There's not much of substance to this article. The world of electronics is a bigger place than turning a load full on or full off with a Mosfet. A couple exercises if you want to see why having some BJT's around is handy: Try to find a Mosfet that turns on at 0.6 Vgs. Compare the leakage Ids leakage of a Mosfet to the Ice leakage of a comparable BJT. I also take issue with the idea that "all that extra stuff" is drawn in the Mosfet symbol for "no reason". The body diode alone is an important factor to consider EVERY time you use a Mosfet. When you read schematics every day, you're trained to recognize when diodes will forward conduct in your circuit and having that drawn in the Mosfet symbol helps you immediately see problems that would otherwise make it into your final circuit.
So all day cc or never
> But now it's pretty unlikely Trump's FCC will call them out on it.

Maybe at the federal level, but nothing is stopping the states from intervening.

When Comcast and Time Warner Cable were planning on merging, New York State hinted that they would consider blocking the merger (within New York) if it went through. Ultimately the deal fell apart before the FCC had a chance to announce their decision, let alone NYS, but it's definitely possible for that to happen here.
I'm probably going to try VScode again but it was not there yet for me. Also please bring in full Perl support please!
> To understand this you need to look at the career track of newly minted math PhDs and what one needs to do to secure tenure.

You can pursue new mathematics without having a PhD. I think the most difficult/frustrating part about academic/institutional mathematics is the politics and bureaucratic bullshit.
folks are digging the kemper profiler too. Can't argue with the results but i guess im still addicted to analog.
> If I tax you at 50% on $500k and 10% on anything under $500k, the relative value of $500,001 vs. $500,000 is ~$.40.

It's $.50, because $500,001 is more than $500,000 and you're taxing anything over $500,000 at 50%.

> -$30,000 :: 50% Tax Rate (to quickly recover the UBI on the first $60k)

> -$132,000 :: 30% Tax Rate (we are no longer recovering UBI, up to $500k)

> -$300,000 :: 60% Tax Rate (to discourage excessive compensation)

You don't need this and you don't want it. You have people making $200K paying a lower marginal tax rate than people making $20K. That makes no sense and is anti-progressive. Your highest tax bracket is more than 20% higher than the existing one (and really 40% higher vs. the long term capital gains rate), but you don't need that money unless you want to pay for a higher UBI, and if you did then you could just use a 60% flat tax rate and let the higher UBI make up for it.

Just use a flat tax with a UBI. All of the complexity really is completely unnecessary.

Also, if you have a UBI you don't need a minimum wage.

> The cheating comes from the itemized deduction process.

The cheating comes from not treating similar transactions the same. Part of that is all the deductions, but part of it is that two different people can make the same dollar and pay a different tax rate. So then you get families cheating because dad makes $240K from the family business and the three children are off at college making nothing, so instead they all get nominal jobs in the family business making $60K each and dad is down to $60K and out of the high tax brackets. And so on with a hundred other ways to redistribute income within a family/corporate hierarchy/whatever to arbitrage non-uniform tax rates.

If there is only one tax rate you can't do any of that.

> The points of vulnerability to this approach also exist in a flat-consumption tax model. (i.e. Someone has to collect the tax on behalf of the government and nothing stops them from lying about their income other than criminal penalties)

VAT solves this easily. Every time a business sells something it has to submit VAT and can only deduct the VAT collected by its suppliers if they actually paid it, so now you have every link in the supply chain with a financial incentive to report the others if they haven't paid.
You have an option to disable automatic VSC update. You can also update it via chocolatey.
That's not a counterpoint, that is exactly the point. Maybe it becomes clearer if you read the speech. Math is hard, but it's being made much, much harder than it has to be.

Call me a nerd, but I'd call all of your points a pretty basic requirements for a citizen of a technological civilization.

Failing that, we end up with lot of crazy beliefs about the world that people wouldn't have if they hadn't forgotten 99% of stuff they spent learning in high school.
Apart from anything else, there's a delightful irony in that the device that (probably) kept him alive to be able to commit a crime was also responsible for catching him.

It sounds as though the doctors' evidence was fairly powerful regardless of the data from the pacemaker.
Sure, in that case, then I agree with the saurik. The solution is you just put in more labels in your switch statement. And, if you aren't so keen on that sort of discipline, use a macro ALL_CMDS so you don't have to change nine places in the code.

Go "O(1)" on all the CMDs or don't, for the sake of ease of comprehension. In the hypothetical, or may be practical world[0] where size+computation constraints require you must goto some of them and if-else the rest of them, I suppose the "1/2goto,1/2if-else" optimization would be one of the latter considerations for optimization over a host of other things you can consider.

[0] I admit I don't hack in that world, but I do computational physics, which is more about vectorizing things, not optimization of branching typically.

apparently the "All Writs Act" of 1789 is the "constitution doesn't apply to you" trump card.
The question is, does he have the power to do this? It seems to me every time someone speaks up against him, he has the power to do damages - either by firing, cutting funds, banning the press, etc. My understanding of the "checks and balances" should be that not a single person - including someone as powerful as the president - should be able to do that.
Not a fan of the app store model, but I've literally never heard of people paying for updates on app stores. In fact I've heard many developers complain about the lack of paid upgrades on the Mac App Store.

>If it’s a country which is not hostile to Israel that we can help, we’ll do it

To say Saudi Arabia isn't hostile towards Israel takes one heck of a lot of mental gymnastics, or a burying of your head in the sand. Wahhabism isn't exactly known to be pro-Judaism.
Whoa, whoa, whoa: People are still using mythtv and it still works? Wasn't the dev scooped up by Google years ago?
I'm from Jamaica, and grew up eating lots of lychees as well. Never had any problems. Only ate them ripe. I haven't had fresh lychees in years though, mostly now buying the canned ones in syrup from China.

The owners of lychee trees, however, had tons of issues. It's such a loved fruit that if you had such a tree, it was pretty much guaranteed that praedial thieves would strike. It got so bad that I remember one nurse in the community cutting down her tree when the sight of strange men roaming her yard became too much.

IMHO, since it's a static website, they can use a static website generator and simply usage something like GitLab pages to deploy it (for free).

There is a bit of work to be done, but it shouldn't be too terrible if the templates and stuff are okay.
You can set "update.channel" : "none" in your User Settings. (I was also bitten by it once)
Googling for gyroscope poster or gyroscope github doesn't produce anything relevant in the first few results.

I can see that. It must be very juxtaposing to see upper middle class blacks/hispanics/females (the typical "oppressed minority" working at big tech companies) getting special benefits.
Snaps have a sharing mechanism called interfaces but yes, the software author has to declare they want to use it, no magic there.

So, they've reinvented dependencies (though, to their credit, they gave them a different name), one of the very things snaps were intended to alleviate?

Look, don't get me wrong, snaps have some interesting advantages (sandboxing being the one major selling point, IMO). But, again, they're no panacea.
Not how it works; that's leading the witness, and just because you are an expert in one field (comparing code) doesn't mean you are an expert in another (assessing the value).

I've actually been in this exact situation as an expert witness. The defendant had written code in language "A", sold it, then wrote similar code in language "B". The question was whether code "B" had been written while looking at code "A".

The answer was yes, and I could prove it. Code often has a history that's apparent (e.g., you throw in an if statement to catch a weird input, and you add a comment like "fixing the wheelabrator-fry issue from december"). New code won't have the same history, and therefore should not have the same structure. If it does, the code must have been copied.

That's especially true if there are dated comments in the code.

What I wasn't asked was the economic value of the copying. Other experts handled that; I was just an expert in the two languages.

BTW: the final assessed value was much less than the cost of the trial. And I felt sorry for the defendant; most of the code had not been copied.
Indeed it makes sense, sorry if I came a bit abrupt. It's just people assumed r/altright was something a bit like r/the_donald but in reality it was more like r/european (which also got banned for doxxing/harrassment of other users as well). I personally not welcome this kind of extreme free speech but I guess everyone has a different ideal of what free speech should be!

Great to see the progress here. The one I'm really looking forward to is 'impl trait'.[0]

My understanding is this will allow returning trait implementations (such as Iterator) without resorting either to dynamic dispatch or leaking the concrete type.

Yeah, that was the main reason I didn't use it a lot actually. Powershell is slow to begin with and in VSC it was just 10x slower and buggy.

I am very happy that this is solved.
I agree. I've noticed this issue where your anticipated difficulty of something ends up determining your experience of its difficulty. With math—most of the time—there's nothing intrinsic in what you're learning that would make it more difficult than say, learning the rules to a complex board game, or the structure of one's government—and yet, people go into learning math with knowledge of its reputation as only being suited to certain special kinds of minds. If you suspect you're one of the chosen you can go into it with relish; if not, you respectfully put in your time, knowing you're in someone else's territory, and sort of meekly do what you can.

I think most of the difficulty is 1) determined by your expectation of it 2) initial foreignness and the invisibility of the gap between the concepts you need to understand something, and the ones you already have (i.e. when an outsider just looks at some mathematical statement they have no comprehension of, it's not clear that there are a few layers of concepts underlying it which could be smoothly traversed, as long as one puts the time into it and is given some direction.)
What's the best way to optimize cost here? Complete site cached and served from memory (no disc access -> faster response times -> scales better)?
There definitely are people who want that buzzsaw sound. The Boss HM-2 pedal "chainsaw" sound is also having a moment right now. I'm not really into either, but I do like really saturated high gain sounds with a lot of compression.
If someone has come to the USA for education, and can find a job in that field, I think it's fair. If you've shown you're willing to get good grades throughout four years of college, that's some indication that you have good discipline and would be a net benefit to the economy.

There's no guarantee of that, but if someone wants to stay, they'll be paying taxes (and were throughout their schooling days), driving the housing market, etc. If they can't find a job, they'll likely think about going elsewhere.
Curious if folks agree with our conclusions here...
Same here, with uMatrix added, too. Rather pleasant experience, too. No autoplaying video (I would see that there was a video and I'd bet it would autoplay had I not had uMatrix).
Money does that to your head. It quickly clarifies your actual beliefs.
Offtopic grammar peeve: You probably mean "This _raises_ the question". Begging the question is rather different.
I miss being able to study mathematics every day. It blows my mind how something so critical to modern society can be so undervalued.
You can't stay alive without blood, but we can use it to convict a person.

The 4th amendment isn't there to make it hard to get a conviction. It is there to make sure you aren't harassed by searches.
Do you think it's the culture of science or the inherent uncertainty?

From my own experience I think it's the latter. Jumping off the edge of human knowledge and hoping there was a result to catch my fall was very mentally taxing. Not many other careers force you to grabble with the uncertainty of creating knowledge, and I think it takes a toll.
Why does it matter to Comcast whether I watch on one, two, or fifteen TVs in my house? It doesn't cost them any more money (aside from the initial in-house cabling and splitters)
I wonder how hard it would be to convince folks to drop their expensive setups in favor of nearly $0 static sites, as well as how much up front cost they'd be willing to shovel out for the transition. S3 + CDN (+ Lambdas optionally) feels really ready to me for almost any straightforward "website." For most things GitHub/Lab pages is an easy path to that.
Atom has an extension that allows you to mouseover a base64 string and see the image output
It's the fallacy that has led to the extreme oversupply of post-graduate academic job seekers: far too many people are in college, getting advice from professors who think, "well, it worked for me, you should do it too!"
As someone with direct experience with this, it's nice (and important) to see this reality get more recognition. Something unmentioned in the article is that the military/intelligence relations are far stronger and better integrated than the tech relationships.

The article correctly points out that the Arab states involved (this doesn't seem to apply to the non-arab muslim states) will not normalize formal relationships, without movement on the Palestinian front. However, despite this, these dynamics have made Arab countries much more susceptible to pressuring the Palestinians, and not putting diplomatic pressure on Israel on the things they care about (ie Operation Protective Edge).

An important point to note is that as all of the Arab countries becoming friendly to Israel are non-democratic, and their citizens don't view Israel along the same lines as their governments.
Totally, I like to think of them as this generations C64, though some might argue that the Arduino Uno or the Raspberry Pi deserve that title.
>I'm from Jamaica, and grew up eating lots of lychees as well. Never had any problems.

What the parent says is about people eating mostly or just lychees -- out of poverty etc. Not the general "I eat lots of X".
Of course you can be tried for you data. Letters, records, etc. have always been used.
If it were my site, I think I wouldn't even bother with the search: just stick it all on S3, and have one of those 'Google custom search' or similar boxes, so it's static as far as your site's concerned, and just redirects to Google with the `site:foo` filter.

I don't really have a handle on what S3 costs 'at scale', but I think I'm willing to bet it would knock at least the 0 off the end.
Chiming in from Bio: Yep, this is true here too.

I can't find the citations right now, but there was a recent study done through Elsiver's website. The group got a hold of the servers for Elsiver and took a look at page views. They wanted to know what the rates of papers being read was. It was... disheartening. They found that ~46% (again, not sure here as I can't find the source) of papers will never be looked at outside of the authors, reviewers, and the editors. The articles are not only never downloaded, but the pages are never even loaded. The stats were, to me, confusing, but hey that is what peer review is for. Still, if you take this paper (that I can't find now) to be true, ~half of all papers are effectively lecturing into the void. I admit, I drank a bit after reading that one.
So then maybe it would be cheaper for the company to hire a low-skilled American worker and actually gasps train them?

The CEO of the theoretical company is always welcome to put in an extra 30 hours a week and reap the extra economic value.
I would argue I am also talking about planning for the worst. Surviving while millions of people are exterminated around you is not an amazing, tremendous success.

It seems people think I was arguing that they should be eager to plug computers into their brains. I was not. I was arguing that hiding while injustices are carried out upon those around you is not success.
That's still part of the ISA right? And the 99% of silicon is not spent on those pain points you talk about. Architectural techniques are largely the same for high performance processors, be it ARM/PPC/x86. If you want high performance, you gotta put in the HW required. LSU, prediction, SMT hardware, branch prediction etc... The single thread speed has already been solved a long time ago. There's no point throwing away x86 in favor of a new ISA that has no guarantee of succeeding. In fact, having a new ISA that is incompatible with x86 will just be detrimental to intel/amd.
Quick win would be to put CloudFlare in front of it
That's not possible in the tech field because the tech field is very diverse. With the high immigrant %, most people do not fit in because there is no majority/in-group. The demographic is fragmented with the immigrant groups clustering by native language and country of origin. You end up with maybe 30-40% Americans in an engineering team.
I never include a standby switch if I build a tube head from scratch, but when I build out of a "donor amp"* that has one I keep it, because it's at least useful as a mute switch.

*Using a cheap tube amp from CL as the basis for a new build and tossing everything except the chassis and transformers, and maybe the sockets if they are chassis mounted, is a great way to build a great sounding tube amp on the cheap.

I think the windows 10 platform doesn't lend itself very well to 3rd party UIs. It's quite closely coupled to the actual OS.

In a sense though, this is what I consider to be the strength of the windows UI. With the tight coupling, you can make guarantees on the UI covering all possible configuration options. At the same time, it allows a fixed standard of how to implement configuration. (Some of this comes from windows being monolithic)

The end result is a 'unified' UI where there are user-friendly ways to configure a system. Most notably, it is a lot easier to 'explore' the configuration options of windows as opposed to any linux distro.

I'd love for a portfolio manager to chime in and comment on this.

BTC has often had uncorrelated or inversely-correlated behavior with regards to the market; Making it a very good component to manage risk in a portfolio.
The thing is that this is a problem caused by government regulations interfering with supply and demand. If there is a business that's willing to pay for a worker and worker willing to take the job then it should be good for the economy for that match to happen. However, in this case immigration regulations sometimes make the supply lower than the demand. Sure, that makes the price go up and that's good for workers but if there aren't enough workers to go around that's bad for American business.
