If you bought property in the 1980s that cost you $50k and sold it today for $900k what exactly did you do to earn that $850k? Are you actually saying that it is not free money?

That's the effect that untaxing land (e.g. prop 13) has on property values. That's the money that would be going toward unfunded pension liabilities were the land not untaxed.
Thanks for the thorough explanation! I can't edit my answer above anymore, but I upvoted you.

This actually reminds me that there is also „lapte bătut“ in Bulgarian („бито мляко“, meaning is the same: ‘beaten milk’), and a similar trend for „iaurt de băut” („йогурт за пиене“, again the same ‘yoghurt drink’). I think it is the more literary variant of the „мътеница“-branch above since all those names for buttermilk there are from different regions.

I've seen that we have a lot of things, esp. foods or basic day-to-day phrases, that can literally be translated word for word and mean the same in Bulgarian–or South-Slavic in general–and Romanian, and often Albanian and/or Greek (and there are good historical reasons for that), so I was kind of surprised about how I interpreted the things I hastily found above. But thanks to you everything comes into place now. :)
There is a solid ecosystem for building arm instruction set mobile phones to run Android.

There are lots of little tiny IoT type things that run the arm instruction set and do it really well, but they are not in the same class as serious server motherboards.

ARM is just now barely scratching the surface of the number of pci-express 3.0 "lanes" you can get with one EPYC or threadripper socket.

There is nearly zero current ecosystem of serious server motherboards to run Linux either bare metal or with the kvm or xen hypervisors. Things with a lot of ddr4 ram, m.2 nvme SSD PCI Express slots, pci-express 3.0 x16 slots, 10 and 100 Gbps NICs (SFP+ and qsfp28 form factor).

Every arm server board I have ever seen to date is a special one off low quantity thing produced for a special purpose.

As it stands right now a manufacturer like supermicro can fit four single socket motherboards in a 2RU chassis, and populate them with something like the $750 EPYC 16-core which will run circles around anything arm based. Or a cloud scale operator can put a whole shitload of 1U size individual chassis into use with standard atx size motherboards and populate them with $275 each, ryzen 7 2700 CPUs.
The same reason Facebook took off like it did.

In Facebook's case, it was famously harvard.edu. A lot of people want to belong to or participate in exclusive clubs. Something other people are widely excluded from. The commons is Answers.com or Yahoo Answers. The people writing junk and spam questions & answers on Yahoo Answers, are not participating on Quora.

In Quora's case, it was that it originated / spread out of prestigious tech circles. A small group of connected, rather elite, techies out of Silicon Valley seeded the site in its early days. Those people were connected to other prestigious tech people, and so it went.

Adam D'Angelo is one of Quora's two founders, the former CTO of Facebook, and is a near-billionaire that went to Exeter with Zuckerberg and then CIT. Elite + connected.

Then last but not least, Quora enforces fairly high standards on quality, similar to why Stack Overflow isn't overflowing with trash despite its immense scale.

Say you have some code like,

auto button = Button::create();
window.addSubview(button);
button.setLabel("test");
button.setAlignment(Alignment::TOP_LEFT);
button.sizeToFit();

If setLabel() throws an exception, you'll end up with a half-initialized button in the view hierarchy.

For exceptions to work predictably, all mutation within a try-catch block should be captured in a transaction that can be rolled back. Then you don't need to worry about each function possibly throwing an exception. Either the entire block commits its changes, or it's as if the entire block didn't happen at all.

I don't agree with that. I'm a technically inclined person who has in the past done a ton of pirating, but nowadays I will always reach for a legal streaming service first. I actually do find, say, using Netflix much more convenient than firing up a usenet or torrent client and pulling down a video that takes 5-10 minutes to download.

And that's just me. The masses of non-tech-savvy people out there don't want to deal with pirating things. For these people, paid services are far, far superior.

I think Intel is in some trouble when, Cloudflare decide to and finish improving all the Open Source library used by majority of Internet companies with NEON optimized version, and Qualcomm ship its 2nd generation of Centriq which promised improvement in IPC, I think we are looking at 2020.

But Intel already has a New uArch they are working on specifically for Server, along with 7nm which is roughly TSMC / Samsung's 5nm. i.e Intel will still be at least 1 year ahead in leading edge node on Server.

And Let's not forget Intel's FPGA, if they can some how making it to work seamlessly in Servers.

100%.

People ignore the extent to which the signals they're using as input are simply correlated with the signals some previous gatekeeper used. Therefore, they vastly underestimate how much a person's resume is "all signal".

I'm a great case in point. At some point, scholarships I had earned became the justification for giving me more scholarships. Much of my early adult life was spent compiling signals and statuses. I absolutely tried to develop real capabilities along the way, but to say my "impressive" resume indicated significant real world value created outside my own life probably wasn't true until about age 30.

When I was a hiring manager, I tried to evaluate people on what they accomplished relative to what they were given.
I don't understand this headline. It didn't tell me why building electric cars is harder than orbital, reusable rockets. It told me that the difficulty in competing in the market for cars is relatively quite competitive, and that for reusable rockets was virtually stagnant--Which I already knew, and believe most readers here do. But we wouldn't read it if that were the headline.

The headline is open to all sort of interpretation. Most of them, misleading.

Much of the affordances of AR will require a higher FOV - irrespective of use case.

E.g.: Tagging objects, directions and buildings with tracked information, following characters in the real world etc.

Long term a complete immersive solution - where virtual objects persist in the real world, will absolutely be more useful and compelling than both VR and limited FOV AR. Such a solution would literally be able to selectively replace and amend elements of reality as needed / desired. Although we can't fully predict it's uses, it seems self evident there would be many more than a poster sized slice of AR will allow.
Technically, ARMv8 has no such thing as "NEON"; it was renamed Advanced SIMD. Only in ARMv7 is it officially called NEON.

The point you're raising is at the moment important, but ultimately irrelevant.

The scientific paper in digital format when it was first produced, did not have all the advantages of physical paper. Physical paper was easier to archive (digital storage would corrupt easily), easier to move around (you needed a computer to view a digital paper, and most people didn't have one; networks were mostly non-existent), and easier to annotate.

These were all important things to consider at the time, but the technology eventually caught up, and surpassed printed paper in most of not all aspects.

Keeping dynamic content consumable through the years, would be costlier than keeping static content consumable. But the price isn't that high. Web standards are designed with backward compatibility in mind, and the software you use to view web content (browsers) is mostly open source. I'd imagine it'd be much easier to view web content produced today in the 2030s, than it is for us to play NES games produced in the 80s.

> It's not clear to me why it's not troubling to European citizens for their government to be in charge of what information is and isn't relevant to the public. Whenever I ask people about this, I get the response "well, that's why we have courts." I dunno, Europeans must trust their courts a lot more than I trust mine.

I think we trust our governments much more than US citizens trust there government. There's a line from Ronald Reagan that goes something like:

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

The great preponderance of people in Europe simply do not think like this. For a huge range of issues that statement would actually sound reassuring in Europe. Essentially, if you believe in the rule of law and democracy, the government is simply ourselves, getting collectively together to fix something.

Note that this doesn't mean we like any particular politician. We despise many politicians. But the idea of government as a force for good still remains in Europe as far as I can see (UK). Sometimes I think the difference between Europe and the US is that we despise our politicians and quite like the non-political part of our government (civil service, NHS, etc). The US appears to hate the non-political part of it too.

This assumes a false positive is such a bad thing. I've heard a bad hire costs $X, where X is some surprisingly high number, but why must it be this way? And are these big companies even avoiding bad hires in the first place?

The other problem is sameness bias. I posit that those false negatives are disproportionately folks that are underrepresented, demographically. Therefore, this approach has concerning externalities.
Yes, it was a БЗНС thing at first. There were three major reforms in the way Modern Standard Bulgarian is written:

0. no official codification (before 1899; basically everybody wrote as they pleased and there were some differences between various authors); at some point there was a mostly standard way to write in Bulgarian, though, which was introduced and used by the precursor of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and various other institutions; https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Дриновски_правопис

1. first official codification (1899–1921 and 1923–1945 with some minor changes); https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Иванчевски_правопис

2. shortly-lived attempt to modernise it (1921–1923); https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Омарчевски_правопис

3. last and so-far successful modernisation, since it wasn't succeeded by anything else yet (1945–nowadays). It was partly inspired from the previous attempt and partly by Lenin's reforms in Russian from 1918, and not from other Bulgarian or e.g. Serbian attempts, for whatever reason. https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Правописна_реформа_на_българск...
The computations used to do symmetric and asymmetric encryptions are completely different. Asymmetric encryption is just about factoring out big numbers into primes, if we simplify things a bit. And modern computers aren't very good at it, but Quantum Computer happens to be, and can break it. Read a bit about Shor's Algorithm[0].

On the other hand, symmetric encryption can be seen as a super convoluted and costly shift cipher. And it seems that Quantum Computing does not help much with dumb and costly mathematics like this.

Also, the EU didn't invent the idea of quality classes for produce - they already existed in most EU countries, because they are genuinely useful (primarily for wholesale buyers, who benefit from knowing more exactly what they'll get). The class definitions just varied from one country to the next, which was a massive pain for producers wanting to sell internationally - so the idea was that every EU country would agree on a common set of classes, making things simpler for everyone involved.

> every scientific paper ever published will be around until the end of humanity, whereas this interactive web page will surely disappear within a decade or two.

I think you're conflating two distinct issues. One is whether the media is static or interactive, and the other is whether it is a page on the web or stored in some other fashion.

If the scientific papers will be around long-term, that's likely because they'll be stored in some sort of database. There's no reason why interactive media couldn't be similarly stored.

(Yes, there are issues about being able to run the interactive content in the future, though you don't bring that up).
We've talked about this. It's part of the thinking around where the engagement sweet spot is: there IS some value that things like FB bring to your life, but beyond that, they're detrimental. Where is that point? Can you find it? Can you habituate people to it? Dunno.
Sure and that's why we have science magazines like New Scientist, National Geographic, Nature etc. They read papers most of us won't understand and translate them into a form that is more approachable.

I would't want the actual scientist to also have to worry about the "design representation" of their research. If their work is important enough, others will do it for them.
Einstein failed experimental physics (src: Isaacson's bio)
I love it when people do take the time to do good information visualisation, especially when it helps everyone understand a complex idea.

However, I do think that those who believe that all academic papers should take this form fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of academic papers. Sadly, most of these papers are not about improving universal knowledge - instead they are simply attempting to convey to their peers some insight into a commonly understood problem or question. Because they are aiming at such a small target audience who have a deep understanding of the problem domain, shorthand and skimping on explainatory visualisations is not only an acceptable choice - it can make the difference between a paper being published or not. Few academics have the time, experience or funding to make beautiful visualisations - and those that can afford to spend them on that aspect often do so in exchange for depth of insight - and thus they are often seen as less valuable.
I would argue that it's actually the opposite. To understand how borrows work right now takes more understanding of how the checker operates than with non lexical lifetimes.

>> So a Commission that isn't elected gets to force it's will on otherwise democratic countries?

The Commission is staffed by elected politicians, one for every country of the EU. The Commission's President is elected by members of the European Parliament, themselves elected directly by the people of the EU member states in the European Elections, held every 4 years.

The Commission is a legislative body; it makes legislation, but legislation must be passed into law by voting in the European Parliament by MEPs.

A lot has been made into the eurosceptic press about the "non-democratic" nature of the EU. These news items overlook the difference between an elected politician and an official appointed by elected politicians. For example, US Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the US President and confirmed by the Senate and they are the final arbiters of fedral law, not to mention their appointment is lifelong.

If setLabel() throws an exception, the scope is left, cleaning up button, which then no longer exists.
The only try/catch blocks are where you can do anything usefull. That's typically only at the highest level of the application.

Exceptions depends on RAII, that's true.
No mystery, just a morality tale: If you can f8ck someone, do it whether is legal or not.

That’s interesting, I’ve read articles stating the operational costs were supposed to be much lower than the F35.

The button has to exist after leaving the scope, since the whole point is to create it and add it to the window. It can't remove itself when the function returns.

You could make this general idea work, though, by adding a "button.commit();" at the end of the function. The button destructor would remove itself unless commit() had been called -- basically an ad-hoc transaction on the level of a single button.
