It's both. Politics is a huge part, reunification is #1 CPC policy consideration since founding and her entire legitimacy rests on it. Occupation goal is by 2050. No one is censoring discussion of Taiwan? If you're talking flag emoji that's equivalent to banning confederate flag in Chinese context. People talk about Taiwan in China all the time but under context of reunification. On refusing sovereignty claims. If Taiwan was sovereign they would be free to host US bases which challenges Chinese security, particularly shipping lanes where China imports oil. China is not energy secure. Taiwan has been a Chinese "redline" for many reasons.
I’m slightly confused by the part where the author states a 7-bit search would take 2 years on a modern GPU, and the answer was found in 4 days on a Vega64. Isn’t that a modern GPU? Have I misunderstood here, or was the author’s math incorrect?

IMO, the most reasonable interpretation without a specific basis-splitting rule, given that the IRS divides a hard fork into a legacy ledger a and a new ledger would be that the basis value for the new ledger entries (being that they are created by the fork at no cost) is zero, with the legacy ledger entries retaining their original basis value.

"Just as most smoking prevention advertising is proven to increase smoking might many pro innovation programs prevent innovation?"

Back in the spring of 2007 I was dating a woman who worked for a mature Silicon Valley tech company. She was excited to share news of a recently-introduced program that she was certain I'd love. What was it? I asked. A rotational development program. It would produce people like me, she said: generalists, people who understood many aspects of the company's business and could go on to lead it into the future.

My response to this news was sadness. Don't you know what's going to happen? All of the High Achievers and Grade Grubbers and Brass Ring Grabbers are going to hear about this program, and they're going to compete for this Shiny Object, this Resume Enhancer, and all the people like me, the ones who quietly follow their curiosity with a borderline sense of guilt and shame, who feel like outcasts and weirdos for not fitting in, are never going to sign up for the cutthroat competition. And the company will think it has done something wonderful to promote innovation.

I remember the look on her face after I'd unloaded on this thing she was so proud of. The relationship did not survive to see the first day of summer.
See my other thread, but to summarise, I don’t think this is Blizzard, but actually a Chinese company with a license from Blizzard to operate their IP within China.

I think that actual Blizard has no control here and the situation is a lot more complex than is immediately apparent.
That makes sense. The last Make No Law episode covers some of this in detail as well.
I can understand that this might be useful from a technical point of view. From a business point of view I am not sure such a technical choice and symbiosis give the most bang for the buck.
I believe them to be genuine, but if you need incontrovertible proof, Paypal has you covered! :-)

All messages contain the following "clarification":

"How do I know this is not a Spoof email?

Spoof or 'phishing' emails tend to have generic greetings such as "Dear PayPal member". Emails from PayPal will always contain your full name."

So unless the bad guys can get their hands on a database full of names and email addresses, we're safe. And Paypal can honestly claim that "the security of our customers is very important to us!".

In the EU, shops are required to display the price per <appropiate round value>, i. e. all coffees have a (usually smaller, but readable) Euro/500g price.

There used to be an even more drastic law proscribing certain sizes and disallowing all others. Flour would only be available in 500g and 1kg bags, for example. They got rid of it, possibly because they got sick of people making fun of EU regulations (that's what happened with the famous banana ratings)

> 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.

The text is fairly clear on this point, that a hard fork may or may not be followed by an airdrop, because it has a separate entry for “hard fork followed by airdrop” and “hard fork not followed by airdrop”.

So if you have a hard fork, and your old coins are now on two forks, that’s not income. “Hard fork without airdrop.”

I am not sure what else “hard fork without airdrop” could possibly mean.

Agreed that the cost basis for these coins is unclear.

i'm partial to the labor theory of value, not for pricing (which is better modeled with marginalism, as you speak to), but for an intrinsic value by which we can evaluate how well a particular market might be working. a well-functioning market should tend toward the intrinsic (labor) value of a good (if, for example, relevant information is widely available and known, competitors can easily enter and exit, distortions are minimized, etc.).

It really only makes sense to understand the world economy as a whole. On this scale, consumption (e.g. steel production or oil consumption) continue to grow [1,2]. Americans are in the fortunate position of selling services (e.g. finance, advertising, information management) and consuming finished products from the rest of the world, but the American economy should not be considered a closed system.

Heat doesn't "really" get trapped by greenhouse gases.
The earth is constantly heated by the sun's light (light hits the air, heats the air; it hits the ground, it heats the ground) and it's constantly radiating heat away (the ground emits infrared and cools down). The hotter something is, the faster it emits heat, so based on the amount of incoming heat, the irradiated body hits a temperature where income=outgoing. More greenhouse gases just change the radiation/heat profile of the planet so that the point where income=outgoing ends up at a higher temperature.

You could actively cool the planet in principle, of course; but to do anything noticeable, you'd have to operate on geographical scales. You'd probably be better off building towers to the edge of the atmosphere and putting infrared radiators like this on top of those; otherwise, the your best bet would be to replace a few million square kilometres of a hot region with black paint and make sure there are never any clouds overhead.
I am not at all denying the benefits of technology, or that companies are working in it, but I am skeptical of how widespread it is right now. Therefore, I would want to see some numbers to verify such a claim.

国家 simply means state or nation and in this context national. 国家尊严 means national dignity. In the US you rarely address one's dignity, honor, or national dignity. You talk about US values, democratic values, respect for the constitution, etc. So to properly convey the meaning and intonation to a US audience, you would try to rephrase that term into "respect for the country" or something along those lines.
a) Many things that are runtime exceptions or silent errors in other languages, are compile errors in Elm.

b) Immutability, strong type system and few language constructs make local reasoning very easy. Developers spend less time chasing bugs.

c) Easy to learn. In virtual all jobs that I've had as a frontend developer, there's always been something new to learn. I spent more time learning Ember than I did spend on learning Elm.

d) Less churn. Javascript and related frameworks are, to me at least, exhausting to stay up to date on. Elm changes at a much slower pace.

The heat-trapping behaviour of CO_2 was first accurately measured in the 19th century, and all climate change models do actually predict convergence, not linear rise. It's just that the point of convergence is not one compatible with civilisation as we know it.
Simplicity is king.
I think there's a specific problem in here; outputs are concrete, outcomes are more abstract. All of the decision-making on how to achieve the outcome needs to sit low-down in the team doing the work, which is going to be fine (and ideal) in some situations, but terrible in others. Decisions should definitely be taken at the lowest point possible in the organisation, but they also need:

- pretty complete domain knowledge

- all the relevant information

- to not conflict with decisions being taken elsewhere.

As an obvious example, if you task the team who "own" the login page with an outcome of "50% fewer account lock-outs due to forgotten password", there are good ways and bad ways of achieving that outcome. Crucially, do they have enough knowledge / information / decision-making power to decide that a "reset password link sent by email" type feature is OK from a security perspective? That it won't conflict with the registration team's outcome to increase sign-ups (because they're thinking of doing away with requesting email)? What about an opportunity to allow people to sign-in on the web via the app (via QR code, a la many challenger banks) - this team doesn't "own" the app, how do they do that?

Having small teams is wonderful if the teams can be autonomous. If they suddenly need lots of outside co-ordination and discussion to ensure that their deliverables for outcomes don't tread on the toes of other teams, then they're coupled up again like a larger team and effectively lose the autonomy.

The role of management is exactly to provide this autonomy by pre-supplying the co-ordination and ensuring the work requested from the various teams makes sense as a cohesive whole. You generally can't delegate high-level business outcomes like "increase profits by 10%" to a single team, or multiple teams, without that level of agreement or co-ordination.

Marshaling COM objects for use among different threads was fun. Remember the function 'CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream'? :-)

I feel Windows' C API (i.e., Win32 API) was adopted at a larger scale than COM. It's much easier to use the Win32 C API than COM objects. You'd have to use COM if you wanted to program the shell or DirectX but most of everything else you could use the C API.
If they know any of those languages particularly Javascript they can do Elm.

A lot of companies aren't even making knowing their core language as a hiring requirement.

You could make an argument about Elm's community size for long term support of libraries. But hiring isn't a very good one. Elm isn't entirely fringe nor immature.
I send unauthenticated email on port 25, every semester, in front of my students, as part of a discussion on internet application protocols. I can't use "God", because the addresses are validated, but I do send "from" the school's IT director. I even give them the commands to do it themselves (along with a strict talking to about how it's not truly anonymous because their network access is authenticated).

I've been able to do it at every university I've studied or worked at.
The cost of rewriting the software will surpass any energy costs of the working solution. Not to mention crafting the new hardware and utilizing old computer will harm ecology too.
Twitter doesn't build power stations. Its pretty hard to miss the ground being cleared as the power station is being built.
One way to understand this cooling effect is that it occurs because at wavelengths where greenhouse gases are not substantially absorptive, heat can effectively escape out (or at least get absorbed and sent back to you at a higher altitude). The actual mechanisms are more complex than I'm describing as the atmosphere's temperature and composition varies with altitude, but the net effect from the perspective of a surface facing the sky is that, if you're at the same temperature as the air around you, you will radiate more heat out than the sky sends back to you.

All that being said, this is not in and of itself a climate change solution in the way you might be imagining. Most surfaces on Earth are effective at radiating heat already, and do so (it's in climate models). The difference here is we're thinking about actively making use of the cooling effect from a device, or building-scale to offset energy uses.
I would recommend anyone using NixOS in production to use the release versions. That's what I do on my servers..

Like for other distros, the point of releases is that they don't upgrade random software under your feet, resulting in unplanned behaviour changes and unplanned required maintenance.

Like for other distros, release channels get important upgrades and minor bugfix releases of upstream software.

NixOS releases are every 6 months, so that's frequent enough to have pretty up-to-date software most of the time. NixOS also makes it very easy to cherry-pick fixes from master and make custom changes (it's just a /git cherry-pick/ away), allowing to selectively upgrade things that you need for your use case.
...total lack of guidance on setting the cost basis of the resulting assets...

"A24. If you receive cryptocurrency from an airdrop following a hard fork, your basis in that cryptocurrency is equal to the amount you included in income on your Federal income tax return. The amount included in income is the fair market value of the cryptocurrency when you received it. You have received the cryptocurrency when you can transfer, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of it, which is generally the date and time the airdrop is recorded on the distributed ledger. See Rev. Rul. 2019-24. For more information on basis, see Publication 551, Basis of Assets." (I realize the FAQ may not be legally binding, but there it is.)
Sure. It wouldn't be a quick-fix; other parts of the system would have to adjust. But it isn't fundamentally infeasible: there's still a positive flow.
I am sure they are. But a leap from combines to decentralized sensing using drones is a big one, and I'd want to see some numbers to verify this.

You _will_ be hiring an extra person to manage these machines. That's the beauty of The Cloud (tm). Need more compute? You got it. Provisioned too much? Get rid of it. If you're a startup, you don't have time nor money to be managing your own infra.

Not to mention the ability to deploy to _any_ region within minutes. Now you're talking $8,800 / region + someone to maintain other regions.

U.S. Senator Rubio Calls for Review of TikTok's Merger with Musical.ly
Saving "A few 100k" is one solution, probably for the American FAANG (or equivalent) engineers. But there are other solutions.

Frugality helps - less money is required if you live in a shared house or a couch (you can invest in property at the same time but not live in it).

Having a life partner helps, one of you can have a job at all times, so one of you has the FU card.

Other sources of income. I think coding side projects are hard to make work, but real estate is more doable (but there is more risk and patience required).

Even with none of that, a good CV, interviewing technique, keeping up with the interview puzzles, and living somewhere with plenty of jobs will give you a FU card to your current company (but not the industry).

They're indistinguishable in quite a few matters - the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations all continued the PATRIOT act, warrantles wiretapping of US citizens, all the foreign wars the US got itself involved in, and none of them closed Guantanamo, reduced immigration, broke up any monopolies, or even slowed their mergers. And these are the topics on which they made wildly different promises. The only stand-out was Trump stopping the TPP.

I'll grant you there are other topics on which they differ, but depending on what you look at, your options quickly blur together.
I like that it's more productive to work with than C++ and about 20-40 times faster than Python (more if you take the concurrency improvements into account). That's a perfect sweet spot for many companies.
