Court rejects FCC request to delay net neutrality case
Everybody had "predicted" 2000 and 2008 in the financial industry. That statement means nothing at this point.
That's a fair statement to make, and one that I have heard before but the definition of what constitutes the working class is arguable thus most people predefine it per scope of conversation, and not in a global sense.

For example, in the UK, commonly doctors and lawyers have not been considered part of the working class, regardless of if their investments outside of their profession.

Because a doctor can work independently, and hire other workers like nurses, and attendants, and own all of their tools of trade outright, they are part of the petit bourgeois.

Now you say that petit bourgeois is part of the working class, but many would disagree as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels popularized a more fine grained definition of social classes as follows:

1. the working class - factory workers, peasants, and people who earn only by their labour

2. lumpenproletariat (commonly considered to include vagabonds, criminals or the 'unthinking poor')

3. professional middle-classes (engineers or tradesmen who do not typically hire employees)

3. petit-bourgeoisie - Professionals and small scale managers who hire workers but work alongside them

4. haute bourgeoisie - landed aristocracy & other capitalists who live from investment alone

Now if you are not marxists, you may drop some of the classes or simply call them something else. The lumpenproletariat are sometimes called the "underclass", and in advanced capitalist economies the line between professional middle-classes and petit-bourgeois blurs due to capital infusions from the top. For example, startup owners should rightly be professional middle class, but are upgraded due to VC infusion.

There are other ways to define the classes as well that don't depend on monetary wealth----for example the ladder from: working class to bourgeoisies to gentry to elite/aristocrats, so the terms themselves are fairly overloaded.

Analysing class warfare is a bit of my hobby. I blame my sassy liberal arts professors. :)

Thanks! I would def love to read your posts about this.

I have a 3d printer at home that i picked up a couple years ago, so I know how much of a time sink these things could be. Regardless, every time I print something, it makes up for all the lost time/money.
goofy suggestion. those are both either grad or senior undergrad books depending on where you are. much better suggestion is

It's been a long time since I've done C++. I wonder if

The leaves of some amaranth species, cooked as a dry curry, are damn tasty. Can't remember where and when I had it, except that it was long ago, and in India. Probably was made with some onions and common Indian spices, but that alone did not account for the good taste - it's the plant itself. Might have been in North or South India - the Wikipedia article says it is used in both those areas, and also many other areas worldwide.
I don't know if that's how charity write-offs work, but given the option that's probably what I'd do yeah. I think that explains why so many billionaires are philanthropists, too.
More like uninformed people don't consider them problems, or at least not problems outweighing the benefits. There are several things that make "problems" more or less problematic, one of which being hyper-focus on negatives, which is why it's relevant.
This reminds me of the time I experimented with screen recording for self-analysis and productivity. It sometimes captured things I didn't want on video, but I forgot to turn off the recorder while I was deleting the footage. So I ended up with footage of me trying to cover up embarrassing footage.

This group would have been founded specifically against the Vietnam War, which America entered on the flimsiest of pretexts[1] with no clear national interest beyond "fuck Communists", and which killed tens of thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians. I don't see how it could possibly be clearer.

Yes, me too.

The only possible explanation is that we are bots.
You are both right, farmers measure rainfall in inches, (which translates to inch acres) so it is both a mesurement of distance (inches) and acres (how many they own) think of centimeters per year the same way. Yes topsoil can be made much faster than these numbers given but there are consiquesnces, methane is released from the process of composting which is 19 times the greenhouse gas than the CO2 released from burning.
Also the volume is affected by soil compaction and the production potential is affected by increased salinity from unused fertilizer, the outlook is scary but humans always adapt.

Any standard abstract algebra textbook will cover rings in gross detail. Dummit and Foote is a much beloved standard, but is also used in graduate classes. I've heard good things about Pinter's book (http://www2.math.umd.edu/%7Ejcohen/402/Pinter%20Algebra.pdf).

For lattices, there's Birkhoff's book on lattice theory, which is where I learned what I know about it. I haven't spent any time with other books.
Don't study "math." Find a topic or a problem you'd like to understand, look up the prerequisite knowledge for it, and start there.

You need to know what you want to do before you go looking for resources. There is no set agreement on what should constitute an undergraduate applied mathematics curriculum, and you are likely to get lost in the deluge of conflicting information. On the other hand, the undergraduate pure mathematics curriculum has been more or less stable for half a century. Any college curriculum will do at this point, and many are freely accessible online.

Either way, there is no shortage of information and resources available. Any topic you'd choose as a layperson likely already has a course or a seminar covering it, and the corresponding syllabus should give you what you need.
There are good reasons to provide unique aliases to companies requesting an email:

- if they start sending you spam you can severe their capacity to contact you by deleting the alias

- if they give your contact to a third party, you know from the alias who leaked your email address

- if you see an email on a data breach like this one, you know immediately which website got hacked

- it makes it really hard to correlate your identity across two websites

Review: Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
This is a fairly shallow yet a highly opinionated piece. The title contradicts itself as the author attempts to answer a question with endless possibilities for an answer.

Yes, some people have this idea of a 'dream' on the beach and what other nonsense that people promote the digital nomad lifestyle to be.

So, is the author jealous or simply too scared to find out the truth for himself? Because truth is what you will find.
Here is a great example:

At least one tardigrade has been frozen in "a block of ice for three decades", then thawed, and gone on to reproduce. A tardigrade egg in the frozen sample also thawed, hatched, and reproduced. So it's possible.

A conversion rate of 0.01% on 700 million addresses and a ~$1000 demand makes you 70million dollar. That's a lot of money for just sending 700 million emails.
Youd have to give away 100% tho, if you gave away 70% you'd still owe 70% on the remaining 30%.

Also, remember this is income tax. Not capital gains tax. So that means 10 million in salary, not stock sales. About 12,000 people in the US make over 10 million that way, and about 1000 people make over 50 million. This conversation is about an infinitesimally small portion of the population. It's kind of a weird conversation to play out across the news media and campaign ads. "Liberals want to tax you" ads are actually one of those 12,000 people paying the television to shout "please vote not to tax me for your own enrichment" to the other 99.99% of the population. They dangle the carrot of an america dream, implying "One day when you are in the 10 million dollar club you wouldnt want this for yourself, treat me how you would want to be treated," full well knowing that 99.99% of the population will never be making 10 million.
On the warehouse side, the incumbents are doing that. Funnily enough, I was at Amazon's AWS Summit in London a while back, and one of the presenters was a guy who'd worked on some European supermarket's automated warehouse fulfilment stuff, using AWS. Automating delivery to consumer (ie self-driving vehicles) is a long, long way off, and Amazon isn't a particular leader in the field anyway. If it's ever workable, Tesco et al will just license it from Waymo or someone. As will Amazon, probably.

And I think the ordering side is more important than you think. Doing a weekly shop with Amazon's awful website would be a miserable process; Tesco et al are already far ahead, there. I'm sure Amazon can catch up, but the idea that it has first mover advantage (except maybe in the US) is ridiculous. The big supermarkets also already have an extensive pre-existing warehouse system.
Maybe the title of the article is bit unlucky, if it was named "how I made my library faster and more compatible", would that change your opinion?

And yes, it's only a 252 ms improvement, but that's a whopping 44% time saved. If you need to do lots and lots of mesh optimizing, that might be very well worth it.

John Baez (physicist / category theorist / smort dude) has a list of books to learn math and physics. Is an interesting source to crib from.

Not math though.

I'm not necessarily suggesting that a mountain of books is the best way to go about it. I think I respond best to video lectures. I'm not sure where you're starting from or how applied/pure you want. Here's a quick mind dump some of my favorites and some that I haven't watched. Roughly in order of how much I liked them.

I meant it partly as a joke, but the downvotes clearly indicate its not a lauging matter. css-grid is good, of course, but animating it has little application IMHO beyond nicer looking responsive design. I've been wrong in the past though - so I might wrong again.
Make sure no-one has access to it?

I've not looked deeply into it to the point of setting it up myself, but as far as I know anyone can self-host a 'comet' (an identifier type with 128-bit address depth). If you wanted to interact with people through the system, you don't have to own a planet, or even get a moon (subset of a planet) as far as I know. Comet users would probably be second-class citizens when it comes to spam filters and the like, though.

I'm interested to see where this whole thing goes, if it goes anywhere. There's something appealing about insane, deliberately esoteric-seeming systems.
I think the parent comment is pointing out that the government is supposed to be prohibited from collecting information unless it needs to (e.g. reasonable suspicion), no matter if it's public or not.

Specifically, in the U.S., the Supreme Court confirmed that public data can still be protected by a warrant if used to compose a "mosaic" of something within a person's reasonable expectation of privacy.

So, could a private company follow you around and read every tweet you post publicly? Yes. Could a government do the same without a warrant (or even ask the company to give the information to them)? No.

The restriction is on the government, not the data. I guess in Europe, now with the GDPR, this restriction also falls on companies, too.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to take a second look at it, since I'll only use it on one machine at a time.
Other people's help is indeed one of the most effective ways to learn. My problem with that is simply finding such people - given my extremely introverted disposition it's much harder for me than for normies - and also what you say, ie. finding people who would not quit after three sessions.

Then I thought, why can't I just buy the time of someone competent? There are many students who tutor high school kids, shouldn't students who can teach first/second-year material for pay exist?

I wonder, have anyone tried this? To me, it looks like a perfect solution and I can't think of any downsides. I'm not sure how to approach this exactly - where to find such a tutor in the first place - but it should be possible, right?

I would use such private lessons for getting a summary/overview of the subject first, then after some self-study, I would ask about whatever I couldn't comprehend. It would have minimal impact on my schedule, shouldn't cost that much, and should be quite efficient.

Well, it's just an idea I had some time back, I didn't try it in reality yet, but I think I'll try going this way in the future. I'd like to ask what do you think, is it possible, could that really work out?
I used to live near Baron's Court, around the back of Charing Cross Hospital. My favourite walks were either down to Putney - that stretch after Fulham's ground near Bishop's Park is glorious during the Spring and Autumn in a tunnel of leaves - or go the other way towards the Fuller's brewery and take in some of the pubs en route.

I now live over in Twickenham which has even finer walks along the river or across Richmond Hill, but I always thought it amazing that those vistas over to the Wetlands were available in the heart of Zone 2.

I had math through some introductory calculus when I was an undergrad 20 years ago, but I let my skills lapse. But I want to understand enough math so that I can do some more complex electronics projects and some statistics / ML / intelligence analysis. This level of math, as I recall, is more or less the math core of the undergrad engineering program I dropped out of in favor of a philosophy degree (cause I am dumb as dirt).

In March of '18 I started doing lessons on Khan and just played around until I couldn't do the problems easily, and for me that was, like literally adding fractions and using exponents. So I had pretty basic skills at that point.

At thus point, I'm finishing the unit on using derivatives to optimize functions around min/max. Not a big deal, but a long way from where I started 10 months ago.

I've had a lot of luck with:

a) khan academy

the lessons are very simple and well broken up, the teaching is interesting, and the site is gameified in a way that is rewarding

b) doing it as close to literally every single day as I can manage

Math fluidity feels (at least to me) very much like my fluidity with music theory or programming. As such I need to do it regularly. Even if I don't get all into a flow state about it (which, I think is necessary on the scale of any given week), I do need do it a little bit every day... that both keeps me doing it and keeps it in the forefront of my mind.

c) keeping a notebook

I do all my work in a single notebook and use it to both track my progress and as a reference. It's also been neat to see how far I've come.

-=-=-=

I dunno if any of that is useful to anyone else. But I feel like I've had a lot of luck educating myself in math. At this rate, I should be through integral calculus by the end of the spring and through the linear algebra class by fall, and then I will move my deep, long-term learning projects over to something else, hopefully a deeper dive into electronics design.
The layoffs are presumably in the press release to soften the blow of the profit miss. Maybe without them the stock would be down even more.
