Veteran suicide rates are comparable to civilian suicide rates, and even including all combat and terrorism deaths in the last 20 years together we're at around 10,000, compared to 35,000 opioid deaths in just 2015.

And honestly, the Iraq war is as related to terrorism as vending machine crush deaths. That was our dumb fault. That was a military industrial complex power grab.

My Indeed.com API client, which eliminates duplicates, shows 39 Perl jobs by title search in London compared with 405 Python and 166 Ruby. For the UK it's 64 Perl to 741 Python and 274 Ruby. So most of the Perl jobs are London-based. To put it in perspective, the same stats show Golang with only half the number of Perl jobs.
@sbarre what makes you think that the payouts will not punish the offenders? are the pharma, not one of the categories of offenders in this case? Just curious.

I have given Firefox plenty of chances. It's just too slow: webpages load slower, and when they are loaded interactions feel awful (low FPS on large webapps).
No one is expecting liberal journalists to turn conservative. What we need is for liberal journalists to take conservatives seriously. If the liberals really are right (and I think they're righter than the right) then they should be able to address conservative grievances within their own framework. But in recent years, they haven't been. Encouraged by Obama's success, the liberal establishment has determined that conservatives are all racist sexist homophobic rubes and can be freely ignored. That's how you end up with Connecticut, currently a wasteland where the taxes are unusually high even for a New England state, but public satisfaction in public infrastructure and services is low.

If there are ZERO Trump voters among staff at the Times, that is a strong indicator that the Times reporters are spending a lot of time in a bubble, and could benefit by hiring a conservative just to function as devil's advocate (like Fox News did with Alan Colmes).

> the top fifth of the income distribution—broadly, households with incomes above the $112,000

These are not rich oligarch industrialists at all.

If your total household income, husband and wife together, is $112k, you're middle class in most of the country. In some areas like the Bay and Manhattan, you're lower middle class. You generally don't have access to subsidized rent and you don't get subsidies for health care.

Making people at this level earn less so everyone will be more equal just means more fall into poverty.

A better solution is to focus on returning skilled high pay jobs to the US in order to get more people into higher brackets.

> Income growth has not been uniform within the top fifth, of course: a third of the income rise went to the top 1 percent alone. But that still left $2.7 trillion for the 19 percent just beneath them.

2.7e12/326.e6*.19 = $1574 increase each on average. For the income range discussed, this is just barely keeping up with the rate of inflation.
If you define a class by the top 20% of income earners, then you can never have a "classless" society. You'll always have a mathematically top 20%. That's an entirely different idea than say nobles versus peasants or racial apartheid.

I liked much of what the author had to say, but claiming that America has a more rigid class structure than a nation with a hereditary monarchy seems like a stretch.

Here's a good overview from the emscripten author: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/03/why-webassembly-is-faster-...

TL;DR: much faster parsing over asm.js (10x to 20x faster), parsing should also use much less memory, 10%..20% smaller downloads (when comparing the compressed sizes, uncompressed WASM is several times smaller then asm.js), 64-bit integers (these have to be emulated on asm.js),

> (1) both sides have a decent chance of winning, or (2) one side - or both - hate each other so much that they refuse to settle.

There are three other categories of cases you missed and (1) can and should be divided up further into two categories. The third situation arises when one party to the suit simply cannot afford to lose under any circumstances but somehow can still afford to keep paying lawyers indefinitely. Frequently you will see this with large companies fighting to prevent or delay a class action or against an adverse regulatory decision which poses an existential threat to their industry. $50m in legal bills per year doesn't even register against a multi-billion dollar class action risk.

The fourth situation is when one of the parties has a non-financial incentive to continue the litigation, often from a political perspective. For example, when Hobby Lobby in the US sued to get out of the Obamacare birth control coverage requirement. They would have spent themselves into the ground on that case because the principle mattered more to the litigants than the cost.

The fifth situation is when one or both parties have bad lawyers. We (lawyers) don't like to admit how often this happens, but frequently one of the lawyers just completely misinterprets the law or fails to recognize essential facts. They may oversell the case to the client and then paint themselves into a corner which they can't gracefully back out of, and so drag the case out well past its proper expiration date just to avoid admitting they screwed up.

Regarding your (1) point, the evidence for both sides is roughly evenly matched in some cases, so the judge or jury's interpretation of the facts will dictate the outcome. How people weigh and interpret evidence can be incredibly unpredictable, which may prevent settlement in those cases. In other cases, the law is unclear or unsettled, whether because previous cases were poorly decided, a law was poorly drafted, or the issue is truly novel. So unclear law or unclear facts. In an ideal world, those would be the only reasons that anyone would ever go to court.

All of these situations are extremely rare. In terms of quantity of cases, unfortunately people that hate each account for the overwhelming majority, though that tends to be most common where the parties have a B2C or or close business associate relationship, or in non-commercial litigation (most visibly and notably in family law cases). B2B/arms-length commercial relationship litigation tends by and large to be a more coldly rational affair, though not without exception.

Compressed download size is indeed only slightly smaller (mostly around 10%), but the parsing is much faster, even noticeable for fairly small demos.

Rust and many other languages have WebAssembly targets in the pipeline already. Rust has had a target to play with since last year.

I always get a little annoyed when people talk about benefits of some tax deduction accruing to the "rich". It's not that it's technically wrong but, but rather a sort of a truism - if you can take the max deduction and have a high marginal tax rate you will accrue more benefit (whether it's 529 or mortgage interest deduction).

That being said, you also are likely to pay more taxes both nominally and proportionally if you are benefiting from a 529 deduction - so when you take the revenue side of the equation into account the proposition looks a lot less lopsided...
It is not about running C/C++, it is about running native code (or something approximating it). With the right backend, most languages should be able to target WebAssembly. The other complication with supporting Go or Rust is that, even if the language is memory safe, the code still needs to be sandboxed.
Most people are religious. The odds are that someone with a positive result for explosives residue will be religious.
I guess that's one of the benefits of a great type system. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
You're right. I mistakenly implied that it doesn't happen, but it has happened in my own life as well. I should have said "rarely."

I have noticed, however, that as my career has progressed into more senior levels, automatic raises beyond typical inflation adjustments (2-3% per annum) have become rarer. Thus, I've had to negotiate for raises between promotions.

One of the best things about Flash was that you could pack up all your bytecode and bitmaps and vectors and sounds and fonts into a single compressed SWF file that contained your entire application/game/demo. That made it really easy to do stuff like double-click-able client demos and deliverables for websites. Ditto for Java and JAR files.

Looks like the "compressed bytecode that runs really fast" part is now a reality. I'm hoping they'll work on making deliverable packages that are convenient for programmers and users.

Anyone know if there is there anything like this in the works?

I remember similar things said of their prior ombudsmans (ombudsmen? ombudespersons? ha). I stopped reading NYT when they helped sell Bush's Folly in Iraq, so I don't have a dog in this fight.

I ask because I've been eagerly awaiting the next iteration of journalism. Though I can't guess what that'd look like.

Frederic Filloux (mondaynote.com) has some notions. Mostly how to make it viable.

And I really wanted the Nerd TV 2.0 format experiment to happen (publish all source material as-is, much like we're asking for academics).

And lastly I really wanted the wikipedia model, as envisioned by Clay Shirky in Cognitive Surplus, to become more mainstream, but I don't know why that format isn't replicated more widely.
> I would think gzip should even out most of the difference between a text based and a byte based code.

You would be wrong then. Quoting Unity https://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/06/18/webgl-webassembly-and-f...

"Experimenting with a prototype WebAssembly format on a build of our AngryBots demo, we saw the size of the generated JavaScript code go from 19.0 MB of asm.js code (gzip-compressed to 4.1 MB) down to 6.3 MB of WebAssembly code (gzip-compressed to 3.0 MB). This means that the amount of data the browser needs to process gets reduced by 3.0x, and the compressed download size gets reduced by 1.4x."

So WebAssembly is 1.4x smaller, after gzip.
I agree. There are so many forces at such incredible potential levels of torque that the center wing must be almost entirely full of structural elements... and those probably pass through to the outer wings.

Imagine differing oscillations of pitch or yaw from each fuselage happening at the same time... and at just the right/wrong frequency for the connecting structure.

I'm sure I'm just overly paranoid, but often we find out long after something is built that some "little possibility" was overlooked.
Good question. My initial guess: it is easier for predators to detect/catch fireflies that blink out of sync with the rest of the flock. If all blink in perfect synch, it's just a big flash of light to the predators.
Please explain to me, what happens if you receive a < 30s email which is related to a > 30s email that is being starred for later use? For example:

Servo, which I think is the most important software project in the world, is where it will start to change. That's when those of us who may not be directly contributing code into Servo need to come out and do our thing. I still fondly remember the NYT ad and the crop circle. We should do it all over again.
The author isn't making any of the arguments you attribute to him. If rich people had to choose between redistribution and the guillotine, sure, then redistribution would be in their best interest. But that's not the dilemma rich people face, and there is no indication there will be a violent uprising anytime soon. Activists get ignored, unless they anger the wrong people and then they get squashed. The majority of Americans don't even vote because they have so little faith in the political system. This is not an accident, people are pushed towards apathy because that serves the wealthy.

Spreading the wealth helps everyone from a Rawlsian perspective. But if you're already rich you have nothing to gain from redistribution. If civil unrest starts brewing you can easily skip the country and wait for the storm to pass.

> the US has those differences hidden

Taxi drivers have missing teeth. There is nothing hidden about this. It's in plain sight. Just like the homeless in every city asking if you can spare a dollar. Just like the ostentatious displays of wealth in the "right" neighborhoods. It's impossible not to see this, unless you're a clueless dummy isolated by privilege.
Another poster here showed their own, similar demo of this. There they had each firefly charging like a capacitor. Triggering the light causes the capacitor to deplete. This seems like the better analogy, but more people know what clocks are.
I don't think there is going to be the same level of liability. In the tobacco case, people who started smoking Marlboros were dying from smoking Marlboros. With OxyContin, this isn't the case. E.g.:

- User switches to heroin or some other generic opiate because it's too hard to get a legal prescription and dies.

- User mixes drug with alcohol or benzodiazepines and dies.

- User dies from APAP poisoning, which the government requires to be added.

There might be 50,000 opiate-related deaths per year or whatever, but the actual number of accidental opiate ODs on solely OxyContin is no more than the number of deaths from Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

The Supreme Court already ruled that drug manufacturers can't be held responsible for the safety of generics. So even if Purdue is held entirely responsible for the rise in opiate addiction, there are enough mitigating factors in terms of the actual harms of addiction that I think it will be hard to see a tobacco-style settlement.
Well, if "they're all entirely corrupt but PT provided the necessary legislation" equals "saving the worker party's reputation", then you're right :)

In all other cases I'd say this is a hopeless mess and it doesn't matter who you'll vote for next time.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

I said this during the occupy movement. It's not the 1%, not the 2%, not the 10%, not even the 20% that need to be worried. For they will not satisfy those who have not achieved what they desire.

What people who promote class warfare desire is financial results without work or risk because that's how they perceive those with money attained it.

Expect to see articles about the top 25% and 30% next.
But tied only to one OS. I believe this is what the OP meant and something I agree with.
The CPAN argument for choosing Perl was relevant about 10 years ago but if you look at http://modulecounts.com you'll find Ruby, Python, PHP, JS and Java have an order of magnitude more libraries to choose from. CPAN is not __huge__ by today's standards. Drupal alone has the same number of modules. The declining community also means many of the libraries on CPAN are unlikely to be maintained.
Correct... This classification system is not serving the "other" 80%!
All Thumbs, Why Reach Navigation Should Replace the Navbar in iOS Design
The number of deaths can be both meaningful and irrelevant. For example, we can drop 1 regular bomb that kills 10000, or we can drop this new type of bomb that slowly eats the flesh off of 100 people, before they die very terribly (and unstoppably) a week later.

The second, just by its gruesomeness factor remains a black swan, irrespective of the number of deaths.

In the same vein the nuke might not be as deadly as all the bombings before it, but at the same time it was one new weapon (ie. a singular drop from a single plane) that did something totally new and horrific, thereby making it a black swan.

As the lead dev of VLC in a recent interview said, they’ve been offered huge amounts of money to include Google Chrome in their installer, and saying no was the hardest decision he’s ever made.

As long as Google has fraudulent ads for Chrome "your browser is outdated, update now to Google Chrome" on their websites, as long as Google intentionally makes the experience worse for Firefox (see the youtube redesign), as long as Google pays developers to ship Chrome as malware with every single installer, as long as Google forces OEMs to install Chrome with Android, Chrome will rule the market.

NaCL verifier is just a loop that essentially matches the instructions against a white list and checks their format and offsets. WebAssembly needs parser/linker/optimizer/assembler. Granted that the format is optimized for fast translation, but just the amount of code to support data structures in the implementation like maps, lists etc. must be big.
Just wanted to point out that "You'll always have a mathematically top 20%" is only if we stay in the same system, which is kind of arguing in a circle... Plus if there's a huge gap between the bottom 10 and top 90%, this still means there's a class system of some sorts.

The altitude boost is certainly not worth the work. The velocity from the plane is small but since fuel requirements go up exponentially with necessary velocity every bit helps.

More important than that is that the rocket doesn't have to punch through as dense of an atmosphere when getting up to speed. That means you don't have to reinforce the rocket as much since it's maximum dynamic pressure (maxQ) is lower giving you a better mass ratio and it means that you're not losing as much delta-v to air resistance but that's only another 100 m/s or so for a decently sized rocket like the one being launched here.

But more importantly you can design your engines so that they don't have to work at higher atmospheric pressures.
