I don't even think that's controversial among accountants. My personal accountant agrees that for basic, wage-based income, and no further tax-related assets, he really shouldn't be used and his skills are more applicable to complex cases which require his time.
That’s exactly what the lists of “4375 school shootings this year!” are actually made of.

Someone in New Jersey shot a rat 2 blocks from a school - school shooting.

In the pseudo code in the readme just calculate the (square) distance between pleft and p and don't draw the line if the distance is larger than a given threshold. But this is not very efficient.
When you switch the loops this will be easier because this check can be done in the outer loop.

Former GE investor here - everything you've said is spot on.

Our modus operandi was that a growth equity investment should _never_ go to zero. The new portfolio thinking has shifted to the right: 1/3 make 1-2x, 1/3 make 2-3x, 1/3 make 3x or more.
I wonder how much more it would have gone down if Chile had a more equitable economic system.
You generally don't have ice in your beer. Because ice makes beer gross (I'd like to find the scientific reason why, but it just does). Soda and water are typically served with ice, and it is difficult to drink it without a straw. Especially crushed ice.

Now if you had a lid on the cup similar to car coffee mugs (where the top is indented with a small hole for the liquid to flow through), then that could be a solution for the straws.
Maybe Valve will then whitelist the DXVK binaries that they themselves provide. But compiling DXVK from source will surely result in a ban because there's just no way to check what has or hasn't been added to the drivers.
The good alternative is good matchmaking. My experience, is that cheaters usually aren't actually very good. They tend to use things like wall hacks and aim bots as a crutch. With good match making it doesn't really matter. They're going to be at your general level, so you've still got an even chance at winning the game.

And if the matchmaking is really good, then all the cheaters just end up playing with themselves, and there's even less impact on the general community. I could even see people ending up in separate "augmented" tiers, and then you don't even have to feel bad for being lower ranked. In fact, you could end up with bragging rights if you end up in the augmented tier because you look like an aim bot (I've played with players that were almost indistinguishable from aim bots).
Apparently, a lot of the positives are broadly overhyped because such hype and misrepresentation keep money in people's pockets, ventures overvalued, universities with a steady pipeline of warm bodies paying 40-50k a year, and a movement sustained. Apparently, you can't do this forever.
yes, I would go to Central before Fry's any day.

In fact, for my home-built machines, I typically buy them at Central, who will assemble the CPU, RAM, and Motherboard, showign that it POSTs (I've had plenty of times when I've purchased what I thought was a compatible group of hardware that wasn't).

Unfortunately this is not a likely explanation either. If you take a look at the wiki, it states that the intercept with our solar system is likely the only close encounter the asteroid has likely ever had.

This could also be explained by convergent evolution [1] where a similar trait was created by an independent evolutionary path.

Us foreigners could be forgiven for thinking the route between the two largest cities would have the busiest/most built up motorways :) I think the route via Flåm could certainly be considered "the scenic route", but my trip back was the most direct route per Google Maps.

I don't disagree that it's very difficult to build infrastructure! Every road must follow the contours of a fjord, or go over or through a mountain. I was very lucky to be able to drive the world's longest tunnel; I had read about it but honestly forgot about it until I made a left turn into a mountain and was perplexed as to how I could get to where I was going by driving into it.

Don't panic. As someone who's done this a few times, this is typical for non pure tech companies. Go looking for people in your company that are using the product or supporting it. Typically this will be customer/client services and potentially business operations. They should be able to talk to about what doesn't work, what works well, the workarounds that have been adopted, etc. You should also talk to account managers and marketing/sales to get a feel about what clients are asking for (what features are wanted, what's missing, major flaws). Do go hunting for old specs, wireframes etc since often these are floating around but not in a central location. I've been amazed at how often these show up AFTER I've finished wrapping up a project. Often these may be owned by other departments. Make sure to ask IT to not delete the old PM's accounts but give you access to their documents and email so you can try and find old docs and email threads about decisions.

Now for the good news. With the old PM gone, you now have a blank slate to make changes, you're not beholden to their old decisions.
Windows 10 was 6.4 for a time briefly too.
I mean, that's what the author is arguing for. That we need more evidence.

> Whereas the next time we see an object like this one, we can contemplate taking a photograph. My motivation, in part, is to motivate the scientific community to collect more data on the next object rather than argue a priori that they know the answer.

Basically, what's being said is: "Hey, all these things point to this and are explained by this, we need more data!"
I didn't know that. Very cool, thanks!
>Besides, why wouldn’t someone who’s great at what they do start a company?

That's such a baffling sentence that I don't really know where to start to unpack the assumptions that must have gone into it. If what someone is great at (or wants to do) has nothing to do with starting or running a company, why would they start a company?
Not really hacker related, but to improve at illustrations. I’d like to do it professionally one day. How about you?
Still, I don't like web development. I used Python/Django and Pharo/Teapot, and they were okay, but I would rather do any other kind of programming.
I've been dealing with that garbage since migrating my office to Windows 10. Each update, things would reinstall. Or scripts I used to automated uninstallation stopped working because they just change the game roster. Or various GPOs I used no longer worked if you merely had Windows 10 Pro, so I had to shell out for new Enterprise licenses.

I've really liked some things MS is doing recently, like VS Code. But the Windows team--I just don't understand what they're doing. They're treating an OS--an OS that's frequently used for serious business purposes and ought to be predictable and stable--like some startuppy web app that changes everyday according to the latest A/B test. It's infuriating.
I don't think you can compare two completely unknown probabilities and make those conclusions. We also know that life has evolved on ~20% of well-known planets in the "habitable zone," are there are believed to be about 4e10 such planets in our galaxy. Even with a proper equation improving on the Drake equation and taking into account more factors about the composition of such planets and stars, can we really believe there is no life? Furthermore, as a relatively young planet and an extremely young civilization on a cosmic timeframe, could we really be the most advanced in our galaxy? Even with near-current technology, a civilization could traverse galactic distances on a reasonable cosmic timeframe. Given these points and the strange evidence we are trying to make sense of, it seems like the most logical conclusion to me.

They formed a partnership, didn't last long: 2000-2002.

At the time I went there to look at their hardware prices, when I was contemplating building a replacement for my desktop Linux box, the only computer they had on the floor with an Internet connection was a Mac. I used it to do some quick price comparisons, then remembered Macs were UNIX too, and decided it was time to give Apple another try.
> Does it have a range more than 234? The 2012 Model S had a range of 265 miles.

I assume you're talking about EPA range, which in and of itself is problematic. The 2019 I-PACE is not comparable to the 2012 Model S. It's comparable to the 2019 Model X.

That said, recent software tweaks that Jaguar has made put its range at over 250 miles. This is even with Jaguar holding back a portion of the battery pack to prevent premature degradation. Comparing Jaguar's 2019 EV to its equivalent (class and price) 2019 EV from Tesla, it has more range.

> spends at most five minutes on his taxes every year

That is a dream come true. Honestly, I would just settle for competent government websites though. I had doing anything on federal or state websites because of the lack of information (they expect everyone already know what to do without explanation), links that should lead to more information but are just broken links that lead to nowhere, or links to forms that are broken and link to nowhere. On top of that you can rarely call in for anything because they think their website can handle everything and will typically just tell you to go there (either by person or prompt). On top of that you need a separate login for every government service website and need to fill out the same information on each site (just like you need to with every new doctor you visit in the US, form after form, all the same questions).

The solution is to educate the patients so that they demand this sort of data driven analysis from their doctors.

If such a product existed I would use it continually and challenge my doctors when they contradict it. If patients aren't educated and care, health professionals won't care enough to purchase it.
They'll make it work.

Despite the mockery and we work drama I reckon their all or nothing strategy is sound. If this project fails it'll probably be concurrent with a SV collapse in which case does it even matter?

If you're gonna take risks that involve catastrophic failure anyway you might as well bet big on upside
Electrolytically produced hydrogen is super expensive... not because the energy is expensive but because the electrolysis equipment is expensive (particularly if you decide to run it only when there's "free" electricity). Hopefully that changes, but it'll ironically probably require batteries to get super cheap so you can run the electrolysis equipment 24/7.

According to Khronos, OpenGL is still the API to go when one doesn't want to deal with Vulkan boilerplate.

Instead every newbie has to go through the challenge of creating their own little engine.

My advocacy is based on real experience, having been IGDA member, attending a couple GDCE and Design School meetups, having had the opportunity to visit a couple of well known AAA studios.

So I have enough hours talking with such devs to know what they care about.

Being religious about 3D APIs is usually not on their agendas, rather getting customers, turning game ideas into IP that they can explore across various commercial channels, consulting opportunities porting game engines, how to take advantage of "whales" and such stuff.
Many other countries already do that, I guess because they don't have Intuit lobbying the hell out of them.

Wow, that looks like what most places look like after a couple weeks of 'going out of business' sales, when they start selling shelves, light fixtures, desks, trash cans and the like.
You're not that far off. If you took the Alexa Top 100k sites and display some kind of indication whenever a page isn't on that list you would be able to stop the most obvious phishing attempts. Google has a Safe Browsing Extension which, as its first steps, checks the 15k most common sites or so. If you tailor these lists to specific countries I'd wager you can get away with even fewer entries.

There's other tricks that scammers pull though, like compromising legitimate domains with a certain reputation and then adding their scammy subdomains, but that's a lot harder to pull off than just registering 100 free domains everyday and hoping one sticks.

And there's your answer. Microsoft has become infected with these kind of people and they're fucking up Windows 10. The situation hasn't been fixed because attention is on more profitable portions of the business like Azure.

Whenever someone asked me what language or framework they should use to build their project, my default answer is "whatever you are familiar with". The honest truth is that for the vast majority of applications I have seen, the risk is in building the wrong thing or getting wrapped around an axle trying to figure new technology out, not choosing an old boring technology that won't scale.

Total layman here, but I recall reading somewhere that black holes may “shoot” matter back out into space. If that’s correct, would that be a possible explanation?
Not really conclusive for several reasons.

The Canada numbers include teenagers (persons aged 12+) while the US ones do not (persons aged 18+).

Also, the Canada numbers went from 13% (lower than the reported US rate) in 2015 to 15.1% (higher than the US rate) in 2017. That 13 to 15.1% increase over two years seems to be a statistical anomaly as it goes sharply against the overall trend (according to your source):

"Despite the overall prevalence increase in the most recent survey year, from 1999 to 2017, the overall trend was an average annual decrease in prevalence of 3.2% of the previous year’s value"

TLDR; the average over the last several years is more or less the same.
These days less than $300 (close to $200 in some cases) will buy you 2TB of SSD.

we'll use new framework press releases as a distraction.
- The new “Uber for X”-type trend will be ”Figma for X”. Just as Ajax enabled the web to compete with MS Office, WebAssembly and WebGL will produce viable competitors to CPU-bound desktop software.

- Cryptocurrencies (by today's definition, i.e. proof-of-work stores of value that spiritually descend from the Satoshi paper) won't revolutionize finance. Bitcoin and Etherium end the decade down from the start. Libra is either vaporware or launches but remains niche.

Where do you ever need 1 instead of -1? If you are using it to increment something, -1 is just as good. Storing a bool value in memory is rarely done, vs. using and discarding it. But in use, having a value to AND with, without need to dink around first, makes a big difference, particularly when cmov instructions are lacking.

If the cost of negating before storing got to seem excessive, a single negate-and-store-word instruction could translate, but it would be used a very great deal less than negating the 1 to make a mask.

However simple it looks to decode the thicket of compare-and-branch instructions, decoding and executing exactly one conditional branch instruction that just checks for zero will be simpler and faster.

You still have the SET family to decode, but you need them anyway.
Many cheating tools actually render to a secondary back-buffer. Much more convenient for the cheater, because they can even live-stream their play and everything will look clean.

It's usually not that difficult to hook the DirectX binding calls to bind an additional G-buffer, because games tend to do render to multiple G-buffer targets already for things like post-processing reflections, depth of field or motion blur. Then you patch the shaders to write the info you want/need to your new G-buffer. The game will continue to work with its (unmodified) G-buffers while you can work with your (invisible to the game) private buffer. In a gist, that's how you invisibly collect aimbot hitboxes using DXVK.

The last step then would be to smoothly nudge the player's aim onto your detected hitbox. Depending on how you do that, it may or may not be detect-able, not even to onlookers.

So the only real protection is to block the data collection in the first place, which means you need to block any kind of virtualization and any kind of 3rd party graphics API drivers, such as home-compiled DXVK binaries.
>I think people are being a little too hard on the author. Startups in healthcare are hard.
