You can totally write regulations that require the consent of the community before doing things like this. It's hard to write them to not have side effects, but it's doable.

Can't you see my point? Sun was bought by Oracle because of Java, so Khosla basically developed a language which Oracle bought.

I am not belittling the achivements of Khosla, but other institutes outside India have achieved far greater than what Indian institutes can hope to attain

you can't compare Go and Java. Both languages have widely different. Java was meant to writing softwares for systems like fridges Go was meant to write softwares by a large team and exploit parallel processing architecture of modern CPUSs

And trust me, Go is much better when it comes to writing backends and web services

Java is good for enterprise software

Yes, Googles does GPS+WiFi, and CGI if they're desperate, but you didn't really address my claim.

Each of the three location methods, UTDOA, GPS, and WiFI are good at different things. They can all get 50m accuracy or better--when they work.

GPS is great outdoors and rural, but has problems with indoors and urban canyons because of sky view, attenuation and multipath. It also needs ephemeris data periodically (ie AGPS) and 5 sat fixes, which can mean 30s to first locate. Obviously WiFi is good if you can get it; it's like a street sign. UTDOA has 5s fix times and works wherever you have a cell signal, indoors or out, and also has the feature it doesn't depend on handset software; it's network based. So you really want all three, plus maybe other weaker methods like CGI, ECID, or CGITA for hybrid locations. They're all good in different cases.

So carriers ARE using two of the three methods as you point out.

But UTDOA is network based (towers), not handset, so it's expensive and carriers hated it. So much in fact, that they colluded to keep it out of the LTE standard [0] and avoid that expense and IP issues.

Skyhook, already dealing with Google [1] was bought by TruePosition, which then vanished into Skyhook since UTDOA was out of the picture. I'm pretty sure there's no UTDOA left in deployment.

So you have 2 out of three handset methods but you're lacking the third. Which means despite new FCC indoor 50m location rules[2], if you're dying indoors with no WiFi, you better not call 911 and expect a good location [3].

This was my point about business. We have the tech on the shelf to make 50m indoor reliably, we just won't.

That's only really true over long time periods. If there are 600k doctor jobs and only 500k doctors, it doesn't matter how much you pay them, you're going to have to wait around 10 years for new students to hear that wages are high and decide to study medicine instead of something else.

I think the attitudes people have towards recreational drugs are changing slowly, but they are changing.

Sidenote: while MDMA is believed to have therapeutic potential, it's usually categorized as an empathogen rather than a psychedelic. It helps people feel empathy (a connection to others) and temporarily suppresses anxiety and fear. Makes it possible to re-examine traumatic events in your past without judging yourself negatively. However, it isn't known to produce visions or a "mystical experience" as psychedelics do.

We need precision here. The intuitive notion of time that you start from has a lot of structure.

The question is where does this structure originate? Is there a fundamental thing "time" that has direction, irreversibility, a moment of now, memory of the past?

It doesn't appear so. Instead it seems that most of these properties emerge for complex systems.

If the universe was a box of gas there would be none of the above. So we conclude that time direction, memory, irreversibility, etc... are features of particular configurations of matter that we experience. A universe with the same laws of physics but without these features is conceivable, so they are not fundamental.

News from the future?

It's look like this article, according its URL, should be(?) published on May 10, 2018!

Today is only April 21, 2018.
I'd say that's more the (a) of the person I replied to. I was specifically asking about (b), "exhaustive examination of query plans, while having mental models of what btrees and hash maps are."

I do agree that understanding the relational model is hugely valuable, compared to just retrieving and converting rows to 'objects' and going from there (with, at most, some basic WHERE clause).

From my experience so far, simply moving beyond the most basic queries is already so much of a win that in most situations that are not 'web scale', it is more than enough. Especially considering the number of pretty successful companies I've seen that don't even go beyond the ORM basics.

Basically, (b) strikes me as an argument similar to, say, dropping down to assembly when in tons of cases just sticking with dog-slow Ruby is a common and legit approach to many use cases where performance isn't a serious bottleneck.
To be fair, workarounds for paywalls are usually provided by the site to maintain their SEO, so nothing is being "stolen" in that case.

To be clear, DNT being enabled by default was probably more harmful to DNT than helpful. DNT should have been a choice from users and a clear indication of intent; by making it Default, there was no conscious decision like there is with Ad-blocking. DNT should have been (be) the clear message from users they do or do not want something, an undeniable response to over-reaching TOSes.

Microsoft making it default felt less like something to help consumers and more just bandwagoning. Whether or not DNT was particularly effective as a means of __blocking__ tracking has always been irrelevant. The point was the __message__ sent by those who enabled it.
He might have or not but I have. Not as complex but similar mission critical and distributed. 90 days is nothing as outlined.

Once you go life or death situations, regulatory environment applies, backward compatability matters, ... Everything takes endless. It is not code, commit, test and deploy.

No, digital preservation is much harder than most people think. Digital media degrade too. Hard disks, optical media and magnetic tape all degrade over time.

Paper and film are fairly durable. They can be preserved without any maintenance for quite a long time.

Format obsolescence means that it can be hard to read old files. Sometimes, you need to track down a precise version of a program. The more tricky issue is that sometimes a file can render, but incorrectly on more modern versions.

Also, digital files require specialized software to read, whereas paper documents are immediately readable. Film is also readable to a certain extent without equipment.

Digital files might be deemed useless at some point in the future and dumped in the trash. Or there might not be enough money to transfer the files to a new medium.

You would think someone would have by now invented a crypto currency who’s token is a correctly folded protein.

There’s probably a rule, or law, or some such, that predicts if I do an internet search for this I will find it is already a thing.
No one considers that dogma. No one even takes it seriously.

It's a smokescreen for returning big donors' investment in political campaigns, and for the belief that corporate profits inflate the economy.

That preexisting exploit has been known since at least August 3 2017, so it's not like MS is scrambling to fix these.

... but not a profitable one, thus few will do it. Bitcoin incentivises "useful-for-everyone" tasks (mining), which makes people do it.

If you give people as much or more money for protein folding as for mining bitcoin they'll probably do that.
I can't guarantee that your phone won't do the same thing tomorrow, however I did try that form despite having my battery (or rather, the whole top case) recently replaced - not for an expanding battery (as far as I could tell), but faulty battery life nonetheless. I got the same message that you got.

Maybe think of it in terms of aeroplane engines - do you go for the latest and greatest, or the tried and tested? How can you be sure that a replacement battery won't be worse after x weeks?

My understanding (from a recent interaction between my MacBook, a glass of water, and the Genius Bar) is that the top case contains the battery and keyboard, and the logic board is a seperate, replaceable component.

Was experimenting with emoji subdomain, and found that a lot of services and browsers all handle these inconsistently.

Firefox for example does not remove ZWJ from the emoji before converting it to punycode.

Microsoft Edge considers links that were manually converted to punycode invalid if they contain characters that Edge strips (like ZWJ and variation selector). Edge also returns raw emoji string in `location` API instead of punycode strings.

Safari does a whole lot of interesting things like displaying emoji instead of punycode in the address bar and use URI encoding in URLs.

Chrome seems to handle all of the cases the best.
And who are they?
This was my experience as well, way back in the 90s-- it was like all the 'walls' dividing me from others came down.

I would add that another aspect which could have been helped by the presence of a therapist is the comedown. I went from one of the most elated & connected experiences of my entire life to one of the worst depressions, as I realized that 95% of the good feelings were fading away and my walls were involuntarily coming right back up. The only silver lining was the belief (which I still hold) that at least parts of that connectedness could be revisited by being more dedicated to cultivating moments where it was likely to occur.
> The Bundesverfassungsgericht stands beside all those

Good choice of words. They are all called highest courts (höchste Gerichte). The BVerfG concerns only those cases in which a fundamental right (Grundrecht) is concerned, as outlined in what would be called a constitution (even if some would debate that it shouldn't be called, and isn't actually named, "Verfassung").

> It‘s also the only court whose decisions themselves carry the force of law.

This is not true. The decisions of higher courts can carry the force of law. At the very least, Proceedings before the BVerfG don't suspend the force of a challenged sentence.

Unless you are able to, and the BVerfG willing to admit a breach of fundamental right, the court is rather inconsequential -- if you are even in a position to challenge. I doubt that the judicative making law as if it was the legislative branch, is seen as fundamental breach.

The romantic view of the separation of powers does not reflect reality very well. Single sentences of the lowest courts can be seen as laws on an individual basis. Saying they had to follow the law is shifting the goal post to defining what a proper law is (a problem that should be interesting to programmers).

By the way, there are also Landesverfassungsgerichte for each member state of the federation. But only the BVerfG has power to demand legislature be changed.
