The combination of tax repatriation, tax cuts, and large-scale deficit spending (fiscal expansion) late in the economic cycle (recessions typically happen every 8 years or so, and the current expansion has been going on for ~10 yrs now) while the Federal reserve is raising interest rates (monetary 'contraction') is more or less unprecedented (we've never seen it happen in modern times in the US or any other large developed economy).

The risk is that fiscal policy is pouring more fuel on the fire at the precise time when the economy typically starts slowing, further inflating asset bubbles and making the Fed's job (to avoid inflation and keep employment high) much potentially harder and making it more likely a misstep will happen.

Popping bubbles or slowing their formation is inherently a tricky proposition (just look at the run-up in stocks from early 2017 until now); move too aggressively and you risk sparking a liquidity crisis and plunging your economy directly into recession; move too slowly and you end up with an even larger bubble later on to deal with.

This is tricky in normal times, but doing so while the other wing of government is actively stimulating the economy makes it much harder to gauge the impact of monetary policy and withdraw Fed support in a prudent and measured way.
I see plenty of possible excuses, starting with the easiest one to come up with being not wanting any intermediaries so the TLS connection is truly end-to-end.
Really? Most of the time on flights the windows are shuttered anyways, most people open them during landing to watch it go down. I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest by lack of windows
I wish I knew where to seek the treatment you found. I suffer from anxiety, depression, and trauma and it limits my potential every day. I have counselling but I find it extremely difficult to connect with the source of all of it and flush it out. I know it's in there, hiding. The ego death you speak of is what I invite every day but the negativity and shame that my ego has insulated itself with is extremely resilient.
If you can see the wing, it's pretty close.

That said with some fairly simple optics you could give the "look" of parallax. There are a number of "3D like" lens solutions that go over high resolution screens to create different views at different angles, if they really wanted to go that way.

I'd say just make it look like you're going down a subway... passing trains and all!
This is consistent with what I’ve heard. Seems no one expects a recession until at least 2020 or 2021. Be ready.
Coding is a calling.

No, a job as a Christian pastor (being the first to come to mind) is a "calling". Shitty pay, every single person in a pew is your "boss", little-to-no retirement plan and 24/7 pager duty with no pager bonus. But, hey, you're not in it for the money. A job with flexible hours, employer matching, and a six figure salary is a "damned cushy job", not a calling. It might be for some, but it is not a given.

That said, the same thing went on in the 80s: "hey, programming pays pretty well, and there's not enough programmers! Get in now!" What we ended up with were quite a few folks that weren't particularly well-suited for the role who continued to do it because, well, you gonna walk away from that paycheck? Those I knew didn't particularly like their job. Those are the ones who only know COBOL after twenty years. I imagine it's only gotten worse as word gets around about what top engineers at Google are making (which none of the rest of us ever stand a chance of making).
Perhaps another good example closer to what google is doing is Cisco providing to China the means to build their great firewall. They got some criticism of it for a bit of time but China's censorship regime has since become the "new normal" and has clawed its way into western media via heavy investment into Hollywood studios by the country.
Chatbots solve the same problem as a search interface, but in a way that is lower bandwidth, less intuitive, and mildly personally insulting (the attitude from the company using the chatbot seems to be 'our users totally will not mind wasting time trying to interact with a really shitty set of canned responses'). The bigger question for me is 'why did anyone think this was a good idea?'
Yep, I think the A380 helped both Airbus's and Europe's brand.

And that's why the government assistance in the form of launch aide might have been worth it.
>>New hashing algorithm

>>Hash values vary from run to run (so don’t depend on hash values or order)

I must be reading this wrong. One of the requirements for a good hash function is determinism - specifically that any given value in the input space maps to exactly one value in the output space.
I don't think I'm up to date with the Web enough to understand the selling point of this article. Is it not that most use cases of static sites are not at all concerned with latency or bandwidth, but rather simplicity and presentation? My perspective is limited in scope, mostly to personal projects, so some additional insight will be much appreciated.
Design take-home tests are no good
Not only that, but the CPU that Intel used was most likely an Xeon 8176, which retails for $8000 US. I'm thinking that the Threadripper with 32 cores will cost less than $2000 US.
Even in the 21st century, you can choose not to care regardless of what other people might think.
> That’s one of the reasons you’re required to open them when you take off and land.

I've heard this was more for the reason of passengers safety being able to see whats going on outside - i.e. engine smoke, pieces of wing coming off, etc to let the crew know and in an emergency landing being able to tell what is outside (fire, water, militant guerrillas)
To me this sounds like utter nonsense. I never actually met a woman who had a problem with baldness. Only men. It's like a certain other subject that only men worry about and maybe 1% of women.

5 Questions to Ask Your First Prospective Tech Employer
One of the best insights we had at Ozlo was putting prompt bubbles on our UI. They served two main purposes. First they showed what type of questions you could ask; and second, they showed how to ask a question.

They provided guard rails so to speak. If you don’t really strong hints about what you can do — and at least recognize intents you can’t handle — you’re screwed. There is always some asshole who sees “Hi, I can tell you about restaurants and entertainment. What are you looking to do?”, and answers “What’s the atomic weight of boron in nanofirkins?”
> But in reality most companies stay stuck at exactly that point in time where they were most successful

This doesn't really make sense. How did they get to be that successful? They must have changed something from an earlier point, when their most successful point was less successful.

Your claim is like saying "A companies stock is always worth less than its historical maximum". It's only true until there's a new maximum.
For domain sockets specifically, there is this Swift library which does various heavy lifting with the C APIs: https://github.com/IBM-Swift/BlueSocket
I could use this! While converting someone's Win32 C program to C++, it struck me that most of the magic numbers, window class names, arrays of GUI control data etc. which are defined in code (in both windows.h and the user source code) could be defined in a read-only sqlite database instead. And with this link here, it wouldn't even have to be a separate file.
Patrick Steward is one of the very few men who looks really, really good with a bald head (which he had from an early age, he was in his early 30s in 1984's "Dune" IIRC). Most men just don't look very good that way.
> 1. Uber, Lyft and co. would never have grown globally at such an astronomical rate (and eaten the taxi branch its lunch)

That’s a dangerous assertion when Uber spent a sizable chunk of its investment money on promotions to make rides available at less than cost. Selling services below cost and competitors price is a way to gain market share that does not prove that your business model is in any way superior.

Larry Ellison actually did a demo of an HR support chat bot at OpenWorld 2016 a few years ago.

Press windows key, type "space". First item is "Storage". Press enter or click it, you see a prominent progress bar like thing and text: "300GB used, 164GB free".

By and large, voice user interfaces still fail to abide by Grice's Maxims[1]. In your example, that's the maxim of manner:

> when one tries to be as clear, as brief, and as orderly as one can in what one says, and where one avoids obscurity and ambiguity

In a sense, this is not unlike an unskilled and nervous attendant who, faced with a request that they don't understand, starts to chatter more and more in hopes of eliciting the information they really need.

I'll take the high density housing as long as, within that housing, we can segregate the vacationers, who often enjoy staying up late drinking and talking loudly, from the folks who have to get up and go to work or school the next morning.

Otherwise, an increase in density might reduce airbnb's impact on rents, but at the cost of making airbnb even more annoying.

Presumably by the 24th century they've also cured sunburns and skin cancer too.

Meanwhile, in the present day, the top of your head is the part of your body most exposed to the Sun, and hair is useful in preventing sunburns. So being bald isn't equal to having hair.
Studies have shown that a shaved head makes men appear more dominant. While that may be cultural, it’s interesting since testosterone/ dht are the instigator in hair loss.
What I loved about the A380 was the cheap last minute business class seats on LA/Tokyo because they couldn’t fill it up otherwise, the whole upper deck was business. Good for me bad for the airline.
> Black-white education gap is trivially explained by black-white IQ gap. [...] The most probable reason is genetics.

Even if that were true for one gender (and it's not), it wouldn't be true for the other unless there is also a recent and accelerating, genetically-determined, IQ gap between black men and black women.
There are resources for that...

> Not everyone cares about cross-platform, some developers rather specialize in a given platform.

Yeah. This is exactly what people thought in the early 2000s of IE6. It was the de facto 'standard' web browser. Whole enterprises were built on the assumption that no other browser matters.

But the world around changed. IE6 became obsolete. Then insecure. People kept running it to use the old apps that would not work on modern browsers. But eventually, IE6 had to be buried.

Thousands of apps containing billions of lines of code had to be re-written at an astronomical cost. Just because, for a short while, we once thought specializing on one platform was a sustainable long-term strategy.
Similar in San Francisco. You can rent a single room (while you're in the house) for longer, but you can rent the entire apartment only for up to 90 days/year.

Most cases of depression do care how awesome your life is. Depression rates aren't spiking because people's brains have suddenly stopped working properly, it's because society has gotten progressively more dehumanizing.

It is also a mistake to think that being a celebrity is necessarily awesome. The loss of privacy and the barrier celebrity presents to having genuine interactions can literally be a killer.
I don't know anything about the frequency, but if you refinance you can start the 30 year process over. So if you refi after 20 years and go for the 30 year loan you'd be at 50.
Oscoin: our plan to decentralize OSS collaboration
Yes. I’m not a neurologist and my views shouldn’t be taken as medical. But many issues are classified by the nature of their remediation. Also, it’s my understanding that treating depression with just medicine and no counseling is frowned upon.
CDNs make a lot of sense for improving load times and for the overall efficiency of network utilization, but I worry that the current ones (Cloudflare et al.) contribute too much to the recentralization of the Internet.

What we need is for gateway.ipfs.io to use geo-dns such that it can serve this purpose, and IPFS gateways can be run all over the world by regional ISPs, universities, and even individuals.
> "1. If you're using a data driven background, you're background model isn't the Standard Model but that there isn't something special about your signal region."

Sure, it means you assume that during the signal detection everything was working exactly as it was during background data collection. There are going to be other implementation specific assumptions like what thresholds to use regarding environment noise triggers, accounting for sensor drift, etc. These data-driven models are approximations, I doubt the people actually coming up with them really believe they are 100% true. If you give a real life example I will point out exactly where there are issues.

> "If you are using the SM as your background, then yes you do believe it to be 100% true"

I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Of course you are assuming your background is 100% true. Do particle physicists actually believe this though? Not from my reading:

"So although the Standard Model accurately describes the phenomena within its domain, it is still incomplete."

StackOverflow's developer survey[0] would suggest that the original comment was incorrect. But I think it's an incomplete story for the reasons I and other respondents mentioned.

This is a really interesting idea.
You think old people don't just hit zero, pound, or say 'agent', to go to a person, to do the things the phone tree can do?

If they don't, is that because they don't know any better, or because they actually want to use the IVR?

My guess is either they go straight to a person, or they don't know that's an option. So if I'm correct (and I think the onus would be to prove that old people think differently than everyone else in this regard), these things exist to take advantage of the ignorance of old people to save a company some money. Greaaaat.
When people like us started doing it, there was zero economic incentive, at least for me.

Folks have been making an upper-middle class living writing code since at least the late 70s (when my Mom started). There has always been an economic incentive. Now maybe no one was paying your sixteen year old self to write shitty JS code for that game idea you had, but if one had a BS in CS there were plenty of companies willing to pay you generously for your time.
Hey Pranav,

I started learning web dev about a year back. I was right where you are and I will try to shed some light on what I finally landed on.

___

Frontend- ReactJS

Backend - Google Firebase

___

React is amazingly simple to learn. You just need to know some HTML, CSS and JS as a base. Google Firebase is probably one of the greatest things ever made. As a beginner, it helped me do things in days that would have taken me weeks.

This stack took me months to find and I'm so glad I did. I can even code and deploy static sites in minutes.

Boeing did go out of their way to make sure those "change incorporation" frames ended up in working condition and flying with customers. This spreadsheet shows what happened: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FH3Y2-vRUgojntPkCSJI... - look at the dates in the "Load"/"Delivered" columns up to LN 19. LN 10 spent almost 8 years before entering revenue service.

In Airbus's case, the equivalent might be to buy back the frames and place them with customers at a subsidy. There's definitely a marketing hit that they take when a 10 year old flagship airframe is scrapped.
Hah, I've been using Unix-based OSes in a professional capacity for over 15 years and I've never heard of apropos. :)
>leaking classified information is bad regardless of your ultimate aim

Perhaps, if you implicitly trust the government
Which is sad given they are the most comfortable planes I've been in. Lot of space, lots of entry points, very quiet, and almost zero vibration.
Well, I think kind of mixed results for the brand. It shows we can build the largest plane (good) and use subsidies for unprofitable stuff (less good).
Suicide is the reason why Anthony Bourdain died at age of 61
For a bit of context, in the Tcl ecosystem there's the concept of "Starkits" which are executable scripts which contain a stub loader which mounts a virtual filesystem archive (which contains all the files the actual script needs to run).

Typically this has been either a Metakit database or a Zip file, but they both have disadvantages when compared to SQLite and we've been wanting to move to SQLite for a while but it didn't support being appended to things, so we couldn't. At the most recent Tcl Conference DRH agreed to fix this and with this change it looks like he has done it. Expect an SQLite-backed Starkit soon !

Also, and unrelated, Starkits can be converted to "Starpacks" which replace the script-based stub loader with a native executable, so you can distribute Tcl-based scripts as a single file.
Your own opinions with regards to depression are factually incorrect.
Every effort to get rid of plain unsafe C APIs is a plus on my book.

Apple has enough business with developers that care about macOS experience, not plain ports from other platforms.

Well there's another two I thought meant the same thing. Thanks for the lesson!
1. "Chatbots" is horrible branding. Especially with the hype coming near the unfortunate timing of Russian bots interfering in the US election.

2. "Chatbot" makes me think the user is leading the conversation. The bot is interpreting what the human says, and then the bot tries to respond appropriately. This leads to customer service or operations (like calling a car) use cases. These specific use cases are hard to pilot, hard to get right and really tricky to show value to the user or the company. I've never seen a compelling problem/solution/use case for customer service chatbots. The math doesn't work.

3. Messaging is a real channel. It has advantages over phone calls, email, direct mail and even face to face conversations. Chatbots just aren't the right concept for the messaging channel. Dentist reminders work great for instance.

4. If you like thinking about this stuff, I do a podcast all about messaging. It's called The Chat Bubble, and this episode is a good place to start if you want to go deep on FB Messenger. http://thechatbubble.com/2017/11/edit-content-the-playbook-o...
> But it's difficult to practically use AVX-512 when the turbo boost throttling prohibits breaking even with an equivalent AVX/AVX2 workload.

This was also a problem with the first AVX implementations, so this is very typical: In the first generation, Intel makes such an instruction set extension available, so that one can write applications that make use of it (though they will usually not be faster, sometimes even slower). In the following generation this new feature is made fast, so that the newly written algorithms really get to profit from it.
I recently created a cross platform mapping app with quasar v0.16.× , friends, I must tell you this is one of those choices I never regretted
Just to clarify. There is no inherent business cycle. The Great Depression proved that the lows can continue on indefinitely without abatement. Laissez faire economics are dead.
For content-driven websites, static sites are great regardless of editorial complexity. We (https://www.marquee.studio) build editorial tools that connect to our headless CMS (https://www.proof.pub) and compile static websites to be distributed on a CDN. Sites load quickly, and it's a much safer to have your CMS decoupled from the eventual editorial product.

If you read [The First Round Review](http://firstround.com/review), you've seen it in action.
Some numbers would be nice then.
You do not appear to have understood the problem at all.
Also a problem with Apple's "3D Touch."

They hide key functions behind a 3D Touch, but there's absolutely no discover-ability. So you're either left trying to 3D Touch everything to see what works, or actively researching 3D Touch tricks.

As phone gestures become more popular, they'll have the same issue.
Thanks. Is Service Fabric Mesh going to be easy to roll out without Azure? Are you going to provide a set of tools to set the cluster up and operate it, for those who need a self hosted version?

Another thing - how is the Windows build tools for SF going? Is it easy to build right now from the open source version?
I always thought of the act of suicide as making a statement. It really is the highest and ultimate statement one can make about their life and circumstances. It’s more than just giving up and not being able to go on any longer. The act itself has a lot of symbolic meaning.
