The incumbent ISPs will charge just enough that it is cheaper for Google to pay the toll.

If Google is smart they'll double-down on Google Fiber. If the rest of SV were smart they'd chip in and blanket the top 200 cities with gigabit fiber to kickstart some real competition.

You have to make a serious effort to be as sleep-deprived as a new parent. You could sign up to have the CIA torture you, for example. But unless you're being kept awake by guys with guns, or you have fatal familial insomnia, you've got nothing on the parent of a newborn. Especially a newborn with colic.
Even if you imposed a singular stack, I could just do it my way at whatever level you started to let me make decisions. All you end up doing is adding overhead to your basic problem which is your teams are not communicating, fix that problem and your tech stack becomes irreverent. People will start to talk and start to organize into best practices simply because its easier ( why reinvent the wheel if Jim in accounting already did it and I can just use his stuff )

Most of the GNU utilities are available from Homebrew (dupes repo iirc) and they work seamlessly since it is prefixed with a g-. However force linking is allowed too so your workflow is rarely affected.

I find it strange that you like apt because IMO it's not as nice as other full fledged package manages (disclaimer: I'm a big portage fanboy).
Max I ever saw was around 100 simultaneous connections on projects that jumped up on the page. Not sure I would consider that a _lot_ for any reasonable hardware.

I think one of the most amazing parts of this is how accessible the hardware is right now. You can get world-class AI results with the cost of less than most used cars. In addition, with so many resources freely available through open-source, the ability to get started is very accessible.

And my main point was the even before the security theatre, at the height of post WWII global violence, terrorist attacks in the US were exceedingly rare and they still are. This suggests that we likely didn't buy anything for the sale of individual liberty.

I wonder if this is based on the Bussard polywell design. The Navy was soliciting for bids on development of that as recently as 2008 (1), and Bussard presented at Google at in 2006 (2). A decade seems about right to get from small prototype that blew up to stable prototype. Indeed, other people think this too (3).

That last bit is the tricky part, though! You don't, unfortunately, know the actual range of salaries the company is willing to pay. But if you get ahead of yourself and say that you're willing to work for less for this particularly interesting job but they're actually willing to pay more, that's potentially leaving a substantial bit of money on the table.
No, we have a national unpaid leave policy (FMLA). What we don't have, and desperately need, is a paid leave policy.

> Nvidia and AMD both do per-game optimizations in the drivers themselves

It's worse than that. Most DirectX code is incorrect to begin with, and GPU manufacturers tailor their drivers to make stuff that should not be valid run for specific games. hence the "the way it's meant to be played" and the nonsense of newer drivers bringing 20-30% performance increase for recent games.
Apple throwing together a "Mac" in a bog standard PC case with Mac compatible hardware is something that Apple could do and would make most Pro users happy.

Apple has in fact shipped "Macs" in standard PC cases and slapped OS X on them. They did it for the first developer x86 Mac machines. How long do you think it takes Dell to create a new case and slap hardware in it?
I helped test the microbit and I wrote a small program for pedagogical purposes. The hardware was very neat and I liked the leds on the back.

Originally there was going to be a coin cell battery but they removed it because children might eat it.
Also there is a Bluetooth radio on the microbit but the runtime was 12k and there wasn't enough space to load micropython and Bluetooth at the same time .

>Irrelevant. The Electoral College doesn't work that way, and also, Republicans won elections across the board in all the other races: House, Senate, governors, state legislatures, etc.

Your argument was that liberalism was on a downward trend. On the US's biggest election stage, more people identified with the liberal politics than the conservative ones. Those other races have much smaller turnouts on any given day than the presidential election.

> Only a complete moron believed at the time that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. not the same yada...

You can say that as your opinion, but the national sentiment at the time went with that as fact. Check the history.

> Moreover, you sidestepped my challenge. I said to compare the birthrates for "liberal, irreligious people" to conservative, religious people. The minorities in this country are not irreligious by a long shot; in fact, they're frequently a lot more religious that the average conservative.

Social conservatism does not imply political conservatism...

I want to think about this both optimistically and pessimistically.

It's a great start and hope it leads to improvement, but this has the same psychological effect as reading a click-bait headline (fake news in itself) -- unless readers dive deeper. And just as with Wikipedia, the "fact check" sites could be gamed or contain inaccurate information themselves. Users never ask about the 'primary sources', and instead justread the headline for face-value.

My pessimistic expectation is that this inevitably will result in something like:

Chocolate is good for you. - Fact Check: Mostly True

Chocolate is bad for you. - Fact Check: Mostly True

Edit: Words
Who fact checks the fact checkers?
OP isn't looking to build the next great tech startup. Just a side project that makes money.
If you let your teams individually choose their tech, they will be empowered to duplicate work, and they won't be able to cross pollinate or provide expertise/support to any team that's picked a tech stack different from theirs.

Doesn't this just encourage silos?

Intel GPU drivers are completely open source, are they not?

That clearly makes it not impossible, if they cared enough.

Nvidia "experience" driver management software "optimizes" how games run by finding the .exe name of the game. Change the .exe filename, and your performance drops. So they are doing exactly what you suggested they might be doing.

The shell code is in the code which is compiled.

1. Put shell code in a string in some js,

2. get browser to JIT js and thus write the string that contains the shell code to an execute page in memory,

3. exploit a vulnerability and point the instruction pointer to the location of the string which contains the shellcode.

Normally, i.e. outside of a JIT, this wouldn't work because the string would be saved to a non-executable page.

> but what about the physical side?

That is the physical side. Your physical intuition may be getting in the way.

> What is the embodiment of the energy that is being infinitely divided?

What is the embodiment of the energy eigenstates of a quantum harmonic oscillator in a superposition? I'm not sure what kind of answer you want, but it's the same as the answer to that.

> What is the physical explanation as to why they don't interact?

Because they're (in my hypothetical scenario) eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. To get an intuition as to why they don't interact (again, in my scenario that might not correspond to leading many-worlds theories), look at the simplest possible case; one dimensional quantum harmonic oscillators. There's no short answer to your question.

> I.e. does gravity not travel along that space-time dimension? Is there a second time dimension? Are the universes created infinitely far apart?

Unfortunately, none of these questions are in the right ballpark. They are too complicated. If a selection rule in the universal Hamiltonian (or something) is the answer, they just won't interact at all. Bringing notions of other dimensions, or great distances, or whatever into it is unnecessary.

Unfortunately, I don't think any suggestion I can give here will alleviate your confusion without having a background in QM. You may want to read Griffiths QM textbook if you're really interested.
I just checked the logs, looks like there is some bug.

They also ripped out messaging and the ability to share music directly after allowing it to die a slow death that involved it being completely hidden form the web client.

As a big fan of data analysis I've also noticed that they no longer accurately report or record user preferences and instead heavily weight popular artists.
They also only sent out the "Year in Review" to people that were subscribed to their spam emails.

Those two things are what brought me to them over Google Play Music. I'm currently in the process of switching back.
Even in-network can get nasty very soon when you introduce wifi into the mix or have an overloaded switch between the client and the server.

I think this has huge potential for abuse. Let's say politifact or snopes or both happen to be biased. Let's say they both lean left or both lean right. Now an entire side of the aisle will always be presented by Google as false. I know that's how most people perceive it anyway, but how's it going to look for Google when they're taking a side? Also, I have to wonder whether this will flag things as false until one of those other sites confirms it, or does it default to neutral?

Having said that, I'm skeptical that this will be a force for overall good. I can already imagine ways in which this will be abused.

My girlfriend actually works from home on her Surface Pro 3. I just bought her an external screen for it. One thing: it's pretty picky about the DisplayPort cable.

Non for profit salaries are public, they aren't paying top salaries usually.
That's what I am asking - the only companies I see such scenario playing out are in deeply monopolized and regulated industries (healthcare, ISPs, cable TV providers). I'm not saying Uber won't ever raise the prices ever, but I am yet to see a plan like this - capture the market, then drive up prices - actually happen and be sustainable. Amazon is surely not an example of it, even though it did capture the market, no sign of dramatic price increase.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice."
Not really, but from a look at the documentation, this seems to be geared towards recurrent nets (and their internal organization) and keras is a little more focused on layer abstraction.

Hopefully they improve the docs as they go along; I could follow along because I work in the area, but they're pretty researchy, and I would imagine most would have difficulty parsing them unless they're regularly reading papers in this area.
His focus generally is media, which I don't think is a bad thing (VCs are really bad at understanding media, he's working in an area with large arbitrage opportunities).

But his largest investments have been outside media. Anki, Qik, Sigma Networks, Equinix, Asana. He's certainly not out of his element when he isn't talking media.

China has a huge flat coastal river delta that's heavily populated. The US has that only at New Orleans, which is a much smaller city and has high ground nearby.

The US comes out fairly well on rising sea levels. Except for Florida. Florida has so much low-lying coast that it's hopeless. The US west coast is mountainous enough that high ground isn't far inland, and only short sections of the coast at SF and LA are vulnerable. The coastal cities of the east coast have reasonably short coastlines, enough money to build sea walls, and compact river mouths.
Nothing's a "given".

No way to know if non-granular "user" and "admin" are sufficient. For a lot of apps they are. For many it's more of a "user of a group" and "admin of a group" which is still straight-forward. Granular authorization can be a challenge if it wasn't architected in at the beginning, but even then it just depends.

In terms of authenticating against providers, who knows. For me, local auth, Google, FB, Twitter, and GH are more than enough, but your needs may vary.

These are objective fact checks, aren't they? It's harder to quietly include bias than in say, a newspaper or cable news.

If one/both of them starts getting power-mad with their influence, they can get booted off the list, and replaced, or have others come in next to them.

If two of them say "This is true", and a third says "This is false", then that third one, if it can present good data for it's POV, can quickly become more trusted.
Do you do the screening too? Are you sometimes handed resumes without further information?

Answer yes to any of these questions and you'll realize that you can't do your job if the resume doesn't have a title. (Unless you spend 10 minutes to decode it). You simply don't know what's the job of the candidate and can't forward to any team/manager.

Corfu looks interesting. I need a distributed, consistent, persistent log for a project. Corfu is quite complex (three different RAM-hungry Java components that each wants to be distributed), however.

Yea, I'm talking actual, vested, liquid equity, sellable per year. Not monopoly-money options.
Damming the river makes it worse. Water flow from the river has to go somewhere. As sea levels rise, the river expands. The Mississippi creates floods of this type well upstream from New Orleans.

Also, how does D compare to Rust?

(If I'm going to learn a new system programming language, which one should I pick?)
I guess the best comparison to Python would be the dunder methods. You know how in Python a class really is just a dict, right? Like, foo.bar is pretty much syntactic sugar for foo.__get_attribute__(foo.__dict__['bar']) in most cases. Or how a + b is sugar for a.__plus__(b).

Well, imagine that all of the things you can do in Python by messing with dunder methods, function decorators, or metaclasses could be precomputed by a compiler and would not even execute at all during runtime. It makes everything really fast at runtime and easy to precompute at compile time.
Contract bargaining is great in theory as well, because in theory bargains are made on a level playing field between free agents. In practice employment bargaining is usually highly asymmetrical and employees are held to contracts of adhesion rather than being able to negotiate the conditions of their work.

Why is it overreach when government promulgates policies that support the interests of citizens, presumably at the request of those citizens? Businesses are constantly lobbying government to change the rules in their favor, but any time rules are changed in the ways that don't benefit them they howl about government overreach.

The government is not some meddling entity that barged into a happy marriage between you as employer and your workers as employees. In theory - though governmental behavior is also flawed in the real world - it exists to serve the interests of all, individual or organizational. It's apparent that a majority of people dislike answering questions about pay and do not wish to be pressured into revealing such information, but as soon as they formalize that preference by making it into a rule folks like yourself are labeling it as overreach.
