>Rather than trying to find a system that could be universalized, the (idiotic) plan has been to give millions of dollars to multiple corporations to develop systems, then subsidize the purchase cost to providers to encourage adoption. Then, only once everyone has invested in their own proprietary system will they begin trying to universalize the system by developing cross compatibility.

This is misinformation. Interoperability via HL7 messages has roots in the 80s. The subsidies encouraging provider adoption of EMRs during Obama's administration set constraints on qualifying EMRs including a certain level of support for interoperability. The government sensibly leveraged existing standards produced by those free market forces you decry.
Right. Surprisingly, the comment you're responding to resembles some of my clients. This is a business problem.

In this case it's not "save us a few grand" that they're asking for-- the real ask is "help us analyze and forecast our spend as we continue to grow." Identify the knobs and dials that impact infrastructure costs, devise a costing model that states "each additional user costs $X to service," identify what makes sense to arbitrage between AWS and other providers / on-prem...

If I'm being honest, "lower the bill" is where it starts, but not nearly where it ends. :-)
That's the problem. You should never be responsible to judge how he spends his money, that's his problem.

You never know. You don't know if it was only 10%, he could use those 40% much better than the "government", oh hell, be damn sure he would.

He could create companies, could fund companies, could put this money in funds, those funds would have to fund companies to earn money, these would generate jobs, education, etc.

People can care for their own needs, or team up to care for the needs of their community. There is still work to do. Some communities could become self reliant, also making use of technologies such as 3d-printing, automation and solar panels.

Getting one fact wrong doesn't make the story fake news. Most of it (and, most importantly, the actually important parts of it) are completely true.

>I'm not defending Trump...it's sadly a very common technique used by politicians. HRC at one point in her career...

Sure, you're defending him, by normalizing it through false moral equivalence. You can't say Trump has done anything wrong without invoking HRC, GWB, or someone else. That also happens to be a well-known Russian propaganda technique.

>So if you ignore Trump's rhetoric

Again, it has already gone beyond rhetoric, which I've noted exhaustively, including the RNC platform change. And, ignoring what he says is not wise in any case, as it sets the stage for policy. Further, contrary to what you state, he has not done "a 180 on so many other campaign promises".

>This is not the point of my comment... It's not clear Obama would do anything different than Trump

These two statements contradict, and the latter points back to your previous post that attempted to conflate Trump's position on Russia with Obama's. In fact, they couldn't be more different. Start with the biggest: sanctions.

>do not deserve to have the US launching missiles at them.

More propaganda in lock-stop with Russian fear-mongering. As if the choices are a.) defer to and appease Russia or b.) nuclear holocaust. And again, in your view, Russia never has responsibility in any of it. Invade countries, attack democratic processes, etc. And, the onus is on the U.S. to simply try to find some "trade equilibrium".

You should consider being more open about what you really believe. If you think you're in the right, then there's really no need to dissemble and hide. You just lose credibility. Just make your case in the open and people can process it on the merits. As it is, you repeatedly contradict yourself and morph positions, and much of what you write is demonstrably false.

So, feel free to continue solo with your walls of words.

A child-porn seller self-evidently deals in illegal material. What if they deal in other, non-child-porn material?

Cocaine? Ecstasy? Marijuana? Legal marijuana, in some jurisdictions? Fake/non-prescription Viagra? Hard-core/niche porn (e.g. watersports, which could be considered illegal in the UK [1], but is legal in a number of other countries)?

Is it justified, that everyone involved in non-child-porn (and potentially legal) purchases, is caught up in the same dragnet?

This is the inevitable result of overly-broad fishing expeditions.

The problem is that the grizzly bears are tracked with stoichastic methods. You have 14% reported? Great if you're tracking bear populations - multiply the total tracked by 100/14, and there's​ your total! But for humans, you need to track 100% of them, which is a much harder problem.

> It's no secret that the GOP generally dislikes spending on social programs, the environment, climate science, etc., and supports massive spending on defense.

It's no secret that they differ from Democrats, on average, in those directions. It's also not a secret that the GOP—including a large percentage of those currently serving on Congress whose election you are trying to use as evidence of support for the Trump budget—has has not generally sought the kind of spending choices in the Trump budget, even when they had unitary control of government under George W. Bush.

> Therefore, it's quite clear that the American people support a budget something like this

"Something like this" is a vague term that could apply to any budget. Given the wide range of issues in the elections involved, it's not clear that any coherent message on budget priorities can be drawn, but, even ignoring that, it's unreasonable to conclude that even viewing every Congressional seat's election as a budget referendum with no confounding issues would get support for a budget with the kind of extreme cuts in the Trump budget.

Yes, the direction of changes is what you'd expect from any Republican government. The direction isn't the thing that makes this budget noteworty, though.

Voting for dessert with dinner doesn't mean you support being forcefed a full-sheet cake. Radical differences of magnitude can't just be swept under the rug as irrelevant.
Just to add my $0.02, my impression is that while many EAs enjoy discussing the thorny philosophical issues like whether we should be concerned about insect-suffering, or wild-animal suffering, very few would advocate that we actually support habitat destruction or massive interventions in nature. Even groups like FRI, who are heavily focused on suffering, promote the idea of moral uncertainty. They believe that we should avoid drastic actions based on a narrow ethical view, due to uncertainty about which ethical views are more valid.

Like with everything, more controversial issues are more likely to be picked up by the media and blown out of proportion, relative to the actual level of support they receive. I would be extremely surprised if any money from the CEA Animal Welfare Fund went to support habitat destruction to reduce wild-animal suffering. I would be less surprised if money from the fund went to support research into animal consciousness, to help us better compare different types of animal welfare interventions.

Everything that's wrong with [] is wrong with [Char] and more so. In a Unicode world, it rarely makes sense to iterate over codepoints in a string, and it's rarely useful to prepend codepoints or drop codepoints at the beginning of a string. Usually an array-like string (e.g. Text) is better; occasionally something like Seq Char might be useful.

No, they didn't give any specific reasons, although I think he was thinking about the instability of the ship and lack of good enough precision landing (on the rocket-side) and station-keeping (on the ship side) as well as waves changing the angle and height of the ship.

I have a Home, and have bought three for family members. I find the random insertion of an irrelevant ad to be shocking because it is dumb and annoying. This is very early days, and I'm really surprised that Google, having been almost overly protective of monetization with Glass, and generally a company I've found making advertising better and more relevant, could misstep so badly as to shove irrelevant ads down the throats of paying customers.

As short sighted and incompetent as this ad is from a product management perspective, the glib, dishonest, and irrelevant p/r response is a whole 'nother realm of stupid. That hack should be fired immediately.

As @swiftonsecurity noted on twitter: "This is really just sad. There's a team of amazing engineers somewhere, watching their own leadership destroy collective dreams right now."

Your argument that rent won't rise to absorb most of any additional income relies on low-income people moving out of high demand areas to super-affordable "Google Homes" in remote ex-burbs and formerly rural towns. I think you're fighting history, culture and even human nature on this one.

If the Great Basic Income Migration doesn't occur, and if basic income is indexed to inflation, or worse, to a local 'cost of living', then you are deliberately engineering a hyper-inflationary spiral that will make Venezuela's seem tame by comparison.

I would've preferred it if AV1 was 2x better than HEVC, but I don't think even HEVC was 2x better than h.264. So if they can achieve at least 50% in all tests against HEVC, it may be a good enough improvement to the point where companies like Netflix, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter adopt it, as well as tv show and movie torrent uploads (which has its own impact on codec adoption). Plus, YouTube is a given, and it's nice to hear that even Apple may adopt it and that Apple is actually going back on promoting HEVC support.

Well, contemporary Fortran is probably part of Algol family too, since newer versions of Fortran (at least 77 onwards) incorporate the block structured programming concepts from Algol.

The "family tree" analogy works imperfectly for programming languages since it is more of a directed cyclic graph than a tree structure – Fortran influenced Algol and then Algol in turn influenced Fortran.

> I'm talking about a corporate decision to deliberately give customers an unsafe product because it saves money. Consider the Ford Pinto for a concrete example.

The problem with those decisions is that you can't get out of them. Killing them isn't your will. It's not the same thing.

Suppose you make cars. You know that 5% of your customers will get into a serious accident, and of that 5%, if you add $1000 to the cost of each car, you can save 1% of them. So $1000/car to save one in 2000 people; two million dollars per person. If you don't do it you know that you sell 60 million cars and so 30,000 people will die. Do you do it? What if it costs $10,000/car? $50,000/car?

At some point you have to say no or a car would cost thirty trillion dollars. And if some company decides that a human life is worth 1.5 million dollars but you later decide that it should be worth 2.1 million dollars, is that really the level of mistake that deserves execution?

All you really have to do is let them know ahead of time how much money it will actually cost them in jury awards, and let the victims sue the coal companies. If you set the value right they'll either figure out how to kill fewer people, or shut down operations.

The analytic scenarios like that have never been the problem because if the company is already doing the math and you don't like the outcome then all you have to do is change the numbers. The problem has always been what to do about businesses that kill people without expecting to.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Personally I would be willing to work with a couple of other volunteers as long as we were able to get along.
Excellent idea, going to use it :)

For benefit of others - this approach would work with the 'set -o vi' option too (discussed by me and others elsewhere in this thread) - just that you would have to type a / (slash) to search instead of C-r (Ctrl-r), because the mode is vi, not emacs. And since you start (obviously) at the bottom of the history (i.e. latest command first), the usual sense of the vi / command (which means search forward or down in the edited file) is reversed here to mean search backward in the history of commands. And ? is the opposite of / . N and n work, too, to repeat the previous search command in the opposite / same direction.
I think you can do that in a merge commit, sort of.

The more I think about it, the stranger a strong aversion to rewriting commit history for clarity is. In university if I did some math / physics calculation, I would often start, and once I got somewhere, make a clean copy of the successful work to have a concise and revised version.

Totally agree with you. Right now, half the time and money that I invest in repairing the 100 year old house I'm living in is wasted due to poor quality workers. If the workers were higher quality, I'd probably spend more money not less (especially calculating in the fact that getting the reconstruction done faster could mean more rental income thus more money to spend). The same is with advertising.
I tried this once to automate a several part procedure. After spending a couple evenings, I decided it is hopeless. make is coupled tightly to building projects, shoehorning non-build workflows into a makefile is both awkward and incomprehensible to colleagues.
Quote: “In the low-power regime, the way these power converters work, it’s not based on a continuous flow of energy,” Paidimarri says. “It’s based on these packets of energy. You have these switches, and an inductor, and a capacitor in the power converter, and you basically turn on and off these switches.”

To me that's a failed attempt to create a layperson-accessible explanation. In my NASA Space Shuttle work in decades past I also created efficient power supplies and I used similar methods -- but I think I can explain it more effectively.

The trick to making a modern power supply efficient is to control the phase relationship between voltage and current. This is normally performed in reactive elements like an inductor, a capacitor, or both.

Put another way, instead of changing a voltage level with a resistance (which would waste power), you need only manipulate a reactive element so the phase angle between voltage and current is something other than zero degrees. For example, at a phase angle of 90 degrees, you can have substantial voltage as well as current, but no power dissipation (except where it's needed).

That's the secret to power supply efficiency -- change the voltage without using any power-dissipating elements.
