You should never trust that people know what they are doing in this industry.
> Nowadays we know that sexual orientation is something that is neither set in stone, nor absolute

At best, the only thing we know is that this is true for some people.

You say it yourself: "people are known" to change / have sexual partners of both genders -- because such people are an exception!

These people are a minority, and you really can't generalise and affirm that this is the rule for the majority.

> If an inscription is older than any inscription in another language, it's possibly older
No, it just means that the first language has an older written tradition.

I really doubt that "the oldest" language" has any meaning at all, given that most (all?) living natural languages gradually evolved from an ancestor language. Like the other poster said, it's nonsensical to say whether Spanish and Portuguese is older because they both just evolved from being a variation of Latin.

Or like, all current variant of English evolved from the English spoken in England some hundred years ago (which is different from British English today). What does it mean to say whether British, American or Australian English is older?
The problem here is that you most likely hear about false positives.
Would the other smartphone makers be happy that their OS be in control of a direct competitor? I would assume the first thing Samsung would do is to branch Android.
If this purchase happens, it will almost certainly not include Vive, from my understanding. Reports today said mobile phone business only. And Vive is being considered for selloff as a separate company.
Google have the money to implement open (as in truly open) VR runtime for it, which neither HTC nor Valve did. Not sure if they will though.

Interestingly, newer models are suggesting that hurricane activity will decrease with global warming.

Basically, as the temperature rises, the colder regions will increase in temperature the most - thus raising the global averages. Because of this lack of heat disparity, less transfer of usable energy, there will be fewer hurricanes and they think they will be weaker in general.

I'm on a tablet, but I can dig out the study (I think), if you want. Google will guide you, otherwise. I was just reading this a month or so back. From a physics viewpoint, it makes sense. Then again, I'm a mathematician and not a climate scientist.
That would require the audio signal to be a single channel right? That or the residents phone would have to be very loud. I'm not sure but I think phones operate on a dual channel (tx/rx) setup which is what allows all participants to talk simultaneously.
Samsung didn't do anything about Google buying Motorola. And that was at a time I'd argue Samsung was much less dominant in the market than it is now. They don't have a whole lot to worry about.

Same here. I too enjoy writing functional code more than I do training neural networks. Most of the classes focus on the training part, but most of the work in practice is running people down to give you data, and cleaning it.

Even sharing datasets is difficult, and I recently wrote a bit about it. https://blog.helmspoint.com/posts/2017/09/05/sharing-machine...

But that doesn't even cover versioning, licensing, permanence, and provenance. The tools available for machine learning training is still nascent, so the experience isn't great.

Hmm, maybe market cap was the wrong comparison to make.

The cryptocurrencies listed in that article are doing pretty well for themselves mining-wise. I suspect that there may be tiny cryptocurrencies traded on some exchanges that could be 51%-attacked by an individual for somewhere between $1,000 and $100,000 to double-spend some high-value transactions. Maybe it's unlikely for the numbers to line up to be profitable and sure enough to pull off, but if it does happen, then that cryptocurrency is toast as soon as someone notices.

>Would you claim that Basque and Spanish are equally old?

If by Spanish you mean the modern history of the language, since its branching off from the other Romance languages, then you could say it's younger, but this is just an accident of naming, caused by the extrinsic fact that there are other surviving dialects of Latin with their own nation states.

If Latin had only survived in the form of Spanish, we would probably either call it Latin, or see Latin as Old Spanish. Either way we wouldn't see it as less old than Basque.

And from a linguistic point of view, unless you think Basque and IE languages derive from separate innovations of language (sort of like wings have evolved separately in birds and bats - analogy rather than homology), the language that is today called Spanish is of course just as old as the language called Basque.

Reminds me of hindu soma:

Soma (Sanskrit: soma) or haoma (Avestan) was a Vedic ritual drink[1] of importance among the early Indians. It is mentioned in the Rigveda, particularly in the Soma Mandala.
It is described as being prepared by extracting the juice from a plant, the identity of which is now unknown and debated among scholars.

In India, it ends up being the availability of records that are (a) decipherable and (b) recognizably in that language. Among the so-called Indian "regional" langauges, the oldest Tamil records date back to about 2300 BC, while the oldest available records of Kannada/Telugu are a few hundreds of years younger. It's quite likely these languages existed long before these written records, but records are what decide the oldness olympics.

People giving up is a different problem. If you have looked for work and determined there is nothing for you out there, it's rational to re-evaluate this periodically, no?

If you can't get on the computer once a month, spend some time on dice and send a few resumes, the problem is not the economy; the problem is your mental health.

I mean, I'm not saying those people shouldn't be helped; but having more jobs available won't help them if they aren't looking. They need a psychologist or social worker or something. Depression is way more treatable than it used to be.
To the commenters suggesting that the FDA should do more to punish this company, consider another alternative: if the FDA actually did less to begin with (while still investigating and providing information transparency), we'd probably be better off.

Instead of relying on the government to fix the situation with slow legislation (which usually ends up with enough loopholes to be circumvented anyway), we should allow the industry to function as an actual free(ish) market. If that were the case, we would already have dozens of better EpiPen alternatives as a result of the previous shenanigans from these companies. In other industries, when a company's product is clearly defective, inferior or overpriced, they lose market share and are forced to either improve the product or go out of business. But when the government plays the role of (slow, expensive, often corrupt) "gatekeeper", that is what creates these abusive monopolies.

I would assume that it's something developed internally at Amazon. Networking inside of AWS isn't standard fare and I doubt something like NetScaler or F5 products would be able to be used. Generally speaking, they aren't using TCP/IP behind the curtain, to move packets between nodes. AWS has even created their own routing hardware/software because no other company could do what they need at the scale that they need.

To be clear, it uses a similar mechanism to 2FA messages to place the call but there is only one authentication factor in this case.

My question is what kind of trouble can I cause by calling the inbound number from my call box? It picks up so presumably it is listening to something.

IPFS is cool tech but "popular" might be overselling it a bit. Furthermore it's still unclear why they would ever need more than a quarter billion dollar to build their products when they managed to build IPFS with a tiny fraction of that.

I'm not saying they're necessarily dishonest but it shows that the current ICO system is rather broken. Instead of slowly building up investments in rounds as your technology proves itself ICOs incentivize you to raise ridiculous amounts of money right at the start.

It's not quite like that. The number of transactions on the network has been steadily increasing because there are plenty of reasons to do your shopping in bitcoin, as 140 million Americans will find out after the Equifax hack.
Yes and no, industry also has it's fair share of monopolies that gatekeep themselves. If a company becomes big and powerful enough it can write tailored legislation and corrupt the right people so that other competitors have no chance.

In this case I'd say you're probably right because the EpiPen is a very simple product, so you'd find a lot of potential competitors, even some with good enough funding to contend with the current market players. However with more complicated medical devices it's harder and harder to compete, because you need so much upfront research money, that you in fact always get a anti-competitive monopoly or oligopoly.
That's true; there's cooperation everywhere and at every level. But there's competition too. There are of course many organisms that kill and maim others to make a living.

So the divine unity that the mystics, poets and psychonauts speak of cannot derive from nature per se, as many people believe. In my comment I tried to give an alternate explanation.
People should be asking just how Equifax ended up with any of your private information. Do you authorize anyone to share this sensitive information with them?
My comment might have implied that these grounds were nice on the outside. The grounds keeping was done anywhere that prospective students could see. On the inside, the school was converting the study rooms in the dorms or pushing them towards a local hotel because they accepted more students than there were rooms for on campus.

I had to live on campus for one year and the room was 182 square feet for 2 people to live in with their bed, desks, clothes, and everything else for the year. With this little space they would also kick you out during summer and holidays so you got 8 months of the year there where they currently charge 6,838. It is not much better than a prison in terms of space or looks on the inside. Even the mattresses were the same as the ones you'd find at a prison or summer camp.

I still agree with you that education is important. Schools are no longer selling an education though. They are selling an overpriced "college experience" and giving you the same amount of knowledge that you could get with wikipedia and some text books, and they charge extra for the textbooks
This is what you call "a theory", but it's one with no evidence to back it up. Can you point to other videos of electric grid damage that look similar?

>Our office cleaner is a recent IT graduate.

Dirty secret about the "IT" degrees. I know managers with MIS, CIS, CIT, and similar degrees, but I don't know anyone who got such a degree before they had a solid IT job, who went on to get a solid IT job.

Yes, the guidance councilor will imply that it's like a CS degree without the math, but as far as I can tell, it's the "management addon" to your existing IT skills.

As far as individual contributor jobs, at least in my experience? you are better off with a philosophy degree.
> Would you claim that Basque and Spanish are equally old?

Think. How could it possibly be otherwise?

> If people have been speaking Language A for 2 millennia, it's 2 millennia old. If they've been speaking Language B for 15 centuries, it's 15 centuries old. Just because A and B are both spoken today doesn't make them equally old.

But you just made that up. As has already been pointed out, all modern languages have been spoken for exactly the same period of time, with a few rare exceptions. The fact that two languages are both spoken today is sufficient to conclude that they are equally old, unless you happen to know exactly when one of them originated.

1) I know so many programs which are the same size or bigger than your "well-known" programs you probably never heard of but still use daily - They are just not desktop programs, a place where C++, for various reasons, is often the language of choice, but desktop programs are (for better or worse) just a small subset of all programs written.

Erm...JSON allows whitespace last I checked. \n (ie the actual \x0a) is a whitespace character, and so can appear as a discarded token in JSON. So you would basically have to restrict to a subset of JSON -- it's not actually JSON anymore at that point.

What happens when you stop your 51% attack? The participants whose party you ruined can simply roll back the chain to before your attack and continue business as usual. 51% attacks are expensive because they must be sustained. Sure, you could try to take the coins and exchange them quickly, but if you attacked a coin with a big enough community (Bitcoin) the message would spread so fast that there would be a coordinated effort from stopping you cashing out. If someone just wanted to destroy a coin without caring to exchange for their currency of choice (like a government), well, even they would have to sustain a perpetual goose chase since people can just abandon the attacked chain and take up another and only provide support to the chain(s) that are not being attacked. It would take word of mouth, but we are using Internet where messages spread to millions with seconds.
> it’s much more effective to focus your effort on one thing.

This is the gist I got from this post, and while I agree with the statement I think it is too simplistic.

I am one of those persons that "have a long list of goals, desires, and wants for your life" as teased in the article. I think it's clear that focus helps to achieve an item on that list. It's the issue of deciding what to focus on, when multiple items are competing for the 24 hours we have per day. Most life-advice, as the article, starts off with stating the conflict and immediately jumps to the conclusion. The hard part is in the middle.

Personally, I came to the conclusion that everything I postpone to a later stage in life might just as well never materialise. If I can't live with that thought, then it has to be done concurrently.

That's probably different for short-term project that the article uses as examples, but these typically aren't the items I'm conflicted about.
Seems like a reasonable punishment for such criminal negligence for a corporation would be revocation of the patents protecting their monopoly. A corporation does not deserve a government-sanctioned monopoly if it is negligent in how it uses that monopoly power.

Probably payouts from the current manufacturer to stay out of the market. Those payoffs are probably greater than the profit they could make as an off-brand generic.

Requiring financial transparency among all possible parties to regulators and banning collusion like the above would actually be the correct way to ensure the market functions properly.
