How do you define 'homogenous'? By most definitions I know of, Sweden is not homogenous.

For example, over 9% of the residents of the country were not born in a European country.

Regarding the piece from The Guardian, consider this quote: "A spokesman for the Sweden Democrats (currently at an all-time high of close to 10% in the polls) insisted to me that immigrants were "more prone to violence"."

SD is an anti-immigrant party in Sweden. I find it odd that the speaker chose a source which is most likely to give a negative portrayal of immigrants. But I needn't explore that in any depth as the commenters to that piece have done so for me.

FWIW, there was a followup at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/05/scandinavian-m... . The author writes (about the piece you linked to):

> In trying to make myself heard above the clamour of pro-Nordic propaganda in the British (indeed, global) media, and shake a few people out of their decade-long Scandi-trances, I hereby plead guilty to a selective, provocative slant on the region.
And the 2.5GHz chip you are using now n years later has (very) approximately 2^n more transistors - think about the increase in the number of cores, the large number of different execution units, the increased width of the data busses, that vast amount of on-die cache and so on. These all increase the transistor count, but feature size is also getting smaller, allowing the total transistor density to increase in line with Moore's law.
At Reddit's size, wouldn't that just shift the problem from looking up votes to looking up lists? Millions of users times millions of articles? Seems like a fast way to get an early "no" would still be useful.
There are many, many relatively progressive places that are less expensive than SF. Pittsburgh is one. Smaller college towns are others. There are lots.

The real monopoly SF has is its investor ecosystem. There's talent everywhere.

I wonder if equity/SAFE crowdfunding (e.g. WeFunder) will help geographically decentralize tech?
This is very nice. Phased-array beam steering on both transmit and receive, and coherent detection to ignore any light that's not synced to the transmitter. Now they have to get the range up. If they can get range up to 10m in the near term, that's enough for indoor navigation. That will be useful for VR, AR, robot vacuum cleaners, and similar applications.

I've been expecting the Advanced Scientific Concepts flash LIDAR to be the direction of the future, because it has no moving parts and works in sunlight at range. It just costs too much. But this is potentially even better.
I wrote http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/ (code is open source on github: https://github.com/karpathy/arxiv-sanity-preserver) as a side project intended to mitigate the problem of finding newest relevant work in an area (among many other related problems such as finding similar papers, or seeing what others are reading) and it sees a steady number of few hundred users every day and a few thousand accounts. It's meant to be designed around modular views of lists of arxiv papers, each view supporting a use case. I'm always eager to hear feedback on how people use the site, what could be improved, or what other use cases could be added.
When I see things like this, I always make a mental note never to patronize the business (or in the case of a city/state, never to visit).

Maybe the small effect of voting with my wallet would be more likely to be noticed if I sent a note: "Hi there, because of $ACTION_I_DISAGREE_WITH, I've decided not to patronize your business anymore"
Owning what you don't possess sets you up for legal takeover. No one stops you from handing a book or disc to another person, in fact, entire governmental organizations exist to handle the logistics of freely sharing such artifacts.

Sharing is the first moral many of us are taught.

It's not but I put WAY more faith into people that work for power company's to know how to fix things on a large scale than most fly-by-night solar companies. If the wall battery gets flooded, solar panels damaged, etc... there won't be enough skilled people to fix every decentralized install. And they may need power from on the grid to help with repairs.

>A list of votes per user per page would also work. 90% of the time that list would be empty, if it's not your likely going to eventually need to know which specific items where voted on so might as well just load them all.

How? This means you're now duplicating data, instead of organizing as

you now have

I personally don't think this is true. There are significant amounts of content on Netflix that are only available in regions such as NLD and GBR that are not available in USA / CAN (Orphan Black comes to mind off the top of my head).

The problem definitely goes both ways.

Rust will reorder struct members in the most efficient way possible unless you explicitly tell it not to. This is also how most other low level languages (like C++) do it.

The main reason to have an option at all is it makes it easier to work with arrays of bytes. For example, in networking if you receive a packet, instead of parsing a packet you can just cast it to a struct with fields in the correct order. And if you send a packet, you can just cast the struct to a byte array. This avoids a lot of copying and can greatly simplify code.
It doesn't sound incompetent to me, there will always be false positives on that scale. Did they remove the OP's repo, or simply send them a message? If a legitimate email gets caught in your spam filter, do you switch email providers? Github and their process/humans/scripts don't sound like the incompetent ones in this scenario. I would be more concerned that my livelihood depended on such an over reactionary company.

"Hey boss,I tried cloning the Github repo of project X, but it says it can't be found, and I noticed our org page on Github is gone."

"No."

"Oh? Well why can't I view it, weren't the projects public? What did you say to them?"

"I didn't say anything, I moved us to a different host."
This is great! you should only have taxes that you can collect anyway. Any tax that the state collects only partially, is only making the people that are willing to bend the rules, rich.

I don't understand why my comment was downvoted, is there something wrong with asking such questions here?

Not AFAIK, but sometimes people downvote questions that are based on misunderstandings or false premises. Give it some time and you'll probably be voted back up to where you started.
The French "bureaucratie" was coined in the 18th century by French economist Jean Claude Marie Vincent de Gournay, from French "bureau" (office/desk) + Greek "-kratia" (power of), as a criticism of how government over-regulation can stunt commerce.

It came into English in the early 19th century, carrying a similarly negative connotation. The connotations have shifted back and forth somewhat since then.

Still, it seems that it's never been primarily used to talk about private offices in English or French; the primary use has always referred to governments.

> Maybe somewhere I haven't heard of (cause I don't live in NYC) in Queens or the Bronx? I don't know if you'd have the same access to culture and money living in some far-off non-subway-served part of the Bronx though.

Large parts of the southern Bronx are served by subway and still affordable. The have relatively bad crime stats and you may feel out of place but all that was true in the LES in the 80s too. And even if there aren't great commuting options to the financial district or midtown, you don't necessarily need to be in quick commuting distance to take advantage of the proximity to the cultural institutions. It's still going to be far easier for your indie band to get booked into some west village bar if you are based out of some far corner of the Bronx than if you are based out of Cincinnati. And if you develop your own artsy section of the Bronx the millionaires that want to feel cool can take uber up there.

All that said, the Bronx runs into the whole "gentrification" debate in a way that I don't think some of these other towns across the rust belt do. I get the sense that in at least some of these cities everyone, or almost everyone, is happy to get any kind of population influx.

Is this really a lost art? I feel like this is one of the main reasons people who use C still use C: you have a lot more control over how memory is handled. Honestly, if someone doesn't know about this, then they really just don't know C, because it's a pretty fundamental piece of information.
Reminds me of this rather dark/depressing take on corporate structures:

> Bureaucracies are structures designed to do certain things very efficiently and competently: those that are by default in the best interests of the Sociopaths. They are also designed to do certain things incompetently: those expensive things that the organization is expected to do, but would cut into Sociopath profits if actually done right.

Leeeeeet me get this straight. If I was to move to Ukraine, and I make $1 billion, $1 million, or $1 thousand in income, I will pay 10% income tax, and 5% sales tax? That's it?

Friend, I'll answer to your last point because it is the most misguided. The Church of the East had its own course independent of the Catholic Church. By the early 13th century they lived under Islam and outnumbered Catholics. Nothing that the Catholic Church did carried any kind of weight East of Antioch. Please read up on Jacobite churches and Timothy I, patriarch of Baghdad. It is good for Westerners to study the history of the Eastern hemisphere - its center was Baghdad, not Rome.
When I was constantly praised for being intelligent, but criticized for my real failings, I didn't got high self-steem.

I wish pahole got more attention since I had some great experiences with it years ago. I tried it recently and it didn't like the DWARF info that my compiler was spitting out. Perhaps I need to tweak the DWARF versioning or, gulp, try and add the missing DWARF support to pahole.

It's a terrible protocol in general. Has all the hallmarks of old thinking, a million people on the panel with a million needs, no consolidation, and no clean minimal implementation that gets you 99% of what you want.
The trick here is that people quickly forget the context but will recognize the brand the next time they see it. The "I know it from somewhere..." effect.

That said, a lot of times if you see publicity for sake of publicity, there's someone there making ad-dollars on eyeballs. Here any publicity really is good publicity.
So, descending order.
Can you give an example of a compiler and platform where this isn't true? I thought it was part of the standard, and I've never seen C code that didn't make the assumption that this is true.

There are easy ways to protect a LIDAR against that, but I don't think Velodyne is doing them yet. The duty cycle is low; a ranging operation takes under 1us, and typical cycle rates are 100Hz. So each beam is live only about 1/10,000the of the time. A simple denial jammer thus needs far more power than the pulsed laser used for ranging. A simple denial jammer looks like a target at zero range, so you know you're being jammed. Note that jamming must the same color as the ranging laser; everybody has narrow-band interference filters that only pass a very narrow color band. That's why this works in sunlight.

To defeat a synchronous jammer, the LIDAR only needs to add some random variation in the transmit timing. Then the jammer won't know when to be on. With some random variation, synchronous jamming looks like noise, rather than a solid false reading.

This new MIT system requires that the received light be in phase with the laser beam at the light coherency level. That makes it reasonably immune to anything other than a laser that can sync to a narrow light pulse. Not sure that's even possible.
Good for you. There are 6,999,999,999 other people in the world. It's not reasonable to assume everyone else thinks the same as you.

Unfortunately Promises need to be fixed before fetch will be sane and here's how the promises spec currently looks:

- unhandled errors silently swallowed [1] (this is the case for the most popular polyfill [1] too - the one recommended by fetch polyfills, BEWARE [3])

- no 'finally' method, despite pretty much everything in a UI needing some common 'cleanup' after e.g. a fetch()

- not cancellable

Right now you're better off with `$.ajax` (maybe make a custom build of jQuery) or a promise-like library like reqwest [2], rather than fighting with fetch.
