The thing to keep in mind when thinking about EVs is that while they may be slower to fill up at stations where you have to stand there like the Tesla super charger stations, this is a small minority of the charging most EV owners do.

Most of the time my LEAF gets charged at home in my garage. We only use public chargers a handful of times per year. When we do, it's stations in parking garages or public parking lots. Which means we plug it in and walk away. We don't have to stand there with it while it charges. If it takes a couple hours that's fine.

People focus on how fast they can recharge their EVs while they are standing there waiting for them because they are used to having to go somewhere to refuel their gasoline powered car. One of the great things about owning an EV is you recharge at home.

A quick Google search brought up a paper from '97 on this topic: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9385623 . Considering all the progress in genetic diagnostics I wonder why this topic has not gained more visibility. Is it due to correctness, statistical relevance for the general population (or population outside India) or slowness of knowledge dissemination in the medical community?
If this was really about race (as opposed to skills) non-racist companies would be more effective and out-compete the rest, especially given current shortage. These companies would probably be started by the discriminated people in the first place. Pervasive unjust discrimination is only possible in mono and oligopolies and/or if the law compels it.

The goal of terrorism isn't to scare people it is to scare the other side into doing what they want. The terrorists themselves are little more than foot soldiers in guerrilla warfare. There job is to have maximum impact with minimal force. Example, the LTTE in Sri Lanka, with a much smaller force 30k vs 150k, was able to inflict an equally high loss to the Sri Lankan Army 27k vs 23k casualties. They were the originators of suicide attacks and use it devastatingly. There goal was an independent, Tamil state.

You won't find "scare" as the objective for any terrorist. After 9/11 OBL made a statement on their attacks and what he hoped would happen. He also included his long, rambling list of objectives AQ was after.
Windows 7 is literally the last version of Windows without the Hybrid Boot Mode, so you're kind of punching down there. Maybe compare it to 8.1 Pro instead.
I will only fly my 1h fligth if I am alone. if I have others with me, I always try to convince everyone to drive 6h each way instead.
Wholeheartedly agree.

I feel like these numbers were just made up. Who decided 10% is good? or 20%? Why is it a percentage?

This whole system is absurd to me. If we follow the same logic then why don't programmers get "tips" when they do a nice commit message? or deliver on time? why are servers so different?

Just saying it out loud makes me giggle because of how silly it sounds.
If you're starting from a vector design (designed in Sketch for example) and need to convert it into a design, would you recommend using Bootstrap's components and overriding them, or is it easier to roll everything yourself?
> my understanding is that the TSA have actually asked for additional funding to have more staff on the lines but Congress has denied this.

This wouldn't help my complaint, fwiw.

My complaint isn't the lines.. i experience long lines all the time, i'm used to it. My problem is this feeling like suddenly, we're all criminals.

We're cattle, on the verge of being violated, and all it will take is a sneeze or an awkward look.[1]

To me, they are like "bad cops". You can meet a good cop and even if you did wrong (speeding ticket/etc), you feel comfortable and at ease (hopefully) around his/her professional attitude and behavior. The bad cops though, they just have this aura of unwarranted power, and you just hope they don't desire to spend some of it on you. That is TSA in the majority of cases to me.

The line isn't the problem for me.

[1]: edit, this isn't true of course, but it's how i feel.

Thankfully, Amex Platinum benefits include a credit for Global Entry which automatically gets you TSA Pre-Check, so I've been whizzing through border patrol and TSA for a long time now. Unfortunately, it's a protection racket that requires participants to turn over their fingerprints into a national database, so it has all sorts of ethical and philosophical murkiness around it. In the end though, if you're traveling for business its one of those things you can't afford not to have because of how stupid the process for regular joes is.

As a frequent traveler I can only agree with Bruce's conclusion here. TSA Pre-check is a failure, not because it doesn't provide enough security, but because the existing process for regular travelers is completely pointless. As any frequent traveler is already fully aware, the TSA is a big joke, and going back more or less to how we did airport security pre-9/11 with the better scanning technology is more than good enough for the realistic threat level and would greatly reduce traveler stress and increase airport throughput. The TSA is failed jobs program which has threatened the civil liberties of the average traveler for no gain whatsoever in national security. It's time to cut it back to something realistic.

Sidekiq by Mike Perham
Hopefully the hostess and back of the house was tipped out with that 40%. It's also likely that 40% went into the owner's pocket though because that's totally legal! Since it was a non-negotiable service fee the DOL doesn't consider it gratuity (as gratuity is strictly optional) so they don't have to pass it on to their staff. I've seen this happen plenty of times, usually in the catering business, though not to the extent of 40%, usually around 5-10%.

And in many cases, not reporting your tips as income and paying income tax on them is illegal...of course, not much chance of getting caught.
Tipping is supposed to be for exceptional service.

For example, if the wait person takes your order and brings your food and nothing more I wouldn't tip.

If they do the above and keep your water glass filled constantly without need to ask, if your meal, drink orders and dessert come out promptly and correctly, if they ask if everything is ok throuought the meal at appropriate times, etc I would tip.

Getting good service is starting to get hard to find. Some waitstaff are really good some hate their job and really don't care about the experience you have at the establishment you are in. It's just a job.

Also I've worked in kitchens, I know what douche nozzles customers can be. That's when you can see who your best wait staff is. During times they have to deal with them.

I think you're really stretching and trying to find an alternative answer, where the right answer is staring you in the face.

I'm sure this study has accounted for the fact that these Asians students are British Citizens and have spent their entire lives in Britain and also has English as their Primary language.

These Engineering Recruiters have innate bias against ethnic minority students.

The real question would is, How do we combat this?

I don't think it's worth continuing to argue. It's obvious you've done your research and built a real system that works, you don't have to continuously defend people who claim you can save 50% but don't understand why running an entire system means more than just miniizing the hardware cost.
Study google search results for "interview questions language X" with X being anything mentioned on the application. If js is listed expect things like the difference between == or === and whether variable declarations are hoisted for example.

Other questions I got were things like "can a static class be extended in language X" and other questions that test your trivia abilities but don't really matter when writing code 99% of the time. Like for js, everyone knows not to use == but most people don't know exactly why.

What I did was read several books on the language semantics for my top 2 languages cover to cover multiple times. The process was painful but I was prepared for nearly anything.

Answer quickly even if you might be wrong. Concise answers are perceived as more correct from what I've experienced.

Perhaps less of an issue with trucks? I expect in that situation it'd be decided much more on economics than personal freedom.
I generally agree with this and most of the time it's hard to justify using a red-black tree if you care about performance. You can use one if you have other concerns perhaps or performance isn't one of them.

I also concur cache misses are vital and sometimes don't get enough attention since people pass hand wave them away as micro-benchmarking which isn't true often for critical code paths. I'll add that again, this is why testing on your target hardware is important. You may think you know, but often you don't. I've seen too much stupid stuff where someone wrote code that performs great on their development desktop and awful on a server or a game console because of different CPU architecture and cache design or sizes.

Maybe someone can dig it up, but I've seen some of the sub-variants of red-black trees have dramatically better performance than I thought possible (or worse, ex: left-leaning), and the results can vary across runtimes. In addition to cache misses, there can be some other considerations for wanting to use a red-black tree like concurrent or parallel programming. In these cases, some of the cousin data structures like AVL trees can swing you for or against a red-black tree or other backing structure. I had this come up recently when selecting an interval tree that needed to be accessed between threads for instance.

Selecting a data structure is harder than most people make it out to be. There's just a lot of considerations at work, so you need to balance use-cases, performance (against those cases and raw), access patterns, allocations, and so on to come to a decision. Sometimes if you add up the total cost of doing something like replacing a red-black tree with other methods that are more cache friendly or have some other characteristic that is better, the overall performance cost can end up being worse in aggregate. So the answer is the same as always, "it depends" and the follow-up, "try it."

Parent is definitely right that academic and practical concerns of those of us in the trenches being different. That's why arguing with pure textbook evidence is stupid and you should challenge anyone who does it. Textbooks are a starting point for making and justifying a conclusion, not a shortcut.
Article just shows that that the virus helps makes glucose easier and leads to more fat generation but the subject of article doesn't show clean eating and rigorous exercise, try as you may the body cannot make energy deposits (fat) out of thin air
Slightly off-topic:

> Up close, the work is wet, improvisatory, and deeply inexact. [...] Like his boss, Jabouri has worked at the dam since he was a young engineering graduate. Now, he told me, he is as sensitive to the dam’s changes as the electronic gear buzzing around him. [...]

“We feel our way through,” Jabouri said, standing by the pump. Generally, smaller cavities require thinner grout, so Jabouri started with a milky solution and increased its thickness as the void took more. Finally, after several hours, he stopped; his intuition, aided by the pressure gauges, told him that the cavity was full.

The irony saddens me that, if you replaced that worker and his human lifetime of knowledge with a "data-driven control system" and his intuition with a "machine learning algorithm", we would all hail the result as the pinnacle of technology in mainantence systems - even though the data and actual descision making would be almost the same...

There's a long, long way between the free-market utopia people seem to believe currently exists and Uber's "set prices at half of the cost of providing the service & set VC money on fire until we have a monopoly" approach.
“There are three ways that we think Ad-36 makes people fatter:
(1) It increases the uptake of glucose from the blood and converts it to fat; (2) it increases the creation of fat molecules through fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that creates fat; and (3) it enables the creation of more fat cells to hold all the fat by committing stem cells, which can turn into either bone or fat, into fat. So the fat cells that exist are getting bigger, and the body is creating more of them.”

I assume they mean three possible ways and that only one of them is probably happening or do they think all three are happening (required)? I doubt all three would be happening but I could be wrong.

Minor nitpick... Is the list ordered by some priority or is it arbitrary (and if arbitrary bullet points or hyphens would be nice instead of emphasizing the count).
You'd need twice as many panels because panels generate very little power at night whereas the dam continues to run.

Also you'd need a battery bank to hold half a days worth of electricity. You could try pumped storage... oh wait this is kinda the problem here isn't it, so that's not happening.

Theoretically a drought would have more sunny days and less water, so solar and dam do loosely speaking work together although the coupling isn't that tight for a long river.
Before, swipe to approved was 2-3 seconds at most. The chip takes 15-30 seconds with no indication of the breakdown of time (e.g. connecting, transmitting, encrypting, etc). I'd like to know what takes the bulk of the time.
Except that Tesla is now charging $0.40/minute of leaving the car plugged in after a full charge is reached. They do this precisely to prevent people from "abandoning" their car while others wait in line.
Yeah, 20 years ago is practically the height of the crisis with the more brutal massacres (like 200 at a time). They were probably of those who asked for asylum or the thousands who left the country. It was harder for them because they knew peace before and easier on my generation because we were children who'd only known that, so it was sort of normal.
No in Britain, Asian is usually referred to people from the Indian Subcontinent. Not from the middle east
Pointer arithmetic works element-wise, not byte-wise.

So if p is a pointer, then p+1 refers to the next element after p, regardless of the size of the pointee. And so (p+1) - p is 1, again regardless of the size of the pointee.

In this case, &arr is a pointer to array, and &arr + 1 would point to the next array following the first one. But we wanted to calculate the number of elements in the array, not the fact that we have one array. So we dereference the pointer, thus getting an array type, which in turns "decays" to a pointer to the first element of the array, which has the right type for counting the elements using pointer arithmetic.
Pre-Check is nothing but a fund-raising scheme by the TSA. They have an incentive to further slow down the usual screening lanes, so more people will buy into PreCheck! How is this not a bad incentive??
It often wouldn't keep working. Win95/98/Me installs would regularly start throwing BSOD or just performing terribly and have to be reinstalled from scratch.
Glad to hear. Naturally Lightroom doesn't fit my Linux workhorse very well but it has the best workflow. Nice to hear it has improved -- many attributed Fujifilm's poor image detail to how ACP made the conversions early on.
and to add insult, everyone will die barefoot while the dammed terrorist can have their shoes on still.
It's a pity most compare it to Lightroom, whereas there are more sound competitors - take a look at RawTherapee, Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW or SilkyPix.

All of them have ups and downs, Rawtherapee is fast bug buggy as hell and has no adjustment layers, Capture One is marvellous but has political problems with supporting files from the medium-format Pentax, ON1 Photo RAW is a freshly released piece of software and it managed to crash on my images.
Good stuff. I did notice that the normalize.css of Skeleton hadn't been updated since 2014. Is there a more update version of "normalize" out there, or is it still pretty much apropos today?
That book is fairly critical and a far cry from a patriotic tome. If anything, its anti-patriotic and is overly critical of NASA and US space policy while being fairly mum on the Soviet program and not having too much criticism of the costs of the Soviet programs. That book is the anti-Apollo and dismissive of US accomplishments. Sadly, we live in an age where ahistoric claptrap gets popular because internet forum bubbles encourage "alternative" thinking for the sake of being contrarian.

It is also full of dishonestly. The son of one of the engineers claims a interview in the book never happened:

https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Side-Moon-Magnificent-American/p...

Also this quote is completely out of context:

"But the final word goes to Eisenhower, who once vetoed Apollo. He reminded Americans that "every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed".

This was in reference to the war machine, not our civilian space program and its disingenuous to apply it to NASA.

Lastly, yes the US could have beat sputnik. Recent declassified memos which seem to be authentic have revealed this possibility. Von Braun had a 4-stage Jupiter-C in 1956. It had the capabilities to launch a satellite into orbit. Apparantly, the 4th stage was left ignored due to political concerns of setting off a arms race, or even a war, with the USSR if a US satellite flew over its country every 90 minutes or so.

Even world literacy increasing can have a dark side. Could just mean more despots are realizing that having a superficially-literate population gets you off the hook for not having further education worth a damn.

Less smoking is very good for the population health.

While population increases are not good by themselves, all reduction in mortality is very good for everyone who has not to die. Interestingly this seems to have the consequence that the birth rates decline strongly as observed in many places.

Drilling is not bad because of "evil corporations", but because it regularly is accompanied by harming the environment, be it through the drilling, building roads through natural forests or oil spills.
"Some of these are objectively good"??? I skimmed the list and these are all good unless you're employed an oil or tobacco company. If you are it's time to make a career change.

Supposedly unbiased "both sides" journalism is a sham anyway. Better to read a couple biased articles and make up your own mind.
Making it to where people don't have the right to put certain things into their body, healthy or unhealthy, is a stepping stone to a more fascist world. And a bit hypocritical if you're pushing for assisted suicide. Second-hand smoke bans, that's great.

It's more like after PHP 5 the community had learned that lesson, while python didn't have the chance yet.

Given that, I think the PHP community handled the split much better, with the FIG pushing hard for PHP 5.

I think the difference is that most of PHP install base was managed by third parties (hosting providers) and once you lobbied those you basically forced everyone to upgrade. With python most of the install base is proprietary, and thus more fragmented, which makes it much more complicated to lobby for an upgrade.

Missing the biggest triumph of 2016 by far: the victory by DeepMind's machine learning algorith at Go over the greatest living human player.

At this time last year it was highly questionable if humans would ever lose to algorithms at games as complex as Go.

You can't necessarily replace intrusive linked lists with arrays. They have more operations. You can traverse so far in one list then switch to traversing in another.
All dams require maintenance or they fail. You are correct in that its merely a question of magnitude. Completely abandoned, Hoover Dam for example would last a lot longer, but hardly forever. Where the line is drawn is pretty arbitrary, and if the alternative is the people have no electricity or irrigation water so they riot and kill you ...
