The problem isn't identifying targets. The problem is not killing civilians. Increasing the confidence of identifying targets may actually make things worse by allowing to justify drone strikes that would otherwise have to be called off.

The military likely won't be interested in identifying civilians. They have a list of people to kill and want to know whether one of them is in the target area. If they are and everybody else qualifies as a potential enemy combatant (i.e. they look somewhat male, adult and able-bodied) the drone goes kaboom.

Improving detection won't reduce casualties, it will increase confidence, which will result in more strikes and therefore more casualties. There's no incentive to improve the detection of civilians when everyone who is not obviously a civilian (e.g. children) can be considered a combatant.

This technology won't result in drone strikes being called off because there are civilians in the area. This will result in more drone strikes being made because they can ask a machine to greenlight them instead of having any personal accountability.
I think that oil was the main cause of wars in world during the last decades. And it is one of the rare subjects where people can act with their wallet: choose EV each time you can, do not use oil for heating.
The numbers I have are specifically for EU27, not for the entire continent, and EU27's population is about 500 million people.
I'm pretty sure that specifically "cold" water is listed in that Crisco recipe as well.

These little tricks & tips are actually part of the recorded recipes, as people knew they were differentiating factors that made it turn out really well, and made sure they were noted.

Edit: https://www.crisco.com/recipes/classic-crisco-pie-crust-1242 Fork, ice cold water, lots of very specific tips, etc.
I have one dead person on my Facebook now. For the first couple of years she would be awkwardly wished a happy birthday by some of her "friends" who obviously didn't even know she had died.
Most of our elements are pure HTML and the pages are served up natively by the eCommerce platforms, so there’s no hit to performance.
His use of b.N is correct. The code you have is simply multiplying N by 100 with the inner for loop - so your times are 100x of what each "concat" operation (+,WriteString) takes.

You are also allocating a new string/buffer/builder for every run - which is not useful if you want to just benchmark concat.

Thanks for pointing it out. Should clearly not depend on the number of iterations. It's fixed now.
there's a lot more to good results than just the recipe. Equipment, skill, the idiosyncratic ways you don't follow the recipe or fill in where it's underspecified

This is important. My mother-in-law apparently made the best bread, yet despite my wife having both the recipe and having watched/helped her mother bake that bread several times she has never been able to replicate it. Also, my sister and I were both given exactly the same 'family' cookie recipe from our grandmother (she got it from a newspaper) and our cookies turn out quite different.
I have done lots of alternative stuff to deal with a serious medical condition. I have done so very successfully. I also did it without external pressure to stay a particular course, etc.

People when watched behave different. People under contract behave different.

It is one thing to take notes when someone does this voluntarily. It is quite another to put people under contract for something like this.
Yes, his company Amarisoft sells a SDR LTE based station with EPC (the core network part) support too:

I did this too myself in 2013 with roughly the same numbers (initial body weight ~92kg losing 20kg in 7 weeks most of it body mass). Also I didn't take supplements and cut down to tap water only (no food or soups or anything). Reintroducing my body to food was challenging to say the least.

I had prior experience doing such a diet once before (for 21 days a year earlier) knowing 8 weeks could be realistic for me to maintain at the time. I stopped a week early because even I boiled the tap water, the residual chlorine left over wasn't properly broken down by my body (food helps with that normally) and caused strong reactions every time I tried to drink (nausea even vomiting in final week). So not being able to hydrate myself I needed to stop very abruptly.

After I reintroduced my body to food I ended up in hospital a week later due to kidney stones (presumably a side effect of the starvation diet and flushing them out)

The hunger goes away after the 3rd/4th day and I was even able to go for a small run every other day until week 5. My motivation for it was neither religious nor to loose weight (although I had 10kg too much compared to my ideal shape 5 years before). People thought I was crazy for doing it (and I didn't tell anyone about it while it happened and also refused to discuss it with my doctor). I wanted to see how my body (and mind) reacts to extreme pressure like that. Also I felt experienced enough at the time to do this I would not recommend pushing too far into the extreme especially if it's your first time. Also worth noting that my weight never bounced back and I managed to maintain my ideal even after 5 years later (only gained 5kg mostly bodymass I lost not so much the fat).

My mental abilities (creativity, concentration, focus) were incredible especially until week 5. What I learned is as the body prepares for starvation it also releases huge amounts of energy that is stored up. Feels like having super powers. The body makes these reserves available so we can give it a final push for hunting or finding food (when homo sapiens is out in nature trying to survive I guess). It's probably why fasting is such a big thing in every religion.
Ah, it didn't cross my mind that I would have needed to be explicit about the fact that my scheme is practically inheritance tax avoidance.

Practically, while possible, leaving an inheritance in my current country of residence for anyone outside of my family is imposing negative tax consequences on another. And that's not a gift in my book, more like showing up on your door in a foreign country asking for help, followed by a quick notion that the government is also after me.

With all these lawyers, their leetspeak, and lengthy processes posing friction it's not a worthwhile effort to practically leave any change after me, thus why I thought to slap a "smart contract" on it.
There are a couple of cryptocurrency inheritance management startups: https://www.digipulse.io is up and running and
https://safehaven.io at the pre-ICO stage. Disclaimer: I haven't researched thoroughly so I can't comment on how secure etc. these are.
> One crazy thing is that you can get reassessed for improving a place.

As far as I know, the property tax based on reassessment is only increased for the marginal improvement. For example, say I have a house that's currently assessed for $200K, but it's true market value is $500K. I then add a room to the house and the market value jumps to $600K as a result. The new assessed value would be $300K — the original $200K plus the $100K I added by improving the house.

So still undervalued tax-wise, but my property tax increased by 50%.

I've got caught by this, took some explaining to straighten out. I always have my on board computer set to display distance in kilometres, but I live in UK - and once, a technician logged my mileage using the value in kilometres, but for the next service they switched to miles - and I got some questions from Mercedes how come my mileage went down between visits to the garage.

Wait, what makes you think the US is using drone strikes against "real" war targets? The targets of most drone strikes aren't a formal military, they're "militants".

The problem isn't finding locations to bomb. The problem is being able to tell whether the blob on the screen is the target you want to kill. If any civilians get killed in the process, they're probably terrorists too. If they're identifiably not, well too bad they decided to hang around in a "war zone".
I also wonder if it's median of available units or available of all units. It's possible that there are so many folks who have been living in the same rent-controlled $700 apartments for 30 years that the total median is much lower than what you can actually find on the open market.
Second the KiCad recommendation. The UI is super clunky but the functionality is all there, and the push-pull router is great.
The fact that an article like this about Amazon (or any of the tech "giants") is in some way credibe (I think it is) is curious. IE, a company that does retail, sells media & tech infratructure could also go into financial products...

I think it's several things are going on.
First, this new breed of companies is highly eutrepreneurial and competant. Maybe it's youth. Maybe it's the fact that they emerged recently as winners from a high competition dynamic... If Google or Amazon declare they will now be running schools, I'd be a lot more interested than if Unilever or Shell did the same. I know we're concerned about their power, size, monopoly power & vested intertest in the anti-privacy camp, but credit is still due... I think.

Second is the power of ....power. The modern economy is top heavy. Most markets are structurally hard to break into. "Normal people" can't just start company doing banking, insuring, medicines, transport, tobacco, energy, gambling. There are upstart-hostile rules, locking out new and/or small players or structural reasons preventing small players.

"Can't" is strong. Uber started a transport company. But, there are structural and regulatory reasons that make most large markets much more closed than search engines and online shopping. There is no chance for a thousand entrants, with winners emerging from a wide field. This leaves the field open almost exclusively to large companies running lower risk gambles.

Third.. third is financing. Financing has changed in ways that I don't understand well enought to express concisely. There is a lot of financing available these days, via "back-channels." The less formal sectors like VC and (much bigger) corporate lending.

Think of what california's VC & angel complex does. It is, in many ways, the heart of the startup ecosystem. Promising founders get to take big chances without liability. This makes it possible to start a Google or an Uber.

How would SV look if founders had personal liability, like regular small business people? How would it look if they were limited to bootstrapping? Startup financing is an exception, and a relatively small one. Elsewhere on earth, finance is a much more closed shop. You have to be an insider of some sort.

Financing is (to quote Buffet) *resource allocation.

Take for example, "leveraged buyouts" and similar arrangements. Leveraged buyout means that I get a loan from you to buy company X, which then owes you repayment. Some form of this is how Russia's oligarch system came to be. It's how a lot (most) private sales of comapnies happen. It's how infrastructure companies happen. Mining.

I don't quite understand it. The big risks are go to the financer, but the profits don't. Regardless, the structure exists and being big is a prerequisite.

I don't see that as an error. Although there's a popular simplified model that expresses an ideal weight as a function of kg/m^2, the weight/height ratio is indeed expressed as kg/m.

Furthermore, if that detail was relevant I'm sure that the paper wouldn't have passed through a peer review process.
And what about following you everywhere? Or complementing that clothing item or object you just touched. It is very annoying. And one of the main reasons I avoid them like a plague. It'd be great if the shopping experience at brick-and-mortar store was like the Apple Store.

Most of the time I find myself pulling my phone and googling the item in question to read about reviews.
I would have included:

I agree with a lot of your sentiments. I’ve similarly worked in a clothing supply chain environment and found it, well, gross. But your opinion on synthetics is totally divorced from the products actual lifecycle.

Polyesters dethread quickly and the fibers rub constantly. A polyester winter jacket will start pilling within 2-4 months of daily use. The wool version can last a decade plus. A synthetic version’s fabric will start balling up in weeks.

Second, polyesters don’t breath and sweat leads to accelerated breakdown and abrasion in the fibers.

WRT your edit: there’s a production difference between high-volume garments and short-run high fashion.

Neither should be immune from such ratings, but I think these manufacturing techniques will end up being the polar ends that template the future of clothing production.
Im curious why do you find that distasteful assuming there was a chain of consent somewhere in there. Data security is super important as are chains of unbroken informed consent, for using someones individual data in a study. But pharmas getting to see patient data is not something I have a problem with. If you want new cures for diseases how could you possibly have an issue with that? There is no law really stopping pharmas directly interacting with health providers, instead they choose these third party intermediaries because everyone has this unrealised "distaste" in their minds. What's distasteful about the institutions that produce cures having a clear view of the disease? Long term genetics is not even private data, once its cheap enough and portable enough there will be companies sequencing all humans from just the environment through metagenomics. What if you have a rare variant and I can see it at the local brothel as well as at a work place and at a home in large copy number. The future is Google/Facebook style of genetics regardless of what you think its going to be like. The sort of super strong blanket regulation required to block that would destroy any positive value of the technology. Your super secret data is only super secret right now because of a limit in technology and scope of the market. In 50 years genetic data will be as valued by people as their home address, especially as high value products become available for presenting companies with their data. I really dont have a problem with this. Smart watches are a larger existential threat to say insurance premiums for all of us.
Can we add lz4 to the blend to reduce disk IO?
It could be part of both. It seems that, especially in the past 30 years, the entire bay area (which is large) just become a tech hub.

The difference is that, while LA is well-known for Hollywood, you can go a few miles in any direction and get away from "the industry." Considering there were bench advertisements for big data all around SF, it didn't feel like you could get away from tech or really any of the things that are more or less a deep reflection of the cliche tech crowd.

So, whether "on purpose" or not, the fact is that the resulting food, work, life, and so on appear very different. For an example, if you trying to be an actor, you'll likely fall through the cracks, though it's entirely possible you will still work in entertainment in some capacity.

The difference is that you can leave that industry entirely and still have a viable way of making a go at life. This is different than being a place that (feels like) you have the option of tech or get out.

I'm not bashing SF at all, by the way. It seems there is a bit of a resistance to welcoming other things at this point. I could be thinking wrong here, but the "tech is everywhere" is definitely a comment I've heard from people living there or visiting there that have no involvement in tech.
Most important progress recently came from giant corporations promoting a thing. That thing was electricity, with electric lighting at the forefront. Second example was IBM and computing. (earlier than you probably think...) Next Intel and its manufacturing.

Xerox was the corporation behind fast printing. Sony behind most of portable music and video recording...

The Internet is the main counterexample.
The otger counterexamples almost always used the effects of scale created by the previous giants. (Apple, Microsoft, Google or Facebook - using both reduced price internet, computer hardware and hole after dotcom boom.)

I would have thought that on Hackernews of all places people would recognize the scale that is involved with a site like Amazon and recognize that fixing this problem is far from trivial.

I'm sure Amazon is taking it very seriously - when have they ever shown anything but "obsession" about positive customer experiences. But it is hard, and it will take time to do it effectively without completely blocking all 3rd party sellers on the site.

Flutter controls all the actual pixels, recreating the iOS and Material styles in Flutter code. React Native describes its view contents in JavaScript, but uses native Java/Cocoa APIs to draw the actual pixels.

Flash/AIR and desktop Java are other well-known technologies that controlled how the actual pixels were drawn. If you wanted a native-looking UI, you had to mimic one in framework code.

React lead Tom Occhino pointed this out at the React Native launch. With the React Native approach, your app matches the iOS N+1 style when the user upgrades. With the Flutter/Flash approach, your app matches N+1 when you upgrade your version of Flutter and push a new release.

I have a recipe that I know is original (since I developed it myself) and I do my best not to keep secret. Good recipes are way better when shared.

Date chicken:

Cut two pounds of chicken breast into thin strips and marinate in red pesto [0] (one jar) for at least an hour.
Bring two cans of coconut milk to boil with a pound of dried stoneless dates. Reduce heat and let simmer for half an hour, beating with a whisk to break up the dates. You should end up with a sauce that you can easily pour on the chicken later.
When you start the sauce, start heating an oven to 250°C. Put the chicken in an ovenproof container and grill the slices for about 15 minutes, turning the slices over at least once.
Pour the sauce on top and top off with feta cheese cubes (use dry feta, not the olive-oil drenched salad cubes). Grill till golden brown.

Serve with brown rice.
