No more than we did to any other English-speaking US territory in the 19th or 20th century that didn't have enough people for statehood. (And before you bring up Puerto Rico, a) it's not English-speaking and b) no, it's not true that its people have ever voted for statehood, whether in 2017 or any other year.) If Guam or USVI ever gets to a population closer to that of one of the smaller US states, and its people vote to apply for statehood, we'll talk then. Same goes for Greenland should the US buy it, hordes of Americans migrate to it, and it develops a substantial English-speaking population.
How long does it take to produce a course? Probably 4:1 hours prepared per hour of content, with 33h of material in undergrad courses. Say 200 hours of high quality focus?

Let’s add 80 hours of technical nuisance to make the videos work nicely too.

That means that the effort would be worth $268/h roughly. If the course was very good, I’m not against a teacher making that for a particular project.

Calling it donations is weird though, I guess another commenter said it was the university that was requiring it

0. Has anyone seriously looked into variations of intermittent fasting &| extended fasting?

1. Did you have brain fog after hunger went away after a few days, or less fog?

2. What about maintenance vitamins, electrolytes and preventing gallstones?

3. How long did you continue for, until hunger returned?
There are plenty bosses like this in Germany, which doesn't have as much of a history of slavery.

I'd wager that when looking at countries with roughly the same level of industrialization, whether humans view fellow humans as something more than mere resources is linked to a certain set of attitudes.

I'd guess that reduced working hours are positively correlated to pluralism and pacifism, and perhaps negatively correlated to religiousness.

The more you think that life ought to be lived a certain way, the more likely you are to see work as a savior from straying from that way.

Looking at countries that have severely mistreated minorities, natives or remote people might also reveal a correlation, the more so the less this is part of the public consciousness.
Yeah, tempted to post all my scripts (in various languages) here which are over 100 LOC on average. There are hundreds.
When pressed, after other employees labeled the publication as "new media" and "news agency". There are several passages that characterize Lin as annoyed, irritated, angry etc with the interview process to the point of claiming “Can’t I just tell you that I was being a fucking idiot?”. Decontextualizing the nature of the interview and soundbite into a headline is not responsible journalism IMO, especially when it is well understood that a around half of most readers typically only consume headlines. Hence the response article labeling the original piece as a trap.

As for the balancing Chinese perspective, it was one paragraph of people who are disturbed that the publication is "synonymous with government propaganda" and a more detailed examination of one named individual who is apathetic towards the role of journalism to further support the narrative that Chinese students are "melon-eating masses". These accounts hardly encapsulates the amount of distaste among the Chinese diaspora for the publication, who regularly shits on the journal for being a clickfarm the same way many called out Buzzfeed or Gawker in the west, tacitly endorsing the generic Chinese as a monolith trope. There are plenty of Chinese students / general diaspora members who are high-information consumers that have a rational basis to support (and not support) the CPC whose world view is informed by both Chinese and Western sources and experiences. And unsurprisingly there is a conspicuous lack acknowledgement of their existence in western MSM, which is a shame because their perspective is worth understanding.

Anecdotally, there's many highly educated Romanian and Chinese immigrants up in Canada that escaped repressive conditions of the old country. You won't find many Romanian nationalists in the diaspora, and very few who returned. Not so with China. It's worth understanding why and I surmise the answer is more nuanced than these folks are brainwashed.
> There is no chance a driver would leave their camera running while doing something wrong.

Simple solution: ride in progress, camera is switched off? Send an alert. Your camera is broken? Too bad, you're not getting any rides until it's working again.

> And if they did, they would delete the evidence after as it's not feasible for driver's to upload video live from their device to Lyft during all trips.

Lots of criminal energy and knowledge required ... and they'd make themselves look guilty as hell.

Cameras obviously don't stop crime, but they would help with law enforcement and stop future crime: if a driver is in jail, they can't assault anybody else.
I don‘t doubt the results, but I also wouldn‘t exclude a causation/correlation 101 fail.

Ask yourself who the aircraft has been deployed against.

Then ask yourself what would happen if it were deployed against someone comparable to the United States.

During the 1980's within "two weeks [of full hostilities between the US and the USSR] the entire A-10 force at the time — around 700 jets — would have been destroyed and the pilots killed, injured, captured"[1].

So now, almost 40 years on, how do you think the A-10 will stand?

> Dumping/delegating mundane tasks onto a high income earner doesn't jive with common sense

From the article: "Caring for your child, therefore, produces not only a strong bond but a neurochemical reward, inducing feelings of happiness, contentment and warmth"

I suspect that some of the "mundane tasks" you have in mind are exactly the ones that produce this bond - like changing a diaper when you hear your baby crying at night. That's probably difficult if you're using earplugs, and I guess such tasks might not make sense for some high income earners, though.
It's a little bit different when the person had taken up arms against the nation, no?

Should they get a court hearing? Probably. Is that practical, in some cases, if the person could be apprehended. Otherwise it would just be a pony show with a predetermined outcome, making no difference.
Let's first get everyone on an even playing field. 40 hours is a laughable suggestion to many workers right now. If you could promise every worker that they have to work 40 hours a week for the rest of their life but that OT was forever banned after, I don't think you'd hear many complaints ever again.
Apple has filed more inter partes review petitions than any other company since the process came available a few years back. IPRs are very expensive for a patent owner to defend (low- to mid-six figures) so from the patent owner perspective Apple definitely fits the description of warmonger.

Of course, if you think these patents are junk that never should have issued, Apple is doing God’s work.

My first two links are indeed about transcription! Rereading my comment in context now I'm realizing it was a bit unclear. I was responding to "the genetic code is rarely discussed as a potential source of error".

However, I believe my third link is about environmental stress triggering intentional mistranslation (mRNA to protein). From that paper's figure 3:

> Proteins arising from “statistical proteomes” have various folding and binding properties, resulting in phenotypic diversity in the host organism.

I haven't bothered to pull up the related references (5 obvious ones) to assess their strength though.

The papers you linked seem to be claiming that codon encoding preferences (which vary by gene category) are in fact due to (or merely correlated with?) GC content in mammalian genomes (as opposed to a number of other previously proposed mechanisms). This is surprising because individual tRNA abundance varies by cell state and type, so that would have been the obvious (but apparently wrong) explanation. It's doubly surprising because a number of single celled organisms utilize the mismatch between codon preference and tRNA availability in order to regulate protein translation, but these papers are claiming that's not a significant factor in mammals.

My guess is autocorrect for "slave labor"
Exactly.. what a smart candidate does is spend their next dollar on whatever is the best bang for the buck in getting elected. So an NPV would mean figuring out where the undecided voters are, nation-wide, and figuring out the cheapest ones to go after first, and working your way up the low-hanging fruit.

If it was much cheaper to convince undecided voters in urban areas, they’d go there first... but the competition among candidates spending would start to drive up the cost per voter to an equilibrium where it started to make sense to go to rural areas, and if that started to drive prices up, maybe next is suburban. But it’s everywhere, all over the country, appealing to everybody as effectively as you can, to win. And since the president affects everybody, it only seems right they should be elected by 1 person, 1 vote, across all citizens.
Probably slave labor typo + autocorrect
Auto-correct of slave, I imagine. Unless we believe in ancient aliens.
> Setting aside the question of what exactly "undefined behavior" means, why does a language spec have to include it? If there is behavior that cannot be defined, why not just omit it from the standard?

The original reason was that there were things they didn't want to define. For example, signed integer overflow works differently on different hardware architectures. If they defined one behavior in the standard then compilers for architectures that didn't do it that way would have to do something inefficient to make it work the way the standard says it should rather than the way that hardware actually does it.

Calling it "undefined behavior" lets the compiler do whatever the hardware does even if that means the program produces different results on different architectures. It also means that if some new architecture comes out that does it slightly differently, nobody can be surprised when compilers use the native overflow behavior for that architecture.

The flaw was in giving compilers too much discretion. They were generally expected to implement one of the sane versions of signed integer overflow, and specifically the one corresponding to the relevant hardware architecture, but according to the spec they can literally do whatever they want. So we get this:

https://kristerw.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-undefined-signed-o...

x + c < x -> false

Which means you can't use that to check whether signed overflow occurred even when you know the underlying hardware behavior, because if it did occur you've already invoked UB and the compiler is allowed to do anything, including omit your check, which it does.

What would help a bit is if compilers are going to do something like this, they emitted a warning something like "comparison is always false because signed integer overflow is undefined."

What would help even more is for the next version of the standard to convert a lot of this undefined behavior into implementation-defined behavior or similar, which still allows for hardware-specific implementations but requires them to be documented and prevents a lot of this unintuitive ex post facto "optimization" that causes more trouble than it's worth.

I didn’t come up with that definition of poverty, it is the definition used by UNICEF,
UNDP (The United Nations Children's Fund) and the OECD.

And there certainly is discussion about that definition, but other poverty definitions also fail to capture certain aspects of poverty (e.g. the World Bank’s poverty line).

It isn’t status, when bith of your parents work full time and you still don’t get to eat on the last days of the week. That is poverty.

You’re projecting “shade thrown”.

People might be interested in what Scrum is. I know I am. That’s why I pointed out the error. It was a shock to me to learn I wasn’t doing anything close.

Readers can do with the info what they want.

I’m not sure if I can say the same of your comment. You seem to be trying to make me feel bad for commenting? Or accusing me of hawking pointless info for consulting fees? I really can’t tell.
> some Seventh-Day Adventists apparently see the Catholic church as the "Whore of Babylon"

That’s probably not too far off. My impression is that the Hebrew Bible was written by nomadic shepherds who despised cosmopolitan city-dwellers who they thought had loose morals. And similarly for the authors of the New Testament, who despised the Roman Empire of the day (“Babylon” here is thought to be a stand-in for Rome).

It is quite ironic that this became the holy teaching of the state religion of the Roman Empire a few centuries later.

(Disclaimer: I am not a religious person and am by no means an expert on the Bible.)
I invite you to try getting a mate or date while being a poor man in north america and see how it effects your mental and physical health.

I worked at a YC startup. I was employee #35-40, the company got bought out, I made about $80k from my options over 4 years, two cofounders probably made at least $50M each.

Overall, it wasn't worth it. To make life changing amount, you need to join a company where the market cap goes to $10B+, but even then a Google employee probably would make more overall and with greater reliability than most startups.
Something not touched on in the video or description but I think is worthwhile.

The greatest failing in my math education is that it didn't give me the "keys to the kingdom" in other words, it didn't teach me how to conceptualize problems and really dig into literature to further my understanding on topics as they come up.

Contrast that with my signal processing courses, which were very much focused on concepts, conventions, notation, and best practice to provide a ground work for future study.

And working in the signal processing field, it was easy for me to dig into literature as I researched problems up until my math skills failed and I had to teach myself a lot of what my grades showed I had learned in college. Linear algebra in particular.

So when I see something like a course that will teach me about orthagonality, linear systems, SVD and eigenvalues I want to back it. But only if it's the kind of content that will tell me what those things are and how to read about them and understand them, not more rote memorization of how to work a problem set.

Just my two cents.

Is it possible that Tesla is driving down the cost curve faster than any other electric vehicle manufacturer, and once they hit a tipping point, they will disrupt the entire automotive industry and be worth 10x their current price? I may not believe Musk’s self driving car vision is attainable in the gritty real world in under 10 years, so I’ll discount that... but driving down battery cost, while making a better electric vehicle than Audi/Mercedes/Porsche.. that’s exciting.
Exactly, I wonder how many people even know of this. From what I've seen following a few youtubers, most of them request that you contact them through Twitter or Instragram DMs.

Very interesting idea though. But all of this fathering thing is related with continue one's bloodline I guess. Humans are very motivated to maintain their lineage. Adopting pets may be related with another topic.
I guess the reason this is getting downvoted is because there isn't sufficient information in the comment. It's true, however.

I find this is rampant in the Node community - For any small feature, rather than making a PR or suggesting changes to the original module (maybe via an option), the goal is to create a new library.

I feel what the Node community doesn't realize is that this creates a dependency hell where I can't run my programs which were running a week back, by pulling in the latest libraries.

Another example I came across recently was redux-thunk[0], which is used practically wherever redux is used. All it does is add a callback!

This is entire code of redux-thunk library!

function createThunkMiddleware(extraArgument) {
return ({ dispatch, getState }) => next => action => {
if (typeof action === 'function') {
return action(dispatch, getState, extraArgument);
}

return next(action);
};
}

const thunk = createThunkMiddleware();
thunk.withExtraArgument = createThunkMiddleware;

export default thunk;

Really nothing surprising here. I think this is more about being able to point a finger and say, “we told you how to take care of it,” when people inevitably ruin the thing.
It's short for "Information Technology", which is what these companies used to be called and illuminates the whole "scale" factor that has come to dominate discussions about what distinguishes them.
We already have a problem with politicians getting the majority of their donations from people out of their district and even have very low approval ratings in their district.

Something needs to be done to ensure all districts are equally represented and the representatives work for their constituents, not benefactors from out of state.

Not sure what rubbed you the wrong way, these are just questions I have as I read about this topic for the first time, trying to understand the controversy here. I'm not going to have reams of citations for you. If you have citations to throw at me feel free, but from what I can see, reliable medical bodies consider this to be a misdiagnosis at best.
Fast and light on resources isn't the same thing: a GPU-accelerated GUI toolkit is going to be bigger than a full software one, but also much faster on modern hardware.
And I invite you to ask yourself why UNICEF uses “my” definition.

I nowhere said that I don’t see that definition without problems or that I wholeheartedly stand behind it. Another definition used by the World Bank is the poverty line, which fails to capture other aspects of poverty (e.g. two parents with full time jobs unable to pay the rent in a rich society).

The definitions of poverty are a huge topic in sociology and economy and if you feel they misrepresent reality, go ahead and make a better one.
question—can’t a government actor like china just watch the record for where it points to and just filter that address? doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of this uncensorability?

I recently experienced this with a specific work-related task, where I was shocked to find myself enjoying doing something that I usually hate. When I asked myself what the difference was, the only thing I could come up with was that during this particular run-through, it was the only time that I wasn't rushing through the task while thinking about what came next.

Any additional insight into what's going on here? I'd love to wield this power to help myself love other things that I hate.
Exactly as you said.
#2 and #3 make the consequence of doing such protest/riot to zero, then #4 punish police force because of they enforcing the law

These would make next protest cost down to zero, and demoralized police hands will be tied to response. This is destroying HK's justice system and legislation system by encouraging solving the interest conflict in the street, because protests could solve the problem can't be solved in the court/Legco, and taking no or minor responsibility. This mobocracy.

Even the gov made compromises under the table, they wouldn't claim they accepted them.

And there is no leader of protesters, which means even 5 demands are accepted, there could be another group demands for next 5. And asking them in the air instead of asking negotiating on the table, non-negotiable acceptance with no trade-off, all these don't look like protester are truly seeking for talk or solution, or they were designed not to do so.
Sure, but that's why it's optional.

The point is if it were open it could do that and then it'd be a general purpose computer.

People were justifying locked down smartphones by saying they're not GP computers.

Factually, if they were open, they could be GP computers. The only reason they aren't is because they are locked in the first place! That justification for locking phones is based on a consequence of them being locked, so it doesn't make sense.

That's the difference it makes.
It does matter because a company's valuation is driven by EBIDA and multiple, both of which depend on the type of business (e.g. SaaS, Cloud Services, Real Estate etc). In fact, Amazon's valuation jumped significantly starting 2015 primarily because of AWS, which is a pure tech play, not so much by its retail business. (In 2015 Amazon started reporting AWS revenue and margins)
Sorry for that, it was entirely unnecessary — as you rightly noticed I read something into the comment that wasn’t there.
