There was widespread voter suppression (the NC GOP bragged about it). Also the right wing media (radio, Fox News, Breitbart) lies blatantly. And the GOP donor class (the rich and corporations) have generously funded promoting their agenda (cut taxes on the rich) including through ALEC and the State Policy Network.

Despite all the lies and money, the current administration lost the popular vote and more people voted for Democratic than Republican senators.

America is a left-liberal nation that has been taken over by the agenda of the very wealthy through dirty electoral tricks.

The balance will swing back to caring about people eventually.
You're absolutely right: some exchanges are systematically divergent. It has been the case with BTC-e for a long time. This is not natively handled by the software.

The long/short mechanism overcomes the market risk (i.e. risk of losing money due to market moves) and reduces the slippage risk, but not the other risks, like technical issues on an exchange.
Make doesn't force an incremental rebuild, but that is what it is for. It lets us write a set of rules, which are evaluated as one big whole to determine the minimal set of actions that has to be taken to bring every implicated target up to date. That is pretty much the definition of "incremental rebuild".

If a program is made of libraries, such that when we change a single source file, the entire library which contains the .o has to be re-archived, and then the entire program made up of all those libraries has to be re-linked, that is still an "incremental build".

You might possibly be mixing up "incremental link" (optimized way to just update a function or object file in a previously linked program image) with "incremental build" (compiling only parts of a program in response to a small change).
Actually this is huge. And sadly very underrated, hope this will get more spread across the world news agencies and developing countries will use this software for government clinics.

Something like that I take it? :)
The Internet reduces the entry barrier for publishing, and that is a twofold sword.

It helps content creators to disseminate their content, but increases the variance of content quality.
Umm... i take issue with the comment "distribution is essentially free". nonononnononooooo. Other than the rare case of virality, I'd like to know in what software industry where distribution is essentially free - i'm happy to be wrong about this, let me know.

the rest of the article was fine.

This is great, I echo what others have said about getting the code. I would definitely pay for this.

One thing though, I've been clicking back and forth between this thread and the site and everytime I do I have to go through that animista loading image again. Got kind of annoying after a couple times. Maybe do something else, or just make it so it appears only the first time or something?
If this is generalizable, and it looks like it is, it would be pretty smart to spin this out as a new company, make Airbnb the company's first customer, and go after Oracle's financial products.

(Disclosure: I used to work at Oracle on Financials Cloud.)
This is correct. That's why I specified market risk. Of course not all the risks are overcome.
Or the reverse, someone wants a report from some database in some specific format for whatever reason. It's often easier to do a simply query and vim the output rather than use the string functions of the DB.

Are there any communities that offer what i'm looking for?
Sorry for the late reply. Didn't check comments.

Some of the old ones are Humira and Enbrel, which have been out for quite a while (since 2000's). The newer ones are Cosentyx and Taltz, which has a higher cure rate. There are dozen of others that I don't remember. Just search for biologic for autoiummue. More drug companies are in the process of getting more drugs approved.

Rebuild times pretty much forced me out of Raid5 and into a Raid10 after I encountered a secondary drive failure during rebuild. Luckily it was my raid controller pre-flagging questionable sectors that weren't actually reallocated so I was able to recover but now I always like to keep 2 independent backups. I use SFP-10gb links between computers to move files and even that is painfully slow transferring terabytes. You're right, The cloud is in many ways less practical until the bandwidth is available to access it all.

Indeed rent can gobble up the gains. Look at how it has gobbled up the gains in the SF Bay Area.
I think people often underestimate the power of much simpler methods. You'd probably get substantial improvements over the baseline just by penalizing sites for having the same words too many times. I forget the exact number, but I think it's something like 50% of the words in your average article appear only once. So if two articles have even 5% similarity among the words they only use once, they are probably quite similar.

AI of course can get you much farther still, but you definitely don't need something that powerful for a convincing upgrade from baseline.
Of course, because how do you scale up when you're building everything yourself? Suddenly you have to hire a whole bunch of hardware guys, storage guys, db guys etc, etc.
Yeah I don't understand -- if it works well wouldn't it be better to keep it to yourself?
By the way, the spring Trinity test site open house is coming up on the first of April. You can only visit two days a year (1 April and 1 October). It's a really good trip.

Here's the web site all about the site (note: this site may be inaccessible from outside the USA): http://www.wsmr.army.mil/PAO/Trinity/Pages/Home.aspx . The national parks service has a page too -- I guess it's a national park encapsulated within a classified military base?
Basic Income is a completely broken mental model. Some reasons:

1) Inflation.

The minute that $1000 hits your bank account, it will be worth less than you think. Every social services program struggles with this fact.

http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2015/09/it-was-obsol...

2. Human Nature.

Everyone who writes these articles assumes that people are inherently good and would make better decisions if freed from the evils of needing to earn a paycheck. History tells us otherwise.

http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2016/10/ancient-wisd...

3. History tells us this does not work.

We have tried some version of this before. It works fine at the "testing" stage where some small-ish group of committed, idealistic people come together and decide to share and share alike. The minute it is opened up to the general public and ALL people, no matter how badly they behave, are ENTITLED to their share, it falls apart.

Ha. I just came here to edit my comment. I remember seeing it before and just checked the docs again. In 5.2 it's STILL considered experiential. Craziness. It took me about an hour to build The basic functionality myself.
I know. I'm pointing out that seemingly profitable arbitrage opportunities carry very significant risks besides market risk.
Yeah, but I can't take my data from Epic and move it all into Cerner via HL7, no matter what.

What we need are government standards for data at rest, similar to DICOM, for other data - and tied to Medicare reimbursement. Literally some functionary at CMS could write that rule and patients would be better off.
The network as I understand will automatically throttle and flag you if you are firing too many RPS. If you are hitting a particular domain over and over especially. So it's not possible to take down websites with TOR unless it's running on Dreamhost's shared hosting plan with a PHP solution.

This is why I find OP's story hard to believe, it doesn't add up.
With Windows 10, you have no option to avoid updates. With older versions, you might not be able to get them, even if there is nothing CPU or hardware specific about the issue.

Microsoft: turning software updates into a weapon.
Is this a joke? I sincerely hope you understand that incognito mode will not help in this case.
That was my immediate thought upon reading.
A little more accuracy in the description would be helpful.
This should be presented as: "If this aggregated data reflected a constant across time, then we can see where language usage would end up in the 'long run distribution'."
But the jump matrix shown here will change with time. Most likely, if search results could be binned up by time period, the time dependence of the distribution represented by the eigenvector(s) would be somewhat interesting to watch, even if not remotely predictive. Could animate that or contour plot it.... exercise for the author... :)
It seems to me that they may be trying too hard to intuit the quality of a thread based on behaviors which don't explicitly indicate it. I think that the only behaviors that should push a thread down are downvotes and flags, not upvoting and/or commenting in the wrong order, or only doing one but not the other.
They're saying if you need more reliability than a service provides, but choose the cheap option with too low(or no) SLA, then you screwed up.

As a former POS engineer, this has been my gripe about these services from the get-go. Real payment processors, and POS software/SaaS vendors you... pay for guarantees about stuff like this, and have clear workarounds. Does it screw up sometimes? Yea. But you don't get opaque downtime like this, and you were given a clear workaround(and ALWAYS a clear offline mode you wont get locked out of flipping on, like the case here) in the first place.

This is a failure both on the customers side, and on squares side. They basically scaled a pickup truck up to a delivery truck without considering why a delivery truck was designed differently in the first place, at least in some ways.
Why do you need more than 80g per day? What's the basis of this estimate?
Small, incremental commits are an asset with git blame, git bisect and git revert. I find it much easier to deal with too many small ones, rather than too few large ones. Especially if you keep the convention that master is always "merged into", i.e. "left of the merge", i.e. "parent 1".
And if their brand is "confusing and hard to use" or worse, "glitchy" then I guess making their own scroll bars is appropriate.

Back when splash pages were popular I pretty much closed any tab that presented a splash page -- life is too short. Likewise whizzy Flash sites. What I miss about Flash is that it was an excellent bozo avoidance system.

Its been a rough few months. I thought I had done significant due diligence last year. I read lots of docs, we wrote a bunch of test code and released test fileshare accounts to staff, had around 8 months of trial usage internally before cutting over.

Nothing prepared me for the reality of production.

Google Docs is doing well. Its Drive that seems not "ready for business". And Google's tech support is very coy. That don't acknowledge these problems when I get them on the phone.
multiple cursors: is nothing compared to the confirm flag in `:%s/foo/bar/gc` + columnar editing in conjunction w/ something like tabularize

intelligent refactoring: is extremely unlikely to happen soon

customizble search directories: is way more flexible in a terminal than anything i've ever seen an IDE guru do. it's not vim though. it's vim + shell.

integrated terminal: you're already in the terminal, using tmux doubles down on the benefit

vim has way more flexible buffer pane layouts + tabs + sessions (IDE's also have sessions, but vim can do multiple sessions for a project). i've never seen an IDE with anything like the jump stack, marks, multiple yank registers, the flexibility of macros, or anything like `:r !$COMMAND` or for that matter `:w !$COMMAND`. basically no IDE has anything which matches vim's `NormalMode`. type aware code completion and syntax checking is available depending on the language.

these things aren't free though. you have to invest before they pay out.

What can they fit in a 5.25" enclosure?

I always wished a 5.25 mass storage HDD would come back on the market. How much would those hold relative to this?

Hm, I'm guessing about 2.5x more data per platter, about 50% more platters... 45GB?
Yuval Harari makes a good point: when it's said that "we" should "all" have a "universal" basic income, aren't people actually talking about a national basic income? Is the US or Norway going to provide a basic income to people in Bangladesh? Or Iraq?

Harari discusses this in his book "Homo Deus". You can also see him discuss it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=szt7f5NmE9E
Depends a lot on the work that you have to do I guess. I can spend a lot of time on remote systems, so learning a powerful editor that I can rely on to be there was useful. And all linuxes usually have vi or vim.

But if you don't do that sort of thing, there are plenty of other tools that you can use. Most are probably far easier than learn vi.

But I like using command line tools where possible. Most are available everywhere and they are incredibly powerful once you learn parts of them.

Are these developers? Business people? I'm curious because we've been searching for a tool like this for a while but ultimately management thought it was a bad idea to rely on scraping, there's simply no replacement for a REST api.
> As far as I can tell, there's no economic incentive for health care systems to undergo these transformations willingly

Yes. Thing is, say you have shitty software and see 20 patients in one day. Say you have fantastic software - you'll probably still only see 20 patients a day. The cost of upgrading is usually not justified if it doesn't hit the bottom line.

I'm trying to tackle this by making a system where improving it isn't a huge risk, or cost. For example, it has an extensible user interface - imagine something like atom text editor, or even browser extensions. Say you look at the immunization screen all day, and hate it. Find / build a small extension to arange it how you want, without changing any of the back-end system, and then share it to a registry for other people in your situation. Easy win.

I'm actually designing this system within the context of primary care in New Zealand. We have a socialized healthcare system, which is honestly very effective. Everybody pays for it via tax, and resources are evenly distributed. We even bulk purchase generic drugs for the entire country.

There isn't so much of an evil incentive to ensure all their 'customers' stay sick, but instead funding is a bit hard to come by. Funding happens regionally, and building national healthcare software systems is a huge task nobody but the government is willing to try. The market is so small (population of 4mill) that vendors can usually make more money elsewhere - so getting NZ tailored solutions is rare.

This is why I think the opportunity is in making a crowdsourced system, as opposed to a 'product' to sell.

Well, personally I would just use a shell/python script to do the same. I dont see the point of learning an arcane language for something any language can do easily.
> interesting topic modeling results on non-news data.

this is easy enough to do, I'm wondering what exactly is your definition of "interesting" ?
How many downvotes did you get? A few may have just been because your response is vague and doesn't say much for the question. But that doesn't mean a downvote should occur, of course.

Otherwise complaining about downvotes is no good either. Some will downvote because of that.
I believe you may have some fatal unstated assumptions in there.

The co-op concept doesn't require equal distribution of proceeds to participants. Nor does it require that the net distribution of proceeds equal the total value per user. Nor is incentivizing value creation on your platform a zero-sum game between facebook and content creators.
The main issue with commits is that they end up representing more than a single logical change.

Are there any tools that allow you to initiate a commit as an 'intention stack' for work I am about to do, rather than work I have already done?

I'd love to be able to write an intent message "refactor XYZ.." before starting in on that activity, then when I have to go down another rabbit hole in the middle I push another intent message to the stack, then pop back out afterward and continue with XYZ. The final overall commit message could be auto generated from the initial intention and all tangents.
> Literary magazine sales are non-existent.

"To every age its art", as they wrote on some building in Vienna in the early 1900s. That is to say that maybe the literature represented by novels (and the associated ecosystem, like literary magazines) is behind us, there's nothing wrong with other art forms (video games, memes, twitter messages, social media posts, vlogs) taking its place. The same as classical music is almost dead, the art of painting is being confined to museums, cinema as we used to know it having been replaced by comics-related marketing materials and some made-for-fancy-festivals movies that nobody watches (thank God for TV series that have replaced what cinema used to be) etc etc.
I'm sure I'll enjoy this as much as I enjoy the autoplay previews they won't let us disable.
Git has zero opinion on when you commit or what the messages are. Commits are made in private. Commits are also immutable. This is a losing battle.

If you use a code management tool like BitBucket or GitHub, it seems like the unit of work is less a commit and more a PR. A PR's description can always be edited and refined for future engineers, and a PR (almost) always represents a block of work that can be reverted. Instead of creating a hundred different approaches to writing commits that engineers essentially have to get right the first time, why not just focus on documentation in the form of PR's? It seems like if you could trivially tie a commit back to the PR and ticket it came from, most of these problems would be solved.
Are the price differences between markets already arbitraged to the point of maximum profitability?

(which wouldn't be 100% due to eg exchange failure risk, transaction fees, risk of getting hacked while currency is in play, etc)

The Chinese miners keep their nodes outside of China, actually. And I believe many of them have non-internet relays (think point to point wifi, satellite, etc.) for communicating with their nodes if China shuts down the internet.

Further, even without these protections there is enough hashrate outside of China that the blockchain would not grind to a halt, you'd still get blocks every 30 minutes or so.

China shutting down miners has been a topic of heavy discussion for a while, and most I think are not concerned.
Larry Page doesn't care, but it does keep Sergey up at night.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious. That's not what I asked, I asked whether can you compile javascript to WebAssembly, without having to parse javascript source files on the fly and expose source code to the javascript engine, but instead provide just the WebAssembly output directly.
Foucault has a lot of important insights. My problem with him is he seems to have no real idea of how things could ever be better, and hence no way to choose between the various available overall options. Society is just oppressive power, and the only course of action seems to just be endless vigilance and resistance.
Yes, the graduate school paper exam of Todai is not difficult compared to the undergraduate entrance exam for that age. The graduate one only requires the very basics to do research. Requirements are different.
Just do it. shrugs

The biggest thing would be to shift from future mentality to now mentality. Be interested in the process, not the results. When you visualize or anticipate the results, it robs required energy from the present to perform the action that leads to those results...

Basically you've got to rewire yourself to derive satisfaction from doing, not resting in anticipation of a future outlook. A future which never actually matches the visualization exactly, because if it did, you'd be a gotdamn oracle.
Yeah, but that's just you. There were 200+ million TVs sold each year from 2011-2015.

I have done countless LDA on tweets and it worked great.

here is an example of taking tweets that have 'diabetes' and correlating topics with counties.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/karl-dailey-02557b65/treasury/po...

The original topics were actually better, but I was asked to adjust the language to wipe out common language across all tweets. You can still see interesting things going on though. North East: Charity, Hospitals, Research. South: Koolaid, sweat tea. etc.

I had also done topic modeling on customer surveys for Comcast (I cant show them), but the topics identified 3 key features that lead to low customer satisfaction.

I have also used LDA on grocery purchases (for mere fun), and it worked out really great as well.

Anyone who defends "basic income" needs basic understanding in economics, which I think is much more valuable thing to have than basic income.

You can't eat money. Money is just a facilitator for complicated bartering. If everyone in the world was given a millon dollars in cash by some aliens, since the things we actually want to barter would not change in any way, that would serve no purpose. Prices would adjust up and everything would stay the same. Noone would be able to afford more than they already did.
