This one would be pretty vile, but I bet we have folks who seen just as bad.

I once worked at a place that once powered their campus by an oil burning generator. They stored the oil in a large underground bunker. The bunker was a concrete affair. Eventually the oil plant was decommissioned and the bunker was cleaned up.

Some [censored] person decided they needed more office space and this bunker would be great. They completed the tunnel from a nearby building (they had a large underground) and proceeded to build a false floor and put in a box for offices. Now, concrete will "bleed" oil for a while even if sealed, so the solution to that was install fans that would push fresh air between the office area wall and the concrete wall. Inside their new space, they put a cube farm. Sadly, cellphones and radios didn't work in the new space as it was underground with a nice reinforced (rebar) concrete roof. Having a constant wind noise in a cube underground is a bit surreal.
The 2012 election had 78% turnout with valid ballots in the question of whether or not to continue the current status, on which a majority voted to reject the current status, and 56% turnout on the question of alternative status, on which a majority chose Statehood.

On either question, the turnout was better than several US Presidential elections (and on the first better than any recent Presidential election.)

There were significant boycotts of the 2017 referendum because of the wording of the title, but in any other US election, we don't ignore election results because people choose to abstain.
Can you change the docs section dropdown interaction? When I go to look at the docs, it's really nice to be able to see everything instead of opening each major section one at a time (especially when opening one closes all the others).
There were a good ideas in that framework, and it felt like they wanted to build a really exhaustive, fully integrated UI building solution.

The company I worked for at the time had chosen it for the wrong reasons: their first incentive was the desktop-like UI that comes with ExtJs!
But as I dove into it I understood what it was all about.
ExtJs is/was a fat framework and I have felt overwhelmed many times, but if I compare it to our current daily tasks of gluing Stores, Components, and Views libs together for the same result, I am not sure we have improved anything.

I would like to hear someone thoughts on a potential contender.
This seriously makes mobile AR development a lot easier for anybody who doesn't want to go through the entire overhead of learning iOS. Amazing work!
Adding Value to Acquiring Bank Portfolios with Managed PCI Compliance
>IBM came out of the US for the exact same reason Fairchild, Intel, Cisco, Silicon Graphics, Motorola, Texas Instruments, HP, Sun, Xerox, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, etc. all did.

By that reasoning, IBM is outsourcing from the US for exactly the same reason virtually all the other companies you listed are.

Sure, something about the US helped them to exist and thrive. And something about the US is helping them to outsource.

The argument cuts both ways.
You're right, but the tsunami released a lot of debris to the sea near Japan, and the sea creatures where slowly transported for thousands of miles, on that debris:

"Between June 2012 and February this year 289 Japanese species attached to 600 pieces of debris washed up on beaches in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska and Hawaii, as well as in the Canadian province of British Columbia, according to the study."
Segmentation faults are a bad example of a fault you don't want in a safety-critical system. A crash is okay, because you will usually have some sort of fall-back (e.g. most power steering systems work unpowered). It's non-crashes that cause silent improper behavior that are bad.

Of course, a segmentation fault is usually a symptom of pointer misuse, which means your code is likely to also suffer from corruptions.
Plenty of U.S. citizens have their own baseball team. Mine is the Seattle Mariners (and they STINK).
Ha, I have a MIS BA actually. Most of my former classmates took the PM/BA route post graduation and generally all are successful according to Linkedin including a guy who runs his own investment bank and another pretty high up at Amazon apparently. I think so many people go that route because people who can "speak tech" and "speak business" are incredibly valuable now days. At least that's the reasoning that sold me on it, despite me now being almost completely technical. I have personally seen individuals on the same team with similar skills have careers diverge dramatically because one person could present in front of a room and another couldn't. The PM types are on the front lines and get all the credit because they are "selling" the product or business. I get why it's attractive to some.

Aren't there more people in India? Why is this suprising / news?

Did you imagine corporations we're patriotic or loyal in some way?

Do you hope free marketism cares about anything than efficient allocation of resources / maximum profits?
I guess that's because we get more Indian referrals from a team with more Indians. At least my current team is dominantly Indian because of this reason.

Also, I personally feel there is fundamental difference is how Indians interview the candidates. Indian interviewers usually try to identify the weakness of a candidate (if there is a fullstack opening and the candidate's strength is more on the backend, the interviewer leans more towards frontend to identify the weaknesses of a candidate). Non-Indian interviewers most try to find the strengths of a candidate. When I attend interviews and see a panel with Indian names, I know that those slots suck.

Of course exceptions apply for everything..just my observation being Indian working in Indian teams..

I do not know. I don't work in that part and couldn't comment if I did. I'm only commenting to point out that Idera does indeed focus on dev tools, where the article thought it didn't. FWIW, Delphi and C++Builder are still going strong under Idera.

They can fly cargo. FedEx would definitely be able to market such a service.
Not necessary, but I'd argue it was still the predominant method for 7 and even 8 (from what I've seen people use, anyway). I do find myself personally with 10 using search a lot more (haven't had to observe others, so no idea about others usage), but sometimes I've had to shift over to the Win10 equivalent of the start menu -> applications method if I can't remember the name of the application outright (this was a bigger problem for me prior to Curse becoming part of Twitch, admittedly. They had two different clients and one of them was a bit more vague in naming).

I was more alluding to the gnome method which last I used it has a similar menu with the tiered folder structure. Maybe they have added search as well, but my memory of GNOME is too fuzzy so I had to go with the fresher (for me) Windows equivalent (granted, with Windows 10 the applications folder essentially hangs out to the left of the Windows 8 start screen-esque area so calling it Applications folder would be a misnomer on my part).
How can there be an "index" bubble like at the bottom of the infographic. Who cares how the funds are invested? It's this exactly equivalent to saying there's a general stock market bubble, which he says earlier? Why does it matter if a large part of that money is being invested by index funds?
Well, there's already Guam. Not to mention Palau, though I don't fully understand the arrangement between that nation and the US.

"it is nearly-impossible for any actor to block access to this content because it is replicated around the network automatically, using peer-to-peer encrypted connections that would be very hard to identify and block at the ISP level. Maybe China could do it, but Spain definitely cannot."

How would China do it?
Responsive donations template for your projects
Both. Checkout gatsbyjs.org, the tool the site was built with. But basically Gatsby renders each page to HTML and writes it out to disk similar to other static site generators. And then when the HTML loads, it pulls in JavaScript to make the site "live" so that from then on out it acts like a normal React web app.

Gatsby is an attempt to blend the best aspects of static site generators and web apps.
I'm not sure why you say "ignore".

As I read this, the author claims to have created a naive "linear" network akin regular deep learning networks but without the added (explicitly) non-linearity and shows it's trainable. He acknowledges it has to operate through non-linearity (indeed underflow) and so the mechanisms you mention sound compatible with his findings.

The point I'd see for the article isn't some magic non-linear to linear transformation but that for all we know, incidental underflow effects might operating in regular "non-linear" networks as well.
That surprises me, given you say you've been working with major consultancies.

I've been working with and leading international teams for almost 10 years now, mainly with teams in India.

I see a huge gap between skillset and proficiency between the US, Europe and India. But I must qualify this - I've most been working with some of the large outsourcing companies in India, Capgemini, Infosys and Cognizant, and these companies are where you find unbelievably bad coders. I often literally have to interview 20+ candidates before I find anyone even half decent, and even then, the level is much less than a candidate with similar time-served from Europe or the US.

This shouldn't be surprising if you see how such companies run development projects when left to their own devices; they will staff a project with 5-10x more devs than would be used elsewhere, and everyone works on an unimaginably narrow part of the project - someone might literally do nothing but write maps for the ORM, another person might do nothing but edit config files. It's madness.

I have however had excellent experiences with Indian devs on the rare occasions where I've been permitted to use small, development-focused businesses. Excellent developers absolutely exist in India - but they are as rare as hens' teeth the big body shops.
yep- much harder to find the time to go volunteer but you're right on that. I don't consider myself a good salesman but I need to sell the idea that doing this would improve their bottom line.
What's the best way to migrate from ExtJS (50k LOC codebase)?

They had many excellent components, buffered lists, grouping in lists, tree panels etc. So many useful components.

Is there an alternative?
That'd be asset price inflation [1], not regular inflation (CPI).

The thing that gets me (as a cyclist) is that I commute almost entirely on local roads that are largely paid with my property taxes.

Yet the people that seem to complain most about bikes on the road are commuting from 2 counties away and very little of their tax money goes to paying the roads that I'm commuting on. And they act as if that me riding in that tiny 3 foot wide painted strip on the road is caused them to have an hour long commute in stop and go traffic from 30+ miles away.

> Why you think you should answer when you don’t have answer?

> Verbal testing is different than spatial ability testing? Do you see the logic? Verbal testing is separate skills. And spatial skills are different too.

Because I do have the answer. The article asserts that average IQ is falling. It does not indicate that only, e.g., spacial ability is falling. Given that verbal is a direct component in its own right (as well as a factor in other areas due to comprehension and communication), it is reasonable to state that verbal is likely a factor in the falling average IQ.

> Completely false.

It's not completely false. WAIS is extremely widely used. It's not simply the most frequently used IQ test[1]. It's one of the most frequently used clinical assessments in general.

You're just asserting things you want to be true. If you disagree that WAIS is the most common clinical IQ test, then provide some info on what you believe is more common. Otherwise your claims are clearly without merit.

Text selection is generally a pain in canvas. That's pretty important for docs and examples. HTML is specifically made for displaying text and text is basically all the React site does. No need to fight an uphill battle when you already match the ideal case.

No, I think you're not really grasping what I'm saying. Here:

(1) College is cheap, only the few and the wealthy go.

(2) More people start to attend college.

(3) Supply and demand kick in, increasing costs, ensuring that still only the few and the wealthy go to college.

(4) The government doesn't like that poor people aren't able to afford college so they guarantee student loans.

(5) Poor people can go to school now, but price spirals out of control.

This is my timeline.

>The lack of the ability to pay back a loan is a normal check against irresponsible lending, unless you have a printing press backing said loans and can afford to disregard defaults.

You're totally right. The problem here is that it's "irresponsible lending" to give a student loan to a poor student, a black student, and especially say a poor, black student who wants to study history. We as a society though want poor students to get more education and we as a society don't want certain fields limited to just those who are already rich. So we guarantee student loans. Then a bunch of capitalists see that we've broken the loan system, pull out their Gordon Gekko hats and start robbing us blind.

>The lack of a free market in education is precisely what caused the hyper cost inflation. The US Government created a system of lending backed by its ability to print dollars, which stands completely apart from normal economic reality.

The lack of a free market in education is precisely what gave lots of kids who would never have otherwise had the opportunity to attend college that chance.

>Another hint: guess who is making nearly all the money off the student loans? Yep, the US Government. They're yielding tens of billions per year in interest profit, courtesy of their ability to magically make dollars appear and to put an entire generation into vast debt. The US Govt is earning about 20 times what the private sector is making off of student loans.

Sure, I don't like this either. College should be free.
Well... So what? As long as people are happy, literate and nice to one another I think fluctuations in IQ are not a huge problem in themselves. It's only a problem if you think democracy the system can't be improved upon, because you have to improve people to improve the output of democracies.

I've seen some things mentioned here that utterly baffle me, and confirm my bias that IQ is good for understanding but has little relation to wisdom or 'overstanding'.

I am very worried about what will happen if we start doing rash things like mass removal of autistic embryos from the gene pool. I've seen it suggested too often, compared to the amount of people I imagine are actually deeply informed enough about both to speak on such things. It's strange to me that such an idea is not automatically considered risky, or obviously married with unintended consequences.

On the surface of it, you might increase the median IQ by a few points. But you'd also miss out on the next Newton, Turing, Einstein, Kant, Cavendish, etc etc (I've plenty of other speculatives). There's no free lunch. Shaking the Tree of Life and hoping something tasty falls out sounds very unwise to me. As far as I'm concerned the major problem for humans is not their absolute IQ levels - it's arrogance relative to engineering capabilities.

Lastly: if we ever make it through climate change and out the other side with powerful AGI, I guess high IQ won't be as central compared to EQ or creativity, except as something that roughly correlates with both.

Edited for clarity.
The spec is final (arrow functions were in ES2015), could be they just still have IE11 users they expect to support.
Depends, my youth is fulled with ZX Spectrum memories and zero about C64, because in the Iberian Penisula and UK it was nowhere to be found.

If I remember correctly the Spectrums could display more simultaneous colors than the C64. Not sure about this.

Yeah, would be better if a US company like Oracle were in charge of it ;)

(Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, just kind of funny/ironic that we're talking about a fork of an open source project that exists because of disagreement with the steward of MySQL... if Alibaba negatively impacts MariaDB, couldn't we just then move on to another fork. MylantaDB anyone?)
Living in Prague, I visited the Bay Area recently. I've never felt more like I was in a 3rd world country. Not even when I was in the norther Czech Republic which is in REALLY bad shape. I mean, have you been to oakland? The place looks like a war zone.
China has the ability (primarily at layer 8 but also at layer 2) to fail closed in the case of unknown but suspicious content from outside, and also has (again, primarily at layer 8) enough control over ISPs to demand filtering on peer-to-peer traffic. Spain doesn't have that infrastructure, and deploying it would cause enough false positives to negatively affect the economy of non-Catalan parts of Spain.
Yeah, I don't see how "mini" is such a compelling feature that you need to plug in a USB keyboard to use it.
Except, as far as I can tell, all of them are not available for pre-order either (at least not anymore).
The main problem here is that you're depending on implementation-specific behaviour. If you train on a device, you have to run on a device with exactly the same behaviour. On top of that, some FPUs have very slow (trapping) denormal handling. I'm also unsure how accurate the gradient computation can be when the signal itself has numerical issues.

I don't deny it's a cool hack, but beyond that I don't think I see the point or the problem this is trying to solve.
It's not clear to me that you're disagreeing. "Cheaper and easier to use" and "more accessible" could be the same thing.
Or maybe it's as simple as dividing responsibilities. If they believe Puerto Rico is not part of the US then obviously other priorities take over. Kind of like on the airplane where you are supposed to put your own oxygen mask on first.
As someone who has major "on" and "off" period swings of productivity due to depression, this list is pretty on the mark.

One thing I would add, which I've seen around here and other places, is the "no zero days" rule. Do at least one thing everyday to work towards your goal. Not only does this help instill discipline, it helps you prevent the snowball effect of having a bad day.
I imagine because China has spent more time on the required infrastructure to make this happen. Spain is trying to stop something that is set to happen on Oct 1, so they have a finite amount of time to suppress the information.

This is exactly the first thing that occurred to me, but I'm far from an economist. It does seem that if literally everything was in a bubble, that would be equivalent to the dollar having less value. It would be wildly out of line with CPI inflation, and I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps consumer goods have just become very cheap.

Alternatively, maybe "everything bubble" means a very high amount of capital investment.
ExtJS - I have good memories of working with its well-documented, excellent API. For me, it was a precursor to learning iOS development. Only to denounce Apple shortly after, once I realized that Apple will insist that I continue to upgrade my hardware to their latest piece of shit perpetually, throughout my entire life. So yeah. I'm still a web developer. ^_^
How do you explain this?

I'd suggest looking at the cost per student. Otherwise, your results are going to be pretty influenced by population trends.

I don't have the numbers you are looking for, but here is the closest I know off the top of my head for my town. Back in the mid 70s, my town was spending right at $1,000 per student. That is a bit over $4,000 in today's dollars. Today they are spending a bit more than $12,000 per student. The $12,000 seems pretty typical for many of the school systems I've seen.

If wages grew as fast as our spending on education, the average wage in the US would be over $110,000 instead of the roughly $40,000 I think it is today. (That $40k may be high. I can't remember if it is household or individual income.)
SF and NYC are polar opposites in nearly every aspect of daily life. For one to jump ship to either or, is a big difference. I prefer the seasons as well, I couldn't live in any place where it's basically the same weather ever day. Fall just arrived here in New York (the best season ever).
Out of stock! :( :(
Could you please not vent irritation into comments here? You're making a good point (I agree with you—I prefer to manage dependencies myself rather than depend on complex software whose subtleties I can never remember) and then associating it with extraneous rudeness, which is bad for your point as well as for the container here.
