> ...and as one of them incompetent developers in India, I feel the need to defend myself.

In your original sentence, you are trying to use "them" as an adjective to modify "incompetent developers," but "them" should only be used as a 3rd person plural pronoun. Using "them" as an adjective is not proper; your examples sound strange to native speakers, and is usually associated with vernacular English in general. Native speakers may assume this usage is due to poor knowledge of proper English, or possibly a regional (improper, but common) usage in the American South.

... the US armed forces are spending roughly 2b every day (~590b in 2015, proposed ~680b in 2019). That penalty is a drop on a hot stone. That's not a "WIN".
Even if that is the case, I would argue it is already a success story, it doesn't need to be good at everything.
If Google renews defense contracts, I'm going to simply pull the plug, and I suspect many more will follow. Changing your email address is hard, but the bulk of the task will be over in a few hours.

If financial sense is the only reason, then still yes.
Why? Google works for the military, gets a bad rep, usage plummets. It's not unheard of before.

Of course they might renew the contracts secretly (and I'm afraid they might) but secret work is more expensive and hard to keep secret for long at large scales.

Also, looking at the very long term: Making killbots creates instability which creates war which damages the purchase power of their users which creates less profits for the shareholders.

I don't think you can infer that from a map, but my recollection is that I have read exactly that. Older white men were also the ones who, in the aggregate, took the biggest hit to their careers and incomes in the recent recession. The recovery has seen a lot of hiring, but wages are "sluggish." Given that men often literally can't even get laid if their income is too low, I can well see that taking its toll on someone and them deciding to just throw in the towel.
This isn't exactly the best time to be a white male. There is a lot of hatred, both institutional and cultural, directed their way.

Another possible correlation is aging populations. Among males at least, suicide is highest among males over 65. (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide.shtml) The "hypothesis" might be that lack of access to good health care among this group (either due to location -- rural health care is not in the best of shape right now from what I can tell (https://news.aamc.org/patient-care/article/health-disparitie...) -- or economics) might enhance suicide risk.

Access to firearms could be another correlation. Firearms are the leading method of suicide in the United States. The consensus opinion I've heard is that firearms are a lot easier to make an attempted suicide an actual suicide than most other methods.

All of these are hypothesis; I doubt we can come to real good conclusions without better data than these summary pages.
> Humans routinely over-drive their vehicles capability to safely stop for an obstacle in front or adjacent to their path of travel.

Hence, the opportunity for an automated system that does not do that to be much safer, by relying on reaction times rather than strong AI.

Where a human driver would use subtle cues to anticipate a slowdown of the preceding vehicle before a turn, an automated system can get by by simply slamming the brakes in less than one millisecond when it detects braking from the other vehicle.

Just because someone has a contrary opinion to my idea doesn't mean my idea is now unknowable and equal in weight to their contradiction. I don't like this postmodern idea that "everything is subjective, so nothing has real value."

It would be easy to contrive an example of a degenerate game idea which only purpose is to harass specific people and serve racist desires. You are saying that our society is unable to ethically categorize this game differently than any other game? I don't think it's required that we mathematically determine what's "good" in order to set reasonable boundaries.

Just because something is subjective doesn't mean it's impossible to quantify their place in society. Sure, there's a fuzzy line that controversial topics straddle. Keep those all, I say. The games you mentioned are not even close to what I'm talking about. I'm not saying to get rid of controversial stuff, but to set an upper bound.

It just seems like a conflict of interest to have zero guidelines about a thing they will profit over.

As a young one, I had a apple //e copy disk with a wide variety of copy programs (copied of course...)

My favorite could copy 2 disks only 4 disk swaps (If you had a single drive). And "Locksmith" which had profiles for certain originals that would allow copying by knowing the original's secret. It was a back and forth battle between the copy programs and copy protection..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_nibbler#Apple_II_-_Locksmi...

Of course we got a bought copy of electronic arts "seven cities of gold" and it didn't work because of the copy protection. Got a second copy and it too didn't work...

My friend had a card that could at a push of a button dump the entire apple ][+ Ram to a bootable disk (64K!). Great for those single load games.

Opioid use are highest among rural, white women IIRC.

https://wire.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/women-bear-greater...

Assuming "Opioid use" is the indicator of "negative emotions" of some kind, then the statistics at least indicate that we need to be focusing on white, rural women's issues primarily.

With that being said, there's clearly something wrong going on in rural America, at least if Opioid abuse and suicide rates are anything to go by. Just the stats.

----------

I hate to blame a complex issue like suicide on drugs. There's more to any particular case than just drug use. But with so many Opioid deaths in rural white America (especially women), I think this is a statistic that needs to be better known.

Note: It might be cultural (over-prescription by rural doctors), and not necessarily related to politics. But its certainly an issue that needs to be focused on.

Firearms are more popular with men and poison is more popular with women. (edit: source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide#...) The charts in the article show that women who commit suicide are more likely to have a known mental health condition than men, so that could explain the correlation.

Whereas decedents were predominantly male (76.8%) (Table 1) and non-Hispanic white (83.6%), those without known mental health conditions, relative to those with mental health conditions, were more likely to be male (83.6% versus 68.8%; odds ratio [OR] = 2.3, 95% CI = 2.2–2.5) and belong to a racial/ethnic minority (OR range = 1.2–2.0)."

I understand it. It's not like the world is a super happy place and everybody is like 'why would you want to leave this place - it's amazing!'.

Everybody has their own experiences. Their life is unique. Telling other people that they should stick around can even be selfish, depending on what they are going through.

However. Living life is a skill, and I believe can you get quite satisfactory skill levels by making hard choices and changing your life for the better until it becomes pretty fine. You may even feel happy. Takes hard work though, and it's very hard to find that energy when you are depressed and your brain is telling you that your problems are unsolvable. But they are not. That's the good news I guess. :)

Ok, here's my impassionate take on Marxism (I know Marxism != socialism).

The fundamental tenet of socialism is the idea of dialectical materialism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_materialism) which basically states that there are two forces engaged in an endless struggle and future state is a result of synthesis of these two.

There's a close relationship between say Engel's dialectics and something like linear logic. However, Engel's third "The law of the negation of the negation" is fundamentally flawed. You provably can't have both adversarial relationships and still allow double negation.

I know I'm late to the party, but moltin is far from cheap, which is a shame, as it's a very interesting approach.

As far as I'm aware, they still offer a free tier of 30k API operations per month, which apparently approximates 10k page views - which is very kind of them. However, I had to email them to get pricing information, and was informed their pricing _starts_ at $1k/month (I was actually quoted $12k/year) for 250k operations (i.e. ~80k page views). Ouch.

To make matters worse, they use to charge $49/month for 300k operations [1]. I was informed that this was very out of date information, as apparently they've got a new logo and everything since then. But still, I feel bad for anyone who got vendor-locked to them.

All in all, probably not a bad product, but definitely one to avoid for scenarios like OP's.

Their ancestors were forced here, but their ancestors are not the ones "engulfed by white folks" which is what the original comment claimed.

I don't think one's political positions/expressions are really a fundamental and immutable part of what one is in the way described by the comment.

Another statistic is that gun-owners are statistically more likely to successfully commit suicide. Red States have higher proliferation of guns, and often its easier to obtain a gun.

Modern paramedics can rescue people who take a lot of pills, or do other, less successful forms of suicide. But a bullet-to-the-head is often fatal. No coming back from that.

So it could be a case of "successful" suicides vs "unsuccessful". I'd assume that the rate of "attempted suicides" is roughly equivalent across the country. But an uptick in gun-culture could increase the number of "successful suicides", so to speak.
"Facebook changed every post by those users during the affected time period to private, including posts that people may have meant to share publicly. The company told CNN it took five days to make those changes."

The headline and the article seem to be contradictory. Anyone know if the article is wrong or the headline is wrong? It looks like it just might be that paragraph that got it backwards since there is a direct quote later that talks about posts being automatically suggested as public.

This. Trade deals like NAFTA totally destabilized (if not disintegrated) industrialized regions of the US. This may not be the only cause of suicide, but it’s part of the story for sure. The coasts don’t care, they seem to celebrate it. What I think those people are missing is that this disease can continue onward and spread throughout.

I have daily backups of my WP site, so I can move to another one that is more secure, should my current hosting service prove unreliable.

An "in memory" DB is just a DB that can answer queries quickly (e.g. in O(1) time.) You still speak to it over a network protocol (even if it's going over the loopback interface), where everything gets serialized into long binary strings and then deserialized again. You can maybe achieve zero-copy access into the packets the DB is sending you if the DB is communicating using something like Capn Proto, but that's still two copies of the data: one in your app process, and one in the DB process.

A database whose data is in your process (like, say, BDB, or Erlang's ETS, and not like SQLite†) allows you to hold pointers to data (usually either "tuples" or "objects") that are in the DB, from your process, and treat them as if they were just regular data sitting on the stack/heap. Depending on the DB's persistence architecture, this can mean that you can even mutate the data in object form, and that mutation will be automatically persisted—because what you're mutating is, after all, the DB's copy of the data. Unlike e.g. Firebase, there's no secondary synchronization between "your local" copy of an object and "the database's copy" of the object; your process is holding the database's copy of the object.

Or, if you like, you can think of an "in-process-memory" database like a server in a distributed-RPC stack, ala CORBA or Windows COM. You ask the DB for an object, it gives you an RPC handle to the object. Except, since you and the COM server share memory, this handle doesn't need to do any marshalling or IPC or locking; it's an optimized-path "direct" handle.

Another potential path to enlightenment: if you create a "flat-file database" by just mmap(2)ing a file—and then you write structs into that file-backed memory, and keep pointers to those structs—then you've got an "in-process-memory database."

† SQLite the library resides in your process's memory, and it can even allocate tables that reside only in-memory (which is also "your process's memory") but SQLite still communicates with your process through the SQL protocol, as if it was on the other side of a socket to your process, with no way to "get at" SQLite's internal representation of its data.
