Most of these programs require you to be able to clear the bureaucratic hurdles to be eligible for them; welfare reform in the '90s made many welfare programs temporary or added work requirements to them (like TANF, which is "temporary assistance for needy families). This continues today, with the Trump administration allowing states to add a work requirement for Medicaid, which in many cases would then make people ineligible for Medicaid as they would earn too much to qualify, but too little to get Obamacare subsidies for private insurance.

If you don't have a permanent address, up to date ID, and a bank account, and a job, many of these programs may not be available to you.

But I believe these counts do not include welfare programs other than those that give you cash (like Social Security benefits including disability). Other programs offer services or restricted forms of payment, which cannot be used for saving, for purchasing other things you might need like gas or transportation, and so on.
What does it even mean any more to be "for immigration"!

At what point do you feel the USA will have enough immigrants? It's already a nation of immigrants!
I'm not sure that applies here but it could definitely suffer from the Second System Effect -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect
It's not a poverty problem it's a cost of living problem. Those are two very different things (and becomes more and more severe the poorer you are)

You can't outsource your home to China.

Globalization does not make every day cheaper it just provides more choices and will in aggregate always increase the cost of living.

So as long as your job/income is on the right side of the rise of the cost of living you are fine but if you are on the other side with either no job or poorly paid job or as a freelancer (with no healthcare) then you are in trouble no matter how cheap flatscreen TV become.
you wish. in california high paying companies and universities the talk is still gender.

when even rich white woman need a movement, and they do, you realize how behind schedule the US is.
Is it really the result of globalization, or could it be the capture of gdp growth by the wealthy?

Thinking about it we tax productive work more then capital investment, and I'm not sure if that isn't ass backwards.

Diversity is a completely different subject from poverty. They're both subjects worth addressing.

Poor black people in the deep south and poor white people in the deep south still live different experiences even if they're both having a hard time. Rich african americans get treated differently from rich white people. This isn't a contest. We need to fix everything.
And health insurance used to.
While I understand how the health of the fetus relates to poverty, I fail to see how that has anything to do with this particular discussion? We are talking about how everyone starts with nothing. The balance sheet of all brand new people to world always starts empty.
I'm sympathetic to your point, but I suggest you have the wrong take here. It might have been better if people referred to modeling the system, but that ship sailed, as it were.

That is, we are primarily discussing how people use that phrase in informal communication. And the you'd be surprised just how far many can take the simulations in their head.
This is both factually inaccurate and tendentious in implication.
Well Bubba has no more right to a good life than Liu Chu but if you live next door to Bubba and 7000 miles from Liu Chu I think you have a higher duty to him than her.

Second, you could consider that Bubba has the ability to vote in US elections and Liu Chu doesn't. Making Liu Chu better off is a nice moral deed, making Bubba better off is not just a nice moral deed but also a political obligation.
That's great for them. But I won't be buying a ticket for any of his shows. After seeing what happened at the bataclan that makes this a stupid and dangerous idea.
It's like "The Dogs of War" who need permanent war, some kind of chaos to create possibilities for people like them.
They don't have 300 million people living there.
Agreed, indeed my immediate response to that comment was "that's not how science works, it's falsificationist".

What is your view on science, do you think it can create - and verify - a true result? Whither axiomatic underpinning in such a view?
That link has some bizarre misconceptions about namespaces (just define the namespace URLs you’re interested in as constants, don’t depend on the particular short name/URL map you expect, as that guy does).

It also looks like it predates cElementTree, which has an identical API but is vastly faster.

But anyway, yes, iterparse will be much more reliable/flexible than a regular expression search of non-canonical XML data, and will likely be faster, too.
Per capita, USA emissions have declined by 21% since 1980 [0]. Is it enough? No! All the items you're suggesting should be tackled.

But we can't have an adult conversation only focusing on one element of the equation and literally ignoring the elephants in the room. The total emissions of USA are 14.34%. Cutting them to zero would be insufficient to stop the global growth to CO2 in the atmosphere. Worse, in a few years the emissions of the rest of the world would grow to compensate the zero-emissions USA and we'd be back to square one.

I have yet to see a realistic plan for a carbon-balanced world economy even in a zero-emissions USA scenario.

No surprise here.. You would be surprised at the knowledge and experience level of so called "industry security experts"
Ahh, whatever happened to the lost art of "getting to the point." :-)
You're missing the point. Saying everyone starts off with a blank slate is like saying everyone born starts off alive. It's a useless statement. The point is that the quality of life upon birth is different. Said qualities result in the discrepancies you see today.

EDIT:

Furthermore, originally you stated:

> The fact remains that everyone starts with nothing

It's already been illustrated this is false. If you believe quality of life at birth is different, then by definition, everyone does not start off with nothing, or zero. People start off with the qualities possessed at birth.
Reading this, I feel like many "continuous delivery" frameworks miss the mark. You don't need to have a powerful, complex server set up just for expediting as-fast-as-robotically-possible releases to your customers, because that's burden and investment you don't need to start with. All you need to do is make small version changes and do as little as possible to make it live.
I guess you don't use planes either? After 9/11 it's a stupid and dangerous idea.
If you didn't know EUD, you may enjoy the seminal works Watch what I do [1] which is available online (mostly; some figures are missing) and Your Wish is My Command [2]. These books are compilations of early articles which explore very interesting approaches to building software artifacts, which look nothing like programming in a general language (though some of them resemble what Bret Victor is making popular nowadays).

BTW, spreadsheets are considered the most successful End-User Development tool; it's not coincidence that modern web languages resemble more and more its reactive programming model.

First that ends in 2015 and coal is already dropping slightly.

Second, Natural gas is used for both heating and electricity generation. It's heating not electricity production that's driving LNG demand. Further, coal is very rarely used for heating so LNG is mostly replacing fuel oil.

PS: That also ignores the worlds largest uses of energy. Growing plants from sunlight which completely dominates all other energy sources.
The world bank attempts to measure consumption from all sources, not just those that result from market transactions. Which is a very good reason why it is inappropriate to source a number for the US from a survey that doesn't attempt to measure consumption that way.

I understand that the US isn't the primary focus of the project, nor should it be, but in the absence of good data it would be better to put N/A as it did for several other countries, rather than a misleading statistic.

There's some good information on measuring consumption starting on page 91 here: http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/452741468778781879...
> ... a racist relative’s post of an anti-immigration meme

Nice way to conflate anti-immigration opinions with racism, Guardian. You probably don't even know you're doing it.
I think the point is nickleodeon.com and disney.com are just as easy to visit as github, Netflix is more likely to be on a kids tablet than Scratch.
What I don’t understand are the people who simultaneously complain about poverty in America and see absolutely no reason to apply any kind of standards for the people emigrating to this country (like, “must have an advanced degree”), or even any kind of limits on immigration at all. We are undoubtedly importing more people destined to live in poverty. Save me the rhetoric about every immigrant being a future doctor or engineer, yes there are many success stories but there are also plenty that end up being net drains on society due to, well, not being skilled workers.
I think the most telling bit of the whole article is where the author is described as "a man who was eventually killed while trying to create his own region in Somalia"...

Strictly speaking Somalia and its various autonomous regions do now have government, though you still won't face many restrictions on migration, particularly not if you look like you have assets. But a certain period of Somalia's history is very appealing to a certain type of "libertarian" to whom the idea of no taxes, decentralised everything, no taxes, "polycentric law" consisting of clans trying to pay each other off to avoid blood feuds, no taxes, rugged entrepreneurs starting businesses against amazing odds and did I mention no taxes.

Unfortunately it doesn't correspond well with the reality of a society where ransoms were a major source of national income, stronger families generally could ensure the "judgement" they wanted irrespective of the facts of the case and women didn't even have enough ability to "preserve the dignity and integrity of their body" to not have bits of their genitals chopped off by clan elders.
Often the first thing companies do when they license tech from academia is try to reproduce the findings in a rigorous setting, rather than jumping straight into novel work. Behind closed doors, big pharma scientists complain about the quality of academic work even published in leading journals

This problem is real and is probably not going to be addressed within the academic community. However, as more scientists realize that the path to running your own lab and directing your own research agenda lies in working at startups rather than in academia / big pharma, hopefully the way science is done will change

In CA at least, venture capital funds more life science R&D than do NIH dollars, and probably more than big biotech (Genentech / Amgen / Gilead etc)
FAN! FUCKING! TASTIC!

Sorry, I'm aware that yelling is not appreciated, but this is a really cool idea.

There's hardly anything more annoying at gigs than those dunces in front of you recording some ultra-shitty video that nobody ever looks at.

Those small screens are a real distraction and phones also don't really serve as substitutes for lighters used, when Led Zeppelin started with Stairway to Heaven.

A rant about this specific song is reserved for another comment.
It always confuses me how right libertarians can have such a huge blind spot for coercive power coming from anything that doesn't look exactly like a nation-state. If a private organization can exercise coercive power over me, is that somehow better than if a nation-state can exercise coercive power over me? I don't see how. If anything it is worse because at least a democratic nation-state has some level of accountability to me in the form of voting. A private organization has no accountability to me at all.
Are they? The article was arguing that Somalia was a stateless society. I don't know much about these particular clans. Do they have a defined and more permanent central power structure?
Aha, he actually addressed zstd in a post. tldr is zstd usually lower ratio and lower speed than mermaid but sometimes better ratio for text.
Personally, I'd kinda like to see venues Faraday-cage the concert areas, so people can't get online from them. That way, people could still take photos and video, but wouldn't spend the entire concert on Facebook. (Thinking of this due to a favorite venue of mine, the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, that has basically zero cell phone reception from the floor.)
Classist?
Well, I guess we're wrong then.

At Hathi (https://newguard.icei.org/projects/index.html) we're using ActivityPub as our data exchange protocol.

It's well thought out, and saves us a lot of trouble. It's easier to discuss architecture with something on hand to refer to.

As for the investment of time.. yes, but we figure it'll be worth it. We're not satisfied with any of the current platforms. We want to be able to collaborate without distractions, and we figure others will join us along the way.
If the question is "why some are able to flourish, while others continue with nothing indefinitely", then the fact that some children are given $millions in liquid assets where others are lucky to be given food and clothing would certainly seen germane.
There are time limits on how long certain benefits can be taken advantage of (and work requirements in certain cases). Housing assistance has long wait lists and federal health care assistance (medicaid/medicare) has a ton of age/health restrictions.
I don't think this is about bootlegs. It's about all those idiots in front of you flashing out their phones and completely spoil an immersive concert experience.
Few others in America have read The Little Prince (though I think everyone in France grows up reading it).

Since you created a sockpuppet account to do it, I'd say you aren't really going out on a limb.
I find it interesting to see the external perspective of someone looking at FPGAs for this application since I'm an FPGA guy myself and know quite a lot about it.

The price is a fair complaint but it's a bit misleading - actually boards aren't $50k for people who are serious about building an application with them.

The bigger concern for me is that all the benchmarks I've seen show janky FPGA solutions that cut a lot of corners barely compete with fairly mature GPU solutions. So you're spending 20x the development time for 90% of the performance with 95% of the algorithm. The big promise from Intel was that the Stratix 10 chips would be 5x as big with 2x the Clock speed and your CNN algorithm would just magically kick arse. That doesn't seem to have happened - Stratix 10s are almost impossible to get hold off, the promises about performance are getting watered down and of course, by the time you can actually get an application running on it GPU technology has moved on and the performance still isn't competitive. At this point I don't see FPGA being a player in the AI market except for extremely embedded solutions.
And this, despite being an advocate for personal freedom and limited government, is why I am not a libertarian or an anarcho-capitalist. They live in a fantasy land.

Culture matters, and no one form of government works for every nation. That is why it is just as much folly to impose western democracy upon the world as it would be to impose anarcho-capitalism upon the world.
Kantian republic.
The fermi paradox bothered me quite a bit, like all paradoxes and they should bother everybody. They are a flag that something does not add up and there must be some sort of wrong assumption somewhere.
As most of our combined "knowledge" does not add up correctly just one example is quantum mechanics and relativity - no, they do not add and therefor need higher dimensions to have a model (a emergency hatch).

It is quite funny when you understand that 2 general believed assumptions are the root cause for all the strangeness in our psysical models and very far down the line it explains why we will never receive alien EM signals in the area we a searching in - really makes no sense to scan there.

Non the less, I appreciate their efforts.
>This isn't a contest.

Isn't it though? I mean to a certain extent policy and even corporate 'diversity initiatives' are a matter of priority - first we even the ground for women, then minorities, then maybe gender id is next? I don't see the Ivy League rushing to ensure that their campus maintains wealth-diversity in the same way they ensure racial diversity. Maybe we really do need an Oppression Olympics, then we can sort out which group is most in need of help and prioritize them (I'm biased, I think it's going to be the poor.)
so in other words Google is the biggest private equity firm that does search.
I think it's time to take the records online.
One of the reasons a comic might do that is to avoid being the target of a Twitter outrage mob over a recording of them doing an insensitive joke.
That makes sense. Interests vary across individuals - and certainly some people have both less a taste for the exotic and less comfort visiting places where English might not be spoken than others.

And, traveling the US is great!
how do you sue companies out of existence if there's no government?
In Seattle or other cities where traffic congestion is such a problem, I'd take someone for free if I could drive in the carpool lanes. I can even imagine someone who could be paid for just being a body in the car by someone really well off.
> You're missing the point.

Technically, I made the point. I'm not sure how I can miss my own point? Granted, I may have poorly phrased it leading to others missing the point, which is my bad, but if you're not going to try and let me clarify, I'm not sure what we're doing here?

> The point is that the quality of life upon birth is different.

Sure. I cannot disagree with that, but it's miles away from this conversation.

> It's already been illustrated this is false.

I'm afraid I still don't see it. That point was made in reference to earlier discussion specifically about wealth (again, something you measure on a balance sheet, not factors like fetal health). Their parents might have wealth that can be transferred to the child, but that is not the same as starting with wealth.
just a nitpick: The size of atoms is in the 10e-10 m order, the 10e-15 is around the size of nuclei

I know how he feels. I'm a musician too, and it's really demoralizing when you're up on stage rocking your heart out for people, and you look out and see people's noses in their phones rather than listening to you. (It's probably more demoralizing when you're a tiny indie band playing for fun rather than professionally, and there are only 20 people there and the only reward you get is the chance to play for them.)

I think photos and video are way more distracting than someone not paying attention.

If I pay for a concert ticket I don't want to be forced to watch it through the phone camera of the person in front of me.
I agree that Google has a customer-service problem, and would also note that it seems to extend from their consumer tech to their enterprise offerings.

For example, when Gitlab decided to transition from the cloud, we saw Google Engineers jump in the discussion thread unprompted, criticizing Gitlab's decision and not-very-subtly telling Gitlab to follow up over email. Obviously, these low-level employees weren't directed to act in concert, but it seems like they came from a culture where the customer knows nothing and is always wrong.
There's a balance to that. You don't need anything fancier than a Hadoop cluster to store everything. Nowadays you can get that packaged and working out of the box from a number of vendors.

Of course get that data out into analytical datasets is a whole different matter.
I've contacted all of theses services independently and had positive customer support experiences: Google Wifi, Fi, Google Store (phones), and Drive. Time frame is last couple of years.
I've tried to learn digital marketing online but the most difficult and funny part about it is that all the teachers are digital marketers, so everyone has a newsletter and an ebook they're trying to sell you. So it's difficult to break in and actually learn how to do digital marketing.
Tool has been doing this same thing for years. The show I attended this past summer couldn't have been more immersive.
Without immigration the US population would be shrinking. So, we need an endless supply of new immigrants to avoid a host of problems now facing Japan.

Second we directly befit from a mix of immigrants from all nations.
You mean network effects? Because that’s why having more engineers here leads to higher pay and more interesting work opportunities.
I really sympathize with anyone who has looked into Buddhism and found it puzzling or even annoying. I felt the same way for many years -- if the Buddha had realized something really important, I'm listening, why not tell me what he realized in a straightforward way?

Well, he would have, if that would work, but it doesn't. Concepts fly easily between our minds but concepts don't seem to really change how our minds work. What does change how our minds work is direct experience. We lead ourselves to the life-changing realizations by meditation.

Slowly, steadily, you train yourself to be calm, to be indistractable, to make your mind very still, much stiller than it ever is even in sleep. Focusing on the nature of experience itself, your mind directly experiences new information about its own workings. And when it does, it has no choice but to change itself, because it does not want to suffer. It causes itself to suffer only because it does not see how its actions lead to suffering. When it does see, it stops. It's freedom and peace by insight.

It starts making perfect sense to help others, to plant trees the shade of which you will never enjoy yourself, etc. You see that it doesn't make sense to fear death. It doesn't make sense to be angry at anyone. It's good stuff.
I think the point is being missed here. In an inherent sense, humans start with nothing.

We (as a society) have hospitals available which greatly decrease infant mortality. We have widely available nutrition that keeps people from starving. These are steps that we, as a society, have taken to improve upon the default state (having nothing) of humans--including fetal health. Perhaps rather than focusing on how to make people in poverty more comfortable, we should focus on how to get them out of poverty.

That's not the same as claiming all people start on a level playing field.
Timescale is open source PostgreSQL extension that is much safer vs RethinkDB.
presumably once they have a possible identification they can use other techniques like dental records to confirm. It's taking them from "we have no idea who this person is" to "this person might be x, y, z" .. but at least at that point it's practical to do a more thorough investigation.
It was pre-registered. However, they did a battery of tests, and only report on a few. This is a method of cheating on the pre-registry process.
