I tried to book my honeymoon with a travel agent. We figured we could use some good advice, and (at least in canada) when you book with them you get some bonus insurance.

They basically told me it wasn't worth their time unless we were booking a cruise.
No, it seems pretty mundane to me.
The hospital administrator told him about the law in the conference call. Also, his stated job is blood collection, that ruling was directly relevant to his work, he should have known it. Also ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Something interesting I found in the wikipedia page:

> One reply to such criticisms is that even though the Drake equation currently involves speculation about unmeasured parameters, it was intended as a way to stimulate dialogue on these topics. Then the focus becomes how to proceed experimentally. Indeed, Drake originally formulated the equation merely as an agenda for discussion at the Green Bank conference.
Your premise doesn't hold up very well. For example, in a given year over 50% more white people are shot and killed by police than eg black people. There's a sizable population difference, which points to the obvious imbalance of abuse by police toward black people, however that's still an immense number of white people getting shot. It would be considered insane in almost any other country. You're underestimating the awareness of the problem by white people, they've noticed the substantial amount of abuse & police militarization going on (which is why so many white people now support doing something about it, from ending the war on drugs to body cameras etc, the majority of white people support these changes).
> I know people who are making mid six figures working for Google-tier companies. But I don't think there are very many of those kinds of people - hundreds, maybe.

This is the thing that annoys me the most about these conversations. Some people take a few outliers and use them as proof that the rest of the bell curve is [ bad at negotiating | incompetent | lazy ]. Drives me nuts. I can name several multimillionaire business owners. Nobody's going around saying your bootstrapped one man startup should be raking in multiple millions of dollars a year or there's something wrong with you.
You are absolutely correct - WeChat is what it is because of the great firewall. It's not that China blocked other messaging apps (though they do now), it's that China crippled the web and as a result users have been driven into these apps.

You can see it in other ways as well - In the US people generally shop on the web, but in China people shop in an app and the web version is not as good.

I guess some might call WeChat payments and mini programs innovative, but they're not very impressive technically. Take mini programs, they are basically a web app hosted within WeChat. It's kinda cool, like Facebook apps were kinda cool, but neither holds a candle to the power of a real browser. So Facebook apps were kind of a fad and then we got bored and went back to the open web. But Chinese people can't do that. It's not that they can't have web browsers, it's that they don't have any web innovation. It's not surprising, the web is so locked down with license requirements to even put up a simple web site. And so there's no good hosting options, which in turn makes it more productive just to stay on WeChat and sell your wares though Alibaba.
> Why does it matter it is "biased"?

because "Biased" isn't really the term that Breitbart deserves. "liars", "frauds", "propaganda" are closer.
I'm always more than disappointed by who generally becomes a police officer. I dream of a world where police officers are obsessed with justice and have book clubs in which they discuss Peter Singer and Kant like software engineers might do with GoF for example.
It's just whataboutism and false equivalencies. Standard tactics.
Doesn't matter much if they have the right or not; they probably want to go home to their kids later that night so they'll stay out of it if they value their safety.
HA! I had just copied those exact 2 paragraphs and was going to paste them here but you summed it up well enough
Well, the latest here is that the police department has placed the cop on leave, the city attorney general is calling for criminal charges, the mayor has called it unacceptable, both the police department and the citizen's review board are investigating the incident. So that seems like serious responses are happening. Justice might, just possibly, be done.

I think it's disappointing that all this action happened after the video surfaced, though. For a month after the incident, nothing happened. (Or, perhaps, nothing happened that the public heard about.)

Earth-shattering discovery!
Cops constantly protecting each other instead of reporting each other makes it very hard to trust the system.
The problem is not that the money is private, but that it's donation relies on the compassion of individuals, not on laws.

As it should be. Generosity should not be forced on people via fear of the law (i.e the consequences for not paying your taxes). Even further, a private citizen is often far more in control of the effective distribution of their resources as compared to government.
The thing that troubles me is not that people tried a dumb idea. It's that they spend $120m trying a dumb idea.

That is 100 seed rounds that never happened. Could we have learned the lessons here for less?

I'm gueessing yes; the ridiculously over-engineered [1] juice press is a good sign that efficient use of capital was just not a priority.

Achieving Zero False Positives with Security Automation
Having worked for a local municipality IT: All the electronic information held by the city is public property. Emails, documents, videos; everything. When asked to release information, they are allowed to redact certain personal data points about citizens (such as SSNs) but they are obliged to release the requested information. This is because the public bought those servers, pays the employees, pays the bills to keep everything running, and therefore owns it all.
Thank you. Especially since you write that "every sentence in the article rings true" for you, can you expand on this from the article:

>engineers that you know to be otherwise reasonably competent simply choosing not to bring up glaring and obvious problems.

What does it refer to? How would/should someone guard against it? Normally we are usually used to being able to receive a bit of push-back (maybe polite) if we propose something with a glaring and obvious problem. Does this mean engineers would build something that doesn't work at all? (For some reason that's completely obvious to them.) In point of fact, I'm not sure what the article refers to, as it doesn't give an example. Could you give an example of what you think they mean, and how someone might protect against this effect? Thanks.
Well, I think is sort of does when you use the Rc types, right? It's just much more explicit than a type modifier, it's a type wrapper that requires requires some level of additional code ornamentation in some instances when using later as well. It's just not really any different than using a library in C++ that offers the same, except that in Rust's case the library is part of the stdlib.
Except even if you accept his claims it was still a terrible memo and he deserved to get fired.

Legally there may be grounds to attempt it for safety reasons for patients (would have to look at state law most likely); I'm skeptical though, the police seem to always have overruling authority in such instances (for example they can dictate the actions of firemen, arrest them at the scene of a fire if they don't obey commands, etc). In practical terms, either way, trying it could likely be a death sentence (multiple cops were on the scene).
Math support wasn't his personal priority. From the FAQ:

"Does it support mathematics?

Not yet. I understand that mathematics is important in scientific typesetting, but SILE is targeting a particular niche in the humanities. That said, it's not impossible, and it should not be difficult for someone to port MathJax from Javascript to Lua and implement mathematical typesetting as an add-on package."

I don't see what is particularly puzzling about implementing the things that matter to you personally, and leaving other things to contributions. I especially don't see a problem with leaving things to add-on packages if it's possible to leave them out of the core. Papers with complex math in them are a pretty small percentage of the overall number of books/articles in the world.

Also I like the aesthetic. YMMV.

LiteralParser is used for JSON and for JSONP.

To do JSONP quickly we have magic logic to handle

(a(.b)=json | a(.b)\(json\))+

which we parse and call directly to avoid jumping through the interpreter. We need this because people still insist on sending megs of data as executable script. because reasons.

This is hilarious.

> This code looks suspicious inside the lex() function:

if (*m_ptr == ';') {
token.type = TokSemi;
token.end = ++m_ptr;
return TokAssign;
}

that does indeed seem questionable. I'm so sad I wrote it :(

Know that feeling.
I would say the much more likely scenario is that she's not necessarily some wholly engineered creation like Lonelygirl15 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonelygirl15) but rather just someone fully taking advantage of her sexuality and getting a lot of help from people.

Let's say your code is making some calls and gets back an object. Can you list all the important methods on that object from the top of your head? With a statically typed language IDE can always do that for you

That's really an issue with class-based programming, where you have lots of ad-hoc methods, you have identified one of the complexity it brings. You need the bloaty IDE to make that problem bearable to code in, because as you said, who is going to remember all that crap?, but it doesn't make the problem/complexity of the system go away.

Plenty of reasons:

Higher base clock on the 7700k, biggest reason for entertainment alongside:

Higher OC potential (back in the 4790k days 5Ghz on air was something else, for the 7700k not getting 5Ghz is considered "losing the silicon lottery")

Cheapest 7800X motherboard is 100$ more than cheapest 7700k motherboards (which are still quite good) because X299 is a HEDT platform

Most entertainment machines won't benefit from quad channel over dual channel in a meaningful way.

The 7700k is generally regarded as the fastest gaming CPU available, that's why so many benchmarks use it. I'm pretty sure AMD used it to showcase Vega because even if it becomes a bottleneck, no other CPU on the market can be "less of a bottneck"

And I'll add, this is all with my entertainment/gaming hat on.

For a dev machine where I'd expect to work with compiled languages or compiling OSes I'd definitely go with more cores.

I agree they should have done what they said they would do and should have talked to potential customers before making something that was not wanted or needed. And I do not dispute what you say about the product not being needed. I also agree that the money would have been better used on other companies but personally I think that the employees are the losers here (as are the investors). If the employees truly believed in their product then the employees have worked on something that has gone nowhere. All their work and effort is gone. That cannot be regained. These people are out of work. And for that reason, it is sad.
You talk as if the negative press wasn't justified. And as if journalists were supposed to consider a company's convenience when writing about them. And as if investors were such empty vessels that they are blown hither and thither by each thing they read.

If one negative article about your product can kill your company, your problem is not a couple of journalists. It's your product.
So let's see:

* Accepting the investments and actually delivering what's promised. Massive risk from organizing/coordinating an actual team, pissing off authorities, huge contact surface with many involved people that will happily help FBI trace the founders.

* Running away with the money. Low risk, low contact surface (website + bitcoin, similar to WannaCry?), 100% anonymous. Nobody will run to the police claiming that they have invested into something illegal and looked down upon lured in by a 200% ROI promise and now want they money back.

Stepping into the founders' shoes, I'd say it's much riskier to NOT run away with the money...

Why? Could you explain what was the problem, why plain JS was the solution?
Whatever their motivation, there are employees who had no say in the decisions the founders made who are now out of work. It is sad that the founder and those who make product decisions etc did not think of their employees when they went off in a direction with little hope of success and mainly because they failed to carry out basic business research.
Surprisingly, I didn't have a hard time reading that. Maybe because I had a good idea of what the context would be before hand... Hmmmm, interesting thought of the day.
Where in typeobject.c? I looked, and there's a lot of stuff related to slots, but I don't see any caching.

Also I did a speed test on my machine. My results are the same as the ones I've found through Google: __slots__ is not much faster. It's maybe 20% faster, whereas if it was really a dict lookup vs. index lookup I would expect it to be an order magnitude faster, or at least 5 times faster.

To be clear, I'm claiming that every time you do "p.x" with a class with __slots__, at least one dictionary lookup occurs. It's not like p.x in C or Java.

I could be wrong, but I've never heard the claim you're making, and I don't see any evidence it's true.

I'm a libertarian. I think that the UBI could allow for economic growth based solely on the power it as to eliminate the welfare trap. However, this would only work as a replacement for all welfare, though. It would have to replace welfare, food stamps, social security, etc, with the exception of medicaid and medicare.

I support UBI only as a replacement for existing (bad) welfare systems. I think UBI in conjunction with simplified tax code could inject life into the inner cities. Add onto that decriminalization of all controlled substances, and you've got a huge boon.
Wait a minute, though: Every adult gets $1,000/month. That's $12,000/year. How many adults do we have? Well, the US population is 326,000,000. Median age is 37, so I'll guess that 3/4 of the population is "adult" (age >= 18). That means that paying this handout will cost $12,000/person * 244,500,000 people = $2.934 trillion. That's... not a net win.
Hey man this is really inspiring. I've been thinking about switching from web dev to security.

I'm not a lawyer either, but it would seem Signal would have less culpability operating a network of users knowing that they do not have any access to the contents of the messages and thus have an implicit impetus to do nothing. Then again, they could be held in contempt of court (maybe?) because sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting La La La isn't really a good defense for ignorance of a fact, if they were to be given evidence that illegal pornography was being transmitted through their servers.

Basically, it seems like it probably would have less effect on them than say Tumblr, which does in fact host a lot of pornographic material in the clear, but they could still be thrown into the mix depending on circumstances.
Yes! My last hobby project (I explicitly point out "hobby" project instead of "side revenue", but the article mentions "hobby" in the first sentence as well) was exactly that.

Because it was a hobby project, I went completely mad on it. I built my own SPDIF interface, from scratch, using an FPGA. I let the hardware broadcast the sound frames over Ethernet. I also re-implemented Sony's proprietary consumer electronics control protocol, in hardware as well (a microcontroller could have easily done that instead). I greatly overengineered a circuit board, despite having a functional "test setup" already that did the job more than well enough. I wrote largely unnecessary client software, using language extensions I've never used before.

The task at hand could have been solved with buying a cheap USB sound adapter from eBay and some manual work instead. Had I gone down that route, I probably would have completed the task in a fraction of the time that building this project took.

But I had so much fun along the way and learned so much about electronics, FPGAs, SoCs, static typing for python etc., all because it was a project for me and nobody else.

One big lesson I've learned, though, is that having an actual task you want to solve greatly helps you in finishing your project. I ran out of steam a number of times and the project fell to the wayside, but because the underlying task was not fulfilled yet, I always went back to it and quickly got completely focused on it again. Projects that I only did for playing around and learning most often got abandoned.

Drones are useful in most unexpected areas. I've recently been involved in a project that is using drones in order to identify possible sites of missing persons after armed conflicts. Missing, unfortunately, here means drones are used to identify possible locations of graves and especially mass graves.

Challenge is that using this tech approach is severely under-funded for now, until it yields (more) results when it can then be shown to relevant places for funding (military and civil sources). It's not my project, I'm somewhat related to it, but I'm looking to connect with drone makers as well as multi-spectral imaging sensor makers which could participate in the project. Project is located in Croatia, but is not limited to it, of course. It's well-suited, unfortunately, for this project though. If anyone knows something, or is a drone or imaging sensor maker, and is interested, shoot me an email - it's in my profile page.
Irish immigrants during the 1840-1900 period were not initially considered "white", nor were Italians & Spanish during their period of peak immigration (1890-1920 & 1830-1860, respectively). You see this with NINA (No Irish Need Apply) signs around the turn of the century, and with old WW2 movies where the Italian and Spanish characters are often still called "wops" or "spics". There are some fascinating books and articles on this, eg. https://books.google.ie/books/about/How_the_Irish_became_whi...

The history of immigration and of "whiteness" in the U.S. is a fascinating study in cognitive biases. If you look at groups that we consider fully American now (eg. Irish-Americans) vs. how we considered them when they first immigrated, it's night-and-day (except for African-Americans people, who were shat upon when they were first brought over and are still shat upon now). It's clear, historically, that we were mistaken in the past, and yet people still make the same mistake, probably because it is evolutionarily useful to consider yourself superior to other people and socially useful to do so in groups. Indeed, even in the most PC, liberal, progressive, colorblind, diversity-affirming circles, the same dynamic still plays out, except that the "other" in those cases is rural dwellers, or people who didn't graduate from college, or folks who live in the South.

I believe "tinfoil hat" implies illogic as well. Reasonable trade-offs aren't illogical. Also, it's been proven that it's entirely inside the realm of possibility that state agents are infiltrating our systems and gathering sensor data, and it's far more likely than alien mind probes that can be thwarted with tinfoil...
Expecting a stable API in a so complex space, with so much untested assumptions, so much "research" (or experimenting), is .. wishful thinking.
