For a more detailed analysis on land percentages I'd refer to Frank Karsten (scroll down to the conclusion if you want just the numbers):

https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/how-many-lands-do-y...

With 35% lands (21/60) you are likely to end up mana-screwed (not enough lands) unless you build your deck to match the low land count. For a generic rule of thumb I think it is better to recommend a bit more lands than that.

As a regular traveller for leisure and living in a major tourist destination (Amsterdam), I've been thinking and experiencing a lot the issue of over-tourism. However, I disagree with the article's idea that the only solution is to stop traveling voluntarily.

Personally, I think pre-approved tourist visas will be the most efficient way of controlling how many people can travel to a country and then regions of a country. So, the solution already exists in part. Understandably, a few cities and areas of a country receive most tourists. You could therefore regulate the amount of visitors in each area by issuing location-depdendent visas. For example: "On the chosen dates you can come to the United States, but cannot visit New York or Florida. You may visit California, Nevada, Georgia etc etc."

It's terrifying and limiting, but realistically it's the only pro-active solution I can think of to improve the sustainability of a place, especially for the locals. Flight prices are likely to continue to drop and more people will have means to travel internationally. You cannot count on people's consciousness to address this issue.

I like those little Logitech m187 mice. Very handy in cramped spaces. Their bigger cousins too, like the M325. The IR technology allows the battery life to be very long. In my 187, I use batteries that were discarded from other devices; I can get weeks to months out of "dead" batteries in this mouse. From time to time, quite rarely, the m187 locks up requiring the battery to be pulled and re-inserted to resume operation.
The patients are indeed potentially hurt more than anybody in this fraud, and it makes it much more egregious than the more ordinary silicon-valley <fake it till you make it> fraud (& I've been angry about since before it was popular to hate on Theranos).

However, in ending with "the venture capitalists are just fine", the article also completely misses another class of people who are also hurt by these types of fraud -- all the other more worthy honest startups that went unfunded or under-funded when Theranos sucked $700 million out of the investment ecosystem.

All of the other bogus companies mentioned ( Hampton Creek; Zenefits; Lending Club; Skully; ScoreBig; Rothenberg Ventures; Faraday Future; Hyperloop One...), and many others not only suck the life out of the system, they destroy the ability of other honest startups to make it.

The VCs legitimately risk failure; it's the nature of VC.

But they aren't supposed to be risking fraud, which is perhaps why they don't catch it as much as they should in Due Diligence. Seems they need to do better Due Diligence, checking not only whether everything matches their expectations, but also whether it actually is what it is represented to be.
AMD Trolls Intel: Offers 16-Core Chip to Winners of Six-Core 8086K
The science of this particular area of human behaviour is still in its infancy. Proponents of the current dominant "transgender identity" paradigm have an enormous political interest in dissociating themselves clearly from anything that smacks of sexual fetishism, understandably so when the reactionary element in our culture is so quick to reach for the "don't let those perverts into our women's bathrooms" response. Perhaps once all the relevant political battles have been won, those dissidents who insist that evidence points to a much more varied and nuanced experience will be allowed to have a voice again. Ironic that those who love to wave the rainbow flag are not always open to the whole spectrum of human sexual experiences, especially when it doesn't suit their political programme.

I noticed this among friends and co-workers who are mostly under 30. They all have Facebook but switched to Instagram or Snapchat. Their Facebook accounts are stagnant save for the few likes and staying connected with older family who joined FB to keep in touch.

The big reason seems to be the fact hat FB was too public. People were all in each other business and it gets ugly. Snap and IG are more direct, more one-on-one so to speak (at least my perception, I don't use social) giving people more privacy to post and like things they may not want mom/dad/grandma to see.

I will hold to my opinion stated before, these systems are not safe enough to be on public roads as of yet let alone in the hands of consumers.

that out I still see no reason why we don't adapt limited access roadways to support self driving in that realm. a large number of cities have dedicate HOV and (express) toll lanes that can all be adopted and marked much easier to support self driving capability in a controlled environment. plus its probably a good chance than both manufacturers of cars as well as AD systems along with drivers themselves would be willing to pay more for such access. I just recall the imagery from the old William Shatner series Tekwar that showed a similar approach, get on highway and car takes you into the city. It could even then be extended to service event centers so that it continue driving for you till parked; think off expressway to airports and stadiums

> Ink x86, ALL synchronization primitives are "LOCK" prefixed. That is: for the FULL Read-modify-write, the cache line is held in exclusive mode (or equivalent). Its just how the assembly code works.

I'm okay with your conclusion, but your first sentence is incorrect. The XCHG instruction is fully atomic and sequentially consistent even without a LOCK prefix. (This isn't to say x86 has any particular magic -- XCHG with a memory operand is just automatically LOCKed.) Also, ordinary stores are releases, and are thus quite useful as synchronization primitives, without any LOCK prefix at all.
What really bugged me for a while is how unbelievably easy it was to beat a very large amount of hand tuned code using ML. Going from 92.x% accuracy to 97% accuracy even without any tweaking at all feels like cheating.
And I still say it's BS. Or, to be more charitable, excessive hyperbole.
Yup and thankfully now we have so many different money systems that one can decide where to keep their value. People need not keep cash under the mattress if they dont want to. You can hold scarce assets that appreciate over time and only hold inflationary fiat when you need to purchase something. Thus you will never be pressured to spend all your money because most of your "money" isnt being held in inflationary assets.

We are told that inflation is good because it encourages spending but i would argue that such an effect is being dimished because many deflationary assets are traded on liquid markets.

I grew up in Alaska in a town of about 30,000. The cruise ships carried ~5000 passengers, and they kept building new docks, so that there would be several at a time docked and anchored, each of which was bigger then our 10 story federal building. Picture a floating sky scraper. The part of town around their piers turns into theme park in the summer. They used to make announcements on their megaphones that I could hear from my house 2 miles away. They dumped sewage and trash in the ocean close to nearby towns sometimes using legal loopholes, but sometimes illegally, and were occasionally fined for this. They also set up company stores downtown, and bussed hundreds of people into small local parks, trails, and beaches.

The cruise companies are incorporated in low tax foreign jurisdictions, outside the political reach of the citizens of places they visit. Sometimes the city pushes back a bit. The last time I went home they seemed to have eased off of the megaphones, and I heard a head tax was proposed at some point to help clean up after the tourists and maintain the public parks, but I don’t know if it passed. The city and state are both small enough that the cruise companies can out-lobby locals interests quite handily. They promise jobs, but import labor. They have PR campaigns that brag about their public service efforts, omitting that these are court ordered, etc. It seems to me that the ability to shop for jurisdiction creates great opportunity for legal arbitrage. I have no idea what to do about this, but I think it’s interesting. Maybe there’s a metaphor here… something something Panama papers. :)

> It's kinda funny how Americans still thinks US is doing shit to help anyone else besides themselves and their business interests.

It depends on what you mean by that statement I suppose. It sounds like you are of the opinion that literally every single foreign aid initiative the United States of America undertakes is, at it's core, entirely (not partially, as I would suspect the case to be, but entirely) for the purposes of advancing the interests of American businesses.

Is that a more or less proper characterization of what you've said, or have I misunderstood?

And if it is proper, how might you have come to know this? I mean, for the sake of argument let's assume it's true - if this what they were really up to, I'd think most of the corresponding proof would be known only to a fairly select group of trustworthy insiders. How would you have found out these details?

This story doesn't seem to add up, but maybe I'm missing something?

Every email service provider has to deal with this from time to time, but well-designed email operations and infrastructure should generally limit the impact to a small subset of customers - usually, especially with a known high-volume sender, Spamhaus will list as narrow of a range as possible to prevent false positives.

The fact that this applies so broadly implies that Intercom may need to rethink some of the details of their email operations, and/or beef up their anti-spam enforcement efforts.

As an aside, it appears Intercom uses Mailgun with dedicated IPs, judging from recent samples.

The outer space treaty of 1967, which the United States signed, states that "the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all humankind;
outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States;
outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means;
States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner;
the Moon and other celestial bodies shall be used exclusively for peaceful purposes;
Astronauts shall be regarded as the envoys of humankind;
States shall be responsible for national space activities whether carried out by governmental or non-governmental activities;
States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects"

Looks like we're throwing all that out the window in favor of a new arms race. Only now we're spreading the fun to other planets too. This is a prelude to making claims on extraterrestrial bodies and then fighting wars over them; don't be naive.
