1) Amazon 20B
2) Alphabet 15B
3) Samsung 13B
4) Intel 12B

No other industrial company is in the top 10. Tesla is at a tenth of VW in total R&D.

It really isn't for everyone. If I decided to pack it in tomorrow, I'd still do a lot of the same things I do today albeit with more pure pure leisure mixed in. I realize I'm in a privileged position in that regard but nonetheless that's how it is for me.
I got vaccinated against rabies in 2010. It was 3 shots at $300 each if I remember right. It was hard to find a clinic that stocked it. I live in Colorado, I think only two clinics in the state had it. Note that is for pre-exposure shots, not post-exposure.

It's not a common vaccine, typically it is only given to vets and vet techs. I think that is a public health decision - rabies exposure is very rare in the United States.

I was getting it because I was going to Peru for a caving expedition. It probably wasn't necessary for me, but the travel pharmacist said it could get it due to possible stray dog exposure in remote Peru and possible bat exposure in caves. I never saw a single bat in the caves there. But since the travel pharmacist recommended it, my
insurance paid, which was nice.
No competition to what? Are you under the impression that all media in the UK is produced by the BBC?
I think it's because web design used to be a branch of graphic design, and now it's not - it's now a branch of web development.

Designs for websites were made in photoshop by creatives. Now designs for websites are made by front end engineers, or UX consultants.
Liquid water is certainly denser than air, and the fact that it vaporizes before rising up into the atmosphere is immaterial to the point that it ends up there anyway. The process (evaporation and subsequent fluid mixing) is not significantly different from the process which puts ozone in the upper atmosphere.

Sorry, you've lost me here, in what seems like an extreme case of No True Scotsman. Just a few weeks ago, Saudi Arabia was the major news story for allegedly sending a hit squad to secretly murder its own citizen -- a man not charged with a crime but happened to be a vocal critic of the regime -- in its own embassy. Nevermind the convoluted attempt at a coverup, nevermind the regime that operates completely on nepotism.
Most platforms already do.
I don't think this is true. I think designs get copied from websites which are successful (in all ways, not just design), because people have positive feelings with those designs, and also because using them requires a learning effort. It doesn't mean, however, that the designs themselves are best.

Those were the days. When Hess wrote The Glass Bead Game, Mann gave us The Magic Mountain, Camus had The Plague, and Kafka ...

Yet what remain closest to me from my days of enjoying their writings is just an essay by Herman Hess titled "Thou Shalt not Kill". Hess, the man and his times, seems to unravel its depth and mystery here. (And Mann's short story, "A Man and his Dog" has a similar staying power for me)

I wonder if it would be helpful to describe the indentation level you are on:

e.g:

def method_here(value): # Indentation level 0
x = 10 # Level 1
y = 5 # Level 1
if x == value # Level 1
print 'x!' # Level 2
elif y == value # Level 1
print 'y!' # Level 2

You could maybe even throw in a block number so it's clearer.
I think he left SEO as a reason out of this article. We're now building websites as much for humans as for google crawlers to read them, which means meeting standards of accordance in order to even participate in the SEO game. H1, H2, H3 tags, layout, and content headers don't have to look the same or be layed out or structured the same, but many sites have deviated from these formats at their own peril only to return to the warm embrace of conformity. Not to mention that Amp is basically a design standard as much as a content standard.
Speed of PHP 7 is much improved, it's way faster than 5, and fast enough for any app (Facebook runs on a flavor of PHP)

I use the Laravel Framework on PHP 7, Laravel makes PHP nice to work with. Laravel is as enjoyable as Rails, sure you miss Ruby but Laravel keeps development fun. If you are doing a project in PHP use Laravel.

I use forge.laravel.com to spin up servers and do deployments. It saves a ton of time and is definitely worth it. You could use it for any PHP project not just Laravel. There is also envoyer for zero downtime deployments. You setup Forge to pull code from from your Github/Bitbucket.

Forge is really amazing you can register a new domain, create a new Laravel project, and have it live on the web in 10 minutes. You can also add Lets Encrypt SSL certs right from the forge dashboard. Same for setting up an existing project from scratch it's fast to create a new droplet for an existing project.

If you are using Laravel I would recommend updating your apps as new versions of Laravel are released. Each update is pretty painless but if you wait to update doing them all at one time to get to the latest version can take some time.

There are lots of great time saving Laravel packages out there most require you to keep Laravel close to the latest release so it's worth staying up to date for the packages. Plus each release of Laravel always has nice additions to the framework.
When Things Get Wild
Would seem to me that there should be a way, with smaller, standardized designs, to pre-fab most of the precision stuff and just assemble it on site. The things that are hard about older designs are the need for very strong, perfectly cast concrete for the high pressure containment vessel, and the high-pressure precision-welded plumbing for the reactor coolant.

The nonradioactive steam handling, turbines and electrical generators should be quite similar to what's used in conventional coal/natural gas plants.
I wouldn't say that that allowing fringe voices has been occasional. Nigel Farage has had a very disproportionate number of appearances on Question Time alone.

More recently the BBC allowed Arron Banks to defend himself publicly against legal charges of election interference in a way which might well bias a trial.

I find it funny how people are so ready to believe the universe must be computing the same way our models must. The universe simply exists - it's not necessary for it to adhere to our human perceptions - not be a long shot. There's a vast gulf between the model and the modeled. That our theories quickly become uncomputable says more about their unfitness than the universe's functioning. To say otherwise is to negate the fundamental autonomy of the universe. We should be humbled by the universe precisely because our best models to understand it quickly diverge to where our minds and tools may not.
Because of Bootstrap. Everyone uses it. Every old website that looked different in the past, now does a UI refresh (by just using Bootstrap out of the box with minimal customisation) and becomes another one of those the same looking websites.
Lie groups come up very naturally in synthetic differential geometry (SDG) (http://www.fuw.edu.pl/~kostecki/sdg.pdf). In fact, the main advantage of SDG over the classical formulation of differential geometry is that it can be developed in a largely coordinate free fashion and that you can talk natively about differential forms.

That said, there is a design space here and while SDG is close enough to ordinary mathematics that you can explain it to high-school students, it might not be the best fit for developing modern physics. There are several different approaches (e.g., working in the internal language of a "synthetic differential infinity-topos") which seem promising. It's an area of active research and one that is still extraordinarily difficult to get into.
Java is the most popular language of the JVM ecosystem, but not the only one. If I were to restart from scratch, I would seriously look into Kotlin, which is how Java should have been.

> I think if you’re a destination country you’re better off with brains than culture.

But the brains still exist. If a doctor in Mexico cures cancer, it's still cured. The difference is that the money doesn't go to a company in the US rather than one in Mexico, which contributes to wealth inequality. It other words, it hurts people in Mexico more than it helps people in the US -- who, again, still get the cure, they just have to pay the country that raised the person who created it.

It's not even clear that this is a net loss for the US, because other countries will be more inclined to invest in education and research when they expect to internalize more of the financial benefits -- which increases the positive externalities (like the existence of a cure).
Now looking back, I'd say the entire Bridge Trilogy was remarkably prescient. Especially so when you consider how SF / society has been transformed over the past couple of years. Worth a re-read.
I'm not confident that's an issue. The press usually takes the party line anyway. In any case where the press feels compelled to not take the party line (it's happened now and then), they've spoken out. I think if the press felt it necessary, they could do a "special" presentation when they feel necessary.

Honestly, I don't see a lot of difference between them and the way Sean Hannity blatantly takes the Trump line. The difference is that in the US, there's diversity of press and so diversity of opinions. I'm not confident there was ever diversity of press in China in the first place, so I'm not sure how much this changes. Maybe if the entire press cycle gets completely automated with no human oversight at all, OK. But I imagine there will always be human oversight, just because they don't want things to go off the rails. That's what happens right now.

And if we reach the singularity, I'm sure an AI would have more guts to stand up and say what's on their mind than a human would.

Right, but my reply to the parent was that Node isn't a performance improvement over C because it has async, when the async part is written in C. JS popularity has led to some wild claims. Never thought I'd live to see the day someone proposed a JS runtime would be more performant than C for writing operating systems.

You are right, its probably no longer recommended because they use a "modified Milwaukee protocol" now. That being said the MP is a last ditch effort and often fails. Its just the best option we have if someone is outside of the window for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Treatment success rates:
Vaccination: ~100%
PEP: ~100%
MP: ~8%

So MP provides a slightly less than 1/10 chance for life when the patient would face otherwise certain death.

DeX, WSL, Crostini, all experiments for a simple purpose: steal users freedom and offer FOSS code in a proprietary jail to avoid direct competition against FOSS.

IOW be prepared to find in the next 5/8 years PCs with Windows kernel and basic userland as a UEFI fw and "Linux" (GNU actually) software available and offered via Microsoft store. Also be prepared to find mobile devices dockable with the same offer from Samsung etc. The end of freedom.

That's is a clear demonstration of the need of mandate by law free software and open hardware: having free software is not enough if we do not have hw to run it directly.

But what is "authoritarian culture", in the context of authoritarian regime? I'm not an expert on Japanese culture, but does the emperor still have power to set the norms and the punishment?

I would say it is the response by any group in power, corporate, politics, whatever.

Correct, both the technique described in that article and the feature that eventually wound up in GNU make only disentangle output from concurrently executing build processes. With significantly more work GNU make could probably be made to enforce a deterministic order.

However, Electric Make does emit the output in a deterministic order, in fact in exactly the same order as the build would have produced had it run serially. In practice the delayed output is not such a big deal -- people just don't really seem to care that much, when the build overall finishes 20x - 30x faster than it used to. Electric Make also generates an annotated build log, essentially an XML-marked-up version of the log, which contains a tremendous amount of additional information about the build and vastly simplifies debugging, actually.

Have you looked into projectional-editing? The basic idea is that your code is stored not as text, but as data. The data is then projected into a textual format for editing.

128 GB doesn't work because it doesn't scale well with age.

You can run MacOS or Windows on 256 GB almost indefinitely, even as they grow it would be five or more years before it becomes a headache, to keep 128 GB happy you have to babysit/rebuild semi-regularly.

I'm yet to see an OS which doesn't bloat as it ages, even on mobile devices. 30 GB free won't be 30 GB the next major OS update, including rollback files, logs, and so on. OS bloat is also one of the few things you cannot offload to external storage.

And I'm someone that ran off of a 128 GB SSD for almost two years.

Apple Mountain ski slopes to remain closed for 'foreseeable future'
The places where bats are the main rabies infection vector are generally places where rabies is extremely rare[1], such as the US with 1-2 cases per year. ~99% of human rabies cases globally are from dogs[2], unsurprisingly these are mostly in places where dogs are not usually vaccinated.

International call rates.

Recently this has been unified throughout Europe, including removing roaming charges for data, but calling from/to outside Europe is still very expensive. Even sending text messages (and receiving, which is normally free) is expensive. Thus Skype. And it's also cool to have a Skype-in number in Japan[1], which will be forwarded to your Skype account wherever you are, or to your phone if you're offline (if so configured). That's nice when you have very old family members who prefer to use a (local) phone call to get in touch. So Skype covers some use cases which I can't easily cover by other means. For the "normal" communication which doesn't involve a phone I mostly use other tools nowadays though.

[1]With the restriction that Japan only allows Skype-in numbers if you're a resident.

In my experience, the BBC tends to err on the side of opposition. It doesn't seem to matter who is in power... I'm speaking as someone who has lived in Canada for the past 18 years and has been subject to U.S. TV for that long.

I find the BBC really refreshing because they don't hyper sensationalize everything. The news is presented as if it's factual objective (not to say that it is, but it appears to be) and understated, much like the stereotypical English person.

When I watch British TV, I get a very definite feeling that I'm being persuaded to draw my own conclusions, whereas American TV, I'm blatantly being fed an opinion and told what I'm supposed to be thinking which I still after 18 years find incredibly irritating.

I heard that about it not being recommended too but find it to be one of the stupidest things in medicine ever. Because while it's no longer recommended, the only other "treatment" is painkillers and wait until the patient is dead which has throughout history had a fatality rate of >99.99%

So yeah I really don't understand why any doctor wouldn't want to try the Milwaukee protocol. Even if it had 99% fatality rate it would still be a huge improvement and afaik it's more like 80-90% i.e. from 10 tries it worked twice or so. Also there are plenty of small changes to it that might make a difference. We just don't know, we do know however that untreated rabies is fatal in the closest to 100% fatality of any disease ever known.

Hell, rabies (post the 24h post exposure vaccination period) has a higher fatality rate than lethal injection and the electric chair!

That's the point though. Without something actually tangibly valuable (IE gold), backing every paper dollar, there is no real value to the dollar anymore. There is value, but its constructed value. And we all know what goes up must come down.
