You have made my point twice. Nobody predicted the levee was going to break. Nobody predicted Harvey would be a Cat 4 by the time it made landfall. There is no way to know which storm is going to be the "big one" until the aftermath. Therefore, we shouldn't assume there is no need to evacuate.

I pick it because I live in this middle of no where city with my 1.1 million closest hillbilly friends. We have air quality issues which we are working on. But frankly I grew up in Los Angeles and went to school in Pittsburgh and both had horrible air issues.

I've worked in all three cities and I have made a similar salary in all three cities and I have to say it's not hard to live on this kind of salary in cities like Salt Lake or Pittsburgh and both give a beautiful quality of life.

Feel free to pick whenever you'd like to live. But don't insult a city just because you don't want to live there.

80 microseconds is an insignificant increment of time relative to the attack of a musical note for most musical instruments.

The 80 microsecond wavelength corresponds to 12.5 kHz. That's in the range of the upper harmonics that determine the "crispness" or "air" of the tone.

Loudspeakers and filters will introduce more phase shift than this.

Oh, ... and sound travels a whopping 27 centimeters through air in 80 us.

I don't think any event in music needs to be timed to 80 us.

Yeah, that's the challenge. For instance, how do you handle when a column was one data type but then down the road was changed to another type when the two aren't cross compatible or could potentially break?
ARCore by Google
I understand that it looks this way, but in my experience, human time is EXPENSIVE. Even a low pay grade soldier/sailor costs us a lot in benefits, insurance, medical, support, etc.

That cost may be coming from a different bucket and thus not visible to the folks who decide whether to invest $X in a systems upgrade, but in the grand scheme of things, getting humans to do the job that machines today do well is a big waste.

When you hear arguments that a badge reader is expensive and instead we will just put two soldiers at this or that door (24x7, btw) and no one jumps and calls BS on it, it is a strong indication of a broken system.

"Just wanting to fuck" is not objectification. I can want to fuck someone without dehumanizing them. Implying that "just wanting to fuck" is the same as objectification, for everyone, all the time, is really not healthy.

I haven't mentioned guilt or shame at all. I think you're projecting something else into my comment.

It's pleasurable to you. It's not so pleasurable to someone else if they become the subject of your objectification fantasy without agreeing to that. And it's not so pleasurable to large segments of society who then become targets of behaviors learned from watching only this kind of porn.

“A radar can tell you something is out there, but it can’t tell you if it’s turning,” Hoffman said. “Only your eyes can tell you that. You have to put your eyes on the iron.”

If it's a true 100% partition between the two chains, ie all transaction sources are disjoint (or potentially have enough coin to cover all transactions that exist on both chains) couldn't anyone that's taken actions based on transactions on the losing chain resubmit transactions to the winning chain and they'd eventually get picked up?

(I've not dug into the protocol at a super deep level so I'm not 100% on what protections are in place that might stop this from working given a properly signed transaction.)
Well the most reliable time to destroy a missile is before it's built, but beggars can't be choosers :)

Sure, but that's really no different than just selling transferable vouchers.
They've supported a lot more than that for a very long time. The BMCs on both my ThinkServer TD340 and ProLiant ML10 support remote KVM access, CD/DVD emulation (mount a local .iso as a virtual drive on the server), firmware updates, and quite a bit more.

On top of that, I should note they do this without assistance of the Intel ME. The remote KVM access is handled through a video adapter embedded in the BMC.
How do you pick and test the parameters in the F() transformation to guarantee that "Every input 16 bit input will generate a different 16 bit output?" your comment says they were picked at random... was that after some iterations? how did you know when you had a proper transformation?

> As long as the US remains a threat North Korea has no other choice, it's not like getting rid of their WMD's would prevent the US from attacking.

No, but China would, and even North Korea's conventional threat against South Korea would.

A non-nuclear PRNK has nothing to fear from the USA, because China loves its North Korean buffer against South Korea, and will not let anything happen to it. Wouldn't China love a non-nuclear PRNK even more? It would still be a buffer and could still cause massive damage to Seoul and South Korea's industry and shipping, but without the region-destabilizing nuclear threat to Japan, Guam, CONUS, etc.

If KJU wanted to be a responsible leader, it seems to me that he would drop his nuclear and icbm programs, come up with a narrative for why that was necessary (or simply lie to his people and launch short-range rockets all the time to maintain a facade of continued progress), accept international aid and modernization, and claim credit for it to his people. If the international community does things he doesn't like, he can still threaten to attack South Korea, which would be devastating. The nuclear threat is just one step too far, and if KJU isn't careful, he's going to find that out. Trump isn't going to attack offensively (at least not without Chinese and South Korean green lights), not only because the counterattack would be a disaster for U.S. allies and perhaps the U.S. itself, but because China would then get involved in some capacity on North Korea's side.

KJU doesn't appear to want to be a responsible or rational leader, nor does he want to help his people. It seems like he wants the nuclear threat to get sanctions lifted so he can be even more of a jackass to his subjects and prop up his own regime with more comfort and power. He's already living well; if he's not happy with the status quo and wants more power and lifted sanctions to benefit himself and not his citizens, that makes me worry about his rationality vastly more than I worry about Trump's, and I do worry about Trump's sometimes.
Right now, your LinkedIn profile looks like it belongs to a new on the market 20-year-old, which I'm assuming is accurate. If your're looking to upsell, go for these:

* Go to local Meetups, and start getting more people linked to your profile. The same for any classmates you're still in touch with who want to be professionals.

* Get a better picture, like everyone has said.

* Bullets with good descriptions under each job, with keywords that match the positions you want in the future.

* Instead of "freelancing", come up with a company name, even if it's just Parsons Development Consulting, build a site for the company, and if you can get recommendations from customers. I know this won't impress a lot of tech people, but it does impress HR.

* Add more groups, preferably local meet-ups, your current company, and at least one non-profit.

* Take your high school off your profile. Right now. Nothing says "I'm a kid you can underpay" quite knowing when you graduated high school.

* ABOVE ALL ELSE link to your GitHub, and make sure your GitHub shows off your skills.

Hope this helps.

Modern X's network transparency amounts to sending images over the network. That's something wayland will do equally well.
Absolutely. One of my recent research interests in cryptography has been identifying ways to make pseudorandom permutations faster and using them outside of typical cryptographic contexts. I'm happy to see that you use them in Rax. They map very well to a lot of data structure problems in networking, not just encyption (i.e. assigning IDs to users).
Some people really wanted to go to war in 1914. Are you saying that we are now in such a situation, where USA or Russia are itching for a conflict?
Hello, you don't have to pick an invertible F(), the way the L and R sides are combined together leads automatically to the network to be invertible. This is the magic of Feistel networks, that F() can be as complex as you want and can be not invertible at all.

My assumption is that LFSR literature was hard to come across in 1991/1992 and finding the correct tap for a 16 bit maximum length register was not worth the effort.

I guess it might be more due to the lack of overlap between the problem domains --- LFSRs were known since the late 60s in relation to CRCs and other error-correcting codes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_code
The idea that competitive pressure improves school performance is one of those simple, obvious, and wrong Econ 101 ideas.
But it's not device-specific, which is exactly what makes it less secure. If anybody is able to sniff your password (e.g. due to initially trying to connect without TLS accidentally) or MITM your connection or get privileged access to your device (either locally or remotely), then they get access to your email, even from their machines.

Data from the UN and Germany shows that 80%+ of refugees have a university degree or secondary education. When war strikes, those with more resources are the ones able to escape and pay their way through to the EU.

My brother and I, along with our siblings, all have various psychological issues (like PTSD, anxiety, etc) caused by a pretty brutal period in our childhood that resulted in the neighbors calling Child Protective Services and us being placed in foster care.

When I was 19 years old I went to a rave and took a pill which definitely contained MDMA (in addition to whatever else the dealers put in it) and what I will say is this:

It was literally a life-changing experience for me. I felt emotions that I had literally turned off, and walls I didn't know I had were opened up. I remember being shocked days later, when I realized that the drug was no longer in my system, and yet I was smiling and making eye contact with my roommates and classmates, holding real conversations with them. These were things that had been pretty crippled in me before.

MDMA is powerful stuff, and it's a shame that this hasn't been properly researched due to our Federal Government's juvenile, ignorant attitude on drugs.

With Brexit and the possibility of a return to a "hard" border that is rapidly changing I think (ex-Newry, NI, person here, now living in London). Though I'd say this hasn't gone away at all - there's plenty of "young people" taking part in this visceral display every year[1] and it to me at least, every time I go back it seems to be getting worse not better for at least the past 10 years.

There's been lots of talk that this won't happen but it's hard to see how there won't be at least some sort of checks reintroduced. This isn't too unusual, we had the Common Travel Area[2] since 20s well before Schengen but a return to any sort of militarized or "formal" border could easily kick it all off again in the border counties.

For an idea of the difficulty here's what crossing the border looks like the BBC did a little drone video where it's very easy to see how "leaky" it would be [3]. When I was growing up it looked more like this for the main routes [4].

Is MongoDB the leader in NoSQL? I stopped using them years ago because of scaling issues. With things like Elastic Search and Dynamo DB, I see no reason to use MongoDB anymore.
Awesome, thanks! Trying it; I've been thinking of building something similar for a few weeks. Site-specific (like the Medium addon we're discussing here, or domain-based userContent.css) solutions suck, I want something generic (like the bookmarklet) and automatic (thus the "tradeoff" of popping the dickbars on under certain conditions, like you did when scrolling up).

I absolutely disagree. Self-driving cars are complex, but not unmanageable.

> What people don't realize is that full autonomous driving will require more than just faster/smaller/cheaper technical innovation - it will require the refinement of innovations that probably haven't even been invented/researched yet.

Like what? Object detection/recognition? Better sensors? Path/trajectory prediction? Vehicle control? Sensors and processing/unifying their data? The hardest part is letting all these building work together, and then produce a mass-production product from it, but we do have the base technologies, companies like Google, Tesla and Volvo have proven already that.

The problem comes down to software, and Toyota has the problem that it's a hardware-focused company. In the car-industry, just like in any industry, software will become more and more important, and Toyota - just like many other car-companies - simply doesn't have an answer here since they don't understand it.
