Heh, yeah, that area is perfect for high speed driving. Mostly perfectly straight, good quality roads, and excellent visibility. There's an annual race in Nevada not too far from there (highway 318) that's the world's fastest road race. Last year someone average 219mph and was doing 4 wheel drifts at over 200 mph on the sharpest (almost straight at normal speeds).

Not bad for a normal highway.
Not well. It gives price ranges like "$6-$10", and with many short rides having price differences of $1-$2 its not actually useful for comparing Uber and Lyft. Plus their fare prices are often flat out wrong (as they cannot factor in account specific factors), and they link you into the native app to actually call the ride.

We went from excel to vsts and it had been working great for a couple of years. We got some new product owners who forced us to move to jira. It’s done absolutely nothing but cause problems, cause friction, frustration. The user experience is non existent and inconsistent. Things don’t work in any logical sense. And it’s horribly slow. What used to be quick and easy in vsts is now painful slow experience. This is the first job I’ve had where we moved to jira. The last 2 places I was at were moving away from it.

Now that the citizens have discovered they can vote themselves money out of the treasury, and politicians vie to outdo each other in promising free stuff, we'll see how long the US lasts.
Remember that the bulk of the worlds population doesn't live in the Anglosphere, or Europe. E.g. if you're from the Middle East, or Africa then you might know a thing or two about revolution, if not war itself.

Additionally, the US has now been engaged in Afghanistan longer than they were in Vietnam. There's a whole generation of Americans who know all about war. In the US, the generation who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, then lived through the Great Recession are about to go into politics.

My prediction is that if we ain't seen nuthin' yet.
The solution available on my land line is very simple, and works very well.

Any call from an unfamiliar number get an automated prompt to enter a specific digit. The digit changes, and of course relies on the caller being able to follow this simple instruction. All of this happens before my phone rings.

Once a call does get through (or even if it hasn't), you can review it on the telco web site, and either whitelist or block each calling number. Those that are whitelisted now get through directly, without the prompt, and then continue on as normal.

No cost to the consumer either for this feature, but it isn't on by default.

I'm not an expert in this area, but I imagine that AT&T will sell you connectivity over their existing backbone which isn't going to be as short as a direct route. Also, the amount of connectivity that Facebook wants might be so high that AT&T would have to run new fiber anyway so it's cheaper for Facebook to own the fiber and cut out the middleman.

> If your user interface is so simple that understanding it doesn’t take any effort at all, that’s a pretty great thing.

Nah, that's an indicator the software is most likely not very useful. Like in code, in user interfaces too there's both essential and accidental complexity. Plenty of the latter to improve on, but reducing essential complexity === reducing features === reducing utility of the software.

> I imagine the hypothetical lazy user thinking ‘I cannot figure out a way to convince my boss that I do not understand this UI...’

I imagine said lazy user asking the boss to buy a training course. If that software is so important for the company, a training course is both useful and cheaper than hiring someone who maybe can learn the software themselves in place of said lazy user. Training courses tend to provide ample opportunity to slack off too, so that's a double win for the lazy user :).

(That said, from personal observations of my wife's and mine, people seem to be split on that somewhat halfway - one half will jump at the opportunity to learn something new and progress at their workplace or in their career, the other half will roll their eyes and ask "why should I bother"? That latter group responds to "because it's that or your job" argument, though.
"My family won't receive huge amounts of my net worth. That doesn't mean they'll get nothing. My children have already received some money from me and Susie and will receive more.

I think progressive wealth transfer taxes are a perfectly good middle ground.
1] I'm not opposed to speed limits, I'm opposed to the car enforcing them even when there is an exceptional case it's unaware of.

2] You can drive super dangerous without driving super fast

3] Almost no one drives super fast

4] The same pdf also says the death rate is exactly the same on roads without speed limits as those with speed limits... but I assume we're going to ignore that part and other contradictory studies to drive your point home?

i.e. 67% of roads have no permanent limit, 67% of deaths occur there...

And then you'll say "yes but that doesn't take into account the traffic volume on those stretches of road"

and I'll point to something else, and it'll get old, and you don't appear interested in considering other viewpoints anyway.

I'll assume you're being glib.

One of the most attractive features of a death tax is that it applies to everybody. After all, nobody escapes death.

Of course, that doesn't mean it'll be loved universally. Some people just hate taxes. Others don't like the idea of not being able to pass on their life's work to their children.

But most reasonable people understand the need for taxation. It's a lot easier to stomach the tax man dipping into your wallet after you're gone than before.

From what I understand, the way that FIDO defeats phishing is that it signs a response on the basis of the presented domain. If a phisher stands in the middle with a domain looks similar to human eyes to the legitimate domain, then the attacker is returning to the legitimate domain a response that was signed for the wrong domain, causing origin to reject the response.

If your site makes it even remotely possible to have an XSS attack on the login page (by not being a separate page with no user-provided input apart from the login credentials) then you're doing login pages wrong to begin with.
Article says capitalists like Warren Buffet aim to create monopolies so increase their profits. Monopolies are bad for consumers because there is no incentive to improve the product or lower price.

Therefore as consumers we need to support legislation to stop companies creating monopolies. But more legislation is bad because, as I have been told, it is communism. Being equated with communism is really frustrating and makes it impossible to have any form of discussion on why companies need regulations.

Consumers are losing because it is profitable to exploit the system. Of course the system is then exploited. There needs to be a legal framework against the individual to not exploit laws and to not go after tax loopholes. Companies see fines as a business expense, with individuals free to try and get more wealth by any means. And once you’re wealthy you’re successful, so how you got wealth really does not matter.

We have a manipulated feeling of fairness and an expectation that the wealthy deserve it somehow. And really they don’t. There is a rising rage and in America and France it has been misdirected at the politicians.
Funny how the pendulum hasn't swung in the garbage collection and bricklaying sectors as well though, isn't it? It's all a power struggle at the end of the day.

Do you really not see that this was sick propaganda, propagated by evil dictators in need of cannon (sword?) fodder?

There's nothing honorable about war or battlefields. It's the worst of the human condition, distilled to the highest concentration. War is repugnant, evil, and unnecessary. We humans should move to rid ourselves of it, not spread fucked up fairy tales about it on the internet.

Civilization has been a long struggle to prevent powerful people from passing on their wealth and power to their children. I mean, most of the history of civilization has indeed functioned the way you describe, but many of the achievements of the past few hundred years has been thanks to the monumental effort to strengthen meritocracy, rule of law and democracy in order to limit the transfer of power hereditarily.
It seems US construction costs are double or triple the norm in other developed countries in part because of using much more expensive and construction methods, in part because of procurement methods that are more lawsuit than project based (and in California the result of repeated incompetence, and also because of an unwillingness to look at best practices outside the US.

Maybe this isn't what people want to hear, but there is no reason why Google should not work on some version of their search for China. Google is a huge company (one of the biggest in the world), and they need to diversify their risk by having such an endeavor in their pocket. It DOES NOT mean they need to release it, and it does not mean that even if they do, the version will look like the one they are working on right now.
Yes but they still use the radicals in the Chinese characters themselves, so it's odd to say it comes from Katakana/Hiragana.

When Jira first came out, it was awesome. Way better than most other ticketing systems. It was soo good that the entire company that I worked for switched to it. Suddenly a phonecall from a customer could turn into a ticket created by the support department, which turned into a ticket for the dev, which eventually got put through development and back to the support department to notify the customer that their problem was fixed. Our whole company communicated through Jira. This was before all the "agile" fluff that got added onto it.
I was in primary school in the 90s; I remember having to write a topical essay and present it in front of class. For some reason I chose AIDS, and I still remember that one of my key points was that you don't catch it through air or touch. Apparently it was common for people to be afraid of standing near a person with AIDS, or breathing the same air.

That said, "But only the fags get AIDS" vs "Cancer is preventable if you just stop smoking" doesn't seem like a thing of the past - this level of argumentation around AIDS, and about other topics - vaccines, GMOs, artificial sweeteners - is something I hear from most people I meet. I cherish the people in my life capable of deeper thought than that.

Slavery had a very high human cost and it was also something that prevented the evolution of better options.

>You're complaining about the first, and that's a very hard problem. There are huge advantages to using the same connector and cables that can support 100W of power, 5K displays and also support peripherals that retail for less than $1 and be backwards compatible with peripherals over 20 years old. The disadvantage is the confusion you mention.

Well In your example the Connector and Cable, specifically cable will have to be an expensive PD 100W Cable for it to correct, if the cable were designed for the $1 peripherals it wouldn't work with the 100W and 5K Display.

The sentence would have been correct without the word cable, but without it the argument wouldn't stand. Because you just can't find a Cable with the same Connector and expect it to work with 5 / 10 / 20 years peripherals because the cable didn't support it.

The comparison of the Roman Empire and the Chinese civilization is very flawed. First of all, Rome did not unite neighboring groups in Italy as a culture, never mind Europe. The lands and tribes they conquered simply used Latin for trade and as a lingua franca. It never became the mother tongue for any of those people. In China, for thousands of years, you have people from every province celebrating many of the same festivals, educated people reading the same script and Mandarin speaking officials reporting to the Emperor. Furthermore, pretty much everyone in Northern and Western China spoke some variation of Mandarin. The other main language group was Yue in the South and Wu to the East. To add to this, the major historical events in China are much more important than any local ones. Yet, if you ask a French or Italian person about their history, they would tell you very different things.

Note though that e.g. liblinear models are trivial to load and apply yourself - most classifiers just compute the matrix-vector product between the weight matrix and an instance vector and take the class with the highest activation. That route has the benefit that you do not hardcode a model, but can easily load new models.

Not to criticize this project. This looks nice and has many useful applications.
"In the graphic below, I have compared the lifespan of various civilisations, which I define as a society with agriculture, multiple cities, military dominance in its geographical region and a continuous political structure. Given this definition, all empires are civilisations, but not all civilisations are empires."

The exact opposite of this is true. Great leaps forward in Civilization have come from things like Empire, explicitly run by hereditary ruling classes, and technological advances. In today’s world the latter now eclipses the former. There’s no reason, in my mind, to think that that ratio will (or should) remain.
All of the above assumes the people Google is hiring are unemployed which is simply not going to be the case.

The current unemployment rate in Minnesota is 2.8%. The current unemployment rate among tech workers is less than 1%. This will not generate anywhere near the pie-in-the-sky numbers presented in any findings. At best it will ever-so-slightly increase the tax base by giving a small raise to a tiny handful of individuals. The workers building the actual datacenter will almost assuredly be in-state construction workers whose salaries will not change as a result of the project, this is just one more project to add to the list.

Furthermore, once again, Minnesota already has a glut of datacenters both public and private. none of the "other benefits" even apply. They aren't putting this up in the middle of nowhere Montana. While it is admittedly presumptuous of me, I'm going to assume you have absolutely no idea what the tech industry in Minnesota looks like.
