The BJP govt. has cannily crafted a message where anyone who opposes this move is branded a traitor and conversely anyone who supports it must be a patriot - this is largely responsible for the "positive" feelings many people have around this move. That and the fact that the internet savvy already used Credit cards so they were largely shielded from this.
The Demonetization on the whole was a failure:

1) The strongest reason for pushing it was as an attack on "Black Money" (undeclared wealth outside the taxation net). More than 90 -95% of the demonetized currency is back in the coffers. This magical "back money" is nowhere to be found.

2) The growth rate fell by at least 1% - whatever the other impact this by itself means a massive loss.

3) A large number of "cash only" small-scale businesses have been badly hit - these people are not internet savvy and do not have a voice but they do exist

4) The so called "leap" to a digital economy is mostly a temporary phenomena - just wait till the new currency is available in sufficient quantities

So on balance - all the pain and suffering of the people will NOT bear the reward most of them think it would.

KVM does not use any of the CPU/instruction emulation in QEMU. It only uses the device emulation code and the interface to the host (asynchronous I/O, sockets, VNC, etc.).

We are adding unit tests for a lot of new code, and some parts of the code (especially the block device backends) have a comprehensive set of regression tests.

Also, distributions can disable obsolete devices if they wish. Red Hat does that in RHEL, for both security and supportability reasons. So if you want a free hardened QEMU, use CentOS. :-) Several other companies do so, including Nutanix and Virtuozzo.
I don't like the design of the user interface - at all. If Firefox looked and worked exactly like Chrome, I'd use it in a heartbeat. There's way too much clutter everywhere. At some point I'd like to redo the entire design for them.

What happens in those situations is that the smarter children usually wind up coasting through, simply because they find it so easy to stay ahead of the mean.

For the early part of my life, that was me.

Working 10 years of jobs that I hated were my big motivator to resume my education with a renewed vigor. It has worked out well for me since but I would have been much better off if I had not been in that sea of mediocrity during my formative years.
I find it's easiest to restart with add-ons disabled (under Help) and confirm that add-ons are the problem first.

To narrow it down to the add-on(s) causing the problem, disabling all of them under about:addons then re-enabling one at a time is a good approach, although can be time-consuming if you have a lot of add-ons installed.

Also - about:performance might give you some clues.

Because black money boarders would get to know and figure out ways to exchange their money. The government officials are big time corrupt and once they get to know they would have figured out ways to sabotage the demonetization plans. The Government & Prime Minister Modi did an excellent job in keeping this as a secret till last minute. Otherwise, this scheme would have been a failure. Unlike the opinion expressed in the article, most Indians are happy about the demonetization step took by the gov.

Most daily wage labours and farmers did not face any issues as pointed in this article. They were able to buy food items and necessary stuff and pay the vendor later. India runs on this kind of mutual credit system.
This is meaningless. If the majority of that 15% comes from big planed purchases, but 99% of the stores that sell food do not take cards, you will eventually see bread riots on the street as the implementations of the cashless economy proceeds.

The actual question to ask is, for how long could an average citized go without cash without failing to acquire an esential supply at regular market value? And how does the figure change if you are willing/able to pay at any price point?

A manager should be just a facilitator.

Our department manager at a previous company that I've worked for had economic background, while we were a Perl dev department. Basically, his job depended on our productivity, while our job depended on his ability to win projects. We had to trust each other that we were doing our jobs properly.

While we made sure he could make the customers happy with our work, he screened us from interactions with pesky customers and got us all we needed so we can focus entirely on the projects.

I worked with him for 5 years and we've been totally happy.

I found that with the SC the aiming for games just isn't there.

For games like FPS I just haven't found that the SC is workable.
Ok, lets look at this stuff.

Would it have mattered to you if a machine interpreted the results and a nurse, fully versed in the specialty, had a consultation with you and guided you through the treatment process?

It seems like the bigger issue here is having some warmth of some sort in the situation - which I think is where medicine is really going, at least in the way we experience it. Computers and machines to do the hard diagnosis, with educated humans guiding other humans through. I believe we'll have less unpopular practitioners because we'll be able to spend more time teaching bedside manner and communication skills.
That's possible, but the premise of these three points is how they deal with facts that they -- ok, almost certainly "he" -- does not like.

That they are willing to outright lie to the world about simple facts that are plainly obvious even to a child (e.g. crowd size in photographs) does not bode well for their representation of complex, nuanced, and consequential information.

I suppose there is a fourth possibility: this is a dominance game for the President, forcing staffers to lie about his hobbyhorses, knowing millions will accept the pronouncements as truth, and winking at his infuriated opponents. If he'll say his crowd was the largest in history when it's plain to all that it was not, what will he say about some new "Presidential voter fraud investigation" whose conclusions will be used to further suppress the vote and "make him correct"?

I think the problem with webpack isn't the websockets, but that the devtools have a hard time dealing with large JS files, and especially large JS source maps. Changing the sourcemap option in webpack has helped avoiding hanging for me in the past. It would be nice if that wasn't the case though.
> As for conscription, it's a similar situation. The constitution allows the government to "raise and support Armies" under article I section 8. This has been interpreted to mean the usage of the resources of the nation to build an army as approved by Congress. It can be money (taxes), land (eminent domain), or people (conscription).

Conscription stems from the understanding of the militia as being universal and the express power of Congress to "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions", not from the power of Congress to "raise and support Armies".
Financial companies deal with far more complex risks than this every day. Making a fraud-heavy account profitable is as simple as demanding a surcharge.

Maybe some of the smaller guys don't have the resources to manage an account with the extra complexity. But EVERY company giving up a juicy profit opportunity? No way. The answer they're giving is the correct one: they simply aren't allowed to process payments from adult websites.
>"perhaps try to initiate other studies to see if there's any other way to align their policy goals with reality"

I may have misunderstood. What did you mean by the above line then?

If you keep initiating studies you will eventually get the results you want. It will generate tons of noise along the way as well.
I doubt the concern was fraud risk. Fetlife has been accepting cards for long enough that they should have data on the Fetlife fraud rate specifically, so wouldn't have any reason to blindly apply a sex=>fraud policy that they would if they Fetlife were applying for the first time.

It is probably a legal risk from laws that hold them liable for certain merchant behaviours.

> Also, yes, I do believe it's possible to improve schools holistically.

Then I doubt I'll convince you through internet comments, but I think our goals are aligned (better education for all). However, we want to take different approaches to achieve it. The source I cited agrees that we should create an environment in which teachers are flexible, but my point in citing is that despite the comprehensive research that's been done on this topic, we've made very few steps towards actually accomplishing it, so I think it's time to give up that line of thought and try another, which is to separate students.

Separated schooling does have advantages, such as challenging gifted students ("A troubling finding that emerged was the preference of a few of the [gifted] students for heterogeneous classes because they were easier and enabled them to attain a high class ranking with little work")[1] and separation of children enable them to grow at a faster pace ("After 2 years, academically handicapped students in cooperative elementary schools had significantly higher achievement in reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, language expression, math computation, and math application in comparison with similar students in comparison schools") [2].

Do you think bullies are limited to the "stupid" kids? Let me tell you something - that's not the case at all. There is a good distribution of smart kids who just like to mess with others as well.
You've described the fate of an entire generation of gifted students. It's awfully hard to overcome years and years of this instilled at an early/formative age. Teaching children to work for goals is one of the most important tasks that parents and to a lesser extent society, have.

The proxy accepts two incoming connections: from your server and from the client, then it bridges them and allows the client to negotiate an SSH handshake with the server.

I addressed this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13484860

It's not about "monopoly in the phone market". It's about controlling the browser market (more precisely, development and adoption of HTML features) through monopolistic ban of competing browsers on iOS.
Yes and no.

"Coins" aren't a thing, so there's nothing to be tainted, per-se. However, yes - if an address that ordered a murder sends you a lot of btc, expect someone to come by and discuss it.

Also, the waters are muddied now (intentionally), in a similar way to how every piece of American cash is rumored to have traces of cocaine on it. The theory is that the more this implicates everyone, the less it implicates anyone.
There is no ability to eternally speed up the browers without doing less work (in the sense in my comment), and while it may never technically limit to zero, it will plateau at some point. Just as Javascript performance pretty much has.
Incentives for behavior modification is always a fascinating area.
In this case, the daycare was incentivized to track people being late more closely since they had a financial interest in doing so. I suspect the outcome was somewhere in the middle of more accurate record keeping and introducing the ability for the parents to pay off their guilt.

I prefer Chrome's speed, minimal UI, and truly automatic updates (as in they're applied without ever even prompting me).
As for why e10s is not enabled: It is being slowly rolled out to many users, and each new version of Firefox enables it for more users. It is a huge change to the browser, so Mozilla is being very cautious with the transition.
> It is not an issue for apps which spend most of the time doing I/O.

This is a common misconception that doesn't seem to be backed up by any data.

Dave Beazley did a number of performance tests with profiling, looking at GIL contention in a multi-core scenario: http://www.dabeaz.com/python/GIL.pdf

The results were that even IO-bound workloads still suffered because of the poor implementation of the GIL (details on slide 35 or so). This was an issue up until Python 3.2 (!) when a new GIL implementation was added, which he also profiled: http://www.dabeaz.com/python/NewGIL.pdf
As a web developer, Firefox is the new IE. Random little quirks that never get fixed.

This can be simple as long as there is a scientific way to identify gifted children that is fairly and unequivocally available to all children and as a society there is clarity and consensus on what to do with both groups.

If there is consensus then there also has to be a way to cross pollinate between both groups as gifted children are discovered later and those who are gifted but unable to cope are moved back.

And finally since the fundamental basis for any such exercise is ensuring gifted children get the attention they need, any plan has to ensure full and comprehensive support to the unprivileged so children who are gifted but from unprivileged backgrounds are not denied opportunities to exploit their full talent because of circumstance.

1) it was looked at and took too much effort.

2) Performance and GIL are things people who don't actually use Python complain about. In practice they are non-issues or have workable solutions.
The general problem with this kind of rhetoric is that it implies that sufficient action could have gotten something done, and I just don't believe that's the case.

If you don't have any idea what to do, it is not always better to "do something". Actions must be correct, especially in these cynical times.
I run Firefox when I can, both because of Reader View, and because I want to click an arrow to show my most frequently viewed sites. I've been using it since it was Firebird, and I think it may even have been called something else before that, so this is a matter of habit.

The reasons I don't use Firefox are because I'm using a Chromebook, an Android device, or an iPad.
I'm confused and have a couple questions:

1. Why would I want someone to ssh into my machine -- at least with the frequency that a service to help me do it is valuable?

2. How is this easier/better than saying 'hey bro whats your ssh pub id? -- eh.. do `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`

Over all this seems like a tool that only super technical people would ever use, and for those people adding a key to authorized keys is trivial.
I have heard this argument of the Indian middle class standing in lines but having a positive outlook of the future. That’s the general sentiment floating around. Many economists and social scientists in India have been highly critical of the move and its implementation too. The govt didn’t present data about how much dirty cash was scooped up through this move. It’s narrative changed from bringing back dirty money to digital transactions.
The population hit hard by this move is the poor, which frankly hasn’t got the kind of access to technology to be using credit and debit cards. Access to smartphones hasn’t picked up to the extent of substituting it as an alternative to cash. What about them? They form a large chunk. Not a lot of media attention has been given to this section of society - the daily wage earners, factory workers paid in cash, farmers[0]. Who’s talking about these folks? I would be more interested in some real insights into this instead of rhetoric and searching for some silver lining.

This is a fair point: immutable data is just part of the solution. To get the win, you need to toss out all references to the old data when you update it: then you ensure that you can't access "stale" data. This requires some discipline, either manual (e.g., reusing the same variable name for the old and new bindings to ensure the stale binding is shadowed) or automatic (e.g., linear types).
Facts are common property and are the same for everyone, so they are useless as signifiers of community membership.
Firefox is the only browser that has microstutters in the UI for me. That's a dealbreaker, I can't deal with it constantly pestering me throughout the day.

As both a developer and a manager, not bad at all. It's my responsibility to make sure that everything is covered. I cross train all my people to make sure that someone leaving will be ok. When people get pulled from my project, etc., I spend all the remaining time getting them to teach other people all the stuff they forgot to show people while they were doing it.

It's your life, and you have to live it. If this is the right move for you, then you have to take it.
Being a free country does not mean necessarily you can act freely against the collective good.

Yes. That's precisely what it means.

Serving the collective good is a fine ideal but for me to pursue my own interests before yours (and for you to pursue yours before mine) is a mandate.

Once you mandate the good of the state over the good of your own children, you are no longer a free society.

I use FF Nightly as my primary browser at work. Sometimes a site doesn't work and I'll try it in Chrome instead. 40% of the time, the site doesn't work there, either, so I try Internet Explorer. By the time I get this far, 75% of the time, it doesn't work there either and I decide that the website is broken. Note that some sites I always open in MSIE or Chrome due to prior experience.

It is worth noting that aside from a few web-based developers' demos, my browsing on the work PC is notably undemanding: documentation, blogs, email, messaging, etc. Among the actual web applications I interact with, many require MSIE... (Intranet!)

At home, I use FF stable on Linux and nothing works, ever. I don't have enough RAM or CPU power... I also use qupzilla, which performs well enough, but some rendering fails and I don't feel comfortable using it on wild URLs because ... well that's off topic.
