I got my "no-code Technician" class license in 1998, not long after they did away with the code requirement for Technician. At that time, Novice, General, Advanced, and Extra classes all still existed and all required Morse code. Later the FCC dropped Novice and Advanced and later still removed Morse code from all tests.

Still, I wish I had started with Novice so I'd have learned Morse early on.
Yeah, I used to do rocketry also and we had to get certification and FAA clearance to launch rockets with the high power motors.
Maybe this compiler could help with bootstrapping the official rust compiler. At the moment, it seems to be quite a mess for packagers. Rust is written in Rust, but also needs cargo to build, which is also written in Rust. To break this circular dependency chain, you need to have pre-compiled binaries first in order to bootstrap the build process.
Fighting the minimum wage is a political dead end. People won't vote for that, since they believe people who work a full week should have a decent standard of living. That's the case in Australia, at least.

Reading through these articles and the linked papers was both thrilling and disheartening. Thrilling, because it's a huge amount of information that is immediately interesting and useful to me. Disheartening, because I have been working on similar things for two years now and always feel like I'm struggling more than the authors.

Amazon needs a new HQ because it can’t convince people to move to Seattle
Amazon needs a second headquarters because it can’t convince people to move to Seattle where average home prices are $700k. If Amazon moved their HQ to Boston, home inflation would spike to 10-20% annually. Boston ($500k avg) will be Seattle in no time flat. How are you going to recruit outsiders when home inflation is off the charts? I would throw most of Colorado in the same boat as Boston, plus I don’t care for the Broncos.

Amazon needs a market with some real estate runway: Dallas: $300k, Atlanta $185k. But Dallas is a cluster-f traffic nightmare. Atlanta traffic is a disaster also, but at least you could afford a home there.

Ok, but to the original point, which was Uber aiding and abetting Levandowski's taking away specific documents (do you admit that a document is a thing?) which were trade secrets: surely that qualifies as theft of valid intellectual property.

Also, you, like almost everyone in this economy, makes their money on the work product of their mind. Some is more pilferable than others, but if you disagree, how about you just share your screen with me at all times, and I can share that screen with whomever I want?
1. No true Scotsman

2. Bullshit, even the reasons you provide are rooted in monetary incentive, e.g. how does one provide a better life for ones family? You give a nice example in Open Source at least, but tell me, do you think the self-motivated hackers can create enough value by themselves to support the vast majority of society leeching off UBI? At $1000 per month per American you're looking at well over $3,000,000,000,000 per year. Sure would suck to be one of those motivated individuals having your labor exploited like that.

> 3000 recipients is vanishingly small on a state or federal level. When everyone gets their monthly $UBI check, supply-and-demand dictates that "free money" will be duly devalued, with prices of low-end essential goods/services rising to match (say, basic rent rising to $1000/mo)

No, that's not what “supply and demand” says. With normally-shaped supply curves, you would expect priced to increase but not so much as to prevent a net increase in what people who are net beneficiaries can afford.
What is even more interesting is why exactly do they "sleep" at night? Do they have some sort of circadian rhythm? They are filter feeders, so the time of the day should not be that important, after all they can filter feed at night? Maybe it is a byproduct of being in lab? Since they are fed during the daytime, they might have "adjusted" to the lab schedule? They need light though, for their photosynthesizing symbionts.
This assumes both A. everyone is suddenly just making more money and B. the supply of housing remains constant.

In terms of A, some people would drop out of their current employment. In all likelihood temporarily, but a lot of people are doing things they don't want to do because they don't want to be homeless. Likewise, it would almost certainly not be 97% of people making more money - that kind of progressive tax threshold would mean you don't even start taxing for UBI until 6 figure income.

In terms of B, a lot of areas of the country are currently unlivable for a huge percentage of people because there is no way to earn money to afford to live there. Living there in absolute monetary terms would be cheap, but absolute money is pointless if you have nothing coming in.

UBI reduces demand for housing in cities because anyone that doesn't want the added income from living there would now have the option to move away. City housing prices are extraordinarily beyond the flat costs of construction and maintenance - the scarcity of work means a scarcity of high demand housing in cities surrounded by deserts of unlivable land.

Finally, for all those dropping out of the workforce, the UBI is not an elastic income - it will be a simple binary can a UBI recipient afford to live in your apartments or not. For those who want an extremely reliable tenant who has a guaranteed ability to pay rent every month, meeting the UBI threshold becomes an extremely strong price ceiling on affordable housing.

Inflation isn't magic. Inflation happens insofar as someone is willing to pay the higher prices and nobody can produce supply to drive the price back down. Introducing UBI does neither to housing (especially when as a percentage of income UBI relative to the cost of home ownership would be a relatively small gain in income for most people, and almost all current homeowners / tenants).
> You're probably free to move to an authoritarian regime if you cared to. No one chose to be born into a government system, but to claim no responsibility in a system that you've benefited from since you were born is passing the buck.

Ah yes, the "if you don't like it, you can go back to where you came from" argument, in different clothing of course. This is just never a good rhetorical device. What a person did or did not benefit for is up for debate -- even North Korea provides basics -- but that's not what is being argued here. If I was born into an environment I had no say in building, and I find it incompatible with my way of life (imagine being a white boy from the south on a plantation and against slavery, then shoved into the Civil war), I am, by definition now oppressed -- I am forced to be subservient to a system I had no say in building. I brought this up not to argue it but as a counter example to the person who just says "I am fine just living my life"

I just got finished dropping it into a decent size Java8 SpringBoot project. The only thing it broke was something to do with JPA. I had to add some dependency for java.xml.bind and now everything works so thats cool.
it would be cool to have this with a more neutral data set like wikipedia or google news.

I think the biggest problem with word2vec is that it only captures the context of the word and not the meaning. eg. the top results for "cold" includes "warm" because they're often used in the same sentence. Not sure if anyone's made progress on that front?
In Australia, we have a 'Productivity Commission' that investigates and produces reports on things impacting the country. One of these was recently produced on Intellectual Property arrangements [1].

While the findings didn't state that piracy wasn't harmful, they certainly did find that current the intellectual property situation (including local laws and international laws and trade) was harmful in some ways.

I'm yet to hear or see any movement resulting from the report, but part of the findings were how hard it is to make informed changes to the current system, because of so many international and complicated legal requirements.

Since the Alaska trip to find POTUS in Snow Crash, it's rare to see a Stephenson novel without some variant of The Nordic Voyage.

The Anthem north pole crossing fits right in, almost to the point of parody.

Interesting. Along with with your other comment about the borrow checker, I guess you could develop using (or occasionally check against) the rustc compiler for borrow checker correctness, and deploy using mrustc. That's pretty cool.
Induced exhaustion is one way to test it, yes. Can't say from the article if they ruled it out. Correlation of the rest pattern with a day-night cycle does not necessarily imply that the "sleep-like" state is indeed sleep, and not just a power-down low-metabolical wait-state used for the bio-chemistry to catch up after a day of activity is over.

There's a few slow journalism outlets like Delayed Gratification https://www.slow-journalism.com

I used to pick up local community papers but they jumped on the moral panic bandwagon too and they're filled with international political hit jobs and talking points now instead of anything local.

Macron was centrist the candidate in France, not the UK.

But otherwise, there is a double standard. However, your Obama anecdote doesn't demonstrate the double standard at all. Obama was being totally transparent in his support of a candidate in a foreign election. There was no attempt to disguise his intent to influence the election. It was a straightforward endorsement.

A better example of the double standard would be ignoring the US-backed overthrow of democratically elected leaders like Allende in Chile and Mossadegh in Iran, the best known of the many instances of the US covertly influencing the political process in other countries.

That a country that the US has been a traditional adversary of tried to influence US affairs isn't really that surprising. That the attempt has been brushed off or even welcomed in some sections of US society is perhaps the novel part.

Thanks! The merge join issue seems like one that probably would affect many workloads. Ordering by key less so but good to realize.

I guess it would be helpful for this feature to also include some documentation about if/when to use hash indexes, since up to this point the db has issued a warning basically saying "don't use these." Right now I'd imagine that there will be a lot of confusion around it given the feature's history so people will just not consider it.
Obligatory reminder that Mongo is shit and you should never use it for data you care about.
> Remember the Target data breach? Or the Home Depot breach? How about when Sony was distributing a rootkit on their music CDs? Or when Lenovo was distributing a malware package preinstalled on their laptops? Or when Best Buy was selling digital picture frames that had a virus?

I remember all of those things, and NONE of them were on the scale or level of impact of the Equifax breach. People who were affected by the Target breach, got replacement cards and moved on with their lives. Lenovo's malware package could be uninstalled and their hard drives could be reformatted.

People who are affected by Equifax breach... can do what? We are ALL affected by this breach. Every last American Citizen. The credit system itself, as we currently know it, now hangs in the balance.

I know that ALL of the credit reporting agencies have similar poorly designed systems, and THAT is EXACTLY what I am so goddamned mad about. Because THAT is a fact that is NOT going to change as a result of this. You know it and I know it!

We will still have the same 3 credit reporting agencies a year from now, and Equifax will STILL be profitable after whatever fines are imposed. We Need To Seriously Change This Shit Right.Fucking.Now! (NB. I have no specific suggestion, but I am so furious because of your apparent suggestion that there is no line that Equifax or any other CRA can cross that will earn them an honest decapitation. If not now, then when?)

This should NOT have been possible in any reasonable system designed to store sensitive data on every last American with a credit history, and the fact that it happened is all the evidence of negligence that you need. Someone exfiltrated ALL of the information they need to impersonate ANY American citizen with a credit file.

Nobody in particular needs to be held criminally negligent. No redress will make me happy about what has happened. The game is just over. The system is fucked, there's nothing left for them to protect. "Not for Identification Purposes" it's time to read the words on the card, and take them seriously.
> 1. No true Scotsman

Have you heard of the "fallacy fallacy"? The idea that calling out a fallacy merely invalidates the whole argument. Please explain how I have made the fallacy.

>to support the vast majority of society leeching off UBI

I'm not a proponent of UBI.

>At $1000 per month per American you're looking at well over $3,000,000,000,000 per year.

Although I'm not proposing that everyone be given $1000/mo (I'm arguing for Socialism, not charity!) the reason why you say it is so infeasible is firstly because (i) you regard $1000 as "basic income" (ii) you don't think this amount is already paid to the working class as a whole.

If the companies can collectively afford to pay people wages, then it would follow that an economy in which the companies have been replaced by a central organ would also be able to pay the same wages. $1000 is well below the median wage in the US (around $3100) which leads me to believe that Americans (by this I mean American workers) are are already collectively paid more than $3,000,000,000,000 per year. So why exactly is this number infeasible? It's already being paid, just by many entities instead of one.
Cities are gonna fall all over themselves offering Amazon all kinds of corporate welfare giveaways, but in reality, they should be demanding that Amazon pay for housing and transit improvements. Any mid-size city that takes them is going to have all of its infrastructure stressed.

Except that here it's kind of frightening to see the quality standards that are being followed (or rather: not followed) when putting up all of this housing, especially in non tier one areas. Housing gets build. Stays empty. After a few years look likes it's ready to be bulldozed and reconstructed from scratch again. In most cases, this is indeed exactly what happens, but it's hard to see any long term benefit from this sort of approach once the economy slows down.

Richer society's can support higher standards of government spending. So IMO, the only metric that matters in Government spending is per person spending / per person GDP.

And in that context you see various growth and cuts over time.

However, even that is misleading as richer society's have a higher percentage of discretionary income and may be willing to pay higher tax rates.
Very poor headline. No evidence of any deal to MITM WhatsApp encryption.

Absolutely, I'm not saying they don't care; it's that solving that problem is an explicit non-goal of the GSL work. The C++ committee is clearly working on concurrency related things, I was reading the various coroutines TSes recently in fact, as we're working on similar things in Rust.

Obama was the poster child for overnight political success using more or less the same mechanics that social media is built on today. They just didn't think the other side can play the same game. Which goes - Tell people what they want to hear and whoever gets the most attention wins.

Every politician whether they were tech literate or not got on Facebook and Twitter after Obama won. Facebook has enabled the propping up of unqualified to govern but qualified to be "like"d candidates all around the world.

They have done serious damage to society in the last 10 years and we are just getting started as people realize the damage.
I've only been on 4 European flights (all of them were the cheapest I could find) and the flights seemed extra cramped and the people on the flight just seemed grumpier than on the flights I've taken in the US.
