To be clear, bus throwing is most effective in two situations:

1) The executives-wrangling-for-a-role level. If three people want that sweet VP title, they're not just trying to show they're the best, they're also trying to show the other two people are not good for the role. Taking a promotion competitor and throwing them under the biggest bus possible is a great way to knock them out of the running. Chances are they're trying to do the same to you. (Note: at Big Cos, high-level promotions are at least as much about politics as about actual merit of work / competency).

2) The other person is a different part of the org entirely. For example if there's a project that's a joint effort between IT and Marketing and something goes wrong you better believe the ladder climbers are going to look for the biggest bus available to throw the other team lead under. It's an effective strategy because it's a responsibility avoidance tactic and, hey, screw those other guys because they never give you what you want anyway.

Please note I don't actually recommend people do these things unless they care more about career advancement at all costs than about actually building strong relationships, well-functioning teams, and general life happiness. The thing is, a lot of people prioritize the former, which I think is the whole impetus behind the article's title.

USA Today, FOX, CNN, *NBC are not sources of information. They are wings of power centers. It's best to think of them as perception managment platforms. If you read them, purely looking for things you can actually check, fine. But realize thay are not even remotely neutral and they lie just as much as the average political figure.

Real windows are not for public consumption. Skippy's email (32795) for example.
> If you're opposed to UBI on this basis, you equally ought to give up on anything redistributive (or maybe you were just right wing all along).

I never said I was opposed to UBI.

I'm simply highlighting an aspect of the housing market that makes it behave less like the libertarian ideal of a perfectly efficient market with perfect mobility and perfect information flow. In my experience, the right wingers are the ones who want to continue pretending that an obviously tilted market is somehow still acceptably efficient when it clearly isn't.

Do you disagree with my assertion that moving is more difficult than buying rice from the next vendor over? That's really the only claim I made, and this is what leads me to believe that landlords are more powerful than rice vendors.

Lots of people proposing "if you're worried about landlords, then you can simply do X" in this thread... I don't think the fix for this problem is going to be simple.
Stack Exchange as an organization might (somehow) be prohibited from releasing all of the background information that they have used for their decision making. But I am surprised that they haven't released any information, given the serious allegations made against them. And I haven't read anything corroborating Stack Exchange's "side" of the story, whereas a large number of people seem to be standing up for Monica.

I see three possibilities:
1. Monica telling the complete truth, there is a terrible misunderstanding, but SE doesn't want to lose face by backing down
2. Monica is lying
3. Monica is terribly confused

At this point, we all have to assume it's #1. If it's #2 or #3, SE really needs to come out and say something (beyond "we stand by our decision but our process needs updating") for the good of the communities. Stack Exchange is nothing without the community, since 100% of the content on SE was directly contributed by the community.

You'll probably see a spike in aftermarket ECU sales. Here's what I'm rocking in my Supra, for example:

Note that the paper claims that no matter how player A chooses the two numbers to write down, you can always guarantee >50% chance in guessing which one is the higher one after only looking at one of the numbers.
The reason this seems counter-intuitive is that the only information you're given is one of the numbers. You are not told anything about how the first player picked her numbers. Now, the reason why OP's code does not seem counter-intuitive to most is that it shows a quite different result. The OP assumed a specific distribution (which is a strong assumption, one the paper does not make) and found a strategy that yields > 50%.
Along with performance, there's probably other ABI issues and maybe even API extensions to the C library that just aren't present in these tiny implementations. You can work around the ABI stuff by recompiling with the new c library of course, but that won't work if you've got a closed source binary or if the software needs something not provided.
It is on the east coast. It doesn't always work, and it's a pretty crappy experience, but there isn't an alternative for moving that many people around the Northeast corridor.
I recently set up a friend's new Windows PC with both Acronis online backup service and Acronis TrueImage local backup (to a local USB drive). If one fails the other is there.

I chose Acronis b/c I had installed a local version years ago on his old PC and it ran flawlessly. When I updated to the new version of Acronis it found the old backup files with no problems. The software just works.

Whenever I visit I check his local backup drive status. Sometimes the USB drive light is turned off and I remind him to keep it on and check again before leaving (it immediately initiates a delayed backup). He gets emails notifying him when Acronis remote backups are completed.

Hope that's enough!8-))

I'm an old-fashioned UNIX/Linux text-based person, so my storage requirements are satisfied by a relatively small USB drive. Everything I need backed up is on the desktop. Backup takes only a few minutes. Vita brevis, carpe diem.
What makes (high-speed or normal-speed) rail a success is a population density. A train moves a lot of people, that's its point. For it to work, these people need to work close to it, and move along it often.

Passenger railways make sense in places where one metropolis is close to another, and to yet another, etc, with suburbs commuting to these cities, too. This is what you see in Europe like Germany / Netherlands / France, this is what you see in central Japan, this is what you see in coastal China; all these places have very high population density, It works to an extent in US Northeast. All these places have dense and working passenger railways.

But they are a major investment that needs to be repaid, so they need a lot of use. I don't think I'd pay twice as much to get from NYC to Philadelphia twice as fast (say, 45 minutes instead of 90-100), and even 4 times as fast (say, 20 minutes). It would cost comparable to hiring an small airplane already, because there's no such a mass daily ridership. And most places in the US are much lower density. Airplanes are more economical over large sparse spaces.

I did some Windows programming in VC++6 way back in the day, and watching you do File->New [empty] Project was super nostalgic for me. And I actually learned a bunch of things watching this video.

Kudos!
I was thinking the same thing. HAVING must be after SELECT. It doesn't really make sense otherwise.

Terrorists can and will use steganography, which even the most advanced automated systems cannot detect.

They want to surveil the public.
Isn’t this covered by the author in her example where she shows how an alias can still work because the DB engine can rewrite the alias as:

SELECT 2 + 2 FROM <table> HAVING 2 + 2 > 3;

SELECT 2 + 2 FROM <table> HAVING 2 + 2 > 4;
Near where I live (in America) a planned BLM protest (that would've blocked a major highway) was diverted by the city emergency response- police, but also fire fighters and EMS held a big barbecue nearby.

Many previous algorithms (adversarial training, distillation, most attacks, etc.) can be used in 3D in a fairly straightforward manner as they are architecture-agnostic. However, they do not make use of specific properties that are present in 3D point sets and the 3D neural networks. For example, removing points as an attack or a defense is specific to point sets; you cannot really remove pixels in an image. The distribution of points in a point cloud also gives us information that can be used in defenses, but the attacker can also tamper with it (this is partially the focus of this work).

Similarly, adversarial attacks/defenses are still being proposed for graphs, audio, and other domains because we can leverage domain-specific knowledge.
You can also look this from a completely different mentality.

> The child was struck 89% of the time, and all of the cars hit the pedestrian dummy after making a right turn.

That means that in that simple no-turn circumstance, the car DOESN’T hit the child 11% of the time.

It’s better than nothing, and it’s a start. You still have to drive your car. You still need to stay off your phone. But these systems only have to work sometimes for them to be worth installing.

I wouldn't be so sure, there was the rather plausible speculation that the 3% from Robinhood was a loss leader that wasn't meant to last long, in order to drum up hype for the launch. They could very well have been planning to earn the fed rate and fronting the difference for a period of time and then bait & switching (and/or introducing some premium plan to make up the difference).

Also, money market funds, which are generally considered cash-equivalents, don't usually yield north 3% either afaik, and I can imagine putting customers deposits in riskier higher yielding investments could have also have ran foul of banking regulations.

Brex is using neither of these strategies here as far as I can tell, and they're providing a decent amount of transparency into how the funds are going to be handled, so it should be fairly easy for regulators to review. If regulators do take issue with their strategy, I suspect we'll probably hear about it in the news soon enough. In the mean time, it's still an early access product, so it's not like we can use it immediately anyways (I'll definitely be signing up though).
This is a very interesting subject!

1) We know that our minds can do so much more. Why? Review the various well-documented feats of memory/computation that people have been capable of. This is like seeing a fellow human run a mile in less than two minutes.

2) Question is: Why cannot these levels be attained by more people? My hypothesis is the way our brains are trained in childhood. Baby Mozart, etc. toys aside, the way baby brains gather information and are trained are limited by their bodily abilities, which are puny.

3) The answer seems to be to devise a way to feed information-reach, highly non-normal stimulus to young brains, e.g. using heads up displays. This is the method described in Mimsy Were the Borogoves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimsy_Were_the_Borogoves)

This sounds nightmarish and we also don't have the technology currently. But in the intense competition for colleges/high-schools and even middle schools who knows what can happen?

P.S. Also wanted to mention Hinton's models/toys with which he claimed to have learned to intuitively think about 4th dimensional objects, they are described in his book https://publicdomainreview.org/2015/10/28/notes-on-the-fourt....

Like with many SQL questions this depends on what implementation you're using.

In MySQL you can use HAVING, ORDER BY, and GROUP BY with column aliases but not WHERE: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/942571/using-column-alia...

In PostgreSQL you can not use the column alias within WHERE or HAVING but you can use it in ORDER BY and GROUP BY: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/225874/using-column-...

Similarly in Microsoft SQL server you cannot use it in WHERE, HAVING, or GROUP BY but you can use it in ORDER BY.

In SQLite you can use column aliases within WHERE, HAVING, ORDER BY and GROUP BY: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10923107/using-a-column-...

In Google Bigquery you can use them in GROUP BY and ORDER BY but in Hive you can only use them in ORDER BY.

As far as I know the standard only defines that you cannot use column aliases in the WHERE clause. I'm sure someone else can chime in with what the standard says about column aliases in ORDER BY, GROUP BY and HAVING.
I don't think they reuse needles for that any more.

They all take the oath to to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States". It would be great if those agents of the government were held accountable to that oath, and if found guilty of otherwise face appropriate repercussions
I think we have different definitions of "declarative", since I consider SQL's join syntax to be pretty darn declarative. You're declaring the relationship between two tables. You're not telling the database how to spool through each table and match up values; you're just telling it which values need to match up by which constraints.
We Can't Have Nice Things
In one of the comments, by Monica it seems, she's not convinced of any wrong doing:

> "repeatedly violating our existing Code of Conduct": citation needed. "CM’s repeated requests to change": citation needed. – Monica Cellio

And later she clarifies that she doesn't know the specific thing that caused it:

>
@Randal'Thor let's start with them telling us exactly what part of the current CoC they think I "repeated violated". There's a lot of discussion in that email including of deeply personal identity-background stuff, so I want to know what the charge is before I decide if that response would help. They didn't even tell me what they think I did. – Monica Cellio

Edit: added 2nd comment by Monica
> Of course, the framework is a hairy mess for other reasons (lazy loading, untranslateable methods, ugly generated queries) but the alternative to SQL it presents is lovely.

What is wrong with lazy loading enabled by default?

An electric train can have near-zero carbon footprint, because electricity can be generated from nuclear fuel, sunlight, wind.

An electric airliner is still unattainable. Synthesizing jet fuel using electricity is of course possible, but must be massively less efficient than using that electricity directly in electric motors with efficiency > 0.95 and recuperative braking.

The carbon footprint of building the railway, likely with massive amounts of concrete to use to support the rails, and the steel for the rails (to say nothing of maglev infrastructure) — that's going to be huge. Building a pair of airports should be much less expensive.

There shouldn’t be. Engines don’t run sql directly. They make an AST, make an intermediate representation of instructions and then execute.

So if it results in same AST, the parser should be flexible. Someone should make PRs for mysql, slqlite and Postgres.

If those three have it, other engines will catch up real fast.
Tyranny gets a label after someone coins it. It hasn't been coined for this group yet. But it will happen after they have destroyed enough lives.
Persia is a very pleasing sounding name. I am a Persian and quite like it. However, as noted elsewhere, tribal preferences and aesthetics are trumped by a greater love for the totality of the Iranian People, who are not all Persians.
Yes-ish. I have been doing it with TiddlyWiki, including somewhat publishing one wiki as my static website.

On this subject: do any of you know if it's legal to deeply quote (long and/or frequent quotes) works to assemble a digital notebook that references them and post the whole thing online (quotes and all)? I'm worried that at some point I (and others) would violate copyright in doing so.

If I recall correctly Atom was originally developed on top of node-webkit before they decided to fork and create Atom Shell based on Chromium.

> It's a hard sell. Just picture a politician on live television having to choose between having this cute little child being raped for years before they commit suicide (letting the perpetrators off the hook), or ramp up the surveillance a bit. Picture them choosing rape.

We see politicians regularly choosing to not enact overwhelmingly popular positions like universal background checks in the face of mass murders of children.

How many politicians have done anything to stop the Catholic church from hiding child rapists? This is a much more direct harm and no one who isn't a child rapist would lose anything if we fixed it.

Politicians are already choosing rape and murder when the stakes are much lower.
But the purpose of a wild animal is not to be killed and eaten. I’m not convinced you could accurately describe in words what the purpose of a wild animal is. However, it is easy to describe what the purpose of beef cattle. It is to be killed and be eaten by the same animal who has bred them to have high muscle content and caged them.

“Captive” animals is entirely too broad a class. Pets have great lives much of the time. I am talking about animals bred and raised for human consumption only, and I do believe those lives are meaningless suffering based on the goal of that life. Extending the argument, if a person were birthed solely to be an organ farm for a wealthy individual, that would also be meaningless suffering even if they were treated “well” for most of their life.

Just my opinion. Thanks for discussing!
