Yes it’s just css. The hard part is deciding what colours things should be. How thick to make the borders, and when to add them. What sizes and colours and fonts for the different bits of text. How to lay it out.

This sort of design fits nicely into css and html without much hackery but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to design.

Do you have any sites specifically that were causing you problems? I've not run into any issues myself with flash sites, netflix, amazon, hulu, etc.

A general point: it's important to adjust one's interpretation of salary by factoring in things like cost of living. Software engineers in New York and San Francisco make more money on average than those in other parts of the world, but it's very expensive to live, especially at a respectable standard of living, in both of these cities, dramatically offsetting the jump in salary. London is, of course, also very expensive, so I imagine my comment may not be quite as relevant.

False. Nimble installs packages only in the current user's home.

It's one of the few package managers that does not encourage the dreadful "sudo pip/npm/... install"

The joke in the Soviet Union was that everyone was breaking some law at any time, but the state usually looked the other way --unless they wanted to detain you, then of course, they would no longer "look away" but rather apply all laws to the fullest extent.

So, the main point isn't to bad mouth the old USSR, but to demonstrate why the option you present is unworkable.
I was in the same boat after 4 years of working and built a simple side project that solves a clear problem and now has several hundred thousand MAU (https://onthegomap.com) and costs a few hundred dollars a month to run.

My question is on logistics: Adsense brings in a bit less than expenses. Many users have expressed interest in supporting the project financially. Any recommendations on services to let people do that? One person recommended Patreon but that seems more geared towards artists.

In rural New Mexico, EMTs can do finger sticks and King airways and epi injections and certain other interventions that normally require a medic because our transport times are long. But yeah, we also do ECGs all the time.

What worries me is that a 1-lead ECG is not worth much. If a 12-lead is only 90% accurate, a 1-lead is bound to be much worse.
This depresses me greatly. Is this inevitable?

I doubt BFR even exists outside of graphics renditions. You shouldn't believe everything Elon says, given that he is obviously biased towards his company and has a vested interest in generating hype for it. And people for some reason lap it up no matter how unreasonable and utterly idiotic his claims. Don't forget, Elon's credibility is at an all time low. SpaceX has yet to put a man or woman on ISS or even LEO. Mars colonization is well beyond their technical capabilities even if there is a market for it. No matter how much Elon may want it. Wishing something to be true doesn't magically make it true, otherwise Carmen Electra would be my wife right now.

NASA for example didn't start by putting a man on the moon. Space exploration is a dangerous, slow, expensive, stepwise process. They did mercury, gemini, and then finally Apollo. And even before landing on the moon there were many flights prior to that. Some were on earth, testing the capabilities of the LEM in LEO, some were on the ground, and some were in lunar orbit like Apollo 8. We are nowhere near the technical capabilities of Mars colonization and if Elon implies that we are, ask for hard evidence of the capabilities of his technology rather than just drinking the Kool aid. Having a great vision doesn't mean you can execute on it.

>but that none of them are the three that are mentioned up-thread.

Not sure if cosmology is some exception (I guess one could find specialist universities in all kinds of subjects), but overall those three as exactly ranked as the top three, ranked by papers, quality, citations, patents, etc, here, across all kinds of fields:

"To compile the 2017 ranking of the world’s most innovative universities, Clarivate Analytics (formerly the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters) began by identifying more than 600 global organizations – including educational institutions, nonprofit charities and government-funded labs – that publish the most academic research. Then they evaluated each candidate on 10 different metrics, focusing on academic papers (which indicate basic research) and patent filings (which point to an institution’s ability to apply research and commercialize its discoveries), and ranked them based on their performance."

why don't we ban complaining about the semantics of "AI" too. Just about every thread on AI has someone saying that it's just layered regression or some similar rank dismissal. It's like saying calculus is just applied limits, true enough but not enlightening or useful.

imo I'm fine with any of these being called "AI"

- neural nets, deep or otherwise

- any classical ml techniques like decision trees, svm etc.

- any classical nlp techniques or tools

- "modern" nlp, eg. glove, fasttext etc

After living in Beijing for 5 weeks earlier this year, I can say, not only the internet, just all of China. It's very tough to run a business in China as an outsider. Eventually, the government will sponsor a domestic company to replace your business and push you out with regulation and licensure.

This is a double-edged sword for Chinese companies. They are assured a domestic monopoly, and given the population of China, that's a very big one. However, when said companies try to compete in a global marketplace, they struggle without their government-sponsored monopoly.
No, I was asking to figure out if I should switch! When I look up their differences this is what I see, which makes me hesitant, so I'm wondering if it's an actual problem or not.
Both are really important. Single causes to explain gradual changes in state of complex adaptive systems are rarely correct. Listing your top ten reasons in order or with percent importance attached, would be a more insightful dialogue.
Have you tried it after the quantum engine change? It’s insanely faster than before.
> "much more usable "

It always worked well, but there are many newer developments around operations and scaling that finally made it much easier to run. Even now there are some limitations with logical replication and horizontal scaling but the main system can easily be installed and running in a few commands to serve most users just fine.

It should be noted that the rise of Docker containers and K8S has also helped greatly in letting users run all kinds of software with minimal work.
I love Postgres, but the only thing I find myself wishing for was better Unicode support in the regex engine. I like to add strong database constraints, and sometimes lean on the regexp engine but I find it's missing a lot of features available in other regexp engines. PCRE compatibility would be ideal, but even just support for the Unicode \p classes would be a big step up.

This reminds me of Peter Woit, a theoretical physicist who has written a book on "Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations", asking if QM is a probabilistic theory.

https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10533

By the way, this example illustrates the point I made in another comment: you can have a long career in physics and even become professor of theoretical physics without ever caring about the interpretation of QM.

Edit: I can't resist copying the opening of a recent comment in that thread.

> most of them are not even able to install two versions of the same library

That's entirely by design.

Distributions exist to provide a set of packages that are well tested, and work reliably, together.

And then guarantee that such set will stay the same and receive timely security updates for 3 or 5 or more years so that people can reliably use it in production.
Clarification: Don't reinvent the wheel means Don't exactly copy another product. It's damn important to reinvent defensible products that either, and hopefully do all of:

a) solve a slightly different problem

b) target different users

c) solve the problem in a 10x better, compelling way

Uniqueness will be added to the collective, so don't bother creating categories because that requires extra effort building validation from below zero and any new products coming along can execute much easier with the lessons and improvements of the "settlers."

I had an instinctual gut reaction against this, because it really does feel like it crosses a line between browser and content that shouldn't be crossed.

BUT -- I know a lot of regular (non-technical) users who are terrified of logging into shared/public computers with their Google accounts, because they can't tell the difference between logging in/out of Gmail and logging in/out of Chrome, and they've experienced/heard horror stories of people leaving one logged in when they log out of the other.

I just tried it, and logging out of my Gmail also clearly logs me out of my Chrome (with a big message), which feels like a big win for peace of mind for most users.

So as much as it bothers me as a "power user"... I actually think this is a big improvement in conceptual simplicity for the average user. (And power users can figure out how to use multiple profiles for multiple Google accounts.)

There was a story [1] here just a few days ago where the culprit seemed to be that Chrome Sync had been set up with the daughter's EDU account and it was saving passwords for the parent's banking account, and presumably this will help avoid that kind of mix-up.

Yep the whole thing is a total scam. My local Coles (Australian supermarket) is 100% staffed by overseas people who did a degree (mostly accounting from my informal questioning) here in Australia and who got PR via this degree.

Something isn’t right when you’re considering lawsuit potential when making patient care decisions.

I stand by my argument that a GP prescribing an anticoagulant based solely on an iWatch having detected a-fib is grossly negligent (just as—in keeping with my earlier comparison—he would be if he prescribed an anti-hypertensive to a patient who stated they had a BP of 180/120 at home one time).

I’m not entirely sure why you docsplained that 12-leads cannot bend spacetime and that a Holter monitor would be likely be ordered to detect intermittent arrhythmias over a longer period of time, but thanks. Can I claim CE hours for this?
There is no "media deconstruction" happening. All they do is play cable news clips and give their uninformed and often offensive commentary. Zero journalistic work of any kind, just idiotic hot takes shot from the hip.
I'm curious, in your experience, (and I am curious - not being argumentative), how socially connected do you find the citation graph to be?

A while back, I was mapping innovation diffusion, as indicated by papers and patents and hiring company's R&D budgets and ROI on said investment and the like, and I was surprised at how much innovation spreads through folks that know one another, as opposed to papers that anyone could (in theory) read. I have to guess that people would similarly cite papers of people they know (maybe even of the same lab?). Do you think that has any effect on the score that you are pointing me towards?
You’re right that people being displaced by gentrification don’t have a birthright to continue living in their neighborhood. The problem is that the people displacing them do have a birthright - the birthright to anyone’s neighborhood, anywhere in the world. Do you also feel like that is a problem, or do you only object to “birthrights” for poor people who depend on their neighborhood for support and sometimes survival?
You didn't miss anything, that's what the show is.
To add the obligatory quote of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

Yeah, I don't get it. People put all this time and effort into something and then murder it, and post their "self-fulfilling victimhood apology letter" "why we shutdown and left our customers twisting in the wind."

Build something that doesn't cost much to keep going and let it simmer at least 5x longer than you think. And, make copyright dates self-updating. ;) Furthermore, if it's not losing copious amounts of money, pivot, restructure it or sell it to somebody else.

Shutting down usually == disrespecting money.

"The process of flattening out a program involving local function de finitions, possibly
with free variables, into a program consisting only of global function de finitions, we call lambda lifting"

I can't say I support your attempts to link "lifting" with some kind of motion of free variables. Variables, which were free in the function to be lifted, got their values from some enclosing scope. They still do, it's just that the binding is now explicit rather than lexical. The variables haven't moved, the plumbing has just changed.

I was responding to a comment, sorry if this message got lost. Companies who do not spend their money according to stockholder wishes get sued, correct? For misuse of funds?

My post was attempting to explain that I consider it a gross misuse of corporate funds to not spend excess cash-on-hand on projects to reduce the effects of climate change on humanity. To me, it is clear that a corporation wishing to maximize profit must address climate change or risk being sued for misuse of their funds.

> Do you own any stocks? Even holding a broad exchange fund makes you a stockholder.

No I do not own any stocks.

There's no need to be rude. I stand by my words. I have no resources or funds or stocks to give me the standing to approach this topic with a corporation or lawyers. I just get by every month. There's no need to insult my opinions and call my description and opinions 'lip service'. I'm being serious, no need to belittle me.
Kenyan Winemaking Startup: The adventures of Mukami the Masaailand Winemaker
On of the most succesful EU businesses (spotify) does not seem to support the assertion that VAT is a undue burden. Also I don't know if spotify uses their own tech or if they are uses stuff from another vendor.

Do also remember that all your competitors are bound by the same rules, so from a purely economical standpoint prices in a given country with VAT will just appear x% higher accross the board, and then the real question is more of disposable income.

To be perfectly honest I am no expert in VAT, but I do know that a country like Denmark with 25 % VAT is also ranked in the top 5 countries to do business in.

Also don't know what you mean by "As a business you stll have to buy stuff to recover VAT" but oh well maybe you can clarify.
So. f'ing. what.

Narcissistic followers of reality-show fascists are free to leave. More the merrier.
They don't have a birthright to a place any more than those displaced. Do you honestly think the displacers want, more than anything else, to live in a very expensive apartment in San Francisco? If they have some birthright to "anyone's neighborhood," why aren't they all living in mansions on the beach? The only birthright we agree on is the right to resolve disputes according to the rules of our government. Money provides a way to mediate the situation where two people want the same thing without them having to shoot each other over it. I much prefer the model where the mode of competition is economic benefit rather than "ability to be born in a good position."
I don’t believe that your clarification of the point you quoted is correct.

It sounds more as if the commenter wanted to point out that it is better to outsource/Saas chat, login, design and the likes to some external service instead of wasting time on it initially.

With that said - I believe you have a point in what you stated. A lot of products came out as a better copy of another product.

As a former academic yes the universities know this is happening and apply great internal pressure to ensure it continues so the gravy train keeps going. It is a very bad idea for your career to try to do something about this by identifying the cheats.

The hard sciences are pretty immune to it at the undergraduate level (we have exams), but it is totally rampant in the economics/commerce/arts facilities. Where the hard sciences have issues is at the postgraduate level where you are expected to ensure all your overseas students graduate even if they can't write in English and know next to nothing about the topic. After you have been through an incoherent thesis draft for the fourth time you know it is going to be quicker to just write it yourself.
