'winning' implies that there has to be someone 'losing' and I don't feel like that represents my view of my life though I do feel very satisfied.

I am very glad that I was able to purchase a modest house that I can work on and modify. I'm happy with designing and implementing solutions to the technical problems my job entails. I'm happy that I have the opportunity to save so that I have a financial cushion should many unexpected events occur.

And I don't think this situation requires anyone else to lose.

Now I would admit that I might not be and likely am not representative of everyone in our society but isn't that more of an attitude towards expectations than some sort of static rule? I might have the expectation that I should have a Ferrari and an attractive and doting partner, or a happy perfect family, but there is no reason my expectations justify hurting others.

I think if we look closer at social dysfunction in general we would see that the people lashing out have either unrealistic expectations or have someone been marginalized even beyond what we all might agree about as a baseline of expectations: that we have the opportunity to take part in society without being treated shabbily for no reason, that we are appreciated at some level by someone, and that we can be vulnerable and rely on others without being neglected or ostracized.

There will always be people who are naturally dysfunctional due to mental health issues but I have to think most of the worst problems society faces could be greatly reduced if we cared about each other more.
I run Linux (exclusively) on mine, and use tmux + i3wm + qutebrowser for pretty much everything so my hands never have to leave the keyboard! Maybe that's why I've never noticed the quality of the touchpad.. but now that you mention it, yea this is pretty awkward.

Stable 60 FPS on high setting here with Firefox 58, Linux, open source drivers (mesa-17.3.5) and an AMD Radeon RX 460 (passive).

So its neither a Linux nor an open source driver problem. Maybe your hardware is in fact not up to the job or you need to install some updates ;-)

Btw. I also tested chrome and as long as I run it with default settings I get around 3-5fps, but when I activate #ignore-gpu-blacklist in chrome://flags it reaches 60 fps there too.
To be more specific, the US government. Other governments seem to figure this stuff out, from time to time, but there's something about the FPTP, federal/state split or other such details that's sabotaged efforts here.

We should realize that it isn't a fundamental property of government, just the one we have and we have mechanisms for making changes that we haven't yet tried.

It's not that they charge more (though I don't have evidence they don't), it's just that international students almost always pay full price.

American students may receive financial aid either from the government, or the university itself (scholarship or other aid). International students on the other hand usually don't. They pay full price. They make universities, particularly private ones, a lot of money.

I went to a good but not top private college on scholarship. Some undergrad majors such as business and the graduate business school were overwhelmingly international students. The law school is approaching 50% international students.

That's because most religions have as their central tenet a completely unfalsifiable claim: that there is a god.
My personal theory is that there are currently a lot of people waiting for the stock market to crash. Which is why it might not going to crash anytime soon (see the dips beginning of the year).

Ugh I meant Godel. All of these mathematicians get me confused. Because of his incompleteness theorem, I'll have to leave your other question unanswered.
I don't think I've seen any convincing examples yet of how writing a new language or DSL is superior to the already-very-flexible idea of user-defined functions, supported by almost all languages. Isn't a DSL just syntactic sugar in most cases?

Functions are verbs, usually named in problem domain terms, that can operate on a huge variety of nouns (data) also namable in the problem domain. So I don't buy that existing languages can't represent the problem domain, or force programmers to only do things in machine or traditional-language terms.

Don't want to be a spoilsport either, glad people are researching and experimenting with new approaches - just not sure I'm convinced yet the "make a DSL for everything" idea seems all that promising or different from what we already do as programmers.
It’s from the frame of reference of the probe you make fuel calculations. The various observers don’t necessarily need to agree on the ordering of events (Relativity of Simultaneity), but they will always agree on the laws of physics, which are the same everywhere. If it takes a given amount of fuel to accelerate a mass to a given degree, everyone will agree on that point. It might take som calculation to make that clear to all of the observers, but they will agree regardless if some are in accelerating reference frames, and others inertial.
Ahead of its time would be one way to describe it. I highly recommend this essay https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/a3n8ea/how-sierra-an... on the development and politics of Police Quest 4.
Huh, this works in Safari but not in Safari Technology Preview. Weird.
That’s a really interesting point. I wonder if there’s any proper theoretical work done on this possibility.

My immediate, naive instinct is that by crossing this limit, the frame dragging effect, would be extremely powerful, to the point where it might increase the radius where Hawking radiation is formed/emitted and increase the rate of Hawking radiation to avoid passing the limit. A sort of self limiting process to prevent breaking the speed limit of c.

But in the time it took to write this out, I remembered angular momentum and realised that notwithstanding the additional angular momentum of the infalling mass, the conservation of angular momentum would just make the event horizon slower as it expands. Which makes the superluminal event horizon unlikely in my mind.

Miniature things are definitely attractive, I will give you that. But no one i have showed this to over the age of 13 was even slightly interested in actually purchasing them. They thought it was CUTE sure, but that doesnt mean theyre gonna dump money on a cute novelty. Maybe I just surround myself with dull people? Everyone here is making it seem like im some sort of robot for not seeing why the average adult would consider purchasing this as anything but a gift for a child....
Perhaps a more apt title would be "Who goes Nazi first?"
[Just speculation]

It could very easily have been a plane replacing one like N313P, or similar, outfitted with higher-performance engines.

Perhaps on a test flight to see how it handles. There are plenty of military landing spots up and down the west coast for a plane like that. An empty plane with big engines could go very fast, and maneuver quickly.

That'd be my best guess. If they had used a shell registration and transponder, the flight would still be tracked and then there'd be a flight record they don't want.

Here's an example of planes that are in this category, and it's not unheard of for a 737 to get souped up engines[1]: https://www.therenditionproject.org.uk/flights/aircraft/inde...

I've heard someone suggest that Roberta Williams being at the head of Sierra was one of the reasons why Sierra had so many games designed by women. People usually have trouble naming even one prominent woman game designer, but Sierra had several - in addition to Roberta Williams, you had Jane Jensen, Lori Cole (with her husband Corey), and Christy Marx. The first three made some of the most famous adventure game series of all time - King's Quest, Gabriel Knight, and Quest for Glory. Christy Marx isn't as well known, but her Conquest of Camelot and Conquest of the Longbow games are held in pretty high regard by those who have played them (worth noting that Roberta Williams' The Colonel's Bequest is similarly lesser known but still highly regarded).

+1 for Wald - MTW is great, but it's really dense, and takes some odd approaches that are not really common in the field. Wald stays lean and tight, while still covering the important stuff.

You'll probably find MTW a lot more approachable after working through a few less beastly texts.
Possibly, although it strikes me as possible that being a pilot doesn’t make you necessarily supercompetent where observing unfamiliar phenomena is concerned. Pilots are trained for a specific, if comprehensive, set of circumstances, and things like death spirals occur because even that training can fail.

Pilots, ground crew, flight controllers and so on, are not magically reliable. That said, it could be exactly as reported, but it might not be.
> I don't think this situation requires anyone else to lose.

I don't know enough macroeconomics, nor enough about the veracity of macroeconomics, to determine whether this is true. I'm not calling you out, or asking you to defend your thesis to strangers. I'm just wondering whether you're able to reason end-to-end about this in your own mind, to reach this conclusion.

Also, whether or not your good fortune depends on losers, there are losers. An exchange at dinner the other night went like this: What slogan did Obama run on? Change. And what is it that people want to change? They want their lives to stop sucking so hard.
Sure. If you're expecting a total Tesla failure on price performance... then they'll fail. In terms of the EV models out in 2018, I don't think this is what is happening here. Tesla are having trouble keeping up with demand. They've also been playing a big risk strategy all along, so they still may explode or run out of money.

..I'm just skeptical that the last line of this article:

If Tesla can’t figure out how to make more cars soon, it could open a lane for rivals from Detroit and overseas to...

I don't agree. There is a big market here, it's basically the market for cars. There's no way Tesla could have ever held that whole market, I don't think they expect to and we shouldn't want them to. Within the market for cars, Tesla could be selling many times more cars than they are optimistically promising to make currently.

I think competition is, in this case, way down the list of problems. The problem is as they've been saying all along, they need to build more cars faster.
Why not?
You can’t have a black hole without a singularity.
A black hole is formed only when >3 solar masses collapse in a singularity.
Maybe the opposite is theoretically possible, the so called naked singularity in which a singularity is not hidden by an event horizon.
> I'd say most people already use local apps/services for almost everything, so having Apple moving servers to China won't practically have any impact on "privacy" or "human rights concerns"

Does this mean anything? You also breathe polluted air like "most people", do you want new fresh air then?

The reason of "__INSERT ACTION HERE__ won't practically have any impact on 'privacy' or 'human rights concerns'" is because "most people" unaware the importance of their privacy, NOT because their privacy is not important.

So, their is a choice to make: To make people understand the importance of their privacy; OR, continue selling this unawareness (to make people ignorant). Which way you go?
Linux developers might be better paid simply because there are fewer of them. Run of the mill “enterprise” developers are on Windows and they make up the bulk of the workforce (in any country, afaik). This creates economies of scale that incentivise companies to continue standardising on Windows, because it makes it easier and cheaper to hire people.

The distinction made, throughout the article and all the descriptions it gives, is between those who would be a Nazi were it profitable to do so, and those who would be a Nazi wholeheartedly. The former are Nazis by circumstance, while the latter are those termed as "born Nazis". It does not refer to one's birth or heritage, but the enthusiasm with which one would join a despicable movement.
California is one of the most agriculturally diverse and productive regions in the world. I'm not sure what your point is, but implying agriculture struggles in California is just plain wrong.
She says repeatedly that Nazism is not genetic but is potentially rooted in the earliest upbringing. When she talks about "young D," "the only born Nazi in the room," she says a lot about his upbringing and nothing whatsoever about his heritage. That's what "born" means to Dorothy Thompson.

The word "born" is clearly an awkward choice--perhaps it worked better in the idiom of 1941--but you're not doing any good by ignoring context and stubbornly insisting on a literal dictionary reading.
If I had a solution I'd be telling you about it I assure you. I'm just saying that vote with your wallet and put your faith in the market is also not a solution in this case.
I know, but AMP will be used mostly for automated email, and I'm not holding my breath many services that send me e-mail check their mailserver logs, if they even know such a thing exists. Bouncing to no-reply address will not help much either. And I need to receive e-mail from services I've registered to anyway, that's why I whitelist anything sent to a random email address that I assign to each service.

Better to just complain over channels where someone is actually listening.
I wonder how many people who say "Oh God yes, please run Trump, please run" because they thought he'd lose badly now regret that attitude. Telling people to stop looking at the tech visa issue because the number of green cards dwarf it just invites a push towards a return to pre 1960s immigration policies.

Consider who and how benefits. The incentive in for-profit medicine in the US is to spend as much time and treatment as possible per patient. If each Doctor has to order the same tests as the patient is passed around - that is efficient from the perspective of maximising profit.
It sounds like they had trouble tracking it with primary radar which means there might be something else going on.

It'd be amusing to find out how the people on the other side of this are reacting: Either "hey that was a pretty successful test," or "someone f'd up big time and now we have to clean up this mess."
I have the XPS 13 and don't find the supposed "coil whine" that bad tbh.
I hope people can understand the difference between getting a feel for someone's temperament, vs. getting a feel for their political opinions. I highly doubt that the situation in question was the former and not the latter.
China's Communist conquest was a war of the scale of Vietnam. The Communist takeover of China involved several times more deaths than the entire Vietnam war. Ultimately tens of millions of people in China died in conflict and famine over three decades as Mao established control of the country.

Neither world war had singular causes, they were diverse and complex, involving dozens of nations over long periods of time. That's particularly true of their origins.

The Vietnam War wasn't started by either the US or European powers. It was a civil war, in which the Communist North was attempting to conquer the South, as North Korea attempted to conquer South Korea, and Communist China conquered the Republic of China. The Vietnam War also was not finished or continued by the US; after the Paris Peace Accords, and after the US left, the North predictably proceeded to continue its prior military conquest of the South.

Middle Eastern wars haven't stopped for the last two thousand years. Who are you planning to blame that on? Who would be the non-guilty parties? China currently gets an immense amount of its oil from Middle East theocracies.
Infinite growth is not a smart policy. I don't understand why the desire for infinite growth has become almost a religion in the United States.

Note: this is just a general guess.

But my money is on this just being a military test—some SR71-like replacement (probably air-breathing, maybe even unmanned). It's not really out of the question, but a big hole in this idea is that merging with general air traffic is usually a no-no even by military standards.

Anyways, on a somewhat unrelated note, it just reminds me of this[0] story, for anyone even remotely interested in flight.

Wow, then I sure do know a lot of Nobel winners. (joke) They hand these out to professional musicians all the time. They are fantastic musicians, each one of these 0-oners. But we also have fantastic musicians here in the US. We are wall-to-wall with underemployed, incredibly well trained, very low paid, top-notch musicians in NYC. In fact, I don't know a single musician who is upset about the O1s being handed out. We are happy to play with a wide variety of players. It helps the art, frankly. But what we would like to see more of, many of us, is a reciprocation from other countries, so the arts can become more fluid. This would help raise the level everywhere. The problem is, the door just swings one way a lot of the time. It is very difficult for an American musician to get an orchestral job in Europe. When they do, we all cheer. The current concertmaster of Berlin Phil is an American. But he's the violin version of a Nobel winner. Our orchestras are filled with Europeans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, etc.

I think the article addresses that, too, with Mr. C: "...he is subtle and cruel. He would rise high in a Nazi regime. It would need men just like him—intellectual and ruthless. But Mr. C is not a born Nazi. He is the product of a democracy hypocritically preaching social equality and practicing a carelessly brutal snobbery. He is a sensitive, gifted man who has been humiliated into nihilism."
Wouldn't the black hole's horizon also shrink past a planet orbiting it as it loses mass?
See, when you said

> All of these have been traced back to Proto-Indo-European and have different origins:

that could be taken to mean that the PIE terms have different roots or no roots at all.

"ob" and "eu" go back to * h₁epi- and * h₁es- ... and evidently obs-, obc- is frequent so there's the assumption that * h₁epis > * h₁epi- must (might) have been a thing; while you already noted that loss of b before a consonant is a thing, so that * h₁ebs- > * h₁es- were not too unlikely either. Even closer now, I'll stop there.

But to think that terms as basic and simple as "yes" would be innovations instead of variations of varieties that existed for millennia, warrants a lot of doubt. Just pointing at a few made up roots doesn't impress anyone, really.

Historical linguistics is clinging to the "single mother" hypothesis. It's a useful abstraction, but as programmers we should know better. Simply speaking, it appears to me that the sheer amount of material to work with is too intimidating to researchers (manually) to even attempt to favor the assumption of chaos. So if it can't be supported by historic artifacts it's labeled mere coincidence. And reliable artifacts are sparse. So everything is uncertain. OK, I don't actually know much about the archeology, but as far as I know, Celtic and Germanic is generally not well preserved as text. I agree, I guess, the threshold to validate a claim is rather high. And I do err at times, quite trivially. Perhaps that's why I present my argument as a joke. But the threshold counts all the same against falsification. You can't just arm chair a "nope" like that. That was really inconsiderate.

Instead of roots, take a step back and consider basic semantics. What's closer to yes: "true, good, to be, " or "that, there"?

And for a region, that happens to lie in the west of roma, what's more likely to be it's name "west" or "the country in which they say oc"?
While I definitely agree that removing responsibility likely allows/causes people to participate in horrible things it should also be remembered that "at the end of the war" they knew they were on the losing side and probably looking to minimize their own role in that side.
