end up turning into blog posts or being contributed to Theano/TensorFlow/Torch/Caffe/etc.

I don't see a huge competitive advantage in not releasing code. It's probably more beneficial to share ideas and collaborate. I imagine the reason it's not done more often than it is is because it takes time and effort to put this stuff out there.

Ask HN: Solution to the problem with collaboration tools
Many of you must be using collaboration tools at work - Slack, Asana, Smartsheet, Comtify etc. The problem with all these tools is that all of them exist side-by-side emails. This is because none of these tools takes care of external communication and email is the only medium useful to communicate with people out of one's organization.

So how if we build a collaboration tool which also serves as an email client / email service provider? Won't it be an ultimate killer app for all collaboration tools / email service providers / email clients?
You're right.

'Universal cancer vaccine' breakthrough claimed by scientists
Why on earth was this down voted?

ADHD is caused by a low dopamine level or uptake. This can lead to concentration problems and impulsive behavior, and those symptoms can make people look restless and overactive. Amphetamine stimulates dopamine production, and that cancels out the effect of ADHD. If given in a low enough dosis to someone with ADHD, it takes the restlessness away, so it has the effect of a downer instead of an upper.
I missed that, financials are the same so they should amount for essentially the same value.

Still the dynamics of both are different and usually depreciation of the dividends is factored out on the price of the stock. I wonder if they are pricing the stock just before dividend and if that's fair.

... and it relies on DOM structure.

This is horrible, IMHO. Flex containers will layout the flex items, which are by definition its direct descendants. If by some reason [1] you get an extra DOM element between the flex container and the item you intend to layout, then you're in for a rewrite of the CSS and maybe some extra classes.

Also, this bug in Webkit is rather inconvenient: https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs/issues/115

The Surprising Importance of Stratospheric Life
No. It doesn't.

He said, whatever your neurological makeup might be, Adderall is going to be unhealthy on your heart.

Adderall works primarily by switching your norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, in all brains. From Wikipedia, norepinephrine:

"The general function of norepinephrine is to mobilize the brain and body for action. Norepinephrine release is lowest during sleep, rises during wakefulness, and reaches much higher levels during situations of stress or danger, in the so-called fight-or-flight response. In the brain, norepinephrine increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention; it also increases restlessness and anxiety. In the rest of the body, norepinephrine increases heart rate and blood pressure, triggers the release of glucose from energy stores, increases blood flow to skeletal muscle, reduces blood flow to the gastrointestinal system, and inhibits voiding of the bladder and gastrointestinal motility."

Anecdotally my doctors switched me from Adderall to Armodafinil for this explicit reason. My blood pressure was pre hypertensive after taking Adderall for only a short time.

It is, yes, if you mean "stock dividend" rather than "cash dividend". Although I'm not sure about the tax implications.
Please explain to me: What happened to the philosophy behind http://csszengarden.com ? Back when CSS needed evangelizing, the main selling point was "never touch the DOM for styling".

What went wrong?
Yes- mobile is a disaster. I can't imagine anybody profitably advertising on mobile. I've asked this group before and basically nobody has ever deliberately clicked a mobile ad (one guy said he did once, iirc). I have a hunch that the people making money off of these ads know this, too. It might be good for branding, but in that case you should only consider CPM-- CPC is your enemy here.

As I gear up for an advertising campaign, I'm looking pretty closely at channels.

No they cannot do it for free otherwise. Research takes a lot of time, and if you're not getting money to do it you can't keep doing it (need to pay rent, food, etc). Perhaps you meant to say that the people in research would like to do that research regardless of the money it earns them; that seems true enough.

The funding cycles will also make the people not in it for the money tired, except for the ones that keep winning; it's a rat race regardless of your interest in cash. Most research is not about being "on the brink of discovering something [...]"; that is a romantic idea of research which is exceedingly rare.
Yeah but as capital gains I believe, whereas a cash dividend is taxed as income (Income is taxed at a much higher rate than capital gains)

That's the name in Europe, I think. The tax implications vary by country and there are a number of ways that companies can do it. For example, a company can give the option of getting cash while avoiding any actual outflow by giving rights to all the shareholders and selling those rights on behalf of the shareholders who want cash to give them a cash payment instead of the new stocks.

In the HPC crowd, I'm quite familiar with OrangeFS (aka PVFS2) which recently entered the standard kernel. I had a PVFS 2.7 cluster running for many years, 24/7 with decent reliability (it crashed a few times, but never lost data).

It works with RDMA, has a POSIX layer, and is roughly equivalent to Lustre in performance in my tests, but 1° is very easy to setup (compared to Lustre) 2° has NFS actually working.

This is the money quote.

“I don’t remember seeing a company going public on the Nasdaq in the last 20 years who arrived at the I.P.O. with only management owning the company,” he said. “It’s almost a rite of passage.”

Why would you sell a business that you owned 100% of that was able to be bootstrapped to $100 million in revenue. What possible business that you could invest the proceeds in that would be better than this?
Possibly very naive question but why are dividends paid at all if it's essentially a noop? If they are paid in cash the stock I own is worth less by the same amount and if they are paid in stocks my initial stock is diluted by the same amount.

Do voting and non-voting shares typically receive the same amount of dividends?

The only differences I can see between cash and stock dividends is

1) For cash dividends I pay taxes now, for stock I typically pay upon the sale of said stock.*

2) A company issuing cash dividends has less liquid cash in the bank (also applies to the shareholders who get liquid cash).

*both are taxed as capital gains here, might be different tax wise in other countries which could complicate things
Semi-unrelated. I don't understand how the FBI can require companies to say "0-499" when companies could previously have said "0". It's already obvious that it means that they have received 1-499 (otherwise it wouldn't be an NSL-limited range in the first place), but what happens if you were to do something like the following?

All you have to do in your initial transparency report (before receiving any NSLs) is to just straight-up say "We have received zero NSLs. If in the future we only indicate that we have received a possible range of NSLs, that means we have recieved at least one NSL".

It's already obvious to most people, but would explicitly stating that to your users (before actually receiving any NSLs) be "pre-contempt"?

Getting a stock dividend is (assuming everyone does get it) a non-event. You had $x in shares of a company valued at $y before the transaction, and you have exactly the same afterwards. The only difference is that you had 1000 shares and now you have 1045. Saying that getting stock dividends is more favourable to the investor that getting cash dividends is equivalent to saying that getting no dividend at all is more favourable than getting a cash dividend.

>He said: "The strongest argument for us being in a simulation probably is the following: Forty years ago we had pong. Like two rectangles and a dot. That was what games were."

>"Now, forty years later, we have photorealistic, 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously and it's getting better every year. Soon we'll have virtual reality, augmented reality."

That's not an argument for reality being a simulation.
I'd set three milestone goals:

1) enough to weather a one-time unexpected event and necessary expense without going into debt (car needs brakes replaced, dog needs surgery, someone spills an entire frappuccino into your open laptop, you break a bone and have medical bills, you need to fly cross-country for a good friend's wedding, etc). For most people, $1000-2500 is enough for this. Keep it in an interest-bearing checking account or a "high yield" (yeah, right) savings account that supports easy transfers to checking. There is a 99.9999% chance you will need this money in the next 10 years. This is the money that keeps you off the knife's edge of a debt spiral.

2) enough to live on for 1-3 months of unemployment. Even if you can easily get a programming job within a month now, that may not be the case if the startup bubble bursts. And besides, even now you don't want to be beholden to the first thing you find. If the first job you take turns out in the first couple months to be a nightmare, you'll need to be ready to handle another month or more of unemployment while you find something better. Or you can afford to take a month of vacation to recover from burnout once you've completed the stressful process of job hunting. This also gives you a cushion to take small risks like switching specialties or moving to a new city. Keep this in an easily accessible "high yield" savings account. There is a 98% chance you will be glad to have this money some time in your life. This is the money that gives you security.

3) 3-12 months of living expenses. This lets you weather larger life events (a parent is diagnosed with cancer and you want to stop working and move back to be with them for the last several months of their life). Or take bigger risks like moving abroad or going back to school or even switching careers or starting your own business. Or deal with a severe recession as some other posters mentioned (the market for programmers seriously bottomed out when the first dot com bubble burst!) This money can and probably should be invested as long as it's not in a retirement account with penalties for early withdrawal. There's an 80% chance you'll want to access at least some of this money some time in your life. These are the savings that give you freedom.

And yes, I have personal experience of using my savings - I've started a freelance business that took longer than I'd hoped to reach profitability. I've founded a startup. I've taken anywhere from three weeks to two and a half months between jobs, largely voluntarily. Always glad to have these funds.
My sense of Uber has been a company using technology innovatively to provide a much better user experience, while using currently existing but idle resources (the cars and drivers that serve customers on Uber but otherwise don't for various reasons, reasons Uber has rendered irrelevant, hence the resistance they've seen).
But if they need to subsidize their drivers or customers, what does that say about their value proposition? To me, it makes them just another company using mundane, old school tactics to outdo their competition.
Medallions and subsidies are old school tactics. One keeps new players out. The other throws old players out. Neither has anything to do with the value you bring to the table.

The problem with all of these responsive grid systems is that they are opinionated about how a component responds.

Responsiveness is not a document level problem, it's a component level problem and each component has it's own concerns. One component might keep the 2up grid from desktop to mobile, another might collapse to single column half way, and so on. Having generic desktop and mobile class names ala bootstrap doesn't solve this. You end up with components that have to collapse at pre-defined points and a massive amount of class soup on your containers.

This is related to the fact that components respond to the window width and not their parent containers size. Components are very dumb right now, we need smart components that understand their surroundings beyond the window. Then we will have truly portable components!

Forgive my ignorance, but a typed functional system all the way down to machine is a huge departure from today's languages built on top of imperative dynamic machines, and a huge advantage in building typed functional systems, isn't it? I would go so far as to say that without a new machine and new languages designed for it, the abstraction will always leak. Which is why our software sucks today.
