You could probably trick that system by dragging something heavy, deviating from your regular gait. Now where to get something heavy to carry around at an airport, I have no idea.
This is a common grammatical mistake that I see made by folks from certain countries. Usually, it's using an incorrectly before a word that starts with the letter u but where the u has a consonant /y/ sound.

When people say this, do they mean that it's compiled to assembly? So what's native about it is the instruction set, yes?
The only one I found funny at school was Twelfth Night, and the rest were extremely arduous. I went to college in Stratford Upon Avon and I found his writing so much more interesting once I actually got to spend more time learning about the context and the period.
I've always been curious to find out if there is a study of California's location relative to it's GDP.

How much of the GDP is based on coastline, major ports, access to imports from China/Southeast Asia that get distributed to the rest of the US, US based companies located there with manufacturing based in China and even Mexico.

Geographically, it seems like it's in an ideal location to hold business HQ's with access to less expensive labor for imported goods.

Is there a study like this out there?

You compare that to the UK that doesn't have any clearly accessible inexpensive labor force option and it makes you wonder.
> I'm not even talking about immigration from outside the US...

Migration, or internal migration is probably a better term here.

It isn't just the migration either - it is the nature of what happens. The top cities/areas for several industries are here, and many secondary ones as well. Film production, software/web, lots of aerospace. It also helps that a fair bit basic needs are provided back to the state by itself (Central Valley farming).
So is "mobile". It used to be awkward and embarrassing when someone said things like "focusing on mobile" but then we got used to it I guess. The same might happen here (though "driverless" will probably be more common than "autonomous".)
Some parts of vermont are very nice and the people are progressive. They have a drug problem in major cities but what else is new.

Maybe it's a sign of age, but my daily driver is an Apple Extended keyboard from the G4 era (around 2002), and the angle, layout and throw is unparalleled with anything newer from Apple. This is the black-on-clear variant, with full-height top row and clear plastic margin surrounding the keys. Their current offerings in the desktop keyboard field are particularly uninspiring.

They made a LOT of the G4-style keyboards, so finding them new in box or minimally used is not all that difficult, and if I was to start a new project with unlimited budget, I'd go with a new-in-box one.

When recently forced to use a run-of-the-mill Microsoft keyboard, the only major adjustment during coding was the backwards Cmd and Option keys (Windows and Alt).
Here's a meta question about all such "predicting stock market performance using X"-type publications: if you have a method that does better than average, why are you publishing it, and not, say, investing all your money and making a killing?
Then it's the fault of the people who made the autonomous weapons, which is kind of what the issue is at Alphabet right now.
I’m sorry but I disagree. Driverless cars are a pipe dream at this point. A lot of people are going to die and legislation will catch up eventually. The tech isn’t even standardized with everyone taking different approaches. The article about TI millimeter wave radar that’s was on the front page shed some light.

I’m sure this won’t be popular on HN. The Uber crash gave some insight on the real state of things. Tesla is in full PR mode even getting banned from the recent crash’s investigation.
Yeah the thing I see that sometimes confuses people is that they think "else" works kinda like "finally" or "__exit__" in a context manager, where it's guaranteed to be called even if an exception is raised. I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking about it like you say, just need to be aware of a few edge cases.

Else in a for loop is kinda obscure anyway, so its importance is marginal. It is really handy for a couple specific patterns, but I've only ever found myself using it a handful of times (and I write a lot of Python).
The risk is turning away young minds.
> If the compiler has to worry about integer overflow, this optimization is not valid.

I'm sure it's still possible to come up with an optimization that takes into account signed-ness, and doesn't give in to performance or code-size much.
> There are many places one can be tolerant without having to contribute to the US government.

But if you don't contribute, you could weaken the US government to the point where it can't resist an unambiguously intolerant foe. There are governments out there that are technologically sophisticated and much worse on human rights than the US.
KeyMe Releases Two Machine Learning Models
It's much better for threaded discussion.

If I post an interesting article in our team slack room, if people aren't actively discussing it, it gets lost very quickly. The threading in slack never seems to attract people's attention (but that may be just people on my team ignoring it.)

With reddit, you can have discussions and sub discussions, and sub discussions if you really want to.

I actually left that company a couple months after they set up the reddit server so I'm not sure how it ended up being used or if it even was. When I was there we mostly used it for discussing interesting articles or projects that people came across. (Much like you'd use reddit for in general.)
As the case is, they've always wanted to use Google's cars. They only started investing in their own program because they felt like Google had shut them out.

And, the fix is easy: just use types of the same width for the counter and the boundary. Using a narrower counter is just begging for errors to happen. This is not a good coding style, and there is no point in having the compiler condoning it.

Compiling it and making it run? Sure. Bending over backwards to ensure it runs fast? Hell no.
As De Boer puts it, if there's any possibility at all that an education result came from sample bias, it's definitely sample bias.

The standard narrative for "better schools" is that a trial program works great, everyone gets excited, and then it declines to mean the instant it's expanded. If they had lotteried people in entirely at random and still gotten better outcomes, I'd at least be curious.

These are UCSPI tools. To encrypt their traffic over the network, one simply runs them via a UCSPI-SSL toolset instead of running them via a UCSPI-TCP toolset.

As we are talking about living and working in Vermont on a technology focused news aggregation site, I would call that a success.

Part of the reasoning given in the article is to shore up the "rapidly sinking tax base" of the state and it reminds me that we don't have a good example of governments that both grow and shrink based on the economic activity of the state. That is something that could really help areas remain stable for longer periods of time I expect.
Yes, I was surprised by this:

> Vermont has budgeted grants for about 100 new remote workers in the first three years of the program and about 20 additional workers per year for every year after.

Vermont lost 10,000 working-age residents over the past five years.[1] This plan will (in theory) recover just ~1% of that.

Maybe they're monitoring reactions to this announcement before they put more money into the program? Otherwise I don't see how this is supposed to make any difference to their problem.

Okay now I've figured out my objection. I strongly doubt that the slow liberal ratchet is going to suddenly force companies to become accountable for their actions in the same way Google has made itself. Google employees were more than capable of ignoring certain aspects of Google's business in order to work at Google.

My argument is that Google's professed ethos of "Don't be evil" has directly led to this sequence of events. You can be LGBTQBBQ-friendly and pay lip service to the whole host of liberal society acceptance tropes and still be evil, so long as you don't actually claim that you'll never be evil. Once you claim that, and make it a core part of the company mythos, then you're opening yourself up to exactly this sort of thing.

I love the accountability that's being forced onto Google right now, but I feel it's a rare bird at best.
ORD had 79,828,183 passengers in 2017. Even if you cut the error rate in half you're still looking at an error once a minute every hour of every day.
I sell a poorly marketed (but well-loved) "Project-Based Linux" course on Udemy. Most of my business there comes from my YouTube channel. Since launching the course two years ago, the average price students have paid has hovered around just over $9.00.

I think of Udemy as the Packt of online course platforms. There are certainly some gems to be found, if you have the time to look for them and don't mind getting a few duds in the process.
For many, this won't even begin to offset the increase in income and property taxes from this notoriously high-tax state. Individual or business, you're likely to pay more.

http://money.cnn.com/gallery/smallbusiness/2012/10/15/state-...

>>The income tax has a top rate of 8.95%. This ranks as the sixth-highest in the U.S., although it only applies to taxpayers making over $413,350 per year. Meanwhile, total state and local sales taxes range from 6% to 7%.

>>There are five income brackets. The highest marginal rate is 8.95% on any income over $388,350. That's on top of federal income taxes.

>>Businesses pay an effective property tax rate of 5.27%, the third highest in the country.

>>At 6%, sales taxes are also on the high side. Meanwhile, those businesses that pay corporate taxes get hit with an 8.5% rate for any profit made above $25,000.

And, ironically, if the US military is ineffective at killing people, more people might be killed or other catastrophic human rights compromises might need to be made. Focusing too much on "the military kills people" is missing the forest for the trees.
This is great. I was really excited until I realized that you have to be a US citizen. I'd be happy to skip the $10,000 if I could get a work permit or a green card.

May I grab this no particular occasion and ask English speakers: is this natural to you? A near miss? I mean, a near miss is something I would expect from sports where a shooter nearly misses the target but manages to hit it but barely. How is an avoided collision a near miss...? Close call, close to a collision, but a near miss?
And how do you plan on making that exception?

In the case under discussion, Cloudflare established the president that they could terminate service to customers based on what they say. We have already decided as a society that we do not want the government to have that sort of power. Why are we now insisting that private companies must have and use that power?

Freedom is not defended by defending people that we like. It is defended at the periphery; by defending people that most of us do not like.
Brilliant project!
In addition, I think it's absurd for your first exposure to any of the plays to be reading it; so much of the dialog only makes sense when being spoken. The homework assignments should never be "read Act I", it should be "watch the first 45 minutes of movie version <blah>". Even a disengaged viewer will get more out of watching it than having their first experience be reading it.

I would also recommend that if you want to find a way into enjoying Shakespeare again after it was most likely ruined for you in school, to watch the comedy Upstart Crow, made by the BBC. It's a good-humoured jab at Shakespeare's writing and actually helped get me interested in it again.

The article lists Russia as the US's "nemesis". "Competitor" or even "enemy" would have been an appropriate designation, but "nemesis" means retribution, justice, or vengeance. Exactly whom is seeking retribution against whom, and for what?

Since the birth of the nation, Russia supported the US. It supported its revolution and supported the Union during the civil war. It even sold Alaska to the US. We brokered the end of the Russo-Japanese war, and about 3.3 million Russian Jews and Poles immigrated to the US by 1917. We then started down the path of trying to support the anti-communists, which of course backfired. We allied with the Soviets during WWII, but then we quickly started the cold war and formed NATO.

Since then, the Soviet Union basically wanted to control eastern (and possibly, eventually, all?) Europe, but it didn't work out, and the nations they had absorbed along the way eventually became independent again. So now their sphere of influence is smaller, but they still have a lot of nukes, and neither of us trust each other.

I would call us "frenemies", perhaps (a bit like China). But we really don't have some big grudge against each other. We're just two dicks who want to rule the world.
I could not agree more. Softbank and the investment community may just be in greater fool mode. Or, to be more generous, perhaps they are taking a long term approach. But anything close to Level 4/5 is a _long_ way away, as even senior technical folks have been admitting recently.
Ah, yes this was it!

By your reductionist logic, we shouldn't jail pedophiles who have abused children. Those pedophiles, like the Nazi radicalizers are harming other people through their actions.
In my experience, OSX is not modular and configurable out-of-the-box. You need to install plugins.

Ubuntu is the red-headed stepchild of Linux which wants to be Windows. I use it at work. I hate it. I'd rather use Fedora.
Integer overflow is certainly not undefined for this reason.

It's undefined because in the majority of situations, it is the result of a bug, and the actual value (such as a wrapped value) is unexpected and causes a problem.

For instance, oh, the Y2038 problem with 32 bit time_t.
I think what the author is trying to say is that expressiveness and "managing hard problems" are a level of abstraction above syntax and paradigms. I concede that it's a bit hyperbolic to say it's "not about" the latter, but I'd argue that they're less important than their intent, i.e. what the syntax is designed to express. For example, Golang's channel syntax would be a lot less useful if it were just a weird synchronous assignment operator, instead of an abstraction over a concurrent operation.
That sounds like an issue caused by an indecent debugger to me. I havent had to debug JS, but indeed the browser debuggers can use some sophistication and customisability, IMHO.

It is not, just take a look at the third party directory of chromium, where it tracks all its third party dependencies

https://github.com/chromium/chromium/tree/master/third_party

the main point of their build system gn (similar to bazel) is to have explicit and distribution independent control of all dependencies (typically tied to specific versions).

LLVM basically has no system dependencies as well, instead it implements a lot of platform abstractions within the repository (https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/tree/master/lib/Support), the remaining dependencies are mostly build dependencies such as python 2.7 and cmake.

Same story for Cryengine (https://github.com/CRYTEK/CRYENGINE/tree/release/Code/Libs) and Unreal Engine (https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/release/Engin...).

Linux distributions simply duplicate a lot of work because they are based on a flawed and outdated distribution model, outdated because the main argument for shared libraries disappears with > 1 TB commodity hard drives. The approach taken by the projects above is also the only way to do cross platform development, simply because both Windows, macOS and Consoles don't have the concept of an operating system package manager. (If you are using homebrew for development on mac, you will run into a lot of trouble sooner or later).
It also has by far the most daily pageviews per visitor, about 3x more then the top others (9.7 vs 2-3). Only xvideos.com the 2nd most popular adult site tops that, but close (10.56).

Complexity doesn't go away, but it shifts and becomes a lot more manageable with the right tools. Clustering is inherently complex, k8s allows you to centralise, structure and manage it in a way that brings it to the masses, where before it was limited to large companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, ... spending considerable amounts of engineering resources in large scale deployments.

7 Simple Ways to Stop Living an Overwhelmed Life
I love the fact that I can consume reddit via RSS feed.
As a Swede living in the United States, I can agree that the average person has a higher quality of life in Scandinavia! I don't think it's possible to have that in the States, though; the country doesn't seem meant for it.

The Scandinavian model relies on many incompatible tenets that could be mentioned, including but not limited to immigration. The Swedish system is already practically collapsing from its first major influx of immigrants ever.

If we want a country in which everyone is welcome, it can't be a country in which we offer a fantastic quality of life automatically through living there. I mean, not until we have some post-scarcity economy, at least.

Another issue is that maybe part of the States' success is related to having more income to yourself, to spend at your discretion after taxes, rather than it being spent for you by the government. It inspires a lot of immigration from people with big ideas, and that could easily change if the U.S. surpasses other countries in taxes.

I think there are models the U.S. should adopt from Scandinavia, however they're smaller in scope and address efficiency with tax money. One example is that all your income tax goes to the local government up until a certain point (~65,000 USD?), and it's redistributed at that level, rather than being siphoned through so many levels of bureaucracy like in the States. It's funny, while being the polar opposite of the U.S. and its conservative values, Sweden still manages a smaller federal government!
I think your link, and your mentor, are somewhat fundamentalist about their Bayesianism.
Most projects use buzzwords like that though.

You know, marketing stuff that tells you absolutely nothing about the software itself but is required to fill space on a website.

The thing is, a boring "Benchmarks" heading in the README doesn't get you as many GitHub stars as a "Blazingly fast!" heading+icon. And you know how addictive Internet Points can be.
Detroit is a mess, but the gap between it and Ukraine is not remotely comparable to that between Iraq and Oklahoma.

And obviously single examples are not representative of the whole, but they're far more useful than GP's blanket assertion which is based on nothing other than, I suspect, the fact that it's currently edgy/fashionable to whinge about all the "free" things Europeans get that Americans don't.
