Gamling and speculation are certainly use cases. They're not the only use cases. Money laundering, drug sales, protecting assets against seizure, political dissent... basically anything where the Government / financial system has shut you out from the market. I say "useful" only in the sense that it clearly has uses. Even if you don't believe these activities are beneficial to society, you can still concede that they are useful in that people are using them.

It't not really about Nazism though is it. I only read the first page and it seems to just a big list of positive and negative character traits.

So it was not possible when AMP launched, is not possible now, and might or might not be possible sometime in the future after some specs are finished, but only in some browsers. Doesn't sound very practical, to be honest...

I also can't imagine the amount of shit Google would have taken if they'd started just randomly doing that kind of thing for existing web pages. Instead they introduced a totally new mechanism (i.e. AMP) where the caching was a core concept from the start.

> Even if you can't package up and ship all of your traditional site to Google's CDN, you could do most of the burdensome/heavy bits. But then Google doesn't get to control your website and define the way it's allowed to look, which is what AMP is really for.

But "heavy/burdensome bits" are exactly the things that matter the least for this use case. Ideally they would not exist at all. If they do, they should not be speculatively prefetched.

It'd also mean that these pages are now tied to Google's CDN, no matter what. Have a user click through the link from some other source than a Google search result? They'll still end up loading the resources from them. Is that really what you want?
I built an application that used Gmail to drive an application to automatically share generated reports with a set of users.

A user would fill out a Google Form, which would send an email to a specific Gmail account when the user submits the form. An automated process would scrape the Gmail account every 5 minutes looking for unread emails containing setup requests. The process would then create a new drive folder and share it with the users specified in the onboarding request. Then, generated reports would be emailed to the same email referencing the newly created folder. The automated process would download the reports, upload them into the shared folder, and send the users who can access the folder an email notifying them that a new set of reports is available.

I had a lot of fun using the Google APIs! I played around with translating the reports into a Google Sheet as well.
Absolutely there's an economic cost; that's sort of the whole point, so it's expensive to attack. However:

- The economic cost doesn't have to be an energy cost, which means it can be more environmentally friendly than Bitcoin.

- With PoS you have the option of making attacks expensive by penalizing the attacker, which lets you achieve a given level of security at lower economic cost to honest actors.
I’m curious how this compares with the similar built in tools for building grammars, etc in Perl 6, and also if the syntax flexibility possible is worth the trade off vs using more native (if obscured or downplayed) syntax eg the sorts of DSLs you can build with Ruby.
My parents had one of those and used it until the early 2000's as their "garage beer fridge". They sold it for a substantial amount to a collector when they moved. Dad was a chemical engineer and I'm not sure he knew how toxic the refrigerant it contained was - he probably would have gotten rid of it sooner if he'd known.

The essence of the issue for many, who seem to equate entanglement with FTL is that a classical channel is required. Without that, you’re just sending noise over your quantum channel.

Except nursing is experiencing a major shortage too - https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/nursing-s... So if anything, the low wages for nurses just just further supports the parent comment -- wages are too low.

If you want to fill a shortage, you need to start by raising wages substantially. If for no other reason than to at least allow new students some hope of ever repaying the always-increasing college costs required to enter these fields.

Twenty years ago when I did tech support for a living, I had a series of questions worded in very specific ways I would ask at the start of a call. Sometimes the content of the answer was the useful part of the response, sometimes how the answer was said.

More often than not, if I got someone on the other line that seemed to know a bit, skipping the questions ended up being counterproductive, as I would assume some knowledge about a specific item from the other end that didn't exist (but other knowledge did). I learned to trust the process, and glean the extra bits of information that weren't what the other side was trying to convey, but did nonetheless.

I think it's a mistake to assume that just because the doctor asks you questions and doesn't always seem to take into account a prior answer the doctor is not listing. I think it's more likely that they have learned that the small percentage of time that asking similar questions in different ways has led to new, important information has led them to be careful and methodical, even at the expense of patients thinking they aren't listening.

When faced with a choice of behaving in a way making you think they care, or behaving in a way that makes you think they don't but actually provides better care and outcomes, what would you prefer? I think we need to be careful about jumping from "this is what it looks like" to "this is what's going on" without evidence clearly pointing to one over that other.
This is a major gift to the non infosys/Tata type employers. It looks good on the surface but it does nothing to address the real problem h1b causes. The power imbalance remains, the wage suppression continues, the greencard backlog remains and the government gets to wipe their hands and say they fixed it.
iirc, to move to Switzerland basically all you need is a net worth high enough to convince them you won't ever become a public burden. (Also iirc, this is likely to change soon.) Becoming a citizen otoh takes a long time.
We shouldn't judge all his past behaviors under the lens of a politician because he wasn't a politician. He was a businessman. The fact that he is pushing for immigration reform while he historically exploited those systems shows that he is able to differentiate between necessary ruthless business tactics and civic duty.
Is it possible the political questions are really a test to see if you have the good sense to avoid bringing controversial politics to work? Maybe they were looking for something along the lines of "Political opinions will differ. I'm more interested in being part of a productive team than having my politics validated."
This is really the only way to reject AMP4Email: Refuse to allow it, so that companies wanting to reach their customers can't implement it. However, it's unlikely large mail providers would choose to do this, I can't imagine Microsoft or Yahoo taking such a stand.

My own provider FastMail, has said they of course, can't promise they won't support AMP4Email since compatibility is a major goal of theirs, and I can't fault them for that. (And I significantly appreciate the contribution their blog has made to the discussion on the topic.) I'd love if I had the option to opt into behavior like this though, at least on a personal level.

But if only a few percent of users (or more than likely, a fraction of a percent) are rejecting the mail, it won't dissuade anyone. Companies will pick up AMP4Email so they can push dynamic advertising directly in people's inboxes.
> If there was zero discrimination no-one from any other country would stand a chance due to the sheer population size of India & China.

If there was zero discrimination on country of origin, each qualified individual applicant within a given VISA category would be situated equivalently regardless of nation of origin.

India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines (I may be missing one or two other countries) would see an increased number of total immigrants to the US and other countries less, but that's because the per country of origin limits currently put individuals of those countries in a worse position, not because the present system is fair and removing the per country limits would be unfair.
To say that theoretical physics has been ahead of experimental physics from 1905 onwards is not entirely accurate. In the 1960s particle accelerators had found lots of particles. At first those were thought to be elementary, but more and more were found, into the hundreds. Physicists started doubting that they were elementary. The quark model eventually explained that those hundreds of particles aren't elementary.

Saying that theory is ahead of experiment also suffers from survivorship bias. We tend to forget the theoretical predictions that didn't pan out. If the theoretical side predicts 10 different possibilities and the experiments eventually find that one of those is right, that's not evidence that theory is ahead of experiment. We also tend to interpret correct theoretical predictions in a more rosy light after the fact. One of the poster childs for theoretical predictions is the positron. It is said that Dirac predicted the positron, which is true. He first considered that an electron could be in a positive and negative state, but retracted that position later and said that the positive charges were holes in an infinite negative sea, and he theorised that the proton is a negative electron. He was eventually convinced by Oppenheimer that the infinite negative sea idea didn't make sense, and that's when he predicted that there was a positron particle in 1931. But the positron had already been observed two years earlier, although those observations weren't conclusive and the conclusive experiment was done in 1932. The interplay between theory and experiment is often nuanced.
I try to preempt the frustration by saying that we each take our own history for the purpose of making sure no details are missed, but rest assured, I’ve gotten the overview from your other docs. I then make sure to complete a sentence for them once in a while, to evidence that that is the case.

A good percentage still get frustrated. Can’t be helped. Patients reshape their narrative, remember new details, just plain open up more to some docs, etc. the repeated history taking really pays off in improving patient care.

Where I find patients get most frustrated is when docs come in for a specific job, and patients don’t have the health literacy to understand what that is or is not. “Doc, can I go home today?”

“ I’m just the consulting cardio here to check out your heart for your primary doc, Doc McStuffins, I have no say in that at all, you need to ask McStuffins.”

“Oh. But when do you think I can go home?”

There’s no good response to that. No one wants to cough up cash to pay for health professionals time to repeat themselves all day long. But the patient that’s asking? They want that answer. They don’t -feel- like they’re asking an inappropriate or stupid question.
That was just in the valley. I work for a company that makes more money than Google (Alphabet) and fortunately don't live anywhere near the valley. That also has nothing to do with immigration.
Can we get over the “send us their...” rethoric? Nobody is sending anybody. These are actual people making these decisions for themselves, not geopolitics playing out in airport immigration lines.

I'd be curious to hear anyone's thoughts on the graphical notation here—I'd never seen it (or anything similar), and it's intriguing to me, but I wonder if folks have gained some specific concrete benefit from it (e.g. you can look at one of these and figure out what's happening much more quickly or something).
I think it's actually just as irrational to try and explain a series of complex behavior with one central premise. The truth is humans are complex. All that "pop evo psyche" stuff is just a story. It makes sense, it's vaguely plausible, but that doesn't actually make it true unless you only look for examples that confirm the story and ignore all the ones that don't.
True, but nobody said it was wise.
Stop putting words in my mouth. If I meant immigrants, I would have said so. Lawful immigrants have added much to our country and will continue to do so. Putting a bunch of law breakers into the same category is ridiculous.
It's very odd to hear the term "yield" be used to describe capital gains. Typically this term means return on investment from either interest or dividend income. Ie, the "safe" part of the return. For example it would be very strange to say an investment had negative yield (though it might have negative return), since yield is the money the investment "throws off" to the investor. If you are never planning to liquidate the investment, yield (and potential changes to it) is your primary concern.

The only valid form of yield in crypto I think is earnings due to Proof of Stake deposits.
Ah ... so it wasn't an average of $450k over those years. Sorry I misread your situation. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything that can help you with your H1B problem in the US. There are exceptions in other countries that are more desperate for certain types of professionals.

Getting Your Mind Around Quantum Computing
The argument I made stems from a spiritual, non-dualistic perspective. While reading the blog post and writing the comment, I was thinking about how I think a lot about what is capital-t true. I usually find then if I would like to move towards what is capital-t true, dis-identifying and dropping labels is the start, individually and worldly. It's a lot like the pursuit of certainty by Descartes: What he did was lay everything down that he has known and throw away all which wasn’t certain, which later translated into: “Cogito ergo sum.” In similar form, I think ought to do the same: dis-identify with things, not have a reactive like or dislike with life, not mentally label every experience, etc. In other words, having labels and identifying with things is the opposite way towards where I would like to go, since that, I think, gets away from the core of what is capital-t true. If any of things I said above makes any sense.

Ultimately, I'm sorry, I should have gone into detail why I think my argument is the case. I'm also afraid I don't have a scientific study, it's really just what I have come to know at the moment, though I'm certain what I know at the moment will change, plus I do love counter-arguments since that's where we get somewhere really worth noting. I also should have not used the word 'dumber', but another, more compassionate word, I think.
Racket isn't really a source to source compiler/interpreter (you could try to write a compiler that converted racket into your language of choice, but that can often be quite difficult). Everything ultimately has to pass through Racket's language semantics, so matching implementation details requires a lot of work if the underlying language spec is large. The #lang C example down below sidesteps these issues because it acts as a pass through to the system c compiler and then handles returning those results into racket, essentially it delegates the language semantics to the c compiler and only deals with how to map the results of calling c code back onto racket objects. Similar issue with the FFI if you want to translate from one language to another, you still have to go through the process of mapping language semantics.

Two examples where languages/parsers have been implemented in racket:

Algol60 is the best and most complete example https://docs.racket-lang.org/algol60/index.html.
A python parser has been implemented https://github.com/dyoo/ragg/blob/master/ragg/examples/pytho...
Come try Montréal, the housing is fine!
When is the minimum salary requirement going into effect? Trump had promised $100k minimum salary. Now, paying immigrants $100k is foolish macro economic policy, when they’ve been shown to work for substantially less. The purpose of the $100k minimum is to make the US citizens more competitive, but there’s no reason the additional money needs to go to the H1B. Instead, the additional money should be a tax (say $40k for an H1B making $60k), and that money should be earmarked for scholarships for US citizens studying in the field occupied by the H1B. This increases the labor pool, which is the justification for the H1B system in the first place, and keeps these newly minted US citizen graduates competitive against the H1B flood. The policy should be supported by the left as it helps college students and by the right as it increases the labor pool, ultimately driving down wages using domestic labor and improving trade balance by dramatically reducing money sent overseas.

But I don't think it's the existing demographic they are trying to sell this bike to. The whole point is that market is shrinking. Rather, they want to have something available to sell to the "next generation" of riders. For example, people who want an electric bike made by an American manufacturer.
In many professional environments the preferred route is to use specialist hardware to send an RGB signal at a high bit rate and do any colour transformation in the monitor hardware.

Using LUTs either at the application or OS level to adjust colour information is a big no-no, although that doesn't stop some people from doing it. You simply don't want to change your colour space[1] until you absolutely have to.

The point of calibrating your monitor (which is a hardware + firmware level problem) is to see how your RGB image will look on a colour space restricted piece of hardware (for example in video this is often 12-bit RGB --> Rec709).

It's a paradox. The point is that tolerance cannot be limitless. That doesn't mean that intolerance won't prevail, it just means that those who strive for tolerance need not achieve perfection.

There will forever be a balance to be struck, and it's natural to have disagreements about it.

> its that they knew nothing

That does sound rather concerning if that's the case!

As a medical student about to sit my final exams, I have shadowed hundreds of doctors of different grades and specialties in many different hospitals and family practices, and I don't recall ever seeing a doctor not review the notes before seeing a patient. Often here in the UK at least there is a large amount of time pressure and it would certainly be desirable to have more time to review further back, in more detail, etc. but given in general practice there is a 10 minute slot per patient, there are systemic limits on this (that would be nice to address).

On the other side, trying to figure out what is going on with patients is much more complex than catching up on notes and trying to get a "delta" update from them about what has changed in the shortest space of time/words as possible. The number of times I have taken a history from a patient and then less than half an hour later observed them add hugely important extra details that were omitted previously is pretty large. Often, it is far more helpful and illuminating to ask a patient to tell you what has been going on in their own words, even if you think you have read it all in the notes. I have often seen more senior clinicians pick up subtle clues that were missed by more junior clinicians, or ask a pertinent question that was not asked before.

And finally, on a more pragmatic basis, doctors take a lot of risk on board whenever they treat a patient. Patient's get tired of people asking them if they have any allergies for example, but when it's your name on the prescription, and your ability to sleep and your license on the line, you may well decide to ask the patient again rather than rely on what some previous clinician in some previous setting has written down on the patient's file. In a similar vein, a lot of practice is not black and white. If a junior with limited experience writes that a particular clinical sign is positive in the notes, you may well want to repeat that examination to re-assure yourself before you allow it to guide your treatment.

None of this is excusing unpreparedness or poor practice, but hopefully shines a little light on some reasons why it seems like there is so much needless repetition.
Plenty of cultures attach identities to their societies - Sunni/Shi’a, Hutu/Tutsi, etc. Other cultures don’t focus as much on their “work identity” as you described, but they fill their identities with others.

Hah, no.

The USA typically allows about 0.3% per year. Canada is around 0.8%. Per capita, Canada allows many more immigrants than the USA. (Since the USA's population is so much larger, USA allows more in absolute numbers.)

About 21-22% of Canadian residents are immigrants. About 14% of American residents are.
