All right, let me put it this way. Without the money, it doesn't get built. The project managers, engineers, architects, and construction crews (plus the steel workers' local) aren't going to have a bake sale and come up with the money. If there's going to be a steel mill, the owner has to do something - at least write the checks plus hire someone to be the general contractor, and someone else to be the plant manager once it's built.

And the owner has to have at least a reasonable chance of getting paid back for their investment. They're not building a steel mill as a charity. So if you don't let the owners make money off of their steel mills, then you don't get any steel mills. Whose life does that make better?

[Edit: And letting the owner make as much as the janitor isn't going to cut it. The owner is putting in hundreds of millions of dollars; letting them get back $15/hour is a completely inadequate return for the level of risk they are taking.]
How did she get a BM ticket so fast for herself and her mom?
This is not just with hardware. It annoys me no end that there's a big "BUY NOW" button on Amazon when you're looking at an ebook, but with their digital restrictions management, you are really only leasing the ebook.
Good looking piece of software.

I know QT is this big powerful thing, but where does this fit in compared to QtQuick/QML/QtCreator and so on? My frame of reference is .NET desktop development FWIW, but this looks like some cross between VS Blend and Adobe Flash/Animate.

I'm pretty sure that is incorrect, can someone please enlighten me?
Shouldn't those things be factored into the "inflation adjusted" calculation? (housing, healthcare, student loans...)
See my other comment...Star probably was attending burning man before this guy was. She knew more about it than him.

Also if you were into burning man since 2006, the event then was less about “bacchanalia” and “free love”. This was before it was mainstream for techies, when cheap tickets could be bought anonymously with cash at the entrance, and when you could even more believably show up in “conservative” clothes and be into it for the art and maker culture. If the victim was a man I doubt their style of attire would be mentioned, but for Star the author needs to clarify for their audience that she wasn’t there for the scanty costumed photoshoots that so many associate with burning man now. She’s a hardware engineer and well known maker. Is it that hard to believe she actually likes it for the art and everything that gets created that week? Networking for a Google X job was probably just a bonus.
Well, if in her view, it was just a nametag and not a scary piece of technology, then I think it's reasonable to not understand why anyone would be uneasy. Did people wearing google glasses back when that was a thing respond to everyone who harassed them about it? If you were walking with your phone in your hand and someone came up to you accusing you of trying to bomb them, would you bother responding or just roll your eyes and keep walking?

Or other similar airport stories I've read of people in an airport terminal remoting into work being accused of hacking because scary linux terminals are the tools of hackers who are trying to hack planes and crash them. If that happened to me, I'd probably ignore the person while thinking to myself "what the fuck is this guy's problem, have they never seen a computer before"
This is obviously applicable only in the US jurisdiction, but do any IP experts know how similar or different the self-repair situation is in the EU?

Am just interested if this may have the momentum to become a somewhat global "norm"

The actual framing of issues like this as a cost-benefit is much closer to the root problem.

Make these decisions more expensive? Sure. But the deeper problem is doing this kind of financial calculus in the face of monstrous moral behavior.

I thought you were referring to the relativity of simultaneity. I'm glad you insist on the FTL communication issue, maybe now I will be able to convince you that there is no issue at all...

> The answer to 2 and 3 must be "yes" if you want to avoid FTL (because otherwise Bob could determine whether or not Alice has performed measurements).

The answer to 2 is "no". If Alice has not performed any measurement, the N "B" particles that Bob has are not in a pure state. They are a subsystem of the N (indentical) entangled pairs formed by the N "A" particles that Alice has plus the corresponding N "B" particles that Bob has (let's call that state E).

So, depending on whether Alice has done the measurement or not, what we have is (I undertstand you don't really accept this description, it's for the sake of the argument where you will try to show how this description is unacceptable):

Measurement not done
Pairs remain entangled
The N particles held by Bob are not in a pure state
(The A/B pairs are in a pure state E)

Measurement done
Pairs are no longer entangled
The N particles held by Bob are each in one definite state P or P' or P'' or P'''
(Alice knows the precise state of Bob's particles, she knows how to rotate each particle to get the state P)

You say that, before any message from Alice can reach Bob, he can determine wheter or not she has performed the measurement.

Can you explain how? (Hint: no, you cannot.)
Deere infamously has a EULA for their equipment that forbids farmers from breaking DRM, thereby locking them into first-party parts and service. Notwithstanding the jacked-up costs of first-party parts and service, this policy idles farm equipment at very inconvenient times, occasionally ruining the luckless owner of Deere equipment.
That, to me, is what really seals it all as ridiculous. My parents had the standard of living they had with only my father working and in a fairly normal government job.

That as enough to support my mom and 2 children while also saving for retirement.

That standard of living now would require both parents working and being rather successful in their white collar careers. Even as a reasonably successful person in an advantaged field (tech), I can't imagine supporting an entire family.
There are a lot of aspects of Starcraft which make it superior, not only the fact that there is no redundancy, every unit is unique, and they all have special abilities, which are unique. Each race is also different. The gameplay is much smoother and responsive for micro. Basically you can tell they’ve really thought about the game design and continued to polish it, even today.

That said I would love to have zooming in SC2, no idea why it’s not available, it’s already in the engine for replays.
A lot of code is 1-2 years old.

As someone with a son diagnosed officially by a professional, myself & older brother believe we are both on the spectrum but not as much as my son. He is verbal, but has quirks commonly called stimming. He hums a lot and will flap his arms when being visually or audibly stimulated.

My brother & I have read up on it quite a bit, and think that it's a combo of genetics triggered by environmental sources. There is a similar gene that is related to ADD, Bi-polar & Schizophrenia. Which we all have the first 2 of the 3.

My father, & his father were both mechanics, with my father's brother who showed the most signs of being possible autistic as well.

It does appear to skip around. I've a younger son also who was born way early in my life at 19. He doesn't show much signs of it. My younger brother doesn't either nor younger half sister.

It's a strong correleation for me personally that it's definitely genetic but seems to vary on some triggering factor in gestation or the tech environment of today's constant barrage of stimulation. The rise in diagnosis correlates to mass farming also on large scales. But also correlation doesn't mean causation.

I'd agree it's genetic, but with multifaceted triggers which is like cancer that could cause or trigger either.

I've also considered it's just our evolutionary path to a more tech geared world. I would be curious to see the rates of autism in 3rd world or outside untainted tribes.

There's been a larger push for evidence-based medicine over the past decade or two. I'd love it if our criminal justice system was more evidence-based and focused solely on reducing crime/suffering/injustice and better rehabilitation. Many police departments fall into the trap of using number of arrests as their KPI, because that's easier to measure than outcomes.

Serial season 3 has had good discussion on minimum sentencing and judges who sentence based on whims, not on what's effective.
White male coal miners, it could be argued, have had a lot less privilege than a Bobo Stanford grad female accountant. Nancy Pelosi has had a heck of a lot more privilege than some laid off Detroit auto worker.

Elizabeth Holmes, who’s father was Christian Holmes IV, a former Vice President of Enron, was a lot more privileged than pretty much anyone reading this now.

The idea that gender alone determines privilege is ridiculous. It’s far more complex. Yet hiring a pedigreed Elizabeth Holmes would be “diversity” but hiring some West Virginia white male community college grad from a coal miner family would be “Privilege.” That’s ridiculous. Hiring a black Princeton grad is “diversity” but hiring a white University of El Paso grad is “privilege.”

If people really care about diversity, they’d hire for diversity of experience or diversity of thought rather than diversity of biology.
You're the one who drew the comparison between the Model T and horses, ignoring decades of automobiles in between. That struck me as you moving the goalposts.

Not to mention that even the Model T came out with handcrank-start, which involved manually retarding the spark timing so you don't spark before TDC and break your hand when the crank kicks back. Ford didnt offer electric start until after the first decade of production. And that's in an era where well over a hundred different automobile manufacturers were already in existence, the automobile had already circumnavigated the globe, and gasoline powered taxis were already hauling fares in Paris, London, and NYC.
I agree. Something about it just doesn't feel right to me. Like state is stored in a global singleton somewhere.

Any of the examples touch on testing components using hooks? Any chance using the same component across multiple tests would result in state collisions? Especially when testing something asynchronous?

"Of course the poorest people are more likely to gain in income -- when you start at the bottom, there's really only one direction you can go."

But doesn't this claim in itself refute the thesis that all the income gains are going to the top? If we find people at the bottom gaining income far faster than people at the top, which is what my quote claims, isn't that evidence that we live in a just society, not an unjust one?
The Huawei P20 shipped out in April with this feature -- I look forward to dxomark's analysis of the Pixel 3 phone compared to the P20, which currently remains on top: https://www.dxomark.com/category/mobile-reviews/

Upgrading from a 3-year old Samsung S6, where I could almost see the battery percentages drop off percent by percent, the P20 Pro's 4000 mAh battery has been great (too bad the wireless charging didn't appear until the new Mate P20 Pro).
Wow, and this was almost 5 years ago.
Right, and that's what I'm recommending we in general try to innovate on: better state management than React, but with the ease of writing view components that React has showed works well. Since the view is hierarchical, it makes sense for components to inherently also be hierarchical, but business logic often doesn't match up to React's component hierarchy, so it should not be done inside React or tied to React's hierarchy.
Is this even good quality? I imagine this is just the novelty.. and even that is quesionable to me.

Hit on women who only give you clear signs of attraction first and your life will be so much better on the relationships side of things, as well as avoiding nearly all the negatives. You don't usually get clear signs of attraction? Then work on yourself(diet, exercise, speaking lessons, dress better etc) and make yourself more attractive
That takes some level of hypocrisy - you are not making your Atlas as opensource, but you require others to do so.
This clearly indicates that you are using an opensource license as an extortion schema against competitors.
Congrats, you presented the one and only case where the manufacturers are right: Nobody should tamper with critical control systems.

Not all nerds have zero game.

It's easy to imagine someone who is not socially oriented and spends almost all of his time at work, thus not surrounding himself with an alternate circle of people with whom to have nonprofessional relationships, resorting to making a pass at a coworker.

Those of us who studied or work with CS types are 100% aware that there are some people in those circles who have trouble controlling inappropriate manifestations of sexual desire.

It's more "metoo" to think that all wealthy people who have relationships with subordinates are trying to exploit a power relationship for sexual gratification. But I think that just gives such people too much credit. The reality is sex is a basal drive and people often follow the path of least resistance. No food? Stealing bread starts to seem appropriate. No social life or game? Dating a subordinate starts to seem appropriate.

I see it more as incompetence than malice.

(And personally I think all mentally able adults should take responsibility for their own conscious and consensual decisions, instead of trying to blame the underlying dynamics of the situation.)
We’re basically limited by CPU performance which is necessarily single threaded since it’s synced to all players, plus it will run at the speed of the slowest player in the network.

Qt Widgets can be wired up graphically with QtDesigner but AFAIK that program does not work with QML, which is basically modern Qt.

So this looks like a design tool for creating QML interfaces. The animation parts come in because QML allows for embedding javascript so you can probably do all of that graphically now and get QML code out
You wouldn’t know who shared until someone doesn’t actually visit the shared link, right? Unless I’m misunderstanding something. Also I don’t see how you would build a custom audience on FB for the people who shared, e.g. by copy-pasting the URL from the location bar. I see how you would do it on some javascript event (e.g. page load, click on share button, etc.), but that’s not the same.

Having recently moved to US, I'm amazed at how backward fixed internet access is here and how first-class it is in SA. Fibre is rare even in urban areas, I specifically asked my estate agent to find someplace with Comcast competition at best and Comcast fibre at worst - she couldn't manage either.
Being tone-deaf means being unaware of what kinds of things would make others uneasy. If the world changed to the point that a phone like mine was easily confused with a bomb, then I would consider it tone-deaf for me to carry on in ignorance of this dynamic.

I think we're all on the same page about the shoddiness of being in the open source insurance business, but that is not what the SSPL is for, nor could it be used for that. We simply can't make the claim that any SaaS other than specifically MongoDB as a service derives primarily from MongoDB -- or rather, it it's possible to make the claim, but it's easier to defeat it.
I'm the director of a UK company, now resident in Denmark.

Unfortunately by moving to Denmark the company is viewed as having an office here.

I therefore work for and get paid from an ApS (Danish limited company) which is wholly owned by the UK Ltd.

This is called a 'datterselskab' in Danish. Look at Danløn for payroll.

There's way too much profit for shipping costs to be any sort of factor in this.

Spend a few hundred (even after losing a few shipments) and you can still easily make it back with one good shipment getting through.

Honestly, I think that the bombs getting sent to government officials is going to hurt things for them more than shipping costs would.

we'll see what the future holds though.
To be fair, I had to look it up to realize that the word implies that both parties are unmarried.

That needs a citation.

If you cut out everything we have they didn't - cable TV, Netflix, computers, internet, cafes, restaurants, Kindle, better choices in grocery food and alcohol - and ate the sort of cheap food people lived on, things like meatloaf and crappy ingredient dishes, I reckon it would be entirely possible.

The only thing that is prohibitively expensive today vs 1980 is housing. The reasons for that are multiple, but mostly NIMBYism.
Front-end devs need to first master the vanilla tools, then reach for the frameworks once they understand the why.

I'd like to see a build tool that focuses on plain HTML, CSS, and ES6 modules. It takes the input .html file, parses the <script type="module"> elements, and statically analyzes the code to polyfill and re-write output for specified browser compatibility.

I think part of the problem is that the intro tutorials for the fully loaded frameworks look so much simpler at a glance than trying to wrangle something on your own.

Anyone know of a QUALY-based analysis of the costs and benefits of using these fertilizers?

> I think you misunderstand investment.

I understand investment, I'm just telling you that your original statement is wrong. If you're an owner, you don't have to create any value to get paid. Mere ownership gets owners paid. Sure, they can actively invest if they want to, and they may be better off for it, but that kind of activity is strictly optional.
Couldn't agree more. I still listen to this soundtrack while working. :)
I think this is great. No-one is forcing you to implement this and if you do change a few colours here and there to benefit those users who use dark mode - it'd be hugely appreciated.

> The author Russ Roberts runs the EconTalk podcast and is a well respected economist/journalist/thinker in the field, definitely worth reading for a fair assessment.

I am starting to wonder if there is such a thing. I can respect an academic who writes scientific papers for their peers to review. I can respect an academic who has opinions of the state of the world. I can't respect someone who mixes the two. If you write something for an audience that can't asses the validity of your statement you are deliberately deceiving people. I can't respect that.

There is a reason why Piketty's book is 700 pages and certainly enough, both good and bad, have been said about it already. He isn't adding anything apparently noteworthy here. How does a normal person begin to explore all the "facts and figures" presented in the article. and how do you figure out if it is even valid to the overall discussion? The answer is that you don't, and the author knows this. It is dishonest.

When Neil Degrasse Tyson says that we should explore space his argument isn't a bunch of statistics on how it would benefit humanity 23.95%, even though I am sure he could come up with some. That is because he has made a career out of teaching people about space and hoping they will share his excitement, rather than being a politician telling people what to think.

So no, I really don't understand why I should listen to Russ Roberts.
