"We don’t make any actual predictions about where things are going next month or, in the markets, next year. The stock market could rise a lot, short-term. We don’t know."

Vanguard's model says the probability of a recession by late 2020 is between 30% and 40%, which is higher than normal.

That also means that the probability of no recession by late 2020 is between 60% and 70%, which is lower than normal.

China has been far more worried about (a) internal security, the party is deathly afraid of its own people, and (b) its border countries. On the latter point, China and Russia have even fought some skirmishes over their vast border, and have only been recently back on friendly terms.

China did make it all the way to Hanoi during the Sino-Vietnam war back in 1979. I'm not sure what definition of occupy you want to use here.
Yeah, but like most renewable energy, you need the right place to currently make it economical.
The tax cuts were to benefit the already wealthy. The majority of the country has actually seen wages fall since the tax cuts.

It’s all relative, isn’t it? Since tokens have no utility or intrinsic value, or economic connection to any other thing, then they are almost pure expressions of commodity pricing: at any given moments, they are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for them, no more or less. They just blow around according to the fleeting whims of the market.
I blame firefighting causing forest change. Firefighting causing fuel levels to build up to unprecedented densities. Who put out fires before we started? Nobody. Nature handles that fine herself. But leave it to us to try to "improve" on it.

Saw it at BH. Was a great talk/interesting research; surprised it didn't get much attention.
They definitely popularized it, but they didn't invent it. The graphics chip of the PlayStation was referred to as the "GPU" at least as far back as 1995, and I don't think NVIDIA had any involvement in its development or marketing (although the company was founded early enough for that to have been possible).
Wonder how the old 'Horn Antenna' on nearby Telegraph Hill is doing? Years ago, got a retired Bell Labs physicist named Dieter Marcuse to give me a walk-around tour of the thing. Now it's a National Monument but then it was viewed by engineers as a relic.

Because the people who should be working hard to change government simply aren’t. In the US, city governments ARE “the people”. If you have a city council, start going to meetings. It’s a great way to see how your local government actually works (or doesn’t work), and you might even meet some interesting people in the process. Otherwise, run for local office or try to get on a board or a commission. It’s not sexy, but this stuff, especially things like transportation and zoning, have the most impact at the municipal level, and it’s remarkably easy to get involved.
That's messed up. Injustice, and maybe racist? So many other Banks down the street that casued malice...I thought it was bad enough that non of the big banks got in trouble for ruining the global economy...but to prosecute a small bank, which has default rate of 1/10th of other banks is infuriating, which fired the one employee that casued trouble...

Kind of, but nothing super formal. I've contacted a few of the aldermen's offices, but never the aldermen themselves.

Though, during last mayoral election, some of the mayoral candidates wanted to use parking tickets as part of their campaign, and through some connections I found my way into Bob Fioretti's campaign manager's office to discuss parking tickets, alongside an ex-candidate, Amara Enyia's campaign manager. They were super, super interested - Fioretti's CM calling the work "fucking golden". But.. they both went silent after that, despite Fioretti started using parking tickets as a major part of his campaign. Go figure.

There's a lot more to that story - I'll end up write about sometime later :).

You would be surprised how this works.
Both you and the parent seem to assume that there is this clear boundary between gathering requirements, and implementing the solution.

The hard part is accepting that this is an ongoing cycle and that you need to find ways to build inertia and continually evolve the value proposition.
Reliable? Depends on the implementation I guess. If it's competing with a phone line they might not get it. We used fax to communicate with with far flung doctors offices and it was nothing but trouble. The process of sending or receiving a fax often entaled calling back and fourth to ensure that it arrived and re-sending.

Email, on the other hand, always got through.
I wasn't trying to create any definite story, I'm just saying that it is easy to make a historical analogy depending on what you wantto take away from it. China is not the Soviet Union any more than it is the United States. Doing away with the belt and road initiative by painting it as a Soviet vanity project seems too simple, the country is communist only in name.

For me, this narrative seems to be very typical of our European/American mindset. All great infrastructure plans are grandiose planning, we're done growing, we're 2 years away from the next crisis and so forth and projecting it onto China, which seems to have shaken off that very prediction over and over. China's current mode of development does not comply with our 'End of History' like narrative about how countries ought to develop, so we're stuck in a constant loop of shallow pessimistic analogies.

I would want to see an in-depth analysis of the project really looking at the consequences with an eye on the long-term effects rather than just stories about some harbor in Africa falling short of expectations. This is not illuminating.
Yep, but the parent comment asked:

If both are subject to vulnerabilities are there any upsides to continuing to use fax?

Like a lot of things in the world, actual use comes down to practicality. There hasn't been a big enough scandal, yet, with regard to legal recognition of faxed documents. And it's a legacy format that remains in place, that allows for immediate communication of same. So, people use it.

Thinking of this reminds me of U.S. voter registration and voting. Right now, we have a manufactured political uproar about supposed fraud and abuse of the extant systems. But studies have shown this to be very negligible. Yes, in theory voter registration in the states and municipalities could be further "secured". But, up until this use as a political tool, doing so wasn't viewed as necessary. Localities did a sufficient job of managing registration and identification of their own bases.

And actually, the "security" of voter registration had to be forcibly loosened, in order to prevent it from being used as a tool of disenfranchisement (e.g. difficult tests to pass, in order to register -- but only for African Americans).

Faxes aren't really "secure". But they are used to put an official, sanctioned imprimatur on what is already understood and happening, anyway, when the parties involved aren't immediately face-to-face.

Maybe there are some cases over whether a faxed signature is genuine, but these apparently haven't risen in prominence to the point of derailing the faxed signature as legal mechanism. They would have a lot of convenience and "efficiency" -- these days, "necessity" -- to outweigh, before they would do so.
NVidia has increased power efficiency and cost efficiency every generation. Sometimes they haven't increased as much as we would like, but in the absence of serious competition this is what we get.

The chip shown today (GT102?) is much larger than GP102 but smaller than GV100, so it's not clear to me what it should be compared against.
Anyone can join them - like many credit unions these days, they've hacked the statutory rules restricting credit union membership, and one of the ways to join them is to allow them to pay $5 to a charity once on your behalf:

I'm not sure about who their primary market is now, though - they grew out of United Airlines as their primary employer group, and now have many others (I joined through Google). I think they're among the largest credit unions in the US.

Regardless of the primary market question, they meet the needs you outlined.

Just Fisher Men: Deuteronomy 28
The car is not all that's at play here. Road surface quality is a huge factor.

I've pushed a rental Merc past 180 km/h (110 mph) on a reasonably well-paved outback road, and it was downright unpleasant to drive at that speed from the vibration. On a smoother highway I would guess it'd still become unpleasant past 200 km/h (125 mph).

Personally, I also found driving at those speeds too mentally taxing. The lack of time to react, the lack of maneuverability, and the huge braking distance were just too stressful. You couldn't let your thoughts, let alone your eyes, off the road for even a second.

On that particular trip, I had driven for 18 hours (excluding short breaks and a 3-hour nap), most of it at ~100 km/h. If I had the option of driving 180 km/h the whole time and save 8 hours, I would not take it.

That said, if there were no speed limits, I'd probably drive 130-150 km/h (80-95 mph), depending on the road, which isn't far from what volkk said.
Another possibility is that there is more demand in one direction.

You might have a major city, A, a center of finance and law and full of corporate headquarters, and a smaller city, B, where many of the companies whose headquarters are in A have their engineering and manufacturing facilities.

Someone making a deal with one of those companies may need to visit both engineering to work out technical details first and then visit headquarters to work out business, financial, and legal details. They will travel from home to B, and then travel to A, and then when done travel directly home from A. This may happen much more than the other direction--people needing to visit headquarters first and then going to visit engineering and manufacturing, without needing to go back to headquarters.

Net result: more passengers needing B to A than A to B. This can result in A to B trips having empty seats. It might even result in some trips with no passengers at all! They can't simply cancel those trips, because they need to get the vehicles to B to handle the B to A traffic, so they sell seats cheap.

Die prices rise exponentially with area if your product requires a flawless die. But in architectures where bad subsections can get mapped out, such as GPUs and multicore CPUs, the price rise is not exponential.
Thank you.

I’ve never thought about it from that perspective and it’s true. I’ve met plenty of former male former coworkers for lunch or to hang out with on the weekend just to keep my network strong and to compare notes about the industry. As a married man, I wouldn’t do that with any female former coworkers because of appearances.

I’ve actually gone out of town to a coding conference to hang out with three of my former coworkers - one male and two females - over the past two years. But the guy who was on our team unfortunately passed away recently. It would look very bad for me to go up there just to meet my two female coworkers.

I once flew out of town with a female former coworker to get specs on a side contract we were working on. The only reason I felt comfortable doing that - especially since my wife and I had just gotten married - was because my wife had already met my friend and her girlfriend.

I’ve been texting my male former coworker on and off all day about our careers. How would my wife feel if I were texting “Barbara” all of the time instead of “Bob”?

I don’t know how to square that circle that puts women at a disadvantage.
Release notes are available at: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.11

Headline features (as judged by me) are:

* A new WebAssembly backend, js/wasm, for the gc compiler.

* Preliminary support for modules, i.e., the first step towards a package manager built into the Go command.

* Improved support for debuggers, especially Delve.

* Removal of many direct system calls from the macOS runtime. Unlike on Linux, the macOS system call interface is not considered stable. Go 1.11 binaries are now less likely to break when you upgrade your macOS version because system calls are made through the proper channel (libc).

Do you truly believe that. Considering that that those same oldies are the ones who put the young through school, which even in public schools is expensive.

I know that both my parents put in considerable time, effort and funds to give my siblings and me the opportunities to develop ourselves in whatever way we leaned towards, whether that be apprenticeships or university or something else. There was no mythology of what they put in. Likewise, my wife and I have put out considerable effort to have our children well educated and and have helped facilitate their life directions. My children have reflected on their realisation of just how hard it is, now that they are going through the same things with their own families.

With all the young people we are involved with, our common refrain is to look carefully at what is going on in society, learn all you can and make decisions based on careful thought. Part and parcel of this is about respecting those who have gone before them, even if they don't deserve it, and respecting other people even if there is no agreement with what they might say or do.

As far as wealth transfers are concerned, how often do we see stories of the young who have made considerable inroads into making their own fortunes by dint of wise savings and investments and doing the hard yards to learn how to do this. I have watched many who just fritter away their wealth with the latest fashions, gizmo's, parties and lattes, without thinking about what they could do instead. But hey, that's their choice.

One would need to think very, very carefully before taking the franchise away from some group of people because you may think they are now to old. There will be unintended consequences that will cause more problems than one may have ever thought possible.
This is an unfortunate historical accident of fax and paper coming first. They are not subject to the same security rigor that other IT services are. And a recipe for lost health information and poor patient outcomes.
Having experienced this: I think the word "conservative" doesn't quite capture the severity of detaining someone for mental health reasons. It has been argued that when someone is detained on mental health grounds, this is equivalent to a breach or suspension of the social contract in respect of that person. It is extremely unsatisfactory, though it might be a least bad option.

Outcomes might be better than if there was no intervention, but that doesn't necessarily imply that mental health services are effectively doing anything more than providing "protective custody".

Really would like to know how it got to that point. I'm not far from Mayo and its of course a well ('world renown') known hospital. I haven't heard many good stories. I know of close friends who have gone there to get help and heard multiple stories about how the Drs ego got in the way of patient care and listening to what the patient was telling them. It's sad that this is reflected in this story to what I think is the extreme and then to boot what looks to be attempts to cover it up by adding stuff onto her records after she had already left.

Would like to hear Mayo's story on this, but I have a feeling it will be more excuse/finger pointing than explanation.

I do hope that they take this as a lesson on patient care especially the Doctors.
Go is still one of the most difficult and counter intuitive build systems ever devised. Usually you’d expect a project to build out of the box. Go seems to take a stance of “Haha nope, get ready to figure out which version of the standard library this 4 month old project was written against, then have fun trying to update it to the latest.”

I like the language though. Their green threads are still the best.
