True, to an extent. You are right in that that residents of SLC (plus similar areas like Park City and Ogden) are politically disenfranchised due the state being something of a theocracy.

However, SLC itself is actually pretty liberal and has a lot to offer. It's far from perfect (mainly: air quality issues in winter and the political issues), but anywhere you choose has a different set of compromises. Is it right for you? Probably not, but I promise it's a better place to live than it looks from the outside.
Private pilot with 20 yrs experience here...

To say that a 737 would have "no problem" would be overly optimistic. A 737, like all commercial airliners, is pretty tough, but there are plenty of things in a hurricane that could bring one down. There's hail, up-and-downdrafts that far exceed the capability of the aircraft to overcome them, and turbulence severe enough to flip the plane inverted. The least likely event is turbulence severe enough to structurally damage the plane, though even that is possible, and hail could definitely damage the plane, especially the engines, to the point where it would no longer be airworthy. You might make it, but you'd be rolling some pretty serious dice.

Landing in a hurricane would be impossible. You can handle being kicked around in the air because there's nothing to hit. But near the ground you need reasonably stable air in order to make a controlled landing. Anything more than around 50 knots is pretty much a show-stopper for any civilian aircraft, and even much slower winds than that can present significant challenges if they're gusty or not aligned with the runway.

You would also need an elaborate operation involving tons of people to hijack a blockchain-based e-voting system. The beauty of blockchain is that anybody could verify their own vote on the public ledger (eg. like etherscan.io for Ethereum).

I don't know why people have so much faith in black box paper-based voting systems. There's absolutely no way for any of us to verify that our own votes really went through. If there was vote rigging in Florida or New Mexico in 2000, then none of us would know.

In South Korea's 2012 presidential election (won by Park Geun-hye who's now in jail), there's reasonable reason to suspect that the voting may have been manipulated [1]. There was even a documentary made on it called "The Plan". Even if one dismisses this as mere conspiracy, the reality is that there's absolutely no way for us to verify it.

The move to electronic voting is inevitable, and I long for the day that this is commonplace because then it would enable us to do cool things like direct democracy and liquid democracy.

You have a point on the expensive but the rest is factually not true. Modern BT codecs are CD quality and modern BT chipsets will cut out less than the movement of a headphone cable in your pocket will.
Another name for sign + short representation of magnitude + mantissa is Floating Point, which also sorts lexicographically for positive values.
Take off and landing are especially dangerous in a hurricane; where wind gusts can exceed a difference of 50 knots.

> hyperbolic reporting that disregards nuance to attract clicks from the lowest common denominator is much more widespread and insidiously damaging. I'd argue that it plays a large role in the polarization of society.

So, which is better? That? Or accurate, nuanced reporting that the everyman does not even attempt to read because his eyes glaze over before he's done parsing the first sentence?

The problem is not with the news, the problem is that this is what human nature is. The vast majority of people are amazingly bad at absorbing information regarding things beyond their immediate interests and horizon.

For you.

Wires are a definite downside to me and many others. I see this problematic description pop up a lot around here and other sites. What is problematic for you may not be problematic for others or even the majority. This is how we ended up here.

In my own use case, I love the AirPods, I don't think they "blow", and I only have to charge them occasionally since the case keeps them charged. I have yet to experience these downsides that you claim and yet I still have the benefit of not needing wires. You can continue to dislike wireless and say wires aren't a downside but you can't just state it as some kind of universal fact. People are different. Some people will like things that others don't.

If you dig through the data here [1] you will see that the annual average hours worked by Americans has decreased over the years. The same is true for the French, British, and Germans. Some of that more recent decline might be due to underemployment, but I think it stands in contrast to your accusation that longer hours are some type of new norm.

"We all have running water" is also a huge understatement on the improvements that have been made to American living conditions over the last several decades. As a nation we have bigger and better homes, safer and more reliable cars, cleaner air and water, unlimited access to knowledge, and the list goes on and on.

Umm, Number 1 in your link contradicts number 2, first they claim it is not helpful for long term relief, then go on to say it is helpful for long term relief.

Further in typical UK practice they claim it is not helpful but offer no alternative treatments, claiming it should be discontinued even if there are no alternative.

basically what I said "Suck it up buttercup" but they state it in a more PC and nanny government terminology

Again, No pain Killer, just walk it off or deal with it. That is the UK policy on long term chronic Pain. Suck it up and learn to live with it.

>No, these are evidence based restrictions.

No infact they are not, not in the case of the DEA/US Drug Control Policy anyway

There is not a single drug control policy in the US that is "evidence based" most of is not even about the actual drugs, it is about power, control, money, and about 100 other things but not public safety or drugs
I think the best way to get into this area will be through networking. Perhaps work on finding a good conference or meetup group where you're likely to meet a Cobol developer.

Now, as the exactly what sorts of events you're likely to meet a stereotypical Cobol developer at....I'm not sure. Perhaps look up your local shuffleboard and canasta clubs and go from there. :)

What is still hyperbolic, since that link is still too tenuous to even call attention to it. The study does not really deserve a mainstream paper headline, but if it must have one, it should be about researchers looking for a link, not a link (maybe) existing.
Totally agree. State of information is moving in a worrying direction. Example: verrit.com - "verifying" subjective political statements.

I don't quite follow what you're trying to say. My comment makes no suggestion of any coincidences, nor mention any timing to use calm air effectively.

My point was that the statement "C++ still produces the fastest and most memory efficient programs." is basically meaningless without any context. There are a fair number of situations where other languages can beat C++ in either or both of those metrics.

"C++ can produce very fast and memory efficient programs." would have been fine -- or some variant that compared it to specific languages, such as you do above.

I don't think it's being pedantic at all to ask what the OP meant. It was a vague statement that (depending on what they meant) is either true or false.

Human rights are things like voting, eating, drinking, and rule of law.

The bathroom bill is an embarrassment, it's discrimination, and it needs repealed. However, it's impact is not on the same level as those other things, or even on the same level as a broad denial of service ala "Whites Only" - in part because it's completely unenforceable.

Furthermore, even under your definition of human rights, what other rights are denied uniquely in the state?

Another reason "gouging" has good side effects (including incentivizing companies to rush more flights down there ASAP, driving down "gouging" prices) is that it helps stop hoarding of scarce resources:

http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/07/news/economy/gas-shortages-f...

^-- Here, Floridians aren't "gouged" for gas, so they stock up on more than they need "just in case", leaving the pumps empty and leaving companies with little incentive to rush their workers down w/ more gas.

I mean, do you want to drive a gas truck to Florida right now?

A bit off topic but I have been working on a native Mac slack app on and off for the past couple of years. Truly native, no web views except for the Slack oauth login.

Vagrant abstracts virtual machines. If you want to simulate multiple machines on the same computer you need VMs. You can have multiple docker containers running in those VMs that communicate across VMs. You can then deploy to real hardware having tested the communication across machines.

Task-tracking systems are a subset of "case management" systems. They are not "just for programmers"; there are close ties with CRM, supply-chain management and other business software fields.

One case to consider is a company that runs an interactive web site or other business application. Customers are going to have problems and submit them to a tracker; customers are not going to know for sure if problems are at the "ops" level or if they are software bugs, wanted features, etc.

It is possible to have one tracking system for both, or there could be separate "dev" and "ops" trackers.

The very diversity of task tracking tools indicates that people have been thinking too small; if you are part of some value chain (aren't we all?) your customers will collect issues, involve you in solving them, and you will sometimes involve your vendors.

Not feasible, you say? "Boil the Ocean?"

One thing I do know is the odds of making a dent in the issue tracking problem in little ways based on how little real progress is being made.

To me, this screams Philadelphia.

45 minutes to NYC, 2 hours to DC, two of the biggest talent pools in the country, in a city of 2 million that has been making significant steps forward in the last 10 years.

It is cheap, offers all the urban amenities one could desire, it's close to the beach, I would absolutely move back if I got a good job offer.

If Bezos is into politics, Philadelphia is in a purple state. He will have a massive influence there.

I used to live in Philadelphia, I really loved my time there. It is a hugely underrated city IMO, and probably the most urban feeling in the country behind NYC and Chicago.

Philly is as multicultural as you can get, try taking a walk in Center City and you'll see what I mean.

Comcast has made a home in the city, and I know that they have made an excellent deal with the city government considering the massive investments they are making in Center City.

I know there are other options, I really don't see anything more fitting that Philadelphia though besides maybe Denver or Twin Cities.

A Bloom Filter Using C and Python
I address many points.

1. I addressed how the OP blamed the doctors as the source of people becoming addicted to herion, I believe that to be false

2. I address why in a few limited cases where person starts out on prescriptions and ends up on heroin they are likely there due to aggressive and unethical Drug Control Policy enforced by the DEA

3. The OP implied that Opaties are Over proscribed, i disagree. Further would like to know if the OP has ever suffered or know anyone to suffer from Chronic Plain, and if they would enjoy seeing their loved on suffer daily because of the Actions of the DEA.

You are correct it is a Rant ont eh DEA however, I am 1000000000% opposed to the war on drugs, I feel it is single largest source of freedom in the nation. it is directly lead to the erosion on almost all constitutional rights, has put doctors having to choose between what is best for themselves (i.e staying out of jail) and what is best for the patient (i.e proper pain medication) and has been an abject failure in reducing drug us.
>Total private land value in the US is in the trillions.

>Landowners don't make profits from automation as much as corporations do.

Much of that land value is due to demand for space rather than productivity. Corporations generate wealth by adding value (at least theoretically) and benefit greatly from automation, so there is cash flow to tax.

Google and Apple are hardly the only corporations. They were just convenient examples of those who are successful at large-scale tax evasion and yet enjoy a generally good public image, along with Amazon, Facebook, et al.
Now you only need to convince everybody that nuclear power isn't literally the devil. And I guess you'll need some taxes to pay for the CO2 scrubbers.

I suspect that Al Gore's name had the biggest impact on the polarization of the score. He's been a polarizing figure (for whatever reason) for a very long time. Not to mention it's a "sequel".

I'm not attacking the man in any way, but I do wonder if furthering the polarization of the issue using his name (which he cannot reconcile with the public at this point) does the movement a disservice. I place more blame on us as a species than Al Gore himself, but here we are.
I think it's silly and demeaning to think of college students as being that naive. I was one very recently and believe it or not we aren't that way. Especially ones who study engineering at top schools like CMU.

Everyday I talk to someone who isn't informed about one subject or another. It should be a common skill for people to put their selves in the other person's shoes and explain it at their level. When a non-cs person asks me about what exactly my job is I don't start going into details about Hadoop and Spark etc, I talk at a level they could understand about data.

As far as the autism comment, it was a little offensive but I meant it in terms of ability to read the social situation, not cs knowledge.

I may be a little harsh here, because everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. And there is nothing wrong with that. I've done embarrassing things with recruiters too, believe me. I just want to make sure people realize it's a mistake and learn from it.

To those who are curious - Most of the COBOL jobs would be on the Enterprise side. Banks , Insurance , Retails , Automobile , Airlines , Utility Companies , US Government , etc. Mainly hosted on Mainframes

It's not for everybody. You cant do all those cool shit (compared to modern languages and tech stacks) - it has its own stack. One of the main barrier to entry is access to a Mainframe. Sure there are emulators , but nothing beats playing around with the real thing. If IBM really wanted to secure talent , they should really address this. People are willing to pay for access as long as it doesnt burn a hole in one's pocket.
