Because there are so many auxiliary routes that they have to get reused. The main rule is that they can't be in the same state, although that's not necessarily enough to guarantee that the names don't get confusion. I-395 is the spur of 95 in Virginia into DC and the spur of 95 into Baltimore, while 695 is both in DC and in the Baltimore suburbs, which are about an hour apart in driving terms.
The problem with third parties is that it is, somehow, a vote for Trump[0] and Hillary[1]. Then there's the "lesser of two evils" fallacy[2] some Hillary supporters use. It's actually sad how people think there's no escape from the two party system.

There's not enough data yet to say for sure, but currently Tesla's autopilot record is one fatality per 70 million miles (assuming the recent Chinese death involved autopilot)

You can compare this to your local road stats. I don't think autopilot is there yet in terms of safety.
"the lack of trust is at the core of the Chinese society" you get it completely wrong. It is the opposite actually. People trust each others to "give back" and that's why guanxi are very effective. That's also why foreigners are not included in these circles: they have proven enough they can't be trusted.

The lack of trust is at the core of the State and the legislative system (cf Hobbes) which is distinctive of Western societies.
What the last reports I've read indicated was that identity trumped objectification, i.e. what engages players for the long haul is not a random boobshot, but a character that represents them in the way they want to be represented. For this reason defaulting female characters towards conventional supermodel aesthetics is a minus if only because it acts to close off all the options of substance - big bodies, short bodies, "homely" or "motherly" presentations, etc.

Furthermore, it's less risky to go the route of the "strong female protagonist" if you have to choose one (binary) gender, as it engages women more and has negligible impact on men vs. a similar male protagonist. That's one I remember clearly but would have to dig a little to find the source for again.

Of course, targeting may fall differently if we're simply looking at conversion on a banner ad, as in the infamous "Evony" ad campaign:

Data can be faked, manipulated, unless you can trace it back to its origin and ensure it was recorded properly. There are multiple cases (even recent ones) where investigators modified the results of their trials in order to make them look better than they were.

Only replication can alleviate that concern.

If you want to blow that up into a giant hyperbole that's on you. Making people aware of what is going on doesn't limit anyone's speech or actions.
Yeah, it always kind of bugs me when "guanxi" and "face" get treated as uniquely Chinese concepts. Sure, things like utilitarian relationships and public image are going to differ from culture to culture, but that's true for everything (friendships, birthday parties, etc.). And even within one macro-culture, these concepts are going to be different depending on the region, class, age, background etc.
Aston's tenure at Dropbox (four and half years) is "very long" in Silicon Valley terms in general and in early stage startup terms in particular.

As for being "randos that aren't very impressive in their own right", you're zeroed in on a set of people who joined a startup before there was much traction, let alone profit, with almost the same risk as the founders but with less upside. That group is going to skew young and/or unsuccessful before they join and, since the interviews are conducted with #1 employees at successful companies, will skew towards having FU money for their post-exit careers.
No, you don't need to do meta-analysis. Without combining the results of multiple trials together, you can see if an observed effect in one trial is found in other trials through independent analysis.

My perhaps-naive response to anybody in this situation would be: you should always be building relationships with people who'd be happy to hire you at a moment's notice.

To do that, you'll want to be able to talk about things you've achieved. Network with your community, give talks, etc. Get known as the person who can build things, or get customers, and you should be getting job offers.

If you're quietly working on your own thing and nobody knows or cares about you, then yeah you're going to struggle to get a job afterwards. But if you're known as a person who gets stuff done, you should be able to get a job at least at a venture-funded startup, I believe.

We are seeing capacity factors well over 45% in Panhandle now. ERCOT rated the various windy areas of the state back in 2006. Scurry Co. was 10th or 14th if I remember correctly. Not as high cap fac as Amarillo and other areas north of Lubbock. But CREZ Panhandle is already constrained due to the nature of putting lines in the middle of nowhere with no load and no inertia. Scurry Co is on the other side of the constraint, so good move on Amazon's part. Great location with respect to wind resource and transmission access and deliverability.

The full paragraph regarding "trust, bonding, reciprocity, and empathy" might help:

"In the Western perspective, trust is referred to as mutual reliability, dependability, and reciprocity. However, in the Eastern perspective, trust is also synonymous with obligation, in which guanxi is expected to be maintained through continuous long-term association and interaction. Whereas bonding in a Western context may refer simply to common interests with the client, bonding in an Eastern context refers to a close friendship with the client. The Chinese system of wu-lune (the basic norms of guanxi) supports this Eastern attitude, emphasizing that one’s fulfillment of one’s responsibilities in a given role ensures the smooth functioning of Chinese society. Reciprocity is also a dimension which is much more emphasized in the East than in the West. According to Confucianism, each individual is encouraged to become a yi-ren (righteous person) and repay a favor with significantly more than one has received. Lastly, empathy is a dimension that is highly embedded in Eastern business relations, more so than in its Western counterpart. The Confucian understanding of ren, which also equates to “Do not do to others as one does not want others to do to him”, stresses the importance for sellers and customers to understand each other’s needs.[19]"
This is great news for ecosystems everywhere!

But there may be a downside. It remains unclear how human SO2 emissions contribute to sulfate aerosol levels in the stratosphere, and so increase albedo. As China reduces SO2 emissions, global warming may accelerate.[0] Maybe getting those emissions directly into the stratosphere would be useful. But that would require nontrivial energy.

Before even reading the article (Hey, I'm a real blogger!): Perhaps because they (rightly or not) feel they have been pushed to the borders of society and rendered unable to provide for themselves and their families by government policies, such as for example free trade agreements that have destroyed factory jobs (for example in the Rust Belt in the US and in areas of the UK that voted in favour of Brexit).

> Start slow, build your foundation, learn your bits and bytes,
> data structures and sorting algorithms first then venture out.

Maybe that works if you've already convinced yourself that you're going to learn to program no matter what. That certainly wasn't me, though.

In my experience, the challenge for beginners is that they lose interest and make no progress at all, not that they take some suboptimal path.

It's like picking up a guitar. You can come up with the Perfect Five-Year Roadmap and preach about how someone should first learn music theory and proper form before taking a crack at it. But for most people, that's dull and they'd never learn guitar if they had to do that before jumping in and just trying.

I think beginners should optimize for doing anything at all, and nothing should be advised against as a suboptimal route. The optimal route is the one that compels them, even if it amounts to faking it til they make it with a game framework and devoting 75% of their time to things completely unrelated to programming.

Sorting algorithms? Bits and bytes? Seriously? I started dozing off during that sentence and I've been programming in some form for at least 10 years. That's not how you're going to woo most people into programming.

The Paradox of Musical Description
The graphics stack in Android is badly designed. It is that way for historical reasons. Android used to do CPU-based blitting -- similar to other mobile platforms at the time: Symbian OS and Windows Pocket PC. Then the first iPhone launched & it became clear that GPU rendering was the way to go for mobile UI drawing.

Rather than rebuild the graphics stack from the ground around GPU rendering, GPU support was tacked on to the existing graphics stack. Resulting in this franken-architecture: http://source.android.com/devices/graphics/architecture.html

That guide has such gems as:

"Once upon a time this was done with software blitting to a hardware framebuffer (e.g. /dev/graphics/fb0), but those days are long gone."

"While this section uses SurfaceFlinger terminology, WindowManager uses the term window instead of layer…and uses layer to mean something else. (It can be argued that SurfaceFlinger should really be called LayerFlinger.)"

"Some things that work with Surfaces want a SurfaceHolder, notably SurfaceView. The original idea was that Surface represented the raw compositor-managed buffer, while SurfaceHolder was managed by the app and kept track of higher-level information like the dimensions and format. The Java-language definition mirrors the underlying native implementation. It's arguably no longer useful to split it this way, but it has long been part of the public API."

etc.

I would say Counter-Strike (especially GO with it's matchmaking) is a good example of a successful international game. It was not uncommon to have Chinese, Russians, Japanese, Koreans, etc. on the same server. A lot of people have learned a few words from other languages like "thanks" or "fuck you". There is some basic coordination of tactics too because the goals in the game are "A" and "B", or asking a teammate to buy a weapon for you, a "drop".

There is a lack of trust in China's rule of law and beaurucratic systems, which is quite justified. Given that you can't expect the system to work well on its own, the next step is to intervene through the use of family, professional, and personal connections.

Foreigners are definitely included in these circles, it is just that their use is very limited (what good is an English teacher in your network, or a software engineer).

I'm a grumpy geek who went down this path a few years ago and here's my $.02... It is a fairly complex, and in some cases downright convoluted, API for the functionality it offers and the tools are pretty crude. The good news is that it is logical and you can get used to it, the bad news is it is a constantly moving target (i.e. API bit rot can progress at an amazing rate on Android if you try to keep current with the SDK revisions. I've lost count of the number of policy changes and reversals on subsequent releases) Unless you have a professional need or burning curiosity, I probably wouldn't bother with it.

> Any game which requires language for cooperation is a non-starter.

Some games have a fixed set of messages/soundbites which is enough for some basic coordination, which then can be translated in all client languages. Sure, for high-level play you often will want voice chat, but it works for normal online games.

And of course very basic English can go a long way in text chats.

I may have felt like this when I started playing with android (4-5 years ago), but not anymore. It definitely gets better. Notice that I am not a full-time android developer however I have developed a bunch of part-time projects for Android.

The API is not really complex if you know a few basics (services/ activities/ broadcastasts/ lifecycle/ intents/ handlers/ ui/ ui thread/data storage) and then just know where to look for the answers(the android docs and tutorials are good and there's an answer to everything in SO).

Also you need to have a solid understanding of Java or you'll definitely have problems. So my proposal is to grok the (few) needed basics and the just go all-in and try to implement a full application so that you'll get the needed friction with the android environment.
Agile Is Dead, Long Live Agile

Trump really knows how to seize advantage of a weakness.

And remember, he's already primed the pump.

He's labeled Clinton as "crooked" and "lacking stamina" far before all this happened. He must have seen something, cause everything she's done since then has confirmed it.
> I'm pointing out that they are intentionally using pepe memes to make their ideas seem innocuous. And they get retweeted widely. It's a fact, choose to do what you want with it.

The same would be true if they posted Mickey Mouse memes or anything else. To claim Pepe memes by default have any sort of racist undertones (as the Clinton campaign is doing) is false.

> Making people aware of what is going on doesn't limit anyone's speech or actions

Except with that article on Hillary's site, it's not being done to 'make people aware' it's done to brand Pepe as being racist so that when you see regular Trump supporters posting completely innocent Pepe memes (which they do with regularity) it creates the illusion that a large number of Trump supporters are racist (some are I'm sure but the same goes for any group that contains tens of millions of people).

Taking a white-supremacist at his word that Pepe is part of their movement also give them power and notoriety that they wouldn't otherwise have. By 'making people aware' you are giving voice to people who otherwise wouldn't be heard.

Don't believe me? Look at Google Trends for something like 'David Duke'

Who do you think is responsible for creating that upsurge in interest?

Who are the people quoting Duke in articles and writing pages and pages of content about him?

Back in elementary school, my history teacher taught us to be careful when saying "the <people of a certain group> all..." precisely to avoid the oversimplified brush strokes you are using to generalize one out of six people in the world. Living with some part of said group for a lifetime, let alone a couple of years, is hardly enough to qualify someone to take on the entire group. Saying "the Chinese" all engage in shameful law-breaking practices as second nature is the sort of thinking that leads to things like banning Chinese scientists from US research programs.

That said, guanxi, as a sibling post speculates, is all about trust. It's the idea that beyond a simple task at hand, there is a deeper relationship to be honored, for whatever reason. The "developed" world on the other hand loves the notion of contract and enforcement through the rule of law, so that people wouldn't need to rely on silly things like trust and good will.

This is not a relevant analogy because it's not under dispute that Clinton used her email address for personal conversations, and there is nothing in the Reddit post or the Hill news story that indicates whether we're talking about personal or official business emails.

If your employer tried to force Gmail to turn over to them all your emails with your spouse and friends, no matter the subject or content, you and Google would fight it. And rightly so.

The House GOP members of the Benghazi committee are trying their hardest to get their hands on Clinton's personal emails, to dig for embarrassing messages to release. They already have her official business emails; they have had them for years. And they have openly admitted that the entire purpose of the committee is to undercut her presidential campaign.
