No, the GOP was planning to block Hillary's nominees as well.

And people did decide... In 2012 when they voted for Obama by like 51%. Lame duck presidents have gotten SCOTUS seats before. Reagan nominated and had a confirmation in his final year by a supermajority.

The setting of prices and banning of medical advertisement of drugs would eliminate the need for massive marketing budgets which exceed the R&D budgets for the drug industry.

Of the R&D budgets spent by private companies, much of it is spent on patent extending repackaging exercises instead of fundamental research.

And the OP still hasn't named one nation with fully deregulated healthcare while there are 30-40 OECD nations running much better performing healthcare systems with properly placed gov't controls while the US without is a complete outlier in the data.

I don't want to be caustic, but the national data say so much more than hopes for a free market solution in the area of healthcare.
This is easily solved with something like .editorconfig.

I personally use four spaces. What I was trying to point out is that this is not necessarily "bad code standards" from the author. As long as everyone in the project is onboard, and tooling support means the code is perfectly readable, I really don't care if you would use seven poop emojis for indentation.
You certainly wouldn't want that guy in charge of doing anything covert! Is it trying to say he used his real name in IRC too (or is that interpretation for the file)!?
Not to nitpick, but I'm not sure the nature of time is so indisputably the greatest remaining mystery.

The nature of consciousness, life, and death can all certainly give it a run for its money.

Then repair with the same substandard part that ends up failing again later. e.g. 2011 Macbook Pro with the GPU problem.

I've got such a 2011 Macbook Pro, and it had a logic board replacement to fix the GPU problem in late 2014 and now that logic board has failed with the same problem.
Wow. Here in New Zealand we switched over to EFTPOS ( debit cards ) around 20 years ago. I was still in school when cash was becoming rare. Mid 30s now so cash seems odd to me.
Apple's hardware quality has been iffy for a very long time. The difference is that they tend to willingly replace parts that are known to fail.

I kind of suspect that there's some kind of (tax?) benefit to retaining part of the old building, and these architects are doing the absolute minimum to qualify for it without really honoring what was probably the intent of the policy.
One of my machines (a $3000+ 2017 15") has had several keys fail. I actually use an external keyboard just so I don't have to deal with the unreliable keys. Between the frustrating touchbar and this I honestly can't recommend the current generation of MBPs...
Risk of borrowers defaulting is the entire ethical justification for lending with interest. Collateralization reduces the risk of the loan, but doesn't eliminate it; after all, cars lose value over time, and businesses may or may not be able to sell assets for enough to cover their liabilities. Indeed, the closest you get to eliminating the risk of a loan is having the federal government guarantee it, so...

Sounds more like "Unicode support" or even "input sanitization" was the missing feature there. As long as you have bytes in = bytes out and you don't crash on unexpected input, you never need to know that emoji even exist to avoid these problems.

Just waking up to it? I'm an older millennial 33 and I've been awake for a long time.

My friends who didn't get PTSD in the war spent the first 8 years of our career in a recession so when the market grew had no money in the market to capitalize on that. And even as a healthy person with good health care and six figures in my bank I worry I can get wiped out by a medical emergency.

I think it's more like: other people are finally realizing what millennials have been living with their entire adult life so far.

I wrote a Nintendo DS emulator in Go (see my GitHub) and ended up seeing lots of missing optimizations in generated code. I opened a few tickets and then focused on BCE. I realized that one of the main problems was the missing transitivity of the pass, so I ended up writing a largish piece of code to implement a partial-order set (see the poset data structure) and then picking on a few low hanging fruits that it opened up to be picked (searching for open tickets on GitHub issues). These were my first contributions to the SSA passes btw.
disagree with this article. The so called dominant co-founder is the one that is most visible from the outside. It is not clear for example if Jan Koum is the dominant co-founder in WhatsApp. He is the most vocal one on the outside, but who knows how it works on the inside.

I tend to believe that people that spend a lot of time advertising themselves on the outside, do not spend a lot of time managing things on the inside of the company.
Good point, I missed that.

It has little to do with culture and everything to do with current economic stage of development, Japan was known for making faulty mass produced garbage in the 50's and 60's, they used that economic model to bootstrap the manufacturing industry and to make investments in education, science, tech and manufacturing. From 1950 to 1970 Japan went from 40% agricultural to 17%. [0]

Similar story taking place in China, just 30 years later (following the cultural revolution). From 1980 to 2010 China went from 33% agricultural to <10%.[1] Now you're seeing deep investments in education, software, high tech manufacturing, science. In 20 years, it will be normal to see Chinese brands leading the market in some areas the way Toyota, Honda, Sony and Panasonic did in the 90s and 2000s (and still now in some areas).

>Name one thing we have adopted from China in terms of manufacturing principles/philosophy.

I don't know who we are in this conversation, but from my point of view, there seems to be some kind of hegemonic-cultural war going on in the JAPAC region. I have no stake in the fight, so arguments stemming from the point of view of cultural superiority will fall on deaf ears.

edit: A side note is that Japan in the 80s was exporting their highest quality goods to the US while leaving lower-mid quality goods for the domestic market, this is also contributed to Japan's good brand growth internationally.
I switched to Linux on Lenovo because of the problems I've had from the latest MBP.

You might expect problems from a 500-euros laptop, but not that your keyboard will stop functioning correctly after 2 months on a 1799-eur laptop.

Also, I brought my laptop at the Apple store thrice, and it broke again every single time. Last time, the logic board died, along with the SSD that is soldered to it and all data on it.

Repairs might be free, but who pays for the lost time and inconvenience of not having a computer? How much should one spend so that a laptop keeps typing after a few weeks?

My MBP lasted 5 months. Then I sold it for 1000EUR and sweared I'd never give Apple another dime.

Ironically, a 300-eur laptop with a regular keyboard that I was using as a substitute has been working great for years.
Great answer @sov, in fact if that was an easy process everyone would already have copied it [with a profit]. And it's not only about the process, the microclimates of the Sambirano valley and Sava regions of Madagascar give it a unique flavor. But that doesn't mean it can't absolutely be done anywhere else, that's only a matter of time.
That doesn't sound like a suburb to me, it sounds like a town. The suburbs I'm familiar with don't have a downtown to be non-crowded or in which to have a small family friendly parade. I like towns too, but the ones where I live are still expensive akin to the cities in the area, whereas the non-town residential + strip mall only suburbs are where it is cheaper to live.

This is great news for MBP/MB owners. The lack of a 2018 release of notebooks while they properly address this is the right thing to do. I wonder how much the class action lawsuits had to do with this, but I feel happy about the outcome regardless of how we got here. Net-net though, I think Apple did lose out in the sense the faulty keyboard drove a segment of their user base to experiment with a Linux or Windows based work environment when news of keyboard reliability issues surfaced after the 2016 release. Having not used a Windows based system for years, I now have a Lenovo X1 Carbon as a backup notebook after my 2017 MBP had keyboard issues. And to be honest, it's not bad with the Windows Linux Subsystem (Ubuntu installs as an app from the app store). Losing mind share is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a brand.
This is a bit off topic, and I love IRC, but I'd love a modern IRC client.

Features I'd like:

- Inline images and media

- html preview

- people list, friends, but also an automatic highlight system, when I chat with someone I don't know for some time, I'd like to have that person on some list.

- Conversation history (a way to jump to my conversations within the channel history).

- More advanced profiles (image, bio...) Option to publish my public channel list.

- End to end encryption if in private channels

- Notifications

- Status (busy, helping...)

- Activity summary (mostly for private channels but being able to know who was active, and what was discussed).

- Reactions (on busy channels it is quite fun and a fun way to say thanks without pollution).

- Threads.

Clearly it is the difference between the two numbers plus one if both are to be included in the result and the difference minus one if both are excluded. That is because the conventional difference excludes the one being subtracted but includes the other one. Think of it as set difference.

> Where, precisely, do you think your phones and computers are manufactured?

Vietnam, which now produces more Samsung phones than China does.

"Samsung has invested $17.3 billion in eight factories and one research and development center in Vietnam, turning the country into its largest smart phone production base, the government said. ... Exports from Samsung Electronics’ factories in Vietnam totaled $54 billion last year" [1]

US trade with Vietnam has massively exploded higher over the last decade. The US now imports as much from Vietnam as it does France (an economy 12 times larger). That trend will continue.

China's low value manufacturing is too easy to replace.

The US can move its manufacturing to any number of about two dozen other low cost countries. Just as US capital and the vast US consumption machine built China (and Japan + South Korea before that), it can next build up numerous other nations. The US has no permanently fixed need for China, there's nothing they contribute that can't be manufactured elsewhere (as witnessed by the way clothing manufacturing rapidly fled China on cost, and now eg Samsung's smart phone manufacturing).

Most of what China is looking to do is copy and then compete with what the US already does, from Boeing planes to military tech to semiconductor tech to software to biotech, medtech & pharma. China is a giant clone machine, nothing has changed about that at all. Accordingly, China has nothing novel that the US doesn't already have access to elsewhere or otherwise.

I don't think this is too complex at all. I know what the process of raising a successful startup from scratch is like, I know what I bring to the table, and I also will only consider an equal split.

My direct observation is that capital is one of the least critical things someone brings to a software startup at day 0. A nontechnical CEO that brings funding is not entitled to special endowment; that's their job.

I have the theory this is one factor that prevents a 2018 MacBook. They cant make the keyboard work properly.

This and the fact they can't upgrade to CoffeeLake without going to 28W TDP. Theyd have to use 2core CPUs with Iris graphics instead of the now standard 4core in the Ultrabook space, which would make the device look like a toy. And Intel cant deliver 10nm chips. It is not looking cool. Maybe they only bring out a new, slightly chunkier 15" with 32G of lpddr4 and CoffeeLake 4core which would make a lot of video and pro people very happy.

EDIT: Coffee Lake does not support lpddr4 yet. So thr macbook is stuck with 16G RAM.

>prohibits businesses from denying service to users for exercising their rights under the bill.

I believe the GDPR also includes this stipulation. I'm curious how this actually plays out. Are we saying that:

- Company A makes their money by selling/using data and offers their service for no other charge

- User can tell Company A that they want to use the free service but don't want to give away any of their data

- Company A must provide free service without recouping any of the cost

- How does Company A survive? (I'm talking about a legit, transparent use of data here, not some shady business model)

This is one of the reasons GNU ls now quotes names with unsafe characters by default, so the common case of copy and pasting output from ls to commands will be safe, or if typing the argument, there is a visual indication of a potential issue.

If you think Verilog is bad, you should see the languages used by heart surgeons, civil engineers and rocket scientists. The language of human biology is ridiculously verbose without even a hint of polymorphism. ;-)

My point is that it's a little silly to evaluate hardware engineering through the lense of software engineering.

In hardware engineering the part that looks like "software" (what a HW engineer may refer to as the behavioral RTL) is a small component of the total design effort. The tradeoffs are all completely different.

Computer hardware engineering is much closer to designing a bridge than it is to writing a software application. Debating the best hardware-descriptor language is similar to debating whether bridge designers should use No. 1 or No. 2 pencils.
Then how about "Zoomer" instead?

It is my opinion that just having to ask a judge for a warrant makes law enforcement officers do a lot more work than if they could just invade someone's privacy as a matter of due course. I don't think I've heard of any judges getting fired for issuing too many warrants, but judges occupy a special place in our society: they are people learned enough in the law of the land that we invest in them the power to adjudicate disputes. The assumption is that the judges hold themselves to a higher standard.

The problem is that this service will mean sending in the computer because the keyboard is not easy to replace on this model. I've heard from techs they just end up replacing the whole thing.

Does anyone know if the keyboard they plan to replace it with is better? Or is it the exact same keyboard that will end up sticking again after a month?
The system in place was obvious they didn't want to give all tenants unrestricted access to the room. Each time you entered a code you had to sign for your package and it took a photo. The room was also video monitored. Who knows if it was bad design, appreciable increase in theft, or insurance reasons.

I still think the worst part of the experience was sifting through all the packages. They had a shelf dedicated for each floor, but a sign saying people move stuff. I saw the office staff go in and resort packages onto the correct shelf everyday.

I've had much, much better experiences with Amazon locker. If I was still in an apartment and one was 0.5 - 1 mile away I would choose it every time (assuming it was a 24hr location).
Re: "Let's be honest, the main use...going to be military."

While perhaps true, usually one finds a friendlier name regardless, in order to hide or reduce the perception of association with war. It's why we have a "Dept. of Defense" instead of a "Dept. of Offense" or "Dept. of War". I'm not necessarily condoning such a practice, merely making an observation of product and project naming practices.
It's not just about the price; these engines are still highly competitive fifty years after they were designed. That's quite a feat. They're also based around unique technology.
I think you have hit on the difference between real hardship and simply being poor. Hardship can happen at any economic level. We weren't poor, but all of us kids were abused in my family. I got the worst of it, so I hit bottom first.

But I bounced back quicker than my siblings, all of whom ended up dealing with drugs, alcohol problems, social problems, abusive relationships (they caused, and were afflicted by), and they are all in their 30s and 40s now.

I really wanted a peaceful childhood, but even today I struggle with the affects of it. Chores to us were more like punishment. When you knew you were going to get beaten, who can care if the house is clean? We would get beat whether we tried hard or not, so why try hard, better to try and have fun when you can... which is recipe for disaster and failure in adulthood.
It's impossible to pass around functions without arguments in Haskell, because there are no functions without arguments in
Haskell. It looks like the same is true of Gluon. (So you don't really pass around the function name: you pass around the variable which contains the result of evaluating the expression.)

In languages where there can be functions with no arguments, if referring to the function without parentheses calls it, it can be inconvenient to get a reference to the function itself.
