Yes speed is one of dozens or hundreds of factors. Doesn't seem to be one of the most significant ones, and is very different to having a bar below which sites attract a Penguin-like penalty. Weight in MB appears to be irrelevant to Google ranking.

So I stand by my first comment. If they cared there would be a Penguin style update to penalise page excess like they have in the past for poor quality link farms etc.

I'm not sure I understand your question. My point was that this study doesn't seem to support the claim that probiotics are potentially harmful, or useless. I question the conclusions they've drawn, and find it problematic that the headline borders on prescriptive without compelling evidence to support the claims. Good science welcomes intense criticism and skepticism.

When any bar is set for what is considered "acceptable" inquiry in areas dedicated to research, we set boundaries that will inevitably be twisted to constrain research and free inquiry when reactionaries or revolutionaries are in power. They will use those boundaries as gameable dogma to expel and ostracize minorities. The reason academic freedom both exists and is largely value-agnostic is to preserve those norms and precedents should ideologues that aren't on your side assume power over you.

rDNS is of course extremely important. That was important even long before the existence of SPF and DKIM.

The neighboring IP space and the general IP space reputation of the ARIN/RIPE/APNIC/AFRINIC (or whatever) block assigned to your ISP is extremely important. Your neighbours can ruin everything for you. The only way to ensure that this doesn't become an issue is to host your smtpd at an ISP that has a highly attentive, clueful NOC and responsive abuse policy that actually deals with network abuse (real abuse, not DMCA notices).

The first is that echo chambers are a terrible disservice to readers, to listeners, to students and to democracy. The second is that with respect to political issues, a degree of humility is essential.

It's weird that this is the point of the opinion piece in this context. We're talking about a guy who built his fame on selling sensationalism to his own echo chamber and never showed one iota of humility.

I agree we could all use a little bit more humility, but we're not going to get there by hearing from someone whose talking points are not based on fact, but on appealing to emotion.

If you want someone with an opposing viewpoint at the festival, find someone more sincere. To borrow an example from the article, even if you disagree with Noam Chomsky, you can still trace back his opinion to the facts that informed it. You didn't see Buckley debating people on Firing Line who completely fabricated stories.

Your issue isn't with my suggestion, it's with regulations that specifically allow Autopilot to continue to be sold and engaged in Tesla vehicles.

"The vehicle could do X while under your control. If you are not comfortable with X occurring while under your control, do not buy the vehicle (or buy the vehicle, but do not purchase Autopilot). The vehicle feature that could cause this is still permitted by regulators to be functional. You are solely responsible for the actions of the vehicle while operating it."

You can sign up now and be able to use a form of cloud quantum computing. I think to get actual access to the quantum computer, though, you have to explain what you want to use it for. So i'd imagine they are focusing on research projects or other interesting uses.

I went to a presentation by Gwen at SciPy2018 and got to talk to her a little later. They're doing some really cool things with this stuff. I think they're also trying to just get people more used to quantum programming in general.

Is automation to blame for lost agricultural jobs? Lost textile mill jobs?

Yes, it is. Do we miss those jobs? No, we don't, because we're so much wealthier when we can replace human labor with machine labor. That frees up humans to do higher-order tasks, improving our standard of living.

Yes, there are winners and losers with any change, but long-term we are far better off than we could have imagined at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

Yes, you shouldn't change the terms of a contract after the fact, so you only need to think of all possible use cases of the smart contract in advance, test for all edge cases, and then write flawless code in a minefield infested language like Solidity (a feat that its own creator couldn't accomplish).

Since this isn't very likely, it strongly implies the smart contract model isn't a good one for writing software.
It is Didi's responsibility to police their platform. If the offending drivers had already been reported multiple times and Didi had not taken action, it clearly indicates passenger safety was not high on their list of concerns.

If you are a predator, bring a driver affords you all kinds of opportunities to prey you people that you otherwise would not have. How often are you going to find a young woman walking in a dark park by herself late at night? Compare that to how easy it is to pick one up as an Didi/Uber driver.

At the end of the day, a ride sharing company's users literally entrust their lives to the company. It is the responsibility of the company to act on a way worthy of that trust. If they don't, it is definitely a reasonable response to #deleteDidi.

Fighter Leslie Cours Mather Releases New Album on Anniversary of Major Operation
A relentless fighter battled her way through a kidney transplant two years ago. September 27th will mark the anniversary of this endeavor for Leslie Cours Mather, and to celebrate her triumphs she will be releasing a powerful album entitled “I’m A Survivor” on September 28th. Leslie’s songs are filled with inspiring lyrics that tell her life story and the hardships that she went through. Whenever I listen to her, I can’t help but feel happy because no matter what life throws at Leslie, she will always be motivated to fight through.

The bravery and resilience of Mather will continue to shine even after her incredible adult contemporary album is released. In the months following her release, Leslie will be performing at multiple Kidney Walk events hosted by the National Kidney Foundation. The Kidney Walks will be in Irvine, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Her performances will be perfect for these events because, being that she's gone through a kidney transplant herself, her music can be a beacon of hope to all of those who have to go through what she went through. Whether you want to hear great music, or walk and support a great cause, you should definitely try and participate in one of these Kidney Walks!

Be sure to follow her on Facebook at facebook.com/leslie.mather and Spotify at https://spoti.fi/2OFAiOT to keep updated on the latest and greatest from Leslie!

If you’re as excited as I am, you can preorder her album here bit.ly/IAmASurvivor!

This is partially at least an emotional problem which you cannot only tackle with logic. The other problem that you’ll currently see is that even if you can convince people that tearing down their house and building a new one in the same spot, they’ll often still want to be able to afford one of the new flats - and that’s currently not a given. So people understandably prefer to stick what they have.

So a fundamental ability to compete is IMHO a basic requirement for building more chairs.

> Full employment is not a goal. Our society's goal is to ensure people have access to goods and services. Unfortunately, that's hard to optimize for, so we optimize for full employment as a proxy.

I disagree, at least if democracy is also a goal. Full employment gives individual citizens economic power to go with their political power. Merely "ensur[ing] people have access to goods and services" turns them into economically disempowered dependents.

It might not just be “faster”. It could also be “better” (obtaining more accurate results than you otherwise could), or “cheaper” (obtaining results with less money, less memory, less electricity, ...). Power consumption, for instance, is a huge factor in the design of modern supercomputers and data centers. If you can do useful tasks 50% slower but using 5% of the energy you’d consume with a “full speed” solution, I’d say that’s a win.

Fascinating approach. Just be aware it's going to cost $17.52 a month to run this in S3 API charges alone. I'd probably go for `at` on an instance instead at a first pass.

Alternately I'd have a cloudwatch event fire, and insert logic in what it invokes to figure out if now's the time to run the command; if not, bomb out.

So, your alternative is to do nothing. That's a valid alternative.

My experience, however, is that the web is clogged up with slow, painful to use web pages. Despite AMP's short comings, I do know that when I click on an AMP page, it's going to load quickly and behave consistently. IMO, those are pretty big benefits it would be good to bring to a larger portion of the web, regardless of it's via AMP or some other mechanism.
You can compute this integral as follows. First, you remember that sinc(x) = sin(x)/x is the Fourier transform of 1/2 * indicator function of [-1, 1]. In general you have:

sinc(x/n) = n/2 \int_{-1/n}^{1/n} d t e^{i t x}.

Next, notice that

\int_0^\infty sinc(x) \dots sinc(x/n) = 1/2 \int_{-\infty}^\infty sinc(x) \dots sinc(x/n).

Next, replace the sinc functions by their Fourier representation, change the order of integration and use the formula

\int_{-\infty}^\infty d x e^{i a x} = 2 pi \delta(a),

where \delta(a) is the Dirac delta. You are left with an integral of a delta function over a product of intervals. What remains to be done is just some tedious computation.

\int_{-1}^1 d t_0 \dots \int_{-1/(2 k + 1)}^{1/(2 k + 1)} d t_k 1/2 \dots (2 k + 1)/2 2 \pi \delta(t_1 + \dots + t_k).

Next, the question is whether t_1 + \dots + t_k = 0 has a solution for t's in the integration domain. This holds until k = 7. To see this, compute

1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15 < 1

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 = 71/105 < 1

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/9 = 248/315 < 1

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/9 + 1/11 = 3043/3465 <1

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/9 + 1/11 + 1/13 = 43024/45045 < 1

but

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/9 + 1/11 + 1/13 + 1/15 = 46027/45045 > 1.

Did you miss the report last week that Tesla is outselling BMW’s entire passenger car lineup? [1]

Also, double check your numbers - “The BMW 3 Series (the Model 3's direct competitor) sold only 3,751 cars in August.“

Tesla delivered between 17,000 - 20,000 Model 3’s in August, by comparison.

> Ford makes 50-90k F-150's a month without the drama.

“Production of the F-150, the most important vehicle in Ford’s showrooms, has ground to a halt.

Ford on Wednesday was forced to suspend all production of the F-150 after a fire at a key supplier’s manufacturing facility. It remained unclear how long the plants in Kansas City, Missouri, and Dearborn, Michigan, will need to wait before building F-150s again” [2]

That was back in May. Today they announced a recall of 2 million F150s due to a fire risk which is estimated to cost them $140 million dollars. [3]

I don't work in ocean conservation, but I spent my childhood in Southeast Asia, and saw very clearly how the plastic waste issue is more of a society wide garbage collection one. And having a proper waste management infrastructure would immediately improve the surrounding communities' health in addition to lessening the load on the world's oceans.

Yet I find that whenever I mention this in Tech circles, it's like people don't even hear what I said, and just go back to beating the 'plastic is bad' drum. It's bizarre.
It looks like a huge missed opportunity for Tesla to not be getting all those domestic mass transit contracts at the very least.

Tesla isn't laser focused on high-end exotic cars, look at the Tesla Semi for example, and energy storage.

I think Tesla's existing targets are more a product of their limits to production scale than anything else.

Other way I've thought of effectively achieving this is by using VPS for static IP outside of residential ranges and home machine connected by WireGuard VPN. WireGuard handles roaming easilly, so dynamic IP is no problem, IPv6 is no problem, and the mail will stay on your home machine. You'll also bypass your country's/ISP tracking somewhat if you place your VPS outside of the country.

I'm afraid I may not clearly understand what you mean by "testing" then.

I worked on one project where we used Wiremock extensively. Development and QA was done against the mocks because the real target system did not exist yet. Everything from business logic to error handling and even load testing was done against wiremock. Even when the other system got up and running, some conditions were impossible to test without wiremock. For example, what if the web service we hit returns a 500 error? Well, the real system never did that in practice. But with wiremock we could do that whenever we wanted.

Of course, we still had to do integration testing before going live, but wiremock saved us a TON of time for development and QA.
