I think there is a clear distinction between languages and frameworks.

But again, what are the clear benefits for the customer of choosing Elm compared to the more popular choices in the market, given the (IMO significant) drawbacks of a niche language?
All this is true.
And yet the same arguments didn’t stop us from doing our, admittedly small, part in stopping the use of CFC’s to repair the ozone hole. Our part included curtailing our own use and arguing for global action. Suffice to say that global action made a measurable and undeniably effective impact.

Imagine a child being constantly smacked by bullies. Another child that “only” smacked the first once every few weeks is no less culpable than those that smack it multiple times a day.
As an agile, okr, lean, and pragmatic product guy... we still aren't here yet.

Tell dev teams 'why' and they complain about not having 'what.' tell them 'what' and they complain about not having 'how.' tell them 'how' and they complain about not having 'what' and tell you to mind your own business.

The problem is that it's too much for one person to define. i think the solution is having technical ux people (yikes) work on the 'how' with the devs and users.

There is plenty of this in European football. I remember fan groups flying Che Guevara flags at many games with no problems.

It really becomes a problem when teams and players do it, and even more in international settings. Hence FIGA's rule, which is aimed at keeping the game neutral and an inclusive sport.

You’re talking about celebrities who are treated differently.

How’s that population of effectively “disappeared” minorities into prison for pot possession and migrants in cages make it look relative to China and its behavior of kidnapping people. There are oodles of folks held in America without charges every year.

Oh they got a trial here sure. One with a predetermined outcome codified into law years ago.

America has had the advantage of being able to sell the pretense via warm and cuddly commercials to the public over the last few decades. The rhetoric in China and America is the same. And “proper Chinese” believe a lot of the same about China vs. US

All countries fail the bottom 1/3rd. Some are just better at justifying it emotionally
Top people wouldn't be brought down but middle level people can be ruined by this because there is no media protection. It could be part of an operation to take down an unsympathetic individual and replace them with a sympathetic one. Of course this is all purely speculative so none of it matters. I just think we live in a weird time. I agree that for many people the media kills the story and we're all expected to move on, and we all play a part in that.

George Bush labeled Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as the "Axis of Evil". In reality it's the U.S., China, and Saudi Arabia. There's also Russia desperately trying to join the gang. All bad actors on the global stage.
Is china better or worse than Australia on this issue?
I'm in the same boat. Yang makes logical and simple-to-understand solutions to real problems we are facing. But at the same time, I just don't feel he's charismatic or inspiring enough. And I also find it weird he hasn't talked much about his stance on China. I really don't see any downside of declaring a tough stance on China as far as candidacy goes.

One thing I agree with him though, the top 3 dem candidates right now don't really stand a chance against Trump.
If such a law would be made, US companies would be effectively required to isolate their US user base from the rest of the world. Things that can legally be said in the US can easily be illegal in other countries that value free speech. EU countries tend to take a fimer stance on personal attacks, for example.
This isn’t a tail call situation, though. In order to convert it to iteration you have to use external storage.
The world is not working that way. In terms of geopolitical interests, the EU doesn't align with the US well.
You're right. The issue is with months. Once it gets to a year, HN shows the date. It's not as bad as I mistakenly recalled/extrapolated.
they use it for pig feed and it's use as a component in many food products. I don't think they technically depend on it, but they depend on it and have to import huge amounts. If they didn't, they'd either have to make a domestic source (they have had trouble with this) or switch to other protein sources.
You can fight China on human rights without fighting everyone on human rights. Why let perfect be the enemy of the good? Should we support china simply because we haven't fought Saudi Arabia on this?

> It would be a particularly perverse deployment of "whataboutism" if one argues that honoring our values over profit is not something we should do now, because whatabout the fact up until quite recently we weren't?

You don't even have to go until "quite recently," we can demonstratively saying we're--today, tomorrow, and for the foreseeable future-- aiding the yemeni genocide. "Whataboutism," is a complete spook that, oddly enough, details conversations because OP is likely not pointing out that we should ignore our values, but rather that the USA has no values to honor in the first place.
The article is pretty clean but the main page is probably a little closer to what you're expecting. Japanese sites do tend to have a certain sort of "busy"/boxy look to them.
The other side of this coin is that celebrity culture tends to literally be the selling of a person as an object.

The number of people who are incapable of understanding that the image portrayed of celebrities in the media is literally them selling you a manufactured image, and nothing to do with an actual human being, lifestyle, or genuinely held belief or personality I imagine must be staggeringly high.
3) Continue to tarrif economic relations with China, or even cut them off entirely.

4) Individuals signal to companies, via their spending habits, what they won't put up with.
So how exactly did you do it? You can't leave me hanging now.
I do worry that the power consumption might be far too high for the amount of value you're getting out of it. I mean, a Raspberry Pi Zero probably has more computing power than an Apple II, while using a small fraction of the power. You could probably retrofit the software to work relatively well on an Apple II emulator on the Raspberry Pi, for that matter.

Increasingly I've been getting a bit worried about these "it gets the job done" mentalities; are the environmental externalities actually being properly accounted for?
Yes, and the history of American football starts at Big Bang :)
> Doesn't technology stay fairly constant going back in history? For how long did we only have fire and rocks?

The point is, it always progresses forward, except in rare cases where a population is completely lost, though the rate of change has varied widely. I m sure even fire-building would have been somewhat refined before the neolithic era.
Then you should think it through some more.

The point is that it's absurd to only look at the negatives. Just like you wouldn't only be judging wind or the sun on negatives you can't only look at the negatives only of diesel you have to look at the positives and THEN decide whether it's worth it.
I'm legitimately unsure which of those you think my comment contravened. Unless, as I said, you are implying that the suggestion Trump did something good is intrinsically political flame bait.
Do you have some references or reading material on that?

I wonder why some of the technological advancements were lost due to Roman invasion, since the Romans themselves were avid engineers and has great admiration for Greek arts. I know that Roman rulers in provincial Greece were exploiting it for maximum financial gain using awful methods (at least for some time), but still... if some of these technological advancements were well known you’d think the Romans would invariably adopt and expand on them as they’ve done with so much they encountered in other civilizations.

To be the advocate for devil, US salary is too high and regulation/labour too tight, protests too many.

I don't agree, but I hope the project is successful in the long run as well! I guess time will tell..
I didn't know I had to point out something that obvious and when asked I actually answered.

And guess what, when I actually answered I was downvoted for that too.
I think it depends on the project entirely. A starving province in market ruled society that wants to get something for as little money as possible will act differently from a rich Scandinavian nation where utilitaristic ideas are widely spread and people agree to spend more to get good things for everybody.
His company has virtually zero market share in China too.
Interesting so if I make a coin, airdrop it to you guys, and enforce only a single sale of one coin for a million dollars to my friend and from him back to me, then leaving the chain untransactable, you're all on the hook for 1 million dollars worth of coin but can't sell it? Fascinating.

He used to hang out with the 1960s Democratic Party mighty, even ran in an election. His essays are pretty sharp.
Kind of embarrassing, but I cannot! The thing is, development of mechanised theorem proving has been driven by computer scientists, so proving program correctness, doing programming language semantics, and explaining constructive ideology is at the heart of most introductory text books.

I would recommend just following the "Theorem Proving in Lean" book for starters.
I thought I had read something along those lines in a GNU document, but I believe I found what I was thinking of on Stallman's personal web site:

I firmly refuse to install non-free software or tolerate its installed presence on my computer or on computers set up for me.

However, if I am visiting somewhere and the machines available nearby happen to contain non-free software, through no doing of mine, I don't refuse to touch them. I will use them briefly for tasks such as browsing. This limited usage doesn't give my assent to the software's license, or make me responsible its being present in the computer, or make me the possessor of a copy of it, so I don't see an ethical obligation to refrain from this. Of course, I explain to the local people why they should migrate the machines to free software, but I don't push them hard, because annoying them is not the way to convince them.

Likewise, I don't need to worry about what software is in a kiosk, pay phone, or ATM that I am using. I hope their owners migrate them to free software, for their sake, but there's no need for me to refuse to touch them until then. (I do consider what those machines and their owners might do with my personal data, but that's a different issue, which would arise just the same even if they did use free software. My response to that issue is to minimize those activities which give them any data about me.)

https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

A kiosk, pay phone, ATM, or someone else's personal computer is indeed not a "cloud" server; I might reasonably extrapolate that Stallman would have the same opinion about software installed on someone else's server, but whether if that is true or not, this may in fact not be an official "GNU" position, as such.
that's not Pyke.
The trouble is that if you provide a mechanism to side-load, people will be convinced to use it without understanding the risks they are taking. See also the recent issues with MDM. In that sense, it kind of is either/or for the average user.
So I'm all behind any work on Plan 9, props to these guys for advancing it.

That said, I need to comment on the negative site visitor experience.

It seems more effort was spent collecting odd theme art, private jokes, and inscrutable menus (what's /n for anyway?) than anything else. What is it? How do I get it? Why would I want to hack on this? How did it fork from P9 and what's different now?

If the goal of that site is some hip art project to keep out newcomers with some secret cabal, mission accomplished, I'm out. -- potential contributor
I do consulting around Kubernetes, and many large enterprise clients are interested in Windows Containers. The usual culprit are .Net Framework applications that the customer has no interest in porting to .Net Core.

I haven't actually seen a customer use Windows Containers in production yet, but with them becoming more stable I suspect we'll see more of it in the next year.
Soy is primarily used for pig feed. Brazil is razing forest to fill demand in coming years. US isn't going to starve China which is nominally food secure, as in no one is going to starve because of it. It has potential to make people pissed, current raising pork prices due to disease is already causing strife. It's also somewhat opportune timing however, China wouldn't have the soy card to squeeze Trumps farmers base if disease didn't dramatically reduce demand for soy.

Also China depends on US for IC (and airplane engines).
Not melt, but creep catastrophically, but yes, I'm aware. You seem to have accidentally stuck “combined cycle” into your sentence about gas turbines, though, which makes it pretty confused.

COM interop used to be a big buzzword say, a decade ago, but I haven't really heard or seen much usage of it since.

Most of my experience in using it has been horribly abusing it to drive Office applications and Notes to do some awful things because at the time there weren't any libraries to manipulate certain file types. I have done some truly heinous things with the Lync/Skype COM-based client SDK, back in the times when the Office 365 version of that product was viable, and there was no other API options available.
> So economists do the same thing, they take some ratio of numbers that seem to be tracking the 'size' of the economy and then run that trend out 50, 100, 500 years.

Very few academic economists do 30+ year extrapolations, let alone 50, 100, 500. The vast majority of long-term growth macro-economic literature are attempts to explain/model the large observed differences in outcomes in GDP/capita between different countries, and hopefully distill some useful policy advise from that. Forecasting beyond even 5 years or so is a very niche activity in academic economics. (Source: PhD economics and former model builder for pension fund and souvereign wealth funds)
>What is surprising about this line of thinking?

I never said it was 'surprising'; I said it was remarkable.

>People stated, correctly, that companies should support gay rights and other progressive causes because it is in their their self interest to do so. Companies followed that advice.

Is that why they should support a cause though? Only because it is in their best (financial) interest to do so? I'm not insane; of course we're going to look out for ourselves, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that... until there is. At some point your profit seeking harms others.

This is exactly what I'm talking about; your argument presumes that a company should only take action when it suits their interests, i.e., increases revenue. You act as though the pursuit of profit at all costs is some immutable law of the universe. It's not.

>It's valid to point out that the people's opinions don't always match that of the CCP, but it's erroneous to asset without evidence that the average Chinese disagrees with the party line on this issue. 50% of the mainland Chinese I've talked to have a negative opinion on the HK protestors and the other 50% don't really care very much. I haven't met any that actually support the protests.

It's also erroneous to assert that your anecodotal evidence reflects reality, but I don't think it actually matters if the people support the CPC or not. Some things are just plain wrong, and people throughout history have supported foul actions because it suited them personally to do so (or because they're scared of the repercussions of not doing so.) Much of what China does is just wrong, I couldn't care less if their citizenry supports it.
In Africa we have started to speak of China as the modern age colonizers. They are appearing everywhere, building roads, airports, dams and coal fired power stations. They bring all their equipment. We have challenges with governance (understatement). In my home country we have severe power shortages, daily power cuts lasting up 18 hours. Chinese are building a power station. So picture the day we try assert some right and China just switches off the power. This kind of scenario is playing itself out in Africa and I fear by the time we wake up China will own the continent. I exaggerate but I think you get my point.
They do, but you don't know at which stage and whether or not raw copies are kept. Most platforms will at least filter the egress.

Though in the first 2 years Kaepernick went unsigned, about 10-15 quarterbacks weaker than him were signed. One has to assume the commercial/financial risk from fan and sponsor backlash was a significant factor.
All the SPA apps I have worked on have been significantly slower than the server side rendered apps I have written myself.

Page refresh loads are rarely the problem, its usually a database issue, or just a shit load of API calls to load different menus that would be done in one call with server side rendering.

What new meaning?
The text of the ruling is incredibly unclear.

You could read the ruling as saying that if you have coins on both the old system and the new system that you recieved an 'air drop' and owe taxes. Or you could attempt to read it as saying that you only received an 'air drop' if there was a "transfer" and not merely state copying.

The latter interpretation is more reasonable in effect but seriously frustrated by the total lack of guidance on setting the cost basis of the resulting assets! Also the language of the ruling comes very close to directly contradicting this interpretation: "Situation 1: A did not receive units of the new cryptocurrency, Crypto N, from the hard fork;".

The former interpretation is frustrated by the absurd result that users of eth, bcash, or other centrally administered frequently hardforking cryptocurrencies would owe income tax multiple times over for every one of those coins they own... even though the original systems have largely (but not completely) been ignored, and aren't valued as much. So what, are users of those systems supposed to have over and over against recognized ordinary income for nearly the total value of their holdings and sold the original coins and taken a capital loss on them (which they couldn't deduct against their ordinary income, except in a limited way)?
Stories from Women Whose Doctors Did Not Take Their Pain Seriously
There's at least been (and continues to be) public and spirited debate about events in Saudi Arabia and Israel, of a kind that China seems incapable of tolerating. No country is perfect, but when you start silencing or censoring political dissent, you head down a very dark road.

A bank I use does something like this. On account creation you give it a long key string and on subsequent log-in it asks for three different characters (e.g. the 4th, 3rd and 9th characters) from the string.

Sorry to bother you with the late reply.

For about 10 years the US had a judge made "flash of genius" standard that was part of determining patentibility. It was eliminated by the US Congress in 1952.

I haven't done the research, but I imagine the flash-of-genius standard was repealed because it is impossible to objectively quantify. Current non-obviousness analysis incorporates some things that might be evidence of a flash of genius without going there, such as, market success, unmet need, and so on. But usually non-obviousness is determined if one cannot find subject matter in printed publications that one of ordinary skill in the art could combine to make the claimed invention.
