Bold move there cotton? I've heard the phrase before, but could you explain what it means in this context?

I didn't say anyone was a criminal or what is a crime, what I am saying is that if you follow this particular train of thought:

1) You consider the action of Person A to be a crime. Note: The situation at hand at the border is so controversial, that many people DO consider it a crime, and many people consider their act as a RIGHT. I'll let you decide whether it is a crime or a right. But lets say you consider it a crime for the sake of this thought exercise.
2) You consider that the actions of Person B has aided Person A in the act in ANY way.
3) You reason from this that Person B has taken a partial role in the criminal act in 1) based on the legal doctrine that is Aiding and Abetting, which means: "aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures"

So can we agree that a person who believes it is a crime, and believes that journalists HELP the ones performing the acts, that that someone would also reason that those journalists are committing a crime?
Yes. I wish native browser inputs would step out of 1994, but at the same time my preferred answer to this case is simply using an uncontrolled input rather than piling more layers of complexity on top of it.
It's common for favoring socialism and being in favor of intelligent regulation to be mutually exclusive.
Babel-preset-es2248 NPM package reservation description
What I'd like to see is a Fire-Pixie, a sort of a Rust/Go/Dart or whatever rewrite that is modular----sorry, has modular support for HTML5/beyond features that I could enable. Or install. As modules.

With some sane common base of modules, that does not include <video> and <script> and such. An HTML1/5 base if you will. That is about fifth of what is in the spec, sorted by common usage among the more traffic-heavy sites on the Internet, crucially ommiting the annoying and colorful and tracking functionality altogether.

Do I need to lay this out further? Because, oh boy, I so can do that. For like 16KB right off the top of my head.
> There is nothing erratic about smoking pot.

It is erratic to do so publicly when you have a security clearance you want to keep. Musk also did several other erratic things around the same time (the funding secured tweet being one of the more notable ones).
It's hardly a surprise. It takes time for people to migrate to new protocols. Not everyone can just leave 20 years of engineering effort behind and switch to HTTP2 because it's a bit faster in some situations.
Wow if there is any digit above 7, it reverts back to decimal? Makes sense /s
That sounds like a highly uncommon scenario. I cashiered full time for nearly 3 years during college at a busy convenience store and encountered people paying with large sums of change < 5 times. Doesn't seem like a good reason to ban an entire payment method.
Impartial enforcers are worth their weight in gold because they never get emotionally exhausted, they never get uncomfortable, they never back down and can't be argued with.
Thanks for the article! Well written and clearly explained Concurrent to me. Looking forward to trying out the API myself.
The work of Ana Wierzbicka and Cliff Goddard studied 'Semantic Primes', 'the set of semantic concepts that are innately understood but cannot be expressed in simpler terms'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_primes

The combination of a set of semantic primes and the rules of combining them forms a 'Natural Semantic Metalanguage' , which is the core from which all the words in a given language would be built up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_semantic_metalanguage

The current agreed-upon number of semantic primes is 65 (see list at wikipedia links above).

That means that any English word can be defined using a lexicon of about 65 concepts in the English natural semantic metalanguage.
Weirdly, the idea of an entirely cashless store strikes me as sort of last century. I do most stuff online now. There is no point in bothering with a special payment method for offline stuff. It is easier to just use cash for everything.

Perhaps some day the government might come up with some sort of usable electronic cash system, but until that day I carry around bills and coins.
>No one is actually saying that, though. The only people trying to invalidate anyone's arguments and opinions are the ones who disagree that modern art has any value. And no one mentioned anything about hacker news itself.

I was intentionally being standoffish in a manner so as to imitate modern art fanatics. See, you just don't understand the _performance art_ that is contained within a HN discussion (this is facetious).

I would agree that "ones who disagree that modern art has any value." are misinformed. And on the flip side, I would argue that those who believe _all_ modern art _has value_ and is _worthwhile_ are incorrect. There is a lot of shitty modern art out there that can and should be dismissed (I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and by not doing so, you only hurt the worthwhile modern art.

I once saw a coca-cola bottle filled to the brim with cigarettes, placed into a red circle, in the SF MOMA. That isn't art; that's every weekend outside my apartment in college.
If you are going to stereotype, lemme add on of my own:

Ludicrous, most Romanians I worked with were very politically charged and would victimizes themselves easily and be very indifferent to other responsibilities you've in company.

Western Europeans performed better at seeing the big picture and acting according to what company needs from you, not merely your role.

Also, average IQ of Romania is lower than West Europe.

Only thing which makes them apparently better is that Soviet Style universities, where you can cheat and get away with it and you've fancy degrees to show for

We joke in Romania, how every one is a lawyer here. Because getting these degree in Romania is lot easier than anywhere else in the world!
Agreed, I've been chewing on that choice of words as well.
Yeah, it's an interesting topic that Microsoft for multiple reasons is keeping mostly behind the curtain. I like following C-Shell rumors, as a Windows mobile fan (rumors are that it was hoped C-Shell would have been a lot faster to build and might have kept Windows 10 on mobile form factors "alive" longer), and also because it sounds like a lot of cool effort that will probably be underappreciated when it actually finishes.
The intent with my statement was more around religious leaders who would give fire and brimstone sermons about sexual immorality while they were having affairs, molesting kids etc... With that being said it has reached a level of violence, IE: Evergreen, Berkeley etc. and many are concerned that it will escalate.

On college campuses today (and many parts of society) there is no longer room for a debate to lose etc.. You either buy into the ideology being sold or face significant backlash...IE: being black listed, having someone go after your job, physically attacked, being labelled as a (pick your favorite ad hominem), banned from campus, banned from events etc.. All for daring to express a view that goes against the orthodoxy.

Many people are open to new ideas being presented to them even if they go against their current world view....and well reasoned people will consider them. But, when people try to force those ideas on you with severe threats if you don't believe, those well reasoned people will also, rightfully, be skeptical.
Everspin has been one of the major players in MRAM for a while. I wonder if they are using the Samsung process for their products. If I recall correctly I think Everspin was a spinoff of Freescale (formerly Motorola, now NXP). It was probably 7 or 8 years ago when I saw a presentation touting the commercially viable STT technology, and it always seemed to be just another year away.

It seems aerospace and SSD manufacturers(write cache)are pretty popular areas. It provides really fast write speeds combined with power loss tolerance and recovery of write logs and cache that DRAM and Flash alone can't provide. It's also natively Rad Hard and nearly "write unlimited" which makes it good for a lot certain niche applications where the budget can tolerate it because it ain't cheap (2MB is nearly $30 in quantity).

What is disgusting about it? I don’t know anyone who would want to patronize a business that reeks of body odor and full of possibly mentally ill people.

We want private businesses to deal with the homeless and mentally ill, but I’d like to see all these white collar offices open themselves up so the homeless can come hang out.

I went to Seattle’s downtown public library once, beautiful building and I would have loved to explore, but I had to leave due to the overwhelming stench of all the homeless people.
I use free. Pretty much everybody I know who uses unix knows this. However, more importantly, you can't really show per-process cached ram and sum it up properly (since multiple processes can cache the same disk reads). Not really an issue in Chrome, which manages its own RAM cache (and is the system I was referring to here).
I believe in Canada they can and the limits are expressly stated.
Forward AD is the pushforward of a tangent vector (an element of the tangent space), Reverse AD is a pullback of a cotangent vector (an element of the cotangent space). The duality notion between tangent and cotangent spaces is the same as the duality notion of spaces in optimization. Unfortunately, I'm only passingly familiar with discrete optimization, but I would suspect the notion extends from optimization. That's not to say that they are fundamentally the same or that writing this down helps anybody in any way, but a lot of these "dual" notions do have some sort of dual vector space under the hood.
I don't get why there aren't any laws formulated at the federal level to ban cashless stores. Not accepting the U.S. dollar as direct payment is pretty much refuting the sovereignty of the U.S. government, no? It also concentrates financial leverage in a few payments companies rather than direct consumers, which may incentivize anti-consumer behavior like adding/raising credit card rates (what are you going to do, use cash in a cashless world?).

of course, because http2 is stateful and whenever the server or client whishes, they can send a close message.

but stateful connection management comes with a cost, especially on tcp.
Because you're closed source and charge outrageous amounts for a service that's been done a billion times.... I actually hope Wordpress puts your company out of business.

I would hate for naive people to get trapped in your ecosystem and continue to get overcharged for no reason.
It's unclear when skimming... same as 7, l, i, 1, and I

Also, seriously, O and 0 are commonly mistaken in passwords.
Because the number of not-willing-to-pay, enthusiast, micro-managing, photo-organizing users is likely tiny, and not enough to support a product with Google costs.

The market is splitting more and more into consumers who take too many photos to organize it themselves and pros who need robust workflow management solutions.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Picasa, and was very sad when they stopped supporting.

I particularly miss some features, such as creating a time-lapse of all photos of a certain person with the face aligned, which was awesome to show how friends and kids change.

It seems to be the same distinction to me, just worded differently. i.e. legal tender is valid for settling debts, such as the debt you have after eating a meal in a restaurant or filling your vehicle, whereas in the process of grocery shopping you do not incur and later settle a debt.
I’m not amazed. While many stacks support it, most organizations still have lift on their end to implement this behind the other “priority” customer change requests.
> If someone comes in with thousands of pennies am I allowed to refuse that type of payment?

Yes, this has always been the case.
Most can, lots can. "Unbanked" is a real problem.
I think your example here of “rational choice” is a great example for the problem of treating the school ecosystem like a market. Only those with means to participate will benefit. If there is someone with no means to pay for better, what is the default? You quickly end up with a system where those who need access to quality education the most (the poor) have the least access, or only access to the worst.

Furthermore, markets require demand to drive pricing. In k-12 education, demand is completely inelastic - school attendance is compulsory. Who services those who can’t afford to participate but are required to do so? And how does the entity serving those have motive for quality? There’s no competition.
That's actually not what legal tender means: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages...
I don't think the performance part of your statement is true. There exist techniques for generating extremely efficient LR automata (e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00267043) where the equivalent handwritten code would be a goto-ridden mess.
Lots of these companies create the fake assurance that you can be connected to customer support within minutes, but then go out of their way to hide it behind as many menus as possible and don't have a phone number to call.
There needs to be a site indexing and monitoring this.
Reminds me of this art exhibit: http://i.imgur.com/tgKix5d.png
If they're algorithmically the same, that's true, otherwise not. Caching computations takes space, but can drastically speed up runtime performance.
> You mean there's an upper limit to performance benefits of increasing cache sizes.

A cache is a latency-hiding device over a working set of unknown size. The latency of the cache depends on its size. So picking a cache size embodies a huge set of unknowns (the programs that will be run, their working set sizes, latency and size of main and swap memories etc.). In any case, for a given workload you could draw up a graph of cache size (and implied cache latency) vs throughput / latency and see that there is a sweet spot (larger cache does not substantially increase performance, but rather degrades it, due to increased cache latency).

Furthermore, when you do a shrink, you could put the implied performance gains into making a bigger cache of the same (absolute) latency, or making a cache of the same size with lower latency; the latter might be implicitly required since you now probably have a faster core that wants a cache with lower absolute latency.
Incorrect. You are not required to accept all and any form of legal tender. You do not have to count those pennies. You can refuse to accept that form of payment.
Of course you should be able to refuse 1000 pennies. Singapore has a very simple law that solves this cleanly with no fuss at all: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/what-you-should-know-...
I don’t care about any of those 3 things. IMO it’s more about predictable experience, 24 hour desk, ability to leave luggage at the hotel, etc.
> When we first started out, we needed to implement simple redirects, which should be easy to create on the majority of platforms but wasn’t supported in this instance.

> When the second barrier arose, we needed to inject Hreflang tags, cross-linking an old multi-lingual website on a bespoke platform build to an outdated spec. This required experiments to find an efficient way of implementing the tags without increasing latency or adding new code to the server – in a manner befitting of search engine crawling.

Is this a primary use case? When it's not practical to make the changes at the origin server?

What are the use cases when you are able to make server changes more easily?

Can you test what workers will do on a local development site somehow?
A sale is not a debt, so by the rules of the current system a shop can refuse to count those pennies.

>> "1) Education is not a good with the kinds of features which allow approximating rational choice"

Sure it is, and it's well exemplified at the post-secondary level.

Post-secondary education has somewhat less obscure results and at least the main participant is actually the decision maker, but even post-secondary education doesn't well approximate rational choice, which is why the private for-profit segment is rife with predatory actors.

>> "advocates would instead simply reduce central control and increase local (district and even site-level) control of traditional public schools."

> Intellectually, sure, but pragmatically, it's a canard; big, complex systems generally do not re-organize themselves. The IRS will not 'simplify the tax code'.

Well, no, because it can't, Congress controls the tax code.

But, in any cases your argument is the canard—any faction with the power to dictate policy can just as easily dictate an increased local control of traditional public education policy as one of increased centralization of traditional public education with public subsidies for private alternatives. What a bureaucracy is inclined to do for itself is irrelevant when we are talking about alternative rules that can be imposed on the bureaucracy, where either alternative requires the power to impose rules on he bureaucracy independent of what it would choose for itself.
A more common case than the 1k pennies I see is small item shops like convenience stores having a posted note for refusing to accept $50 and $100 bills. This seems totally fine per: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages...

There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.
The Path to Learning a Programming Language
A 10" screen has more pixel resolution than any computer I'd used over at least a 25 year period, and well into the mid 2000s.

Yes, high-def large retina screens now (and I'm looking at one) exceed this, but as a traveller, a 10" tablet with a real goddamned operating system is a total game-changer.

Mind, I don't quite have that. I've got a 9" Android tablet with Termux that is pretty good, despite some profound limitations (mostly of the OS and Apps, some from the input, though a Bluetooth keyboard makes this a tractable laptop substitute most of the time). It's absolutely possible to get Real Work done. Though I'd prefer something bigger and less in my way, and am looking with strong interest at PureOS.
I can't imagine that modern chickens aren't well adapted to coop life. We've been raising them that way for quite a few millenia now. And look how, for example, dogs have evolved from wolves in the same time frame. At any rate, my mother raises chickens and tried to raise them free range (with full access to 3 or 4 acres) for a while, but she would lose them constantly to coyotes. I think that nowadays, chickens are ill-adapted for the wild.
Corporations shouldn't be the judge and jury. Yesterday they banned nazis, tomorrow anti-vaxers and the next thing you know you can't find a bed cause you used the wrong gender pronoun. Slippery slope, very concerning.

Check Joe Rogan's recent show with Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadda for an endless list of such examples.

Having to police "social" platforms is a bigger challenge than solving any technical problem and the insistence that it be done is slowly tearing those platforms apart.
Right, but it says specifically that businesses don't have to accept cash, no exception for "once the service is rendered" or whatnot.
You can also increase memory usage for faster software, as is the case with memoization and lookup tables.
How to earn your macroeconomics and finance white belt as a software developer
> Don't drivers pay taxes, which also go to the school district - so actually, the vehicle drivers ARE paying for it?

In many states and certainly federally, the fuel tax does not pay for the roads themselves, much less their externalities.

One of the many ways that driving is subsidized, is that nobody is paying property taxes for the property that the roads use.

In most cases, local property taxes are earmarked for the local municipality, so in many cases, the inner city school does not get funding from the commuter.

Furthermore, many states with a highly disparate representation of suburban/rural vs urban representation (ie counties and cities based on geography), tax revenue is often taken from the city to support suburban/rural initiatives and roadways - this is also true on the federal level (ie Manhattan is a giver to rural military bases)
This is actually the part I most disagree with. The overhead of connectors to Spark, particularly any use of py4j, is far too limiting except in cases when the data workload is so large that it effectively amortizes the overhead. For small scale prototypes, it’s a disaster, and then separate there are concerns for data type marshaling through the JVM when you may have a Python-only data model.

At the time of evaluation for me, I also found Databricks had extremely limited support for runtime environments defined by arbitrary containers. You have to select cluster nodes according to their prescribed images and choices.

Say you need Tensorflow or CUDA compiled with a weird set of optimization flags, or you need other special provisions in the runtime environment. In fact, variations of the runtime environment may even be part of some reproducible experiments, so you need to execute across a variety of parameters that govern how the runtime is built.

Anything that can’t support this type of stuff out of the box is just not worth it. Anybody can hook a notebook environment up to analyze data from some data warehouse or distributed file system.

The hard part is always how to make that setup configurable and parameterizable across the needs of different projects, especially arbitrary runtime environments.
