Opps, I forgot the Norwegian[1]. Well, 30.8% of 8% of 10.7% is a pretty low number and assumes that the 8% is an even distribution over the White poverty rate.

This is incredibly sad to read. I wish this government would take a zero-tolerance to racism (like they do with 'terroism'), but we seem to be regressing lately.
It’s ridiculous how acceptable it has become for everybody to bully Russia.
A few potential use cases:

- Compile once, run anywhere for low-level languages like C++. With limitations, of course.

- More debugging capabilities. Maybe it could be used for dynamic analysis. Theoretically it should be possible to change code at runtime.

- Something like Valgrind? Valgrind is really complex and doesn't run on Windows at all. It seems like you could make a portable substitute with this.

- Maybe GraalVM can be used to provide additional memory safety guarantees, not sure.

Kind of hard for me to say because I don't actually know exactly what GraalVM provides, so it's kind of a guess. But it does seem like there are some genuine use cases beyond the neatness of it.
You might enjoy using ltrace! It does pretty much what you're looking for. (Although it only shows calls into dynamic libraries and not other internal function calls, as far as I know. Maybe that's different if you have debugging symbols in the binary?)
You are already required to register for VAT as a non EU company and that’s one of the many ways in.

By that logic, any EU company is also subject to the tax laws of every other jurisdiction in the world, whether or not it has any presence there. No doubt the governments of all the other countries seeking to impose sales taxes and the like would be in favour of that. Anyone hoping to start a small business selling online would probably take a different view, though, so if you want people to be able to start new businesses, your national governments in the EU had better be on their side on this one.
Jill Bolte Taylor – Stroke of Insight
Can you point to an example of parallel construction being (successfully) used as a defense in an insider trading case? If the prosecution can prove that you had insider knowledge, it seems like the availability of non-insider knowledge isn't relevant because literally everyone has access to non-insider knowledge (that's the definition of what makes insider knowledge--that not everyone has access to it).

I've heard of parallel construction being used to prosecute in criminal cases with illegally-collected evidence, but never as a defense. That said, I'm not a lawyer and I don't follow case law in that much detail, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if this has happened.
The giant straw man in this discussion is your original statement: it's hardly a panacea with perfect incentives

Who said it was? People responded to you, giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you actually were making some kind of point. But you're not saying they're bad... you're not saying they shouldn't be part of a retirement portfolio...

Apparently you're literally just saying "they're not a panacea"? I think everyone is in agreement here then, nothing to see here.
I interpreted your “which was the supplier’s fault, of course” as sarcasm, from using the same phrase for Ireland. Poe’s law strikes! If in fact you weren’t being sarcastic, then I apologize.

It’s true that Apple benefitted cost-wise, but note that this deal was generally available (in direction, if not magnitude) to most of Qualcomm’s customers, so I was more making the point that Apple wasn’t particularly special in taking the best deal on offer; they’re more unusual in fighting against Qualcomm.
Yeah, the documentation should probably reflect that. It works like shallow two-way binding, but it implemented differently. Instead of using observers on the data itself, it uses an event, thus maintaining a cleaner interface between the components and avoiding the performance problems and bugs that come with two-way binding.

`v-model` is just a syntax sugar to save you from typing `v-bind:value="val" v-on:input="val = $event.target.value"` over and over. Nothing more than that.
I omitted the part where you don't just kill a homeless person to take his organs and save 5 other people. Of course due process has value.

> On one hand, when many sites use jQuery (for example), there’s huge benefits (bandwidth, speed, etc) in having it loaded from one location relatively infrequently and cached for many pages.

Does it really decrease bandwidth usage and load times? Is there a study that looked at that specifically in recent months or is it just a assumption? I'm getting the feeling that including common JS libraries is on the decline and more and more developers are using node.js packages that are built into their frontend code. Not to mention that there are quite a few CDNs that are basically providing the same service for the most common frameworks and are thus detrimental to this theory.
Offtopic: does your username mean "between moves" or "between trains"? I guess the former because iirc it would be "züge" for the plural of trains. Or perhaps it's just "between-move" as a noun, but I have no clue what that would mean.
i don't know about "useless".

scientific computing, for instance -- you may have a weird set of dependencies for some code that you want to deploy a copy of on 200 slightly heterogeneous nodes, once, and hopefully never again; but, it's vitally important that people in the future have the possibility of replicating your computation.

containers are the perfect solution for this. in fact, in my experience they essentially do fix a broken culture around reproducibility of computational experiments.

The primary purpose of a shell is not scripting. It's meant to be interactive. Powershell is too heavyweight to be be a good daily driver for a shell.

> Step 0: Forget trading on the stock market. You will lose.

This does not have to be the case. I don’t mean to encourage people not to invest in index funds (passive indexing is generally the best idea!), but if they’re going to try it anyway, it’s not helpful to simply declare it to be unprofitable from the outset. Your guide is well tailored for people who want to pursue consistent, modest gains on their capital beyond what inflation will gradually eat away.

If someone with the right technical skills wants to generate a profit that consistently beats the market, they can do so with two caveats: 1) they will have significantly less capital than institutional funds, and 2) they will have to engage in the research and deployment of trading strategies on their own (as opposed to with the support of a full infrastructure and team). But profiting in the market is, at its core, a game of identifying price inefficiencies. Prices become more efficient through greater information diffusion and greater liquidity. If you have data that is not available in the broader market, you can make forecasts with an edge over what e.g. the aggregate analyst consensus suggests.

In essence, programmers can take advantage of their smaller capital capacities to utilize strategies that might not be given as much attention by larger funds, because they’ll become capacity constrained much sooner (i.e. won’t scale). A software engineer who finds, collects and curates a source of data entirely on their own that maps directly to the revenue of particular companies (or more abstractly, to the future price of particular securities) can do well reliably. It’s not easy (or everyone would do it), but if you’re determined and understand what’s required, you can do it.

I outlined how this can be done in several steps in an HN comment just yesterday:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16349011

This is not to say that you should abandon index funds and try to beat the market. But if you’re already inclined to try, you might as well hear this advice and a gentle caution that it’s very difficult instead of hearing “don’t do it, you’ll lose” over and over. Some people will want to actively trade to be contrarian, or because they enjoy the intellectual challenges (there are plenty!), or simply because they think they can profit. They might as well go into it clear-eyed.
A Journey to less than 10% error rate (2017)
Hmm. Definitely an interesting idea. Downside: manage to e.g. swap a 12V and 48V line and while an 48V component shouldn't be damaged by 12V, a 12V component which does not have a voltage regulator in front will get fried. It's nasty enough with a truck with dual voltage and trailers - a 24V trailer will at least be recognizable as the lights will simply have a dimmer light but a 12V trailer on a 24V truck means hours of swapping every goddamn tiny light bulb. Add a 3rd voltage into the mess and the potential for chaos multiplies...
If you hold ETFs sure, but most people are holding the mutual fund equivalents that only trade at the end of each day.
"none of us really understand what consciousness is - we all "know it when we see it""

I don't think that's as solid an assumption as your comment makes it sound. We all know magic when we see it, yet it doesn't exist. Many of us recognise when something "feels pain" even if it's a cuddly toy, or recognise "evil presence in the room" when it's gas poisoning or sleep paralysis or biped-shaped-shadows and low frequency sound.

Many of us think we see a level of intelligence where there is none, in perception of God or Evolution "designing" creatures or "coming up with clever solutions", and many refuse to recognise some level of intelligence in humans in cases where they use good reasoning but get the wrong answer, or do something dumb from using the wrong reasoning, and we have ethical/medical arguments about whether people in comas and similar locked-in syndromes are conscious and aware or not, and whether any plants are.

We have continual newspaper headlines along the lines of "scientists recognise {Dolphins, Elephants, $animal} is more intelligent than previously thought" - if we simply "know it when we see it", it should be pretty clear what creatures are conscious and which aren't.

Certainly we can recognise people-like-us as conscious, but to get "enough examples of different kinds of consciousness" we'd have to be able to know it when we see it, and I'm not sure we do.

Chinese cities have grown tremendously large metro systems in a very short amount of time. China has 5 of the 10 longest metro systems, and 4 of them were started operating in the 90s or later. The Nanjing metro is the 6th longest in the world and was started running in 2005.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems#List

So the answer is a resounding yes, it is much easier to build metro systems than it was in the past. As long as you do so in China.

> Mastery of what? Most of them are trivia questions. They don't concern any fundamental knowledge or capability, just familiarity with some arbitrary aspect of browser's working or even a particular JS library.

I can think of a lot of cases in front-end programming where knowing the volumes of trivia is very important/useful and can very well be considered a job in itself (and often is).

It's precisely the reason why I'm moving away from most of it for the time being, because I feel it's just too much trivia and too little 'fundamental knowledge or capability'. The latter ages well, the former doesn't.

However, I don't think they're just trivia questions. If you want to create a web app that supports a good range of devices, multiple browsers on these devices, and all the various quirks that exist until this moment, do you really want your 'master' developers to memorize this trivia? The same goes for CSS and its quirks, and quite a lot of js/dom stuff. It's getting better, but there's still a staggering amount of trivia to learn, and there's immense value in the kind of person who would willingly learn all this.

I don’t think the GDPR is as difficult as you suggest. The biggest problem companies seem to struggle with is this idea that the personal data they keep isn’t theirs and they need to protect it like anything else in their possession that isn’t theirs.

You keep writing things like this, and I'm not going to just post the same reply every time, so let's try another one here.

Let us assume for the sake of debate that Privacy Shield will at some point be struck down by the courts, like Safe Harbor before it, since the fundamental objections involving US government access have not changed.

At that point, please explain the conditions under which an EU business can share PII with a US business without violating the GDPR.
That depends on what "this problem" is -- lots of people here would say that the problem is websites that depend on unaudited, untested 3rd party resources.

I'd tend to agree. I spent two years in KCMO even there found the stark black/white racism to be blatant (I'm white and I lived just east of Troost, actually really enjoyed it). I've left for a variety of reasons, aside from the weird race relations.

For those not in the know, Troost is the major divide between the black and white regions of the city. Interestingly, these divisions seem to exist all over urban America: https://demographics.virginia.edu/DotMap/index.html
Yes, I agree reading back it sounds rather weak.

That said, maybe the differences comes down to: are we being drawn in through manipulation to post beyond what we otherwise would have wanted to, for the benefit of others? To an extent, this is what karma is.
Coherence is the main measure I'm proposing. It's true that the Soviet Union and the British Empire did not cohere. They no longer exist, and in that sense, they failed. If the Union had not won the Civil War, the US would have been reduced to a rump of itself as a nation-state. Nations and empires that don't want to fail should cohere.

Empires and nation states are not the same thing (although they have similarities). All empires be definition attempt to unite disparate peoples and nationalities, usually under the dominance of one or two groups that initiate the expansion. (Russians in the case of the Soviets; English in the case of the British.)

Nation-states often encompass far fewer peoples. The etymology of the word nation is related to the Latin word for birth, and implies that a people share a lineage. This is especially evident among the smaller nations of Europe, where you often have something close to ethnic and linguistic unity. The breakdown of empires into many nation states often involves purges like we saw with the Armenian genocide (Ottoman), and, in a sense, the Balkan Wars (Hapsburg/Tito's Yugoslavia).
