According to Glassdoor (which I realize is not the most accurate source), Blizzard Software Engineer median pay is $88,500 which is definitely peanuts in Irvine, CA. That's the rough equivalent of less than $60k here in Charlotte, which is below market rate for entry level.
The goal of the Article 50 legislation was to start the ball rolling with regard to Brexit. Its now being used as a stick to get parliament to accept a withdrawal agreement that 3/4s of them have already rejected.

Don't look at the goal, look at how it can be used.
Well, if you want to build something that has animations and feels like a native app (e.g. PWA), you will probably skip bootstrap (and take something like framework7 [1]). But if you just want to build a plain old server rendered website bootstrap is still very useful as a reliable default theme for your HTML documents.

Nevertheless, recently I tried spectre.css [2] and liked it a lot better than bootstrap as it doesn't feel so heavy (don't know how it performs in terms of browser compatibility).

Depends on the application and use.

McEliece ciphertexts are unusually small for post-quantum cryptography. The small ciphertext size can be much more important for total traffic than the large key size.

McEliece is relatively fast and has really fast implementations in hardware, so the speed is less off a problem. It does just binary vector operations. Encapsulation is just one pass.
Thanks for your response.

Yes, however, what none of these addresses is when the response is incongruous with reality but normalized in the dream- it establishes there is a specific demand of a situation in a dream that is congruous with how reality would respond as reasonable. My criticism is that this doesn't apply to dreams that explicitly have their own "reasonable" behavior rules as established in the dream- off the wall things.

In a dream where drinking unicorn blood is the norm, is the reasonable behavior to resist doing so or is the reasonable behavior to follow the norms of the dream, and what does it say about onesself to not want to or want to do this goresome act? Imagine that this act is viewed neutrally in the context of the dream.

In a dream where it is dangerous to make friends with pepole, what does it say if you resist and purposefully befriend someone even if you're scared of friendship? It's reasonable to befriend people in waking life, but it's unreasonable to befriend people in a context where friendship is explicitly dangerous. By the paper, it may mean one is anxious about conformity- but in this case conformity is nonsensical/unreasonable.
Hmm, sadly Factor is single-threaded I think (so you are stuck with coroutines), but you can make use of multiple cores using channels.
Yeah, absolutely no doubt that the court systems and judges are so stupid that they would put someone out of business for clicking a link. Absolutely no doubt. Will totally happen.

Why not? Imagine this scenario: the police strongly suspect that person X has some kind of terrorist involvement. They have no solid evidence. However, they are able to show that person X once viewed extremist propaganda. So they prosecute X for what they can prove -- viewing propaganda -- telling themselves, based on their wider investigation and inadmissible evidence, that they’re prosecuting a terrorist.

But what if they’re wrong? Even though they’re trying to follow the spirit of the law, they could still end up prosecuting an otherwise innocent person. What defence does X have?
... because of the company's intrinsic value (assets, etc.)? As in, the tokens would have value based on the company's value, not based on their own utility value in enabling a service or based on trade value in a marketplace?

That would make them uncomfortably close to a security, which is categorically not a good thing unless handled very carefully.

That's an oft proferred explanation, but I've encountered some evidence that it could be a habit of the mind.

English is my native language and I can remember longish sequences of numbers easily.

My American friends can too but many don't see the point. Their education system is so against rote memorization that there's a cultural aversion to casual memorization because one can always "look it up".

Another example is the number of days in the month. I instinctively know which months are 30 days, 31 days or 28/29 days. Many Americans don't see the point of having this information at their fingertips. It's a fascinating cultural difference.

This will get abused on a massive level.

Iirc the French presidential candidate Le Pen was sued for 'spreading terrorist propaganda' for linking some ISIS material in negative context ("we shouldnt allow this kind of people back to France" or something like that).
Here’s my crazy crackpot theory, based partly on my own reasoning for not immediately changing from Simpsons Yellow to Midwestern White Boy: the defaults for life in general have always catered to whitey (never once did my sisters have to ask why there’s no white Barbie), and yellow is a close enough default that the white person doesn’t bother to look up how to change it. In the U. S., at least, we went a long time trying to pretend people of color didn’t exist, so when new options come, the person of color says, “hell, yeah!”

I didn’t change it for a long time because it comes up in the middle of trying to fire off a quick text, do it later. Finally changed it because of some misfired mental need for consistency, not to “represent”.
France tried to push two time such a law (with the difference that it was for viewing terrorist website "regularly")[0].
This law was banned two time by the Conseil Constitutionnel (equivalent of the supreme court I think)[1].

But now EU is trying to put a "terrorist-filter"[2], which, I guess, our law-maker are probably heavily pushing for.
Such a proposition might be able to pass through the Conseil Constitutionnel, since banning website (in France) has already been approved and is in place (some website like The Pirate Bay cannot be accessed "normally" in France).

This should really worry us. The definition of terrorism or extremism has always been blurry (see for example the situation with the PKK). And, in any case, it has been shown many time again that this kind of measure could be misused, either intentionally, or by technical ignorance (banning a shared IP). The Australian censorship is a good example of that[3].

All these laws have been also proven ineffective at best and are just a form of power-grab by authorities. A prime example of that is, yet again, France, where most of the "anti-terrorsime" laws passed after the Paris attack have mostly been used against various political militant and, right now, against the protest going on with the gilets jaunes (See for example, the use of emergency state against the COP21 militant [4])

This will not stop, fear has always been used as an excuse to grab more power. Thats why it's important that we keep supporting and funding association like La Quadrature du Net[5] that fight against this kind of laws.

I'm sure this is nuanced in the paper, but what about when someone dreams that their partner does something bad to them, then when awake is upset with said partner for this imagined event? I speak from experience with being the partner in this scenario.

I mean, yes, in some sense the dream encourages someone to confront the anxiety rather than avoid it, but here it feels more like jumping past the real source of anxiety and lashing out against the imagined one.
Most of these "twins" have already been created. The majority of all components for cars, buildings, tech, etc have CAD and 3D models before even being manufactured so it's just a matter of the creators open sourcing a public version.

iPhone user here. Article seems to focus on just hand the hand face emoji and not the upper body emoji's.

On the hand emoji's, I use the slight tanned white skin. For the upper body emoji, I normally use the white skinned/brown hair emoji as it reflects more than my than just skin tone. When it comes to Christmas, I only use black santa.

The article seems to undermine the headline though. They found 19% used the lightest skintone, and 30% used the second lightest.... that's 49% of their sampled tweets.. They also didn't do any work to find the race of those sampled in the tweets.
over-engineering is real and is slowing things to a grind around you everyday.

my conclusion is that people don’t really like simple things and they believe that complex=good and it’s a sign of how good/smart you are. so people are suckers for complexity. nobody is going to receive a medal or a promotion for well written and simple code that “just works”. you won’t know it’s there.

now, the reaction you’re describing comes from the “i’ve seem some shit” syndrome where not only you can see the layers upon layers of unnecessary crud but you can also see how it’s going to break in the future. it’s terrifying.
Going from Sublime to VSCode felt intolerably slow. I think Sublime is much better but the trillion dollar company is too much to fight against I guess, the community for VSCode is too big now.
I suspect that they’re trying to educate on how the platform could be better used.

On Using Huboo for Ecommerce Fulfilment
S3 API compatibility is there because creators of open source "data engineering" tools have in the early days rushed to develop their tools around the S3 API. I can make the case that the need for a properly abstracted storage layer should have been obvious, but in that early gold rush no one would have listened to such reason. Nowadays vendors are stuck shipping S3 compatibility layers in order to avoid locking out tools that cannot work without S3.

If you think I'm wrong, imagine for a moment what life would be like if every RDBMS client in existence got written in terms of Oracle's wire protocol, back when Oracle's RDBMS offering dominated its respective market.

Now that you mention it, when I was reading Snow Crash I started skipping all the parts about ancient Sumerian language. All that he needed to do was establish that it worked as some kind of low-level system of the brain that could be tinkered with. Instead it felt like he spent 4 months researching ancient Sumer and by God he was going to not let that work go to waste.

Pricing transparency attracts users – WordPress
I believe that pricing transparency attracts users. If you are upfront about your services and the costing you can get an inquiry. This then has the potential to convert an inquiry into a customer.

I am creating an interactive quotation plugin to let site owners display their services basic costs that visitors can use to build a quotation and then contact the site owner.

I would like to get input from you about this product.

Some services that could use this system are:

- Web design
- Dressmakers
- UI/UX
- T-shirt printers
- Content writers
- Creatives of all types
- Rental properties
- Tour operators
- or anyone that needs to customise a quote or review requirements before providing a final quote.

Embed it on your WordPress website.

If you want to understand if it could work for you, please ask, I am happy to answer questions and receive feedback.

Read about it on the website - https://quotemewp.com
If you're that interested, putting "Inspire magazine" into Google will reveal PDFs of a big terrorist propaganda magazine that's readily available in English.

Heavy.com and gore sites often have copies of the ISIS videos too - I went hunting for their grenade drone video once out of morbid curiosity...

Both the magazine and videos are surprisingly well edited from a technical standpoint, they have some people who at least know the basics pretty well. Higher production values than local news at least.

The weirdest part of this to me is that this is worse than thought crime in some ways - I've viewed this material for reasons other than planning to commit crime, yet my actions would be made illegal.
It's weird to me that people want to use html for desktop GUIs.
Why choose? I use both :-) I'm using irssi in a screen session on a server, with the proxy plugin, and weechat in my desktop as a frontend.
The Unicode consortium was careful not to add race modifiers. There is no white skin and no black skin modifier, the modifiers are based on Fitzpatrick scale, described by tanning and burning.

I'm white, but I have type 3 or 4 skin, I always tan but I might burn if I don't wear sunscreen on the first weeks of spring. Type three was the most used modifier in the articles data.

In addition to Aditya Mukerjee's quote about the yellow emoji including white people, I think the 1-2 emoji is to light for most white people.
It still surprises me, although it shouldn't, that many developers try to 'hide' SQL through (in mi opinion, convoluted) ORMs. Although I see the apparent beauty in the simplicity they provide to front-end developers, to me, additional layers will always add complications down the line.

The criticism is something like Twitter enables the worst in humans, it's a platform that can unjustly destroy one's character and career. From a product perspective, its working. Yet it is still a net negative, at least that's the claim.

When someone is being doxxed, and mobs are forming, it's usually happening on that platform.
Cities should proactively legislate that ad platforms must lease geographic coordinates for ads that are tied to specific places from them.

> someday all the people around me will have MMO-style nameplates

No, thank you, kind user. Just because you are unable to remember the names of relevant people around you, there is no particular reason why anyone sensible should agree to have personal data be transmitted to random people around them at all times.

Such name identification on the fly then contributes to a (still fictional for the public) global real time people location service.

I read this book when I was in college and it had a profound impact on me - it was one of the primary motivators for me to get into computer science. Then when I came to the US for grad school in the mid 1980s, I got a programming job on campus in a lab and was shown around the computer room by my supervisor. And there I came face to face with the DG MV8000 and gave me a tremendous thrill. For the next couple of years when I worked on that machine (learning C among other things), I used to imagine the scenes from the book.
> dark skinned person with epicanthic fold, chances are that's a person from Indonesia or its whereabouts.

Or South Africa, or east Africa, etc. Or since we're talking about people and not geographic features, we could be talking about a person in the e.g. Americas who is the product of many "origin" regions of the world.

> Race is not ONE trait, it's a set of traits, and all of them are encoded in DNA.

The problem is the "set of traits" is squishy and often defined in the moment. This, plus the importance we assign to race in all affairs, has led many societies to try to codify what is meant by race. Racial distinctions are different in the context of different communities (e.g. in the US it's very important to know who is "black" vs who is not).

For example, in the US we long practiced the One-drop rule [1], which lead to absurd racial classifications [2] that required you to know a person's entire ancestry back 3 or 4 generations in order to identify her race (obviously, this is recursive).

The trouble is we start from a position of knowing how we want to classify a person, by seeing them or knowing where they come from ("I know she's black, so my classification scheme needs to ensure she's black."). We then need to apply tools (one-drop rule, etc.) to make sure that person fits the classification.

Gene clusters are a clumsy way to accomplish the same thing using modern tools. Obviously some populations share some traits. But saying "race" is something that can be objectively identified for every given individual is naive.

Back to your original point -- there's no such thing as the "last few genes" that make a person black. That's approximately like saying the last few quanta of pigment in a person's skin change their race. Or that a person's race can be determined by calipers [3]. It's ridiculous.

The one use case I’ve seen of Twitter is rapid fire updates about some developing situation, like an emergency. But it can’t be a back and forth discussion. It can be one person or many people adding to a combined discussion via that hashtag.

However, even when I see people do what is effectively a long form blog post on Twitter, I often give up on it before the end because it’s too frustrating.
Any response I can make to this will just read like me saying "no" when you say "yes". In this case, I think it might suffice to say that the burden of proof lies with you: The person making a large claim that is not (as far as I understand it, which admittedly could be better) something that everyone knows to be true beyond a shred of doubt.

Where non-fiction books have a bad signal-to-noise ratio but still provide interesting insights begetting a summary, the best service can be done by a new motivated writer: trying to merely summarize a book squashes the "space" in which insight can deeply take place, as opposed to digesting the message and crafting a new message, an amalgam of ideas from another and another almost harmless business book, into something new, more dense and hopefully superseding. It's a natural evolution of the world's knowledge and books perfectly encapsulate the writer and reader's span and frame of mind leading to good analytical learning.
