Forget about Xilinx marketing. I am curious, what did you find causes a design fall outside the '20%' usecase situation? Are you talking about asynchronous clocks? feedback? IO configurations? or what? Why do you say HLS should not be based on C++? Is this related to concurrency or something else? I am not disagreeing with you necessarily. I would say that C++ has the good/bad quality that it is possible to express the same thing 20 different ways. Also, the behavioral simulation is vastly faster. Given that a design has to be done in a limited amount of time realistically, there is an advantage to being able to iterate rapidly and make many structural changes to optimize a large design for both area and clock frequency. Only trivial designs or very specific blocks would be hand placed. I want the compiler to do register re-balancing and other optimizations. The same way that almost no-one could beat the performance of a modern C compiler by typing in machine code. Definitely Vivado is not there yet, but it should be.
Never in the history of the world has there been an industry in which it was easier to set out on your own and make things the way YOU want to.
I have to say, this post is a bad example of writing to your audience. Outside of a few communities, even the idea that market efficiency is a goal to be achieved is not generally accepted. You should be more specific in describing the way Glass-Steagal was actually making things worse.
You're absolutely right, I totally got that wrong. Thank you for the correction.

I propose the following solutions:

1. A building's minimum height is dictated by the demand in the area; your existing building can stay, but if you want to bulldoze and rebuild as a developer, you must build up if the local real estate demand dictates so (I don't have enough experience to determine how you'd calculate demand, perhaps trailing rents for the last 24 months?).

2. Renters rights remain in place, with the government providing subsidies and relocation assistance when necessary (funded by a special property tax on non-owner occupied units).

An equilibrium can be reached, but the idea of "property rights" will need to change a bit, with the understanding that a healthy neighborhood is more important to society than you having full control of your property (which is already the case, considering zoning laws and what not).

>> Google had search and used that to prop the rest. Simple.

Because the "simple" strategy is predicated on a market-dominant search product. It was simple for them, but extremely hard for anyone else—because Step 1 is "supplant Google with 75% market share".

We've been using PaX/Grsecurity on Debian( as server) and Linux Mint( as Desktop) for a while. It's working perfect fine until now. You can also tweak the reproducible builds as well:

As exmaple of Linux Mint:

macOS is popular among developers, so it's a good option, because almost every software piece will work there. iOS development is hardly possible outside of macOS and I have iOS work sometimes, so it's useful for this too.
> Rather, people with web programming expertise don't get acqui-hired anymore, because those skills have diffused through the population enough that you can get them easily on the open market.

And not necessarily even by hiring anyone - a lot of the stuff that a decade ago you needed a reasonably competent programmer for, have become commoditized in the form of services or even opensource solutions. For example, you needed at least a programmer and a designer to build a website for your company, or had to buy those services from another company. Whereas nowadays you can set up a wordpress site, buy a nice looking template, set up a medium blog, or a shopify store for a few bucks a month. Of course, if you want custom stuff, you have to pay someone to customize it but it no longer requires as much of the knowledge you needed to build a site from scratch.
Apologies for the misdirection. I posit that JSX exists because having a separate scripting language (JS) from the display language (HTML) is actually a pain from the scripting point of view. So, yes, nothing to do directly with HTML & CSS, but everything to do with the mess that is all of them.

And this is highlighting where we agree to disagree. I consider it somewhat of a strength of TeX that it is a single language for what it does. Makes scripting it much easier to consider. (Far from easy, I grant.)

As for tooling. Tooling is almost always strictly a matter of labor. More people working with it would have produced tooling that was what people wanted. Consider how terrible the tooling for early web was.

But again, I do not think you are wrong, per se. It would take an empirical argument without appeal to beliefs to convince me that one is truly better than the other. I just happen to like the TeX way in absence of these experiments.

...Steven T. Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, has pledged to return the mortgage finance giants to free-standing publicly traded companies, a development that could make Mr. Paulson’s funds big profits. Mr. Paulson and Mr. Mnuchin, a former hedge fund manager, once worked together to pull OneWest Bank out of the wreckage of IndyMac, a lender that the federal government seized in 2008."

> This is because randomness can be seen as a matter of incomplete knowledge. Determinism is independent of our knowledge.

I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference. "Determinism" as you're describing it is an interpretation with no practical implications.

You can imagine a god controlling every "random" event in our universe by selecting the outcome from "the big book of outcomes" and claim that everything is deterministic. You can also imagine the god consulting a D20 instead, and claim that everything is non-deterministic. The former makes randomness a function of our lack of knowledge and the latter makes it truly random. These two scenarios are equivalent and neither is falsifiable, though, making the distinction meaningless. From your perspective, random events are still non-deterministic.
Possibly. From the economist (http://www.economist.com/news/china/21586845-flawed-system-j... [2013]):

As China tries to take its seat at the top table of global academia, the criminal underworld has seized on a feature in its research system: the fact that research grants and promotions are awarded on the basis of the number of articles published, not on the quality of the original research.

To be clear, there are plenty of high quality Chinese academics writing high quality papers, and I read somewhere that the Chinese government is well aware of the problem with fake journals and trying to address it, but it looks like the Chinese scientific community has even bigger problems of perverse incentives than elsewhere in the world.
I don't get it. How are they in the real estate business?
Engineers build small things that have huge impacts. The Linux kernel, the ARM core, the internal combustion engine, the atomic bomb.

As a profession, software engineers have very weak ethical standards. We have no Hippocratic oath, we have no iron ring. We might not be happy about it, but we'll release code that we know to be dangerously buggy, we'll cooperate with surveillance agencies, we'll design systems that exploit users, we'll build products that are sold to the governments of Saudi Arabia or Libya.

If software engineers were collectivised, we could refuse to do all of this shady stuff. Any software engineer tasked with doing something unethical could simply say "I'm not doing that, I'd lose my license". By establishing a professional body equivalent to the Bar Association or the General Medical Council, we could throw a giant wrench in the machinery of evil.
Interesting point of view from the labor side. I wonder if there is a bit of technological curve the US doesn't have as well in design and setup of manufacturing facilities. let alone the machines that make machines.
Wow, yeah, this one is really blatant. I'm surprised they use the ".desi" domain, I automatically equated that with unprofessionalism (for lack of a better, less insulting word).
I guess I would be in favor of some fraud checking, but I'm afraid that it will quickly degenerate into harassment of people who don't look "handicapped enough". As for why it makes no sense to charge for license renewal - the person already has to get a note from a doctor saying they're eligible, and going to that doctor costs money. After that the state only has to authenticate the doctor's note and issue the placard. Remember, there's no inherent right to a handicapped parking space. The whole system was just made up to help disabled people. It would be completely inconsistent to add hassle and fees to the system. Anyway flat fees hurt poorer people harder, so it's aggravating inequality to begin with. And disabled people probably make less money than average, so that's even worse.

~"even if they come back, it will be robots" - it fascinates me that people trying to make the case that the jobs will never come back rely on this line. They leave off the other half, which is that _manufacturing_ can come back, with some jobs, just not with as many jobs as before the loop closed.

So, yes, it is basically true, but it is also misleading. The jobs aren't coming back to China, either, or anywhere else. And this isn't new at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT6aphdX0rI
