I am not disputing the moments before and during. There is no doubt the events going on were a powder keg of problems waiting to tip off.

However my comment was about how that actual scene can be viewed differently by people, and is exactly what is happening. This is not a matter of scientific facts being disputed, it's an interpretation of a real life event that took place. Too many people, the scene of 30-40 boys yelling and acting how they did invoked a sense of fear and intimidation to them. Too many others, it was just 'boys being boys'.

The other reason people are so miffed over this is because of the actual people in it and the narrative. For one, a boys family had the means to hire a PR firm to help with the ordeal (again, a place of privilege). And two, there is so much hand wringing over this boy and this event, but for some reason when many young men have been shot or hurt by cops it's often met with negative depictions of the person hurt. You can call this whataboutism all you want, but that's the reality of it. Why in this instance where a boy and his group of friends, that are clearing acting up and provoking others (not even touching the negative nature of their hats), are given a free ride as 'boys being boys' but yet we chastise people who get in trouble with cops? Aren't those same people "just being boys"?

One of the ways that stifling debate on such matters does harm, is that it sure makes it look like kooky opinions like James Watson's or Charles Murray's (seriously, if you don't think Murray is a kook, take a look at his work on "Human Achievement" and the purported measurement thereof - which is of course hopelessly biased to favor Europe and the West) have a lot more currency and more basis in science than they actually do.
These were only 2 examples, there are like 10 other companies out there that do the same. Cloud 9 was/is open source as well so you can install it on your own servers.

How do you keep abreast of these sort of appropriations that are passed?
I use a ThinkPad T470 at work and it's served me quite well. Not really sure I'd want to go much smaller. I do agree that it's silly to have Print Screen where it is (though it's actually kinda handy, too, when I need to take a whole bunch of screenshots, e.g. when writing documentation).

The idea of being able to plug a laptop into a server or something and instantly transform said laptop into a console is pretty neat. Sure, that's what SSH and RDP are for, until the server falls off the network. This would be a great application for USB Type-C; just plug into the C connector on the front of the server, switch to "console" mode on the laptop, and you're in business.
> How did you survive if you didn’t make any money last year?

The author made a reference to the "The 4 hour work" week. If I remember correctly one of the points there was about being able to operate from a low cost center. e.g. I imagine modest savings accumulated in the US would support you if you relocate to say "Thailand" and work from there for 6 months.
> 3 or 4 rounds of A/B testing and you get the most efficient (read: manipulative) method of getting users "engaged"

Now replace “engaged” with “to buy stuff” and that’s essentially online advertising. You’re being tricked by gurus of the mind to send your money to someone else. How this is legal represents a gap between traditional laws and modern times.

The sad truth for us software engineers is, a lot of the most exciting work is at least tangentially related to refining this trickery: big data, machine learning, etc. For example, implementing GDPR where I work has been a bizarre experience from a human standpoint. On the one hand, we all surely feel privately it’s a good thing for people, but we talk about it to each other as if it’s a burden and a setback for our business (which it is).

> The vast majority of newer Blurays use H.264, which is pretty efficient (much more than the other two).

Right; still quite a bit less efficient than H.265, though.

> One big downside of reencoding in HEVC is that for a moderate gain in compression (0-50% depending on the film), you considerably increase your playback requirements.

Yes, although this is becoming less true as more hardware offload support becomes available.

For example, Nvidia 750, 950-960, and 1030 are all capable of HEVC offload[1]. The latter can be had new for ~$85; the others are probably a bit harder to find but given they're older midrange cards at this point maybe they're a little cheaper.

> So even backing up the main feature of a UHD can easily run you 50+ GiB.

Sure, I don't think there's any economical way to reduce storage requirements of UHD significantly without defeating the point. On the other hand, I don't think the extra pixels really matter as much as higher color depth (10 or 12 bit) and fewer artifacts at lower resolution, unless you've got a home IMAX or something.

Law enforcement in the US is primarily focused on clearing "moral" crimes or things that make their departments money. Things like murder, drug use, prostitution, and domestic violence are high targets because they are "easier" to police than things like theft. Some police departments are also funded by monies they can just take from people under "suspicion" that someone was going to commit a crime using civil asset forfeiture. Good luck ever getting that money back. Just watching a show like LivePD in the US you'll see that while there are a ton of absolutely amazing and dedicated law enforcement officers out there, there's also those who completely treat people like dirt and take every opportunity to lie or intimidate people into confessing to crimes.

I know HP takes a lot of flak for their consumer laptops, but some of their Pavilion x360 are good in an almost unreasonable way, if you want them to be. I got a 13'' one, with an i5, at a Cyber monday sale and used the extra money to put in a good SSD and double the RAM to 16 GB. Just a lovely machine, which is also quite repair-friendly: I had to replace the fan after ~2 years and everything I needed was readily available online (parts list, service manual, etc.)
I do not necessarily agree with the person you are replying too, but I also do not trust the American justice system
It's 'true'.

But those companies are largely oil companies that aren't polluting for giggles - but are responding to consumer demand.

So if consumers demand less fuel, plastics etc. it is possible there would be a 'trickle-up' effect.

Are you suggesting that the UK makes the EU trade with it by threatening to nuke it if it doesn't?

Because that's horrifying, and I can't see how else to read your comment.
The agreement contains a commitment by the British and Irish governments to develop "close cooperation between their countries as friendly neighbours and as partners in the European Union".

It's hard to see how we can do that as, er, not members of the European Union. I believe the Common Travel Area is also a key issue as it commits us to open travel through the border which on the face of it seems incompatible with leaving the customs union.

The problem is the Brexit camp won't actually say exactly what they want, or exactly what their solutions to these problems are. They don't want to be in the customs union, by and large because it would restrict our ability to do trade deals outside the EU, but they won't say how specifically they would manage cross-border travel and checks which changes incompatible with the customs union might require. Until we find out what those deals outside the EU actually are, we can't say specifically what impact they might or might not have on the transport of goods and people.

The Brexit camp want to cast this whole situation as the EU and Irish Republic forcing us to do this or that. They aren't. We freely and willingly went into all these commitments, many of which we were the driving force behind initiating and we're the ones threatening to tear them all up and force changes on them.

The brexit camp are full of red lines for what they don't want, but have yet to present any credible plan clearly specifying what they actually do want, what it's consequences would be and how to implement it.
I would be interested in this. I currently use a $12 throw away T9 style phone. I've never owned a smart phone. I would consider something like this, especially if it has physical switches for disable devices.

The same question applies either way:

It doesn't. You keep referring to a legal document, as if it's the legal document that matters. The legal document enshrines rights, but it was written in the context of both Ireland and UK being EU members - there was no reason to explicitly add things that came with the EU, or with the Common Travel Area, into the document, since they were part of the situation already.

But in any case, to the specifics of the document.

Declaration Of Support, clause 3:

> We are committed to partnership, equality and mutual respect as the basis of relationships within Northern Ireland, between North and South, and between these islands.

How can there be equality if Irish nationalists in Northern Ireland face a border when they go south, but Unionist British nationalists don't face a border when they go east?

In the Agreement between Government of UK and Government of Ireland, Article 1, the two governments:

> acknowledge that while a substantial section of the people in Northern Ireland share the legitimate wish of a majority of the people of the island of Ireland for a united Ireland, the present wish of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland, freely exercised and legitimate, is to maintain the Union and accordingly, that Northern Ireland’s status as part of the United Kingdom reflects and relies upon that wish; and that it would be wrong to make any change in the status of Northern Ireland save with the consent of a majority of its people

Do you think putting a hard border between NI and the Republic constitutes a change in the status of Northern Ireland without a consent of the majority of its people, against the legitimate wishes of people in Northern Ireland and a majority on the island?

Don't forget that the only people representing Northern Ireland in this debacle of UK government dysfunction is the one NI party that voted against the GFA.
Heh. I see someone else follows @SwiftOnSecurity.

I didn’t know this until this morning, but it matches my experience perfectly.
> I apologise in advance for the naivety and the insensitivity but what kind of an idiot would give a go ahead for a strike like this knowing that an unprovoked strike on a major civilian population center in Russia will almost assuredly lead to a response from multiple Russian ICBM locations that we keep worrying about the North Koreans.

One of the early applications of game theory was to develop your point into a strategic doctrine[1]: If there are two adversaries with the capacity to annihilate each other and with mutual knowledge of each other's capacities, then not initiating conflict is a stable equilibrium.

He published his first important papers in 1905 and received the Nobel in 1921. His work was controversial for decades, but I would argue that there was no consensus in physics at that time.
That makes no sense. If both parties legitimately agree, then there is nothing that the GDPR can do about it. The issue arises if one party decides that they no longer wish the other party to hold on to their data anymore, and the other party refuses to delete the information and withdraw services. The unacceptable business model for GDPR is providing a service that requires personal data in order to function. Google making search unavailable to those not providing PII would be in breach of the regulation.
Homer also wrote of Helen of Troy who was abducted and raped by Paris. Also a major western history stems from a couple of ancient greek warriors fighting over booty ( aka women they got from conquest ).

Also, Penelope didn't choose the least violent man. Her criteria for marriage was the most masculine man who could use Odysseus's bow and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads. So even if you are correct, my position still stands.

If you want to argue that female selection within narrow limits occurred, then so be it. That's not much of a selection. Using that reasoning, two male lion brothers taking over a pride, killing all the cubs and giving the females the option of mating between them is female selection.

I can't believe you are using greek myth and myth based on "nobility" to argue human selection. Maybe it's just me, but a british princess given the choice of marrying a german prince or a french prince doesn't represent "female selection" to me.

As I said, we have genetic evidence ( less diverse Y chromosomes ), historical evidence and biological evidence proving that the dominant evolutionary cause isn't female selection. It is males dominating and keeping their competitors away.

Look at the genetic "diversity" of mexico after the spanish conquest. Nearly 70% of the Y chromosomes are from european ancestory, 30% of the Y chromosome is from native ancestory, nearly 100% of the X chromosomes are from native ancestry. Do you think it was by "female selection" or the fact that spaniards brutally ruled over the natives and had the power to kill and mate with whomever they wanted?

A disproportionate portion black male Y chromosomes in the US are of european ancestry. Do you think it was because black slaves had a choice or because the white male slavers with the power had the power to have their way?

Do you think the genetic makeup of the US is a result of native female selection or because of conquest, genocide, rape, etc? Do you think pocahontas asked to be kidnapped, taken from her baby and her native husband and shipped to england?

Whatever female selection occurred happened within a male mating framework. That's my point. And the overarching driving factor in human evolution has been driven by males. You can't explain human history without it. You can't explain the current geography without it. The US isn't mostly white because of female selection. China isn't mostly chinese because of female selection.

We don't have any plans to remove the row-by-row execution engine. Likely, we'll have some analysis during planning that can inform whether to use the row-oriented or column-oriented engine. I think the use cases for the row-oriented engine are exactly what you mention - things like single-row computations or more OLTP queries like point scans, inserts, update etc - where the overhead of setting up the data structures required to use the column-oriented engine would dominate.
Very interesting. I took the same path a while ago. My biggest mistake was not validating business properly. Coding before checking if it was commercially viable. I think you can do this business/validation part better.
Flip the terrain illustration in that picture left to right and make it steeper.

The terrain that this particular glacier is a bowl that is well below sea level. The more the glacier retreats the deeper the water gets (because the terrain is deeper), the more of the glacier can be floated, the faster the glacier can melt.

Imagine a pool that slopes from 3ft to 8ft full of ice melting. The thin part melts first, lifts up, water gets a little further underneath lifting the next bit of ice and melting it faster but because the pool gets deeper as you go the more ice can be lifted up and broken off so it melts faster as it goes.

Edit: yes, your second image is spot on.

> Sidenote: My friends with children tell me that kids won’t complicate this at all.

Mmm...I'm not entirely convinced. I suppose it depends on whether or not you already have kids before you go this route. e.g. if you've got a couple of kids going to school in NY you have to time it properly. And you'd have to think about whether or not the place you're moving to would suit them. Oh and there's the small matter of getting "buy-in" from your wife/partner/girlfriend :)
