>I'd wager most people are on no more than can-recognize-pikachu terms with the Pokemon franchise yet Pokemon Go was a cultural phenomenon.

Umm... what? Pokemon was already a massive global cultural phenomenon before Niantic got it, an entire generation more or less grew up with the franchise. Hell, a lot of people were shocked Nintendo allowed an unknown company like Niantic anywhere near such a property.

The existing popularity of Pokemon is the reason Pokemon Go was so popular, not the other way around.
In my experience having lived in 3 countries (5 years each), where tipping was implied good etiquette the most only in the US, and partly in Canada; by the rough measure of filling water or checking on folks and things of that sort, US isn't any better or worse than the other countries. In fact, I was actually told by someone in the US told me they employ strategies of being friendly and spend a few minutes conversing with patrons as they present the bill, so that they can drive the tip up (for good reasons - since they depend on them quite a bit).

Where I am living currently, I think there is more income equality - partly I believe is because of having more or less good wages despite line of work, and you get treated like how someone would normally treat you without being forced upon with the expectation of a tip.

> The study also has several limitations. First and most importantly, our findings might not be generalizable to the use of parachutes in aircraft traveling at a higher altitude or velocity. Consideration could be made to conduct additional randomized clinical trials in these higher risk settings. However, previous theoretical work supporting the use of parachutes could reduce the feasibility of enrolling participants in such studies.16

An anecdote here - my wife and I both met a tropical fish in a tank at a restaurant and it was clear to both of us that the fish exhibited significant intelligence. It observed us patiently and even made playful eye contact. It seems that there are different levels of intelligence within fish species and they can't just all be categorized the same. It's only very recently where humans realized the great intelligence found on octopuses. The same may be true of some fish.

Not to mention it feels more black and white. Killing a dissident journalist in your embassy in another country, coming from up top, directly contradicts the promises/suggestions made by the Prince that SA is modernizing and becoming more free/open. The coverup was amateur, in part aided by Ergodan mastery at slowly leaking intel that just kept poking holes in SA’s story.

Meanwhile fighting “terrorism” has lots of gray, and is notoriously messy.

Looks like JSON.stringify will not reveal a private field, based on this line from the spec:

"What do you mean by "encapsulation" / "hard private"? It means that private fields are purely internal: no JS code outside of a class can detect or affect the existence, name, or value of any private field of instances of said class.."

1. I'd use a library or framework that handles the interactive parts, which should make it fast to implement. We have tools to help make other tools.

2. A tool's popularity/usage could be a way to judge when it's worth the effort to add this sort of system.

3. With the Etsy approach, I would also be wary of the cost of interruptions. Getting constant Slack notifications is not conducive to getting work done. You could silence them, but then what if someone can't move forward without getting an answer to their question?

4. There is a nice balance to be found between wasting time documenting everything possible upfront and not documenting anything until someone asks a question.

5. Personally, when I find documentation that needs to be updated, it's usually as simple as editing a wiki or editing Markdown and making a pull request in GitHub's interface. To me, that's not much effort.

Sure, businesses that use stable-coins with "high degree of usefulness in criminal matters" can register and file reports who whoever they need to, just like their cash counterparts - I don't see a problem with that.

My main gripe with today's electronic transactions is that they are not private and too much information is shared between people who I don't know and don't need to know (banks, marketers, hackers). The government doesn't need to know that I bought a car brand y for x, they just need to know that the funds were clean, the bank doesn't need to know any of this info, just that the funds are clean, how much, the 'to' and 'from', that's all. So there's a lot of room for improvement in the existing system.

In the future, crypto-currency stable-coins will offer both privacy and also the ability to prove that the funds are clean, without exposing private details, maybe using things like zero-knowledge proofs.

You can use bootstrap without jquery today with bootstrap native:

It supports most (if not all) of bootstrap’s components, and works well enough that even large-ish projects can do without bootstrap.js (which needs jquery).

That's an interesting point -- to a computer scientist a chronological order is exactly as "algorithmic" as any other order, but I think it might not be to a layman. Possibly the neatest demonstration of the difference.

(I guess asking a computer scientist for a program to do a task without an using an algorithm might be like asking a food scientist to make a product without chemicals...)

Potter is dead. It was a franchise pegged to a particular generation. The original author consciously upped the aged of the books to match the age of the fans. The movies did the same. Potter fans have now grown up. They don't relate to the material as they did as kids. They find the early material childish, silly. Marketing potter to them again is very difficult.

Similar franchises (star wars/trek etc) did not attempt to 'grow up' alongside fans. So, decades later, they can still be relevant to new people. Star Wars VIII isn't attempting to be any more mature than Star Wars IV. But compare potter's first and latest movies. They are aiming at totally different age groups.
DO's "private" networking was not even truly "private" previously as it was shared among its customers. Only recently did it get to the point that the "private" network is separated from the rest. Anyway, even the new "private" network does not allow for something like installing a custom DHCP server and configuring custom subnet for the nodes inside. One of the most common use cases is to route outbound traffic from all the nodes inside a private network through a public gateway and DO's current configuration does not allow that.

This sounds quite exploitable. Buy low before the end of the trading day, sell high at the end.
Makes one wonder if this is one of the issues behind Amazon and Ring+Rekognition rumors. I don't think this is the main driver (they'd sell a lot regardless, if one is to believe neighbors on NextDoor), but it definitely would be a nice bonus (to make package theft a thing of the past, for all intents and purposes).

What an abysmal ad experience. Tried to load the page 3 times. Every time had an inescapable pop up ads come up, redirecting me to a spam site, and then redirecting to the same site as many times as is allowed before the browser intervenes, so hitting back does nothing.

I distinctly remember seeing a video of a jump my unit did in Honduras (right before I got there) where someone on the ground with a camera followed someone burning-in who opened their reserve at ~50-75ft and "walked" away with just a broken tailbone.

There was another case where someone "successfully" burned-in from 800ft (where we did all our jumps from) and survived because they did a proper landing or, perhaps, just pure luck.

From what I remember there were only a couple jump-related fatalities in the 3 years I was on jump status and the 82nd did something like a million jumps a year...which says a lot because if we went 82 days without a fatality we would get a day off and in 3 years we reached that goal exactly once.
They did an actual trial here though

There's a big difference between a video that streams in while the user watches it, and all the styles and scripts that are needed to render the page itself. If the former is too slow the user just keeps scrolling or the player switches to a lower quality stream. If the latter is too slow the user will just close the tab and move onto something else.
The finding was that parachutes have no effect on deaths. Title is the exact opposite of the finding.
Thanks! If I understand your question, you're asking if the ODE time-series model we proposed works best in things like idealized frictionless or gravity-less setting? The answer is that we expect it to work (in principle) even for messy, non-physics-experiment-style situations. This because we don't model the system dynamics directly, but in a latent space that we learn. So even in a messy situation like health monitoring of humans, as long as the data are being driven mostly by hidden factors that are changing smoothly through time (like overall health, infections, hormones or whatever) the neural ODE can abstract away from the messy data. This is all still just in principle - there are a few technical challenges to scaling these models up. But nothing that looks insurmountable right now.

It would suck to be in the control group. ;)

Also, as my grandfather was a paratrooper: parachuting isn't a risk free activity even when the main canopy deploys properly, i.e., broken limbs on landing. And it's remotely possible to survive a fall without a parachute from terminal velocity height, i.e., Vesna Vulović. Edit: <- Edge-cases contrary to the obvious.
Looking for the experimental settings as it would be difficult to reproduce without detail. Could you post the scripts to GitHub?

To the contrary, I think it might be you who is jumping to unfounded conclusions.

Not mentioned there: you can if you want replace the BLTU (for carry) with a SLTU to set a register to 0 if no carry and 1 if there is a carry, effectively getting you a condition code register in a normal register, at the cost of one instruction (or three for signed overflow).

If you're going to be doing a lot of signed overflow checking (e.g. JavaScript) it may be better to store your numbers as N+0x8000000 (for 32 bit). Then each addition needs to subtract the offset afterwards, and each subtraction needs to add it (which works out to the same thing). The overflow check is then a single branch after the add and the adjust, for a total of three instructions instead of a total of four.

This seems bad, but if you're loading the values from memory and putting them back afterwards then it's pretty minor.

A later extension (such as J) could add instructions such as BADC/BADV/BSUC/BSUV a,b,label -- "Branch if ADd generates Carry" etc. These would fit into the existing instruction encoding and execution pipelines no problem.

Or, if this is a rare thing (as it should be in JavaScript) then making them "Trap if ADd generates oVerflow" would take a tiny amount of opcode space and allow the trap handler (which can be delegated to User space) to perhaps transparently fix up the result.
That seems to be dependent on whether you're working on your own personal/company accounts or on behalf of other clients.

For owned accounts, I prefer GCP and Azure because the logins are seamlessly integrated into GSuite and Office 365 so we can manage IAM on an individual basis in one place.

Vitess is a software suite that runs outside of MySQL while Citus runs within Postgres as an extension, so Vitess as more moving parts, but it also is better at handling more connections which has been a continual problem with PG in general.

Vitess supports more complicated sharding management (and requires more configuration) while Citus is simpler and lets you use all the flexibility of Postgres. Vitess has a more streamlined installation process (especially with Kubernetes) while Citus leaves it up to you to install the Postgres nodes.

Also note TiDB for a natively scalable MySQL-compatible database and CockroachDB for Postgres-compatible version.
