New York takes on a lot of cases with national implications, usually out of the Southern District. Having the AG on this is an even bigger deal than that, and a strong indication of a potential crackdown nationally.
Happened to me a week ago. I had to hop and scream at my host to get it back.

This is why I'm happy the EU is twisting ICANN's arm. This information shouldn't be easy for spammers to harvest.
Explicitly replicated, rarely. But other similar studies will either reinforce or call into question the original result. This has a similar effect as replication over time.
Just to tack onto this, from what I understand, quality at each of the GA locations varied wildly. Part of that is it's on the instructors to come up with all the details of the curriculum so instruction varies from class to class depending on whether or not the instructor had taught it before, or if HQ decided to change the material in the course. My understanding as a former evening class instructor was the SF location was a shit show, whereas the Boston location where I taught had better outcomes.
My recollection (which is admittedly fuzzy) is in line with yours. MD was the first application of GPU-accelerated computing that I recall (partly cause NVidia seemed to push that). BLAS, LAPACK, etc got GPU-enabled later.

Am I correct in reading the license in Github that this is all GPL? Albeit GPL2 but still not some Oracle proprietary license.

"One VM to rule them all" reminds me of Parrot VM (for Perl 6). Looks like development slowed down a year or two ago. Back then, it got me excited as it looked like the "open source community" alternative to "Big Corporate Java".

WestJet website doesn’t say anything about this. Actually mentions purchasing a seat as an option but no refund. Any update on this or with other airlines?
There's a series of books titled "Very Short Introduction" where many of them will cover schools, topics, and thinkers involved in philosophy. They run about 150-200 pages and often provide a good overview of the material. I read the books on philosophy, philosophy of science, Habermas, etc. and they were very good.

I would start with "Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction" by Edward Craig, see what catches your interest, and go from there.

Also +1 for Russell's "A History of Western Philosophy".
This is the archetypal use case for cloud services - most retailers (now at least, they didn't use to), have some kind of autoscaling switched on and I'd imagine this is the same.
Personal details related to a car, right? And real estate? I don't understand your argument.
I came here pissed off, saw your comment, listened to the arguments, and walk away pleased with the performance of our justice system.

A court found personal jurisdiction over an individual before the court, issued an order requiring the disclosure of information and then expected the person to comply with the order irrespective of where said information was stored. If you break American law in America, saying "the information is overseas" isn't--and shouldn't be--a valid excuse. Extending that to a third-party providers, when both the individual and provider are in America, makes sense.

Could this be abused? Sure. But the oral arguments show the Justices giving the question respectful concern.

This is one of several reasons why I file on paper.

I caught a glimpse of how the sausages were made once, thanks to family connections. That was enough. It's completely reasonable to assume that the IRS is operating on technology that is at least 5 years out of date, and possibly as much as 40. They have just barely enough resources to serve their overall departmental mandate.

This is only partially on the IRS itself, and also on the politically motivated processes that intentionally underfund it, especially with regard to taxpayer assistance, guidance, or convenience. If not this year, next year, and if not then, call the office of the nearest archdiocese to investigate out who was responsible for the miracle of the unborked servers, and the miracle of the balancing of the surge traffic.

At least computing resources can be repurposed more easily. That can be done with parking lots (park-and-rides, carnivals, etc.) but the physical proximity makes that much harder.
Sanitized at opening and closing every day. And my store was really strict about washing your hands in between things like that. Caught not washing hands once? It's a scolding. Caught twice? Go home. Actually all the fast food and delivery places I worked at were very strict about this, which was relieving.

Technically we were supposed to wear gloves while touching food but no one did. Makes it too slow when you need to key your next order or pick up the phone (even though there were specific job titles, everyone just did every role). Maybe at OP's store the reason the tracker is never updated in real time is because they actually wear gloves :P
JP Morgan was recently sued for defrauding cryptocurrency buyers. We can be assured the corruption is intertwined.
According to wikipedia, the difference between explosive/violent decrompression and rapid decompression is if the air is able to safely exit the lungs. On an aircraft that means that decompression that takes less than half a second (or a tenth of a second depending on the pressure differential).

That’s just not true for several reasons.

First off, your statement is false. There are quite literally millions of people globally who both support gay rights and do not think promiscuity is good. You might be confusing “finding promiscuity bad” with “condemning promiscuity”, which are obviously two distinct concepts. Even if they were considered the same, it’s still obviously not true.

Second, it’s clear that—generally speaking—developed western societies no longer “regard homosexuality as dangerous to harmonious society”. Otherwise there would obviously not be widespread support for same-sex marriage. That feeling isn’t universal yet, but it’s unlikely to be terribly long until society generally stops worrying about it.
Pilots and controllers are also intimately aware that every word and intonation will be scrutinized in the wake of an accident. They’re generally very well trained, but that’s an added motivation.
I was a contractor that taught evening classes. Definitely agree that quality is all on the instructors, and quality of outcomes varied between instructors and campuses. When I was still teaching, I was pretty sure WDI instructors were full time employees. Is that not still the case? The biggest issue I heard from the WDI guys I knew was burnout. They were doing 40 hours in class, then class prep/student aid outside. For the same salary as a dev, they basically had 60-80 hour weeks in session.

No it's not. I think you are perhaps intentionally being a bit obtuse to make a point, but you are better off just coming out and stating your beliefs.

In this case: major finance players are top dogs in Albany politics (along with other FIRE economy and pharma). Their input most certainly has influenced and is influencing both investigations (or lack thereof) into criminal activity in big banks and other financial institutions, as well as into crypto-blockchain tech.

Some big players probably want more robust assurance that their crypto assets are protected. Others probably want to create pain in the space either because they hold a short position or because they have fear of losing their regulatory capture.

But acting like there is no relationship between the (absence of meaningful) investigations into NY finance and this news is unhelpful.

How does this work if you get something like a W2, which is issued for the calendar year? Let's say your "personal" tax year starts and ends July 1 of each year. Are you supposed to split your W2 in half and count each for each year?

Sounds quite complex. I'm surprised they permit it.

I think this stems from a common misconception that ATC is “in charge.” Yes, compliance with ATC is mandatory, but in an emergency, priority number one is to fly the airplane. ATC can’t help you there. Communication with ATC is priority number three. ATC cleared the airspace for her and has her on radar; there’s nothing else they can do.

I'm certainly not saying it isn't serious. I just wouldn't plaster it as a historical recurrence.

Wikipedia suggests Southwest has at least 700 aircraft running 6 flights per day, implying 4,200+ flights per day, implying about 1.5+ million flights per year.

1-3 flights with major incidents out of 1.5 million? I would hardly call that a "wave of malfunctions" as it stands.

But I do agree comparing maintenance facilities would be interesting.
Closer to a third, but probably more than half of the population in huge cities with terrible air...
I'm not suggesting anything in particular and maybe shouldn't have used the word lobbyist and certainly don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut - but it's a good thing to keep in mind that if/when existing banks and existing exchanges become involved in trading cryptos, they'll want less competition from the vulnerable incumbents.

I completely agree though. I can't even begin to imagine what the crypto exchanges are getting away with. I haven't read about about any dark pool scandals in years so I think the banks have been behaving better.
Fortunately all the cryptocurrency in and out transactions are irrevocably documented on a public legder.
Ah, yes, I read you as saying that "1 out of every 20 statistical tests in every journal is guaranteed to be wrong. It's just stats, people."

If what you mean to say is that "1 out of every 20 statistical tests of a false finding will demonstrate a 'significant' p-value and may subsequently get published," then we're in agreement.
Varies per airline. But usually when I fly it's still the best (legroom/total ticket price) :)

Oh, great. I'm trying to file today online, though I need to look for a free service and redo all the paperwork because I'm broke and can't afford the filing fee. And now this.

Can't they just announce an extension and give everyone extra time? That wouldn't solve all my problems, but it would take some pressure off.

This is stupid. Just tell people the deadline is extended.

But they aren't likely to do that.

It reminds me of British Airways Flight 5390.

27 hours before the flight, a cockpit window was replaced. Unfortunately, 84 of the 90 bolts used by the maintenance crew had a diameter 0.66 mm less than the documentation called for, so the window was not held in place as strongly as it should have been.

On top of that, this plane had a design flaw. Its windows were bolted on from the outside, not the inside, meaning that the bolts had to hold against the force from the difference between the pressure in the pressurized cabin and outside. Bolts on windows bolted from the inside only have to deal with much smaller forces, such as wind during takeoff and at low altitude, and then only until the pressure difference gets high enough to take all of the force off the bolts.

So...window pops out, and pilot starts getting sucked out. His legs got caught on the flight controls, and a flight attendant was able to grab the pilot's belt and hold on. The pilot was getting blown all around by the wind, and the guy holding on was getting bruised by all the motion, and was also getting frostbite. They could also see the pilot's face hitting the window, and saw his eyes were open but not blinking. They assumed he was dead, but decided to keep holding on, out of concern that if they let the body go it might get sucked into an engine and they already had enough problems (pilot's legs were still tangled in the flight controls, and they also could not hear the radios because of the noise from the wind).

They did manage to get down OK, and everyone was surprised to find the pilot had survived. He had frostbite, shock, bruising, and broken arm and wrist on one side and thumb on the other. The flight attendant who had held him the most had a dislocated shoulder, and frostbite damage to his face and one eye.

This incident was covered in the documentary series "Air Disasters" ("Mayday" in Canada, "Air Crash Investigation" elsewhere). Here's the Wikipedia article on the accident for complete details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_5390
So if the Nazis weren't mass-murders, and instead just had an ideology revolving around the inherent inferiority of anyone other than Aryans (naturally that would probably include bans on intermarriage, restrictions on social race-mixing, and the like), that would have been alright? I don't think I agree.

Frankly, genocide, or at least dehumanization and extreme indifference, seems like the logical endpoint of sincere belief in the concept of a "master race" which is inherently good and is hamstrung by perfidious inferior races. Once you've determined that a member of one race is worth less than another, it's natural to judge that the death of a member of this inferior race would be justifiable to save the race of a member of the superior race, and in this way the concept of genocide becomes, in your mind, a "defensive" action.

* Terry Pratchett had a problem with endings, but his plotting is often fantastic.

* Iain M. Banks. Consider Phlebas is a "heist" novel that resembles Neuromancer in structure, but where the mechanics of the plot never gets in your face. The Algebraist (which is a great read despite being way overlong) and Against a Dark Background resemble Gibson in certain ways. Player of Games, Feersum Enjinn (which often reads like something Terry Pratchett might have come up with) and Use of Weapons are also really well-plotted novels.

* Philip K. Dick rarely sticks his endings, but he has some great plot-based stories, such as Ubik and Three Stigmata.

* Gene Wolfe.

On the topic of algorithms helping you discover your own 'taste' (whatever that may be), some time ago when the topic came up on HN someone linked this interesting paper: "Recommender Systems for Self-Actualization" [1], which suggests some methods how filter bubbles could be avoided. I really liked it and its suggestions like having extra recommendation lists for things the user will likely hate, items that are very polarizing in the user base or things no one ever rated before.

You never really explained why you file on paper.

Yes, the IRS has outdated tech', but that within itself isn't really an argument for why you needed to switch to filing on paper after you learned "how the sausages were made." Plus aren't paper filings just typed in by hand, and turned into eFilings anyway? Both go through the same pipeline after a point.
We are getting there, lots of things work right out of the box just fine. C extensions are still being actively worked on as they often need some amount of patching because of assumptions they make about types and so forth. I think we can reduce that, but I doubt it can will disappear entirely, but in the end I hope extension authors will test on TruffleRuby themselves and patch the code themselves.

Dying of a heart attack is a serious worry of mine when flying. I have extreme, and I mean EXTREME anxiety (190+ BPM) whenever anything even remotely wrong (turbulence) happens.

To answer your question directly, AWS's poor spike handling has really made me distrustful of them. It's not that AWS's support staff is bad (actually, they're phenomenal given the difficulty of that job) but... the fact that I can be taken down by a big scale event because I can't pre-scale my ELBs without support help that takes hours is kinda annoying.

Now, I've been TOLD by ___________________________________ this is actually because it's a pain in the butt and they're working to fix it, but AWS's budget seems to favor new shinies over iterating on the existing environment. Look how long it took us to get a new and less buggy AWS dashboard and that still hasn't propagated to all the internal services.

I could go on. For example, my experience is that GCE's and even Azure's I/O and networking is way faster, more consistent and more reliable than AWSs. I host all my dev boxes on GCE because using an attached drive (so I can de/re-provision to save on costs) is much less agonizing. Also: google has some AMAZING database products that category kill whole infrastructure tasks. It's a very good kind of vendor lock-in when they can say, "You can't move away because no one else has found a way to provide our feature set."
