I call it "evidence based government" to match evidence-based medicine. But it is one of the things I'd most like to see happen, because the real world seems like far too small an influence on politics nowadays.
> There's still no way for those sources to cryptographically disprove any collusion

Honest question, do blockchains do this? My understanding is that blockchains operate under the assumption that collusion is common and bad actors are rampant and are designed to mitigate it, not that they can prove collusion is not happening.

Hypothetically, if every mining node provided a real-world value in every broadcast, then wouldn't the consensus mechanism operate as an oracle just like the transactions operate as a ledger?
Aware about this. But if you could share some insights specific to this case it would really help.
Ah, interesting. I just assumed that's what they made it for.
ExFAT can be problematic due to corruption. I used to have an external HDD formatted to ExFAT plugged in on my raspberry pi. When crashes occured whilst having torrent open, the disk never fully recovered. I had to constantly run repairs.

For small drives e.g. USB sticks ExFAT is great but for larger drives I'd stay away from ExFAT.

> I go to Amazon when I know what I want.

This part is probably going to be Amazon's undoing if they don't change their ways. If I'm buying a charger and know what I want, I really cannot safely buy from Amazon. It is much safer to buy from a Best Buy in that situation.
> I go to a store when I need staff to tell me what I want.

Or eventually, you and everyone will skip the store trip by asking Alexa on the Amazon Echo in your smart home.
You can run your own and follow who you want. What's more free than that?
I think I've read a about a dozen announcements like that stating that they are going to start having the cars drive without safety drivers, but all the videos I saw on Youtube still have safety drivers, that's why I asked.
I've never been fond of this line of argument, because (A) the concurring opinion of a future person is not a definitive source of authority, and (B) there is no way to verify or falsify such a prediction about opinions in the future.

Not saying I disagree with the overall point, and I personally would not feel comfortable murdering a fellow primate. Just saying I see this "future generations..." line of persuasive reasoning often and it usually jostles me in an unwelcome way.

I am also running a side business with a tight budget. Governance is free, and nowadays multiple sites are cheap. Create an identical setup, use replication, strong change controls, and test failover. Monitor replication failures. If you do it on an AWS instance it costs little until needed. I believe CPU can be scaled up or down as needed? Just pay for storage.

Also use solid versioning, tested backups, have a tested backout strategy with a secondary remediation path for all changes. Paranoia is cheap :-)

Someone might say, “It’s more work.” And paging engineers at 3am isn’t work? Would you rather burn out your engineers or have them relaxed and focused on responding to a replication issue at 2pm? :-) You know what they say about an ounce of prevention.

No palm oil for one. On top of the environmental problems, it looks like it is not great for your health either, so I avoid it.

The composition in general looks more healthy than Nutella and the taste is great so I did not really overthink this.
I'd love to read more on how you found those people. I completely agree that discoverability is a huge problem.
I’m not terribly privy to it because the DBAs manage it, but it’s some kind of Oracle replication like GoldenGate?

But replication is everywhere now. MySQL, rsync, whatever. Plenty of choices.
> Facebook will still have a lot of data on you, even if you don't use their services.

That doesn't mean you should not stop giving them even more information by you directly using their services.

There are various mechanisms to preventing tracking like using an ad blocker to prevent loading tracking elements, preventing 3rd party cookies from being set, using something like noscript to block javascript from facebook/google/etc, and using Tor. Many of these don't take long at all to configure.
Have any well designed human studies shown a particular intervention is associated with a significant increase in lifespan?

Call me skeptical, but we can't even treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and the leading cause of death in the US is still cardiovascular disease after decades of drug development

Plus, unless these drugs enable immortality I'd imagine they would just enable more people to live to older age, and then more people would get high cost illnesses

Sure I mean CBT teaches you to observe negative thought patterns and answer them rationally. Writing a journal or talking to a therapist helps you escape the mind. But clinical depression has physiological effects too so medication helps with that.
People and especially agricultural users don't pay anything like the true cost of water: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2015/03/the.... Charge everyone the same cost per liter or gallon or 1,000 gallons and you will find out what should actually be grown.
I'm not a wordsmith...

Plus, what would I write? It's kind of straightforward sexism.

2. White guy reapplies and only changes name/sex to appear female, receives responses within the week.

I could have also just changed my race and the experiment would have had the same results.

I'm not going to dive into your points about constraint solvers, type classes, or "monomorphization". Unless those things take more than a few percent of the compile time, they're just more red herrings.

> Incremental compilation is a way of addressing the compile time and memory usage issues. It's just not the way you seem to want them to be fixed. Nobody did incremental compilation for fun.

I'm well aware that my opinion doesn't matter, but I doubt incremental compilation will make any real strides towards making things as good as they could be. It sounds like the real problem is here:

> If I had to guess what the most important issue is, it's that idiomatic Rust generates a lot more LLVM IR than idiomatic C++ does

I suspect every single feature in idiomatic Rust has a one-to-one translation to some bit of C++ that isn't too horrible. You can do lambdas, iterators, generators, or whatever else it takes to do Rust style for loops and closures in C++, and it won't choke the compiler. So while I don't doubt rustc is generating a lot more IR, I doubt it needs to.

Maybe the MIR optimization pass will move in that direction.
Emergent patterns don't begin with a stated goal. They begin with seeds and fertile ground and existing need. You look back on it later and see from whence it arose.

I'm currently doing something very similar for my school project and it's been quite a journey, the OSM ecosystem sure isn't simple.

My current solution is based on OpenMapTiles and uses their stack for creating, and subsequently rendering, vector tiles. First, I obtain an extract of OSM data via the Overpass API. Then I convert it from XML to protobuf, as it's a much more efficient format. Afterwards I import it into a PostGIS database using imposm3 and define some SQL functions that transform that data. Then I generate some vector tile definition from the OMT format into tm2source format. After that I finally generate the vector tiles in mbtiles format using tilelive, server them as GeoJSON using tileserver-gl and style them using maputnik and mapbox-gl styles.

There seems to be some bug with imposm3 and relations, because I can't get them to import. Or I'm just not doing it right.

The 7 Best Java Frameworks for 2018
How is that different that other big retailers ? I mean, any chain here (Carrefour, Auchan, Lidl, Aldi, ...) have their own products brand too from foods to clothes to electronics, to whatever, and they have the same advantage for them as amazon have for theirs.

This has nothing special to do with amazon.
I remember a talk with either Elon Musk or Peter Thiel at MIT who was given one of these at the end of his talk (instead of the obligatory flowers)
Walmart carries a very narrow range of goods, and leaves tremendous room for local businesses to still exist. Amazon will compete with everything at any time.

Walmart doesn't carry criterion releases or foreign films, and there is potential for local art movie stores or houses to exist to fill the need. Amazon carries movies at a much lower price than a local business ever could, and streams them too, again at lower prices than a theater. They try an get their fingers into everything, even service-based businesses, while walmart just does low prices on a selection of goods.
If you take something like a RC Car store that sells drones, batteries, kits etc. as an example, I think you are right, though those stores still need to keep their prices in check. I have no problem paying more for something local that I can walk out with immediately, but if their price ends up too much higher, I just can't justify it.
I am not blaming anyone for anything I am saying that it could be argued that because of the anti nuclear protests which lead to much lest investments in this field which can be a reason why we don't see these things. Even if we take out that part the point still stands. There is a whole world of things we didn't get to explore because of the strong anti-sentiment towards nuclear.

Whether we would get a 1000 cost saving we don't know who know how other things would have developed if we had abundant and clean nuclear.

I will let people decide if they want to do disregard my view or not, don't need you to be the judge of that.
This type of behavior is actually extremely commonplace. These are the ones that were sloppy enough to get caught...
Consider:

- SpaceX, the company building the network, is the same company who can deliver the payloads.

- SpaceX is the only company who has re-usable rockets.

It's hard to argue that from an economics perspective this isn't an insane leapfrog type of event, assuming they can gather the necessary in-house chops to deliver good telecom service. Talk about an economic moat -- to compete on margin you'd first have to become a rocket company. And not just a rocket company but one who has technology to re-use rockets, which likely is a ways away from becoming replicated, nevermind commoditized to the point where it evaporates from costs.

And of course, presumably running a satellite network that is an order of magnitude larger than the nearest competitor in space right now is going to throw off a ton of opportunities to develop the know-how and technology to do so, that will further deepen the moat. It may turn out that the rocket program itself needs to develop specific capabilities to support the needs of the telecom network, which would further cement payload delivery to space as a necessary in-house service for a telecom network.

An an analogy, once Amazon starts delivering your packages and owns the entire delivery chain, I think we'll see a similar dynamic. Their service will be optimized off of the general case and holistically integrated into the entire supply chain, and to compete with Amazon on margin will mean you have to create UPS first.

today there is a pandemic of myopia . if we go to some graduate class of some university probably more than 50 percent are myopic , though some are wearing contacts or done laser . if we talk in terms of evolution or genetics , clearly these people would not have been able to function before the invention of specs , and that was may be a few centuries back . So it is not genetics but something in our environment . That that something is too much near-work for kids before around 20 years without any opportunity for the eyes to relax . We are all born with somewhat a smaller size eyeball . The body gets some feedback from the degree of accommodation from which it elongates just the right amount . I believe if kids wear weaker prescription , reduce near-work , incorporate some good habits like reading from an arms length and taking frequent breaks then myopia can be avoided or reduced . Myopia has a risk of retinal detachment , which can be fixed by laser if done within a few days . For high myopics doing strenuous work like lifting weights or running may be a risk factor .I believe wearing weaker glasses has many disadvantages , but it may reduce the progression of myopia for those kids who are prone to it.

Unfortunately, If you make something people need whilst paying your employees well you'll have to charge more than your competitors for it and most people simply will not buy it.We all pay lip service to wanting employees to be paid well (after all, we're all mostly underpaid employees ourselves) but the reality is that most people just want to stretch their meagre wages as far as possible. Which means compromising on quality, and ethicality.
You are right, no changes. With a change, most objects are still valid as cached and can result in similar speedup. I'm also wary of caching introducing bugs and intend to continue to CI without it as a safety net. May even require a no cache build before pushing commits.

The Sierra provide ample water and silt for the central valley that makes it one of the worlds ideal farming lands. It's been very actively farmed for more than 100 years.

Sure, the water situation has gone up and down with the drought, but normally there's plenty of water. A lot of the almond orchards had to be scaled back during the drought, but when there's water they use it. It's a lot more sustainable than many other farming lands because it's not dependent on an underground aquifer that took eons to fill up or water piped in from somewhere far away except for the urban areas of course.

Data. Amazon has a lot of data on consumer buying patterns

I have a folder of screenshots I keep of hilariously bad Amazon product suggestions. I have been a regular Amazon customer since the '90's and I can say with a high degree of confidence that their consumer data isn't that valuable. All the recommendations that make sense are directly off products, if I buy one flavour of food for my cats it will suggest another but hell, anyone can do that. It's not even smart enough to suggest other cat-related products.
That's untrue. I comment and post about a great many things. It is also essentially a gender based dismissal and personal attack.

Sad to see that even making the leaderboard as a woman fails to get community support when I need it in the face of ugliness of this sort. It's both ironic and maddening that your comment has gotten zero push back from the community though it is essentially evidence of the very thing I am criticizing.
People have been saying, "Amazon's gonna destroy their competition and then screw their customers with high prices any day now, just you wait!" for like a decade. We're still waiting for it to happen.

No sorry I see how that was confusingly worded... GOOG does not pay a dividend, much like BRK.A does not pay a dividend. I'm sure there are other stocks that don't, I just can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Majority of stocks pay dividends, but some double digit percentage do not.
The major question isn’t motive, it’s just “did you get caught...” and the modifier, “...publicly?” Even then it might not matter beyond some bad publicity; the UK still copies up to Russia for its gas suppply, and the murder of someone with a radiological weapon on UK soil didn’t stop that. The Israelis stole American nuclear material and secrets, and we’re still close.

Countries don’t have friends, they have interests, and allies.
I find it bizarre that you basically concede the ground that it is similar to a thought crime and feel no need to defend your stance that his memo should be classified as "anti-diversity."

According to http://waterfootprint.org/media/downloads/Report14.pdf it requires 140 liters of water to produce 1 cup of coffee. The most expensive source of water that I can think of, from a reverse-osmosis desalinization plant, costs $0.40/1000 liters in Singapore (Hyflux, 20 year contract), - so that cup of coffee has a ceiling of about $0.08/to produce in terms of the cost of it's water content.

The question should never be "how much water to produce this" - but, "what value are we getting from the water" - if you are able to sell a cup of coffee for $5, then it's probably a good investment of that $0.08.

With the latest updates to Windows 10, Win has been working stable lately.

The things I hate are:

- The anti malware service executable eating a lot of CPU

- Terrible, terrible terminal emulation even with the improved powershell window

- The crazy amount of committed memory. Even if you have 16-32 gigs of RAM, the OS still writes pagefiles to disk.

I used to hate that I couldn't customize the Desktop Environment to suit my needs. But with custom Autohotkey scripts it seems to me that sky is the limit.

The windows subsystem for linux is buggy, nevertheless it is usable and helps a great deal. Most gnu software for example Gnuapl compile and work OTB.

I've only witnessed one blue screen of death in the last month.

I should also note that I'm using an 8th gen desktop machine I've built with minimal hardware. Even with Spectre/meltdown patches I didn't experience any trouble.
Everything they do has an impact on their end goal/master plan, Mars.

They need to send thousands of ships to colonize Mars. This global sat internet service will require them to deploy tens of thousands of micro-sats to provide global internet. The revenue generated by said service will provide them the funding to build the said ships for Mars.

Oh and of course, the eventual solar system internet.
Pyro: Light up your Clojure stacktraces
I like JMESPath, but it has some serious limitations which prevent it from being as general purpose as jq.

JMESPath limitations:

- No simple if/else, but it is possible using a hack, documented below.

- The to_number function doesn't support boolean values, but it is possible using a hack, documented below.

- can't reference parents when doing iteration. Why? All options for iteration, [* ] and map, all use the iterated item as the context for any expression. There's no opportunity to get any other values in. May be possible for a fixed set of lengths. Something akin to the following (except there is no syntax for switching or if statements):

switch (length):
case 1: [expression[0]]
case 2: [expression[1], expression[1]]
case 3: [expression[0], expression[1], expression[2]]
...

- Key name can't come from an expression. Why? The ABNF for constructing key-value pairs is given as: keyval-expr = identifier ":" expression. The key is an identifier, which gives no possibility for making it an expression. No functions modify keys in such a way as to allow using an expression as a key.)

- No basic math operations, add, multiply, divide, mod, etc. Why? Nobody added those operators/functions.

- There's a join, but no split.

- No array indexing based on expression. Why? Indexing is done based on a number or a slice expression, which also doesn't support expressions. Here's the ABNF:

bracket-specifier = "[" (number / "* " / slice-expression) "]" / "[]"

- No ability to group_by an expression.

- No ability to get the index of an element in a list

Hacks:

Convert true/false to number:

boolean_expression && `1` || `0`

If/else:

Option 1)

[{q:CONDITIONAL_EXPRESSION, v:IF_RESULT_EXPRESSION},{q:!COND_EXPRESSION,v:ELSE_RESULT_EXPRESSION}][?q]|[0].v

Option 2)

{"if":CONDITIONAL_EXPRESSION, "ctx":@} | [{q:if ,v:ctx.IF_EXPRESSION},{q:!if,v:ctx.ELSE_EXPRESSION}][?q]|[0].v
