I haven't yet read this and won't until after work but I did click through and notice it didn't mention subitizing.

Subitizing is pretty cool and it's the name for how you can look at items and instantly know how many there are if it's less than some small number (approximately 5 iirc).

Here's a wiki article on it for anyone interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subitizing
If those church members, as here, received large sums of money from the pastor? Or supported him publicly? 100% yes.

I think it's especially obvious with churches. When a bunch of people get together to fund and empower a guy, they share responsibility for what is done with that power. If that power is used to harm, a factual accounting of who did what seems entirely fair, as does asking them what they have to say for themselves.

Your analogy isn't very good, though, because all of the people mentioned in this article are public figures. They sought out prominent roles in society. They receive significant benefits from the public, either directly or indirectly.
is anyone doing this on windows? this looks really cool and useful.
I think you've hit on an opt-in usage case.

Much like the opt-in feature "Will you allow [website] to access your location?", there could be a "Will you allow [website] to operate in the background?" I think that is something that the community could get behind.
Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc, won't feel it, but little independent small 99c/dollar store businesses will.
You conveniently forgot to list the costs of storage from the source you linked. The costs range from $108-$471 for utility scale storage. So nuclear is the clear winner in cost because it doesn't require this.
When the light bounces off of the target surface it scatters. The light which bounces back to the sensor array has time offsets depending on the geometry of the scene, those can be modeled as curves.

Similar (in that it's the inverse case) to a bucket of water, if you drop something in it, it creates rippled waves. If you only observe the ripples in the bucket, you can reasonably derive where the thing was likely dropped.
What’s the Matter with Baseball?
Of course–the implementation is free to do whatever it likes. But all reasonable ones will either use a three pointer (or some combination of a base pointer and pointers/integers representation bounds) or include a small buffer for SSO that overlaps with the storage for heap bounds.
If I had a coffee shop, and people were justing taking the coffee without paying for it, yeah, I could probably think of another income stream, like charging for WiFi. But just because I COULD think of another way to make money doesn't mean that I shouldn't be allowed to get paid for the coffee, just because some folks think coffee should be free.
What's fun is that it's even the default on Windows Server systems. Why I'm forced to watch CSS animations on msn.com over an RPD session instead of defaulting to about:blank, I'll never know.
I know you mean well, but this is a gendered comment that doesn't really add to the conversation of how great the OP link is.

Consider how you might write your comment if the sex of the OP was male - would you make the same statement?

> that's not really OK.

This kind of word policing is even less OK. It's not "gross" to make a comment about something you see and have opinions about, especially for a public figure. You're not shedding light on any subject, either, all you're doing is being offended-on-behalf of someone else; the world's got enough of that and it doesn't seem to be making any positive difference at all.

How about early internet cost?

Poland was the first Central European Soviet block country connected to the internet. In 1990 a link was established between Warsaw University and BITNET/EARN (European Academic Research Network) node in Denmark Lyngby using newly laid Baltic fiber-optic cable. PLEARN <-> DKEARN, whooping 9600 bps IBM RSCS based mail/newsgroup exchange. Finally two years later in 1992 it got upgraded with several additional 64 kbps TCP/IP links (Stockholm, Vienna, BGP!), and at the same time very first ISP, POLPAK, started offering commercial access. Cost: $15/month + $.3/minute + $5/megabyte.
Without context you don't know what that means. That could be outsourced art from a cheaper country totaling less than 100k.

I've been dabbling on an RSS feed reader of my own for a while now, which sorts all posts by their published date. Do you know how I can get the people over at Hacker Noon to add a <pubDate> element to their RSS feed? I'v tried here: https://community.hackernoon.com/t/rss-doesnt-have-pubdate/1...

So ISO A1 then. I plugged in something like 24x33x5 as well as the Amazon A1 size (which is smaller) and got the same price range but with additional options for the smaller (Amazon A1) sized package. At that size, the weight is the determining factor at USPS (at least based on the rates I've seen) even though 24x33 is still considered an oversized package.

OTOH if you want to ship it express (Global Express Guaranteed — GXG in USPS speak) that comes out to around $265 (less if you pay online) and not all post offices will take GXG packages. $60 to $265 is the difference between a 1-3 business day expected delivery time and 6-10 business days.

Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure (DPKI): What Is It; Why Does It Matter?
My comment within this thread communicates my belief that batteries will get cheaper faster than nuclear (solar and wind are fast approaching 1 cent/kwh; as that cost continues to decline storage will be the bulk of the cost of utility power). If you think I'm wrong, invest in nuclear. If nuclear was a clear winner, it would be funded and built. But it seems there are better ways to replace the last 100GW of US nuclear generating capacity, based on market participant actions.

What about desktop apps? Every Win32 app has permissions to view and edit all the user's files and data, arbitrarily snoop on and hook into other processes running as the user, etc. The situation on Mac and Linux for most users is similar, except for sandboxed Mac App Store apps.

On Windows there is a modern app model (UWP) that provides for app isolation and more granular permissions but the push to get software moved over to it seems to have stalled.
I did exactly this with a rails project once, called render_to_string on each page I was interested in and saved them as HTML files. The wget method is clever but I agree, working within the same system makes the most sense.
Steel can be produced using hydrogen. This plays extremely well with renewables and storing energy. Produce hydrogen from electricity when energy is cheap (sun + wind), don’t do that when its expensive.

> The US doesn't manufacture those items because it's cheaper to have them shipped from China. Raise the cost of manufacturing them there and importing them, and the balance changes.

The US doesn't manufacture those items because it has no capability to do so.

There are no factories, no supply chain, no expertise and no known how.

There are some things that are cheaper to manufacture in US, (surprise!) if you manufacture for the local market, than in China, but them being simply cheaper still doesn't mean you can actually manufacture them.

I myself tried to setup an electric scooter factory, first in Canada, and than in Washington state. We were simply unable to find even moderately competent manufacturing engineers, nor the line workforce.

Of course, every consumable and every part had to be imported.

And both of the above meant that we decided to close the business in under 6 months.
> Making steel and other materials—such as cement, plastic, glass, aluminum, and paper—is the third biggest contributor of greenhouse gases, behind agriculture and making electricity

While I agree in broad terms that eliminating greenhouse gases in the materials sector is important medium-term, I agree with other posters here that we need to focus hard on implementing solutions we DO have now - specifically, in the electricity and transportation sectors.

> these materials are everywhere in our lives, and we don’t yet have any proven breakthroughs that will give us affordable zero-carbon versions of them

This is at least partially misleading - for aluminum. There are a number of hydroelectric-powered aluminum smelters in Quebec and British Columbia, that produce very-low-carbon aluminum. And there are technologies approaching market for zero-carbon aluminum[1].

>It's not even remotely controversial when I've seen it done, like downtown streets in Boston made pedestrian only. The vast majority of people (who are on foot) love it.

Those roads are not anywhere that anyone was formerly commuting through though and were already well served by mass transit (they're basically underneath the intersection of all the main subway lines.

The entire Boston area transit network (including road, light rail and heavy rail) is what you get when you write your master plan on a deck of cards, shuffle it and then flush it down the toilet. They should have stuck with their road and rail plans from the 1940s. 695 should exist (that would solve a lot of the commuter traffic east of I95) though they probably would have buried it by now like they did with the rest of the highway. Orange line should run all the way from 128 in the north to 128 in the south (where there would probably be massive park and rides). The North/South station connector should exist. Etc. etc. If they had just followed their own damn plan they could make the dense parts of Boston/Camb more pedestrian friendly and generally have more freedom to do "good urban transit" type things because you wouldn't have surface roads functioning as major arteries that you can't interrupt.

Boston is an example of good urban transit only so far as it was lucky enough to be a big enough city back in the day when big projects got done that it consequently has a subway. The rest of the region is a dumpster fire of things that were supposed to interconnect but don't.
Yes, the website starts to build slower with growing number of pages. I'm using Metalsmith static site generator for https://www.visualwatermark.com/ The website currently have about 400 pages and it takes 60-70 seconds to build it. Part of the problem is Metalsmith itself - the code in some parts is awful. I had to make some changes to make it work faster. Unfortunately, it's impossible to solve the underlying problem - you have to build the whole website at once, while WordPress builds pages on-demand.

Also static generators aren't as convenient as WordPress is. I'm OK working with markdown or hacking the code, but it's too difficult for my wife, for example. So, she's running a WordPress blog.

Commenting is also better on WordPress. She used to use Discuss for commenting and people are more to reluctant leave Discuss comments than to leave WordPress comments. I believe that's because you don't have to register to leave a comment in WordPress - just type your email and you're ready to go.
I would think minerals would not be readily absorbed without stomach acid from a meal.
Take a good look at the screenshots in that link. It's a completely generic database -- you fill in some search fields and some data is returned, you can do a join, and then you can plop that data into a chart. Palantir isn't out there collecting data on citizens or scanning license plates or anything else I would consider "mass surveillance".
Nobody did use them though. They belong in an extension, it's the perfect use case. Pick any of the hundreds. Like this great one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/

I've experimented with fasting and weightlifting and I want to share some thoughts.

First, fasting does not require that your overall calorie intake is reduced. If your cut-goal is 2000kcal per day, you can fast in the morning and eat all 2000kcal in the afternoon. Ultimately, I find this is actually an easier and less hunger-inducing way to each your cutting goals.

Second, you're right. Doing weightlifting while fasted is hard. It's better to coordinate your gym schedule with your eating schedule so that you can eat -- I like a simple protein shake -- before and after the gym.

Third, I'm seeing a lot of folks talking about intermittent fasting ("IF") and day-long fasting in the same breath. I think IF is great for weightlifters on a cut diet. But I think day-long or multi-day fasts are different and should only be done occasionally (weekly being the most frequent) if you are trying to progress with weightlifting. YMMV.

This guy is borderline fraud. Far from your typical scientist.

The way he plays people by distorting historical facts about personal encounters or other personal events.

Example: He claims to know person x, which is correct, he may know person x. But often than not I have seen how he almost always puts in his sugar lies. Knows X and he knows why X did this or took this course of action.

All I can say, beware of this guy and his many anecdotes he shares about loving people that “he knows” or claims to know.

As an aside, a meal consisting of just this isn't very balanced. There is effectively 0 fats in it. Egg yolks are actually quite healthy and would have rounded this meal off nicely

Restitution to injured parties is available for the charges here on top of fines, and the DoJ has also included a non-specific criminal forfeiture allegation against any property used in, intended to be used in, or directly or indirectly derived from the charged offenses.

So if he made anything (or deprived anyone of any value) from his crimes, he could pay that back on top of the fines, potentially.
Well the train network in all of Switzerland is great. If I want to go skiing, I just hop on a train towards any ski resort and arrive within 1-2h. Wanna go hiking? Take the train. Wanna visit the French or Italian part of Switzerland? Take the train. Works very well and covers most out-of-town trips for me and most people I know. In those rare cases when I do need a car, I just get a rental or use car-sharing (for example when leaving Switzerland). Factoring in the train tickets and the rental car, my transport expenses are still significantly less than they would be if I owned a car.

That's actually part of espionage 101- pressuring a person through each little step on the ladder so that they can get all the way up to straight-up criminal behavior without ever doing anything that much worse than they did the week before.

I'm not saying this is an incident of espionage, just that espionage folks have recognized what you pointed out, and basically made it a step by step formal process.

There is clear discrimination in the world. If you were a black person in my southern state, where the schools were worse in minority (usually the same as poorer) areas, the treatment from the police is worse, when you go for a job in high school they won't hire you to be in a front facing job like a waiter because you are black, you would see it. So what do we do, ignore it, because some white guy gets their feelings hurt that we try to give these people help? We need to help them. If you argue we don't need to, then it just seems heartless, and probably you are in a position where this is invisible to you.

This is a really difficult problem, trying to help increase opportunity. We run into reverse racism of a kind, with today's "too many qualified Asians" (because they are good students) in Harvard problem where they are trying for a diverse student body, but what does diverse really mean? Before this there was similar descriptions of too many Jewish people at colleges (in the 1950s I have read). No one ever wanted more of my kind of person either (white guy, a single parent but middle class) in my whole career and life - yet I should also state most of my coworkers my whole life in tech have mostly been middle class white guys. My parents were not about to be able to donate a million bucks to Harvard so I could go, they didn't go there, and neither did I. If Harvard allowed the best prepared students to go there, then there would be more rich legacy white kids and more Asians.
I don't know about either of those.

That's absurd. It doesn't require artistic skills, all it require is trusting them to do a good job. There's plenty of ways to confirms they are good at what they do.

The thing is, he can do better art with his budget, he just don't want to and don't need to.

He said it himself multiple time that he don't want to invest time in that. He said it himself in this new post that his latest game was much longer to complete because he invested MONTHS in a new engine.

Graph Theory in the presence of modules and dependencies between modules.

Every thing in computing is modular and multiple levels of modules and has coupling and dependencies between modules.
