This is an old thread already and I don't know if I'm getting my voice heard. But at any rate: hypothesis testing (slightly different philosophically from p-values, but anyway) is bogus because conjectures-and-refutations falsificationism is bogus. That's not how good science has ever happened, only how bogus research programs have dressed themselves in science.

The core of science is "the unity of science". Signal-to-noise measurements tell you very little outside a general coherentist/holistic verificationist framework.

Not working with Facebook and Google is suicide for a media outlet right now, and as consumers of news, we're not entirely blameless in that dilemma.

Doesn't justify the tracking and intrusive ads, all I'm saying is, businesses are gonna business. Even here, an aggregator and community I respect, people complain about trackers and in the next breath, get angry because sites like the Wall Street Journal have setup paywalls, and some even get angry about things like the Guardian asking for a donation at the end of their articles.

I mean I can't imagine these news sites enjoy selling their souls to the Devil, but it's not like we gave them a massive list of alternatives.
In practice, you'll find that the "discrete components" (official term for the miscellaneous things that aren't ICs) are also making up modules - that is, they're used as parts of standard recognisable sub-systems to perform a particular function. Such as "decoupling capacitor", "termination resistor", "common emitter amplifier", "pi filter" and so on.

I don't think you can really "cookbook" without knowing any theory, but the amount of theory you need is fairly small and you don't necessarily need all the maths.

"The Art Of Electronics" is the standard book to refer people to.
This affects hotels/conference rooms in Singapore a lot. It's a bit absurd - I needed shorts+tshirt to survive the trip to the hotel and then a sweater to survive the conference inside. I'm not sure how can people deal with it every day.
No, both Neanderthals and humans are generally believed to have each evolved from Homo habilis separately, and then later interbred to varying degrees in various locales.

It’s not as “modular” as you might expect if you come from software like me, you might think of each component as a “consumer” and a “producer”. You mentioned a capacitor, check out LRC circuits. When you put certain components together they act in non-linear ways that can be described using differential equations.
Yes, that's what they think if they offer that. And my additional point was that what westerners consider "network connections" you can't have with Chinese people if you are not of Chinese heritage nor married to a Chinese wife. Even if you are a woman and married to a Chinese husband it might not be enough, because he won't listen to you in business related issues. Also hiring Chinese consultants to take care of the relationship won't work, because when the fighting starts they will side at least secretly with the Chinese other party.

Also one needs to consider that culture is not just weird behavior. Through the back and forth of each appropriate reaction a Chinese person can achieve something with other Chinese people, despite him being also very frustrated with how the Chinese culture works. Because you don't know the intuitive right reaction you cannot get to that point where you can finally get some honest/valuable response. It can't be learned from a book. You need to grow up with this, because even the Chinese people don't really understand why it works.
Oh my, yes, that’s a huge downside / nonstarter for me. Thank you.

This depends on how you define “blockchain”. If your model is bitcoin-style with attempts at anonymous consensus it's definitely a negative contribution.

If you're not trying to get rich quick, however, something a Merkle tree is a great fit and it seems like there'd be value in a distributed system where trusted peers can vouch for either having seen the same content (even if they cannot distribute it due to copyright) or confirm that they saw you present a given object as having a certain hash at a specific time. Whether that's called a blockchain is a philosophical question but I think it'd be a good step up over self-publishing hashes since it'd avoid the need for people to know in advance what they'd like to archive.

To make that concrete, imagine if the web archiving space had some sort of distributed signature system like that. The first time the integrity of the Internet Archive is called into question, anyone on the internet who cared could check and see a provenance record something like this:

IA: URL x had SHA-512 y at time z

Library of Congress: URL x also had SHA-512 y at time [roughly z]

British Library: We didn't capture URL x around time z but we cross-signed the IA and LC manifests shortly after they crawled them and saw SHA-512 y

J. Random Volunteer Archivist: I also saw IA present that hash at that time

That'd give a high degree of confidence in many cases since these are automated systems and it'd lower the window where someone could modify data without getting caught, similar to how someone might be able to rewrite Git history without being noticed but only until someone else fetches the same repo.

(Disclaimer: I work at LC but not on web archiving and this comment is just my personal opinion on my own time)
>Just answering the literal question is not helpful and in many cases simply not possible.

It's not just that the pay is a problem (although it usually is). It's also that if someone has been in a role for a long time and has not bothered to level up their skills enough that they could pass at least our Mid bar, we question if they have enough initiative to move beyond a Junior role once they're here -- and we don't want people to be Juniors forever.
What are these fields in which you can't use functional programming and it isn't desirable? (It's true there should be more engineering done on implementations of scientific stuff.) I've seen how unnatural imperative programming was to physicists who hadn't been exposed to it.

Seven Factors That Will Determine Success of Your ICO
That won't work because any hash on it's own would be trivial to regenerate after modifying the data. You need something that can't be changed retrospectively in order to trust it.

That's what makes the blockchain useful - to change anything you'd need to regenerate all the hashes after the point you want to modify. That's a lot more difficult. Having a proof that's generated by network of parties (like a cryptocurrency) would add to the trust level, but it's not essential.

EDIT: If the archive published hashes of everything they added daily in the NYT (or any publication) it would become unprintably large. It would only work digitally, at which point we're back to something that's trivial to modify...

From what I understand, RCS is not encrypted so that the carriers can implement it as a SMS replacement and still comply with wire tapping regulations (IANAL, so if anything I just said is wrong, please respond).

However, once RCS is implemented by the carriers, I see no reason Google's Allo couldn't be updated to use RCS and still implement an encryption layer on top of it.

Some years ago at the Louvre, one could see quite a few visitors hurriedly walking past walls of Italian Renaissance art, any hundred square feet of which walls would be the making of a small American city's museum, to stand at ten yards from the Mona Lisa and take a picture. I suppose that some number of them, having checked that off, went on to look around and see what else the Louvre had.

It's an exaggeration to claim that "almost every other literary genre is about character development". Detective, espionage and historical novels usually aren't "about" character development, I think, and those are probably the biggest genres if you exclude romance and sci-fi.

Of course one would expect to see some character development in a story that covers a large part of anyone's life but that doesn't make the story "about" character development.

Most so-called literary fiction (the stuff that gets lots of highbrow reviews, not so many sales, wins prizes this year and is totally forgotten in two years' time) tends to be about character development, perhaps even more so than romance.
I find this a rather dangerous precedent. At best, it's an incompatible extension over what would be standard email and it further expands Google's walled garden, and at worst it sets up a false expectation of security, ending up as little as snake oil and possibly setting up people to dangerous situations. Nothing hints at messages being PGP encrypted (Or being encrypted, period. "Recipient verification" just looks to me like a way to get an acknowledgment of receipt) or even how Google disposes of "expired" messages.

I don't feel any of these things provide people with more or better opportunities than those I have here, or elsewhere in many western-European or Asian countries.

The universities here are great, and actually rank equal to or better than all but a handful of US ones. The quality and availability of health care is basically the same, for a much lower price. Even for rare treatment options that are only available abroad (e.g. in the US), which are covered through regular health insurance. There are many high-tech companies in countries like the UK, Germany, Scaninavia, Netherlands, etc. Maybe not as many software companies as in Silicon Valley, but those only employ a tiny percentage of people. If you have a university or college degree you can make a great living here, and your standard of living is most definitely a lot better than in Silicon Valley. I know because I travel there regularly for work and have many direct colleagues who live and work there, some who transfered from here, and I know how much they make and what their cost of living is.

Having 'more of X', 'biggest of', 'best of', 'largest economy' have exactly zero meaning in the context of the lives of individual people. Just looking around what we have here, and what you have in the US, there are no 'pros of capitalism unchecked' that are exclusive to the US for the vast majority of people. There are many cons though.

There reason for my somewhat snarky original comment is that I honestly don't think anyone could come up with any factual, comprehensive facts that prove that the US has any exclusive benefits from 'capitalism unchecked'. In fact, most lists (per capita income, poverty, cost of living, education, vertical mobility, health care, and maybe most importantly: happiness) the US is not even near the top.

Artificial scarcity of garbage disposal maybe? Where I live in Australia, you wouldn't be able to put 13 gallons of trash a day in a bin. The trash bin has maybe 20-30 gallons total and gets taken every other week. The recycling and compost are larger and get taken more often. You could produce more garbage of course, but then it's up to you to drive to the tip and you'll have to pay to drop stuff off.

It looks like Subscribe's `to` prop expects an array. So, `[CounterContainer]` is just an array with a CounterContainer in it.

The `{ }` that wrap it are just part of the syntax of passing props. If you wanted to pass an object literal to a prop, you'd have to double-up the curly braces:

<div style={{ color: 'white' }} />

And strings can be passed with or without curly braces:

// both of these are fine:
<div id='foo' />
<div id={'foo'} />

Not trying to sound an a--hole (maybe I do) but isn't this your problem? If you want something, then you gotta work or provide to have it. Why do you want society to go out of its way, and make laws to protect your "stuff". Now, if many people think alike then it could be beneficiary.

Owning a piece of land is not really owning it. Not in the USA, and most of the world. You are having a "privilege" of using the land vs. paying some taxes.

That being said I don't approve of home taxes in the US. The taxes should be applied equally on all citizens to provide the required amenities (roads, cables, sanitary, etc...) The money should go to maintain the relevant infrastructure.

I'm not sure if the taxes you pay on your home value in the US goes to relevant infrastructure; or else (nor do I really care!)
In fact, I probably have timestamps for the raw WARC files in the wayback machine archive which would prove that any hacking must have happened prior to May 2017: https://petertodd.org/2017/carbon-dating-the-internet-archiv...

Unfortunately, the files themselves aren't public, and each file contains dumps from hundreds of websites, so even if they were public they're not the easiest thing to verify.

Still, being the guy behind OpenTimestamps I should point out that in this case I don't think timestamp proofs really add that much: Reid's claims seem dubious even without cryptographic proof.

I think there's also a tradeoff. If they had redirected a large chunk of AWS traffic to their machines it would have been hard to handle, by redirecting Route53 and poisoning DNS they get a big bang for their buck because the public resolvers (like 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1) will take the poisoned records and do the real work of serving the DNS records.

So, I think it was a rational choice.
I hope you're right, that the current situation for OpenJDK users remains basically unchanged. I pretty much stick to OpenJDK these days, anyway.

That doesn't really answer the question: that prevents you from changing a contract after accepting it but it doesn't prevent someone else from saying that they will no longer sign contracts at old rates.

This is good because otherwise the system would be completely unworkable in the real world where prices and exchange rates change over time — for example, suppose that a shipping partner increases their rates to handle fuel price increases — you'd need a way to charge more for shipping as soon as that happens. The same would apply to anything involving cryptocurrencies with their wildly-fluctuating exchange rates which don't match the real money either side will need to use.
If you put the data itself in the blockchain then that would be true. I'm suggesting putting a hash of the data in a blockchain; you could delete the data and keep the hash in the chain. You couldn't regenerate the hash to check it which might be a problem but if the data has been deleted you'd have to accept the hash regardless. It'd only affect that link in the chain. (This is from my limited understanding of blockchain math. I definitely could be wrong.)
Personally, I think the Forrest Mims books are THE best place to learn about circuits from zero. I read them when I was a kid, and still refer to them regularly. I especially like the combination of metaphors & drawings he uses to explain some of the concepts. He explains what's actually happening at the electron level, and provides helpful mental abstractions on top of that.

That might be true for city buses, but I think every public school operates at least one school bus. Especially in the rural parts of the country. School buses seem like an easy target for electrification ("think of the children", etc.).
At least in commercial buildings in humid climates, building air is cooled by industrial chillers to lower humidty to acceptable levels (chiefly to inhibit mold growth I think), then the air is heated for comfort. So it would actually use more energy to make these spaces warmer. This is what I have been told by some building engineers/architects.
