The laws of physics seem to point towards some form of multiverse. Do some research on schrodinger's cat and quantum superpositions to understand that. As far as "creation" is concerned, you are making unwarranted assumptions about the nature of time when you talk about the universe itself having been "created". These are very difficult questions and no simple answer will be the right one.
> Deer populations are not limited by resources, rather by the number of predators.

Harsh winters (extreme cold and/or sustained icy conditions) can definitely limit deer populations as well, both directly (starvation) and indirectly (weakened deer become ill or easier targets for predators).

I don't like how you posit that expertise is some absolute thing.

To some coworkers I'm a programming expert. To a 30-year veteran sysadmin I'm a novice.

The same goes for any skill or knowledge - musicianship, cooking etc. Only one person in the world is the best at something, and it's not reasonable to compare yourself to that person when there's billions of us.
53 million is also not necessarily a population 100% seeking healthcare either, so if more people are getting access healthcare, more tumors will be found.

Those questions are irrelevant to multiverse hypothesis because they apply to any theory. That is, if there is no multiverse, you can still ask "Who/what created the universe? Do matter and energy simply exist without creation?", etc.

Do matter and energy simply exist without creation?

It depends on your definition of "creator" but indeed it is almost a logical necessity for something to exist without a creator. Since if you assume a creator is necessary, you'd still need someone to create the creator, and so on going infinitely. And then there's the question of creation of this infinite chain itself, etc -- the recursion never ends. It seems much more simple to assume some system must simply exist without necessity of creation.
Conscious thought requires a delicate interplay of neurons and chemicals, that if disturbed by visiting a permutation of the multiverse, would cease to function.

Humans can not directly observe an alternative permutation, but even if they could, how would they be able to find their way back to their original permutation if there's an infinite number of permutations?
Underemployment reports in the US include those people. They usually also include people working part-time "for economical reasons". But that's considered underemployment, not unemployment.
In Perl 5 threading things are only "shared" semantically. In reality, there is an extra interpreter running where the "shared" variables live, and any value fetches and stores are handled with the `tie` interface (see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=288022 for more information).

In Perl 6 on the other hand, everything is always shared and you can use high level constructs such as atomic increments, supplies, taps, `react` and `whenever` so you don't have to think about any (dead)locking issues as a developer.

They scaled by making a huge investment in their network. They didn't make a fundamental new technical discovery that didn't exist before.

I play in a pickup soccer game on Saturdays.

First time I went was a couple weeks ago. I noticed that they didn’t play with any out of bounds - whoever kicked it out, got to keep going with the ball. Made no sense.

I asked the organizer of the group about it. His reply? “We’ve been doing it like this for 10 years. That’s just how it is.”

I asked him if he personally enjoyed playing like that (him being the organizer for literally the last decade...)

He slowly turned and looked at me with a blank stare, as if he had never thought of it like that before. “No I don’t,” he said.

He still refused to do anything about it.
Sweet!!

>we've accepted more than $10 million in bitcoin for our products and the irreversibly means we don't need any markup for our customers to account for fraud.

I hope you realize the other side of the coin, from the consumer side, is not so great, right? What if you don't deliver the products? Maybe you're a super reputable vendor and people trust you but if you're a little guy selling stuff on ebay good luck convincing me to send you ETH. So much for the distributed currency empowering the little folks to fight against the giants.

There's a reason chargeback exists and that the balance is tipped towards the consumer instead of the vendor in general. It means that the consumer is more likely to consume. That's why even though stone-and-mortar shops could only accept cash and cheques they still use credit card that costs them more, because it's more convenient and makes it more likely for the user to consume. Reduced friction, consumer-guarantees and convenience more than justifies the Visa tax and constraints in many businesses.

In particular it's not something inherent to "fiat", Visa could unilaterally decide to never issue chargebacks for instance. They could also decide to charge the card holder for the transaction cost instead of the vendor. Do you really think that they don't do that because they never thought about it or maybe because there's a more practical reason for not doing things that way?
I agree that web pages shouldn't have executable code. I think that's a separate issue from whether or not, given that web pages already have it, javascript is a reasonable choice. It's also a separate issue from whether or not live-editing ASTs for rich text is an appropriate GUI layer for javascript.

Basically, to the extent that web tech is acceptable at all, it has no interactivity. HTML and CSS aren't particularly good even as representations of static rich text, but they are far, far worse as graphics toolkits.
Corporate Trust Building Exercises for Facebook and Its Users
well that's what I'm asking about....everyone has a different "wouldn't you just use [something]"
Bear in mind that if they didn't pay you, and there was no signed contract, they do not own your code. You may not be willing to hire a lawyer, but you could have some fun harassing them anyhow.

That said, do be sure it's your code... pretty much by definition, if you accomplished it during an interview, they could accomplish it in the same or less time themselves freshly and legally... for all you know, they'd already written it, just hadn't deployed it yet, and were using it as an interview question precisely because they had just written it themselves and it was fresh on their minds. Given the prevalence of NIH syndrome, this would even strike me as the most likely explanation unless you have some sort of really solid proof it's your code... generally, even when a programmer should take somebody else's two or three hour work they'd rather do it themselves!
> This works except in a small minority of cases: some individual contributors enjoy their meetings.

Also in a small minority of cases breaking up a developer flow to provide on the ground context in a meeting is better for the organisation than keeping the developer in-flow for another hour.

Rarely, I'll concede, but it's worth remembering that few developers are paid to "code", but to create value for the organisation. The vast majority of the time that's done by coding, but sometimes (in those rare moments) that value is derived from a meeting.

Not allowing accumulations to grow is fine, except when they are needed.

If they exist, need to also implement strong security compartmentalization, logging, oversight, etc. to prevent.

And, the stick needs to be bigger too, not only firing from one job, but blacklisting from others, and prosecution. You do that, you're not only done, you're out of a career, and will be lucky to not find yourself in jail. (I'm no usually that punitive, but that level of casual abuse...)

Wafer stacking is coming to GPU design
My company has a designated no-meeting-day for engineers and it's been good for the reasons in the article - I'd love to see it expand. It's also nice to have a designated day that everyone gets errands done. Need an oil change and they're only open during business hours? Great - everyone gets it done at the same time when they're not trying to contact each other - no need to coordinate.

The other thing has been as a last-resort day for meetings that really need to happen soon, but half the people you need to get in the room are just in meetings all the time except that one special day, so you make a special one-time exception when you really need to. I suspect that this is just a band-aid though - those people can't be as productive as they think they are if they can't control their schedule more.

Naive question: If the startup time matters because you're imposing that startup time hundreds or thousands of times - why not remove the startup time?

I'm saying, use the emacs model. Start hg with a flag so it simply keeps running in the background while listening on a port. Run a bare-bones nc script to pipe commands to hg over a port and have it execute your commands.

This isn't a new problem, nor is it even a new solution. No complete re-write of the interpreter or the tool required.

Anyways, that's my 2¢

They used an IP that was originally reserved for what reserved IP's are used for. Now that Cloudflare convinced 1.1.1.1 to be released, I'm sure AT&T wants service continuity and had to make this decision, which is well within their rights as an ISP. I dislike AT&T so if this was entirely opinion-based, I would be against them here. But this is a knee-jerk reaction to a well justified decision.
> That seems to make the argument stronger: TSB customers will get full compensation and there will be legal penalties for the incompetent management.

Customers will get "full compensation" of what was in their accounts, eventually but their consequential losses for not having money in the meantime are unlikely to be covered.

> That seems a lot better than “everything is irreversibly gone” failure mode of Bitcoin which hopes that the victims will successfully track down and sue the culprits, as seen in the many failures so far.

I don't really disagree, but bitcoin does give you more control over your own destiny. If you're smart and hardworking enough to store your own bitcoin securely, you can do so, and no-one can take it away from you.

> It also sounds completely unlike the naive framing above alleging that bank employees are able to take your money

That was those customers' experience - someone at the bank pressed a button, and now they can't exchange their money for goods and services. Eventually the wheels of law will grind away the bank and return those people's money, but that doesn't necessarily help them right now.
It's probably very hard to tell, specially since cellphones will dynamically adapt their transmission power depending on the conditions - anything from 0.7mW to 4.4mW[1]. By contrast, a bluetooth device of class 2 (most headsets) is limited to 2.5mW[2], but who knows how much they actually use within that limit.

My father sought to answer the same questions after he started to fear what transmitters might be doing to him/us. As far as I understand his findings, the "strength" of the signal could potentially be as high with blutooth as with 3G/4G, for use with his devices in his environment. His recommendation is therefore to avoid all transmitters close to your body, and prefer wires at all times.

All anecdotal ofc, and I have not in any way verified the instruments he used for his tests.
Careful not to fall into the mental trap of comparing with an imaginary situation. No one has ever achieved 100% employment without involving gunpoint; you have to decide between the real world alternatives. Namely: is it better to have more people on social assistance, or more people on very low wage? (Of course, here in Germany it's mixed - you get lots of social assistance based on your income level. Plus, "better" is a tricky word to pin down...)
"Questions for Confluence" surely benefits from its synergy with other Atlassian products, but it's not clear to what extent. Auto-linking of Jira tickets numbers?

Unfortunately for folks like me down in the trenches, the manager types typically have more sway when it comes to picking products like this. Expanding the Atlassian license to include one more product probably sounds much easier to them.

However, the $1.65 per user difference in price is likely not going to be a deal breaker for these decision makers if it can be shown that StackOverflow, the clear dominant player in Q&A, has a superior product.

Look at the pictures. They look about as similar as a Ford does to a Dodge. The grill, headlamps, body panels, windshield, hell, even the length of the truck is completely different between the two trucks.

A truck is a truck, you can't patent the form factor of a truck.
People moving away from the countryside to cities could be a big factor. That leaves rural areas with a lot of older folks (that don't count as unemployed) while jobseekers are in bigger cities. Why should you be unemployed in rural Brandenburg when you could as well move to Berlin where there's a higher chance for a job? That could also explain why the rate in Northeastern Germany has decreased that much, both areas are mostly rural.
I'd be inclined to include "targets competitors with blatantly invalid patents" under the definition of "patent troll", personally.
I use entirely separate browsers for that. Gmail logged into my primary account gets its own dedicated browser. Nothing else ever gets opened in that browser and it's never used for "regular" browsing.
