> "For the 2017 fiscal year that ends on September 30, the Obama budget called for $582.7 billion, which included a base budget of $523.9 billion and the "overseas contingency operations (OCO) budget" of $58.8 billion. The Trump administration ... requested $574.5 billion in base budget and $64.6 billion in OCO for a total of $639.1 billion... Today, the House passed a $696.5 billion defense bill that makes Trump's look positively reasonable in comparison"

The budget increase was ~$110B. Which comes out to ~$360/year for each American citizen. I'm all in favor of cutting military funding, but that's not going to generate nearly enough revenue to fund a meaningful basic-income program.
Most people don't think of smartphones and tablets as computers either, yet in every practical sense they are. The same applies for gaming systems (in fact from a hardware standpoint the PS4 isn't very different from my desktop computer)

If you assume that Preact infringes any patents that React does, it seems like you are strictly worse off using Preact than using React.

If Facebook goes on the offensive, you are protected if you use React but not if you use Preact.

If you sue Facebook for patent infringement and they use their patents defensively, you are in exactly the same situation using Preact as you are using React; you don't have a license for the patents in either case.
I'm fine with them making enough money to keep the thing running and play around with new improvements (although honestly it works pretty fine for me and a lot of other creators I know as is). I'm not so happy about them having big piles of money that need to be paid back to investors who only care about profit.
It reads like a developer advisory, actually.
> And if we change [1] to "Yeah, one is a gal", then I'd expect a lot of pro-diversity people suddenly stop complaining that there's a problem.

Find me someone (anyone, anywhere) who defends (even in the abstract!) a situation where women are paid more than men for the same work. That's a horrific strawman, and it tells me that you're looking at this as a war (with feminists as your "enemies" I guess) instead of a problem.

And no, you don't have to pay people equally. You have to pay them fairly. If there differences between individuals, that's fine. If there are systemic differences between easily classified groups of individuals, that's discrimination.
Yep, that is true, and I agree. I found that applied to my math classes as well, unfortunately. It was not until I came to the US that I started to find the intellectual wonder in math (versus memorizing stuff). However, I was very fortunate to have some amazing physics teachers in high school in India, who taught from first principles, which was simply amazing.

* "Racists march in racist territory to intimidate people elsewhere"
* "People elsewhere goad the weak cowardly racists"

Uh, obviously? I'd be surprised if that didn't happen.

Racism is not popular. Oakland isn't alone, I have heard the same sentiment from New Yorkers, Seattleites, Houston; urban areas do not tolerate that kind of anti-American discrimination.
Even today when I speak about info security they look like you're wearing a foil hat. Another scam is people knocking into doors to "deliver useful social information" and asking for your ids/signature in the end. It may be marketing info collection or even simply visual wealth evaluation, but sure there are those who believe it's done for good [edit:] intents.

I'm usually let them tell their tale (out of my room, of course), ask a lot of questions, nod with them happily, and in the end I say thanks, but I'm sorry, I don't disclose my info, full stop. Their butthurt is sometimes too cool to watch without popcorn.

With websites (and web apps), you're only running UI locally. All the important parts - storage, queries, data wrangling, core logic - is done server-side.
My immediate reaction would be to think of the entropy of the information in the array. Sorted sounds like energy was spent to put more information into that array. Intuitively, the lower entropy of a sorted array should help us predict and make better decisions along the way of searching for things in the array. Completely unsorted arrays give us less information to work with: the lack of order certainly can't help us make decisions!

> Russians were involved in a lot of hacking during the election, and a lot that has surfaced since, like intrusion into power plants, etc.

Any large enough country is involved in such activities. Iranians, Chinese, Israelis and North Koreans, Romanians, US false flags, private interests are probably able to hire people to work for them.

> 100% super double sure that we landed on the moon

Clearly you have just as good evidence that Russians hacked the election and overturned the result that is comparable to moon landing. A video perhaps, an audio recording, a chat log that can be verified, a confession from a credible source or a defector?

I hoping the vote recount would show some proof in Wisconsin but it turned out it gave Trump 3 more votes.

Yeah, serious allegation require more serious evidence to be believed. Otherwise it looks like a conspiracy theory.

And just like a conspiracy theory, if more people repeat it doesn't make it more true. If there are 10k contrails or lizard people making the same argument, it doesn't make the argument more true.

Complexity begets attacks. Apple's policy is "no rootkits". Allowing the user to modify the system software is basically a backdoor, and backdoors have an undeniable history of being abused by people other than their intended users.

Apple sees the iPhone as a hardware security device. Apple wants users to be confident enough in its security that they can use their phones to authenticate financial transactions.

It's great that some phones are modifyable by their users, but I would never ever link my Android phone with my bank account.

> Canadian employers can't control the fact that their consumers don't pay higher prices for the things they producing/providing.

I disagree with your logic, because:

1. Multinational companies pay Canadian engineers doing the same quality of work much less than American counterparts. The original article is from the former CEO of BlackBerry, a multinational company which could pay Canadians an equivalent salary, if they chose to.

2. Canadians do pay more for things than Americans do. Do a currency conversion from CAD to US and products sold in Canada (e.g. iPhone) are still significantly more expensive than US prices. We joke this is the "Canadian tax"

Please don't spread these conspiracy theories.

As just one of many arguments against: Such decisions are subject to judicial reviews (i. e. Facebook can sue). Spanish judges are just as independent from the executive as they are in most countries, once they are appointed. What motivation would these judges have to undermine the rule of law (something they studied and have worked in their whole life), when they can't be pressured, nor are they recipients of any part of such fines?

It gets even harder to think of a possible motivation when you realise that any court rulings could be appealed in European courts, completely out of the sphere of influence of the Spanish government.
The article does not seem to ever define what a strike is and the repercussions. Maybe they should just sit down and talk to the kid instead of taking parenting advice from 20 year olds.

The child explained to the reporter what his problems were, did the parents ever ask or seek to remedy the situation. Also way to go ahead and use your child as a sales tactic for a behavior modification company. All of the other kids at his school will know about it now.

Just talk to your children, pay attention to them and treat them with respect, that will get you half way there.
Sharepoint fills the gap in many organisations. CRUD forms pretty quick to create off a sharepoint list/sql database.
Exactly. People overestimate the amount of effort and cleverness it takes to horizontally shard/scale your data yourself rather than trust a specialized database to do it as a black box. And overestimate the cleverness of the black box.

What you retain by staying with Postgres rather than going to a more exotic database is priceless. There is a threshold of data size or product need that makes a more specialized database the right choice. It's just well above 100 GB and your application should have some very specific needs to justify it.

As much as I like this idea, I'm sure that this will also cause problems in certain cases.

Therefore, I'd like to see per-website "capability settings", just like you can allow smartphone-apps to access your microphone, camera, et cetera. And an API for websites to determine which capabilities they have, and an API to request the browser to ask the user to add a capability.
PyPI should also run a build to audit behavior which would be fairly easy to implement. A submitted package would just fail if it access the network or privileged files during compile unless unique needs are called out in an spec file.

I do wish that `--user` was the default for pip.

It is also a pity that trivial Debian bugs like this block adoption of non sudo pip installs weren't ignored.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839155

Although Debian/Ubuntu default to --user on pip people resort to sudo because the current standard user bin directory isn't in the default path due to a regression.

I may start a project to create a apparmor/selinux wrapper for pip to audit and restrict access to sensitive resources. I actually have a fairly heavyweight version in place on my build pipeline to detect new dependencies. I add the files/network resources that a build accesses outside of the testing stage to the build artifacts. But it wouldn't be cross platform enough for Windows/Mac.
> You're still assuming, contrary to all fact and common sense, that either the copyright license or the implicit patent license are affected in any way by what happens to the explicit patent license.

Why would it be unreasonable to assume that the explicit clause in a contract exists to override the implicit clause? Isn't that kind of the point of explicitly enumerating cases? Where, elsewhere in this thread, do you explain this?

And your aggressive tone is unexpected.

Edit: Also, I didn't say the copyright grant was affected, but if you don't have a grant to use a patent that the software flexes.... ? Being concerned vs. assuming flowers seems safer in untested legal waters.
My iPhone is a three year old 6 Plus. I have no problems leaving that giant at home to rely on a watch. I'd hope it would bring more attention back to my day, and help break me of the habit of going to my phone when bored.

The watch would do everything I need, texts, phone calls, email alerts, and I can even use it for navigation. While it would be better not to pay the $10 a month surcharge, that's a fairly small price to pay if it's an improvement in my daily experience.
Tell that to the people who sit in public transport playing games on their smartphone. A lot of the tasks usually done are impossible without internet connection, but that can be said about almost any computer. That doesn't make them useless, it just restricts them to a (still very useful and big) subset of functionality.
I have found the PyPI group of people to be very helpful in these cases. You also should probably, as an organization, have more than one owner of your packages. That way, unless two people leave, things aren't orphaned. We have gone as far to have a 'meta-user' that is on all packages. It is only ever used to recover a fully abandoned package.

The conventional method is a float valve, which obviously doesn't work in space. Putting a sensor in the tank also involves drilling a hole, which compromises its strength. I think the simple answer is that they didn't need it, so they left it out and relied on highly accurate predictions of fuel usage.

My salary in the UK was £27.5k (North West England), I moved to Toronto and now I get paid £60,000 (about £70,000 including bonus and pension).

Best offer just prior to moving was £45k but that involved a move to London which would have hit my bottom line more than just staying put.

Toronto rents are about half London and other living costs are lower (electricity, transit etc).
A key point (perhaps well known but still very important) is the "let mutable" vs "let" for declaring mutable variables. It really does change tendencies of developers by putting the burden of effort on one of two paths, and encouraging people to write code a certain way can have significant effects on the end product.

If I follow correctly, the equivalent in K would be

{,/(*t),/:t:$x}

Flatten (,/) the first element of the list (*t) joined with each element of the list (a,/:b), where t is the input x cast to a list of strings (t:$x). Curly braces make the expression an anonymous function, and since no argument names are specified explicitly the name x is the single input argument.

> The point is that Cantor's proof isn't actually about the real numbers!

It isn't just about the reals, but it is definitely about the reals. The claim is: there exist well-defined mathematical structures that cannot be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the naturals. The proof is constructive, with the reals as the canonical example. Cantor's proof is about the real numbers in the exact same sense that Turing's proof of the non-computability of the halting problem is about Turing machines.

There are a lot of patreon people that don't have a strong youtube presence, and a lot of that content ends up being cross hosted by youtube. You have people that are working with a pre-payout budget of a few thousand a month- it's possible that they are trying to build out more pay-to-use features that increase the 5% slice they are taking.

Private video hosting for supporters that isn't rigged to youtube settings is something that could actually be a boon. Just because youtube is easier doesn't mean delivering on a non-youtube service couldn't help delivering the rewards.

I can see how they can upsell a lot of other services though around delivering rewards. If I have 10000 people who need stickers for that 5$ support level is it worth the time to hand-stuff all those envelopes? Or is it worth an extra 20c a letter to have someone else stuff it for you?

The more I think about it the more I think that they can actually provide legitimate services in the same frames as vistaprint, teespring and others for these physical deliverables and just providing that fulfillment. Videos that I can schedule to release on patreon might just be worth it to some people.

> you're running only part of the software locally, and without the remote component the local part is useless.

Of course that's true, but that's not sufficient for calling the client a terminal, unless you're going to define any client in a client-server architecture to be a terminal.

Again, with most web apps or even simple web sites with static content, the processing power required to render and interact with the site is probably much greater than to serve data on the back end. Web browsers are definitely fat clients.
