"Pervasive" sounds like an overstatement. Most conditions don't have waiting lists. But a few do.

In the medical field, I don't think it's possible to give people everything they want, because some people want everything done to keep them alive but some treatments are horrendously expensive. Any funding system is therefore going to have some sort of shortfall; someone isn't going to get everything they want. The best that can realistically be done is to ensure that the shortfalls between want and get are never too severe, and are generally distributed in some fair and sensible way. As far as I can tell, the Canadian system meets those criteria.

To be clear, I do think the Canadian system could be improved. To give just one example, I think it should be legal to pay for your own medical procedures out of pocket. If you have the funds to pay the full freight, who are we to stop you? But that would mean a two-tier system, one for the rich and one for the rest of us, which is currently politically unacceptable in Canada.

Communications expert explains how science should respond to fake news
There's been a fork in CPU design goals. Before, the fastest chip was the goal. Now, we have fast single-threaded vs high parallel throughput - and while there's a spectrum between them, the extremes matter, it's not a case of a Goldilocks solution.

Consumer loads are mostly limited by single threaded performance, though software is increasingly written for more cores. Best choice for a consumer used to be dual core, now it's probably quad core with thermal limited boosting on less parallel workloads.

It's only prosumers doing lots of transcoding or rendering, or CPU intensive VMs, that typically benefit from increasing cores above 4.

Whereas the server space prizes throughput and much of its workload is trivially parallelizable. On the server, higher single core speed mostly just decreases latency for small tasks; if you're happy with the latency, you can get more cores working on shared memory and potentially get big wins in perf.

There are diminishing returns though, scaling up boxes is expensive and unless it's being forced by software licensing or architectural models, things like Hadoop and Spark for spreading the load across a whole cluster are increasingly attractive. This helps solve the I/O throughput problem too.

Do you mean cross-platform desktop apps base on Electron for example? Currently the terminate points are PhantomJS or Firefox and I haven't tested that use case.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tebelorg/TA.Gui/master/src...

For raw desktop apps, might be able to work some integration out with projects such as RobotJS or pywinauto. Regardless, feel free to reach me at support@tebel.org or the repo issues page.
Except AMD's CMT implementation blows Intel's outta the water.

If intel needs 20% more cores to match the MT perf on the high end then it really isn't an advantage.

What you are saying is erroneous. It is not in agreement with the facts.

You can not ignore that the Washington Post specifically said, as the headline:
>Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say

They published this in their news section. Not their op-eds.

ProOrNot was the source this article used to substantiate the central premise of this article that subversive, clandestine Russian Propaganda was spreading into the US.

They've since tried to walk away from this claim without admitting to the journalistic garbage that it is.

Think about the problems in your neighborhood and try to imagine creative solutions to them that you can implement with your skillset. It doesn't need to be a global problem to be worthwhile solving - sometimes helping our just a handful of people can feel extremely worthwhile.

This is how I got involved with a personal project. A few years ago I had trouble finding a listing of all Karate dojos in my vicinity. I compiled a list of such dojos in Excel, and later decided to put them online [0]. By putting this dataset online, and maintaining it up to date I am helping other people who are looking for a new place to train a sport.

This project not only helps the community (who can now easily find karate and other sports clubs easily through the project website) but also helped me learn new technologies and practice skill that I don't excel at, like design, writing, marketing, etc. Just yesterday I took the project to the next level and started doing same simple data analysis of the dataset [1].

While the project may not have a very large impact on the community, it does sufficiently so to feel worthwhile. Moreover, being able to play with different skills in a low stress environment makes is very enjoyable.

The 65W versions should be trivial to cool silently, a $40 heatsink with a single low speed 12cm fan (500~600 rpm) does the job well with my CPUs.

For a 95W TDP you might need to spend a little more (like on those big Noctua heatsinks with 14cm fans), but silent air-cooling is definitely possible. (Water is always trickier, AIO kits will typically be a little noisier due to the pump).
Stop Trump – Renaissance
Hm, wished we also jumped from 2 to 4 cores on U processors. Then we we should have finally a big jump for consumer notebooks. My U Core i7 from 2013 is still one of the better ones in 2017 when looking at raw CPU benchmarks which makes me think: What happened the last 4 years? 16% increasement only when comparing to top i7 U processors from 2017?!
This EXTREMELY reduces the probability that a bit flips happens. And consumer PCs (or mobile devices) are the only devices where there is no ECC memory, RAM is the only place in such devices where there is no error detection and/or correction.
Very nicely done, I do a clean install every point release of macOS so having automation such as this has been crucial.

> It's a bigger premium to go from an i7 to Xeon than to equip the Xeon with ECC RAM.

Not exactly. The prices between comparable i7 to Xeon are nearly the same.
This rather sounds like you don't have the time to not do it.

Imagine using the time that spent on "re"-visiting "re"-opened bugs that are vague enough to be argued about on writing code that doesn't need these "re"s in the first place.

I contend that that might be a difficult place to get to especially because it's a team effort as well, but I feel it's more productive and less stressful to work like that.

Since the first post was moderated, I would be naive to mention that Democracy as a government by, of, for the people, every kind of people have the right to vote or stand for elections. A certain type of a leadership might be detrimental to a certain class of people. And it is a world of make belief.. believe that, basement residing kids are not robbing the town by sitting at their machines. Believe that, elections & politics are reinforcements of a culture which worship power & considers that not observing these rituals would cause harm in the long run.
Would have been an interesting validation to put the i7-2700K in there. It was nearer the 8350 and would have provided a good baseline to see that the benchmark is actually useful. As it stands, I'm a little sceptical (but also very hopeful, since I'm buying desktop hardware soon).

My sister-in-law got us tickets to go see him about 10 years ago. I went, thinking that the "concert" was just going to be him dancing around and goofing off to pre-recorded music and things like that. WOW, was I blown out of the water.

He has one of the tightest bands I've ever heard. I mean, they played live and hit everything almost perfectly. I later find out he's been touring with the same people for decades, and they are at the top of their game musically. I went in being a fan of his music, but came out with so much respect for him as just a shear musician.
The media exists so that the narrative can be owned, manipulated and put towards furthering a greater goal. There is no other reason why anyone would bother to take the time and invest the resources necessary to disseminate information on such a wide scale. All news is fake. It's purely a matter of degrees.
That's a problem, not a manifesto to continue to live with it... And if the prices difference are large, they are largely artificial. That means if ECC is more widely uses, prices difference will decrease to reasonable levels (at the marginal level, price of RAM with ECC should be ~= 9/8 price of RAM without ECC, and the price of supporting platforms should be only very slightly higher than the price of non-supporting platforms)

I too had a sleep issue. Exercise, food, hydration & darkness is vital.

Just a brisk 30 mins walk will be fine. Have food 3-4 hrs before sleep. Don't overdo the water, but you should be hydrated. My bedroom is near a street light, so, I started to close the curtain & put sheet over it just to ensure the room is very dark.

All these helped me to get over my sleep issues.
The UK has a bunch of open data sets.

You could find one that interests you and wrangle the data into something useful for the public.

I'd be interested to see some of these sets combined. For one example, the Office for National Statistics releases information about death by suicide, and the NHS releases prescribing data. (Also available on the excellent openprescribing.net site)

I'd like to see something that combines the two. Maybe a map of deaths by overdose and by prescribing of the top 5 meds used.

This work could help reduce death by suicide which is a significant cause of preventable death, and attempted suicide which is a significant cause of avoidable harm. (Sadly we can't just say "reducing human suffering is the right thing to do", we have to say "it's the cost effective thing to do".

Media - "Muslim ban"

Reality - "90 day travel suspension from 7 countries"

As someone who did not vote for Trump I can detect an ovious bias on just how that one story alone was covered. I could spend days going over every way the media speaks incorrectly\lies about things.

What I find most sad is often "intelligent" people will buy into the bias because they take a political side instead of sticking to the truth.

You should start off by limiting yourself because it's easy to get in over your head once you start down the path of unpaid work. I volunteer 20% of my time (one day a week) to non-profits so they know what they're getting.

Most of the jobs I got at first were through volunteering in other ways. I was a driver at a summer camp for underprivileged kids when I found that they needed a registration system they couldn't afford. And an animal shelter where I used to walk dogs had a little gift shop that sold handmade items so I set up an online store and their revenue went up 800%. Little projects like that can make a huge impact with little effort.

Then I blogged about the projects and now I regularly get requests through that. There are a lot of NGOs searching online for people like you so all you need to do is make yourself visible.

Those of us in the game for some time ultimately read "beta" to mean "30% chance of survival" so this doesn't come as a surprise but it probably isn't true for our more optimistic colleagues.

I don't think anyone is fooled there, though. If you list the countries and you listened to his campaign speeches you know what he's going for.

No one is going to have a different position if you do that.

EDIT: In case, it wasn't clear, I mean that his opponents will see it as a Muslim ban and dislike him for it and his fans will see it as such and like him for it. He ran on that platform. There's nothing disingenuous here.

You are making it complicated again. The system and representation of the system is a wrapper. It's a construction of a mind wanting to make sense of things, categorize and organize. "I am" is much more basic than that. It's the the concept of being and be aware of it. It does not include description, representation, comparison or context.

There is even the possibility that "I am" can exist without a mind. We can't prove it though, since proving requires a mind.
I am too long in IT to imagine anything like that.

> Anybody doing anything with more than 16GB, especially data science (think all the R and Python people, all scientists)

Not sure I agree. Most science datasets (both from simulations and experiments) are sufficiently noisy that if your scientific end results and conclusions change as a result of even thousands of bitflips in your 16 GB of data, you're Doing It Wrong and your article isn't worth the paper it's printed on. (There are probably exceptions, as always, but those working in those few specific subfields should be aware of it.)
There is no fooling needed. Report exactly what it is, then you can report exactly what Trump said in present or past. Its not medias job to create a "Muslim ban". Anyone who is honest at all will tell you there is no Muslim ban.

The media does no one any favors by just making things up.
> Tastes kinda gross though (but I might be biased)

For context: according to Wikipedia the yolk contains hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Hydrogen sulfide produces a distinct "rotten egg" smell, ammonia is basically what makes cat urine smell like cat urine.

I guess it might be an acquired taste and there are likely preparations that make the taste more palatable and mask the smell, but it's fair to say that it's not much of a bias to find century eggs repulsive if you're used to less pungent edibles.

What Is the Job for That Data Analyst Are Hired in Remote SaaS Companies?
I have following query regarding Data Analyst Roles at SaaS Companies. If you could answer those at your convenience it will be really great for me.

- What are the jobs for that a Data Analyst is hired for i.e. what is their day to day job responsibility?
- What are the core skill sets i.e. ability you are looking for when hiring for DA, I know Python, SQL would be a good skill set but it would be
great if you could elaborate a little bit on the skill spectrum and how do you measure skill levels.
- What kind of portfolio or example of work you are looking for in an entry level Data Analyst position i.e. Could be a GitHub project or
anything else, but could you please share a little bit about one or two problems that you are looking forward to solve or have already solved.
And
-Finally is there any opportunity to work as an apprentice for free or minimal pay for someone looking forward to build career as a Data Analyst
at Remote SaaS Companies. I have been looking forward to build a portfolio for DA roles in a remote company for quite a long time but unfortunately
still now I haven’t got that much far. Looking forward for your contributions
