Most people here seem to be in denial about the kind of life that awaits.

As I read the article, I tried to imagine such a scenario. I guess most of the time "it all works out", and the hope is that it will this time, too. OTOH, only 54% of residents are hitting the 87 liters/day target, according to the article. First off, I'm surprised that the taps don't just go dry after 87 liters; perhaps the tech isn't there. Regardless, if barely half are hitting the target, I guess plenty just aren't taking it seriously, as you point out. Wishful thinking, denial, or unwarranted optimism, I don't know.

I hesitate to raise a hot-button topic, but I wonder how many parallels there are to climate change. Wishing, denying, or hoping? Again, I don't know the minds of others. But if someone can got to the local reservoir, look with their own eyes and see that, indeed, Cape Town is running out of water, and then almost half the residents still don't cut back to the suggested level, I don't hold much hope for more global issues.

I suppose we’ll find a way to manage.

See, I'm torn. I hope you find a way to manage (rain, desalination, hopefully something comes online soon), but somehow the ones still watering their lawns have to go with parched throats and dirty clothes for a while to drive the point home.
Lockup period means this ICO will behave differently than some of the other coins that have come out recently, and there's no way to tell what the market (or regulatory atmosphere) will be like in 6-18 month. It's speculation, just like all the other ICOs, but at least Telegram is a viable platform with a good use case for the coin.
I definitely hope we invent something better than vaguely defined PGMs that are a nightmare to get right and usable.
What did you move to?
You could take that 1k per month and buy crack. That's what he's trying to say.
If you're just there to "look around" and don't already know exactly what you are expecting to find then you shouldn't have been given the warrant to begin with. This is a criminal investigation, not a fishing expedition.
I have experienced this and it is one of the main reasons I still keep an imap client set up. There are certain emails I need to be able to find and gmail does not find them. Claws Mail does. Personally this is a minor annoyance with personal email, but I would hope their commercial offering does not have this behaviour.

Another really interesting thing I've noticed in gmail relating to search is that the number of matches for a given search is approximate, which makes perfect sense if they're using some kind of probabilistic data structure. However, when the correct number of matching emails does become known, because you have gone to the end, the result is not cached even client side. This gives a weird effect when combined with pagination: you go back a page, and the number of matches changes to the estimate again despite the fact the actual number is now known.
I wouldn’t do that if the practice was taking place in my jurisdiction. Interference with a search warrant is not good for an individual.
Mmmm, securities fraud. Did Telegram just officially say that their token will go up from $0.80 to $50? Or is Facebook allowing scammers to create fake official pages?

(On another note, ICO pricing around $1 seems like it will inevitably trigger the "I can't even afford one coin" effect. Pricing the ICO around one cent (with 100x more coins outstanding, of course) would give more breathing room.)
> Then there's not much point to using Gmail.

Almost there...
I've done essentially the opposite ... I use DuckDuckGo as my everyday search engine and only use Google when there's not an acceptable result there. Over the last couple of years, the number of times per week that I switch to Google has probably halved.
Sorry, my comment was badly-worded. I was thinking about older systems having 16-bit memory spaces, into which all IO is mapped (including the cartridge). So all but the absolute simplest games would need bank-switching hardware.

Looking at the Genesis and SNES, each exposes a 24-bit address bus. I was speculating that the increased area would be enough that bank switching wouldn't be necessary (the largest SNES game seems to be around 48Mbit, right? A little over a third of the CPU's memory, although I haven't looked up where the cartridge data's window is usually mapped).

Of course, there's the added fun of external coprocessors and such.
I switched a project over from Leaflet to Mapbox GL JS for the better-integrated vector tile support and better mobile rendering performance. Raster tiles still have value, but I wouldn't call vector tiles "new"; they're mature enough that they should start phasing raster tiles out, especially for projects that need a wide range of zoom levels, tight bandwidth requirements, or a lot of flexible, overlapping, and/or dynamic layers.

Thanks to tools like Maputnik, tippecanoe, and TileServer GL, I also had no problems using Mapbox GL and vector tiles without once touching a Mapbox service.

I still use Leaflet for most raster and simple vector maps simply because it is light and modular enough that I can get what I want, but the open source tools are there to reap the good stuff from Mapbox GL while avoiding the proprietary bits of Mapbox.

As an American working in healthcare tech: it is absolutely barbaric.

Mostly off topic, but has anybody been able to get hot reload working with TypeScript and React Native? I’m not sure if I screwed something up along the way in my set up when I made the switch about 8 months ago, but I feel like hot reload worked for a bit, and then stopped. Or maybe, my memory is just overlapping between having hot reload with plain JS and not at all with TypeScript
I think he meant the part where you called Mongo "traditional" as your example. (vs say, DB2)
As the anecdotes offered in these threads illustrate, it is not possible to cost or value healthcare on an individual basis.

Therefore, any market for individual purchase of healthcare (whether via insurance or directly) can only have faulty price signals.

Systems based on markets with faulty price signals are wide open to manipulation.

The perpetuation of such markets is contemptible, and particularly so in the case of healthcare since there is a straight line to be drawn from dysfunctional systems to human suffering.
Thanks! I've merged it.
Would you mind elaborating how the US heavily punished Portugal for its actions around drugs?

Or for that matter, what crippling sanctions the US placed on Canada for legalizing pot?

The peaks days of the drug war are long over. The US has no real capacity to do anything to nations for such decisions, that has become very clear. As more nations and US states legalize and decriminalize, the pro war on drugs group will be and or is being shown to have very little actual power. At this point even the Republicans are increasingly coming around to the drug war being an absurdity. Jeff Sessions & Co. are dinosaurs on the way out rather rapidly, the US will probably have a majority of states legalized re pot within the next decade.

Duh.
On the contrary, it is very relevant.

I run a search engine. What I save and think matters can be expressed in a very definite dollar value.

Old pages in practical reality equals "whole web", since the index isn't getting trimmed, and exponential cost.
We use AWS Lambda for running our Django application. We chose it because we did not want to manage servers and everything else that comes with it. We have had only a few minor issues, nothing we could not handle.

Initially it was a bit disconcerting that I could not ssh into a machine and inspect anything. However, our mindset changed after a while. Instead of thinking of Lambda as a server, view a Lambda application as equivalent to a Gunicorn process in a production server. No one is going to ssh into the process or set breakpoints.
When leading an Android platform team several years ago, we enable the OpenGL backend to Skia to see if it would accelerate general UI rendering.

The conclusion was after a whole bunch of bug fixes (OpenGL ES 2.0 IIRC), it ran but (a) ate up a lot of GPU memory (b) was slower than the 2D rendering for 80% of the drawing operations
(c) some rendering ops (such as the font wide) could not be easily accelerated, meaning you would need to flush the GPU partially rendered frame periodically, then bring into the CPU cache, draw over and then flush again before writing more GPU operations.

Fun experiment - poor outcome!
I’m also kinda frequent flyer and I can tell you I dont give a s* if I’m flying A330, A380, 767, 777, 787. Once inside, I barely see the difference, just immigration is more annoying if you’re flying A380 and sitting back in coach. I would never spend more money to fly A380. I’m working at a company where certain people hop on a plane every 2.2 days and I don’t even know a single colleague that would share your opinion.

In addition, if you think in Asia the A380 works well, then please tell me why Airbus is making so little money also there.
Something tells me it won't be a problem.
Then I'm mixing up my 1960s technology. PLATO supported character composition, and APL used it for operators like ⍋ (∆, backspace, ∣), so I assumed that composition using backspace was a reasonably widely understood concept which would have affected ASCII.
Then the honest course of action would be to debate the merits of the ordinance, not sabotage it with loopholes.
Not OP but I will go out of my way to select Airbus jets; their NVH is noticeably lower than Boeings jets, which results in a far more comfortable travel, especially long-haul (A380 being up there in terms of comfort).
If it looks like a scam, expressed like a scam, and promoted like a scam, then it probably is a scam.

Let me explain... achieving scale with public and private blockchains is a difficult computer science problem. Even if Dr. Nikolai Durov [1] is a genius, he is competing with other geniuses who are at least trying to probe their points in a more formal way [2]. It is not by chance that it is taking so long for Vitalik and other researchers to solve the scalability and security issues in Ethereum. So until other peers don't analyze Dr. Durov results via adversarial attacks we will not know how real are his claims.

A serious alternative to this ICO would be raising money for a PoC including hiring other researchers to break the original scheme. For example, before RSA was finished, Adleman worked on breaking the schemes devised by Rivest and Shamir until RSA was born [3].

This does not mean that you cannot make money, speculation works in a different dimension.

Your numbers are ancient, 2013 for both the PS4 and the XB1. I'm sure they've become way cheaper/profitable to produce since then, they're not cutting edge tech any more.
It's not that simple. I am not a lawyer, but...

At least for US law, there are split decisions. US v Microsoft (the Ireland case) [1] is currently pending a Supreme Court ruling.

I'd hazard to say that I'd be surprised if they didn't rule in favor of national security concerns, except that Jesner v. Arab Bank [2] is coincidentally also pending.

Given that the latter concerns the Alien Tort Statute [3], aka the ability of US law to be applied internationally, it will be an interesting pair of decisions.

I'm not familiar with how things work in France (other than rough knowledge of EU data privacy directives), but at least in the US things aren't as simple as "what the legal system wants via warrant, the legal system gets."

> The first sentence is just common sense, and no particular proof is needed.

How is this common sense?

> The problem is that we don't know how Tim selected these two particular pages as examples.

Yes we do know. He was using Google to find his own old stuff over the years. Some content he was referring regularly disappeared from Google's results. These pages had previously been included in the results.

> Another reasonable method would be to look at aggregate referer trends; is traffic from Google to old pages decreasing faster than traffic from Bing to those pages.

Yes that would be interesting.

I've been wondering whether Google would actually purge the URL too. The Googlebot used to be very persistent in retrying "404 not found" results.
True, but google is not searching there entire index for those. A simple linear search takes N time. So for a word that occurs billions of times. Google is not going to go through that entire list. They might use some clever hashing to jump around, and sorting. However, when trying to intersect two keywords they either have to pre-generate the intersection or make the data set they are intersecting small enough to get those 10 results quickly.
The equivalent here would be locking the door at noon while there's people in the building. Why would you need to "nuke the site from orbit" during business hours? What kind of competitor are you protecting against? One that breaks in in broad daylight with guns and steals servers? It's a system designed to thwart the collection of evidence. And that's very very illegal.

The problem is that the test procedure is then too far removed from the 'real emergency' procedure. I can envision a situation where the test works fine for 20 years, then in a real emergency the envelope cannot be found or the software says the envelope code is invalid.
Great comment, this provoked some day dreaming about mammalian physiology around the design of live birthing trading against maternal mortality where live birthing clearly wins in the risk/benefit evolution of such species. I'm very curious how maternal mortality distributes across other mammals, is it a pretty constant thing? I'm also curious about the aggregate extension of life women have experienced from birthing vs those tragically lost during child birth, say the sum of the ages of all such lost women, how those two figures would stack up.

Looking at this hit http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs348/en/ gives a figure 385 per 100,000.

"Maternal mortality refers to deaths due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth. From 1990 to 2015, the global maternal mortality ratio declined by 44 per cent – from 385 deaths to 216 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to UN inter-agency estimates.

Doing some back of the envelope calculations

100,000 sample size

385 maternal deaths in sample (picked the higher figure)

30 average maternal age at death (my own guess, leaning high)

11,550 years lost (385*30)

1 age increase per birth (my own guess, leaning low)

99,615 added years from successful births

88,065 net added years of life to mothers in sample.

Even if I choose a more pessimistic mortality rate of 1000 per 100,000 it's still a net positive with my figures; I roughly estimated that the break even point is 3226 deaths per 100,000 according to the above calculus. This analysis only works because the mortality rate is a thankfully such a small fraction, but tragically not 0. I wonder if there was ever a period in human history where the mortality was ever above 3%?
I'm surprised at the good reviews of the Roomba here. I got one a few years, and found it basically worthless. Everyday I'd come home and find the inventive way my Roomba had discovered to fail. Somedays it would get stuck on a chair leg, other times it would get trapped behind doors, or I'd just discover it dead somewhere without a clear explanation.

I had been hoping the Roomba would make my apartment and sweep it intelligently, but as near as I could tell, the Roomba just moved at random. I also found the power of the Roomba was weak. Inspecting my floor afterwards, I'd frequently find the same kind of lint, or detritus that made me want a Roomba in the first place.

Maybe I was just unlucky, or had a bad living space for a Roomba, but in my experience they aren't worth it at all.
This is not a matter of perspectives. This is ignoring the very titles she chose for herself and claiming that the article using those titles did so because of sexism (explicitly stated in another of cantrip's comments below).

There is nothing curious or creative here, just insidious behavior designed to start a fight without a modicum of evidence backing it.
There are things mixed up here, and it's my fault for bringing two different things in the mix.

In the case of the advice given to OP to give their phone number because recruiters won't use their contact email, it's situational.
If the resume is good enough and the position not easy to fill, the recruiter will use the email, because it would be unprofessional in these conditions to pass on a good applicant just because of lazyness.

If you work for a company where good applicants are legion and you can be that picky, well, considering the competition in the space, lucky you ^^'

Now, for the prospection case, I don't think the reason for trying to go for the phone call is data collection. Point is, emails get people to think. A developer considering changing jobs will read them, but only reply if the content is tempting enough: company clearly stated, guarantees that everything will be great (recruiting process, salary, advantages, work environment...)
However let's face it, most jobs are average / low bar, and developers knowing their worth won't even consider them. So recruiters who aren't lucky enough to have dream jobs amongst there clients have two options:
- refusing to work for companies with low standards, and specialize in giving only good positions. This is a risky long game, requires investment in assessing the companies, then building trust and reputation.
- forget about it, and play the numbers game. This is the setting where phone calls are more "efficient": it's all commercial techniques, don't give away much, favor direct contact to force people to agree to things they wouldn't if they had all the data and thinking time. This produces more matchings, so more money for the recruiter. Downside: it allows companies with crappy practices to still get a share of the applicants' pool, especially if they can afford a big turnover anyway.

Note: of course you can consider that playing the numbers is what gives you food, so, too bad for the developers who wasted time in crappy recruitment processes or even crappy jobs because of that. And I'm not saying all the pairings are for crappy jobs anyway, you can also have average or underestimated ones that just don't stand out in the market.

My point here is mostly that no, using email isn't a stupid way to get the job done, it's efficient if what you have to offer is demonstrably good. If your job offers are unattractive though, that's when you need to use phone calls and persuasive techniques.

And that's the reason I refuse discussions made through phone or in person contact right at the beginning: it doesn't let me fact check and explore options, and I may be pushed to agree to a pointless interview just because of a good "salesman recruiter". It's a waste of time.

That’s assuming that you reimplement/HLE parts of the operating system rather than running the whole system in the emulator, in which case you wouldn’t need to care much about how the OS works. I suppose you think HLE is nevertheless easier overall?

These are private market investments, so nobody is crunching any numbers for them and producing a valuation, they pay for this out of pocket. A small VC would lose with an "invest everywhere" strategy, each new investment grows sunken cost of valuating and negotiating an investment.

But there is a force in the other direction: each investment can only bear so much new capital without losing marginal value. So after a while you have to start to look for new investments to spread your capital around.

There is probably a ton of money behind these chinese investments, and a relatively small total market for venture capital, so they end up making a lot of investments.
