Well for any region that becomes independent via legal means in a fashion well-documented by international observers as being legitimate, then they'll consider allowing them to join the EU just as they would for any other country?

Just because there's a Cornish separatist movement doesn't mean the EU is worried about the implications of an independent Cornwall.
You said "mates". It's normal if everyone else is doing it.
Oh boy, try looking outside America. The US is still the shining example of how to do things. Most of the world, even in Europe, are decades behind.
I don't see silicone anywhere on that list :)
The border is an imaginary line.
It's funny because they even avoid Olivença, which is De Facto in Spanish side of the border but is disputed.

It is interesting that creating a healthy bar with 'No B.S.' seemed to be motivated entirely by money, no idealism, no concern for public health, etc. He was totally willing to sell to a massive corporation that will almost certainly dilute his product to save cash and his main concern around that seemed to be 'but what will I do now?'.

Maybe his life doesn't seem empty now that he has money, maybe it has always been empty.
Hi, I did the coding challenge but no one got back to me.

If that's an issue, I bet the Rust community is interested in making it easier and better supported.
Education won't fix America.

Nick Hanauer, of Second Ave. Partners, goes into some depth as to why [0], but his thesis is along Piketty's:

Sure, education is a part of the solution, but as biologists say: it is necessary but not sufficient.

Ideally they would be one and the same, but the short answers is because more even distribution of money and power in a society is a good in itself (from my point of view). And because large amounts of wealth in the hands of small individuals is useless and even bad.
It is also a Trojan horse sent by the Chinese government to test how gullible users are to surveillance.
Extreme wealth inequality has historically led to social instability, so there’s that.

Agreed. Amazon is really experimenting recently with new form factors. It could be really exciting if there was a non-flagship phone from them in the future. What they should double down on is also making the Alexa experience the best.
Paper is an amazing technology.

Were I king, I'd massively fund R&D to bring new sources of fiber to market. Make them competitive with wood pulp.

Hemp, bamboo, sugar cane, feed corn. Maybe even invasive (noxious) weeds like kudzu. Two birds, one stone.

Extra credit for non till harvesting techniques. Just mow those hemp fields. Then do it all again in three months.
The old factory-oriented way of looking at capitalism is growing ever more obsolete. The newer companies grow by hoarding and controlling de-facto standards, and by selling customers' personal details to slimebags. They are essentially rewarded for evil. If you reward people for evil you get MORE evil.

Why is nobody successfully competing against FaceBook? Is it because everyone has a low IQ except FaceBook? No, it's the Network Effect: you can't get sufficient customers to compete until you get sufficient customers, creating a Catch-22.

Real work and real competition is missing from Big Tech. I'm all for rewarding those who build better mousetraps, but not those who keep others out of the mousetrap business and put the mouse meat into your burger without telling you.
I use my Surface with a pen running OneNote as a notebook quite a bit. The main use case for me is as my notebook in Farsi classes but I think it would work well in most classroom situations where you want to take freeform digital notes and perhaps mix them with sketches. When using it as a notebook the keyboard is folded away and having a second screen could be useful, the most obvious use case to me is having reference material on one screen while making notes on the other.

The nice thing about the Surface is that you can use it as a full Windows laptop as well and with the keyboard add on it looks like the Neo should work for that as well. Given these devices are quite expensive but also very portable it's nice to have that all in one functionality, particularly when taking short work trips.
Both are questions.

That's not true? The "traditional" essay begins with a topic paragraph and a thesis statement, with later paragraphs supporting that assertion.

Only new-form, gotta-read-to-the-end journalism hides the interesting lede at the end.
This is a logical standpoint but also a naive one because it ignores China's end goal of erasing democracy and the silent means by which they have already started succeeding. This has been covered by numerous China experts over the years but largely ignored due to internal US corruption, which is not helped by bribery on the part of the CCP. In a vacuum, growing their economy could be seen as a good thing for the global economy but the reality is that by investing and empowering the CCP is actually strengthening their grip on breaking down democracies - which will actually be worse off for the world economy. Remember that most people are not looking for the demise of Chinese people, rather they are looking for an end to the CCP dynasty.
No... these engines would still produce a very visible infrared signature from the exhaust gases. The Tic Tac ufo from what we understand had essentially zero IR signature.

Right, that's their point: game, elk/deer/moose, will avoid areas where there are active hunters and seem to have a sixth sense about where those boundaries are, for instance retreating to game preserves on the first day of the hunting season for similar reasons to why the vultures respect borders (prey vs. predators)
You definitely can not say the same about Canada geese :)

It's not possible to overstate just how big of a debacle this has become. When the S-1 came out everyone at work was shocked at just how bad it read.

The self dealing, the premature cashing out, the 20-1 super voting shares, the CEO's wife getting to name a successor when he dies.

The day the S-1 came out, almost all of wall street realized there would never be an IPO this year.

> > If you want to talk about real toll here — the real toll is that there’s somewhere between 5,000 and 15,000 WeWork employees who took a job and a big part of their compensation — the reason they took these jobs was because of equity value. And it’s impossible not to count your money 30 days out from an IPO. It’s impossible to tell your husband to not start looking at houses. It’s impossible not to tell your parents, “Let’s think about going on a family cruise together.” It’s impossible not to start thinking that you can afford that new car. $47 billion? We’re probably talking about several thousand people who were going to be millionaires. Now most of them are probably thinking that in the next 30 days there’s a one-in-two chance I don’t have health insurance.

This really puts things into perspective. The whiplash that the employees of WeWork have just experienced must have taken an incredible toll on them.
And what happens if your time-estimates are wrong; or unbounded?

You have two tasks (one Urgent, one Important) and 10 days at your disposal.

If each task takes at least 4 days, which one do you do first?

> But the point is that when adding a task to your to-do list you don't yet necessarily know what that future context will be.

I am not talking about pushing tasks on the queue. I am taking about popping them off the queue.

If you don't know how long a particular task takes how do you decide whether to pop a task off your Urgent or Important queue?

Just-in-Time prioritisation under uncertainty is hard.

I did not expect to read the whole thing through but I guess I just did.

It's fascinating the inner struggle of someone so successful yet who still feels the need to find something bigger to accomplish, a higher mountain to climb.

I feel for him, since life is not easy for most of us and he purposefully tries to make it harder for him. But I also think, that the meaning he so desperately wants can come from other things than just building bigger companies with bigger stakes. There's always a bigger stage play, a bigger house to build or company to create.

For me art is quite enjoyable, as there are no specific limits to your proficiency or rules to play by (well there are some very good guidelines). It just is what it is to amuse you, make the time go a little faster and perhaps amuse other people too. Or friends, children and family in general, relationships that aren't bound by status or money but by mutual enjoyment of each other's company.

Maybe what Peter needs to do is just go away for a while and travel the world, and find out what it actually means to be human in broader sense. Just put everything on hold and go somewhere, with a fake name if you must and just hang out with random people and experience their reality for a while. It isn't the end-goal to have "made something" but the trip to get there, even if it sounds like a cliche. I'm sure he could too find something satisfying that isn't just building companies. Or maybe I'm wrong, as I've never met the guy and don't know him personally. And building a more meaningful and successful company must sound like fun too. It's just that is not all that there is.
It might be useful if there was a decent mobile OS that ran on it and also had an overlapping window manager.

Honestly the OS is way more interesting than the hardware.
I've not studied the documentation in detail, but MySQL looks pretty good here. It allows partitioning on a generated column, and Postgres currently does not.
It's interesting to see Apple doing the opposite these days. In the consumer facing keynote the meticulously separate Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and TV with the capabilities and apps that run on each.

Then they have their dev keynote where they explain how these apps are really all based on shared technology and can all be made using the same new frameworks and then released to each app store for users.
“That’s one of the problems he seems to be grappling with: more money, generally, means less struggle, and if it’s struggle that made him, how does he find that going forward?”
I built one of these to get more experience with FadeCandy (a small board that will drive 8 x 64 neopixels).

I ended up building a 64x64 (4096 or 4K) display that did 30FPS, you could drive it with all sorts of different things including scraping screen pixels or sending a webcam output to it.

It consumed a bunch of power (500W) and was a bit clunky but a friend rebuilt it and I think it made it to burning man this year (and came back too dusty to use).
Genuine question, do placebos "work" for any non-subjective effect? Obviously if I give you a placebo painkiller you might venture "I guess it hurts a little less", but if I give you placebo blood pressure medication does your blood pressure actually go down, even a little? Do placebo antibiotics fight infection?

If not, it sounds like a reporting issue and not any kind of exploitable effect distinct from convincing someone to cheer up a bit.
C++?

Releasing Paws and Paws-X: Two New Datasets to Improve Natural Language
The author makes an unvalidated assumption that the users of this service care MOST about bandwidth efficiency.

I suspect that users care more about a service that works reliably. An extra 50-100k every 5 minutes (assuming the user keeps their mobile browser open during this time) does not seem like it would be problematic.

Ironically, the alternatives he proposes make the service LESS reliable, since many users may be behind firewalls that block WebSockets, HTTP streaming, etc.

HTTP polling works for a larger percentage of users and can be scaled horizontally more easily than these other methods during high-volume spikes like the World Cup.

In short, I think Google made the right tradeoff between dumb, boring, accessible vs. clever, complex. Especially for a product that probably doesn’t meet the threshold for investing in a more sophisticated architecture.
Strangely enough I have no issues doing this with Windows 10, but always have issues with my MBP! Occasionally it even crashes when I plug in external monitors.
Rust is build around the expectation that allocations happen automatically and can never fail. I’m curious to see how they deal with this in a kernel...
10% sales tax, and a couple percent property tax on a $500k-1mm home (in CA) moves that threshold a lot, lot lower.

The difficulty is not banning, the difficulty is detecting. Nobody indicates that their product has lead - it's found through inspections and once you found it you would be utterly stupid not to take the known-to-be-harmful product fully from the market.
It's a big Opportunity Cost because if people aren't mutually learning from each other then they are most likely just treading water skills-wise. You know, the whole "5 years of experience -vs- the same year repeated 5 times" thing.

This kind of culture pretty much sucks and in my experience comes from the manager's conception of the software development process being akin to handing out individual long-running homework assignments. If someone is so out of touch that they literally do not know that deep collaboration in software development is even possible, then of course they will not promote it.

Anyone unhappy with the culture has a duty to put some effort into improving things, but if the total number of people who actually care is low...
Your distinction is not meaningful. It's like saying that TLS isn't secured because one day someone may crack it. Everything is/was secure up until the point that it isn't/wasn't.
Thanks for the info! I stand corrected
It would be nice if they did more than acknowledge it in the status page.

A blog post explaining what's going on would be nice, lessons learned, mitigation used, and maybe a quick apology. This has been $work impacting for us.

I agree hardware quad is more useful. The big int problem I was talking about would benefit from hardware quad but not hardware 128-bit ALU. The big int problem I have a bit of knowledge of is squaring for the Lucas-Lehmer algorithm to find huge primes (Mersenne primes). The best algorithm in this space is the IBDWT (irrational base discrete weighted transform). You perform an autoconvolution (compute the FFT, square each term in the frequency domain, and then take the IFFT). You want the FFT lengths to be as short as possible, since FFT is an O(N log N) algorithm. Quads would let you use shorter FFTs since you have more bits available for each element.

Even though it is a big int problem, floating point is used. Their are integer FFT algoritms that are usable (NTTs), but they are much slower than floating point FFTs on modern CPUs.

This is still my holy grail of computing device. I want a portable device (phone) that gives me a phone style interface when portable, but when docked, a desktop-like experience. Yes, there have been efforts, but I want this to be mainstream and well thought out.
I started programming professionally in 2015. I’ve tried all the “big name” GUI editors: Eclipse, IntelliJ, Sublime, Atom, Notepad++, VSCode. Now I use vim full time and I love it.

I grant that vim is not the most user friendly, but if you take the time to learn it it can do almost everything most IDEs do, including symbol based navigation, “fuzzy finding”, search-and-replace, etc. And that’s just native Vim — some plugins make these features completely comparable with (or better than!) IDEs.

I’m convinced that modal editing is the most efficient way to edit text, and vim’s biggest feature is how tightly integrated it is with the terminal. In a GUI editor, using a terminal means either using a subpar integrated terminal (like in VSCode) or switching over to my terminal emulator to run some commands and then switching back. Since I spend a lot of my time in the terminal, this is a big deal for me.
You're doing exactly what you wrongly accuse me of...

The original rebuttal was AMD gets less researcher eyeballs because there are more Intel devices in the wild so it's expected that Intel has more vulnerabilities found.

This was fully correct, yet the GP and you apparently are fixated on the idea that AMD didn't have certain vulnerabilities that were originally found _by studying Intel CPUs_. Yet no big surprise most don't apply to AMD in that case... because they were found by studying Intel CPUs first.
That's on IIRC the Earth 2 in its very early existence and Arthur and Ford start pulling scrabble letters from the bag...

I guess it has a few million years to run to resolve to the correct question. :)

Presumably the mice would then require a third supercomputer to tell them why this is the most important question of life, the universe, and - you know - everything.
That is what makes ambitious people successful. They always want more and never stop wanting more.

I use these. While theoretically they can attract pests, I've never noticed any biological activity associated with them.
That seems like a partial mis-characterization - he did insist that the buyer keep the company as an independent unit and retain all the employees, which is about as much as you can do when you’re selling. And he was likely tired and burning out as well - better to sell than run it to the ground or wait till someone else kills you off.

That said, he does seem to have been hustling from a young age, so why not? Could have just as easily been a new department store chain or movie theatre chain that he started instead, and we wouldn’t think he had “no idealism, no concern for public health”. Why the negativity for a food company?
I wish it was easier for regular programmers to use advanced SQL features...

It's a fundamentally different way of thinking.

With imperative programming, the mindset is: "I have this certain outcome in mind. What is the sequence of steps I need to take to make it happen?"

In a relational database, the mindset you need to be in is: "How can I define the relational structure of my world (i.e. my data) so that I can get the outcomes I want - and end up saving a great deal of imperative programming effort in the longer run?"

Quite different. And yes, it takes a while to get used to.
Personally, I felt the novels worked better than the series, at least for the original series. A lot of great jokes were invented after the series. Sometimes a joke on the radio seems unfinished, as if he didn't really know how his own joke worked until afterwards. (Or maybe he had it right all along but it didn't get into the script. He was famously late with his assignments.)

The second series in particular didn't seem to work very well. He never translated the Lintilla plotline into the novels, and I feel that's for the best.

The actors, of course, were brilliant, and the Radiophonic Workshop production was amazing. I've really enjoyed the way they resumed the series, and you'd hardly know there was a two decade gap between series 2 and 3. I can definitely understand being in love with it. But as a matter of taste, I feel like the book versions of the first two series (the ones where the show preceded the novel) were actually better.

Rust, the language, strictly speaking, knows nothing about allocation at all.

The standard library assumes infallible allocation currently. Kernels generally do not use the standard library.

(Okay, STRICTLY speaking there’s a hack for Box<T> in the language right now but it’s not about the allocation part and Box<T> is technically defined in the standard library with Magic(tm) and so isn’t relevant in an OS dev context, as you won’t use the standard library and therefore Box<T>. Rust-the-language never implicitly inserts heap allocations, including Box<T>, anywhere.)
There's tons of demand in a lot of hot areas (such as bay area and NY) in the "low end" range of $1m (I know right). Just look at redfin in these areas. Anything reasonably nice under $1m is a hot home.

There's too many things working against the high end: higher property taxes, lower tax incentives (SALT reduction), and higher interest rates.
Ah yes, Amtrack is an amazing experience compared to the European passenger rail network.

US housing also extremely efficient for filtering unwanted people out of populated areas. Europeans could stand to learn a thing or two from that (although I've heard London is doing a good job of emulating us.)
Are you trapped in the 1940s Soviet Union? Here in the present day, the vast majority of people have the option to live in low COL areas and work part time and yet most people don't choose to do this. That's not because 'The System' is keeping them down, it is because they prefer to trade more time for more money, stuff, and security.
