Wouldn't that have been against contract/illegal (or whatever terminology) ?
A few things helped me. First, I got the Headspace app and bought their guided meditation package for fear of flying. It has a routine that stops you from falling into the self-defeating spiral of anxiety that you get from thinking about flying. Now it seems that they've partnered with some airlines to provide an in-flight audio channel for this guided meditation: https://www.headspace.com/partners/airline-partnerships

The second thing that helped me is telling myself that because of how the plane flies, there is effectively a wall of air underneath it propping it up. This wall of air is buttressed by such a strong force, that it behaves much like an actual solid surface.

Third, specifically for turbulence–I've read that the overwhelming majority of turbulence incidents are extremely routine for flight crew. They are nowhere close to any cause for concern. Whenever we hit turbulence, I tell myself that what we're experiencing is nowhere near the level that would affect our flight in any way.

That said, turbulence is always disturbing and in the moment it's hard to force your brain to accept it. What usually works for me is focusing on others–essentially people-watching. Making human contact in those situations always acts as a stress-reliever.
Broadcasts are great! You can send a lot of content out, and it’s essentially zero marginal cost per additional receiver. Plus, it’s very hard to track behavior of consumers without their explicit consent.

People are most familiar with realtime broadcast audio and video, however I could see something like newsgroups working via a broadcast medium.

One of the most shocking facts about the lower 48 is that it's impossible to get more than 115 miles from a McDonalds.

That's not on a road - that's anywhere in the lower 48.

I always assume nearby a McDonald's would likely be a gas station.

Growing up in Australia and now living in the Yukon this blows my mind. I just drove 35,000 miles from Morocco to Cape Town in South Africa, and there were zero McDonalds that entire time. [1]

The Lower 48 is extremely densely developed!

I have loved some of the Macs I owned, but I don't think that comment was meant as a compliment. It is unfortunate that so many people would rather limp by on 3-5 year old machines rather than paying for what Apple is selling new. The fact that they are able to limp by is better than the alternative — but I count myself among those who couldn't. My MBA gave out last year and I bought an MBP with a compromised keyboard. I wish it weren't so.
But in the case of the commenter I was responding to, they had already gathered a lot of experience through work. This isn't a matter of learning (as they "know" what they have to do), but apparently the solution simply requires such expenditure of time, even for someone who is a professional writer.
It props the price of shares up.
Do be fair, anyone could jump in front of any car with a regular driver and direct it with hand signals. If someone was standing on the road in front of me directing me into another lane I would do it, with or without an orange vest.
This is not an invoice, it's a financial document. Investors who read these are not impressed by fancy fonts or flowery graphics, the numbers on the sheet are the most important thing.
My main reason for client side is to skirt legal troubles that can result from running a web-filtering proxy (not whether it's legal or not, but whether you will be in legal fights). Either way, needs to be as transparent as possible and as usable by the less-tech-savvy as possible.

But that's really all it is, a web server (or an app, or an extension, or a combo) that serves you up the web looking like Craigslist. Would require strongly curated set of "fronts"/"recipes".
I actually replied to the author when she originally posted this a few weeks back asking about this. I’d be curious what the actual legal rights are. It would seem there might be some kind of loophole in this where it’s easy to set up a service that acts on behalf of authors as an agent vending out the papers to whoever wants them. And then of course that seems easily automatable. So essentially you just wind up with an open hosting site for all papers that authors. They just need to upload them and grant permission to perform the service or something like that. (Didn’t get a response though.)
What does this mean for car ownership/insurance companies/auto dealers/mechanics/public transportation/etc?

Has anyone seen a roadmap that includes how other industries are affected(disrupted)?

Should we think hard about selling our cars now before they are de-valued or become more costly to drive?

And there are stories of IBM hardware surviving fires and floods and coming back to life after not much more than a minor cleanup and a reboot. I once personally dealt with an IBM system that got hit by lightning. It crashed and took its own sweet time coming back up but it did come back up, with no special intervention, having only lost a few RS-232 comm cards to the lightning.

Meanwhile, these days you have folks running "start of the art" systems which may just roll over and die for no discernible reason. These may not easily come back up, either, if at all. That's why they have to have so many of them!
Same. I come here to witness what is basically programming magic to me. I'll need a couple of life times before I can become this skilled.
I meant it in the context of the article, where the metaphor was made between a dogshed-builder--a person who can code--and an architect--a person who understands CS and uses it to build things using code.

> and utterly failed to predict that printing massive amounts of money from 2009-2014 would not stimulate economic activity.

No, they didn't. Both the people at the Fed and mainstream economists outside have always pointed out that monetary stimulus is an extremely limited tool.

They may have failed to predict that Congress would be completely asleep at the wheel and neglect fiscal stimulus, but then even had they predicted that there is little they can do about it.
There isn't any compelling reason to favor one person's fiction over another's. We can invoke memetic references to magic mechanisms all day long and accomplish little.

Ah, it seems McCain gave the dossier he received to the FBI in December but the "FBI confidential human source" had already provided the information to them.

Sure, if your content sucks. If you need all that bullshit to stay profitable then perhaps the business isn't really needed at all. "but that is the industry competition for you, everyone does it."

To that, all I can say is perhaps some regulation is required to level the playing field.
Map Esc to jj as gods have intended.
Cash transactions aren't free either. The merchant has to pay for security, transport, and typically suffers some "leakage". Depending on the type of business and location those can end up being even more expensive than payment card fees.
Firstly the wars/fighting our military is currently 'engaged' in is mostly useless. We haven't 'won' a war since ww2.

Carriers are like bases that can easily be deployed as needed. Maybe keep 2 or 3 carriers off the coast not necessarily 'docked', to run maneuvers to keep 'training' up, reserves could come and run ops maybe every few months to stay 'fresh'... Ideally, we'd not need to call any up until WE are under direct imminent threat.

Furthermore, I think a lot of our future wars will be fought with technology, drones, robots, and not need as much military personnel anyways.

Our military budget should be on par with Russia, instead we're equivalent to the next 7 largest militaries combined. There's no need for that much expense (except to pad lobbyist coffers).
If there is no controversy, then there is nothing being said.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. My point is that China is amongst the worst actors in the world. The fact that corruption exists elsewhere doesn't create a moral equivalence.

From a previously mentioned link in this thread [1], Tang's father is a bioengineer professor, which means:

2. The father is knowledgeable in sciences, that means he can orient the learning and use his network

3. The father let his son work in his nanotechnology lab

Not having to use systems such as Yarn/Mesos was a big motivation for us. Faust works well with any existing deployment systems (we currently use supervisor with EC2 instances) you may have and definitely made it easy for teams to start building/deploying apps. Further since Faust is a library, it can work with any existing python projects/tools - we use it both independently and alongside Django.
Yeah, one key question is whether there a loud alarm triggered for human intervention a few seconds before it's necessary or is it relying on the constant awareness of the human. I am skeptical that an acceptable answer is anywhere near being possible.

One question I had is how Robinhood might be doing message passing and persistence. For example, I might have a stream, that creates more messages that needs to processed, and then eventually I would want to persist the "Table" to an actual datastore.
The same thing happened to me. I was fine with flying until my early 30s, when I was on a flight with some terrible turbulence (~5 second sudden drop, enough for passengers to start screaming in terror).

I travel a lot for work, unfortunately. I try to close my eyes and listen to the same music every takeoff, which helps a little.i guess. Never found a solution for bad turbulence mid flight though.
It's also a name collision with a whole bunch of other things. Pretty soon we'll need some namespaces to help distinguish these things, or maybe just context.
Exactly. In one recent case, someone published a paper about an interesting graph centrality metric that I was interested in trying out. Unfortunately, their description in the paper was far too vague to be useful - "implemented as a simple extension of Brandes' algorithm". In attempting to reproduce it, that meant I needed to go read up on the algorithm they extended, and then try to figure out how they actually extended it. In the end, I couldn't actually reproduce the work, and never heard back about the code that the authors used in their published work. That severely degrades the utility of the paper. Yes - the paper does contain some knowledge that they shared with the world, but it was difficult to build upon and replicate since they failed to describe what amounts to the experimental apparatus and setup that was used to obtain the results they published. Unfortunately, this is relatively common in CS (at least, the corners of CS where I work).

Because large acquisitions almost universally turn out to be disasters, whereas stock buybacks at an 18 P/E ratio is a 5.5% return if profits don't grow and higher if they do (which seems likely).
good research but silly hypothesis on the "conclusion". if any money was going from malware advertisers to master134 (the entity hacking wordpress blogs to make them show ads), they would show the "ads" directly without all those middle mans.

more likely the adnetwork and the resellers know very well the traffic and advertisers are malicious. but they are "partners" and want a share of this revenue. probably they even came up with the scheme, and not the bad actors.

adterra flag both the bad sites and bad ad campaigns either explicitly as criminal or via some misleading unique tag that will never be used, save to mark players in this scam.

now malware advertisers pay AdTerra and its resellers like every other advertiser. And adterra shows their ads on the tainted inventory. and pay the "owner" of the inventory, master134.
I could add to that; Watch Air Crash Investigations (also under the name Mayday). It's amazing to learn how everything works and has dual failsafe systems, most crashes result in changes in aviation regulations and/or service bulletins for the airlines.

Then think how many car crashes there are.

Fun fact: on average 2 people die every day in an air crash. Wow... guess how many die in car crashes per day?

Hm, USB-A and SD aren't proprietary, so I guess you're considering them legacy? SD certainly hasn't been replaced, and I've yet to see a memory stick that isn't USB-A. Ditto for hard drives, though I'm sure they exist.

I understand that thickness perhaps knocked out the USB-A, but the same can't be said for SD. And since the ultra-thin keyboard hasn't worked out that well, then perhaps the MBP is a little too thin for its own good?
Conversely, that tube of meat wouldn't become a sausage simply because you put salt on it. There's obviously a lot of nuance involved.
I think the principle of charity applies here. What other possible interpretation of UTF-8 decoding is there for what I wrote? I mean, the automaton literally contains a UTF-8 automaton right in it, and semantically, it is totally matching in terms of codepoints.

It's also worth noting that Saskatchewan is not very populated in general, either. There are 1.2M people, in an area 1.5x the size of California (which has 39.5M). At least 500K of those are way south of Wollaston, in Regina and Saskatoon.

There is no one around when you're up that far north. You're not getting overflights the way you might in the US. There are 3 flights (~30 max passengers each) daily to CZWL (Wollaston) by one SK airline - there's one other airline that might service it, not sure. There might be a few other small aircraft, but in an area with about 1k people, not many. So, yeah - you are not getting rescued without being lucky, and/or taking drastic measures.

Really, though, that's true once you leave the 49th parallel. In general, you get about half way up through the provinces in Canada, and there is nothing much left to go find.

Not quite true in northwest BC and all of AB are exceptions, AB due to oil, BC may be the same and/or mining. Then you have to get up into the territories.
In my experience, if performance is an absolute need, there are plenty of other frameworks out there. Apache Flink and Apache Apex come to mind, even though they are JVM.

Whats interesting about the Python angle is I've noticed there are data science teams who would want to manage streams in production, however there tends to be a heavy dependency on python and its ecosystem (numpy, scipy, tensorflow).

SuperPaint was by far the best graphics editor I ever used, on any platform. Nothing today even comes close in terms of usability, although many apps today beat it in features. I was extremely disappointed when Adobe acquired Aldus and killed it as I knew they would.

There is a searing pain I feel when I know precisely what I want to do in "modern" editors and simply can't find the command buried in the menus somewhere, and have to resort to forums to find the answer. I never got that with SuperPaint.
At least on the IBM side, they were careful about IP rights.

Summer of 1995, I had an internship (as a tester) on IBM's OS/2 LAN Server Enterprise team in Austin. This was well after the IBM/Microsoft 'divorce', but IBM's LAN Server product still had large volumes of code written by Microsoft and still displayed a Microsoft copyright message alongside the IBM copyright.

At that time, one of several other initiatives at IBM was a longer term project to remove all the Microsoft code from LAN Server. To accomplish this, they divided their developers into 'Clean' and 'Dirty' groups, where cleanliness was defined as not having ever seen the Microsoft code. It was then only the 'Clean' developers that could contribute new replacement code.

(The 'Enterprise' project was also interesting in and of itself. To help make the product more scalable, IBM was replacing all of the default directory/etc. services with a new version of DCE they were also developing for OS/2. 22 years later, it all seems pretty archaic, but it was fun at the time to be a bit involved.)

Another..similarily... when you die, you jump into 'you' in a different timeline at the exact moment you died, but that 'you' didn't die and lives on, till the 'new' you dies' and you 'jump' into another timeline at the same age, and continue till the oldest 'you' and 'last' you dies at which your progression ends.

This could tie in, because your 'mandela' effect could be memories from your 'other' lives that you've lived while 'jumping' through the multiverse.

Having just come out of spending over a week in the Pasayten wilderness, it's most definitely not a national park..
If you're using Spark's built-in scheduler then the cluster manager is a SPOF. Hadoop docs say you can get active/standy ResourceManager, not that I've tried it. Spark can also use k8s and nomad to schedule executors, and those have HA modes as well. I assume Mesos does HA.

You're still boned if the driver dies. I am pretty sure that the driver keeps some important state in RAM so if the node hosting it goes down you have to restart from the beginning, even if the cluster manager restarts the driver.
> Never did I mention Facebook shouldn't rid its platform of bad users

Sure you did:

> That being said, there are inflammatory parties on the internet, and since Americans now seem to think the future of their country depends on removing them, Facebook needs to abide for the sake of PR

You're implying that the only reason Facebook would need to get rid of bad actors is "for the sake of PR", and that Americans only want to be rid of bad actors "because they're scared."

> Never did I say Americans were dumb or insult them in any other way

Sure you did, you implied through your tone throughout the comment that the desire to be rid of bad actors on facebook is a knee-jerk reaction that Americans are only making due to fear.

It's the tone of your post that is being critiqued, not explicit words you're using per se.
There's no money in running a music service.
