There could be, but this is exactly why politics is toxic. People start to bicker about who gets what piece of a pie before it's even baked, and they're willing to kill each other and destroy the oven over that, even though without that pie, everyone will starve.
Is the high latency you mention due entirely to cold starting instances, or is there another cause?
I've heard it hypothesized that the drills were intended, in part, to make the populace fear in order to support certain policies. Without the drills, the threat of nuclear war would be only theoretical. Having lived through it, what is your impression?

> Put another way, I like to remind people that it is possible to be an intelligent conservative, despite the image the Republican party has been projecting lately.

It's an inevitable truth, with half the country on "either side", that any given side will have a bevy of smart, reasonable, sane people... It's high time to start distinguishing the corporatists, the fascists, and outright liars from "conservatism".

At the same time: with the crusade against reality, common sense, and collective action on long term problems the GOP has wholeheartedly embraced since the 90s (along with the media barons), I think it's high time we remembered that before the 90s we had liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats who weren't afraid of those labels.

The problem isn't that conservatives are "dumb" or "crazy". The problem is that smart conservatives haven't put the GOPs feet to the fire, or changed party affiliation en masse, or primaried the teapartiers to a degree that the tribalism FOX News fosters is offset.
The "plenty of great websites" were developed long time ago. Having a degree of visual consistency of layout across different browsers was not possible then according to standards.

The content will not be lost. The tags will result in valid elements but the rendering may vary. This has always been a thing to be expected, since legacy elements (pre HTML5) never had uniform rendering and contained quirks.

Should the current/new standard have support for ambiguously rendered quirky elements? Is it even a standard then?

After HTML5 the end result will definitely be the same on most (if not all) layout engines. The standardization as a process requires non-conforming legacy to be dropped.
Because objectively there is a limit on bandwidth that grows slower than streaming business and it is unfairly distributed among users in general. You can think of 10 items or less as an analogy. If I try to use my LTE from 17:00 to ~19:30, my bandwidth is almost dead because everyone returned from work to watch their feed. The only way to return my fairness is to storm the network with millions of torrent packets or video read-aheads. If ISPs would sorry me and charge less (I get exactly the same bill, btw), then it is equivalent for them to simply charge heavy users more or throttle them down.

Edit: it is worth noting that ISPs hugely oversell their bandwidth.
I'd say something has changed since we're currently experiencing one of the most prolonged periods of peace in the last 2000 years (Europe) [1] and generally the world over [2]. This could be because the "price" of conflict has gone up, but still, it is something to think about.

And those lockers were not at all secure, at least in my HS. There is no way I would encourage my kid to leave his phone in his locker. He'd be on his 3rd or 4th phone of the year by now.
I’ve said this before on here, but bears repeating as I don’t know that everyone realises you can do it - a great way to wean yourself off the Facebook checking addiction is to unfollow all your contacts and pages. Once you do this, your homepage is basically blank (no news feed), but you still retain the ability to use the messenger, which unfortunately is still socially quite useful from time to time despite having a horrible UX. You also maintain the ability to access pages as usual (FB aggressively tries to push you to register if you view them logged out) and get notifications if people tag you.

I’d really recommend trying it if you have the same feeling of wasting time as the OP - it’s a bit less drastic than removing your account, but it does the job. I thought I might refollow certain people after a while but six months later I haven’t bothered and I now only check the site once a day for messages usually.

You can either do the process of unfollowing manually, or using JavaScript - there is a settings page where you can list all your contacts (by pressing load more a lot) then automate clicking “unfollow”. I can try to find the script I used if you are interested. Sounds like another option is to use a browser extension.

Another piece of advice that others have mentioned is to delete the app - if you want access messages, you can use mbasic.facebook.com. It really sucks that they removed messaging from the mobile site to push users to their sucky apps.

I’ve got respect for people just deleting their account but for me messenger still has enough social use that this is a perfect compromise for now!
> That's just like, your opinion man.

No. Given the technologies we're talking about, what the parent wrote in those two quoted sentences is literally as close to stating an obvious fact as possible when discussing future technology.

> These issues are fundamentally political, and there is no reason that they should be above any form of discourse or criticism.

Discourse and criticism? Fine. But first, understanding. And some basic math.

The way I see most of those objections look, some people would literally prefer everyone to keep dying over the possibility that they won't be the first to receive a life extension serum. It's one of the most selfish beliefs I've ever encountered.
Democracy is fundamentally broken, the examples go far and wide accross the globe.

Lobbies are winning from the population and governments don't give a damn about the people who put them in office.

How can we fix it?
Processing any kind of paperwork takes time and costs money. If the applications are no longer accepted, those costs no longer exist.

The second impact is an increase in costs, not a savings. It's referring to the fact that companies who currently have H4 employees will lose those employees, and will incur costs in replacing them.

I am always impressed by the number of motte and bailey commentors here. The WSJ cravenly lets the most hated corporations write featured Op-eds and that's normal? Ho-hum? Business as usual!?

We need to seriously reconsider what we want out of journalism. I don't want to live anywhere where this sort of media is okay. I'm not sure why anyone else is suddenly okay with this either. The "Free Market" was supposed to be a tool to more efficiently organize labor and capital, not enslave us. It is supposed to work for us, it is our tool. But if readers are now _okay_ with literal shilling in media, then that's it. We've been captured by our own tools, slaves to our own machines.

I keep questioning my decision to have a Washington Post subscription, but I'll sleep better tonight knowing it goes towards something that at least _tries_ to be journalism.

And to follow-up, note that this book in particular is for a graduate-level course in the department of computer and information science, which has an undergraduate-level linear algebra course as a prerequisite.
If enacted, more R&D tech centers might pop up in other countries, esp Canada. The demand for high-level global tech talent is strong enough that most of them would not put up with much and companies will be forced to adapt.
Is android tablet well-loved?
Well that was kind of my point. It's not all that often that you need distributed consensus. The popular and obvious case is payments.

Another one could be proof of existence systems (prove file existed as of a specific time by publishing hashes of it in the blockchain) which already exist too.
Aim for a front end notebook interface like Jupyter or Mathematica. Most excel i've had to play with was to store/manipulate data _and then_ C&P charts or data to word for the report. Seriously, notebooks.
Ah, I was actually wondering what became of that project :)

I first saw it when you posted a couple of letters to gauge interest. Looking forward to read it.
* wealthy developers.

At home I have a 32GB 1800x system with a 2GB/s NVME drive and a 1080ti. I chose Nvidia after years of AMD use due to performance. Of course I use it for gaming as well. At work I have a Dell XPS 15 and we've been buying those or P-series Lenovo's for the devs there.

The new iMac is $6300CAD. There's no way I'm buying it for myself or my devs.

The iOS devs at work get Macbook Pros and prefer the portable nature of them. The UX team get those as well - for the same reason. Plus we'd never fork out that much money for a single machine.

Maybe people who work with 4k video or VFX and need OSX would go for these.
You can (for now at least!) access messages on mobile without an intrusive app by using mbasic.facebook.com.
Ah I see, totally missed that. Thank you.
This is a really cruel move. It honestly only affects a small population of spouses from Indian and Chinese immigrants who have to wait a long time for their green card application to go through (due to per country quotas). The reason why spouses of H1-B immigrants can't find jobs on their own, even when qualified, is because of H1 quotas which fill on the first day of application - and, if they aren't lucky to get it, they are just stuck. Also very few companies want to wait for 6+ months from the time the job has been accepted to when the candidate starts given H1 application needs to be filed on April 1st while the person can only start working on October 1st (if they are lucky to make through the quota). H4 EAD provided a way for them to be employed and do something with their life. With this repeal, that option will be taken away.

On the other hand, Trump is doing a few things to alleviate the situation:

1. He will likely strike down hard against Indian IT companies which take more than half of H1 visa quotas. That should help spouses, who are qualified, to have a better shot at getting an H1.

2. He is proposing a merit based GC going forward vs. the current system where there are country quotas and where family applications take priority.

Both these will help. However, I would have liked to see these happening first vs. H4-EAD taken away.

Except for that bit where we had a major war in former Yugoslavia.

The EU is the one thing that stands between more war in Europe and where we are today. Quite a few forces are acting to split it up. Let's hope it is robust enough to withstand those attacks.
I agree, SQL in Excel would be awesome, Index Match everywhere is a right pain to maintain - to replicate foreign keys. Its amazing what you can do with Sumifs and Countifs, but SQl is better.
VBA is OK but NO search across modules makes it such a pain just to find your code, I wish VBA had better support for UDFs so that they can appear the same to users, as built in functions with tooltips.
MS have done a really bad job of incorporating Power Pivot, it’s confusing and doesn’t feel like a natural part of Excel. I don’t like Pivot Tables they are too Dynamic and a pain too format.
He will likely strike down hard against Indian IT companies which take more than half of H1 visa quotas

Is there any indication that any of these or their domestic representatives donated to Trump's campaign? I'd search but I don't know any names. Seems like a gravy train the companies would be attentive to maintaining, though.
One of my profs in Uni said that it was difficult to find more than a few years in recorded history without active war.

I would argue there has fundamentally been change post WWII, and that is (1) the MAD doctrine--which limits active war--as well as (2) the push towards borderless states / globalization--i.e. even though Sweden is defined as sovereign, the institutions of the world dictate that if it doesn't do what the US says--whether that be torturing suspects at the US's demands[1] or taking down websites--they don't have much of a choice.

During WWII the drive for technology was extreme because of the threat of being conquered. And throughout all of human history our ancestors lived with this threat. We don't really have this threat anymore.

There is a Keynes quote, where he put it, "it is better for man to toil over their bank accounts than each other." Our wars are kind of laughably phony, and the real battle is over numbers in bank accounts--which seems to be the only reason we go to war now anyways (for all parties involved).

We do have a new kind of religion we are all following in a way in the sense that money and dieties are only endowed with whatever faith or meaning we give them. And in makes sense to do it because they've set it up so the rewards and punishments are as such.

So in a way I think this can be seen as the world'd largest and most successful social engineering project in history. I think it is a fundamental change in the nature of our masters.

How much of this is language? In a child’s mind, is the word “age” for example tied to being “X years old”, while that may still intuitively understand the concept of “age”?

I assume they took language into account but can’t access the article. Does anyone have more info about the methodology?

It makes for an excellent API runner. You massage a data set and then run it against an API very easily.
I think he will likely increase the minimum salary bar for IT professionals to qualify for H1 from the current $60k to potentially over $100k. That will wreck a lot Indian IT companies business models where currently it is a price arbitrage game.
Don't see how this is a reason for others to delete the app from their phones, it only show that for you it was the right thing to do.

To come with another data-point, I have the app on my phone, but don't open it every week. I have turned off most notifications, so if I get a notification on the phone I know it is worth it to use 30 sec to check what it is. Instead I check FB a couple of times a day on a PC where I can set the feed to show most recent post first and in a minute or two go through the list of new post from peoples I keep in the feed. Some times it is something interesting there, some times not. For me it is strange how others manage to use hours at a time on FB (except messenger which I use to keep in touch with friends and family).

My point is that you cannot only blame FB for getting addicted, you is the only one that is responsible for how you spend your time. It is getting so "normal" to blame external forces for own behavior
They could have just charged a higher fees to process the applications if this was truly about cost.
Those are some interesting points. What would you replace all of that stuff with?
Also due to ancient tradition. My general experience is traditional cultures are nicer. Hospitality is usually a sacred value, e.g. Bible's story of Abraham unwittingly being a host to God.
Because we are not being honest. You want a private company to act as a public company. Nothing wrong with it, just that public should first buy them out.
Several genocides happened in Africa so he could be referring to one of them (Rwanda genocide as mentioned next to this comment is well known, recent genocide in CAR and so on) or all of them in general. Most western people are mainly familiar with Holocaust as the big example of genocide but there have been several comparable horrific events across continents (Africa, Asia and I think also South America).

Yes, Citizen United and unlimited corporate monetary donations to political candidates is at the core of many of our political problems. The only fix I see is to use the system to fix itself. Wolf-PAC goal is to end the corrupting influence of money in our political system.

I know this is a joke and I also think American gun laws could need some adjustment.

That said what I've always been told is to start with myself: maybe my "opponents" are dumb.

That doesn't help anything but my ego.

Instead I'd recommend looking into common ground or another way to present my arguments.

I disagree deeply with a good number of you but still I think most of you don’t realize most of the time since I either shut up or at least present my views somewhat carefully in the hope that someone might get some inspiration.

I've also changed my own, long held opinions on certain topics (e.g. drug policy) not because anyone here ridiculed me but because somebody took the time to explain instead of shouting troll, downvoting and flagging.

I wish more people here would opt for that solution.
Why did you guys not look at/adopt gatsbyjs ?

From first look, it seems that docusaurus comes with saner and simpler defaults for a site. Gatsbyjs has to have plugins installed just to get markdown working and then grok graphql syntax to fetch data from markdown.

I wonder if that was it.
So every move cannot be precalculated? Some of the constraints may be there. The completeness of information available would be the definition of breakthrough for me. In this case, the first state of the game is presented in total with 100% accuracy. So are all the steps from there onward. In my opinion, the challenge for a breakthrough comes when most of the actions of other players happen in dark and no feedback is presented to the AI.

In a lifelike situation the AI will not have access to the inner state of the game, but instead has to gather the information via the same (restricted) mechanisms as other players.

edit: I should probably clarify that the above is about competitive StarCraft. I should probably learn to play GO, too.
Why are systems like this connected to the internet?

As far as I can see, any safety monitoring system should be air-gapped, or, if remote control is absolutely needed, be connected via a robust physical interface, i.e a thick cable.

There is no good reason for any of these devices to have a public IP address. Physical access should be the only attack vector available when it comes to industrial sabotage.
Is there a way to do anything other than just run through this single opening set of moves? Not a lot of exploration here, or ability to 'find new and creative ways of playing go'

These are just the top links in the search results, not cherry picked at all. You seem to be extrapolating from your experience with ISP choice. I've lived in supposedly very high-tech American cities with only one choice of ISP over 2Mbps. Compare US prices and service to places like Scandanavia. What's the difference? Over here ISPs can extract a much larger fraction of value while providing smaller total value (worse service). This is a natural result of lightly-regulated monopolies and oligopolies. It doesn't mean that their choices not to invest are somehow best for the long-term growth of the internet, in any way shape or form. Their monetary incentives are not aligned with long-term growth of the Internet.
Solidity is a complex moving target with limitations such as max 16 local variables, missing optimizations and only partial support for dynamic allocation.

You might want to compile directly to EVM instead of through Solidity. The EVM is very simple, as far as virtual machines go. It's fully documented in [the yellow paper](https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf) and only changes with hardforks (and then only incrementally in a backwards compatible way).

Smart contract development feels like embedded systems development. Every instruction has a significant cost associated to it. There are different memory spaces like a Harvard architecture (code, memory, storage, input, output, other peoples code). Like embedded systems, you need to be absolutely sure your code is correct before you deploy, as updates are impossible and a lot of economic value depends on correctness.

But contrary to embedded systems it has 256 bit registers, 256 bit address space and SHA3 as a cheap instruction. This means that if you pick a 'random' hash, you can safely assume it's free! Hashtables in Solidity are implemented like this.

Recently I've been doing some combined Solidity/EVM-assembly that I wrote about [here](https://medium.com/wicketh/mathemagic-chinese-remainder-theo...). I'll post more this month doing some advanced tricks in Solidity/EVM.
I expect that would depend on why only certain species can transmit human malaria. Yes if the reason is purely regional, but if there's something else (length of lifecycle, presence or absence of certain enzymes, ability to take blood from human) then there would have to be incredibly fast adaptation for malaria to survive.

The parasites don't survive equally well even within the species they inhabit.
