> If it risks the lives and sometimes costs the lives of Americans performing a highly dangerous mission for America

Granted it probably risked the lives of non-Americans even more performing a dangerous mission for America. American agents are usually not harmed, it would be a major fuck up from the Chinese side to knowingly assassinating CIA agents. But what they would not think twice about executing Chinese agents who supplied information to the Americans.
Just to clarify, the above is not "my" equation. It is something that mathematicians (not me) figured out, repeatedly, many times over.
Of course, the -1/12 number is preposterous, but it does turn out to have a physical meaning.

There are many ways of making the sum, including limit of partial-sums/summation by parts (the one we use most of the time), but there is also Abel summation, Borel summation, Ramanujan, Cesaro, and more. And frankly there is no reason to think that "summation by parts" is the "right" way. It is surely not "right" in physics. Example: why do we start summation from 1? Is the first element somehow more important than others? No, that is just our (ie human) arbitrary pick.

How are those narrow viewpoints? It seems the narrow viewpoint is the one where we all have to own cars, and people can't understand how anyone could live without a car.
Maybe he was kidnapped by the CIA or a friendly intelligence agency and brought back covertly to avoid a diplomatic incident with China.

Possibly you know more about it than I do! When I've used it (admittedly only once) it was very susceptible to anything in the air (dust, rain, snow) and was not very reliable over even a very short distance (less than 30meters iirc). I guess I can see how it could work with lots of buffering so there's not much packet loss but it seems like that would negatively affect latency.
> Windows Mobile is dead, so UWP is really just for desktops and Xbox

Surface Pros are desktops but closer to tablets/iPad style. So it is like a desktop on mobile platform really. Lots of business apps are going to the Surface for control reasons like that. Who knows, maybe one day Microsoft returns to mobile phones not just tablets, Surface Pros are making inroads and Windows Ink is solid. Bill Gates tablet vision was too early, Microsoft has a valid competitor, but yea it is technically 'desktop'.

Big reasons Microsoft went UWP: Surface/tablets, AOT compiling, Windows Store and building compat with .NET standard/core 2, touch inputs + mouse input, none of which WPF offered. UWP will evolve but it is going to closely match iOS/Android more than Windows desktops of the past.
Smart light startup Twist abruptly shuts down without refunding customers
Well... As someone outside of that arm of the industry, I have to wonder about what exposure there is to spectre, or what kind of patches are coming out for affected machines.
A Lyft to Snoqualmie would be expensive, but a Zipcar, ReachNow, or Car2Go wouldn't be. Especially since you don't need car insurance or have to pay for gas.

Zipcars with ski racks might be a little hard to find in Seattle during the winter, but they do exist.
That takes me back -- I remember when Japanese laptops were so innovative that there was an entire site (dynamism, I think?) devoted to localizing and providing them to US customers. Now it seems like Apple has really driven the laptop industry and that Japanese laptops are chunky, underspecced, and overpriced...
Actually I didn't see anything about licensed spectrum on the site, but of course that helps with backhaul and high-end subscribers. For many years we really didn't see any interference issues with P2P links @5GHz but that has changed recently. We have been deploying dishes with shrouds to cut down on sidelobe gain.

My experience has been that interference is as much a problem at the CPE side (and much harder to diagnose there) than at the AP. I've also noticed that with Ubiquity/Mikrotik-grade radios in the 5GHz spectrum you can easily get interference from your own co-located radios at the same site, using different channels (because they are not so good about suppressing out-of-band radiation).
Grade separation would work in warm climates, but anywhere it may snow it is somewhat dangerous as hitting the hidden curb could send you out of control.

In one street of my city the parking was replaced with two way bicycle lanes, and there are plastic bollards to separate it from the road (which is probably around 9 feet now as you suggest). Compared to a grade separation that isn’t going to do much if you go over it, if you hit a bollard it’s going to leave a nice permanent mark on your car, so you are going to drive more carefully.

The only issue I’ve seen with this is if vehicles need to deliver to the shops and bars on this street, they have to park in the cycle lane (there is no rear access or parking).
Perhaps because it was originally designed for use without TLS? Request signing was pretty much ubiquitous 10 years ago.

> When you add back the revenue that would be generated from 13,000 jobs the state will come out well ahead.

You haven't proved that statement. I calculate that the state will likely recoup it's taxes from personal income only if Foxconn hires 13,000 people for 20 years.

Edit: Showing math

20 years * 13,000 people * $70,000 average salary * 17% income tax is around $3 billion.

I find the security benefits of a popular, frequently-updated browser (not IE11) far outweigh the risks posed by use of a rendering engine that certain companies have touched. I echo the suggestions of a WebKit browser or, failing that, Mozilla Firefox.
For me personally, as a developer, the head-downs days were most successful. Having planned uninterrupted time were I know before hand that I will be able to tackle a big chunk of work or focus on a particular hard bug or whatever, was invaluable.

Head-space is great. On Friday afternoons people are usually tired and mess around anyway, so why not do something useful with that time instead of hanging around to do your 40 hours.
Not sure if you knew this, but there’s a bunch of companies who make MagSafe like USB-C cables. Not only do you get the safety benefits of a magnetic breakaway cable, you also get the benefit of it not being proprietary.

I find it ironic that everyone always beats up on Apple for having proprietary connectors (more for phone admittedly), but then when Apple does do something standard, they still get beat up. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t I guess.

Personally I love that it’s USB-C as now I can use an external battery with my Mac when I need extended run time without having to pay super premium prices for something like HyperMac’s old system. That and the fact I can plug power in on either side is a huge plus to me.
Hey, thank you! :) You can run computations on streaming data sources, and building computations on some local files and then running it as a part of a bigger, network connected pipeline is a very common workflow. As for connectors for specific services like Postgres or Cassandra, there aren't any libraries yet. All there is is bare networking, ready to be used for these. If you'd like to make that happen please let us know over the chat or at our forum, we'd love to assist you!

This, very much. You have around 100-120 responses, and for many groups (gender, company) you had <20 people responding. You really can't draw any conclusions from this, especially because a lot of the "results" differed by very little.

IBM and Maersk Are Creating a New Blockchain Company
It respects the people in society who believe that, as long as a commercial work continues to make significant amounts of money, they are entitled to the profits of their labors.

It also respects the statistic that most creative works stop being commercially exploited within about 28 years [1]. A shorter default copyright allows society to reap the benefits of the default effect [2], in which a creator who is no longer interested in the sale of their work is psychologically more likely to just let the default option happen, which in a world with regular extensions of copyright would mean their work would enter the public domain and others could make use of their work.

It also forces creatives and companies to back up, with results, that they believe their works are, for their own benefit, worth denying the public access to. If a work deserves or needs more than 20 years of profit to justify its existence, fine, but your belief being backed up with a $20,000 deposit, and the knowledge that the cost to you is only going to go up from that point, speaks a lot stronger than just one's word.

The reason why Foxconn is building a plant in the US is to hopefully exempt the company from a US-China trade war that Trump might possibly be stupid enough to start. Wisconsin was the lowest bidder.
> Google discovered a problem and reported it to Intel, AMD, and ARM on June 1st. Did they then go around contacting all of the operating systems which would need to work on fixes for this? Not even close. FreeBSD was notified the week before Christmas, over six months after the vulnerabilities were discovered.

Absolutely shitty behavior by Google, AMD, Intel and ARM. Notifying the FreeBSD devs so late is a slap in the face to the FreeBSD community and makes the internet as a whole less safe.

Good points and prototype design. Things of such importance should be designed to help remove as much human error as possible.

For example, the big red button in modern data centers, they are purposely behind a somewhat weighted glass or plastic casing with clear instructions on it's purpose that has to be manually opened and lifted in order to be pushed. It is a button that cannot be accidentally pushed, unless there is no casing which would be a major design, engineering, management and implementation flaw just waiting to accidentally be pushed.

There should be extremely high standards of ease of use and good UX/UI any emergency system, it should remove the capability of accidentally being engaged in a live environment that goes out to the public. If that system is engaged then there should be no doubt it is a true emergency and the individual or individuals operating the system engaged it on purpose.

For testing, there should be a clear and informational way to know the system is in testing mode versus production mode. Many experienced engineers have seen what happens when test and production are not separated properly (junior engineer wipes out or causes a disruption in production by properly following a documented process that should have been updated to insure that production, test, staging and dev cannot talk/hurt each other).

It is good that this large issue is being addressed, and I hope the entire government takes steps to improve interface design to the emergency systems as when they are needed it should be extremely simple for the operator to insure they are not making any mistakes and should be very difficult for an accident to occur.
Well, companies also prefer higher margins to lower margin i.e. if they can get away with paying lesser compensation, then that's exactly what they will do.
I'm amazed a naturalised citizen would be given so much information access. There must be significantly higher risk of naturalised citizens having loyalty to their former country or ties that can be used to manipulate them. And while these people must be valuable for their insight it seems amazing he would not be kept in more of an information bubble.

Almost everything I read abut the CIA seems incompetent to some level. I know they use that line 'you only hear about our failures' but things where you see a large proportion of their actions (successful or not) like all the coups, it seems there is no oversight to quality of their work and I'm guessing decision makers are selected on confidence and ego rather than ability.

I genuinely wonder if the world would be a better place, if they were scaled back and reorganised to purely focus on their primary purpose only of being intelligence source only for the president and other elected policy makers.

There are also chord changes that are too complex for me to interpret in real time.

It’s far more dire than some spy agency slapfighting. Look at the other headline today about proud, patriotic Americans kow-towing to Foxconn for the political sleight of hand of a few jobs. And yet another headline is about court martialing top brass in the US Navy because the “world police” can’t navigate peacetime waters in Asia without causing fatalities. Meanwhile, a new class of Chinese nuke sub is spotted openly flying a Chinese flag off the Senkaku islands in brazen defiance of the American protection racket in Asia. No one will be more pleased than Okinawa to see their supposed protectors go away. They’ve been hostages since before WWII. Japan is getting squeezed from the North by Russia. Indonesia is openly talking about joining China’s team. African kids are learning Chinese in school. And in Hawaii, the sloppy, lazy ineptitude and panicky fear-mongering are on full display.

Who in their right mind would trust such people as stewards of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal?

The game is up, but no one in America seems to know it yet. Those who are paying attention are just hoping America doesn’t take everyone else down with them.

> aside from NIMBY neighbors who don't want the increased traffic and activity

This made me laugh. Let me try to explain why. Kenosha/Racine are about as far from SF Bay / crowded metropolis as you can get. They're bedroom communities of Chicago and Milwaukee with one or two major local employers.

So, trust me, none of the locals care about the traffic/activity. If anything, they welcome it.

However, locals do care about the environmental impacts. Tourism, growth of bedroom communities, and other economic activity related to the location's environmental appeal helped the local economy sustain the hit from auto factory closures. A dirty, polluted lake would rob this region of a somewhat unique/defining natural resource. And the locals know all too well that factories come and go.

So, far from NIMBYism, there's a very intelligent and hyper-rational, purely economic concern about the economic impact of degrading the local ecosystem.
Apparently it could also turn pretty hard. Mind, it's turn radius was huge, but at mach 3.2 it still meant pulling a lot of g's.
Is it really news to you that life, politics, and international relations have tribal and competitive aspects to them? You can be superrational, but that will cause you to lose horribly to the rest of the players.

>a large portion of people who value thunderbird for it's stagnancy, but at the same time get angry if you suggest that thunderbird might be stagnant.

Stagnant is a negative characteristic. Keeping things that work the way they are isn't.

MSPaint hasn't been "stagnant" for decades, it was the way people liked it.
Best thing you can do to reduce your environmental impact is probably to kill yourself, or if you are not morally against it, probably kill as many people as you can. Baring this, you could just sit around and do nothing all the time. This isn't very fulfilling. Some people, myself included, want to enjoy the mountains and driving to them, while maybe not ideal, is the only way at the moment and for some can be worth the environmental cost.

I'd wager the best thing you can do for the mountains is to rally for their future protection and educate the public on the importance of saving our public lands.
Am I missing something? I thought, and I could be wrong, that this whole mess got started when they tried to establish NN through the FTC, but Verizon took them to Court on the basis that the FTC didn't have the authority to do that, and the FTC lost.

I disagree. I've used both Flow and Typescript for a few major projects. I was able to resolve virtually all of my Typescript issues by googling. Flow on the other hand required many github issues and most of them were ignored or unresolved. In my mind it's a no-brainer, Flow is dead and mostly unmaintained from an open-source point of view. I'm sure the Flow team is great but they only care about one consumer, the Facebook.

They should slap an unmaintained notice in their project and direct people to Typescript and save everyone a whole lot of hassle, including themselves.

That isn't to mention the third-party type definitions are completely lacking on the Flow side.

Flow is dead.
People complain about racism whenever ethnically Chinese or in this case a naturalized Chinese citizen within the IC is subjected to extra security scrutiny, but China has a very effective intelligence program taking advantage of these people, and is very aggressive at pursuing espionage against the US. This is probably not sustainable.
I can't wait to vote for the challengers of any one on my ballot that supported this foxconn bs. Also, the WEDC is a fucking joke. Talk about privatizing profits and socializing losses. The Republicans in this state are the biggest hypocrites, picking winners and losers. Free markets my ass. Makes my blood boil (and I tended to vote just right of aisle).
Plus also Hawaii is a deeply nepotistic state. You don't get a contract to build this kind of thing without knowing somebody who knows somebody. So bidding for this kind of work is much less about qualifications than it is about who you know. Way, way less than anywhere on the mainland. Way less. Whatever you're thinking along the lines of "Oh, no, this is just what it's like in government work," it's not even close to the situation in Hawaii.
Simple explanations for the explosion in ICO's?
