"if countries like Korea and China weren't poised to exploit embryo selection and genetic modification for increased health and IQ"
Increasing IQ could only make sense for me if the society would know how to integrate people with High IQ. But for now we are far from it with 50% of high IQ people failing their education cursus and having issues interacting socially
> Voila, more growth, fewer bubbbles.

It seems simple on paper. But the wealthy didn't get wealthy by giving away money.

Asking the wealthy to hand back some of their "welfare" is going to be incredible difficult and unsuccessful.

Think about it. It's easier to ask 1 million people to give up $1 each than it is to ask one person to give up $1 million dollars.
Of course it's free. That's how slavery works. Slaves get everything provided for them but have no freedom to profit from their labor or improve their conditions.

Ok, but the alternative is to simply wait longer for both the compiler and framework to be released together. There's no option C which gets you the feature just as quickly and still allows for parallel release of the two pieces need to implement it. So... Don't use the feature or be happy you have the ability to use it sooner.
I've actually worked with and managed international teams for a number of major consultancy companies and outside of silicon valley I don't see much difference in skillsets and proficiency between the US, Europe and India.
Your problem with a book that begins with high speed pizza delivery by a coder-ninja into a fortified corporate suburb on behalf of a mafioso pizza company... is that the protagonist is named Hiro Protagonist?

I would have expected suspension of disbelief to have been broken somewhat earlier, if that's an issue.
> More interestingly is that Highways England has now recognised you cannot share space safely between vehicles with very different speed profiles.

On limited access highways (motorways), trucks (lorries) can share space with cars that are going quite a bit faster (70 mph vs 40 mph) when going up steeper grades. This is typically accomplished by providing an extra lane of travel for the slower vehicles to use such that faster vehicles can easily overtake them.

One major problem that cyclists have when riding on roads with motor vehicles is that there is a belief that it's okay to share a lane with a cyclist while overtaking them. This reduces the separation between the cyclist and the overtaking vehicle and increases the chance for a collision. As far as I know, this doesn't seem to be the case when overtaking any other type of vehicle.
I'm not sure how the audacity works exactly, but keep in mind that one goal of RNNoise is real-time, so it cannot look ahead when denoising. OTOH, if you're denoising an entire file, then you should look at the whole file at a time. This makes it easier to make accurate decisions about what to keep and what to discard.
This is a troll... can we just ban this account and delete this post?
Okay, just for fun I punched this into a loan calculator. Assume the cost of their medical education is $200,000. (Everything here is USD.) A ten-year loan at 10% interest would require paying $2,643.01 a month. According to the article, the Cuban government is making about $2,700 a month on each doctor in Brazil.

So even if you factor in free medical education, it's hard to argue the doctors still owe the Cuban government something 10 years after getting their degree.
I made a mistake, believing that `ag` could handle extended glob syntax. The real numbers are:

~/src/racket/racket/share/pkgs$ find . -iname '*.rkt' | xargs ag lambda | wc -l
33589

~/src/racket/racket/share/pkgs$ find . -iname '*.rkt' | xargs ag λ | wc -l
16722

Glyph λ is more common than I thought, but still heavily outnumbered by spelled-out lambda.
When I worked with IBM through Lockheed as we were doing the RFID system Lockheed was selling to DOD and DOD-subs...

It was a freaking nightmare of a process just to provision a single firewall rule... Sure thats a famous old saying about IBM -- but my personal new one is that I would never hire their professional services for anything after that experience.
IBM is a massive consulting agency and they sell people's time and expertise to other companies. Customer projects, resource augmentation. Similar to Accenture and others.
Hardware architecture is the horizon of my knowledge. But one thing I've always wondered is this: why not just have memory addresses inside a computer map to local IPv6 addresses, then have some other "chip" that can distinguish between non local IP addresses that would, in a perfect object world, point to places in memory on another remote machine?

Obviously there would need to be some kind of virtualization of the memory but hopefully you get the idea. Not exactly related to naming but whatever.
Also the default database on most shared hosting, so anybody who got a start in web dev likely cut their teeth on MySQL.
This is fantastic. Fastly is great but hard to use with Varnish VCL, and no other CDN had any real scripting capabilities. The service worker API is also a lot better than serverless cloud functions or lambda@edge.
Same here; evidence I have to support is that the ONLY people with (newer) cars [1] were Airbnb hosts. My host not only owned a late-model Suzuki 4door but also was getting into the business of "flipping" old apartments into Airbnbs/Casa particular. Since he had 24 hour access to the internet (somehow?? [2]) he also acted as the agent for other Airbnbs for people that didn't have access.

[1] Of course there were people with the old cars, but these were passed down and are, as I understand it, required by law to act as a mini-bus service.

[2] Although internet in Cuba is only officially available by buying a hourly code on a scratcher card from the telephone company and then Wifi is in the parks in Havana, I did notice bootleg Wifi SSIDs when walking the streets. They were easy to spot even without "war-walking" since they are a good 1/2 km from any nearby park and had usually a dozen folks on their phones browsing Facebook or using Skype. I suspect it's either an insider connection at the telephone company OR a clandestine Directway / Hughesnet satellite (there are NO visible dishes in Cuba, I believe it must be illegal).
To the contrary, someone who lives in the Netherlands is quite prototypical of who I'd expect to hold such a naive purview.
I think the key difference is if you're designing specifically for travel on earth then supersonic jets probably are much cheaper.

However, if you're designing for space and can allocate the R&D costs to space business units, you end up potentially developing something that has better marginal costs to transport people across the earth.

Basically, the R&D of building this is astronomically higher than the supersonic jet. But the (theoretical) promise is the marginal cost isn't that different. However, if you're already doing the R&D for other purposes, then you find yourself owning a system that's (potentially) better for global travel.
'If they do have to go to the hospital, they must bring their own bedsheets, soap, towels, food, light bulbs — even toilet paper. And basic medications are scarce.'

'In the real Cuba, finding an aspirin can be a chore. And an antibiotic will fetch a fortune on the black market. A nurse spoke to Isabel Vincent of Canada’s National Post. “We have nothing,” said the nurse. “I haven’t seen aspirin in a Cuban store here for more than a year. If you have any pills in your purse, I’ll take them. Even if they have passed their expiry date.”'

Is it free if it sets you up for working for 900 dollars a month in the best case for a mid-thirties medical professional? Or working for a complete pittance at home? Seems to me that there are pretty horrid strings attached to that deal. I can feel for their plight.

I'm very surprised that it took this long. This was true for Accenture may years ago.
Because you want to run it on your favorite platform, which might not be x86 and thus need compiler support? I wrote my own editor for exactly this reason: to always be able to have it on any platform.
I disagree--the incentives to own and operate older cars are there. My new car has a huge license fee that degrades as the car ages. Same with insurance--my 30 year old BMW with only basic liability coverage is a couple hundred bucks a years whereas our new 2017 Toyota with all the bells and whistles is nearly a grand.

It's actually weird how many people in capitalist countries look at failed/failing communist states and think of them as utopias, all the while ignoring the plight of millions living there in poverty and with no clear path to a better standard of life.

They should put their money where their mouth is and spend at least a few decades in such countries before criticising others who've made a choice to leave(for various reasons).
Currently, an error, because default handling might not be correct in many cases -- imagine a script implementing access control or expanding an HTML template. But I'd be open to the idea of letting the script call, like, `event.fallbackOk()` upfront to specify that default behavior as a fallback is safe.

Note that the 50ms is CPU time, not wall time. This is actually a pretty huge amount of time for handling one request.
I wonder how this would fare with kids.
> Saying that they're spam just because you've never received email from them would cause most people to be unable to find these confirmation messages.

It's not saying that they are spam. It's just saying that you never received a message from them. That account confirmation email you are expecting will be obviously marked, but that phishing email claiming to be from your bank will be marked too. You look at the mark and decide what to do.

Email clients probably don't do it because it is not as useful as it sounds. Impersonating email senders is not hard, so phishers will just do it.

> If the email address isn't priorly known, it shows the email address instead of the display name.

The only email client that I have ever seen doing that is the roundcube instance I configured on my VPS. I use several clients, nearly all of them either hide the sender address or decrease its relevance enough so that nobody sees them.

I'm in complete agreement with your comment about spam filtering. The only thing is that somehow, it feels like it worked better at the earlier 00's. Nowadays the training for your account will be dissolved in a huge set of unreleated data, so that anything specific for the spam you are receiving will never be reflected on the filter. That is both for marking things as spam and as not spam.
The number of plumbers - more precisely the amount of plumbing work - is essentially constrained by the number of sinks.

I'm not saying it's ok for them to lose some, I'm saying that they're not taking on the risk that everyone claims they are. And yes, an employee very much is risking to lose something. If they get fired or the startup goes under, now they face a very real situation where they might not be able to feed or house their family. I highly doubt that these investors are even close to that point.
Wow, just checked out Gatsby.js for the first time. This library is incredible. Glad you mentioned it! :)
We will soon have the selection power to select for many traits simultaneously. Also, much of the problem super high IQ people have is the result of being surrounded by people much less capable than themselves. If we seize the high-IQ alleles and distribute them to the proletariat this would not be an issue.
Does that mean that if you even receive an email from a list, they get notified that you opened and read it, even if you didn't? If so, that seems bad to me.

Emacs is mostly just unfamiliar. It's also a little bit opinionated, and out of the box its opinions have a little bit of distance from most GUI editors.

It's not actually hard to learn. I reckon vi is harder to learn, but at least with vi you know you have to do things differently. Emacs is much closer to other common editors, just a little bit different, and that can make it surprisingly frustrating, with the emphasis on surprise.

Well, that's true, data is sometimes misleading, mis-reported, or manipulated. It really is much better to just stick to what we believe in our guts to be true.

Belief in the face of evidence to the contrary has been accomplishing great things all over the world lately.
It’s hard to give concrete answers without understandimg the business context but here are a couple of ideas to think about

1/ If you can’t scope work yet propose a discovery phase in which you’ll do whatever you think is needed to get to a scope of work. More importantly in this phase work out the ROI for their business of doing the work. You should be able to bid this fixed price - 3 of you for x weeks/months.

2/ Day rate consulting is safe but you may not be able to capture a fair share of the value you create. Pricing based on a percentage of their ROI over 3 to 5 years may get you a better deal.

At the end of the day what you are doing right now is sales. The companies budgets, your competition, how they like to work etc will all be big drivers of how you can operate. Make sure you understand all that.

If the Cuban government is making those decisions it's not communism, it's state capitalism. In socialism, workers own the means of production collectively, and have voting power and representation in their workplace.

In the presentation he mentions that the payload volume is larger than an A380, which seats 525 passengers in a standard configuration or over 800 passengers in an all-economy configuration.

So we're looking at more like $400-$600k revenue per launch. And honestly, if prices came in at 50% more than traditional airlines, you're looking at a hell of a great deal to cut your travel time dramatically.

As an aside, I hate the official React tutorial and am disappointed that there are no revisions to it with this significant redesign and React version update. It is the embodiment of the “how to draw an owl” meme, requiring you to have a strong JS frontend background in the first place, and the resulting demo application doesn’t give much insight in how to use React for standard websites. (Unfortunately, this isn’t unique to the official React tutorial; many React tutorials are like this)

Contrast with the official Vue.js tutorial (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/), which goes through things step by step with normal HTML syntax.
"Who defines what is considered credentials?"

Whoever writes Wikipedia articles, for one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential

Examples of credentials include [...] identification
documents, [...] passwords, user names, [...] and so on.

A social security number would fall under either "username" or "password", depending on how it's used, and the SS card itself would fall under "identification documents".

"it's just a unique number signifying you."

A.k.a. a credential.

"The bank decides that they will take someone telling them your SSN as proof of your identity"

Yes, because this is already commonplace throughout the U.S., including by the U.S. government. We can debate the pros and cons of the current SSN-reliant system all we want, but that doesn't change the fact that an SSN is a credential establishing identity, and that therefore the acquisition of an SSN by an unauthorized party constitutes theft of that credential and - ergo - "identity theft". It also doesn't change the fact that the legitimate owner of that credential was a victim of that actual theft (in addition to whatever actions from the bank in response to other crimes enabled by that theft).

"thus supposedly making your name a credential."

Your name is a credential, per the above definition. It's a shitty credential, yes, and one which is easily forged (and by no means unique, unlike a SSN), but it's a credential nonetheless.
I've definitely read a ton of code like this.

I often do it in simulation as well to help speed up calculations. Basically one is still doing floating point, but manually. i.e. You changed the unit (a.k.a. exponent a.k.a. window) such that the desired value can be accurately quantized by an unsigned int (a.k.a. mantissa a.k.a offset).

The big caveat being one needs to be sure the calculation doesn't over/under flow the window, of course.

I read it when it came out and I enjoyed it then. It had some neat ideas (about online communities and how people would use them; CIC Earth; etc) but really it's just a book and it's okay to not like it for any reason. Also, it's 25 years old now, and some of it hasn't aged well.

I do remember disliking the hyperbole of exaggeration (In a few of his early books) - the fractal heatsink, the sharpness of the obsidian blade, the politeness of the tea, etc.

The thing you're not mentioning is that these doctors don't live in Cuba. They live in capitalist countries in which the government doesn't (even try to) provide X, Y, and Z.

Sure, the doctors got a free education, and that's worth a lot. But at some point they'll have paid off the value of that education and after that point, they're still being taxed at some very high rate and they're seeing no benefit from those taxes because they live in Brazil. Seems like exploitation to me.
However the cost of their medical education, while certainly substantial by Cuban standards, is nowhere near that.
