A lot of people consider Starship Troopers to be pro-military (the US military itself has it on the recommended reading list for the enlisted). Heinlen's background and the situation surrounding the writing of the book also suggests it would be pro-military.

I'm curious as to what would make you think otherwise?

By my count, the USA is at step 8 of the ten steps of genocide.

Or if you want, check the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court:

Article 6

Genocide

For the purpose of this Statute, ‘genocide’ means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Also note who signed the letter about the US not being part of said Rome Statute: https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2002/9968.htm Bolton was appointed on March 22, the disastrous zero tolerance memo came out on April 6 and I have a horrible feeling of Bolton reminding Trump and Sessions they can't be hauled to The Hague for committing a crime against humanity because the USA is not part of the ICC -- who would know this better?
The traditional American dream is that you change your status through making friends and simple hard work. If you're the hardest working and most dedicated Walmart sales associate, you'll quickly become a manager, and you can iterate on that at least until you're a regional director or something.

From that perspective, it's weird to look in on a typical Silicon Valley company, where it's understood that only people with specific technical knowledge are qualified to make important decisions. And it's downright scary to look at Uber, where the drivers have no internal mobility even in theory.

I like using tools like Apache Drill for the schemaless use case. I apply that in use cases where you’re dropping files with maybe similar schemes into a folder and doing exploratory analysis on the way to a structured solution, or for quick throwaways, or even for data integration ELT type solutions, as you mentioned. This use case works well with data vault-like architecture (or “data lakes”).

Actually, anything that can read and perform a SQL query against a standards based file in a file system (e.g. CSV, JSON, Parquet, etc. on HDFS or regular FS). Apache Hive, PrestoDB, Spark, or even some RDBMS which support Foreign Data Wrappers can do this, although some of those require a schema to be specified for querying even if the underlying files can be of different schemas. Drill doesn’t have that limitation and can literally query without metadata. Schema / data types matter so true schemaless can be difficult unless you manually map data types, but it has a place.

JSON storage is only half the story, the other half is ease of scaling. Scaling Postgres is not simple, and given enough of the right kind of data, I could see why someone might chose MongoDB. But for quickly iterating on a schema for a new project, Postgres's JSON support is definitely the best of both worlds.

It's admittedly confusing, but I think I'm still right and that you may be conflating policies about other google services. From your second link, which is specific to Analytics, it says:

> What is the data used for?

> Google uses Google Analytics data to provide the Google Analytics measurement service to customers. Identifiers such as cookies and app instance IDs are used to measure user interactions with a customer’s sites and/or apps, while IP addresses are used to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give the customer a sense of where in the world their users come from.

I'm pretty sure GA data doesn't intermingle with AdWords targeting profiles in a default configuration.
That's an interesting observation. What conditions do you ride in?

I cycle a lot (more than anybody that I know personally except for my brother) and tend do do years with cables and shifters. Cable stretch requires the occasional twist of the tensioners but that's no big deal.

It's difficult to fault veterinarians for not treating unvaccinated horses in locations where hendra is endemic. It's not worth a human life, to provide palliative care to neglected livestock.

Precedent is of little relevance in countries that use civil law (as opposed to common law like the US does) so establishing it sounds somewhat futile.

That may be true, but I suspect you're underestimating the value created by patents. Three examples:

1) Patents enable "benevolent monopolies." Companies that can afford to splurge on fundamental research because they have a revenue source protected by some sort of barrier to entry or network effect. Xerox PARC, for example, created many of the technologies fundamental to modern computing. PARC was bankrolled by Xerox's near-monopoly on copiers, which was enabled by Xerox's patents. PARC's decline closely tracks what happened after the 1975 consent decree in which Xerox was forced to license its patents to Japanese competitors.

2) Patents enable business models that separate design from production. ARM and MIPS, for example, design chips incorporated into designs from myriad manufacturers. How much value has been enabled by proliferation of these IP cores? You may point to things like RISC V, but that only proves the point. RISC V followed 15 years after the first ARM licenses, and has a fraction of the capital backing it. It's a lot harder to raise capital to build designs with the idea that you're going to give away the work product for free.

3) Patents enable technology sharing. Dozens of different companies have technology that is included in DVD, Blu-Ray, 2G/3G/4G, Wi-Fi, etc. Companies contribute the results of very expensive R&D efforts to these openly-published standards because they can ensure they get a cut of the value created by that technology. If they could not, there would be strong incentives to keep that technology secret instead. You might point to the success of web standards in the absence of patent protections. I'd posit that the web is the exception not the rule, and it's an exception that exists because of how easily the web can be monetized with advertising. That monetization strategy is not widely applicable.

If you remember when Mongo first came out, it made a splash with a lot of write focused benchmarks. They were achieved by RAM buffering the writes and then persisting to the disk periodically.

Couch never led in benchmarks and always focused on consistency or both performance and data. That’s not as flashy with the “OMG Benchmarks!” crowd, in my experience at least.

Couch operates entirely over REST last time I checked as well, which makes it a bit clunky for a lot of use cases. Couchbase attempts to be the fast version of Couch and seems to do pretty well.
It's not just hunger. There is a failure on the part of their parents, i.e. by not being prudent and being selfish having kids they can't take care of; but one could argue that it's how "nature designed it" in order to increase genetic variability and a chance for the species to survive by pruning the traits not beneficial in changing environment, which we observe as inhumane deaths of small children. In the "civilized" world, unwanted children are dealt with the way they don't even register on any human statistics.

I don't think it was pro-war at all. But it could certainly be said it was pro upholding a strong military tradition in the concept of a voting population as a form of civil service to earn full citizenship.

And since the only people who would be voting would be the ones who were or had done the dying, it's likely a very strong anti-war book, as one would presume only absolutely necessary wars would ever be fought.

Yes you could see it like that but my thoughts are more we are in one of the many phases the planet goes though and it is part of evolution. I still don't want it to happen any time soon, or at all really, but have an acceptance of our transient time here.
Nop, not because of Elon Musk per se. I would have lost my judgment and go "ad-hominem" if it was another person as well. I just hate the argument "He's just helping for PR, while I seat my ass doing nothing"

to be quite honest I would say this represents a lot of aspects of what's wrong with tech hiring. it's basically an abstract quiz, you're asking people to do random semi-related challenges while a clock ticks down and someone watches over their shoulder. this is basically zero percent representative of what actual coding is like and likely filtered out a few people who would have done well at whatever the actual job you're offering is.

it's not that the questions are too hard, it's that the whole challenge is bogus. if you have to ask these questions, make it a take-home challenge and discuss the implementation with people when they come to the in-person interview. being able to explain the hows and whys of already-written code is much more valuable than being able to write code under pressure, and much closer to what someone would actually be doing at work.

even better would be to figure out what exactly you're looking for in candidates and design the interviews to reflect that. right now it seems like you're looking for people who are good at coding under pressure... is that a normal part of the job? it very well might be, but i doubt it. think more about what you really want from people on a day-to-day basis.

A modern short wheel base recumbent has a similar wheelbase to a conventional 700c road bike. The hill climbing issue is still the subject of some debate; your peak torque is undoubtedly lower (because you can't put your full weight on the pedals) but there's no obvious biomechanical reason for lower power.

Any advantage an upright bike might have in the mountains is completely neutralised by the tremendous aerodynamic advantage of a recumbent. A good lowracer recumbent with a tailbox has about half the drag of a normal racing bike. Worse still, an upright rider gets almost no benefit from drafting a recumbent rider.

If the UCI legalised recumbents, a team using upright bikes wouldn't even finish the first stage of a grand tour within the time cut-off. Any team using recumbents could disappear off the front of the peloton and would be impossible to catch. In a time trial, there's simply no contest - the recumbent riders could demolish the upright riders without breaking a sweat. To neutralise that advantage, races would need to be organised exclusively in the high mountains with no appreciable amount of flat roads.

This doesn't sound correct to me - the derailleur is on the "slack" side of the chain so is never under significant load.

The only load is that required to pull the chain back from the crankset under enough tension to stop it from drooping, which is provided by the spring in the derailleur cage.

All the load in the chain system is between the cassette and the chainrings on the top.

Perhaps a link to the article will reveal more? There's a lot of BS in bike technology, so I'm automatically sceptical!

Main finding of principal components analysis:

"Slightly facetiously we refer to this as the `Axis of UKIP': the extremal positive views are those of people who are Eurosceptic, believe in capital punishment and harsh prison régimes, and oppose immigration. At the other end of the axis people believe in further European integration, the primacy of international law, the benefits of immigration, and so forth.

This axis is identifiably left/right -- people at large positive positions are definitely `right wing' -- but it is not the traditional left/right axis of economics and class division."
In my experience Arch Linux isn't that reliable. I had a few packages which where broken for weeks and I couldn't manage to downgrade them due to the rolling-release nature.

With Fedora there are less feature updates and I can still go back to a previous release. And if I really need the cutting edge, I can cherry-pick packages from Rawhide.

In a situation where “In general, political campaign material in the UK is not regulated, and it is a matter for voters to decide on the basis of such material whether they consider it accurate or not” (The Electoral Commission, 2018) the research also raises the question of whether existing regulatory controls need to be amended. Not only do many voters lack the skills to critically evaluate the information which is being presented, their inherent beliefs and biases clearly influence the way in which they process this information.

Yeah, how about outlawing voting against those who are currently in power? We little people cannot judge the issues anyways. Why not abolish democracy completely since we're all so stupid?
A lot of FUD in this thread here.

Glad to hear you actually hired those that performed best on the test! To often companies serve out tests that are so hard that none of their current developers can solve them and they still don't hire those that can. Yes the test is really hard.

25% of 'samples' in the stddev table show absolutely no difference between Turbo and non-Turbo. Assuming that this line of argument makes sense (it doesn't) that leaves merely 55% of samples that support your case.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, and I'm intensely interested in this issue (I have a feeling that we face very similar issues in our day jobs) -- but I can't see a reasonable way to interpret your data that supports your assertion that Turbo meaningfully increases variance.

There's just not enough data.
All HHMI investigators went to high school as well. The reverse is not true. Getting funding in college through an HHMI fellowship is a terrible predictor of being an HHMI investigator. They are completely independent in their selection and the programs that HHMI for education fund many orders of magnitude more people than their investigator program.
