I was just thinking many have written their life time experiences, all I have to do is pick up the book and read then I'll be wise as well right? Seems it's cyclical the pattern why can't I skip the stupid mistakes. Parents try to tell you not to make the mistakes they made but inevitably you make the mistakes as well. Well I'm speaking for myself anyway. Oh well.
It depends on what you mean by security. They may not be insulated from large-scale crop failures, but they are insulated from heavily-subsidized foreign companies dumping products on their market in a bid to undercut domestic prices and eliminate local producers as competitors.

As with most things, it comes down to a trade-off: increased risk of disruptions from ecological events in return for a decreased risk from geopolitical situations. One is not inherently better than the other, but Japan has a preference for self-sufficiency as much as possible.
Power goes as C v^2 f. At best. That doesn't change.

If you look at a particular technology node, one of the best correlations of power consumption is chip area. It's pretty much a straight line.

Now, that has probably changed a bit with how aggressively we turn chip areas off nowadays. So, we probably have to alter that to power consumption vs active chip area--but it's still a fixed line for a technology node.
Not to be too off topic but are there any good text adventure games for someone learning to read. 2nd grade level.

I'm thinking that would be a great way to naturally practice reading comprehension since it forces you to think about what you read.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. If anything, we should be trying to remove the expectation of tipping, and price shit appropriately for what it actually costs.

What was the point of publishing this information in such a non-functional format? Is this an example of minimalism taken too far (not even an anchor tag for the twitter link) or is this some publishing standard I'm not aware of?

I feel like the document could have benefited a great deal from some simple font color styling. I guess in its current format it can easily be copy-pasted somewhere else and still look exactly as it does?

My 7 year old son and I just got a Switch for BotW and we're both loving it, too.
Dead wrong. Putting a price tag on something will allow to value that thing against others. Then you loose all the intangible values such as : beauty, the fact that corals are vital to some species, etc. So, if you estimate the value of coral, then you can say that it's less valuable than something else. I can follow you if you compute the price in terms "price to build" instead of "value", that is : how much euros do you need to rebuild the coral reef.

Same argument with fresh water : some people think that if you put a price on it, then people will be more careful when using it. That value price. Now, let's compute how much it takes to clean water (in a way it doesn't taste the chemicals used to clean it).

Nevertheless, teaching people to appreciate the value of things by reducing these to an amount of money is absolutely destroying the so-many-axis-of-values one may envision for one simple thing... It's blinding people to the richness of what they may encounter.

How much dollars are you worth ?
Other than Toronto, are there any airports that would really even make sense as transit points between two American cities?
They should take this determination out of the hands of the carriers. Surely there's a disinterested party that can read weather reports and make determinations of whether or not particular routes are safe?

And as a backstop, still give the airline the power to decide on a no-go... even if the "weather service" says it's ok to fly, if the captain doesn't feel comfortable, they can make that call.
I hope they dont end up having to do this. Why should users subsidize driver's wages if Uber isn't paying them enough? Uber should instead give the drivers a bigger cut, and if needed up their rates to make up for it.
> "this should scale to adventure games that humans enjoy playing"

I'm not sure that premise holds. Admittedly it's a different genre, but a lot of puzzle games are in exponential/NP-Hard/NP-Complete spaces. Tetris is an obvious example as a simple reduction of the packing problem. Humans very much enjoy playing those.

Even just restricting it to the genre of "adventure games", I'd be hesitant to say that there can't be games with very complex state spaces that humans enjoy playing. Maybe especially with "adventure games" where if the story and writing are interesting enough players will put up with a very wide variety of puzzles and exploration styles.

To users, one of the great appeals of Uber (and other similar services) is its simplicity. Tips are ridiculous and arbitrary, and getting out of a car without having to think about that is a huge win for users.

Ratings already replace tips as an incentive for good service, in a far more transparent and actionable way.

And if drivers start getting tips regularly, you can guarantee their overall earnings won't go up -- Uber will simply pay them even less, because they can. Whether payment is technically part of a base fare or tip doesn't do a thing to change the law of supply and demand.

(Example -- how restaurants pay waiters far less than minimum wage, and are legally allowed to, because the tips make up for it.)

Moving back to tips is a huge step backwards -- especially when forward-thinking restaurants in NYC are moving away from them as well.
HTML or any other markup language for that matter is very hard to translate into a well-defined and predictable data structure. When working with content editors, this, to me at least, is a hard requirement.
The always fantastic NPR-produced podcast Planet Money had a recent episode on how the founder of a Bitcoin company dreamed up a new currency system based around the blockchain while he was locked up in prison. Pretty fascinating and a great way to be introduced to the concept of electronic currency.

> Is it literally, someone who was involved in founding a company or does it refer to a degree of commitment, risk, or other intangible asset.

There isn't really any specific moment when a company goes from un-founded to founded. Often this happens over a period of several years.

So while colloquially we say that a founder was there when the company was founded, in practice that's really a proxy for someone having done a substantial amount of work that was compensated in equity before the company was derisked. So e.g. if you own 40% of the company by the time the company raises a seed round then you're clearly a founder, regardless of whether or not your signature is on the articles of incorporation.
I use this regularly, for everything ranging from the forgotten sudo (instead of running "sudo !!") to typos across the board.

But it does get me into interesting situations! Just the other day I was demo-ing something to my team + Director of Engg on the projector, and I ran an incorrect command, followed by "fuck" to fix it, leading to so many stares :P

"But there is no safety to anybody in taking these stamps any longer as money. They have not the slightest intrinsic value. They are not a legal tender. They will not be redeemed by anybody. They will not even pay postage. The public might just as well make wooden buttons or pebble stones a substitute for change as these stamps. They would have just as much value, and would answer precisely the same purpose, so long as the community chose to take them. But somebody must eventually lose very largely on these postage stamps, -- and the sooner their circulation is stopped the smaller the loss will be."

One wonders what the author would think of fiat currency, which is what the world uses to-day.

>Abandon silicon entirely

Abandon for what? In many series they hand-wave this away using words like "hyperspace substrate" or "dark matter" or "unobtanium." Do we have an idea of what we could use in reality?
A common zoning distinction is that a bed & breakfast is a private home where the host lives in the home. If the host does not live there, many cities/towns would then consider it a hotel and subject it to different rules.

I think a lot of the arm waving about airbnb is because of the latter situation. I don't think many people seem to have issues with renting out a spare room.
That assumes that we are looking to answer the entire question. I'd babystep towards that by first answering some basics. I want to know how much blood you can take and how long before the animal fully recovers. That can be better done in an aquarium setting with animals who are well-observed before and after. If draining a quart out of each captive animal kills 30%, that is a huge red flag without the hassle of radio tagging.

I remember reading an interesting article about bleeding squirrels to study their relationship with snakes (through blood one can tell if they have every been bitten by a venomous snake). Squirrels don't have much blood. So the scientists determined that they needed a caged recovery period with free food/water, and a shot of antibiotics, before being returned. Maybe too these crabs.
> Why do this when http://bitbucket.com will host private git repos for free?

Because you never know when one of these online services will suffer an outage, suffer a security breach that leasks your private repos or email & credentials, or even lose your data entirely. The fact that the service is free doesn't mean that it doesn't come without potential issues.
Makes me wonder if the nurses in the control group were around the nurses working fewer hours or if they otherwise knew each other (unclear to me from the article).

It could just be that the nurses working the extra hours were annoyed that the others were not and so took more days off telling themselves they deserved it since they were working more hours anyway.
Their docs site has always been decent enough for us.

Anything missing or questionable could usually be resolved by looking in the docs folder of the corresponding service's github repo.
Can't wait for the whole ride to turn into hearing the driver's explanation of why Uber allows tipping now, and why the driver deserves 30%.

I wonder why deregulation within the EU led to such different results than the US? The article makes a point about how there were many mergers in the US which probably has reduced competition. However, this doesn't explain the fact that in the EU it has been newcomers like Ryanair and Easyjet that have really made the big changes.

> a more democratic EU requires constitutional change in most member states to cede sovereignty

Ceding sovereignity always leads to less democracy and more central control, not the other way around.

The EU is starting to look a lot like a modern day Austria-Hungary, only bigger. We all know what happened to Austria-Hungary: WWI.
Often they do. The general computer science topic is dead locks.

A dead lock occurs when a state is reached and there is no way to exit the state. In complex state machines it is important insure they are 'deadlock free.' Sometimes people use a timeout to recover from a locked state machine, sometimes the system needs to be re-powered.

An adventure game is simply a state machine (or a collection of interlocked state machines). So proving the proving the game has no deadlocks will also prove that the state machine has no deadlocks.
I'm amazed this works at all!
Thank you, Thank you.
I live in NYC, and at this point I rarely use Uber. This is one more reason not to.

When I call an Uber, I have to wait N minutes for the car to come. If I want a cab, I step outside my apartment and flag one down. Granted, I live in downtown, so that wouldn't work as well in the other boroughs.

Uber also surges. Yellow cabs are always the same price. It's usually cheaper than Uber.

I honestly wish there was a separate app to tell me when (and how much) to tip and when not to tip when in the US. As a European, I'm always baffled by folks expecting tips in weirdest (at least by my standards) of circumstances.
I agree. I understand the reason why tipping exists in the restaurant industry and that there are special laws surrounding tipping and minimum wage there, but in my opinion the future should be moving towards eliminating the need for tipping. Businesses adding tipping to their existing business model is, in my opinion, moving in the wrong direction. It's hard for tip-based businesses to move in a tipless direction, but the best way to begin phasing that out is to not start requiring tips in the first place. Once they start allowing tips, they're really never going to get away from employees demanding tips and customers seeking lower prices even if adding in a tip makes the prices the same.

If you need to pay your employees more, they should get paid more. Tips is a bad way of handling employee compensation. Tips should be reserved for extraordinary service rendered, not the main way of paying your employees.
If you are really worried about this then stop reading mainstream news propaganda, especially GW, TVN24, Newsweek. Poland leaving EU is the newest oposition narrative to discredit current government. That's all. People don't care about TK any longer so oposition created the new faked news.

it isn't just cheapness. Minneapolis has built a large airport. If delta threatens to move out Minneapolis will sell those extra gates Delta is no longer using to someone else who wants to start a hub. In the mean time where ever Delta relocates too needs to builds a lot of gates and probably runways - even though the city ultimately wants to be a hub I'm not sure the city is willing to pay for all that.

Shame, it was flagged and removed. It was a comment that was highly sarcastic and critical of climate change, but I'd say no more sarcastic than any other comment we might find on here. Perhaps we could have benefited from learning why people continue to falsely believe climate change isn't real.
Why does "I have more money" automatically correlate with "really needs to get somewhere"? What if, in your example, you didn't have $1300 to spend, but could have afforded a $400 ticket? Do we, collectively as customers, really want to say "too bad, if you're poor you don't get to have your needs fulfilled in emergencies"?

People won't book a flight -- especially on short notice -- just because it's cheap. They book because they actually want to go somewhere. Sure, there are people who occasionally want to make a trip on a whim, and a higher price is a disincentive and deterrent to making that decision last-minute... but it doesn't automatically follow that low prices mean that they'll always be snatched up and there won't be available tickets for people who "need" one more.

But then again, C++ isn't really a systems programming language, though a subset can be. The C ABIs are basically the ABIs published by each OS on each architecture, and typically they derive these from the ABIs published by the CPU vendors. Third party C compilers are expected to adhere to a platform's C ABI, and generally they do.

Rust absolutely could be a systems programming language, but it will need at least repr(C) and such options to interface with: a) hardware, b) code not written in Rust or compiled with a different version of the Rust compiler. Sometimes (b) means "with itself", e.g., via structs saved in files with no additional encoding.
The amount of stuff that gets past the TSA is pretty strong evidence that yes, local government probably could do a better job at basic security/screening. Anyone who really wants to get away with something needs to worry about a 100 other agencies before they worry about the TSA.

Really there's very little evidence that the TSA has had any practical success, despite huge expense. I've traveled internationally and I've seen huge containers of cosmetics walked right through the TSA, only to be stopped on simple inter-terminal x-ray/metal detector inspection in Zurich.

Just because we have it now doesn't mean we need to have it; TSA regulation is clearly in the useless category.

I'm not a Intel or AMD fanboy by any stretch (only ever built with Intel), but I don't know what benchmarks you've been reading and I've read a lot and you'll have to clarify what you mean by worse performance.

In any multithreaded application the Ryzen 1600(x) are just as good if not better. The 1800x to 1700 are even more multithreaded performance and the 1700 is priced a little cheaper than 7700k and able to be OC to the same performance as the 1800x (the entire Ryzen lineup seems to be capable of the same OC, but also capped pretty heavily). The only place that is showing Intel winning are in single threaded scenarios and in gaming scenarios. The gaming scenarios are interesting as one of the more recent benchmarks I saw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VvwWTQKCZs) was showing in many cases the worse case FPS is better than the 7600k. Additionally, several games have received engine updates that seem to put Ryzen on par with Intel now.
