Svelte is the premise behind Sapper. If you want to use React, use Next; if you want to use Vue, use Nuxt; if you want that 7kb Hello World (instead of Next's 204kb or Nuxt's 175kb) then you have to adopt a more efficient approach.

We're not reinventing HTML, we're using HTML. And CSS.
('Reinventing HTML' is a far more fitting description of JSX, and then there's CSS-in-JS...)

Doing so is what allows us to statically analyse your app and compile it to a) a tiny client-side JS payload, and b) an incredibly efficient server-side renderer.

Do two people doing the same job, with the same skills and the same experience get paid differently because of their gender? Its something I've never seen in my professional life in the UK.

I've seen reports where men earn more if you take the entire working population in to account, but that seems more based on the jobs done rather then the respective genders.
Given how much information is classified, the minimum amount of secrets to do just about any job at the NSA is probably "lots of secrets" to most people.

To your attack point, when I was in the Marine Corps, one of my drill instructors said something to the effect of "You know why I joined the Marine Corps? Because it's one of the only jobs where you can legally kill a [expletive]." He didn't work in intelligence before coming to Parris Island but did have an active Secret clearance. Some people are just psychopaths and that doesn't necessarily preclude them from a security clearance. And there are plenty of folks who simply want to fight the enemies of $COUNTRY and aren't necessarily psychopaths because of it.
Up to £45k in central London? That's ... not tempting. Which is a shame since your company sounds interesting.
This needs a source because it is not true at all

>Zcash has more advanced crypto
> Pretty sure a top cryptographer or security expert should be worth several times that [~150K x several times]

On the other hand, I often wonder whether folks who are pulling in nearly a half million dollars in compensation in the private sector (as individual contributors) are really worth that much or if they're just benefiting from a relatively temporary windfall caused by scarcity in tech talent.

Keep in mind that government salaries still do come with decently good benefits and vastly more job security than start-ups. That is attractive to lots of people especially late in their careers. Cutting edge IT-related positions aside, non-cutting edge jobs in government do not face such stark competition with the private sector.
There is so much negativity about Tesla. Watching Tesla reminds of the the quote

"We hoped for flying cars, but what we got was 140 characters"

(or something similar, I don't remember it verbatim)

Every time I think about Tesla, I am reminded of the thousands of brilliant engineers toiling away in Silicon Valley trying to optimize online advertising. Maybe we could be a bit more closer to Fusion energy, maybe we could be a bit more closer to lesser carbon footprints. That small bit really is crucial, especially when we are fighting a losing battle with mother earth. Perhaps the world has too much information. When information flow is cheap, the cost of propaganda is low enough to create legitimate confusion. Imagine a world without Google, FB or Twitter, perhaps there would be concerted efforts by governments towards educating the masses about global warming. Perhaps such efforts could not be subverted by foreign governments or fringe groups. Looking back, the true value addition by SV will be companies like Tesla, Solar City & SpaceX.

Here is a guy who is scarily close to being a real-life Iron Man, doing something that has shown verifiable results and actually progresses humanity far more than FB/Twitter and to some extent Google.

But all I feel is constant negativity. I really feel sorry for Musk. I sincerely admire him for what he is struggling for and I really wish he'd get more support.

Note : I do understand his background and that the seed money for SpaceX was from paypal and all, but even then, paypal was a different business than just online ads.

>For the Model 3, the only true competitors are the i3 and Chevy Bolt

More like the Chevy Bolt / Opel Ampera e, the i3 has very limited range while the Chevy/Opel offers between 300 and 500km of range thanks to its much bigger 60kWh battery. The BMW i3 only has a 33kWh battery in the newer version, previous one was even less than that... The Leaf 2018 goes in the right direction, but 40kWh is still no enough to do 3h+ road trips.

Also, you make a very good point by saying that the Chevy Bolt/Opel Ampera E is a much better choice (ignoring the design). Same pricing as the Model 3 but the range seems much better. Given the experience of Chevy, I think that they can reduce the price and mass produce the Bolt much faster than Tesla can do with the model 3.
No. The ACA's profit cap (the "80/20 rule") requires that at least 80% of premiums taken in must be spent on actual medical care costs.
Evidently, the US could change the system to work better, but there's a general unwillingness to change it because it would mean they would have to compromise on taxation and captilist ideals, something they're unable to do, because there are cultural premises in their way.
Exactly. The government should represent the will of the people. Too often I see people argue from the point that government is intrinsically some alien entity they have no control over, but when that's the case, that just means your government is wrong. Government should represent the people, and any government that doesn't, needs to be fixed. (The US government certainly needs to be fixed.)
>> So, anything that uses a JIT, such as the LLVM JIT, is not "native"?

> Correct.

Oh, come on. You can't seriously believe this nonsense. A native C++ program embedding (for example, to parametrically specialize some constructs at run time) an LLVM JIT which is in C++ again is going to be as native as they come.

> I presume the core of Emacs is C. Ergo, native.

And that C++ program I mentioned isn't, according to you, even though most of Emacs is delivered in interpreted byte code form. And if Emacs stated JITting the bytecode, it would cease being native. You really seem to have some weird and/or inconsistent definitions.
Yes and the Denmark isn't doing any better than the US when it comes to that.

Losing international students is bad, but the cuts they claim are hardly draconian. Given the current environment (high change, bloated costs, online education) we should expect massive changes at non-flagship public schools.

Payroll is the number 1 expense for government agencies. Easier firing would make a world of difference. I think the root cause is pensions. When people are tied to pensions for a retirement, firing people becomes a much bigger deal. Just pay a match into a retirement account and then when people can go, they go. Private sector pensions are for the most part long gone. Why should public sector keep them.
>Please do try Fedora. You will find that the level of polish in Fedora today far exceeds that in Ubuntu.

Fedora's a bit wonky with some Asus laptops though. If Fedora is flawless with an XPS 13, I'd probably buy that.

- iio-sensor-proxy has a 90 degree offset by default, meaning that the display is rotated to portrait mode when the laptop is flat. This was the biggest problem IMO, but locking the rotation once fixes it for subsequent boots. Rotating the laptop to portrait puts the display in landscape mode, so iio-sensor-proxy is either reversing the orientation from the sensor or the sensor is reversed.

- There are wifi errors in the log when shutting down. Something about key removal, but has no impact when using

- Really odd ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@... pattern also when shutting down

- Boot takes 3-5 minutes with full disk encryption, but I have a mechanical drive

- dmesg had some other strange things in it, but I remember thinking "Is there any platform where boot results in no error messages? That would be nice". I'm sure Windows has similar things.
>> First off, the government will never contact you by phone.

You just answered your own question. If the only thing they cared about was the OPT, why would they pay $50k/year to attend a well-known university, when they can instead pay a fraction of that to attend a university no one knows about, and still get the OPT.
"To compromise" means "to weaken" or "to endanger", not "to make _a_ compromise". To make a compromise is an intentional act, but you can compromise (e.g. the security of) something by sloppiness. So yes, it is a different point.

(Yeah, I know, don't blame me. English _is_ weird.)

"Replacing carbohydrates (mainly refined starches and simple sugars) and saturated fats with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats lowered hemoglobin A1c and improved insulin resistance; polyunsaturated fats were also noted to improve insulin secretion. The authors concluded that in comparison to carbohydrates and saturated fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats had the most favorable effect on glycemia, insulin resistance, and secretion. In terms of foods, these findings support consumption of vegetable fats (e.g., nuts, avocados, olives) in place of animal fats and refined grains."
Generally speaking, you'll do pretty well with Thinkpads and Fedora. Thinkpads are Red Hat's standard company laptops so a lot of the configurations are pretty thoroughly vetted and tested.

I loaded Fedora 26 and 27 on my new X270 and things went flawlessly. I won't say there are never any issues but it's pretty plug and play these days.

Evolution is also an optimization engine. Living creatures are not over-engineered because doing so requires additional resources, and resources are limited. Creatures that are not over-engineered are "fitter".

For example: during a famine, perhaps a growing child with "normal" bones is much more likely to survive than a steel-boned counterpart who is unable to find the required extra iron ore and energy needed to grow.
I think it's kind of sad that Sony's attention to detail and their status as a premium brand has been fading in recent decades. There are few product categories these days where Sony really is state of the art, although it seems as if they're trying to position themselves as premium manufacturer again (audio players, projectors come to mind) - a development I welcome, as I think there's room for brands in consumer electronics that work with the care of a small shop but can manufacture on a large scale.

edit: As other commenters pointed out there are some rather obvious categories I seem to have missed, including cameras and gaming consoles.
I'm not so interested in what bones are made of - I've never broken one. However, I'd love it if my joints could be replaced with something less awful.

Pervasive Monitoring Is an Attack
It's always been my sincere opinion that even if Musk fails miserably I'll still admire him more than most other "tech idols". There are people that say he's all talk, but I don't care. Even if he's 75% talk and delivers on the rest, whatever he does achieve is still better than a face-detecting smartphone or a social network that makes money by profiling your personality for advertisers. I don't care about the money, I like his vision and in the end that's what makes a leader.
How often do you encounter people with exactly identical skills and experience?

For that matter, how often do you know what your colleagues get paid? I'm used to environments where everyone is paid differently for essentially arbitrary reasons.
In regards to bitcoin I believe he is correct. About 97% of the activity appears to be people on exchanges:

https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4122695-bitcoin-series-...

This mainly appears to be due to transaction times and high fees.

I’d be interested to see a similar analysis for monero but that’s probably not easily doable due to its privacy features.

The negativity is because Tesla has some truly abhorrent business practices. For me, it's out of love, not hate. Of course, there's a lot of people who stand to gain from Tesla failing.

The EHR mandates were very loose and had long deadlines. Hospitals had plenty of time to buy or build whatever they wanted. But it would be ridiculous for almost any hospital to develop something in house; they don't have the engineering resources or a core competency in software development, and it would be a huge duplication in efforts. Some hospital administrators like to think their institutions are unique and special snowflakes, but the reality is that most of them are the same and would operate more efficiently with standardized tools and processes instead of something customized.

While a single hospital might be able to operate reasonably well without an EHR that's just no longer sustainable in the broader healthcare ecosystem. Hospitals can't be islands. They have to be able to share data with payers, public health agencies, other hospitals, outpatient clinics, researchers, etc. Doing that requires an EHR now.
Connection timed out for me.

Same as with the open source projects, yet they exist. In case of loosely associated syndicates, there's the incentive of guaranteed uptime and availability. Of course, it'll require a more selfless criminal which is an oxymoron.

As far as I can tell, you can't have hidden unit 1 inactive, while hidden unit 2 is active (as shown in Figure 1c)

Also, I can't see how we can make a matrix multiplication that maps

(0,1) -> 0
(1,0) -> 0
(1,1) -> 1

without adding a bias term. At least the weights shown in figure 1 are way off.
> For the Model 3, the only true competitors are the i3 and Chevy Bolt. ... My guess is that the 2018 Nissan Leaf will be the best choice this year...

The Nissan Leaf isn't new in 2018, it's been around since 2011 and is (I think) still the most popular pure electric car. I'm aware that the 2018 should have some significant improvements, but I'm confused why you don't count either the current models or the 2018 as a competitor to the Model 3?

+1 to the latest fedora on Dell XPS 13.
I use a Mac for work(paid for my employer) and my Dell for my side projects and side businesses. I bought my Skylake Dell XPS 13 on a crazy deal, and swapped a intel wifi card for the default broadcom card that came with it, and everything is super smooth with Fedora+GNOME3+Wayland. Basic desktop just works.

I do hate that I cant get fractional scaling (yet) with GNOME. Other than that, things are how you expect them to be.

If the workaround being deployed now causes a 30% performance hit in real world usage, even just for some cases, it could hit Intel way harder than fdiv.

A lot of people on Intel will suddenly lose a noticeable amount of performance. Conversely, if your Intel based VMs lose 25% performance, you are now booting up and paying for 20% more VMs for the same load.
The ACA requires the somewhat perversely called Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) to be at least 80% (and 85% for large group plans). The MLR is the percentage of revenues from insurance premiums that are being used on actual healthcare benefits (and thus can't go towards profits, hence the name). Corporate helicopters don't increase the MLR and reduce profits.
Majestic – graphical UI for jest
To be honest, I have never seen rates so high in Prague either. Very good offer for me would be 42 USD/hour for longer term project, 35 being more standard (yet still good). I currently live outside of Prague (regional city) and salary of employed developer (I know, not fair comparison) here are less than 14 USD/hour. Actually when I claimed I would not work for that much, I was told everyone wished for that kind of salary.

I should really look into what is to be known to get 100 USD/hour for medium term projects in Prague. I would be able to live from 2 to 3 month project for full year.
It's interesting what would be the equivalent result for Chevrolet Bolt, as it's pretty much an equivalent car, but without the advantage of Tesla's supercharger network.
