If it's to my bank or email account, no, for the same reasons.
My experience is that Python is much better about this than many other languages in its class, Ruby in particular. It's going to be hard to beat manual pointer/memory management in terms of raw performance, but Python is pretty respectable for an untyped, memory-managed language.
In small doses it's fine, but 2000 line functions whose branches have nothing to do with each other is hard to fit in one's head.

The great thing about statically-typed languages is that they help you write your software instead of giving you a blowtorch and saying "have fun". I know a lot of people find that a bit patronizing, but I'm not one to turn down help (especially from a bot that won't call me on it later).
I had a CEO once tell us the story of previous work in the pet food industry. They had a food product that had low sales and they wanted to discontinue the product. He did what seemed obvious and raised the price.
Sales went up. Customer surveys indicated they thought it was a premium product.
re: https I meant that men-in-the-middle advertising such as by WLAN providers and ISPs is prevented, and rightly so. OTOH, this leads us into monopolism or duopolism which at this point might be even worse. The argument in this context is that whatever action Google does isn't bad per se and absolutely defensible from a security and even privacy PoV, but at the same time is something that helps Google first and foremost. In the same way, Google can present ad-blocking support in Chrome as a pro-consumer measure, when in reality its purpose is to go after the remaining alternative ad network revenue to achieve increasingly difficult growth.

FSF's LibreJS initiative is laudible, and something I'm willing to support with what I'm offering on the web. I found that sites that have content worth reading typically aren't script-heavy and entirely usable without script, or by using either F/OSS JavaScript (including jquery) and "trivial scripts" according to FSFs definition. The notorious exceptions are Google Analytics, ReCaptcha, and maybe Disqus, for which solutions must be found. Google Analytics, and the necessity to make use of it might be a case where Google as a major sponsor of web standards are acting in conflict with a solution based on web standards.

Wrt. ABP my initial gut reaction to paid ABP acceptable ads was extremely negative, but maybe I might reconsider.

The human body adjusts to a remarkable degree. The first days or maybe weeks of a new bike commute can be a sweaty experience but it ceases to be a problem quite quickly. If you were in the gym, that would be your cue to increase workout intensity, but since it's a bike commute, there's no need.

For a grade over a certain percentage and longer than some duration, it is probably indeed the case that sweating is unavoidable. But you can usually trade a short steep grade for a longer shallower grade, even in San Francisco. The absolute worst portions of SF hills are usually only a block or two long and are much more likely to be found where you live, not where you work.

I don't mean that Cassini will shift a moon from its orbit, but the introduction of foreign materials, for example, could change things.

I live in Austin. I ride my bike as long as it's less than 100F (38C) out. Anything above 90F (32C) is pretty hard for me to do without getting sweaty. Fortunately, my office has showers.

Also, I think your advice to ride at a moderate speed is a good one. When I first got into bicycle commuting, I was reading the bicycle subreddit and I was told more than once that it never gets easier, you just get faster. Well, they were wrong. It gets way easier. I understand what they mean by "you just get faster", but I think it's potentially discouraging to new out-of-shape riders like myself.

It gets way easier and for me is almost meditative. My mind wanders like crazy.

wat?
I don't have time right now to explain myself better, it's the minimalism and some features like snoozing emails, quickly marking them as done/low-priority and similar things, which is definitely not something that is connected to Google technology.

> It sounds like you want a client that is tightly coupled with Gmail's features

I actually don't like Gmail that much.

> you're not going to get that with a non-Google client.

Google Inbox used be called Sparrow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparrow_(email_client)), which was a regular app that Google acquired. I used it since the beginning. It was a new paradigm back in 2011, which is now the standard in modern clients.

Thunderbird needs to rethink their approach. They need less buttons and more focus on important features over other ones you barely use. In Thunderbird, everything is given the same importance in the UI. There's a toolbar with 100 buttons of the same size: "Write, Chat, Reply, Reply all, Archive, Address book, Get email, Tag, Quick filter". Why is "Chat" the same size as "Write", and right next to it like it's the most common feature in an email client? Why is "Address book" even there, given the same importance as "Write"? Who browses his address book randomly? Why can't they just show suggestions when I'm in the compose window and I type the first few letters of the person's name or email?

I could go on forever.

Building Facebook today: Is PHP still relevant in 2017?
I use multiple tmux sessions within my tiling wm (i3). A tmux sessions is for management of terminal contexts for a specific task/project. i3 is for managing the set of contexts (terminal, browser, etc) for a task/project in any given desktop and then multiple desktops for different tasks/projects. It's also nice for the sake of having another paste-buffer, but this is perhaps a little idiosyncratic.

At the national level, it's usually the right that is obstructive in making government work better. Like letting Medicare negotiate drug prices so costs are contained. Or defunding regulatory agencies that protect consumers so they can't do their job. I agree though that the left doesn't push for efficiency remotely enough. Procurement is a big mess.
Do you know that keeping your users in a constant state of confusion is not the way to convince them that you're building a stable and secure product?

Also, isn't it kind of ironic that you built your company on OSS and then invited a well known destroyer of OSS onto your main stage?

Plus, I want my DockerCon money back. What exactly did you announce besides multi-stage builds at the general sessions that is actually benefiting Docker users? I don't care about your plumbing and constant rebranding, other than finding it very discouraging, I want to know what you're actually doing with your product this year. I guess nothing.
That's a really nice info to share, i was thinking almost an order of magnitude higher, thank you.

Facebook Aims to Connect Directly to Your Brain
- I have many non-techy friends in their 20ies who don't post pictures or personal stuff to Facebook because "someone told them it's dangerous". They can't articulate the logic around this danger, that is the most surprising.

- None of my sister's wedding pictures are on Facebook because of this reason – It was said loud on the mic during the ceremony.

- My mother is very afraid of having her credit card stolen by a virus in Windows, that's why she always... refuses to install upgrades. It's not so bad: Better an old Windows than clicking on every Update button their find.

- I don't watch people using their phones much, but when I do, I often ask them why they use one workaround instead of going straight to some place. "I was told it's better for privacy" is a frequent answer.

I'm illustrating that non-tech-savvy people aren't ignoring the "privacy" signals. They may be doing the wrong thing in the moment, but they are severely frightened and they do look for ways to protect their privacy.

Not sure about Facebook because I am no longer a user of Facebook. To me Facebook just felt no longer necessary once I understand that it is just trying to trick me to stay on the page by showing me things that are addictive to see or watch.

Interestingly the same network vs feature idea can be said about LinkedIn. Recently they rolled out messaging feature on the main UI like what Facebook had, pretty good move to increase user engagement.
The real solution to this problem is for IDEs to support an editing frontend interface and then editors to be split into frontend and backend so that really you could use them in the context of the IDE.

The obvious example would be using the neo-vim frontend to interact with VSCode, Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.

What I want most is a Neo-Vim frontend to org-mode in Emacs,
because it would be hilarious and because while Spacemacs is kind of cool it's still not Vim. And org-mode is awesome and unparalleled but vim > emacs all day.
Very interesting argument. While the "serfdom" aspect of this is definitely morally repugnant, the most optimistic interpretation I can see for the H1B program is that it is supposedly a way to encourage or select for immigrants with high economic value.

It absolutely does distort the market, but if we are under a political constraint that we can only have X immigrants per year, it does make sense to take the ones that will be working in high-wage sectors, if we are out to maximize GDP.

> It will also ensure that the price of lemons will never reflect the opportunity cost, so the market signals that would bring prices back into equilibrium

Hm, I'm not sure. It seems like restricted immigration would basically move the supply curve for lemons to the right by decreasing cost of wages for lemons (only). Then because avocados are competing for the same land, avocado supply curve will move left.

The result will be more lemons at a lower price and less avocados at a higher price, but they will both still be in "equilibrium". In either case, the rate of return per unit land should be equal for both avocados and lemons, yes?

It seems the main effect of interest to us would be that wages for avocado-growing employees would be higher and lemon-growing employees lower under a restricted immigration policy vs an unlimited one. So, back to reality, I have never thought about the fact that H1Bs are actually good for everyone else's wages (outside the affected sectors) compared to unrestricted immigration.

If we concerned about "fairness", we could note that it might therefore also be more morally sound to restrict immigration to high-wage jobs because it would actually compress wage inequality and the low-wage natives would benefit. The losers in this scenario are high-skill natives and low-skill foreigners.

Launching the Wolfram Data Repository: Data Publishing That Really Works
edge isn't fooled.
Actually you're right. I can see this being one of facebook's bigger high profile flops. After talking to the "Facebook at Work" team at F8 (very very nice people), I thought that they might be in for a rougher time getting their corporate product to compete. According to what I understood, the project is a satellite product being developed in the UK offsite from facebook's HQ in Menlo (and as a result absent from the real leadership's radar). It seems like it will be difficult for them to really penetrate into the non-consumer space without direct line of leadership from upper management like Zuckerberg. This product seems more of an experimental "throw at the wall" and see if it could potentially stick. I am going to agree with you here and say likely no.
The Kekulé Problem: Where Did Language Come From?
At least in the EU, whether the source is cited/linked or not doesn't make any legal difference: If there's no specific exception to copyright that allows what you're doing, you can't copy something, period. And I'm pretty sure Google's use doesn't hold up as either educational (usually doesn't cover commercial services) or as a quotation (usually requires an original work in which another is quoted for illustration/criticism/commentary).

It may be OK in the US "fair use" system, where it's up to courts to decide what's okay – I don't know the case law well enough.
Your comment is the only one in this whole thread that anyone needs to read.
I was arguing that at minimum, he would have to be refunded on the spot. That is the absolute, ground-zero starting point for even beginning to reneg on a ticket sale.

Some contracts include explicit rescission terms. No doubt United's adhesion contract contains some that are overwhelmingly tilted in their favor. But no matter what sleazy terms United puts in for itself, it absolutely cannot get away with keeping the money and refusing the service. That would be beyond the pale. But considering the way airlines operate, I would not be surprised if that is the bare minimum they would do on their own initiative. It takes a government pointing a gun at their heads for them to grudgingly give more.

On a matter of a car, it might be enough to refund the buyer before delivery of the vehicle and before titles were exchanged. After title is transferred, the deal is done. That's like demanding your money back after getting kicked off the plane at your final destination. You got what you bought. That's why if you don't trust your counterparty, it's always safest to pay only when you take delivery.

If you go to a movie theater, the management could refund you to kick you out before the end of the show. At an amusement park, kicking you out would requires nothing more than a refund. In those cases, people are not relying upon provision of those services to make money or avoid additional expenses.

For an airline ticket, there may be a tangible cost to not getting to your destination on time. And the compensation regulations may be designed to account for reasonable consideration. The airline can't know ahead of time that if passenger X is not in city Y by time Z, they will not be able to work at that time and will therefore lose $W as a direct result of their breach. But they should have a pretty good idea that disrupting people's travel plans can cost them, because travel insurance exists.

But that refund is the minimum necessary to revoke one's legal right to be on someone else's restricted-access private property. You have to at least take care of that before calling on the cops to remove someone. It doesn't absolve you of any other obligations resulting from your breach, but would be a gesture that recognized the paying customer's right to be present.
Is there a tool that can do this check as a pre-commit hook?
Snapchat would have to lose ~90% of its value to make the Facebook buyout offer better than the IPO decision. Even during the GFC, the NYSE only lost 50% of its value.

Measuring Snapchat's decision to refuse a buy-out is simple: The investors, founders, and employees all have more money now than they would have had if they had sold. This will be completely confirmed in roughly 100 days (once the lock-up expires), as long as their stock price is above ~$2.50 on August 1st, they're vindicated.

You could make the analysis more complicated with opportunity cost calculations or assumptions about whether they would have received Facebook stock (which has appreciated a fair amount since the buyout offer) but those are all marginal concerns.

Don't forget optical nanoantennas! Essentially a wiggly waveguide- you set up a standing wave inside it and light exits the wiggles at a specific angle, which can be altered by changing the phase of the standing wave.

By having hundreds of wiggles you average out the fabrication error in any individual wiggle and produce an extremely controllable beam. Of course they're still working on the coherent part.

I never understood this. Just rent a dedicated box or ten. There's no capex, it's way cheaper to have 3-5 times the capability you will need just sitting there instead of renting stuff from Amazon with all the I/O unpredictability, complexity, w/e. People talk as if colo and cloud is the only solution -- and I am like, rent dedicated is the only solution. I do not readily know how huge your site needs to be for colo to worth it but Examiner was ~75th on Quantcast and we ran it on a dozen dedicated boxes and colo would'v been ridiculously more expensive.

symbols are designed to be conflated for reality. in our own minds we are interacting with the mental representations of external things and only the external reality by proxy of our mind. cogito ergo sum and other such observations are just pointing out this basic truth: we live in our minds are interact with symbols as the primary objects of consciousness.

the higher-order symbolic systems, like narrative fiction, or mythology, are designed to run with this natural conflation and go beyond merely conflating the symbol with reality, but instead now conflating the symbol with SUPER reality. the symbol now stands for something better than the real. more meaningful, more beautiful, more true than reality could ever be. in other words, it becomes culture, which is more important to people whose lives are embedded within a cultural context than reality is to those people.

the really strange thing about this is that it is adaptive, up to a point. when your daily life is much more about navigating through a culture than it is about navigating through a wildnerness it is perfectly understandable why the cultural symbols become primary in their importance.

this can go too far, of course. the culture can be a deranged, destructive, rapacious, monster of a thing and we know what the consequences of that can be. still, it seems quite clear why stories carry the weight and importance that they do.
In the video, the Continental rep says "120 degree field of view" and "reaching out as far as thirty meters".[1] This may be the short range model for bumper height applications.
ASC has built units with much longer ranges.

For more range, you need bigger collecting optics, which means a bigger unit, or a narrower field of view. The tradeoffs are straightforward.

You also have to spread the laser output over a wider area to keep it eye-safe. The laser eye-safety requirement is on power through a 1/4" hole, corresponding to the pupil size of an eye. This protects people staring directly into the emitter. The power can be greater if the beam is wider. If you devoted the top inch of the windshield to sensors, and spread the laser output over a wide area of windshield, the power could be much higher.

Pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of money trying to increase the demand for these drugs: marketing and sales reps. In the case of Oxycontin, it even looks like they used deceptive practices to do so: marketing the drug as effective at treating 12-24 hours of pain even when this is not the case:
http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/

Seems to me like something similar could happen if these companies were allowed to commercialize drugs like fentanyl and heroin, so in a sense this article is making arguments relevant to demand.

However, I do agree that more should be done to try and curb the demand d for drugs. What do you think would be some good policies that could do that?
You can't differentiate through discrete data structures though. The main reason NNs work at all is because vectors are continuous. Small changes in the input lead to small changes in the output. Then you can work backwards and find out exactly what parameters to tweak.
Having to compile YCM for on an embedded system sounds like quite the corner case, and I can certainly see why you might have issues.
