You certainly could, however I guarantee a huge majority of users wouldn't read a lick of what they were agreeing to.

This is not true at all. I think you might mean memory latency. Modern CPUs are primarily designed around memory latency.

Very few programs are limited by memory bandwidth. At that point you have done a good job of optimizing already.
One underrated way to be a 10x contributor is to mentor others to make 5-10 of your 1-2x self, not including the compounding benefits that accrue as those you mentored begin to do the same (having themselves realized the value of mentorship).
I think they will, especially once the battery gets slightly larger and chemistry gets further refined. 1000 equivalent cycles times 300 miles of range per cycle is 300,000 miles. Takes about 20 years to get there, so for commuter vehicles, will almost certainly want to replace by then.
Yes, although doing things without JS is old school web. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any clients that don't support JS in this era.

Anyway, to accomplish this you would split your styles into seperate CSS files and then have a drop-down that does an HTTP POST/GET to a server side script that will then set a cookie on your browser with your preferred choice.

Each time a request comes in from the client you just check that cookie for which style they want and then change the HTML that's sent to include a different stylesheet.

Huh, that's quite the contrary to my Mac Mini 2012 experience. My Raspberry Pi wasn't here yet and I wanted a web server.

Yea, Wifi didn't immediately work, but with some Googling you figure out how to find the right driver and use modprobe (or whatever it was) to load it in.

Another issue that could be avoided by using free software. Ideally D-Link would ship with free software so that the community can keep their gear working well. In practice something like OpenWRT may need to be installed by users, and depending on the hardware, support could be difficult.

If you're looking to be more careful in the future, I suggest only buying routers with OpenWRT support.

Take Galois proof of the insolvablity of the quintic. To understand it you first need to understand group theory and then field theory and obviously how these relate to the rational numbers and the ring of polynomials over the rationals. Next you need to understand field extensions and then you can start to make sense of galois groups. Then you need to understand the concept of solvability for groups and prove it’s equivalence for galois groups to solutions to polynomials. Then finally you need to demonstrate a polynomial of degree five whose corresponding galois group is unsolvable.

Now you can hand wave this and get a basic idea of it. But this is also undergraduate mathematics. The abstractions keep building on each other as you go and soon the easy way to explain it is still in terms of other abstractions. This is for instance why research papers in mathematics are impenetrable, because the requisite knowledge takes years to acquire.

What happens when we do it to them?

China is powerful, sure. But they aren't more powerful than the western world. We'll win that fight. (Well, by "win" I mean suffer less damages).

Western companies are also already pretty cut off from the Chinese market. Cutting them off even more so is unlikely to have as huge if an impact as people are predicting.

> It's worth putting up with bad working conditions in exchange for learning opportunities, but not for mere money.

Focusing overly on pleasing your manager reminds me of "penny wise, pound foolish". My experience matches his. If you want to rise within a company, then yes, please your manager. And if your manager is decent enough, your and your parent's approach are aligned. But all too often (and more often at larger companies), what is good for the manager is only good for you in the short term. A lot of managers want you to focus on the immediate needs, and do not value skills development, for example. I've seen managers where the path to promotion was to become really, really good with an in-house tool, and with in-house processes. Those who stuck to that job often tell me now that they have trouble finding any job outside because their experience was not valuable.
Sounds like a great consulting niche. It's a simple to understand value proposition and I imagine there is somebody powerful at many successful companies that would love to see the huge server cost line item go way down on their P&L.
maybe you shouldn't supply invalid comparisons in the first place. but if you do, crashing seems like an appropriate response
As a company grows, development becomes harder due to the need to interface with so many teams -- a feature that you used to be able to implement a couple days after a lunchtime discussion with your coworkers turns into a detailed design and design review, design revisions to prevent breaking functionality that other teams use, a revised design review and approval, security review and approval, and then finally implementation, but you find that in the 3 months since you started the design, the functionality you were planning on using was changed by yet another team and the affect on your feature was missed during that project's design review.

Plus, the problems you need to solve get more complicated, you have new compliance needs, paying customers are demanding new features that may require changes across your entire stack, performance is more of an issue (saving 3% of your compute costs didn't matter when you were paying $500/month for infrastructure, but saving 3% of 10 million dollars/month starts turning into real money) and writing and deploying software used by hundreds of millions of people is literally orders of magnitude harder than software a few million people use.
This is it. A friend who worked in the analytics team mentioned how everything is measured and taken into account when renovating and buying new buildings. Things like exposure to sunlight, time spent at a desk, etc. These analytics are offered to FB/Amazon/big-co along with office as a service.

But WeWork doesn't make any money. That is the problem. No matter how many smart engineers they hire, it is just adding additional cost, until they start to turn a profit.

I had a customer who refused to go to a second screen to add or edit customer transactions. They wanted one screen, dammit. So they got one screen. When a customer renewed their membership the user retyped the data on row two in row three, then row two in row one, and then added the new transaction to row one because that was "easier.". Mmmkay.

Oracle Linux works fine many cases, in fact I've never found significant differences between OEL, Centos, or Redhat. Under the covers there is the UEK variant (unbreakable kernel), but again, as a developer it hasn't mattered.

Ubuntu 19.04 offers a radically more well-designed GUI and superior overall user experience compared to all Centos derivatives, and all previous versions of Ubuntu I've used. I've yet to meet a single soul genuinely using OEL7 full time on their primary machine. It's always Ubuntu these days :)

> You expect applications to have access to your desktop?

Yes! That's what applications do, they read and write files. Most other software is, more likely than not, either a game or a web page.

Does every app need to access my desktop specifically? No. But if we're trying to protect "normal users", I don't think most of them have the wherewithal to think through "what exact locations does and doesn't app X need to access?"

> nearly everyone today has a smartphone that will run a 2FA app

What do they do when their smartphone dies? The phone company makes sure your new phone has the same phone number, but you lose 2FA tokens in apps.

And I have no idea where the recovery codes that I printed on paper are since I last moved.

> even users who don't have a smartphone would be better served by getting codes delivered to their email

But then isn't that just one factor instead of two factors, because both their password for the service and their email password are just "something you know"? I'm assuming if they have no cell phone, they don't have a second factor to secure their email either.
So you'd freeze the feature creep, but keep working on the set of features you listed? I think you answered your own question.

Cancer favoring glucose has been known for a very long time, this is called the Warburg Effect:

Interesting new pharmacology for sure, but the end of the article is critical here:

"Additionally, an accompanying commentary by William Katt and colleagues indicated that there are no FDA-approved drugs that target glucose and glutamine metabolism. This is because previous drug candidates proved to be too toxic for use in humans."

It's really hard to go after glucose because it's kind of everywhere. If there's a way to target this compound more specifically, maybe it could be useful. As it stands now, it's very very far from being a viable drug (and it doesn't sound like the authors claim otherwise). Cool science though.

I looked at his comment history and found 37 weeks ago that he says he only drank water and salt the first 30 days and added supplements the last 30 so I'm pretty sure he meant no calories. I also don't think that is a world record by any means. I found this site where someone they cite a 1972 NIH study of someone who fasted for 382 days but evidently I can't paste in this android client. Hunger strikes have definitely gone on for longer than 60 days. Water is essential but the body can subsist for a lot longer without food.
Looking at the feed you should see if it's possible to exclude any tweets that begin with "RT" (retweets) or the "@" (replies). This way only posts you write should show in the feed, would make it much cleaner as without the full conversation contexts those other messages make no sense.

The GitHub activity feed is pulling in every comment you make, see if you can filter that to only show pull requests you've created to showcase your work. Maybe also include commits to your own projects if the commit length is more than a certain number of characters to filter out the small updates.
> Scalia clearly lays this out, gives the proper English lesson, and explains why the amendment means precisely what it says.

I will reluctantly get into Scalia's "proper English lesson", but it's just ultra boring, big chunks of quoted text, and ends with him being wrong. But here we go anyway.

Scalia tries to show that 2A was meant to apply to all individual persons, not groups of people, not subsets of people, and certainly not just militias:

> What is more, in all six other provisions of the Constitution that mention “the people,” the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset. As we said in _United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez_: “ ‘[T]he people’ seems to have been a term of art employed in select parts of the Constitution… . [Its uses] sugges[t] that ‘the people’ protected by the Fourth Amendment , and by the First and Second Amendment s, and to whom rights and powers are reserved in the Ninth and Tenth Amendment s, refers to a class of persons who are part of a national community or who have otherwise developed sufficient connection with this country to be considered part of that community.”

> This contrasts markedly with the phrase “the militia” in the prefatory clause. As we will describe below, the “militia” in colonial America consisted of a subset of “the people”—those who were male, able bodied, and within a certain age range. Reading the Second Amendment as protecting only the right to “keep and bear Arms” in an organized militia therefore fits poorly with the operative clause’s description of the holder of that right as “the people.”

This is wrong. Constitutional rights didn't apply to women, children, immigrants, people of color, or Native Americans. If you disagree, consider that women largely weren't allowed to own property or attend school beyond a young age. When the Founders wrote "[pP]eople", they were not referring to all the people, so Scalia's argument that using "the militia" would inappropriately create a subset is wrong. "People" was already a subset, and the Founders were clearly aware.

That's his whole argument for 2A as an individual right.
