It just won't work.

The middle class doesn't see themselves as net beneficiaries in wealth transfers, so you have to completely rewire their thinking.

Also, roughly 50% of the country isn't interested in any additional taxation, period. They don't care if you try to tell them how they will benefit because they see themselves as the aspiring rich.

Finally, the goal is of this policy is to increase taxation of the top x%. The same people with armies of lobbyists and the majority of politicians (GOP or DFL) already in their pockets. Good luck.

I'm a practical developer who's happy to work at any level of the stack using a variety of different technologies and languages. I'm always eager to learn best practices to produce idiomatic and correct solutions.

I'm happy to embrace the fun challenge of adapting to the given situation. I love to learn different technologies out of a genuine interest in gaining different perspectives on software development, both to help me keep an open mind and to be mindful of the variety of different approaches that can be taken to solve a problem.

Check out my notes on what I've learned: https://www.blaenkdenum.com/notes/
Facebook, Google, Comcast, AT&T and Verizon all donated $200,000 to create a $1m fund to oppose the California Consumer Privacy Act (although Facebook has since withdrawn its opposition)

i was surprised to see this since big tech companies and their employees are a cash cow for the state of California. makes me wonder if, because of all the heat and backlash directed to FB for the 2016 election results, what we're seeing is a real sea change in California politics.

or maybe just the appearance of a sea change. the state (and political campaigns) still need that big-tech cash...
Hi,

I'm the author of emailthreads, mentionned in the article. I believe the library is already able to do something pretty close to what you want. See for example this output: https://github.com/emersion/python-emailthreads/blob/master/... (you can find source messages in the parent directory)

The goal is to eventually build a web UI around this library.

[0] well, okay, the latter is for .NET rather than Windows per se.
The web is a complex platform, so it's definitely not hard to wind up using some feature that performs well in one browser but poorly in another. I don't know that it necessarily reflects badly on any individual browser--software is complex and it's hard to determine what combinations of web features will wind up being widely used. I do think it's a shame when this happens because sites don't get tested in anything but Chrome. There's no excuse when large companies release webapps and don't test in multiple browsers.

Facebook reportedly to buy UK AI firm to help fight fake news
I am a Data Science Engineer at an optical sensors company (mostly ML applied to computer vision applications). Most of my career has involved interfacing with hardware for data acquisition and programming for data analysis (both one-off analysis and the development of institutional analysis tools). Moving from science research (early in my career) to supporting engineering development (past 11 years), my development tools have naturally changed. I have been programming in Python on Linux systems for the past ~6 years (with some C, C++ development as required).

I have enjoyed my experience working 20% remote and now seek the opportunity to work full-time remote.

The usual argument given for wanting programs to halt is that if you can't solve the halting problem for your language you can't prove anything, so we want languages where we can prove things.

But you don't have to have programs halt to solve that. It is a perfectly valid solution to the halting problem that all your event handlers halt and your mainloop doesn't halt (or only halts on receipt of a signal, and never on receipt of a request, or something). And then you have your ability to prove things back.
I think the parent means that something like "flipping burgers" or "mopping the floor" will still need to be done - but it will not pay enough to sustain a person, or that it will cost more than the value received for the service.
Unfortunately, if you have "only" a 3.8 good luck transferring. I looked into it my freshman year (I had a 3.89 :/) but getting into any of the top-tier schools is even more difficult as a transfer than out of high school, especially since I hadn't started a company or done cutting edge research yet.

Unfortunately, my school is going to resonate (poorly) throughout my career now.

Is there a site or book out there that talks about these common pitfalls? I work in C89 so K&R C does seem pretty simple to me. I clearly haven't worked with it long enough to spot these things, or I have code in the wild that unknowingly is victim to these issues and I've yet to stumble on it.

Tl;DR? My problem with code review over email is that keeping track of all commentary and metadata is difficult when reviewing over email. This seems like a solvable problem with a text format for interleaving source and commentary that is suitable for post-processing, particularly one that makes merging commentary easy, and preferably too that makes changing commentary metadata (e.g., comment accepted/deferred/rejected/addressed status) possible while retaining the ability to merge commentary.

The standard model 3 that you refer to, which has a range of 350 km can barely be considered a long range EV, and it is actually not being produced yet. Tesla has only produced the more expensive version with a 510 km range.

Renault Zoe has a range of 240 km
Chevrolet Bolt has a range of 380 km.

So none of them compares to the Model 3 actually produced.
I don't think Apple cares enough about a line of products that make us less than 10% of their CPU line to go through the engineering effort to create ARM based laptops.

I think it's more likely that Apple will make iOS more flexible on the iPad and make it a true laptop alternative.

The problem with low heat is that the pizza doesn't rise properly and the pizza needs to stay in the over for longer which makes the crust dry out. If you have a good oven and a pizza stone then you might be able to do it, but most people don't have that. My oven maxes out at 200 even though it claims to do 230.

You can still use a bug tracker with an email-based workflow. Many GNU projects use debbugs.gnu.org, which helps to keep track of patches that have been sent to the mailing list.

I can see how it would be inconvenient for people who use an inflexible email client or editor, though. (I'm trying to make this workflow a little less intimidating for Guix by working on a more convenient web interface on top of debbugs.)
> In the engineering/academic world, grades do matter and are highly predictive of ability. People with poorer grades often struggle a lot.

This is a purely empirical question to which you seem to have simply assumed an answer. While there are difficulties to studying this question empirically there have been solid studies to this effect.

I've seen a few solid survey papers on personnel selection methods; a solid example is Schmidt and Hunter (1998). Schmidt and a couple of others published an updated version of the survey as a working paper in 2016[1], which has a clear section on GPA:

> The validity value for grade point average (GPA) in Table 1 is for college and graduate level grade point averages. No estimates are available for high school grade point average, which may have validity higher than the .34 in Table 1. Apparently most of the validity of GPA is captured by GMA, because the incremental validity of GPA is negligible (less than .01). GPA has not been studied in relation to training performance, where its validity might be expected to be higher than the .34 for job performance, because of the strong resemblance between training programs and classroom demands.

(GMA in this context is a "general mental ability test"—basically an IQ test.)

This observation does not lend much credence to the idea that grades are "highly predictive of ability" or that people with low grades "often struggle a lot".

That a myth; Geekbench results aren't comparable cross-platform.
I'm aware on both counts--I was more looking at it from the standpoint of common acceptance. Cassandra was first released in 2008 and became pretty manageable not too long after that. OWA was 1998 and GMail was 2004, but the tools were pretty grungy and hard to get into for awhile. I'd say that they didn't become really legitimately decent until Backbone (late 2010), but there were workable ones for a couple years before that.
It's more secure due to automatic address space layout randomization. In fact, it's both space layout and space content randomization-- each application/kernel is unique.
I always get confused and just use one or the other. Conveniently it doesn't really matter because everyone understands me when I use any of the above in Australia.
It's not dead, it's just a hyper-consolidated monopoly at this point. Google ad revenue is up 20% [0]. I have the strong feeling they will continue on as usual, and pay whatever slap on the wrist that GDPR might impose. Even a multi-billion dollar fine would be a meaningless cost of business to them.

Where I work, one of the benefits of Clojure is precisely how concise and accessible storing densely layered business logic is. We're able to have a faith that the code does what it looks like that just isn't approachable in any other language I know of.
I dunno about prescriptive, but in React the use of `react-router` and `history.push` certainly seem to tick the boxes in my use cases.

Introduction to Docker and Docker Toolbox
High-tech deception of ‘deepfake’ videos
I've written many distributed systems in Go for scalability reasons and more recently have been working on micro, an open source toolkit to help others do this https://github.com/micro/micro. The core of which starts with go-micro, an RPC framework for building cloud-native applications https://github.com/micro/go-micro.

Building systems that scale is not an easy task. Go lends itself very well to this task but at the same time there's more required than just the language. The communities belief in libraries rather than frameworks actually hinders this progress for others. Hopefully other tools like my own will emerge that sway people towards the framework approach.
