Cars are literally designed to collapse in a crash. It's what the crumple zones are for. The passenger compartment is a protected space and the rest of the car collapses to absorb as much energy as possible. This means that the accelerations experienced by the occupants are less, reducing the chance of serious injury.

Typical SUVs (excluding more modern car-chassis based ones) use body on frame construction - the chassis of the car is a big and heavy steel ladder. It doesn't have the same crash performance - even though it may look less damaged, the accelerations experienced by the passengers are greater.

When there's a miss, send the domain to the server so that it can fill the cache. You probably won't even have to do that as DDG could have already filled the cache with their search results.
I think what angered people was actually that a company saying to hold privacy high was simply refusing to change something after a mistake was pointed out and instead kept on defending it with a technical argument, which makes no sense at all.

The reaction would have been actually a lot different if someone from the company admitted the mistake and promised it will be changed.

I was astonished by this at first, but I think you must mean "you're sending all searches performed with bangs to DDG". I worried that you meant somehow the browser search history was being sent to DDG, but that seems impossible.
I like to think you can still make a fast site by sticking to the basics; write plain static HTML and CSS, avoid JS, craft your images specifically for the site, and put it behind a decent webserver with compression enabled. I'm sure Pagespeed rewards HTTPS and HTTP/2 support as well but that's webserver config.
It saddens me, that one of Pythons strengths - its C extensions - appear as a weakness in this context.
The culprit is, that we perceive python as 'what you can DO through python' - which is a very reasonable perspective.
But precisely python's useful boosting through C extensions, also anchors it to its friends.
So, it's the old conundrum of what goes into a language core, versus what api library environment it lives in.

> There's now more good new research being published than I could ever read. Researchers need to adapt to that by reducing friction.

That's encouraging to hear from at least someone since it doesn't meet my experience. What I rather see in the few fields I still care about is that we're flooded with a mass of unoriginal and uninspired papers, many using a ML approach, where the purpose is clearly to get graduation or tenure rather than advancing the state of the art. It's happening to a degree that even assessing the major contributions in a field and separating me-too publication from the few original and foundational works has become impossible, similar to how general web search has become pointless. I'm all for free access, but 1. major works have always been published as author's copies with free public access 2. I really don't see any advancement in scientific quality at all as academic achievements are becoming just stepping stones and academic institutions career networks more than anything else.

I think what Ghost (as you mention) is trying to do here with v 3.0 is interesting - seems to have most or all of the features of Substack - easy to set up on their hosted option plus full ownership of the email list and open source / potentially self hosted.

Interesting that "The Browser" is on Substack (one of the top 5 newsletters) but the affiliated and more recent "The Viewer" is on Ghost.

Of course Ghost still has a relatively small ecosystem compared to Wordpress which I think is why Ben Thompson still expressed a preference for a Wordpress based setup.

Yes, but chastising an employee is not in the interest of good PR, even if we sadly see that quite often in the days of social media. That is especially true if the employee just honestly laid out the facts, I wouldn't even call that a mistake.

I use DDG and the possibility of getting a statement directly from an engineer conveys much more trust than a carefully crafted PR statement ever could. I would think again about using it if the company does indeed come down on employees that live the values the company writes on its flags to have honest and transparent business practices.

That said, I am careful too when I state things about my company, even if I believe there is nothing to hide. Still, people that think it isn't the place for others with knowledge to comment are often not too impressive and would have difficulties in convincing me that privacy and transparency are real goals instead of just looking decent enough.

Furthermore the naming of management of DDG creates a stark contrast to the suggestion for more professional distance. I don't like PR very much as you might have guessed, but like a good design it needs some congruence.

If people find out that you just shut up for your company, it might give people the wrong impression about their business.
Hilarious stuff!
I don't know how you can misunderstand your core demographic this badly mate.

But still have to cover very wide operational margins (they are overspecced) because many failures are catastrophic so they can't run on the edge of failing all the time.
Except for legal reasons I agree that it shouldn't matter. However, where you live defines the frames around any salary negotiation, both because it affects what you are willing to accept, but also because it affects your opportunity cost. If my prospective employer knows that I live in Romania they probably wouldn't offer me a bay area salary, even if I am equally valuable for the company, since they can be pretty sure that I would accept something lower (that's not to say that you cannot negotiate a similar salary if you are able to prove your value somehow). If I live in the Bay Area I have plenty of options around me so they know that I probably wouldn't be willing to accept the same salary that I would if I lived in Romania.

Having a dominant two-party system is counted as a demerit in the democracy index scoring rules, so that is almost a tautology. See item 10 here: https://www.transparency.org.nz/docs/2017/Democracy_Index_20...

Item 14 is pretty interesting too. "Is the legislature the supreme political body, with a clear supremacy over other branches of government?" That's probably a no for the US, but who knows. The "experts" who make the determination are not revealed, so the whole index is really based on trusting what The Economist says.

Item 18, "Do special economic, religious or other powerful domestic groups exercise significant political power, parallel to democratic institutions?". I can't imagine how that can be fairly scored: the only realistic possibility is that the "experts" vote on how much they like the interest groups in this or that country.

There are lots of items like that. Even if they make sense for a democracy index, you can easily see how different people might give completely different answers.

In item 40, "Alternatively, % of people who think that punishing criminals is an essential characteristic of democracy", where you get the full score if that is over 80%. Wouldn't most people say that punishing criminals is an essential function of _any_ government, not having anything to do with democracy in particular? On the other hand, many dislike the very notion of punishment. In the US, this waxes and wanes; does the country really become more democratic during the "tough on crime" phases of the cycle? The index seems to say so!
Is fiat money to blame for the Iraq war, police brutality, and the war on drugs?

Domain resellers are trouble but I wonder how lucrative actually domain reselling is considering lots of people are doing it.
I think that you are also going to find that shops with any significant percentage of Macs that the shared services are run on Linux and not Windows. In a Windows-only shop you can basically get complete control once you pop the PDC, but in a blended/hybrid setup you are unlikely to be able to make quick lateral traversal to the servers that you would need to compromise to make the effort lucrative.

FWIW, I would bet that 25% or more of all enterprise Macs are also going to be running homebrew and a ton of standard unix software.
It depends. On current CPUs the bottlenecks are in order:

- IO processing

- Memory

- CPU

In particular, any language that doesn't have any escape hatch to do manual memory management will have troubles to optimize memory bound workloads.

In scientific computing, machine learning, deep learning and in image processing, in particular stencil code, 90% of the workloads are memory bound (the CPU-bound being those involving convolutions and matrix multiplications once you get the data at its proper place, and things involving exponentiation or trigonometric functions).

Yeah. Red Hat even got the Eclipse Java IDE running on it (sort of, it was really buggy and a lot slower than running it on the Sun JDK of the time)
After Sun made the JDK GPL it was abandoned very quickly.
Having done it NES-style, I'm kind of glad that server-side JS didn't catch.

Node is an unlikely event. It hit the sweet spot precisely when async started being needed, there was a runtime environment that made it viable (v8, thanks to massive investment by Google on Chrome), and a language that made it kind of natural.
> The majority of people in both countries don’t go to college.

What is your source on this? From what I read about the stats in France, more than 75% of a given generation obtain the BAC, the diploma that grants access to university. I'm fairly confident that for the recent years the majority of any given cohort does go to higher-ed.

> College costs are mainly an issue for middle and upper middle class people.

It's not really an issue for anyone in France though. Maybe you can have a look at university fees here [1]. (<500€/y) Personally we didn't pay anything as it is entirely subsided for families with lower revenues.

No, I specifically agree that they have a common cause. Nobody's depending on a common cause being impossible.

But they cannot be coincidentally related by a common cause！ This is clearly a causality chain:

1. interest in the paper -> reading the paper
2. reading the paper -> citing the paper

It is not:

1. interest in the paper -> reading the paper
2. interest in the paper -> citing the paper

You can't seriously believe that interest in the paper can lead to citations of the paper without being intermediated through reading the paper!

And that intermediary position of Sci-Hub means that, in the model described, it cannot possibly fail to be a cause of citations. That would be the same argument as "one game downloaded through piracy equals one lost sale". If you don't believe that one illegal download = one lost sale, you've immediately admitted that piracy is a cause of additional gameplay.

Try out a US* QWERTY keyboard for a few months. I grew up with non-English keyboards, but then some years ago I got stuck with a US keyboard for half a year, and after that I didn't want to go back. I can easily type the few non-English characters I need with the X.org compose key, so I can easily write in my native language. I assume it would work equally well for any language using a Latin-script alphabet.
