Eurostat (the EUs statistics institiution) also has a lot of statistics freely available http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/statistics-a-z/abc with permissive license, data download in CSV and XML as well as a REST service. Their online data viewer isn't pretty, but one of the more powerful examples as well.
Oh my gosh. I've had this laptop for 4 months and never discovered that the Touch Bar could be customized beyond setting when the F-keys show up by default.
Thanks for the definition, interesting idea. I hope people start to define how this can be accomplished. I've heard for a while now about basic income but I've yet to read how it can be implemented given our current social environment. I rather read more about how to make it a reality rather than it's good or bad. Like everything, it can be debated for ever but we won't really know it's benefits or shortcomings unless it's put into place. The basic income advocates have started with pilot projects which is good. It would be nice to at least start the discussion on how to implement it for basic robot.
One of the most intriguing lists I have ever read was this one:

I still have a few books left to read but most of these are amazing books.
Not only is that not true, it's demonstrably not true: when people write code, they actively want other people to use it. By way of example, the author of the library we're discussing here, "Monocypher", has declared it "ready for production" and has a web page selling its virtues versus libsodium and NaCl.

People who write crypto code as a rule are not doing it for their own edification, which is why so many more people spend time writing libraries and encryption tools and so few people spend time writing the code to exploit crypto vulnerabilities.
I couldn't get through "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". There's probably one or two semi-interesting points I took away from the part I got through, but something about the way it was written made it way too difficult for me to get through, far more difficult than was worth it in my opinion.
Yes. LTE can hang on at crazy low levels. Like -130dB on L800
But unless they are differently colored, if you are looking at a column of 50 numbers, all 100-500 except only two of them have an "M" suffix and the rest have "K", it is very easy to miss. From experience with "du -h" which I rarely use anymore because of this,

I guess that depends too on what you think "the company" is in this case, going back to struggling with whether or not this analogizes to a stock split or not.
Tesla 3 critics say it will fail because it is full of flaws, so people won't buy them. And they also say that it will fail because Tesla won't be able manufacture them fast enough to keep up with demand. I think there is a bit of a contradiction here.

Interesting that they chose to keep the file name on the right-hand side like ls, and unlike every graphical file manager.

The name is the key field and so it should generally be the left-most column.
Absolutely.

I'd argue Toyota's Prius Prime is a direct response to Tesla. They too have gone large 11.6" center touch screen, it has a HUD, it has a much higher speed in EV mode, better acceleration, it is a plug-in hybrid, and has a bunch of other high tech improvements.

So the car industry is definitely taking notice.
Because 3.14 is the approximation of Pi. And yes, that is the reasoning.
that's a great trick! thanks for pointing it out.
I indeed learned a lot, and still learn a lot, by doing implementations. Doing a proper implementation forces me to consider all aspects; when the code runs properly, I know that I have, by definition, been exposed to all the parts. You cannot get that kind of exhaustiveness from simply reading an article.

However, doing implementations is not at all the same thing as publishing implementations! The first one or two attempts are always flawed in some way; only the third one can hope to be reasonably good. I took care to properly kill and dispose of the corpses of all my learning code.

The trick (and it's a difficult one) is to decide in advance that the code you write to learn will have to be deleted -- and stick to it. Developers have trouble letting go of their creations, in general. If you can maintain that discipline, then there is no problem in "writing your own crypto". But that is a big "if".
No, the content between the covers is essentially irrelevant in the mind of the OP.

They're asking us to judge a book strictly by its cover, and to reject it should it not meet their strict criteria of having not been written by a white person or most especially not a white man.

People keep saying that individual car ownership will go away. I don't think they understand how most Americans actually use their cars as rolling storage lockers filled with child seats, strollers, snacks, gym bags, tools, firearms, etc. The rental on demand model only works well for childless urbanites. For everyone else it's a huge hassle and not worth the minor cost savings.
Disclaimer: I have a small amount of Snapchat shares.

Every time I interact with any sub-21 year old person, I ask them 2 questions:

1.What's the most popular social network among your group of friends? I'd estimate 7-9/10 say Snapchat. If it is Snapchat, I proceed with question 2.

2.Do you read/interact with the "Discover" section of Snapchat? (Because this is where I think Snapchat has the most potential to actually make money.) I'd say 5-7/10 say Yes.

In short, yes, kids still use Snapchat.
Why do you want to replace ls?
> Her reason for banning, according to the company's letter was fundraising. That is certainly a type of speech.

Fundraising to support a non-speech activity is not purely speech. e.g., if the activity is criminal, fundraising to support it is also criminal in virtually every jurisdiction on the planet, including those with the strongest free speech protections.

I think that Zoë Quinn and her ilk is just as bad, if not worse than the "trolls" she is dealing with. She is purposefully perpetuating this drama to stay relevant.

She never wants to enter a dialogue about some of the criticism against her, not even on an open panel where she is invited to answer questions about her movement and ideology.

Also the pressure she has managed to put on publishers is ruining artistic and expressive freedom in the industry. She has managed to get all AAA publishers to eventually streamline all their games to fit the same dull narrative of the intersectionalists ( ? ).

Also this article reads out more like an angstly teenage novel more than anything worthy of printing in a well established news outlet.

And to add to all this troll talk. It goes both ways! Forums for the so called "GamerGaters" are often raided by HER own followers, more often than not she is the aggressor as seen on the latest vidCon.

Reminds me reading about Google's new translator. It apparently uses a unique internal language it developed during training. All the languages it knows go through this internal language / neural pattern.

From what I recall reading, Google has people researching this internal language to see if they can discover any new interesting things about human thought.

It's still 'nerdiness' - but I recommend learning about basic circuits and radio if you haven't already. SDR is cheap and fun, and so is soldering together radio transmitters, logic gates, fixing retro electronics, going as low level as you can.

Another complementary hobby to electronics is 3d printing+CAD skills. It changed my thinking process permanently. It can give you an 'anything is possible' mindset, it's a rush.

The problem is that most apps displays things in the Touch Bar that are already visible / accessible on the screen via mouse.

It also gets rid of F-keys which makes it really hard to use a lot of shortcuts in my IDE (because I have to look down to see where the F-key is)

The Touch Bar would be more useful if it was used to make features discoverable that aren't already on the screen.
I've often wondered if that is a side-effect of people needing to "prove their usefulness" in order to keep a job.
Digraphs aren't unique to Polish, though. Take Hungarian as an example ('cs' or 'zs' to start with).
And we don't really know if names from sealed indictments like this are cross checked with passenger manifests or if Hutchins's recent attention in the media helped to trigger this.

And I hate to go down a more "conspiracy theory" line of speculation, but if his history hasn't always been on the white-hat side of the line, then his Wanna Cry involvement looks more questionable as well.
This took me by surprise too. For some reason it isn't happening in the Vagrant VM I develop on, but now I've run it on my VPS, it's totally there! exa uses libgit2 which must be requiring it somehow.

>It's workable and scales if we are able to reuse lithium. When does that happen? (recycling is not reuse)

I assume you mean reuse is not recycling ie using old batteries as lower-capacity storage is not workable indefinitely.

First off the most pressing issue is that there is no practical replacement for cobalt in many li-ion applications. Chemistries without cobalt, like lithium titanate or iron phosphate, have a price and weight premium and reduced capacity. Cobalt is rarer than lithium, makes up more of the battery, and is harder to mine. The price might go up very quickly past a certain point, if supply from the DRC becomes tighter.

Lithium is very widespread and relatively abundant but most importantly its final impact on the price of a battery is only a few percent. If it becomes more expensive to reclaim or mine, it will still have a pretty small impact on the cost of batteries.
Well sex sells, right? So we say that the hash is the child of your UUID and your ballot choices, and that someone who voted the same way you did but has a different UUID will have a different-looking child. Same goes for if you had voted differently than you actually did: the kid would look different!

You did say "a good clean way" though, so perhaps that analogy is inappropriate :)

Maybe it could be explained in terms of one of those "superhero name generators"[0], where the initials used come from your UUID and the superhero name chunks come from your voting choices. Sure, a hash is a lot more mathematically complicated but the principle remains the same (to the point of the possibility of two different UUIDs and voting choices ending up with the same hash, just as anyone having the initials DJT will become The Incredible Golden Tornado).

Well, I have to admit, it is smaller than a docker container of alpine Linux containing the ls binary! Still doesn't mean it's monstrously large for no good reason.
Exactly.

If you're interested, the context is that capacity was historically used in the utilities industry to refer to generation capacity, which is in MW or GW. E.g., the capacity of a power plant could be 500 MW, which for the decades of power production preceding renewables, could be sustained indefinitely as long as you're feeding it fuel.

By extension, when you talk about battery capacity in the context of the electrical grid, you're talking about the MW or GW of generation that you can replace during peak loads. The ability to distribute batteries across a grid to meet peak demand (and defer infrastructure/peaker plant construction) is the best way (today) to justify investments in batteries.
Exactly - it's a logarithmic scale bar chart!
Or maybe just an "if" statement that checks if the amount is greater than X and, if so, take the money and run.
Can you please expand on your comment? It currently makes zero sense with zero references.
It's important to think about what is or isn't wasted time. I think about it a lot, because to me, time is the most precious resource - I won't be alive for that long, my time being young is almost over...

To make the most out of my time as a human in this planet, I seek novel things, that will enrich my experience. Doing the exact same things today that I did yesterday is wasted time, because I will feel the same way, and I will be repeating the experience.

Reading good fiction improves my experience as a human. The feeling of the places, the characters and the occurrences is always unique, and (with a good book) I gain new insights of what being a human means.

Non-fiction books are also good, but I don't really get the same feeling for them. The best way of explaining it is also the most boring: It's like watching a good movie vs a good documentary. I get a totally different feeling from a movie, and given the choice, I will almost always go for the movie.
Rust links all its runtime statically by default. Your /bin/ls is probably dynamically linked to libc and a few others.

That being said that the argument of size is a bit silly to begin with, especially for a 3MB binary.

Still obfuscating the source of funds or making it harder to trace is what both Money Laundering and Privacy are about.

Sadly, politicians don't make it easy to be 'almost private' (to everyone but the government it's a secret).
(1) If different critics criticize with different, and incompatible, complaints, so what?

(2) AFAICT, the actual complaints are not what you state, but rather that Tesla won't be able to timely deliver on the flow of orders they are receiving before the cars become widely available, and that once the cars are in the hands of users, they will be disappointing, making further demand weak. These are not incompatible views.
It is my understanding that "love" (the Western standard of Romantic love) isn't as important as building a stable relationship piece by piece in non-Western cultures.
Former (thanks to you) Lauren Southern fan. That video is illuminating.
It's also a precaution against future regressions: you want to design protections like this for the worst political climates, not the best, so you'll be ready if e.g. an employer starts thinking they can get away with abuse during a recession or a union leader decides desparate times warrant desparate measures.

It's much easier to prevent that kind of thing rather than repair the damage after the fact, similar to the problems we've seen with gerrymandering.

Reading is the 10 hour version of the above multi-year exercise - as all books are. Instead of deriving Newton's laws, you read what Newton spent a lifetime to come up with. Instead of deriving the implications of a situation where sentient alien races can communicate between stars, read about the solution arrived at when they spent years thinking about. Sure, it's not as technically difficult (nor probably rewarding) as synthesizing the ideas themselves, but still valuable to ingest - especially given the investment/reward ratio.

As a scientist, authors like William Gibson, Borges, Bradbury, Ramez Naam, Asimov, Clarke, Richard Morgan, etc. have provided me with rapid access to very real and useful perspectives inaccessible in non-fiction form. Such stories are long-form versions of Einstein's 'gedanken' [1] - thought experiments such as those he relied on to conceive of relativity.

No, but it comes from two different traditions. The first, and most common, is the Summer Reading List many schools give their students for reading over the summer break. I knew people who had assigned reading, but our school didn't bother. The other was the family vacation and the "beach books" that were once part of the stereotypical beach vacation. Gotta do something while the kids play in the water. Summer books are still a topic.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!

Will be interesting to see how it performs in the wild.

Here's a sample sentence that I've never seen any automatic translator get right:

"My cousin and her wife"

Any human would infer from the context that my cousin is a woman, in a same sex marriage. Yet Google, who also uses fancy deep learning, gives us, for Spanish:

"Mi primo y su esposa"

This should be "Mi prima y su esposa". And that's just for Spanish, a language relatively close to English. With more convoluted examples and more distant languages, it still breaks down pretty fast.
