Low skilled workers doesn’t accurately describe what China brings to the table currently. They effectively are the only place in the world you can source certain parts of the electronic supply chain at the volume currently necessary. They’ve been up the technical ladder for decades at the same time as other places have shed that capability. It would take a long time for Vietnam to come online. I’d guess Korea or Japan would be closest and that would have dramatic price impact.
I think simulation's scientific utility is misunderstood. A model with honest parameters and predictive ability can be used to hypothesize effectively about changes in policy or or the effects of external factors.
Ted Cruz was a candidate for U.S. President two years ago.
I recall he also had an anecdote about his next-door (or at least very close) neighbours driving to his house for some kind of party.
but who doesn't want a flamethrower mounted to their roof?
Cool. I'm not working on it actively, but if you try it out and have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

He also goes on personal crusades against members of the press, or just some random people that have said something mean, but true about him. (Vern Unsworth)

He is very open to fans who give him good press, but closes up, and dismisses boring questions from haters and non-believers and shorts.

Now, there is certainly a bit of a track record with a recent American presidents for this sort of thing. I'm not sure you want to double-down on that.
I really want the ISPs to define exactly what my monthly fees are paying for.

They'll clearly tell you that faster is better:

> Indulge in super speed and have a great online experience, whether you're browsing the Web, shopping, or streaming your favorite movies and shows.

But I want to know what my money is actually paying for.
China's good can be produced in other developing countries, like Vietnam. Inflation might not result, or just be temporary.
Also Foxconn could move ops back to Taiwan, albeit a bit expensive labor wise.

Why are we constrained to the URL bar?

I think people have just developed a weird blindness about the possibilities of user interface in browsers. There's no reason browsers could not have created all sorts of interesting user experiences with the validated business information in EV and OV certs.
Ted Cruz has run for president in the past.

"No Person except a natural born Citizen ... shall be eligible to the Office of President"

Natural born means "citizen at birth", not "born in the US"> One can also be a citizen at birth (under certain circumstances) by having parent(s) who are U.S. citizens. Ted Cruz unequivocably meets this standard.

I loved the reference to the Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Like you, A colleague of mine saw parallels in the book to data science (He wrote a series of talks about them. Here's a video with me explaining some of them https://youtu.be/iYRtVwqxjzM).
Economic interests. EU governments are seeing the majority of digital revenues carted off to american coffers and want a bigger slice to remain in europe to bolster its lagging economy.
>GDPR is not a law about "The Internet", it is a law about company records. It applies to Google, but it also applies to the Pakistani food stand on the corner. It affects Google a lot more, sure.

It's about full stack owners vs. people who depend on modules to operate, not size of the company. And controlling or maintaining consistentcy across all those modules might be difficult when it comes to GDPR. Just think about plugin pipelines that many small businesses build with Wordpress and similar, where every service that sits between your app and your database needs to be compliant if you want to comply with GDPR.

The pakistani foodstand might be a full stack owner like Google, but in small, he controls his stack and can manually delete all records if neccessary.

But if you use modules/services you can't really reach into the DB's of your module providers.
There are ways to have fast scrolling while maintaining ctrl-f compatibility by rendering a lightweight text-only copy of the content outside the viewport. It's unfortunate most websites don't bother doing that.

On the cheap side, I've had luck with the Comsol Wireless Charging Stand. I've used them with both a Nexus 5 & a Galaxy S8. Unfortunately it appears to have just been discontinued (currently on clearance sale), though I'm not surprised as it looks like a knock-off of a Samsung design:

huh. I never realized this. Thanks for the link.
I think the non-compete only applies to employees. They have a large staff of full time people that do things like plan events, manage social media, real estate transactions, and so on.
Or, you know, it could be something simple and not a conspiracy at all. If Musk didn't attack every last person who says anything critical about him, even calling one of them a pedo in a public forum, there wouldn't be nearly as much animosity towards him. He has 100% brought this down on himself, he can not blame anyone else.

The regular auto industry is likely to crush Tesla within a few years, regardless of how successful they are with the Model 3. They don't need to take shots at the CEO to achieve that, they're going to do it through bringing their own competing products to market and leveraging their own hard-won experience building shitloads of cars.

Wow can’t tell anything about subject of the piece, but as at as design goes it is an almost 100% rip off of Miriam Simin’s “Agalinis Dreams”. Incredible that MIT would let this kind of thing happen.

Here is an image of the work I mention - happened to see it in NYC in person a while back, it was working with the sense of smell too, so, looks like subject matter is also uncomfortably close

Short answer, it's within the purview assigned to the NTSB.

Longer answer: pipelines are a form of bulk material transport and are a non-trivial bit of transportation infrastructure. The NTSB seems like not too bad a place to assign accident investigation for pipeline accidents.

Yeah, maybe so, I just haven't had the time to invest in that. My wife took a high stress / high pay job to support us temporarily while I built the app, and she was nearing burnout and it just was taking me too long to scale my customer base after the paid ads failure, so I had to put it down and go back to a 9-5 to protect our marriage. ;-)
Where I live, the municipality is seriously looking into an out of the city distribution centre with (smaller, electric) vehicles for supplying the city centre. That doesn't make it free of cars, but it will be more efficient (not every shop needs their own supply truck, supplies can be shared).

Sorry! I wanted to build a native app to provide the best experience possible. I do plan to bring it to desktop macOS though.
We historically have made large releases with very little configurable features. As in, every customer gets the exact same features all in one big lump release.

We are hoping to be able to make bi-weekly releases, controlled roll-outs, beta test features, testing in a production environment, etc.

I haven't worked at reddit for seven years now, but back then, we didn't have a performance. budget. We tracked median and 99th for each api call, and then made targeted optimizations for the slowest requests, but we didn't have the resources to set a specific budget. The goal was just to make sure that the most popular requests remained as fast as possible and didn't get worse over time.
Cart + bike is definitely an option, at least for 3/4 of the year.

In my case (Sweden) the daycare subsidy is much more significant, 2 kids is $3700 (Canadian) so the incentive to work full time is absolutely massive in comparison.
How about "Build your projects online and publish them instantly"?
Please let me know how you like it and what could be improved!
Hop time is not constant. There will be longer and shorter optical links, and if you want the system to be synchronous, everyone would have to wait on the longer links.
How about "Instantly build and publish your projects online" ?
The biggest problem with your argument is that you're talking about "cities" only and ignoring the rest of the country. Cities make up 3.5% of the US land: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2015/cb15-33....

I like the idea of large cities improving their public transportation systems and having parking lots on the outskirts but it doesn't make financial sense in the smaller size cities. There are lots of people like me that live in a small down and commute into a city (60k people). I'd love better public transportation but it only makes financial sense in the "downtown" areas.
"There you go" with "your vivid imagination" is definitely and obviously a personal attack.

> Calling out unsubstantiated claims

Are you seriously not aware of how "culture fit" is used in the real world? Citations are generally not needed for common knowledge. Water is wet. 2+2=4. Asking for citations in such cases is just a harassing tactic. There's even a cartoon about it.

You still have yet to address the actual topic. Stop stalking; start contributing.
I'd attribute a large portion of church street's success to zoning policies, the city has kept that street focused on small business to avoid that common american experience of walking by a walmart for twenty minutes... the north end of the street was more sparse in terms of doorways and always was more empty, but the center and southern end were vibrant.

So I think the key to trying to do this is to encourage small business to minimize the feet/door so that there is a reasonable variety of services available.

Sorry, when I said "scientist" and "artists", I didn't mean professionally, just someone who has spent a lot of time honing their skills in these fields. One person (say Lenardo di Vinci) can be both.
How can you only have 8% equity if you did all the software? Did you take a seed round and give up a bunch of equity or something?
What licensing issues do you have in mind. Graal and SubstrateVM are all GPL-with-classpath-exception licensed, same as Java itself. It's an open source license.
Can you find case law that says that?
Absolutely. Only a few cities in the USA are expensive on an international level. The cost of living in most regions of the USA is so incredibly low that a decent programmer has a shot of having a paid off house & car, no student loans, and $100k or so retirement account by the age of 30 (assuming graduating college @22).

Where I live, the median house price is about $170k USD (avg rent is just under $900/mo) and the median software engineer salary is just under $100k USD.

Plus, taxes in the USA can be pretty low.
And it’s just isolated people noticing against a monolithic corporation. It’s hard for any small-time person who isn’t absurdly rich to get them to do anything but waste hours of their time on the phone or internet discussing the issue.

Trump is far from being a poet but he is a good orator and in the very least an effective communicator.

It should be noted that a common aspect to practically all US presidential candidates is that they all dumb down their communication style when running election campaigns, as that's a key aspect of all winning candidacies.
No. Flexbox works in only one direction at a time while grid is designed for whole areas.
A 1 ghz CPU absolutely can run a smooth touchscreen GUI, I think what OP meant is that it's not gonna be capable of running a snazzy Electron interface or some other trendy framework that makes everything super easy. You can't really afford the overhead that software running on a modern desktop can, so it will require a bit more work.

For reference, the original iPhone CPU was a single ARM11 core clocked at 412 MHz. Obviously it's possible, this Allwinner chip would run circles around that.
Yes, the Allwinner A13, inside many low-end tablets. Tablets around $50 from two years ago probably had an A13 inside.

So, really, they're lying when they say things like:

> Indulge in super speed and have a great online experience, whether you're browsing the Web, shopping, or streaming your favorite movies and shows.

Because if all I am paying for is access (to Xfinity's servers), then they cannot in any way guaranteed even being able to get to a simple blog.

They're marketing copy needs to be looked at.
There's a pretty well-accepted interpretation of what it means. There have been presidential eligibility challenges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#El...
There are a ton of domain specific languages (SQL, GLSL, etc), and I don't have a problem with those, they have a place.

The problem is that we already have too many languages trying to be generic, and languages like C++, and openMP can be wrangled into nearly any programming paradigm in common use and the results tend to also be significantly faster.

If your talking about performance, the minimum baseline requirement should be running faster than a language in common use, say C++. There are a few languages that might take this (Cuda/OpenCL) but they also tend to be somewhat domain specific. Similarly verilog/VHDL can produce fast results. There have been calls for languages that can express parallelism better and are both expressive, and safe for decades. But what we have actually gotten haven't been better in most objective measures. What we have gotten are a pile of "scripting like" languages with very similar characteristics (tcl, ruby, perl, python, javascript, PHP, lua, go, applescript, etc).
I think a lot of promises (and outright lies) have been stated.

In our case we approached construction companies. After a lot of one on one talks, we convince a couple with upcoming projects to sell the new houses they were planning on building with our devices pre-installed and use that fact as a selling point when pitching to prospective home owners. Prospective owners then, could decide to opt-out from having our product pre-installed and save that cost, but the majority wanted it and that’s how we got those 550.

From my experience hardware is hard all around and finding partners, even no traditional ones like we did on that occasion can help a lot.
great infographic
Let's say a 400 square mile area of land can only accommodate 10 million people, but that 2 billion would prefer to live there if they could, because it is one of the nicest localities in the world.

Why have 10 million lucky individuals get year round access to it, rather than giving 1 billion people 3-4 days each to visit it?

If you pile enough shit, you can still build a mountain.

All it takes is one and with the open-source nature and open ended time frame I believe it is inevitable, the question is "when". However I must say that I am more than likely excessively optimistic on that question.
Yes, let them fight and may the strongest ideas survive.
"doing throttling" is not the problem. If I'm using a lot of bandwidth and I get slowed down in fairness to other users or for network stability, I can accept that.

Throttling based on my remote network peer rather than on how much data I'm moving is anticompetitive towards that party and unfair to me as a paying customer. That's the issue. If I'm downloading Linux ISOs, streaming Netflix, grabbing all the latest podcast episodes, archiving my Google Drive locally, or grabbing the whole Simtel DOS archive for my DOSBox installation, my ISP should treat my traffic the same.
Guess we'll find out. He'll have documentation for the feds, and then they will not charge him with a crime.

I'm not talking about law, I'm talking about what customers should expect from merchants. Even if there's some fine print somewhere that says otherwise, I expect the thing I bought from a merchant to work for me, and if it doesn't, I expect my money back. If neither of these things happens, I'll no longer be a customer of that merchant.
Do you honestly think there are no walkable cities in the US or whatever outlandish claims are being made by Europeans in this thread?
I'd like to go a step further and make each state fully autonomous, with a loosely coupled 'union' for a military force (albeit, MUCH smaller than it is currently) and intrastate issues like commerce/roads/etc. Each state would pay taxes to cover those things. State taxes would be > fed, and would cover Medicare, education, medicaid, and decide their own social programs, and legal laws.. This would give more freedom, if you can afford/want to live in a progressive place with universal healthcare move to a state with that, if not move to the deep south, where they no longer have separation of church and state, and everything else Republicans want.
There is no economic reason that housing should track inflation in the long term because land in areas of economic grown becomes more valuable over time. It is driven by things like wealth generation, local incomes, outside investment, immigration, supply restrictions and so on. Ive read some estimates that put the long-term real return at ~2%, which could be competitive with stock returns with the typical modern 5:1 leverage.
Yup. And in order to get a pulse of T you need, at best, a sinc window. Resolution is intrinsically linked to bandwidth.

From many of the interviews I have seen/read, he really only seems to care about human beings becoming a multi-planetary species. Everything else is a side show - means to an end. I know you were lampooning both him and the current administration simultaneously, but I still have faith in ole musky and his space ambitions.

I agree that something is out of whack. In-house plane-jane CRUD development used to be pretty simple and quick in the 90's. One could focus on the domain analysis side instead of micromanage tech. The IDE products had glitches, but got better every release, including deployment. The Web bleeped it all to heck and back, and nobody seems interested in promoting the standards to fix it. We toss in JavaScript gizmos to attempt to improve the UI to desktop standards, but these gizmos are clunky and browser-version-sensitive. Maybe the desktop era tools were artistically ugly, but much easier to develop and maintain. PHB's seem more swayed by UI eye-candy than practicality. It's great job security, but hugely wasteful. Our industry needs some deep soul-searching.
Freedom of expression doesn't mean freedom from consequences - just not from government.
The Constitution doesn't define "natural born citizen" but the majority of scholars take it to mean "citizen by virtue of birth" rather than "citizen by virtue of naturalization."

I have no idea why you're talking about IVF children, they aren't legally different from naturally conceived children.
I give Musk a little bit more credit than brutely calling someone a pedo without any proof. If you are as rich as Musk, there must be someone you can pay to dig up dirt on your opponents. Now there may be more trouble in showing that proof than settling. 400k is nothing for Musk, but principles and hurt ego are priceless.
Indeed. I'm a historian of medicine and sometimes think that premodern healers get a bad rap. Yes, some of the cures you find in medieval or early modern medicine are absurd (like "bleeding until syncope"). But once in awhile you run into something like this, from a 17th century Portuguese physician named Duarte Madeira Arraiz:

"They spread the sickness throughout the world, each army bringing it to its respective country... and it was related by Christopher Columbus of his discoveries in the Occidental Indies to the King of Spain, that in the lands he discovered he encountered many Indian men and women who suffered from the disease of the morbo gallico [syphilis], and so those among the soldiers and men of arms who had communication with the Indian women and with the 'mulheres publicas' of the land easily spread this contagion to the greater part of the Spanish army, and from thence, to the French."

He comes pretty close to anticipating germ theory here, arguing that syphilis was sexually transmitted and correctly theorizing that it had New World origins and was spread by European colonization. These people weren't dumb.
People say this all the time, but I absolutely do not see it. The main subreddits are troll cesspools and the ones that are interest-specific are generally not nearly as good as other purpose-built communities on the internet. For any topic I have significant personal experience with, the general discussion on most subreddits seem to me to be amazingly uninformed, and I am sure that pattern is not limited to the tiny part of the world I know well.
