This sort of disgusting privacy intrusion plus the rising costs of smartphones and their associated data plans have me thinking that eventually we'll just reach a breaking point where people choose to go back to dumbphones. I'm already nearly at that point myself.
I imagine the problem is that a lot of people who define themselves as "growth hackers" are (a) only interested in promoting whatever it is they are promoting, and (b) like to think they keep a competitive edge by keeping their knowledge close to their chest, rather than sharing it with others.
I think they actually did.

However, even if they didn't, the are intentionally keeping the velocity of Yuan>x-coin low to keep an eye on it. So the BoC might be saying, ok fine, buy bitcoin and then exchange it for trash-coin all you want, and if we see too many capital flows through Y>BTC we'll turn that off cause it's easier.

IIRC Netflix found TLS to be a bottleneck when serving 100 Gbps of static content over HTTPS, but that's an unusual case.

The kTLS paper showed pretty small speedups, so maybe the real motivation is TLS hardware offload.

Is web browser support even relevant on android when there is a google search app?
I think you're agreeing with the post to which you're replying.
A good summary of the article's thesis comes at the end: "instead of telling poor people what they should do to work around a system that’s leaving more and more people behind every year, we need to consider how the system can bend and change to better fit the needs of all people."

I think this thesis is well supported by the rest of the article, which is much more measured than the somewhat click-baity title suggests. I also think that it's generally a bad idea to tell people what they should do without understanding their circumstances in general, and even worse when you don't experience their circumstances. This article doesn't claim that people who haven't lived in poverty can't study it or have an opinion.

As a general recommendation maybe this is ok. But, unrealistic relative to the world we live in. Sometimes you need to use hints. Oracle / PostgreSQL / what have you, are not perfect nor are developers writing the SQL.

Is your customer going to wait for the next version of Oracle? Is your dev team going to fix some sev 3 performance bug?

Hints allow you to use your brain to help the optimizer. Why would you make a hard rule not to use them? Why else are they there?
I wonder if there's an inflection point as income increases. A divorced colleague once joked: why is divorce so expensive -- because it's worth it.

Similarly, I'm sure there are many poor people longing for divorce, but they can't afford it.
I'm no expert on type systems so my definitions are not meant to be theoretically correct, just to describe the practical implications of static and dynamic typing.

What you're talking about seems to be more related to how type systems are implemented, i.e. that dynamically-typed languages are "unityped", such as the one and only "static type" of Python being the PyObject. Thus, when you "bind an unassigned variable and then assign a value later", you're actually implicitly declaring the type to be PyObject.

But it is deceptive to define type systems purely in terms of this implementation detail, because then it would appear as if dynamically-typed languages are untyped (i.e. "everything is one type" is the same as saying "there are no types"). Since we know languages like Python do some type-checking at run-time despite everything being a PyObject, it is more useful, I think, to think of these languages in terms of the practical result rather than in terms of the implementation.

But if that's not what you're saying, I apologize.

Leaked document reveals UK Brexit plan to deter EU immigrants
People don't understand how expensive computers are to most people. My in-laws took me to visit a family in Mexico, (My in-laws live 5 miles from the boarder) seeing real people off the tourist track is and in their home is an eye opener.

Their tiny houses look "quaint" at a distance, but seeing them live in them is different. It was sleeting that day, so they were inside their house with all their blankets on, the one heater wasn't making much a dent in the cold despite all the guests crowded into a room that barely could hold the table. When we went back home they had to sleep in that house: all 5 of them in the one bedroom.

I'm told their income is $45/week, the couple is each working, so figure $90/week. From that they have to make their house payment, buy clothing, food and everything else. Since an American was visiting they were showing off: they probably spent more than a weeks income on just that one meal I ate. (they are too proud to take cash, but we find other ways to pay them back)

A raspberry pi is only $35, but that is more than 1/3rd of their weekly income. It still isn't a useful computer though, you need quite a few more accessories that are not common in poor homes.
Telemetry isn't magic. It might take a few contentious issues off the table but for the ambiguous long term stuff, it still boils down to someone showing some balls and putting their neck on the line. Lumia is a good example where the numbers overruled basic self confidence.

I think a major contributor to FUD in this case is the translated interpretation of "financing trading platforms".

Personally, I do. Homeless or approaching homeless is where you're getting to the point of unworkable. Until that point, you have options, even if you're not informed of them, and even if they're not quick, easy, and convenient.

A family member of mine lived a fairly poor life, and both of his parents passed away by the time he was 15, leaving him to take care of his three younger siblings while living with an uncle that could be outright emotionally abusive. He did good in high school in hopes that an opportunity would present itself, cashed in on his good GPA/ACT score, and pursued a growing field where he knew the pay was survivable (major in computer science). His backup plan was an apprenticeship with the IBEW (linemen eat good in our area), but it never came down to it. He was self-supporting by the time he was 19, and pulling $22 an hour by the time he was 20 doing full time embedded development.

I have other friends who have had to do the same. It takes a lot to be entirely, completely, and totally without options. Whether or not you like your options, or think you're above them, is a different story.
It really depends though. In my state, schools will allow inter-district transfers but only if there are students wishing to leave the "good" school to attend the "bad" one. In practice, this means that there might be a dozen openings for 10,000 students who might apply to transfer. If you aren't a future Rhodes Scholar or Div 1 football superstar, there are no transfer options.
Wait, let’s not conflate the cases you describe, where the trolling may have been and probably was malicious, with the case of No Man’s Land, where lead director flat out lied about the content of the game, and people who couldn’t control their hype fell for it and late raged. In the latter case, any professional shaming—which is the only shaming of Murray I’ve seen—is justified.

Right, and even beyond the income issues, that kind of transition is itself unusual, and correlated with all kinds of other negative events. That tends to happen because they lost their medical license, or were embroiled in a scandal that made them unwanted anywhere, or had a major decline in performance (itself due to addiction or chronic condition, etc).

To be sure, it could very well be that they had some "come to Jesus" moment and decided that's what they really wanted to do in life, and it increased their general happiness and willingness to put effort into all their other relationships. But that, I would think, is the exception, not the rule.

Edit: Though it might be correct to say that the job-change is not a causal driver of the divorce, but merely affected by the real cause.

It's kind of both, or either. If maintaining roads servicing a neighborhood will cost $10k/yr per house in property taxes, the unwillingness of constituents to service that tax load is an inability of politicians to levy that tax.
I remember reading a few days ago that European models were predicting a turn to the north, and US models were predicting a high pressure ridge holding the hurricane to the west.

Anyone know more about this?

I am not arguing that we should stay on coal. I'm suggesting that you dont need to be an evil 1% banker to understand why both rich and poor people can be against windmills.

>No one is asking you to put a turbine in your backyard
Sure, but it is going in someone's backyard, and it isn't as footprintless as people make it seem.

Poor and rich share the horizon alike; I would argue that you are the one in a bubble if it is so difficult for you to wrap your head around why people from all classes may not like wind power, especially when other options exist.I'll

>But the lungs of a poor person are worth less than the view of a rich person
Why haven't you donated all of your income to starving children? Is your comfort worth so much more than theirs? Dont put words in my mouth.

You're refusing to analyse this from the perspective of cost/benefit. All I'm saying is that there is a non zero cost to choosing windmills over other alternatives, and it has nothing to do with classisim. There are documented complaints from farmers about noise and light problems from windmills.

Again, let me spell this out for you, I dont care if it is true or not, there are people who believe it, and it is subjective. Further, who are YOU to make the decision for the helpless poor that you guard over so arrogantly that a handful of cancer deaths in a region are worth a potential eyesore? You know that people still willingly smoke cigarettes, right? Are you smarter than those people? Are you prepared to look them in the face and say that YOU know better than they?

Empires fell during this time in western europe. And we had a civil war in the US.

You forgot the mass extermination of natives in the US due primarily to industrialization. And the civil war which was bloodier than all the other wars we participated in combined.

The nations first to industrialize benefited immensely at the expense of others. But it was extremely bloody in the US as well.

Simply putting your outside AC Condenser Unit on the shady side of a house or have a Tree or Bush shade it can significantly reduce your energy usage. They units themselves are at least 20 Degrees cooler than being in direct sunlight.

I've seen other studies that have suggested lower divorce rates than would be expected for police officers, and that divorce rate varies based on specialty and experience. More experienced police officers are less likely to divorce, as are those working in supervisory roles.

I would provide a link but it was years ago when I read this. I also remember there was some kind of hitch in the data that may have undercounted divorces, but it was consistent across all professions that were part of the data set.
I don't think there's any actual measure on the x-axis. It seems to be done for visual effect.
Have you noticed that most adults don't know what nine times seven is? If you ask them on the street they'll mostly either get it wrong or tell you quite rudely to go away. This is despite (and because of) a decade of grind at school. Or have you noticed that people are unable to hold a conversation in a foreign language despite years of 'study' in a classroom? Whereas an enthusiastic individual can pick up basic conversation for themselves in a matter of months.

This is because coercion in education is: (1) painful, (2) prophetic, (3) it doesn't work!

What happens in real life is that if somebody needs to know something because they are keen to do something else then they will learn it efficiently, 'just in time' and precisely to the extent needed. Assuming their creativity is relatively intact...

Sure, there are places that are actually poor. You have a point there. I'm talking less about those and more about the places which are actually reasonably affluent enough for the school to have a few computers yet have this traditional education system that is only focused on spitting facts and disciplining students rather than educating them to be thinkers and leaders.
This sort of anti-fouling is the holy grail.

Copper based anti-fouling goes back centuries. The USS Constitution was copper bottomed in 1794.

https://ussconstitutionmuseum.org/2015/08/12/copperbottomed/

I remember an NPR story about using extremely hot peppers (adding capsaicin to bottom paint) to defoul.

There was an anti-stick bottom paint but the trouble with it was that it wouldn't stick to hull.

The trouble with copper is that it's a biocide, it kills. You're basically putting poison on the bottom of your bottom which leaches into the soil. Like tributyltin, copper's days are numbered.

It's a hard problem. When I get back into sailing, it'll be dry sailing (put boat in water and haul out when done). BTW, bottom jobs are freaky expensive, $10,000 for a race bottom every year.
It seems weird to pick an example I didn't give, and then refute that example, with the implication that you've offered evidence against my claim.

> No Man’s Sky inhabits this frustrating space alongside games like the nu Deus Ex games, the original X-Com, or the Mass Effect series. It offers something you just can’t get anywhere else, but it does so in a deeply flawed and annoying way.

This really resonated with me. I have a whole pile of Steam games which have fascinating, unique traits, but are 'objectively' bad in that they failed to deliver a solid story, or interface, or mechanics, or all of the above.

- Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator comes to mind; it's a great exploration of cooperative multiplayer design and the possibilities opened up by incomplete information. But it's also clunky and acutely underdeveloped in terms of game modes, balance, and AI. If you want a good game, you'd better dive deep into modding.

- Tharsis also counts; deeply strategic play in a constrained setting, undermined by strategy-destroying levels of randomness.

- Even AAA stuff like Civilization does this to me. Why is Civ great? Because nothing else is Civ. Why is Civ terrible? Because the balance is underwhelming and the AI is catastrophically bad.

- Hell, for years Minecraft was like this. The opening comment about "imagine if Minecraft had been clunky and unintuitive at release" made me laugh, because it was. Deep Survival play has been almost dependent on mods for much of the games history, but the underlying insight was too good to pass up.

So... it's an interesting insight, and it also prompts a question. Why don't more of these intriguing flops prompt more polished attempts?
