Technically it could be random....

If you "did nothing wrong", you also drive like you did nothing wrong (5-10 over), hit some yellow lights, etc.

If you know you have a bag of drugs in your car, and a police vehicle pulls at a stop next to you, you can panic.

Also if they do stop you, becase you (eg.) didnt use your turn signal, most people just sigh., give some excuse ("I wanted to, but that black car came, and i had to go around, and the cat, and the wipers, and this and that"), and calmly wait for a ticket... people with drugs usually act different.

And thirdly, police usually know all the drug dealers in their area, know their cars, and just have to catch them with enough drugs to make it worthwile.... so they probably get stopped a bit more often than a normal random commuter does, even if neither of them use turn signals regularly.
I don't think they're stupid, but I do think they're like addicts. They can't control their compulsion, or they would.
If that is the case, the school breaks even on effort after running the program twice and "profits" thereafter.
The program can also theoretically be shared with the rest of the world.
> Platform creep is nasty.

Why? Why not just consider the kernel, the rest of the OS core, the userland and the GUI completely distinct products?

GNU seems the best userland to the date (because BSD is more antique and Windows had rudimentary until recently). The new Windows userland (PowerShell and .Net Core) are growing awesome. Both are OS-independent, as well as BSD. Why even associate them with a particular OS? How choosing a userland differs from choosing a programming language?
>> When you realize that default Prolog SLD resolution is just a depth-first search and that every predicate you define really has a implicit "foreach" in front of it, it's easier to wrap your brain around.

Depth-first search is used to find matching literals, but SLD resolution is
not depth-first search; or it would be called "depth-first search".

SLD resolution is an algorithm that eliminates literals from a clause until
the empty clause is derived, at which point a refutation of the original goal
succeeds.

For example, let P = {q(a,b) ∧ (p(X,Y) ∨ ¬q(X,Y))} be a definite (logic) program
and G = ¬p(X,Y) be a Horn goal. A refutation proof of ¬p(X,Y) by resolution
might go like this:

a) p(X,Y) unifies with ¬p(X,Y) with substitution θ = ∅

b) ¬q(X,Y) ∧ q(a,b) is derived from (a) (by elimination of the two unifying
literals with opposing signs)

c) ¬q(X,Y) unifies with q(a,b) with substitution θ = {X/a,Y/b}

d) □ [the empty clause] is derived from (c)

Thus, ¬p(X,Y) is refuted, with substitution {X/a,Y/b}, i.e. p(X,Y) is true
with those variable bindings.

Or, as a tree diagram:

p(X,Y) ∨ ¬q(X,Y) ¬p(X,Y)
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
¬q(X,Y) q(a,b)
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
□

Note that in Prolog, P = {q(a,b), p(X,Y):-q(X,Y)} and G = :-p(X,Y). I've
written it in clausal form above to help with the elimination of literals.

So, depth-first search is used in Prolog (but not mandated by any description
of resolution) to find unifying literals for a "query" (i.e. a goal) but
depth-first search is not resolution and resolution is not depth-first
search. Resolution allows us to derive a set of literals from another set of
literals, by elimination of literals that unify but have opposite signs.
Indeed, resolution can be notated as:

p,q ¬q
--------
p

Or, from p OR q and NOT q we can infer p.

[Note: "elimination" is my own terminology, not often used in logic
programming books. The correct description is that from p and ¬p we can
derive empty clause.]
This is certainly false in my experience. I’ve had prompt repairs done with no questions asked a few times, even replacements of small parts, like a fractured cable.

Your story is exactly why I always talk to my non-tech friends about how critical the Internet was for those of us that could learn on our own at a young age, and its Life defining experiences like this that make this place worth coming back to.

In moments of struggle we find out who and what we really are, and while my situation was no where near as difficult as yours, for many of us the Internet and the access to all of the information you could take came to be how we made sense of what was otherwise an insurmountable challenge due to circumstance(s) beyond one's control.

If you have time, consider reading Permanent Record by Edward Snowden, the way he describes his experiences is so typical of the People who I have come to have a near instant bond/connection with as they often have a similar story as your own.
I think this should be looked at similarly to e-readers that came before Kindle or smartphones from before the iPhone. It's not 'there' yet, but it shows the directions things can go, and can help pave the way toward something that deserves mass adoption. Bringing down the price is a big step, so more people can try it out and maybe even discover a niche where it's already 'good enough' for some task.
That is dynamic soaring [1] which is I guess a subset of slope soaring, and is pretty rare and nuts. It generally requires flying in the lee of a slope rather than in front of it.

Regular slope soaring is relatively more sedate, fun and accessible if you have the right slope.

> Dynamic soaring is sometimes confused with slope soaring which is a technique for achieving elevation.
Tweets are not news. Journalists today who base a story on a tweet are no better than the journos of yesteryear who wrote their stories by "pasting up" press releases from their subjects. They're shills. (The same might be said for political reporters who sit around the office watching C-SPAN and writing stories. But, no digression.)

If a tweet announces (for example) a move to change a particular government regulation, that might be news. But the Twitter medium is NOT the message. It's closer to something scrawled on the wall in a public toilet than it is to even a press release. A competent journo will follow up to obtain more or deeper sources, and background.

Here's an over-the-top idea: Twitter should introduce a feature that randomly attributes one tweet in a thousand to the wrong account. And Twitter should publicize that change and include it in their terms of service. The effect: journos risk their reputations who don't follow up to verify the source and content of tweets they report.

Twitter will never make this change. But putting the burden on journos to distrust and verify restores a part of that profession that's been fading away along with newspaper revenue.

Maybe there's another way to reduce the trustworthiness of Twitter content just enough to make verification necessary, and to put the burden on journos. They're trained to verify, hopefull.

Now, a certain 45th holder of a certain visible job tweets a lot. Stories saying that person tweeted something inflammatory may be news. But they're old and boring news. McDs has golden arches. Pope's Catholic. DJT spews rubbish on twitter.
This shouldn't be downvoted, it is the correct implementation.

The UK MOD needed a large, private network space, so they registered 25/8. They can make whatever integrations with other networks they might need, and know their private address space shouldn't collide.

> It's also true that the most predictable factor when it comes to student performance in school is household income.

Assuming you mean predictive rather than predictable, the most predictive factor from what I've seen is parental educational attainment, not income or (to respond to a sibling comment) IQ.
Since there are 2080 work-hours in a year (40 hours/week * 52 weeks/year) wouldn't that translate to roughly 5 years experience? But yeah, agree on HR.
This would be an explanation if most people wouldn't report that the replacement had the same issues, which points more to an engineering problem than a 0.01% rate.

AIUI, that $1.90 (wasn't it $2? no matter) wasn't intended to be a particularly good number, but was picked because having something was necessary, a lot of desperately poor people had less so it was in the right range, and no other number seemed better at describing desperate poverty. It continues to be used because it permits comparison with older data. I haven't noticed anything that says it's bad — for example, I haven't read that there's a lot of people whose income increases past $1.90 but the upward movement stops shortly above it, so that using $2.50 or $3 would lead to very different graphs.

The article seems to imply that using a much higher number would be substantively different, but I can't really tell why. Is it really just saying that counting desperately poor people is bad, and instead the number of poor people should be counted? Or is it saying that helping most of the desperately poor become merely poor is racist, we rich people would do more for them and faster if they had the Right skin colour?

This is such a biased comment. Even people who don’t buy Apple products will admit that so many aspects of their hardware is genuinely premium and not met by other manufacturers. The quality of the trackpad is at the top of the industry, and you’ll find nearly anyone admitting this, whether they use Apple products or not. And I’ve seen plenty of exclusively Linux-using developers have a wow moment when they sit down at a retina screen. To say that everything is greener on the other side it’s just silly. There are pros and cons.
That assumes that the effort can all be recorded. It is more likely that a lot of the extra time goes into answering student questions in an online forum and adjusting content on the fly based on students’ interests and/or confusion.

I like the methodology of the Join Order Benchmark (JOB). The key takeaway is PostgreSQL specific:

> ...the most important statistic for join estimation in PostgreSQL is the number of distinct values. These statistics are estimated from a fixed-sized sample, and we have observed severe underestimates for large tables.

Live statistics, incrementally updated on DML execution, is a key feature for a good query optimizer. As a zero-administration RDBMS, SQL Anywhere had gained a reputation as a best-of-breed query optimizer [1] a decade ago; I'm curious if this still holds true.

In the last decade, the importance of OLAP queries in row stores has diminished due to the superiority of column stores. I'd be interested in a comparison of the Citus query optimizer vs. say Presto.

From a bio perspective, it sounds like a great idea.

From a squimish perspective... it sounds like something from a horrendous distopia. I just have visions of rows of human shaped tissue cultures.

A less horrendous version could be cultured cells for each organ, with some kind of circulation between them which one could test theraputics for cytotoxicity. I've seen "labs on a chip"[0] for things like PCR, I wonder if you could do that for drug testing in vitro.

Shopify is serving multiple billion-dollar brands, and that’s a fact [1]

My point is that even in the large enterprise space there are businesses that have fairly straightforward eCommerce needs that can be better served by ready-made solutions.

If your requirements don’t fit that, then sure, go with a framework and build around it. My secondary point was that I believe in this scenario it’d probably be less risky to go with one of the long-time PHP incumbents like Magento, which you now mention, than something like Spree or Saleor.

Yeah, as I understand it Banqiao Dam was/is quite similar - it was also necessary in order to prevent much more regular and disruptive downstream flooding, and its collapse was a direct consequence of holding back too much water out of fear of downstream flooding (as well as some unfortunate design flaws). It also served as a water supply. That doesn't stop nuclear proponents regularly pointing to its failure as evidence that nuclear is safer than hydroelectric.

I suspect there might be a bias towards high-profile dam failures in China involving hydroelectric dams because the larger dams obviously get more attention and were also more economically viable to incorporate hydroelectric power into.
US states with the most authortarian COVID-19 responses have the highest excess deaths.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/country/united... (sort by fatality rate, still skewed, excess deaths are the only real measure, note how some obvious cols dont have totals, must have been to hard to sum?)

Wall to wall MSM doom about AZ @ 1.81%!

"In about two month the casualties in the US will exceed WW2 - and likely long term disability victims will range in the millions."

False. Note you dont even try to source that with excess deaths. I linked and even posted the normal death counts. --What's the non-covid-19 pneumonia # for this pandemic?--

Excess deaths (see cdc link above) are the only reliable statistic. And they should be a list of pairs, (birth_date, death_date).

Comparing this with WW2 ~500k dead comparitively young people is just wrong (seriously, why even comment if you are going to ignore the yearly #'s? Was 2016 WW2 too?). This branded flu season is maybe roughly 2x a normal flu season, and if we look at excess deaths only, or factor in what happens when people avoid the doctor for months.... it's less than that.

WHY NOT use the masks forever?

In this article, we will consider common errors in the design of electronic devices and how to solve them. We will see how to calculate the cost of rolling back a batch of devices, get familiar with the main prototyping cycle.
Finally a topic I feel very confident on - I've flipped many hundred guitars, and owned a bunch of "true" vintage ones. Fender Strats from 1957 - 1963, Gibson Les Pauls from 1957 - 1960 (though no "true" bursts, and probably not something I'm going to own unless I hit it big...), and tried a bunch of very, very expensive vintage guitars.

I've seen a bunch of articles the past years, in websites like WSJ, where they've started to ride the vintage guitars/amps "investment" wagon. I know the vintage community hates this notion - because for every Joe B that actually plays the instruments, there are probably 10 collectors that just stow away the instruments in safe storage.

Furthermore, you need to either be incredibly experienced yourself, or find some person that really, really knows their sh!t. Fakes can of course be a huge problem, especially if they're high-end replicas from over the years.

But IMO the biggest risk would be pieces that simply aren't original. There's quite a difference between an original burst, and some conversion burst. Both only one of them will yield extraordinary good ROI.
I feel like that would be a rare soul these days. People are so prone to screaming about every little "sin", even if it's really nothing. It's like they can't distinguish between things that are bad and things that are unconscionably bad, and scream at the same volume regardless.
> Well if you put it that way, of course hiring a private tutor on every subject is in now way worse than school.

I’m not sure what you are expecting?

Most subjects I can learn well enough to teach and help out but there are some I don’t have any talent for.

I’m saying the cost to cover those gaps is minimal and it is easy and effective.

I understand the ~$70/week I paid tutors is unaffordable for some - but it’s also a lot less than the $10k+/year my state spends per kid.

And it’s 1:1 or 1:2 tuition instead of 1:30.

Central banks keep interest rate low not because of the stock market.

People focus too much on stocks. The real question is about the real economy, about price stability and unemployment. Especially in case of the Fed ( https://www.chicagofed.org/research/dual-mandate/dual-mandat... , but of course other central banks are also tracking labor markets too, even if de jure it's not their target - https://ideas.repec.org/p/fip/fedbsp/70.html ).

And we can say whatever we like about how the rich get richer, our current economic system do responds to what central banks do. Cheap money (an oversupply of low and even lower interest rate debt) helps persuade people to buy/invest/order things. It helps finance stimulus bills, and so on.

The savings are "just" an indicator. Sure, when the savings crash, the economy crashes too, but the causality is backwards. If/when the economy crashes (when industries stop, when people stop buying, when businesses let people go) savings will also become "worthless", because after all they represent future income, and if the economy tanks its productivity (income) tanks too.
Such services are likely breaking the law.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, they're still breaking the law… In the US there's the CAN-SPAM act (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can...) and nearly every other country has similar laws. Most of them require one-click unsubscribes to work.

It's still failure to comply even if it's due to negligence/ignorance/incompetence.

What does the transmission rate have to do with whether the disruption periods are non-trivial? If I read it correctly, the disruptions are on the order of milliseconds (why did you make us read through a powerpoint slideshow?).

That means not noticeable for most fiber use cases. The only use case I can imagine that would suffer from this a bit, is telerobotics (i.e. remote surgery). Unless the fiber path is so long, and the lightning storms so large that there is a continuous stream of those disruptions.
The killer app here is tele-operated cleaning, with a monthly subscription model.

@bArray
it doesn't need to operate autonomously, see the Human assisted AI argument.
With good UX one remote operator will control five or six bots at once, tagging objects, issuing instructions.
