Yes, that particular example is intuitive. But I don't see how a similar reasoning should apply to arbitrary infinite sets however. That's a huge intuitive leap in my opinion, and it's one that I can't follow.

This seems amazing to me - take trash plastic, grind it up, irradiate it with a food-grade tool, then mix it with Portland cement 98.5/1.5 and it makes the resulting concrete 15% stronger - and the resulting concrete can still be reinforced by normal means.

You're taking trash, applying a tool that is already in widespread use, and getting a better end-product out of it? Apparently the world consumes 10 billion tons of cement per year [0]; that means that we can dispose of 150 million tons of plastic bottles using this technique.

There's gotta be a catch - this seems amazingly good.

So now, what am I supposed to think of all those claims that the flu vaccine is essentially a step or two behind nature.

Then, for me, I worry about the adjuncts and other stuff added to the standard vaccines as I have autoimmune problems. There are alternative vaccines that are available but I don't remember their efficacy.

So I refuse taking vaccines unless absolutely necessary until I see viable alternatives without aluminum, any kind of mercury, and so on.
> I don't know where the 132 column printer "standard" came from.

Back in 1959, the IBM 1401's printer (the 1403) is what made 132 columns standard. But I haven't been able to figure out why they went with 132 columns. I discussed this with the 1401 team at the Computer History Museum and nobody came up with a good explanation. There's no solid technical or business reason for 132 columns.
Just walk around a BestBuy in the US and you'll quickly realize how many Chinese brands there are: TP-Link routers, Huawei routers and phones, Lenovo laptops, Hisense TVs, ZTE phones, DJI drones, Haier appliances, Ninebot scooters, Instantpot press cookers, etc. If you also count brands owned by Chinese companies than include GE appliances and Motorola, Alcatel, Blackberry smartphones.

Go on Amazon.com and Chinese brands are bestsellers in many electronic categories: Anker/Sunvalleytek in phone accessories, Yi in action cameras and dash cams and security cameras, TCL in televisions, etc.

Also the rest of the world isn't just US. Chinese smartphone brands have 50% marketshare world wide. Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO are growing fast in South Asia, South East Asian and MENA. Transsion (you've probably never even heard of this company) owns phone brands that dominate Africa and is the marketshare leader there. Chinese home appliance and consumer electronic brands are also big in non-western countries.

I really hope NY get on board as well. Being in Manhattan during the winter, the sun is gone many days by 4pm, sometimes earlier depending which part of the city you are in (which skyscraper is blocking the last bit of sunlight). As a native Texan it's tough to adjust to :O

Radiator sizing only cares about the working fluid temperature, temperatures past that point are irrelevant.

Anyway, remember failure point != safe operation.

50/50 antifrease mixture generally boils at 220f at 1atm. As you say assuming nothing is wrong up to 265f is possible to maintain, but operating temperatures are generally kept below the boiling point for several very good reasons.

Critically, the engine should operate even if the cooling system has a minor leak as long as it's working fluid is topped off.

I wouldn't say this is a conclusive debunking. According to your source from 2012:

> So why is this a myth? It's certainly true that Monsanto has been going after farmers whom the company suspects of using GMO seeds without paying royalties. And there are plenty of cases — including Schmeiser's — in which the company has overreached, engaged in raw intimidation, and made accusations that turned out not to be backed up by evidence.

> But as far as I can tell, Monsanto has never sued anybody over trace amounts of GMOs that were introduced into fields simply through cross-pollination.

Another source [1] says, "its report, called Seed Giants vs US Farmers, the CFS said it had tracked numerous law suits that Monsanto had brought against farmers and found some 142 patent infringement suits against 410 farmers and 56 small businesses in more than 27 states."

I wonder how judiciously the NPR reporter reviewed these 142 patent infringement suits to discern whether none concerned small amounts of cross-contamination. Color me skeptical.

Even if you do get the vaccine, there's no guarantee that it will actually include your new virulent strain.

True, for reference look at this table from the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/effectiven...

2011-12: 47% vaccine effectiveness
2012-13: 49% vaccine effectiveness
2013-14: 52% vaccine effectiveness
2014-15: 19% vaccine effectiveness
2015-16: 48% vaccine effectiveness
2016-17: 42% vaccine effectiveness

But I still get my flu shot every year, better to be 40-50% protected than 0%.
There’s an excellent app called BabyConnect that we used for this with our daughter.

Of course eventually we (like most parents I believe) learned to relax and not obsessively record sleep, feeds and nappies. My friends who have more than one child said after the first they didn’t do any recording like this and instead just let things take their natural course.

There is a market for this. But I can’t see anything doing a better job than baby connect.
This is good news. Is more apartment availability also curbing the recent price increases for owner-occupied detached home sales? They're rather different goods, but the effects from lower apartment rents might spill over to some extent.
University of Chicago isn't a bad school. I am, however, straining to think of another Chicago research university. But then compare it to Stanford+Cal+UCSF and it just isn't a fair fight.

An underrated advantage in SV is its top tier legal and capital talent. WSGR, Cooley, Fenwick, ... are outstanding. For VCs you can start with Sequoia at the top and work your way all the way down to angels. L+S did a demo in Andy Bechtolsheim's garage and walked away with a check for $250,000. That just ain't happening in Chicago.
NB: herbicides are considered a subset of pesticides.

Also, the idea that seed patenting is new is ludicrous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_Patent_Act_of_1930 Also the wind-contamination and lawsuit bullshit is a lie and clearly demonstrates that you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
It's fine if you two want to dig into the stats, but I don't think that element is really essential to the point that "Similarly, not all unmarried people are child molesters, contrary to the impression you might have from all the pedophile Catholic priests in the news."

Further, 150 million tons of plastic isn't an insignificant amount - apparently it took us 60 years to put that much in the oceans.

OK, so I'm probably just confused here, but: It's not particularly surprising that structures have the same tag, but sum types (aka variants) do. (As you note.)

That's certainly runtime-information about the types of values, but I suppose our disagreement may be about the exact meaning of RTTI. After looking at the Wikipedia entry, I see that my intuition doesn't align with the C++ 'definition' of RTTI, either so thanks for correcting that misconception. It actually looks more like Haskell's Typeable in that it (can apply)/(applies) to any type even primitive types. Of course Typeable is opt-in and stored separately from the values, so...

I'm still not sure I understand your objection, but maybe I just haven't read your OP closely enough and/or thought about it long enough.

Refactoring JSP Scriptlets Using JSTL and MVC Architecture
And yet amateur musicians are still practicing and performing.

Of course they, because parent's point was that Sousa was horrendously wrong (obviously). Sousa's problem was a one-dimensional view of musical performance. He was foremost speaking from the POV of a professional performer. Therefore, the goal of all amateur musicians is to become professional performers, but once they hear a pro on a record they'll get discouraged and give up. This, of course, is poppycock. I play a lot of music and have little desire to make money from it. What's that about taking a fun hobby and turning it into work?

Second, I'm sure Sousa viewed recorded music as a threat to his job as a professional live performer, while ignoring that records scale and live performances don't. (Ignore for the moment the part where record companies keep most of the profits.)

WIth no group rehearsal, sometimes it's not perfect, but it's fun.

Heh, try a bluegrass jam. Someone calls a tune that I might, or might not, know. They'll give a key, maybe a chord progression. Hell, if I'm lucky, I might not only know the tune, I might have even played it in the last month so I stand a chance of coming up with a solo (or "break" in bluegrass terms) on the fly when it comes my turn. If I've never even heard the tune, but it's in (say) G with some variation of a I-IV-V progression, I can probably improvise with something that follows the melody. Or not.

Needless to say, I've had some solos/breaks that only were "not perfect", I corkscrewed into the ground with my tail on fire. That's the topsy-turvy world of jamming. But similar to your setup, even when I've completely embarrassed myself, it's always fun.

(As an aside, though it sounds like something I'd not participate in, your setup sounds like a fun way to get to play with people.)
Why do I feel like in a few months, cancer patients will have a hard time obtaining opioids? (I saw my father die a horrid prolonged painful death due to underprescribing of opioids. I think about the pain he went through daily.)

I don't know what exactly this company did, but incentives have been around the pharmaceutical industry forever.

And no--you're not susposd to give a doctor money to remember your drug when writing that script.

My point is there are people who are successfully taking opioids. (They have good studies proving that people can successfully take opioids without having to constinstly up the dose. The one I recall reading was was done using residents of nursing homes.)

I don't want to live in a society that doesn't treat pain.

Trump just allocated a few bucks to fund a drug that 'takes the pain away, without any risk of addiction.' Good luck! Let's find the pill they have been searching for forever.

Personally, I would like to see bupenorpine provided for free to addicts. They have a generic form that's reasonable. Since we have a "National Emergency"; why do I have a feeling we could get the price lower?

If they(addicts--I guess?) abuse the gift, they are cut off.

I am so tired of politicians getting into medicine.
The difference is largely in the domain knowledge. You can learn just as much about web or mobile development on the web as you can at Google (more, probably, since Google's stack is largely proprietary and bound by lots of legacy code). You can learn as much about databases and programming languages. You can even learn all the machine-learning algorithms you'll need.

But you won't learn as much about search as you would at Google, or about logistics as you would at Amazon, or about psychological manipulation as you would at Facebook. All that knowledge is locked up in the corporations that profit from it, and if all your software knowledge is based on what's publicly available, you probably wouldn't even know it exists. You might learn how deep learning works and how to apply it to MNIST digits from a web tutorial, but you won't learn anything about how to apply it to other problem domains or even what those other problem domains it can be applied to are from it.

And economic returns are all based on supply & demand, so if you're supplying a service that everybody else can learn too, your economic returns are bounded by what all those other people are willing to work for. The big bucks accumulates to monopolies, those firms and the people who work within them who know things that nobody else does.
I did not say an "investment" doesn't include an investment in labor, of certainly does.

The context was "bootstrap without investment." The answer is, you don't, you either invest yourself (capital or labor) or you look for investors. You don't "make someone a co-founder," that strongly implies that they are a passive actor, you look for someone willing in invest, you look for someone looking to start a company. You don't have "employment agreements," you have "business partnership."
Compared to NaCl, for someone who wants to learn how cryptography libraries work, "TLS" is too much of a moving target. It is unfinished software that may never be finished. Too many versions of too many libraries supporting too many ciphers by too many developers. Too many knobs and switches.

As for OpenSSL, not everyone is on 1.1 yet. There is no ChaCha20-Poly1305 in 1.0.1_. So while some bits of NaCl have been adopted into the TLS suite, it is only a subset of web servers that are supporting the so-called "subprotocol". And still no Ed25519, even though it has been used in OpenSSH for some time now.

All these factors make TLS undesirable for me. Too much complexity compared to NaCl, IMO. For others, TLS may be the right choice.

1. Only those publishers, which comply with the Acceptable Ads Criteria (www.acceptableads.com) will be passed through and only to those users who haven't decided to block all ads.
2. Only those publishers pay money, which get more than 10 Millionen additional ad impressions via the Accéptable Ads program.
3. Acceptable Ads Criteria are already handed over to the Acceptable Ads Committee (AAC): https://acceptableads.com/en/committee/. The AAC is an independent committee, made up of eleven stakeholders who represent three distinct coalitions: User Advocates Coalition (digital rights organization, ad-block user), For Profit Coalition (advertiser, advertising agency, ad-tech company, publisher / content creator) and the Expert Coalition (user agent, creative agent, researcher / academia).

UE4 in particular I know handles all game logic in a single thread, and you can't touch UObjects from outside of that.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of when I said games programmers seemed skeptical of threads.

Some of that coarse-grained parallelism could possibly be done in JS with Web Workers, but those have their own problems. (See the recent discussion here about the "tasklets" proposal: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15511519)
It should be clarified that late stage capitalism critique and antifa do not have any ideological or associational overlap. The former is theory limited to effects of economic relations, while the latter is a reactionary-by-nature political call to action. I realize this is not obvious in the names.

Fears from raised awareness of late stage capitalism would not by any sound logic even motivate assiciation with something like Antifa. It would more likely inform and divert one’s alignment with something like that.

In my view, one would have to be willfully ignorant to deny the first, and willfully ignorant to align with the latter. In my view, this is a pretty good example of why censoring these conversations is a terrible solution. It can only serve to limit our ability to have nuanced understandings about the world we live in.

You don't have to commit genocide to be "genocidal." It's an adjective that means either "involving or relating to" to the act.

Similarly we say someone is "suicidal" but that doesn't mean they have committed suicide.

Having or displaying an attitude or a policy that could kill lots of people(presumably the OP is referring to North Korea" can be correctly labeled genocidal.
They said they will support it officially, which means they are in conversations with JetBrains to make it stable in Android Studio. They didn't implement a thing in the language, not even the plugins for android studio.

Exactly.

I know some pretty tough guys. One of which took a gunshot wound and barely needed any recovery time.

This same guy got in a car accident that ruined his back. After some surgery, he tried to not use opioid pain killers, but he described it as maddening. It's not the pain that brings you issues, it's the constant dull, aching pains that give your life grief.

He started taking prescribed opioids for it. When it came time to ween off of them, he said it was like looking into a void where he had two exceptionally clear choices: continue using opioids, or struggle to get off of them. He picked the latter and is opioid free for a few years now. He said it was the hardest thing he's ever done.

He's just happy to say that he doesn't need them anymore.

Why AMD's New Laptop Chip Might Be Its Best Performer Yet
This is a matter of opinion, but language-specific navigation, searching, and refactoring is where I'd draw the line between an editor an an IDE. VS Code may not be there yet, but they're improving quickly and I think it's only a matter of time.

Better search ranking seems like a feature that could easily be added (though it has to be done for each language).

I'm happy to see competition in this space. The end user might not see it, but IntelliJ internals are pretty horrible from a plugin developer's point of view and haven't improved in many years. Moving language smarts to editor-independent servers (with VS Code's Language Server Protocol) seems like the right architectural move.
There are lots of systems to develop between the low level generic engine and the high level one-off (ish) gameplay code for a specific product. For example, a good brawler combat engine and the tools, pipeline and experience to put it to good use is pure gold to a company like Platinum Games. You can see similar systems lineages in companies attached to certain game types, like Bungie, Firaxis, etc.

There's an interesting split between outdoor companies that have made this switch (e.g. North Face) and ones that really haven't (e.g. Black Diamond).
