It's not about national borders, it's about culture. Culture is something you learn young, and it's very hard to acclimate to a new culture. You can move to a new country and be successful, have friends, etc..., but it's unlikely you'll ever truly understand that culture. Just like they can't move to Greece for a few years and understand your culture.

It's merely a statement of fact. I know this well, I speak French, have some French relatives, have a French name, travel to France all the time, and while I can get on, can have a great time and have made friends in France, I'm not French (I'm Canadian) and never will be. People there still treat me great, I know a lot about their culture, but I don't know their culture, just like they don't know Canadian culture.

Japan is a very rigid, closed and unique culture. Their country is extremely developed (could even say over-developed), and I have no doubt that growing up there, living from birth to death in that society marks you in a way that living there for 10 years won't.

There's a reason Canadians emphasize diversity over assimilation, because complete assimilation is impossible. You can't simply ignore one's upbringing and life experience and pretend we all had the same experiences.
I tried the same but I still find myself using !g all the time when I really want to find something.

Twitter is not an effective discussion platform imo. Facebook, in my experience at least, makes it pretty damned hard to find active, technical communities.

The insurance example was just the first thing I could think of. Replace with phone company, utilities company, what have you.
Depends on the carbs. Leafy greens and other vegetables are carbs, and for the most part they're compatible with paleo style diets. It's the processed carbs like bread and sugar that should be avoided.
>You're literally advocating non-empathy for a large group of people due to their heritage. You can't simply divide people into groups based on immutable characteristics and decide who does and does not deserve sympathy.

No, I'm advocating non-empathy for people who lack empathy for others. Fear of the presence of other ethnicities and of their cultural influence is not an immutable characteristic of the European genotype.

At what point does identifying and labelling an ideologically driven argument devoid of any rational substance class as "name calling". Clearly the poster is parroting views consistent with identity politics and I was merely pointing out the blaring lack of propositional logic.
From personal experience, I avoid eating too much tofu. At one point, I had a condition called gynecomastia. The doctor asked me about my diet (eating steamed tofu every day) and recommended that I stop based on some research he had read. Condition went away.
Scott Aaronson has an interesting take on the Chinese room theorem that tackles it from a computational complexity point of view:

Let's say this Chinese rule book does exist, and that it can provide an answer to every single possible question asked it. It would need to have an answer for every possible combination of words in the Chinese language. This is an unimaginably large amount of data. There are more combinations than there are atoms in the universe. This book and room simply can't exist as a 'Lookup'. Even if it did, you would need robots flying around at the speed of light retrieving information. I wouldn't have trouble calling such a system intelligent.

So if this room were to exist, and was a reasonable size, then there must be some incredible intelligence involved in scaling it down to this size.

He talks about it in his book: Quantum Computing Since Democritus.

I used to use Pinterest regularly. It was a good way to capture ideas and share them with others. Now I cringe whenever I accidentally click on a Pinterest link. The product is dead to me, there is zero chance I'd ever willingly install or open the app.

It's strange to see what was originally a useful tool turn into well-funded SEO spam.
tl;dr - profits from crypto investments seem to be taxed like other types of capital gains and inexperienced investors get burned because they don't know how taxes on investments/capital gains work (or were secretly hoping things would be different with crypto).
Easy, have gov't set a limit, tieing max CEO pay to median wages. CEO's can't earn more than 400x avg worker, including bonuses.

Then it's not about the company setting their pay rate, they can set their own if they can justify raising the median salaries. Win/Win.
Of course not but there’s not effort either being made to improve the current status for the future generations - quite the opposite actually.

States need to play the long game after all.
I'm not very (I mean, at all) conversant with Javascript. So stuff like Gulp, Grunt, etc is outside my comfort zone. But one fine day, someone posts step-by-step tutorial[1] on how to set up static site search using Fuse.js on Hugo sites without Gulp, Grunt, etc., and I am finally able to set up search[2] on my Hugo generated blog in no time.

As much as I love Linux and GNU, neither is especially innovative. Just about every FOSS tool was invented elsewhere in a commercial setting before it was cloned or reinterpreted into open software.

The question is whether novel products or services can arise among distributed cultures. In my 30+ years in this business (software R&D), I've seen lots of examples that it cannot and few/none that it can. Those few people who grok a new problem that needs a mousetrap when nobody else has ever seen a mouse, somehow they need to communicate this problem / opportunity to the scientists and engineers who must build that first trap. In my experience, this is a LOT easier done in person than remotely, especially if you don't already know your makers well. Until remote communication improves at least ten fold, addressing new problems remotely will remain vastly inferior to doing it locally.
Spring water isn't necessarily lead free. There are maximum allowable limits(at least in the US), but it could be anything less than that.
There is a security issue with using AD/OpenLDAP. That being passwords. An example is you can debug/trace the SSH process and see(log) passwords in clear text.

Now of course this is both a trust and a escalated privilege issue. But a lot harder(impossible) with keys.
I thought it was well known that tea tree oil is toxic.

I've been using it for a while do deodorise my shoes. It seems to be effective at killing whatever makes them smell. Anecdotally it also works for killing fungal infections of the feet too, although I've switched to using iodine, which is actually proven to be effective and tends to clear fungal infections within a couple of days.

I usually just research options for whatever’s bothering me on the internet. Go slow, though, and stay close to your primary doctor.

Ok, I get the training and verifying via test data sets, but I really don't get how a piece of software cannot be explained. It runs on a computer. It executes instructions that have to be visible in a trace. Someone had to write and debug the initial code. The data for the customer flows through the system, so how the heck can it be a black box? This is not mystical, its computer instructions. I can accept that data scientists have built software that doesn't output enough information to model the decisions, but I cannot accept a artificial system cannot be trace to show the decisions. If this is the type of software that is going to be running anything that can kill (e.g. autonomous cars) or fry (e.g. medical equipment) a human then I hope someone makes it illegal as heck until the model can be reversed in every case. How in the heck do developer / data scientists think they can get away with a black box with no accountability?
Another good set of studies to compare against are those showing leaching of lead from crystal decanters with hard liquor. Where the amount of lead leached may be gargantuan initially, the level leached out shrinks over time until it reaches a certain low threshold, which at least one study showed was possibly due to a kind of protecting coating developing over the crystal.

If the author found that water shots had a high concentration of lead, it could be that this level would taper off over time, or even that some other contaminant was at play. It could also be the lab gave back inaccurate results. And even with high concentrations of lead, it's possible that interactions with the content of the espresso could reduce the effect on the consumer. A study of actual concentrations of levels of lead in the blood of the espresso drinker should be evaluated.

A structural engineer in the US, at a minimum, requires a Professional Engineer license. The licensing requirements are similar elsewhere in North America, and in Britain. In some states (such as California), to practice structural engineering requires a Structural Engineer license. So anytime I mentioned structural engineering in this thread, it goes without saying...
That can also happen during Skype and on-site job interviews. You get a lot of "how would you solve ((their current business problem))". You can only deflect or try to change the topic. Or start charging. Last time it happened to me the (potential) client wanted to discuss specific hardware specifications/pricing while still claiming the questions are hypothetical.
Fairly sure google isn't going to promote pirated content over above-board content, regardless of how a large part of the community feels about it.

> Yeah, clean money has some extra value.

So in the context of your original post, with your provided definition now of clean money, can you clarify how the alternatives (selling to law enforcement / government, which is the most common alternative) would be “unclean”?
I’d love an all glass filter system to replace my plastic one now.

One concern is... what difference would that make in the pre-filter housing if the water goes through plastic pipes anyways to get to you?
She did a lot of that time walking. That's an average speed of 3.2 mph, which is just a hair faster than a brisk walk.

Not to say that she didn't do something way beyond what most people have ever done. I once hiked 55 miles over five days in the mountains and that was enough.
I do not tolerate nor deem the claims worthy of a response. There must be a minimum acceptable level of intellectual debate which warrants engagement. The poster is incapable of providing any form of evidence and hence such laziness must be punished to enforce quality of debate in the wider interests of human progress.
> what is so attractive about trying to find medical purposes for scented oils when medical science has yet to prove any effect beyond pure placebo

There is a risk here of going down the road of scientism, which is to conflate empiricism and the scientific method itself with a specific, imperfect implementation of it.

I've looked into this myself, and the profit motive for doing well-funded research on plants as a potential medicine are probably 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than for pharmaceuticals that are much easier to control and patent. It can take ~billions to develop a new drug and get it through the FDA process, and it's the potential profits that actually fund the research.

This level of research funding is obviously never going to happen under the current incentive and regulatory structure for investigating plants that anyone can buy for a few dollars, even if those same plants worked just as well as a pharmaceutical drug.

Science is like a high focused searchlight. It obviously isn't going to find things that it doesn't focus much on.

That doesn't mean the things that science has left only briefly examined definitely work (and I anyone who tells you otherwise is probably trying to sell you something), but it does mean that the universe of true facts is much wider than the universe of things that have been definitively proven through science.
Correct me if I am wrong, but adding terms to the query can have two distinct effects:

Either this would add jobs that hit "software" or "developer" in isolation,(see original problem) or it would filter out "Embedded programmer" or "Embedded systems engineer", if those ads didn't include all three individual terms "embedded", "software", and "developer". (Why I tolerate my current approach)

I've always assumed I was casting the optimally sized net with a single keyword, and no better alternative existed for purposes of completeness.

We have a legacy platform that has been rototilled over the past few years to work above 100g. That path was just reality to provide continuity of features and lessen the risk of overhaul over several years vs a brown/greenfield. Not advisable for newcomers.

My original comment was not meant to be partial to any tech and targeted toward people starting new in house CDNs, I mentioned ATS as it gives you the best ready to scale platform right now and have no incentives for sharing that knowledge. If your core business is CDN the choice opens up to from scratch or bending something else. Cambridge has shown results that should go an order of magnitude beyond current software [1][2] and a low power FPGA design that I can't find at the moment that would both be a magnitude greater in efficiency than the software mentioned in this thread.

In the mean time, using the conventional BSD stack we're closing in on 200gbps on single socket x86 hw and again hitting bus and memory bandwidth limits.

FreeIPA - I wish more people knew about this. You can tie a public SSH key to a user (users can also self-register them) and it is automatically recognized on all hosts joined to the IPA domain, if you want to limit who has access to what the integrated RBAC facilities are there to handle that as well.

Apparently one of the "features" motivating the decision to use Lua is "it's interpreter is very small (~240 KB)," which sounds like a dumb joke when you consider Forth's footprint.

Gonna have to stop you right there, amigo. No such job exists.
It's actually the problem that Google would've had to grapple with in the past when facing off against AltaVista/Lycos/WebCrawler et al holding a measly 5% market share. Google traffic is way way way way more important to Pinterest than Pinterest is to Google search results, and the power flows accordingly. Nobody is switching to Bing for Pinterest image results.
The person in the Chinese Room could in principle simulate the brain of a Chinese speaker, but would still not know what it is like to understand the Chinese words he's processing.

This is addressed by the Turing Test: the point is that if there is no observable difference, does it matter? You can't tell if other people understand Chinese either.

Personally, the only logical conclusion I can draw is panpsychism. I think a rock rolling down hill experiences free will and perceives its random path as a series of choices.
That's the idea OP meant.

Google lacks any incentive to screw with a site that has millions(?) of users, as it could have significant consequence, and so Pinterest gets away with what others wouldn't.
I haven't found this to be true in the last few months
If it can convert vibration into electricity, does this imply that it would be a good sound-dampening material (for smaller space requirements than e.g. foam?)

Alternately, would this imply that it would be a good solid-state microphone?
And if so, if the bank takes it back is it wrong?
I live in a continent with a lot of fresh memories about uncomfortable answers to your questions. No need to go as far back as WW II: take a look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi for a painfully contemporary read.

It’s astonishing how quickly we forget. It’s astonishing and painful, to the memories of those whose pain and sacrifice was, in the end, wasted on us :(
No I'm not sure, nor is anyone. But having 1.4% of boomers and 7.3% of millennials identifying as LGBT is a _massive_ difference. Homosexuality is something that by all indications causes incredible mental anguish by suppressing, and from what we understand doesn't really change over a lifetime. Wouldn't we see a massively large number of older people coming out of the closet? Would it really be surprising if endocrine disruptors could have such a massive impact?
I’d agree with this. In environments that are partially remote the people in the office often leave the remotes out of conversations they should be involved in. On remote focused teams, the problem goes away because the communication medium is the same for everybody.

Time zones and work schedule discrepancies are a bigger hindrance for remote teams in my experience.
No, there’s a $250M deficit annually, and a total of $10B in future liabilities. Coincidentally, that is the same amount as the entire annual budget. But $10B is the right number.
I don't mean "popular clearweb sites that happen to have an onion address" so much as "legitimate/legal hidden services" beyond just a bunch of secure drops for new orgs.
This will probably be unpopular but here goes.

Honestly, if a community wants to be made of a particular homogeneous ethnicity or race it'd be much better if they were very up-front about it. Its fine, not everyone needs to be multi-cultural or multi-ethnic.

I'm looking at examples like Japan, they make it very difficult for outsiders to integrate, see the various "Gaijin" articles out there. I'm OK with this, Japan is up-front about it, you don't get to a case where you immigrate to Japan and the locals start complaining about losing their "ways".

Really, just say up front, only WASP's allowed.
> And if you check the address, you can often see thousands of dollars scammed.

Just like the fake "Thanks!" replies, I'm sure there are fake actual transactions, meaning the scammer sends bitcoin to itself to make it look legit. The fact that they pay transactions fees doesn't really change much.

So it's very hard to know how much of those thousands of dollars were actually scammed.
other than like, the children of international royalty and whatnot, you just can't get into an Ivy League school without working really hard one way or another.

The text book says:

"The analogy between good proofs and good programs extends beyond structure.
The same rigorous thinking needed for proofs is essential in the design of criti-
cal computer systems. When algorithms and protocols only “mostly work” due
to reliance on hand-waving arguments, the results can range from problematic to
catastrophic. An early example was the
Therac 25, a machine that provided radia-
tion therapy to cancer victims, but occasionally killed them with massive overdoses
due to a software race condition. A more recent (August 2004) example involved a
single faulty command to a computer system used by United and American Airlines
that grounded the entire fleet of both companies—and all their passengers!
It is a certainty that we’ll all one day be at the mercy of critical computer systems
designed by you and your classmates. So we really hope that you’ll develop the
ability to formulate rock-solid logical arguments that a system actually does what
you think it does!"
And while they're at it, any news sites that hit you with a paywall when coming from Google results.
Not really. All the absence of research papers indicates is that the subject has not been considered to be worth the time or money to do research in the subject.

There is only so much time and only so much money and as a consequence, priorities are made as to what it should be spent on.

Even replication of results is not deemed worthy enough to spend time and money on. We see this often enough where papers detailing the replication of an experiment are simply ignored in the journals for that field. This comes up in discussion in so many different fora across the internet.

If unlimited funds were available for research into all and every subject, there is still the lack of time and researchers available to do all of the research necessary.

So what happens is that whoever has the most influence and the available funds and time gets to dictate what gets done. This means that for other research, it depends on the efforts of those who have a burning interest and motivation to do the study.

I, myself, have a whole series of experiments that I want to undertake. it will have to be by my time and money as it is a subject that I especially want to investigate. But that is still dependent on all the other commitments that I have. I, at least, have a couple of young people who are willing to help with the research when I get it progressing.

The particular area has much hype but no widely available experimental results to back up any claims from either side of the discussion. I am designing the series of experiments to try, as best as I can, to get as detailed results as possible for future possible experiments and direction of research. In my own study, I have found only three other groups around the world that have even looked into the subject with any sort of experimental detail.
You realize that's a fraction of what other like software can do on Linux right? I can't share our in house comparison, and they're on a modified FreeBSD vm and network stack so it's not applicable to the public anyway. Someone in the varnish org should be able to do a competitive analysis of Varnish, ATS, and Nginx in a couple days that would be enlightening and prudent use of time to guide your product development. You and phk both seem to think I have something to gain by seeing you fail; I don't and want you to succeed. Egos have to subside for progress to happen.
It's not that they don't have empathy though. It's that they are uncomfortable with their communities changing, regardless of how that change manifests itself.

And they feel this way because they are human beings, not because they are morally callous.
