> You don't need to explicitly visit the red light district in Thailand

Then why do you do it?

> since it's literally everywhere [...] literally at every corner [...] it's literally _everywhere_

Maybe you should have a lie down.

> old, fat, western tourists walk in with young Thai ladies

Why does it matter to you what two strangers are doing? Jealous of the old fat guys? Angry that the "young Thai ladies" aren't with you instead?

> Again, you're projecting.

No, I was asking you why you visit red light areas when you pretend to be disgusted by them. A question you continue to avoid answering for some reason.

> You really don't see the differences - and the social/racial/economic implications - of western, sex tourism?

No. And if you could explain why being raped or abused by Arabs or Asians is somehow better than by "Westerners", you'd be telling me, instead of asking me.

> You don't like that I call out western sex tourists for what they are (perhaps because you are one) and so you're resorting to silly attacks to deflect.

What, like "perhaps because you are one"?

You're not convincing anyone with your pretend disgust at sex tourism when you're absolutely obsessed by it, seeing it "literally everywhere" and seeking it out by visiting red light areas.

> That you're more creeped out by my description of the average western sexpat / thai escort pairing, which objectively, sure is a little bit creepy but 100% accurate, rather than the actual sexualploitation is pretty telling.

The fact that you don't see what's creepy, if not outright sick, about describing people you consider to be victims of sexual exploitation as "young, lithe girls" is what's telling.
For a true random number generator, that's simply a matter of tuning the probability of random failure to be acceptable; e.g. the old FIPS 140-2 randomness tests were calibrated to spuriously fail with probability of (IIRC) about one in a million.

There are problems with testing a random source, but calibration can solve that one. (The bigger issue is that the "true" random going into your (PRNG) postprocessor should be whatever comes out of your best entropy-generating device, which typically isn't uniformly random; and that the data coming out of your postprocessor will look random to a black-box test even if the input contains basically no entropy.)
That sounds like a good one for the EFF to take on if it's true.
Wouldn't that still leave United liable, and only obligate Republic to pay United for their loss?

Probably leaves United in a bad spot, considering Republic is bankrupt and United depends on them for services.
I understand the reasoning, I just think it's wrong. The point of a standard is to, well, standardize. And each new version of the standard breaks plenty of existing (and strictly standards-compliant!) code, often intentionally.

Now a type deduction operator is never going to come to standard C because any proposal will get buried under endless bikeshedding about whether to call it `typeof()` or `decltype()`.

Very cool idea.

Is $165/session competitive with what one would pay outside of Kip ? Seems too high to me, though I don't stay in US.
– I just learned that there are people using our Web browser who don't see our ads. And even worse, they might be seeing our competitors' ads!

– Maybe we could act as gatekeepers so our competitors have to go through us to advertise on our browser? We could wrap it as "only letting in the nice ads" or whatever…

– Brilliant!
My point is that it doesn't matter how United distributes and picks its contractors. It should bare the brunt of the blame and responsibility.
Syria’s Chemical Weapons Kill Chain
I don't know, - I mean the mirror is bulky and a moving part that can break, but the OVF will be better than EVF in many scenarios.

Cameras with a mirror can shoot with an electronic shutter when needed, but will usually need to do so in "live view" on the rear display - i.e. there is no EVF. Cameras without mirror on the other hand can't use an optical viewfinder, but has an EVF.

Obviously the shutter and fps features of this particular camera are impressive and beats most DSLrs, but there is nothing inherent about DSLr's vs mirrorless that prevents all cameras of both kinds to pull this off soon.

I think the size of mirrorless cameras is a cool feature when you slap on a 35/2.8 on it or similar, so you benefit from the reduced size. Throw on a normal 24-70 zoom lens or similar, and the size difference between a DSLr and a mirrorless is gone.

Conversational Intelligence Challenge
I think it gets real ugly once you need nested data structures, the readability goes down (maps of lists of maps). Also, using overloads means it's limited to small arity, e.g. 10.

Not having first class multiline literals really makes it painful to write something like React or GraphQL in Java.

One of the things I give props to MS for is having the courage to evolve C# and TypeScript at a breakneck pace. Each release of TS, they add features I've been wishing for. They seem to be listening to developer productivity issues and responding.

I under Java's desire to preserve backwards compatibility, but they end up breaking it anyway, and make design decisions based on how they can shoehorn things into the older JVMs, but each new release ends up with some issues. Witness how long it has taken folks to migrate to Java8. If we're going to wait years for major releases, then let's make them well worth the trouble when they finally arrive.

All the way down to Rome, occasionally. But please don't call the thing today's northern Italy was part of "Germany". That empire was an administrative framework for nomadic kings that had little to do with today's concepts of nation or ethnicity. If you can't do without mapping to current states, you have to pick Austria, because Vienna is where the Habsburg emperors had their main residence.

It's true that Chrome/Chromium don't support it. [0]

Linux itself certainly supports it [1], and at least Mozilla have some progress towards it happening [2][3][4], if slow progress.

However, we used to have hardware video decoding via gstreamer and VLC within Firefox as plugins, using VAAPI and NPAPI, so it's still possible to get working today.

For the amount of time and effort it takes to become a pilot? Not to mention the constantly being away from your family, and having the lives of thousands of people in your hands month in and month out. 60k is absolutely low.
Fair enough. I think both of your examples exist since JDK 1.0 (or 1.1), though I'd have to look to be sure. I think they've wised up after that.
Yeah I'm generally pro billboard like advertisement - websites need to earn some money off visits and that's acceptable.

Ads that drive me on a different page, cover the full page unless closed or otherwise hamper navigation unless I interact with them first can die in a firey hell.

I've uBlock but youtube and other content creators sites that so far hasn't annoyed me with ads are free to go. I.e. Looking For Group started serving to mobile page redirecting ads, so they went in the blacklist, but until then they were free to serve whatever.

I don't really disagree with anything you're saying.

But that being said, for the times you do need C, what are the better alternatives? C# is managed, solves a ton of problems...and is completely unusable for driver development. C++ just gives you more rope to hang yourself. It seems to me that its danger and utility are inseparable elements of the same ultimate thing.

Not many people bought color TVs in the 1960s. Did their availability make black and white TVs cheaper? Hollywood movies better, or at least more spectacular? Not many people traveled by air back then, but did jet airliners make cars better and cheaper? I think the answers are obvious

I don't think these are as obvious as you might think. Cell phone service is more akin to TV stations or other television service than the hardware used to view it. Black and white hasn't always stayed cheaper: You could buy a "normal" color television cheaper than a small black & white portable, for example. It merely changed.

Hollywood doesn't always do even that bit: I find BBC's "The Hogfather" (based on a Terry Pratchett novel) to be pretty spectacular. I went through a phase of Asian horror films, spectacularly surreal. Bollywood often has some crazy stories. Making cars better is a matter of opinion. Do you have proof that airlines made cars cheaper? Because most of what I find says they've basically stayed the same price for 30 or so years. My understanding was that things like the assembly line and advances in production technology have been the main drivers for vehicle affordability in addition to things like a growing used car market.

>discreetly accepting blame

Have you seen the news and social media lately? United has been the butt of the blame "discreetly" the way James Bond making his way from point A to point B in a city while blowing up, crashing, and destroying everything in his path is "discreet".

Can you honestly name or a remember a PR disaster as bad as this one about any company in the past two years?

I would phrase it as "loudly and publicly accepting blame and a tremendous backlash".

> quite shady and not a clean dodge for united.

The emphasis on the contracted airline seems like is helping United by diverting blame away from its brand. Legally United might be able to dodge a few issues based on it and technically they might be in the right over what they did. Morally and as far as public perception goes, they should bare full responsibility.

> Not having first class multiline literals really makes it painful to write something like React or GraphQL in Java.

Certainly. And that's one of my biggest pain points with Java, but a different point in your list. One day they will exist ... one day. Hopefully.

> Witness how long it has taken folks to migrate to Java8. If we're going to wait years for major releases, then let's make them well worth the trouble when they finally arrive.

I've used every release since JDK 6 in production one or two month after it was released. Once that hurt me (Rhino/Nashorn), but usually it hasn't been a problem. I think people who wait until the last moment when the older versions go out of support to switch JDKs do themselves a disservice out of fear. And fear is never a good reason.
Geany might be able to spit on Paris put taking it is ahole other problem. Germany was never actually close taking Paris.

Calling Russia a paper tiger is complely wrong, just because they were not quite as effective as Britain, Germany and even France does notean they were a paper tiger. Compared to Austria, Turkey amd even Italy they managed a efficent economy and had a huge well trained army. The problem was that the civilian government failed, the militay and economic side were suprisingly strong.

I've already responded to this claim in these comments. For what you say to be true there would need to be a large market of senior developers waiting in the wings refusing to work until wages go up.

You're also assuming the growth in jobs has been steady and predictable which it hasn't a spoiler in demand runs the whole idea that we just need more juniors starting.

The problem is companies can't wait so they can bring in workers who pay taxes here and contribute to the economy or they can move there jobs over seas. I expect we'll be seeing a lot more of the latter going forward.
I'm pretty sure the "we" in the sentence is "humanity" not "my country".

My exact same thought. Sadder still is that someone like me could probably benefit from such technology.
It's incredibly weird when I find myself agreeing with someone on the right. This article is filled with lots of bullshit "its just econ 101" neoliberal cliches (and uses the beloved tactic of the right that "everything I dislike is soviet central planning and a perversion of this clearly natural and non-synthetic notion of a totally free market"). None of that is necessary to what is fundamentally an argument that should rest on moral principles. I prefer this version of the argument: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2013/03/the-case-for-open-borders...
All these returning engineers might be a great opportunity for India.
I mean to say, this article wasn't just a reaction to the particular incident, but also a meta-commentary on all of the articles that read "united did x, united said y, united shouldn't have z" Not so much to shift the blame from united, I agree with you, this situation was/is bad, but it creates sympathy for passengers who are easily overwhelmed and also attacks pieces that reduce it down to something simple.
Thanks, although credit these days rightfully goes to the huge multi-company and org team effort. (In other words, at this point, there are tons of people to blame for those flaky tests!)

Volkswagen was probably just as bad at the time. Now of course most people have kind of forgotten or at least moved on and VW just posted strong Q1 results, handily beating estimates.
I hope the India govt moves fast now. The should take this opportunity to improve local infrastructure and put in reforms for a domestic software economy. The TCS, Infosys & Wipro helped kickstart the software revolution in India but they need to take this to a better conclusion than it is now. We need product based companies in India and we need a strong local domestic market. It needs to retain it's talent at home. Any Indians want to chime in on whether this is likely? I hear great things about Modi.
Yes, there is a tuning problem indeed. I made two parameters user-tunable (the decay and the logarithm factor of the Morris counter), but tuning needs some expertise. I've severe limitations on the number of bits I can use per object, but depending on the user feedbacks I may try some auto-adaptive approach as well in the future.
It seems doable, e.g. have a few neurons observe that the "other" ant's movements seem to obey our own motor neuron's commands.

The consequence wouldn't be that ants are conscious, it would be to question why "self recognition" was made out to be such a big deal.
Thanks for that. I finally found the 'lists' option. However, compared to Facebook it's a ballache to add users to lists. Also there's no filtering option so retweets (something I dislike about twitter) can't be filtered out :(
What is it about the US political system that forces things back towards a evenly split equilibrium?

I don't agree with the typical "vendors on a beach" (move towards the center until you each grab the half that's closer to you) metaphor since it seems to discount the possibility of being so far away from people that they're alienated to the point of non-participation. I could see it being cyclic though between that and periods of recapturing alienated demographics.

Where after you looking with shitty wages and awful working conditions? And what other career paths do you think these people bailed out into that have better pay?
I can vouch for this story. My parents went through this scenario exactly. They had gotten into office cleaning because it was relatively well paying in the 90's. But in the 90's middle men came into the mix.

Someone with better sales ability would win the contract for cleaning office, and subcontract it to someone else. And even that 2nd person might subcontract it to someone else. Eventually, the person really doing the actual cleaning barely made above minimum wage.

What does MBA school call this? Reducing cost? Increasing efficiency? Reducing risk?
Is there an alternative? Can you mathematically prove randomness? (real question I'm not a mathemagician) If you can how do you verify that there is not an implementation bug in the code?

> and they aren't as well trained as united employees

I'm really getting (maybe needlessly) a bit irate over the endless stream of "they didn't have the training" comments each and every time some employee attacks someone. For this incident too but also for many previous ones, in a lot of forums from reddit to local newspaper websites I found this line of reasoning or explanation.

I may get flak for this, but as a German who once (very happily) lived in the US for a decade, the stories as well as the comments seem to come mostly from this country, and I did not notice them (in this number) until this millennium. What's happened in the US, I wonder?

Let me make my position clear: It should be obvious that not attacking people does not require "more training"! That's just being a decent average human being. I don't know what I'm more worried about, the number of incidents (might just be because of ubiquitous smartphones and the Internet) - or that sooooo many people (US-Americans mostly?) seem to think that this is a "training" issue.

To me this seems like a large culture of "it's their fault", meaning "management". Part of it really is, since so much of the work culture (service jobs especially?) is designed to be extremely hierarchical. "Sorry, I can't use common sense, I have to call in a manager, he is allowed to use 1% of his brain but I'm not." (The higher level management is allowed to use ever more brain/judgement.) So it seems the success of this "education" of creating an obedient workforce unquestionably following procedures and rules is too great, it changed the way people think and look at everything, not just those jobs?

While I have no desire to do anything like this, I always wonder how they get away with it, or _if_ they even do.

I remember an Air Crash Investigation where the investigators were surprised to hear that the two pilots sounded completely drunk on the black box. It wasn't alcohol, it was the lack of sleep – the guys had just flown halfway across the USA on a jump seat to start their shift in NYC and slept in an 8-bunk-bed subrental in a suburb.

So, yes, pilot's low wages in USA's regional airlines is an endemic problem that has killed hundreds of passengers.
They are a little verbose, though it is likely not to cause problems here. I suppose that it may slow things down a very tiny bit. The author could possibly have been trying to future-proof it with a bit more verbosity in the face of allowing for other keys (execute-mode, execute-permissions) etc.
