I don’t buy this. It seems they’ve tested one potential explanation only, GDP. What about the size of the city per se or mean walking distant between objects? As example: Berlin is a city which is not compact and quite spread out. What if people just need to walk quicker there to make it to work on time? I am not saying this is true. But I want to make a point that you could come up with other things to test easily.

Police Story and Chan's other 80s movies are the rare genuinely "all ages" entertainment (the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is Spongebob).

They're good for kids because they are funny and full of action without being grim or dark. They're easy to follow, even for young kids, because of the lack of shaky cam and fast cuts.

They're good for adults because of all the crazy choreography and stunts.

Police Story is definitely my favorite!
Mongo and Amazon are both large companies, but mongo are the only ones here trying to stiff their customers. Selling a product that uses open source software is not ripping anybody off, and the only party in this situation who are upholding open source values are Amazon. The only thing I can take away from this is that if I get too successful using Mongo technology, that they’re happy to change their license to try extort money from me. I find this to be especially greasy since open source product like this become successful because of their open source nature. They exist because the community that exists around them, and for them to turn around and decide to spit in our faces by dictating how we can consume the product just makes me hope their product is forked and that they go under.
Mostly Chicago, really, because I've lived there for 25 years, but Austin would work too (somewhat less culture, though). Denver, Minneapolis, probably more.

After that it's probably more a matter of taste than anything. I don't think I would want to live in Omaha, but I certainly want to live in San Jose even less. And once you get to the point where a family becomes important, SV certainly is not the place where I want to raise kids, unless I wwre to win the lottery and be able to send them to a private school.
Sure, with a duplicate distance function and one 100-line function? For me that in itself is horrible lol. But as a new programmer he should still be commended but bro, give credit only to where its due. And here its the fact that he's new, not that the code is "beautiful". (You're making me doubt what you think of beautiful code, but i guess since he's your brother you're definitely biased.)
Cahill park is frequented by dog owners (and their dogs) and has a really nice playground for kids, it's a good anchor for a family friendly neighborhood.

There's also a great used book store a quarter mile further down the Alameda
Thank you so much! I remember reading this book during my childhood, but the title and author have been lost to me for like two and a half decades.

I actively look for these books I remember little snatches of... I thought this one was a Stanislaw Lem book, and though I really, really enjoyed "Memoirs found in a bathtub" - but that wasn't this. The chant of "sanitized for your protection" during the ritual use of the toilet really sticks out in my childhood memory. I wonder if it will be as great, reading it as an adult?
Judging from the downvotes you should maybe add where this quote comes from...
You’re right about the article. But the SSPL approach is different from what we’ve seen from Redis Labs, Elastic, Cofluent, and Cockroach. SSPL applies to Mongo’s “open core” itself. The other companies have applied new terms to previously “closed shell” add-ons.

The question is whether giants will pay the cost of reimplementing entire stacks, core and shell. I don’t have the time myself, so I’ll have to wait on a report about how compatible AWS DocumentDB really is.

Given AWS history, I’d expect they’ll get most of the popular functionality, most of the way, but gotchas will abound, and they’ll never hit 100%. Switching cost of code won’t bottom out unless DocumentDB takes lead mindshare, which closed clones rarely manage.
Really? Prop-a-gan-da. It's spelled exactly how it sounds.

The term "fake news" is borderline infantile. Maybe we should just redirect en.wikipedia.org to simple.wikipedia.org. Hey, it's simpler right? In fact, let's phase out English from public discourse and all restrict ourselves to Ogden's Basic English. We'll have to rename "fake news" though, 'fake' isn't on that list. It's now "false news."

Well, in Verona, Italy, a few years ago the mayor installed benches with an armrest to make it harder for homeless people to sleep on them [1].
His party (Lega) is now (practically speaking) leading Italy. I wouldn't be surprised if many people would be in favor of forbidding black migrants from "stealing our water".

I suspect the reason why they ate meat rarely was because it was expensive (even when it's your animal, it still has a cost), not because they were squeamish about it.
Indeed, and YOU are, #2!
The world is anti-China, you know, with putting millions of innocent muslims in concentration camps, harvesting organs, building a surveillance state and whatnot.

Once the social credit score is fully rolled out then it should be trivial to get rid off (argubly before that as well), put increased tax on unhealthy food and "encourage" companies and supermarkets to sell less unhealthy/more healthy, deduct points for eating unhealthy, ban companies from selling certain products (e.g. give Coca Cola a year to replace their drinks with healthy alternatives). It's difficult to imagine any resistance from the citizens considering what they've gotten away with already, and considering they have full control over media and social networks.
I prefer the phrase "According to people familiar with their thinking"
I believe you're exaggerating the threat a laugh at the "fake-newsness" of a scientific study about fake news can bring.

One can't account for everyone, but there's no conversation to be had ever, about *anything, if you automatically presume that the other person is not at least somewhat serious about the subject matter and does not care about it at least a little bit.

I'm sure grown men and women will not lose their capacity for critical thinking after a laugh. If anything, the humor's role is to relieve tension. Maybe it would enhance the conversation.

Not that there is any, at the moment. The paper got retracted, and we know why, and we know the reason wasn't a matter of falsification, but in the following of the ethics of science. The way I see it, there are other subjects around the news that are worth considering – for example, as someone in the comments has already mentioned, how come the bug hasn't been noticed before.
I'm surprised they don't mention the obvious practical reason. I walk faster when I'm in the city because I have farther to go.

Last week, I was working in a smaller city 30 miles out. So I drove, and out in the suburbs, I can park pretty close to where I'm going.

Today, I was working in the city, a mile from home. At that distance, there's a good chance I wouldn't be able to find parking any closer to where I'm going! So I walk, and that's a decent amount of ground to cover.

Smaller city means better parking, so you don't need to walk as far. When you get really small (like Psychro), things are naturally close enough together you don't need to walk far at all.

I'd look not just at how long it takes people to cover 50 feet, but the starting/ending points for their entire trips. I bet when people take optimal modes of transportation for their routes, their trips simply require more walking in bigger cities.
Whatever happened to user studies? If you want to find out why your product sucks, pay your target audience to use it! I bought a laptop from Gigabyte a little while back that they wanted feedback on, so they offered a $30 woolies card for filling out a form.
1) It makes perfect sense that a new account is created and that transactions pre-incorporation are not automatically imported. Your new company is required to have accurate books; you can't pretend that transactions executed before the company existed (ie. by you personally?) were actually executed by the company you've later incorporated.

2) SVB seems to be nobody's favorite bank, but it's quite clear to me that they have been chosen for their willingness to bank for every Atlas customer—including companies founded and operated by non-U.S. persons—without requiring an in-person visit. If this is not a problem for you then consider yourself lucky for having other choices.

3) Your third problem sounds like you've identified a better bank, but they have not accepted you as a client. How is that an issue with Stripe Atlas? They have simply identified and worked with a bank who was willing accept you.
Plants don't have a central nervous system that can experience discomfort or stress. The terms are used as an analogy. My laptops emits heat when it is "stressed" as well.
Scalatags is not a VDOM implementation, though, and the Elm architecture (one giant state machine) is very different to what you'd typically see in a Scala.js application. A closer analog, in my opinion, would be ClojureScript + Reagent, but even that doesn't feature Elm's focus around immutability.
>An Open Source phone would only be actually beneficial if there will be an automated transparent and trusted global support infrastructure for it that would require zero user interaction.

I think that's a given except for the zero interaction. Even my android phone alerts me of updates. Anyways, you make it sound like it's nearly an impossible task, but nearly every day my ubuntu laptop alerts me of updates and then updates in the background far more seamlessly than my windows workstation. Plus the distro has over 4 years of support. This is something linux distros figured out years ago.
The same didn't happen during the IRA campaigns. Are you supposing that the people of London are scared ? I'm fairly sure that people in London walk fast as they have busy lives, not because they think walking fast will increase their likelihood of survival. Perhaps the behaviour you describe is more US centric?
AWS prioritizes launch above EVERYTHING. It is their strategy, to have market tells them what to build.

I think it works, and AWS has yet been brought down by this horizontal complexity. Quite an achievement, but might not be a satisfying experience for the engineers work there.

To my amateurish understanding, it does go smaller than atoms, with subatomic particles like protons which themselves are made of quarks. Beyond that string theorists would say that there would be strings and that's it. Others might say some kind of quantum foam.

Going up, galaxies make up groups which combine into superclusters that form the cosmic web of the observable universe.

So for all intents and purposes, we can essentially say the universe and the various scales are infinite because it may as well be for humans.
I lived in Chicago for ten years so that one was easy to spot ^_^

I have family in Denver, it has a lot going for it, but none of Denver, Minneapolis nor Austin can be said to have 'far more culture' than SF.

I think the Bay has become overpriced for what you get, personally, but places with more cultural cachet in the US are NYC, LA, Chicago, and maybe Boston and Philly. If you don't like winter, it's Cali or nothing.
This was also the thing that attracted me to Elm years ago. But at that time Elm doesn't have a CSS module yet. Now with Elm-UI, it is like my dream HTML/CSS replacement.

However that was all for static UI though. Writing Elm app is still a pain if you are not a Javascript expert. Elm's implementation of the web API is minimal and the progress is extremely slow. In addition, most function that's in libraries in Javascript's ecosystem can not be directly used as you have to write Ports, which requires a lot of Javascript experience.

WeasyPrint looks to have progressed a lot since last I looked at it (when there was no way I could use it at all, though I can’t remember the reason), but looks to still be quite limited. A couple of things that spring to my attention immediately: no flexbox, and no CSSOM (so that you can’t adjust the document based on layout at all unless you can do it in straight CSS). Still, in practice probably usable for what I was doing several years ago, with similar limitations to Prince (which also has no CSSOM implementation, though at least it has a JavaScript engine). But anything more advanced in the way of fine page-dependent layout, I get the impression that WeasyPrint won’t be able to do, while Prince is superb at handling such things.
Asking for approval, even if that approval is typically granted, still implies that they have the authority to refuse permission. The farthest that the employer's moral authority extends is to ask politely to be informed. Not to require to be informed, and certainly not to require approval.
Sent you an e-mail.
> I'm surprised they don't mention the obvious practical reason. I walk faster when I'm in the city because I have farther to go.

I tend to walk slower when I'm going a longer distance because I want to avoid arriving at my destination drenched in sweat, although I suppose this could be driven partially by the fact that I live in a tropical city (Hong Kong).

There's no equal payoff. It's a tribute to ego. Ellison never got over being barely outbid for the Warriors.
Influence on what? A particular field, or somehow all of them, weighted? Using lots of different criteria sounds good, but then the weighting you use become more significant.. I guess the only way is to yourself become the most influential arbiter of who's influential. Come to think of it, anyone on one of the main 'influential people' lists is made (much) more influential just by impressing people by appearing in it.

So maybe first decide who you would want to be in your list, then make it so... A self-fulfilling prophecy. You become more right by publishing it. If only science worked like that! (Well..it does, in a way.)
It is more complex, but Modula-3 isn't that tiny either, around Algol 68/Ada 83 "tiny".

They integrated the improvements from M#/System C# (Midori) into C#.

Namely return ref, ref for local variables, stack allocation for arrays in safe code, spans (slices) across all memory types, allocation free pipelines.
Wtf? People like different things from their cities. Some people like living in cities with lots of different options for entertainment, lots of diversity. Others like the quietness, calm and cleanliness of suburbia.

My guess on these reasons is that Amazon wanted to integrate MongoDB with their own proprietary algorithms, storage, infrastructure, and/or other solutions they already created. In my experience, databases (even with different structures) use a lot of similar components like transactions, caching, I/O pages, concurrency etcetera. If they rewrite the whole project, they could potentially use many parts that they already used in different projects.

A Geforce GTX 1060 GPU?
One of the reason I like Elm is that it has great potential for great IDEs. If you use Vim with lot of plugins then it is already sort of a minimal IDE right? Most IDE you hate perhaps have a lot of UX design problems. Good IDEs should aim for a better overall coding experience, by this definition.

For example in Elm, all the nice error messages can appear next to the line, and all the case-of statements can be auto-completed according to the type definition, it all adds to an overall better coding experience.

The closest thing we have to a large star forming region is the Orion nebula but the one there is so big that if it were where the Orion nebula is, our solar system would be inside it.
Yup, Prince is great. There are reasons they can get paid when WeasyPrint is free. But my parent post already knew about Prince and specifically wanted to know about an OSS one.
That's a pretty big shut-in. Unless you're going to run a server farm full of iPads, it's useless to anyone outside of Apple.

I am more or less a vegetarian, and have always wondered why Chinese food is seemingly able to hold down obesity as compared to Indian food (I'm Indian) - well, modern Indian food at least. I am not sure whether the traditional Indian food of 70-80 years ago was as oily, fatty and unhealthy as today's fare.

Steady Health | Software Engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite
Managing your diabetes well can be the difference between a long, healthy life and heart attack, cardiovascular disease, amputations, and blindness. Today, diabetes care is based on guidelines that are the same for everyone, regardless of motivation, lifestyle and other individual factors.

Steady Health (https://steady.health) is changing diabetes care by leveraging a new technology and dataset, continuous glucose monitors. These sensors let patients track their levels throughout the day without pricking their fingers with complex equipment. We’re building an entirely new clinic experience that use data analysis to help patients understand how diet, physical activity, and medication is impacting their blood sugar levels.

I’m an experienced founder who previously sold a company to Dropbox. My co-founder is an MD who specializes in internal medicine. I’ve also been diabetic for 18 years so between us we know both the patient, and care side, really well.

We're looking for passionate people with a low ego and a drive to learn. Our first clinic will be in San Francisco and we are currently building out our founding engineering and care teams. The company is backed by top funds and angels including former Dropbox CTO and Head of Data Science at Airbnb.

Come and change an important piece of health care with us, email me at henrik@steady.health and read my story https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
I also wished voting with your money/feet helped, but probably not the case if not enough people care.

Fun story, I went to Iceland 2 years ago. When I did research for car rental, it seemed like car rental companies in Iceland are notorious for ripping you off/charging you for damage you didn't have etc. I spent hours reading reviews and came down to only 2 companies that didn't have such reviews out of dozens.

I was about to book with one of them, and only when I was all the way to the credit card step I realized they weren't on https. And I only found out because Chrome warned me -- I had just assumed everyone with credit card forms would be on https. So I stopped there and booked with the other company I found.

A day later they emailed me (I filled out my email info already when I stopped at payments), I guess they had drop off tracking. I told them the reason I didn't book was because they didn't have https. They said thanks and will have their web team look at it.

Last year (1 year after my trip) I checked their site out of curiosity. The payments form still didn't have https.
OCaml and Standard ML are two others, and I'd say OCaml is established enough that Elm is not really breaching new ground here. The main difference is that OCaml has other features you tend to use instead, particularly the module system.
