> using large numbers of small computers ends up being a more efficient, smarter, and faster approach than using a few larger, more powerful computers

Huh? Using large numbers of small computers is definitely smarter and more cost effective. I'm surprised by the claim that it's more efficient and faster. The moment what you are doing needs to hit the network you eat some real costs in terms of efficiency and latency.
Your boss is a doofus. If there really is no dress code then just wear what you feel comfortable in.
If someone else comments you could reply with something about how "this makes me feel comfortable and puts me in the mindset to work".
Actually, this is interesting as an explanation.

My toddler woke up yesterday with fever and I was starting to feel like I was coming down with something as well (no fever yet), so we went to the clinic. They tested her, flu confirmed, gave us all Tamiflu. I started feeling markedly better about 6-8 hours after first dose. Today, we’re all completely normal except for mild cold symptoms. And this happened basically exactly the same last year. So I find all these studies about how Tamiflu basically does nothing to be pretty hard to take seriously...

EXCEPT that we were all vaccinated, which I didn’t even consider until now. I had assumed that getting the flu was a binary thing, and the vaccination just protected you from coming down with it, but wouldn’t ameliorate the symptoms or cause you to recover faster. That’s a much more compelling story if true.
That was the parent comment's point. It might have more sense from an operational perspective to have naval aviation assets take it out.
Inter Partes Review Saves 80 Companies from Paying for a Sports-Motion Patent
Boulder may be the most quintessentially NIMBY community in the USA. And it's been that way for decades, so yes, this is a strange discussion to have about Boulder of all places. Importantly though, I suspect Boulder has an above average number of renters who will be disproportionately impacted by an increase in high paying job growth, as they will not see any return on equity.
Amazing work. Moving the main application window around in the open blue workspace is so "native". It's like I just got a new OS right there in my browser.

I wonder if I can get other things to run in the same isolated space??? To begin with how about something symbolic like XEyes or good old, in fact anything good old.
No. Without freedom to mess around and experiment with different styles, how are you supposed to learn why it matters, let alone develop your own style?

(Reading/modifying nicely-written code is a good exercise to try early on, though...)

I'm somewhat alarmed about how ubiquitous these formatting tools have become. Seems like a step towards stamping out any trace of individuality, and making programming an assembly-line job rather than a craft.

It’s possible, they might gradually start using the three engines for longer, then maybe even use more engines. I doubt the last part though, the burns aren’t for very long already and I think 3 engines probably gives plenty of kick. There’s also the issue of fuel flow dynamics to the engines, but only SpaceX will have any idea about that.

> Could you go to prison for renting an AirBnB in NYC?

It's not a criminal offense, so the punishment is a fine, not prison time.

But it's not just renting an AirBNB that's illegal in New York - listing a short-term, whole-apartment rental is illegal. (Short-term, whole-apartment rentals are not legal, and it's illegal to list an illegal rental).
Hell of a way to try and pump, from the “act like a fool so as to lure even greater fools into the pool” playbook. Of course reading some comments it seems likely that this was not just one person, and probably not their residence.

Why do I suspect that the global market for ice skates, which now includes ice skating rinks in many areas that don't get ice, and supports multiple sports, such as Hockey, Curling (not to mention the Olympic level sports), is actually (much) more than ear muffs.

I mean, I was honestly trying to figure out which way you were going with that analogy while reading is, because it seemed to cut against your point.

Perhaps instead of this false dichotomy or business vs toy, we should actually consider supply, demand, reach etc and many the other variables that have proven the test of time that they actually help define future success.

Here's a list of toys I can rattle off the top of my head, let me know whether they are crappy businesses to start if they didn't exist: Movies, Video games, Comic books, Frisbee.

Entertainment is a business.

I bought a pair of Keen's after I quit Merrill. They lasted a long time, close to two years of pretty heavy use and gripped very well, but they needed an aftermarket insole right out of the box and cost about $140 or more. They were good shoes but were never close to as comfortable as the old Merrills.
I ran into this question a lot when speaking about ReasonML, and am quite a fan of Elm as well.

But a vaccine is basically giving your immune system a new toolbox for fighting diseases, so it would make sense to me that even if it didn’t stop you from getting the disease, it still equips your immune system to ease the severity
I remember when the first iphone was released in 2007. I had several friends working at Blackberry at the time and they were dismissive of the iphone as merely a "toy". I always quiped in response "who doesn't love toys?".

Had Blackberry taken the threat of the iphone more seriously, the smartphone market would look very different.

Shor's original paper discusses the fundamental need for several runs and gives the time complexity.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9508027.pdf

The paper you linked to is just saying that the need for several runs and 2006 readout error rates together led to awful scaling (though still better than classical factorisation). That isn't surprising. Error rates in all parts of even modern quantum computers are still too high to scale well. Especially when repetition is called for.

Ultimately, complexity is calculated using logical qbits. Kalai doesn't think that even with error correction codes we can get close enough. Most other people think we can. That paper you linked to is just making the point that we're definitely not there yet. When we do, algorithms in BQP will still need several runs on many algorithms (the exact same way as algorithms in BPP do) but that should already be incorporated into those algorithm's complexity.
Unless the Bee has a backline to a shady person at the Secretary of State's office, their dataset would not contain votes. I believe what they have is the voter registration database.

> include rural prosperity

The United States has just shy of one billion acres of farmland. In 2014 The United States had an agriculture export surplus of almost 40 billion dollars. The current Farm Bill, and the historical trend, pushes the market towards consolidation and mono-crops. In 2014 we produced 54 billion dollars of corn, and our 10th biggest crop (barley) was 0.9 billion dollars. The median farm income in 2014 was $-118.

If you want to increase the wealth of rural America I suggest looking for ways to make small to mid sized farming profitable. We are literally covered in farmable land, and rural areas will be better at it then urban areas for a long time.
Someone needs to pull rank and take over or start an investigation outside of the CFPB. They clearly aren’t doing their job, and now it has become stupid to simply ask them to start doing it.
I don't what the specific details are in this case, but there may be an easement. Generally property owners are entitled to access their real property. For example, if an owner purchases a plot of land that has no access except by crossing another property there is an "easement by necessity" for the former owner to cross the property of the latter to access his property.

Whether the sidewalk owners can enforce it is another matter. (See also Kosla's jackassery around denying water access.)

While I do agree that all these areas need regulatory improvements, I feel like you're falling into the what-about-ism trap. I personally feel like increased regulatory scrutiny about tech companies (i.e. regulating information) would be a strong first step in allowing society to then regulate the other industries that you mentioned.
I also lack sympathy.

But... I actually am a fan of the ability to reverse the transaction.

I'm absolutely sure that having people who are politically connected in the neighborhood was part of making that happen, and I'm just as sure that it would have been impossible for most people in the same situation.

But now that it has happened, people who lose their property via tax liens have something to point to in a last ditch effort to save their property. And given that these transactions are more dangerous today than they were yesterday, perhaps the prices that the auctions bring will be lower - meaning that maybe once in a while a regular joe will be able to pop in and get a deal.
Filtering out “assholes” is not the path to great good.

It makes sense, but I just never hear about that as a reason to get the vaccine, which seems crazy. The flu is miserable, so if the actual benefit of the vaccine is that you probably won’t get sick, and if you do, it’ll be for 36 hours instead of ten days, that seems to be a huge benefit they’re underselling.

I don't really know anything about these companies beyond the 1-paragraph summaries from the article, and yes, you may arrange your Startup Superheroes(TM) trading cards into slightly different piles, but the point of this is that (of the announced companies), it's curious to see where the gaps in the debutants are.
According to one analysis, Google has over 90% of the global search market. What's crazy is that its market share includes virtually 0 in China, where it backed out/was forced out.

That’s not quite a fair comparison. The $500m to $1bn was just for the heavy variant, it doesn’t include the cost of developing the F9 itself. Musk has previously estimated the cost of just developing the landing capability by itself at about $1bn. But still, yes it’s a lot less than Saturn V.

> I mean, I've only used Qt very briefly, but how would I, for example, use Qt widget functionality to add a nice menu to my existing 3d game?

I don't think that would be very desirable: Qt widgets are made to mimick the desktop OS themes... I doubt you want these in games.
However, you could use QtQuick, here is for instance an example of integration with a 3d game engine: https://github.com/MaxSavenkov/nya_qt
And another which integrates with the creative coding framework openFrameworks: https://github.com/aklevy/ofUnderQml ; doing for instance a HUD à la Scaleform with these is fairly realistic given the nice scene graph of QtQuick

Maybe as a counterpoint to your Laravel statement. I started using Laravel on some work projects at 5.3 and have upgraded them up to this weeks release of 5.6 without major issues or time spent doing so. I don't know much about the versions before that though. Other than it's not your grandfather's PHP along the bad habits from the early 2000's. I personally think my Laravel code has been pretty clean and concise.

The argument for breaking up these companies is not based on punishing them for wrongs. Instead, it’s based on the idea that they have so much manifest power that their natural order of business inherently has the effect of “abuse of monopoly (monopsony) power”, regardless of any ‘unfair intent’.

Take Google as an example: they provide a large number of incredibly valuable services to the public (in my opinion). The cost for those services is a vast centralized surveillance system that cannot be reasonably avoided by basically anyone taking part in the first world economy. If Google we’re less hegemonic, then there would be at least a chance for alternatives that don’t either knock you out of contemporary society or simply change the nameplate on the panopticon to exist.

An exception that proves the rule here is DuckDuckGo: it’s a scrappy, functional search engine that lets people opt out of part of Google’s oversight —- except that it doesn’t; the remainder of Google is still in so many aspects that it can effectively bypass the loss of personal data that goes to search. If YouTube, Gmail, and AdSense were also separate blocks, though...

There is no such thing under US law. A REIT must have at least 100 separate owners, and no group of 5 can own more than 50% in the second half of a given tax year.
And yet, they benefit the most from lobying, taxes and profits, and dictate and have dictated the market for decades. They drain entire countries, they extract all their resources, most of their water, they pollute and are responsible for the extinction of entire ecosystems and quite a few human deaths. Imagine, they've done all of that without knowing exactly where you are and what you are doing right now.

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but...

Despite this is clearly an intermediate situation and things are not definitive... This looks good. Very good.

Think about it:

1- unemployment fell straight down (it's easier to find a job)

2- housing prices fell down (it's easier to afford a better house, and easier to buy one!)

3- employers have lost a source of low-wage workers and are now rising hourly wages

So, so far it's easier to find a job, you get to get paid more and you have to spend less on housing (which is usually one of the bigger cuts of your salary).

Of course, the same old argument: "Locals worry about who will care for the elderly and wait on tables in restaurants if migrants continue to leave". With rising salaries and plummeting housing prices, locals will probably approach those jobs again. If you can make a good living where you were born, some will likely stay.

-----------

Excerpts from the link, relative to the above points:

1- "Unemployment has fallen to 3.6%, below the national and regional levels, allowing some workers to drive harder bargains."

2- "Demand for low-end rented properties has fallen. In Harrogate, prices in this segment grew at half the regional average between 2014 and 2017"

3- "Though real median wages in Harrogate have not changed much since 2014, at the lower end they have risen by 9%"

If we have to look at the facts... This looks good, imho. For UK people, of course.
In some respects, if human development followed the cane toad, we would become virtually indestructible. As children, we would use them as cricket balls and some would still hop away afterwards. We found that inserting lit penny bungers into them was an effective way of terminating. Freezing them was also effective, but your mother tended to object to them being in the freezer.

What was disturbing about them was the size that some would grow to. I personally have seen one that was about 20 cm (8 inches) high. I have heard of them being much larger.
