It absolutely isn't. The funny part is, for the past 12+ years voices predicting an economic collapse of China have gotten stronger and stronger, but it just doesn't happen. Every time they passed some magic number in some statistic it was all "zomg collapse is imminent!"

I guess with a government like they have you have greater possibilities to cover up and postpone the effects, but who knows how this will manifest. I'm hesitant to believe any current scenarios painted by western "experts" because they have basically been wrong for the past decade, but every time they're like "but this time it's for real!"
Thank you for the warm words, I guess the reason is my occupation plus the fact that I just spend my last few weeks watching many games with family and friends.

> I'm not sure what you mean with the last one, but I think this could be a nice one - if you mean "times you lost possession in your own half"

Almost, England lost the ball frequently (> 50+x% with a large x AFAI could see) due to the keeper sending out long balls. I'd like to measure that somehow. Could be done via number of seconds in possession after a goal kick, an indicator whether a hypothetical 85% marker of the field was reached or measuring whether the ball was at least 5x successfully passed (or resulted in a goal).
I wrote a similar article a while ago, explaining also which sizes work best on retina displays and how to generate all the necessary images easily -> https://www.codecamps.com/responsive-images/

It helped to increase the Google's PageSpeed Insights rating from 56/100 up to 99/100.
I guess it depends on if you think a computation is a manipulation of symbols. The sort of physical processes involved in a piano making sound are not symbolic manipulations, and being modelable through symbolic manipulations, or giving the same results (at whatever level of abstraction) as a symbolic manipulation, is not the same as being a symbolic manipulation.
I suppose this can be done with row-based security if you are willing to mirror/maintain this in Postgres and/or fork the query engine to issue them under the right roles. There was a talk at PG Day UK 2018 about this but there are no performance benchmarking results available AFAIK.

As to triggers, you can totally do this with event sourcing in triggers, so when something is modified you write a row to the audit table, and you use another process to read from it and do the right thing, etc.
Why conquer when you can invest? They're investing. It's working. We're happy to have chinese investment in all spaces, ag, and mining, we buy the goods and we sell the dairy produce.

The real threat is Tasmania: haven't you seen the wargames maps? We need those US-Chinese troops to fight back against the daemon armies from cradle mountain.

This is such a great typo. I'm going to keep this sentence next time I need to explain webpack in my trainings.
Broadly, constant borrowing is sustainable, just look at any European economy. As long as your tax base grows faster than your interest payments there’s no unavoidable problem.

This? It’s not sustainable. Sooner or later this will result in a correction. This could range from aggressive budgetary measures, an internal crisis all the way to China monetising its overseas investments (which are extremely extensive).
China is (officially) growing at ~7% per year right now, so adding $700 billion to their debt pile barely changes the debt/GDP ratio, it might even still fall but I'd have to check the exact figures.
As it happened, "reasonable height" was defined by town ordinance to be 12" or less. With sufficient rain, towards the end of summer, the grass could grow 2-3" per day.

I never tried to stop other plants from growing. The grass kept itself a monoculture through sheer density. I have never seen its like since I moved away.
You prove it in court just like any other employment discrimination case. The law doesn't need to catch 100% of lawbreakers to work effectively.
I would have to say I disagree. I think that things like Patreon and Kickstarter are tech that can help solve this problem. It will take some user behavior modification but I'd rather pay directly to the content creator than give Apple or Amazon 30% or more.

Your son is wrong. Android is currently way more popular than iphone according to a quick google search:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/266136/global-market-sha...

The numbers are even better for android in the third world (because its cheaper), important as its an emerging market.

Trying to call android or iphone now, is like calling the landline the future of communications in the 1980's. In the long run it wont be android or iphone, it will be some yet to be invented tech. This is the tech your high school son needs to learn, not iphone apps.

Base your predictions on statistics not speculation.
I have been made aware further down that I might have confused unit and integration tests a bit. Sorry about that. In Symfony code, the two co-exist and look somewhat similar. Maybe that's why I don't really differentiate them.
> Just because you shouldn't does mean you're not free - freedom from consequences isn't the same as freedom of action.

That exactly defines why you are not free to do it. - let's reword that sentence and test again -

"Just because you shouldn't murder someone doesnt mean you are not free, freedom from consequences isn't the same as freedom of action."
China's GDP is probably 10% of what they reported.
SAP was, and will always stay, a mystery to me.

It is ridiculously expensive and complex. I know that the problems it aims to solve are also highly complex and very specific, but reading stories like this, plus (if you live in Germany and work in the IT industry) sometimes hearing unbelievable stories from your peers, it always confuses me that companies still want so much SAP.

In the late 90s/early 00s a lot of people had seemingly infinite trust in IBM. Maybe the same logic applies here as well.
After reading a bit about it, I think the hypothesis is more that Alzheimer’s is the side effect of the body’s own anti-viral systems acting to contain viruses in the brain.

Most of the latest studies are showing a reduction in Alzheimer’s risk after treating patients who have some form of herpes with anti-viral medication.
So who's buying all that debt?

This should not be downvoted, this is a part of shared American history, and there are terror watch lists and no fly lists to this day.
Just as an example:

We have that here (Netherlands). You are under no circumstances allowed to not hire someone because of past failures if the statue if limitation has expired or the sentence has been served. There might be restrictions on what you can do after you have served, but it is not up to the company to judge on this. This is one of the reasons the "right to be forgotten" exists.

You can however request a "VOG" (translation something like: "Confirmation of good behavior") in which a company (or volunteer organisation for instance) asks for very specific cases like "Allowed to work with children" or "Can have access to privileged data like personal data or medical". The request is handled by the government. You get a response like "No comment" if there is no problem or "Not granted" if you fail. This avoids the problem of having people judge your exact misdemeanors/behavior in the past and leaves it out of a private companies hands and allows the right to be forgotten to exist.

You can also request it and let the person reject the request on legal grounds, but this usually gets you into more problems than you would like.

There is one "but". For higher security clearances (like for working for the state department equivalent) they are allowed to look further back and are allowed to view data from further back and do proper background checks forcing specific issues to come to the light of day. But that check is way more complex than a simple "VOG".
If you run a platform and its algorithms can be gamed by “partners” for profit at your’s or the user’s expense you should expect that it is or will be gamed. An important part of designing tech products that scale is sitting down and anticipating all the various ways you are incentivizing cheating and gaming, and then closing the holes as bugs. It’s like doing a security audit, with the attackers being your partners rather than hackers.

It’s best to fix the gaming via technical means, but if you can’t, it’s still important to spell out unacceptable behavior in the terms of use. Even if it’s something you can’t enforce at scale (for instance: enforcement requires manual review by humans) you still need the policy so you can do one-off enforcements against egregious cases. Otherwise you sit around in these meetings going, “well we know they are gaming the system but we can’t do anything about it because it’s not against the rules!”
It's amazing how commentators here just cannot accept the US as anything other than a source of evil. The US has been doing environmentalism since Europe was busy dividing up Africa.
In 2016, Mattel/Barbie ran (or still runs?) a "Barbie Spy Squad" series of toys and merchandising complete with movie and McDonald's promos, so while rather late (and obv better than never), the toy manufacturers are at least aware of the market segment.
I like a surprising number of them. I’m surprised to see Demons mentioned; that’s been my favorite of his for over 5 years.

So I don’t like his platform, but he has some excellent taste in books.
Well, if you want stand-alone + sci-fi, try "the Dark Side of the Sun".

Otherwise, you can pick up any first book from one of the Discworld story arks. Personally, I'd go with "Wyrd Sisters" (witches story ark) and the City Watch story ark. Although the first book in that series is "Guards! Guards!", I'd recommend starting with the Second book, "Men at Arms", which is more representative of the rest of the series, and just more fun AFAIC.
> Predicting the result of an A or B contest the bar is already defined.

I disagree: If team A has a 10-30% chance of winning, and A pulls off the upset, the correct answer was not "A Wins" it was "B has a 70-90% chance of winning".

For Goldman Sachs' investments, the bar is not to predict that A wins or that B wins, it's to predict the probability and variance regarding which team will win. Of course, from a single upset game, it's impossible to tell whether these estimates are correct. You'd need to see the success or failure of many trials.
Notepad++ might be your friend in this situation. It auto saves the doc (even if you haven’t ‘saved’ it yourself)
One issue that could be addressed internally is the number of state representatives and the city/rural allocation.
From my understanding California still has the same number of state representatives(from when it was admitted to the US)

So a city will have like 12 and the millions of acres around it will only have 1. I think this is a general problem(under-representation) in the US e.g. The House but California is even more clear example of it.
Studies will also be suspended if it becomes clear that one treatment is so obviously better as to be unethical to continue with the other.
This is so unacceptable yet happens so often. Here in the Netherlands the government has several projects that failed with costs amounting to hundreds of millions. For sums as these any Organisation can just setup a more capable development company that could handle all of the internal projects and its developers could be top of the line.

I like writing C++ just fine, but managing dependencies drove me crazy. Am I missing something there? When I want to do something simple like import an HTTP lib and make some requests it always feels like a hassle and half the time I get some weird linker error.
Glitch art makers are a fairly well-established subculture.[0] [1]. My direct familiarity with Glitch art is a commercial app by same name of Glitché.

While the Glitch art subculture seems to have faded from the zeitgeist a bit, Glitch art generates aesthetically satisfying works from "unintentional" data processing errors and in some ways is analogous to what software programmers do when building non-glitchy works.

China is still a developing nation.

That means that China can invest in infrastructure (roads, trains, airports, education) which have high real return making the increase in debt much less of a problem. This is also the reason why China has grown persistently 7-10% over the past two decades compared to USA which have grown 2-3% in the same period.

Per person China's GDP is less than a fifth of the US hinting that this still has some way to go.
My model is basic, but at $1200/day per consultant, with 100 consultants, that's still about 4160 days, or about 11 years. Not what I would consider fast.

> Software from the Walldorf-based software company SAP was to be adapted to the needs of Lidl. So far, however, the new system has only been introduced in the small agencies in Austria, Northern Ireland and the USA. It has been shown that the SAP version developed by over one hundred IT specialists is not suitable for high-turnover countries.

I realize these words are not directly from the company and I am reading them through Google translate, but I do think they accurately reflect what makes these implementations work or not. If you are getting into SAP and "adapting it to your needs" then you will almost certainly fail.

Scenario: I am implementing SAP's invoice approval workflow in a company that already has an invoice approval workflow that a former CFO designed quickly after a problem a few years earlier. Its worked fine.

Companies who are successful implementing SAP: "I mean SAP's workflow makes sense, is already implemented, works for much larger companies, and has no bearing on our core business, so lets just switch to that.

Companies who fail at implementing SAP: "Lets hire some consultants to adapt SAP to our needs"

Source: I did process flows in preparation for SAP implementations in the late 2000s.
There is a reason we use this terrible tool: it's the only one that does everything it does.

That doesn't make it good.

It's like JS itself: it's a horrible language, but it's the only one that runs natively all popular web browsers.

When you have a monopoly, you don't need to be good. You just need to be here.
I think the hard part here is not language design, it’s implementation of the runtime.

Linux is especially problematic, asynchronous IO has arrived late, years later than IOCP and kqueue. It took multiple kernel versions to make it usable, and still the APIs are questionable, e.g. files and sockets use different ones.

Even MS failed to do it right, see a bug I found: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/25066

I like C#. I spent a year-ish writing a lot of it and it felt like we produced easy to understand and maintain code. I think the MS/Linux divide is probably the biggest reason more people don’t use it.
Using services from big name companies is (half) the corporate world version of an expensive fashion item/fancy car and half "wanting someone to sue in case things go wrong".

Except an expensive fashion item doesn't ruin your ability to do your job and is still probably cheaper in relative scales.

I've taken the train across china from Hangzhou to Beijing and there is no lack of living space, or empty housing from the speculative bubble. The threat of south-irian is basically the classic yellow-peril threat model.

Its a really bad argument. As long as we are happy to export tertiary education and then proffer immigration channels, there is no basis to argue the Chinese polity wants to invade: it can get people here legally, for good benefit both sides.

Pleae, don't feed the racist troll. The chinese are not swamping us and they cannot cause earthquakes by jumping up and down at the same time.

The issue is not to repeat the experiments, but rather to avoid putting the logs in the wheels of people who want to re-analyze your existing data (including yourself a couple of years later) and avoid losing thousands of working hours doing forensic data analysis to point out shitty science. Keith's Baggerly 2010 talk on the hoops he had to jump through to get to Anil Potti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Potti) is a great demo of the application case: https://youtu.be/7gYIs7uYbMo.

And as for "doing real science" vs. trying to make it more reproducible, there is an excellent analogy with "doing real programming" (aka adding features) vs. refactoring and architectural adjustments. Telling that you consider the second as a waste of time tells more about yourself than about the subject.

That's not true, 23andme tests the APOE gene (and possibly some others too) which does indeed have a large affect on the risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Although having the good version of APOE doesn't mean you'll never get it, and having the bad version doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get it. The odds do shift quite a bit, though.
Apparently the facebook team (and others in production I'm guessing) addresses some of this by only having a whitelisted set of queries in production. So you get the GraphQL flexibility during development, but a effectively a static set of APIs in production.
Looks like a fun project. :)

I think facebook has easily proven that the anonymity part of that equation is _very_ optional.
But the circumvention can use any domain and switch repeatedly, or dump lots of them using various techniques and randomly select. It doesn't need to be the case that domain Y is static.

In particular, note that encrypted SNI could just be blocked at the network level, thus forcing fallback to regular old TLS. But domain fronting can't be blocked like that.

Technically not if packages are just the misguided habit of "one package per function" seen in the Node ecosystem. Same amount of code, increased amount of complexity/meta-problems to deal with.
This specific case, though, is totally acceptable : Lidl is a company in a market with great opportunities for competition. If this decision was a waste of money, a smaller , SAPless company can come and eat their lunch.

The Dutch government is a very different story. Until we have a few parallel governments between which we can easily choose , without having to uproot our entire lives, it is a pathetic waste of tax payer money. I dream sweet dreams of accountability and proper incentive structures for government and public servants.

I sort of had a did.txt for 3 years, updated quite often during my working hours (at least once a day, if I were super busy, to dump all my daily activities and notes). It was quite useful for standup meetings and such. It is a pretty gigantic did.txt now, and in 3 years can you guess how many times I needed the info sitting there? Zero... go figure :-(
Is there such a thing as AGI really though instead of collections of modules that are trained and may have no meaningful mode of interaction? What does NLP have to do with the mathematics of financial trading?

AGI has always felt to me as a large scale interdisciplinary/intercomputational activity, much in the same way that most human intelligence derived from years of intergenerational and interpersonal intellectual development.

AGI will never be one but many: many intelligences and systems interacting to produce something of utlitarian value.

Correct, as humans evolved, parasitic infections increased. The APOE gene was a method of slowing down or stopping parastic infection to the brain.

"Among the Tsimane as a whole, adults with APOE4 got poorer scores in these tests. But when the team focused on the people with high parasite levels, they saw that the APOE4 carriers had better mental skills, even outperforming APOE3 carriers who were parasite-free."
