Eating meat is way easier than eating balanced vegetarian imho. I've cut down on my meat lately and it does require more time and involvement to eat vegetarian. E.g. an easy dinner is bbq a steak and chuck out some salad, done. Our entire society is based on convenience of eating meat, to get the same from a vegetarian diet is a lot harder to learn, you really have to want to. I still eat fish and eggs for this reason, I'm not really sure how to go full vegetarian, I know its possible but its another level of work for me. There's probably a bit of FUD thrown around by the meat industry that you need protein and iron from red meat as well.

“What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”
I'm sorry, but this is crap. For two reasons:

1) Why should "off by default" be the standard and "on by default" a standard violation? Any sane person, especially after consulting with users, would conclude that it should be the other way around. There's no a priori reason to say that "no explicitly-expressed desire not to be tracked" is less valid than "no explicitly-expressed dire to be tracked", since we all know most people just stick with default settings.

The reason is that no one ever intended to actually honor DNT unless it was only used by a tiny fraction of people (and probably not even then), so that's the way the standard was written. Complaining that IE "violated the standard" was a useful way to try and distract from this fact.

2) IE10 violated standards left and right, and most of the time web servers and developers just grumbled and dealt with it. In no other case did anyone commit code to Apache to ignore headers sent by IE. Why different for DNT? Because unlike most settings, DNT actually cost them money. So once again "it violates the spec!" was a figleaf for the real problem.
That does not make China less racist.
I really like what the Juce people have done but I still question most approaches to problems take the path of creating a new language. It seems to me something that could just as easily be a library is now constrained into sandbox where it can't be used nearly as easily or flexibly.
There was a huge problem with converting weight normalization module (torch.utils.weight_norm) and with forward and pre-forward hooks generally, so I had to rewrite the full model. Hope they've improved it in the stable release
So you think that if we don't promote science that studies the heritability of intelligence as it pertains to race, it will lead to genocide?

I can't prove it empirically but evidence suggests Noah Carl is trash; cultural items, ideas, or objects of poor quality. Note, there is nothing in the science that rules this out. But it is clear Noah Carl has a keen interest in race IQ science. But take a look at his cv (https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/204775...) that's not all he is interested in.

> A global analysis of Islamist violence
> Net opposition to immigrants of different nationalities correlates strongly with their arrest rates in the UK

Hmmm, I wonder why it's so important to Noah to establish a heritable basis for IQ. It's hard to look at Carl's work in good faith and not see that he might not be the best voice on the historically troubled subject of the heritability of IQ and race.

I feel it irresponsible to investigate the topic without a sense of caution. It's hard to understate how horrifying the effects of scientific racism have been in the past century alone. Based on his viewpoint and lack of attention to environment factors, it seems likely Carl is trying to weaponize the topic against other groups of people. IQ science is barely ready to be used in the policy arena. Heritable differences between races can be an interesting topic. But the people, like Carl, who are constantly drawn to the heritability of IQ between races have to be viewed with a high degree of suspicion.

Why I Am a Bad Correspondent
1990? Maybe 1988, but as soon as May 35th hit, China backed away rapidly from the liberation of the 1980s. The reasons the students marched on the square in the first place was because they thought they could.

With 7nm they might not need to downclock that much.
Given how much easier I've seen older relatives use iPhones in the skeuomorphic days vs now: I mostly lean towards skeuomorphic being preferable. It's not as fashionable now, but it is way more approachable and unambiguous.
> Aside from the general anti-China slant that is fairly common in the journal, I have yet to see a 'manage the market' to achieve results desired by the state to ever succeed, anywhere. Markets just don't work that way in my experience, they evolve, they change, and if you box them in they die.

I strongly disagree.

Since the Great Depression, farming is incredibly heavily subsidized in the United States. World-wide, but particularly in the US, agriculture is probably the most government-managed/subsidized/regulated industry you can think of.

And yet, over the past 85 years, despite the many economic ups and downs, changes in global demand for, and global prices of staples, US agriculture remains a resilient pillar of the economy. You can go to any grocery store, country-wide, and buy more cheap food then you can ever eat, despite wars, shipping problems, droughts, natural disasters, crop failures, and other calamities.

Now, all of this comes at a cost. It costs a lot of taxpayer dollars to ensure that cheap food is available for everyone. The alternative, of course, is an unresilient, market system, with fluctuating outputs, shortages, and price spikes.

These sorts of things tend to lead to bread riots, revolutions, and bourgies being strung up on lamp posts.

As a bourgie, I'd rather not risk seeing the price of bread triple.
clang and gcc supported AVX-512 before any chips using it were even available.

icc might still have an edge on vectorized code, but it is not that big.
One thing that has made an impression on me is using google maps in satellite view and appropriate zoom level. Start at northern europe and go south, or western us and go east, or any similar journey. Short of the mountain ranges, it's pretty much agriculture everywhere. Entire continents. It used to be forest.
Decided to check it out, and from the very first chapter things are being miss represented, if not outright wrong :(.

Starts by claiming Amiga CPU was the reason game couldnt be ported, cites ~1MIPS CPU as evidence, 3 pages below tells you ~1MIPS 286 ran the game fine.

Tells you how the game was designed to take advantage of 386.

Spends tons of time describing 32bit 386 and its 387 floating point unit, without mentioning Wolf3D used neither.

Casually lies about Cyrix/AMD clones "delivering mediocre performance", while AMD made fastest 386 CPU in 1992, and Cyrix made fastest 387 coprocessor in 1992.

Google preview stopped there, I hope the rest is better.
That probably deserves its own submission as a link. I can quibble with some of the details but I agree with the general thesis that China's execution of the OBOR initiatives have failed to meet expectation and that the initiative has become more important than the results politically. I keep looking for signs for this effort to collapse and take the RMB with it, but China has more direct control over the levers than most economies would trying to pull off what they are doing.
There already is regulation around storing biometrics in a few states, Ohio and Texas if I remember correctly, and in turn, most national companies avoid storing this data all together because of the risk it causes should people move between those states.
And yet, cars kill many, many more people (1.25 million in 2013, per WHO) than mass surveillance does. And parent didn't qualify his statement as to which products the oath would apply to:

>4. Working abroad, without any kind of work visa, would make it incredibly easy to evade paying taxes in your own country.

But you're working abroad for a company that's treating you as if you are living in your own country and is, presumably, depositing your paycheck into a bank in that country. The fact that I'm traveling somewhere (on business or pleasure) during a given month basically doesn't affect anything. I travel maybe 100 days a year, in part outside the US. I don't consider myself a digital nomad but the reality is that I'm outside my home country for a decent chunk of the year.

4 Conclusion
We have shown a strong correlation between solar and
tropospheric variability, in that swings from El Ni˜no
to La Ni˜na are related to the phase of the solar
cycle’s “fiducial clock,” and that that clock does not
run from the canonical solar minimum or maximum, but
instead resets when all old cycle flux is gone from the
solar disk. While the exact mechanism remains to be
elucidated, changes in cosmic ray flux appear to the be
the driver of these ENSO swings.

Finally, in the absence of sensitivity to solar-driven CRF
variations in current coupled climate models, we have a year
or so to wait to see if this indicator pans out. However,
should the coming terminator be followed by such an ENSO
swing then we must seriously consider the capability of
coupled global terrestrial modeling efforts to capture
“step-function” events, and assess how complex the Sun-Earth
connection is, with particular attention to the relationship
between incoming cosmic rays and clouds/ precipitation over
our oceans.
You could explore puerto rico. It requires some foresight and planning, but it has major tax benefits if done right.
It seems like they were the second, each group had 2 employees travelling with them. Which isn't bad especially in countries you might not be familiar with or speak the language.
Google is a Linux shop. Most Googlers don't do any development on Mac (unless they're specifically working on something that runs on Mac, like maybe Chrome). Each one has a linux desktop (or at least that was the case while I was there), and all the heavy work is done "in the cloud" anyway.

green card application still pending when getting married to a US citizen, then a few months after wedding getting response for application that it was denied. Can the person still apply for a green card through marriage even if they are married for a while without having applied right after?
Bloom filters are an example of a hashing data structure that does not support delete. So yes, such a tradeoff can be made.

Maybe some DHT implementations also make deletion hard? (In general, I'd much rather mark something as invalid than delete it.)
If you have a theory about the conditions under which consciousness can exist, you will need to test it. How will you test that theory if you cannot tell what is and isn't conscious in the first place?

Let's say my theory says that rocks are conscious and hippos are not. Without some means of detecting consciousness this theory is untestable.
If you leave the company, you would keep your priority date - your place in line - but you would need to start the green card process from scratch and your ability to continue working in H-1B status would depend on your current employer not cancelling the approved I-140 petition (which most employers don't do).

As an aside, while we're still a ways off from battery-electric farm vehicles (cost/weight of batteries is still just too high to meet the same parameters as diesel tractors, even with very generous assumptions the last time I ran the numbers), I still like the idea of electric farm equipment hardwired to the grid and dragging giant electric cords behind them like really boring EVAs.

(Sure, you'd still want batteries to drive the machinery between fields, and you'd need a way to keep the cords from damaging crops or disrupting the plowing when you're dragging them around, and you'd need to put a huge "tractor electric outlet" by every cluster of fields you're working with, but these are all engineering challenges that could be met with current technology.)

I was rejected by a startup for being a "big picture thinker" and not a "builder" after flying to big city for a full day of interviewing. Shortly after that I started a business helping local people align their business operations with technology.

I’ve Interviewed 300 High Achievers About Their Morning Routines
I'm a white, western male in my late 30's with a chronic Hep B infection, picked up as a child living in Africa. The only difference it's made in my life is having to have some awkward conversations with prospective intimate partners, having to get regular blood checks (every 6-12mths), and not being able to join the military.

The good news with Hep B is a) there is a very effective vaccine against it b) if you pick it up as an adult you have a good chance of getting rid of it. The bad news is there is no cure for chronic infections and the risk of liver disease is greatly increased. As the article mentioned, in recent years there have been breakthroughs in treatment of Hep C leading to a cure so I'm hopeful there will be a cure for Hep B in my lifetime.

Logistics is hard. On top of that, importing food is a very political subject. Do you want to feed everyone in the world as resource-efficiently as possible, or do you want every country/region/city/neighborhood/community to be equipped to feed itself? Bear in mind that these two are very much different scenarios. Small, poor, inefficient farmers have been bankrupted by cheap imports they cannot compete with more than once in world history. Similarly, price controls on food have led to famine more than once.

This is without even touching on the point that a lot of poorer countries really want to be able to export food for a profit.

I get the sense that the short answer to your uncomfortable question is simple: yes. With the asterisk being all the political and economic questions that go in it and don't have simple answers.
It all comes from the home.

For example, as parents we make every effort not to be on our phones around the kids. Some kids truly believe they are competing with a mobile device for their parents' attention, it's quite sad.

Second, we just do fun stuff. Over time they just developed the innate desire to be active and not be dumbed down by screen time. It's just nature. Why would a kid prefer to sit on a couch and stare at an iPad when they can run wild in the backyard or be active as a gymnist or at theater? Screen zombie is a learned behavior, I feel like it is usually a result of uninvolved parents.

Lastly, just don't have the screens at home. We don't have a TV. How is my kid going to be addicted to a TV without... hmm, a TV? Same goes for other screens.

Start young... our kids also eat healthy. At this point they know to politely refuse unhealthy snacks, candy, etc. at playdates and other social events. They know they're not really missing out on much. When they do "splurge" and eat crap, they feel like crap. Our kids are very in tune with their bodies, physical and mental state. Just because other kids play Fortnite, do I need to give in as a parent? No. Same goes for dietary restrictions and other choices parents have.

I wish people in the tech bubble would realize that "why there's an opt-out" - is like saying 'you can stop the beating by.." - why not just make it 'opt in" - when there is consent, side effects can be considered easier, and then there is more of a chance someone actually knows how to opt out / change the consent of this thing running.
After all, you're the first one to send a request to the webserver, including your terms. By responding they are automatically agreeing to your terms.
You can call it whatever technically-correct term you want in the code, the FCC documentation, technical conferences, etc.

When you're marketing it to the public, it's best to worry a little about how terms will be interpreted by laypeople, especially if said laypeople's lives are in the balance.

No, AMD's latency is generally worse than Intel's on Zen chips. Here's the first example I could Google [1], but the same trends repeat themselves across many benchmarks.

My overall impression is that the typical gap is 5-10 ns.

I think most of the time you'll know when you'll need to interrupt them (e.g. dinner at a regular time). In that case, I'd say - be off by this time. They can learn to plan ahead and give themselves the needed headroom if they want to avoid the negative consequences.

We're not living in the past. "Fundamental to very existence of the nation" is simpleton claptrap. Eradicating Native Americans was also fundamental to the very existence of the nation. It has no bearing on the present, no matter how much your kind would like to obfuscate the matter with jingoist bombast.

Not talking about drugs or alcohol, but sure, change the subject. "But what about...?"

That's not a reflex. That's a shrug: there's simply no event terrible enough that will evoke change. Apparently this actually is what you want. It's sad for the children, because they never got the chance to vote, but for the rest of you: just stay afraid, wave that flag, and polish the caskets.

In vim it's as simple as :%s/\s* $// (okay, not that simple if you don't spend time in regex or in the shell) and git can hide whitespace only changes in diffs. Just don't check in trailing whitespace.

If you need to clean up a whole codebase you can throw in something like find -name * .java | xargs sed -i 's/\s* $//' and just commit that once.

75 Quotes About Love We Can All Relate to – They Love Quotes
I appreciate your prompt response and help.
Anything that the driver wants to adjust while driving should have a physical realization and give haptic feedback. They shouldn't have to look at it to more than a glance to make sure they've got a finger on the right thing. Knobs, switches, buttons, sliders: all good.

Anything that the driver won't use while the car is in motion or the passenger wants to play with can be touch-screen, or VR, or gesture-driven, or activated by thinking happy thoughts. That doesn't present a safety hazard.
