You are assuming they don't need or want the boots for any reason.

I've flow places with 4 laptops before, not because I think it's fun to inconvenience everyone in line, but because I needed them for where I was going.

If I was flying somewhere that I needed boots, I'd probably try to wear them to avoid having them pretty much take up most of my carry on space...
The article is interesting but I don't think we can draw too many conclusions yet due to Kepler's observational biases. For example, the similar size pattern seen may only apply to closely packed systems rather than more widely spaced ones, and we don't have a great deal of information on the latter type.
Yes, so my point was that the authors of UI frameworks perhaps don't care about mobile only.
This is very interesting!

But I've seen a lot of push back against this kind of thinking in some political groups. For example saying that you should follow norms of niceness when promoting a cause - people call that tone policing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_policing

You could say you should criticise the people who are tone policing rather than the people who are worked up about a cause that personally effects them so aren't managing to be very polite, but the problem is not the people who try to tone police you, it's the people who don't like your tone and don't criticise you for it - they silently just ignore your cause or vote against it.
The argument I think you’re alluding to is that rather than employees petitioning Amazon not to sell the government facial recognition technology, they should petition for Amazon (among others) to lobby government to restrict its use (data retention limits would be a start, I guess).

If nothing else, that would probably be more effective.

I doubt that any of the four sentences above are true in reality.
I've had this argument all day yesterday (on Discord, of course) about whether Steam can ever be dethroned, and your last sentence nails it on the head: while Steam has tried for a while to integrate social features into their store (and made a real mess of it), Discord is THE place where engaged gamers go to find a community.
I buy on Steam because I like the centralised hub for installing and uninstalling, but the discovery process is just horrible: most of the games that go on my wishlist come from suggestions from other players in the Discord servers I'm active in. I only spend on Steam the bare minimum time I need to manage my library.
I imagine that for a developer it must be a pretty good prospect, having the product for sale just a click away from where the discussion is; for me as a consumer the critical part will be how well the store works on mobile: I do 90% of my Discord activity on an iPhone, and if it's as frictionless as buying on Steam but with a better mobile experience, I will definitely give it a go.

So, trying to hunt these down.

Designing an Alpha Microprocessor first appeared in a magazine called 'Computer', Volume 32, Issue 7, July 1999. It was on pages 27-34, and written by Matt Reilly.

It has a a few citations [0]. (And though I owned a lot of them, I don't think I read this particular Issue.)

Members can buy it from the IEEE [0]. That appears to be the only recourse.

Hello everyone,

I would like to take advantage from your expertise to understand how we can improve our design phase.

Stated that we don't spend months or weeks on the design phase and that we iterate to improve, how do you generally design your features? And when do you require a design? What do you include in your design? Do you have a risk assessment section? And who is involved in the design of a feature?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Easy: it's implemented in C.

While the brain cells of the C programmers are busy handling errors, managing memory, and avoiding buffer overflow, they forget about sound software engineering rules and proper design. While the code of libssh looks cleaner than eg. FreeBSD, there are still quite a number of functions that are bigger than a screen height.

I remember in my PhD days (studying AI), having long conversations, exploring what it was for an AI to be intelligent. One strand we considered was around language and magic - the central idea we were playing with was that language and magic are intertwined - the role of sympathetic magic in manipulating reality bby manipulating symbols was tied to language as a representation of reality. So the idea of symbolic representation was a key indicator of intelligence.

It would also be amazing if more stone age art was found in underwater caves.
Given the amount of noise that politicians and law enforcement are making about WhatsApp - there's very good circumstantial evidence that their EndToEnd encryption works.

I am a nerd - I went through a phase of trying to get people to use PGP and then XMPP. Both are technical masterpieces but a complete disaster for actual users.

Here's the crux: I'd rather have all my conversations encrypted than just the ones I have with other nerds. In this respect WhatsApp has been the best thing that's happened to messaging since the invention of the internet.

'risk X' is a risk, and 'reducing risk X' is a field.

There is the (meta-)risk that you harm a field (the 'harming field Y' risk).

They're studying that (meta-)risk here, in an attempt to reduce it. The article is thus squarely in the 'reducing risk Z (of harming field Y (of reducing risk X)))' field.

Your misunderstanding of it poses certain risks, that this comment attempts to reduce, with a concomitant risk of failure, but that gets a bit complicated.

> In my case, I learned to “delete the subject line” and add a small new one that clearly tells the recipient what I want them to know. It turns out that this type of practice (which I developed during my years at Deloitte) is a good rule for high performers. Simplify your message and make it clear what you’re asking others to do. This, in turn, will elicit a faster response to your communication.

If you change the subject line, your email will get lost in my inbox since it will not be organized into conversations (I use gmail). I hate it when people (or systems) reply to my emails with a different (very generic in the case of automated systems) subject, to the point that I do not easily recognize what it is about.

I get that a dozen "FW"s are not easy to read. Get your email program fixed, but do not change the subject.
what I'm saying is we should assume that whatever mass surveillance mechanisms the government is trying to buy, it will eventually buy and whatever legal safeguards there are to protect us will eventually fail.

what I'm calling for is the individual to be "armed" with adversarial patches or whatever other tool it is that confounds facial recognition sytems. the only thing which is long term effective is a population which can and does resist. VPNs, encryption, cryptocurrency, and a bunch of other tech (existing and under research) will be the safeguard when all else fails.

Open source has nothing to do with data. If you think open source people don't care about privacy you know nothing about open source.

> That is not how we made our legislation work.

Wasn't it, though? I mean, laws are ultimately decided by vote (directly or indirectly). People are free to agree or not with death penalty, but it's hard to deny that being personally affected by a crime can influence our opinions on the subject. That's why death penalty still exists in several states.

Same with facial recognition tech. Despite the legitimate concerns about potential abuse from a government, people can acknowledge that it is an extremely valuable tool for crime investigation and thus law enforcement.

So in the end, it all depends on how bad people want an efficient police, and that can definitely depend on our individual experiences with crime.

About 90% of users use a browser that supports the latest spec in full [1], and IE11 supports an older version of the spec and requires `-ms-` prefixing (which we do output), so hopefully most simple uses of grid in Webflow will work for IE11 users. That said I wouldn't say we officially support "out of the box" CSS grid support in IE11.

Right now we have only implemented a _subset_ of the spec; we'll be doing a more thorough audit of IE11 support as we add support for more sophisticated grid features, as those are more likely going to need some kind of built-in fallback.

In the meantime I would encourage folks that need custom fallback behavior to harness site-wide custom code; Webflow outputs pretty straightforward HTML and CSS so it should be easy to manually create fallback styles.

Everybody's just praising lisp like it's the best language ever, yet very few people are actually using it - and I think it's because it's really easy to write smart code which has to be explained over and over again to new people (and to your future-you).

Sometimes you cannot avoid postponing merging, e.g. when the user is loses connectivity. It'd be interesting to read more on know how you handle longer periods of being offline, and how conflict resolution is done in that case.
Exactly. In principle even memory can be renamed, although I'm not sure any current CPU actually does it (there are rumors). It would be great if the actual SSA graph could be directly passed from the compiler to the CPU, but what's saved by getting rid of renaming would probably be used to handle the much harder decoding. It would probably have implications for context switching overhead.

The treaty is covering parcels up to 2 kg if I read the article correctly. Industrial scale shipments are in the order of 13 tons upwards to get full container loads. These rates are admittedly dirt cheap. But this is due to over-capacities and not some parcel shipments. I would assume certain online retailers stand to profit for that discision regarding customer order from China.

> Even with electronic voting machines it is rare to get enough privacy to hide attempting to tamper with the back of the machine like this article discusses.

An electronic voting machine could be tampered with well ahead of voting day. Verification hashes and the like are only aggregates that are open to trickery on the way to the humans checking them, the ground truth is impossible for a human to process. We cannot sense the state of a computer without its help. In contrast to this, the initial emptiness of a physical ballot box is very much in the realm of human senses, it's perfectly safe to leave them unattended until voting starts.
One-Storied America, unlike the other two books which are (humorous) fiction, is a travelogue of Soviet writers visiting the USA in the 30's. It's a fascinating account, and some editions include the photographs taken by one of the authors.

The thing that struck me the most is that many trivial observations they made about US in the same ones I made when I immigrated in the 90's. I'm talking mostly about everyday things: giant parking lots, drug stores that sell mostly not drugs, trucks that hold multiple new cars, fast food, etc. Amazing how little has changed and how old the modern everyday American way of life is.
The first half of that one certainly was very bad.

The sheer volume China, and other Asian countries, are producing in the electric industry pales any impact this treaty could have. I seems to me that this treaty gained significance due to e-commerce. Thus it impacts consumer orders, not industrial ones. So the only parties to be impacted are online retailers (and every private sender).

Not sure how that would impact the current global work-share in any measurable way...

DHT Algorithms are nice, the Chord is really simple and easy to understand.
I had no idea Haskell used 'kind' to refer to something codified and concrete in this way -- usually we see the word 'type' used to refer to the concrete type-systems stuff, and 'kind' to refer to the fuzzier, less precise idea of, uh, what it is the data is.

Type theorists say things like "Type systems let us reify what kind of data we are dealing with".

It's a bit like when Java took the fuzzy term 'interface' and made it a concrete technical concept, or when Apple added closures to Objective-C and called them 'blocks', which was previously a fuzzy term.

Will we have to start using another word to refer to the fuzzier concept, if not 'kind'? 'Sort' is already taken. 'Category' is already taken. Perhaps the 'nature' of the data?
The enrollment rates are absolutely central to the discussion. Demand is drastically higher in the US - partly due to a young population, partly due to the strong social stigma of not having a university education. Higher demand creates higher costs.

The figures given are for all postsecondary education. I'm not sure why this is a controversial statistic. The younger US population would mean that even if the same percentage of graduating secondary school students go on to university, the US enrollment percentages would still by higher. Coupled with a higher percentage of students that seek university degrees after finishing secondary education (~70% for the US as compared to ~50% for Germany as per some quick Google searches) and a total enrollment figure of twice the rate of Germany is about what one would expect.

And yet, if the profits can be prevented from all floating to the top, globalisation would appear on the surface to be an excellent way of redressing global inequality. Massive international wage gaps will be perceived by the market as an exploitable inefficiency, which over time will be ironed out.

Or, to put it another way, if two people wish to trade, it must be in both of their interests. If I, as a westerner, go to a third world country and buy a bunch of stuff that from my perspective is cheap but from their perspective is expensive, we both end up happy. What's so terrible about that?

(Of course where it falls down is where labor is cheaper because of poor worker protections and exploitative practices, in which case it constitutes an end-run around the labor laws of the richer party. But they are the ones that should be upset, not the poorer party, whose labor laws would be terrible regardless of exploitation)
Some proportion (between 25-75%, I'm not really sure) of restaurants in Britain do this.

At the bottom of the menu it says something like "A discretionary service charge of 10% will be added to your bill [for groups of (4|5|6) or more]"

Then it ends up like this: https://s3-media3.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/28hfOrBSZ1SYPD--tlNU...
