Yep. Modern yards today are pretty efficient affairs and are designed for safety from the ground up.

Fundamentally different designs then and now as they aren’t trying to load boxcars and instead transload containers.
One more benefit they had with the mine was that they knew where it was and had it mapped. As far as I know no-one knows where to drill above ground to get to the chamber.
There's a site that I've been following on which the author regularly uploads transcriptions into various Gregg versions, including simplified -- https://gregg-shorthand.com/?tag=readingmaterial+simplified

I'm still early in learning, so I'm not sure how much it helps, but I've heard that regularly reading material written in Gregg that you don't know beforehand is the fastest way to increase your reading speed.

Also just a note that the IPO is to sell a fraction of the company, not the whole thing. So this allows the investors to monetize part of their investment, while retaining some.

Surprisingly (to me), I do use a lot of muscle memory with my Tesla UI: some of the most important controls are positions near corners and I hit them purely by feeling for the corners. So it's not as bad as you might think.

Re. screen sucking the battery dry, you might consider the energy needed to keep the car moving which complete dwarfs the few watts the screen takes. It's a complete nonissue.

No but I'd be 3 million dollars richer, which is a fair trade off.
More specifically: Juggalos figured out how to beat facial recognition tech trained on normal faces and trying to recognize normal faces.

While the black and white paint does seem to negate a lot of natural contrast human faces have – and on which the recognition of faces is currently based – there seems a lot of information left to recognize specific faces, especially when considering stereovision or even possible pulsed laser reflection / LIDAR based solutions (think long-range iPhone X sensor).

Even if the recognition of an individual within a database of millions yields too many false positives, the set can be further refined by considering other subject metadata, say geolocation or social connections.

While considering this, it's still important to not succumb to privacy nihilism. Not everything is lost, but it's hard to practice that when 'beating' facial recognition tech means "looking like a fucking juggalo" [1].

I always remember this write-up from the original author of GNU grep: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-Aug.... "The key to making programs fast is to make them do practically nothing. ;-)"
Seeing as "turning the internet into shit" is a highly subjective statement, I wouldn't go around claiming that it's a fact.
The mainstream US media discourse on this is dishonest too, to say the least. Remember Politifact's 2012 lie of the year, the Romney campaign's claim that Chrysler was moving Jeep production to China? After it turned out that Chrysler was in fact setting up a Jeep factory in China, pretty much the entire US media insisted that the claim was still a lie because they were only building Jeeps there because of tariffs, as though those tariffs were some inevitable fact of life rather than an example of Chinese protectionism.
‘My daring grandfather took a bit of East Berlin for himself’
Not to deny that immigration was a major part, but the belief is more important than reality for both that and sovereignty. Yes, the UK had a great deal with loads of opt-outs, but that didn’t stop the papers blaming the EU for everything — including immigration, which was mostly non-EU.
I’ve lived places with homestead exemptions and it seems like a good compromise. As it stands today, Prop13 is essentially a wealth transfer from new homeowners to old ones.

If you find the video where they make first contact you can see one of the divers has a reel that will have had a line attached, and they discuss how to secure it.

I'd rather stick to plain SVG for the animation part, in case ECMAScript is stripped from the SVG for security reasons. ECMAScript might be worth adding for additional features though (play/pause, progress bar, frame seeking...)
> Eliminating demonstrated interest seems to go against the whole Carnegie Mellon ethos. After all the motto is "My heart is in the work."

"Demonstrated interest" is a term of art in college admissions that refers to "demonstrated interest in attending a particular school". Things like "I interviewed with a CMU alum", "I sent letters to the admissions department about how much I <3 CMU", etc. (All of these are in TFA.)

It doesn't refer to "demonstrated interest in STEM." TFA is not talking about ignoring demonstrated passion in STEM.

I'd imagine a lot of the rural towns across middle America offering really large subsidies to build data centers that only employ 50 people probably don't see a return on their investment. [1] The city might be able to stimulate the local construction companies with some good business but the 50 employees aren't going to make up for the $250MM subsidy.

Sure, but you are also forgetting the fact the DRAM industry was in glut and they suffered huge loss leading up to the point. Was it Cartels intend to drive the price so low that they would be almost out of business too?
There’s no insurmountable conflict between stability and efficiency. Just as landlords offer 10-year leases to commercial tenants who desire stability, the government can offer 10-year (or longer) insurance products against the risk of increased land value.
FWIW, I've had the opposite experience. In the one office I've been at that had this, it was a really nice experience.

It was cool to break daily bread with the CEO. It probably was one of the keys to avoid having org-chart hierarchy become social hierarchy.

There's also this artificial distinction between the uninstalled and the installed form of the same software. Once you have installed it, it is married into a system that makes it very hard to get it out of the running system again and transfer it to another system (unless you kept the debs or hope that they are still online in some repo).

A better system is one in which the archive/installer and the installed instance of a software is one and the same. Such as a Mac .app bundle or an AppImage for Linux.
Right, I wasn't really serious but it would be interesting to know what the details of the deal are. I'd prefer if we used something other than Amex since it's definitely not universally accepted. Based on the other comments it must be the level of service.

Gotcha. Yeah, the dev kits on some of those are a bit pricey (2k and up).

Coming from an industrial use-case, I personally really liked the Realwear HMT-1 — it performs like a champ, is surprisingly comfortable, is available as intrinsically safe, and has an easy-to-work-with team behind the scenes.

Would strongly consider skipping Glass EE, depending on what you want to do.
By the numbers, Silicon Valley does a lot better than those. Annual average ROI for Google over the last 10 years has been 21%; for Facebook, 86%; for AirBnB, almost 170%. Initial capital costs in each of these cases were nearly zero. Employment impact: tens of thousands of new millionaires created.

The human costs of factories are not nil either. Beijing is a polluted wasteland where if you wipe your nose it comes away black. Silicon Valley is still dealing with the toxic wastes from the last generation of industrial powerhouses, the semiconductor companies that dumped toxic waste straight into the ground. I would far rather waste 5 years of my life on the latest software fad than have 30 years of my life shaved off by cancer.

Don't romanticize the past. The average professional in Silicon Valley enjoys a standard of living much, much higher than the average factory worker in Shenzhen, or in Cleveland for that matter.
Thanks for your thoughts- yes you seem to have grokked the point of my article. It's as much an exhortation for the Bitcoin community to build the vision of the world it wants, not to blindly assume it will arrive!

I genuinely thought I'd been pretty clear, so that question seems like you're trying an unhelpful "gotcha" instead of reading what I wrote.

I'm saying that Trump's "aggressive trade policy" (senseless surprise tarrifs) was the impetus for this particular action (senseless surprise import ban). Absent that, the IP theft would have continued quietly (as it always has, everywhere) and the destabilizing trade war wouldn't be happening.

You seem to be taking an absolutist perspective: IP theft[1] must not ever be tolerated and any action to prevent it, however destabilizing, must be taken. And that's how you get trade wars (real wars too, FWIW). This was a nice modern economy we had while it lasted.

Yes, the limit on increase of assessed value helps the elderly. All the other property investors (such as grandchildren and corporations) are just happy to reap the benefits. In other words, the design does not target the elderly.
this is interesting, because if i didn't read your commentary, these examples seem to favor f#. :)

what are your objections? what is the dense symbology?

discriminated unions (what the CLIArguments is) are very simple to define and understand. the usage member nearly uses the simplest possible pattern matching available. pattern matching is a staple of functional languages. it's a case statement in its simplest use but is so much more in general.

these two things are the bread and butter of f#. they may take a modicum more initial effort than simple function calls, but it pays off in readability and expandability. it seems python takes the easy route. it makes things apparently simple at first but difficult in the long run.

i know both languages, to a degree, and find the python hard to read. it's also faking types, which is kind of funny. the f# code is fully typed.

lines of code is meaningless to me here because the f# has better delineation of concepts here.

and lastly, there's actually no reason why you couldn't write an f# library to behave like the python one here. that is not true the other way around. that's the power of f#'s multi-paradigm nature.
Correction, in my previous reply I meant to say that the Safari version of Stylish (not stylus) has a different developer and doesn’t appear to share the Chrome/Firefox extension’s tracking issues.

The code for the safari version is available here:
https://github.com/350d/stylish

With a quick glance it looks to include google analytics, but that’s only used on the extension’s settings page and doesn’t send browser history or anything like that. JS isn’t my forte, though, so if anybody else could take a look and confirm that’d be great.

There are plenty of people of poor and ailing health, who don’t even have an option to do that, because they are paying high rents due to policies that protect homeowners’ profit.

I don’t want to kick anyone out of the area, but I don’t think people who made a million of dollars (in the example above) are the ones who need the protection the most.
Note that the article states:

> Narongsak explained that the divers had fixed rope lines along the passageway and distributed oxygen tanks along their route, allowing them to advance through the exceptionally narrow passageway unencumbered by bulky equipment.

The (extremely skilled) divers aren't wearing tanks due to how narrow some parts of the passage are. Using a thruster in a cramped environment is not a silver bullet.
Well, you can arrange the test so checking often is not a problem. It may even be the optimal way.

But yes, statistics is not obvious at all.
I eagerly read the first 3 books without ever considering abandoning any of them and I subscribe to the yank-the-bandage approach to dropping books if not interesting within 20 pages or, towards the end, abandoning if I find myself skimming or skipping pages. With these, it never happened.

When I read the 4th book, however, A Dance with Dragons, I kept reading far longer than I would any other book, hoping that it would get better and start getting somewhere. It never did. It was a slow motion train wreck. Finally, I threw in the towel and dropped it with no desire to ever go back and finish it or the 5th book. It did strengthen my resolve to drop bad books early even if prior books by the author were great reads.

The two are one and the same thing, I'd wager. The act of translating abstract thought processes into physical action (whether that's speaking or just pointing) forces you to examine it in a different way, just in order to make it concrete enough to express.
> Yet another example of the surprisingly poor living quality in the USA in aggregate terms relative to GDP. The USA is great if you're rich and is mediocre if you're everyone else.

Right? The arguments I have is that there a “meeting rooms” for conversations, to which I say: there are hundreds of employees and 5 such rooms. If they’re for conversation they should be limited to maybe 30 minute stints, and cannot be functionally boomed for longer.

Of course again the purpose is to denigrate the employees who actually do work, rather than to be a better work environment.

Not a complete response to your question, but at least it is very common for families to to have both parents working part time (eg. four days each) and pay for childcare only for the remaining days. In countries where it's more common to have one full time salary in a family, the average working time per worker would be higher.

There are still some court reporters in the US using Gregg shorthand, and are able to record at over 200 words per minute. [1]

Modern" shorthand is really largely the same as shorthand as done in the early 20th century though. Gregg and Pitman are both phonetical, so there's really nothing particularly special about modern language that doesn't apply, other than that there may not be brief forms for words such as "cell phone" or "computer", but they could be created, though all it'd do if you don't is slow down your top speed. They're still not ultra-common words though.

This is entirely orthogonal to concern over privacy though, because it requires advance consent even for things which could be "fair use" or some equivalent, and the guidance is for the courts to file if they are pretty sure they see a violation.

I wonder how much of a pay cut the average programmer would accept for different working conditions?

Somewhere else on this page is a comment from me that I'd take $20K/year less for an office with a door. I got my wish. There are other aspects to the job that make it appealing (short commute, laid back atmosphere, etc.), but if it were open office, I wouldn't have taken the job for the money it pays.
Federal politicans don't care about other state's problems; and certainly don't typically want to restrict their own state legislature's powers. You're better off going the Uniform States Code route, as demonstrated by UCC. Publish a recommended law, then lobby state governments to adopt it. Maybe using a 'when 30 other states also ratify it' language similar to the NPVIC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...

The chief problem here is convincing states that cities poaching their neighbor's businesses is harmful.

I added a hardware switch to my x230 camera (I had it opened up anyway to do the FHD mod so I figured why not). It switches the power line of the internal USB port that the camera connects to. I placed a subminiature slide switch next to the camera, cut a notch in the casing, cut the supply trace between the camera's connector and filter capacitor, and soldered wires to the switch to either side of the cut trace. Then I drilled two 0.5mm deep holes with a drill bit held by hand for the bumps of the switch to sit in, and glued it in place. Works fine. I added a touch of glitter paint to one side of the switch slider so it's glittery when the camera has power. I haven't got around to doing the same for the mic.

I've actually seen this in practice, someone wanted their code merged before they would even consider working on the issues pointed out in the code review because they didn't want to waste their time on fixing up the code without an ironclad guarantee that it would be merged. The devs didn't want to merge a "code bomb" and then either have to scramble fix it themselves or yank it out when release time came around so the whole thing just turned into a time sink for everyone involved.
There's still time.
