Most RS apps will automatically sync the data to the remote storage, when it's changed on your desktop. And when you then access it on your laptop, even in a different app than on the desktop maybe, it would sync whatever you changed down from the remote storage.

> What I'm worried about is that, in the QUIC case, the ISPs do have a valid reason to traffic shape UDP, at least in the name of making the network usable under load.

Overbooking your network to the point that it is regularly overloaded is not a valid reason to drop packets of paying customers. You have to either kick out customers or expand your network.

> There are too much uncontrollable UDP traffic that ISPs can do little about other than just dropping them altogether.

Well, as for DDoS and the like: Tough luck? They could have abstained from abusing their power to inspect traffic, and probably noone would be working on making inspection impossible. They thought it was a good idea to abuse the power, now the power is taken from them, and that's their problem to deal with.

In an ideal world, any well formed experiment is a source of new information. You are supposed to have valided or rejected an hypothesis, and by sharing it, other people can build on that knowledge. We don't live in an ideal world, and people well-being, including rewards, feelings and hopes, must be placed before the ideal goal.

Of course, the usual solution to that issue is to formalize and robotize the process of research, which is probably what the world is slowing tending to.
”The project is unusual in that no government funding is involved, forcing the winner to finance the entire construction cost itself. That limited interest from bidders”

Musk is willing to take more risk in business than others. That likely made his offer a lot lower than that of the competition.

Yes. And he or she may also completely suck at new position. And also, if you have one superstar surrounded by weak people, someone is already doing bad job.

But, worst performed (which is not same as normal average performer) is very likely to suck at leading the thing he or she was unable to learn. Or unwilling to learn. If it is latter, you can expect unwillingness to learn new position too.

Of course, revolutionary idea would be to identify traits that are necessary for new position and look for those.

Then the user will need to get the help of someone with an admin account i.e. their IT department (they probably have an admin account themself if it's a home computer). If this happened regularly it would be a problem, but how often do virus scanners false positive on system files and users quarantine them? I would bet not very often.
This is almost certainly a project to prove parts of their technology, which is part of Musk's greater ambition, and not an "optimal" solution to this particular problem. I think his end-goal here is to create a series of tunnels with skates for cars which his electric cars can drive up to, and then be ferried to their end destination at high speed without traffic.
There is no precision if these short positions are offset by other positions (ie: options). The trader might be arbitraging spot/derivatives and so is not losing $2bn but rather making money.

It is not even clear if the entity collecting this data can have such depth and knowledge of individual positions. Also my understanding is that unless you put capital, your position will margin called. It means the losses are not just on paper. The players have already engaged money.

You might be right. Whereas programmers tend to regard languages as something to be understood, package managers are something they just use ("if it works, it works"). Typical R users (i.e. data analysts) regard languages a bit like programmers regard package managers.
The "projected area" theory is a common misconception of how dihedral works (that I also subscribed to for many years).

"for the vast majority of Americans"

That isn't quite right. Labor force participation fell after 2008, and it has never recovered. While wages might have seen a revival for those lucky enough to have a job, there remains a large block of people who were pushed out of the work force and never found a way back in. See the chart here:

http://www.smashcompany.com/business/labor-force-participati...

Labor force participation is age dependent. If someone is 45 they expect to work another 20 years. But if they lose their job, they have little hope of finding another job that pays as much as their previous job. Generally, an unemployed 50 year old would be lucky to get a minimum wage job. Presumably they made more than that during their career. They won't get back what they used to make (exceptions for those at the peak of their professions).

So folks with jobs are seeing slightly higher wages, but you also need to take into account all the folks who lost their jobs permanently.

It's a very popular word these days, but what is "bias"? Some people assign different prior probabilities than others. Which of them are "biased"?

The people I've known who take an interest in conspiracy theories seem more open-minded and flexible in their beliefs than the general population. They may argue vehemently in favour of a particular theory now, but in six months' time they will probably have moved onto something else. But perhaps we're thinking of different groups of people. For me a typical "conspiracy theory" involves UFOs.
In my opinion, the whole idea of "papers" isn't going to stay. Papers was a way to share information when internet didn't exist. In a future, researching agents (most probably AI or robots) will "chat" and "argue" to each others, building fact and fact-checking each other sentences.

It would basically be the classical reviewing process in real time on every sentences.

In my opinion, "salami" papers go in that direction. Facts, premises and results are decoupled to more units, which can be independently claimed and proved.

> I'm honestly surprised that Red Hat can't manage to keep their distros current with stable package builds.

This is very wrong.

It would be trivial for Red Hat to update the kernel shipped into RHEL. It's not a question that they "can't keep up".

What they are doing is much more difficult and takes much more effort. They are backporting all security fixes, and sometimes other features from newer kernels to older kernels. Why? Because many RHEL customers want older kernels. Unlike Windows and Solaris, Linux doesn't have a stable kernel ABI (by design). Some RHEL customers want to use binary drivers, and they want their drivers to work when they update their system. Some other RHEL customers do not use or need binary drivers, but they do want to avoid possible incompatibility problems introduced by newer kernels. And no, it doesn't matter that the kernel API is very stable. Sometimes even fixing bugs can introduce incompatibility problems in badly written software. Other times something like changing some trivial subtle thing about the scheduler can make a badly written program perform much differently then it used to be. The world is full of such programs, and people who administer such systems are very grateful the behavior of their systems doesn't randomly change across the lifetime of a release.

The fact that RHEL freezes the versions of shipped software is its greatest feature. It's not for everyone, but it's for some people, and for those people it is very important.

Gotcha, sorry - I guess you're right, doesn't mean immediately due, or past due, I just don't think of leases as owing, just a commitment to pay, which might be splitting hairs.

In the linked article of this thread though, and a few others I've read specifically about WeWork, it feels like it is used to imply a currently due debt that they can't pay, mostly for dramatic effect I imagine.

Someone else had some comments in another part of this thread about other companies with large plant/equipment leases receiving similar commentary, such as expensive data centers.

Let me provide you an alternative perspective worth considering. Depending on the seriousness of your condition, having adenoids can result in having problems breathing normally( aka through the nose). Now obviously breathing is very important for your organism, and it will find ways to adapt, and you will find yourself breathing through your mouth.

Breathing through the mouth will encourage the development of a long face, cus tongue is not in its natural position, at the top of the palate. Your posture will change since having the mouth open is not the default position of the body for long periods of time. You might find your neck lunging forward. And these are just second and third order effects for not being to breathe properly during early childhood.

Jaws might not develop properly, teeth as well. And that is all the effects I know about.

Yes, I've had both my adenoids and tonsils removed, in the end. Not early enough though.

tit-for-tat is an optimal (and Nash Equillibrium) strategy for recurring prioner's dilemma if you don't how many games you will play.

If you know the number of games, or it is the last game, always-defect is the Nash Equillibrium.

Depending on social circumstances (such as in a Gulag), murder can be the Nash equillibrium strategy if you optimize for survival.

It's just that such circumstances are outside of the experience of most people, and most people today cannot even imagine it.

"Sea ice" from the titles you quote is just a subset of "ice" and "extent" is just one dimension of all its presence, and there's constantly less total ice (minus seasonal variation). Your title selection misuses some people's unawareness of the difference.

Rich Hickey (Cognicast 142)
> Many of his criticisms of social media will feel familiar to distant observers of American politics. Twitter and Facebook have made us cruder, less empathetic, more tribal.

Have they though?

I get that stuff like Twitter's character limit inevitably brings down the "quality" of conversation since it's difficult to make a nuanced argument in so few words. But social media has also gotten a lot of people from various walks of life who'd otherwise never meet to interact and empathize with each other.

Have the negative effects of social media been greater than the positive ones? Maybe, but I still think it's unfair to blame the medium for the current state of things.

>> Greece is closer to Persia than it is to the British Isles!

Geographically, certainly. Culturally, not at all. The Persian wars (and even Alexander's campaign) were already portrayed as a clash of civilisation by their contemporaries. The difference between one big, monolithic empire vs many agile city-states (a few of them even democratic, to different degrees) was not easy to miss and it becamse a main theme of the interpretations of the Persians' failed campaigns that persists to this day (e.g. - how the Greeks overwhelmed the Persian navy with their smaller, faster, more manoeuverable ships in Salamis etc).

>> "Europe" is a more modern concept.

A lot of this "myth" of continuity comes from the fact that the people who were originally subjugated by Rome ended up seeing themselves as Roman, and proclaimed their proto-nation states to be the legitimate heirs of Rome. Most prominent among them, the Holy Roman Empire (i.e. the origins of modern Germany) and even more so Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire, in other words- the Greeks.

Is there a straight-line connection between Rome and modern Greece that goes through Byzantium? A word for "Greek" in the Greek language is, even today, "Romios", which means - Roman. The Turks even called us "Rum".

Is there a straight-line connection between ancient and modern Greece? We call ourselves "Greek" (I'm one obviously) but we speak a significantly changed language, identify with a single nation-state and recognise a montheistic religion as the official state religion.

And yet, who has more of a claim to being "greek" than modern-day Greeks? Turks, maybe, who live in what used to be Ionia? Southern Italians, who live in Magna Grecia and often speak Greek dialects?

How about a connection with Rome? Who can claim to be a descendant of the Romans any more than the speakers of Romance languages? What about the inhabitants of the "land of the Romans" (Romania)?

What I'm trying to say is- modern nation-states are invariably based on a particular reading of ancient history, which, since we're talking about the Old World, is the history of Rome (and to a lesser extent, Greece). The influence of Rome on the identity and culture of the people of Europe, through those "myths" is of such undeniable magnitude that it really ends up constituting a straight-line cultural connection, even when the culture has changed significantly since ancient times (as of course it would). See "What did the Romans do for us".

"Europe" is a modern concept, sure- but it would not have taken off the ground if it hadn't been for the unifying influence of the Roman Empire.
So thats just not my experience. I dont care about being tracked as i want things to be as relevant to me as possible. The only downside i can see is getting your identity stolen and missused in ways that hurt me, but other than that i dont know what specific downsides you are talking about.
