Thanks for the feedback. I think the safe answer is that your website is considered mobile-friendly if it passes Google's mobile-friendly test. Regarding popups, I guess most of them are built for desktop browser environment so they don't exactly adapt well for mobile. Popups suck regardless, but they do suck more on mobile.
There's an old Zen saying that goes:

"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."

And another which reads:

"Miraculous power, marvelous activity. Drawing water, chopping wood."
Logo is more like low threshold, low ceiling. A good benchmark is if you can implement differential calculus in said language, while also drawing pretty pictures and playing sound, with real time input. In other words, implement a full 3D video game.

Logo fails this criterion as far as I am aware, Pascal and Squeak do not.

"Similar thing happened in Rome: the marble from the Coliseum was stripped and used to build St Peters."

Oh please - this is really out of context.

There are only two roads and one village, and the problem is to find out which of the roads lead to the village. Forget about "guarding" and the "truth village".

If you ignore the random answerer for a second, then you ask "if I were to ask you if this road leads to the village, what would you say?". Let's call this the original question. The answer will be trustable, because the truth teller will tell the truth, and the liar will lie about a lie, making the result the truth as well.

Now we introduce a new question, and a third answerer -- random. Since we know we can solve the problem with only the original question and original two natives, the goal of this question is just to eliminate the random answerer.

The solution given in the article uses this new question in two ways. One, by asking it of one native and not ever asking that native the original question, if the native we happen to ask is the random answerer, we know we won't ask the original question of that answerer, so what they answer doesn't matter -- either way, we'll end up with the liar or truth teller to ask the original question of.

So we only need to design the new question assuming the one we ask it of is not the random answerer. So now we're back to asking a "double question", resulting in a truth about a truth or a lie about a lie. You ask the question you stated, knowing that the native identified as "least likely to tell the truth" will never be the random one, due to truth-about-truth, lie-about-lie, or due to the random answerer being neither B nor C.
Boundary-induced quantisation does explain the limited set of acceptable/stable wavelengths around e.g. an atom.

However, what it doesn't explain, is why the amplitudes of such wavefunctions should be what they are. For example, why should the integral of the squared norm of the wavefunction for an electron be 1, if it is not a particle?

The thing is, she made a huge impact on the world. She changed the fantasy genre immeasurably, as much as Tolkien.

She popularized a concept of gender that was based on one's self-identity rather than biology. She wrote THE DISPOSSESSED.

I'm surprised that users are seeing a big jump in speeds. In my observation, many users in India who use public BitTorrent trackers have a strong tendency to cap their upload speeds heavily and also stop the torrent the moment the download completes in order to get by with whatever they have. This "win-win" scheme that gives local peers to torrent users, if adopted by many other ISPs, would probably result in slower speeds for all users and force them to connect to faster (non-local) peers outside the country.

I'd say it's more of a "rain on your wedding day" sort of irony.

Not quite the same, but immediately after the war a number of prominent German scientists were interned at Farm Hall, in England, and secretly recorded for months. The full transcripts are available (https://books.google.com/books?id=pzNjntMMq-oC) and it's interesting to hear what Heisenberg and Otto Hahn thought of the Nazis and the successful American nuclear bomb. The transcripts were also adapted into a pretty good stage play a few years back.
> as America is the most happy-obsessed culture in the world in my experience.

Yup. I blame their constitution.
First, two important assumption I'm making when I say this (and I feel they are reasonable assumptions). I'm not just talking about bringing a production environment back up in the same or adjacent AZ; I'm talking about true DR, where you're moving regions. I'm also not limiting my discussion to AWS' infrastructure - not with Google, Rackspace, Cloudflare and others in the space as well.

> Lots of data -> use S3 with de-normalized data, or something similar

S3's use case does not match up with many different computing models (hadoop clusters, database tables, state overflowing memory), and moving data within S3 between regions is painful. Also, not all cloud providers have S3.

> Running a VM has 3% overhead in 2016, scalability is much more important than a single node performance

Not when you have a requirement to respond to _all_ requests in under 50ms (such as with an ad broker).

> High security environments are usually payment processing systems

Or HIPPA, or government.

> delaying transactions is ok

Not really. When I worked for Amazon, they were still valuing one second of downtime at around $13k in lost sales. I can't imagine this has gone down.

> Amazon uses DNS for everything, even for datacenter moves. It is usually done within 5 minutes

Amazon also implements their own DNS servers, with some dynamic lookup logic; they are an outlier. Fighting against TTL across the world is a real problem for DR type scenarios.

> EIP (where the public facing IP can be attached to different nodes) makes this a non-issue

EIPs are not only AWS specific, but they can not traverse across regions, and rely on AWS' api being up. This is not historically always the case.

> they extremely rarely have a full region outage, so you can juggle capacity around

Not always. Sometimes, you can. But not always. Some good examples from the past - anytime EBS had issues in us-east-1, the AWS API would be unavailable. When an AZ in us-east-1 went down, the API was overwhelmed and unresponsive for hours afterwards.

> Spinning up instances should not DDOS anything, it is with constant load on the supporting infrastructure.

See above. There's nothing constant about the load when there is an AWS outage; everyone is scrambling to use the APIs to get their sites backup. There's even advice to not depend on ASGs for DR, for the very same reason.

AWS is constantly getting better about this, but they are not the only VPS provider, nor are they themselves immune to outages and downtime which requires DR plans.
Seems like they think its normal to work tirelessly through out the day and night.

It's because you start with the box labeled (via the initial random labeling) with your name. If you cycle back to it then it means that you found your name on a piece of paper, since the next box you open is always the one matching the piece of paper in the last box. So it is impossible to start in a cycle that doesn't include your name.
I don't expect it, but if that's what you're shooting for, that's the sort of thing you've got to contend with.

> From a networking perspective most Internet providers are generally not very happy with BitTorrent users.

> These users place a heavy load on the network and can reduce the performance experienced by other subscribers. In addition, the huge amount of data transferred outside the ISPs’ own networks is also very costly.

This could be re-stated with "BitTorrent" replaced with "video" and would still have the same meaning. It seems like ISPs are just acting like insurance companies and depend on the average use being low. It's as if they want to give the users less than what the users pay for instead of improving their networks. I get that managing load, utilization (and maximum demand) over time is not easy, but I doubt if the ISPs have a good enough capacity in the first place considering that many users do consume a lot of video content (which requires higher bandwidth and uses more of the capacity).
I would agree with the comments that the locality was chosen for political, not so much pragmatic reasons regarding construction. It would have been important for them to send a signal that the 'old gods' were not important, and there was 'a new order'.

But again context: from antiquity to the modern era, when civilizations clash, one dominates the other and you don't get just 'parts' of the new administration. You get agriculture, domestication of animals, the new science, literacy, 'medicine', ideas, civil administration and religion. Not just one thing. And by this time Christianity and Buddhism also represented a huge step forward in metaphysical though vis-a-vis polytheistic and animist religions previous to them. People forget that religions are not 'arbitrary' - they represent the metaphysical thinking of the era. Religions in the Common Era were often founded with moral principles regarding good behaviour, charity, selflessness etc., as opposed to thinking of 'those above' as merely a soap-opera of superhuman like people, with human like characteristics, as in many of the pre-Common Area faiths. I'm not advocating it, I'm describing the context.

My family members go down to Central America every year to help build homes. I'll bet in 200 years, academics of the era will look upon that as some kind of 'cultural destruction' as well (i.e. putting people into brick homes instead of 'native huts') - but again I think that description would lack context. We look at history through our own cultural order, which is I think a problem sometimes.

Taking this analogy, cold calls and similar sales tactics are still being used, so they must bring at least some positive return. If the error costs are effectively zero, the recruiter may be still be getting benefits from mass mailings, although as a corporate strategy for Google it may not work too well.
Well, a Functor isn't an HOF, and an HOF needn't be an implementation of Strategy.
There's a pretty low signal to noise ratio on recruiting. They typically don't start going into a candidate's details until they've managed to get a resume.
It's also safe to assume that the FBI Director is not in the weeds on highly technical investigations like this.
Growing a Software Engineering Career
I love project and it's a great implementation of novel ideas all slapped into one package, but I do take some issues with how they describe it.

It might make it under a liberal definition of 'robot', but it certainly doesn't fit under what people think of as robots in a modern society. Also, it's just an oscillator in a novel implementation, not 'autonomous'. It's like saying my oscillating fan is autonomous.

Awesome progress, look forward to future development, but a little to hyped up for my tastes.
The solution still works. The prisoners have agreed on a mapping between their names and the order of the 100 boxes. That mapping is what they rely on to inspect the boxes, the boxes don't need actual labels.

and now I'm in a B-C loop, and will never find my name.

This is where you're wrong, they're not specifically recruiting this individual. They're playing a statistical game - use as many sources as possible to fill the pipeline in hopes that some percentage will make it through to the end. I'm sure the recruiters are incented to make as many contacts as they can. Google is all about automation, and I'm sure their process for identifying potential candidates has no human input whatsoever.
No, because in your example both boxes A and C have name B in them. That's against the rules.
Yes, which makes me wonder why they're trying so hard to push the "Russians are doing it" narrative. Although I have no more evidence than do they, it feels rather like a diversion.

Another Stupid post about us privileged techies complaining about recruiters for the point of reverse bragging.

Recruiters are awesome and if you are smart(you should be you work in this field) you should know how to use recruiters to your benefit!

1. Don't ever give them your real phone number or email address. Give them your spam email address and number.

2. If they are so bold to hunt you down and call you at your place of work get them fired and or shame them publicly. Doubtful this happens a lot

3. When they are chasing you... Jack up your price and get the best deal ever(money, benefits, work location).

I never understood these silly complaints about recruiters minus to me it sounding like reverse bragging.
