Two public schools I went to in the mid-west here had private pop vending machines installed up until like 6-7 years ago when people complained about them not being healthy. However what they replaced them with was 'vitaminwater' and fruit juice vending machines which contain just as many calories. In years before then they did hold out for awhile on pop machines but eventually gave in because kids would just stop at a nearby gas station or party store and bring pop in anyways.

Pizza wasn't uncommon but it wasn't like take-out pizza, it was a real cheap basic version that had much less grease and fat. They would on rare occasions make 'real' pizza or have some kind of 'real' food that people would devour, but in general the lunch food was a grade or two lower in quality than the cheapest shit you can buy at walmart. In many schools it is literally the same food/supplier as our prison food so all of it was somewhat questionable in nutrient content.
I believe that foremost it's pattern recognition and abstraction that is tested in IQ tests. No matter in what field people who excel at pattern recognition or abstraction, or both are considered very talented. Yet, other peers in the same field might be competent enough for that field, but they lack talent, the ability to go beyond their general competency in that field. That means, you don't have to have genius level IQ to do well in science, formal training and determination are enough in most cases. High IQ in contrast does not guarantee that the person knows how to put their talents to use, without formal training that is. A bearer of a PhD diploma might still be dumb as a rock, but thanks to formal training, it doesn't seems as obvious. On the other hand, there are people who might be considered low IQ, because they were "too dumb" even for high school, but actually have genius level IQ. It wasn't obvious that they were intelligent, because their abilities weren't seen as such, as they couldn't solve the easiest stuff.
Yes but there is no direct modification to the Lua code, we just install the hooks from the Redis source code using the Lua interpreter. So the implementation of that is directly inside the Redis source tree, scripting.c file.
The paper [1] doesn't show the antennas, but the text seems to indicate the antennas are quite large, as large as the area being observed. Plus, you have to have two perpendicular axes of antenna, so you have to be behind two walls, or one wall and a floor or ceiling. That's a big setup.

It might be useful if you wanted to count people in a crowd going in and out through a big opening, like a subway station or mall.

Interesting story, though I'd argue this wasn't a network attack, rather an attempt to lower latency.
I'm really sorry you had to experience this.
Same thing with the HomePod, it was announced in June and then it was shipped 8 months later.

Are you saying I'm permanently worse off for going to a state school?

That's a totally legitimate viewpoint that I could be sympathetic to. But I also keep hearing that your undergrad degree doesn't matter - often by the same people that complain about AA after I mention I go to a state school. Now which is it?

I've recently used plotnine, and it's been a relatively good experience, but Pandas is absolute garbage compared to the tidyverse, API-wise.
It was the same in the UK in the 80’s - I remember pretty much my entire year at school going for surgery over the course of a year.

Despite having had repeated tonsillitis as a kid (and bronchitis at the same time - unheated boarding school with abysmal hygiene and dozens of boys to a room is quite the disease incubator), my mother, a nurse, dug her heels in, and said no. She'd had to deal first-hand with the outcomes of botched tonsillectomies a few times too many.

They did my brother seven years later without their permission - and he suffers from severe allergies to this day. I have none.

I’ve always been extremely sceptical of “its vestigial” or “that body part is bad for you”. I mean, surely if either were true, selection would have done away with it. If having tonsils were a dysgenic trait, nobody would have them.

I can tell you why it remains such persistent practice - it’s a quick and easy surgery in most cases, and it’s billable at a decent rate in most places. A surgeon in the UK can do ten or more in a day, at £3k a pop. You have an endless supply of patients, and parents who’ll consent because after all they had theirs done when they were kids.

Play your cards right and you’ll make millions a year.
As they should. That pesky 4th Amendment keeps making officers jobs a bit tougher for the freedom of us all from undue persecution. At some point, we have to accept that we cannot prevent bad things from happening in a society where people are free to choose to do bad things. Luckily, the vast majority of our species are good people.
You're right to be cautious and fact check everything you're told. I apologise if my response becomes overly ranty. This isn't to scare you, just to encourage you that you're doing the right thing by taking such an active role in your child's care.

I have views on this that would seem to most people to be seriously conflicted.

I'm militantly pro-science, and I argue constantly in the face of anti-science and pseudo-scientific bullshit anywhere I hear it. It makes me no fun at all at parties, and even some family members groan whenever someone brings up "alternative views" to the scientific consensus on much of anything as they know I'm about to start lecturing, whether it's climate change, vaccination, flat earth (<- seriously) or most of anything else.

On the other hand, my personal experiences of how medical science is applied locally by doctors and surgeons has made me entirely disillusioned with their whole industry, and I never trust anything I'm told without confirming it for myself.

To explain, I'm based in Northern Ireland, and a debate has gone on for a long time as to whether our National Health Service (NHS) is struggling or in trouble. In reality, it has already imploded.

This isn't hyperbole. Here's an exact quote from the BBC:

"Northern Ireland has some of the worst performance figures in the UK.

During the Christmas period, the number of patients seen in four hours in A&E departments dropped to 63%.

Exactly the same proportion started their cancer treatment within 62 days, according to the latest statistics, while the numbers waiting longer than they should for a routine operation have almost doubled in the past four years."

This hits home for me really hard. In the last six years my extended family has experienced:

- Two missed cancer diagnoses.
- A potentially serious (and time-sensitive) diagnosis requiring specialist follow up that was missed on two seperate occasions.
- Delayed treatments for potentially life-threatening cancer of over 100% of the recommended waiting period.

Our local hospital has become known as a place more likely to kill you than help you, due to how abysmal the standard of care is. Here's a link from a couple of months ago:

https://www.irishnews.com/news/2018/03/15/news/pensioner-die...

Life threatening emergencies that arrive by ambulance are often left unattended for over four hours (this is recorded in the public record thanks to open data laws).

I sincerely hope the circumstances in the Czech Republic are better and that the doctors are much less overworked and much more capable of helping you, my intention here is just to give you encouragement that you're right in not just assuming that your child's in safe hands without you being involved.
Yeah. It's not nearly as without-precedent as the author claims. Though its predecessors generally offered two-way interaction with their characters as well.
Why do you say "rich white men", when the issue under suit is "Asian-American"? Is there an Asian-American hegemony over wealth and power in the USA?
The luck really starts with your parents and grandparents, as their financial status generally determines your early social network. http://philip.greenspun.com/bg/ discussed some of Gates' early advantages, like having a trust fund to fall back on if risks don't pan out.

True, I do hope that mobile roaming (and switching between WiFi and mobile) would be the killer app for QUIC. But AFAIK many ISPs treat mobile network differently from home broadband.

For example, my mobile plan and fiber broadband are from the same ISP, yet they appear to be running on two different backbones. The mobile network rarely experience traffic shaping, even at peak hours. My guess is that because mobile generates higher revenue, it gets better infrastructure. The fiber broadband is likely run at loss, it would be de-prioritized.

If that's the case, it would be difficult for QUIC to get traction on desktops.
What kinds of issues?
The way you write "artificial-intelligence" with an hyphen drives me up the wall, if that helps.
I appreciate that. It really was atrocious ice cream.
>individual is at the risk of being excluded from all of them solely because of their race.

For one thing, UC's and CalTech don't.

And even if they were, my resounding response is.... so? Has society regressed to the point where if you don't go to an elite private institution (i.e. not your flagship public university) you will never achieve anything? If the true problem is a lack of social upward mobility, I feel that's a bigger problem than worrying about who gets to win the lottery.

I say this as someone who got into the other school targeted by the group (UNC, I didn't go) while also being Asian and overall very mediocre.
There are no CPUs from Intel that have fixes in silicon yet.

The effects on performance are nothing to worry about. You can disable the fixes if you want to and that's what I do with my 8700k. Inspectre is the tool for that. Drive IO is marginally effected. Not really noticable.
I had frequent tonsil infections as a kid and was given the option to have them out but declined.

Now I have two very small and pitted tonsils due to frequent infections which asides from the odd tonsil stone don’t bother me at all.

I don’t get hay fever or any allergies.

Think I made the right decision
Not enough features to trigger the exodus you need to dethrone Facebook. Facebook beat Myspace because

1) They allowed stalking

2) They allowed stalking on peoples relationship statuses for middle and high schoolers at least in 2004/5.

3) They abstracted away having to hard code your myspace page.

4) The news feed felt like it cured FOMO to a degree (but probably worsed it in actuality)

I think Musks main idea is that everyone else is drilling tunnels with larger diameter than necessary and that drilling scales badly with tunnel diameter. Also he probably thinks that SpaceX material tech and brunt force can make it faster.
Flynn himself does not believe that the Flynn effect represented real intellectual gains.

For any test, your grade is usually based on:
* Your form on that day (good day/bad day whatever)
* Your competence
* Test taking ability (TTA)

The first one can result in pretty large fluctuations, though on the population level (what the Flynn effect measures) it should not matter.
Competence usually means "knows the subject", for an IQ test this would (ideally) be "is smart".
TTA is either "is prepared for the test" or "knows how to make educated guesses".

It is believed that the Flynn effect largely results from two factors:
* Some parts of the population were severely malnourished 50-100 years ago which hindered their brain development.
* Improved TTA

The first one would be a real gain (of intelligence), though with limited capability to expand upon, as these days almost no one (in US/Europe at least) is malnourished enough to allow for further gains at the population level

The second is not a gain of intelligence though it is a gain of competence, just not the kind that we want to measure with an IQ test.

As there are not many reasons to believe, that the current decline is due to nourishment/TTA, it may be that those are constant but actual intelligence is on decline.
How Does Certificate Transparency Work?
But that excludes countless counterexamples with people being born with nothing and becoming self-made millionaires. Again that's not luck its a product of work.
You always choose a reliable dependency not something random. I never had similar experience or saw a project doing that.

You should only version composer.lock and composer.json files. Ignore vendor directory and leave that job to your build step in CI/CD...
I tried reading this in Wiki and it wasn't very clear. Are the last mile fibre? Do government owns it or are they like infrastructure owned by companies like electricity and water where there are requirement for them to open up? Do ISP only manage the fibre connection from Node / Curb? Who owns this Node / Curb?

Are there any single major companies that owns the backbone? And Submarine cables?
How does QUIC work together with µTP/LEDBAT? Also is there any plan to implement this type of congestion control in QUIC? Would it make sense? It could certainly be useful for background synchronization in PWAs.
But that really isn't the metric you actually care about. The only things that matter is distance tunneled per time and that the resulting tunnel can handle your transport needs. Musks believe is that the transport needs can be handled by smaller diameter tunnels than everyone else is boring. At least if they also built the "trains" and casually looking at subway networks that very well might be true.

>I’m a recovering alcoholic, haven’t had a drink in almost 27 years

OT, but what does that even mean? Recovered maybe, recovering, no. He is just someone that hasn't been an alcoholic for 2+ decades...

It's like saying "I'm recovering from a broken ankle, I had my surgery in 1983 and have had no pain at all, and no fractures either, and been running ultra-marathons and doing base jumping ever since 1986".
Nah IoT is so 2017.
Most of the London Underground is above ground.

Of that underground, I Elise the majority is the deep tube bored lines (pic, jubilee, bakerloo, central, northern) rather than pretty much just the circle that's cut and cover.
It was not “an attack on the network” as such (the goal was never to disrupt the network's primary functions, so "the France" was really never "hit") but it was actually a “side-channel exploit” (and effectively a kind of "phreaking" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking ). And it was really brilliant!

I used to use nock which would work very well in node environments. But this works in the browser as well. So I guess this can be fairly helpful while writing tests post development. If you are doing TDD, then recording/replaying doesn't fit anywhere in the development cycle.

I like the API of this library and the browser support that was missing in nock. So thanks Netflix! Although it would have been nice to see nock add this support. Which is what I wonder - why not just contribute to existing libraries.
Also, what's up with the in-your-face hiring pitch right in the documentation?

The way I've often heard alcoholics talk about it is that despite their effort, the disease is always there. There's always a voice saying "have a drink" that they have to constantly guard against, even after such a long time.
Your example of Alan Kay isn't a very good one though, because we can objectively test their opinions on say, the best way to implement `malloc` by having them do it and testing the results against the computer. There is no such equivalent for literature.
On the totem pole of tech nous, I am very close to the bottom. So can someone explain to me "remote browsing" is not a thing? Login to your VPS (or whatever), start and encrypted X session, and browse away.

That is very unusual traffic, of course, and others connecting from my inet-facing IP probably make it even more so: Steam after school, missus hitting the foreign news sites in the AM, the traffic peaks and troughs at certain times of day... we're fucked.

>that Harvard is specifically trying to discriminate against Asian applicants to keep Asians out of the student body.

If this was truly the intention they are doing a very poor job of it. Class of 2021 is 22.2% Asian-American according to their website.
Could there be a correlation between people needing to get their tonsils out and their higher rate of infection from some other factor and not necessarily as a result of the tonsils getting removed?
No. Nobody was interested in lowering latency in the network. The goal was using the communication line by the actors who weren’t officially allowed to use it at all. And they succeeded by “implanting” a real “man in the middle” (using bribing). Then a “side-channel” was used to let other nodes automatically retransmit their own plaintext, undetectable when the information was processed by the original protocol by all the nodes. It was really brilliant.

https://www.inc.com/magazine/19990915/13554.html

"Of course, the bribed operator could not simply be asked to transmit a few extra messages, since that would be immediately detected. Instead, the brothers instructed him to make a specific and highly unlikely series of errors in the transmissions to signal dramatic rises or falls in the Paris market. Normally, operators who had innocently made an error would encode a correction in a subsequent transmission. Both the error and its correction would then be duplicated from station to station. It was not until the message-plus-correction reached the end of the line that a telegraph official would step in to translate the transmission and remove the error. The Blancs were prepared: an accomplice who lived close to the last station on the line to Bordeaux took note of the "errors" before they were deleted and then relayed the news to the Blancs."
Ah, they did finally implement an API for localStorage then. Good to see!

That just leaves hiding the tab bar, gestures that work in all windows (e.g. also in the view-source URL windows) and that work before the target page has loaded, etc.

I do not hold a license but have plenty of simulator experience. Do they not teach how to use an attitude indicator even for a VFR license? Or how to do an instrument scan? I thought this is pretty basic. Even with a good forecast, you can get caught badly by weather. The linked document indicates that invertion can happen with no visibility, but can't this being prevented bay paying attention to the attitude indicator.
There's certainly a grain a truth to that cynicism, as the hyperloop has been used to try to stifle less exotic transportation projects multiple times already.

Tesla has an interest in keeping the governmental investments in automobile infrastructure going strong. It's really an enormous subsidizing that's been going on since the 50s that more than anything else has shaped the way we work and live.

PR plays an important role here. And even if, worst case, that's all the Hyperloop and Boring Co turns out to be, the bang for the buck will be incredible. You have to give them that. It's not a coincidence we're talking about them right now.
If you can still get people through the smaller tunnel you have dug more quickly (because you're using smaller, low-profile vehicles on 'skates') then it's not snake-oil, it's smart.
Just to add to the anecdotes in here. I had my tonsils removed at about the age of three and never suffered any particular consequences.
Detecting pseudo-science questions is just topic detection. That's easy.

not mistaking questions for assertions of fact is basically claim verification. That's pretty much beyond the reach of NLP systems at the moment. It's an active area of research, but if this system doesn't impress you then current claim verification systems most definitely won't either.

Trying to understand the context of sentences might be possible. I think that sentence would challenge that approach for a while: "prejudices" implies bias, but doesn't necessarily imply disagreement.
Address randomisation should give you the same level of deniability.

The only part of your address that doesn't change is the same part that is unchanged in the IPv4 case.

Unless you have CGNAT of course, but I don't think anyone would argue that that thing is a good thing to have.
They didn't opt out of FDE and there are no company policies/requirements either.

I have three laptops on my desk right now, one HP Probook and two different Lenovo Ideapads. All three are running Windows 10 Enterprise (2x LTSB 2016, 1x 1803).

NONE of them have FDE enabled or have ever asked asked me about it.

Given the bold claim "[FDE is] on by default for (...) Windows users" - without mention of caveats re: login account types, domain memberships, or hardware requirements - it seems the counterexamples just keep coming.
