So you've accepted the logic that all designs have a designer. But now you attempt to debunk the logic by saying, "Surely the Creator has a creator too, right?".

But we've already established that the idea that all designs have a designer, all creations have a creator, is more logical than for something to come into existence, from nothing, with no creator, for no reason, and out of randomness.

While ATC is of course essential, I'm unsure what different TSA not turning up would make.
I agree with you: the interface is represented in actual binary format. But Google didn't copy that either. Dalvik doesn't even use the same binary format as Oracle's JDK.
What is your evidence?
The Federal Govt. has too many workers. We taxpayers cover it. It's ridiculous. I don't care about their plight--the TSA should never have existed to begin with! It was a Bush era power grab on top of 9/11, which to me, was perpetrated by our own Intel community specifically so they could do their big power grab.

The world will not fall apart if TSA goes out of existence. Stop thinking like a statist and start thinking like a free American FOR A CHANGE!

On the radio this morning, my state legislature is trying to get a law passed to give zero-interest loans to all these assholes. What...the...hell? Where was my state govt. to bail me out on the many occassions where my work was tenuous as hell?
Still partially their fault for thinking the president would. Even if the president changed his mind afterwards they take some blame as their job is to figure this out in time.

If the country was run like a business, they wouldn't be in business, they would be bankrupt.

The purpose of a business it create wealth. The purpose of government is to take wealth. Government does some useful functions with the wealth it takes, but extremely inefficiently. Private enterprises which are profit motivated consistently outperform government on budget, quality and time.
I didn't download the library, but I don't think the author left out white people. Here's a screenshot from the humaaans page that looks white to me. [1] Edit: another commenter showed pale skin tone in the library [2].

Even if you change the complaint to being about low white representation, it's also a little unfair to say that the author is "intentionally" trying to make it political. What about their work or documentation gives you an idea on their intention?

> What e2e encryption does do is make messages nearly impossible to be intercepted in transit or on a massive scale by anyone without the cooperation of the company.

I don't understand why you and others in this thread describe it this way. "end to end" in this description sounds a lot like "transport security" -- like what you get from TLS (https, e.g.). How is this version of "end to end" (where are the ends?) any better than TLS?
>Why are these public jobs considered "god-given rights"? I work in the private sector. If I don't get paid, I have to find a new job. That apparently doesn't apply to public sector employees anymore. Is there some sort of immutable compact I've missed here?

You think the employees are saying - "working is my right, gosh darn it, pay or no pay?"

They work not because they feel entitled to the job but because (a) not coming in to work has been criminalized and they could go to jail, and (b) people would die if they stopped working. This isn't hyperbole - there are hundreds of organ transplant operations happening every day. The most hardy organs die in about 2 days, the most fickle need to be implanted within 6 hours of extraction. If flights stop, that's it - the patient dies. That's a single example off the top of my head.

Criminalization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_Labor-Manageme...

As a final note - even if all of these folks quit their jobs today, it's not like there is an extra 2 million available positions out there, ready to absorb the new labor force.
I believe the most common model in Europe on country-level is that of a state-owned or at least state-controlled company, with sometimes some locations being subcontracted (but I believe the latter exists in the US too). International agreements about allowed fees probably mean you can't really make a profit, so little reason for other owners to be interested.
Unless I missed something, there's no evidence of actual bugs in their gear though, right?

You can argue an update could deliver one I suppose, but the same is true of just about anything if you want that standard.
Let's see if I have this right: Apple is patenting concepts in Swift then licensing it under Apache 2 in order to protect users of the language from patent trolls.

So they are patenting something for our protection?
> I'm sorry to be sounding so harsh, but I sincerely detest the security-by-checklist approach.

Checklists are essential (or becoming so) in all professions that require a level of safety or assurance in their operations. They don't replace careful though and action, but they do supplement it be making sure there's a minimum level of items that were checked and not omitted because someone thought they didn't apply when then did, or someone just plain forgot. A checklist is a good way to start some rational thinking about what's required for your specific case (especially if it's so restrictive that you have to (and are expected to) selectively alter portions of the checklist just so your current use case functions.

Checklists are well known and save lives in some professions (such as aviation), and are being applied to others even when there's push-back (Surgeons and emergency room operations[1]) because the benefits are just so large.

I think it's fair to dislike how people and organizations adopt a checklist in lieu of careful thought about security, and to dislike poorly defined and reasoned checklists themselves, but I for one would be much happier, and feel much safer, if security checklists were much more common overall.

If the government was run like a business it would have merged with the Chinese government by now.

It almost certainly would have shut down half the state governments due to poor performance.

And it would have declared bankruptcy and not paid any of its workers or maintained any of its infrastructure.

There’s a reason government exists. The greatest strength of private industry is any one institution is allowed to fail, without destroying the system. The government is needed where that does not hold true. That’s why the Too Big to Fail companies are such a threat to capitalism and private industry. They break the fundamental Darwinian impulses that makes private industry such a great creator of wealth and ideas.

That's really surprising to me - my favorite college football team regularly sells out their 100k seat stadium during the regular season. Seems like the superbowl is leaving a lot of money on the table.
It's cheap because they save on R&D via utilizing the Chinese military to hack into competitors and steal their R&D[0][1]. This reduces overhead costs to creating new technology. It also gives the Chinese military an advantage, as they can now tell Huawei to put backdoors into all of their gear.

> Or give it a few months and they'll come back with a version hard-limited to half the APM of the human players and it'll still dominate.

And this is exactly what is being argued here. Let's see that in particular, not a demonstration that computers are faster than humans. Of course they are. Whoever argued that, ever? This has been known and envisioned even before calculators were invented.

What people here are arguing with you for is that we want human-level limitations of the controls for the AI so it can clearly win by better strategy.

Isn't that the goal here?
"Are Canada Goose coats really worth it in the first place ?"

Define "worth"? There are many nice jackets for 1k US$ that you can buy.

Why can't US government give an official statement to all its employees guaranteeing future payment of the work done during shutdown? And banks should be able to give personal loan over that statement. Interest paid over that loan can be reimbursed by the govt once shutdown is over.

(I am not an economist; It is just my opinion)
employee poaching is a legal term with a long historical precedent.
Unfortunately, we aren't compiling pure React code to native -- for something like that Electron is probably the go-to solution for now. However, the reverse is true. Revery apps can be compiled into a web app without you needing to do anything (assuming you aren't using any native-only libraries with it). So all our example code is automatically able to be compiled to a JS web app.
Society slowly turned into an oligarchy where a handful of families owned the majority of wealth. And the same time depletion of natural resources, mostly forests, lead to systemic scarcity of fuel (wood). Increased social complexity due to the size of the empire. On top of that, ongoing wars with barbarian and Ira... I mean Persian forces.

I was just at LGA Terminal B and can't believe how awful it is. You're stuck at those cramped gates with CNN blaring at max volume - when it's not playing stupid ads it's just non stop Trump bashing - I was there 2.5 hours and boarded my flight with a throbbing headache.

Also could not believe there's no public transport at LGA. After 60 years they have not managed to get a rail line out there. WTF?

So I really feel for people stuck there due to this shutdown nonsense.
There's a different level with Chinese corporations.

Remember that China is a single-party system. You're either with the party, or you're not. In other countries, there are two (or more) major political parties to be aligned to. Any corporation that tilts towards one political group will lose power when the other groups come into office.

Ex: Farming corporations tend to be aligned with Republicans. Environmental corporations tend to be aligned with Democrats. While they get benefits when their party is in power, its hard to keep the subsidies going when the opposition enters.

That's not true of China. If you're with "The Party", then you get all the benefits of being with the party all the time.

How big of a problem is this actually? Do the balls harm the ocean?
EVs are dramatically simplified in comparison to ICE vehicles and thus the power-train is much more reliable. For any automaker this increased reliability is only going to help their reputation.

This poses a problem for Toyota and others (e.g. Honda) who are known for having very reliable power-trains, not because their reliability will suffer but rather because other automaker's power-trains will get significantly better. That is assuming those other automakers don't find a way to screw up, I have no doubt some will.
That should get Pelosi moving?

Big telcos tend to get in bed with governments because they're a strategic intelligence source. Since companies can be gagged, no one knows for sure how much in bed they are. Choose as if choosing which government you want to spy on you.

I think it's city-to-city. Some cities are just grumpy toward people who experience misfortune. Others are not.

In one city I was in recently, the churches organized a round-robin nightly banquet for furloughed federal workers so they can get a good meal, and household supplies, and help with their basic bills each night. In Las Vegas, the city is putting on a big picnic in the main park this weekend for federal workers with free food, supplies, and support services. When I paid bills online this past weekend, almost every bank and utility web site I went to had a banner across the top reading "Affected by the federal shutdown? Let us know so we can help."

I haven't seen this everywhere, though. It depends on the type of city in which they live.
It has happened before. It'll happen again. This makes for a great news piece, but the idea that mining demand may fluctuate is built into the protocol.
Reading Pelosi's tweet, which at-mentions the president and includes an exclamation point, depresses me as much as the shutdown. Nobody should follow Trump's example of using social media as some sort of loudspeaker.

Still missing the point. Astro-turfing one discussion into another point (conveniently one about a country that might be considered the primary adversary) is pretty much textbook Whataboutism.

BPMN, at least since 2.0, is a programming language with precisely defined execution semantics.

It's designed for specifying business flows with precision that allows it to be used for implementation of business process management systems where the processes are governed by an automated system which calls out to humans to perform tasks where needed.

any sufficiently large corporation is state sponsored yes. the original “too big to fail”. but telcos like ATT, Verizon, are more sponsored than telco appliance manufacturers.
That is fairly accurate.. the story of The Bell System is pretty interesting if not totally bizarre. Things are a bit more capitalist these days since most transport is IP and the commercial IT sector drives most development there, but cell networks are still largely the product of a handful of companies as PSTN switching and interface equipment were.
There are many Commercial flights every day to non-towered airports. In backcounty Alaska this is the norm. Clearly you have a big-city bias in your thinking.

The big difference is that in Belgium if the government can't come up with a new budget the old one remains in force. You don't have the annual circus with spending re-authorizations for projects that span multiple budget periods and for infrastructure that needs to be maintained.

As my friends in India tell me- China is very good at sponsoring stories. They don't pay the newspaper- they pay the journalist.

That would be right if AI and human player had the same opportunities for micro.

They don't, because AI doesn't use physical objects to move stuff in the game. AI just "thinks" that this stalker should blink and it blinks. Human player has to deal with inertia of his hand and of mouse.

If you want fair competition of micro - make a robot that watches screen through it's camera, moves mouse and presses keys to play starcraft.

Then the bandwith of the interface is the same for both players, and we can compare their micro.
The page seems to spend all it's effort promoting how the language is cross-platform. Given the number of cross-platform languages nowadays, I wouldn't think that would be a good selling point (more of a check box).

With the exception of a few niche vehicles, most EVs have only 1 (FWD/RWD) or 2 (AWD) motors. Though it's a new platform, electric motors aren't exactly a new technology and overall it's significantly fewer moving parts to fail. There's also the fact that many manufacturers come up with a single "skateboard" platform for multiple vehicles, which reduces the overall complexity of manufacturing EVs.

That fails to convince me for at least three reasons:

1) Fox didn't say it; it was one host's personal Twitter comment.

2) David Hogg made himself a national media figure voluntarily

3) Criticising someone's GPA and college acceptance rate is not comparable to the hateful commentary about the Covington students.

The main thing I wonder about after reading that story is the aftermath. If eleven advertisers dropped Ingraham over that comment, how many have dropped the liberal media over their attacks on the Convington high school students?
We are using and customizing ProseMirror exhaustively at Missive (https://missiveapp.com/) Our rich text editor allows teams to collaboratively compose / review email drafts in real time.

In our first version, we used Firepad because it provided collaborative editing somewhat effortlessly. You can imagine how people have very strict requirements regarding email and old habits anchored in other apps (Gmail, Outlook, to name a few). Here’s the one thing we hadn’t thought that made Firepad a deal breaker: spell checking. Firepad’s rendering does not use `contenteditable`, which makes browser-native spell checking impossible to provide. Big bummer for many people.

We started searching for a contenteditable-based tool that supported collaborative editing. At the time, ProseMirror was the only candidate left after discarding Quill due to its overly simplistic document model (no nested lists nor multi-line quotes) and I believe this still holds true today. ProseMirror has actually come a long way to allow proper spell checking (see https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror/issues/390). Marijn very kindly responded to feedback on this topic and ended up rewriting significant parts of ProseMirror to support it. I am extremely thankful for his dedication.

We are very satisfied with ProseMirror as part of our stack. I don’t think any other editor library offers all the options we need. Thanks a ton Marijn!
