> Dorsey espouses some very libertarian views and yet he's generally leaning left of course

Since the left has a embraced intersectionality, you can't be a "libertarian" and lean "left", that's completely incompatible, or I'm not sure what left you are talking about. That Dorsey puts up a facade because he lives in the silicon valley? sure, just like the higher ups at Alphabet.
Do you know the cost of putting only 1kg at the Sun-Earth L1 point? To give you an idea, the cost of putting a satellite in the geosynchronous orbit is about $30k/kg, and the geosynchronous orbit is only 36,000 km away.

But let's assume somehow miraculously we find a way to put objects at L1 as cheaply as the geosynchronous orbit. Your proposal would still cost $66 trillion. That's roughly the entire world's gdp. Do you really think this is going to be cheaper than reducing carbon emission?
Shake to undo and also shake to report a problem and also shake to report abuse.

It does different things in different contexts. I can see how this could be confusing.

Right click > copy; right click > paste

ctrl / cmd -c; ctrl / cmd -v

Which, in my experience, are (almost?) universal.

If your a keyboard native like me, you probably find text entry and editing on mobile fucking sucks.
Not good for the country IMO. All political parties can buy ads. Even if ads are one-sided and misleading, people will be better informed if they are exposed to ads from various sides than if there are no ads.
I currently live in Switzerland and had no problems getting several job offers for consulting, traditional software engineering companies, insurance companies, Fintech companies and so on.

I also applied to some companies that work in biotech related ares, zero response (full-stack job offers). Well, I think I send one application and two inquiries, still no response. That was very irritating, as it did not happen before anywhere else. But all of them wrote that they want a bit of a bio background, so I attributed it to that.
Let's say you're flying a race drone in windy conditions. you're aiming for a gate that you're going to fly straight through when a large gust of wind hits. You now have to compensate for that wind to correct your trajectory, and that can take a LOT of thrust depending on how large the gust was and how fast you need to correct the trajectory.

It's possible for the maneuver to require so much sideways thrust that you will bleed some altitude and start to fall to the ground (granted on a racing drone this is probably measured in centimeters for most maneuvers, but you get the idea)

Racing drones usually have a thrust:weight ratio of 8:1 or so, but the large Mavik Pro has a thrust:weight of 2.5:1, and their smaller Spark a ratio of ~2:1. You need a minimum TWR of about 2:1 to be flyable.

If the Mavic Mini has a similar TWR as the spark, then it's very unlikely you'll be able to fly it in any sort of windy conditions.
My first real paying gig was Access 97 (I'm old). They actually taught it at my university at the time in the MIS/CIS path. I built a credentialing system for a small HMO. I was able to get it to support over 100 people, including report load. I split out the database from the front end (forms/reports) and put the database files on an NT4 share. When we grew and it started to buckle under load, I created an additional read-only share and replicated the read-write database to the read-only database every so often. This allowed me to split the users' load between those that needed read/write and those that needed read only.

Talk about a rapid design tool of both forms and reports (and schema), Access was tough to beat. I think Corel/WordPerfect had a similar concept as well.

Good times.
I'm not sure how you can be annoyed by Python, but not by VB.
A sympathetic news outlet is often treading on the edge of political advertising as well. Some TV station airing a favorable or unfavorable documentary on a candidate during election season when executives of those stations have publicly supported (or not supported) a candidate or party seems no different than a PAC buying an ad on that same station.

Why would anyone use Access in 2019 when they can use SQLite instead? Is it because Access has a graphical interface?
> We just assume that other developers are as smart as we are.

I think that excuse falls over when you look at some old code you yourself wrote, and you find that you can't understand it.

That's presuming your smartness doesn't change much over time.
That happened also in the Western US power blackouts of 1996, specifically the August 10 incident.

I already appreciated poetry, but this book a friend who previously didn't realize I wrote (prose but interested in getting back into poetry) helped me get an even deeper appreciation, as it explores different poets works, then after each poet's section challenges you to write a poem taking techniques from one or more of the poems by the poet of the prior section.

Are you an iOS/Mac developer? Because in this case it sounds like the UIKit/AppKit isn't respecting the responder chain, which would be an Apple bug.
But Nature doesn't make its living by publishing articles, it does it by selling subscriptions. This requires having high "prestige" so people want to subscribe to it.

If you're just charging for publishing articles, you don't care about whether anyone reads them or about what your "prestige" is, since you don't make any money off of that.

It's true that if I publish a paper it's better for me if it's read and thus cited, but that's much less of a difference compared to published vs not published at all. The entire problem starts with authors not being incentivized to publish a few good articles over churning out as many as possible.
Is there a reason you believe that the causality should be reversed? The article suggests they did tests post retirement and observed the rate of decline.
Right? The amount of events that lined up in order for this "suicide" to take place are staggering

* Mysterious incident a month before his death where Epstein is found on the ground in his cell with bruising on his neck

* Epstein is taken off of suicide watch for unclear reasons

* Epstein is placed into a cell containing only himself, going against prison regulations

* Epstein is found hanging with a broken hyoid bone, which is seen much more commonly in strangulation

* Both cameras surveying Epstein's cell malfunction

* Periodic 30 minute check-ups not being performed (on one of the most high-profile criminals in the US)

There comes a point where foul-play becomes a more likely explanation than the series of events we are told to believe.
I hike at least ten hours a week (I live in the mountains) and go to the gym once a week. Your advice is excellent. My Dad is in good shape at 98 and he does thirty minutes of Canadian Airforce Exercises early each morning (he started doing this in 1964).
Thinking deeply about it, would it actually lead to better outcomes for Russia?

Risks
1) Social destabilization driven by collapse of southern agricultural communities and their migration northward. Keep in mind that already the northern communities are being heavily impacted by the thaw of the permafrost that many cities and towns are built on - to establish more infrastructure means building on a growing swamp. To be able to get crops to market, it means building very long roads on a growing swamp as well - remember that Russia suffers from a lack of internal rivers to convey agricultural products throughout it's vast geography.

2) Consequences of disturbances to fish stocks for northern communities - who are dependent on either fish directly, or seals and other species indirectly

3) Limited societal benefit of new hydrocarbon resources given the existing klepto-oligarchy - it's unlikely that new resources will be used to stabilise the broader community or social fabric.

4) Possibility that they cannot exploit said hydrocarbons due to global moratoriums or increased uptake in alternative energy sources

5) Broader geopolitical implications of social collapse of soviet satellites; some of which are currently heavily dependent on current rainfall patterns for cotton, wheat and other grains - Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, etc - if these countries go to the wall - what does that mean for the Russian state? It's likely that Russia would have to invest aggressively in shoring up the southern borders.
6) China; the eastern regions of Russia could be a tempting acquisition for China looking for new agricultural land or control of northern ports such as vladivostok as ice coverage decreases- further exacerbating pressures on the central Russian government.

>you could put a shared MDB file out on a Novell network

You could be describing myself. However... I beg to differ on it's scalability... There were 'issues' with the 2.0 Jet engine when accessing MDB files on network shares that would often result in 'missing data'. Lots of fun. (Lots of work up-sizing to actual SQL back-ends as well though)
This is, surprisingly since it's from the faq, incorrect. Here's the relevant text from the GPLv2

> a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

> b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

> c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

C doesn't apply here (it's not non commercial, they didn't receive it like that, ...). A doesn't apply here unless they start just giving every customer the source. So we're in case B which requires them to give it to any third party.

I'm not retired yet, but this is precisely what I'm looking forward to. The need to constantly generate an income is a time sink that really limits the ability to engage in far more interesting intellectual pursuits.

My dad always refers to his body in a similar manner to how one would refer to a car, I.E. “too much mileage on me”, “I walked a lot so now my knees are worn out”. I wonder if their generation has a more simplistic view of our bodies as mechanical things.
A lot of people say handwriting is fundamentally better, but I much prefer typing because I can keep up with the flow of my thoughts more, and find I catch a higher percentage of the thoughts that are occurring. YMMV
this strikes me as different from anything that was possible before the recent advances in GANs

- well this is because you did not see my vis. It looked just like the one you saw on GAN's related link with similar transitions. Except that all imagery was generated by math formulas running in pixel shaders instead of ready bitmaps/videos.

Here is the actual screenshot: https://exsotron.com/exs_files/exvis-0003.jpg

Actually I played with the actual music video clips as a source of the imagery and the results were really cool but obviously other then experiment at home could not really do this part due to copyrights etc.

This comment made me remember my first Mac where when you launched an app it was given complete control over the hardware, with ASM calls to the Mac Toolbox.

Remembering these times it makes me wonder why should there be only one direction, and that maybe there is an alternative to putting all our most sensitive data in every internet connected devices? In old times when you had a computer to do some hobby like games, photo editing, music, etc... the data was only related to that activity, and in the worst case of nuking the hard drive you lost only that work.
I am hearing that often from Mavic Pro users, but both video quality and stability in stronger winds is lacking comparing to P4 series. It's good you are happy, many people like me aren't.

I disagree, anything not written in inline assembly can potentially lead to the compiler modifying the stack which violates the assumption.
Martini wasn't replaced by Gin, 2 different developers.

Buffalo uses code generation sure, but it doesn't make an extensive use of interface {} like Martini did, thus can't really be compared to Rails in terms of polymorphism.
Oh, man, that's heartbreaking.
As in, permanently breaks the hardware? Or just won't function with that software version?
I wonder if this article will spur a nerd poetry genre, if there isn't one already.

There are a lot of niche poetry genres. One of oldest and largest is cowboy poetry. It has a national radio show, books, yearly gatherings and even a museum.

I cannot believe that he didn't have a deadman switch set up just in case something like this happened to him.

Somewhere or wheres, there has to be a couple boxes of hard drives that could burn the world down if they ever came to light. Although I may be being optimistic; the Panama Papers never amounted to anything.
They can only request the source code if you give them the binary.

So sell them the binary and relax.
I agree, totally. But I think that 20 minutes of journaling per day is really valuable even if it's not for work optimization.
Sadly, the text in the video is completely unreadable.
There is some notion that he may have been operating a honeypot (kompromat factory) for Western intelligence services (particularly CIA or Mossad). That would explain why he was collecting blackmail material and all.

I suppose the null hypothesis is that rich and well-connected people can get away with even open crimes in public for years and years. Weinstein got away with rape for years and years, against well-connected people as well. Epstein was a financier just like Weinstein. They have what you need, and they have the ear of a lot of other well-connected people who need things from him.
You are welcome. The Cloud implementation I made, is fully compatible with the minio server which is an open source implementation of s3 written in Go, meansing that you can keep everything in house and this was something super important to me. FreeCAD is a huge piece of software. Thanks for your support ! I agree with you we change too much things but since 0.17 we moved to something more modular with new object which were reuired to implement a descent assembly workbench. This is done and I do not think this is going to change that much anymore (but who knows) ;) We will do it the best as we can for sure.
My guess is that it depends how it is phrased, the imagery and the landing page. "Donate now", ok. "Donate now to keep NRA working for you", ok. "Donate now so we can fight policy XYZ", probably not.
oh I see now, you're one of those people I was talking about.
No, that's very different. Yesterday I proclaimed that our experimental colleagues do an excellent job of avoiding false positives, because they use great scientific practices. Sabine would agree with me on that.

This article is not about doing data analysis in experiment, it's more about how we should choose the theories that guide our choices in experiments in the first place. I disagree with Sabine because I see her as painting an unfair picture of theorists, as if we were all completely unreflective and she was the only one in the world to think seriously about theory selection. Most of her vague suggestions are things that people (sometimes, hundreds of people) have been already doing for decades.

That breaks the cardinal rule of science popularization: don't trash people or take credit for insights without giving a careful, fair picture of everything that is going on, because the scientists affected don't have the right of reply.
The act of retiring to do nothing is so foreign to me.

I take long sabbaticals from employment so I can actually work on harder problems and unfamiliar domains I'd struggle to do professionally if I could even get hired at all to do for money. That and spend more time on my physical fitness while still being able to sleep enough and study other things.

Retirement where people just shut down is no different than a scheduled form of burnout.
"What would be more concerning: a governmental agency or a non-governmental organization having this kind of power?"

If there is such a organisation, then it certainly would be not either private or government, but both connected.

You'd think so.

This particular cruise line (Holland America) is known for its older travelers.
This is a shitty, "got mine, fuck you" mentality that I really hope you re-examine.
This is nice that they aren't selling/boosting political ads (though apparently there's no solution for buying bot armies). However I feel that the root of the problem remains unaddressed- a small group of private companies with their own whims and interests is becoming the sole arbiter of speech and public discourse.
I got started using Access 2, so I'm older...
It's also a smart business decision. Avoiding the entire scrutiny and questions of regulation is worth more than the (modest) amounts spent on online political advertising.
Yeah it doesn’t feel like something more than an access clone. I’d like something that is as easy as access but can also be migrated to a modern web+db app with ease. Even if it requires some minimal coding ability it would be cool to be able to make an Elm crud app deployable as a container, starting from an access-like set of tables and forms.
A Physics Magic Trick: Take 2 Sheets of Carbon and Twist
First off, I'm sorry you live in Fremont. It's a cultural hellscape.

Secondly, you're right - it should actually take more than half of your take home pay.
What are you talking about, most of the advertising in those industries has nothing to do with whatever their lobbyist are doing. It's just menial PR shit like "Save 20% at United Healthcare", or "Work on cutting-edge technology at BP", or "Monsanto now offers consulting services to help you optimize your crop gains". Maybe once in a while they flash some statistic about how diverse their workforce is or whatever but most of it is just generic commercialism.

It's only really in the valley that companies think listing opinions that significant percentages of the country disagree with is a good way to build marketshare.
Well said, i am so frustrated for how much value american culture puts on work but not life for men. I think all Americans could benefit from a better balance between the two...
True, but it's also _very much_ being facilitated by advertising.
Which "same thing"? Not setting up editor and complex environment for the things I am only going to edit once or twice? Yes.

In general, when you see something inefficient, you can either fix it to make it better, or ignore and come up with random workarounds.

In my opinion, a config file which cannot be edited by hand, and which needs a special editor with non-trivial learning curve, is a inefficiency. I can either ignore it, and set up the specialized tools; or I can fix it, by ripping out XML and replacing it with something more human-editable, like TOML or YAML. In large teams, it is almost always better to fix it -- sure, I will spend a few hours getting rid of XML, but this will pay itself off in the long term, as no one else will have to bother with special setup anymore.

(This obvious only applies to the systems where XML is a minor part, like a single configuration file. If your system has huge amount of XML, you better learn the right tools)
I like that politicians can speak directly to the media—I just wish orgs like Twitter would apply their rules and guidelines fairly to everyone.

I'm starting to see these "rules" more like "laws," and starting to look more closely at how some of these platforms are governed in the same way I look at how governments are governed:

- Who makes the laws?
- How does one become a lawmaker?
- How long can one be a lawmaker?
- Who enforces the laws?
- How strong is the rule of law?
- What are the consequences of breaking a law?
- etc etc.

How does this analogy sit with you?
Then you are writing or auto generating these giant 1000s of lines long files with renames... why?

Why not? What's wrong with modifying your infotainment system for example?

People can put random android radios into their cars, and nobody cares. And code quality will probably be quite atrocious.
The full size Mavik drones benefit from having much more mass holding them against the wind. The amount of drone surface that interacts with the air scales roughly squared, and the mass scales roughly cubic.

A simpler way of stating it is that when you have a heavy drone and a light drone with the same thrust to weigh ratio, the heavier drone will be able to hold its position much easier than the lighter drone in a gust.
> Putting it on a blockchain doesn't magically remove responsibility.

I'm still kind of amazed that the government hasn't cracked down on bitcoin miners for hosting child pornography yet; every full node is hosting it. If the government ever wants to crack down on blockchains they have a valid legal excuse. The longer they go without cracking down, the more it seems like we as a society are accepting the existence of a censorship free medium of communication.

I'm not convinced that nobody else would host it. If they really made a blockchain anybody could post to it would seem difficult to stop other companies from making frontends for it.
