I agree, and that has been my experience as well.

I tend to use GSA's published rates as a benchmark to vet reasonable cost when shopping around. It's typically the case that I can find lodging accommodations that are appreciable less expensive, but they're almost always at establishments of questionable quality.
I'm downvoting you for being profoundly shitty and mean, not because I disagree with you.

I do disagree with you, as it happens, but I'd downvote this sort of thing if I agreed too. There's a difference between bluntness being read as rudeness and what you're doing. Stop.

I agree that it's the number #1 reason that a person should use ad blocking. Not only are ads delivering malware but given how much of our lives and personal information pass through a browser the ads should be considered malware themselves.

However, is security the #1 reason that users choose to install them? Nah, they get installed because ads are annoying.

I say this as a cautionary tale, the most dangerous thing ad networks could do is clean up their act. If ads start being unobtrusive or native users wont be driven to install ad blockers while the rampant tracking and invasion of privacy continues in the background.
I dunno, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if you are right, but I also think the definition of "acceptable" advertising tends towards the "no advertising at all" side of the spectrum.
You're still trying to apply this same analogy in a case it doesn't fit. A medicine can have negative effects and still be useful (withdrawn drugs are only withdrawn when their are no longer needed, usually because of a safer alternative). However, if a drug that cured cancer but resulted in birth defects existed, it would not be banned very easily. Putting asbestos in your body will not cure cancer, and so taking them out of the market doesn't leave anyone in a worse position ("dying in agony" in the words of the GGGP). Attacking the supply may work when it is an industrial material, but outlawing opioids completely would be much more catastrophic. Not only would it not work (why does heroin exist? or why did non-alcoholics still purchase alcohol during prohibition?), but it would also cause specific harm to patients who are in need of the medicine.
>Many users will install ad blockers to get rid of the ads on YouTube alone

This is the interesting part to me. I'm not completely sold that Google's idea of what ads are "the worst" is really true.

Without an ad blocker, I can dismiss irritating popups in a second. But I have to wait for YouTube ads.

I also suspect many people are unaware which things in a Google search result are ads. While the ads Google is calling out are irritating, they are at least obviously ads, and thus...less misleading.

Of course private sector unions can bleed companies dry. The difference is that I am not involuntarily invested in said companies that are being bled dry. That is, I suppose, unless the government jumps in to bail them out.

In some cases, these teachers have openly abused students, but it is very hard to prove such cases even though there is proof (some level of irony applies here).

Here in Maine, we either don't have a teachers union, or it is not a problematic cancer like it is in California and New York, and we still have problems firing toxic teachers that have actively harmed students.
"Google is implementing an industry group standard." There are two ways to buy ads on the internet: Google or Facebook. I don't think facebook sells ads on publisher sites. So if you are a publisher, you better do what google wants - they are only guys with inventory.
Check out Handsontable or Ag-grid. This is a market you can address and sell immediately too. Lots of us are keen to build internal tools that do spreadsheet in the front end and server on the back end. If you can build a turnkey aoliti2for the web (with an API), that's easily monetizable.
In particular, if they're so confident about the absurdity of the critiques, they should publish those as well. Maybe dentists have some real concern that these inventors are dismissing out of hand - the best way to dispel that, if false, is to make it public.

When the Washington Post has a Browser with 70%+ of the market and Facebook is the biggest advertiser on the web (they currently only advertise on their properties) then it will be balanced. As it stands, Google has a very unbalanced influence on implementation and the standards themselves.

You can get nominal typing in C by wrapping your primitives in single-element structs. Slight syntactic overhead, no runtime overhead. In my C code, I try to avoid passing primitives between functions. It worked out well on my last large C project.

That's not true. As anyone in the power industry will tell you, Indian coal, tho voluminous in availability, has a relatively very low calorific content and relatively much higher Ash content. As a result, disposal of ash is far more expensive than project economics can sustain. As a result, imported coal IS the standard, domestic coal may be used as a supplement, and long term supply contracts from local traders who import from sites in Indonesia, et al. is commonplace.
Western NGOs don't like it.
No one choose a job based on the union. How many unions in the private market can really claim you wont get fired.
What an idiotic response. He didn't say if you spend 15 minutes setting up the site you will make $5,000 per month. He said if you have content that 15,000 people a month find valuable, and if you could charge them 1 cent per hour on the site, you could make $5,000/month and that the setup costs were negligible. You're actively being ignorant. Just stop it.
This is incorrect. Local, domestic coal has significantly worse project economics, which is why local plants prefer the imported variety.
You might need to clarify if you actually mean scrapping them by law, or just as a general personal scrapping. Some people seem to assume by law.
Other content in this article makes me a bit nervous.

For example, it strongly implies at several points that the dental association has a conspiracy to keep patients using less safe technology because it leads to recurring surgeries:

> No one can argue against this logical access to immediate implantology.

> Surgeons like simple titanium screws because they mean more surgery. More surgery means more money.
First, the Articles of Confederation were superceded by the Constitution.

Second, Article XIII of the Articles states the union will be perpetual:

"Every State shall abide by the determination of the United States in Congress assembled, on all questions which by this confederation are submitted to them. And the Articles of this Confederation shall be inviolably observed by every State, and the Union shall be perpetual; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in any of them; unless such alteration be agreed to in a Congress of the United States, and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every State. "

So I really don't know where you're coming from with this comment.
How i got my ex back
Why are people still finding it difficult to get their ex back when someone like priest tokubo is there to help them. My boyfriend broke up with me a week ago. We dated about 4 months. I did everything for him whenever he needed help with something, I love him so much and cared about him a lot. I never asked anything from him. I have no kids and a good well paying job. Everything was so perfect and good between us. He told me he would take me ring shopping and we would settle down and have a baby together. Everything was great. We met each other families and everyone told us we were perfect for each other. Out of nowhere he surprisingly left me to be with another girl, so i met a friend who gave me this Phone number +2349037990322 of this spell caster tokubo to contact him, i contacted him because i was so heartbroken and don't know what to do with myself but after 3 days of contacting Mr tokubo, my lover came back to me. if you want your ex or lover back you can call him with that phone number or add him up on whatsapp because he on whatsapp with that phone number above
It's payments. Miss a single row and customers will balk and scream at the missing $.45 that they think they are owed. Better to buffer with a longer SLA until you feel very confident that your pipeline is bulletproof before you try to approach 24 hours or less.
You are right we shouldn't be focusing on on per capita emission.

Arbitrage opportunity?
Doing a bunch of stuff in high school is a pretty big indicator that you are from an affluent school and/or an affluent background. The rest of us had after school jobs or chores. Never mind the parents that can arrange those unpaid internships. As to after school clubs, we didn't have any because we didn't have the money to pay teachers to stay around.

If a school actually care about the diversity of its students, then judging on these activities self selects a much narrower socioeconomic background.
Also, you're absolutely wrong about imported coal plants being rare. I don't know of any critical or super critical plants that could use 100% domestic coal without having to blatantly lie on their EIA study about ash disposal. It's just not viable.
SeaGlass – Enabling City-Wide IMSI-Catcher Detection
Because of experience with large companies. Why would you think they wouldn't do this when this sort of "self policing" has pretty much always ended the way the OP suggests?
I used 2.1, it has all the same flags, and I did turn them on because they're not enabled by default. It's completely insane without those flags, but even with them enabled I still ran into many surprises. For example, like the other poster mentioned, its handling of variance is simply appalling.

And no, Flow is MUCH more sound, I have worked with both. Flow's limitations tend to be false negatives (code that should ideally work does not compile as is) whereas Typescript's are false positives (fails to detect type errors).
This is extremely reckless investment advice.

Active trading, by definition, incurs higher transaction costs than passive investing. Since transaction costs are generally priced per trade, active trading is more costly on a percentage basis for individuals with less capital.
I don't remember my high school report card having a difficulty rating on the class. I would be very interested in data on the number of high schools that do this weighting.
You're pretty much preaching to the choir here; but the position I hear most often is that when we're selecting the students we want to have as part of the university community, we should pick students who will contribute something to said community (beyond "mere" academics).

In some cases, I see students' extracurricular activities as demonstrating an ability to dedicate themselves to a cause or pursuit; that sort of perseverance is important in higher education. But in most cases that sort of dedication goes along with extraordinary success of the sorts you mention. (My personal scholarship assessment rubric actually includes a specific value for "competed in the Olympics or equivalent level of international competition".)
It's a thing in the US too, especially in high-end athletic circles with traveling teams, etc (the flip side of the argument is that elite athletic prospects can't fit traditional high school schedules into their routines easily).
"The new Ad Experience Report helps publishers understand how the Better Ads Standards apply to their own websites."

Only Google could put something that forces all websites to A) use this tool and B) comply with this tool, or else, as a "helpful tool for publishers".

When you have a 70%+ market share (Chrome Desktop and Android browsers) you leave websites with ads no choice but to do what you want, how you want, and hope for the best.

If you've looked at the tool, you realize it's going to work just like Mobility reporting and Safe Browsing. Google will tell you there's a problem and take action. In this case, the action is to cut your revenue. I'm sure there will be a hotline to call if it makes a mistake though.... (that's a joke)

Shame on you Google.

Wrt "run with no cache": is a shared DRAM that much better than a shared cache? The DRAM state is affected by what previously accessed it, in fact DRAM effectively has an SRAM on-chip "cache" keeping the current active row per bank. ("Cache" in quotes because it's a bit crummy if you think of it as a cache - there's just one way, #lines is 4-8 and their size is measured in kilobytes - but technically it's a cache.)

>Out of curiosity, what purpose does sarcasm serve you?

"Ha ha, only serious". Gentle mockery can be a non-threatening way of expressing grievances and telling people difficult truths. A joke can be a very useful way of letting someone know that they're annoying us, that their work isn't up to par or that their haircut is unflattering. It's why the British excel at it - we're not very good at blunt truths, so we tend to make a joke of things.

A classic example might be the British way of greeting someone who is late - a gently sarcastic "nice of you to join us". It gets the message across without being a direct admonishment. Most of us would be unwilling to directly criticise a colleague for slacking, but we'd find it far easier to sarcastically remark "you must be rushed off your feet".

Nobody wants to be surrounded by relentlessly negative people, but uncritical cheerleaders can be just as harmful. Sometimes we need to be told things that we don't want to hear, lest we turn into vainglorious prima donnas, drifting through life with a total obliviousness to our obvious shortcomings. Sarcasm, irony and gentle mockery can make that bitter pill a little easier to swallow.

After smoking a good amount I had a similar experience in which it seemed, as you said, that I stopped forming short term memories. I also had a nearly constant sensation of "just having woken up," as if every minute or so I was regaining consciousness after having been asleep. I even asked my friend several times, "Was I asleep?" to which the reply was always, "No, you've just been sitting there."

The 10th amendment does not grant sovereignty.

It reads:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Two of the powers granted to the United States are the power to print money and the power to raise an army. There are plenty of other powers that states lose to Congress, but you can't be sovereign without those two atleast.
I am a young Indian. I have a dream . The dream that we are running electric vehicles. We have banned plastic everywhere. We have stopped burning our garbage. We have improved air quality. I think we can start with auto-rikshaws and public transport. Auto rickshaw constitute to a lot of traffic and pollution in the cities. We could replace them with smart electric ones. They move around only in cities so it won't be a big problem to build charging infrastructure. Then we could replace buses and increase their number. Ofcourse we need a lot of subsidies and incentives to make it happen. But it is POSSIBLE. but I need to build billion dollars companies ,sell them . Then use all that money to build this dream. I think someone did something like this in USA right? ;)

Evidence-based Technical Analysis by David Aronson is a great intro.
When I was in high school in the Dallas area, AP classes were all weighted one-step-up-the-scale. A's were 5, B's were 4, etc.

I forget the max GPA in our class, it was somewhere between 4 and 5, but I don't think it was the theoretical max you could get if you took as many AP classes as possible and got A's in all of them.

Colleges weren't stupid about it, either, though. My brother had a lower GPA since he went to a smaller school with very few AP classes available, but did better relative to that curriculum than I did relevant to mine's, and he got more scholarship offers and quicker admission offers at the schools we both applied to. Even though my SAT was 10 points higher.

The absolute amount is not very useful since you have uneven binning: the size and population of countries varies dramatically.

Why Does Deep Learning Not Have a Local Minimum?
Transferwise is stupidly expensive. Costs about $140 in fees to transfer $10k from US to Canada vs. ~$0 for BTC depending on how sophisticated you are in timing the trade.
A counterbalance here though is that the global trend is making coal a poor investment. People building power plants do it for the return - and they won't do it if they can get a better return elsewhere.

That's really the tipping point for solar - if it can provide a better return then coal plants. It's getting close, but the significant thing is that solar scales so much better then coal because you can build it anywhere - minimal environmental impact statements, no real supply lines other then grid access, minimal staffing and maintenance. If a straight up solar farm can provide a reliable return on investment over coal power, then no one is going to bother building coal plants any longer unless tax-breaks rain from the heavens (which they might).

And the kicker is very much that scalability aspect - solar doesn't even need to provide much of a better return then coal plants to beat them, it just needs to be deployable in such volume that the obvious investment strategy becomes "build solar".

And we're getting there - fast.

I have no idea why someone would expect user-level pseudothreads to execute across system-level primitive boundaries.. seems fairly obvious to me.

I don't expect a chrooted daemon (e.g. apache, etc) to have access to parent thread contexts.. etc.

Fork & pipe IPC shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to understand, beyond that, if you don't understand these things, you probably shouldn't be writing code that complex..
> I can't understand anyone who would compare Rust against C in a positive way without possibly profiting from it.

A year or so ago I wrote a Postgres extension in Rust. It was a real delight to have a package manager and to only have to worry about allocations within Postgres.

But whenever I want to code a big hairball without libraries or namespaces and use autoconf and all that great stuff, I still stick with C.
It's slightly inaccurate in that it doesn't mention any other routing protocol than BGP. BGP is used between Autonomous Systems, but within ASs usually other routing protocols are used.
Interesting. Looks like in Inkscape he uses the OS's font-rendering engine to render the text in the chosen font, then converts the rendered font to an SVG path.

So the benefit appears to be text that is guaranteed to fit a particular pixel-width (minus any anti-aliasing discrepancies among browsers). The cost would be baking one particular OS's font-rendering idiosyncrasies into the SVG-path page titles, but that's partially hidden by the choice of thick bold-faced fonts that hide hinting discrepancies (plus using all caps).

Makes me wonder if one could infer which OS he used to generate the SVG title by converting the text to a path on each platform where Inkscape runs, then comparing each to his SVG title.
