Here is another article about the same event (in german) that has an aerial view supposedly showing the distribution of the craters over one of the islands:

http://www.spektrum.de/news/7000-gasblasen-woelben-sich-in-s...

(The craters filled with water, hence the dark color. The picture doesn't say anything about the craters' depth)

I don't know about the source though, so I guess it should be taken with a grain of salt.

The CIA gini coefficient is slightly higher for the US, a few percentage points, while the World Bank Gini coefficient is slightly higher for China. Your conjecture about the starker divide between rich and poor in US cities is just that, conjecture. I could guess the same about Chinese cities.

So we have no evidence yet that China has less income inequality than the US. Which makes it a very unconvincing reason for differences in crime.

Chicago's the primary water connection between the Great Lakes (which communicate with the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers) and the Mississippi River; that's the historic origin of its central role in commodities trading.

Oh yeah, we looked into the open-source ones. The main problems there were irregular sampling and software that will make you sweat before you get your first reliable measurement. So we wanted to create something that will be extremely easy to use and will reliably work out-of-the-box.
Highly oppose the recommendation of create-react-app for first-comers. You're much better of learning one thing at a time. Like you said: Javascript -> React -> ES6 -> State management.

create-react-app throws a ridiculous amount of crap in your face that you might end up not liking anyhow. If anything should overwhelm you then that project is it.

We have two working students at our company that were told to start their projects with CRA and they were clueless after two months. Learn one thing at a time.
Agreed... And its not just war but all the stuff that has proven to be bad for your health like tobacco, liquor, sugar etc is available for people to use at their own discretion, why not something that might actually help in the long run.
It's absolutely fine to give extra advantages to people with low incomes. That's economic progressivism.

It's wrong to give extra advantages based on genetics, essentially saying that some people "genetically poor" or "genetically rich", which is what Affirmative Action does.
This simple pass/fail measurement really has to go. Bills can contain way, way, way too much stuff and cause way too much damage to be simply accepted as all or nothing.

What if bills could only implement 100% of what they say after receiving 100% of the vote? And if a bill splits 50/50 (as this one roughly did), the rule could be: tough, now you may only implement 50% of what you asked for; what will that 50% be?

It should be obvious by now that the political party system tends to produce results that consider approximately 2 viewpoints instead of those of 100 senators or a million constituents. And it should be equally obvious that the election of representatives pretty much hands four years worth of arbitrary bills to the majority, counter-arguments be damned apparently.

As an Ancient Developer I see the problem with Javascript as not being the language, but the ecosystem.

1. Async programming. Async programming is hands down the aspect of programming that college students do the worst on. As a TA at Berkeley I can say it was one of the hardest aspects of programming for students to do well in and yet Javascript starts with an total async model.

2. No testing. Some of this has to do with Javascript starting life as web browser only. Some of this has to do with writing test code for async programming. How does one write async test code? Very, very carefully.

3. Not invented here. Javascript is not a young language. It has been around more than 10 years and yet Javascript has the same chaotic ecosystem as a first year language. That's a permanent mind set, or ecosystem.

The natural conclusion of this kind of ecosystem is to eventually suggest developers just run in kernel mode and bypass user space altogether. Asynchronous code such as database pooling is hard to get correct. This why an app server has financial value: pay for the hard stuff. And, get this, the hard stuff can be abstracted away.. Same with distributed clustering. Because these kinds of difficult async services can be black box abstracted then we have a kernel, an OS and user space. Javascript challenges that notion, and all the experience and the history of why we have kernels to begin with. Javascript is asking developers to in effect become kernel developers, without doing testing , and with in ever changing 'not invented here' chaotic code base.

Does not bode well. Has nothing to do with language though.

Sure, an FPGA does the job faster, but how popular are the FPGA boards compared to something like STM32 Nucleo? What we are trying to achieve is make a software logic analyzer that will work on top of the hardware that everyone has for prototyping anyway. 8 boards is just the beginning...

And yes, USB3.0 Cypress FX3 is in our short list.
I agree with you. I also think that the current balance of pharmaceutical regulation and ways to circumvent it is pretty good. I wouldn't want anyone to be able to hawk novel drugs to the general public without full FDA approved clinical testing. But if there is a self-selected population of risk-tolerant, educated, affluent people who want to experiment on themselves using concepts from scientific papers and manufacturing from contract labs... I wish them all the best of luck, and I look forward to any exceptional results (beneficial or harmful).

Maybe so, but I'm sure that good guesses are possible. Basically, further from the equator, away from oceans, and higher altitude. And away from large cities. I wonder about some of those "useless" Chinese cities, for example.
That's interesting. They must, overall, not be getting many complaints then? Or is $1,000 less than what any lawyer to represent them would've cost them?
I used to work for Landstar[0], which operates in a very similar way to Uber, but in the trucking industry. The company has been around for almost 30 years and the drivers are considered Owner-Operators[1] (i.e. contractors). I was under the impression that an Uber driver could choose not to take any given fare(just like our truckers could). There seems to be some irrationality when it comes to Uber among my fellow engineers, and I can't figure out why.

[To be clear: I've never used Uber nor would I generally consider it over my local 'trolley' in the ~35K population town in which I live.]

That is a very fair point, but I think WikiLeaks actually misunderstood that. I assume you are referencing this:

> Also included in this release is the manual for the CIA's "NightSkies 1.2" a "beacon/loader/implant tool" for the Apple iPhone. Noteworthy is that NightSkies had reached 1.2 by 2008, and is expressly designed to be physically installed onto factory fresh iPhones. i.e the CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.

It seems that WikiLeaks has misunderstood the meaning of "factory fresh" in the manual. This simply means it is a new device. If you look at all the source documents, it appears that NightSkies was built under the user requirement that a CIA agent is in a position to gift a device to their target, pre-infected. Regardless of how one might feel about that practice, I think it is a big difference with regards to the "supply chain" phrasing because they mistakenly indicate that the infection would literally occur at the factory, and that is definitely not indicated in any of the documents.
>blindly trusting "the data"

This phrase is not coherent.

Doing something blindly would literally be to do something without data.

Exactly: Having a developer working on windows was a blessing since it allowed someone in the team to test on EI11 before we shipped to the product team, and it really improved our reactivity on this plateform. It wasn't our main target since our product was using webRtc(i.e. Firefox and Chrome), but it was supposed to fail gracefully on IE.
I think that capital aggregates in trade centres, where materials can be exchanged and deals can be made extremely swiftly. People closer to the trade can get information more quickly, and quickly react to it too.

Individual capital is very liquid, but the herd is not. Consider San Francisco: it has capital because of tech, because of the need for electronics & power for running a port, because of the trade in the Bay, because of the gold miners in 1849. That capital hasn't moved significantly to (say) Bakersfield.
Encoding can be greatly speed up by constructing an array of the codes for each symbol (left justified) plus the code length. During encode you look up the code for the current symbol, shift it to align with the current output bit position, bitwise or it into the output stream and adjust your output position according to the code length. Similarly an array of the codes can be used to decode quickly as well using a binary search. Avoid using tree traversal when encoding and decoding to greatly increase performance.

Also, Huffman is fast becoming obsolete with the introduction of ANS.

I'm "slightly" biased but to me Easy Passwords is a better solution (see https://palant.de/2016/04/19/easy-passwords). In fact, I programed it myself :)

Syncing data between different computers is still work in progress. Then again, with it being a password generator this is less of an issue than with password safes. As long as your master password is the same you can simply create a password with the same name on another computer and it will work.
You know it's an excellent package just based on how straightforward and readable the source code is.

• Digitize all human knowledge and as much art/literature as you can gather (books, music, movies, shows, games, even porn and random YouTube videos and discussions on online forums :) Most of that work has already been done.

• Store it on the most resilient (and simple/repairable) storage media you can,

• Bundle it with devices that can read that data,

• Along with instructions for building/reinventing such devices, and instructions on how to interpret that data (i.e. JPEG and other file formats :)

• Also include a guide for translating the instructions. Assume that a future reader may not understand any of our current languages, or even be human at all.

• Put it all in a silo as physically strong as you can build.

• Make copies of the silo and bury one on each continent and in each ocean. Maybe even on the Moon?

• Distribute markers and maps to each silo (and instructions for opening them) all over the world.

• Let fate take its course.

All of this could be done by a few individuals and most of it won't even require a lot of money.

Back in the day you'd write a value into hardware register and the video hardware would draw the cursor at the location designated by the written value. The hardware that was generating the signal to drive the beam would AND the VRAM contents with the register and XOR that result with a clock that pulsed at the blink rate. Voila, blinking cursor.

In this day and age, I imagine you write some code that runs in the GPU off a timer interrupt that pumps the texture of a cursor to a location on screen based on a value stored in some scratch RAM. Exposing that interface to some JavaScript running an editor in a browser is left as an exercise for the jackasses who have taken what we would call a SuperComputer back in the day and turned it into wheezing desk heater with a stuttering UI.
>Being an experienced developer, I know why that tooling is required

In terms of JavaScript I still don't understand why all that "tooling" is required. Every time I try to understand how the JavaScript tools fit together I end up just finding a .js file I can stick in the top of the HTML.

The "install with npm" on a website isn't helpful at all, because I'm not doing Node, I'm just building a website and doesn't want Node.

What would help is a big poster, showing how stuff fits together. Grunt, Bower, Node, NPM, it's just a big pile of confusing.
All the instructions for everyone now uses yarn though, so you are affected, just like everyone was affected with the bower switch, gulp switch, etc.

The churn in tooling is unavoidable even if you use slightly less fashionable frameworks.
How is enpass's (cryptographic) design and security compared to 1Password?
I'm still not sure how that's considered a loophole. The people who work for them are in fact small business operators, and it most certainly does simplify the process for them not having to pay for GST.

Is your argument that you wish they had structured it differently so they were forced to pay more taxes? If that was the case then the drivers would be making a less, and the passengers would pay a more to cover the costs of the GST, and I don't see the point in that.

If taxi companies want to level the playing field, why don't structure themselves in more innovative ways like Uber did instead of forcing others to pay more taxes?
The node level autoscaling doesn't need to be integrated with kubernetes, all it needs to do is create a new instance and register it as a node through normal channels.

Even if you don't need autoscaling, I'd suggest still using autoscaling groups and setting it to a fixed number of instances, so that instances will automatically get restarted if they go down.

http://glider5.com/ is kind of like an open search engine where all the code is open, forkable and votable. Kind of like Quora but with code instead of text.

Since I posted this last time[1] the site actually now works, with a bunch of updates:

* Location support ("where am I") and city database data

* Synonym support ("where am I" == "where I am")

* Query exposure (recent queries, broken queries, top queries, top users....)

* API[2] so you can query from other sites/apps

There are still a lot of bugs, the site only works well in chrome, things like that. There's also a blog[3]. Network access for snippets is coming so they can call out to other APIs.

Don't sell yourself-- nobody wants a supplicant. Convey your Senior status. Focus your conversation on him. What are his priorities? Where are they struggling? Has he put thought into what sort of culture they're trying to build? What does success look like?

You will standout by asking good questions, demonstrating you have a deep understanding of the space. Mindset is important - you're here to determine if this is a good match. He needs to sell you.
Fine, so knowing this, Uber collects GST and reduces the fare by the offsetting amount. In one pocket and out of the other. It's purely optics.

Sorry for the nit-pick, but in this case the word confounded had me genuinely confused about what this special interest group, Canadian Garret Camp, is (are they angel investors? some sort of VC incubator? a front-group for taxi companies?), and why they were lobbying for removing Uber's GST exemption.
