Agreed completely, but Google don't care about "nice to have"; if it doesn't ultimately make them money, they couldn't care in the slightest, yet people here will often applaud this attitude as if it were progress.
The state of Illinois is not financially sound. The state's bond rating, a measure of its credit worthiness, is hovering at the border of junk-bond territory. Pension liabilities and ineffective government are persistent dark clouds. You likely don't want to be the last taxpayer standing when the wheels come off that train.
For starters, lets feed the cows some seaweed.

IMO technology is very rapidly evolving which will drastically reduce emissions with very little negative trade-offs, and in fact, do so in an economically competitive fashion.

The EV cars don’t just emit nothing, they are also better cars in almost every respect. The seaweed cows don’t just not fart methane, they grow fatter for less feed. The solar power isn’t just green, it’s cheaper and safer per GWh, and makes good use of fallow land while promoting biodiversity,... etc.
That's a naive statement. Take streaming protocols, as an example, and that alone is reason enough for why you shouldn't it over HTTP. HTTP is inherently stateless. There are many use-cases that are stateful. This leads to high latencies for HTTP streaming since the full state (HTTP headers to tell me who you are and what you want) is sent for every request.
I don't think M:N forces a stack. The stack no stack is called stackless coroutine vs stackful coroutine.

M:N is the parallelization level. I'm actually not sure if Rust is M:1 or M:N or both based on configuration.

M is the number of concurrent process in the language, basically the number of user thread. These user threads can be implemented to be stackful or stackless, up to the language. The N is the number of OS threads.

At least that's always been my understanding.
July is hotter than January, even though the planet is closer to the sun in January, because there is more land in the northern hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere.

There was a submission ~3 months ago regarding this phenomenon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20012565

I’m certain there’s a submarine agenda behind most of these “hottest month EVAR” stories. /methinks it’d be much more productive to focus on making human society more resilient, than to focus on a single variable (“carbon”).

I followed /u/RickJWagner’s comment’s link to accuweather, and saw a story expressing concern about this year’s coming harvest [0].

Instead of focusing on immediate problems, the NY Times and others fixate on the one variable the experts have been collecting data for, and say “see this confirms the one-variable model is right!”

>> [...] Noam Chomsky has a characteristically dry and precise version of the story: “Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that’s where the light is. It has no other choice.”

>> So historians, mystics, scientists and drunks have something in common: they all tend to seek the truth where the process of seeking is easy, rather than where truth is.

Do you mind putting an email in your profile (or by reply)? I'd like to get your opinion on something but would rather not ask here.
A school like Oberlin in a town like Oberlin needs to have multiple off-campus social justice trips per year so these students have perspective and real opportunity to try on their newly-educated energy.
Agreed — something about this post doesn’t pass the smell test.

1. He’s a profitable trader at a tier 1 firm who has the spare time to not only develop a series of algorithms based on 130 research papers, but also sufficiently backtest them in 7 months?

2. He said he looked at the past 8 years of papers, but refers to multiple models correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis.

3. Where are the code samples?

Edit:

Lol, just realized his medium post ends with a crypto scam.
Public, private, whatever, doesn't matter. I thought Google was going to beat everyone to the cloud after I/O 2008 but ... nothing but slow progress. I don't know how The Book Seller and The OS Maker could leave Google - master of scaling, data and servers - in the dust in Gartner's Cloud Magic Quadrant, but they have. They have the chops by far; where's the bottleneck, sales?

I'm really disappointed, but I have hopes Kurian will shake it all up and move things up and to the right.
> It uses separate "command" and "data" channels

This is not a bad thing in itself. It could enable you to download each file from a different, potentially better endpoint, while talking to the same server for coordination. It's just not the way we do it these days anymore - 3xx and anycast/CDNs solve that one to some extent. And NATs destroyed that idea being usable years ago. It's still fine in protocols like sip.

It is progress though. FTP is insecure, and worse still it breaks the security model of HTTPS (see article for more info). Plus additional code paths could be sources of bugs/exploits, particularly old/rarely updated ones.

40 people ended up dead in the aftermath of killing of the terrorist leader, Burhan Wani, when there were no curbs of speech and assembly.

Right now, the number of casualties stand at 0 [7].

Article 370, was a discriminatory law which treated everyone but the Sunni Muslim males of the valley, as second class citizens.

Kashmir and it's political elite did nothing with the autonomy, and left the state in a more backward legal condition than India, where the law has at least (painfully) slowly evolved to decriminalise homosexuality, yielded greater property rights to women, and provide (controversial) affirmative action to disadvantaged sections of the population, among other things. Not to mention, democratic institutions governing elections, and investigating corruption have also been established, but not in Kashmir because of 370.

Instead the elites have only used their autonomy to provide cover to terrorists, create corrupt patronage networks, dodged investigative agencies building anti-corruption cases, enable nepotistic official appointments etc [6].

In spite of these things, the valley's Muslim population supports 370, because they have significantly bought into radical Islamic ideology, to the extent that their struggle against India is now religious and seeks to establish an Islamic state, rather than freedom from India for ethnic Kashmiris (which only is only around 60% Sunni Muslim and the rest include Buddhists, Shias - who are in favour of 370 abrogation, Hindus, Jains and Sikhs).

Their most popular slogan, which you can also hear in the video released by BBC is:

"Hum kya chahte? Azaadi! Azaadi ka matlab kya? La illaha il allah!"

which translates to ~>

"What do we want? Freedom! What does freedom mean? There is no god but Allah!"

In that video you can also hear them chanting the names of killed ISIS and Al Qaeda leaders and you can see people carrying ISIS and Jaish-e-Mohammed flags.

In my opinion, any action taken by the government to eliminate these guys is fully justified, and any ground ceded to them will only result in more escalation of the conflict. See the current US negotiation with Taliban amidst daily attacks, suicide bombings and no ceasefire [4], [5]. Islamist tactics are the same everywhere, especially in this case, since they have both been supported by Pakistan.

Nobody is advocating publishing new resources via FTP and neglecting HTTP. I hope every FTP server starts supporting HTTP as well. But that's not how it works. Dropping support is willfully causing link rot.
The thing is, 90% coverage is not that great. What happens is that you understand common words that make up for a lot of structure, but when an uncommon word appears it's probably important to the sentence. For example, "son, if you go to the plumbf tomorrow morning don't forget to pick up some zlonks."

98% is closer to what you need in order to read a text and have an idea of what's going on. See this article:

But one would hope that the college officials, who were fully adults and had years of experience dealing with the Gibson family, would try to temper passions rather than throwing fuel on the fire.

I hope Oberlin has to pay every penny the jury awarded, though I doubt it will.
Over the years I've constantly heard about how expensive X city is. But you look 10 years later and it's even more expensive.

If the city has jobs and the weather is relatively nice versus the rest of the country then don't expect the home prices to drop for any long period of time.

What ends up happening is that a set of people that can't get the right paying jobs get priced out and those that have the right skills move in. We see it over and over again. You would think that technology would have disrupted the situation but it has not.

My thinking is that with the deliver anything in 2 hours apps. It will be easier for people to move into an area where they don't have all the restaurants and small shops people usually like in the neighborhood. They can just order it. Therefore, making it easier for prices to stay up as long as there's a way to pay.

Los Angeles is one of those cities that has long ago priced many people out of being able to buy a home. So what has happened is that people commute into the city from cities around LA. I don't expect that to change in most of our lifetimes.
The FTP link can still use xdg-open or whatever the local equivalent is to spawn the user's FTP app and connect to that URL. I think that's how most URLs with unsupported (by the browser) protocols are handled nowadays anyway.
「シルバーバーチの霊訓」１１巻まで固定ページにUP完了、急ぎましょう（祈）†
Yes. Just like the text conversion thing, or the non-standardizes file listing thing (not everything was UNIX-ish, VMS was still around), at the time it made sense. Today it's just clunky hindrances, and the protocol has lost its benefits.
It counts for a lot in the CA statehouse vs what it would be in GA. That said at the federal level, my vote is largely meaningless. But for the majority of my voting life I've had a bifurcated federal government that gets nothing done. So from my vantage the state is where real policy is coming from anyways.
I have been using exclusively dev and nightly for at least two years, and have only very occasionally run into issues. Of course, my usage is pretty typical web browsing, outside of using the dev tools.

It’s been long enough now that the normal colorful Firefox logo seems weird.
That’s quite by design, some believe. Same with how development loans work - they basically mean that the country has to export a large proportion of the their output (to get the foreign currency required to pay back the loan - foreign denominated debt really is a poisoned chalice for any country). So they encourage development of resource extraction and farming of crops valuable for export (fruit, etc. but generally not good staples because of the huge amount of subsidised US product on the market). So they eventually dependant on importing staples, which makes the US very influential (sanctions, for example are much more effective if a country can’t feed itself).
I too work at a company/in an industry where FTP (incl. sftp/ftps) is still crucial, for both inbound and outbound transfers. A great many of our partners would find using other protocols more cumbersome. Automating the download/upload of entire directories of arbitrarily named files seems considerably easier/to require less code than any solution over HTTP might (log in, perhaps change directory, `prompt`, then `mget/mput *`). Albeit I've not done much research into alternative means recently, but a dedicated protocol beats a hand rolled solution and anyway inertia is strong - especially as (for us) nothing is transferred in either direction that isn't destined to be made public by one party.

This is tangential to whether support for FTP is still worth keeping in a web browser, mind.
SFTP (SSH) gives you greater control over that, not less. In fact with SFTP you can append to any location in a file, not just the end.
$20 per test!!!!!!!! That's not the police's "money", it's the tax payers. it's mine. no offense, but I feel like this is a ripoff. Seems innocent until you realize each cop could easily blow through (pun intended) $1,000 of my tax payer money in a quick evening and maybe if we are lucky catch 1 "bad guy". That's a lot of my tax dollars to make you rich, too much if you ask me.
You can point your browser to treasurydirect.gov sign up and transfer some funds and hold your own little piece of USA government debt!
As written in another comment, you will find FTP to actually be a truly horrendous protocol, at least from today's perspective. I'm not sure there is anything that FTP offers, that the rsync or sftp, for example, offer much better (or simply HTTP if it's only in one direction), and then some.

SFTP is actually not just FTP over SSH. The protocol is different precisely to get rid of a lot of the outdated nuisances.

> raises the cost of borrowing

Long-term interest rates are lower now than in recorded history.

> flight of capital to safety, particularly domestically

Is there any evidence that domestic demand is stronger than foreign demand?

> over concerns of the same recession

Europe is much closer to recession than the US. Maybe they're the marginal buyers of US bonds and driving down rates?

German manufacturing just fell off a cliff. European banks are in crisis. European bonds have negative rates from 3 months to 30 years, while US bonds still have a positive yield. The dollar is strengthening.

> A worst-case scenario for the US is higher interest rates

This is a bizarre conclusion given dramatic and relentless reductions in US rates, and negative rates in Europe and Japan.

I'd say the worst-case scenario is if rates go negative in the US and policymakers lose the ability to stimulate in response to recession. Zero and negative rates push the pension crisis into catastrophe. Then US and global economies turn deflationary at the same time. Very difficult problem to fix.
These sorts of comments show just how hard understanding complex systems is.

We have to make it easy to grasp so we come up with things like “Global warming” or “climate change” for the general public. Which maybe indicates that the change is in a particular direction.

But the climate is a system that can be influenced by many factors. I think what you should be worried about is repeated unseasonal weather. Too cool may be just as bad as too hot.

Vocabulary frequency lists have long been very popular with publishers, so I assume as well with language learners. The assumption behind these is that with knowledge of, say, 90% of the vocabulary you encounter, you will comprehend 90% of the writings you encounter. It doesn't work out at all that way, though, because it is generally the low frequency vocabulary that carries the key information in a text and on which the interpretation of everything else hinges.

The point is to keep your mind focused on one still thought. Letting your mind wander around won't do much. Complexity of the thought should match your ability. Lam-rim says that more short meditations is better than one long meditation. Ideally, one would meditate 16 times a day. And again, the whole point is to stay focused on one thought.
I think it's a lot harder to become technically competent these days.

Before, computers compelled you to have a certain level of technical competence to be a user.

Now, the barrier to entry is a lot lower, but there aren't many of the very young learning their way around command lines, etc. The resources once you are on the track to doing technical stuff are far better, but you're less likely to end up on that track-- especially at an early age.

The fact that students from Oberlin shoplifted frequently at that shop, and more often than not those caught doing so were white, should have been enough to at least get cooler heads to prevail a few days later. But rather than the situation cooling down as time went on, the libelous rhetoric accelerated. When the school started doubling down, that was not the day after the election. So I don't really buy the election outcome hypothesis/excuse.
Not to mention crop monoculture is terrible for the quality of the soil, forcing farmers to use (literally) tons of synthetic phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium just to get acceptable yields. It results in lower quality crops than those that result from polyculture, as well.

A comment in the top thread mentioned The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan as a good introduction to this issue and I'll second that. A fun read, too. He investigates hunting and amateur mycology as well.
The Psychological Key to Creating the Best Version of You
Thanks, I didn't mean this hypothetical as a way of skirting the rule—I just didn't know if the FCC was concerned about how EAS-like broadcasts are processed by machines or how they're processed both by machines and by humans.

I remember that the old EBS tone could automatically trigger some stations (like ours) to switch over to rebroadcasting a transmission from another station. I believe that the EAS signal does the same. At least in the EAS case, I didn't know whether the FCC was specifically hoping to catch humans' attention with the tones, or just to use them as a signal to transmission equipment to rapidly change the content it was broadcasting over to emergency announcement content, even without human intervention.

Several of the replies here, including yours, suggest that the FCC explicitly means for it to serve both purposes.

Nice site. Did you build it using opensource software or custom? I'm looking to run similar site for a different niche.
Moreover it's not implausible (I'd wager it's actually likely) that HP and other websites still relying on FTP will be pressured to actually fix their sites and switch to something more secure once Chrome drops support.
I have to admit that avahi has caused me more trouble -- 100% CPU spin loops -- than any other piece of system software, over many years. It does nothing I want done, does it badly, and is inexplicably hard to get rid of.

PulseAudio mostly works, now, but I will be happy to see its low-latency successor displace it.

Systemd's only great sin is using up 100MB in each VM to do what should takevno more than 4M. As memory gets bigger, I run more VMs, so systemd usage grows apace. Maybe I should be running containers instead, but Qubes doesn't work that way.
What does 'failure' mean then? ;)
I disagree with half the of the assertions in this article. I don't like how the coke freestyle machines work. They touch screens are finicky, the soda doesn't taste as good, and the interaction feels a little over-the-top. I think the simplicity of most gas pump interfaces is actually a feature. My main gripe is that they are slow. While I don't think gas pump ux is amazing, it seems like the author is conflating visual design with effective user experience.

I’ve been wondering this too- especially since I’ve always heard that fields like psychology are “over saturated” and that there are tons of people with psychology degrees that can’t find jobs. Seems like if this is true there is a change for a win/win here (people get jobs and cheaper mental health care)
I wasn’t talking about silence, I was talking about the person who was communicating their disapproval of the situation because of an extremely minor personal inconvenience.

And of course we don’t know what the person cared about, we just know what they said they cared about, which is all we can go on. They were happy to discuss their political views by saying they thought the protesters were an inconvenience, so it seems pretty unlikely that they did have deep concerns about racism because that response makes no sense for someone who feels that way.
