So you are saying there is some kind of scam to overestimate the rise in sea levels caused by global warming?
Except it was popular over there already before Pandaria was even released. I'd warrant that it would have continued to be popular if Pandaria wasn't released.
The sun is becoming 10% more luminous every billion years as it approaches its red giant phase. This is very long term, but in effect it will increase the amount of heat on Earth over time.

The Earth will be uninhabitable long before the sun goes red giant though! About a billion years from now [1].

1000+ stars is a pretty big deal! I imagine you could leverage this to gain software development job interviews if you were looking.

Do they matter? It is just one of many metrics of how useful a repository is. I think it's one of the most public metrics that can be distilled to a single factoid on HN. There are absolutely better metrics to judge the quality of software.
Does it? What does it prove? Why does shining the spotlight on self-proclaimed Internet racists actually accomplish? Especially seeing as how much of the racism seems to mostly be in service of attention-seeking?

What do you get out of proving that self-proclaimed racists [do x], as a small subset of people who [do x]?
You completely failed to substantiate your initial claim. This has no content whatsoever.
There's a fun bit of trivia to that; it's actually I-84 that's the exception.

Back when the Interstate Highway System was created, it was designed with intentional forks in the road that will both go to the same start and end points but get there in different ways. These forks shared the same number but had directional indicator suffixes. One example of this was I-80S and I-80N.

Eventually, AASHTO decided that system was confusing, so they decided to eliminate most directional suffixes and assign unique numbers to each highway. As such, I-80S became I-80, and I-80N became I-84. They would've used I-82, but that highway already existed, and they decided against resigning an existing non-suffixed interstate.

Some directional suffixes continue to exist, but only for interstates that fork for the duration of a single metropolitan area with two principal cities. The best-known example of this is I-35, which forks into I-35E and I-35W twice, once in Dallas-Fort Worth and again in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

That's where Boston Dynamics got their legged locomotion technology. They hired the professor at McGill, Dr. Martin Buehler, who was in charge of that project.
Pedestrians and cyclists are subsidized as they pay nothing at all for their infrastructure.

Comparisons across many orders of magnitude are not insightful. Pedestrians and cyclists can travel over unimproved ground, or gravel if they're being picky. Any road that currently serves automobiles could serve the same number of drivers as pedestrians and cyclists for centuries with no maintenance.

For a company that takes around two months to review your profile and/or compare it with other candidates (or whatever they do during that time) I expect less arrogance during these code challenges because I am yet to find a developer who can write code like a robot.

Route 666 was renamed because people kept stealing the signs for novelty value, and it was costing the state too much money to keep replacing the signs again and again and again. IIRC, they even rolled out signs that were supposedly "theftproof"; they got stolen anyway, and it cost the state a lot of money to develop them.
That's an over the top rant, but as a woman I agree with her basic premise: the "women are less visual" thing is a total lie and tied neatly into the "women desire sex less than men" lie.

Looks are important to many women just as they are important to many men. There's nothing to be ashamed of and there is no point in denying human sexuality.

Fuzzy logic.

> In 1989 he reportedly said "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

Last I checked, "Jewish" was not an ethnicity, but a belief system.

> He spent 5 years pushing the birther conspiracy even after Obama produced his birth certificate. He also implied that Obama was a Muslim despite his claims to the contrary.

Muslim is not a race. How is asking if the president was born in the US racist?

> He's implied several times that Obama sides with terrorists because of his upbringing.

Upbringing is a race?

> He started his campaign with this quote: "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.

Mexico is a country, not a race.

> He said a judge was unqualified to preside over a Trump University lawsuit because he was Mexican

Mexican is not a race. Louis CK is mexican.

> He uses language like "My African American", "The Muslims", and "The Hispanics".

African american is not a race. Charlize Theron is African American. Islam is not a race, it's a belief system. Hispanics - so he's racist against Spaniards or just mestizos?

> He refused to disavow David Duke on air until he "researched him more." He said he didn't know who he was, but it turns out there are numerous example of him mentioning David Duke in the past. He had primaries in southern states coming up, so publicly disavowing David Duke would have likely hurt him. Especially since David Duke has been campaigning for him. He did eventually disavow him after the media made a huge deal about it.

He did eventually disavow him, after agreeing with none of his views. Your point is?

> He repeatedly refers to Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas".

She has provided no documentation for her purportedly Native American heritage, even when pressed by the Cherokee.

> He said "They don’t look like Indians to me" about a Native American tribe that ran a competing casino.

How is that racist? I often say to my friends "I thought you were Japanese. You don't look chinese."

> He said "Maybe [the protester] should have been roughed up,” he mused. “It was absolutely disgusting what he was doing." about a Black Lives matter protester at his rally.

Way to dog whistle. He said his actions are deplorable, and he mentioned the (racist) name of the movement he was associated with.

> He said "I will say that people who are following me are very passionate,” Trump said. “They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate." when asked about supporters who beat a homeless Latino man because "they all need to be deported."

Was the homeless Latino man an illegal immigrant or a citizen? If he was an illegal immigrant, he should be deported.

This is the dream of the internet making culture available to the masses. I've loved Google Art Project for a while, and news of more art coming online is fantastic. My wife is an art teacher and this kind of news makes her giddy.

Great post that sums up the concept very well.

A very good and realistic, although slightly exaggerated example of the things written here is the book "Party Members" by Arthur Meursault [1]. It has quite a few fantastic scenes describing building and using guanxi as it is done in China on a daily basis. It may seem extreme to those who haven't lived or done business in China, but that's the grim reality of it.

Yes, you are correct (generally speaking).
Hmm, could be zsh.
I do need to admit that I did not consider that these game could have adapted more to the Asian markets. I guess I need to reorganize my thoughts and perhaps do more research.

I do not know much and this is pure speculation, but I feel like WoW's art change is a result of constant tweaking while in the Asian markets instead of a deliberate trend. This intrigues me into asking if Chinese games' traditional style (not the anime ones) will have any luck in western markets at all or it will be force to be westernized to gain popularity in western markets in the first place.

T Boone was too far ahead of the transmission infrastructure with his plan. The SPP lines were not capable of moving much wind (pre ITP build-out) and the ERCOT CREZ plans were just a twinkle in our eyes at the time. We came up with ERCOT CREZ prelim plans about 2006 but it took until 2013/14 to get em built and energized. So, he launched his boat too early, he did not miss the boat.

In 1974, when Bill lost a bid for senate, Hillary called his campaign manager a "fucking jew bastard."

Hillary as First Lady called black men "super predators" that need to be "brought to heel."

Hillary Clinton started the birther conspiracy.

Hillary took part in a scripted joke with Bill de Blasio about "colored people time."

Hillary voted as a Senator to build a wall between Mexico and the United States.

Trump calls Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" because she lied about her ethnicity for support.
I should have been more clear when I referenced H1B. My personal opinion about the program is that it is deeply flawed, mostly because it is a sort of legalized indentured servitude.

I doubt Trump has those same feelings however, as he hires H1B works at his own club in Palm Beach instead of Americans. If he was morally opposed to the program, I doubt he would do that.

I brought it up because he talks about it in a way to scapegoat foreigners, appealing to the darker angels of people who have racist tendencies and are looking for someone to blame. I find such a tactic reprehensible, and I personally do not draw a distinction between someone who acts on racist feelings and someone who makes racist appeals to those who act on racist feelings.

> I have mentioned in previous threads on the subject that julia's 1-indexed arrays don't matter much in practice because the generic APIs hide that fact most of the time.

My guess is that most people who prefer zero-based feel strongly about it, and most people that like one-based don't care that much. If it really doesn't matter that much, I think Julia should've gone with zero. FFTs, Vandermonde matrices (least squares), polynomials, and pretty much anything where the array subscript relates to the mathematics is cleaner with zero-based arrays.
Unless the vote is decided by a handful of ballots, one must consider whether their vote has more utility as a protest ballot against the status quo.
"You" clearly haven't even read or seen the speech and are talking completely out of your ass. It was one of his opening talking points in his presidential announcement in New York City to his cronies - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/06...

It's pretty straightforward xenophobic, hyper jingoist nationalist rhetoric. You = us good Americans. They = the Other. He uses the car industry for Japan, a conservative talking point since the 80s. For Mexico he harps on immigration and calls them rapists. It's aggregate and subjectivity-denying. It's racist and dumb.
And he may be right for n=1, but I know of n>1 instances where he's incorrect and whole teams were not taken. I even know of one instance where the CEO/founder was non-technical and they refused to allow him to remain in charge of the product post-acquisition. The direct of product, who was a Google SWE before the acquisition, took over.
The actual reason for all of this is because both major American political parties have discovered, as many corporations have over the past few years, that the only thing that matters when it comes to persuasion is appeals to one's identity and emotions directly. As it turns out, people don't give a crap about logic, reason, facts, deduction... our day-to-day lives are complex enough as it is, only a few of us can actually afford the time to research all of the media's claims, and thus, reactionary, controversial, attention-grabbing headlines (not full articles, who reads those anyways?) dictate what people believe is the truth.

So yeah, you and I look at that modal popup and think, "ew gross, why are you trying THIS hard to shove this negative image of your opponent down my throat, before I can even see a single fact about you and your campaign?", but I can totally see why they would do such a thing. People are very susceptible to being persuaded by these strong emotional accusations—it seems to me that the dialog is saying, "hey, you're not one of those filthy TRUMP supporters, ARE YOU? If not, prove it by clicking this button below." I believe that such a persuasive device is far more effective than either of us can imagine.

"Life feels like a game" really resonates with me. I've actually used that phrase before. I don't play video games much because I find tons of math and programming stuff fun and interesting.

This claim cain only be made by somebody ignorant of the history of racism: racism almost always lives with a non-racist pretext. Here are a couple of examples, though many more exist:

Lynchings were instigated by an accusation of a crime - the perpetrators could claim they weren't racist, they were just keeping their communities safe! [1]

Japanese internment too had a non-racist pretext: people of Japanese descent were claimed to be disloyal citizens with greater allegiance to Japan (even after being born in the USA or becoming naturalized) than the USA. [2]

We know that the debate about undocumented immigrants isn't about to Europeans who overstay their tourist visas or Canadians sneaking across the border: it is about a single ethnic group (hispanic) who have come across the Mexican border. This means that 'undocumented' can easily be a euphemism for 'hispanic', allowing people to shift racist statements into ostensibly non-racist ones. While not all discussions of undocumented immigrants are racist, some certainly are a form of dog whistle [3]

Honest question: did you actually read past the first two paragraphs?

I am astonished that any educated person could lend any support whatsoever to an article that uses terms like "genetic superiors." The premise is that only beautiful people are human beings.
I wasn't really trying to convince him, I just think making drastic life decisions based on what sounds in essence to me like "whining" is possibly less than ideal, he had many other choices available to him if simply paying a long mortgage was the prime motivating factor.

Why Do People Who Need Help from the Government Hate It So Much?
Interesting. Noted.
I have a first.last@gmail.com email address. At first, I was super annoyed that I kept getting emails meant for firstlast@gmail.com and was upset that Google kept sending those emails to me. But as I later understood that Gmail is simply trying to avoid creation of multiple email accounts that are too similar, I realized something else. People are just ignorant and stupid. It's not Google's fault if those people don't know the correct email address of the person that they're trying to contact.

So people will continue to email the wrong person, and I will continue to receive those emails. Although I don't know why nobody ever emails first.last@gmail.com as the wrong email. It's always firstlast@gmail.com. But whatever.

Because of people's ignorance and stupidity, I am changing my email address to a custom domain hosted by fastmail.com. It's just worth it in the end. Besides that, I'm currently living in China, and Fastmail is accessible here without VPN, while Gmail isn't. So two birds with one stone.

But it was not wanting to deal with ignorant and stupid people that was the driver for this move. The number of such wrongly directed emails seem to be increasing. Grr.
This is wrong, as a matter of law. It doesn't matter who set up the email account - any emails you generate as part of official business are official records. They're government property.

There will be a few hour lull after Texas solar goes dark and before night wind kicks in.

This is a great question. Bull markets (in retrospect) select for aggressive risk-takers without much regard for their sophistication, and bear markets the reverse. You'd basically want to perform this analysis on everyone doing this type of trading over a period of like 25 years.

You say that as if the media sycophants would not be trumpeting such a connection 24/7 if Trump had one. That is my point. It does not matter if he claimed to have repented (you know, after filibustering the Civil Rights act of 1964), they would have spun it against him anyway. The fact that they haven't even mentioned Byrd is proof of bias.

I doubt this is always true. I've been involved in acqui{hire,sition} due diligence for a number of startup at a couple of different (large) internet companies.

Here is the thing. When you are cleared onto a classified project or given access to classified data, you sign several documents in which you accept responsibility for safeguarding our national security by protecting that information. If an employee of Lockheed Martin engaged in similar behavior, e.g. making references to SCI information outside of a SCIF, with only properly cleared personnel they could go to prison. Regardless of the markings she caused SCI information to be transmitted in the clear which shows a certain level of disregard for the policies that are in place to protect us and it would appear that she did so for her own convenience (if you assume the most pure motives). The reader will have to decide if this behavior, while adjudicated as reckless but not criminal is a simple instance of poor judgement by her handlers or indicative of deeper issues with the candidate.
