Got it, that kind of makes sense. The concept of certificate reseller doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but thank you for making the distinction
Just a few days ago, Google apparently banned shopping results for "water guns" and so forth. The urge to censor in service of one's politics is strong everywhere.
I was thinking of changing from my old Android phone to the iPhone 8... Is now not a good time?
My guess is they're raising to follow the path of deliveroo: https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/24/deliveroo-raises-385m/ which is opening kitchens to allow restaurants to increase production (and, who knows, maybe create a few brands of their own).

Ah, middlemen. There's always a peril in letting someone else own your customer.
He has a point that democracy really needs to step up its game. We’re not exactly having a good run at the moment.
If they are why not let them vote so we can all see?

Unfortunately I no longer use DoorDash. The concept was amazing, but I’ve had one too many questionable people deliver my food that the last time it happened I didn’t even eat it.

I’m a huge fan of the “1 million jobs” type of companies like this, but there’s a level of trust that comes with allowing someone to handle the food you eat. I’m not even a judgemental individual, and I hate people that are, but I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about my food delivery. I now go get my own food. Oh well.
Perhaps there should, but these laws are generally toothless and unenforceable because of the power structure in a place of business: in the US employment is "at will" so even if on paper it says you can't be fired for this, it is easy for bosses to invent some justification for the firing, and to make it known subtly or not so subtly that missing work for any reason legal or not will result in consequences. Employers can and do do this right now, all the time: "wow look at John, he worked through lunch and worked unpaid overtime until 6. He is really dedicated. He's employee of the month. You should all be more like John. He definitely won't be laid off next week."

Without a competing power structure to hold employers accountable and keep an eye on their behavior (i.e. a union) the law is a nice sentiment but not much more.
@elptacek's comment does not strike me as hostile. It resonates with me.
The thing I always wonder is how do Chinese people studying or living long-term in foreign countries react to this. They spend a lot of time exposed to media that aren't as heavily censored anymore, and see a lot of negative news about their home country's state. When they go back home, they surely will have a different point of view for everything.

Of course, it's very difficult to protest and make a change even after you get to view everything past the Great Firewall of China, but there must be a growing amount of Chinese people that know of the propaganda and the lies.
It pays for me to work on it full-time and I have a couple employees now.

> At the core of Patrikarakos’s book is the idea that narrative war has become far more important than physical war due to new technologies that shape public perceptions of conflicts in real time, regardless of what is actually happening on the battlefield.

In The Utility of Force: The Art of War in the Modern World, General Sir Rupert Smith repeatedly makes the point that victory in war is about achieving a condition in the mind of the adversary. An opponent who doesn't accept his defeat is still an active opponent. E.g. Japan was defeated at Midway in June 1942, but didn't surrender until August 1945: the U.S. had to convince Japan's government that it had lost.

In this sense, then, digital war is the same as pre-digital war: what matters is public perception. One can only win by convincing the victor and the vanquished alike that one has won.
Agreed, their fees are annoying. The website also always glitches for me the first time I press the final order button. It looks nice but it's making me look at other similar companies more these days. I enjoyed the early days with no fees and no glitches.
Cincinnatus is the most famous, but not even the first Roman dictator to give up power. He was however, the first one to do so from the generation which never lived under the Kings of Rome, and had first hand experience with long term dictatorial power.

He was also known to the early Americans, who respected him so much they named the city of Cincinnati after him.

But see, that's the point of my last sentence. You're going for axioms - there's just no room for wordsmithing. When you leave the essential terms of your statement without a clear definition, the axiom is meaningless.

EDIT: In this particular case, the choice of using "truth" or "fact" completely changes the premise. (And even then, I've already made a boatload of assumptions here on the exact definition of each word.)

1. Gun violence has been net decreasing (actually, all violence has been)

2. Immigration has slowed down, and immigrants have generally seen better outcomes not withstanding the current abuses by ICE

3. Race issues are worse this year than they have been, but exceptions occur. We as a country are at least in the beginning stages of a conversation about it, which has not and may not occur in other countries.

4. The National Debt is increasing, but budget deficits fell drastically under Obama. National debt does not necessarily grow at the same rate as GDP.

You've bought into a lot of propaganda unfortunately. I really recommend you pull a Descartes and re-evaluate from ground zero. Not to say China isn't a rising power, but Democracy is not dead.
Are there any good sources of information for a different aggregate inflation figure than CPI? I have read up on the CPI weightings before and I agree that they are inaccurate, but trying to find alternative weightings quickly leads into crank territory.
But then they are two unrelated posts with two separate discussions. The whole point is that they are related and in the same discussion. It's more simple this way.
Yeah, I thought the title was actually understated compared to the body of the article.
The examples you use to demonstrate that America is in decline are suspicious.
I'm mostly confused why the author bothered to do this. Age1 ran on computers that were, quite literally, one to two orders of magnitude slower than the ones this remake will run on, and as far as I remember nobody complained about performance issues. So why spend time (when the author argues they were time constrained) optimizing this part of the game for speed in particular?

I can totally understand the need for a rewrite given all else the author writes about the algorithm, but the focus on speed as the first-line item is kind of confusing.

It’s a game that is intentionally designed for balance (wouldn’t be very fun if there was only one path to win). So I’d be cautious about extrapolating to the real world.

Unfortunately, speaking up in China involves high-risk and low-reward. Even if an activist becomes influential, chances are they will be sent to reeducation camps like, Loving Kindness School, a political reeducation center in the city of Horgos.

I could say the same thing about myself and the Trump administration. It's mostly a sideshow.
Nobody who's serious about security is going to use an app that does crypto in javascript. Why not make browser plugins to avoid this complication?

Not to mention, if browser makers take their existing browser storage functionality and make more flexible interfaces for them, your app will be kind of useless, as the browser could sync user data with arbitrary cloud providers.
Ugh, Jägermeister is disgusting. If the primary objective is getting as drunk as possible, Vodka is usually the most efficient vehicle. Or Tequila. Wine and beer make it easier to pace yourself. Plus, wine tastes better.

> > When it comes to tea, I can be a real snob, and with good reason. With tea there really are so many subtle nuances it boggles my mind to this very day.

> And with wine there are not?

I can well imagine that there are wines that can be just as rich an experience as tea. I just know next to nothing about fine wines. Tea tends to be cheaper, plus I can drink tea at work without getting into trouble. ;-)
Venius is a long way from impacting earths climate. The scale is 2.512^(x-y).

Sun −26.74, Moon −12.74 (average full moon), Venus -4.89 to −3.82. So sun is around 400,000 times as bright as the moon, and the moon is ~1500 times as bright as the Venus which is bright largely because it's so close to the sun.

Mars is −2.91 at it's brightest. So 1/2 as much light as Venus because it's further from the sun even if it's closer. These might be closer than Mars, but not closer than the moon.

I bought my Samsung Galaxy S5 in early/mid 2015 and it's still going "strong", although a bit laggy at times. The only issue is the battery has started swelling (again). I think I'll upgrade this time instead of replacing the battery.

My point being, I'm about to hit the three year mark on an Android phone.
as if we are not investing heavily into robots, A. I., and infrastructure ourselves...

I have lived abroad for the past 7 years. Below are ideas that I got from personal experience abroad:

- In your home country, find a large company with offices abroad where you want to gom work for them a few years, and monitor internal job offers and apply to get transfered abroad.

PRO: good package if succesful.

CON: long and low probability of success.

- move to the foreign location first, and start your job hunt there, with linkedin, local recruiters and meetup.

PRO: more chance to be successful.

CON: your jobhpackage might not be as good as with the first method.

- teach english abroad.

PRO: the easiest way.

CON: salary wont be as good (but can still be decent compared to local wages), might be harder if you are not a citizen of an english speaking country (especially to get a visa), and no career prospects..

- find a remote job, setup a company locally, and hire yourself to get the visa. Technically, you will be a consultant to the foreign company.

PRO: financially can be really good, in particular if you earn western salary and live in a cheaper country. Also you will be very independent.

CON: a lot of setup is required, and it js harder to find a remote job. a variation of this method is to create your own online business. Probably the best setup if you manage to do it.

A few other thoughts:

- expat contracts are less and less offered

- knowing a relevant foreign language is not that helpful. If the company needs someone who can speak the local language, they will prefer to simply hire a local

- what is really helpful is to have a unique technical expertise that is hard to find in the country (someone said developer?)
Memcached 1.5.6 Release Notes
Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc/POWER, MIPS, ARMv8/Thumb2/AArch64, x86-64/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and houses that commonly go for $150,000 to $450,000.
