Function declarations are independent from function bodies. So think C/C++ headers/source file splits. You don't need to know what code is in bar if you know it takes 1 argument of type int and returns an int. That's all you needed to know how to call it successfully, so you can compile foo in your example perfectly fine. You just need to patch up the call location later when bar is resolved to actual address (this is the "link" step in a typical AOT compilation chain, or done by the loader if it's a dynamic dependency)
A few flaws in your arguments.

1. So what about all the other central banks that have been fairly stable for generations and have done fairly well in their stated goals?

2. Civil asset forfeiture isn't a banking issue. And you're naive if you think police can't seize a bitcoin wallet. The government has already done that http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2017/12/15/bitcoin_s...

Most users aren't going to practice the ideal security to prevent their crypto-currency for being seized. We know this because we have decades of experience knowing how careless and cavalier users are towards digital security. The currency isn't going to do it for them, so it's not a feature. Period.

3. When Bitcoin is shockingly volatile, so much so that you have to compare it with one of the worst failing economies in the world to make it seem less bad, well, that's a compelling argument. Call me up when there's a serious challenge to something like the USD or EUR.

4. Bitcoin is an interesting experiment. And under ideal conditions could address some issues you've mentioned. But conditions aren't ideal, it appears to be a mess really. Governments can still seize bitcoin. Governments can still regulate it. Half the things you tout have fallen flat on it's face and the other half certainly don't outweigh the glaringly obvious faults.

But hey, if you get in at the right moment, cha-ching. Which begs the question, you now hold $10 million USD in bitcoin, how many millions do you convert into banknotes or digital numbers in a computerized bank account to protect your wealth from the volatility?
That looks like a patent application, not a grant. You can't claim you have a patent on this yet.

This whole extra logic tier comparison doesn’t make much sense to me. The same logic exists on the server side anyways, you’re just moving it to the client. It’s not like making a site without substantial amounts of JS is really an alternative. You generally can’t just do everything with form submissions.
What I understand by SPA: Single Page Application: No need to reload the full page every time, but only to update the proper parts of the UI that has changed. It started with the GMail client and the ability to use AJAX. I like this definition because is conceptual, it is not tied to any specific technique

I am curious, in 5 years of doing SPA this way I have never hit a limit, what have you found?

> sure it was done entirely with POST and no business logic at all client side

Even if you don't have business logic on the client side, you still have a state: tab position, state of controls, etc. These are not part of the data you really care to store on the server, and yet they have to be sent there at each and every page reload, as they might be needed in order to build the response.
One thing I learnt to love about SPAs is how they distribute responsibilities: obv you get 3 layers:

- your DB which stores your data

- your backend which access your data, retrieve it safely, and delivers it without having to know anything about the client it serves.

- your frontend which handle how / when it needs data, which data it needs, how it caches it.

Separation is good, since you can test your API without needing your client, you can test your client code with mock data, you can build different clients (web, native apps, ..) over the same API (and even do not need to build an API if you're using things like graphql)
What's the distinction between 'hearing voices' and just thinking internally to yourself? Thoughts seem to be happening all the time and are not always super directed (isn't the goal of mindfulness to get a better handle on this?).

In the article having more negative thoughts post breakup in a competitive environment seems like a normal thing.

Is it a lack of agency or the voice sounding different or something? It feels poorly defined.

Reminds me a bit of this where internal maps might be different in a way that's hard to notice - language is not very good at sharing direct experience: http://generallythinking.com/richard-feynman-on-thinking-pro....
>Plus, it reduces the amount of soybean oil being used in food.

It reduces the land being used to produce food.

http://hungerreport.org/2017/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/hung...

"In 2014, Italian and U.S. researchers, examining a global dataset of large-scale land acquisitions, published a study showing that between 300 million and 550 million people could be fed by crops grown on these acquired lands. The land in these deals was in countries with some of the world’s highest rates of hunger and malnutrition. Govern-ments in fragile states, desperate to attract foreign investment, have proved all too willing to trade land to investors at bargain rates. Agri-businesses typically claim that they will reduce hunger by applying modern technologies to increase productivity on the acquired land. In fact, many of these deals are intended to produce crops for export or to produce biofuels. Reducing hunger and poverty in the host country is not a priority when crops can instead go to paying customers."

> I believe that's not even using the streaming compilation mentioned in the article

That's correct. Streaming compilation would finish earlier, but might actually benchmark more slowly because you'd be adding in the time that the compiler is idle and waiting for the network to catch up.

Preloading the .wasm file in the test lets us measure just the speed of the compiler, independent of the network.
It’s really inaccurate to call that “JavaScript” any more. You’re talking about a subset of JS that would never need to perform a GC! Really just “the subset of JavaScript which also happens to be C”.

The war o privacy part I
I'm thinking how what you say relates to this case specifically. The client insisted in his innocence. Even if the attorney considers the evidence overwhelming, he could plead his client innocent without lying.
The defendant was facing the death penalty, and their only defense was that they weren't there, and the whole thing was a setup by cops because he had information on them being drug traffickers. The lawyer was attempting to save his client from the death penalty, which is the best he thought he could do given the circumstances.

> As a side note, it is interesting to see that multithreaded compilation of a single page provides significant performance benefits here...this is usually not done with C/C++ code compilation from what I understand about it

Well, that's because typically all cores are maxed out during a parallel build of large-scale C++ software, so there's no need to go any further.

With link-time optimization it's a different story…hence the work some compilers (like rustc for Rust) are doing to parallelize builds of single compilation units.

This is great news, but I have a few questions that weren't covered in the article:

1. How long-lasting is the effect? How long does the LiCl stay "active"? Will bees need to be fed this at a regular cadence to keep them mite free?

2. Is there any evidence on whether or not the LiCl makes its way into the honey produced by treated bees? LiCl can affect the nervous system (although this is an extremely low quantity). I'm just wondering if there is someone who eats a LOT of honey, could they be impacted (similar to those people who reportedly got mercury poisoning from eating too much fish)

I know very little about the biological mechanisms at work here, but those were two thoughts that immediately came to mind.
I woould like people to start using the word 'currencies' because they are not.

Following Investopedia 'Currency is a generally accepted form of money, including coins and paper notes, which is issued by a government and circulated within an economy. Used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis for trade.'

crypto is not generally accepted form of money;
not issued by a government;
circulated within economy - somehow yes.

So they don't fulfill all the requirements.

You can import C (and many others) libraries without re-implementing it in JS for browsers. In my company's case, we compile C-written libopus almost directly to encode audio streams into Opus on browsers, not on servers. In this way we benefit much less data traffic and server CPU loads.
No the OP but this is my thing so I'll answer:

These numbers are from an 802.11ac based network using proprietary MAC (Mikrotik NStreme), YMMV.

Here's a 2 mile link @780Mbps modulation rate, tested with ping -s 1500:

72 packets transmitted, 72 received, 0% packet loss, time 71108ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.051/3.132/26.567/4.466 ms

Here's a 10 mile link @650Mbps modulation:

122 packets transmitted, 122 received, 0% packet loss, time 121164ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.984/2.174/20.479/3.260 ms

And finally here's stats over the two links combined (the path between my office and civilization):

68 packets transmitted, 68 received, 0% packet loss, time 67102ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.755/4.471/14.968/3.658 ms

Note that if you allow too much traffic on these links they will saturate and QoS will go to crap. So careful traffic shaping is in order. They are half-duplex so achievable throughput is much lower than the modulation rate (these links are delivering me around 250Mbits/s).

At unlicensed frequencies (2-6GHz) snow and weather are generally not a problem. You do have to choose antenna design wisely : the satellite dish type antennas that have a separate reflector can get snowed up, but people here in snow country are aware of that issue and brush the snow away. Rain fade is not a practical problem : you need some link received power margin for reliable operation and the worst that happens is rain eats into that a bit. Lightning is a much bigger issue in my experience: you need to be aware of proper grounding techniques (which can be expensive) and you need to be prepared to replace some gear every year due to EMP damage. Also fyi you want to at all costs avoid deploying CPE antennas on a roof. The roof is a nightmare for access, insurance costs, risk of causing leaks, and potential injury. For that reason WISPs will try to mount on a eave, soffit etc rather on the roof surface.

My son uses our network for gaming and while he does complain quite often about QoS, when I investigate the problem is _always_ with our upstream provider or the server end and never to do with our network.

OP stated above that he is using licensed spectrum for backhaul (probably 11 or 18GHz) and therefore will have better latency (full-duplex radios and hence lower MAC overhead).
Bless you, kind internet stranger! That was bugging me so much :)
> Heavier by what metric?

I believe that's more a limitation on the information the AI is taking from the data we present it. There's no question that a human can learn more from being presented with an object than an AI can learn from being presented 10,000 pictures of that object, what's unclear is if this is a fundamental difference or something that could be overcome by reevaluating what we're teaching and how.

We need a major policy transformation before any of this gains traction.

Health systems, unless they're also an insurance provider, have no incentive whatsoever to use make sure you're healthy. For as long as we live in a fee-for-service world, the system doesn't care if you get sick repeatedly for as long as you have to pay.

Want to start a successful health IT company? Optimize billing, minimize some penalty from Medicare and Medicate, or identify some population that needs services that can be charged for. Almost no one on the business side of medicine gives a damn to prevention and early-stage disease detection, since it will heavily cut into their bottom line.

Frankly, we don't even need AI to make a lot of progress in this space. There are a lot of simple regression models for preventative care that we could use today to make a decent step forward, but no one cares to implement them in part because implementing the money costs some money and in the end hurts the hospitals bottom line. The only projects with traction are the ones where some federal penalty or reward at stake (e.g. readmissions, sepsis, Obamacare's Accountable Care Organizations.)

I've even seen the head of a surgery department mock a startup pitch with the following: "you realize we make money from those operations you're trying to prevent?"

Frankly, someone needs to start a new hospital system to compete with the entrenched providers, because I doubt incentives for existing providers will change for a looong time. A Kaiser or "health membership" model would seem to be the best fit.

While this is exciting, I can't help but notice-

Under the conditions of the common beekeeping practice in non-tropical regions, which are characterized by high colony densities, prevention of swarming and periodical mite control, it seems difficult to achieve a more balanced host-parasite relationship. Thus far, a long-term survival of A. mellifera colonies without any control measures is nearly exclusively reported from feral populations or colonies kept continuously under natural selection pressure

Varroa mites have evolved resistance to all available synthetic acaricides

In other words, this discovery is just another step following the footsteps of other failing herbicidal & insecticidal campaigns. Doing things nature's way is inconvenient, so we develop chemicals. But eventually, resistance is developed, and then we are in an arms race that will never end.

It would be nice to see more attention paid to the well-being of native pollinators, which already take care of themselves in regards to parasites & diseases, but whose numbers have been falling in recent years.

Managed honey bee colonies supplement the work of natural wild pollinators, not the other way around. In a study of 41 different crop systems worldwide, honeybees only increased yield in 14 percent of the crops. Who did all the pollination? Native bees and other insects.
