you're totally right. they actually did. insects and beans are traditional foods in Mexico. and corn and beans are complementary protein sources.

what's more, the technical process of transforming untreated corn meal into a food humans can digest and extract B vitamins from is one of the many triumphs of ancient Mesoamerican cuisine. they figured out how to do all of this centuries before the Spanish arrived, and i would guess, before human sacrifice attained a massive scale in the Aztec era.

i find it very difficult to believe that cannibalism was nutritionally necessary.
More specifically, an NSA owned and operated datacenter. They are offering access to other intelligence community services, so technically that would be "cloud", but in this case it's NSA's own "cloud".

That only applies to shared libraries. If the crate builds the library and links it statically, you don't see the tooling.
I had a dripping pipe over my power shower pump and couldn't do anything immediately. So I taped a metal straw from the source of the drop angled down to a bowl. Worked perfectly.
The article makes a good point, but I can't even get to thinking it matters when the metagame of players diving vs refs/VAR decides far more matches.

This seems like a perfect application of ML. Upgrade the VAR to decide all potential fouls without real-time human intervention. Humans can only take part in offline training supervision. We'll just have to deal with the fallout of machines being able to accurately assess humans trying to lie to them.
Is there such a thing as a "healthy" internet community? I'd argue not. So much of our society's ills these days is people not dealing face-to-face
of course there is corruption in the west, the west is not immune from human nature. the west is really not different than any other country, it just has a "strong" economy and pretends it is the standard and a really effective "narrative", everyone else "unquestioning" believes in this one measurement ruler to rule them all mentality and buys the products it sells. it is quite simple. west and east, are the same, just a unreal division so they can make you choose sides and not pay too much attention to other things.
I think it’s interesting because even when a person outside of China is exposed to them, they might not realise the influence. Close to a million people a day play Dota 2 but I doubt they know that the Monkey King (https://youtube.com/watch?v=guGFT27SavM) is the main character of Journey to the West.

About these 4 books, are there any translations or Kindle versions you recommend?
In modern fiat money, the money isn't printed. It's created by issuing bonds and then counting those bonds as an asset. The money is created when the bank loans out money based on those bond assets.

If you believe it needs to be ever paid back, it hasn't been paid back since 1914. It just grows ever larger.

The initial 1914 version pegged the fiat money to gold. Like all pegging systems, they eventually collapse catastrophically, and this one did in 1929.
Important subject, terrible article. A famous one, by Eric Hoffer, 1958:

As I walked several blocks from the bus stop to the docks, I was impressed by the gardens in front of the houses. The houses, of average size, are fairly old, yet in excellent shape. The people living there are mostly workingmen.

The sight of the gardens and houses turned my mind to the question of maintenance. It is the capacity for maintenance which is the best test for the vigor and stamina of a society.

Any society can be galvanized for a while to build something, but the will and the skill to keep things in good repair day in, day out are fairly rare.

At present, neither in the Communist countries nor in the newly created nations is there a pronounced capacity for maintenance.

I wonder how true it is that after the Second World War the countries with the best maintenance were the first to recover. I am thinking of Holland, Belgium and Western Germany. I don’t know how it is in Japan.

The Incas had an intense awareness of maintenance. They assigned whole villages and tribes to keep roads, bridges and buildings in good repair.

I read somewhere that in ancient Rome a man was disqualified as a candidate for office because his garden showed neglect.
I appreciate that your abilities in this are beyond my own.

I think what is absent in your cost description is the value of them.

And in the commercial world, we seem to have products that ameliorate that cost in part through the state of their security. Whether neglectful, or deliberate (e.g. the whole "advertising model" with respect to much Web content). I don't know enough to describe how this works in the hardware/firmware world, but I suspect nonetheless that it's a factor.

I'm not saying anything novel, here, except that often we leave the cost of expertise out of our pricing and expectations.

Whether our own, or paying for someone else's.

And... marketing too often attempts to substitute image for reality. High prices, with just a showman behind the curtain.
Can it be the case that the constant fear of being fired is not an ideal environment for a teacher? Teaching needs a long-term commitment which needs a different kind of incentive than a bonus. I have similarly observed that researcher who wants to do fundamental research are not very comfortable in startup environment which lacks security.
> Grass is not a human food source

maize is a grass. so are wheat and rice.
So they claim. But:

A. I'm an environmental studies major and anytime I present evidence that plants are aware of suffering, it is ignored and dismissed.

B. I was homeless for nearly 6 years. A so-called ethical vegan I knew (who wasn't actually a full-time vegan and ate vegetarian, not vegan, as convenience suited them) happily and enthusiastically added to my suffering during that time. Given how often ethical vegans gleefully psychologically torture their non vegan fellow humans over their failure to be vegan, I have zero reason to believe this individual's cruelty towards me was some wild aberration in the veg- community.

Please note the other comment here by someone using terms like no reason to believe, logically and a failure of analysis. The subtext of the framing celebrates this western idea that intelligence is everything.

So we can presumably agree to disagree at this point.
The guy should just run a Patreon, instead of doing this. They're ruining FileZilla's reputation.
You are so right! It's interesting how this applies to many different fields, including software development. I've seen quite a few projects/products fail because maintenance was abandoned in favor of starting from scratch.

I don't know if you read it or not, but the article focuses mainly on GDPR. I’m apparently not the only one with this impression. The poster of this story on HN actually titled it “Facebook JavaScript SDK is often illegal under GDPR”.

I've become almost entranced with the concept of comparing things to the size of a Floppy Disk. I'm actually planning to get a tattoo of one on my right forearm. I've been working on a large business management platform for the last couple of years and noticed that after investing $500k (salaries/etc) and building a huge amount of functionality, the frontend and backend codebases are still under 1.5mb. Pretty amazing.
Full disclosure: I used to work at PagerDuty and am a shareholder. These views are my own. Take this with appropriate salt.

Congrats on the release.

Looking at this, it’s difficult to determine how it’s different or why it’s better than PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or VictorOps. The page talks about a close integration with Slack, but it’s unclear what problem that solves for me wrt incident management. Note keeping / scribing is one part of incident management, but theres also:

- mustering. Getting other SMEs on the call. Both knowing who to page and actually paging them are two important problems.

- triage. Quickly knowing the severity of an incident.

- context. Sorting through all of the incoming data and metrics to find the cause.

Does this tool help with those?

From what I recall about VictorOps, they started out with a similar thesis to incident management and focused on chat / mobile / collaboration out of the box. I don’t know if they validated their hypothesis, but their marketing material did change in recent years to cover other aspects of incident management. I take that as evidence that the chat piece alone wasn’t sufficient.

Final thing I’d recommend is making it easier for potential customers to self select on your home page. Right now you’re targetting the IM market at large with “Things break. Be ready.” Is that your customer though? Any sized organization? Could you take on a 500 user company? 1000 person? Maybe something like “we help small businesses manage incidents”.

“come fight fires with us” makes it sound like your team is actively helping resolve my incidents.

Open borders will, at first, cause downward pressure on wages, as the labor pool of workers able and willing to perform work for a lower price grows. The magnitude would be more pronounced than with what we've been currently able to observe with controlled borders, because the article proposes a scenario where welfare and public assistance would readily apply to newcomers too. In fact, there would be a growth in the lucrative industry of coyotes who offer transportation and relocation assistance, because their line of work would now be legitimate.

Increased demand for housing will cause costs to spike, which means that those most willing and able to pay larger amounts will live where they wish, and everyone else will be relegated to far outskirts, including nonimmigrants whose incomes fall further behind cost of living. In this scheme, generous profits will be made by landowners of high-demand locations, and shareholders of corporations who can take advantage of the influx of labor and the expanded customer base. It's not too different from our world's current direction, except within a particular state, the absolute numbers of the wage class and the underclass would be much larger.

Don't you still need C tooling setup for the crate to build the C library?

Especially on Windows, this can be a pain.
1) I mildlt disagree with this. There are lots of amazingly written Java libraries, and not all teams or people write “over enterprises code. I’ve seen dubious code quality on both ends of the spectrum in many languages. I do not think this is limited to Java, but more of a fact that Java is very popular and has been around for a long time, and thus has a lot of both good and bad history with it. I feel that modern Java practices have really improved.

2) Without a doubt native shines here. I’ve also been a victim of those massive GC spikes in the past. But I think saying the JVM has horrible GC seems a bit hyperbolic as it’s quite matured and more than adequate for most usecases.
Neat, glad to know that we don't ever need to give teachers raises.
Banning anything is possible. Effectively enforcing that ban is another matter.
All this means is that better methods will need to be invented to score teachers, not that it's impossible. For example, one thing I've seen missing in these studies is a system design that attempts to control for the distribution of students in a given incoming class, which seems like the single most predictable metric for end-of-year performance.
No, that's assuming only .76 of a person read the post.
> A trillion is not a billion

There is a way to get these mixed up: a mis-conflation of the short and long number scales, where a "billion" on the long scale is 10^12 (which, of course, on the short scale is called a "trillion"). If you're curious about this, I suggest you read Wikipedia's article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
If we're abandoning accurate reproduction of sound and just making up anything that sounds plausible, there's already a far more efficient codec: plain text.

Assuming 150wpm and an average 2 bytes per word (with lossless compression), we get about 5bps, which makes 2400bps look much less impressive. Add some markup for prosody and it will still be much lower.

This codec also has the great advantage that you can turn off the speech synthesis and just read it, which is much more convenient than listening to a linear sound file.
Well, this is all my own, near life long, research: what is power, how modern state came to be, and how one can manipulate it.

Few interesting factoids from it:

Did you know that theocracy vs bureaucracy was not a decided topic in Europe until mid 19 century?

It was a single letter of a British envoy to China that shocked the crown so much as for it to institute the His Majesty Civil Service modelled after Chinese model of professional institute of career bureaucrats. Something that is traced to first Chinese states in known history.

My grandpa said that every modern state is made by "the 3 grave sins of Chinese people:" 1. Invention of paper, 2. Invention of money, 3. Invention of gunpowder. Indeed, without those there will be no career bureaucrats, no central banks, no conscript armies, and no modern state.

And on Prussians, rulers of the old Europe were not as much afraid of Prussian people themselves, than the spread of ideological "Prusianness." Today, the most relevant comparison to them are members of Ikhvan ul Muslimin in the middle east, and how Arab gerantocracy, and nobility is afraid of them as fire.

Just as with Prussia, Qatar is not as scare to Arab rulers than "Qatariness" - the virulent Qatari identity. An identity of people who are not afraid to demand their rulers to be rightful, and reward them with great loyalty for that.

Ironic you pick on Metallica as example as they basically "won" the loudness wars[0] with the release of Death Magnetic. So ridiculously overblown and compressed that it was clipping constantly and heavily featured in mainstream media. Even one of the album's mastering engineers complained.

WHO gaming disorder listing a ‘moral panic’, say experts
It could also be that the quality of teacher just can’t overcome other systematic problems like discipline, required curriculum, lack of flexibility, home environment, materials used, or something else.
The book actually looks sort of interesting (although reviews suggest it's not written very well). I'm not aware of other recent books that pull together recent discoveries although I can't say it's an area that I follow especially closely.

But, yeah, there's absolutely nothing in the interview to support the claim that Jurassic Park modernized paleontology. Rather, Jurassic Park represented an era where: 1.) CGI has getting astonishingly good relative to what people were used to seeing and 2.) Dinosaurs were being dramatically rethought relative to the giant lumbering reptiles that were still how most people thought of them.
Basically if the company knows that you + your skills are legit and valuable, you will have a lot of leverage over them.

In my line of work (sales), I am dime-a-dozen and I don't have many connections, so I go along with someone's crazy and stupid hiring process. Usually I am denied anyway, but after a long process, I landed my current job.
a bit disappointed with the image quality. The original realsense r200 was probably the worst depth camera I've tried - it was barely better than two webcams and parallax processing. The new cameras doesn't look to be much better from the video..

I wish there was better driver support for the kinect2, still the best depth camera you can buy imo.
I like what I do for a living as a software developer that I don’t mind going to work everyday but I wouldn’t do it for free.
I think we are in agreement. I was saying that I was looking for an embedded programming language like this for Rust, and now I've found it.
JNI transitions (at least on OpenJDK and Android) are much more expensive that WebAssembly<->JavaScript transitions. For the latter the same JIT is being used on both sides and there is no need for a GC transition. JNI is also far from as fast as it could be; .NET’s PInvoke is much more efficient (and easier to use).
That seems stronger than what I’m saying. The folks who can’t let it go, who are still trying to circumvent the family’s privacy, they obviously are motivated by something besides concern for the victim and his kin. I don’t have any sympathy for them.

But I think the point I’m trying to make is that there’s a lot of distance between “right to intrude” and “none of your business”. The fact is that the identity of this person was their business, for a decade, simply because it wasn’t the business of anyone else.

Of course there’s no right to know the name of a stranger. But I am glad they made it their business — I’m glad someone cared — and I’m sorry the outcome hurt them. It’s not any more complicated than that.
Happy to answer any questions about AP if people have them, I think it's a really elegant protocol and am really excited about the amount of new projects that are thinking about using it (most notably two instagram-likes in development, and a proposal for federating issues and pull requests for git servers)
This is one of the best reads in a long time. Awesome article and extremely interesting.

I have friends a long time ago that used to buy CoD modded lobbies from these guys. Crazy to see how their lives unfolded.
>That is because we already let immigration happen

It's also because national boundaries tend to be more about resource allocation and political necessity than the preservation of culture or religion. Look at the problems caused by the British Empire carving up the Middle East after World War 1.

Now perhaps you might argue the national borders there should correspond more to local tribal and cultural identity (and maybe they should) but the point is they don't, and they rarely do anywhere.

>And it supports my thesis really well, as this immigration lead to severe problems amongst groups of different cultural backgrounds.

At one time, Americans felt that Irish and Chinese immigrants could never properly integrate... to say nothing about free Africans. Yet all of those groups have been unambiguously integrated.

I work around Indian and Middle Eastern immigrants. Hindus and Muslims. It's remarkable how unremarkable they are given how incompatible "Western culture" is supposed to be to them. There aren't always "severe problems" with immigrants from different cultural backgrounds. Sometimes there are, yes, but it isn't a rule of nature.

>Those groups living clustered together isn't integration but segregation.

Those aren't boolean states. Someone can maintain a connection to their heritage while still being a part of greater society.
Existing JS runtimes actually use shared-memory concurrency a ton, even ignoring the (currently disabled) SharedArrayBuffer. Code generation and garbage collection have at least some concurrent stages on all the major JS engines. JavaScriptCore even exposes this in its API.
The giant crystal cave
I don't think the design should be based on the requirement to use Mockito library and it's not the only and not always the most convenient way to provide a test implementation. So, no, it's not how it should be.
ahh yes, open the borders and import every type of third worlder into western countries for the sake of profiting over cheap labor... Let us forget about the clash in cultures, and how unrestricted immigration leaves the native population in a worse off state by rising housing prices, demographic replacement and stagnant wages. I have experienced first hand the effects of such policies here in California. This article is the equivalent of selling your lung to afford a kidney.

Also as a side note, Why is it that more developed nations have to find solutions for failed states by re-homing the population which voted for those same policies instead of leaving them to fight and improve the conditions in their own countries. Absolute globalist non sense.

> not AWS GovCloud which doesn't allow for safe storage of secret informatio

Sure it does. I think this has a lot more to do with federal data requirements than technical security. E.g. data centers are all so many miles apart.

$78T for 8G humans are roughly $10,000 per person.

If this is per month then its an interesting idea.
But if this is per year then there is no incentive for the Western citizens to open their borders. Average income is about $30,000 per year right now. If the job market is flooded with workers then there is no way that people will keep on earning that much. Additionally, the housing market will explode and people who rent their homes will have to move.

I wouldn't be surprised if opening all borders would lead to even bigger gains. After all, China's source of income is their huge pool of workers. But I don't think that $78T profits are a good argument to convince the West to open its borders.
What a "news". An organization moves data from computer A to computer B.
