> Saudi arabia has been pumping money in India to radicalize muslims with active encouragement from USA

Active encouragement? Or more like, America can't dictate foreign policy of every country in the world nor control what every wealthy Saudi sheikh does in his spare time.
How about a methane-leakage tax, separately from the carbon tax? If leaked methane is ~40x worse than CO2, shouldn't it be taxed at ~40x the rate?
I'm not sure if it is an option you can enable/disable in BIOS, but if your CPU and memory have support for pTRR/TRR it should be enabled.

Ivy Bridge and newer processors should support pTRR and possibly even TRR.
So I looked into Marx's writings on Bastiat, and the example he used is this, (I am trying to summarize Marx's very convoluted writing style).

Marx doesn't really care or understand the argument about opportunity cost, but he focuses on Bastiat's use of wages as an example in the argument (wages are fixed, as opposed to the volatile nature of capital).

But Bastiat doesn't actually understand history! Wages come out of slavery and serfdom. Wages can only come about from the destruction of resources or the breaking up of guilds. (No citation or historical evidence provided). So actually fixed wages over the long run of all human history are not actually fixed.

"No economist denies the fluctuations, the rise and fall of wages. Or are wages independent of crises? Or of machines which make wage labour redundant? Or of divisions of labour, which displace it? To assert any of this would be heterodox, and it is not asserted."

This is clearly misunderstanding the point that Bastiat was making, wages were an example provided of trade-offs. Marx is steering the conversation off-topic to rant about how awful wages are. And furthermore, he is throwing out a historical argument to combat a philosophical one. But he doesn't show his work - he proposes his own view but provides no real evidence.

In the chapter, the whole thing is dismissed as a product of Bastiat's "French-ness". As if to say, Of course he would see things this way, he is just a mouthpiece for the French Bourgeois.

While interesting in its own right, I don't really think Marx's criticism of Bastiat is of much merit in this case. Bastiat's essay is truly a beautiful piece of writing and philosophy, and eloquently describes a universal truth. Marx is being nit-picky in order to prove his point about wages.
The new strategy is mostly "not doing the other new strategy" and retaining our nominal 1960s-2000s focus. Doing things like keeping brigade combat teams at strength with armor/strategic logistics, etc. Upgrading existing Abrams/Bradley/etc. vehicles vs. switching everyone to MRAPs and Strykers, etc.

I hope this kind of conflict never happens; US v near-peer basically is vanishingly small distance from full-on nuclear WW3 total war, and even a conventional conflict at that scale (or a more limited scope but still all-out within that space) will be incredibly destructive to even the winners.

The wars we're more likely to see are second/third tier powers fighting as well as cyber. However, the lower probability but high severity events need to be mitigated, which is why we need the triad, a substantial navy, ability to rapidly deploy at divisional strength, prepositioned WRM, etc.
If Apple successfully called the pro-poseurs' bluffs, wouldn't that mean that they met (and surpassed) their expectations instead of going over their heads and missing them altogether?

AMD's slides showed Zen3 as the next release (Ryzen 4000 series), as 7nm+/Zen3 in 2020. Zen2+ isn't a thing, unless AMD is simply calling it Zen3. I'm not sure the names matter, as Zen+ was better than I was expecting with the XFR2 changes, so I bought one. From what I can tell, they tied support to DDR4 support. I'm expecting Zen3 next year to be the last AM4 CPU.

Doesn't really matter to me, with the value they've been delivering since the original Ryzen launch, I see no reason to not buy them all. People appreciate a good discount on a desirable CPU on Craigslist when its time to upgrade. It's just an easy swap, especially if you use an IC Graphite thermal pad instead of thermal paste.
Completely depends. Different people have different preferences. Different locations have different weather benefits for time of day. When I played golf I played during twilight almost exclusively.
This is what I don't get. That's insane. You cannot have infinite growth. At some point, sales will drop. A growing number of people want to fix rather than replace and consume.

How does our society change the goal posts, where increased sales and profits are no longer an end goal? They can't be forever. There isn't room for the 4th largest company to grow larger. It'll just be perpetually switching places with Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.

One of the few nice things I can say about living in Indiana is how it sits on the western side of the eastern timezone.

There was light outside when I was outside. It got dark when it was time to go to bed.

Now living in the Bay Area, I feel when the clocks shift in November, it is getting dark at like, 5PM! I am still working at that time. I do not like having to go about my evening when it is pitch black outside, it is super uncomfortable.

Yes, these regulations are currently China-specific, but (1) that's bad enough itself, (2) Companies may apply censorship worldwide as a an engineering-simplification measure.

Money talks, and Tencent and other Chinese companies have a lot. Once they've bought their stake, they can't be simply laughed off.
I’m not very interested in a Pro machine but I want an enthusiast machine and a most-performance-for-the-buck machine and an expandable machine.

Basically an iMac with a discrete screen and desktop hardware in a reasonably large box. Something that can run the Intel CPU:s that are actually sensibly priced such as the 8700K.

So many hoped the bottom line Mac Pro would be cheaper bevause is no Mac ProSumer.

Apple appear to have decided that the best (in terms of enthusiast performance per dollar) segment of desktop computer simply doesn’t have high enough margins and would cannibalize on iMac and MacPro sales where margins are much higher. And who can blame them?

If Apple made a 2019 tower with 8700K/32GB/GTX1560 and sold it at $2k it would sell a lot but every sale would cost one MacBook Pro, iMac or MacPro sale.
Again, why do you care about files? Logs have nothing to do with files. Files are just the interface used by filesystem to show the event stream that is logs so you can use file based tools to access the.

I am not calling it a filesystem. Let’s call it a data bank?
If I remember the section of that book correctly, Andrew Grove talks about how you want to handle decision making as a manager. According to Andrew, you want to have folks come to a decision with minimal intervention from you. Part of it is having people feel ownership, another is managing your own political capital. In terms of when you intervene, you should step in and help break ties. You should also be able to ultimately make a decision if the group is unable to do so either because they're taking way too long to deliberate, if their arguments are going full circle, etc.
This is stuff that's severely misrepresented by the alt-right. Yes, there are statistical variations in IQ and criminality across social groups. No, there's no consensus whatsoever that all or even most of that is due to any sort of "genetic factor", and the plausible contribution of something like that is well within the "too small to matter" range!

Besides, these distributions are such that they can only ever matter in the large, as in "explain other large-scale social phenomena"; they don't tell you ANYTHING about any individual person that you couldn't garner way more easily and more reliably within a few seconds of interaction or even observation.

Most people (as in 99.999%) who bring up "race-IQ" connections as if they were some sort of forbidden truth are either white supremacists or clueless memebots, spreading a memetic infection of white-supremacist origin without even realizing that this is what they're doing. It's pure race baiting and white supremacy, not a serious attempt at social debate.

Speaking of Reddit, a citizen of Hong Kong had a post this morning make it to the front page giving out a bit of info about the protest. Nearly half the comments were purged by the mods. Reddit had gone down hell in the last few years, but this was something else.
It would be "maintain forward bases during a dynamic conflict with or without the support of the local government", not "try to turn Afghanistan into an 18th century state for the first time, or fix Iraq".
The only difference would be the number of DDR channels I guess, yeah.

Weighing in as a UX designer. I appreciate the attempt to encourage people to think about design, but this guide has issues.

What's wrong with the advice:

-Removing horizontal lines decreases readability in the complex examples given

-Vertical lines are very helpful when there are more than three columns

-Serifs have actually been found to be more readable due to their distinct letterforms and can be comprehended more quickly. San-serif fonts are fine too though. Basically, choose a font that has good legibility.

-Don't rely on light gray lines, because they might not be visible on all screens, or in various environments, and likely won't translate to print

-Double horizontal lines for column headers are fine.

-Overall, if you're presenting important information, usability is much more important than minor aesthetics.

Here are some more actual tips for laying out tables:

-Ensure that if a horizontal line needs to be scannable, that it actually has enough padding, or a horizontal separator, be it a dotted line or some other type of visible anchor

-If columns have a lot of information, a table may not be sufficient. Consider aggregating individual rows into a card format.

-Padding is your friend. Also, be consistent with it. A table with too little, but consistent padding looks better than one with more breathing room and inconsistent padding.

-Most information should be aligned left. One exception is currency. That should be aligned right

I keep hearing this argument over and over and it's frustrating. Yes, it does seem clear that Apple is targeting media studios with this Mac Pro, but that entirely misses the point about why so many people like me are upset.

Apple used to make what I considered just about the perfect machine for me. It was the cheese grater Mac Pro, and one sat under my desk until a few months ago when I gave up on Apple every refreshing that machine in a way that works for me, and I got a Mac mini instead. It's a fine machine, but there is not really an upgrade path for the internal components, the graphics processor is weak, and now I have a bunch of cables all over my desk for expansion.

The cheese grater Mac Pro used to be a little bit pricey for the actual performance you were getting, but it was worth it to spend a little more to get that thoughtfully designed machine that ran Mac OS. Now it just feels like anything in Apples product line that "is for me" just feels like a giant compromise. Sure Apple can do whatever they want with their product line, but that fact doesn't make the current situation any less frustrating for me and people like me.
Even at that point the Conservatives voted against - they aren't great in a vacuum, but once you compare the two leading parties there's clearly a difference, one side going with social evolution as opposed to voting against. The Conservative's declared it a free vote as well, so it's not just the opposition filling its role as the opposition.
yeah, well, the profit could be $0 or negative and still have this valuation.

I am left with the feeling that in 2019 the filesystem is the weak part of the operating system.

* mmap doesn't really work well on 64 bit systems
* mmap will block if it has to page data in from a file
* there are ten different backends to handle layering on Docker and that simple fact implies that none of them are good; if you could compose layers arbitrarily the speed and scalability of Docker would be in a different league than it is now, but you can't. So Docker is just as easily something that slows you down as speeds you up.
* Filesystem metadata scans are slow, shockingly so on Windows.

I know I like developing with S3-style object stores. To some extent this can replace the traditional filesystem, in other ways it can't.
I agree with this sentiment. Seeing the way grizzly bears act in a zoo is pretty heartbreaking. They normally have ranges of hundreds of square kilometers. The pen i seen it in was less then 500 square meters for sure. It just kept pacing and throwing a log around kind of like a big dog. Then would do a round of the enclosure then back to pacing and the log.
No need to change to another language, as has been pretty much outlined by previous posts Java is driven by the changes added to OpenJDK.

There's a federal election in Canada in October, and based on polls, the governing party is losing some votes to the Green Party. This could be more directly explained by that, but I agree that it's certainly a positive side effect regardless.

The total addressable market for the niche you described would generate less revenue for Apple than Lightening cables.

Also, I think you're wrong about the iMac Pro. And the fact that you're complaining about a FOUR to SIX year lifespan? I don't even expect a car to last 6 years in any meaningful shape.
I don't like any aspect of this. It's good to revisit this problem every now and then, but I'll stick to my keyboard and mouse with multiple monitors.
Sounds like it should be funded by Sales Tax / Income tax vs Property Tax.

Property Tax should be about using the land & making improvements to nearby areas. Not about funding things far away.
Generally speaking, a "Carbon tax" would most likely be on "Net green house gas contributions normalized to CO2 tons." Basically, I believe your objection has been thought of and is incorporated in most proposals.
I agree with Snopes. Pronunciation is everything in Spanish. The word nova is not at all pronounced the same as no va, and a native Spanish speaker would not confuse the two. My personal experience after having lived in Central America with locals, not ex-Pats, is that accent and pronunciation are the key to speaking Spanish, not grammar.
So you’re degrading the charge from maliciousness to incompetence?
The problem is, it seems like much of the careful recycling didn't really work. It was never a circular system, just one in which a couple extra uses could be rinsed out due to some extra shipping capacity on container ships making it cheap to get it overseas.

How would it be for you if instead of a ban, a heavy disposal fee was added at the time of purchase to fund extensive waste sorting and recycling locally? How much is single use convenience worth to you? $1 per plastic fork?

It may be an awkward vote grab, but it's an glaring problem nonetheless.

The question is: will Uber and Lyft always be the entities leading car-ordering apps?

Hypothetically, Uber and Lyft stock prices could collapse, Google and Apple buy them, respectively, and then they could become features in Google and Apple Maps, as opposed to standalone companies and apps.

Sure, there are additional logistics, city management, back-end processing pieces that are not trivial. But the customer app experience certainly can be replicated as companies like Via have done, and Google and Apple could afford the transition costs of taking over all the behind-the-scenes logistics.

Not saying this will happen, but it's an illustration of how car-sharing survives but Uber and Lyft do not.

I remain amazed at Apple's marketing. There's literally nothing "powerful" in this box that you couldn't plug into a Supermicro motherboard almost two years ago. You can make integration arguments or dither about Apple-specific devices or software all day. But as for "powerful"... this is a 14nm Xeon workstation board.

what.cd didn't host anything, so all the shutdown did was scatter the community. Since with p2p everything is on someone's local drive at the end of the day, it didn't destroy any files and didn't stop files from being seeded by peers. Only a matter of time before the community rallies again imo, or someone dumps all the magnet links into a text file and passes that around for all to seed. An unhosted what.cd would be immune to the RIAA and other scum.
