I wouldn't say that. For generally law-abiding citizens like me, the lack of availability has done wonders to protect me from drugs. At some point or another in my life, I've been tempted to experiment with the legal drugs (alcohol, tobacco, etc.) I've never been tempted to try LSD or cocaine (for example), because there is currently no legal way to obtain it

Is the law really the only thing that keeps you away from harder drugs? Don't you think that it's your own willpower?

Like you, I'm generally law abiding, but thanks to certain friends, I have easy access to a number of illegal drugs - and it's in an relatively safe environment where my chance of getting caught is quite low.

But despite that access, the only drugs I've ever used in my life are alcohol and marijuana (well ok, I'm literally addicted to caffeine). I've never even tried cigarettes.

It's not the law that keeps me away from certain drugs, I just don't want to do them.

Indeed. For those curious, CT is designed to "discover" SCTs that were not publicly shown by the log, so that the log can operate without a lot of trust, though this did not happen here (someone just found them operating two logs...)

I guess I'm not the best person to criticize other logs, though. :-)
It seems that a lot big players are betting fixed wireless for the urban market(instead of the smaller rural market) . It's probably the main purpose of 5G. And there's some nice technical innovation(cohere promises to solve fading, tarana talks about working in urban non-line-of-sight) . And even LTE-A offers nice capacities in that context.

So why are you betting against it ?

Oops, I meant to say "you can't argue that it's not a widely-used key".
I'm not sure, exactly - most of the discussions about whether Fiber would be viable happened long before I was on the team, and in any case I wasn't privy to them. Here is Milo Medin's (Google Fiber's "founder") testimony before the House Oversight Committee on regulatory issues in ISPs:

It's really as simple as sitting down in front of an empty wall, closing your eyes (or not), and counting each breath 10 times (I like to count one full breath as "one count" rather than counting an inhale as one and exhale as two), then repeating back to the beginning. Whenever your thoughts go elsewhere you remind yourself to focus on the current number you're on. Really helps clear the mind and can even occasionally experience a state of euphoria in the process.

The box wouldn't be WiFi. That doesn't have enough bandwidth for the target results. It would be a wire or optical fiber, and it probably won't be a continuous stream of direct neighbors: people would run it across the street through storm sewers, string it up on utility poles, bury it an inch deep across the local park or unknowing intermediate neighbors, or even renting a trencher or pipe layer and installing it like a utility would... However they can get it. The data finds a way. Legally, those require permits.

This is really unfortunate. All Google Fiber had to do in Austin was announce their intentions and cable internet prices went down and speeds went up practically overnight.

I don't hold much hope for metro broadband either, mostly due to law suits.
For the octave, if you heard them at the same time they would be a bit harder to distinguish than most other ratios, so it would be nice if the example let you do that.

And yeah, the "bad" example is not really very bad. It's a little bit tense, but there are much worse ratios they could have chosen.

From "why ruby":

>Ruby isn't cool any more. Yeah, you heard me. It's not cool to write Ruby code any more. All the cool people moved on to slinging Scala and Node.js years ago. Our project isn't cool, it's just a bunch of boring old Ruby code. Personally, I'm thrilled that Ruby is now mature enough that the community no longer needs to bother with the pretense of being the coolest kid on the block.

This is my feeling right now. Nobody is yelling about Ruby so I can take my time and enjoy learning it at my own pace.

They didn't set the proper client expectations, which is why their strategy engagement failed. Shouldn't they have figured out the client wanted them to just start designing stuff before they went away for a few weeks and built a strategy deck? They failed to understand what their client needed and then they blame strategy for it!
This very long, very Scott Alexander post has essentially nothing to say about the meaning of the word "feminism", but I'll say again that the reason MRAs refer consistently to "third wave feminism" is that the other waves of feminism secured women's right to vote, outlawed overt gender discrimination in pay, criminalized marital rape, and won Roe v Wade, so demonizing "feminism" is a rhetorically risky strategy.
Yeah, it would be nice if he mentioned the ratios the chromatic scale is based on, as well as the difference between Pythagorean tuning and equal temperament. Honestly, I thought even the pentatonic scale should have been explained.
I stopped using Facebook and mobile two years ago. I lost contact with people and discovered who my true friends who still wanted my company. I think it was the right decision.

There is no good money in delivering bits. That's why AT&T wants to buy Time Warner and that's why Google Fiber is shutting down. The only way to make money is price gauging in areas where there is a competitive market. There is really no way to stand out from the competition other than a better price per bit. Obviously there isn't much money in that. There also is really no way to make your customer actively happy other than pricing. Even if you do anything right the only time you will be noticed is when something is broken which is often times unavoidable (storms, lighting, broken equipment, incompetent customers, etc.). Bottom line it's a shit market to be in. The only reason to innovate is because some competitor was foolish to sink money into better, faster infrastructure that most customers don't care about and now you gotta catch up. So there are only incentives to screw customers one way or another and integrating innovation as much as possible. I'm not sure how this can possibly be turned into a functioning, competitive market.
Sure, pyramid schemes are a great way to drum up interest.

How about stability and liquidity instead? The more readily exchangeable a unit of currency is for goods, the easier it will see adoption. Deflationary currencies, due to their incentivization of hoarding, tend to be both unstable and illiquid, driving away anyone but speculators.
I have absolutely seen it in the wild, but at least in my case it seemed to be more a case of "People who wish they were writing Haskell, but found more commercial opportunities with Scala" compared with "People who found Scala to be an improvement over Java".

At the extreme of the first group you'd have people for whom it seemed like every problem was best solved with a higher-kinded-type. And while it might well have been technically (and mathematically) elegant, the rest of the team was left scratching their heads trying to understand it.

I wonder if they'll consider giving the next iphone a usb-c port too. If they're really going to be consolidating to a single port I could get on board. Changing yet another standard connector but still requiring everyone to keep around 2 types of chargers (now exactly the same size) seems pretty obnoxious even for Apple.

I'd probably nest a named let inside a continuation. Raise an exception when an iterator goes too long. Something like that.

I tend to avoid continuations in production code, because how it reacts very much depends on what you're accomplishing. Most exception handling frameworks use continuations, which you can accidentally turn into infinite loops if you don't abort the loop properly.
Part of the reason for their share of the mining reward is to give them a strong economic incentive to stick with it for at least four years.

Yes, Google can direct its own users to the cache, and others can also link to the cache. But if you or someone else link directly to the page, it is not served from Google's cache. Google would not be able to track those visits except for the fact that the page also loads content (at the very least, the AMP JavaScript) from Google's servers. AFAIK, it is not considered "valid" if you serve the JavaScript yourself.
Not physically.
There's a few emerging attempts. From all that I've experienced though, nobody has completely 'solved' remote collaboration.

For some tech nerdery: Oblong Mezzanine (http://www.oblong.com/), Prysm Visual Workplace (http://www.prysm.com/prysm-visual-workplace), MultiTaction MT-Canvus (https://www.multitaction.com/products/mt-canvus side note: check out their touch tech, it's f'ing cool), DisplayNote Montage (https://www.displaynote.com/wireless-presentation-system/), as well as MS Surface hub, all the SMART products, and the multitude of other 'meeting room IWB / touch solutions' out there.

All of these centre around the concept of a large display surface, some digital whiteboarding, flexible content layout then some VC 'tacked on' so that remote paricipants can join in.

What I find waaaay more interesting is some more of the combination acoustic + CV based camera tracking that's starting to make it's way to market. In addition to tracking people, it can also track objects of interest — things like auto-framing a whiteboard when someone approaches it. Cisco is currently doing this on their collaboration endpoints with SpeakerTrack and PresterTrack and other vendors have similar tech too. There's also a solutions that are starting to use camera arrays or super wide angle sensors to capture a larger scene and extract areas of interest (https://www.huddly.com/, http://www.owllabs.com/).

I think my experiences as a Google Fiber subscriber here in Provo might help illustrate why things haven't gone as well for Google as they (and we) initially expected.

It turns out that delivering gigabit fiber to the home, though a remarkable technical achievement, isn't transformative in the way that all of us living here assumed it would be.

It turns out that almost none of the internet resources commonly consumed in the home are even remotely provisioned for gigabit residential connections. ESPN.com loads about as quickly as it always did. Your Netflix streams don't look any different (the absence of buffering, while nice, is a pretty subtle thing). Even Google services, which you'd expect to be optimized for Fiber subscribers, are no faster than before. Downloads from Google Drive at my home are just as pokey as they are on my Comcast connection at the office.

A few things are amazing (Apple downloads are so fast you feel like you must be on the company LAN in Cupertino) and, if you're the rare person who can make use of it, the fact that Google Fiber also provides 1 Gbps UPSTREAM... well, words don't exist to express what that's like.

But those are the exceptions. And those exceptions are only achievable by the rare person who actually wired the house with Ethernet. Oh, and it turns out that you've also got to upgrade all of your NICs (every technically-inclined person in the city quickly discovered that Ethernet controllers in consumer PC's can't come close to pushing gigabit Ethernet, regardless of what's printed on the box).

If you're on wifi, forget it, especially if you're one of the vast majority connecting solely via the underpowered 802.11n wifi router that Google provided.

It was a source of enormous community pride when Google made the announcement. (And a source of validation for the politicians who years earlier had pushed through the municipal fiber network that Google purchased for a dollar.) Everyone was so excited to sign up, and it was great to celebrate with your neighbors as the blue and white Google Fiber vans slowly moved up your street.

But now, a couple of years in, no one really talks about it anymore. It's definitely nice. The Google folks are great to deal with if you ever have an issue (which, in any case, is exceedingly rare). The pricing is straightforward and easy to understand. But, to your average household here in Provo, on an average evening doing average things on the Internet, it just doesn't seem very different than what we had before.
With Apple's version you're bound to wonder how you ever got by with a mere keyboard and mouse.

That may be true, but the NYC Second Avenue subway is a bad example for comparison. The main reason that it took so long to complete was a number of extreme challenges in construction. Subway construction is rarely simple or cheap, but using one of the most complex and expensive subway lines as a point of reference might not be realistic.

Really it is the requirement to to redefine your model in backbone that is a deal breaker. Alot of code that just don't have to write in other frameworks, although i understand why it is there.

Most of the unmaintainable comes from it being a lighter weight frame work so devs often fall back to jquery. This is OK if you can figure out exactly where they added that trigger. Way to often that is overly hard. It could be pages away.

And yes, most of my coworkes are poor programmers. Saddly that is the world we live in and I like frameworks that make them a little easier to live with.
Okay, so call it 10% overhead (actually 8%) if we're taking a WAG (wild *ss guess).

That would mean that I would need to divide by about roughly nine (8.8 or so).

Sorry, I can't do divide-by-nine quickly in my head. I can do divide by 10 though, and my error is roughly 10%.

This concerns me because predicting people's tastes and spoon feeding them the content they crave typically reinforces their views; especially topics related to politics or personal values. Confirmation bias is running amok on sites like Facebook where, sadly, a lot of folks get their "news". Based on personal observation, I don't think the majority of users are even aware of the optimization algorithms.

That's the thing, there is no advantage. But there certainly is an advantage going from ~24mm (original titanium powerbook) to ~13mm (macbook 12). And we only got here by reducing 1mm at a time.
I have to keep fiddling and moving it around in its socket, or else it either stops charging, or even worse gets into a "false charging" state, where the OS says it's charging, right up until it dies because the battery's drained. The only indication I get that this is happening is that the percentage stops changing.

Good riddance.
Maybe other countries have larger numbers of conformists and squares in charge...
ATT is rolling out new fiber (and running fiber they already had at decent speeds), Comcast has their 2G offering and a 1G doccis offering.

Speeds have changed, but the fundamental issue is still there: It's impractical to have robust competition in the last mile, and nobody wants to wholesale last mile and make competition an option. Google fiber's early press releases included it, but stopped before they started building. The 1996 telecom act included it, but the FCC abandoned it in the last decade.
No idea what that post has to do with anything.

This whole thread on the other hand is about how feminism & MRA do not exist as opposites on a spectrum. Feminism, as you say, is an exceedingly common position. MRA on the other hand is a new, reactionary & uncommon position. But its proponents routinely try to play this rhetorical trick.

My point was mainly about your incorrect statement that feminist was to feminism what capitalist is to capitalism. They are not the same thing and thus any extrapolation about negative connotations is unlikely to be correct.

As Thomas says, even anti-feminists usually categorize their antagonism with terms line "third wave".
I don't have any good web links, but a couple of books that I've found useful are The Science of Musical Sound by John R. Pierce and Harmonic Experience by W. Mathieu. (The former is more focused on sound and scientific theory, whereas the latter is more focused on understanding music in a way that would be useful to a musician or composer.)

On the Sensation of Tone by Helmholtz is also worth checking out if you want to understand where a lot of the modern understanding of just intonation comes from.
