The app is deleted, but the frameworks and system assets it relies on are not.
I would argue that Los Angeles might possibly have San Francisco beat, just slightly, but the Michelin Guide hasn’t given stars in LA for over a decade. Still, it’s no where near New York, and per capita, SF is easily top of the list.
I don't understand the equivalence to oil at all -- are they saying that one barrel of this contaminated water has the same environmental impact of dumping a barrel of oil in the water?

I don't really understand the relevance of equating water waste to exports, if it were a nation known for pork exports, would they put the water volume in terms of hogs?

> If all those families moved to Germany because there was no future in Turkey, it's highly unlikely that learning Turkish will do any good for them

The classes are for people who only speak German. People emigrating from Turkey likely speak Turkish.

It's about understanding other cultures, and the ones most relevent. Just like how in England, along with learning about christianity, we learnt about Islam.

It's like in the US, Spanish is the most popular second language taught in schools, since you're very close to large numbers of spanish speakers, and have a high number of spanish-speaking migrants. In the UK, amongst a load of other reasons, until very recently French was the most poopular second language in schools, since France is pretty close to us.
Their list is extremely outdated, and represents a fairly narrow view of Austrians (most modern Austrians not affiliated with LvMI, which is the majority of them, do quite a bit of quantitative work where it's warranted).

GMU is still the center (it's an Austrian fusion, but there's still a LOT of Austrian stuff -- Bryan Caplan is the exception rather than the rule), but Texas Tech, Troy, SJSU, FSU, and a number of others have heavy representation. I can think of at least 25 universities off the top of my head with at least one open Austrian on faculty. And yes, syllabi aren't just Austrian stuff -- even Austrians want you to learn Economics, not just what Mises said about Economics.

The whole point of the article was that EVs (in this case, specifically Teslas) are not yet ready to be driven like normal cars, i.e., without regard to planning refueling stops.

It's not clickbait, it's literally the point of the test and the resultant article.
It's going to be dumped near the shoreline, where sea life is very different from what is supported in the open ocean. If the shoreline is made uninhabitable, the marine life there might not have anywhere else to go.
As someone currently looking for a job with Rust, there are tons of opportunities out there. I am obviously a bit of a special case, but I’ve had probably forty inquiries so far, from several FAANGs, YC startups, and others. There's enough that even though there are some places that didn't reach out and that I know are using Rust, I haven't had the time to apply myself.

It is true that there’s no nearly as many as Java or C++, but that’s pretty normal given relative ages.

It’s not about the amount of bail but rather the price of a bond.

If the bond costs 10% then you can’t pay bail if it’s set to 10 million or even a million or even lower for most people, if it’s capped at say $100 something that even some US states do then it’s not as much of a problem.

If you look at the US bondsman industry it’s focused on the states not with the highest average bail set but those with the highest prices on bail bonds.
My only feedback is to commend the author on including a "Similar projects" section in the README file. I love when authors are not afraid to compare their projects to other similar pieces of work.
It used to be if you did the Windows installation yourself from a clean image from Microsoft, you didn't get crapware. With Windows 10 I can report this is no longer true. You get Candy Crush and all sorts of nonsense. I had a non-removable XBox app. I had to disable a lot of crap to get Windows 10 to perform well in a VM on one of my machines.

I always pin dependencies to fixed versions in production software, which makes it less likely that my toolchain gets poisoned by a rogue version update. Also, for languages that allow it I bundle dependencies locally (in Python e.g. using Wheels) or run my own registry proxy, which makes poisoning by registry takeover also less likely. Personally I think there are bigger threats than malicious dependencies, especially if an adversary specifically targets me. My biggest concern is what happens when someone takes over our CI/CD setup, as that gives way more access to an adversary.
Sorry, I read your initial response as rather glib about a practice that is generally considered wrong. If that wasn't your intention, I apologize.

I do understand that the contract was legal. And suspect Chan's parents likely gave it great consideration. Doesn't make the practice, or the circumstances that lead to it, any more palatable to me.
Maybe that's common in other countries, but in the US I see a lot of low wage workers driving large, practical vehicles like older model F150s and Chevy Tahoes. Sure they burn a lot of gas, but they can do everything and are relatively easy to repair.

yeah, the majority of my male friends are addicted to gaming and living in an alternate reality; it is something I have struggled with as well. Though I have always held a job and currently am enrolled in college in pursuit of my B.S. Comp sci degree, I would rather relax at home and game on my PS4/PC than go out to bars or clubs. Every year I spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on new games, hardware, monitors and whatever comforts that enhance that experience.

Many of us don't see the point in chasing marriage, higher education, careers, relationships or being a homeowner. The dating game in most cities is abysmal, and the majority of attractive single ladies are high end escorts, sugar babies and or gold diggers. There are many factors in society that has led to that. Sure I can spend a thousand or two on a nice watch, but for what? I can get a high NUC PC and huge monitor for that price. The same applies to a luxury car, sure I can afford it, but I would rather walk, take the train/bus or uber, so that I space out and listen to podcasts, youtube or game while commuting.

Phillip Zimbardo wrote a recent book on the afflictions that young men are facing today. It seems dauntless. Sometimes, I too ask myself if the chase is worth it. My gut feeling is that it's not.

The exact statement by kirro was:

> Do I think that letting a baby starve to death because it is basically a parasite is morally desirable: no.

I read that as kirro rejecting the idea, not endorsing it. If it's not rejecting the idea of "parasite", it definitely is a rejection of the implications of the idea. That is, kirro is not attempting to dog whistle. kirro is in fact explicitly rejecting the dog whistle implications.

Ulysses was fantastic when I last used it to do a multi-chapter document. I separated the chapters into their own files, it remembered each chapter's scroll position so it was easy to look things up in each, and the default templates looked superb.

I stopped using it when it went to a subscription, though. I can't accuse a company that lets you write in Markdown, basically plain text, as rent-seeking, but I dislike my workflow being held hostage like that. Haven't really found a suitable, multi-document replacement yet.

Exactly my point: This is true in Chinese (Hanzi) as well.

Edit: English-speaking individuals often overestimate the difficulty of learning Hanzi while underestimate the barrier of learning English spelling. For an example, see Ted Chiang's claim of "you need only learn a few dozen symbols and you can read most everything printed in a newspaper" [0].

The Postmodern Condition
Ya I'm troubled by this too. I'm really into bodybuilding but the human body simply can't recover unless it eats beef/salmon/eggs/chicken/etc at least one or more times per week, especially after the minor injuries that inevitably come with lifting weights.

As a general rule, I never eat mammals that are omnivores or carnivores, so pigs and anything higher in the food chain are out. Veganism is a little unrealistic IMHO, but you can certainly eat these in the following order from most to least and try to stay vegetarian as much as possible:

* diary products - eggs, milk, cheese

* shellfish - clams, shrimp

* fish - tuna, salmon

* foul - chicken, turkey

* beef

If you look at beef as sacred (as many cultures do), then the death of one cow can feed countless people. In terms of deaths vs nutrition, it's probably the best meat source. Unfortunately it has environmental consequences, for example the desertification in the west is due to cow and sheep ranching. Usually my only serving of meat each day is a turkey sandwich. Then a cheeseburger once a week for recovery. And I weigh 260 pounds, coming up on a 300/400/500 bench/squat/deadlift so if I can eat meat sparingly, anyone can.

Swift does, but typically for Optional promotion. You see stuff like `guard let delegate = delegate else { return }` inside functions all the time, shadowing a property with a local & promoting the type from Optional<T> to T.

It's not the same as the Rust example because you're shadowing an ivar to a local, but since `self.` is implicit you're still shadowing.
I meant what's the advantage of using RPC instead of XMLHttpRequest to communicate with the server.
Thank you for the comment, I wish the original article included much of the same.

I'm a 100% Linux user for the last 8 years and a fellow enthusiast. That said, I'm a web-app programmer and worry greatly about security. I have no idea about the internals of Linux or any other OS and really have no time to learn it. I NEED to be able to rely on people who know this part of CS.

So, with that said, and with honest and open intrigue: If to "...realistically secure a Linux system is almost impossible", then how does the internet not crash and burn? It is my understanding that most servers run on Linux, and their exposure to the internet makes them inherently extremely available for targeting. Are they all secretly compromised? Waiting for some global signal? Certainly, there are thousands+ of Linux-based VPS's out there set up by folks with only the most basic skills that have had sites up and running for years (self included). Are those just automatically pwned, and we can expect large swathes of the internet to stop working at any moment because the "dumpster fire" of Linux was used at the heart?

Should I switch my server to an Apple-based one so that I can benefit from the best security?

It doesn't help that the markup on real cheese at most stores is extreme. Going to a grocery store with a flat percentage markup over wholesale on everything was pretty eye opening - cheese was much, much cheaper, and milk was actually more expensive.
Most people in the Americas live in cities, and that number is constantly increasing with urbanization. With proper urban planning and funding, public transit in the US/Canada could be far better than it is, and a useful way of getting around. But there seems to be no political will to do this. Cities in Europe are far better laid out and planned, with mixed-use development (shops on the ground floor, apartments on top), but North America seems to be allergic to this and wants subdivisions with McMansions instead.

Right, but we're getting away from illustrating the point of the paper, which isn't about number computability (interestingly) but about cardinality of sets. The intractability of this machine learning problem could have more to do with an absence of a successor function in the Real numbers than about the cardinality of uncomputable numbers. Or it could be a consequence of properties of differing infinite sets in general, like the difference between the Reals and the power set of the Reals. What I'm trying to get at is that we're not just talking about infinite decimal expansions.
The book you keep citing was published in 1984. A lot has happened in China, especially in regards to education reform between 1984 and 2018. Aside from that book, I see no other signs of "serious scholarly dispute about the success of the Chinese script.".
Nope, earliest invention of the Alphabet, is by Phoenicians. "Partially made the jump" is a weasel answer. What does it mean? How does that challenge the fact that Phoenicians were there first to develop then spread a new writing system? Only you really know I suspect and I suspect also any future answers coming from you will have equally vague claims of someone else "maybe" "possibly" "somewhat" "in a way" "kinda partially" did the same thing but when and was it before the Phoenicians and was it exactly a writing system with a universal alphabet developed well enough to be widely adopted, who knows. Weasel arguers rarely give specifics.
