IMO this comment exemplifies a fairly common logical/factual error, and is therefore misleading.

While the enterprises named were founded or headed by individuals with Jewish ancestry, there is not much else of significance being said. The statement implies that "Jewish control" is a meaningful idea, but it is not.

First of all, Jews are a very heterogeneous group and vary considerably ethnically, religiously and politically. There is absolutely no central Jewish "authority", and Jews hold very diverse views on all topics. Secondly, imagining there's communication among the 5/7 CEO's to coordinate their corporate policies on the basis of any "Jewish agenda" is in tinfoil territory, and absurd in the extreme. Finally if the commenter is implying there's some kind of built-in, genetic "Jewish worldview" that predisposes to disfavored corporate policies, that's obviously fallacious.

The motivation for making such assertions is unclear, indeed what the writer hoped to communicate is equally foggy. However, the comment emits an aura of antisemitism, as if attempting to attribute undesirable corporate behavior to the mere fact of CEO's presumed Jewish origins. I believe that represents troublesome prejudice that needs to be discouraged.
Having used both NetBeans and IntellIJ, I greatly prefer NetBeans. What drove me up the wall with IntelliJ was the poor Maven integration.

Maven projects are first-class citizens of NetBeans, which means that NetBeans can read POM files as NetBeans project files. NetBeans generates a small supplemental file (nbactions.xml) to cover the few project-related things the POM doesn't store (such as the name of the default main class or the path to the JVM), and it duplicates no information. IntelliJ, on the other hand, uses its own project format exclusively, it duplicates everything, and the IntelliJ project file regularly falls out of sync with the POM and has to be re-synced, which can be a nightmare.

At the company where we used IntelliJ, I ended up just using IntelliJ as an editor, and I did all my building by executing mvn on the command line (and we, as a company-wide thing, never ran projects in IntelliJ: we had special scripts for that). And the only reason I used IntelliJ there was because our coding standards were defined as an IntelliJ config file; if not for that, I would've just used NetBeans.

IntelliJ might be a better editor than NetBeans, and that's debatable because NetBeans is also a really good editor, but I simply cannot stand using IntelliJ for anything other than editing, while NetBeans handles non-editing tasks beautifully.

I'm super curious as well.. 3DR is the original platinum member, Intel and Qualcomm are newer. It seems like all three were collaborating on pivoting towards proprietary drone tech which obviously doesn't sit well with ArduPilot/tridge
They didn't give a kid to the US, he got taken from Afghanistan by the US after his shitty parents sent him away from Canada. I do agree he was a victim of a horrible family and that Canada should have protected him from the worse things done by the US (torture, ridiculous trials, detainment in gitmo), considering he was a 15 year old citizen of Canada at the time.

SipHash is also pretty fast, on my computer I get 2 GB/s. There are hash functions that are 5x faster than that (some AES-NI based ones are 15x faster) but none of them have any credible cryptanalysis for key recovery.

I studied SipHash a while ago and implemented a SIMD version but that performed slower (needs 4x64 bit int vectors and doesn't allow any instruction level parallelism). I'm sure that you could make a faster hash function with 4x32 bit vectors using similar ARX (add-rotate-xor) networks but I'm not smart enough to do the cryptanalysis.

There's a new hash function called HighwayHash which was about 11GB/s but the implementation is very tied to Intel CPUs (SSE4.1 or AVX512) and uses 4x64 bit vectors. And no cryptanalysis on that either, although it looks like it has similar characteristics to SipHash.

Hash table keys are typically quite short, so going crazy with SIMD to push the throughput might not be a great idea.

Actually, coming from a marketing perspective, this model is sort of like the Kickstarter model. Those who take a risk with a logo before the design firm has been established with a reputation will get a high discount factor but as more clients buy logo, the designer establishes a track record and can thus command higher prices since they can show a past history of sales/clients.

For recipes I can highly recommend Paprika. It does a great job of importing recipes and it is cross-platform/device (except linux but you might be able to run it in wine). Only downside is you have to buy it on desktop/tablet/phone separately but it was well worth it for me at a total of $30 ($20 Mac, $5 iPad, $5 iPhone) and it all syncs together. I stumbled across it randomly and now it's all I use. I used to just use my iPad for cooking with the website pulled up or AllRecipies but now I can't imagine going back.

I don't think you can put those things on the same scale. I think it's telling that you dismiss Lisp's syntax like it's unimportant rather than acknowledging that it's the several hundred lb elephant in the room whenever it comes to talking about lisps.

What I'm arguing is that Lispers say that all the parens and lack of other, more expressive constructs are worth it because you get macros. I'm arguing that's a bad trade-off, because 1. that's a big sacrifice, 2. macros aren't a win.

More pragmatically, this can lead to increased crime. Owners of valuable firearms would be targeted by burglars. A robber would easily know which homeowners don't have any guns, and would target them with less risk.

I would imagine the only way that Obama would pardon those two after the election is if Trump won. Clinton will most likely continue the practice of coming down hard on whistle blowers. It would not help her administration in this regard if Obama pardoned people for the very things she wishes to crack down on.

If Trump wins then what difference does it make?
It comes down to the numbers. Falcon 9's first stage accelerates at about 12.5m/s^2. That's about 1.25g's. It does that for 161 seconds, and first stage separation happens at an altitude of 100km, at Mach 6. That'd be A LOT of track to build straight up. The troposphere ends at 20km. People have trouble breathing before you get to there.

Pilots try to keep plane flight take-offs below 1g. You could possibly increase the g load but not everyone is conditioned like a fighter pilot. Even supposing you could get up to speed faster, you'd have a lot more drag in the lower atmosphere. You can't really get up to any significant speed until you exit the troposphere.

And that means building at least 20km, straight up.

that was my solution. i've never found an article on forbes that was really critical to my life that i couldn't live without. generally its some clickbaity headline that i'm only very mildly interested in knowing what they have to say, and i'm happy to find some other source of basically the same information if i actually care. the only thing that forbes offers over their competition is that they wind up at the top of google results because all that ad revenue must get poured into hiring SEO optimization experts...
Well, since I haven't seen what you described other than in small firms, where the first level manager was also the last or the one before last, let me ask you this: does the lowest level manager have the authority to give raises? If not, then does not the raise come from over his head anyways? And if yes, then why is not he or she negotiating your salary from the start? Or is he? If he is then, again, there shouldn't be a problem since you both agreed that your compensation is fair for both sides.
I'm not arguing your opinions are anything other than your opinions.

I don't agree with them however.
> This allows you to state and show meta theorems "for all (small) types", by quantifying over a universe.

As you say, this isn't quite self-trust. Another natural move is to relax the criterion of self-trust away from "it proves itself consistent" (impossible by incompleteness) towards "it assigns high probability that it has good beliefs". (Formalizations of this are in the paper.)

> At the moment I'm just confused what the problem is

In short, it would be nice to have a model of "good reasoning under deductive limitation", where "good reasoning" means something like "has accurate beliefs about all questions of interest" (for example, facts about the outputs of long-running computations), and where "deductive limitation" rules out the reasoning process "just wait for your theorem prover to decide the question".

Examples of long-running computations that are hard to compute exactly, but that we can sometimes still have reasonable beliefs about: optimal moves in chess, go, etc.; the accuracy of some ML system after a given training regimen; a weather-forecasting program that runs a gigantic series of simulations; and so on.

> Still controls everything that goes in and out of Gaza

Gaza is a part of a separate sovereign state, with which Israel has tense foreign relations and is within its rights to control exports. and they're posting border guards for those exiting it. It's legally no different from inspections that take place at U.S./Mexico border checkpoints.

> They also reserve the "right" to invade Gaza whenever necessary

Source?

Source? No country is obligated (except for E.U. member states) to allow the free flow of people without visas. The only thing I've read which might qualify for this claim is naval blockade of the coastline.

Russian Hackers Leak Simone Biles and Serena Williams Files
This is partly because of the North Hollywood bank robbery, with the two men dressed head-to-toe in home-made body armor, where the 9 mm pistols and shotguns the police had were ineffective in stopping them. Some of the cops went to local gunshops to borrow some AR-15s that were able to penetrate the armor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout

Afterwards, a lot of police departments started issuing Patrol Rifles (M-16s) to their officers (usually carried in the trunk of their cars) either purchased from firearm dealers/wholesalers, but also via the Department of Defense's 1033 program.

I'll start over for him. Gorhill was the author of uBlock. He got tired of maintaining it, gave it up and willingly allowed chrisaljoudi to take the project. chrisaljoudi later started asking for donations, allegedly hasn't changed the code much except for some visual tweaks and added things like "Made by Chris" to the website. Some drama ensues, people accuse chrisaljoudi of being greedy, he makes some changes to how he presents things and Gorhill seemingly regrets giving the project up and instead of taking it back, (not sure if he tried or not) he forks the project and goes back to maintaining it, so now there would be 2 uBlocks. However there was an issue where Google removed the Gorhill's version from the store because it was a dupe of chrisaljoudi's version (which yes, used to "belong" to Gorhill), so Gorhill renamed the repo he was maintaining to uBlock Origin.

tl;dr Gorhill started uBlock, got fed up & gave it to chrisaljoudi, later did a reversal, forked the project and continued with maintaining that fork, only now his version is called uBlock Origin.

I am a sample of one, but I've generally found exit interviews awkward and tedious. In my mind, they stink for all parties. The person leaving genuinely doesn't want to burn bridges, so they tend to overstate the positive and gloss over the negative.

When I manage people, I prefer going out for coffee/a walk with someone once a week. I ask them for candid feedback on what I'm good at, what I suck at, and how I can make their jobs easier/more rewarding. And, after they leave, I like to invite them out for a pint/coffee a few weeks after they've been in a new gig. The pint/coffee is mostly social, but I've gotten some amazing feedback once the pressure of 'keeping the reference' has been removed.

But again, I'm a sample of one and I have a thicker skin than average. Heck, I was a fat kid who moved around a lot and stuttered. Hearing that I'm a shitty manager doesn't even register....:)

Here's the example of Balotelli, an athlete that might have ADHD. I've even found an article claiming precisely that:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/football/618456/kop-stars-...

Well, his career is seriously troubled because of his behaviour. Which suggests that the ability to focus and manage impulses and delay gratification has an important impact on an athlete's success. Therefore any drug that can enhance focus has also an impact on the success of a professional athlete, I think there can be little doubt about that.

Hey eternalban,
thanks, very interesting comments!
It's plain to see that you have a deeper / more theoretical perspective on distsys than I tend to have.

Would you describe universal semantics as being "Turing-complete in the context of a distributed system"?

One way to look at it is that Correctables are essentially just wrappers over traditional RPCs. So in this sense they would enable universal semantics -- you can treat the whole space of transitions in a distributed system.

Now it's not clear to me why you need the make the distinction between CP and AP. ICG is orthogonal to these categories. Consider the following example. Say you're using MySQL (a CP system) and you also have a client-side cache (essentially AP). A Correctable can supply results from either or both of these systems: if it's either, then it will manifest as an AP or as an CP system (depending where the result arrives from -- you can choose); if it's both, then you'll essentially get an AP system, since it's possible that your result from MySQL is forsaken due to a partition.

Does this make sense?

> re: IAG /\ ICG

Incremental availability guarantees I'd say it's a bit of a misnomer, since availability is not such a shaded guarantee as consistency is. I regard availability as a black & white property, whereas consistency is a whole spectrum of colours -- even more, which can be represented as a directed acyclic graph. Even so, the concept of IAG would have some practical consequences.

I'll now run the risk of taking it maybe a bit too far: but I think whenever an application chooses a consistency model, that model inherently comes along with its own preset availability guarantee. As consistency models get stronger, there is an instant switch from available to non-available models. [I should cite some refs here but I'm in a hurry.] Consequently, if you have incremental consistency guarantees then you also have decreasing availability guarantees.

Also, your analogy to wave-particle duality is very interesting, though it's a shame that it's above my head to ponder over it. I'll read more about it to see if I can connect the dots.

The US coastal cities are the only place you can make a decent career? As someone who doesn't live in a coastal city, and makes a very, very good living, I find that hilariously inaccurate. If I look at the list of fortune 500 companies with a large presence in Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Minneapolis, I'd say you're about as wrong as could possibly be. Unless by "decent living" you mean "startup valued at billions of dollars".
