I was trying to explain why buying expensive nutritious coffee compared to buying road-side chai stalls, specifically the people who can afford the former but chose the later thanks to the conservative nature, can improve health, in turn, living conditions.

That said, I'm not saying Starbucks is making us better. But a chai chain, nutritious chai stalls, is long pending for India. It's not dangerous, but we are better off choosing the expensive chai in the long run, in my opinion.
I've been watching this for a while. I think it's great but afraid it might be another piece of barely enforceable employment law.

It did however have a pretty strong military presence...

The ground communications network for the Air Force DSP satellite program (boost phase missile warning) was built with 80186 processors. The hub routers were multi-processor systems with six 80186's or five 80186's and a 80386.

These systems were used to provide early warning of SCUD missile attacks during the first Gulf War. They were installed in 1988 and decommissioned in 2005.

One of the many aims of US monetary policy is that USD doesn't lose too much purchasing power too suddenly (eg no unexpected hyperinflation). Of course any currency from a decent country would aim for this kind of soft peg.

The question isn't whether something could exist that's smarter than every human

The question is whether something could exist that's smarter than every group of humans is

Humans are social, so the social group, and in fact groups of social groups are the highest form of intelligence on the planet. That's the bar to beat, not an individual Homo Sapiens in a observation room.
I think my example would still apply?

You are better off opting the expensive coffee with the alternative options for lactose intolerant people (soy milk etc.) when compared to buying milk from the road-side stalls (right?)

I have been having coffee almost daily for the past three years and I see a significant improvement in my bones and joints. I can feel it and pointed out by the doctor. Note, I take the coffee with whole milk and not the half-and-half or other kind.

So I would guess it does affect in the long run? Personally it did for me. Not sure at a Macro level.
North Korea now has ICBMs and nuclear weapons. This just shows what a committed state can achieve once it has it's priorities in order.

In India the classes are just looking out for themselves and keep looting each other when they have the opportunity to do so.

Take Bangalore now. The congress government here, has been openly siphoning money from the treasury for election funds or whatever. Now the state elections are going to be held in a few months, they are repairing roads, paying municipal workers and doing things they should have been doing throughout their term.

Now people here take exception to some European/American saying, why the hell does India have a space program etc when you have so many basic problems to fix. I take offense to that as well. Mainly because saving a small amount of money on that isn't automatically going to uplift hundreds of millions of impoverished Indians. It's hardly a drop in the bucket. Also because so many young people here graduate with engineering degrees, and they need something to look forward to.

The problem is that the people in charge realize that organizations like ISRO have to be shielded from the very system they govern and nurtured. They are OK with the same system perpetuating itself and hamstringing everything else. And it's not in their list of priorities to stop and reform this.

We blame Britain because it's easier to have scapegoats, it's much harder to acknowledge failure and actually fix the problems.
I generally like 2 backups of my data (one each on and offsite), and one bootable backup of my system drive for quick disaster recovery.

Which specific options to use for each depends on many factors (budget, OSs, how often you're connected to a lan etc), but I've been very happy with Backblaze for offsite. It's unfussy, relatively cheap, and I've found it ultra reliable.

My current onsite solution (for a macbook) is Carbon Copy Cloner over ethernet to a Raspberry Pi with a large external HD. I also use CCC for my disaster recovery backup (to a local SSD over USB).

It's not even technically attainable for USD. If China places huge market orders for a basket of commodities with USD, USD would lose purchasing power wrt the basket for a short amount of time (I think a few seconds is possible).
I think she’s a good person and the way she was treated by pretty much everyone from Wikileaks to Adrian lamo to the media and the military and court system was horrific.

But none of that qualifies her for public office and I think it’s a mistake for her to run. If she even comes close to winning, she’s going to be raked over the coals again by her opponents and the media.

Peaceful and systematic replacement is not the same phenomenon as overthrow.
> Traditional Indian food is often very rich, with liberal use of oil and ghee. Deep-fried snacks like pakora, samosa and aloo tikki are widely popular. Indian sweets like jalebi, laddu and gulab jamun are staggeringly calorific. With rising incomes, a far wider section of society is able to eat plentifully.

While these are commonly found in some major cities in India, all of the items you mentioned are limited to specific regions of the country and few are traditionally Indian. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I think it's important to keep in mind the timeline of these foods in India when considering recent trends in health.

The shocking thing to me is that this is the side that won. This is what victory looks like, even when the other side doesn't have nukes.
I completely agree. You make a good point! It's definitely a novely.

In my programs, I never took lines of code as a restriction. Since if you have a compiled program, the binary size tends to depend mostly on the compiler. I'm more focused on other restrictions, such as memory usage, etc.

I think the very fact that there are 'dozens' is part of the problem. Avid or consistent note-takers (like me!) are getting tired of having their notes stranded on platforms that go out of business, or go stale, or turn in directions the user doesn't like. There are usually export functions available, but they nearly always lack fidelity somewhere (metadata, or notebook structure, etc).

For this reason, having used many different systems over the years, I won't ever again use an online notes-island not under my control. I think this is why when this comes up, so many people respond with "markdown!", "org-mode!" etc. These can be invested in without the stranding risk.
So neat. I was working on this exact thing at this exact time too. The massive draw for me was working with some companies that have a reliance on PC and PC/XT workstations with tight hardware resources and needing a simple way to swap out machines. Things like KM4821U memory (and several compatibles) are becoming harder to come by.

I'd love to merge some of my work in if I can find some spots. I truly believe that simply getting a new piece of compatible hardware is just as good as the option of upgrading your software and hardware. Just because we're all on 64-bit platforms doesn't mean that the shop down the street using needs to use it for their POS' either.

Also of tangential relation to this, but my old IBM PC with a 80186 a few years ago finally lost its 6V Lithium battery. I called IBM at that time, referenced 8286121 as the IBM replacement number on the front, and for a bit of money, they sent me a new-old-stock one. I was really blown away.
If he's learned.

Therein is a key responsibility of the manager: if they've learned, you're 100% right. If they haven't, don't care, don't get it or whatever, then you also need to take responsibility & replace that person.
6 miles a day plus lifting.

One of the most motivating factors I found for me was to read about tech while between sets and to turn on EE380 and other talks when running.

It fixes two things in one go:

1. Keeping up with tech news in general (not TechCrunch mind you, but ISSCC and EE380 type).

2. Keeping my fitness and energy levels up. I found through tracking my productivity that 7 miles and lifting gives me lowest # of bugs. Not enough time to run 7, so 6 it is.

I can't believe you are serious, you cannot just make such wild claims without any evidence.

Why don't you do an experiment, cut coffee from your diet while keeping your rest of the diet same with moderate exercise. I guarantee you there wont be any significant degradation in your bones.

Funny, because in my country an euphemism for "going to prison" is "going to university" (thieving & violence university that is) where they meet all those advanced practitioners of the art.
The draw that this one gives me over the Zet processor (which btw is great and I've used it here and there in the past), is that Zet is not really maintained anymore. It's not a moving target, that's completely true, but S80x86 has the potential to hopefully do some neat things with 286's and 386's as well.

But for anybody looking for a quick-n-dirty deploy to a board solution, the Zet is fantastic and solid.

Also, if he was able to do something in error, that means the system is designed wrong. It's a process problem. You cannot fire this one guy and expect this to not happen again.
SIGKILL is never received by an application, I believe SIGSTOP isn't either. Both of them are calls to the kernel for managing a process, and SIGKILL should be reserved for extrenuating circumstances (an application won't quit normally...). SIGKILL gives no application a chance to clean itself up, shell script or no.

While I don’t doubt that many people in the US do hold that view, it’s worth noting that that such an application isn’t even remotely similar to how predestination works in any kind of Protestant theology...

Both Armenian and Calvinist views operate in the context of the doctrine of total depravity, which can be best summarised as “no one is good except God alone” (Mk 10:18). Under this framework, a Calvinist view should actually lead to increased humility (not superiority over others), because not only is grace and salvation completely undeserved, it is given in spite of a total inability to choose it of ones own accord, and a propensity to try and do the opposite.

Secondly, predestination almost entirely refers to final judgement by God alone, so to conflate a human justice system with that is a grave theological error. Especially a justice system as flawed and ineffective as the one in the United States.

Sorry to be a bore, but does the brain of the flatworm have the same functions as that of the vertebrates? If an octopus, for example, has a "decentralised nervous system", I would not be surprised if it were the case with the worms.
Statistics Report and a Freebie
I agree that the odds of "society" dissolving are very small. However, the penalty for encountering a blizzard without preparation -- maybe not having enough food to eat full meals for, say, a week -- is FAR lower than then penalty for encountering armageddon without preparation. I'm not saying you're wrong, but if the fall of civilization is 1,000 times less likely, and the consequences are 1,000 times worse, the calculus gets a little more complex.
That's true. However, I was more or less implying ex-addicts who had been clean, had completed their sentences and were honestly looking to get on with a life, at one time interrupted by bad choices.
These allegations are part of a suit filed on behalf of fired Google engineer James Damore that seeks to represent white males and conservatives who feel as if they've been the target of discrimination.

I don't agree. The blockchain enables a type of authoritarianism that I support, open data authoritaianism. Sort of like the linux kernel or open source software, but for the data. If I don't agree with the leader, I'm free to fork the ledger and build support for a new leader. Just imagine if we had this tyoe of power over facebooks "ledger", how much easier would be able to hold a check on the centralization of power as a user. I don't mind authoritarianism as long as I have the real control to take the data and elect new leadership at any time.
For the duration of the campaign, maybe, and then only if Manning is an actual electoral threat and people agree with the positions she has on important issues.
Funnily enough I spent a year or two in rural Australia on satellite Internet and I definitely see your point. I think it's okay for a site to offer an AMP capable site, I just don't think it should factor into the ranking. Perhaps there could be a Prefer AMP pages flag? Or the inverse, ignore Page Speed. I will concede that the majority of users probably get by with page speed as a factor and that my concerns are not those of the general user base.

As an aside, gaming on satellite internet was a real drag, the only game I had that would handle the full seconds of latency was Star Wars Galaxies. Thankfully that was already a favorite.

It's hard to avoid talking about politics when a particular viewpoint is forced upon you by your manager, along with the stated expectation that you will publicly (not just professionally, during work hours or among colleagues) conform to their own viewpoint.
Does it only work on desktop browsers?
True. But for those of us who work with JSON APIs more-often-than-not it's very good. Being able to simply pipe in a file as a payload saves me a lot of time.

I know cURL does 1001 other things too, so the two tools aren't really in competition. HTTPie is more akin to Postman or Insomnia.
Is this based on experience..? I would disagree..

The pipeline is powerful, but it's slow. There's a meaningful performance gain I've seen with foreach(), and even more so when loops need to be nested. I believe the speed increase is because the runtime/clr/jit can infer the types contained within the collection before it actually starts executing the statement. yes, using generic collections with foreach helps as well, because (i think) powershell can completely avoid redetermining what every type of object is at execution time (as the collection is generic underneath).

The downside is readability and memory usage as you pointed out, but i could argue that piping to foreach-object can also be painful to read, and many times the loop could be refactored into a proper function and given a meaningful name....
We have three different different AD domains - one on prem (well at colo center) and two separate AWS environments. Getting them to be friendly with each other isn't possible. Since the local VSTS agents poll and only need outbound connections, I don't have to deal with firewall issues or domain issues. Also, I can run a script in parallel across as many agents as I want to. You can have as many concurrent agents running on a VSTS account as you have MSDN licenses.

Besides, I already have sane deployment groups and tags defined by server environment and function. I might as well leverage them.

I don't think that's how humans work. We know that bombing is awful, but we also "know" that the people we are bombing are the enemy and deserve to be blown up.

> There are more Americans incarcerated per capita than in any other Westernized country on earth... With well over two million Americans behind bars, and even with more prisons being built literally every day...

This is madness. Period. Something is being done fundamentally wrong and going catastrophically too far. Simply building more prisons is not a solution.

And the fact the convicts are not given vitamins and other essential nutrients supplements has always seemed ridiculous and outrageous to me. Simply terminating them could be more humane than keeping them junk-fed letting their bodies and brains decay freely, taking not just their freedom but also their health (including mental health) away from them. This is not a way you can cure people from their behaviour disorders.

> Average USA cost to keep one inmate locked up for a year: $31,000

By the way, any person that would earn this much a year is considered rich in Eastern Europe and Russia, the majority of people there live on less than $1000/month and those of them who care about health still get all the vitamin/mineral/aminoacid supplements and sound healthcare they need (+ education, sport, yoga/minfulness classes, entertainment, travelling, living etc) . Needless to say almost none of the people who earn $1000/month or more are prone to commit felony there (unless they drink a way too much booze), they just live happily usually as they have everything they need, feel safe and satisfied. This suggests that just giving the $31,000 or less to a man will probably do much better for him and the society than spending it on keeping him in the dreadful conditions described in the article. This reminds me of the idea of basic income again...
> But there are certain jobs where the job is to get it right 100% of the time.

No there aren't. There are certain activities that must be always correct, you implement those by making a reliable system out of unreliable jobs, not by making the people 100% reliable.
Maryland is home to a huge number of defense and intelligence workers.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the headline, it's like that common line thrown at stand-up comedians (note: This is not me calling Chelsea Manning a 'joke' or making light of her situation and what she went through): know your room. That constituency does NOT seem like one that will vote for this particular candidate.

Nonetheless, I commend her willingness to step up to the plate, I can see a lot of valuable conversations coming out of the race.
I’d love to see a proof of concept of a network that generates the bootstrap front-end and connects a backend. Bonus, if the model applies attention to visualize the focus on the front-end markup as it builds the back-end.
'Cosmos' Renewed for Season 2 (Neil DeGrasse Tyson Returning)
Poll: Are you paying taxes on cryptocoin taxes this year?
In the US the IRS will tax trades from cryptocoins to fiat this past year as a capital gain. Hodl < 1year = short term and hodl > 1year = long term gain.

Moving forward the IRS will likely be taxing coin to coin trades as a capital gain as well. Though the capital gain rate varies by the traders tax bracket the max rates are: short = 39% and long = 20%.
