Oh, I know - I meant it rhetorically basically. If the last grocery store failed I'm not likely to think it's a good idea to start another.

And I suppose I do feel a bit clever (though in my case it's a ~500 sqft house on a few acres - quirky and cheap) but mostly am just angry that the city decided it was OK to add thousands and thousands and thousands of good jobs and ~0 homes.
Also it meant that the owners of UK assets had the best possible valuation of those assets. Those asset owners were significant in the calculations of the tory party, for some reason.

Definitely. The various transforms are useful for many things besides control. Although control is an important one.
You could add timing difference to individual lasers as necessary. It's not really more complicated than duplicating the laser setups and feeding them the same signal with time delays. Not a huge step.

However, non-coplanar mics would work for the opposite reason: If they are on different sides of the device, you couldn't reach all of them from the same distant location. So unless all mics receive (more or less) similar sound signals, you could discard it as manipulation.
This is reported in Gittalk (a high impact platform for Chinese IT workers). I admire the transparency. The issue can't be solved by a company alone. Practically there might be workaround but it's up to the employer..

Which clause of which act, or which executive order specifically prevent Gitlab from recruiting non-enemy state person?
Not where it should -- to the customers who got screwed.
That's a really great question.

Honestly? If you're asking that question, I'd say that you shouldn't. Instead, you should see a therapist or counselor.

The reason for this is that one of the primary things a good therapist does for you is to teach you how to do that, and what to do with the insights a self-evaluation gives you.

Seeking a therapist is not something that should be limited to people who are in crisis, and is not a commitment to lifelong therapy. Any good therapist will be thrilled to hear that you want to see them to learn how to evaluate and manage your mental health.

Where do you think PG&E's money to pay for legal judgements currently comes from?

Tax/rate payers are paying in either scenario. Private ownership just means shareholders manage to siphon off some of the money in dividends before the lawsuits.
He doesn't benefit at all from $F going up because he's written call options on his entire stock position.

the boomer can always refinance to the 3% - not sure what you are getting at here.
I think the attitude to Settings resembles a lot of the attitude to the Office Ribbon switch. Just about no one uses more than roughly 20% of Control Panel/Settings, but just about everyone uses a slightly different 20%, so even just defining what's "basic functionality" is fraught with a wide variety of subjective opinions.

> How do you pass that into a function that can receive a pointer to foo, but does not require it?

Same as you would have a function that can receive an `int` but does not require it. Or a receive a `std::vector` but does not require it.

I surmise that you mean "how do you pass any value (pointer or otherwise) into a function that can receive a value but does require it". And I surmise you have before used pointer indirection to pass that value because it has a conventional sentinel value of 0/NULL/nullptr.

You are correct in that optional values did not have a standardized solution, until C++17 std::optional.

If you don't have C++17, I recommend one of the equivalent third-party implementations:

Pressed pills in a sealed blister pack coming from a large pharma company in India is hardly "just like" the black market.

To be honest, their return policy is still awesome. You can return things after a whole year of use. They changed it because people were abusing the return policy and treating it like a rental.

It makes sense that they stopped offering a lifetime policy. 1 year is still generous. They also offer price adjustments up to 2 weeks after purchase (if a sale starts, for example).

Looking at the data, the best estimates peg student loans to be consolidated to ~10-12% of the US 18+ population.

> Well, for a while Whole Foods was accepting payment by Bitcoin. That means if you know Whole Foods' Bitcoin account number...

They wouldn't have just one "account number". Standard practice is to use a different address for each transaction, both for privacy and for increased security. (An attacker only has the public key hash to work from for any unspent transactions, not the full public key.) Now, these funds would probably be consolidated into a smaller number of holding accounts, and you might be able to deduce some other likely payments to Whole Foods by looking at which inputs were combined together in later transactions, but obtaining their complete ledger is nowhere near as simple as looking at one payment to Whole Foods and finding all the other transactions involving the same address.

> Unfortunately there are two problems with this ad. First, by relying on text without including visual descriptions, LEGO made their announcement inaccessible to the very people these bricks are intended for. Second, this product already exists.

If you think about it, LEGO isn’t informing consumers about a new product that can be purchased. The ad can’t even be experienced by the very people these bricks are intended for. LEGO was virtue signaling.

Make time to talk to your SO almost every day. When I lived half a world away, I called each morning during the week since her wakeup time was shortly before my bedtime.

The `some` keyword declares an opaque result type ([0]), which means "this function has a concrete return type, but the identity of that type is a hidden implementation detail." An opaque result type can be used like a generic type -- the compiler doesn't know the exact type, but it does know that calls to the function will always return the same type (which is important when working with protocols such as `Equatable` that have associatedtype or Self requirements).

A `some`-typed variable or stored property wouldn't make any sense because it would be a variable that has a concrete but unknown type. You can't assign something to such a variable, because there's no way to know whether the value you're trying to assign matches the hidden concrete type of the variable.

Perhaps the "automatic type-erasure" feature you're wanting is actually generalized existentials ([1])? Generalized existentials would allow you to declare a variable whose type can be "any Equatable", rather than "some (specific but unknown) Equatable", and the compiler would allow you to "open" the existential and use it like a generic type (without throwing the "protocol can only be used as a generic constraint because it has Self or associatedtype requirements" error).

> Gold mining is quite destructive; environmentalists should ...

If it makes you feel better, it is common for gold to be found as an enriched layer sitting on top of a copper deposit. So a big chunk of gold mining isn't gold-for-gold's sake, it is something mined on the way to a much more practical substance - copper.

Actual gold mines doing environmental damage are a thing (cyanide ahoy!) but the footprint is small and hopefully not important.
Thanks. Is there a pattern for array access that helps with my example? Is the only option to define your own safe access function like "function safeGetFromArray<T>(array: T, index:number): T | undefined"?

I haven't tried it yet but it looks like the new optional element access feature is only checking if the array itself is defined, not if the array index is defined.
The decision to run ads for money is itself highly political: it completely undermines the idea of free competition of ideas solely on their merits by heavily advantaging those ideas backed by money.

And if a lie can win out over the truth, this would be the mechanism that does it. It is certainly not coherent to complain about a "mob" "shouting" down an idea while trying to out shout them through money.

The points on monopoly are valid and serious. But the focus on a single de-facto monopoly, Facebook, undermines and muddles the point.

There are other de-facto and even real monopolies in broadcast media that are more influential and far more restrictive in content, Sinclair for one. I can not see how one could coherently oppose Facebook's de-facto monopoly while ignoring others that are actual monopolies, unless we make some arbitrary distinction on the technology used: radio and TV can monopolize but not web based technologies.

And lest one think that there are orders of magnitude difference between the TV/radio monopolies and Facebook, I will point out that:

1 We (the users of this site) are self selecting technologists and are much more focused on web issues while being far less dependent on non-web based media than the vast bulk of the population.

2 The intentional effects of broadcast monopolies on voting patterns are so large as to be easily measurable. Facebook's intentional influence, if it even exists, is certainly not obvious.

3 Twitter is in fact only read by a tiny segment of the population: The number of US man-hours spent listening to talk radio on monopoly owned stations vastly exceeds the number spent on Twitter where at least there is some possibility of accidentally seeing a contrary opinion.

So yes monopolizing is a serious problem and desperately needs fixing and it is vastly wider than web.
It may be priced in the stock if other traders have the same logic.

If you think it's a good investment thesis, a better strategy would be to build a portfolio where you go long on a basket of stocks with "not too many female execs" and another, offsetting, short basket of stocks with "too many female execs". If you do that properly, you should be able to almost entirely eliminate market and industry risk and basically "amplify" your investment thesis.
Legal drugs would create vast incentives for R&D and fentanyl would have likely happened sooner - but it doesn't matter.

Fenatnyl largely ends the debate on 'full legalisation' - there are just far too many things that are 'fun close to death' beyond even that.

Everything will have to be taken case by case: micro dots I can see happening. Maybe coca leaves - unprocessed.

But beyond that it's just too hard to regulate reasonably - it's one of those interesting and undeniable cases of community vs. individual freedoms: just as there are super conscientious folks who can 'handle there stuff' there are far, far too many who cannot.

I live in a mixed neighbourhood across fro a social clinic and this experience has been enlightening. To me, the freedom opportunity is simply not worth the extensive social cost.

Decriminalise, change how we think about it surely, but there's no avoiding the general 'war' on controlled substances at scale.

Just look at Juul and vaping, it's absolutely rocked in popularity, spreading through youth culture to the point where it's really a fundamental behaviour, and therefore concern. And that's just nicotine.

I'd be nice to find a way to sort out the reasonable folks from the rest ... but I'm not sure this is going to happen in our lifetimes.
It's fantastic. Over the last couple of years I think I've integrated our system with at least 10 different payment providers and Stripe's just works. The most useful thing for us though is that their test system works flawlessly. The amount of payment providers I've integrated with now where the test system is totally different / unusable compared to their production system... ugh.
Well, we're talking about a US company right now.

Then the state at present is changing hundreds of times a day, without being centrally visible, via runtime query or configuration service. Seems like it would be hard to retrospectively analyze what could connect to what. Maybe consider a permissive system, that allows a service code change to change the connectivity graph without a review step, but centrally logs the change; another service can supervise what's happening, and alert if strange things happen. It would help to have a system for categorising service types; the graph properties of the system might be useful for understanding that. Looking at service changes in terms of graph properties, like edit distance, can also be useful.

Are you implying the regulators forced PG&E to be awful? Or that they allowed PG&E to be awful?

If the former, I'd like to know how you came to that conclusion. If the later, that doesn't mean the regulators are worse.

I'm not saying I'm pro-regulator or think PG&E should be bought out. I just am perplexed by your comment.

Maybe this is my uninformed opinion but I think the state should own the poles at least. Pole real estate is a natural monopoly that we subsidize anyway and it empowers existing entities to stifle new competition. It also makes sense to me that such a thing should be tied to city planning.

In a perfect world power consumers and producers can just buy and sell into the marketplace as provided through the public lines. That's a long ways off because the grid just isn't that smart but maybe one day we'll get there.

> How weird. Who wants to install an OS without being able to verify the image seal? Downloading through HTTPS may be MITM'ed, or the image replaced on the server.

While it should be fixed I think your overstating the importance here.

99.999% of the world doesn't care about that; No one who installed Windows verified the image. No one who installed macOS verified the image. No one who gets a notebook from a store verifies the install. Let alone everyone who runs stuff in the cloud on a VM, those people have no way at all to verify the OS they are actually running.

>misincentives that encourage people to shift value around rather than producing value

Isn't that just capitalism? Useless financial operations (shifting value around) are richly rewarded, as opposed to "producing value", which gets scraps as low as the market will bear. You can work your ass off making furniture for 4 decades, you will earn as much as an "investor" does in one week.
Actually suing PG&E is not so nice. Costs just get shifted to recipients of PG&E's service. We need to charge the PG&E executives with criminal negligence and recover capital distributions that occurred while PG&E was neglecting its infrastructure.

My takeaway from this is that austerity is not a government level solution. That works for smaller players (even corporations) within a larger system, but at the level of system where a whole economy's possible size of pie is defined by laws and regulations cutting back only wastes the potential of the resources within.

I speculate that a better measure is to direct efforts towards wise expenditures. Seek to focus the economy on things that will be of benefit when done, with a focus on long term positive value to the economy and the quality of life for all.

No, GCC and clang are fully ABI compatible (modulo bugs of course). Libstc++ and libc++ are not, so use whatever is the standard library of your platform (i.e the default for calng and GCC) and things work fine.
Ogre got a bit of a critical review from Mike Acton a few years ago along those lines and since I believe they have re-architected things quite a bit. So I'm not sure from what version your comments apply, it is more performant now than it used to be.

It might not be the engine to use if you want to make Doom5, but some of the best selling games of all time of have been made in Java, or older versions of Unity, which have more performance limitations than Ogre.

Correct, the model has a fixed vocabulary set at train-time. However, we can benefit from the fact that the distribution of queries in most search systems follows the Zipfian distribution. That means we can capture the vast majority of queries that are ever issued in a fixed vocabulary. Daily retraining helps us pick up new queries outside of the vocabulary.

Yes there is, you can either use as const or define the type as a tuple:

const x = [1,2] as const;
//const x: [number, number] = [1,2];
const y = x[666];//Tuple type 'readonly [1, 2]' of length '2' has no element at index '666'.
const z = y + 3;//Object is possibly 'undefined'.

Both versions will error the same.
Had the same problem getting the same antibiotic. Going locally resulted in unnecessary tests as you describe without luck. With me it started with a positive hydrogen breathe test at a naturalpath. Based on those results I went the telemedicine route and said my np recommended an antibiotic. I got lucky and got it filled twice but had to repeatly try but the provider I used didn't charge unless you accepted the prescription.

At the end I still needed more but gave up. Going starch free helped more.
I feel really excited about 3.7. Optional chaining and null coalescing will clean up a TON of code.
