Why would let say business owner care about the increase the "talent pool" 15-20 years down the road ? By then maybe the technology is improving to the point you need even less talent.

Your second paragraph, why would the business owner care about their workers kids ?
Can anyone experienced in this space comment on how this tool compares to the Cocos2d family (e.g. Cocos2d-x), specifically in regards to 2D games?
The problem with this is it's essentially a conspiracy theory.

To be sure, internet shills exist. But it's punting, and intellectually lazy, to simply dismiss arguments as, "This guy is arguing X; clearly he's a paid shill."

> ADHD is very much a cause whose impact goes far beyond just procrastrination. It causes people to

Just because ADHD causes other problems doesn't mean that ADHD itself comes out of nowhere. The previous post has a valid point that ADHD itself is a symptom of something else and that drugs aren't necessarily the best way to reduce/eliminate ADHD at the source.

I vaguely recall using it a few times back in the day to edit things like fixed-format columnar text files. Now that sort of thing is easier with years worth of accumulated knowledge of tools, but I wasn't born with that knowledge.
At a larger company:

- you obviously need to move to management.

- usually requires(do most of the managers have mbas?) an mba at a larger company.

- could transition into project management then into resource management

- be really good at what you do and out work everyone hours wise.

- make sure your contributions are noticed up the chain.
There have been few companies that have tried. Some mentioned in thread. They all had trouble working with tfl.

One company licenced their software with an existing cab company in order to work with them. TFL started an investigation and unlicensed the previously legally licenced private taxi company for no stated reason.

Make no mistake they are activity hostile against innovation that could make taxi travel cheaper and faster.

If journalism has to be market driven in a capitalist system then all there is is a culture that values education, intellectualism, distrusts all large institutions and values journalism itself.

Which, of course, is harmful to literally everyone in power and most of the people with the power to steer culture. Any system remotely like we have now is systemically opposed to good journalism.
>laptops have ruined that old useful six-key block

For what it's worth, my Thinkpad definitely isn't ruined--it has a five key block containing the other keys you mentioned. Insert is over to the right in a four-key row (along with PrtSc, ScrLk, and Pause) that's above F9-F12
Really? I rarely have dinner over 20 pounds a person (which isn't cheap, I get it, but for London prices it's also not expensive), and I haven't seen a bill without service charge added in months (excluding Whetherspoons). As soon as I don't manage to order at the register, and instead someone brings a menu, there will be a service charge.

There was one restaurant recently that didn't have one, and we almost freaked out about it.
No, it's just saying that under scrutiny, it's not all that hard to differentiate "learned inattention " and bad habits from genuine ADHD.

I think the argument would be that it's easy to get a sample of a person's DNA, but you can't fake it when the person authorizing you takes a fresh sample.
That root of that phrase was predicated on people trying to get rich like bridge owners did in times past, although obviously was used by con artists to trick people much like email scams now.

But it is very relevant.

Privatization of public access routes is logically equivalent to privatization of natural resources, and there's no fair way to justify either, there's just the historical application of violence and subsequent commodification.

But commodification of the commons is approximately as relevant to the concept of a free market as markets for slaves... which is to say not at all, and actually contradicts it.
Maybe it's because it's based on some noise ? Maybe there are actual geology simulator somewhere ? That'd be interesting, a simulation of a mountain growing over 1 billion years...
There are currently mammals living in the water, some people already have webbed feet, the "fish people" had evolved over 5,000 years, and their ancestors may have had access to advanced genetic tech. The book also references epigenetics pretty heavily in that part of the book; presumably that's involved in the evolution of all of the different surviving human groups.

It certainly wasn't the hardest science element of the book, but it seems pretty well supported for scifi.

That was also one pretty minor element of the book as a whole.

I still can't think of another book that's 'harder' scifi (and not also like really-close-near-future).

I don't see how pgsql could perform such optimizations as eliminating a sorting step when ordering results by column(s) in a clustered index if there is no guarantee that new or updated data will also be ordered by the clustered index. I agree that both models have their pros and cons. While I am a big fan of pgsql, I do also appreciate those databases that offer both heaps and clustered indexes that I can mix and match in my schema as best suits my workload.

That's an interesting observation, in that games are often real-time systems. Makes sense to me as I work in audio DSP where you've got to have your buffer processed in time or you wreck the hapless user's mix.

Where do you see Godot relative to this? I know I was interested in Unreal Engine's blueprints, but unconvinced (also, I was working with my coder brother, who hated blueprints on sight). I've also been exploring the open synth hardware Axoloti, which likewise uses a node-based system for its design.

This Stanford Professor Has a Theory on Why 2017 Is Filled with Jerks
I've been wondering about something similar recently. What can other countries do to an American webmaster if their laws are being ignored?

If you allow non-US IPs, does that mean you're implicitly accepting that you're serving other countries and thus you're expected to comply with any of their laws? What if you're selling an online service and a foreign user has a US credit card and billing address?

As for the linked topic... Saudi Arabia is a pretty horrible country in many aspects. I'd go one step further and say that American companies shouldn't be doing any business with them. This is a country where women are regarded as second-class citizens. It's fine if some people want to continue with their ultra-traditional gender roles, but you shouldn't impose it on everyone else.

We use MongoDB to build eCommerce apps at my company, using a Ruby-based platform that can be easily extended. Here's a couple of the reasons why we use it:

1. It's easier to extend the pre-defined model classes that our platform provides with new fields, without having to manage migrations. Mongoid manages the schema for you.

2. Because our apps represent an eCommerce "storefront", they are _not_ the system of record for our clients. Each client has their own way of storing this data, and fulfills orders through an order management system. They control all of that, obviously, because it contains important financial data that they need to retain.

3. MongoDB is a well-supported database, with a large ecosystem and lots of users. It's a familiar DB for new developers that we hire, as well as for systems integrators who are also building apps on our platform. Using MongoCloud and official support from MongoDB, Inc., hard questions about our database technology are just a phone call away. Postgres is amazing, but it isn't supported by a company you can turn to when shit really goes south, so it's a scary choice for enterprise service providers.

4. It doesn't have terrible documentation. Pretty much everything is there, it's just hard to find. I really wish they would use something other than Confluence because the search on there is awful.

All this aside, I still use Postgres on my own Rails apps because I don't need the complex features of MongoDB. But after a few years at my current job, I can definitely see why Mongo was chosen.
I fail to understand how word2vec is useful? It outputs a bunch of related words but there no link between the words so no way to make sens of the "relation" between input and output.
Hah, while that would be hilarious it's not what it means in context; it refers to the apps block being lifted at midnight this past Wednesday.
I know you said “without a complete wipe,” but that's honestly the best approach. Drag all documents and files to an external drive, take note of all programs your wife still wants on the computer, then clean install the OS. After, drag all files back from the external drive and reinstall all programs you made note of. That guarantees a clean slate.

Otherwise, you’ll have to go through the OS and attempt to uninstall anything that appears to be installed by the law firm, but usually you’ll leave behind small trace files and things that might keep them up and running.
It's quite normal for words which might seem to have the same meaning in the common vernacular to have nuanced meanings within a domain. This doesn't just apply to science and engineering - consider law, medicine, religion, food service...really just about anything you can think of. And it's not just an English language phenomenon, either: two words that mean the same (exact, identical, similar) thing really implies there's a difference between the words.

And yeah, as a test engineer, metrology can be confusing, but that's because it's necessarily complex, not because of silly choices.
I think it's actually could be a pretty good system. It's a piece of information that uniquely identifies you and even if it's totally public it doesn't help someone impersonate you. Sure someone could easily produce a sample of your DNA but they couldn't fake a fresh blood sample taken by the person authorizing you.
They are pumping it out of an aquifer, but that aquifer is huge --- about the size of Lake Michigan itself. The first source I found on Google, an MSU presentation, says that the St. Clair River drains 80x the entire groundwater withdrawal of the entire Great Lakes region, and of that withdrawal only 5% is consumed rather than returned to the ground.

5% of 1/80th of a single river's discharge, for the entire region. I think the parent commenter has the better argument.

From what I can tell, the plastic is a bigger concern here than the water.

Are there other reasons why basement-prevalence is so regional?
Yes, because the argument is that the US over-diagnoses ADHD. As in kids being kids and not being laser-focused are suddenly diagnosed with ADHD. In this case, someone procrastinating because they have something difficult to do would be ADHD. It may not be the case.
There’s a crazy amount of subliminal PR in this vaporware puff piece.

VW PR are trying to get you to think of VW as a nature loving, fun outdoorsy company that’s connected to the environment. Instead of that company who cared so little about pollution in the environment that they literally programmed their cars to lie about how much pollution they were spewing.

The car doesn’t need to ever exist, what exists is the manufactured image in your mind of VW and a “harmonious” place in nature.

Even prior to the JSON type you always could have serialized the data for the sample to some kind of string JSON/XML/CSV and put it in the column. But I think the one thing NOSQL data stores e.g. HBase/Cassandra and to a lesser Degree MongoDB has taught me is to pay attention to the tradeoffs number of rows, size of index, etc...

that's classical fud against unions.

incompetent employers might be good political actors in the company and make more than good employees just fine without unions.

unions just help the good, and bad, employees don't have to waste too much time every month fighting for raises.
How is it ignorant to suggest behavior change as a first option? If the person can't make it stick then sure try the drugs, but if they don't need the drugs they're likely better off without them. Add in the fact that ADHD is commonly over-diagnosed and yeah, I'd try behavior modification first. People can display the "signs" of ADHD for a whole host of non-ADHD reasons.

I hate app feedback and notification sounds. I hate notifications in general; I prefer to poll for information I need on my schedule. This is also why I hate desktop environments and use a simple full screen window manager. One task at a time. Hell, lately I don't even bring up X every day if I don't need to. Tl;dr: I'm old.
"I had created what I believe is the first digital-cash protocol ever to use block chains in any form - though it used them in a way very different than Bitcoin and its descendants. In that protocol each 'coin' had its own little chain that grew by one link each time it was transferred from one owner to the next. Seeing the idea come around again, in a very different form, was fascinating for me."

No, that is not a blockchain, but I can see what you did there, blockchain inventor.
Black Cabs in London are wonderful, except:

1. When you need one at about 10pm in the City, and stand on the street corner for ages watching dozens of them go by with their lights off and no passengers.

2. When you are less than 1/2 a mile north of the Thames, and the cabbie refuses the ride because he 'doesn't go south of the river, mate'

3. Same as #2 but 'doesn't go north of the river, mate'

4. Same as #2 and #3 but for inside/outside the north/south circular ringroad.

5. Deliberately ignoring your route request, and then snarles the cab up in non-moving traffic all while the meter is still running (Black Cabs charge by time, not distance).

Just to be clear, when people say "Communism" and specify "the Soviet Union", that's adequate for rhetorical purposes. You can clarify that the Soviets were merely extremely socialist if you want, but everyone else understood what he was saying.

Perfectly reasonable stance to take. Of course that assumes you do not ever vote, because you are not an informed citizen and voting would be both ethically and morally wrong.

Good point. They are all example data. The "[[3,6],[6,9],[12,18]]" can be thought of as the coordinates of a comet, and 2 is your predicted correlation, the slope, followed by 1 your predicted constant, the y-intercept. In this case, you want to change 2 and 1 to find the combination that results in the lowest error. It the same with "Error = 4^2 + (-1)^2 + 6^2", it's an example of an error function. Does that make sense?

Personally I use Oracle (and hopefully one day PG) because it gives me guarantees on data integrity and these guarantees help me to think about my programs more easily.
I'm not going to be able to explain my point clearly, but I will try.

you keep seeing rhetoric like this, 'we have antibiotic resistance because doctors were prescribing it willy nilly' all the time, but it just doesn't line up.

take a look at the list of diseases that formed / are forming resistance. they are all diseases you absolutely should have been taking antibiotics for. they werent diseases that gained super powers because someone was taking penicillin for the flu.

then you have things like MRSA, which was discovered almost immediately after antibiotics, however, it was probably discovered because people were experimenting with antibiotics and that made it show its face. In other words, it was always around. its documented that people died of such infections before, we just dont look too much past it because they didnt have antibiotics at the time.
This is a frustrating article, but perhaps the book is better.

The key work here is really Earl Thompson's "The tulipmania: Fact or artifact?" in Public Choice. The article at least does not make any mention of Thompson or his argument. In particular, his argument is that there was a legal change in how the tulip contracts worked and so it didn't make sense to compare the previous price history with the history after that change.

As disinclined as I am to enter a discussion about this I'd like to suggest interpreting my hasty terminology "behaviour change" as encompassing a wide variety of behaviours, and not just of the affected individual. "Environment" might have been a better word. For example, under "behaviour" or "environment" as opposed to "medication", I include the poor conditions in public schools, the poor quality of food, the addicting quality of television, internet and computer games and the poor quality of many interpersonal relationships.
iirc the requirements are an AND condition for speed and altitude. >1,000 knots AND >18,000m. But many civilian receivers implement it as an OR condition much to the annoyance of the near space balloon community.

Some will even switch of the radio once one of these limits are reached and not enable it until it's been reset so make them a pain to use for even if you just wanted the location data after your payload comes back down within the limits.

EDIT: But yeah the so-called COCOM limits still apply to civilian equipment (esp to a company such as Broadcom). Unsure on the regulations for modifying the firmware on a device that doesn't put these lockouts at the silicon layer. For example: https://github.com/swift-nav/libswiftnav/blob/master/src/pvt...
