AlphaGo Zero's win, what it means
Liquid water has a vapor pressure, dependent mostly on temperature. When this vapor pressure exceeds the partial pressure of the water in the gas phase, water crosses the phase barrier. This is how you can have trace measurements of water vapor in (1 bar) air that is cooler than 100 degC.

Some volatile chemicals--such as the acetone in nail polish remover--are detectable as odors even when their temperature is well below their boiling point. This is the liquid phase establishing an equilibrium with the gas phase at that temperature. The most energetic molecules in the liquid escape into the gas (cooling the liquid in the process).

Imagine a lake in a desert. The maximum daytime temperature in that desert is 40 degC, well below the boiling point of 100 degC. The lake has no outflows. Over the course of a month, the lake disappears. Where did the water go? It evaporated, and the water in the gas phase blew away and was replaced by dry air, thus allowing more of the liquid water to evaporate. If you put an airtight dome over it, the lake would stay put, and the air in the dome would get very humid. You would probably also be able to see condensation on its walls, as the vapor movement continuously transfers heat from the lake to the dome.

The dicamba is likely evaporating from the soil into air with no gaseous dicamba in it, blowing to adjacent fields, and the plants are uptaking it as a gas via their normal respiration. No condensation is required, for the same reason that plants don't eat dry ice to get their CO2. Once inside the plant, the vapor dicamba is free to dissolve into the plant's own water. It is not necessary for it to dissolve in water outside the plant to be taken up by the roots. Those plant cells might not have a lot of water in them, or they might be filled to bursting with it. Plants have to deal with deluge and drought differently than we animals do.

The questions everyone have to ask are what concentration of dicamba is damaging to the plant, and what is the exact relationship between wind, distance, ambient moisture, and concentration? By calculating from the vapor pressure vs temperature of the chemical, and solubility, you should be able to draw a plume-shaped area on a map that shows where dicamba-vulnerable plants will die after an application. If plants outside that area die, something in your model is wrong. And people are claiming that plants outside the area are dying. What part of the model is wrong? Based on the article, it seems like the volatility is off.

Anyone interested in these topics should look into the books "The Hot Zone" (about the first filovirus outbreaks, including Ebola) and "The Demon in the Freezer" (about several biological agents, most notably Smallpox, and their potential for use in warfare).

"The Demon in the Freezer" goes into the story of the eradication of Smallpox in the natural world, and talks a lot about containment of viral breakouts as well as the role of vaccination.
In practice most vendors choose from the top moderators on the platform who all have good reputations, so it's not as dangerous as it sounds.

If a vendor only offers unknown moderators a buyer just won't buy from them, or will ask them to add a moderator they trust.

It is a double-edged sword though. It makes it easier for people to use a module without understanding it fully (or at all).

As others have pointed out, communism would work perfectly here - immunize your child whether you like it or not.

At least by school age here is what they did - they'd come to school, call each classroom by age to the nurse's office. They'd be a visiting nurse with a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_injector or vials of oral polio vaccines and you'd be immunized no questions asked. Not even sure if they sent a note to parents or how they even recorded it happened.

So they did that pretty well. Many other things like like economy, freedom of speech, not so much.
German "strategy" certainly helped.

Had they kept Hitler's egomaniacal lust to crush Stalingrad itself at bay and instead simply encircled Stalingrad to cut off its supplies and proceed to take the Caucasus oil fields instead, the whole war could have turned differently.
>I think the lawsuits started before Eyeo introduced the whitelist?
That's correct. Publishers explicitly say that they don't want to have adblocking at all (Whitelist is just a sideshow). You can also see that from the lobbying activities in Germany pushing for an anti-adblocking law (https://netzpolitik.org/2016/informationsfreiheitsanfrage-lo...) and other proceedings with smaller adblockers. Plus, most obvious, it is way easier for a German publisher to sue a German company rather than a someone behind a project whom you don't know and obviously not seated in Europe.

Modern game engines parcel out work via a job system, where functional tasks are dispatched to the cores in a system. This is opposed to the idea of 'one core/thread will own a task for the lifetime of the application, while checking in with a master core/thread'. Actually, most games have a hybrid model. Usually one thread/core is dedicated to rendering, another thread/core is dedicated to high priority tasks/jobs, and then the remaining resources are used by whatever jobs are left.

Backblaze, from what I gather, mostly just leave dead drives in place for a while.

They have to maintain more racks to do that (how much does it cost them to have their drive arrays running st 90%?) but that drops the amortized cost of replacing the drives.

But for me it might be cheaper to have one big drive that fails twice as often, because the odds of a drive being dead on any given Tuesday and the costs of addressing that might be low enough to offset the price differential.
Ok, you're presenting to an audience consisting of lots of tables, each with at least one person at it. You say: "Will every table please have a representative stand up."

To question the AC is to suggest that for some configuration of (sufficiently many) tables, it's impossible for the audience to fulfill your request, on account of there not existing a function f(table)=representative. This sounds absurd, because obviously each table can independently choose a representative, and it isn't like they need to coordinate with the other tables in order to fulfill your request.
I have almost that sentence in the blog post, search for mainframe or terminal.
Actually the usual argument, as per the article, is more like "only rich people can afford to live in new housing, therefore building new housing doesn't help poor people", which is of course false.

I never got to program one but I remember being fascinated by the weird architectures of the PS2 and PS3.

It occurs to me that there are some similarly weird architectures in mobile right now -- it's not uncommon to see Android flagship phones with 8(!) cores, which is just ludicrous. And there are lots of asymmetric "big.LITTLE" designs with a mix of high-speed and low-power cores.

Maybe I'm just reading the wrong blogs, but I've barely seen any discussion on how to optimize code for those crazy Android multicore CPUs, even though it seems like there's potentially a lot of upside. I guess Android is so fragmented and fast-moving that it's a tougher challenge than optimizing for two or three specific games consoles; also Android app prices are low so there probably isn't as much motivation.

Also, Apple is miles and miles ahead of everybody else in mobile performance, and they've consistently gone with just 2-3 cores. Their mobile CPUs and GPUs are very smartly designed, really well-balanced.

Yeah possibly. Everyone would be immunized. But then they'd die of hunger waiting in a bread line or in a labor camp somewhere if they said the wrong thing to someone.
I think we should shift time zones a little every day, so that (in some designated location, say New York or DC) the sun rises at exactly 6am every morning. This eliminates the sudden transition to daylight savings which is the source of most complaints, and it would be trivial to implement with modern electronics.
Or more importantly making traffic worse, especially if the traffic is already bad.

Do you think it's a good thing that your political opinions are so profoundly influenced by shitposting you see online?
I don't see that in the article. The article features For Rent signs in front of older apartments:

"More new apartments are coming on line, and now for rent signs are more plentiful than mushrooms after the first autumn rains. Take a look:

a bunch of pictures

We photographed these signs in the space of about an hour on a recent sunny afternoon in Portland’s close-in East side neighborhoods. These signs are all in front of existing, older apartments."

The article's inflation chart is just for multi-family rental pricing. Hence my follow-up question if anyone knows of pricing effects on detached home sales. (I'd like to move back to Portland, but housing prices appear to be way up since I left a decade ago. And I now have too many pets for an apartment.)
How is this "beautiful"? It's just the direct text of a database look up in a moderately nice font. I'd rather have a nice table layout without all of the programmer-y info in there on a white (or maybe slightly off-white) background with black (or very dark gray) text at a reasonable size, personally. To me the font and coloring is far less a part of the beauty than all the other crap that the database returns and that didn't get discarded or reformatted.

I don't know if the other info is useful to other people. But if so, perhaps you could have a few different "pages". One that gives all the DB stuff, and one that just prints the human readable stuff?
There are two counter arguments to this:

1) Some areas have geographic or legal limits to constructions (maximum building hight, water, etc). There is simply no way to build more building without first demolishing existing buildings, which is costly.

2) Most people want to live close to work, and work tends to be close to the centre. A house that is an hour commute away will not influence the price in the immediate vicinity.

If space was infinite, it would be Econ 101, but given that space is not, elected officials need to protect the voting population from inflation, through whatever means possible.
