Why does this crap get published in PNAS and our papers don't? Oh i guess we ll never know , and i don't see a comment section. Apart from the suspicious title and almost vulgar buzzword journo-lingo, the article doesn't add citations for its their most controversial claims such as this:

> "Democrats are the party of the poor, city dwellers,women, nonwhites, and secularists. Republicans, in contrast, represent white males, rural areas, evangelicals, and the well off."

, they admit to invalid extrapolations of their own claims (ref 28) and their analysis lacks any attempts at comparative analysis. Their entire message is that "scientists have to put up with fake news". Yeah tough shit, this is 2018. So much more could be said about decades of promotic "scientific" politics (technocracy) and its failures as well.

And apparently, this is an opinion piece which somehow got peer reviewed and it dates from April.
Well, that's an strawman argument then. Nothing EXCLUSIVELY leans in any ONE direction, you can always find examples to the contrary if you look hard enough. But the claim that tech circles, particularly in silicon valley, leans progressive on social issues in any "by-and-large" way is a true statement.
My “3” is Facebook opposition PR.

There’s certainly a cadence of stories that appear which seem to assert that Google’s practices are as scummy as/ equivalent to Facebook.

It feels like farming “whataboutism” and fud. That may be a coincidence, but I doubt it.
Flash. The transition to JS + canvas wasn't too bad for games, although JS games can't be distributed as single files, but for animation I don't think there's anything like it anymore. And we forget how much of early internet culture was driven by 4chan's Flash board, which you can only have with things like .swf files - relatively small single files that can contain an entire game/animation.
Their subscription services are making it irrelevant if you use an old phone for 5 years or buy a new phone every year.

The Java version is the most moddable and featureful among the versions. The console/mobile/Win10 versions are collectively called Bedrock Edition. The Bedrock versions allow for (limited) crossplay between one another. The Java and Bedrock versions are incompatible. Bedrock versions have had essentially no moddability, though this announcement seems to be hinting that official Bedrock modding support may be in the works.

In short, Windows 10 Edition has not replaced the Java Edition, and IMO the Java version on PC remains the best way to play, especially if modding or server communities are desired.
A lot of your symptoms sound similar to some things that I have been through. I found out that I have celiac disease, after suffering through a lot of physical symptoms which were sometimes paired with mental symptoms such as confusion or mood swings, which are common with celiac. The exact cost seems to be a mixture of things… release of neurotransmitters and immune system chemicals, disrupted gut flora, chronic pain and discomfort, and malnutrition from poor absorption.

Like yours, it’s a long story.
I've been needing this. Thanks for sharing!

I won't get into whether they deserve it, but it's quite clear that a lot of people on HN are very happy to hate on Google, because we see lots of perfunctory, low-information comments here. It's mostly not about sharing new evidence, it's about people expressing opinions they already have.

Certain things become popular clichés, such as complaining about Go generics or Atom's alleged slowness, and so they get repeated in the comments about about that entity.

The tipping point seems to be when low-information comments start getting upvoted rather than downvoted. At some point people stop seeing anything wrong with them as long as they're on the same side.
How to run a calm company
Everything said in the talk went true. Which means we are very close to a Nuclear War. ( And it certainly looks like a possibility at the way things are going )
All sides are not the same. First, science is a process with the goal of objectively determining truths about the world. Already it is wildly different from most other processes whose goals are things like building something, making money, influencing people, etc. Just that different alone is huge. It's like comparing runners to people who don't even enter the race and claiming they are the same.

But what most people refer to when they talk about science is the results of the process. There too, we have a wide spectrum of quality. It's rather dishonest to throw all results into a single bucket and then cherry pick the poor quality results and claim everything is the same. It is not.

On p-values, yes, there is currently a large problem with some areas of science not understanding statistics correctly. This is not a problem with the theoretical process or goal, it is a problem with implementation that should be addressed. But again, to compare even this with non-scientific information which is literally made up to suite various non-scientific goals is very dishonest. These bodies of information are not remotely "the same."

The whole post-truth this article refers to is more about the wider dissemination of scientific knowledge to non-practitioners. While it's always been a challenge to communicate sometimes complex information to the wider public, what has changed in society today is arguably the amount of "corrupted" versions of the data. When you have people taking the scientific results and producing slightly distorted versions with the intention of misleading or making it hard to discern what is original, it's a bigger problem. This is what the article is referring to as "post-truth."

It's a wider societal problem that affects both scientific knowledge and other information alike. Let's not dismissing the problem by saying "all sides are the same." There is a very large range of quality of information, it is not all the same. The amount of bias and ulterior agenda in information varies hugely.

There's nothing you can do to guarantee they are successful.

What you can do is expose your kid to a lot of things and help them find something they're passionate about. Ideally something they can use to pay their bills too when their business fails. I don't see why some programming/tech exposure can't be one of those things.

I work fewer hours and have more lateral mobility than pretty much all my friends that make as much money as I do. Software engineering is a good field. Nobody is saying you have to force it down anyone's throat, and that's not what a Minecraft scripting API is doing.

What a great creative opportunity though for kids out there to dabble in programming due to a game they love. That doesn't preclude them from being financially savvy in the future. They're kids.

I agree that touchscreens are more prevalent but disagree that they are superior. Having something tactile for a phone is useful and should be brought back. I was discussing the same thing with how cars are moving to only touchscreens.

The problem ends up being you don't know where to touch without looking at it. Imagine having a touchscreen keyboard on your laptop. You'd have to look down to verify where you were.

I was just thinking it odd that we're still using the same packet sizes from the 70s despite all the changes in communications technology. Have we just worked around this, or is it actually optimal in some way?

As for the pros/cons, I'm only suggesting increasing maximum packet size and using whatever size works for a given connection. I suppose that adds some complexity to negotiation and operating modes. Cost for memory buffers is a good explanation.
Interestingly, almost no one in NA justice systems talks about evil. The causality between life events leading to crime is often ridiculously clear, and choice barely factors into it.

Believing in evil is its own kind of privilege. I for one have now seen a lot of criminal cases, and I've only seen sick people and people following the path laid before them. No evil in sight, but the concept's very existence allows for a certain social stability, to the detriment of some in favor of others.
This decade feels like the Victorian era all over again. How long did the last one last?
I think it's perverse to argue that well established scientific facts are opinion. The Earth is roughly spherical in shape, water is made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and evolution happened. Those are objective facts that don't depend on anyone's agenda.

Unless you want to argue some unprovable metaphysics that makes the empirical world a misleading appearance.
Those are activities are much healthier uses of time. Video games suck up a lot of time with zero or negative physical benefits and low mental benefits.

I think that section 317ZH specifies that a TAN/TRN/TCN is invalid if a warrant would be required to access the information.

Specifically:

A technical assistance request that relates to an agency, or a technical assistance notice that relates to an agency, or a technical capability notice that relates to an agency, has no effect to the extent (if any) to which it would request or require a designated communications provider to do an act or thing for which the agency, or an officer of the agency, would be required to have or obtain a warrant or authorisation under any of the following laws:

(a) the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 ;

(b) the Surveillance Devices Act 2004 ;

(c) the Crimes Act 1914 ;

(d) the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 ;

(f) a law of the Commonwealth (other than this Part) that is not covered by paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d);

(g) a law of a State or Territory.*

Probiotics are generally too much of a "magic bullet" -- if you're serious about changing your microbiome, the most effective way is through dietary changes. What you eat is ultimately the vast majority of what your gut microbes consume; high sugar and high starch foods tend to lead to an unhealthy microbiome. Many people avoid grains for this reason as well.

The types of bacteria that thrive in your gut varies depending on what you eat.

High fiber is more likely to result in a healthy balance of gut bacteria. However, if you already suffer from a damaged gut, a high fiber diet can be difficult, so be sure to increase fiber slowly, and with awareness of how it affects your body.

That being said, if you want probiotics, plain whole milk yogurt is the way to go. (If you can handle dairy.) I avoid the bifido type bacteria; though that is for very specific reasons. Acidopholus, l. casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus are all fine, the latter two being the traditional yogurt bacteria.
The Java edition is the only one that supports mods. Development is parallel between it and the bedrock edition. The windows 10, android, iOS, Xbox one, PS4 and switch versions all use the bedrock edition.

I would recommend starting with a premade mod pack and a YouTube series that's currently using it. Direwolf20 authors his own packs and creates videos using those packs. The twitch client allows you to install various modpacks for Minecraft, including Direwolf20's

Forth is also quite amazing. I really enjoy both.
I’d always found this to be the opposite - Exif data is generally universally readable by photography/file management tools regardless of the camera that took it. I’ve never heard of photographers encountering trouble reading Exif data, unless it was because they accidentally stripped the metadata in a save as/export somewhere.

There are a fair few libraries out there for pretty much any programming language you like that will return this data.
That’s kind of like saying, “Teaching them to write just makes them the scribes and court officials of tomorrow,” or, “Teaching them to add and subtract makes them the bookkeepers and tax collectors of tomorrow.”

Running their own server and having to make unique custom plugins to compete with other servers for players is also more effective business training than anything a school has to offer.
As other commenters have stated, java is best for modability both because of it's extensive community support and inertia (already written mods are on java).

However, (this may not be true any more, but I think it is) you get a free version of the win10 store version of minecraft with a java edition purchase. So just buy the java version, and you get both (and the prices are pretty close last I checked)

Java has a massive inertia advantage in modding, which is pretty important in my opinion because modders are the largest playerbase that will stick with your game for a very, very long time. Additionally, modders have been known to stick to old versions of minecraft for a long time, so new features/tooling likely won't sway them. I expect the java edition to remain the most popular version for a very long time.
Technology is a good counter to science being part of the post-truth world. Prior to modern science, the world was more post-truth than it is now with rampant superstition and religious authorities dictating the truth. Someone gets sick and the cause is likely a curse, possession, or sinning against God. Now we know about cells and germs.
Outside of small scale independent journalists who are always at the risk of getting de-platformed, non-NATO/petrodollar-aligned foreign news are the only place I can find Americans talking about American stances like leftism (in the economic sense), anti-war, etc.

It is free and easy to simply not buy your kid a screen, or take away the one you gave them.

The issue they are going to run into is that they are automatically going to be labeled a porn site. As such they will automatically lose the top tier of advertisers and payment processors. In addition, because they are new and probably won’t have the filtering systems in place, very offensive content including cp will likely get posted. This will further make them a pariah to the main stream internet with app stores and internet infrastructure players not wanting to do business with them. For example see the example of Apple banning the Tumblr app. And that was with a well established service. With this new NSFW service it won’t even be a close call.
Non-compliance with a TAN/TCN is a civil mater and the law explicitly states that being required to do an act or thing in a foreign jurisdiction that would contravene the laws of that jurisdiction is a defence for non-compliance.
I'm really not sure where in my post you get that I'm cheapening engineering jobs. On the contrary, perhaps my post is worth another read. We are paid substantially more than almost every other industry specifically because engineering jobs are not something most folks out in the work force are capable of performing. This, despite our industry also being accessible when held up against the "traditional" most-highly-paid industries (e.g. medicine, law, etc.). And even more exceptional is that you can do equally well with or without a formal education in it, depending on your personality and technical capacity. And what you call "screwing up future earning potential and savings" is still light years ahead of what most people in the global workforce are thinking about. The vast majority of Americans will never be able to consider plans for a six-figure salary, but this is just par for the course in most disciplines and job titles in our industry no matter where you live. If you sit in front of a computer all day and your job has something to do with turning business processes into computer automation, you can expect to break that barrier at some point in your career, even if you're just okay at your job. In fact, it's actually a symptom of some kind of failure on an individual's part (career path, negotiation, perhaps external circumstances) if you don't break the six-figure barrier.

Interix, the second POSIX subsystem for Windows NT, already had all of the things that the Windows Subsystem for Linux is gradually reinventing, and Microsoft already owns it.

Some of the softwares involved were in fact open-source. Unfortunately, the SUA Community disappeared years ago, and there is no trace of the software packages that it used to provide.

I haven't kept up to date with Blue Lion (ArcaOS) and eComstation; so it is tricky to nominate OS/2.
GameBoy Advance CPU (ARM7TDMI) is very close to first ARM designs: just three stage pipeline, without cache (with higher IPC, because of better memory interface and less pipeline stalls). Because of using a 4-byte wide 24 bit memory bus, it could address up to 64MB of memory. It is an excellent platform to measure memory access behavior without the distortion of cache subsystems. You can buy dev boards with 64MB of external SDRAM, and run ucLinux (Linux for microcontrollers without MMU).
As in getting an interface definition file? My guess would be no. I don't believe that compiled methods are annotated with any type information for the arguments or anything else. You might be able to infer something about the ABI by looking for common snippets of byte code used for decoding values from the message call input. But that probably wouldn't be consistently reliable and might also not always indicate the exact type being decoded.

But I could be wrong.
The 'obvious' way to do that: parallel heads across the whole surface, so time is O(height). Feynman brought this up in https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pister/290G/Papers/Feynman... (an 80s followup to "Plenty of Room at the Bottom"):

> You should have a thicker machine with tubes and pipes that brings in chemicals. Tubes with controllable valves - all very tiny. What I want is to build in three dimensions by squirting the various substances from different holes that are electrically controlled, and by rapidly working my way back and doing layer after layer, I make a three-dimensional pattern.

Added: since mechanical frequencies scale up as size scales down, this sort of design would ideally scale as O(1). That is, with smaller parts and increasing resolution, you have O(n^2) parts, each working O(n) faster, to produce O(n^3) units times O(n^-3) unit volume = O(1) volume per unit time.

Until we have an objective measure for happiness, I'm not sure we can say this. The best I can say, for myself, is the gains are punctuated. Production (or income) gains produce a big bump in happiness, then nothing for a while, then unlock something novel which again produces another big jump. Projecting that onto a society, I see the potential for massive gains in future civilization-wide happiness in lines of medical and human spaceflight research.
