You can't extrapolate that model to the USA, where there are more firearms than citizens [1].

This means that the average risk / threat an officer may encounter in otherwise routine situations are quite different than the UK, which has very strict firearms policies, since they decided to ban almost all firearms in 1988 / 1997.

So this object is a bit more than 11 billion miles from the sun?

And Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light years away, which is 24,635,923,200,000 miles?

So this object is roughly 0.046% of the way to the next star?

Assuming that the Alpha Centauri system reaches out to us as much as our system reaches out to Alpha Centauri, I am surprised that the two systems reach out to each other as much as they do.

Almost 10% of the distance between the stars consists of the systems that surround the stars?
It seems like you're making a dichotomy between corporations and the community. However corps are a big part of the community! They are leveraging LLVM in many different products, and individuals in the community are frequently paid by various companies to work on LLVM to improve these products.

It is a privilege as a community member to be able to be paid to work on a project like LLVM. I'm so grateful the community has such a healthy relationship with both academia and corporations.

Many community members at the yearly conference mention that they have custom patches that they can't upstream because of licensing issue.
Improving this means to me that we can extend the community and make it stronger.

Wow! if this is true.

"A person claiming to be a former Edge developer has today described one such action. For no obvious reason, Google changed YouTube to add a hidden, empty HTML element that overlaid each video. This element disabled Edge's fastest, most efficient hardware accelerated video decoding. It hurt Edge's battery-life performance and took it below Chrome's. The change didn't improve Chrome's performance and didn't appear to serve any real purpose; it just hurt Edge, allowing Google to claim that Chrome's battery life was actually superior to Edge's. Microsoft asked Google if the company could remove the element, to no avail."

At least since Einstein's Theory Of Relativity we've known that normal human narrative will not extend to space.

Meh. Human narratives have encompassed characters who live for hundreds of billions of years and who experience time warped in any number of ways. There are even successful mainstream movies that deal with such issues. Multiple ones going back decades.

Basically, people don't want their sci-fi stories to be too accurate. And I guess that's fine. Maybe it's all just entertainment.

You could totally re-tell the entire Star Wars and Star Trek canon in such a setting. It's not that people don't want it. Most people don't know enough to know they would want it. Heck, half of everyone seems to think "there's no gravity in space."

(EDIT: By "such a setting," I mean in just several cubic light years around Sol and Alpha Centauri.)

Why is it wrong? My identity isn't hidden, you can easily check my industry experience. I'm speaking on TBs of data directly measured everyday on the publishers we work with.

I also said "especially if the actual text content is available immediately", which it almost always is. It's the other assets on the page that slow down loading. If you check the top 5k sites, none of them load any faster than 1-2 seconds, but many focus on optimizing for the first paint experience while loading the full site content over a few seconds. This is basically what AMP does, but taken to an extreme degree.

There are many other factors like content types, page depth, dwell time, user activity, etc. that all matter, and it really takes 3+ seconds to start seeing significant effects on user sessions and revenue. Publishers don't make performance a priority because of something called yield management and a host of other complex business reasons related to revenue. Making the site more performant is usually not worth the limited dev resources, which again are affected by things like AMP.
The UK did, however, have a full troops-on-the-streets state of emergency in Northern Ireland for 30 years, complete with carbombings and firing on demonstrators; it would be interesting to compare the numbers for that with US policing.

(Last time I ran the numbers, 70s Belfast was overall less dangerous than 80s Detroit, but someone else can do this one)
Yes, this is precisely the point I'm trying to make. The standards that are applied are not equal, yet police officers are not only allegedly held to a higher standard, but they are also bound to follow all the existing laws because they are citizens themselves. There isn't an exemption made that allows them to violate the law or have a different set of criteria apply to them when determining if a crime has been committed. The only exception to that rule I am aware of is in cases of undercover operations - officers are able to obtain permission in advance from their handlers for certain crimes they expect to be required to commit (i.e. bribing someone or buying drugs). Outside of that, no exceptions exist that I know of.
How good is Yandex indexing and search technology?...My guess is that probably not even close to Google, and heavily optimized for slavic inflections and cyrilic.
looks like the site's being hugged to death.

nevertheless, i've had many annoying situations where i want to GET a specific list of ids, eg. /orders?ids=1235678,abcdefg and quickly run into the 2048 char limit, forcing me to design the API as a POST in all cases. combine that with additional sorting, grouping and filtering params and you're stuck.

the fact that GET is conflated with the url and has no body to pass params in is very limiting. at that point, HTTP verbs become mostly pointless.

Why are we wasting our resources carrying around these liquids in individual containers? You want to use facts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

We shouldn't be shipping bottles unless we absolutely have too. Ship the liquid in large efficient containers. Wanna go back to the Romans? They weren't shipping little 20oz amphoras enmasse, no they were carrying 41 quarts... apparently that's a standard too. Good job Rome.
Well for one we can both hopefully agree that a mission statement doesn’t have to reflect the actions and intentions of an organization. So to cite that as evidence that “all directions are covered” is not valid. Can you show me examples in which the NAACP has benefited racial oppression of whites to support their mission statement?

College admissions as you point out are something that can harm marginalized white people, in the sense that there are finite resources in our society. Taking opportunities from one marginalized group to give to another doesn’t move us forward as a whole, it simply shifts where the injustice is. You can abstract this a bit and find other examples with the same pattern.

However, this isn’t the intention of my comment per se. The broader point is that focusing on one group and ignoring the others is the problem. Shifting around our agony while we have massive wealth/power inequality is sidestepping the real issue at hand - we have a society in which suffering for the unequal benefit of others is inevitable. Maybe today it’s more on minorities. Maybe tomorrow we switch gears and whites are the greatest to suffer. Choose your linchpin, it doesn’t matter - the point is we need to support all humans. I’d say not even just our own country, but literally create a realistic opportunity for all humans in the world to be able to live within the comfort and privilege that our collective accomplishments have to offer.

As long as we keep to our tribal ways of deciding that this group or that group deserves more, we are doomed to swing on this never ending pendulum.
> the process involved in a single bitcoin transaction could provide electricity for a home in Britain for an entire month

Perhaps British homeowners should then travel to remote regions of China and set up a power line direct to their home.

The analogy is meaningless as electricity is not easily exportable and transportable. A new power plant in Denmark does not affect electricity pricing in Australia.

Bitcoin miners are opportunity buyers that rely on bottom-shelf pricing from the source - as soon as any industry is ready to pay a penny more, miners’ margins are affected accordingly and they will move on elsewhere.
why downvote this comment?

i'm not saying you have to agree with it, but this seems like as universally accepted an answer to "what are basic human rights?" as any that might be given (i'm assuming there is actually no universally agreeable definition, but this seems like one of the more respectable and frequently cited sources).
No, plus people rotate their monitors.

Literate programming has next to nothing to do with “English like grammars” or “self documenting” tongue twister symbol table names.

It has to do with writing documentation, and embedding little bits of code to do what the documentation describes, with a special build process to create the compiled program from the snippets within the documentation.

It’s kind of the inverse of Javadoc.
Yeah, I’ve seen restaurants serve water in cardboard boxes (think a bigger juice box). There are options, but yeah; we like to be able to see through our water.
It might even be possible to render at 1/3rd pixels wide, if you take advantage of RGB sub-pixels on an LCD. Sounds like a fun thing to try.
I was a miserable vomitous mass as a child and I still can't read in the car. The horizon tends to stop progression of symptoms but is pretty slow as a recovery method. It's pretty cold comfort for someone who feels like their guts are trying to escape.

At some point in late grade school I figured out it was a better use of my time to start "working the problem" rather than hold out for some folk wisdom to save me, from car sickness to sore throats (keep your neck warm to prevent laryngitis) and everything in between.

Hanging a hand out the window works much, much faster. Barring that, anything cold on the wrist will help, but it's hard to find the right spot while distressed. Air, window pane in the winter, ice, icepack (best runner up), or a can of soda.

Why was this downvoted? It certainly is appropriate to ask why smart people want to believe that the kind of narratives we know here on Earth can be extended to space. Intelligent people know this isn't possible, so it worth asking why the desire to have these stories is so strong.

A narrative is a sequence of events that happen in a definite order. Humans can not have that kind of experience as they spread to space -- everyone's narrative will be relative to themselves, but they won't reconcile with each others narratives. This is well know. The question is why even smart people prefer fiction that ignores this fact. It's worth asking that question.
Also, those innovations are worth a lot of money these days, so might be kept secret.

That fund does not remotely resemble a hedge fund. They strictly invest in low-risk securities (e.g. highly rated government bonds) to generate a modest return and minimize loss against inflation.
It's interesting that there are a few bits of evidence that are used for and against the Satoshi = Szabo question:

1. Szabo wasn't cited in Satoshi's white paper

2. Szabo barely mentioned Satoshi or bitcoin in his own blog or posts until Satoshi had disappeared

3. In an email to Wei Dai (another pioneer in this space), Satoshi introduces himself and seems to imply he had only recently learned about Wei Dai (and by association, Szabo)

I tend to lean in the direction that Szabo probably knows more than he's let on.

Basically, it comes down to that I find it almost impossible that whoever developed bitcoin
was entirely unaware of Szabo and Wei Dai's previous proposals and efforts during the development. Newton and Leibniz supposedly invented Calculus independent of one another, and considering their approach and notation, that seems plausible, but bit gold is so much like bitcoin (including, but not limited to the name), I just refuse to accept that.

And then when you suppose that Satoshi must've known about Szabo, the three bits of evidence above seem very suspicious. Taking the evidence above:

1. Once Satoshi discovered Wei Dai's similar work and cited him, why didn't he cite Szabo?

2. This was Szabo's baby. Why was he almost silent for 3+ years about the very thing he had written about for 10 years that was finally put into practice?

3. Satoshi contacted the other pioneers in the space (Adam Back, Wei Dai), and yet Szabo hasn't mentioned a thing about any communications he received from Satoshi.

Why was this downvoted?

I didn't downvote you, but perhaps it's because the idea either lacks a good understanding of the scales involved, or has been effectively disproved by the Sci-fi corpus decades ago. (Just one example of many: Haldeman's Forever War.)

Looks cool, but FYI for those trying to remove themselves from the Google surveillance ecosystem... Outline was created by Jigsaw, an Alphabet/Google owned subsidiary.

> However, free speech and oppression of democracy is not a moral wrong.

i and many others disagree with this statement.

> "Free speech" in the west means the Government shouldn't censor speech,this is a relativly new concept almost unheard of in history. It certainly isn't a human right. If a legitimate government of a country censors speech they're merely excercising their authority unless their laws restrict them from doing so as in the west. Whatever your view may be, a corporation does not get to decide social norms and what should be legal in any country.

why should the sovereignty of a national government supersede the inalienable rights of an individual? what makes a particular government "legitimate"?

if a totalitarian government decided that ethnic cleansing against a minority population was the correct course of action for itself, and if it carried that out entirely within its borders, would you consider that to not be a moral wrong, because the nation was exercising its own sovereign power? i'm just trying to figure out how much sovereign government power justifies in your moral framework.

Your post introduces an imaginary issue. The question is not whether a company "gets to decide social norms", the question is whether a company gets to decide whether it agrees with terms set by a government that conflict with the social norms of the company. The the answer to that question certainly is positive.
Irony: “literate programming” means pretty much the opposite of “self documenting code” (AKA - undocumented code)

First write the documentation, then embed relevant bits of code next to the relevant discussions, then have a special compiler / build process create the binary / program.

I get physical dependence on sugar. My other comment in this thread details it a bit. If I eat sugar regularly I get small sinus headaches that are unpleasant, but bearable. When I cut it out I go into full withdrawal. I recognize that the literature doesn't support this and I would happily undergo studies to back it up. I have gone through this process multiple times and I get sick consistently (I no longer eat sugar because of this).

I might be an anomaly due to an autoimmune disorder, but we may need to start putting an asterisk that sugar is not addictive *for most people.
How is that a generic ideological tangent, given the article?

Similar theories for why memory and smell are so tied, and why certain smells make you throw up.

Get offline. Seriously. Go out for a walk, talk to some people. Lie in the grass and marvel at the sky, trees around you. Why do you want to learn all that you can online without any practical application for it?
Boulder has a lot of policies in place that actually prevent growth (height limits, limits on suburban growth, etc.). They seem to literally not want Boulder to grow.
That's sort of the point, it was to remove the meat requirement on discovering those. Making the edit/delete/whatever forms and requirements machine readable so a stronger but still generic client tool can interpret them more intelligently.

Again, I think it's naive since while a lot of stuff has plain CRUD operations, there are entities in most webapps that have more complex operations. If I were writing an application that partially managed cutlery in a restaurant it's not clear where a "clean" verb on a fork would fit into REST and how a generic client would understand what significance "clean" has especially as it relates to future eat actions.

I have read through and understand the intent of the original RESTful system and I think there are some good and bad points. But, automatic discovery was definitely included in their vision of how it'd work, and actually seems like the center point TBH.
Are there any plans for a native version of Clojure? I'd rather avoid the JVM if possible, but I suppose the whole ecosystem is dependent on it so that's unlikely?
Well.. this looks ok for 26 letters and 10 numbers. Not sure you can stretch that to full ASCII. For 36 characters, 6 bits per character suffice.
Yes, and I think we can extend this even further.

Maybe it might be even better to find a thing you both agree on and truly give a yes to that. E.g., if I disagree with somebody on the right way to solve a problem, I can at least say, "Yes, it's important we get this right."

From there, in improv terms, I'd probably abandon my first offer and find a new offer that is closer to acceptable. E.g., "So let's do a minimal test of both approaches and see what kind of data we get."

From there I'd again use the improv approach of not trying to control the flow, instead saying open to possibility. If the data goes my way, I can be gracious. If it hasn't, I have learned something, and can be generous with my praise. Either one heightens the chosen narrative direction of being on the same side.

This is basically what Netflix used to be before the existing distributors realized they wanted in on the new action. The same pattern is playing out in games as well, though slower. Origin, Uplay, Battle.net, and most recently Epic are all trying to cut in on Steam's dominance and using exclusives as leverage to do it.

That's how I was taught to counter motion sickness in the 80s, when we were nomadic (of sorts) and did lots of cross-country drives. We didn't necessarily have to look straight ahead, but look out the window to see the motion while consciously thinking about the fact that we are actually moving. Eg, we were told to "think about the engine pushing the wheels, and the wheels pushing the road, and that's why we're moving".

30+ years later I still use that trick on the very rare occasion when I get motion sickness, and it still seems to work fine.
