> Would you support a bill forcing owners of large houses to set aside some of their space for the homeless? Would you give your squatter a vote equal to your own in matters of deciding how to arrange the furniture and paint the walls?

Quantity has a quality all its own. You can't analogize the massive scale of enormous wealth to a typical scale of a smallholding without making serious errors.

You're making those serious errors in your analogy.

If you're one of a club of billionaires whose large estates take up all the land, then yes, you should be forced to set aside space for the homeless.

Similarly, if you have massive control over the economy, you have no right to oligarchy. You need to move over and make way for democracy.

> If I bought a share in a company fair and square, I bought that share came with a certain expectation of control. That share is my property. Giving control to people who haven't bought control fair and square is a taking of my property, and as a general heuristic, we should be extremely skeptical of taking people's property for some kind of ostensible good.

Property rights aren't the highest holy, up on some sacred pedestal somewhere. They should only exist to the extent that they serve the public good.
The problem here is that there is no obvious process <-> window relation. Some windows have a PID property in their X11 Atoms list, but that's optional. After all, X11 clients can run remotely. And then there's the problem of clients started only by childs of the process that you want to run here.

As the other commenters have pointed out, the simplest and most robust thing might be to just resize all new windows to max and map them. Now you just have to make sure that only one window will be opened...
Coming from small-town Missouri and having traveled very little even within the US, I had literally never heard of any specific Indian dish (authentic or not) until I moved to San Francisco. I had no idea what naan or chicken tikka masala were until my company in SF ordered some.

What do you do now instead? How do you view your work?
As I recall when learning angular (2) and react (whatever 2016 version was), almost every tutorial on the subject of routers would just go "the easy route" that inevitably avoided using the browser history API.

I haven't checked in a while, I wonder if this situation improved? A lot of these frameworks market themselves as dead easy, but I always found a gap between the "dead easy start-up" documentation, and the documentation that essentially amounted to "read the source code."

FireFox based browsers support pkcs11 for smart cards like Yubikey. The right way can be built today. Popular services never built it. Maybe when security keys are more popular, they will. I believe trying to make the wrong way work at any cost will only entrench the wrong way. I'd rather point out that there is a better way in hopes that others will adopt it.

Your article makes a valid point about the catch 22 of U2F keys. I simply disagree with your conclusions that it is the user who should try harder to make U2F work. It seems like you are pointing out that U2F is fundamentally broken, but you haven't accepted that yet.
Interesting. Could be because it is somewhat stale, maybe. (Was it bought from stores, what you tried?) Same happens in India. Fresh home-made buttermilk tastes good, from just after being made up to say 24 hours or so. After that it does get more acidic, particularly in warmer weather or if not kept in the fridge, although I might call it sour instead. Not found it tasting bitter though, as I remember. Could be you had bad luck and it was quite old stock.
Yeah, but the words and sentence structures are similar.

I got from the website:

> Hidden meaning depends on great neural networks

and the paper has

> The hidden meaning transforms the abstract beauty.

The website has

> Your heart belongs to total acceptance of observations

and the paper has

> Your movement transforms universal observations

The website has

> Information transforms mortal knowledge.

which is similar to

> Your movement transforms universal observations

and

> The hidden meaning transforms the abstract beauty.
Vague and awkward wording is a signature of bullshit artists like Deepak Chopra. They word it that way on purpose, for exactly the reason that it worked on you: people will struggle to find meaning in it until they find an interpretation that works for them, and then they'll feel like their interpretation offers them some kind of insight.

Metaphors are written to be interpreted more narrowly.

It's ... the difference is like going to an art museum, and on one wall, you have a painting featuring something recognizable as a person carrying a glass of water in a desert, and on the opposite wall, you have a blank canvas. There are multiple ways to interpret the painting of the person in the desert, and it'll have slightly different meanings to different people, but most of those will follow a similar theme. That painting has content. The blank canvas is intended for people to stare at it and invent their own meaning. It has no content. It's bullshit.
Also some of the employee's non-rent spending will go to local businesses which will spend some of that money on rent and some of that money on salaries and so on with the new set of employees.

What are the possible repercussions of an SEC investigation? Are they significant?

Assuming for a second that this was just gamesmanship, it could be a great strategy.

Many short sellers get their shorts cancelled due to their stops and lose a lot of money. These short sellers (and others) will think twice about shorting Tesla again and may move on to easier targets.

It could be that all Mr. Musk needs to do is create a plausible story that he believed the funding was actually secured. If he can afford to defend the lawsuits in court and afford the SEC penalties, this could be a big long term win for the Tesla stock price.

You cannot infer any of that from the simple act of consuming books. Books range from essentially written porn all the way up to dissertations on philosophy.

It is an accusation. It is also a false statement.

This is so ridiculous I don't know where to begin. It's like saying the expected value of a dice roll doesn't exist because no roll ever equals 3.5, or the average of any number of trials is not necessarily 3.5. It's claiming a counterfactual is false because its antecedent is false.

You're welcome to run away with your tail between your legs after making baseless accusations and misunderstanding the concept of probability.
Just because new employees aren’t getting pensions doesn’t mean a lot of people weren’t grandfathered in.

Wide scale elimination of pensions started in the 2000’s. Millions of people still have pensions in the US.
That's my point though - if it takes a half-dozen clicks to decide it's not worth it, then they weren't using a good format anyway. You likely did the last 5 clicks hoping things would be different after the click - the click itself was NOT a value add.

I'm not saying it isn't useful to bypass that to get back, but then you're literally asking the people that made the bad design decision in the first place to make the good one to let you out - and they likely won't, for the same reasons they gave you that UI in the first place.

Most web devs I know are self taught. That includes the computer science majors scoring jobs at Google and Facebook - I haven't heard of anybody getting an "education" in web development, outside the bootcamps, and as a bootcamp attendee I recall us focusing on just learning how to program over anything else. Like, there wasn't a web design sprint.

Is this everyone else's experience? How has web design been taught lately?
Maybe BCD because otherwise converting from binary to decimal is too painful? Lots of these were used in instrumentation with the classic 7-segment displays.
> Considering Germany is an economic powerhouse

Having seen piles of headlines about stagnant wage growth in Germany, I had to look up some stats, and found these links:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth
https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/wage-growth

Except for 2009/10 being particularly bad in the US, wage growth seems much stronger in the US.

And when I look at tech salaries in the EU, I'm not sure I want that. Or at least that attitude to compensation.
I know times are changing and all, but to me, it's still damn weird to see something as informal as "bullshit" used in a journal article definition.
It's in the last sentence you pasted:
> The instruction to "select a room" indicates that the image is interactive.

That assumption is that the rooms are selectable, so "tabbing" with a screen reader will select each and speak their Alt text.
If someone thinks about suicide for years and then "impulsively" picks up that gun, I'm guessing the researchers count that as an "impulsive decision". On the other hand, it does seem Katie's attempt was genuinely a spur-of-the-moment thing, and a proper gun cabinet might have been sufficient to stop her.

As a PSA, don't ever try to kill yourself with a gun. The success rate is only 70 percent. The 30 percent who survive are much worse off than the rare jumper who survives the golden gate bridge
> Sounds very close to ex post facto

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. If a democracy can't repeal a law that's proven to be an error, you'll have quote a dysfunctional system.

Ex post facto (in the Constitution, at least) refers specifically passing a law making an action illegal and punishable after the fact. Actions can only be illegal according to the law in force at the time they were taken.
You don't store count count of days, each node is the sequence of the previous k states. Usually k=1, but set k=2 and you get something where each state is predicted based on the previous 2 states.

So no, you don't need an infinite amount of memory, it's all still finite (although rapidly gets large).
I've done that before, when I was noobish and couldn't get the damn framework to work like I thought the internet worked.

There was this hellish twilight area of my learning web dev where I was transitioning from how i thought the internet worked (HTML pages with anchor tags) to how it actually worked in 2015, which is slapped together framework routers that I couldn't fenangle to work with the History API.
I love flow, it makes me feel great. But it doesn't make me happy - just grumpy when people interrupt me, and impatient when I'm in social occasions when people are making small talk.
That's fine, but then the question becomes "How many people who want fancy 'high quality' Indian food also live far from decent Indian food". At this price point, your demographic seems to be people who have a decent amount of disposable income who also want QUALITY Indian food who also don't want to have to prepare it themselves and who don't live near Indian restaurants of comparable quality to the product. How much of that 5 Billion dollar pie have you carved away from your product when it's framed like that?

I have to agree with OP. I wish you well, but if I want to pay this much money for Indian food I'll likely go to an Indian Restaurant near me. I'm supporting a local business and being provided with a restaurant experience.

(of note: I worked in restaurants for over a decade, so my food spending tends to fall into "dining experience at a great restaurant" or "ingredients to prepare my own food because it's cheaper than convenience foods". I was going to be a hard sell from the start).
Oh boy! This could be the mother of all Indian food discussions. I know how Indians love to argue about their food. Seriously though, congrats on the launch. Can't wait to get a taste.
Newer titles tend to use newer engines, almost all of which include Linux export as a one-click build option.
Look beyond arbitrary administrative divisions at what actually exists on the ground. Of course, many cities are spirals rather than circles so it can be difficult decide where to draw the line.

> When we asked the core PostgreSQL devs about this, they explained that they did this because sorting out the appropriate locks was a hard problem, and that they saw this scenario as so unlikely for OLTP that they instead directed their resources to other more pressing problems.

The locking on partitioned tables is a little clunky, but the overhead of these locks is very low. The main performance problem in Postgres 10 was the partitioning pruning, which used an exhaustive linear search. That has been fixed in Postgres 11 (due in September) which uses binary search and introduces various other partitioning improvements [1].

> They did a lot of mathematical analysis to decide that 80 bits for the internal number format would result in accurate 64 bit results. Something about losing lots of bits of accuracy during exponentiation, so you want extra bits the size of the exponent.

I'm not sure if it was the reason, but 80-bit intermediate values lets you compute pow(x,y) as exp(y*log(x)) to full precision for the full range of 64-bit floats.

Bedtime Bulb (https://bedtimebulb.com/), a low-blue light bulb for healthy sleep. For every purchase, we give healthy lighting to one person in need.

For almost a decade, I've been working on the problem of reducing blue light at night, which could interrupt quality sleep. I started (and later sold) a company that automated Philips Hue lights to change color automatically, but realized that solution was too expensive and complicated for most people.

My latest attempt, Bedtime Bulb, is also the simplest. It's literally a light bulb that produces almost no blue. It's also the right light for the evening: much less eyestrain and a more comfortable feel than competitor's products.

I consider this an MVP but also the solution that's most appropriate for a general market.

So before you moved to SF, you never ate any of these products. Most people don't start eating new cuisines from a product like this, they start at restaurants (under the assumption that these cooks have experience cooking the food and will likely make a good product) or after having a meal prepared for them by another person.

That's not to say you wouldn't see this product at a store and go "oh, I've heard of Indian food and always been interested!" but that's not the common buyer behavior. People tend to pick convenience foods based on established food preferences/familiarizes.
