I asked for an example of the kind of regulation 'zeteo was complaining about (ones that involve "hidden flaws," "regulatory capture," "the revolving door," and/or excessive "compliance cost").

Whether or not it would be a good idea to permit foreign airlines to operate domestic flights, such restrictions are open and straightforward protectionism. They are not some "tiny exception in article 57 paragraph 30" that a regulator snuck in weeks before being "hired by the affected companies at a multiple of their previous salary."
I'm trying this route as well. ST is so much easier to use and learn because it's like all the other editors I've ever used. Vim is completely different in everything, it's an entire other language.

My underlying thought is though, that if I can become fluent in Vim's world, the layer between thought and coding becomes thinner.

I do want to write a translators guide from ST to Vim. Simple things like 'Tabs = Buffers' (which are different to Tab pages) I had no idea about until recently.
The way it's usually sold is as a bonus for those with shorter hours, at first - then later the shorter hours price goes up to the previous price.
The state should not be regulating for mandatory tipping, they should be regulating for minimum wages that people can actually live off without requiring tips. I sympathize with drivers but I will not be adding a tip to Uber or Lyft. These drivers should be using their union powers fighting for adequate wages if that's what they need.
This was my guess based on having recently read "The Rise and Fall of American Growth" when this study first dropped. [1] The argument he makes in the book is that a big part of the productivity jump we saw in the middle of the last century wasn't entirely due to the stimulus of WWII as most people assume, but was a synergy of that plus the reduction of workplace injuries, etc, related to the 40 hour work week.

Was frustrated at the time that they seemed to be jumping to conclusions so quickly regarding something that could be transformative to society.

Why are these books always focused on a fast learning principle? I really don't think anything useful can be made from 90 minutes of quick reading. It's a great refresher for people that didn't work with the language for a while. Now I remember python's annoying indents.
This just points to a problem that computer science concepts need to address: the conflation of subroutines (reusable components of programs) and runtime calls/returns. Or, stated more directly, programmer control over inlining and other costs, on the way to enabling more zero-cost abstractions.

One big problem is that one can't deploy the existing methods of zero-cost abstraction (templates/monomorphized generics) across process boundaries or the kernel/userspace boundary. Let's work on this, not act as if abstractions themselves are the problem.

(As an aside: I think the "implementation inheritance" aspect of OOP is at least as harmful as jblow suggests. "Associate related pieces of data with the code that operates on them as a unit" is a pretty reasonable idea on its own.)

I still have an account because of an IRL social group that likes to do event planning through FB Events, but that and using Messenger to communicate with one person are the only reasons I still have an account.

FB and Instagram were only contributing guilt, anxiety, and FOMO to my life, and I am so much better off without them. Weirdly, I've gone back to Twitter, but I only follow one person that I know IRL there. Twitter is great for news and weather.
What I thought of, when I read that was that perhaps the shrinking is related to reduced blood flow or reduced blood absorption (does blood pressure raise or lower during sleep?) and this is also related to sleep itself, in the same way that a chokehold causes unconsciousness by restricting the oxygen reaching the brain
> What planet is this guy from? Of course it makes sense to charge high fares for a scarce product in high demand, and low fares for an abundant product in low demand.

Agree. Not to mention spoken by a person who almost certainly has never run a business. And make no mistake 'charging high fares' when you can allows you to lower the price of other seats and fees. Eliminate that excess profit and it will be made up somewhere else in the pricing scheme. No different than concerts or alcohol or premium water in restaurants.
I think a better analogy is that it's like having many pairs of dice, and rolling each pair in turn until you get a roll of 12. Then concluding "this particular pair of dice must be loaded".

Presumably, the researchers did not select rivers at random to study, they selected this river in particular because of the changes it is undergoing.

It's less common than it used to be but it still happens in the US. As someone else said, mostly business chain type places although it's often waived if you belong to their loyalty club, book directly with the hotel, have a corporate rate, have a conference rate, etc. So it's nominally there for a fair number of hotels but I'm not sure the last time I actually ended up paying.
You're likely to get over 100 hours out of BoTW. Even if that were the only game you ever got, you are only looking at around $3.50 per hour of fun. That's not terrible.
I'm sure I am, because I prefer staying in actual flats and cottages, which is why I use Airbnb in the first place (that and price). On the other hand I don't see many listings that don't fit that description, and I always select the 'entire home/apt' filter, which presumably is where hotel-like operations would show up. It must vary a lot by local market.
Thanks for that great honest comparison. We're working on caching support.
Can you expand on this idea or provide examples and how it solves problems with the old model? What current UI system better models the concept you are talking about? Do web pages do this better?
In the past I've looked at some models of games. Most human playable adventure games have a fairly small state space, unless you do something cute like embed chess in it :)

The only tricky bit is you want to avoid modelling the exact pixel location of every object / player if at all possible, but need to make sure your simplifications don't end up hiding some unsolvable corners.
That is my point of view as well. I changed it to your paraphrasing, though.

I have tried Evolution off and on ever since Ximian released it back in the day. It always seemed buggy and bloated (even a year or two ago when I was just using it for Calendar integration I would find freak out and eat up 100% cpu randomly). I always went back to mutt or sup, or more recently I tried Geary. Recently (<6 months?) I tried evolution again and I am blown away with how reliable it is. The search is great, everything works. It's not a very exciting e-mail client, but it gets the job done better than any other (while integrating very nicely into gnome).

That's why it's not contradictory. The courts have (finally) been reining in the president. (It would have been nice if it started a decade or two ago, but Trump is, as you say, something of a unique threat, and that may be concentrating minds in the judiciary.)
Hacknet – Labyrinths
Have you seen the "super-resolution" results with faces and NN?

Imagine grainy CCTV footage as evidence in court. A serious image analyst may attempt using super-resolution to obtain the face of a suspect.

But a NN could happily insert a very plausible face that looks great. It could have little to do with reality, though.
It's perfectly logical I would say. You could argue that these individuals have seen the bigger picture, and realize that them doing the "logical" thing would disadvantage them over others. Not only that, but it's also perfectly logical to think that by the time these envionmental things become issues, we'd have come up with technology to combat/mitigate them.

Well if you're Russian (or one of the many other nationalities that uses a Cyrillic character set), then that's still not going to help you. If you visit аррІе.com (all Cyrillic characters) you wouldn't get any warning that it wasn't apple.com (all Latin characters). It's a rather euro-centric solution to the problem.

The thing is, why should an English speaking person get a warning when they visit a Cyrillic url, but a Russian speaking person doesn't get a warning when visiting a url with Latin characters? Why is apple.com assumed to be legitimate and аррІе.com is considered the fraud?

In fact I'm almost sure that browsers originally used to disable IDNs using some kind of scheme that relied on language preferences back when they first started being used. I suspect they eventually abandoned that approach for this very reason. It only seems like a good idea if you're English speaking (or at least some other Latin-based language).

New Firefly Species from California Discovered (2015)
Doesn't make sense from a business perspective. It's not like a Linux desktop is some new bet -- marketshare is small. Intuit barely supports the mac and even that is relatively new. Adobe has a disproportionate number of mac users for a variety of reasons, but that isn't the norm. With android and iOS already being 2 new platforms with little code shared, adding another platform that has little growth potential isn't cost effective.
I understand, but be aware that neurotoxic and neurotoxin are words used in scientific literature. "Toxins" in the context of the brain is completely OK.

Anybody know if and when desktop CPU's might start getting FPGAs? Been waiting for that for a while now...
The "a while back" qualifier here is important. Both Mesos and Kubernetes are relatively new projects in a rapidly moving space. FWIW we are running Kubernetes 1.4x with multiple redundant masters in production with no problems. We are also running Mesos/Marathon internally. These projects did have major issues early on but now they are becoming much more robust.

For control we are using CoreOS with kube-aws. It actually works quite nicely as we can scale and upgrade running clusters. The only issue with it right now is upgrading and managing etcd.

I think the whole issue with OpenStack is the overambitious goal to be a one stop from bare metal servers and switches to applications. Kubernetes with Flannel or Calico can take care of the software level networking and provisioning, while there are a lot of other ways to provision VMs for running Mesos or Kubernetes depending on where you are deploying.
Faces stiff competition from the more standard WTF
Depends on what you mean by "more complex". This uses cbmc, a formal model checker that runs relatively fast, and that doesn't require writing excessively complex formalisms to ask "is this state reachable". The README mentions a variation on this approach that scales to larger games.

Now, if you built a game isomorphic to a traveling salesman problem, or other exponential problem, then the model checker might have a problem with that. But so would a human; such a game would get extremely tedious. So, I'd venture as far as "this should scale to adventure games that humans enjoy playing".

I purchased a newly released book the other day that was from a seller and listed way below market rate, order was cancelled and refunded within a couple of hours. Noted the user had 2-3 of pieces of feedback from years ago, but appeared to have thousands of new books listed at crazy low prices that also presumably did not exist. Any idea what the scam is there?

Amazon Marketplace is a cesspool, definitely affects my confidence in the brand. I try and order items directly from Amazon now, but have heard that even those supply chains can contain a lot of co-mingled counterfeits.
'Intellectually dishonest' is still name-calling in the sense of being a generic pejorative that adds no information. So it still breaks that guideline. As shortimer pointed out, it isn't about personal attacks. Personal attacks are certainly not ok here, but other things are not ok too.

The guideline contains practical advice for how to edit the name-calling out of these things: simply shorten them. In this case, "Comparing X to Y is intellectually dishonest [or asinine]" can be shortened to "X is not Y".

We could tax use of fossil fuels. That means direct consumption, if you drive a car, or indirect if you buy products shipped on fuel hungry ships, or strawberries flown in from half way around the world, and not least electricity from a gas fired power station wherever it is situated. Since we in the G20 consume most of the energy and goods, then we would be paying the most penalty for this.

We would have to trust that our governments actually did something with the money though, not just put it in with general revenue and let the future deal with the problems it was supposed to be paying for.
Sure, but as a consumer it is kind of nice that my chips are probably a little less expensive because server companies are paying more for their chips.

The issue in my mind is that AirBNB actively thwarts attempts by landlords, HOAs, and zoning officials to enforce their contracts. If it was all above-board, I'd have no issues. Truly. But frankly, if AirBNB was compliant with leases, HOAs, and zoning, they'd be out of business. And they know it.

People talk a lot about the free market, but I see a lot of externalities at play here. Am I as a landlord to be held responsible for the damage to my units caused by somebody running a gypsy hotel, in explicit violation of their lease, paying me not one extra penny? Are their neighbors obligated to deal with a bunch of spring breakers partying through the wall, also for free?

This whole thing smells like a bunch of valley billionaires arguing that they should be above the law so they can make their IPO valuation come out right.

Sony's on a huge roll so far in 2017 with HZD (2.6M units in first two weeks), Nier, Nioh, Persona 5, etc. Without releasing anything else, those games are strong enough to push PS4 pretty far in late 2017.

However, for the holiday season, they've got a bunch coming up: GT Sport, Hellblade, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Nex Machina, Yakuza Kiwami, etc.

I'd be very surprised if it turns out that there's not a major "computational" element to sleep. Sure, it may be difficult to circulate fluid through a waken beings brain, but I think evolution could have managed. If the "computational resource" is needed for something else though (like running backprop over your neural networks or something :P)... That to me is the only reasonable explanation for the huge evolutionary cost most creatures pay for sleep.
I suspect (but do not know) that you enjoy your sleep because of its restorative effect. If you could obviate the need for the restorative effect, and instead just always feel newly restored, would you still enjoy going to sleep for no reason?

Personally, I dislike the need for sleep. I put it off for as long as I can manage, and try to get as little of it as I can get away with. For me, I have a hard time functioning well with less than 4 hours a night, but anything more then 5.5 hours and I feel like I've thrown the day away. The idea of voluntarily checking out from the world isn't as relaxing to me as picking up a book to read, or learning something new, or doing something productive that isn't work/startup-related.

Either way, I assume that nobody would force you to take a drug that you didn't want to take.

Sure, hubs are a window into air travel history in the U.S. And with consolidation comes these hubs that have a historical reason for being there. And while I certainly understand that the New Yorks and Chicagos will always need to be hubs I have trouble with airlines exposing travelers in New York or Chicago to the vagaries of weather in Denver or Minneapolis. It seems these airlines could move some of these "historical hubs" into places with more favorable weather conditions.

I am not trying to slight Denver or Minneapolis in any why I'm just using them as an example. It just seem that a strategic rebalancing of hub locations might make help with delays and rescheduling. The situation now seems to be the airline inherited the hub through consolidation and that's where it will stay because they're too cheap to move it.
