Some actual numbers

IBEW local 82 journeyman electricians union rate in Ohio $29.05/hr

IBEW local 234 journeyman electricians union rate in California $71.36/hr

Of course I'm not sure the education level or IQ of the typical electrician is much different than than the typical software developer with respect to the lower education specification; however it does seem likely that labor costs in CA for similar work are currently about 147% higher than Ohio costs.

According to Zillow "The median home value in Salinas is $436,900" and "The median home value in Dayton is $57,300" for a journeyman electricians income, you'll be one of the poorest people in the highest crime neighborhood in CA, or live in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city if you live in Ohio. Given the choice of top or bottom 10% of neighborhoods and amenities, I'd certainly rather live in Ohio. This probably cascades thru every career path.

Nice one for the indie developer. It looks like the PIA can take more time to get right than your actual program..
> Lists with more than 2^32 elements are not unheard of.

In the use cases Dart targets yes, yes they are. They are extremely unheard of.

BUT even if they aren't, you can't use those from dart2js anyway. JS arrays are limited to uint32 lengths:

"Every Array object has a length property whose value is always a nonnegative integer less than 2^32"

https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.4

Now sure you could make your own list type that lets you index to 2^53 in Dart, but you're into custom list territory now and math operations on a 64-bit long being a bit slower than native is unlikely to be relevant. You're probably not using flat indexing at that point anyway.

File offsets actually highlights the perfect problem with dart's approach. 2^53 isn't enough to interop with file systems using uint64s, as node.js discovered when trying to use JS Number for inodes ( https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12115 ) So things that actually need large numbers don't work anyway.
It's probably not a great fit for making games, a lot of the benefits are in quickly generating and updating more standard UIs, not 100% custom drawing like games usually require (although you can do custom drawing of course).

> California is also losing residents by discouraging migration via high taxes.

California, despite high and progressive income taxation, has net in-migration at high income levels. If high taxes are keeping people out, it's things like gas taxes, road tolls, and sales taxes, that are regeressive relative to income.
In other words, not everyone involved is consenting to the things they're doing at runtime.
Google Shopping is no longer filtering all searches containing “gun”
That's not what the OP is talking about. Trying re-reading his comment.
Actually, you don't need to do that proof. The construction plans need to be signed off on by certified (government-accredited but still fully private practice, not even necessarily a different company) engineer. But the government doesn't look at those plans and check your work.

What happens instead is that you need to be inspected by the government before it's allowed to be occupied or put into use. And if it ever should happen that it does collapse, then the structural engineer who signs off on the plans faces criminal liability particularly in extreme cases (Kansas City Hyatt is the most memorable experience).

Who ever wants to play an ad bits for it against others who want to play ads for the same target group. Youtube takes its share and pays out the share of the content creator based on this price. Higher $ for content creators in the US just means that who ever wants to run ads in the US has to pay more money in the first place.
Otherwise developers will externalize the parking spot problems to nearby streets, which makes for unhappy residents. Even people who swear off cars might have friends, family or coworkers who might visit.

A proper way to go about it is to set up a permit-only parking zone, and then allow some high-density housing to be built with an explicit provision that they will never be eligible for parking permits. But that also kicks up enforcement costs.
Not Germany but at my company we wait about 5-6 minutes and if you don't show up for the meeting everyone drops off. Exceptionally rude to schedule something and expect people to wait. Doesn't happen again after everyone hangs up the first time.
The problem is not Newegg. The problem is the system of federal, state and local tax regimes that are in play. Since there is no uniformity at any level across the board, you will have these problems rise up.

Newegg and all companies that exist within the confines of the US national borders have a legal requirement to do certain things. This is no different to what the citizens are legally required to do.

If the state imposes a "use tax" on your purchases then you are required to follow that up. If the legal requirements are that companies are to give the purchase records to the state authorities, then that is what will happen.

Just because you find it objectionable is irrelevant.

However, if you want to start a grass-roots objection to these tax regimes then start with your local, state and federal politicians. Make it plain that they will no longer be getting the popular vote and that their cushy jobs will be taken from them permanently.

But, as you most likely know this will not happen and the situation will not change as the general populous has no interest in the matter.

I suspect Texas will wish it had California's problems in a decade. California is experiencing a brain gain [1] as the best and the brightest relocate to the state en mass. Texas is meanwhile experiencing a brain drain by experting college educated and college-seeking citizens en masse. A quick look at industries in decline (oil, coal, meat) and industries on the rise (automotive, tech, healthcare) does not suggest that Texas is the place to be or that these people leaving for Texas are doing so voluntarily.

The article is an advocacy piece andit turns out isn't telling the entire story. The rules are described here:
https://www.tva.gov/Energy/Valley-Renewable-Energy/Dispersed...

There are 3 options:

>Self-Generation
The electricity produced serves the facility’s needs first. Any excess electricity is delivered to the power grid without payment. If the facility needs additional electricity, it must be bought from the local power company.

>Self-Generation and Dispersed Power Contract
The electricity produced serves the facility’s needs first. TVA purchases any excess electricity that is delivered to the grid. If the facility needs additional electricity, it must be bought from the local power company.

>Dispersed Power Sell-All Contract
All of the electricity produced and delivered to the power grid is sold to TVA. The facility buys all of its electricity from the local power company. (Two meters—one for electricity purchased by the customer from the local power company, and one for electricity generated by the customer and sold to TVA—are required.)

No.

Though it might contradict an incorrect inference about the point, which is not “this effect is getting worse” but “this effect exists, and here is a detailed breakdown”.
That's exactly the problem. There's no reliable way to construct a cohort of "similar" patients. We don't even know all the variables other than provider quality which impact the outcome of knee surgery. Do we have to consider age? Genetics? Sex? Fitness level? Co-morbid conditions? Blood Type? Personality? Something else? That data simply doesn't exist, and won't exist in our lifetimes.

With large enough populations some of those confounding variables even out. But that doesn't help when trying to evaluate individual providers who treat relatively small numbers of patients per year.

Of course in any area all of the local doctors know from subjective experience and word-of-mouth which other doctors are skilled and which are quacks. But none of them will say so publicly, and you can't quantify those opinions.
YouTube don't directly determine how much ad revenue a creator receives. Advertisers bid to place their ads next to content based on keywords and viewer demographics; the creators receive a 55% share of whatever the advertiser paid.

American viewers are generally the most lucrative, in part because of the share of YouTube Red revenues that creators are eligible to receive. A great deal depends on other contextual and demographic factors. YouTube do indirectly influence the revenue that creators receive by tagging certain videos as "not suitable for most advertisers". This is a substantial bone of contention in the YouTube creator community.
An unknown company by definition is unable to offer what they just listed, namely, that they know and trust that all of that really is there at the quality they expect.

It may claim these things and might actually have them, but any company or sysadmin must spend significant time, effort and thus cost to investigate and verify if that really is true, at least until they have established a solid reputation and aren't an unknown company anymore. And there should be some reason to spend this cost in reviewing and considering them if more established options are available; if other factors are equal, then the more widely used service is better for various reasons, so if they aren't promising some nontrivial improvement over AWS, why bother?
If the company does offer all that, how are they still unknown?

Your intention and how you actually use the data are critical to an entity's compliance with the GDPR. If I am only using IP addresses for legitimate purposes of monitoring/protecting my network then that is very different to using IP addresses to assist in my tracking of users for advertising purposes for example.

The classification of data of personal data is likely beyond dispute but you are then under obligations on how you actually make use of that data.

Entities should have in place relevant protective measures to ensure that if you have only collected data for a limited purpose, it should not be used for purposes beyond that.
The best answer!
No, that is not "all I've pointed out." I specifically addressed the change in production. My point is that I doubt renewable will scale sufficiently, and that tradition modes of production will likely see an expansion.

That there will be an expansion (renewable or otherwise) to meet the coming demand is beyond question. The current power excess is a temporary situation. The eventual (and IMO inevitable) conversion of petroleum-based transportation to electric will require more capacity than our grid can presently provide.

In terms of the "hunting snake theory", perhaps it's a radiation-vs-convection thing?

Supposing your body has the same amount of waste-heat per second and the whole system has reached a steady state, perhaps less of it would be leaving as infrared light (detectable by some snakes' "pit organ") and a greater proportion would be leaving via the upward rise of warmed air.
Followup on an earlier discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16474102

Earlier today it was noticed that Google Shopping was filtering all searches containing the string "gun" (and various other firearm-related terms). This led to some amusing issues where search terms like "burgundy" were being blocked as well. As the day went on, the filter first was adapted to not apply to phrases that were part of words, but was still being applied to the word "gun" in isolation. As of an hour or so ago, it looks like the filter has been disabled. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future and if there will be any official statement from Google.
The importance of quantum computers is not the absolute clock speed, but rather the ability to reduce previously exponential problems into sub exponential complexity.

For example take the classic attacks on DLP -- instead of essentially manually factoring the keys we can create a program (Shor's algorithm, etc) that essentially treats the problem of factoring as the task of determining the base frequencies of the key when treating the public component as a wave (at least as I understand it).

On an ideal quantum computer that task should be polynomial complexity, although there's still some (hopefully small) probability of error, but basically you just repeat many times and use a classical computer to verify the solution.

On the flipside of that I've seen patio11 specifically tell the tarsnap guy to charge more, while his product already costs $0.25/GB while GCP Cloud Storage Nearline and S3 Infrequent Access are $0.01/GB (and falling each year). When I was recently looking at backup solutions I immediately discounted tarsnap due to the pricing.
No. The things I listed are reasons I am hesitant to work with a company I am unfamiliar with.

To be considered you have to have everything listed, and be clearly better than AWS. Better shouldn't be defined as cheaper, but by a higher quality product. It's hard to define that without knowing exactly what service you provide.

But that's not what most of the data shows. The bulk of the data shows lower-income, lower education Californians moving out. The strongest peak is for minimum wage incomes.

While middle class incomes are still shown as leaving CA, it's far less than those at the lower end. For me the starkest and most concerning contrast is not wealthy vs. poor, but young vs. old.

I use state machines all the damn time. Am I, then, no developer?

Maybe you meant to say that only competent developers use state machines. But that would place you outside their august company, leaving us little reason to credit your observation. In that world, the absence of state machines in one's code would reliably indicate incompetence.

But in fact, by definition, there is no computer program on God's green Earth that is not a state machine. Programming languages were created specifically to make the state machines they compile down to look more intuitive and less like, you know, state machines.

So the observation is really that our programs usually look the way they were intended to look, except when we abuse our language in pursuit of performance, elegance, or other consensual delusion.
On somewhat similar note dfsch implements tail calls by essentially throwing C-level exception (the VM contains somewhat ugly C macrology that implements exception handling in C in a way that is somewhat similar to WinAPI's exceptions, this is then used to implement TCO, tagbody and condition system). The implementation is arguably ugly, but the end result is that anything that you can do in scheme code you can also do in C native functions.

Worst case usage determines what information is subject to GDPR, but actual business use-case is what determines what data you are allowed to collect.

IP addresses are subject to GDPR, but that just means that you have to have either a legitimate business need for keeping them or to have the user's consent to keep them and you need to disclose to the user that you are keeping them and for how long.

You probably do have a legitimate need to keep IP address logs for some period of time to allow troubleshooting and possibly for a longer period of time to allow for fraud detection. As long as you are disclosing to the user that you are collecting that information and are abiding by the retention period that you are disclosing to users, then you will be allowed to collect logs of IP addresses.
