This is fascinating, and a niche where I can definitely see a smaller player causing a splash and driving down prices for nuclear medicine.

My question is, how equipped are you to handle regulatory hurdles for international customers? It's one thing for a small firm to deal with US civil nuclear regulations, but how are you going to deal with the regulators of each foreign market you intend to export to? I imagine that this is something that the larger providers in the field use economies of scale to deal with, but could be a hurdle for a startup.
>Meanwhile the people who are picked on do have people doxxing them, emailing them grotesque photos and death threats, showing up at their houses, etc. I would bet a good sum of money that you've never had to deal with any of that.

Something bad happening to some people does not justify doing it to others. By all means, dox the doxxers, but don't go full human flesh search engine over some bs someone said.

There is a big disconnect where SJWs see it as life and death survival because they are aware of all the incidences of people getting beaten or killed because of their identity, and the other side sees it as politically correct pedantry because of the blowups over people saying things like "fork his repo". I agree that both sides need more empathy.

It's cultural too. I find the politically correct culture stifling because my culture is endless shit talking to friends and being physical. That is completely unacceptable where I work, and I understand why, but at the same time it's a total drag.

I think you'll have to wait awhile. These policy tools have been under both parties starting with GWB far as the initial PATRIOT Act (I think?). Right now, we're at a point where the USA might, but unlikely, go back to an isolationist policy far as borders.

At a meta level, this is a debate around internationalism vs globalism. Currently, Earth is in an era of internationalism. There is a desire by lots of people to move towards Globalism.
Two possibilities:

1) Break the false dichotomy. Large swaths of the West don't have serious crime problems, although availability bias given sensationalist news outlets and the prevalence of crime dramas might cause public opinion to differ from reality. Extant automated enforcement mechanisms are often just automated revenue mechanisms. The benefits to individual citizens from crime reduction compared to the risks to individual citizens from the rise of a totalitarian/genocidal/'evil' state seem obviously lopsided. Why take on something an tremendous tail risk when it only has marginal potential benefits?

2) Federalism vs. Balkanization. Allow local governments to do what they think is best; allow people to move freely. This would work in the US and EU, at very least.

More aggressive whitelisting is warranted in my opinion. I recommend using uMatrix to block all javascript by default, including first party. Built your whitelist over time by enabling only that which is necessary to read the content you're after, which more often than not is nothing. Contrary to popular expectation including my own expectation, javascript is totally unnecessary for the majority of sites I visit.

Of course this is only feasible for technically competent users. Regular users are forced to rely on lesser blockers with simplified UX. Such is the unfortunate nature of techno-inequality. Rectifying this would be a worthwhile pursuit.

The harm is not so much in the ask but in the existence of such 'influencers' to begin with. It's revolting in a regressive, quasi-aristocratic kind of way.
I feel like there's a difference between "lying about the facts of an investigation, including what they know or don't know, during questioning" and "misrepresenting the rights of the accused."

The latter feels like a serious problem that should get rectified.

Why not just say, “this must be a big issue to them”? Why do you feel the need to prove that these things don’t offend you, and that thus they shouldn’t offend others?

I think it's just frustrating to business owners. Running one and maintaining profitability can be hard for small business owners. Profit margins are already really small in the service industry.

So imagine you run one of these establishments, and you're constantly bombarded with entitled kids with instagram accounts asking for free stuff. I'm not saying its a major issue, but I would be pretty ticked off myself if this happened.
It has never been the US government's job to decide which speech is 'harmful' and should be silenced. The First Amendment prevents that. (Of course, some things like slander are illegal, but that's nothing like the 'harmful speech' Facebook is talking about.)

Disclaimer: I helped create those Carbon Tracker graphs.

> - The author states that renewables are on the verge of being "cheaper than the cost of continuing to operate existing coal- or gas-fueled power plants". They support this argument with some cherry-picked examples. Realistically, that is not true, nor will it likely every be true.

In the case of coal, it certainly is true in many regions. Natural gas I agree is quite different, particularly given the role it will play providing flexible capacity as renewables penetrate further. But across Europe new renewables are cheaper to build than to operate existing coal, due to ageing fleets, tightening air pollution regulations and the carbon price. Same for the US, except without the carbon price. [*edit - And obviously the rapid cost reductions in renewables!]. And we see quite strong trends for Asia, SEA etc.

You can find more detail on the coal trajectories in our global report, Powering Down Coal and online portal [0].

This looks great, and could be a great tool to help some front-end developers.

However, I must say, it's 2019, if you call yourself a front-end developer, and you do not know flexbox and grid - you are greatly missing out on an amazing radical change in how you think about and design your layouts. There really is no excuse for not knowing this stuff, especially with all the great resources out there to help you learn.

Flexbox Zombies basically changed my life. It taught me the possibilities, and now I know them by hand. https://mastery.games/p/flexbox-zombies

The same company has a paid game to learn about the grid (https://gridcritters.com/), but I came across the resources below and did not buy it.

Flexbox Froggy and Grid Garden are both free, not gated by an email signup, and very high quality. You and everyone on your team should do them, even if you think you know them well. It will help with reinforcement.

I think Gimli is an amazing tool, and I might even buy it when it comes out. But please, do yourself and your team a favor - learn the tools by hand first. If you wrote a float at all this year, this post goes out to you.

Yea the TCEC is one. I also think the chess.com computer chess championship (CCC) is interesting (Stockfish is winning here as well). The CCC uses more advanced hardware. Both are live now and interesting to watch, I mentioned the link for CCC but the TCEC is here: https://tcec.chessdom.com/

A server-based championship would also be interesting but pretty degenerate. I guess that's why computers playing more complex real-time games is becoming the bleeding edge.

You have to translate the human-written spec into the computer code that is used to validate the implemenation's code, right? And this point just means that this aspect is proven, yes?

So, doesn't that mean it's not proving an absence of errors in translating the human-readable version of spec into the validator code, right?

>having the right to exclude people from it.

but that becomes near impossible with digital information. just try removing something from the internet right now

I belive that the entire internet is changing so that this becomes every more feasible and I don't think that this is a good thing.

I think that if I have some data in my computer nobody (not even entities claiming to "own" or "have created" such data) should have the right to force me to delete said data. Just as an example imagine the information is not really digital data but something you have learned. Should anybody have the right to force you to forget something because it is "theirs"!?
I've seen this play out outside of the internet too, in a way that didn't immediately connect with nostalgia.

There's often a time where a startup takes investment and then ramps up the hiring. They take on more people, move to a brand new office, and start adding in things to help deal with the sudden scaling.

This will push many of the early employees away or at least contribute to a feeling that they're no longer working for the same company. Meanwhile, all of the new hires are coming in and they've only seen the sparkly new office and the adjusted culture, and they love it! They have no notion of what the business was like when it was smaller and more intimate.

I remind myself of this when I start comparing the present to the past, because I feel like that longing for what once was is a source of great misery if you leave it unchecked. Things might actually be better, yet still you yearn for the old and the familiar.

In this case it's about someone involved in both languages already moving from being primarily (or identifying as) a Rails committer to a Rust ecosystem committer (for which he's already written a few very popular modules over the past couple years). This isn't the usual "I tried some new language and I like it" blog post, so I'm not sure your assessment holds true, for this case at least.

People are different. There's a wide variety of extents to which people perceive their thoughts as comprising of words and also a wide variety of extents to which people are able to form mental imagery.

For me, most thinking isn't verbal unless I'm thinking of explaining my thoughts to some one else. Sometimes this is annoying when I've worked something out for myself and I go to explain it but then this nice chunked[1] concept for a step but when I hit that concept I realize it doesn't correspond to a word and I have to go on a long, unexpected digression. But sometimes there are words for which I haven't chunked the underlying concept well and I just use that word in isolation inside my head.

Also, some seem to be basically unable to form mental imagery and often assume that people are speaking in metaphor when they describe this. Some people are able to form mental imagery with fairly high fidelity to what their eyes see with very little effort. Personally I have an easy time with shapes but things don't tend to have colors unless I make a conscious effort.

I sort of suspect that people who refer to people by name inside their heads have an easier time remembering names but AFAIK it hasn't been studied. Likewise, I suspect there are correlations between mental subjective experience and what jobs people take. More research is needed, clearly.

Not sure what you mean by your comment. You can use loop invariants when solving problems that call for an iterative solution.

It certainly makes sense to try from the "influencer" side. The issue seems to be around the volume of requests and the extremely low bar to claim that you're an "influencer".

It's like giving your product away for free to a celebrity as a way of getting it seen in photos and such (can be a reasonable marketing effort for certain types of businesses), and then having a stream of random people asking for it for free too because people see them when they ride the subway or whatever.
Hey, this looks really neat! I have a few questions though.

1. If I use this tool, can I still collaborate with people that don't have it? This might be a concern to maintainers of free/open source projects who would like to use Gimli for themselves but not force others to use proprietary tools (which, I assume, Gimli falls under) when editing the project's source.

2. How does this handle components (when using a framework) that aren't presentational (like container components in React/Redux apps that subscribe to the store and pass data on)? Will you just be able to "drag them in" like visual components? Will there be an ergonomic way to add them into the tree later? (So that the designer can, for example, just focus on the visual aspect, then pass it on to a developer who adds the containers)

Jesus fucking christ facebook, read the goddamned room.
I have, but I think Facebook, as a media company, is what Sinclair can only wish it was. It's a media company that has real-time measurements of what people are engaging with, who they are demographically, and can respond minute-by-minute with adjustments of what kind of "coverage" they provide (for Facebook, this is adjustments to the algorithms that make stories show up in users' timelines).

I think we, as users, bear a lot of responsibility for the content we create and if there's a lot of awful stuff out there... well, we created it. But I think someone deciding to make a bunch of money in concentrating and distributing that awfulness deserves a lot of scrutiny.

Apologies :).

However, you really cannot compare coal to renewables directly, since it's an apples to oranges type comparison. If you include externalities like a carbon tax in the cost curves then the you really need to understand the nuances to properly interpret those graphs.

I should have said please keep the nuances in mind when trying to interpret the graphs, and thank you for your efforts!
