Because ... They are not charity? If there is a market for Amazon's offer, they surely can pick the one that best suits them. And the line seems getting really long.
This reveals why I didn't see anything on my phone on first time visiting it. My browser just show a blank page, then seconds later the contents show up.
Rentier economies are economies that are not efficient and lead to social instability.

That is an assertion, but I bet it is true.

Why is it deeply unfair to inherit wealth? It is the main reason why people work so hard to achieve the American dream: to pass their wealth and opportunity on to the next generation.

Your premise is also incorrect, but not uncommon. Many people look at wealth as if it is a fixed state of affairs; i.e. one is 'wealthy' or 'poor' as a matter of class dictate or caste. And the fact is, unlike the peasantry and nobility of yore, wealth can be lost or gained from generation to generation (and even within one generation). Inherited wealth is a stalwart against poverty, not an impediment to it. Every person who inherits some degree of wealth, whether it's a family heirloom necklace or an apartment building, is that much less likely to be a ward to society, taking money out of the economy rather than being more productive and contributing to an ever growing pie.

In fact, wealthy people of the ilk you are talking about tend to piss their money away, which is good for the economy. The yacht industry alone employs 50k+ people as crew. These are not super wealthy people, these are the '99%' who depend on that livelihood, and are using to build their own nest egg for their own families. Do you think they would be better off being taken out of a fair labor market, with opportunities for advancement and creating new products and services, in favor of being given government handouts instead?
I subscribe to moral relativism, so any statements about morality I make are just my opinion, nothing more.
I've heard CPU companies do this sometimes for things like cache capacity (maybe even number of cores).
And even if you did, how much of that is luck? Is an "investor" thousands of times more valuable to society than a janitor?

Any rss feed for this?

This is awesome. It's quick, to the point, efficient, and allows me to get what I need, then it gets the fuck out of my way.

I'm even willing to put money into this. Is that possible?

See it can go both ways, and people have to give both ways.
Is there a collaborative community effort for "fixing" websites to make this "100 steps forward"? The relative ease and the large benefit of doing so make it surprising I haven't seen a list of lite websites maintained by volunteers.
There's also Ublock Origin(general ad block, with highly granular options), and Privacy Badger.
If my words are inaccurate, point out that they're wrong. I don't feel bad at all for highlighting their behavior. The mods actively breed discontent and sow discord -- that is the purpose of the subreddit. They, from the top-down, encourage people to feel this way.

My examples aren't cherry-picked. It was ten seconds of effort after sorting by "top of the last month." I could post many more if you'd like.
There's a reason they call it the bastard verdict. A system with three verdicts creates an uncomfortable muddying of the presumption of innocence. A verdict that implies "we think you did it, but we can't prove it" might be comforting to a plaintiff, but it's potentially hugely damaging to a defendant.
I have an uncle who inherited everything, and is best known for pontificating about what sort of character you have to have, to have what he has.
For the first one, would engines like v8 be smart enough to optimize it so it isn't wasting time on a pointless if-branch? (I'd imagine not, as it would be pretty hard for the engine to know that all the record.bool's are booleans.)

It's been suggested, but AFAIK some find fundamental aspects of software development to make it hard if not impossible for it to ever be True Engineering. I'm pulling this out of my back pocket on a Saturday evening, so Google for more, but there are arguments on both sides that go back some years. Heck, google "is software development engineering" and you'll find long Quora threads on the topic.
Robots, well, machines, have taken over certain fields. Take agriculture for example. 100 years ago America had 30 million farmers. These 30 million jobs have now largely disappeared and been replaced by highly automated farming machines. There are only ~3 million farmers left in America.

And in no way this is a problem for society. New technology created new job opportunities.
You did make a moral statement and presented it as fact, so you are under some obligation to defend it, I think.
BULL.

The somewhat pointed and picky "tone" of Daniel's blog post might be clearer if one looks at the comments from Vigna (the author of Xorshift128+) on one of his other recent posts: https://lemire.me/blog/2017/08/22/cracking-random-number-gen...

Compare that to the exchange Daniel has with O'Neill (author of the competing PCG random number generator) in another recent post: https://lemire.me/blog/2017/08/22/testing-non-cryptographic-...
Chinese tax rates are not low. Only the base is lower, but taxes in china actually wind up being quite high.
Yes, but /r/coontown was banned for similar behavior. I think that ban was justified. People have been calling for The_Donald to be banned for a long time. /r/physicalremoval was just banned for inciting violence.

It does matter whether people are saying this, and how frequently they're saying it.
The absolute worst thing about cnn.com is the auto-playing videos. I've been in quiet places and clicked a CNN news link only to have a video start blasting on the speakers. It's not only annoying but a huge waste of mobile bandwidth.

Now I just need an extension that rewrites all CNN urls to this site.
Interesting. I was going to email the link to some co-workers that work with XML frequently. I wrote a nice little email with the link, then decided to put the text of the billion laughs attack into the email. Select the full XML in the browser, change to the email client and past, and the client immediately becomes unresponsive. I open up "Activity Monitor" and the clients memory consumption is rising precipitously, and was at 19gb when I killed it. Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac. I was really surprised that an email client would try to interpret the XML rather than just displaying it as text.

The country is becoming more and more controlled by the rich. Which is a legit problem for a free society when a politician can be influenced by big money. It leads to oligarchy, which destroys the country. So their complaints against the rich are extremely valid.
I'm going to point out that The Guardian hasn't put up a paywall, but remains a 'real newspaper'.

There's also going directly to the AP(https://apnews.com/) for straight news articles, sans editorial, if that what you want.
Elm has limited itself only to the scope of building applications in the browser; therefore, it's scope is much narrower. A general purpose language aims to be ergonomic for most use cases, which means supporting constructs that may not be necessary for e.g. front end development, but may be a huge quality of life enhancer for server side applications, hardware, etc.

It needs to be powerful and flexible enough to allow things like React or other frameworks to be built in it. Elm has only the Elm way, nothing more.

I really couldn't care less about the wall. I do think that choosing not to enforce immigration laws through an exective order was wrong - that is the domain of congress. In the case of an institution as important as the government of the United States, the ends do not justify the means if the means weakening the foundations of the entire system. I think that this applies equally to executive orders from both Trump and Obama that effectively seek to legislate through executive action.

Also ... sigh, I've already got negative two on that post :( The rain of judgement is why we're all silent.
Google has to leave china for political reasons. The legal system rather is incredibly malleable to the needs of officials (lots of Chinese internet companies are allowed to ignore laws that foreign companies are not).
One could argue that an investor’s job is distributing capital. Capital that provides the resources to employ tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people.

All a janitor does is keep a few offices clean. A task generally done by janitors because the people working in those offices implicitly consider cleaning to not be worth their time.

So ... yeah?

I for one would not have a day job and most of my sidehustle market without investors.
It isn't that uncommon for bad ideas to take root and influence decision making. And I'd say the core thesis of the article is that a bad idea has taken root ('inconsistencies and gaps in the accusation can be ignored because rape is terrible').

That doesn't seem interesting to me. But what is fascinating is considering the difficulties that have to be worked through to organise a rational argument in favour, essentially, of tightening the standards applied to potential rape victims.

I'll show my colours and say that after the James Damore business, it wouldn't be a shock if the university fired anyone who made the arguments in this article couched in anything but the most mild terms.
For the command prompt specifically, I believe Microsoft's policy basically boils down to "the correct behavior is whatever it's doing now." It's provided primarily for backwards compatibility, and someone somewhere is relying on every single 'bug' in it, so any fixes they try to make will inevitably break some twenty-year-old process or another.

[The above information is being vaguely recalled from something on Raymond's blog, but if someone has an actual reference it would be greatly appreciated.]
It is common economic knowledge/theory. My citation is any economic textbook on price discrimination.

Let me give you an extreme example.

Imagine that a company perfectly knew the exact maximum amount of dollars that you personally are willing to pay for their product. Then, they offer you that product for 1$ less than your maximum.

This is called perfect 1st degree price discrimination, and results in ~zero consumer welfare, because consumer welfare is the difference between actual price paid, and max willingness to pay price, which in this case are both ~equal to one another.

How to escape North Korea
It is a lot less damaging than being wrongly convicted.

The issue with almost all these cases is if the presumption of innocence was applied consistently nobody would ever be convicted. The juries are basically put in the position of trying to determine a binary outcome from an event that is often too murky to allow this.

The wiki article does discuss the positive impact of this verdict on sexual assault cases.

I was 49 when I sold my company and retired. Yes, building a business is an investment.
I live in the Denver metro area and I think this assessment is pretty spot-on. The only downside is rush hour traffic around downtown can add 15-20 minutes to the commute. However, these is a significant light rail presence.

I would say quality of life is great for anyone that likes to do anything outdoors: fishing, skiing, mountain bikes, dirt bikes, etc.

And there's a pretty strong community of software engineers here.
Well, at least let them know that some nerds on the internet asked for this :)

ENVY fit how Smalltalkers used Smalltalk.

Accepting a code change locally, in the usual way, created a new edition in the database. Once editions were versioned and released they would become visible to other developers, and loadable by-default.
This is awesome. Major props to CNN. Reminds me of an article that appeared on HN not too long ago about Conde Nast needing Google AMP because their site is so bloated.

TransUnion charges $5 to put a security freeze on the account. I cannot believe they are able to get away with this. How does this logic even work?

1. We'll collect all kinds of data on you without you knowing it.
2. Ooops, we've been hacked!
3. Pay us to freeze your account.

How .. what... in what world does this make any sense? How do we go about changing this nonsense?
Also, justices last a lifetime. A few bad justices could shred the constitution and trash our entire democracy faster than you can blink. A president properly constrained by congress and the courts cannot. Nominating activist judges and justices can seem like a great idea in the short term, when the chips are falling in your preferred way, but in the general case it's a terrible idea. If you don't believe me, think about how happy people were when Obama started abusing executive orders, and how upset they were when Trump continued the trend ... although they're not the first presidents to do this, there are some lines that just shouldn't be crossed.

I once worked with a guy who ran a small consultancy. He made himself out to be a self-made millionaire and was pretty showy about it. One Christmas he told all of his full-time employees that the business had a bad year and there would be no bonuses. The week after that announcement he drove up to the office in a brand new, fully loaded Mercedes S550. It was disgusting, as he could have just skipped an upgrade or two on the amenities and given at least a $500 bonus to his workers. He only had 4 employees who weren't his family. (His family members got bonuses though).

I later learned he didn't build his business himself and was given $250k by his father as seed funding. I lost all respect for him. He got his comeuppance when every one of his non-family employees quit within six months of each other. They were the ones doing all the work. His business suffered severely, his wife divorced him because her social status fell, and he had to sell most of his assets to stay afloat. I felt no pity for him because he was such a garbage person.

I've met a few people like him in my life. I really despise these types, because they pretend like they didn't win a sort of lottery at birth. And you're right, a system that perpetuates this type of situation is very much a part of the problem with inequality in general.
I wonder if we'd prefer a system where the majority of wealth after death goes back into a national trust and is immediately re-dispersed back and divided among all citizens...the national inheritance if you will.

Of course there would be implementation issues.

I lived in Denver for the past 2 years and agree with this assessment as well. The light rail has expanded lines in recent years to the airport and I have read that the plan is for that expansion to continue to eventually link Denver and Boulder. Amazon could build their huge complex anywhere in that area and workers could take public transportation to the office.
You can sue for anything. They'll have to show up to respond, or you win by default regardless of whether your case is valid or not.

This would cost them a fortune.
Eh, there's some truth to that. And I'd prefer not banning subreddits at all. But on the other hand, people have been calling for The_Donald to be banned for years for similar behavior, and they have far more subscribers.

Suffice to say, all I was doing was mentioning that LateStageCapitalism exists and pointing out some of their behavior. I don't actually want them to be banned. Like all subs, there is some good content mixed in with the extremism.
That doesn't justify it.
Why is crashing less often better in these cases? When it crashes, you know there is a problem with the code that needs to be fixed. When it doesn't, you might have nonsensical results that you're not aware of.

Your comparison of people revolting against the rich is more apt to the French Revolution and American Revolution than to communism.

Both revolutions actually overthrew the rich aristocrats and created a democratic republic...

Unchecked free market capitalism leads to silo-ing of wealth and power amongst a select few and that's the point the people on that subreddit are trying to make. They don't hate rich people...they hate the oligoloplies and big monied interests that are have more influence than the average citizen on the direction of the country.

Trump is the perfect example of this.
Is that a "community" effort? or a Mozilla effort?
It is really crazy how much sand is needed for modern development. It is a key component in a ton of different things.

I would bet on Canada, so either Toronto or Montreal. The whole continuity reason for the second HQ needs to address possible political and regulatory disruptions as well. They need the option to flip jurisdiction as a leverage.
>we’ve set aside Toronto and several other large cities because they’re not included in most of the data sets we’ve used

Not because the data isn't available, which it is (in abundance), but because it's not available in the data sets the chose to use. Not to put on a tinfoil hat or anything, but I have a very strong suspicion that they chose the data they did, and specifically mention leaving Toronto out, because they know that if they did otherwise, the data would show that Toronto is probably, if not the best, one of the top 3 options, and that likely wouldn't go over well with their core readership...
Yes, an automated mailing service like Lob (YC) would be necessary. Lob takes about 5 minutes to set up and handles all the dirty work of printing + mailing.

Ideally a user would pay a monthly fee for the extension and then the mailing costs.
FWIW the site still looks fine with noscript enabled.
intel did this back in the days when they sold 80486 CPU with DX and SX designation, the latter lacking math coprocessor a.k.a FPU.

In assembly line, all chips would start off as DX with math FPU. In order to make SX variant, they would use just disable FPU function, though they eventually made different chip to cut out FPU altogether.
Being well built says nothing to how durable the parts are that were used to build it - the parts might have been awful - but it was clearly designed to be easy to repair.
The American Revolution was a regional separatist movement led by the local rich aristocrats, it did not overthrow the rich aristocrats.

And the French Revolution did not, in fact, establish a democratic republic, it established an unstable regime nominally dedicated to democratic values but ruled by a succession of different regimes (of which, only the four years of the Directory even superficially resembles a democratic republic) before transitioning into the First Empire.

From the title I thought it would be a Convolutional Neural Network for text, not the Cable News Network in plain text.

An example to show that text CNN's are a thing: https://github.com/dennybritz/cnn-text-classification-tf
Exactly! As I mentioned in my reply to this comment, if they actually used the platitudes of data available on the subject - instead of clearly cherry - Toronto would easily be in the top 3, at the very least. The fact that they admit that the data they chose didn't mention Toronto doesn't help their case any.

Oh, I see. Yes, I was thinking more in language terms.
The robots are our tools. Taking over would imply that humans no longer work or make the important decisions. That the machines are running society, instead of just being tools we humans use to run society. That's a fundamental difference.
I don't know about the internals. But OTI developed Visual Age for Smalltalk and other VA for X products such VA for Java. They were all written mostly in Smalltalk, including VAJ (very interesting! It was a VM that ran both Smalltalk and Java).

Eclipse was supposed to be inherited from VAJ, but having used Eclipse in its early days, I didn't see much resemblance..

> Simple structure, a little too verbose

The "too verbose" bit is overly broad cargo-cultism.

XML has valid, efficient applications. A prominent one: it's a more concise serialization format than JSON (the supposed alternative) for describing self-similar typed hierarchies, e.g. scene graphs or other UI trees. (see HTML, XAML, VRML, kind-of JSX.)

consider:

<div>
<span>Hello world</span>
<div>

vs:

{
nodeType: "div",
children: [
{
nodeType: "span",
children: [
{
nodeType: "text",
value: "Hello world"
}
]
}
]
}

It's hard to take the rest of the article seriously when it starts with that unnecessary (and imprecise) jab at the technology it purports to be educating about.
