From the interview:e360: Do you mind being thrust in the limelight of talking about this when it is not your main interest. You’ve suddenly become the poster child for global warming skepticism.

Dyson: Yes, it is definitely a tactical mistake to use somebody like me for that job, because I am so easily shot down. I’d much rather the job would be done by somebody who is young and a real expert. But unfortunately, those people don’t come forward.

e360: Are there people who are knowledgeable about this topic who could do the job of pointing out what you see as the flaws?

Dyson: I am sure there are. But I don’t know who they are.
Imagine trying to move a couch with your hands tied behind your back. That is how it has been for us the past few months. Good things coming soon though.
I was about to download but I saw this comment. Thank you sir.
hi everyone,

i'm a sales guy at oracle. feel free to AMA, i'm here for a bit (5:45 NY time)

i wanted to add that a yearly commissions earning of +800k would put you in the top 50 of all 80,000 global sales people (we have 139k employees)

so when the article says that her contribution is minor in the eyes of oracle, it really shouldn't be seen that way, because they are screwing one of the company's best sales people 10x harder than they screw the rest of us

also, they screw us in the following ways: withhold payments, late payments for months, improperly calculated profit margins (we are paid on profit not rev), changing our rates mid year, data entry errors that assign commissions to wrong sales reps...

you name it, they do it. all about cost cutting. no desire to retain employees or customers.

EDIT: i appear to be rate limited so i will will either comment with edits or just wait until it expires :)
what's the relations of this with the official RN library? we have `NavigationExperimental`, `Navigator`, `NavigatorIOS` and tons of other navigation libraries out there.
Orthogonal to my peeve. :-)

After earnings, there are two questions:

1. How did X do?
2. How did analysts think X would do?

Perfect analysts would predict Xs earnings every time, and the stock would be unaffected by announcements. But analysts aren't perfect. That's ok!

What's not ok is that the headlines are invariably "X misses expectations". No, the expectations were wrong.

I'm not saying a company can't do well or badly. Only that its job is not to match analyst expectations, and "X misses expectations" promotes that fiction.
Wikipedia is the worst online community I've seen in my entire life, and believe me, I've seen a lot. It's like a steel cage death match between autists and narcissists. I doubt there's enough money in this world to fix something like that.
Is there an alternative to Stack Overflow?
I'm a junior developer and like the overwhelming majority of new people on that site, I am regularly abused for my dumb questions. I know that less than 5% of first time users ever return or try to contribute but I don't see any other options. I do want to participate in a community like this but not if these people are so condescending and nasty...where can I go?
Probably, but that's not the problem we're trying to solve. I don't care about the clean division, but it's fine that some people do. If you add a "doping" allowed division, the clean division is no worse off than it is now. It might be better, or it might not. But that's a secondary goal if anything.
You can troll your way into a civil war, but you can't troll your way out of it.
Very few people are going to be using KDE apps exclusively. For a start, it doesn't have a modern web browser, and a huge amount of stuff relies on one these days.
There's an obvious tradeoff between number of partitions and overhead though. Too many, and the increased network traffic will impact the usefulness of the cluster, especially if they need to be fetched from multiple racks for a single computation.

You sound well informed, I just wanted to point out that HFDS replication is not a simple problem.

Also, hopefully you have more than one disk per node (assuming physical machines) ;)
I suppose if your definition of "plenty" is different than mine, that you could be right.

Having said that, I have a hard time taking any anti-abortion group seriously (whether religious or not) which does not actually have an official position on rape.

What possible non-religious argument could there be made to force a woman to carry to term (and care for) the child of their rapist?
I had a much clearer idea of what Hillary's agenda was than I do of Trump's, notwithstanding her secretive nature and career as an insider. People conflate Trump's frank talk with transparency for some reason, whereas I find it extremely obfuscatory.
we are all learning from the same folks ahead of us it seems :)

I agree with other comments though the devil is in the details of how to actually setup these "golden signals" so that they are useful and not just drown everyone in packet level non-sense.
My point isn't so much about a "notion of truth" (classical or intuitionistic), nor is it about "proofs as programs", but about "programs as proofs", which is really only true when programs are viewed narrowly, and in a specific formalism that Wadler is trying to promote. In other words, I take issue with presenting computation as equivalent to logic. The two obviously have things in common, and ideas flow in both directions, but presenting them as being one and the same, or two sides of the same coin, is misleading.
Just curious if anyone considering this has compared it to the Chromebook Pixel 2015 model. The Pixel is discontinued now but still available (and for half of its retail price). It seems like the two machines target a similar audience.
I saw a demonstration (about 2 years ago) of an mobile ARM powered offline voice recognition platform, faster than Google and more accurate.

There was a side by side with Google's online voice recognition and it out performed in speed and accuracy on a mobile GPU/CPU. Complete with an actual learning system. That is truer to an AI for the Raspberry Pi, not to mention addressing privacy concerns.

If this is a glorified API / Cloud adapter rather than a true AI, what is it really?

GCC's C parser is a 550 kilobyte file that is almost 19000 lines long. The C++ one is over 1.1 megabytes long, and close to 39,000 lines. Github refuses to display it as code, only raw.

Lisps don't have anything that even comes close.

Well, we know they don't do this on scale, because we'd spot the rogue certs in the certificate transparency logs.

Worst a recruiter can do is call your company's main line and ask to speak to you (found your name on LinkedIn). And then they're like: "Hi Jay, how are you?" like you're best buddies.
I'll stick with the captain who sinks with his ship over the one with a private life raft.
Maybe I'm missing something. Why did you get angry at the recruiter for complimenting a picture of your cat? The recruiter clearly saw you have affection for your cat and was trying to be personable and pay respect to your late furry friend.

New Google Sites
I just look at my notifications when I pick up my phone to check what new emails came in, if it's important I'll either reply to it there or if I need to reply later with something I need a PC for I'll leave the notification up so I remember later. I don't have any issue with this and it seems pretty much perfect to me. I don't get the problem.
It depends on whether you look at control flow (who calls whom) or data flow.
Pretty sure that I initially heard about them through Tim Ferriss's podcast with Charles Poliquin (a world renown strength coach). He talked about them when outlining his sleep routine.

The Minister in charge at the time is claiming (feigning?) complete ignorance; apparently he "doesn't recall the application" which, given it was granted under "special circumstances", is pretty rich. The Government are getting questioned about this closely. Even if it comes under the investor visa, I suspect the populace is going to want some evidence of investment, because we're full-steam into a housing unaffordability crisis, and I suspect many will take a dim view of a foreign investor owning $10m of property (even if it is a luxury estate and not really related).
I understand the idea of supporting ranges of libraries from a development perspective, but when you're running something in production, is "use any of these configurations" ever desirable?

Presumably there's a reason that you'd _want_ them to use 1.12.4 over 1.0.0 (or you'd want to at least check that they didn't break anything that you rely on in 1.13 when that comes out)?
Except that "brilliance" != high IQ.
Have you heard the news about the private email servers used by the Republicans?
Awesome! A better navigator is the #2 feature request for React Native - this solves a huge pain point. https://productpains.com/product/react-native

In my experience this was one of the worst parts about using React Native - that there wasn't a simple, easy router (like React Router for web).

Looking at the GitHub repo (https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation), it looks like this was a collaboration between FB engineers, Exponent (great product + team!), and the open source community. So thankful for these incredibly smart folks working on software we can all use for free. <3

>And there's nothing good to be said about any politicians. They're all self-serving lying scum. Some of them are only slightly less ugly.

It's that attitude that led to Trump, a man elected to the most powerful political office in the world not because he was qualified for the job, but because he was entertaining and willing to pander to the cynicism your comment displays.

After all, if all politicians are self-serving lying scum, then who cares if one is overtly more so than the others? That probably makes him more honest than the others, right?

Personally I'm sympathetic to both perspectives. I'd rather give up most of my money than be the king of the wasteland. But if you've already spent, say, 20% of your fortune on reducing poverty is it wrong to spend 1% on personal insurance?
It does appear to handle glob expansion. Some of the levels have files within subdirectories, which isn't always completely clear from the challenge text. In the level you're trying, access.log might not be in the current directory.
One really important caveat here-- nature abhors a vacuum, and spinal cord injuries are no exception. A chronic injury to the spinal column will result in scar tissue coming in over the wound, which is a totally separate issue from the initial injury. If your spinal cord injury is over a month old, you have a completely separate problem, ie, how to clear out the scar tissue so that nerve regeneration is even possible.
Ponder the meaning of the words in the title: The foundation of a more secure web. There's a clear implication of using market power to exercise universal control, and (as we've seen with email & browsers) this is not a new behaviour for Google.
I'm not sure that's true. Certainly if you fix a particular programming language, that's equivalent to picking a particular logical formalism (and by Gödel's incompleteness theorem we know that can't be the whole story).

But saying that proofs are programs is a more general statement. Computations are always possible to write down as programs, and by the Church-Turing thesis we know that we can pick any reasonably computational model (Turing machines, say, or untyped lambda calculus), and know that we have captured all of them--we don't have to worry about "missing" some extra computations outside the formalism.

The flips side is that without a type system, you can't in general tell which programs are proofs and which are not. But that's as it should be---truth is always an undecidable notion. This means that if we want a foundation for mathematics we should consider _realizability_, not _typeability/provability_ as the most basic notion.

How spystealth.orggmail.com saved me from my wicked wife
I'm disabled after a fatal accident. My wife abused me and neglected me by hitting me in my sleep, switching my medication and stealing my pain medication I have a brain injury so she would tell me I was hallucinating or making it up that I was beating her in my sleep because I was having nightmares and hating myself but the doctors told me it is impossible for me to dream anymore and that injuries are permanent. I got rushed for brain surgery after all my money is gone and I lost my business and she told me I’m going to be alone forever because I’m retard. I just needed to go into her facebook because she is in mine and messaging people bad things and has left me nobody talking to me. so i went online to start my search for a professional hacker then i found spystealth.org@gmail.com. i mailed him and told him what i needed him to do for me. He helped me at a more affordable price, and even faster than i expected. He helped me gain the evidence i needed to win the case against the wicked woman i called my wife. Thats how she got out of my life for good. Since then i have promised spystealth.org@gmail.com to always give good reviews about him anywhere i am. spystealth.org@gmail.com is legit and the man for the job. Thank me later......
Pex: Deploy Python executables
I thought the Internet had grown beyond this sort of behavior:

Google Sites works with the two most recent desktop versions of the following browsers:

-Chrome
-Firefox
The patient's age being twenty-one may have made a difference in this happy news story. My dad had a slip and fall on ice at age seventy-two that left him paralyzed from the chin down until he died six years later. He had had a similar injury from a car crash (back when cars didn't have seat belts) at age eighteen, from which he recovered fully (although he wasn't so paralyzed from the first injury). So when he had his second injury, he at first thought he would also recover from that injury. Maybe because the second injury aggravated damage to his spine still remaining from his first injury, or maybe just because he was a lot older when injured the second time, he never recovered much at all from the second injury. His experience reminds me how many other people in a family are affected by spinal cord injuries, and thus how important it is to find better treatments for them.

So it's hard to say how wide a range of patients will be treatable with the new technique, but that's what medical research is for: to find out what helps for which patients. I hope further research continues on this and other treatments for spinal cord injuries.

Judging from the fact that you created your account recently and your first post ever is negative about Adderall suggests to me that you have an agenda.

Doesn't libigl use Eigen for matrices? Eigen is a full-featured matrix library with a pretty decent API. If you just need a 4x4 grid of numbers, then you don't really need a library, sure. But once you need to do matrix arithmetic, basic linear algebra, various forms of indexing, mixing matrices of different types (e.g. float/double/int/etc), things get complicated, fast. A complex library like igl needs all this and more. I'm guessing this is why there's so many matrix libraries - everyone prefers rolling their own, after all, how hard can it be? (I'm guilty of this, so I'd know. But I reach for Eigen most of the time these days).
What separates this from other turntable.fm clones?
It doesn't do it well. It's inconsistently applied, many icons/apps incorrectly render, and you have to be consistent in your DE. Much like windows, even windows 10. Somehow, Apple is the only one to have actually solved this well where it just works, and apps that don't support it scale appropriately.
Definitely going to try this out. Having a consistent navigation library seems to be the last missing puzzle when building cross platform apps. Currently our project is set up to use the same Redux reducer and actions codebase for both mobile and web platform. The goal is to share all codebase and adding a new platform will be simply creating a new view component. Unfortunately, a lack of unified navigation library has caused us to create all kinds of hacks to get to make things work. We use react router on web and react-native-router-flux on native.

I'm part of a group working together on a project to teach ourselves coding so if anybody has any existing solution or alternatives, please share!
Looks like it was made via a collaboration of several core React Native contributors so I'd guess this will be the future of navigation for React Native.

Checklist for a code review
That's totally fine when you're in the private sector, do whatever you want. I'm all for people holding as many passports as they can acquire until the day when passports are no longer a necessity.

If you're working for or directly influencing government, though, you potentially have a conflict of interest. That's why you can't become President if you were not born a US citizen, and why Ted Cruz resigned his Canadian citizenship even though he technically didn't have to.
I think this is especially important for developers. Our jobs are very intellectually complex, we have to constantly maintain a mental model of the code as we trace a bug back from the place it manifests to where it originated, as well as when formulating a solution to correct the bug that won't break anything else in the program.

When you get popped out of "the zone", you don't just lose the two minutes it takes you to answer your coworker's question, you also are losing the 15-30 minutes of context that you built up about the behavior of the problem.

Donald Knuth phrased it thusly: "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study."

It's bothered me in the past, now I'm thinking about doing something about it. Like disabling desktop notifications in Outlook for anything that's not flagged Important.
I didn't think we were allowed to even potentially change the order, so I used

awk '{if (!c[$0]) { print }; c[$0] = 1 }'
Is this to say they acquire other companies for their customers?

Do you see how you were ascribing unfounded and unproven intentions to someone else for their comment? Your claim that "obviously, they must have done it to muddy the waters" is the perfect example of precisely what you complain about.
I agree that having access to the original source is valuable. For that reason I went to Cloudflare's original post (as opposed to the Business Insider article you've linked to). Their original post (https://blog.cloudflare.com/accelerated-mobile/) links to the AMP cache guidelines on the AMP GitHub repo. The guidelines start like this:

> In the AMP ecosystem, the platform that links to content may freely choose which AMP Cache (if any) to use. It is an inversion of the typical model where content delivery is the responsibility of the publisher.
Not if they know Tesla will lose such lawsuits.
As black_knight said, you don't need the axiom of choice for Cantor's diagonalization proof---that particular proof is completely constructive and can be written as an ordinary non-oracular program.
I also used this approach but the original creator's version posted on GitHub is remarkably more concise (due to a clever use of the ++ operator).
I can understand the usefulness of search ads and ads on maps, but if I see an ad on youtube it is unlikely I am going to go buy a product.
