Anecdotally, when camping I often wake up shortly before dawn when temperatures have dropped.

I imagine that poor thermal regulation and lower serotonin in the early morning is partly the reason for waking up early. I wonder if this is a hold over from our early days as a species; as hunter gatherers it would be advantageous to be up and awake before it's light out.
Data caps are equivalent to an horribly designed token bucket, where the tokens are all added at once at the beginning of each month. Using a proper token bucket policer/shaper should be much better at preventing spectrum saturation.
These guys also have an implementation[1] of OpenGL that’s optimized for Metal, and supports more modern OpenGL than Apple’s pathetic “frozen in time” implementation. Sadly it’s not open source, but I suppose a company’s gotta make money somehow.

Such a shame that such essential support for hardware that comes with every Mac apparently needs to be provided by a third party.

From another hand you have language driven by needs of mature and complex products/company/engineers, and not by random people who decided to use dart today for some hobby project or soon-to-die startup, and then will switch to another hotness next month.
Sure, and it is one of the main reasons those professions require licensure. It seems to me that most people in the industry would like to avoid that for software development. Speaking purely for myself, I would welcome it. But it would be a large and disruptive change that we may not be ready for.
It's not just China. Being able to publicly yell "Fuck the $RULER" is an anomaly in human history, not the norm.

In the US, the current party in power is always on the verge of instituting totalitarianism. My plan is to start worrying about it when people face systematic government consequences for actually mouthing off about the ruling party. Right now, to a first approximation, nobody has in a long time. Any examples that anxious partisans will rush to contradict me will simply further demonstrate my point with how minor and unsystematic they are in the US.

(If anything gets you in trouble in 2018, it's not mouthing off about the ruling party, it's pissing off the social media mob. That may yet be something we have to culturally reckon with, but it remains the case that it's not the government doing it.)

This is one of the fundamental problems with our model of capitalism (which is based upon money that can be created out of thin air): demand, want, need, greed all must go up for it to work. Everything has to inflate, whether it is natural or artificially.

> One million people get green cards each year in the US.

Is a blanket statement. The topic is about skilled immigration. Majority of US green cards are family based.

> Immigrants and their children are now 27% of the US population.

Immigrants from 1800s maybe ?

> Show me the numbers on China.

China has just started. I dont think there is any data yet. Even if there is, wont be easy to find.

> Why is Canada only 1% hispanic? Because they restrict immigration overwhelmingly by skill.

No they don't. They encourage both. Express Entry is for the skilled ones, family based quotas parents and siblings in addition to asylum and refugees. Isn't that how immigration is supposed to work ?

> How's that for treating people with dignity?

Canada have temporary worker visas similar to H1B. They issue the spouses of those temporary skilled workers with open work permit. Dignity & freedom from the day one they land in Canada. There are no carrots in Canada for temporary skilled workers. If you satisfy Express Entry points which you almost will, you can apply for permanent residence. Your permanent residence is not under the control of your employer master. Canadian employers cant threaten your Express Entry application. You wont have to wait 10 years or get kicked out of the queue if you change jobs or gets fired while being on H1B.

Those who come to Canada as students get a post graduate work permit. No lotteries, no quotas and can apply to express entry and become residents unlike those unfortunate master degree holders who are at the mercy of their employer masters and waiting 10 years for their GreenCards.

The fact that open work permits are issued for spouses of temporary skilled workers in Canada proves that temporary workers are treated with dignity in Canada than H1B workers in the US.

Are the points above dignifying enough ?

I think 'dragontamer read the question as "why does the photon move away from it at the speed of light?" (as I did). There isn't really an answer to that question, since it's just the way the universe works.

Saying that the laws of the universe don't (or can't) have explanations is not the same as saying they are intuitive to everyone. Ultimately, some of those facts you just have to accept. It is extremely difficult to have any useful analogy or explanation that attempts to explain why light always travels at the speed of light in any reference frame.

The consequences can definitely be explained well, but the fundamental laws really can't.

EDIT:

John von Neumann's quote about math reflects my view about this kind of fundamental physics:

So, the GDPR is doing you a favour by forcing you to think in advance "who will my users be?". So far web applications were "accidentally" global, now you have to be more careful and deliberate. Which is a good thing.

I like the concept. IMO, the keys are going to be 1.) Showing how you differ from Slack 2.)simplifying, I'm already overwhelmed but I get what you are trying to do. and 3.)Ubiquity of the templates. Make it easy to make, clone, share, track them.

Edit: A few small quips. Audit how you use the word public. That's going to scare people. I assume you mean make the channel read/write for other members of my slite, not the public at large.

Someone else had this idea in the comments, I would also second the motion that adding controlled fields (select from drop down) could help with templates.

Good luck!

I kind of disagree and agree at the same time. I'd recommend that a new trainee start with simple bodyweight stuff* but for different reasons: it's an excellent teacher of proprioception, which is one of the things that couch-to-barbell people like myself tend to lack, and it's now starting to bite me in the ass now that my numbers have grown more respectable and that I can find myself squatting 450lbs with ease but having a hard time doing unweighted lunges.

*to be fair, I'd recommend that a new trainee start with anything but barbell stuff. Simple bodyweight training 3-4 times a week, playing a real sport once-twice a week and doing some form of cardio twice a week should be the starting point of any athletic career, at least for 3-6 years. I started training with people who had an athletic past like this and they blew past me at an incredible speed progress-wise, and ended up stronger, healthier and in better shape than I ever was.
The EU is going to dissolve under it's own regulatory weight. The GDPR is tactical incrementalism of "compliance" procedures. If it lasts long enough people will realize it's not about making them more free.

Vodafone to install 4G network on the moon
You might want to reflect a bit more closely on what Jevron's paradox actually is. It is not related to the cost of the final product.

Take air; it is essentially infinite and free. We use vast quantities of air in every aspect of our life. We use it in cars, in households, in computing, we breath it, we rely on their being a few km of the stuff above us to maintain pressure, etc. It is so abundant it gets a bit silly to talk about how essential it is to our way of life. Use of the stuff is almost certainly growing exponentially with population.

Believe it or not, but raw electricity is more useful than air. Humans would happily use vast amounts of electricity 24x7x365 our entire lives if it is available. As price goes down, usage should be spiking. Rather than Jevron's paradox being broken it is much more likely that some combination of

* Supply is tightening

* Real prices rising

* Something is badly wrong with the economy

is affoot.

What about the logs from queries submitted via the HIBP website form?

"Another idea I'm toying with is to use the Cloudflare Workers John mentioned earlier to plug directly into Blob Storage. Content there can be accessed easily enough over HTTP (that's where you download the full 500M Pwned Password list from) and it could take out that Azure Function layer altogether. That's something I'll investigate further a little later on as it has to potential to bring cost down further whilst pumping up performance."

How to read this? The full list will be downloadable? Users can do queries locally on the 500M file instead of over the internet? It would be nice to avoid having to submit queries over an untrusted network (the internet), but I doubt that is what is being considered in this paragraph.

Well you usually need at least two-three dynos plus a database. This takes the price to $100-$125 / mo which is still a good savings over hiring a sysadmin.

Generation and transmission, at least, are auctioned to the lowest bidder through RTOs. Collusion to inflate prices is prohibited. The RTOs are the industry self-regulating, but post-Enron the industry is under a lot of scrutiny and nobody wants the government to take over regulation. The resource (electricity) is completely fungible, so providers can only compete on price. So at least at the generation/transmission levels, I think competition might actually prevent what you're predicting.

It's worth noting that generation occurs in different groups based on how expensive it is to increase or lower output, which is necessary constantly because usage fluctuates cyclically:

1. Hydroelectric is cheapest to scale up and down, so there's incentive to inflate prices and wait for high-usage times, especially when water levels are low.

2. Fossil fuels are mid-price to scale up and down, so there's some incentives for inflating prices, but fuel prices are also a factor.

3. Nuclear is extremely expensive to scale up and down, so there's incentive to try to always be the lowest price. Turning off and on is sometimes more expensive than selling generation at a loss.

4. Wind/solar are cheap to scale up/down, but are weather/time dependent and therefore unpredictable and uncontrollable to an extent. You can scale down cheaply by dumping energy into the ground, but you may not be able to scale up at any cost.

It should be clear from this how important hydroelectric is to our power system's pricing. Nuclear/wind/solar often result in the most competitive generation costs, but if hydroelectric goes up in cost, nuclear would have to scale generation up and down more often at great cost. When wind/sun are good, there's competition for flexibility, but when they aren't, hydroelectric controls the price of adjusting generation. So I think that if companies adjust their numbers up to maintain profits, it will mostly be hydroelectric generation.

I don't understand the effects of wind/solar on the market as well, because they weren't as large a sector when I worked at an RTO. However, I am under the impression that efficient energy storage would have a large impact on allowing wind/solar to compete with hydroelectric on ability to scale up/down. And this is urgent, because the inflated cost of hydroelectric's scaling is capped at the cost of fossil-fuel scaling, which is only going up in price in the long run.
You're right. There's a fair number of original examples there as well. Still, there's a lot of overlap.
I remember reading in a Michael Lewis book (Big Short maybe?) that Wall Street hires from the SEC and Rating Agencies in-order to know the in's and out's better as well as get better treatment.

Hence the implication in the book that those who stay behind at the SEC and Rating Agencies are not wanted by the banks.

Seems like they're copying from those who came before them.
