I have long warned about this. Usually when you leave a parking lot and go to a store, you think you can come out later and not go to your car, achieving free parking for a while! Now with the AI behind surveillance you may no longer be able to. Gait recognition, facial and clothing and so on. Maybe it would still be easy to fool for a while by changing up those things on the way out. But you’d have to go back to the store before going to your car.

It will be interesting to see how the well known economy concept of "Optimum currency area" (see Robert Mundell, 1961) would apply in that case of a stable money anchored to a mixture of dollar/euro/yen. If it is like what happened to Euro in the face of a systemic crisis, that should be labor mobility and low wages for low-productivity countries.

The majority is not always right. In fact, it is often wrong. Corrupt politicians invariably argue that they should not be held accountable and that we should instead "let the people decide" (by voting). But that's not how society has worked up to that point (at least, it's not how it was supposed to work, even if practice differs from theory).

Nowadays we seem to argue that since Mark Zuckerberg has not actually killed people with his bare hands, everything's fine. Everything is not fine. Facebook is a threat to humanity.

You are putting a bit too much thought into the decision making. I figure someone walked into the book store and picked the book from the first bestseller display.

> I feel like at least have a slight idea what it's about.

But is a slight idea enough to make a purchase decision? I deduced that it's some sort of application that combines a table and text. But that could look and function 100 different ways. There's 4 or 5 animated gifs all doing something completely different, and none of those is typing text into something that looks like a spreadsheet. So I'm left wondering, does it have a spreadsheet capability? Without digging further or watching product tour videos, I have no idea.
For #3, you are correct. VMS originally required a separate third party product to support TCP/IP. MultiNet was one of the more popular stacks: http://www.process.com/products/multinet/

Newer releases (6.0 and above, I think?) do have DEC's TCP/IP layered product included. I believe it was called "UCX"...
Most of these techniques sacrifice readability so before implementing them, you should really profile to make sure that the code in question is a hot spot in terms of allocations or CPU usage.

That said, the example using sync.Pool is not quite right. The New function should always return a pointer type to avoid incurring an additional allocation on Get [0]

The code should look like:

var bufpool = sync.Pool{
New: func() interface{} {
buf := make([]byte, 512)
return &buf
}}

b := *bufpool.Get().(*[]byte)

defer bufpool.Put(&b)

I posted a map. During the Jurassic, the world was much warmer, greener, and Pangea was already broken up, although the continents weren't in their current positions. They did span from pole to pole however.

The point is that the map posted by OP is junk and not based on any science, just alarmist rhetoric.
This is a different topic than the article and the discussion so far.

A yearly bonus or a "thank you"/party/etc aren't rewards tied to specific tasks. They're meant to be gestures of appropriation. You're discussing a bonus structure that ties financial incentives to very specific work items, and rewards them accordingly.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, just pointing out they're two different topics.

Peasants were bound to their lord's land, owed feudal dues like corvée, and could be judged and punished by their lord. It could only be called an era of "political liberty" for perhaps a relatively small class of nobility. The vast majority of the population was trapped in cemented, unalterable relations of fealty and economic exploitation.

> It was a reaction against the centralization and coercion of the old Roman Empire.

It wasn't so much a reaction against anything in the Roman Empire as the thing that sprang up as the more politically and economically advanced Roman system collapsed. Roman citizens had political rights, such as protection from arbitrary punishment, which were lost in the feudal era. The Roman state collected taxes and used them to provide substantial public goods, such as roads, aqueducts, sewage systems, public baths and theaters, the grain dole, courts and of course, defense of the frontiers against barbarian incursion. With the collapse of that system, the Latin-speaking population of Western Europe came under the rule of rather uncooth German tribesmen. The only honorable professions open to the Roman aristocracy, which previously would have gone into the civil service, were in the Church and the meagre administrations of the new German kingdoms. Taxation systems broke down, the previous public goods were no longer provided, and the common population came under the personal rule of their lords.

I wouldn't call a system in which the common population is subjected to the personal rule of a lord more "free" than a system of laws.

The government doesn't print money to catch failing banks, at least not usually. For standard bank deposits, banks pay a fee to FDIC as a percentage of their assets just like any insurance policy.

Keep in mind, it's to the bank's advantage to remain solvent at all costs.
An insolvent bank will be liquidated and shareholders are left empty handed. Between the FDIC insurance and the liquidated assets is how these things are paid out.

Largely came to say similar... As someone who didn't go the college route, it's hard for me to sympathize with someone who chose to go 6 figures into debt for a degree in a job that's specifically overloaded, and jobs that pay less than 1/4 if that debt. It's just not a wise decision. Not to mention the over-bloated costs to begin with.

Most of the suggested solutions will not really do much to change things. Maybe requiring students to sign that they've seen job market studies for their chosen program and/or forcing non-compounding interest for student loans while still in college. Maybe even capping loan interest to 10% of income when direct withholding 15%. Optioning loans under cost/benefit would probably go a long way as well.

Absolutely, the trends seem very obvious. The global population is unlikely to double in the next 100 years.

No, the issue with space debris is that we are quickly approaching the point where a single unfortunately placed collision could chain using a sort of exponential “shotgun effect”, destroying virtually all satellites at a given orbit and rendering space travel impossible for decades if not centuries, setting human space exploration back significantly as launches have to deal with thousands of metal shards traveling at tens of thousands of mph.

You can do hardware accelerated stuff atop WinAPI; many, sadly, don't seem to know it. WinRT, is exactly for that; it's the distillation of UWP, which can be used in a simple Win32 app [1] e.g. The modern, hardware-accelerated API for compositing on Windows is Visual Layer (available under `ABI::Windows::UI::Composition`) [2]; it can be used from a Win32 app written in pure C++ [3] and the C++/CX language extension is unneeded.

Well. You can go back and listen to podcast interviews by some of the early iPhone developers and they will tell you that they were thinking about that from day one.

But to think Apple - the company that had implemented copy and paste on Macs 23 years before then wasn’t thinking about copy and paste until they saw it on jailbroken phones is silly.

It’s equally crazy thinking that Apple didn’t think about implementing a standard phone feature until they saw in the jail broken apps.

The key point is how fast the temperature changes. Over several thousands of years that change can be tolerated by the ecosystem (animals and plants evolve over several hundreds of generations and can survive). We already increased the temperature of 1. something degrees Celsius in perhaps a 100 of years and the trend in accelerating. That's way too fast for natural selection to make a difference.

So, yeah, Eocene was super warm, but the flora and fauna was well adapted to survive in those conditions.

The title is completely misleading.

> The liberal justices on the court, in a dissenting ruling, argued instead that the terms under which the nonprofit ran the channels for the city should have bound it to First Amendment constraints

This is what should be discussed - statists (anti-liberals, rather than liberals) such as Sotomayor.

The EFF is also mentioned in the article. I don't understand their concerns, it's as if they just wanted to gain exposure... Their concerns seem unrelated to the case.
India is not our Civilization. I'm presuming you're either in America or Europe, or heavily influenced by their culture.

India's chief problem is overpopulation. There are simply too many people to provide water to. The country needs an urgent population program encouraging poorer families to have one or zero children. The same things are working in Bangladesh.
I'm with you, with all the costs a bonus seems like a pretty arbitrary place to make the call to be cheap.

In the situation I was in there were some penny punchers who felt quite proud of saving a couple hundred bucks here or there and couldn't see the forest through the trees of the misc expenses they were "saving".

It was really just poor management.
The clear conservative/liberal decision split is interesting. I can rationalize why it is that way in retrospect. (Private companies, even non-profits doing a job for the government, have a right to curtail the use of their resources for most reasons.) But I'm not sure I'd have necessarily predicted it.

It's probably worth noting that the EFF filed an amicus brief essentially arguing against (as I understand it) a broad definition of state actors because of the benefits of having both moderated and unmoderated platforms. So, presumably, this ruling was more in line with their argument than the dissent.

You can do a lot of things but, at some point, you have to ask yourself if the solution is signficantly more complex than storing local time and the timezone.

You also need to be aware that timezones change; even now there are discussions about eliminating daylight saving time in various regions.
If you store 4:00pm on Nov 25th and convert that to UTC based on the timezone rules as they exist today, you'll be wrong when you convert them back under different timezone rules. There's just no way to do that cleanly.

There are also things to consider: if the user changes their own timezone (by moving) did they intend the value of that time to change (4:00pm is now 1:00pm because it's a WebEx and they moved East) or did they intend that to remain at 4:00pm (it's when they take their medicine every day).
Once I wrote a quick demo of a classic content-heavy portal with our in-house portal system (at the time).
It took me 2 days over a weekend.
Shipped for the demo with some partner, forgot about it.

6 months later, an angry customer wrote to my boss about the "Energy Saving Monitoring System" somebody sold to them stating that some kind of SSO wasn't working as expected.

My boss handed the case to me and I, flabbergasted as I was, proceeded to delve deeper into the strange report about that system we were sure we've never written, let alone sold to somebody.

Long story short, it was my quick demo of a content heavy portal, turned into that monster of a "Energy Saving Monitoring System" - whatever that is - by the partner we demoed it to, and sold to several customers as a finished product.

I didn't read it as a critique of formal program analysis either. In fact, several aspects of his approach can be found in formal verification of probabilistic systems. However to me, it seems that the author thinks to have accomplished the same thing as the author of TTTM.

> The mathematical method described here has a number of advantages over formal verification, including reduced code size and complexity.

My comment was intended to stress that the authors achieved different things. This article proved that the game design is sound, i.e. verification at model-level, while the original one proved that the implementation cannot reach certain undesired states. Both are perfectly reasonable, justifiable and necessary.
>Some things are common enough knowledge that asking for a source is disingenuous.

Yes. But then we invented science and "common knowledge" was proven ignorant time and time again.

>It's like asking for a source to prove the sky is blue or that the earth is round...

Hardly. I can't look out my window and see what the temperature was thousands of years ago.

>This community claims to be one of educated professionals

You're claiming that, not 'the community.'

What is intellectually lazy is not providing information that verifies your claims, and instead preferring to debate the social circumstances of an internet discussion. You're not obligated to provide a source. You don't have to do it. But don't think you're somehow more intellectually honest or hardworking because you refuse to.

If 2 seconds of googling solves this problem, then you should have probably just done that rather than arguing about whether you should need to.
