Those dreams of glorious pasts are usually very self-defeating (lots of costly police actions in former colonys) with no visibile reward - and thus not half as dangerous as internalized past injustices.

Nazi Germany, Japan, and alot of other countrys got drunk on the injustices of the past and used them to justify atrocities in neighbouring countrys. If it were not for the nukes, alot of those nationalist movements would turn into the same pyro-clastic streaming movements we saw in WW2 spilling over borders and running away with civilization.

Political Discourse on Social Media: Echo Chambers, Gatekeepers, Bipartisanship
I have never gotten or even heard about someone getting a ticket for eating/drinking while driving. It would be national news if someone got one of these tickets. Going through the drive-through for a cup of coffee and drinking it on your way to work is part of the norm here, dare I say that it’s part of our national identity.

Sure, it’s technically a crime. But it’s never enforced unless you’re being extremely negligent, just like jay walking. I think officers use the rule of “did you cause other drivers to take action to avoid you?” when enforcing this.
is it just me or these are really poorly designed courses? I took the RL course and it first started describing papers in RL with little context (under applications of RL). The course then jumped to bandits and I was hoping it will describe the foundations but it assumed students know about the regret minimization framework. Researchers are traditionally not the best educators -- I usually pick tutorials in conferences that are done by professors as opposed to researchers despite their content.
Yeah, this is more like the Socratic method but one-sided and with leading questions. Being a method for uncovering the truth, I guess that's OK if the question you're trying to investigate is "What is the proposal?".
If it is five lines of code vs. one line of code, and we believe that the number of bugs is proportional to the number of lines of code, irrespective of which language we are programming in, then this would be an obvious benefit.

And it isn't four lines saved, but four lines times the number of uses in the entire code base.

Lululemon is the best for this. You can tell that "where does the phone go" is an important step in the design process for most of their products. Most of their guys clothes have an extra little spandex sleeve inside one of the pockets to snugly hold a phone and keep it separate from whatever else you put in that pocket.
Innovative approach! Hopefully someone reacts well to this ;)
The nature of iPhone access is very different: you want to make sure you feel the phone go off, and it's culturally acceptable, so concealment isn't a concern, which means that 'summer clothing' can include fitted shirts and needn't include a belt.

Making concessions in your attire for the sake of your hobby is a necessary evil. That isn't the case for phones.

That's not remotely what I said. My main point is I wish folks with a lot of income and other privileges would stop saying things like "There's plenty of affordable housing! All you have to do is move to Detroit!"

If you want to take the position that people can just move someplace cheaper, the way to do that without being a jerk is to help facilitate that in some way instead of turning a blind eye to the reality that expensive places have jobs, cheap places tend to lack them and the housing crisis is very much real. It isn't a made up complaint.

On a positive note sharding technology does have great promise because of the problems that it can potentially solve. With Bitcoin you can only validate a transaction by having all of the unspent transactions in memory [1]. With a sharded system you only need to have a subset of those transactions in memory.

At a fundamental technological level you are increasing the size of available memory by using the memory of other nodes. And there are ways you can query other nodes about their subset of unspent transactions by using a merkle tree. If you trust the root of a balanced merkle tree you only need O(log(n)) computations [2] to prove that a leaf belongs to it.

This sharding mechanism could be added to bitcoin where the root of the merkle tree of the unspent transactions is added to each block. Nodes on the network can store a sub-tree of arbitary size and validate part of each block. Whether this scheme would be robust to dishonest miners is still an open question though.

a cyrillic keyboard to my laptop that I'd have to memorize what latin key it replaces.

My laptop flips to French fairly regularly (machine was created with an image containing French and English keyboards) and it is frustrating as it is only easier in the sense that it is poking around for the 1 key to find e with grave or the like vs playing with keystrokes until I land on alt+0232 on numpad.

Phones with touchscreen keyboards though, yeah, I could see that being reasonably okay.
Interesting question. For Bitcoin it would be difficult because of the small amount of data (except for maybe 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0), but what about i2p, IPFS, etc?
In the U.S., "auto care" means automobile (car) maintenance. In other words, car repair shops must list or quote you a price before service.
According to the article, Turkish literacy was low at the time that change was enacted. Of course historians will cope but I'm talking about everyday people here.
For a majority of that time I have been taking the "shotgun approach" of applying to tons of software development positions regardless of the company and its size, and only trying to meet some of their requirements. Then I realized that I was doing that too much.

In all, I probably have applied to somewhere between 1000 and 1500 job listings in the past three years, if I were to take a guess. I have taken about 40 first round interviews and about 10 on-sites. 90% of the jobs are local (I live in Chicago), and the other 10% are out of state or remote.

I stopped trying that brute-force approach sometime last summer and have been focusing more on research and applying only to companies that I truly have a vested interest in. My interview-to-application ratio has improved so I can now use my time more efficiently.
Just how many jobs do you need? It only takes one good one that pays the appropriate amount, right?
Yes if everyone were commuting 3 hours then that would tilt the scales toward telecommuting in a big way.

But 3 hrs daily commute time is still an outlier, even in the Bay Area. Especially since many major companies have shuttles that allow people to use their commute time productively.

So once you make it as an extension, any chance to mix PipelineDB with Citus in one cluster?

My hunch says that it's possible as far as there is some additional computation done with the future aggregate query on the coordinator in Citus.

PPDB looks interesting, but we also need to keep the underlying raw data and multiple clusters require more complex pipeline.
Somehow I think that at 3 year anniversary of ICE people had some actual real world use cases for ICE where ICE was still somehow better than steam engine and animals, even if ICE itself was objectively terrible?
I'm really curious about how this will be implemented from a software standpoint. Will the language use the same ISO (or whatever body determines them) browser language code like en-US or will there need to be two separate codes that exist in parallel, one for the old cyrillic version, and one for the new latin one.

Are there any modern examples of this sort of transition having to be implemented? I think we all think of the set of possible language codes as something that has been static for a long time, but this shows that it can be rather fluid.
As a convicted felon, and someone working to help returning citizens find employment opportunities, several pieces of advice:

1) Look into the Federal Bonding Program. This may help some smaller employers overcome fears of working with you. Everyone qualifies and it is free for the employer and job seeker.

2) Be ready to take any position at any rate. You may even consider finding non-developer jobs for the time being, at least until at little more time has passed since your conviction/release. I can't emphasize how powerful it can be to build trust again with employers. Working a warehouse job where you show up everyday, work hard, and always go the extra mile, even if you only do it for six months or a year, can be a powerful step to getting bigger, better jobs. You can always do consulting, freelance work on the side to keep your skills up.

3) Unfortunately for you sex offenses are tough to overcome and even harder to convince employers to hire you for. Your inability to travel out of state with ease, plus other restrictions associated with the registry, can make hiring decisions for sex offenders difficult. Your best bet is to aim for small, local employers or remote contract work. Possibly even starting your own business.

4) Your web page comes across as downplaying the severity of your offenses or as if they were just little mistakes. No offense, but this was a thought out sex crime. While they may be minor crimes, in the eyes of many any sex offense is a major red flag. Even more so when those crimes center around child sex offenses. I would work on getting letters of recommendation from influential people in your life. Your therapist, pastor/priest, probation officer, etc... Let potential employers know that you have these letters instead of just saying that "Everyone I know agrees I'm a different person".

5) Personally, I would avoid the paragraphs of what other offers you received. While you say "competitive rate", you flaunt the offer amounts and you don't mention what that competitive rate is. As a potential employer I may be skeptical that you are looking for a salary around those numbers.

With that said, I will put feelers out to my contacts to see if anyone is looking for a programmer with your skills.

Good luck!
Saab's had similar complicated cupholders that broke all the time. To fix it was about $300 just for parts.
> I don't follow your reasoning. Private insurance pays physicians more than medicare, producing the implied subsidy you mention (as they pay less). But once patients get onto medicare, they dont go to private insurance anymore so there is no subsidy: almost all the money is spent by the state at that stage.

As a provider, let's say 40% of your patients are on Medicare, and 60% are on private insurance. On average, you're losing money on a per-patient basis for 40% of your patient base, since Medicare's reimbursement rates are below COGS. You stay in the black by charging the remaining 60% enough to make up the difference.

Without the privately-insured patient base to subsidize the Medicare patients, the provider would go out of business immediately, because they wouldn't even have enough revenue to cover the direct, marginal costs of supplies for each treatment, let alone anything to pay for staff wages, office space, overhead, etc.

> I would surely like some formal study and analysis on this, i feel this is very theoretical.

This isn't theoretical at all. It's no secret that Medicare's reimbursement rates are below sustainable levels. Medicare itself admits as much. For providers that see a high enough percentage of Medicare patients that they can't effectively distribute the costs among their privately-insured patients (because there aren't enough of them), Medicare actually runs special stipend programs, where they provide you with extra money to stay afloat (separately from the regular reimbursements).
That would be illegal almost everywhere in the US. Also on a practical level, I think that would backfire. Lower level employees with less leverage will take the best job they can get, and then find themselves on the blacklist, essentially forced to work for unethical companies for the rest of their careers. It might make more sense to encourage poaching from unethical companies, so that employees are encouraged to leave.

To determine that a given file came from a particular person, it would have to have a signature from that person's private key.

1. The web server doesn't sign content; HTTPS keys just provide encryption.

2. The HTTPS connection operates under the web server's certificate; it'll serve any file without regard to who created it.

Ponzi schemes are terrible. Many ICOs aren't much more. However, blockchain enables digital scarcity. That's an interesting piece of technology right there. Using it as a state-machine is a very interesting application of it. IMHO many negative emotional responses come from scamming applications, many positive ones from new possibilities created by the technology, some of both are just due to the transformative nature of its application.
1. The web was already used for all sorts of things in that period. Geocities was a wonderful open world; I have fond memories of Simpsons and X-Files fan webrings. Not to mention services like ebay, Amazon, or Craigslist arose during that period.

2. Even if we accept your statement as true, the world wide web became generally available in 1991. Blockchain technology has now been around for a decade. The web certainly showed its practical usefulness in its first 10 years, yet blockchain remains largely in the realm of hype.
I am not familiar with recent numbers, but most controversies and calls to stop patronising a service have a positive immediate impact on the numbers of most companies where I worked (and that included Facebook some years ago).

If you mean by method-based pattern matching that you evaluate a function for each 'case'. My lib can do that do:

const match = require('pmatch-js')
const _ = require('lodash')

const fizzbuzz = x => match(x)
.when(a => a % 3 == 0 && a % 5 == 0, 'fizzbuzz')
.when(a => a % 5 == 0, 'buzz')
.when(a => a % 3 == 0, 'fizz')
.otherwise(a => a)

console.log(
_.range(1, 101).map(fizzbuzz).join(' ')
)

But maybe you mean something totally different :-)

EDIT: Ah I think I know what you mean. Your lib takes an array of tuples to define the patterns. Sorry for the confusion.
A context switch costs many IQ points and it takes at least an hour to get them back.
It seems like the fundamental difference in our worldviews is that you give equal significance to humans and animals, and I don't. That's why for me human organ harvesting is not the same as pig organ harvesting, and that's why experimentation on pigs is acceptable for me if it results in fewer human deaths.
It must be cultural, because two hours doesn't seem that long to me, yet nobody I know would drink in the car on such a trip, we'd stop at a gas station / roadside diner.
I live in Chicago, IL and the majority of the jobs I apply to are in that metro area. Occasionally, though, I draw interest from companies in the west coast (including some larger tech companies and VC funded startups). So I feel I have the skills and talent, but then get "slept on".

Maybe. What you're describing would mean prison for anyone involved, though, which makes me skeptical. Not saying it's definitely false (I have no way of knowing), and certainly white-collar crime happens. But that would be a very high-stakes move.

That's my point here -- Latin script doesn't offer that many benefits over Cyrillic script, which makes it pretty questionable, in my mind, whether the upheaval is worth it.
And while I'm considering stupidities, why are the two digraphs apparently part of the alphabet, instead of simply being two characters? Does this imply that they need to be collated specially? Or are they just shown like that for transitional convenience?
You can move away from Russia as a person. You can't move away from Russia as a country. Those countries are just next to one other, their border probably longer than Europe's perimeter. You have to think for hundreds of years when you're talking about breaking relationships between nations. Putin will die in max 30 years, probably earlier. He's extremely unlikely to be the next Russia's President. Russia might turn 180 degrees in 5 years. Many things might happen. That's even if yours words are true, which I don't fully support.

Merkle trees.
Whomever wants to store a timestamp for some message stores the path from that message to the root of the Merkle tree. Only the root of the merkle tree of each day needs to be published.
Funny enough, I didn't, but my brother in law did, so I gave him mine since I never used it. I guess I did lose it by proxy. I'm a chugger and lids tend to restrict the flow too much for me.
An interesting alternative would be to hash "chunks" of the original article so that a future verification could be applied to particular parts of the content. Let's imagine you hashed every 32 bytes, you could then determine which chunks changed at what times, without revealing the plain text content.
Nice try but throughput != capacity.
There is a cost, but larger pieces of data can be broken into chunks and stored on the blockchain. Some types of data are considered breaking the law to possess it, regardless of whether it was intentional or how it was acquired.

Can data broken up like that can be said to be in your possession if it is never recombined? What if you don't know how to recombine it but a prosecutor does? What if it is known to be recombinable but no one knows how to recombine it?

Most blockchain people I talk to are worryingly dismissive of this as a potential issue, including lawyers.
Is that very different from publishing the same data on a torrent?
> It can make up to 500-1000 usd per day but not really much more.

This is entirely meaningless without knowing how much you started with. There's a reason why ROI is often stated as a percentage.

If you have a billion dollars invested, gaining $500-1000 isn't much. If it's $10,000, then that amount is pretty significant.

It's like claiming you drive a fuel efficient car because you can drive 500 miles on one tank without disclosing the size of your tank.
it is problematic. but 1) we 're mostly talking about mice - higher animals are a lot more regulated and 2) the best we can do is to improve experiment registration and reporting in order to avoid all the redundant work and improve progress , saving those animals. The discussion about replicability, study size and chasing p-values is relevant.

I agree with your point, but strictly speaking English is a Germanic language, not a Romance language. However, Norman rule over England brought substantial French influence to English.
Facebook only started deploying its developer API and advertiser changes a couple of weeks ago, which means it already got most of its revenue, if not all of it (depending on how Facebook receives the money and accounts for it) by the time they closed the Q1 quarter.

You also can't expect to see the full impact of Cambridge Analytica scandal so soon. Let's see what happens over the next 12 months. Facebook engagement was already in free-fall last year, and I imagine a lot of people disengaged with Facebook after this scandal, and they plan on using it much less in the future, even if they don't actually delete their accounts. Eventually all of these scandals (as well as the future ones) will catch-up with Facebook.

Isn't that the point though? She wasn't a homophone in the past.
BCP 47 language codes [1] have three major parts: the language, the script, and the region. Canonically, the language is two or three lowercase letters, the region is two capital letters or three numbers, and the script is four letters in title-case.

These values can be filled in from context. "en-US" means the same thing as "en-Latn-US" because it's always written in the Latin alphabet. "ja" (Japanese) means the same thing as "ja-Jpan-JP" (Japanese, as used in Japan, written in the combination of scripts that is unique to Japanese). You could refer to romanized Japanese as "ja-Latn", though this is really rare.

But there are a few language codes where you should specify the script. Particularly Serbian, where the Latin and Cyrillic scripts coexist. In that case, you distinguish them as "sr-Latn" and "sr-Cyrl".

So the language codes for Kazakh will be "kk-Latn" and "kk-Cyrl". Which one "kk" means by default may change at some point.

[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47 - if you find yourself referring to "ISO language codes" in the present day, this is what you actually mean.

That's the problem right there. Speaking only one language is super limiting.
> a religion that resisted the eating of pork and promoted evangalising happens to survive through dark ages because nobody is getting stomach parasites and because it replicates

Totally unrelated, but which religion is that?

Not Judaism since they don't evangelize, and not Christianity because they do eat pork, not Islam because they didn't exist during the dark ages.
