I think the person above you is literally saying that in places where it’s cheap enough a single income earner can easily get a 2br. I don’t know how true that is but I believe that’s what they were saying.
An exam where you can hand in a blank paper to try again later and not just get a 0 seems like it would be uncommon. I certainly never had that experience.
What matters in 1 is how they came up with it.

If they decided to lengthen times to better fit real world conditions, it is fair. If they went searching for 'fair' changes that could be made that would statistically boost one group over another, it isn't a fair change.
Odd, I've read http://www.paulgraham.com/thist.html and digged about Shivers a bit yet never saw that site.

Um, google is taking people's pages and hosting them themselves? That seems like a copyright violation to me. If my website was being mirrored by google and they diverted traffic to the mirror instead of my own website, I'd be filing a DMCA pretty quick.

Or is AMP opt-in?

For me blank pages happen with content blockers because the content is hidden and there's some CSS animation which unblocks it after 8s if the JS hasn't loaded. 8s might be longer than someone is willing to wait, and either way is always slower than just rendering the content that's already there, sans JS.

Note that "content blocker" is congruent to "resource failed to load", which could always happen.

Wait a second. This is not how programming works at all. Flashcards are for memorization. If you need to memorize the answer to your "var x=0;..." example, that means that you have not understood how your programming language works. This sounds like a horrible idea. What happens if I change the variable names? Would you still know the answer? You can memorize as long and as perfectly as you want; if you struggle with such basic understanding of the programming language, I will not let you touch any of my software products.

I cannot believe that you are following such a strange approach to learning programming. In fact, I believe that you are using Anki for something completely different than what you are claiming here. You are not making flashcards and you are not memorizing the answers. You are making quizzes and you are using Anki to check whether you are able to solve them. At least, that's what I hope.
AMP's innovation isn't a way to make pages fast. AMP is a way to sell other stakeholders on implementing technologies that make your website fast. All the stuff AMP does is stuff you could do yourself without the extra request to amp.js and the extra work to amp-ify your pages.

But imagine you've got an advertising department that wants three different ad networks, a couple different managers that want to see stats from a couple different analytics platforms, and and the designer wants to load a font from fontsquirrel and another one from typekit and another one from google web fonts, and as a developer who wants to keep the site fast you have to fight them every single time they want to add something else that slows your site down. Having the same fight every time, with everybody else saying "oh, it's just one request. and this one is really critical" it's hard to keep fighting that fight.

It's a lot easier to say "i can't do that, it doesn't work in AMP". If you can find a better way to convince large organizations that page load speed is a valuable metric, and more important that whatever other resource they want to load today, I'd love to hear it. But from what i've seen, AMP is the only thing that's had any success in tackling this problem.

I’m always amazed at how fast to load AMP pages are. I for one see the benefits.
Chiming in to say I 100% agree. People use the URL as a 'gut check' to ensure they are not on some scam/spam site, and AMP screws that up.
>They don't show ads yet. Once operating systems started integrating ads

I've never seen integrated ads on any of my Macs during normal use outside a web browser, and in iOS specifically it's always been a thing, whether built-in to the OS or a third party library. But since including, what is it called now, AdKit? I haven't seen any unusual ads in the main UI other than in the usual use-cases in apps or the web browser.
Lose or reduce. Musk would be at much greater risk as CEO if there were a small number of large shareholders. They could, in theory, band together against him to make a change. So I'd expect that as part of the deal, he'd make arrangements via voting rights to be in control. So your current 1 vote public shares may become 0 vote private shares. Or, his private shares may carry 10 votes each.

On the other hand... he seems to be somewhat an idealist and may reason that his performance will stand on its own merits. I.e., the shareholders would be right oust him if they felt that was the right course of action. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
AMP is opt-in.
The adage used to be that porn drove innovation. We need personal computers to watch...porn. We need faster internet to acquire...porn. We need higher-capacity hard drives and better compression algorithms to store...porn. We need robots with more humanoid and lifelike prosthetics...so we can fuck them.

Perhaps this was true in the 90s-00s, but I doubt it.

The state of VR is greatly ahead of where it was 20 years ago but still just a novelty in the context of porn. The current advances in ML, AI and whatever blockchain ends up being used for have little to nothing to do with porn itself (recommendation algorithms and chatbot/NLP tech have application but aren't drivers). Robotics is being advanced by far more productive applications like manufacturing and putting unskilled humans out of work.

We may eventually get to the point of autonomous sexbots that leverage all of these technologies, but it's surveillance tech and the monetization of voyeurism (for advertising) that's driving today's advances, not porn itself.

Does going to daycare over have a stay at home parent lead to an increase in the money made? And if we were considering just the number of children and how having more children will lead to more tax payers, then cutting funding for education in ways that result in more children being had is even better because you save money now and have more tax payers later.

If you begin to optimize social and political decisions on the basis of having more tax payers, you'll get weird results. For a second example, cutting reproductive education funding in schools will lead to more tax payers (though arguably tax payers who pay less, so then the question becomes are you optimizing for tax payers or for future taxable income in total).

Your either not that good, decent, pretty good or the best of the best.

I graduated from MTSU with a degree in Recording Industry. My favorite class was songwriting class where we were paired up with classmates to write songs for a grade. There was this one guy whoever knew he was the best in the class and he was. He went onto write tons of number one country songs from 2007 to 2016. Even being the best of the best didnt get him to that point rather meeting the right connection as my college g/f was just as good as him or better. She's a homemaker now.

Myself, I might be a decent songwriter, but Im a terrible singer. I get joy from others listening to my songs and say ing something nice lol.

Overall it's always been hard and if your not the best of the best or know the right person then well......

If you're in a major city, this is probably a safe assumption, but there are plenty of areas where an extra bedroom is a pretty modest expense. A few years ago I had a nice 2 bedroom apartment right off the campus of a major midwest college for $900 a month - I had a nice king sized bed in the bedroom, and a man cave room with a gaming rig and music gear. It's one of the advantages of living outside of the biggest cities.
It took them so long, I think pointing out that it's 3.7 emphasizes that they're finally caught up.

In the context that it's taken them a decade to upgrade, just seeing "Python 3" makes me wonder if they're only supporting some ancient version like 3.4 or even 3.2.

This is incredibly heart-warming to read, especially in light of all the negativity circulating around the tech world lately. This, and things like this, is what I want the tech sphere to enable for people. Technology that allows people to live a better life... or for some people, allowing them to live period.

Now I fully expect the top-rated comment on this story to quickly be a rant about how insane it is to use a non-FDA approved, DIY, device to manage something that is literally life or death...
I don't know what is necessarily novel in this. For example, I remember (but can't find) a feature for a high end car that showed IR camera display to highlight unseen deer on the road..

Anyway, I think this is a good feature for intermediate automated cars. There is a problem with keeping people interested enough to be ready to take over if there is a situation that the computer lacks the confidence to deal with. One application might be to turn the display into a game field. When there is traffic, you could be able to interact with the other cars on the road. When there isn't there could be simulations. That way, you are always looking forward and at least somewhat engaged.

As safety confidence drops, the system can highlight the area where the problem is developing, giving a subtle hint to get ready.

For later iterations, the controls could become more "game controller" like where the driver is choosing between different scenarios and the system figures out how to do it.

Though that comment may be somewhat playful, the affirmation makes good biological sense if you consider that porn messes almost directly with one of our most basic instincts. And although you can argue that ads do the same, the thing is that on ads, if they’re regulated and suited to the broadest public consumption, the appeal to the basic instincts has to be much more subtle. That makes it is less direct and less capable than porn for driving the tech resources to its development. But the difference may not be as substantial as I imagine it to be.
HUDs in aircraft are still just a reflection off of a surface. There have already been cars with HUDs. Doing this with a single surface doesn't seem innovative to me, seems like a logical leap.

Tariffs are a subsidy.
I always love Myazaki's films. I'll take a listen!
People are much more interested in hacking into voting machines than they are in hacking into public air planes.

Planes and elevators are not connected to an internet, unlike most voting machines, making them harder to hack into.

Also, when people hack into planes/elevators the hack will quickly get noticed and thus the exploit will get fixed pretty soon. With electronic voting machines the hack could remain undiscovered for years since there's no clear visible sign that the machine has been hacked.
> The understanding that tariffs are foolish is a universal among economists and is not remotely a partisan issue.

The obvious endgame is not for the US to keep these tax increases. The administration stated the goals fairly clearly, and almost(?) none of them are controversial:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-do...

Tariffs are leverage. Economists not liking them is a lot like an economist pointing out that manufacturing bullets has a fair bit of dis-utility. It's true at face value but you might want to use them for something like if there's, you know, a war going on. If a war is ongoing and an economist wants to talk about how bullets have a lot of dis-utility when we could be manufacturing more spoons, that's fine I guess. But it misses the whole point.

Anti-tax Republicans including the current admin obviously don't want tariffs around either. But they do want to use them for a short while as a tool to get China to stop the practices outlines above. No one in the republican administration intends to impose the tariffs for the sake of collecting tax revenue or anything like that.

What's the point of the discussion if you just randomly discount results? And it does apply to other searches too.

Sites do it because they are forced to for that placement, not because they want to. They would much rather have a single consistent website that benefits everyone on the web.
As others have said, obesity is not a symptom of wealth, as much as it's a symptom of poverty, as the two conditions are highly correlated. There are things such as food deserts, for instance on the south side of Chicago, there is plenty of healthy eating near UChicago where the rich people live. Head West or South into the "war zone" neighborhoods, and you'll see convenient stores everywhere selling mostly processed junk food that is addicting to those nearby, and also may be the cheapest/closest choice.

Furthermore, there has been some research to indicate that those in poverty may be less able to save money, psychologically speaking, and may have spending patterns that are not useful in alleviating poverty. For instance, if you have very little wealth but a decent income, say $25-35k as an individual, you may be able to afford an iPhone or nicer car or jewelry, however your spending on those items is now a confounder of the overall wealth gap. Some of those who are poor may be so because they do not exercise the set of behaviors that leads to wealth aggregation.

Overall, globally speaking, I do agree we are in a period where vast numbers of asians and africans are being lifted out of poverty, even as those poor in some developed nations are still in poverty within their own countries. If we look at a multi-national level, however, the trend is towards more middle class individuals world-wide.
>A more important difference is that affirmative action is generally used to favor under-represented demographics

That may be the intent, but in practice it also hurts certain underrepresented groups. For example, among all Asians, if you break down the demographic further by nationality, you'll find some groups strongly over represented and other groups strongly underrepresented. Affirmative actions applied to Asians as a whole hurts the groups which are already underrepresented, and while it hurts Asians in general compared to all other demographics, it helps over represented Asians compared to underrepresented Asians.
Apple sells to people looking for a different approach.

This is fundemental, and doing it commands high margins.

Being successful is why they have the cash pile they do and get the fat margins.

One subtle artifact in all of that is Apple does not need volume, nor has to accomodate tons of hardware variants. Being whole "stack" in this sense means being able to ask for value added everywhere possible.

I suspect ADS in a car HUD will not be welcome, and could actually see ethical challenges. Incentives are high to get a thing like this right.

I will tell you all right now, for me? NO. Not one AD. Not while driving. It is not OK, nor worth it.

Bet a cookie that sentiment is not hard to find out there.

In any case, the luxury comes from doing the work. Apple is well differentiated in this way. They have no reason to change, and billions of reasons to continue.

> Academic achievement is not the main criteria for admissions - and at least in an american system it shouldn't be.

That in itself is reasonable. The fact that the key criteria where Asian students had low performance was on the scores from interviews with admissions officers, but their scores on interviews with Harvard alumni were just fine is a pretty damning indicator that Harvard was specifically excluding them because of race and not because of their non-academic qualifications.
Frankie Boyle agrees with you (warning: lots of profanity): https://youtu.be/GtWA3jQN1Pg
Usually I believe it's a combination of facts:

- People don't think they can actually do it well enough to be significant for someone else (when they want to share knowledge)

- When they do, depending on how it's done, not getting the traction on something could take a hard toll on one's self esteem.

- It might have a negative effect on one's life, if you put something out there, it's there for everyone to criticize. You are exposing yourself, what you believe to be right and what you hold dearest to you in your beliefs.

- Time is always a constrain. We've got a finite amount of time that we can dedicate to something, juggling different priorities and trying to prioritize writing might be something hard when it's not how you make a living. If you do it for fun, you might always put first those things that have a more direct impact on your life.

- Feedback loops are hard to come by. Unless you have a close group of people that can give you a hand, you will never be done editing your own creations, and will probably have a very narrow view of what to change to make it better.

This is something I wanted to chime in, as I've gone through most of these. I just started writing some silly topics on my field (DevOps) and while doing this, I realized most of this points.
In my experience, overall what I wrote was a 10 mins read on medium, however it took me a couple of hours to write it down, got two friends to do a review of it, and previous to that I re read it at least 5 times making modifications.
It's time consuming, and I wasn't even doing it for the views, it was something I've wanted to do for a while, however for something that maybe 50 people saw, it was a huge time commitment.

On work-life balance:

I expect this is a team-to-team different. In my experience, I've had _more_ work-life balance than at any other company. I have more flexibility over my calendar. I can leave early to pick up my kids from school.

Whatever team you interviewed with isn't the norm and isn't healthy.
>Single income for 2BR is such an odd case to base an entire statistic around.

It may be the wrong choice for this analysis but it's not some weird outlier in many places in the country. Over the years, I've known many single people renting 2BR apartments and even buying houses.
> I'm really not familiar with anywhere else that offers a lot of those amenities without hell traffic or impossibly expensive housing
