When the odds of success are favorable if you keep playing, eventually you will win, even if each individual event is luck.

For example, is it luck that the Vegas casinos make money on gambling? Nope, even though the outcome of each individual hand is luck.

Many people who are successful went through repeated failures to get there. They never gave up.
It would be nice if it indicated which sites were supported within the webstore. From looking at the manifest.json in the source, it looks like: {Google Flights, Expedia, Kayak, Google search}
Is C being in at some point even relevant? There's plenty of safer languages thst can fo that. There's also containers, OS's, and embedded runtimes for some. The first, business mainframe was even programmed in an early one. It's even still on market although less desirable today. And C itself has automated toolimg available like SAFEcode that can make it safer with one team doing that for FreeBSD.

So you can make the C safe or get rid of it. However much work you want to put in.
It's unreasonable and unrealistic to expect emotional compliance from people who are being wronged.
Perhaps people would start new companies with their absence.

I went through a pretty intense major depressive episode (6 months not getting out of bed) plus chronic dissociation and depression. End to end from the onset of the episode to reaching a point where I feel I'm "fully actualized" took 6 years. During that process I went from being one of the angriest and most unpleasant people to being very happy with many close relationships, and a clear sense of purpose.

My mental health crisis was absolutely a wake up call. It lead me to make significant structural changes to my approach to phenomenology, aesthetics, morality, and epistemology. I totally restructured my moment to moment experience of existence.

As the bike starts to topple, I wonder if you could climb down it quickly enough to avoid jumping.

Kinda like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvOKyFmiUFA
That's really interesting. Is there any documentation around for memor safe version? I'd like to study your implementation!
You can do so with Rust, and there's a number of them, from toy POCs to much more serious projects.
Take away point. People don't care about economic inequality, they care about unfair situations. Everyone getting what they deserve based on the effort they put in, with equal effort meaning an equal split is fine, it's when people are perceived as in getting too much reward for their part of their work, or getting benefits for doing nothing, that people get upset.

That's not to say that's necessarily good ethics, I mean we have tons of cognitive biases that are potentially useful cognitive shortcuts, but end up leading to BS.

Of course, at some point, and it might already have happened, we'll have enough resources that nobody has to go without food, shelter, water, etc. Our intrinsic ideas about economic unfairness suggest that people who don't do anything don't deserve support, but most moral traditions teach charity, compassion for the poor, and so on.

And economically, we may all benefit overall if we provide enough resources to every person, in money or by other means. A lot of work goes into getting food, clothes, and shelter when one is poor. Plenty of unemployed or poor people would pursue more useful undertakings if they have the resources.
> a large number of high-ranking US staff think that nuclear war is winnable

The article [1] cites two retired generals as its examples of "senior military officers" who "might be eager to get things started in the belief that a war with Russia could actually be winnable".

Dumb question, because I haven't spent enough time to figure it out, but how do you do writes in GraphQL ?

I know how to do those in REST, but trying to Google it for GraphQL is darn near impossible.
You don't need a project to do it with Rust, you just need a !#[no_std] marker.
You are definitely not wrong. In our case the benefits have far outweighed the harshness from the bleeding edge. But for sure we have had to do a thing or two that I would rather not. Adding auth into graphQL, extending built in type classes are examples.
As opposed to right wing emphasis on military action, enforcing Christian morality though the power of government, and removing any restrictions from powerful corporations.

If you really believe what you're saying, then be a libertarian, not some far rightist.

Also, alt-right is all about identity politics. That would be the white power thingee.
> Following the logic here, you seem to be implying that no-one except the irresponsible should use C.

There are some platforms (such as embedded systems) where C really is the only choice. But if you do have a choice? Then I don't think using C is a good idea.

I'm not sure if "irresponsible" is the right word, though. I think developers underestimate the risks of C's unsafety and/or overestimate their ability to properly deal with it. Hanlon's razor[0] applies.

0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
Super, super dumb question here, but now that memory is approaching an incredibly low $/byte ratio, would it be possible to use a large portion of the available memory to "index" the location of bytes to improve access time?

I'm fairly certain it's impossible to create a full and accurate index while still having a useful amount of RAM left over but could you perform some kind of extreme compression, even hashing each "row"? That way a CPU could eliminate X number of rows in its search due to the likelihood that the hash couldn't be generated if it contained that byte of data. I'm obviously a layman but I think that if statistical branch prediction works, there must be a way to use excessive amounts of memory to make random access into a predictive process.
Shamelessly bumping my project to produce a nice python API for the Chromium/Chrome-remote-debugger-protocol: https://github.com/fake-name/ChromeController

I also understand your sentiment, and I may be guilty of it too. But this is the exact sort of attitude that blocks real change.
In graphQL they are called mutations http://graphql.org/graphql-js/mutations-and-input-types/
Yes it is different.
I could argue both sides of this. I was a homemaker and full time mom for a lot of years. I am currently homeless. I have turned down multiple offers to move in with some guy or similar, in part due to my concerns about how that can lead to loss of agency and can lead to someone being trapped.

I think the real issue is, as I have said twice elsewhere here, that housing prices are insane and this is fueling a general rise in homelessness. Things like that always impact the most vulnerable the worst.

I am for the decriminalization of sex work. If I were not medically handicapped and if I thought I could make it work, I would seriously consider moving to Nevada and taking up sex work to pay off my debts and come up with a down payment for a house. I don't think that would work for me personally and I do understand why there is a great hue and cry about putting people in positions where they are de facto forced into sex work.

I get why this is click bait, but it is hard to have a reasoned discussion about such subjects, for a lot of reasons.
I wonder whether this could be used as a simple way to get an Android env for Qt development? Last time I did Qt dev for mobile the biggest headaches were trying to get the Android SDK and NDK configured and setup in a way that actually worked with Qt :-s

(Similar-ish thought for React Native, although it was much easier than Qt somehow (so much so that originally I was planning to do the project in Qt and changed to React Native because everything was up and running much faster).)
The way I see it, lack of affordable housing is part of that 'low income problem' I alluded to. It's one component of, for lack of a better term, material poverty.

I agree, Western economies have done a poor job on housing affordability these last few decades. From what I've read, most of the blame can be laid at the feet of 1. zoning restrictions and 2. ironically, rent control, both of which constrain supply.
What you think about GIAC Platinum, GSE, or whatever it was called? And with a mix of software, networking, and incident handling before the interviews and pentests?

It's the only one I ever thought might be valuable since it combines specific knowledge with some pentest against real systems. Curious what you think as you're more qualified to assess such a thing given all your security evaluations and hiring those people.
I've had several of these in my job search recently as well, with a background in education I'm astonished that anyone thinks they show anything.
The records are by the distance from ground to the top of the seat where the rider sits.

I've already tried. None of the recruiting firms have been able to lead me to job offers. I got a few interviews, but that's it.

There's a lot of detail in my original post, so you would need to provide more detailed, personalized advice. "talk to a recruiter" would be already attempted for someone that's been on the job search as long as I have.
With all the focus on autonomous systems, I haven't seen one dedicated to coordination between two or more vehicles like this. Interesting idea to take advantage of drafting for trucks.
This article describes how some people's best survival option is to give control of their body to someone else. I think anyone with empathy would agree that's a bad thing.
That ladder is supported on both ends. Just to reach over while it is falling requires you to shift to the side it is falling away from accelerating the fall even further.

It would be like being astride that ladder rather than clinging to the side of it and then going over the top and then sliding down on the side furthest from the ground.

Not something I'd like to try.
It's already possible. I'm using webrtc and node-electron to connect a golang server for my MMO project. I have a farm of 4 nodejs processes running under tmux acting as proxies for unreliable communications.

If I keep dropping airlines for every unpleasant experience, I ll run out of options for flying. I have had bad experiences (not of this magnitude) , but dropping UA from my search list is not a viable option. Its an airline, not a restaurant. Having said that, I do hope UA bleeds through its nose while settlement.
> C is not a safe language.

It what ways is it unsafe? Thinking about the examples you'll cite, can the programmer introduce checks and safety nets to overcome them? For example, you'll no doubt mention buffer overflows, but can these be protected against?
It is amazing how few people know the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and their causes and effects, like jshevek.

I have had Type 1 since I was in grade school and have had to deal with countless teachers, friends, and relatives who have admonished me to just cut out sweets to treat my disease. Most of them never realize that if I stopped controlling my blood sugar with finger pricks, my insulin pump, and extreme attention to food and drink for even a day or two I would become so ill as to require hospitalization, and shortly after that, if not corrected, be in a condition which could be life-threatening (DKA).

Even a person with well-controlled diabetes faces long-term complications, and it is a disease that requires constant vigilance. Multiple glucose tests per day (even with a continuous glucose monitor, you need to calibrate it with a meter test), finely tuned insulin delivery rates, insulin sensitivity calculation, insulin to carb ratio calculation, how carbohydrates of different complexity or mixing a fat or protein into your meal might affect how much insulin you need or when you need it to avoid hyper- or hypoglycemia.

Minimed is coming out with an (almost) closed loop CGM/pump system, which will do continuous monitoring and also insulin delivery adjustment--I am hoping to get one, but it may be too expensive even with insurance.

The fact that any company with the brains and pockets of Apple is even approaching improvements for people with Type 1 is great news...
I'm learning Omp right now, and I'm excited about it, but my sarcasm filter is off today--are you serious about this?

What about the inability to exit a parallel region--I was under the impression that once you start a parallel for, you can't exit it until it's run through the entire iteration.
once people start doing this, the companies will change. The companies will start valuing the customers more.
United screwed up by not having a decent incentive system in place to avoid deplaning people. People have presented many options, including taking a ballpark figure on checkin, or whilst on the airplance a speaker announcement anyone to travel later for $800, wait a minute, $1000, $1200, okay great thanks folks.. That was extremely badly handled and shocking that no process was in place for this - as last minute crew travel as probably quite common - also that onboard manager laughed in someone's face when they offer to deplane for $1600. A complete #fail at management level developing these processes.

That said, it wasn't united that removed the guy, so had American or Southwest got to the point of needed to removing a non-co-operative passenger (it seems that point is less likely to occur) it would probably of been the same police team that actioned it. People need to remember that.

Also, this idea that he was targeted due to being Chinese has no supporting evidence, its more likely it was first row of people with less/no airline status (given the extra legroom seats in front were probably reserve for gold members).

United screwed up on processes, gate management, and their apology. But this was the police/airport-security that should shoulder most of blame for the social outrage..
A summary of the thread, from my perspective: 1. Advertising is the wrong way to monetize, paywalls are the right way, 2. Paywalls don't work because they make people go elsewhere and sites still have expenses, 3. (you) Paywalls do work, NYT and WSJ make lots of money on digital, 4. (me) Yes but that's only because they are the winners in a winners-take-all market.

I don't really disagree with you, my point was just that the fact that paywalls can work for an extremely small set of publishers does not resolve the tension in comments #1 and #2.
Well, I started in 2007 so your projected statistic wouldn't have been very relevant. In 2007 I should have been able to get a full-time job more easily, yeah? Yet even in 2007-13 I only have gotten cheap contractor offers.

I'm not interested in part time gigs. My contract jobs pay too low, highest paid one was $25/hr. I'm looking to settle down for a salaried position with benefits (as any decent job would have) while I still can. Nearly all the jobs on the local boards are still full-time with benefits.
This is an automated newspaper which watches the top news articles and images on reddit every hour. Every 6 hours it pulls the top articles and images into a statically generated newspaper 'edition' and uploads it. The content and summaries are generated with NLP content extraction libraries. Each edition is also downloadable as a static zip file.

The idea is to present a snapshot of popular news at any given 6 hour window in time and preserve it.
Bezos might have got this from Colin Powell's 40/70 decision rule. http://integratedleader.com/articles/40-70rule.pdf
Just keep in mind when applying that you might have personal joint liability for your business card's balance. We have a Chase Ink Business Cash card that I applied for as a representative of our company and had to provide my SSN on the application. The card was approved no problem but looking at Chase's offerings enticed me to apply for the Sapphire card for myself. I got denied a Sapphire card despite a damn near perfect credit score and qualifying income. When I called in to dispute being denied arguing that my personal card shouldn't be impacted by a business card, this is how I learned that I was jointly liable for my business card payments as well. Chase auto-denied me due to "multiple consecutive applications" since they don't consider business and personal to be separate if the SSN used is the same.

Point is, make sure you read the fine print before you apply - joint liability may not be standard on all cards. Our bank issued us their business Visa with a very generous line and it is only connected to our business account with no joint personal liability.
Why is United taking more blame than the Chicago PD?
I have likely read more than you on this and I don't agree. I think this is a distinct issue, separate from low income.

I am homeless. I have a low income. If housing prices were not so insane, I would find it easier to get off the street. "Low income" really does not adequately encapsulate the issue of crazy housing prices.

It is more complicated than zoning restrictions and rent control, which no doubt contribute. We have also eliminated a lot of housing that historically worked well for single individuals with entry level jobs. We essentially expect such people these days to rent a two or three bedroom apartment designed for a nuclear family and get a roommate. This was not the historical norm for expectations and is not the norm in all parts of the world. It is a really broken model and it needs to go die somewhere.

This doesn't work well for modern websites using push-style updates, e.g. via websockets. Old nginx processes might never close after the reload, as connections are very long-lived. If reloads happen often this leads to memory exhaustion. So this is a bad solution to rely on.
Not really, the balloon would be attached to the top of the bike at let's say 15 meters high and would itself go maybe another 5 or 10 meters up trailing the wire to the bike.

So the rider would still be at the right distance from the ground, it's just that the bike can't fall over anymore because the balloon will help to catch it. You could sit still all day long on that thing (or until the wind caught the balloon...).

The downside of the scheme is the negative feedback loop in the bike once it did became unbalanced. When it's almost balanced it would not take much upwards force to keep it that way but once it starts to become unbalanced the force required will very quickly overpower the balloon.

Or you'd have to make the balloon so large that it would be just incapable of lifting bike + rider off the ground.

Former WeChat PM here. Good analysis.

But annoyed that mot western coverage of the app focuses on the breadth of features/platform stuff and belies the many ways that it's an extremely solid messaging app compared to many.

The choices made in the fundamentals (adding friends, creating groups, notifications) are all super well thought out. People using it will use it for communicating with strangers and conducting business, something you don't see in any messaging app in the US. The core messaging features are versatile and ultilitarian. And it's chock full of power user features like tags, notes, pinning threads, etc. The core team had spent 10 years working on email clients and services before embarking on it and it shows. This is the foundation the rest was built on.
“Good outcomes” is a bit vague, depends on ideological preferences, and is hard to measure even when we can agree on criteria.

In my opinion the purpose of elections is to make the political system beholden, responsive, and accountable to the populace; to give the political system legitimacy so that it will be popularly supported; and to guarantee peaceful transitions of power and general political stability.

Those goals are undermined when a small number of powerful people can intimidate, cajole, or trick the public into voting how they prefer (usually against the interests of members of the public, and the nation’s interests in general). For this reason, I believe in constraints on campaign financing, election-season advertising, and believe that free, fair, and accessible elections should be a political priority in my country, alongside robust public education with instruction in civics and critical thinking, and a healthy independent media ecosystem.

I have no idea what “the inherent moral virtue of voting your heart” means. Feel free to vote for Robin Williams if you want, but realize that in most countries (including the USA) write-in votes for dead Americans are invalid.

> vanishingly unlikely that an ironclad one-man-one-vote system is close to the best we can do

I have no idea who you’re responding to, or what your point is. Nobody in this thread ever said anything about an “ironclad one-man-one-vote system”.
Yes, that will give you a chance to grow professionally. Doing same things even in new job is a safe bet but you will stop growing you career. Over a career of 20-25 years you should play different roles and jumping into jobs for which you are not 100% prepared will give you motivation to acquire those skills more quickly than other people. You will notice that after some time because you worked on different things, you will have much broad perspective on anything compared to your peers.
Yes, it's different. One thing is the fragility of people on the verge of becoming or already homeless, another is people (mostly women) living with their families or alone but no immediate risk of been thrown in the streets.
