One of the biggest problems with putting all this in a single location is that, no matter how secure the location is from the elements, it is not secure to people (or else it would be useless).

Given the length of time imagined, I think the odds that the place is accessible by individuals or groups who believe they should destroy the data approaches 100%.

See the deliberate destruction of ancient sites all across the Middle East. See the sacking of Rome by the Vandals, the *goths, and the Normans. See the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. See the rise in religious extremists who seem specifically to hate artifacts belonging to other cultures on their soil.

What are you using to test single-page web apps across mobile devices?
My startup (www.helpwith.co) is built on meteor.js, and we're having bit of trouble testing across different mobile devices and OS versions. Most testing software is either for conventional sites or native apps (not single page JS apps).

I've seen dozens of saas options out there for multi device testing, but there is too much noise in that space that it's hard to determine which option would be best for a pre-revenue startup.

I'd love to hear your experiences/ suggestions!
The educational system is a scapegoat for far bigger and more entrenched problems.
Mob mentality isn't just a Reddit thing, it's a human thing.
Yeah, I wrestled with that briefly.

For anyone not in the know, declaring `const` on an object only makes it where you can't re-assign the object, but you can still mutate its 'members'.

Personally, I use `let` just to symbolize that it isn't a constant and does change even though I could declare it a `const`.

I think it makes the code more readable.
The solution is to diminish the income gap.

If we believe that few employers are happy to carry employees who provide a net productivity deficit, then on the face of it we cannot assume that those who are impoverished and employed are not meaningfully productive. The question we ought to ask ourselves is how much disparity is acceptable to allow across the incomes of productive individuals; or more bluntly, why do the executive and management typically earn several orders of magnitude more than the producers? Is it necessary to encourage upward motivation, or is it exploitative and predatory?

I used to think that whole idea was crap, until I started seriously eating spicy foods. Now I really love the different flavors, not just heat, you get from peppers. Habanero are almost fruity, Jalapeno more like an amped up bell pepper, and so on. Then you have the differences in quality of burn; is it a numbing burn like szechuan pepper? A "back of the throat, choke you" burn like a Thai chili?

I feel like the provided chart doesn't quite match up well with the presented narrative. Granted it's hard to evaluate since they neglect to define what the bar for rich and poor is, however, assuming by rich and poor they mean born in the 1st and 5th quartiles by income, the chart would imply over 80% of 1st quartile dropouts fall at least one income quartile and corresponding graduating college (note there's no stratification as to what kind of college, ie whether predatory for profit schools are included, breakdowns by tier of university, etc) results in income mobility (measured by an increase of one or more income quintiles) for over 80% of 5th quartile students.

Granted, I think a better state would be closer to 100% of college graduates are able to live comfortable lives, but I think the data doesn't point to the doom and gloom of insurmountable educational advantage the author seems to want to present.

If you worked very hard to become rich in your life (and presumably secure a future for your children), then congratulations, your hard work paid off.

If your children squander your fortune and squabble over their inheritance, how you feel about that is entirely up to you.

Warren Buffet said he would donate the vast majority of his wealth to charity upon his death. When asked about inherentance for his children, he said that a couple hundred thousand each would be enough.

Parting thought: if your children waste the fortune that you worked so hard to build, that says just as much about you as it does your children.

But this is all hypothetical. I'm sure you have fine kids.

I giggled at the thought oh being DDOS'ed solely by RGB light blubs all turning red when they get "Tango Down" (I have a thing for lights, i'm 33 going on 14) and then deeply sighed because I don't think we are that far off from a large DDOS solely done by light blubs. :-(
You would think, wouldn't you? It's an interesting concept.

If I'm going to loan you $1,000 I'd like to get references, talk to all the other people you've borrowed money from and ask them if you paid it back to show you are able to handle debt. You get other people to vouch for you that you are good on that $1,000. If you have nobody to vouch for you I'd be more hesitant to loan you money. Or ask you for a higher interest rate.

This gives you an incentive to borrow money and always pay it back. In fact just having an open line of credit you aren't using makes you look better. "I have the opportunity to max out my cards but I am not."

Its perverse but it does make logical sense. Its a different kind of responsible.

The other reason people use cards is many cards, as an incentive to get you to use them, give you perks. For example, airline miles, hotel points, cash back, warranty extension, price protection, purchase protection, rental car insurance, etc, etc.
Fundamentally I think that we have to get rid of the concept of a teacher and replace it with person who helps you when you get stuck. I think that fundamentally, the school should just teach you to read as soon as possible and from there on it should just give you things to read. You should also have much more freedom in what you want to study, e.g. if you want to check out idk, optical engineering in high school (even if for the reason that it sounds cool), the high school should be able to somehow assemble a path for you.

I think that just about everyone has dreams that can be solved with more knowledge and skill. The path to achieving these isn't always very clear though. The school should be the organization that gives you that clarity and supports you.

Is there anywhere we can see this evidence? Objectively I'm curious how an attack which consisted of basic phishing was determined to be definitively supported by the Russian government.

I understand your question now was more about function scoping versus block scoping from a language design perspective, and not about specific to JavaScript. It wasn't clear from your comment you were heading in that direction. Having var enable you to make use of function scoping is useful to JavaScript developers who have, up until this point in history, have always had function scoping. As parent mentioned, using var allows you define the variables where you are. It makes the code more readable. As far as function scoping versus block scoping I don't have much of a say, as I am not sure there are any meaningful advantages, merely minor ones, but none that would impact productivity if you were experienced in one or the other. Maybe you could convince me otherwise?

I always found it interesting that our way of rating spiciness is through the subjective Scoville scale. Directly from wikipedia:

> In Scoville's method, an exact weight of dried pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the heat components (capsinoids), then diluted in a solution of sugar water.[3][4][5] Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution.[4][5][6] The heat level is based on this dilution, rated in multiples of 100 SHU.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale#Scoville_organo...

In other words, the test is fully subjective and has been found to be unreliable:

> A weakness of the Scoville Organoleptic Test is its imprecision due to human subjectivity, depending on the taster's palate and their number of mouth heat receptors, which varies greatly among people.[6] Another weakness is sensory fatigue:[6] the palate is quickly desensitised to capsaicins after tasting a few samples within a short time period.[4] Results vary widely (up to ± 50%) between laboratories

It essentially represents an agent gaining "real world experience", maybe the most important thing for a general intelligence bot. The documentation doesn't appear to describe obtaining the concepts for the graph, so I'm wondering, from where or through what methods do you get the concepts for your CGKB graph?
