Agreed. There is no way that a startup is capitalized enough to survive a payout. Their CEO and investors must be sweating bullets over the next few days, worrying if an earthquake hits closer to LA
and now everyone is vaccinating against the cold? Or was it the flu? xD
Sadly, people do the same in the stock market too. And I’ve seen the same result - lots of tails crushing someone’s financial future.

Sad how prevalent this is. At least I have to fly to Vegas - the stock market is on my phone.
It would be better in some ways, but it does lead to a higher infant mortality rate (as the other commenter pointed out). I don't think I am willing to make that trade off (even if I could... I would be arrested if I let my 3 year old wonder down the street alone)
I love this guy's units. 1/4 of a bee's dick is my favorite.

I think the reason why Clojure (alongside with F#) is the most paid language (according to StackOverflow and State of JS surveys) because more and more FinTech companies are discovering that the language is exceptionally well suited for manipulating financial data (and not just that). Another reason is: like the one you've mentioned: Clojure mainly attracts more experienced, "grumpy" developers, those who have seen things and tried different ways and become almost apathetic and burned out from (over and over again) building and maintaining projects that despite all the efforts almost always spiral into big, unmaintainable clusterfucks.
Get under a strong table, away from glass.

Do NOT get in a doorway, unless it is one without a door. The door is more dangerous than any other damage.

Do NOT run outside, unless it's faster than getting under a table. And if you do go outside, get away from power lines.
Eh, no. Windows phone was not good. Horrible UX for the average person. Companies don't make phones for computer science graduates. The modern touch-based UI was entirely an Apple creation.

Idiomatic Clojure is also really slow compared to SBCL-compiled Common Lisp or one of the faster scheme implementations. The compiler's fairly basic and it relies on the JVM for optimisations, which isn't great at the kind of optimisations a compiler aware of higher level semantics can do. It is possible to achieve decent performance by using it as basically a Java wrapper, but that's much uglier than idiomatic code, compared to e.g. SBCL Common Lisp where idiomatic code can still be fairly performant.

> with the range extender, basically turns the car into a hybrid

That's not fair since (unless you mod it) the REX only kicks in when you get to 6% battery. In the year I have been driving the i3 I have used less then a gallon of gas.
After checking the build quality of the places around here (SFO bay area) I'm getting concerned too.

Make sure to have a backpack with some essential items there. Have some gallons of water and make sure to have a plan in the eventuality of an accident, for example, make sure to close the gas main valve.
Sync with your family on where to gather if they are at work/school, etc.

I was there for the 9.1 @ Chile in 2010 and all of this was super helpful, within 10 minutes my whole family was gathered in our parents house and we were already saving water in our bathtub and pans (which was super handy, because we had no water for about 3 weeks)
Was browsing hackernews and suddenly felt bed shaking , thought it was due to tiredness (been to beach).

First time felt earthquake .. Surreal experience
I think you will get the hacker vibe a lot more when you start browsing around Clojure libraries and stuff people have built with it for fun.

Re startup time, maybe you prefer to run on JS. See eg https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo

(Though you can also use GraalVM to get fast startup time on prod builds of JVM Clojure projecs)
> In some of our code, we would test the size of various types and structures on startup

This is one of the things that C++ has actually improved a lot recently: doing this with static_assert is much nicer in terms of catching problems early... And yes, it's great for long-term maintainability.
I’ve owned three BMW 3-Series sedans in a row. I was very very tempted by Tesla, until I actually drove one.

It feels like a Honda Civic. Like a cheap downmarket economy car. Sure it has acceleration but so does a BMW more than you’ll ever need too. The experience is obviously disappointing if you’re used to German luxury cars.

The point being, that if the German luxury brands get the hang of the electric thing Tesla’s going to be in severe danger.
I’m going to buy Model 3 Performance, but I’m still going to keep my M3, because, guess what, unlike gas stations, there are no supercharges next to the racetracks. So going for a track day in Model 3 is a really tricky proposition.

I just looked into it. Their max payout appears to be $10,000. That's not a lot. It's not to rebuild your house or anything, it's just to pay for a hotel for a while and maybe some new food.

Good for Denmark. A large arctic territory will be great to have once oil drilling becomes viable in the region. I have no idea what reserves can be found but that is the kind of thing that makes overseas territories valuable.
You're screwed.

Also press Alt

And use "Q" while hovering over an object to put it in hand (if it's in your inventory). Press "Q" again to drop whats in hand. I played waaayyy to long without knowing this and it is unbelievably useful, saves mountains of time digging through your inventory.
Same! I received a 20,000 mAh store-brand battery from WalMart a while back, and it works really well, was a good value, and can run a Pi forever. Same goes for the HDMI -> RCA adapter of theirs that I literally asked my mom to get (she's not technical, and managed to get exactly what I needed, which is great!)

Yay, WalMart! (And Best Buy, for that matter- their online pick-it-up-in-five-minutes option is amazing.)
I wonder if the P Wave is what gave you that feeling.
>the hardest working, highest average IQ professionals are slow to adopt something that would help them save their patient's lives?

This is already the case with checklists, which are proven to save lives but resisted by many doctors:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2090554-not-all-surgeon... . In my limited experience with doctors a non-insignificant proportion seem to care more about their own ego than saving lives (the kind of people who would bring up their own IQ in a discussion).

Medical error is apparently the third largest cause of death in the US (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/22/medical-errors-third-leading...), and surgical checklists have been shown to reduce error rates by 40%: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2009/jan/14/health. In any other profession it would be completely unacceptable to refuse to use a technique like checklists on the grounds that "I don't make silly mistakes"; imagine if an engineer working on safety-critical equipment said "My code doesn't need any testing because I don't make mistakes".
I suspect you have this backwards: I bet cats have an internal monologue thinking about the next mouse or fresh tin of food. It'll be experienced by them as the same experience as when they're actually chasing a mouse. I think the concept of experiencing a replay of an experience predates language by tens of millions of years. Language just adds a new codec onto that mechanism.

It sounds almost as if you are arguing that BMW does not want to invest heavily in EV because the cost of labor is not high enough. That's absurd. The logical conclusion is that they should pay them to retire.
LA Times published an article earlier today about how yesterday's quake may have increased the strain and could lead to a larger one like this: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-did-california-...

More info in this article (linked to from the one above): http://temblor.net/earthquake-insights/southern-california-m...
It's also larger than the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that destroyed a lot of San Francisco, which was 6.9.

A lot of this also has to do with how close to populated areas the earthquake is, and if the same quake happened today, the damage would be much less due to better construction.
>150 hours in a 7 day period

Doing what? Just curious. I could only image doing something like that if the job was extremely lax - like a toll booth operator in a slow town, or something.
It wasn't really. It's at the south end of the Owens Valley, about as close to Vegas as LA.
The third one has another implementation defined aspect. We do not know the value of a space ' ', in ascii it is 0x20(32) but that depends on the system, in EBCDIC it is 0x40(64).

If my time in Japan has taught me anything, it’s to get under something. The big danger is stuff nearby toppling onto you and immobilizing you. Bookshelves, wardrobes, floating cabinets, drop ceilings, and such can hurt you unless you pop under a table or desk quickly.

In Japan, they have earthquake simulators that drive this point home. The old version is a truck whose bed is fitted with a simulated apartment on hydraulic shakers. The newer version is VR.

Your second concern is fire. In Japan, gas is always run through a sensor that cuts the line if shaking is too intense. I’m not sure if California has the same. If there’s a gas leak nearby, that’s the next serious danger after falling objects.
None? Why would anyone want to do that?

Your point is well taken, however I'm not sure comparing 30 year old technology to today's video format is a fair comparison. The only reason why gifs still exist today despite their limitations is that they can be displayed on all screens being an image format. As you know dealing with video is much more complicated and while modern browsers have no issues with displaying it, many
applications do not support it. There are number of issue with using APNG across various mediums also so the good ole gif stays for now. I'm thinking of adding ability to just cut video into any length and can make it looping as well, but for now there seems to be demand for making pure gifs. its a work in progress so number of things will be added.
I appreciate your reply!
When you go to that area and stand on one of the mountains -- say, on the west ridge of Death Valley -- you can clearly see how the region is a bunch of vertical columns of continental crust that have toppled over, like dominoes. If I call correctly, as the North American plate is pushed up, it gets pulled apart (because the Earth is spherical?) and the cracked pieces fall onto each other. The valleys in between fill with sediment over time, but get deeper also as the mountains roll over further.

Point is, I wonder if this was the sound of Badwater Basin (lowest point in North America) getting a little bit lower...
Your last paragraph has a lot of truth while your first paragraph is still wedded to wrong ideas. Let me structure my response differently;

1) First, my point in listing the paper on Qigong is that, it is a practice which has been established after the "Cultural Revolution" and thus is a sanitized version from a whole babel of ancient texts with a severe focus on practical efficacy and knowledge of modern science. Thus its inclusion under TCM which was promoted by the Chinese govt. In this process some of the possible valid allegorical levels and mystical knowledge may have been lost since they were considered "woo-woo" gilded in mere flowery language. But the end result is something which is concrete and valid enough to be accepted as "Alternative Medicine" which is a good thing. So you have a solid baseline if you start your studies here.

2) Now you might be interested in studying the ancient texts(from Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism) with all their allegories and flowery language to figure out what might have been lost during the standardization process. But this is quite hard without having the baseline knowledge mentioned above. This is where the hucksters and charlatans have a field day. They take some words/verses/ideas from these texts, interpret them in their own way with no proper comprehension, draw absurd parallels with other similar systems/modern science and hey presto; you have a series of books to sell and a cult to build. The waters have now been muddied. So a student first needs to do some proper research for authentic sources. In this day and age that is not too difficult. For example, you have definitive translations done by "Fabizio Pregadio"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrizio_Pregadio) who is a scholar on "Taoist Alchemy" which is what you seem to be interested in. See his works here: https://www.goldenelixir.com/press/_sub_taoism.html

I think the best approach is never save unencrypted data on cloud. Always encrypted on client first. But by that way we lost dedup capability, so we have to do everything, such as encryption, dedup and compression on client side. I made an in-app file system dedicated for that purpose. https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox

Infrastructure or buildings? Wood-frame buildings without a soft story are pretty safe, at least in terms of not killing you.

It involves significantly less.

Nuclear power generates significantly more energy for the amount of resources used.
Yes, that's the main sell of GraphQL I believe, the "graph" of the name. Your clients could theoretically make one API request for all their data needs by specifying the relationships the care about.

E.g. I want all of my posts and their respective comments and the users making those comments. You can narrow things down a lot by specifying fields: only give me the name and avatars of the commenters. With REST I've done this in the past with N API calls: give me my posts, iterate over the IDs of those posts to make N API calls for their comments, and another N calls for the comment user data I need.

At that point, a custom API endpoint could trim down the network calls a lot, and this is where GraphQL shines in comparison. You wrote a resolver for a user, comment and post in the backend, and GraphQL server frameworks can piece those together for you.
No, it isn't. The correct answer to #2 is "According to the standard, the result is implementation defined, but on my target platform, 0". "I don't know" is the wrong answer.
C has had standardized static assert since the C11 spec was released. See [1] for instance.

Better construction is real. I work for a medical institution that is spending close to $1bln to build a new hospital from scratch because they found it cheaper than to do yet another earthquake retrofit.

I’m thoroughly disillusioned with the modern medical phenomenon of the spectrum of illness.

Coping with mental illness takes at least 3 dimensions to chart. This research suggests there is money and interest in exploring 2 1/2D. Great. I guess?

PTSD, phantom limb syndrome, and alcoholism also exist. No one would think it’s cute to conflate them or suggest they’re “related”
Bizarre title. Why mention Bezos when the article has nothing to do with it?
Bit off topic, but it's amazing when you're in another time zone how hard it is in 2019 to actually workout when an event occurred, there are dates everywhere attached to this event, some with the timezone listed, some without. When you do have the time zone, conversion isn't trivial.

I hope someday at least the Internet works on UTC :)
Maybe the timing was coincidental, but it looked like reddit was down for a few minutes after the earthquake (I checked some other sites to make sure it wasn't just my router being silly after power
came back). Reminded me a bit of how almost every news website (barring Slashdot) went down on 9/11. I wonder how many sites could handle the load if a serious disaster happened. Makes me reconsider where I'll be able to get info when something bad happens

I can't even think about a horrible company like Amazon being an ISP too! Think about all the privacy issues that we are going to have!

But if they do this, this is going to be good for the US broadband customers who don't have internet currently. Not to mention they are stuck with monopoly companies without any competition and options. This is going to wake Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and Charter!

But Amazon is going to screw your net neutrality in the most crazy way once the initial period of cheap plans gets over and they have a strong monopoly of user base!
The most valuable asset a doctor has is the trust of their patients. Not going to risk that for a half-baked product with lukewarm support from its developer and a weak endorsement from NPR.

Even if this product could aggregate data from all the PBMs, that doesn't mean the drug will be in stock at a patient's local pharmacy.

Furthermore, there are many commonly prescribed drugs that are cheaper to buy outright using a discount program (not insurance). Also, there are manufacturer-to-patient rebates offered for some brand name drugs without a generic.

In short, there's a lot more information that doctors already factor into their decision-making process. This tool is not compelling enough to bring into the mix.

These are surface waves, which have a much greater amplitude on the earth's surface than P-waves (which are faster). It's pretty unlikely that anyone can feel P-waves unless they are fairly close to the epicenter. P-waves are also basically a very short pulse; the S waves, which come later, last a bit longer, but also may have relatively low amplitude, and then the surface waves come last and cause the most perceptible (and damaging) ground motion.
