For boredom that's a good reply, but for fairness it's not so much. Humans are profoundly social creatures and our inherent need for fairness is extremely strong. People are willing to die and kill for fairness alone. A perception of fairness determines how much damage a negative situation causes. It significantly alters our ability to feel empathy in many situations. Often (and this is common with kids due to their inexperience) an unfair situation just seems unfair because of a lack of full understanding of the situation. Explaining it so that they can see it would actually be unfair for them to get their way can be helpful. Attempting to fight their inherent desire for fairness is... either not helpful or harmful. In the best case, they'll rebel against you. In the worst case, they give up and accept learned helplessness.
That’s the idea: an anteroom containing the accoutrements to accompany the Pharaoh on his voyage into the afterlife. According to Houdain’s theory of how they were constructed, the ”Grand Gallery” was basically a machine spade that served no ceremonial purpose whatsoever and was sealed off from the main ceremonial passageways as a bit of an embarrassment. That, in turn, is why we have been oblivious about these other spaces for so long: quite by coincidence, when breaking into the pyramid, the service tunnels were the ones the profaners quite accidentally blundered into. According to Houdain we’ve been crawling around inside the ductwork of the Waldorf Astoria for centuries.

Exactly. When my 10 visitors a day start writing too many comments, I usually jump to containerizing everything, deploying kubernetes, and installing a queuing system w/ workers to handle the load. A zookeeper cluster with Kakfa could definitely work too, and has the added benefit that you can replay history if your SQLite comment database ever got corrupted.

I just don't understand why people can't see the logic behind using something operationally simple like SQLite.
My 401(k) and the fund I spent less than 10 minutes selecting gives me roughly 15% annual growth. Just last month alone it was about 5%. Greed hurts and kills. I'm happy with this return, and I'd instead invest my time in building something tangible than sitting on a stash of Bitcoin and waiting for the day to sell to come, which would never be. It's just very degrading from a psychological point of view - not selling bitcoins does nobody good, including the owner whose psyche is getting severely affected. On forums, I see people living in misery just to invest every penny in cryptos in hopes of a better life, which possibly would never materialize. With stocks and selecting the right companies to you invest in, and having a modest growth that doesn't activate greed that emphatically, the positive outcome for the world as a whole is evident.
I'm only a few episodes in, but I really like the ideological conflict they've set up. The Federation believes itself to be a unifying force for peace and coexistence. But the Klingons see the Federation as demanding conformity, destroying individuality, and threatening Klingon identity. Though the Federation is clearly meant to be the "good guys", both sides are sympathetic and there are parallels to modern politics (globalism vs. nationalism). Hopefully, the writers can resist the temptation to turn the Klingons into an irredeemable caricature (their statements aren't encouraging: https://www.salon.com/2017/09/22/star-trek-discovery-creator...).

A guy living in a basement in China, Ukraine, or Russia is not sophisticated enough to make such investments. Bitcoin is the amateur investment dream, but, unfortunately, there is unscrupulous money behind it, too. When there's a supply of avid supporters living in denial and who invest any penny in it at any price, there's an opportunity to make money out of somebody else's stupidity.
You are exceptionally lucky then. As of several years ago, they autoplay in my and everyone I've seen using facebook's feed all the time, many (perhaps even most for some) of them are ads rather than friend posted content. Fortunately they appear to stay muted until selected, but it's still annoying none the less. This is both via the website and in app (iOS, I'm sure other platforms suffer the same).

I've been ignoring something for way too long, so if you'll excuse the slight tangent I have a question: What do bloggers mean when they say "challenging"?

These papers take forever to read (take it from me, I am doing research in this area, in particular proofs of correctness for lock free programs). I recommend focusing on the C/C++ ones if only for the practical value.

As for comparison, the C/C++ memory model is more general and is operational. It is also formalized in coq and has some good theorems (data race free sequential consistency being the most obvious).

The RISC memory model is axiomatic and follows the standard axiomatic approach adopted for many other memory models like Java and the current C/C++ standard. That's not a dig, they just don't care as much about rigor.

Axiomatic models consider the every possible execution and then weed out bad ones, where as the operational semantics defines the set of all possible executions using a transition relation. If you're into math you might see these vaguely as extensional and intensional respectively.
How so? I think it's quite the opposite. The GPL allows you to run your code on a server that clients connect to without you having to give them the code to your server.

This is the only way to profit off of GPL licensed libraries.

> General Macarthur was infinitely strong minded, but when he saw someone with war induced PTSD in a hospital bed he slapped him across the face for being a coward. I give him the benefit of the doubt that his own strength made it difficult to see what was a much less understood thing back then. This case is not even close to PTSD, but the concept is the same in that emotional capacity varies widely, even when we practice resiliency.

I believe you mean General Patton here, not Macarthur. I know this story well and I don't think this came from a place of personal attack either. It came from a place of misunderstanding. This is the critical difference I'm getting at. The personal motivation is what matters, not the lack of preemptive filtering of the words or actions themselves.

The solution there was an evolution of the understanding of PTSD. The General was caring deeply about such an important thing, such as not letting well-trained soldier be a coward and hiding in the hospital when other men are dying in the field. And he saw many young kids die and it made him raw.

It's also been said the General may have had his own PTSD and emotional problems, and he wanted to attack the weaker man who made HIM feel that way.

Ultimately he was wrong factually, for misunderstanding the motivations of the soldier. The soldier wasn't being a coward (AFAIK) but suffering from serious mental trauma. If this happened in 2017 it would be a different story because Patton should have known better and what he did was abusive in that context. AND Patton could also have been better informed about his own risks of behavioral problems if he had modern science and education.

Does this mean Patton's brutal honesty was the problem? Or was it the general understanding of PTSD? I believe the latter.

Ultimately this doesn't mean Patton shouldn't have been brutally honest with his regular troops on the battlefield. Which he was, and he was also brutally effective at running the war too, and he was loved for it by his troops. The guy in the hospital is a different story and should have never happened, but I don't think I would have sacrificed Patton's honesty because society and common sense was wrong about a few subjects.

Amazon is in a unique position to create truly universal Cryptocurrency. Right now it pays credit cards a large percent for every credit card transaction. If they create their own they can save a large percentage and they have control over it. Also, they can offer a discount over credit card purchases. There is no dought people would use it.

They will not use bitcoin but create their own. Amazon is out to make cryptocurrencies something people will use every day. Amazing.

No wild claims have been made, we are in the realms of safe science with nobody being taken for a ride. There is no promise of some Hollywood grade new fantasy pyramid feature, just a mystery void.

Voids have had precedents in Egyptology. My favourite being the mess the Mormons got into with the Book of Abraham. Their visionary founder guy buys some Egyptian 'scrolls' from someone who was doing the rounds taking some mummies on tour. So this was magically interpreted as the Bible Part 3, the New, new testament, a.k.a. The Book of Abraham. There were those that had seen the scrolls so they were known to actually exist however there was some big fire in Chicago and the scrolls were apparently lost.

Many decades later someone finds the scrolls in New York, they checked out to be the real deal as the illustrations were the same, including the missing bits. By now people knew a thing about how to read these things properly and the 'scrolls' that had inspired the Book of Abraham turned out to be standard funeral documents, a death certificate of sorts.

The bits that were missing from the 'scrolls' included the heads of Horus et al, therefore our Mormon friends were drawing in the heads of 'Abraham' et al. It was beyond their imagination that Egyptian figures on papyrus documents would have heads of other animals, dogs etc. So the Mormons got it completely wrong, they filled the void in with expected content - human heads - but that was an assumption too far.

So yes, this is just science, nobody is trying to found a new religion here.

I can't speak to all of the factors that affect how much money people take home. Or how many benefits flow to people in ways other than in their paycheck.

Paychecks are not the whole picture and much of what you can buy with the same money adjusted for inflation today is vastly improved. Even ten year old cars are much more reliable than when I first started driving. And that is not in your paycheck.
Maybe? It's all about tradeoffs.

I could see why you would want to figure out how much value the MVP is creating, and $$$ is an honest way to do that.

It sounds like two things are happening with the MVP:
- emphasis on more complicated sites with more data (higher propensity to pay)
- this functionality is actually possible but a user needs to take the time to set it up via a the GUI.

Feels like a pretty good tradeoff to me.
I strongly prefer technical or business presentations not to tell stories. Tell me business or technical stuff. Is shiny effect is what it takes to keep audience focus, then I don't mind it if the content is there. And if that allows to create acceptable presentations to more technical less showmany people, then all the better.

"The story" is just another shiny thing, just in different form.

This isn't about the right-wing dogwhistle of "political correctness" at all. It's about not letting networks of fake users (bots and/or individuals claiming to be someone they aren't) spread false information with no input from real people. There are plenty of real, unrestricted "politically incorrect" people on Twitter right now. The difference - as it pertains to this discussion - is that they are real people, not robot armies paid for by foreign adversaries.

Yes, some of them have been banned, and sometimes the reasons for those bans are dubious because Twitter does not consistently enforce their policies. But that is a separate issue from what's under discussion here.

> Child has autism? No immigration for you.

Is that unusual? I would expect most countries with both public healthcare, and disability assistance programs, to not let people immigrate if they have a pre-existing medical condition that will either cost the public healthcare system boatloads of money, or will mean that they'll never be able to hold down a productive (i.e. tax-paying) job, thus putting them "on the dole" of the disability assistance program for the rest of their lives.

Not saying it's a nice stance—but it's the norm, not the exception, in welfare states, no?
Never, our tech will advance but our needs/wants change too. So we can never reach the end.
