That’s fair. Personally I think it depends on where someone is in their career and how urgent they wish to move.

Whilst not immediate, a lot of the other visas offer a faster or more direct path to entry in the US.

If you are graduating, not necessarily sure what you want to do and you see a potential US move a few years down the road then I think the L1 route is still a very good option. In my case I had worked for a big company for a few years and applied for a new role internally, visa process was painless and I think took around 6-8 weeks total - the L is not subject to caps so once your company is willing to sponsor, things tend to move rather quickly.
Ironically, I opened about 10 tabs of this site, which lead to using 1 Turbo Pascal worth of bandwidth in a few seconds.
Yes, aside from unpiloted aircraft, there is a current Air Force project/competition for a prop driven light attack aircraft. One of the competitors is a crop duster conversion.

>Does choosing C++14 over C++11 mean the resulting game is more fun?

Even though I agree with the main point of the article, I have to point out that when a game doesn't crash every hour, it's definitely more fun.

Few examples of games that do crash: many games in the Elder Scrolls series, Fallout 3 (and New Vegas), Dwarf Fortress. Games that are undeniably complex and emergent in such ways that the coders have no way of testing everything.

It will be so great that people will be able to make even more complex games, and have them not crash.

I have checked eBay for WW2 sirens. They're cheap, and I proposed installing one outside as an alarm.

This was quickly rejected by the councillor who informed me that sirens are used for the flood alarms (we're 200m from the Thames).

Instead I've resorted to DIY fire safety. MDF fire panels installed as best as possible around the riser, as that is the most likely source of fire. It will buy me a little time, and I will not be relying on containment to save us... I'll be going down the fire escape regardless of instructions.
For convenience! Make is a powerful software and GNU Make is readily available for Windows, e.g. as part of MinGW. I also actively use it for my projects, because it's just kind of always there when you need a build system and you can put together an initial Makefile real quick.
At some point we as a species are going to have to start taking responsibility for solving the problem or a solution will never happen.

Also, you miss the context of GP's comment by pointing the discussing in this way. They were replying to another comment that claimed cutting emissions was a difficult problem for reasons that are more... physical, I suppose you could say. GP was merely pointing out that technical challenges are not the obstacle holding us in our current predicament.

I don't disagree with you in that the real challenge we face is our species' collective insanity, but I hope you see that in asserting this point that we are both in agreement with GP here.
I think that's why Go is so popular right now. I find the language kind of depressing from a PLT perspective, but it was built taking into account practical requirements such as fast compile times, a standard formatting tool, ease of deployment, etc, which makes it a very good system.

It's always a specific failure if the current broken system depends on it if you ask those that thinks they benefit from the broken system.

The real trick here is to go a bit deeper and find out if this was just an "act of god" of if there was some kind of systematic policy that led to successive councils ignoring clear evidence of potential problems with one of their properties.

And when it comes to social housing there is very systematic problem of willfull blindness when it comes to problems that might require investment to infrastructure used by people that are not paying a lot in taxes. The problems might be worse in the UK but are not all that unique as even Scandinavia and Germany have unsolved problems with some of their public housing estates.

In a lot of ways the problem is that a lot of those building aren’t actually worth maintaining but cannot be replaced due to a preference for not allowing new social housing to be build.
Help is already here and vanilla ice cream (and other vanilla things) can be flavored with artificial vanilla. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanillin give the details. In fact, many vanilla products get their flavor artifically. Natural vanilla wins on complexity, nuance, and flavor, but it costs much more even in the absence of natural disasters and crop failures.

I would like to quote Charlie Munger here: "“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

Also, I highly recommend reading the blog https://www.farnamstreetblog.com/ - great weekly newsletter with interesting articles about thinking process, life-long learning, decision making and some other good stuff.
Well the article mentions one of my favorite protests, the Montgomery bus protests/boycott, that was ultimately started by Rosa Parks, history may remember her as some grand civil rights leader, but that wasn't her intent she was just a tired black woman going home from work who refused to give up her seat to a white person. That was a successful protest/boycott without a bunch of middle class people or engaging Washington.

The majority of the article is about the Vietnam War, but do a search and you won't find either Muhammad Ali or even the word "draft". Muhammad Ali was an outspoken, black, Muslim who refused the draft, again history might pretend he had the love and support of the people, but he didn't at least at the time. The War still had the full support of the American people, and Ali was persecuted, striped of his championship title/livelihood, labeled Anti-American in the media, he was also prosecuted by the Government, and convicted of draft dodging and sentenced to 5 years of prison. But he continued to fight, the Country began shifting its attitude about the War and the draft, and Ali prevailed in the Courts.

Obviously Ali wasn't alone, just look at some of the most famous 1st Amendment cases at the time. The Government prosecuting a guy for wearing a jacket that read "Fuck the Draft" in a Courtroom trying to chill his speech, eventually the Supreme Court agreed that was protected speech. Or the Government prosecuting protesters for burning their draft cards, ultimately they lost and the Supreme Court ruled burning draft cards is not protected speech. All these anti-war protests were done majorly by students, granted to your point their message and goal was much clearer than protests of today. Never mind the individual wins and loses, they were done by students, not middle class, and still they won overall because there hasn't been a draft in the US since, because its become politically untenable. Students, racial minorities, religious minorities...not the middle class.
It can. He didn't bother to do it.
Awareness and media attention has potential for power, but unless one is able to follow through and use this to gain something tangible it is not worth much.

There is also a huge difference between media being willing to cover the conflict, and media willingly amplifying your message. In the former the power stays in the hands of the media (and the people it usually serves), only in the latter I would say that one has something that can be an effective power.

More a general comment, I don't know how BLM does wrt to media coverage.

Please, give me an example when ever in history a or a series of not-lame-ass protests did change something.

G20 in Hamburg was a good example of several not-lame-ass protests which didn't lead to anything beyond violence and destruction. Absolutely nothing changed or started to change because of them.

You could create a new system by delivering water to each home in a complex through smart metering .. kind of own the inventory... I live in a complex and have no idea why we pay so much for water..my consumption is quite low.. micro managing with this sort of system will help reduce consumption.. I was told a society spends on 60 trucks of water every day..that's huge for a society..

Once the leader of the BLM said that the only way to resolve the racial issues this country faces is for white families to sign their entire estates over to black families, I think the BLM may have crossed that line. Maybe if she asked people to will their estates to Poor people I wouldnt feel that way, but as it stands, this screams racially oriented priority.

Again, that's how we picture them in our head, but we have very few informations of what really happened at that time. Pretending we know from a few remaining artefact's is quite a stretch given that the truth is already very distorted when information from the same day arrive to you in the form of photos, videos and track records.

> "This is the only thing that makes sense. The people, governments, and institutions being protested only know one language: violence."

Not true. They also understand money. I'd say money is the best thing to focus on if you want a truly effective protest. Violence is too easy to condemn by those not taking part. That's why I'd say we'd be better off arranging protests as boycotts rather than marching in the street.

That said, there is a sense of community with collective gatherings like street protests. I'd say fostering connections between people is probably the main strength of protesting in the streets.

Yes, and we'll need all of the energy storage we can get, both for applications that do require continuous or on-demand power and for applications which require dense, portable power.

But every transformation you put your energy through between harvesting it and harnessing it has a cost, whether you are converting your electricity between DC and AC willy-nilly, storing it as chemical energy, or converting it to mechanical motion and storing it as gravitational potential. If you have a list industrial application that is not time sensitive, and is running at night from an 80% efficient storage mechanism (effectively, even if off the grid), you can boost your efficiency by 25% by running when it is sunny! Who wouldn't do that?

I really think that gear VR is the best and most cost effective experience right now. The app store is great, there are a lot of options. An important thing is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's meant to be enjoyed 30 minutes at a time and that's the perfect duration for enjoying VR right now. You don't feel dizzy and you don't feel disoriented. The cost is also minimal. The headset is literally $100 or free with your phone. Apps are a bit expensive, but nowhere close to the PC based systems.

Daydream is a low effort also ran. It lacks good hardware, the quality is noticably worse than gear VR and supported phones are rare to find. Now that the galaxy S8 and note 8 are slated to support daydream, it will finally have decent hardware support. Let's see if Google does something interesting, but I'm not holding my breath.
> It certainly wasn't an energy saving measure.

This is factually wrong. If you read the original planning application[1] you'll see a whole section about climate change and energy efficiency (page 10 for the hard of reading). There's a second document[2] which goes into the energy efficiency in a lot more detail. Section 2.1 of the second document says that cladding was specifically added for energy efficiency reasons.

As someone who owns a Vive, what I hear is: "it's still too expensive" which is really encouraging to me because I think as the technology continues to progress it will become more and more appealing to a wider audience.
The most fun I've had with my Vive, personally, is playing two player Rawdata. But when I show someone the Vive I always start with Job Simulator. It's such a great start and when you experience the "presence" people talk about, it really is staggering.
Wildberger should be pleased with himself.
Energy efficiency relative to the same compute power for newer devices has been a major factor for not using old computers to perform computations. Maybe this principle carries over to low powered mobile devices, certainly some basic economic principles between computations per power consumption prevail at different orders of magnitude.
Take a look at Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine. It's very different than other RPGs but very cool. It was made by the same author as Nobilis and she has a PhD in Computer Science and it kind of shows :)

It's worth noting that when you construct and prove hypotheses in mathematics you will almost always go through an initial phase of spot testing good examples/counter-examples before you attempt a proof. So these methods are still very complementary even when you turn the abstractness up to 11.

Oh yes, imagine the silence of people peacefully talking with each other and forming their own opinions, and come election time change the government. Having opinions without being told by the opinions makers, crushing.

Protesting is also a personal act. Regardless of the actual usefulness of protesting, protesting definitely helps us to actually not resign. Protesting in itself is a commitment of oneself to a cause. Not protesting is definitely putting oneself away from that cause. So the question of the consequence on the "system" is, to me, second. I protest because I disagree, then I protest to remove the cause of that disagreement.
