I stand by what I wrote. The human mind is generally not that rational and literal, especially when scanning a long list of headlines. The brain sees "$2500", "a day", subconsciously makes a connection that $2500 is more than the reader typically makes in a day, interest is created, link is clicked. No one proceeds to conclude that man is earning $912,500/year, but the connection is made and it's quite intentional from the headline writer.

Here's another example:

"Man makes $2500 in a day by buying a lottery ticket".

That is a weird sentence, because buying a winning lottery ticket is a discrete, non-reproducible event - so why include "in a day", unless it is to suggest something to the reader?

Or another one:

"Man makes $2500 in a day by winning competition after preparing for months" - you can see where I'm going with this.
How Google engineers build tools to share information in an emergency
I recently went through the hiring process at google and after the two pre-interview calls with HR, one full day of interviews and 4 follow up calls for team matching (matched with a team) as well as additional calls with hr to discuss compensation (where I was pressured to divulge competing offers) I didn’t pass the hiring committee. I think their process in general is not very considerate. Most of my interviewers barely introduced themselves, talked about what they do, or asked me anything about my experience. I also found out the day of my interview I was being considered for “l3” which is entry-level despite my 4 years of industry experience and was told it’s too late to change that and to be considered for a higher level I’d need to re-interview.
Printing one sheet costs around $0.15. The 50,000 he printed likely cost his targets a total of $7500. That’s second degree felony grand theft territory. Good luck.
This is actually a happy story, for a moment I was worried that the person got everything 3D-printed before they even got married.

A time to fast: review on the health benefits and metabolic effects of fasting
The average US male weighs 195.8lb and is 5'9" tall. The average German male weighs 181.7lb and is also 5'9" tall.

So Americans are either more muscular or more fat than Germans, either of which would make them larger.

Personal anecdote, my 6'3" friends have no problem fitting in my Porsche Cayman with several inches of headroom to spare, and that's about as short as German cars go. I think the Germans just prioritize vertical space in their cabins more than the Japanese.
Slightly off topic to your commment but... I’m actually concerned watching Google increasingly cut into it’s search results. It’s easy to justify it as one additional feature but take a look how search looked like 10 years ago to what it looks like today. Even companies who provided services in specific verticals are being axed overnight by Google adding a widget to search. Google reviews are growing exponentially in search importance and that’s becuase the priority and UI they can implement to highlight google reviews vs a traditional search result (yelp). The internet landscape will look completely different in the next 10 years.

Is it worth pursuing .net Core Razor Pages?
Is anyone out there adopting .net Core Razor Pages? If so can you give some insight as to what you like and dislike about it compared to MVC or WebForms? Seems to me that it is actually MVC just with a different way of magically connecting views to controllers. Kind of a mix between webforms and mvc? One concern I have is that even if it might be easier to use, if it’s not going to be a mainstream standard then it might not be best to pursue yet. Thoughts?

Gun No. 6: The untold story of Britain's deadliest illegal firearm
Merit-based visa system used by Canada and Australia should be preferred.

It is better for the country (more fluid job market; more long-term high-quality immigrants who will contribute more to social security and other social needs; increased competitiveness of companies and startups; larger tax base), the immigrants (more freedom to change companies), and the Americans (less need to compete with people accepting low wage to gain corporate sponsorship of a future permanent visa; more funding for social security).
Some politicians got together and agreed on it.

If the records are willfully destroyed by the reporter, the government could choose to file charges that go beyond "contempt of court" — Canadian law defines a "terrorist offence" to include, among others, accessory after the fact. The prosecution would presumably then need to demonstrate that the reporter knowingly hindered the prosecution of a terrorist and that this fits the available laws. Also, destroying one's records to protect one's own reputation as a reporter might well qualify as "for personal gain", further worsening their chances of having a plausible defense.

2. People who are ashamed of their code
3. It's status symbol and they

5. They're a corporation which reuses hardware/software/IP from their commercial line of gear (such as D-STAR, Yaesu System Fusion, etc)

N1MM logger [0] fits 3.) - it's the most popular contest logger, it's totally free, absolutely packed with features, and worked on by volunteers, but it's closed source because Tom (N1MM) doesn't want to lose control, but it really seems he enjoys the limelight.

WB8ELK fits into 1.) with regards to his round-the-world high altitude balloon tracker packages [1] He sells his kit for $150, with a BOM cost of $20 and no more than 1000 SLOC. I spoke to him and all he had to say was "he has no plans of open sourcing." I assume it's because it's a good income.

Although staffing companies have abused the visas but given the way industry is structured, staffing companies do fill a lot of positions for contract workers & consulting roles. Strictly speaking in terms of law they should be able to hire people on visa as well.

The most idiotic thing here is giving a visa to a company based on lottery. As the original comment pointed out, there should be a point system where you are graded based on education and experience.

2-5 years in Canada it seems for civil contempt. In the US it can be indefinite though. To be held in civil contempt you are supposed be able to free yourself by simply complying. If complying is not possible you can generally make a impossibility defense. The court should allow you free if it cannot be proved to the standard of clear and convincing evidence that you have the ability to comply.

I have been using the ELK stack as a time series database for a long time, I know it isn't built for it but there's so much documentation and resources online that makes it a very "easy" choice, it's very easy to scale any part of it, use the elastic as a nosql database, have kibana to visualize and easily query. Curator to move old data to cold storage / shrink. It's been a no brainer.
I think we're all very impressed with China's trajectory.
>>I just want an answer to my question regardless of the vertical

You want the best answer and Google was not the best one for local for example. But they stuffed it there because the could. When competition is bankrupt or no one enter the space because Google will not rank you fairly then the problem is bigger.

Like hotel bookings, do we know if they are best for shoppers or best for Google's bottom line?

I think you may be confused about the meaning of "plane" in Unicode.

A plane is a contiguous set of 65,536 (216) code points. The lowest-numbered plane was originally the only one; now it's simply Plane 0 (officially, the "Basic Multilingual Plane"). "Astral Plane" is a collective term to refer to planes beyond that, of which there are now 16, for a total of 17 planes.

Unicode currently promises to cap at 17 planes because that's the limit of what UTF-16 can encode with surrogate pairs; anything beyond Plane 16 (officially, "Supplementary Private Use Area-B") would require some other scheme to encode in 16-bit units.

Unicode does not use anywhere near the amount of space even those 17 planes represent; you could encode seven full copies of current Unicode in the unassigned and non-reserved space available, and still have room left over (eight full copies if you un-reserve Planes 15 and 16).

If we ever truly needed more than 17 planes, we'd have trouble trying to do UTF-16, but that's a problem with UTF-16, not with Unicode. UTF-8 as currently defined would run into trouble beyond 32 planes, but we'd either abandon it for something else, or bolt on some inelegant hack to extend UTF-8 beyond four bytes.

So other than maintaining compatibility with existing encodings, there is nothing about Unicode's design that forbids tacking on more planes if and as needed. The hard part, as with so many things in programming, was going from "there's only one" to "there's more than one". If we ever needed enough planes to exhaust both UTF-16 and UTF-8.

One very obvious jest is that at the current rate of emoji expansion it may be inevitable to open up the next plane just for emoji.

To put it in perspective, the total set of emoji in Unicode 11.0, which are spread out across multiple blocks in different planes due to historical reasons, add up to less than 2% of the capacity of a single plane, and 0.11% of the available space in a 17-plane Unicode.

People voted this down, but it's plausible. The brain is like a muscle in some ways, you work it out and it gets stronger. So I think it's entirely possible that if you work out your pre-frontal cortex by having to control your behavior all the time because your parents are strict - you develop stronger self control. Sample size of 1, but it seems true enough in my case.

That shit was stolen from Xerox circa 2004. They had working flexible monitor prototypes back then. I worked as a phone rep for a little Xerox agency while I was in college.

Undefined Behavior Is Really Undefined
That is true - alcohol is both nmda antagonist (the stumbly ataxia) and gaba agonist (effect on anxiety.) GHB IMO is not nearly as gnarly of a substance as alcohol because it sort of has a ceiling but withdrawal from any gabaergic is uncomfortable and potentially life threatening and nmda agonists are not, there are a lot of causes of bladder damage especially from ketamine, drowning, falling off buildings, loss of jobs, friends, family. Despite it's rather low physical harm profile (aside from the bladder damage) it's incredibly addictive and many people go wayyyyy wayyyyyyyy too far. I have lived it, and I've seen it. It has a very dark side.

I know the IV user in this film (they call him Chris on camera). This user is atypical but there are many people with extensive bladder damage and negative social effects. You'll have to take my word for it. I'm sure there is more research from china especially as it's very common drug used there. Police note (anecdotally) the typical user in north america has changed to middle aged and affluent as the price of street ketamine has gone up from maybe $25/g to +$90
https://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/drugs_inc_ketamine

I believe in its power as an antidepressant. I'm just concerned about the effects a bit. It will fuel research - it seems it's not ketamine but metabolites and effects on ganglial growth that spur the sudden changes to a depressed mind. And a new objective view on life and reality.

Apple keeps its employees and contractors isolated from each other, with multiple teams working on the same project (and producing similar results) which middle upper management then picks the "best" of. Operational secrecy is a high priority, Apple does not operate anything like Google or other tech companies in this regard.

Dissent got many people I know fired from Apple, even over the most minor things that wouldn't have been issues at nearly any other company. It was a place to "think different" so long as those thoughts were expressed in a way that conformed with what your lead wanted.
I thought at first this was because integer squaring is potentially faster than general integer multiplication and the compiler wasn't seeing the square operation in the second case, but that's not the explanation here.
Did you read TFA? The author did that (though using GCC), and the reason the optimizer does what you see is undefined behavior due to signed integer overflow.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I think you mean http://akkartik.name/about (and not http://akkartik.name/post/about).

And though you didn't ask me, I read it (having been annoyed by your LP post for a few years now) and it strongly resonates with me — the mission, and everything until the start of the “Constraints on a solution” section. IMO the way to give more people more understanding of programs is not to write an entire new programming language / operating system and hope that enough people switch to it, but to work on delivering that “understanding” for existing programs in existing languages. It may be harder, but is more likely to be useful, and you also get feedback on what kind of understanding people want and lack.

>>so if you're reading this Intel folks don't track me down

Should have changed your name for this post that doesn't put Intel in a good light: Just by your posting history they can probably track you down. Black activist--start from there and see if you made any complaints or suggestions to intel. Plus our style of writing is more or less unique.

But I agree with others, Intel management (at a certain point) may have interests that might be against the long term interests of Intel. Say, bonuses. That's the worst, but they may also make mistakes in deciding pro-cons.

Lastly, say that tech is worth $25Billion to Intel, and after x years is essentially worthless. Intel gets $15Billion from China in tax breaks, and sells more than $10B to others meanwhile. So economically it's worth to Intel and China gets the tech. But it is worth to our NatSec?
You can build generic powerwalls much cheaper. Just search youtube for build your own powerwall. Also, they make much more sense if your using the packs to power assist car engines, where they can payback within a 1-2 years. Of course, this, depending on your driving habits. For solar home system, I think using a bunch of the 250 watt micro inverters with built in grid tie circuits is a more practical system. Batteries are almost an unnecessary step unless your into the whole disaster prep scene. They can sync your panels to the 60hz grid and turn your meter backwards all without anyone having to be involved. Just a much less complicated system to implement and operate.

If taken to its final conclusion

And yet you don't take the "freedom" argument to its final conclusion, which is that you must grant Freedom -1. That's the freedom for anyone, anywhere, to run any software on your hardware, at any time and for any purpose.

And this is only half-joking: all access restrictions, even ones as basic as filesystem permissions, impinge on freedom in some fashion. You can work around them, of course, but you can work around Firefox's extension signing (and Apple's app signing, and lots and lots of other systems that people insist are objectively reducing "freedom"). Which means that to be consistent, you either have to be against even those basic access-control mechanisms, or you have to compromise on absolute "freedom" and begin arguing about how difficult or complex a workaround can be before you personally would rule out allowing a system to require it.
The doses are acute so the side effects at reasonable doses are primary psychotomimetic effects without physical harm or other behavioral impact - it has a very short half-life and people will be basically sober by the time they leave from a treatment and the body will clear it in a day.
