> It's not a given that it did not end... think to yourself what would happen if Nazi Germany had developed a nuclear bomb ahead of the Americans?

Nukes at the time were still weak weapons. You could inflict a lot more damage (and a lot more damage happened on Tokyo and many other Japanese cities) by regular firebombing. You did not need nuclear bombs to inflict catastrophic loss of life.

Now when it came to thermonuclear weapons, the magnitude is entirely different, but that only occurred many years later. It would never have occurred at the time of WW2.

First couple months I was the most impatient and impulsive. However, my whole life is an effort in staving off boredom and red traffic lights, so I try and practice mindful meditation every day to stay patient and "still" in my mind when there's no reason to be thinking furiously.

Low point was feeling impatient to check for updates when a loved one was dying and I was visiting at the hospital. Where in the world was my head? I was there to spend quality time with someone while they were still in the here-and-now! And I was anxious to check notifications from some random social website that'd be there tomorrow? WTF.

That's when I knew I had an Internet addiction, and that the phone enabled it.

I don't think that African Americans are the youngest culture in America but rather one of the oldest, considering the slave ship theory they've been here quite a while. However I strongly agree that they're still very wounded and needing healing.

Further, there's evidence being brought out that there actually were aboriginal Americans that we would call black.
To be frank, for the non-Americans who read the article; the first thought would be that the drone is actually using some form of 'gas' and not liquid petroleum. I presume 'gas' in this context means gasoline and not LPG.

I wouldn't say we are going technologically backwards if you take a systemic look at energy, manufacturing, & infrastructure.

Steel is needed to rebuild existing infrastructure (roads, bridges, railroads) that have been falling apart over the years.

Steel is also needed to new infrastructure (buildings, electrical grid, solar panels (including those which will line the Mexican border wall), walls, housing, equipment, manufacturing).

Coal power is also inexpensive, transportable (power generation can be localized), & cleaner than ever. There's also a lot of coal left to be mined (> 260 bn short tons; 200 years).

http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Energy.html

Coal can also be converted to diesel allowing states to create their own energy & reducing our need for foreign fuel sources. This will have geopolitical ramifications. Even if we decide to move toward renewable resources, having this coal stockpile in our back pocket will give leverage in acquiring the rare earth minerals needed for batteries & solar cells.

Also note that China & India burn a lot of coal, even though they could leap frog to a new energy infrastructure, giving more evidence that there must be compelling reasons to do so.
Read lots of science fiction. Find something awesome that no one thinks computers can do yet. Pare it down or limit its focus to the point where it might be practical. Don't worry about how much memory it uses or how slow it would run. Then, try to program it. You will push your limits and if it's awesome enough, people will be deeply impressed with your ability.
anything branded google for content consumption I avoid or mitigate with other sources.

I use gmail because I almost entirely control that (unsubscribe, spam filters, user filters and auto forwarding) Unless they are actively deleting email sent to me and changing the content of email I am getting exactly what I want to get in my inbox

I use Google search in conjunction with duck duck go, bing, content aggregators, offline sources and for things i don't care about the source or that doesn't really have a possibility of bias (weather forecast, traffic) or when i know that the google search is really just a quick way to search something else (stack overflow, wikipedia)

the google new tab interface on mobile has such abominable suggestions that I quit using chrome on mobile (helps that I don't have a phone, just a tablet for e-reading, music and causal games)

Maybe it would have better suggestions if I turned on google tracking (app and website) or if I turned off the VPN and anonymizing proxy on my router - yeah right.
Does not really answer my question. I don't feel that culturally these games bring much on the table. Why do you have to make 4-years old play games made for 4-years old? When I was 5 I wanted to play the games my 15 years old brother was playing.

The first papers in the list explain the "why" of functional programming, and later on more concrete Haskell topics are covered. Papers shouldn't be the only resource but you can supplement them with tutorials and skimming Real World Haskell. This approach of reading papers is intended to be holistic, of course you won't be churning out Haskell code within a couple days, but when learning Haskell or FP, syntax shouldn't be one of the primary focuses imo. Unless you're learning lisp.

So far ARM in servers has proven to be a disaster performance per watt-wise. Intel's Xeon D CPUs are not even the latest microarchitecture and yet they are wiping the floor with any other chip trying to get the performance per watt crown. Look up some Xeon D-1587 benchmarks (16 Broadwell cores at 1.7 GHz in a 65W envelope).

And since then Intel has picked up another 30% at least in performance/watt by going from Broadwell to Kaby Lake and soon Coffee Lake and so they can answer any challenger if they so want.

The reason there's no Skylake Xeon D is that Intel doesn't need it yet.

Having a property or house should be our natural birthright, period. Once you die this property or house should be released and made available in a system where you can move to another/better place when it's available.

But, as it is now you don't even get a square inch. Everything is owned by government, landlords, businesses etc.. The result is that once a man starts to earn a little money, it all flows back to the owners. Earning enough to buy and really own a property yourself is only for the lucky few. Even after 20 or 30 years of hard work you can end up in the streets if you lose your job. And if you are unlucky enough having a (mental) illness, your chance to succeed is near zero.

Homeless are a product of the system we live in. And the best way to describe this system is a pyramid game. In the end there will be a few owning (and controlling) almost everything. It is sad to see that democracy totally fails to address this problem.. Maybe even more sad is that most children are not properly educated, especially when it comes to the system we live in and homelessness. I learned in primary school that homeless people are just lazy, and being on the streets was their own punishment.

It would be a miracle if a new generation really understands the problem and can solve it politically by changing the system we live in.

>average housing size has more than doubled while average number of occupants has dropped

I've read this many times, bigger houses have contributed a great deal to rising housing costs. But do we have any data on the cost of materials and labor now vs. then as well as the cost of land and regulations now vs. then?

I've always had an inkling that materials/labor costs haven't actually risen that much even as houses grew larger.
Fox News is hardly news these days. Today their front page headline was about the Obamas being on vacation. This, on a day when the Senate Republicans fell flat on their face on healthcare. Wonder why that only got a small mention way at the bottom. Even now the main headline is about Palin suing the NYT.

Your basic problem is viewing this as a left/right divide, when it's really a reasonable journalism/explicitly partisan reporting divide. Conservatives have been trained by decades of talk radio to think this way, and now all they have left on their side is a bunch of charlatans. CNN or MSNBC aren't paragons of virtue, but at least they are not completely disingenuous hucksters like the ones Fox trots out all the time. Hell, MSNBC even features their own right-wing charlatan in Hugh Hewitt.
As someone who has done a lot of gardening, and automated that gardening, I personally find soil moisture to be a complete boondoggle of something to measure. It doesn't tell you if the plant is taking up the moisture, or if the pH is correct (or you have some kind of nutrient salt lockout). The author says they are having trouble because the water isn't evenly distributed.

While it sounds scary, hydroponics is much easier to automate. Use a substrate like grodan blocks that can't be overwatered, and have it drain back into the reservoir you are pumping from. Then it's just a matter of setting your cycle time appropriately, and watering for x seconds every y hours, and changing the water after a set number of days, and adding new nutrients. By using more water than you need without risk, you can ensure an even level of watering over the entire medium.

It's also much easier if you have a nutrient problem as you can easily flush with a large amount of properly pH'd water to 'reset' your substrate, which is very hard to do with soil.

This doesn't even get into things like potting mix typically has eggs for all sorts of pests, if not pests themselves. If you are lucky and get a clean batch, you are still providing a great environment for pests to live.

While it does cost a bit more to do hydro, it's honestly not that much. If you want to be super cheap you can use pH papers or by a $20 pH pen. A starter nutrient kit from general hydroponics should be under $30.

Current assessment of Petya Ransomware: Dead but still dancing
...in the US. We do a similar, but very different, thing here in China, Shanghai. Not only building the meal plans but also cooking and delivering it every day.

The city is flat and dense, 10000+ people per sqmi dense. Every day local food delivery companies jump on their electric scooters and deliver over 2,300,000 meals (2016 data, now probably more). In one city.

I can choose from 2,980 restaurants near me. If I add ¥5 (~$0.8) extra delivery fee, a bit farther, making it 8,600 restaurants. Decision fatigue multiplied by "I'm hungry just get me that deep fried chicken NOW" thing.

The food is very meh. Mid- to high-end restaurants don't do it. Good restaurants have enough business to skip deliveries at all. Meal kits tried and failed here, because people are just too busy and stressed to cook. Average rent is 140% of average salary. Overtime is a norm.

So we figured, why don't we take customer data + preferences, make a feedback loop and build FULL meal plans for them that they will 1) be happy to eat, 2) reach their fitness goals with, 3) be able to afford? By "full" I mean including healthy drinks and snacks. Lots of meal kit companies, food deliveries, and meal plan builders forget this.

We're in stealth mode so far, but I believe this will work in China.

Your claim would be supported by evidence that the population of drinkers has higher suicide rates than the population of non-drinkers, which is notably different than evidence that people who commit suicide are likely to be drinkers.
Saying "it is known" is not data.

For example the "it is known" premise that the ACA and Medicaid expansion would result in lower consumption of medical care overall. The opposite has happened.

One example, with data:

For comparison, from wikipedia:

Gasoline: 12,889 Wh/kilogram

Diesel: 13,333 Wh/kilogram

Lithium Ion battery: Ranges from 100 to 243 Wh/kilogram.

Even when you consider that something like 50% of the energy in gasoline is lost to waste heat in a typical internal combustion engine, it's still a huge difference.
Reality is not bipartisan. Fox has a recent history of peddling alarmingly dangerous and inaccurate conspiracy theories. I'm in favor of an algorithm that gives them less weight.

Also, I see lots of Fox and WSJ.

A study a few years ago found that WSJ's news is liberal, but their editorials are conservative. I think things look very different if you are able to forget about the editorials.

And, finally, the left/right split of people who read news is not the same as the US overall. Even if it were, it would still skew liberal, just as the US does.

That's an interesting question and since you mention it, my suspicion is that it's in response to a disagreement with one or more frequent poster's political views some months ago.

I could be wrong about this, but almost every comment I have posted in a popular forum since that time has been down voted (usually this is overridden before long except in cases of comments that probably deserve down-votes which I do occasionally make).

It's not a big deal obviously but I'd like to address the poster(s) doing this (should they exist) and express my contempt for the pettiness of their approach and possibly bring moderator attention should it be warranted.

But in reality, the time it took to type this post is more effort than the action deserves. It is pretty juvenile though assuming I'm seeing correctly.

Helium is rare and expensive and becoming even more so as time goes on.

Hydrogen has this nasty habit of being extremely flammable.

Just because you can't imagine a solution does not mean there is none. Steve Jobs was homeless for a time. Richard Stallman was sometimes 'between apartments' while working on his open source stuff and had trouble getting a voter registration card because of it until some big publication listed his maker space as his address and then the registrar of voters was finally willing to accept that answer.

I am homeless and have had a class on homelessness and these are two of my websites:

http://whathelpsthehomeless.blogspot.com/

http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/

I also started a Reddit recently called Housing Works and I have various related little blogs, like Project SRO. I am still kind of throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks, but the San Diego Homeless Survival Guide is a thing I started for myself in order to keep track of useful info I needed while homeless in downtown San Diego and I abandoned it after I left downtown. It was not updated at all for six months and then I realized it had organic traffic. It has the most organic traffic of any site I run because there is need for the info.

A lot of people who have spent time homeless are ashamed of that fact and don't volunteer that information normally. Even those who are not ashamed and not actively hiding it, well, you don't know just from looking at someone that they used to be homeless. Lots of people do get off the street. It is not a permanent situation for everyone.

However, homelessness has been on the rise nationwide for some years now and it does concern me that there are larger forces at play here that are causing it to be more of an uphill battle than it used to be.
It is mainly an architecture difference. An FPGA is typically made up of many logic blocks that contain a programmable look up table (LUT) connected to a flip flop. There are also various multiplexers (muxes) that route signals around the flip-flop or to other neighboring logic blocks. In this way, you can chain many of these logic blocks together to create your desired circuit.

A CPLD typically has a network of And or Or gates leading to the pins of the device. The outputs of these gates then feed into the complementary gate (Or for And and And for Or) and then most likely into flip flops. You program the device by selectively connecting the pins through a switching matrix to the various elements of the first logic array and then another switching matrix to the various elements of the second logic array. There is also the possibility for a third switching matrix for feedback through the system.

I think you're letting your biases about Google color your vision. I've had plenty of recommendations from Fox News, NR and the WSJ on Google News, so I can easily counter your own anecdata with mine, but, unlike you, my conclusion wasn't that Google had a right wing bias.

EDIT: Oh, and I totally missed your remark about the Huffington Post. The reality is quite the contrary! Until the recent lay-offs post the Verizon acquisition, they had some of the best reportage on legislative activities in the House. Certainly, they have a liberal bent (which they do not hide), but the reporters they have (or had) are very good at their jobs.
A new design can't hide the fact that news aggregated through google seems to have a strong ideological bent. I've spent a lot of time setting up the weighting of various news sites and still can't seem to get certain agendas filtered out of the news. Perhaps this is a problem with news in general and only reflected through Google News, but I don't think so - things have gotten worse over time and certain sites seem to be over-represented.

Not everyone.
In addition to being larger, houses today are more lavish. In the 1950s, houses were around 1200 square feet, they had a kitchen and a bathroom but did not necessarily have a washer and dryer or air conditioner. They certainly did not have a microwave and probably did not have a dishwasher. They tended to have less insulation, less electrical wiring, etc.

Yes, there is data on such things. There are a number of reasons that housing has gone up in cost, but size inflation is absolutely a contributing factor.
