>> So besides the loss in basic research

> Yeah, the problem is that they don't cut admin first.

Your basic value proposition is that admin is less important than basic research and that's getting cut.

In the article, it mainly that music, swimming, newspapers, and languages get cut. It says that they had to make cutbacks in CS but don't specify what the college did exactly.

As far as I know, there is no basic research going on in music, swimming, newspapers, and languages. CS definitely basic research, but that was glossed over. Any sort of professor who could be somewhat replaced with an adjunct is not able to perform basic research.

Funny. The biggest input for the law was from large companies like the insurance companies, large hospital systems, and other cronies. And it shows.
There are quite many competing services that focus exclusively on iOS and Android (nevercode.io, bitrise.io and others). Buddybuild wouldn't have sold to Apple if they saw that there's still more untapped opportunity in this space. It's a crowded market.. (disclaimer: I'm the former CEO of Greenhouse CI)

Ah, the Just World Hypothesis. "Something bad happens, you must've screwed up somehow. Just look at me, I'm doing fine and I instinctively know that random good-luck had nothing to do with it."
Agreed. There are around 80,000 medical students in any given year in the US. Assume that all of them pay $50,000 per year in tuition. That's maybe $4b per year. The costs of health insurance, diagnostic testing, pharmaceuticals, etc more than eclipse that number.
I do not understand why insurance companies are not able to or do not wish to exert downward pressure on prices?

It seems self-contradictory to me. How can Intel warrant that

while simultaneously disclaiming warranty for

If an instruction does something different than what their specs say on occasion, do they take that to mean it's substantially conforming to their specs?
Thanks for the response. For most people I'd agree with you. I found my RSI symptoms were significantly improved by switching to Dvorak though. I concede that is not a scientific test :)

'Nobody else is this incompetent.'

Here in the UK we have 'free' healthcare and the system is equally incompetent.
Seeing as how it mostly dealt with the book, I'd say it was more the latter.
But note that that those benchmarks pretty much are the worst case for PTI. Each of the queries is either near trivial (single pkey lookup) or the most trivial (SELECT 1), therefore the send/recv syscalls to/from the clients are taking the most time. If you instead have queries that do a bit more actual work this'd look very different.
I wish everyone downvoting you would at least state their problem with your post
Well, this might be a very unpopular opinion, but if generating wealth correlates to intelligence and ability, and these traits are transmissible to children (either genetically, or through practices that parents teach to their children, or through higher educational investment), then you would expect a positive correlation between ability and amount of parental wealth.

This above argument could easily be wrong, but assuming that inherited wealth reveals nothing about ability on average seems like a rather strong claim.

Whether it's fair that parents can try to give their children an advantage, of course, is a totally separate question.
From your blog post[0]:

> In this[1] study, over 60 percent of respondents said they have "NOT purchased something because trust logos were not present."

The study (which looks quite sketchy to me, but okay) also says that 75 % of people have "NOT purchased a product or completed an online purchase process because they did not recognize the trust logo".

So… why should stores choose Trustocity (or other new service) of all these ugly logos?

Seems like a bad example. All board certified cardiothoracic surgeons have to report their mortality rates from procedures (there are problems with that, but one could easily look this up). Not to mention most work for a hospital and therefore have a fixed salary. On top of this, most healthcare consumers in America are directed by their insurance provider as to who they can even go to for these sort of procedures.
It's hard to contain costs when there is no transparency regarding them.

Just try to figure out the price of a medical procedure. The prices of procedures vary depending on who you are.

Having the need to get a particular type of MRI every few years, I call around looking for 1) the equipment the facility has to do the MRI, and 2) the cost. It's hard enough to get #1 (there's a large disparity in quality of MRI based on equipment). #2 is practically impossible to get, and has no correlation to the equipment quality.

If providers were required to be fully transparent on pricing, and provide the same price to all, then you might see cost containment.
Because their benefits are mainly indexed on the cost.
Because a large single payer fixes prices for most people.
All three of the definitions you provided will work fine.

Now that Spotify exists, and can afford royalties, all innovation must be done by Spotify, and a select few other incumbents; who are all more likely to favor stability. To do as Spotify did originally (P2P file streaming) is illegal.

Section 1201 of the DMCA prevents lawful security research on anything that includes any form of DRM, making the world less secure, making actors less trustworthy, and seriously degrading privacy.

It is law that I adamantly disagree with for very real reasons. I am sharing my disagreement with anyone who will listen, and hoping for change. That is not a slippery slope to anarchy: it is democracy.
I feel like there is a customer acquisition bubble, where companies pay $1000 to acquire $500 customers and convince investors that they are worth $2000 and use that to get ever more funding which is used for bonuses and acquiring even more customers.

If that's true then the marketing genius isn't selling the card to customers. The marketing genius is selling the card to investors.
No, its the other way round : Kidneys let glucose through into the filtrate, but have a limited capacity of glucose reabsorption. In case of diabetes melleitus you "saturate" the pumps, hence the resulting glycosuria.
> For example, if you have a multi-pom project with a parent pom (not unusual in a medium-sized codebase, never mind large), and you have unit tests in your child poms, they'll get executed with dependencies resolved locally for that child pom, and not with the global dependency resolution that satisfies all constraints that need satisfying at the parent level.

As it should, otherwise you'd get the even more hilarious situation where your tests pass when you run the single-module build but fail when you run the multi-module build.

> The "solution" is to pin your versions using dependencyManagement, but that's no real solution at all, not least because it's neither automatic (though dependency convergance using Maven Enforcer helps, and I've developed some scripts that help further) nor is there an easy route forward when you want to bump versions safely.

This is not a maven issue, it's a combination of Java's flat classpath and the reality of diamond dependencies on versioned libraries in any system. We could allow multiple versions of a transitive dependency on the classpath but then you get Rust's hilarious "expected Foo but was Foo" type errors. Java 9 modularisation should reduce the problem by allowing modules to have explicitly private dependencies, but the problem exists everywhere.
Isn't it rather: keep throwing politics at something until "it works"?

> Yeah, but if you wanted to sell $1M worth of coins you'd probably use an auction at Gemini or elsewhere so you don't move through more than 2 or 3 price levels of the book.

Selling $1m worth of bitcoins on GDAX, Bitstamp and Bitfinex results in a slippage of 0.2864%, 0.3527%, and 0.2910%, respectively.

As far as I can gather from Gemini's fee schedule[1], they take a >0.40% fee even if you've traded for more than $10m in the past 30 days, so I'm not sure it's worth it for a $1m market sell.

> You could make the same argument for Gold or Platinum being over valued based on slippage from open interest at a point in time.

I disagree. I'm not arguing that anything is over-valued. Simply that market cap as a measure of value of commodities does not make sense, because of the great difference in marginal utility between them.

> But, if you need to do something different, or have some rare use case Maven's designers weren't focused on, you start struggling a lot to get Maven to do what you want.

You'll be fine as long as you realise the Maven-ey way of doing the thing is to write your own plugin.

But most of the time people just want their build to do something different for no real reason, IME.

On the linkability of Zcash transactions
- Jeffrey Quesnelle

Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin with optional anonymity features. While transparent transactions are fully linkable, shielded transactions use zero-knowledge proofs to obscure the parties and amounts of the transactions. First, we observe various metrics regarding the usage of shielded addresses. Moreover, we show that most coins sent to shielded addresses are later sent back to transparent addresses. We then search for round-trip transactions, where the same, or nearly the same number of coins are sent from a transparent address, to a shielded address, and back again to a transparent address. We argue that such behavior exhibits high linkability, especially when they occur nearby temporally. Using this heuristic our analysis matched 31.5% of all coins sent to shielded addresses.

They don’t seem shy about laying the blame where they feel it belongs.
The US isn’t even in the top 10 for military spending as a percentage of GDP.
You way underestimate IBM sales staff.

The real problem is that Watson doesn't work, and health care providers spent millions on it which could have gone to real, actual research.

I think the US could easily solve this if they wanted to, but from my (Dutch) point of view:

- The US is philosophically much more egotistic than other developed countries

- Politically the US is the most divided western country with its two party system

- Money in politics means it's one of the most corrupt, preventing solutions that could serve its citizens

- Conservative media does a very good job at keeping at least 50% of the country comically uninformed

- The "American Dream" gives people the impression that working hard solves everything and that their country is the best in the world period

- Religion is not focussed on empathy at all anymore, if it ever was

The billionare .0001% will probably do their utmost to keep the status quo, as evidently, they are the ones that are profiting from the current situation and they are the ones calling the shots for the next 3 years.

The US is doing very good in a lot of areas, but I think collective egotism is preventing it from reaching its true potential.
I'm no lawyer, but my instincts tell me someone would have to prove that the chips today do not conform to Intel's specs, and that this difference is such that the CPU no longer "substantially conforms" to the spec.

> If an instruction does something different than what their specs say on occasion, do they take that to mean it's substantially conforming to their specs?

We're on the same page. What do you think Intel will argue?

Keep in mind Intel did initiate a substantial recall of Pentium CPUs in the late 90s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug
> the American university system has a distinct political agenda that is opposed to the interests of the Trump-supporting half of the American electorate.

The ideological conservative movement repeats this claim, but it doesn't make it so. Can you substantiate it? Can you define what it means?

Like any ideological movement, there can be no debate or discussion; anyone who fails to drink the kool-ade and promote the ideology must be silenced. It can't be that the facts simply are inconvenient to the ideology, that reasonable people can disagree, or that a member of the movement could learn something. The ideology is correct and those who don't accept it are apostates.

They'd done that with climate scientists, journalists, the entire State Department, universities, and more.
> or even OpenGLs immediate mode (which does one syscall per emitted vertex, in worst case)

Perhaps with drivers written in the 90s for hardware from the 90s. Any OpenGL implementation worth its salt will buffer those requests on the client side until they need to be observed. Indeed this was a big feature in the heyday of DirectX 9 where D3D programmers had to count the drawcalls whereas with OpenGL you have way more leeway with calls since the driver tends to be smarter and caches that stuff.

In theory with a modern driver using OpenGL's immediate mode API shouldn't need any more syscalls than building the vertex buffers in your program, setting up the necessary state and issuing a buffer draw command.

The only time where you'd need a syscall per emitted vertex would be if the GPU had OpenGL-like commands and your OpenGL implementation was a thin wrapper over that. I think one of ATI's very early GPUs worked like that (although the commands were per primitive, not per vertex).
That's an interesting choice of rules. When cutting down the complexity so drastically, do you really need to double the length of your regex just to enforce the rule that dashes only appear in the middle of a domain segment? This version is so much more legible:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,63}(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,63})*$/

Hostnames starting or ending with dashes tend to work in the real world anyway.
Exactly. That's why you normally don't call refcounting a GC, as it writes to objects on referencing, and thereby destroys COW. With Perl it's even more stupid, they write to the const strings also, not just the refcount. And still call it COW.

I call it write on assign, WOA. A normal GC leaves it alone and does not force fresh memory maps for these.

You aren't spending nearly as much as Americans and for that money you treat everyone.

Are large organisation inefficient? Yes. Is it frustration when you look at it? Yes. Does this mean the US situation where they are spending 3 to 5 times as much to provide the same level of care to only a part of the population, is objectively worse than the UK situation? Yes.

(I removed the quoted line, because the tone of voice is suboptimal - but it doesn't change the argument)
The funny thing is that, per capita, many european countries has more billionaires than the US. That's saying something about "The American Dream" imo.

What I meant is that the billionaires maybe doesn't need to uphold the status quo?
My private conspiracy theory (which I don't believe in really): One of the USA Inteligence services knows exactly where the plan splashed down (either due underwater acoustic monitoring ala K-129 submarine, or through satellite monitoring) They can't reveal that information, because that would hint at their capabilities and methods, so they let the information 'slip' to an underwater search company. They 'boldly' go searching and in due course stumble upon the plane. They know their cost is bounded because of the tip-off, and they really do search, just maybe select a pattern which will be more 'lucky' then other possible patterns could be.

I have the opposite perception about this in the US: government jobs seem to be 'butt at desk 9-5' where private sector provides the opportunity for flexibility.

Good luck explaining to a random vendor what the problem is though. They also need to verify that the problem exists and most of them won't have a clue what you're talking about, they'll just turn the computer on and notice that it's working.

If you're a company buying from more qualified vendors then it might be a different story, however at that point consumer law does not apply to you.

Hmm what do you mean by results here? Like winning more wars? You can’t really compare two different wars. I don’t think it’d be crazy to say instead that the US can indeed project as much power as the next 15 spending countries, so results are proportional.

Which chip to get depends on your usecase.

If you absolutely need the best single core performance you can, Intel is the way forward.

If multicore performance is important (lots of multitasking, lots of heavy processes running) then one of the 8 core Ryzen 7's will be better, for cheaper.

As far as i know, even though it was the hype at the time, angular 1's traction was not quite that of react's. All of the FB family (messenger, instagram, fb etc), including the apps are on it.

"It'll change one" -> "it'll change once"

It took me 15+ seconds to make this correction and parse the last sentence, here's it so that you don't have to spend them.
I don't think so, because you might agree more easily with "other people" on several issues and therefore switch more easily to another party.
In a five party system, it is quite common for voters to not feel too much allegiance to any party in particular.
The list is an example, the cheapest one to make it understandable. Let it be 2000, or 100, filtered and pre-processed. It would still take longer than the 15 the user actually sees. The point isn't the list, but the primitive.

I don't even know where the scepticism comes from, culling and priotization is normal on the desktop. You've been offloading UI related tasks that could interrupt animations or interactions in C# forever - it is a great tool to have and getting it for the web is a major step. Microbenchmarks that measure baseline deletes/adds/changes will simply not result in apps that feel native. Thinking framework xyz will just feel acceptable to mobile users because Krausest says it takes 1ms less adding 100.000 rows, that is just silly.
