The mine dumps are largely a problem in the south of Johannesburg. The article shows that the problem is spread across the entire country. And the Mpumalanga Highveld has particularly shocking pollution levels, from the coal-fired power stations, from SASOL and from poor residents burning coal in winter. The map shows high levels of particulate matter in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape, which are far from mining activity.
> given the amount of energy that is put in the process for producing meat and dairy, it's ridiculously huge compared to what can be done with the land in other way

That's the case for all industrial-age agriculture at today's 7-billion-people scale anyway.

With average mixed diet, it costs 10kcal (whether fossil fuels or renewables) energy expenditure for every 1kcal of food energy.

Isolated (or ancestral) immediate-return hunter-gatherers (roaming anywhere prey game abounds) average 10kcals of food energy gained for 1kcal energy expenditure invested.

So that lifestyle gives 100x better ROI. But it's not for this today's world, because at the top of the food chain "we"'d rather soon feed most/all humans food barely fit for animal feed (grains and soymeal etc) than "guide our reproduction more wisely".
Conversely, I've emailed John Legere and shared with him my support of zero rating as a long time customer, and have submitted a letter to the FCC that I'm in favor of it for traffic management purposes when the provider doesn't have their own competing offering.

As an aside, this is the reason that it's important to have some understanding of the liberal arts along with formal training in math and computer science.
I don't think the "with Funding" is really meant to narrow the selection. I think it means something more like "based on the valuation from new Funding, are Youngest Irish Billionaires"

100% true. Does not work, outside of AMEX cards. You can put anything you want in the cardholder name fields.
Out of curiosity, was my caveat "(or at least differentiable) in the region of interest" insufficient for that purpose?

I certainly didn't mean to imply that statistics has unreasonable assumptions. Merely that it tends to have stronger assumptions - and more accurate results - than machine learning. Personally I'm a huge fan of classical statistics and think it's currently underappreciated.
The problem is, some of the cities that serve as centers of these economic regions do so primarily because they are state capitals. Were state lines drawn to surround them (and exclude neighboring more independently prosperous cities) I think they would greatly decrease in economic importance.

Ex. New York state is the largest employer in the region surrounding Albany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_District#Economy
Well you should always care about your privacy. I think the better question is do you need to worry? My personal opinion is no, not for things like telemetry in VSCode. It is used to make the product better (hopefully) and I can't see the data collected on startup time or crashes are a massive invasion of privacy.
Lots of little things. Select a multiple lines of an object/hash/dict, break into multiple cursors, rewrite line (copying and pasting as needed, it works that out as well) to change to variable declarations, or to add a comma, or to... whatever.
I wonder how this would go down in a court of law, in that the specific motions they are claiming copyright on were /obfuscated/ or downright /concealed/ from view. I wonder if you can legally be considered to have copied something you have not seen..
That would not achieve that the authors were after. That would show you what the regions _could_ be, not what they _are_, since you'd be comparing possible commutes rather than ones actually taken.
Well, I do not work in marketing (and I don't think he does, either) and I see where he's coming from. Like it or not, we (humans) are a social species.

I think that's a good use case. Such use cases are great and I agree it's not all hype but when everyone and their grandma has an "AI" startup you have to wonder what exactly "AI" means at that point.

I think the intended grouping of that sentence is (((Stripe founders) are (youngest Irish billionaires)) (with funding)), i.e. they're simply the youngest Irish billionaires, not the youngest Irish billionaires with funding. Still a fairly narrow superlative, but less ridiculous than the original interpretation. "Youngest Irish billionaires" is the lede, "with funding" is the actual news story - they're announcing Stripe's funding round.
This sounds potentially useful for things like GCM too, would it be more helpful there?

Awesome app. A few comments:

- It'd be really nice to see a weekly view of the calendar because I can't see more than 3 things at once on a day.

- After about 30 minutes of leaving the page open the drag-and-drop functionality on the calendar breaks and my browser (Chrome) thinks I'm trying to drag a link around.

- Marking things as complete is an absolute necessity here. Most individual users will be using this as an advanced task list. Trello just added this functionality, so it would be good timing and help keep them from getting an upper-hand here.

In general it's an awesome idea. Let people view their data in the form they want and let them track what they want. However the interface is a bit sluggish. If all of the inputs were live inputs (actual input tags, not elements you click on and then get processed and turned into inputs) it would probably feel much more responsive.
Yes, it is equivalent.
Highest or lowest? I do the latter, obviously, for reasons of self-preservation (learnt this from a dentist).

I am not saying it is nonsense -- just that it was hard for me to understand their claim, in part due to a background that I expect many other readers here share.
Good idea. It seems like, even here, people are motivated by self-interest, and self-preservation. Sometimes I feel like I just being sold something, and not necessarily the best Trick.

Finding the right society members, and then letting go if they sell-out, or become stale; might be an issue. Kinda like the professor who has tenure, but should be put out to pasture?

I do feel Stack Overflow, etc. does a great job, but since languages, platforms, algorithms, are just going to increase, it would be nice to have a group of highly respected people(irregardless of income, or spinish behind their names) tell the truth, ot the truth at a certain point in time. Sometimes the democratic method of vetting information fails.

For reference II - downloaded the .iso. Despite a usually robust connection the download was interrupted three times. I have no idea whether this signifies anything. Curl resumed where it left off and in the end...

Qubes-R3.2-x86_64 moi$ gpg --verify Qubes-R3.2-x86_64.iso.asc Qubes-R3.2-x86_64.iso_WEBDL
gpg: Signature made Tue Sep 20 18:33:37 2016 BST using RSA key ID 03FA5082
gpg: Good signature from "Qubes OS Release 3 Signing Key" [full]

Of course (skipping merrily off into tinfoil-hat-land) that doesn't eliminate the possibility that the OP's download had been MITM-ed. However this would have to be by someone who:

1) Controls part of the network infrastructure between them and mirrors.kernel.org (i.e. routers, cables or DNS)

2) Can fake a TLS certificate for mirrors.kernel.org

So, corrupted download or a targeted MITM attack by a state-level actor? Who the hell knows anymore.

Texas is actually a lot more liberal than you might think and mostly does not care about it's history. It's even moving to the center consider Mitt Romney actually had a much wider margin in Texas than Trump.

Anyway, North and South Dakota where split simply to add 2 senators at the time. DC is not a state for the opposite reason. Face it, states are completely arbitrary lines on a map.

There is even a poorly drawn line approximately on the 37 degrees north was codified without reference to where the actual 37 degrees north actually was.
It's unlikely for foreign governments to identify FBI individuals. Until the recent leaks "nobody" complained about NSA hacks let alone individual NSA agents. What makes you think it will be different when FBI leads the hacks?

I am also very curious about what the breakdown is between people who write the pipeline code and those who write the stuff being put into and out of these pipelines- is the difference very big? (i.e. how deep in the stack does each role go?)

And what kinds of experience do they look for, and how would you say a regular old web dev programmer would go about getting that experience?

While that is a large number, it is less than a half of a percent of the entire student body of the USA. As I said, it happens. But isn't the norm.

Also, If you are going to cherry pick quotes, try the last 3 paragraphs of the Overview section, which talk about how it is not widely accepted, and the efforts to outlaw it.

This looks cool! We actually built something conceptually similar to this for the Nylas N1 mail client (https://github.com/Nylas/N1) and open sourced it with an (unfortunately) very similar name: https://github.com/bengotow/electron-RxDB.

Curious if the author has made any optimizations around the observable queries to prevent small changes to the database from re-running everything? We had to do a bunch of optimizations so that changes would only cause queries to re-execute when absolutely necessary. Our case might be extreme though - the mail client has several GBs of mail data in SQLite and 50+ observable queries for different parts of the UI.
That's exactly what makes Lightsail attractive to someone like me. I have production services on AWS and Linode, and I have only positive things to say about Linode, but it would be very nice to manage everything in one place.
It goes both ways. If a boss says "do X" you may not have a gracefull opportunity to respond. But if a boss says "wold you rather do X or Y" you are more likely to be able to say "how about Z because...".

Granted, in a healthy relationship neither party has must resort to such tricks.
On a different topic, out of curiosity what algorithm do you use to generate unique links.
I guess because business people tend to be confused by hype or anti-hype and sometimes unable to care about five years from now this is a realistic message.

But he really emphasized the supervision and input -> output parts which is a bit of an oversimplification. There is definitely less supervision than before and demos from groups like Deep Mind or OpenCog that are powerful interactive agents.
Comparable to a social security number, but a SSN which you rubber stamp upon literally everything you touch. I make this analogy to illustrate the ridiculousness of both.
> It will never catch up to Sublime...because a ton of the work that went into Sublime was writing custom systems for fast text editing.

Why couldn't the creators of VSCode and the open source community catch up to Sublime's systems for fast text editing -- especially considering Sublime was written by a single developer who seems to not work continuously on the project.

The JS issue is another story.
Sean (or other Hyper maintainers), if you're reading this, it'd be really useful to have a tracking issue for the Tokio integration rather than just a branch. I'd like to be able to subscribe to something to keep track of progress and discussion on the topic!
Ruby is extremely easy to pick up, but since the community tries to steer people towards frameworks like Rails where making an injection vulnerability is non-trivial, requires actual understanding and deliberate effort, the injection problems are relatively rare.

For those that use a framework for PHP they're also insulated from these problems, they have better examples to work from, but the PHP community is full of people that think they're too good for frameworks, or that frameworks are an obstacle to understanding.

Those people are the cause of so much damage.

"What our government should do is a moon-shot level of effort to promote strong encryption and very robust digital infrastructure."

They did. It was called the Computer Security Initiative. It was the culmination of efforts starting with Anderson Report that collectively invented INFOSEC and deployed high-assurance versions. Early releases were secure messaging, the BLACKER VPN, MLS endpoints, private databases, and so on. Industry ignored it in favor of cheapest, fanciest products with features moving at explosive pace. Congress's (or DOD's) COTS mandate and NSA's MISSI initiative finished it off by reducing government contracts for high-security product.

So, it's been done here before. It would work again. Just no will to do it on top esp with Microsoft and IBM's lobbying. ;) At least the papers on requirements and methods for achieving that were all published. Some still use the methods in commercial sector and CompSci. The first, secure systems are still available comnercially on not-so-secure hardware (i.e. Intel). Just almost no uptake in FOSS for such methods despite a labor advantage.
It's not natural. It's unique to PHP.

Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, Node, they all have respect for best practices and libraries that make coding SQL queries safely quite easy and pleasant.

PHP is a whole different beast. People are allergic to package managers, to using "third party code", to using frameworks, even to reading documentation. At times it's amazing how aggressively backwards it can be.

I'm not trying to characterize the entire PHP community, there are large parts of it with people trying hard to do the right thing, but there's also this vast wasteland of incompetent people publishing tutorials that are so dangerously wrong with even more people willing to defend these tutorials as being educational and useful.

Progress means learning from your mistakes, but some would prefer everyone repeat them, painfully if necessary, to promote "education".

I subscribe to a medical news email - one of the recent editorials was about needing to re-examine the profession's obsession with cholesterol. When I find the link I'll post again.

My wife and I moved to Hamilton, MT where that lab is located after searching around for the best mountain town to work remotely from.

It's a unique little town with amazing local mountains and rivers, some good restaurants and breweries and not too many tourists. The lab brings in educated young people including many climbers and skiers.

People joke that they government will let you live somewhere this awesome if you're willing to work on ebola.

In reality the lab was founded originally to study a tick born illness first observed in the area in the early 1900's and was eventually chosen as a BSL-4 site do in part to its isolated location and the fact that all access to the valley can be cut off by blocking a relatively few number of roads.
If others are willing to trade ownership in your company such that 100% equaled 1 billion then the answer would be yes. Valuations are made based on exchanges relative to the whole's worth. That's a simplified way of how public stock markets work too.
