Strange. Why do sports interfere with politics?

The IOC wants to punish Russia and not the atletes, Why don't they allow for or facilitate independent doping testing then and only rely on RUSADA?

Doesn't the flag and anthem belong to the people?

(I am getting down votes for having a different opinion, but the US flag doesn't belong just to the Whitehouse administration either, right?)
Join us on our new journey: Wunderlist to be shutdown May 6th, 2020
A box truck or minivan is much less conspicuous than an RV, especially in areas where it's common for people to park overnight.
The issue here is just like how when a country gets older and wealthier, everything starts to cost more. It's not surprising.

We created a country where education started to be widely available and financially supported for a large fraction of the people. What do you expect would happen as more people get educated then? Companies wouldn't use a commonly available criterion to weed out who they want? Or develop technology that takes advantage of large numbers of educated workers?

In the evolution of our demography and economic history too, this is no surprise. We're no longer in a post-war growth phase where any warm body was suitable for filling the basic jobs necessary to fuel our growing economy. Other countries are in that phase, we are not. We have low growth, and for someone to stand out and get hired is now a higher bar. Our labor is expensive, so complicated equipment and automation gets used. And there's an educated workforce to operate it.

What company wouldn't use some available criterion to choose people of with more productive/reliable attributes? College degree is available, it's a not unreasonable proxy.

It's inevitable.
Silicon Valley is full of new grads. People routinely make Senior in two years; at some companies, there's something wrong if you go more than two years between promotions (e.g. you must be senior by four years).

Ten years is Senior Staff / Principal territory.
The problem with geoip is that the free services will never be as good as the paid services, and the paid ones aren't all that accurate either.

For just about every geoip use case, there is a better solution. Namely, almost every modern phone and desktop is capable of providing it's location, and is more accurate than any geoip database.

The main issue is that people can make their device lie about it's location, so if you're using geoip for security (say you're a streaming service) then that's about the only valid use case, and that only exits because studios still want to live in a world where borders matter.

What do you imagine would be the incentive for users to use later-generation alternatives, rather than BTC?
I feel like a lot of this labor is generated by the fact that most kids in america can't go run out and play with other kids in the neighbourhood anymore.

Your 7 year old would not be asking for you to endlessly watch her cartwheel and interact with her out of bordem. They would be out playing 24/7 in the local forest, come back for food and boo-boos, be back before dark and be in bed a couple of hours after dinner / night time with an 8 or 9pm sleep time and a 6am wake time.

Kids were not meant to be a lot of work, our society makes them a lot of work.
"One side effect of “the end of babies”—or, less dramatically, the steady decline in fertility rates around the world—is that today’s parents spend more time and money on the few kids they do have."

Might that be a cause of declining fertility rates rather than a side-effect of it?

To me it seems pretty logical that some parents in a position to use birth-control to limit the size of their families would decide to do so, given the costs of child care.
Increase model performance by removing data
In the c# I dislike the extra mental load of having to work out which rules apply to the lexical thing I see being manipulated in the code. If I see references being assigned in Java I can tell that that's the case just by looking at the code. In c# I have to see the definition of the objects to tell what semantics are being expressed by the syntax. Likewise, with properties in c# a straightforward field assignment can be pretty much anything which means again, innocent looking code can be misleading and the only way to know is to read the definitions.
Java is simpler to read and I value that.
This is interesting when compared to Los Angeles, I think the Bay Area and LA are similar in terms of the sprawl but one is thought of as a single city and the other is not.
It’s rather interesting the whistleblower is married to one of the affected athletes. They reached the decision that whistleblowing was the best option. I believe they now live in the US due to fear of reprisal from back home.
Southwestern Ohio here. Sesame Street depressed me as a kid. I made sure to keep it away from my children because of that.

Could never out my finger on it but thinking back to my short time watching that show makes me cringe.

The only shows I remember enjoying as a kid were Falcons Crest and Dukes of Hazard...and Three's Company. Perhaps I wasn't supervised properly.
civic participation and community organization
One MAC per port is very low yield, won’t do anything to stop even a mildly sophisticated attacker, and often just makes life more difficult than it needs to be. Especially for a college network where any notion that the general network is “secure” is a complete joke.
But most adults do spend most of their waking time with 30+ other adults (at a point in life when the differences between ages start to flatten out quite a bit). It looks quite analogous to me.
This is a really cool idea. Thanks for sharing this. I will definitely give it a go if you have postgres.
Never heard abou Everlane. Looks nice.
The question is how do we know what they claim is true? There are some certificate authorities for example but i am not sure we have this stuff figured out as society.
I have the old free g suite.

You mention keyboard shortcuts. That’s trivial to replicate with Firefox’ MAC with any web interface.

Web clients are not important.
I’d be inclined to believe she understood that.
Zing by Azul is very cool from what I've heard engineers talk about as well as marketing, though it being a proprietary beast definitely affects people considering using Java over Go.

I think you are more thinking of associate professionals

And back in the day the entry requirements for Advanced apprentices where high - more stringent than Nursing or direct entry to a bank
Then explain San Diego. Salaries here are notoriously low, even in the tech industry. I know nurses in the Bay Area that pull down 2x what an experienced tech worker makes here. And while housing is cheaper, you still can't get anything reasonable for under 600k.

I'm baffled that SD made it on the list.

Problem-Solving for New Software Developers
Unfortunately for those of us who want to parent this way, we risk having the authorities called on us, because the other parents watch too much local news.

It's much safer to be a kid now than when I was growing up, but the news makes it seem like it isn't. I would let my seven year old walk to the park by herself, 1/2 a mile away, if I wasn't afraid of having the cops show up.

When I take her to the park now, I let her play on the structure about 100 yards away, within my line of sight. And still adults will come up to her and ask her where her mommy and daddy are.
As with Uber and medallions, the increasing popularity of craft breweries able to operate with an inexpensive license has led to some big legislative battles. The Montana Tavern Association (MTA, liquor license holders) try to crush the craft breweries every legislative session. They have limited the taphouses to some extent: they can only serve four pints per person per day and they have to close at 8 PM. Also similar to Uber vs taxi drivers the general public likes the breweries and the MTA struggles to maintain a popular image while trying to legislate away erosion of their license values.
I can say from experience, many. It's why this kind of visibility is good: it incentivizes better enforcement by Google.
A Transformative Climate Report for Transformational Times
Can't think of any practical utility... But it's a cool idea.
Because Bitcoin is (at least theoretically) a currency. You're comparing it to a commodity or store of value.

The power of a currency is the ability to trade it for goods and services. If that is no longer happening with Bitcoin it has morphed into something else entirely.
> While Inmos and the transputer did not achieve this expectation, the transputer architecture was highly influential in provoking new ideas in computer architecture, several of which have re-emerged in different forms in modern systems.

I have a vague sense that there's a rich vein of potential projects and maybe businesses in "before their time" ideas in the world of computing.
Oh, that.

Weird that it didn't complain during building or installation.

Anyway I had one project where I couldn't use `async` `await`, because apparently this feature requires Babel 7, which in turn requires a version of node fresh enough to support generators.

This tends to happen, but it's rare to discover such an issue only after starting the application.
On options maybe.
That could be the same gold being traded multiple times per day. What % of all gold extracted from the ground is traded annually?
> When Mr. Hooper died and they tell a confused Big Bird, he's not coming back is one of the saddest moments in TV.

IMO, this alone is worthy of the black bar, not to mention delighting and educating 3 generations of kids over a span of 50 years.
That's one of the standard metrics to judge any currency. Bitcoin is not advertised as an asset but as a digital currency. But it has clearly become primarily an asset, given the minimal uses of it as a currency.
You can google any ticker symbol and find the volume relative to the outstanding shares.
Women entered the workforce in response to a societal and social ideal and not based on the free market (outside of severe labor shortages during WW2). Of course it has a direct impact on wages and quality of life for everyone.

Bubble sort is the first one I learned, so I remember it the best. I never spent any time comparing any of the O(n^2) sorts so it never occurred to me to try a different one.
> The IOC wants to punish Russia and not the atletes, Why don't they allow for or facilitate independent doping testing then.

That's exactly what they're doing. The third sentence in the article:

Russian athletes will be allowed to compete in major
events only if they are not implicated in positive doping
tests or if their data was not manipulated, according to
the WADA ruling.
I really should re-read some books. Thanks!
LN has some fundamental issues with regards to security that I don't have time to go into there. However any L2 protocol based on BTC is going to have a hard time getting bootstrapped for the simple reason that there isn't enough throughout in the mainnet to transfer a sufficient amount of balance to a second layer. With the UTXO pool fragmented as is I don't think there is much hope of improvement.
Living on a farm in the Swedish countryside with 1Gbit/1Gbit fiber I'll probably make you even more jealous...
All API calls return "Your credentials are incorrect."

This seems to be a fairly regular issue for them, with intermittent errors such as this, but from my memory of using their services, this may be the longest event since a few years.
I've never owned or traded bitcoin, but as I understand it the main attraction is that it's like the gold standard (of course for people who don't understand why the gold standard was a bad idea).
> why haven't Linux vendors standardized on a single package manager that is the default for ALL Linux distros?

The two distro package managers that "matter" (apt and rpm) are similar enough that this isn't a problem in practice. You can have fpm spit out a deb or rpm or arch pkg with just one flag change, and host it on your own website.

The real differences aren't just mechanical packaging differences, but more a question of philosophies, there are a lot of differences in upstream distro packaging policies themselves. Debian isn't going to let you upload it directly unless it is a good citizen on their distro, stays up-to-date with their versions of all dependencies (so that you only end up with one python, libjpeg etc on your system) and is certifiably free software down to the bones. Whereas Arch will take literally anything in the AUR, and the fast way into CentOS is to be employed by RH (paraphrasing).

(I tried to package a certain app in RPM, but it turns out that OpenSuSE and CentOS have different names for the tzdata package, and until very recently rpm didn't even have a system for specifying alternate dependencies.)
We hired about 5 new people in the past 2 years, some were still in college. The roles are junior developers or application managers. 2 were interns.
At the same time, I cannot fill in 2 positions of qualified DBA's for almost one year. That makes the posting for experienced DBA's to stay longer on sites, giving the impression that we hire a lot of experienced people and no freshmen. Not true at all.

People on the internet probably have a better background in statistics than you since you're suggesting your hypothesis using one qualitative sample based entirely on your memory with no variance or power calculations can be used to infer anything about the general population. You're just stating an opinion which leads to pointless rebuttals.
Psychadellics allow you to revalue things, if you use that opportunity to group think with a subculture instead of finding your own better values then that is more of an issue with the user than the psychadellics effects in general.
> To that end, the present paper proposes that Congress assemble and award to a select set of metropolitan areas a major package of federal innovation inputs and supports that would accelerate their innovation-sector scale-up. Along these lines, we envision Congress establishing a rigorous competitive process by which the most promising eight to 10 potential growth centers would receive substantial financial and regulatory support for 10 years to become self-sustaining new innovation centers. Such an initiative would not only bring significant economic opportunity to more parts of the nation, but also boost U.S. competitiveness on the global stage.

"Potential growth centers" sounds promising.
Leadership is not entitled to the trust of their team. It must be earned. There's no reason for people to put themselves on the line for leadership that, statistically, will most likely not reciprocate.

Also, the paragraph about "rock management" was entirely unjustified and un-called-for. You appear to have confused GP with someone else.
Humans are social animals. Those silly side effects of school, "having fun together and bonding" with people outside of your family, are critical to growing up to be a well-adjusted adult who can maintain relationships and friendships - which are ultimately the things that make life worthwhile.
I don't have studies but my experience of those who excel in leetcode is that they suck at system design and good programming practices - largely because they focused on leetcode to the exclusion of all else. They "hacked" the programming interview.

And while hacking the programming interview does demonstrate grit and persistence, it doesn't demonstrate actual programming skills. The worst part though is that it generates a mindset that "good programming skills" means "even more advanced leetcode".

I don't begrudge these people. A set of absurd incentives was put in place and they reacted to them accordingly.

It isn't good for Google either. The hires that came after this philosophy have achieved very little of note. The vast majority of post Gmail abject project failures have been built in house while the successes (maps, android) were bought.
> Everyone wants to pay less for everything, and will shop around and haggle and negotiate to find the best deal. I don't see how that alone is a problem, if you get an offer and the salary is lower than you want to work for, don't take it.

The issue is that you can’t even get your foot in the door to haggle. And even if you get an offer, you’re not guaranteed a better one even if you think you’re “worth more”.

We just went through the process of finding childcare for our infant. Originally, we were going to have my wife's parents move in to help, but her father was suddenly diagnosed with lung cancer, forcing us to scramble for child care. With my wife's student loans, it wouldn't be prudent for her to not work.

Childcare costs more than twice as much as our mortgage. We live in a blue state where many businesses feel compelled to pay $15/hour for unskilled labor. We interviewed child care providers who wanted $18-$22 per hour with no certifications, degrees, or training. We looked at au pairs, but the agencies all wanted $8k-$10k up front with no guarantees.
Everywhere that has a law against semi-automatics that are easy to convert to machine guns will treat your electronic bullpup as a machine gun. So you won't be making a gun you can sell a semi-automatic version of to civilian gun people. Which pretty much leaves only military or law enforcement markets, which are even more biased towards simple, cheap and reliable over high-tech unless you have a really compelling benefit to offer.
37% of the American population between 25 to 34 has a Bachelor's degree now. The subset of people who are literate and conscientious, but do not have a degree has become vanishingly small in recent decades.

This is a horrible and vicious feedback loop, but it's hard to blame the employers, who are actually being fairly rational about their use of a BS degree as a filter (it's the new HS diploma). The blame lies at the feet of an uncontrolled government loan policy that has given the BS this new status.

College is eating years of our lives and is transferring vast amounts of middle class wealth to the education sector of the economy. In the US, it's probably the greatest misallocation of resources outside of our health industry.
I was born in Montana. I lived in Montana. That restaurant probably hasn't made a profit in 30 years and they are asking $250k for it.

This is the difference between project-based learning and standardized testing.

When you learn through projects your ability to apply concepts is tested by the results you generate, connecting to our intrinsic motivations.

Standardized testing is, functionally a disease. Check out “DIY University” to see the effect it has on society long-term.

If you think projects can’t be the path to teaching highly abstract disciplines, such as physics, check out “Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman.”

“Most Likely to Succeed” is probably the best book written on this topic.

I spent 10 years as an edtech entrepreneur. It is hard to overstate the degree to which we have built a Testing system at the expense of an educational one.
Link is John Gruber's daringfireball.net as the original (full) article is paywalled.
If we extend the scenario from
hombre_fatal's example to include IP spoofing like in that wikipedia article you linked, you end up with

IP: <Heroku's load balancer addr>

X-Forwarded-For: <Spoofed addr>, <Real user addr>, <Cloudflare addr>

So you either need to know the number of proxies that you trust that are in between you and the user, or you need to know the IP addresses of those trusted proxies, in order to determine which parts of X-Forwaded-For to trust.

To be fair, most languages don't maintain backward binary compatibility.

In fact, this is so common that some package managers don't even bother distributing binaries: go modules, cargo, conan, etc.
I've been thinking on this for some time. Quick sorts for my use might be by date for one, by url (base domain) for another, common found terms within urls (news, product, etc)

then start looking at other tags, terms within the pages, stuff like that. But just having the quick sorts and exports on those above would make it more manageable.
A sane introduction to maximum likelihood estimation and MAP
My view is that 99% of jobs are either unnecessary or replacable.

Heck, even when we talk about Newton's discoveries , other people on similar stuff at the time and would have gotten there.

And if it's 99%, why not let the family choose which parent stays with the kid ?

Combine that with paying really well to trully important jobs.

You'll get reasonably good results with that.
