For me doing that is somewhere between an escapist fantasy and a backup retirement plan. I've been looking at Idaho properties for some time now because it seemed to have favorable acreage vs price ratios.

Last year a random 40-acre hilltop plot at Indian Creek was listed for 30k and finally sold for 15k, which is amazing. Its neighboring 40-acre lot with a view of Bear Lake is currently being sold for 30k. Lots of variances in prices and terrain, including mountain tops. Or at least tall hills, whatever they officially are.

One of the weirdest incentives for me to keep looking is that certain counties in ID don't have building codes: you're on your own. That flexibility cuts both ways, but it means you could make a mud and straw house if you felt like it, without interference. Of course, cabin kits are probably safer and more practical.
I don't know why you're being downvoted; this is a serious concern other vendors bring up when discussing windows defender (or whatever the free solution is called). At first blush the situation is very similar to I.E. shoving out other competing browsers.
There are much simpler solutions than GMO. Besides most water (not sure of exact figure, would have to look it up again) used in industrial agriculture runs off the land. GMOs won't change that.
Not really. This is the fundamental principle of technology disruption. At some point one paradigm over-serves the market to such a degree that a new, less functional entrant comes in and starts to steal away market share.

This happened most dramatically with hard disks, where 8" drives lost way to 5 1/4" even though they took a hit in storage capacity. Later 3 1/2" drives nibbled away at that even further, with the same penalties. Notebook-sized drives ate away at that, too, despite their limited capacity. Every time the driving factor was not performance or capacity, but convenience. Lugging a twenty pound hard drive around in your laptop wouldn't make any sense even if it could hold 400TB of data.

Desktops yielded to notebooks, notebooks yielded to phones and tablets.

General purpose migrates to the most convenient solution that's adequate for their needs.

I was hoping someone else would comment about the opera playing out as it were. IBM has tooled POWER8 and POWER9 to where the industry is heading.. all flash, post-NAND, accelerators, it's geared for buzzwords like big data, machine learning but also traditional RDBMS and high throughput computing. Contrasting POWER to Xeon is pretty interesting, and I think IBM will have a good few years. Historically, that kind of thing reengages Intel who come back with vengeance.
The term "physician assistant" seems pretty gender neutral and appropriate.

You can't implement certain things in C if you are on the quest for maximum efficiency. Thankfully, one rarely is, because efficiency isn't binary. It's about trade-offs.
Perhaps we should just avoid drawing any conclusions about intent from a single line of code.
It seems the lowest hanging fruit is rather simple; protect existing clean water supplies.

Not sure how exciting of a startup idea it is to buy up and preserve large tracks of land containing water and aquifers, though.
considering the fact that most AAA titles are glorified visual experiences it is no surprise cpu is not the bottleneck, requiring probably very little logic and not having to render more than a 60dg first person FOV. However, when you try any game that has some flavor of RTS to it, they start trudging, I remember reading RTS games target 20fps as optimal performance in general, because of lots of polygons but also because they need to track a lot of stuff compared to your average scripted experience. Free roamers a la gta/arma/watch dogs also cpu bound, just like most MMOs which have to display lots of stuff and track of lots of things. The gaming segment is definitely something that would benefit from beefier cpus I would say.

Another factor to take into consideration is that people change gpu more often than cpu (I would blame intel and their sockets policies but I dont know) so it is obvious you target the lower common denominator which is gonna be the cpu therefore games that don't use lots of cpu to begin with.

Last argument, cpu usage in games can't really be scaled like gpu usage, you can turn down shadows at best but a game is gonna always use that much cpu, being again thelowest common denominator.
I wouldn't care unless I lived somewhere warmer. Energy can not disappear from a closed system and that inefficiency will keep you feet toasty. :)
Fascinating. That's a very precious quote, indeed. Thanks.
Would you care to provide a short rust implementation of reading an arbitrary length string from standard input?

I have rust installed. I would be curious to benchmark it and see if is indeed faster than the same thing in C, using a user-defined bounds checked array.

> "If I can help it, I will never order another ticket from them again."

I find these to be weasel words.

I don't use Ticketmaster. Full stop.

If your concert uses Ticketmaster, I'm not going to that.

It's not a problem because all the cool acts don't use Ticketmaster. Only lame old decrepit acts use Ticketmaster anyway. And if I wanted to see those, I'd go to Vegas, and at least get a comped all you can eat buffet as well.

Brown Paper Tickets is an alternative that is fair and reasonable. Oddly, many fantastic acts I've see such as The Orb use them for ticket sales instead of the vile corrupt corparate boondoogle that is Ticketmaster.

https://www.brownpapertickets.com/

Ticketmaster was corrupt and horrible 30 years ago. If you are still using them or claiming to buy tickets from them for any reason then you're either a corporate shill or terminally clueless.
PM on Messenger Platform here. Great feedback!

For discovery, FB Messenger actually has more channels for bot discovery than any other platform, including:

- m.me links with referral tracking

- Messenger Codes

- Several plugins that allow easy opt-in via developer's website, including the ability to by default opt-in users on any form/flow on your website into your bot experience on Messenger.

- Customer matching (use phone numbers to send updates to customers and acquire them as a bot user)

- Messenger destination ads

- Sharing features that many have used to achieve incredible viral reach.

The power that developers have to promote their own bots using these existing channels is largely undertapped. I would encourage developers to see what they're building as a business first, and a bot second. The bot is just a facet/channel into what you offer (even if it is a primary one). If you don't have a reason to offer a product or service or publish content, you probably don't have a reason to have a bot.

Admittedly, we could do better at setting user expectations for bots and in distinguishing them in search results and in the FB main app, and maybe pushing them in more places.

Re: inflated expectations. Totally right. The "AI Agent"/NLP use case is just one possibility for a bot, yet it's the sexiest one that the media seems to like. It's the tip of the iceberg -- there are a ton of more mundane but incredibly useful bots that are succeeding on the platform.

If any bot developer has questions about this, or wants to brainstorm ways to get users, I am happy to help or bounce ideas!
They need that meat in their profit margin to accelerate the Sell Out and Bro Down steps of their business plan.
There is a lot of community interest in Rust with regards to running on embedded devices, so I wouldn't be so quick to point to IOT devices as a reason for not using Rust. That said, I don't know what the current state of support for these less popular architectures is. The official page for platform support is https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html.
No, because they're not physicians assistants. They can see patients independently and prescribe drugs without ever interacting with a doctor. The NP practices at places like Walgreens don't even have doctors on staff.
I'm not sure you can call government itself a conspiracy.
I'm not sure I care then. My old Samsung 840 Pro is fast enough that it's rarely if ever the weak link.
Yeah, Upwork is terrible, but that's because it is trying to compete on scale and price.

It seems the idea you have is a way to pass on high-quality projects that you'd otherwise take, to someone you know and can vet. You'd likely have someone in mind already, versus having it be a huge network of other people.

Unless you wanted to hire someone who administers this group, and keeps it close-knit so that people don't dump crap projects onto good workers, or good projects to crap workers, I don't see how this can work. I don't see it as being able to grow very much besides a group of friends or former colleagues.
Viewing a document or PDF can be remarkably slow. And large image heavy documents are pretty common. Of course that is not always entirely CPU bound, but it often is.

Also, a lot of the promise of computers is the ability to process things quickly. If a "big data" task takes 1 sec to run you can afford some trial and error. Increased performance should make software usable by more people with less training.

Of course the venues use exclusive deals. It would be foolish to try and maintain multiple ticketing systems, extra overhead with no benefit.

The venues provide the demand, not the ticketing system. The venues will use the ticketing system they can get the best pricing from.
Aren't many GMOs designed precisely to fight off insects and pests and weeds without needing as many pesticides or herbicides?
That depends upon your definition of "integrate".

It can read/write stdin/stdout (just as any scripting language can) so it can be used to write additional filters/tools that don't exist in the standard set that can then be used from shell as with any other tool.

But if you mean using it to create a pipeline out of existing command line tools, then yes, but with a bit more boilerplate than plain shell needs. The built in "exec" command has an almost shell syntax for starting pipelines, and the "open" command supports the same syntax, so it is 98% "as well" in that regard. But to avoid getting stuck in a deadlock trying to write data to a pipeline that is returning filtered data to the script requires turning on Tcl's event driven file IO, which is where the extra boilerplate comes from.
Have you guys tried indoor farming?
Obviously, one can program C to do anything, and write all the provably safe abstractions wished. But, that's not really the point. The point is that doing such is not the default. It requires engagement and knowledge of the programmer, especially on distributed projects with loose communication, such as many open source projects. And it only takes one programmer mistake to bring the whole house of cards down.

Why allow programmers to make mistakes? That was fine in the 70's when resources for compiler execution were limited. I don't see any reason for it today.

I mean, just look at the underhanded C contestants and especially winners for ways in which your program can completely blow up for extremely subtle reasons.

Its not a mistake or a vulnerability either.

Incorrect cache hits are fine, as long as there is some checking following the cache hit

hash(A) == hash(B) && A == B

> I wasn't aware they were checking the commonName sent with SNI.

If I'm not mistaken, it does sound like they were doing some checking after they pulled the generated cert from cache, but it obviously wasn't enough checking
Prolog - it's still as good as new, far as I'm concerned.
Yes. Although I suppose the probability you're a malicious actor given that you've produced a vulnerability rise substantially (though still remains quite small).
It's also a highly effective way to present something as coming from a third party, for comedic or other effect.
I didn't claim that rust would be faster than C (not that it can't be) in that situation. I would expect very similar performance.

I'm not feeling very well unfortunately, not really in the mood to code.
once again you're arguing against a strawman. you've now completely abandoned trying to engage with what I've said and have instead favored the approach of trying to make me seem "stupid" with discredited rhetorical devices.

additionally, where do you get off acting as if you're an authority on economics? you're nothing special. stop acting as if you're automatically correct. you have something to say, then say it, argue your point and support it. simply phrasing things as if you're authoritative only makes you seem arrogant. it's not convincing.

finally, by choosing to deliberately ignore what I offered as the more important dimension of my position (the moral one, rather than the economic one) you have derailed the entire conversation into something nearly irrelevant.

in other words, you're not worth the time. we're done here.
You see this type of behavior all over North America too, particularly in the south and southwest where artifacts are commonly found. Looting, graverobbing, and vandalism are the biggest threats to archeological sites worldwide.
>"In NYC rent control refers to a program that freezes rents"

This is not actually correct. Your rent in a rent controlled or rent stabilized apartment is still subject to increases in rent but there are guidelines on how much those increases can be.
Mutation Breeding[1] has been in use since the 1930s and has exactly the same risks in terms of creating unexpected attributes (allergens or whatever) in plants. GMO is little more than a vastly more efficient kind of Mutation Breeding; this is not a new risk.

There is in fact no evidence that the government (any government) is "reading all our emails", or has had the access to do that. There is, on the other hand, a virulent conspiracy theory that the PRISM disclosures from Snowden revealed NSA's ability to do that; that claim was so false that Greenwald now (somewhat deceptively) denies he even acknowledged it.
Sometimes (hard to say without a specific example) the superclass can be represented as its own class and included in each subclass as composition. This has several advantages, including less code per class and therefore smaller interface surface area, more explicit interface / information hiding, and easier testability.
Try fixing those errors in binary libraries or enterprise code.
We need both.
And it only takes one programmer mistake to bring the whole house of cards down.

Isn't this also true of Rust, with its unsafe keyword? None of these languages are completely safe against programmer mistakes.
got it running on osx, first it didn't worked (nothing suggested), then i've restarted it and it seems to work.

pretty basic, but it more or less match my needs.
the only thing that i miss is the file icons or app icons:
it show you multiple match but the icons are all the same, dark, so you can't quickly disambiguate them
Drip tape sometimes is used in tractor based agriculture.
They have a reel mount that lays the tape (usually when plastic is applied to the bed).

Then they throw the tape away at the end of the season.

Commercial strawberry growers use this quite often.

But yes, to your point, high dollar crops.
Both methods are used. I recall (but am probably wrong out of date)

- Monsanto's "roundup ready" line of breeds is resistant to their pesticide, with the idea that nothing else will be.

- GMO crops on average (world-wide? nation-wide?) are sprayed with less pesticides, implying "roundup ready" as an anomaly.

The takeaway is GM is a tool. I'm 100% for it, but like most tools it can be used for good or ill. Let's be careful, without implying the risks here are anything special compared to other powerful technology.
The hidden service fee may not be legal under WA state's fairly strong consumer protections. You can and should report this to the AG's office at: http://atg.wa.gov/FileAComplaint.aspx

If there are enough complaints, things can actually happen.
Yeah. I was once reported missing (by my mother) to the police because I didn't arrive from the big city in the bus she expected. I had just chosen the next one, two hours later.

I was 20 at the time and serving in the army. There I was actually leading company-strength motor marches.

Talk about overly worried parents.

As to your question, a quick Google arrives at a story claiming the number is 4,400:

"U.S. medical examiner and coroners' offices receive an estimated 4,400 unidentified human bodies every year, according to the first national census of medical-legal death investigations, "Medical Examiners and Coroners' Offices, 2004." Of these, about 1,000 are still unidentified after one year, and 600 are buried or cremated."

> At Intel's scale having 4 core chips with integrated graphics or 6 core chips without integrated graphics and slightly smaller transistor count is not a significant cost, meaning they could both sell for similar prices.

Yeah, that's not how silicon manufacturing works. Tooling up for a new part of this size and ramping production gets into the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. No one does niche-market (and yes, gaming desktops are niche) parts at the prices you expect.

Low-volume big parts cost a thousand dollars or more, that's no different at Intel than it is anywhere else.
Being physically present in the stadium is not necessary to watch the game and in a way, those tickets subsidize the game for the rest of us at home. This is especially true for the arts since many artists make most of their money from concert tours (a great example of price discrimination).
Some are designed to reduce the need for pesticides, but many are made by the pesticide companies to be more tolerant to the sprayings. This results in less insect/fungal damage and weeding (though the weeds seem to be able to keep up even without the GMO help).
Thanks everyone for your encouraging feedback! We've processed (most of) the bugs + typos, and realized a quick video to showcase Castor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLqvLqeNI9M).

We're also working on public dashboards (ie. share your dashboard with anyone/any device without the need to login) and that feature should be shipped in the next few hours.

Thanks again!
This is the most powerful thing you can do in a business or for support; you have a set of scripts for the most common cases and actions and you're basically just ticking boxes to get through the process. Then you can use your brainpower for the really hard shit.

It's definitely a game-changer and sad to see most orgs don't do a post-mortem or incident model report at all.
Ah, sorry, Nov 1 -> Dec 28 is 58 days.
Overshooting mainstream performance needs is what drove netbooks... and phones. Now, phones have overshot. So (eg) iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S5 are still selling well.

Mainstream doesn't need the fat trimmed. eg Vulkan/Metal, which halve the CPU load (not GPU) of graphics sit idle.
I think Tesla and Solar City are excellent examples of this. They're not "stop driving, turn off your house lights, etc", they're "keep doing what you do, only now greener"

Of course, issues with the greenlieness of electric cars, etc etc - but remember when solar panels were a net negative? AFAIK, that sure as hell didn't last.
People have been assuming this for years.
Assuming you mean herbicides as well as pesticides the answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. The classic example of a GMO crop is "Roundup Ready" corn, developed by Monsanto. It makes the plant resistant to glyphosate, so the crop can be sprayed, killing weeds &etc. without killing the corn.
Excellent! Obviously this is just itself a speadup of older means artificial selection, but by employing the nuclear boogeyman is a better counter argument.
24% of the Amazon reviews for SICP are for one star- I probably should have specified 'popular reviews' as obviously the reviews in professional journals, etc will be different than a place like Amazon where you have undergrads ranting about their abysmal distributed systems class and the $100 book the professor never used.
I didn't miss your point, it just makes your comparison even worse. You're comparing secondary market ticket prices to tickets with artificially lowered prices sold through a lottery. Decent El Clasico tickets cost a lot more and the median income in Spain is about half the Canadian one.

The relative quality of the games also doesn't really matter, what matters is there are a lot more people in Toronto who want to see an MLS final than there are places to put their butts in. Maybe there should have been a lottery for them but that's also not up to Ticketmaster.
They've done a wonderful job convincing the majority of people that anti-virus is something that you absolutely need, full stop. Once you have that ingrained in someone, they'll put up with all the annoyances.
>I have been reading the articles in this blog: http://hypothermics.com/. It is an excellent blog that chronicles many of the findings and the author performs a lot of these tests on himself.

The problem with such blogs is that there's one for all kinds of kooky theories. The hypothermics, the epsom-salters, the music-therapies, the low-carbers, the paleos, the whatevers...

Some theories might turn out validated by scientific research with control groups and everything, but it's hardly worth it trusting such sources until that happens.
The advantage is that you're depending only on yourself and C. That third party static analysis tool can just be "grep". Or some mild text processing on the output of "nm" to validate that no object files (other than the allowed ones) have external refs to those symbols.
