It's a bit of a disaster. Government processes aren't rational; they're bureaucratic, with specific (and complex) procedures intended to guarantee fairness. The government receives a set of proposals, and must evaluate them based on objective criteria. Unless you know what those are, you won't be competitive. You basically want to be an expert grant writer; that matters more than anything. Proposals can be rejected without being read if you, for example, format your document incorrectly, or use the wrong way to project expenses -- nits no VC would care about.

The result is that much of the funding goes to SBIR shops -- organizations with no business model aside from operating from government grants. They write proposals, and use those to fund operations. They keep going for many years with products tailored to the SBIR process rather than to real markets.

If you want to play, my advice would be to talk to someone who has done it, and have them review your submission. My other piece of advice is talk to the program officer. Their job is, in part, to help you navigated the sometimes-byzantine process.

All that said, I don't feel bad having my taxes spent there. Despite the mismanagement, it seems to have a positive ROI for the world.
And everybody who has worked in/around journalism and advertising knows that this "chinese wall" was already quite BS in the 80s, and is very much so now (and getting worse), even in the most "serious" of newspapers...
The non US markets would be expected to mostly drag down Uber's numbers though, for the most part they are significantly better. Its surprising that Uber didnt at least break out US vs non-US markets, maybe the story isnt really that good.
Cutler certainly did not write the whole first kernel alone, although the initial size of the NT team was quite small, at least at the very beginning. The story of the development (until the at least the first release, IIRC) is in the book "Show Stopper!"; quite interesting.

I heard about different research like this about six years ago. So the algorithm wasn't tested on dark-skinned people. Is this really something new? Product developers in a wide variety of markets still neglect to take into account dark skinned peoples when developing their products. Why should it come as a shock that facial recognition product developers suffer from the same bias?

> Why reinventing the wheel when we can just copy it! This project takes the only surefire way to get it right - use the original elisp parser implementation as a blueprint!

Emacs Lisp code is under GPLv3 license, is it OK to rewrite it in another language (using original code as blueprint) and publish it under MIT?
Except that Medicare is "insurance" and correspondingly still has insurance paperwork.
If it sounds that way, then I did a bad job of turning an idea into words. Having a language with a concept of errors, and hiding them behind an IDE interface, is not the same thing as having a language without the concept of errors.
That would mean they have to resort to manually adjusting the velocity indicator on a spreadsheet.

This is assuming Medicare would have the same cost structure if it insured everyone that it does right now, which is incorrect because Medicare is currently being subsidized by private insurance.

No, it's assuming that the successful outcomes and cost-benefits of single-payer, as proven throughout the world, can also be applied to the US.

If you're interested in the weight that the author puts on 'confirming' and don't know what it exactly means - a 'conforming' program is one that runs correctly on some 'conforming' implementation. So it's a program that at some point ran correctly on some compiler somewhere. If your C program is only 'conforming' then it isn't necessarily portable between compilers or even versions of compilers.
Doesn’t this directly defeat the rent control?
A confused explanation gets halfway round the world before a valid explanation gets its pants on.
There are citations in the Mercatus paper to government data showing this. Medicare generally pays below cost.

> If Medicare is losing money for hospitals why do they still take it?

Many have stopped. The ones that do presumably are getting paid above marginal cost, but that doesn't mean they're getting paid above average total cost.
Comparing stratolauncher payload to Falcon Heavy’s gross weight at takeoff is not really a helpful comparison. FH has a 60 metric tons to LEO max payload, roughly 5% of its total weight. I’m sure someone has done the calcs on the theoretical potential of the Stratolauncher, but it looks like a Pegasus can get 1000 lbs to LEO at a total weight of 40,000 lbs, so same 5% ratio. Seems to be in the same ballpark, and Stratolauncher (would?) use a fraction of the resources.
It is difficult for me to see this as not being naive. Yes, the editorial staff of any newspaper would have opinions, and even worse, implicit biases. 1: that does not mean that the firewall between journalists and editorial is being broken casually; 2: you correct for bias by using diverse journalistic sources (and removing only the worse offenders like say Breitbart or Infowars), not by completely disregarding information from imperfect sources.

Isn't ATS a system language with dependent types?

http://www.ats-lang.org/
As long as "right to work" (anti-unionization) and "at-will" (immediately fired for no reason, or any reason listed as non-protected) states exist, those states will be free to implement whatever checks on employees.

And they will be free to make decisions on this data without ever disclosing it, hence the 'at-will' status of the state. And if they are put in a position of court, the company will have ample data to show cause, even if the employee never explicitly approved or knew.

The 'right-to-work' also protects companies since unions that are formed can't force employees to pay into the union... Yet the union must negotiate for all employees, including the ones who refuse. In this way, "right-to-work" is a way to drain and kill unions by attacking their solvency.

Perhaps through Europe, their governments care more for workers. In the US, I have no illusion that the local governments, the state government, the federal government, or the company I work for truly cares for us workers. The worse times shows just how little we workers are thought of.

(Edit: And I deal with, as a system administrator, that no demographic or monitoring shows how we are performance-wise. If you count closed tix/day, each job gets split into X tickets for number bloating. Time to close is also sad because some tickets are autogen'd or long term projects. And like plumbers, our jobs aren't noticed UNTIL the 'shit' is backing into the sink.

I've proposed only counting internal and external customers' time in our group, but that too encourages us to blame and bounce tickets to other groups to stop the clock.

Tl;Dr. Sysads are even more fucked than devs that can show feature/ticket over time. We can't show 'crisis averted/ticket/time'.)

When I worked on Azure we had some access to the windows team data and documentation, and used an integrated build environment for some services. There are some interesting things going on under the hood mostly around building components in isolation against the spec of other libraries/services.

Given that pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than they do on R&D [1], isn't it more accurate to say that the rest of the world isn't paying their share of drug ads?

They’re going to need to tighten up the landing. After touch down and braking, it was swing left and right. Seems kinda worrying
Stuff like this may start with good intentions but in the end management will almost always transform it into micromanagement hell. Management will ask you "Why did you spend less time on X than the average worker?" but if you give an explanation with suggestions to fix something that will mostly get ignored. Happened with Scrum/Agile for example. The original idea was that the whole company would get transformed and improved by a series of retrospectives but in a lot of companies it has devolved into daily micromanagement from top down but feedback doesn't trickle up.

In the end companies behave internally like dictatorships so they shouldn't be given more tools that befit a totalitarian dictatorship.
No, then it's waist;D
Ocaml is ok, but coming from F# it feels just clunky enough to be noticeable, as if you’re using some early pre-release version version of F#, which in a way yu are, since F# started out as just a port of it. Adopting a light-ish syntax similar to F#’s helped, but there’s still a sense it isn’t as polished for public consumption, and the tooling is no less painful while also being almost hostile to Windows users. :(

Bucklescript-TEA was kind of nice though, getting to play with the Elm architecture but with a more flexible type system and better inference. But I found the size of the bundles and tools and the slowness in the environment I was using it in made me just go back to Elm instead. :(

As for Reason ... well ... Facebook has taken over webtech with a lot of halfassed misunderstandings of better technologies, but this one might take the cake.

I honestly find that whole project insulting, and so should you. It’s as if they’ve declared JavaScript developers to be so stupid that they physically can’t use a language with any other syntax, so they have to fuck up one to get them to use it.
> Is that actually true? I always hear that line but nobody every backs it up with data. If Medicare is losing money for hospitals why do they still take it?

Fixed costs vs. variable costs. It costs a million dollars to have a hospital, then there is a further $250 marginal cost to treat another patient. If there are 2000 patients then the average patient has to be charged $750 ($250 + $1M/2000) to cover costs. If Medicare says $500 or GFTO then $500 is more than $250 and they "make" $250 by accepting Medicare, but if they received that much from the average patient they wouldn't cover their costs.
Spanish – Fancy Bear as suspect of the hacking to the Spanish Defense Network
"When women do try to negotiate and they get negative feedback,”

How are they negotiating? There are many ways to negotiate a salary..some will look less favorable than others. The entire group is lumped into getting negative feedback, but we aren't seeing any of the important details.

"they are at a significant advantage in negotiating the lowest possible salary, and women suffer most."

Everybody suffers that doesn't know how or is unwilling to negotiate for their worth. Not just women. Learning how to speak up and get what you want is a valuable skill that can be used in all aspects of life. We should be teaching this in schools.

Forcing the hand of businesses will not only leave some people unprepared, but remove the ability for any employee to negotiate a salary, even if they are worth more.

Any company I've seen with an open salary policy also has a no negotiation policy. This helps the small percentage of people that aren't willing or won't negotiate at the expense of the people that do.

This also moves the value from the individual, to the role. At one of my previous jobs, I had 5 more years of experience that my co-worker. We had the same job title. Why shouldn't I get paid more money?
Good to see a detailed study on this --- it's been my experience that Intel's compiler (icc) is far less eager to exploit undefined behaviour, yet generates just as competitive if not sometimes significantly better code than GCC.

It's also worth mentioning the note that the standard has about UB (emphasis mine): "Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message)."

That emphasised part is what the majority of programmers using C expect.
I guess these days it is better to compare GitHub Formatted Markdown, a common extension to CommonMark, as opposed to plain CommonMark. It supports code blocks with language hints, tables etc.
Also, I am pretty sure Markdown with metadata (sometimes referred to as "front matter") already exists and is called MultiMarkdown, though presumably not as powerful/useful as what you describe here.
Of course. That is a derivative work.
This is a surprising perspective to hear. All the really smart people I know happen to struggle with a variety of difficulties in this area, and I think it’s related to a paralysis of choice, not just in terms of choosing between outcomes available to them personally, but also in choosing between different outcomes for their friends and the world, none of which is utopia.

On the other hand, the few sub-100 IQ people that I know well enough to have a sense of seem to be more content with their lot in life, having long ago learned that they do not have much agency to change it, and thus are more accepting of whatever situation they find themselves in.

I think you don't know how "productive and valuable" a young female worker also is.

"medical care for the elderly" - which includes many once-young males.

"single mother care for the single mothers" - and paid paternity leave for the fathers, and single father care for the single fathers. (At least in the more feminist of countries.)

"free or mostly free education for the masses" - of which about half will become young adult males

"early retirement for everyone" - including those once-young males

"who wants to give 75 cents of every dollar to the government - what Commonwealth country are you talking about? I don't think any of them even have that high a rate for the upper tax bracket.

This is a great outcome for your aunt. I'm glad for her.

But my objection to rent control has always been that it is wealth distribution by lottery. The wealth is not redistributed based on need or any other principle. It is totally arbitrary. Did your apartment become rent controlled or were you born into a rent controlled apartment? Congratulations, you get to live in a highly desirable area at below market rates. Didn't get so lucky? Well, sucks to be you.

Most lower class people don't receive housing assistance of any kind. Why should a random selection of people (from all tax brackets) get rent control?

If your aunt had won the lottery, that would also be a good outcome for her. But I don't think it then follows that the lottery is a progressive social policy.

That's not how NT was seen at the time. It was quite bloated relative to other PC OSs. Of course modern OS features required a bit more overhead than the crazy world of windows 3.0.
No, just phase it in at some income level.

Do those figures include refund fraud?

I've reported several fraudulent trips; trips where the driver accepts my fare and pretend he's actually picked me up and then ends the trip after some time. When I requested a refund, Uber happily credits my account, not my credit card that they billed.

Seems like some fancy accounting tricks that bump up numbers are being ignored too.
This is oriented to javascript developers..

The generator generates the entire app, frontend (React, Vue or Angular) and backend (NodeJS) + SQL w/ Sequelize, MongoDB w/ Mongoose or Firebase Firestore.

Unfortunately it's not prepared yet for incremental development (the generator generates the complete app all at once)

I think that's a great idea and a I plan to develop for other languages and frameworks too.

Thanks for the input
We have also to consider how many currently nonexistent jobs will appear.
And if I compile some GNU code (for example written in C) to javascript with a compiler, then change some details here and there can I change the licence to MIT?

It was a nice story with nice people.

Rent control hurts tenants, landlords and cities but in this particular case, rent control was a benefit to this lady - letting her rent be subsidizes by various property owners over the years - who were kind enough to roll with it and not kick up a fuss.
What defense are you suggesting? I'm not defending the killing of those journalists and I agree that what Assange did is petty in comparison. But nobody looks good in this saga. There are no good guys and bad guys. Assange exposed instances of over-classification and the potential cover-up of war crimes by the United States but eventually became a propagandist for Russia and their war crimes in Syria. Assange shouldn't benefit because some of his actions were in line with a benevolent ideology. This shouldn't be seen as an ideological clash between proponents of free speech and war hawks because it's not that black and white.

Thanks for the feedback. It's true that at first we might look like a static site generator, but we are bit different. Webiny allows you to build APIs, web applications and much more. The dynamic content is at the heart of the system. We are already working on several "dynamic" modules like form builder, content modeling and much more for the upcoming releases, which will differentiate us from the generic static website generators.

In terms of getting started as in installing the and configuring the required dependencies locally, we have a get started tutorial https://docs.webiny.com/docs/developer-tutorials/local-setup. In case you don't wanna bother installing all that locally, you can just click the get started button on our website, and register for a managed hosting option - which is currently free during our beta period => https://www.webiny.com/pricing/

The readme on github is just a short summary, but it points you to the docs portal for more info. Since it wasn't clear to you, others might be also bit lost there, so it's something we might need to review :)
