That's called a sale. Unless for some reason, Gates took a loan instead, which would be kind of a pointless way to give part of his net worth to the bank in the form of interest.
Trump's Twitter retweet, literally last night. He retweeted a racist dogwhistle from an Alt Right personality hours after Trump supposedly condemned them.
This is so confusing to me. Most of the stuff I see in the news that you are referring to as "made-up, cooked-up, stirred-up", etc., is stuff you can see video of. It's clear, from video, that there was a gathering of white supremacists, which became violent and resulted in deaths. It's clear, from video, that the President's response to this was weasely equivocation. It's clear, from primary sources like Twitter, that a number of white supremacists saw that weasely response as tacit support for their cause. This is what I've learned about this topic from the news this week, and presumably what these CEOs have learned as well. It is all very easily sourced, and definitely not gossip.

You want to look at Mc Dougall's Starch Solution. It can be argued (studies included) that a few foods are enough if you consume enough of it. Potatoes are an example.

I'm not saying you should only eat a few foods. But Adding multi vitamins has been shown to be somewhat more on the detrimental side. See for example How Not To Die by Dr Greger.

Just my two cents..
Through partnerships. We have access to this kind of data due to our strategic relationship with CEC Data (the company that owns the data). We also have an incorporated chinese entity in fuzhou itself which handles this.

We have people based in beijing analyzing the data.

The Nazis were actively marching for and advocating violence towards other people. Their message was inciting hate speeches and calling to arms other Nazis against groups of people, even putting them at risk. (Which even led to woman getting murdered on the streets by a lunatic in a car)

They were jumping blacks on the streets, burning crosses and swastikas. This is not just a "demonstration", this was actively inciting riots and violence which no "permit" gives rights to.
The nut job volunteered for the Sanders campaign and asked if the people he was going to shoot were Democrats or Republicans. You might not identify him as left-wing but he sure as hell did himself. By the same logic, reasonable right-wingers could claim that the white supremacists aren't actually right-wing.

That's different than just condemning their actions and calling them nut jobs. It shifts the problem away from people who are in a position to maybe make an impact. Even if it's unlikely that extremists on either side are going to come to their senses, it's much more likely that the whip shooter would engage in conversation someone with a strong left-wing orientation, and that some white supremacists listen to Trump when he uses the right kind of language.

If you are part of a political movement, or any group with strong opinions really, it's a moral duty not just to accept that there are people in your group who go too far but also to use your standing to call them out on it.

John Oliver has made some excellent commentary, but you can hardly call it balanced. Maybe for good reason, but nonetheless. BLM is awesome and necessary, however they walk a thin line between protesting against oppression and demonizing police, which some take as encouragement for violence. It's a continuing sturggle to to tell people on "your side" that they're wrong and going too far, much harder and more important than to belittle or protest against people that you naturally disagree with.
I don't think the grandparent poster was talking from a purist perspective though (I certainly wasn't). I think s/he was more interested why so few people consider FreeBSD. It might be the case that everyone runs into a deal breaker like yourselves but I think sometimes people don't consider FreeBSD simply because it isn't Linux. However I do completely agree with your points as well.

I feel your pain with NewRelic as I've also ran into a few brick walls with them. In fact on Linux as well (not tried NewRelic agents on FreeBSD).
Gates and Buffett have, for many years now, publicly pledged to give away basically 99% of their wealth.

Buffett's premise on not giving much of his wealth to his children, goes back perhaps 40 or 50 years now based on what he has said. According to Gates, an article that Buffett wrote for a business magazine, published ~25 some years ago now, informed and altered Bill's thinking on the detriment of giving such immense wealth to the next generation.

The Giving Pledge is primarily for other billionaires to pledge to give away at least 50%. The 50% level made it an easier bar to jump over, as of course not all of the billionaires want to match the 99% marker Gates & Buffett have set.
Politico did a pretty big study on it a couple months back showing that virtually all large outlets are clustered around liberal metropolitan areas. Politico, of all places.
This should quickly be declared illegal, if not already.

With the amount of data that is being gathered on us, coupled with advances in machine learning and statistical analysis, in the near future, "they" will be able to figure out high risk scenarios before we even know about it.

If they drop coverage or increase premiums based on this, they are no longer an "insurance company". I don't know what we would call them.
Psilocin is 4-hydroxy-DMT, and psilocybin is just phosphorylated psilocin. DMT is itself just dimethyl tryptamine, which is a modified serotonin. Serotonin itself is itself just modified tryptophan (without the hydroxyl group). The body produces small amounts of DMT naturally, I wouldn't be surprised if that is also the case for Psilocybin. Biochemistry is messy and small amounts of many "unintended" products are created.
Everything you do is political in some way. Saying that you're worried about DNS becoming a political football implies it isn't already. It is. From ICANN's self-serving lunacy (don't lift that rock unless you have time to go down some very deep and fairly scuzzy rabbit holes), to domain seizures by governments (and private companies like Microsoft), DNS is already political. So is every other part of the internet infrastructure. Examples: the great firewall of china, registering to get porn in the UK [1], payment processors refusing to handle donations to Wikileaks [2].

The question isn't "should DNS and/or Internet infrastructure be political?"...because it already is. The question is "whose politics should it follow?"

You say that's leaving is problematic, but is there evidence that these councils have any influence in shaping policy? They look more like ego-boosts for the president: 'I've collected these guys'

Right, this property of reference counted GCs can make certain things simpler.

I just realized that you asked the question probably because of the LLVM-based JIT compiler for Dao. This JIT compiler actually does not deal with GC at all, it just compiles consecutive segments of VM instructions into functions that will be called by the VM. Only a subset of the total VM instructions are compilable this way. It was intended for programs with a significant amount of numeric computation.

His short speech at the RNC was exciting, but too emotional (despite not being emotional in content). I was surprised he was willing to risk the impact to his business reputation while _not_ being able to articulate his case clearly.
Awesome! The day after this post I logged in to LinkedIn and they promoted a (new?) feature where you can restrict who sees your profile. I turned it off as much as possible for people who are not logged in. IMHO they should probably make that the default if they don't want people scraping data.
Nice. I'm very curious what sort of track you were chasing to spot that.

Just to be clear, the passage I quoted was Scott Aaronson expressing his own opinion.
Unior provided the tools for this course. They really are great quality - and run by real people who are proud of what they make. I went to their factory in Slovenia where they make 99.9% of everything they sell. We talked about making the series and they saw the potential in it and supported me when it really looked a risky bet. I'm very happy to advocate their tools because they are genuinely good, European-made and backed by proper engineers.

That would also have the advantage of not drastically affecting stock prices through the act of selling, since if investors know the Gates Foundation sells n shares a month come what may those sales can effectively be ignored.
There are a few significant factors at play:

#1

Gerrymandering has enabled polarization. Previously, some competition in the general election ("left" vs "right") moderated the candidates.

Now the real election is in party primaries ("right" vs "more right"), which are low turnout events of mostly "the base". Result elected officials have become more extreme.

#2

The money game changed. Tom DeLay and others took control of the campaign contributions funnel. At the same time, cost of running campaigns continues to rapidly increase. So any one who wants to hold office has to kiss the ring.

#3

The resulting polarization has made legislating far more difficult. Best explanation I've read so far is Unorthodox Lawmaking, Rulemaking

http://columbialawreview.org/content/unorthodox-lawmaking-un...

--

How do we fix this?

Biggest step is independent redistricting commissions, with citizen oversight (approval). Gerrymandering is mostly incumbent protection schemes. Citizens (voters) hate the result. Support for independent commissions is something like 80/20 (no-brainer).

Next biggest step would be to eliminate the two party system by replacing our winner takes all (FPTP) form of elections with Approval Voting. Cite Duverger's Law. Some people advocate other systems, like proportional representation. Great idea; I think Approval Voting is an easier sell.

Reduce the costs of campaigning. So much we can do here. Restore fairness doctrine, time box campaigning, better GOTV/voter education efforts, unify & simplify voter registration (eg automatic, universal), etc.
I put free in quotes because the tradeoff is that you do research for the university as part of a graduate research assistantship (GRA). Typically the position comes with a stipend as well and usually requires being a full-time student. The officially term is "tuition remission". You may receive special consideration if you attend the same university for undergrad and grad school.

Greece. I learned a lot in the process having just an undergraduate degree at the time. The students didn't appreciate it much unfortunately (wasn't a university but a vocational school; don't ask why Tanenbaum was on the curriculum). Just one came to me after the exam (I had to pass them all anyway) and congratulated me of making it so hard for them (him).

There are plenty other examples. I just picked one. The Damore and Eich cases. The professor at the University of Missouri. The assault of Charles Murray.
Beautiful work!

It's nice to see something that was designed with maintainability in mind. Designed to be disassembled, repaired and re-assembled later. Impressive engineering.

So different from most consumer products sold today which never use screws and are not designed for repairing. If it breaks down you're expected to buy a new one...
If Aetna wanted to offer customers discounts on insurance for healthy activity, it would make far more sense to do it with something like a Fitbit. A purpose-built device for tracking activity and heartrate. The Apple watch doesn't do as good a job as the fitbit at fitness tracking, is bigger and heavier, is far more expensive, and gets far worse battery life. Not to mention the fact that the Apple Watch only works with iPhones meaning that it would be useless for the majority of US smartphone users whereas the Fitbit works with both iPhone (as much as Apple lets them) and Android.

Side Note: I switched from an Android watch to a Fitbit for activity and sleep tracking for many of the reasons outlined above.

Building the rust code into a syso file might make the (user) build process easier here. This is used for the race detector (based on tsan) and there's an example of building and using one in the dev.boringcrypto branch. This would require a package author to create syso files for all GOOS, GOARCH combinations they care about. Although GOOS might not matter depending on whether any syscalls can be made from rust.

>Disagreement Is Treason

Isn't that what the left is doing by trying to silence the alt-right right now?
Now that I agree with the alt-right, honestly I despise them, but leftists who call the alt-right fascists and want to censor their views for being "Unamerican" really need to look in the mirror.
For those of us who don't follow his every twitter move, which tweet are you referring to?
The Damore who denied interviews with internationally renowned news organisations to go on Youtube with alt-right crazy Stefan Molyneux?

The Damore who sourced real science in an effort to try to legitimize his own non-sequitor opinions in a memo?

The Damore who made a t-shirt comparing a company with snack bars, lego corners, project choice and hundreds of thousands of dollar salaries with communist forced labor camps?

I don't disagree with you on Eich. I think supporting prop 8 is abhorrent, but likewise was the online shaming campaign. I'd support anyone boycotting Mozilla if they chose too, and those who resigned when he was promoted to CEO, but he also wasn't fired, he resigned.

> the US' entire justice system to be racist against black people

I believe that's a key part of the BLM argument, yes.
One of Scott's commentators (Stacey Jeffery) writes:

That’s not because he necessarily said anything actually sexist or actually racist, but because he said the kinds of things that you usually only hear from sexist people, and in particular, the kind of sexist people who are also racist.

That is the big thing I saw as well.

I think there is an analogy to the body's defenses against viruses. The body recognizes certain shapes from the outside surface of viruses and attacks anything sharing those shapes. The memo was chock full of ideas and phrases that match those used by the worst kind of bigots.

If you look at the plain meaning of the words it isn't so bad. But most people's response is based on the pattern-matched shape evaluation instead.
Emulators are able to overclock to run the game in a smooth 60fps. Along with full mouse and keyboard support, as well. It's like a whole new game.
Sure, but look a little wider. Most of what goes on is bullshit. Not just tech crap. We're all just trying to make a little money.
I used to believe that; but the attitude in America that it's free speech and everyone should have their say, while applicable to nearly anything, does have many exceptions.

The ideology that caused, directly and without ambiguity, the death of over 6 million people is not a position to be argued, it's not a viewpoint worthy of consideration. It's possibly the only one humans should just say "You know, this has nothing to offer us in any capacity and should be left to the dustbin of history" to.
> Damore actually wrote his memo as a response to Google soliciting feedback. So he in fact got the "license" that you talk about from Google.

As an aside, this is an extraordinary dangerous assumption for an employee to make. Suggestion boxes aren't magical shields from blowback.

Tenure exists for a good reason, and parent's point is well-taken. If you aren't tenured (or even if you are), you should probably assume that you have to play a careful political game if you want to stay employed.

(I'm not making any judgement, just stating some IMO facts.)
I understand that. I guess I'm saying that while it can be done, the drawbacks offset the advantages. Soon there won't be any games programmers that only want to program in assembly language anyway.
That is rather generous of human nature. My experience is out of every 100 people 99 will pirate and 1 will always pay.
Thanks! Just placed an order.
> Why are you getting so personal in attacking this dude?

He's just exercising his right to free speech.
The difference is that the President, qua office, is the leader of the society that these white supremacists hail from. For islam, he is an outsider.

Obama's rational for his decision is widely known: That the criticism of an outsider, denouncing their culture as extremism and terrorism will, in the ears of even the most progressive, secular muslim, only be understood as an insult, and will therefore only lead to further the narrative of a "Clash of Civilisation" a la Fukuyama.

That statement can be argued with. But to feign ignorance can only be considered bad faith.

Note also that nobody is demanding any laws. What people are clamouring for are honesty, decency, and leadership.

"... if James Damore deserves to be fired from Google, for treating evolutionary psychology as potentially relevant to social issues..."

I don't believe that's why James Damore was fired. He was fired for a much more obvious reason: he was working against their efforts to have a more gender diverse workforce and he embarrassed the company in a very public way.

"First, let me say that we strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves, and much of what was in that memo is fair to debate, regardless of whether a vast majority of Googlers disagree with it."[0]

Google admits that there are some things in the memo that are debatable, even though Google disagrees with Damore.

"It is contrary to our basic values and our Code of Conduct, which expects ‘each Googler to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination"[0]

And that is why he was fired: deliberately working against Google's workplace culture goals. There may be room to argue about what Damore may have meant, in his heart, when he wrote the memo. However, since the memo is a physical artifact that we may all inspect, it's clear that the text of the memo is unabashedly sexist. He clearly states that he believes the gender gap at Google is not caused by sexism and that's at clear odds with Google's goals.

"We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism."[1]

As if it needs to be said, that is clearly not the case. The primary cause of the gender gap is very much sexism and it's a real problem that needs to be dealt with. While we may disagree on which steps will be most effective, there's no benefit to denying the problem exists.

Still Vulnerable: Many Firms Security Practice Unchanged Since NotPetya&WannaCry
Every so often I hit a ceiling where I worry that I'm going to kill myself with caffeine and hypertension or whatever so I stop for a week. Recently I took 400mg in pill form at 10pm in order to keep me up until 2am. I get 6-8 hours of sleep a night and everything else about my life is within the error margins of "healthy". I just like stretching my day, and find that caffeine's efficacy has dropped off a cliff since university.
Woah woah woah. Did I miss the bandwagon for hating green / black tea? How are those bad? Is it just the caffiene?
