I'm sure there's a lot of legitimate reasons to criticize Al Gore. The problem with the South Park episodes is that:

1. They did not talk about any of those valid criticisms

2. FAR more people saw those South Park episodes and, at least somewhat, adjusted their views of Gore to be more negative without even realizing it, than came in contact with anything that DID talk about those valid criticisms
It's actually pretty easy to detect multi-line inputs as long as they have clear enclosers (like '{}' for a block in C/C++). This is what reple does.

This doesn't require a parser--you just have to know what the enclosers are (one of the things that goes in a reple config file) and then count them to see if they're matched or not.

For languages without Python-like syntax or with enclosers that can be ambiguous (some dialects of Fortran), this would be pretty difficult.
The self driving car can't go 200MPH.

You also can't fit as many people in self driving cars, simply because having the requisite fuel storage and engine per 2-4 seater car is quite a lot of space when you can spread that around 200 people per train car. And this is before we consider that average car occupancy is something like 1.5.
TL;DR: No it isn’t
To be honest, the disgusting hit pieces/slander from WSJ, Vox, The Verge, etc that has been on PewDiePie, has made me loose almost all faith in MSM outlets and their credibility. If you let your journalists write things that are so outright wrong, and so extremely trying to twist the words of someone to manipulate your readers, then why on earth should I trust any other story from you.

And I doubt in any way I’m alone in this—proabably the far majority of PewDiePie’s subscribers don’t take media outlets serious anymore.

The age of journalism has long been dead. Click-bait killed in, and now they just putting nails in their own coffin.
Because this isn't a zero-sum game. If you say 9,999 good things on the internet and 1 offensive thing people aren't going to say 'oh... but he said 9,999 good ones so we should ignore the one that we find offensive'.
He shouted out 28(!) smaller channels. 1 of the 28 he recommended for its essay about Death Note. That's why it was being promoted. He didn't realize the channel contained anything anti-semitic or otherwise. Once that was pointed out, he removed the shoutout from his video.

The journalists in question are not reporting the nuance and context in their rush to burn the witch.

I'm in my late twenties, and it's interesting to see "tech" and "culture" journalists around my age get more and more out of touch with internet culture. At first I thought it was deliberate misinterpretation of satire and Monty Python shock-jock comedy for the purposes of clicks and politics.

Now I'm not so sure - much like how early 4chan's self-deprecating and self-aware irreverence devolved in a swell of uncreative people taking the memes (and themselves) way too seriously, the same seems to be occurring with the media. Maybe the media is on to something when they say memes, jokes, and satire are dangerous because too many people take the performance literally and become neo-Nazis? But I don't see this phenomenon as only existing inside that sphere - so many people, even journalists who should know better, are content with bits of second-hand information and out-of-context sound bites when making up their mind about something or someone.

Maybe we're getting too comfortable with the internet. It was once a curio outside of our brain, but as it becomes a part of who we are we increasingly give it authenticity.
Boys; I've got this:

Because the chapters for instance under 2.0 are absolutely spot on.

The rest are absolutely as well. Are what you say? Spot on!
As an American that live in France for several years, the high-speed trains were great for certain trips, but they wouldn't work in the U.S. because they are not as efficient. By efficiency I mean cost over time. For instance, to go from Paris to Bordeaux by car is about 8 hours, the price of gas is $5/gal and all the freeways are toll roads. Total trip would be about the same to fly. To Fly is about $500 for one-hour flight. The train is about 8 hours and $100.

In America, gas is $3-4/gal, the flight from LA to SF (about 1 hour) is $200. Also, don't forget European cities were designed for pedestrians, while in the US, they were built for cars.

I would say the most efficient way to travel in France is by train, while in the US, it is by plane.
It's interesting to compare the level of forgiveness / empathy from news organizations like Vox and Vice depending on the subject they are covering.

1. Youtube star who links a white supremacist channel and then immediately disavows it - still a racist.

2. Democratic presidential candidate (Obama) meets with and has photos taken with avowed racist and anti-Semite (Farrakhan) and then disavows it a few years later - no problems here.

Websites with discussion (like hacker news) have simple rules like "assume good faith." If somebody says they don't believe something, participants are expected to accept that, unless there is evidence to the contrary. Yet, "respected news organizations" like Vox and Vice only presume good faith for people who agree with them.
Kinetic plasma simulations in space plasma and astrophyscial scenarios. I have seen that journal and I think it is a step in the correct direction.

Regarding the funding: you kind DO need that extra funding. because if you don't get funding for that you get out-competed by the other research who skips that step and the next postdoc position or grant goes to that researcher who wrote two more papers instead of testing code that ultimately didn't find any major bugs.
At least MUMPS gets the "noSQL" thing better than any noSQL tool invented by people who weren't even born when MUMPS came out. But coding anything sufficiently complicated in MUMPS is not the most pleasant task.
They have a lot of HSR.

Not sure your math checks out. EVs are < 1% of fleet and < 2% of sales in the USA. As you say, cars last 10-20 years and this number is rapidly getting longer. Vehicles older than 16 years are the most-rapidly-growing segment of the US vehicle fleet. The average age of US light passenger vehicles hit 12 years in 2016. In 2020 there will still be 80 million cars on the road that were built 1995 or earlier, none of which were electric or even hybrids. Virtually all of the cars sold this year will still be on the road in 2030, and 98% of them will be combustion powered.
that makes sense because the top brackets pay the highest percentage to begin with, of around 39% . it does not make much sense to give the lowest % brackets the same % as highest bracket, and the lowest bracket has a negative effective rate anyway.
ICO Alert: France clarifies the accounting rules applicable to ICO investors
Considering he spends tens of hours a week producing inane, barely researched content and commentary and also handles most of his own admin I'm not surprised. People with a tenth of his audience have staff dedicated to making sure that things like that don't happen.

What's more interesting is that every single bleeding-heart journalist that seems to have an issue with him all have tweets praising Nazis, throwing racial slurs around or generally being whatever they're criticising Felix for.

An example from the Vox writer: "seeing #WhyIJoinedTwitter trending and all i can think of is, Don't be stupid, be a smartie! Come and join the Nazi party!" - with gif of people doing Nazi salutes [0]

Call that satire if you like - which is how she's trying to defend it - but that's exactly what Felix is repeatedly crucified for. Just bad luck for her too, I guess. Except she's not apologising for it, nor is she being punished by her employer nor is she having articles written about her for it.

>I have yet to see a good argument for why we should assume the Jesus of the bible was a single person leading a religious movement -- there were plenty of messianic claimants at the time and plenty of Jewish religious movements competing for followers.

For one, the burden of proof would be on proving it was "multiple" people.

Second, we have a couple of references to a single person (Josephus, Tacitus).

Third, we know many other cases of a single founder, from Mohamed to Joseph Smith, Jr.

>there were plenty of messianic claimants at the time and plenty of Jewish religious movements competing for followers.

How is that relevant. There were many, but one of them got off the ground. Why should there be 2 or 6 of them getting popular simultaneously?
The first option would benefit everyone the same, but only if it was refundable.

The second would benefit the rich disproportionately, because deductions save you the deduction x your marginal rate, and so anyone paying the highest marginal rate will save more from a deduction than someone paying a low (or zero) marginal rate.
But how will rich people find loopholes in that?

Not to mention the nightmare that is organizing the compiler on large projects. I've seen multiple large companies employ teams of 10+ engineers just trying to keep the compiler in order. Optimizations that take weeks or months to develop result in 10x improvements while I'm not aware of developers in other languages having this problem.
There are plenty of passenger trains in service around the world that go faster than 200mp/h, today.

Small correction: It's 2 hours from Paris to Bordeaux.
A huge improvement (for the biggest planes) is going to twins and ETOPS (not just fuel, also maintenance cost, but also fuel). Not as relevant to domestic routes, though.
For anyone else curious, the reference to the home office deduction being eliminated is only for employees. The home office deduction remains unchanged for self-employed folks.
An ironic nazi is still a nazi. No matter how you turn this, this guy:

1. Commissioned someone for 5 dollars to hold up a sign stating "Death to all jews"

2. Published the footage upon seeing it to an impressionable young audience, without putting why it'd be wrong to do into context. And thought this was an okay thing to do.

That's all that was reported on. And rightfully so.

I find it very sad that I get warned for "ideological posting" and yet quillette is a source allowed on here; easy to spot what ideology they support by their mention of Ben Shapiro as some sort of idol: reactionary. (If you're not convinced, find their sidebar for feminism bashing)

You should really reconsider if your own bias is distorting your moderation policies, dang.
Reaching more people is precisely the purpose of satire. Humor communicates with a lot of people who don't read the NYT.
What 'far more broken, dangerous, and sinister' things have filled the void left by Judeo-Christian values? There's a long history of Judeo-Christian values being pretty broken, dangerous, and sinister themselves. The Spanish Inquisition is just 1 of many examples.
This is library code which most users of the range library will not themselves need to write. Using ranges absolutely leads to shorter and more elegant code. The implementation of the library is complicated. Much of what’s likely unfamiliar with this example is the use of C++ “concepts” (a technical term), and is not actually necessary, but is placed there to actually give better error messages to users of the library (without them, template code is basically duck-typed, and can give terrible error messages). I’d argue that the core of that code: the transform followed by the join is actually quite readable.

I also wouldn’t at all say C++ is overly academic. It’s an extremely pragmatic community. Yes, the standardization process is slow, but I don’t view, as a C++ user, the issues you mention as serious. To me, there’s nothing wrong with using high quality third party libraries like boost (and Eric’s range v3 library). My biggest frustrations with C++ are the build and packaging stories.
I think previously it has not been so much accidents as shock humor that is prevalent among young people (most famously often shown at 4chan) that clashed against the mainstream. Paying two poor indian guys 5 bucks to write "Death to jews" (or something like that) and dance around is probably in poor taste but my guess is that the words were chosen more because "you cannot say that" than trying to spread that message.
They shut down my channel with more than 20k subscribers earlier in September. I sent in all the digital publishing rights contracts signed by all the artists whose content I had.

No response, just automated emails. Even tried my assigned partner manager, just more automated emails.

I feel most sorry for the artists... Most were from my home country in Africa and I had given them a sustainable source of income. Overnight, like Thanos, it was gone. I tried to fight for them, but YouTube would not even bat an ear.

Maybe one day we will get a better service than this.

And if there is a person from
YouTube or Google here, your company really needs to do better.

I personally have not forgiven them yet.
Yep, this is a good one.

When America is in the middle then Asia is broken in half.

With America off to the side the "edge" of the map is the International Date line, thus no land-mass is broken.
Build dense cities.

For example the Tokio-Osaka Shinkansen averages 130 mph over the whole route with 15 stops in between the end stations. You could get from midtown Manhattan to downtown Boston in 1h40min. Make that 1h15min, if the train didn't have stops between NYC and Boston.

So visiting Boston could be almost as fast as visiting the far end of Queens, from Manhattan.

What matters is miles driven, not number of vehicles. For someone with a 1-2h each way commute (sigh), replacing a 2010 truck with a 5-year-old 2025 EV in 2030 will make sense on a 2 year cash return basis. For someone who drives 1-2k miles/year, it probably isn't worth upgrading.

I'm really not finding how this can work out to $0.15. Could you clarify about what the federal reimbursement rate is? Again, if that number were true—which it may be but so far it seems unlikely—the remaining issues are important. AAA, CAA, and other news sources, it takes a very generous amount of miles to get there.
Thanks, that sounds like the way to go.

I'll probably change most details except for my name and the fake DOB. The bars and downgrading the image should make it unusable as far as facial recognition and extracting more information.
Thank you! (also makes the article less valid IMO for being sensationalist)
As you increase speed, you need to take turns at larger and larger curves to reduce g-forces on passengers, and the curve radius increases exponentially vs speed. The bigger the curve, the more land you need to buy, and depending on which country you're in property rights extend above and below the land so the cost is unavoidable. (If you can avoid it by going underground or overground, the cost of tunneling and bridges is expensive.) It becomes increasingly costly to increase speed, and on top of that you get diminishing returns with travel time (speeding up from 80 to 120MPH is worth a lot more than going from 200MPH to 240MPH). And above a certain point you spend too much time accelerating and decelerating from top speed, and not enough time actually at the top speed to make it all worthwhile.

Regardless of motive technology, curve-radius will always be a relevant problem, because one of the major advantages of the train is that you can walk around and about. We could design trains with sharper corners and harder acceleration/deceleration, but no one wants to be strapped into a vomit comet for three hours.
Portland-Seattle is already a terrible candidate. I use to travel between the two once a month for a year. The Amtrak was empty as hell. If Amtrak didn't get as much in subsidies as it did to keep that going, it would have shut that shit down long ago. I never road the ORCA for Seattle-Tacoma, but that station near the amtrak always looks pretty busy during commute times.
This is a really fascinating channel. There is a whole underground network of this stuff most of us are probably not privy to. You can tell it's a successful scam because these are not one-off videos but seemingly tried-and-true formulas.

Edit: also fascinating that scams call out other scams, such as this: https://www.binaryoptions-sentinel.com/the-trader-app-scam-t...
> He didn't realize the channel contained anything anti-semitic or otherwise.

He's suggesting that, but it is extremely unlikely that he didn't know.

Sounds like the journalists are doing their job.
When all of humanity goes extinct (which is inevitable), I will be more concerned about the method of extinction than the extinction itself. Even the collapse of this reality, while grand is minor in the face of what I believe comes after. I prefer not to make too big a big deal out of the inevitable, at least not until I get there.
There is no need to implement DMCA if the people that would sue you over it are happy. The system they use is extremely aggressive in matching anything and everything, and gives copyright owners the choice to get money from it without doing anything, remove it, or just give credit.

There does not have to be a connection with DMCA rules if this is what keeps the bigcorps happy. Laws typically only get enacted when you make someone angry.
It was a personal referral :O
I think it's arguable that a tax credit is not a tax cut, precisely because it doesn't necessarily reduce taxes paid but rather can return money not paid.

> As an outsider it feels like young people in America are getting their values from some kind of cult of political correctness. It seems to be doing the same thing that the religious right used to do at one point in time. The old censorious approach to a new set of blasphemous topics has become the norm.

> What seems obviously broken is the fact that ideals like free speech, free association, due process, etc. have taken a backseat to some new rules like inclusivity, hyper sensitivity and hyper empathy.

"As an insider" it seems like this as well. Not everyone in America falls so far on either side that we can't see this.
That 24% under 18 are claimed by their parent/guardians.
Then I suggest you read up on the situation.
Let me summarize the argumemts here for convenience:

- HSR is dumb because it's too expensive to build a HSR from coast to coast

- HSR is dumb because it's slower than flying

- HSR is dumb because self-driving cars do everything HSR does, but better

- HSR is dumb because electric scooters are much better for getting around town

I am wondering what this mythical HSR is, that electric scooters and coast-to-coast flights are somehow both the nails in its coffin. Straw men doesn't even begin to describe it!

HSR is of course complementary to all of the technologies above. Heaven forfend, though, that we pursue a future transit system in more than one mode at a time...

This paper surveys "near memory compute", https://wicil.ece.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ispd.p...

> The confluence of the recent advances in technology and
the ever-growing demand for large-scale data analytics created a renewed interest in a decades-old concept, processing-in-memory (PIM). PIM, in general, may cover a very wide spectrum of compute capabilities embedded in close proximity to or even inside the memory array. In this paper,
we present an initial taxonomy for dividing PIM into two broad categories: 1) Near-memory processing and 2) In-memory processing.
Brand loyalty is fickle. Back in the day you could get everything from the Sears catalog and now we all buy from Amazon as Sears trudges through bankruptcy.
Why it took so long is that:

(a) C++ is an international standard, has a huge installed base of business- and mission-critical software, probably billions of lines of code, tens of millions of programmers, and we can't afford to get things wrong (though we still do sometimes).

(b) Nobody has built a large, _very_ generic, general purpose, high-performance library, on top of the (also new) C++ concepts language feature before. We were figuring it out as we went.

(c) While standardizing this piece, we were also thinking 5 to 10 years down the road and trying to make sure what we were standardizing now would evolve well. For instance, we already know pretty well what using ranges with coroutines will look like (i.e., reactive streams). We already know what other lazy range adaptors we want, and we know they work with the bits we're getting for C++20. We know how to integrate eager adaptors that transform containers and compose. This all needed to be built, tested, and well-understood.

As for why it is `std::ranges::sort` instead of `std::sort`, this exercise wasn't just about adding overloads that take ranges instead of iterators. It was also about rigorously specifying in code what the requirements of each algorithm are. For Reasons, we can't just slap new requirements on old algorithms that have been shipping for 20 years. It will break mountains of code. Nobody likes having two `sort` algorithms in two different namespaces. It is preferable to the alternative.
