There is a limited useful spectrum that's shared between everyone in the area. You can't just throw more bandwidth at the problem.
I doubt any down-on-their-luck glassworkers would feel humiliated and degraded by accepting an offer to make a window.

In Cincinnati, Ohio, you can find many ordinary houses in working class neighborhoods with small stained glass windows. There was an influx of German stained glass artisans, and there were so many of them, that they sold to ordinary working people. Apparently, the whole Cincinnati scene died out because of the industry practice of the time -- preferring mercury containing solders -- caused so many mental health problems. There may have been such glassworkers in that environment.
Sure, they targeted key industries and sometimes "got them". But so did a lot of other countries try the same thing, and they didn't get them. I'll note also that throughout most of their boom periods, both Singapore and Hong Kong had very small or no tariffs on almost all goods - when the other Asian Tigers did tend to have protective tariffs on various goods. Also, that housing, the most government-controlled sector in both countries, is notably very expensive - not a particular success story.

I'm not saying that any tariffs and subsidies will halt growth, or that industrial policy will always fail. What I am asserting as the general trend is that moving towards a freer economy pretty typically helps - and moving towards a dirigiste economy usually doesn't do much good. If anything Asia should be a demonstration of this - China before and after the 1978 reform process, Vietnam before and after the 1986 Doi Moi reforms, India's 1991 Rao-Singh reforms, among others. These didn't mark an increase in state intervention/ownership, tariffs and subsidies, but rather a decrease.

Except that other licenses already do that.

The BSD license allows anyone to do what they wish with that BSD licensed code.

Nothing happens to the original BSD licensed code just because someone uses it in a closed product. It's still available under the same bsd license.
This is a question of coding standards, which is applicable to every language. Some places had strict standards eventually for Perl <= 5 but there was a lot of legacy stuff. But Perl 6 is certainly not Perl 5 :) All languages need some standards imposed on the programmers when you're working in tight teams. Languages that give people a great deal of flexibility and power even moreso. Actually, I'd argue for a collection of local-use libraries... ;)

I sympathize with that, but what you should also consider is that by greatly undercharging the market rate, you're actually depressing wages for other in your peer group.
I'm far from a hoarder, but I still find myself thinking, "what is all this crap?" while cleaning the house. Upon closer examination, much of it is art supplies, tools, and books. These are things which allow me to improve, learn, create, and invent. They enrich my life. I really wouldn't be the same person without the ability to explore my world in this way.
>People want to believe that there are easy, clear controls on this stuff. That we can stay on the safe system we have now if we wish.

I have been convinced for a while that it should be possible, easy even, to separate GMOs into two categories:

* those which are designed to kill something, be it an insect, fungus, bacterium, or whatever, by producing a chemical or something reasonably similar

* those which are designed for any other reason than killing pests

I think it isn't unfair that the first category should see more suspicion than the second category. A poison, regardless of what species it's directed at, is still a poison. I also think it would be reasonable to have separate labeling for the first category, but not for the second category, since it should be possible to test for foods being in the first category (by e.g. GC/MS).

One thing that we've learned from the history of antibiotics is that quick-fix chemical solutions to pest control are really hard to get right. In particular, an unexpected antimicrobial compound can interfere with existing microbiota of some person or animal; particularly if they are immune-deficient this is a serious concern.
It could be a process/tooling/manufacturing thing, something Apple could no longer stop at the point it was, that would cause the current lineup capacity to be reduced and a new lineup to be introed regardless of what was soldered on the PCB.

Firebase needs to get a C++ SDK for Unreal Engine 4 so I can put it to use in the FPS I'm working on.

I would love to setup a master server browser list that updated in real time so that you can see by the moment the availability of servers and stats of current players in the server. I think Firebase would really make this electrifying! Right now the delay that Steam's master server browser list has is just so 1998.

After that I'd add realtime global chat to the main menu of the game and server administration without having to log into a server. Then maybe I'd play around with doing some funky stuff where I push player locations in real time to Firebase and use that to drive a webclient that just renders the map artwork and player location dots.

So many possibilities (!!!) but without a true C++ Firebase SDK I can't justify the time to develop these features or the SDK myself as I have a boatload of other tasks to complete for the game.

If anyone is interested in freelance C++ work and thinks they could create a true socketed Firebase SDK solution (not REST) in UE4 send me an email at contact@drivenarts.com
I think that was the implication. Minimalism as an art form has been replaced by a contest of 'less', and in the process, we scrub away things that make us happy for the sake of whitewashed walls.
Yes, that is definitely a fair point. Also for clarity's sake I'm a designer but the principles here are the same.

This has changed since 2011. Both GCC and LLVM/Clang support

export CFLAGS="-ggdb -fsanitize=address"

And few other "sanitizers". They add a runtime to the binary so you get the backtrace, detect runtime "silent" errors (undefined behaviors) and overall help develop C/C++ programs.

It would be great if we had policies that supported amateur businesses but the costs and red-tape are currently overwhelming.

If I prepare a meal for my neighbor for a few dollars and then they subsequently have to spend a few days in hospital because they got E.Coli due to my accidental mishandling of some spinach, should I be liable for their medical costs?

For how over-reaching New Zealand's government is about gardening, they do have an interesting plan with accident insurance, centralizing the risk for accidents of all kinds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_Compensation_Corporat...

With tort reform like that, could it more reasonable for people to operate small-scale, less-regulated businesses?
No it does not. For instance, if I write router code, and a vendor uses it in a product, it does not allow me to fix a bug in a product I paid for. It does not allow me to see and learn from how they did it. And given telco behavior it effectively locks me out of using my own code.

Indeed, I didn't catch that. And based on some reading [1] it seems my interpretation was indeed exactly wrong. Thereby either proving my original point -- that the answers are quite confusing -- or maybe just that I'm an idiot/outlier. I'd argue it's especially confusing with the capitalized 'O' in the ballot answer and the corresponding capital O when the ballot question refers to the existing 'Ordinance', but not the replacement 'ordinance'. Crazy...

To amend my original post, the answers should have been phrased more like "YES -- repeal and replace the existing ordinance" and "NO -- keep the existing ordinance".

Haha! This is exactly the argument I use when trying to negotiate! I say "you won't be able to find anyone for what you are paying me now". Management shrugs. I tell management in no uncertain terms "i need to make more money", strongly hinting that i will begin looking elsewhere.

If management truly wanted to "negotiate" then they would begin putting conditions on a raise or something.

I think GMOs are not special in the health risks potentially posed, and as a result do not believe that GMOs should get special labeling requirements. I think doing otherwise is base fearmongering.

I do not think it's reasonable that the public is trying to give science-the-institution a prior on "be absolutely, 100% certain that no risks are posed with new technology". I think the public is unreasonably expecting proof of perfection and an impossible level of control via policy. Science doesn't produce infinite sigmas. You can't get that control over CRISPR, the equipment and skill required are too low.

Yes, there is a history that includes a number of failures. That history also includes stunning successes. I think it's unreasonable to demand that science only ever produce successes.

We trust people with a history of systemic mistakes because they're also the only ones with the history of systemic success in this arena.
To be honest, I'm not sure. That's a little above my pay grade. :-)

I'd imagine you are correct, but I'd assume this has been somehow handled given that we've been using the CP-140 for 30 some years and one of three primary search areas would be north of 60. As I understand it though MAD is pretty much at its peak from a technological perspective. The P-8 doesn't even carry it, afaik.

This thing is "pinging", so I suppose sonar would be the number one choice in terms of tool to use. Again though this is all way over my knowledge level.

What constitutes non-scientific discussion?
Sure. But I know people [EDIT: OK, one person] who routinely pick up random pieces of metal that the find lying on the side of the road. At least once, they happened to have the perfect piece of metal to weld across the bottom of a bucket when the original bottom finally gave out.

My solution: I just buy a new bucket at that point, throw the old one away, and don't have to put up with a place that has to store all those random pieces of metal. On the other hand, yes, I keep a toolbox, with several screwdrivers.
Well, I'm not a mechanical engineer, so I won't argue this further. Nonetheless, this discussion is irrelevant unless the new MacBook pros are too easy to bend, which I don't believe is a known issue. I've never heard of anyone having bending issues with MacBook Airs, so I don't see why it would be an issue here.

Seems like most people here are skeptical/dubious of ML. I don't blame them there is a lot of hype. But it is quite fascinating technology. If you look seriously at the detailed technical coverage on how the technology works [1] and watch the recent Stanford lecture by Brian Schowengerdt [2], Co-Founder of Magic Leap, then I think you will see why ML is actually quite special.

Personally I am fascinated and optimistic about the potential represented by scanning fiber + waveguide display for AR and VR. I'm optimistic about the future of this tech platform far more than any other AR/VR tech out there mainly owing to form factor it affords (lightweight glasses) and the superior bio-compatibility of the light-field it produces (all day use). On principal its imagery is clearly light-years ahead of anything using a flat screen with lenses and its potential form factor could be surprisingly close to regular glasses. The image quality and form factor are huge part of why this tech could replace phone or a tv or a laptop. I am sure the first iterations will be cool but not perfect. I expect a progression much like that of the iPhone. It works, its awesome, then it keeps getting better and better and better.

IMHO this really does look like a viable platform for the future of computing for the next 10-20 years. People still buy PCs but the laptop largely replaces most uses for it other than hard-core gaming. Similarly I could see the same effect happening with screens vs ML over time. I say all this with the caveat that the form factor really is much much closer to glasses than something like HoloLense.

Here are couple things I have learned about the tech that kind of blew my mind:

* The same tech used to display the light-field can also be used to capture images of they eye for eye tracking, no extra camera needed. It is conceivable that the same scanning fiber technology could be used to dramatically miniaturize the sensors needed for SLAM inputs as well.

* The detail falloff of human vision from a small point in the center is huge. We largely piece together a detailed picture over time in our minds with quick eye movements. This means that good eye-tracking + foveated rendering largely mitigates concerns about achieving a very high perceived resolution with manageable IO.

* I assumed this kind of display would only be able to produce semitransparent ghostly images. Not so. Apparently it can block incoming light from points where it is projecting.

* It is not simple stereoscopy, the light hitting the eye is focusable at the distance the virtual object appears to exist in real space rather than at the surface of the waveguide. This is why it is so compatible with the human visual system and can be used all day as opposed to other tech. This has to do with how the visual system to point both eyes at an object in space is wired in sync with the system that focuses the lenses. No other system, to my knowledge, accommodates this linkage and thus causes strain. Watch the video to understand this more.

I'll say that I love scripting languages and those languages are already dead...they just don't know it yet. Of course they're good for scripts, but I think we'll find them drop off a cliff like Perl5 in a few years. They're just too darn slow (coming from a python guy).If Perl6 can get to near Java speeds (assuming you use the gradual typing and help out the compiler), then dynamic languages may be saved. If not, it's all Swift/Rust/C#/JS from here.

As for me, I have no illusions that those tyrannies exercised for the good of their victims will ever eventually die out; self-righteousness provides a powerful high, and to get their fix those addicts will need someone (or something) to scold.

I had a discussion once, back when I was wearing a crypto hat, which went like this:

Me: "Yes triple-DES is reasonably secure, how do you exchange keys?"

Them: "That is part of the connection setup."

Me: "Great, how do you protect the keys during setup?"

Them: "What do you mean?"

Me: "What form of encryption do you use when you're doing the setup, and sending over the keys?"

Them: "Well we really can't encrypt the setup part, after all we haven't even set up a connection yet."

Me: "Ok, and thanks. Now move along, we'll call you..."

Yes, there are gazillions of useful tools, but another important point is that C is tightly coupled to *nix systems and the best platform to develop C is definitely a Linux-based system (ignoring embedded systems for the meantime, where C also shines), as otherwise most quality information that you find in the interwebs won't work for you.

Your own sources say that playing games is fairly equal. Two of them say it's fifty-something to forty-something. The bias is too small, and the difference in wealth between privileged-straight-white-males and the rest of us is enough to explain it. Notice also that according to source two, women who play videogames are in average older than men who play videogames, suggesting another wealth correlation.

> I Google searched for all of 5 seconds just to have some links to back up what I already knew from 15 years working in games and films

That is precisely the problem. You already knew what you wanted to find, so even though we are looking at the same data, we are interpreting it differently based on our different experiences.

>You realize that complaining about feminist schtick is a sexist male chauvanist thing to do, right?

By saying things like that you reinforce @tnones point. I disagree with him but your dismissive attitude is not proving him wrong.

> Why would there be huge a gender difference in purchasing patterns, and not in playing patterns

That's what the data you found says, so don't dismiss it just because you can't easily explain it. The explanation I can come up with is that games are expensive and wealthy people buy more of them. Straight-white-male-privilege correlates to wealth.

EDIT: I think your mistake could be that you believe people who can't afford games don't play them. As a person with 25 years of experience in being poor, I can assure you that is not the case.

> Not helpful at all is denying that it exists like @tnones.

If @tnones is right then complaining about sexism is a waste of time and effort that detracts from the effort we should be applying to the "real issue", whatever it is. Like you say, the problem seems to be going away on its own (just like the gender wealth gap, further supporting my theory that we are looking at wealth correlates).

I don't think discussion about the "real cause" of the problem or even about whether the problem exists at all is unhelpful, as long as it is kept civil and does not detract from the real work of people like the author.

EDIT: Forgot you asked me about quotes! Just search for the words white and male in the article. Almost every time she mentions those it's to put forward a stereotype.

If memory serves, the fees UK banks were charging were outrageous compared to other EU countries. Only recently via government pressure have fees got more reasonable. Make no mistake, UK banks are also scum.

The only time it works without regulation is when banks' interest align with customers, e.g. contactless payment. For the bank, less PIN exposure so less chance of compromise and liability. For customers, quick tap-to-pay. Win-win for once.
Well done. Daily billing is loads better than hourly billing. I think I made an extra $10,000 in a year, just because I billed by the day.

From the FDA's website:

"Food producers recall their products from the marketplace when the products are mislabeled or when the food may present a health hazard to consumers because the food is contaminated or has caused a foodborne illness outbreak."

Soylent is not mislabeled. Soylent is not contaminated. Soylent has not caused a foodborne illness outbreak.

At the moment, it appears that a small group of consumers discovered they have a sensitivity to algae. They were not hospitalized. No one has died. I'm not even sure anyone missed work.
