> Mexico might not be the most wonderful place, but it is considered a safe country. (the government is not genocidal)

Even in the parts of the country superficially under control of the central government (the parts where the cartels don't openly operate marked patrol vehicles as if they were the government), the cartels operate with virtual impunity and frequently with active, high-level cooperation by the police and military (whole specialized units of which have gone over to the other side and become cartels), including the military at least cooperating in and covering up and possibly actually carrying out mass killings on behalf of the cartels.

And this isn't just violence unrelated to the violence Central American asylum seekers are fleeing; that violence they are fleeing is in no small part due to deportation of violent criminals, often in gangs of US origin connected to international organized crime including the Mexican cartels, deported from the US, who have then extended the criminal networks of the already internationally-connected, US-origin gangs across Central America.

The idea that Mexico is a safe country for those who have a reason to flee the violence in Central America is, well, not something that can be reconciled with the nature and source of the violence in Central America and the conditions in Mexico.
Eh, that's true about Bend but it doesn't explain why that one stayed and the Blockbuster in Anchorage (and hundreds of other similar places) closed. Vacation rentals keeping it in business?
For those that don't know, D&B stands for Dun & Bradstreet (https://www.dnb.com/). They have this concept of a D-U-N-S Number which basically means information about your business is in their database.

Last I checked expedited D&B was around $40 USD (10 business days) and same-day D&B around $500 USD.

Free D&B said it would take 30 business days, but it actually only took them 5 business days when I applied for it.
Not criticising any art or artists; but don't believe in the camera argument.
Paintings do not look like photographs at all; they are often images of things that do not and never have existed. Many of them could only be created using human imagination; and reflect some complex human culture and society at a point in time.
Silently downvote away, cowards: but the refusal of all mainstream media to cover the protest at the time, despite the spraying of water cannons at protestors in freezing conditions, the use of Stingray tech, and other super dodgy shit is a sold and undeniable fact.
Now that you mention it, it sounds like a good idea. From a European perspective, taxing electric usage made by heating, cooking or watching TV differently seems right.
Curious:

So, if for some reason, there are journalists that are creating content for groups/regimes that are anti-America (lets say ISIS, Assad, Ahmedinajad or Jong Un), would that journalist never been seen with any kind of suspicion in the US?

Sure as children we learned our natives language by hearing it for years but the point is you can't magically have ten years of everyday language input when learning a foreign language. So then as adult it is way more efficient to learn the underlying rules. If there really was a more efficient method universities would have ditched their curricula for it. But from my experiences they don't and they don't recommend Duolingo either.

Another vote for Hazel. I also use Yoink, which is sort of a drag-drop shelf for files that you're trying to move from one place to another. Drag them to the Yoink shelf, go do some other stuff, then drag them off of the Yoink shelf to their destination. For screenshots and images I'm saving on the web, I no longer even allow them to save to the desktop. I perform the screenshot (or drag from browser), drag it from the new Mojave preview widget to Yoink, then drag them to the destination. They're never saved in Downloads or on my Desktop.
Nah... everything will fall into place indeed but that 'place' will be heavily skewed in favor of the entity making the rules of the game. And it's not the consumer making them.

Do you remember the reports/videos a while back that showed caravan members being gassed as they broke through the Southern Mexico border? Many of these people are not even legally in Mexico, so they're already criminals and anyone helping them is already participating in human trafficking even if the caravans never got to the US border.

The BBC reports here that:

>Many of them say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings by US officials that anyone found entering the country illegally will face arrest, prosecution and deportation.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-45951782

They openly acknowledge their intent to break the law.

With regards to your last question, my understanding is that historically as these caravans near the US border many people disperse and find various illegal ways across the border. Yes, many also apply for asylum in an orderly fashion.
> Presumably, adding more cores to a mobile processor when you switch to desktop and can handle proportionally higher TDP, while not trivial, is not especially difficult either.

Multi-core scaling past a relatively low number is extremely difficult. AMD & Intel both have complex interconnect fabrics to handle this. You can see an example of this with Intel's shift from a ring bus to a router mesh design: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-revi...

Or AMD's new chiplet design with Epyc 2 of the IO die + core dies connected via InfinityFabric.

> iMac 27-inch retina (iMac18,3) has the i7-7700K at 4.2 GHz, score ~5700.

Be careful with those clock speeds because the Intel Core i7-8700B @ 3.2 GHz shows a nearly identical score.

And just below that supposedly the Intel Core i9-8950HK @ 2.9 GHz comes in just a bit lower at 5348

And the Intel Xeon W-2170B @ 2.5 GHz scored 5100. Higher than the A12X at the same clocks. That'd suggest Intel has an IPC advantage.

Of course the reality here is that the clock listed on that page are complete nonsense. It's not the clocks the CPU was running at while running the benchmark, which is a hugely important data point to have here given the variety in boost frequencies at different thermal/power situations. The i7-7700k wasn't running at 4.2ghz, it was probably running at 4.5ghz. And the i7-8700B wasn't running at 3.2ghz, it was probably running at 4.6ghz.

So depending on the actual clocks during the run the resulting scores may be more or less impressive. Similarly we don't know the actual power draw during those runs, which since we're talking about power efficiency here matters quite a bit.
I have to say I agree here. Notepad++ if it provides hashes for the downloaded EXEs is completely in the right for not wanting to pay middle men for fancy "this is OK" screen on installation. That seems ridiculous and greedy.

I trust tptacek that WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted. But it definitely leaks metadata. Nobody is denying that.

Facebook now knows gf is communicating with a lawyer.

Your threat model may vary, but my assumption is Facebook will sell that info to anyone who pays. (Not directly, but definitely using some sneaky ad targetting: all girls, 27-35, this zip code, this education, etc, and who has contacted to a lawyer recently.)

If this isn't possible it is just because they are so busy doing all kinds of worse things that they haven't gotten around to it yet ;-)

I'm only halfway joking: this is the company that fools people who try to be secure into giving up their mobile phone number, then shortly after starts using it for targetting.
I get that you are emotional but that is a baseless statement. It sounds like your opinion is formed by headlines, which are intended to evoke an emotional response. Please go educate yourself.
You gain even more momentum from reflecting the light back into the black hole! When you absorb a photon, you gain its momentum. However, when you reflect a photon, you gain twice its momentum to account for the momentum possessed by the photon now flying away from you.

Slightly off topic, but I'd like to argue for keeping your information in (backed up) local-filesystem files in the first place. I work with collaborators at several universities. Google seems to be pushing defaults toward institutional ownership of documents. I can see why institutions would like that, but there's no way I'll make my long-term access to files dependent on someone else's permissions (or Google randomly, unaccountably deleting my account).
TBC's "innovation" was to make smaller tunnels, which is useful for things that can be done in smaller tunnels but is useless for any mass transit activity because they're simply not large enough.

Beginner Programmers Friendly Python Cheatsheet on GitHub Check It Out
I love fzf. I recently discovered that installing a fast search tool like ripgrep makes fzf _way_ faster over large directory trees.

https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
Users of casual consumption applications don't, that's true. I can't see myself caring to be either. But if they use a tool consistently, they often are driven to customize it for their needs if they can.

The first class of application probably won't run in to any issues with just designing for a smartphone UI and not bothering with anything else.
You can still slice state into separate reducers and action creators. I use a feature oriented directory structure, so that a given feature may have components/controls, action creators and/or reducers, but not necessarily all of the above.

It sounds a little convoluted, but in practice it's made it easier for developers coming in to discover/predict where things are.
Yes, it's a super rad product. Using it for a few things, so far:

1) Working on a project right now that provides edge-level analytics for your sites w/ a focus on privacy: more accurate than Google Analytics (JS blockers remove ~1/3 of your traffic stats) and less icky for your users. Funny this comes up, I'm putting together a list for people who are interested in beta testing, if that sounds appealing: https://xyz.us16.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=0b8a0e873d096aa...

2) Extreme caching on a Wordpress site – using Cloudflare's edge cache WP plugin[1] and the worker from the workers-example repo[2] – currently at a 97% cache hit rate across the site.

update: just double-checked the cache hit stat on Cloudflare, after writing this comment - actually have a 99.95% cache rate as of today (!)

Canonical was unfocused, and the new CEO shelved it.

And yes, I do believe it's possible.
Does it guarantee some sort of high availability? Like if two of your datacenters are struck by a meteor would a third one serve my audience? (same question for you workers KV)
are you complaining about cache data that makes the system run faster? I would expect any system that manages cache data to fill most of your RAM.
You'll have ten thousand people with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Probably less than half that will see a million.
pretty interesting. My hypothesis is that there’s a large cohort of people (myself included) who hesitate to use airbnb because there is still a real issue of inconsistency with back and forth with host, key hand off, etc that people who are attracted to hoteltonight (extremely last minute bookings) would hate and that airbnb is trying to figure out how to appeal to that base.

Snopes rates "Abortion rates drop during Democratic presidencies and rise during Republican administrations" as false. [1]

And even if it were true (and it's not), the national legislatures is often the opposite party as the executive, and they're the ones that actually make the laws. (The real reality though is that the states are far more relevant in this area.)

Typical example: you arrive at a crossroads A where both ways work for you, so you choose the one with less traffic. Then at crossroad B you do the same, and then at C, and finally you arrive at destination D.

However, it turns out the heavy traffic at the other A branch was just for a few miles and then it was actually empty after that --- you took optimum local decisions at each step but since you weren't able to look at the big picture, you didn't actually choose the globally optimal route.

As others have pointed, this is related to the mathematical concepts of local and global maxima: sometimes your optimization algorithm happily stops when it finds a local maximum, ignoring the much better global maximum because it didn't actually traversed the whole search domain.
This isn't a free energy device because you're extracting energy from the rotation of a black hole (this process only works on rotating black holes). After a long enough time, you could extract all of the angular momentum from the black hole using this method.
The whole process is fairly opaque, I wish they would be a bit more transparent about what is involved. I found this :

I read that article. It says there is an alternate spelling of the word "peace" in Russian which can be interpreted to mean "humanity/people" but that it was found only once in a 1913 version of the book which was identified as a typo.

Now would be a good time to come for Wordpress and their huge failure in their new editor called Gutenberg.

Gutenberg promises to have WYSIWYG editable React components, which is a big deal, but they made insane decisions like storing the attributes in HTML, rendering HTML in the database, and requiring component developers to keep an array of deprecated changes when they want to modify anything on the component. In other words: you want to add a new CSS class to your component? Need an entirely new component for that in addition to maintaining the last one. Failure to deprecate will result in something like a fatal error in the editor that the user can't recover from.
It's like PHP-era decisions with modern promises.

People are thrashing around in Github Issues, but the team seems unbothered. I would pay $$$$ for someone to unseat them.

Typically, they want them to be illegal because they consider them morally close or identical to murder. One might not vote for the legalize-murder party just because the stats say fewer murder happen when they're in power, preferring to vote for make-murder-illegal party that'll try to outlaw it entirely.

That my fellow Dems so often paint this position as plainly stupid or obviously wrong is a frequent source of frustration for me, and why I usually just avoid engaging in discussion of the topic (whoops). Not accusing you of having done that, mind you, I just see it a lot.
Your statement sounds pseudocorrect but the underlying assumptions are that: a) we are currently able to diagnose all nosological entities efficiently, b) we know which treatments are working for each of said entities and c) all people react the same to the same medications, d) all medications that are indicated to treat a disorder are equal. Oh boy, wouldn't that be nice...

In reality you have an army of paper pushers that are hired and have their salaries paid to restrict what can be prescribed. For patients that fit well in proper diagnoses and are otherwise typical it is sometimes annoying but for the 1-2% of patient that rules do not apply (for so many reasons that I cannot possibly enumerate here) it is detrimental. The people who are actually doing this job are not happy with it, the doctors are not happy with it. Every step of the prior authorization process is designed to irritate the doctor or provider (like saying all the patients information again when the representative changes or not accepting the case id to pull out the patient information or "sorry Dr. we only accept this application by fax, we don't do this online" or "this patient's plan does not support peer review") and discourage him from doing it. I know patients that were turned away because their doctors didn't want to handle specific prior auths for them.

"But doctor why don't you want to prescribe medication A that is as effective as medication B but it has more side effects?" As your advocate, I feel obliged to recommend the best medication, if your insurance does not want to cover it then they should take the risk and the legal responsibility of their policy not force me to change my recommendation based on price. Of course, I will not start with the bazooka antibiotic for your tonsillitis but there is a medical reason for not doing that (resistance development). Right now, I have to spend extra time to even justify why a patient should stay on a good medication yearly even if it works great for them. The doctor is your medical scientist consultant, he shouldn't be burdened with saving money from the system, he will tell you what is best, if you want them to give you a value-for-money determination they can do that as well. If two medications work exactly the same, I would happily give the older and cheaper one - it has been longer in the market so it has been more extensively tested.
Stripe/Twilio/Algolia are features for an application: Payments/Notifications/Search. Easier to switch out than the actual CMS (and very often balanced between 2 vendors - especially for stuff like payments and notifications exactly because you don't trust one vendor with a 100% lock-in).

Tim Cook Changes Twitter Name to 'Tim Apple' After President Trump's Name Flub
Yep, suicide comparisons between developed countries are very possible - you just can't use headline reported numbers.

I had occasion to look into this one recently, actually. In the UK, for example, undetermined-intent drug and injury deaths among adults are included in suicide statistics by default. (That's based largely on the logic that intent is hard to show and false positives are quite painful, while determination of an accident is comparatively easy and harmless.) The US doesn't include those deaths as suicides, but with standardized ICD codes we can easily recover the data. Adding them in raises the US suicide rate about 11%.

Demography is also available, and pretty significant. The US suicide spike is overwhelmingly in adults, so while the US suicide rate is 66% higher than the UK (without definition correction), the age-adjusted death rate is 40% higher.

And you're right about the mixed causes, too. There are probably a nontrivial number of suicides which are explicitly ruled 'accidental', but stats like "overdoses plus suicides" do a lot of work correcting for that. Even for laypeople it's enough to start with, and then actual researchers of course go into specific data on traffic deaths, drownings, and so on.
I used to work on Chrome. There have been periodic sandbox escapes, and chained exploits that escape to userland are routinely performed at pwn2own. This is just notable because there is a live exploit in the wild.
