I have a home office situated 15-20m from an Openreach manhole. The building is less than 20 years old so there is an existing, unused, duct from the manhole directly to my home office. I live in an FTTC area so there is already fibre nearby.

The quote for getting fibre to the office was £9.5k + VAT (i.e. US$15k). And remember: this is for infrastructure which is long-lived, and which Openreach will have to install anyway, sometime over the next decade or less.

That seems even harder to explain, at least for me ...
Dwight was being disingenuous, as the terms the Japanese were seeking to “save face” including keeping all their conquered possessions, especially in China.
Lightbulb specs often describe their white color in terms of color temperature, in Kelvin.

This refers to perceptually matching the color of an ideal black body glowing at the specified temperature.

The documented color temperatures of different lights vary considerably. Rarely do they match sunlight. Daytime, overhead sunlight at the Earth's surface has a bluer spectrum than most lightbulbs, but sunlight doesn't look bluish-white because color perception adjusts rapidly for ambient light, and sunlight is so bright it dominates even when it's seen indoors through a window.
An interesting perspective summarized here [0] is that the bombings were not just unnecessary to end the war and were conducted as a show of force to the Soviets. They were conducted in an attempt to end the war ASAP, before a planned Soviet ground invasion of Japan so that the US wouldn't have to share control over post-war Japan with the Soviets.

As someone who grew up outside of the US, I have found that Americans have a unique view on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. American schoolchildren are raised to believe that it was morally justified because it won - and therefore ended - the war. This attitude is so deeply and fundamentally ingrained into most Americans (including many who would self-identify as liberals) that it is very hard for them to see it as a war crime despite obviously meeting the criteria for such.
Strange, as the Japanese military mutinied when the Emperor ordered the surrender.

Well that's just the thing! We observe Trump attacked from all sides of the establishment - the left, (some of) the right, and the entire government bureaucracy ("the deep state").

You might balk at the idea of having fresh basil... I would argue it's one of the things you really need in your life! Buy a small plant, it'll run you 3-4 dollars (if that). Keep it by your window sil so it gets some sunshine, and it looks pretty, and the responsibility of having to water it is calming and enjoyable.

It really gets fun when you get fancy with it. I often add whatever vegetable I have at hand (e.g. , get some cumin seeds and bay leaves heated up in some olive oil, add some onions/garlic into this oil... and whatever spices you like and can handle (I'm partial to a bit of cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cumin), and finally add your $VEGETABLE). Add this to your pasta sauce.
As one of your sibling comments points out, it's only this way because of the prevalence of cars. If we didn't place so much emphasis on making it easy to drive everywhere, we'd see far more housing and offices adjacent to transit hubs.

Without OO as main paradigm, and without being shoehorned into the JVM, Haskell has no chance to be mainstream. Stop trying to make it mainstream, it will only remove from Haskell what makes Haskell great.
With "the object" i meant the bytes in memory that make up an object without taking optimizations into account which can ignore parts of it (since, as i wrote, those can interfere with what you are trying to do).

And yes, the compiler made 4 out of these 5 functions to disregard the vtable, but this is again something the compiler did that you have control over - if you are trying to take advantage of such implementation specific assumptions, you wont realistically use optimizations that break these assumptions nor write code that do not follow them.

The only place where this can break is if a library uses its own functions, those functions are inlined in some places and you want to hotpatch them. But that is an issue with hotpatching 3rd party code you have no control over in general regardless of language (it can happen in C too, for example), not just with vtable hotpatching.
In practice there is no scalable way for the government to check everyone's security box every second. However, it is possible for them to scan every message sent in real time and past leaks have shown that they will if given the opportunity.
The bombs barely performed their intended effect being dropped on cities. Even after Nagasaki the Japanese military argued they could continue to fight from underground bunkers.

Well the other thing is that color is kind of a human concept, so we are also looking at the Sun with a specific set of equipment that is different from that of an insect, for example. Even questions like "what color is that flower" look very different in different wavelengths.

Even the lumen is calibrated to the receptivity of the human eye over various wavelengths.

I think a much better example of this idea is shown in one of my favorite 80s videos, "A Private Universe" which asks Stanford alumni (in their robes no less) why the moon has phases. Then they show how their misconceptions go all the way back to primary school and were never challenged.

Basically a patent practitioner can file patents on someone else’s behalf (file, contest decisions, transfer ownership, etc.)

I’m not a patent practitioner yet. I failed the exam the first time I took it and studying for my second attempt.

I do not enjoy it! Patent law is dry and boring and I can’t believe more this isn’t automated. Patents are powerful though and I hope to build software to empower individuals to file with a business model that encourages support for open source solutions (github for patents? but given the nature of patents that doesn’t really make sense) It’s a WIP.
In my experience it depends on the number of results, and the results are more accurate with verbatim.
I see an obsession with local but would they actually be more environmentally friendly? Specialized higher yield locales are more efficenct for land usage. Efficencies of scale and more optimal environments and container ships of scale as well.

Aside from that more stringent local environmental regulations are the only advantage I can see mattering.
I thought V2V was going to use redundant, multi-media, communications - such as modulating a car’s lights’ LED PWM to provide a low-bandwidth signal to other cars within line-of-sight, while also using some analogue of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for longe-range communications.
Yes, these.

I have Cheaney, Barker (I know it is not high-end by pricing, but I'm very satisfied with their quality over the years) Paul Smith, Attila Shoes, Vass Shoes and some workhorses that are worn enough not to care to walk 10-20km a day or if I am on holiday.

I'm always surprised when people say these are not comfortable as much as a trainer. I have to disagree.

This is exactly it. Thank you.
The second bomb coming so quickly was key to changing Hirohito’s mind. The military had argued that Hiroshima was a one time thing, and the US couldn’t possibly build another bomb any time soon.
Good point - I didn’t add a disclaimer, not recommended! And probably not a fun tip but nonetheless saved my bacon a few times when I needed quick access to devices.
Yep as soon as you make it look like natural language, compilers magically become intelligent and context aware readers of prose, not the old-school pedantic expectors of syntax rules.
You might get some exercise, but even if you don't, there are benefits to getting outside.

I have used both professionally at a senior data scientist role so I feel like pitching in. Perhaps due to my background coming from Matlab I never got too keen on dataframes (be it Pandas or whatever Clojure has to offer). Instead I use matrices for homogenous data or whatever hashmap-of-list-of-sets describes more complex data. When your data is already in a CSV format and you want to do basic analysis on that or fit mathematical models I highly recommend the Python / Numpy / Pandas / Scipy combination. It can be easily extended to which ever direction you want to go, be it PySpark or Keras.

Clojure taught me a lot about infinite lazy sequences (kinda like Python's generators) and how to model the program as a pipeline. A good analogy is found from shell programming. There you have stand-alone programs which handle individual tasks and you can pipe previous program's stdout into next program's stdin. On Clojure you'd wrinte stand-alone functions which you "pipe" together via "->" thread-first and "->>" thread-last macros. It also ships with several handy functions such as "frequencies", "group-by" and "partition-by". I have ported these and several others to my own Python projects thanks to their versatility and a kind of universality.

Oh and speaking of macros, if you want to get fancy you can design your own domain-specific-language and express your problem in that, hiding all of the poilerplate under the hood. But to get the highest performance sometimes you need to think whether to use Clojure's immutable datastructures or resort to Java's mutable ones, which could have better performance (or use a library I guess). Well at least on JVM you can do "real" parallel programming, unlike on CPython interpreter due to the GIL.

Clojure is fun and very educative for all kinds of projects, but on a professional data analysis setting I'd start with Python and if it seems like a bad fit then do a PoC with Clojure. :)

What a huge topic.

Usually I go through Harajuku (excluding Takeshita-dori), Shibuya, Omotesando, and Shinjuku and go through the various stores. Especially in Harajuku stores tend to close constantly and are replaced, but theres always something good to find.
Misinterprering by responding to half a sentence is rude.

>> and prepared for one happening eventually
The scenario is just an example of where it could be useful, but what you describe isn't something that is unique to patching the vtable - it is something that can happen with any form of function hotpatching, e.g. a library might use its own functions and some of those might be inlined by the compiler, so if you try to hotpatch one of those functions not all uses of that function will be replaced with your own.

This is something that you should have in mind when hotpatching in general, but that doesn't make hotpatching any less useful.

> [Japan was] offering to surrender, before the USSR joined the fight.

This is blatantly false. Even after two atomic bombs had fallen on Japan, their military leaders -- and indeed most of their population -- remained committed to fight on until the nation of Japan ceased to exist. It was only the intervention of the emperor himself (who never gets involved in matters of war) that convinced the military and the people to surrender after the bombs were dropped.
English Place-Name Society
The reason I like it for IP is that the cost to society to enforce IP rights is pretty high.

Not just directly (e.g. costs to grant patents, hear court cases etc.) but indirectly - people can make things completely on their own and end up being sued for it because of an obscure patent violation. This has a chilling effect on innovation in general.

Because of this, making the person with the special right have to pay for the costs of that right seems fair.

I live in NYC which may be both the roach capital of the world and the most thoroughly saturated with RF signals. I can assure you, there is no correlation. Roach killing chemicals have definitely gotten more effective, but also they're starting to proliferate again due to the warming environment.
An interesting point here, in the Wikipedia article on the atomic bombings, that Japanese nuclear scientists reported to their government that the US could be expected to have between two and four more such bombs ready to go. They were under no illusions that the US had hundreds of these sitting around.
And who defines what a "lie" is?
Five or six years ago, I bought a lot of three ThinkPad R40 Celerons sold for parts, hoping to get one useable machine. I did, ending up with a rather pedestrian LXDE Linux laptop.

Just this week I got a second one running with a whopping 256 MB of RAM, and put OS/2 (ArcaOS) on it. It’s quite a snappy machine. Loads of fun.
Finally some useful ideas what we do with empty shopping centers if the majority of people buys online.
Depends on the platform and what you're looking for. Some operating systems and languages/ecosystems are worse than others. Windows stuff is largely incredibly bad (not saying Windows is bad, for this reason anyway, just that search results for anything MS-related tend to be awful). The nerdier the OS and less "corporate" the language, the better the results get.
Yes you're right - misinterprering by responding to part of a thread is rude.

Which is what you're doing - because the context of the thread is more specifically that anyone foresaw it - 'He couldn’t foresee that. No one did.' and the person I'm replied to that saying that they thought just some like Taiwan foresaw it.

Both are demonstrably false claims - you can look at public national security risk registers to confirm to yourself that many other countries foresaw it.
Alternatively, this was Trump's 9/11 -- the threat the President+Cabinet knew was coming and intentionally unprotected the nation from, in order to manufacture an excuse to retaliate against a tangentially connected enemy.
> I'm not wasting my time and her money

I've very specifically couched all my recommendations for this for when it's trivial to do. Arguing about this with someone instead of doing it, when doing it may have some benefits but really only costs a few minutes instead of just doing so is definitely wasting her time and money.

> You just used the line "do what you're told or quit".

I noted what I wished people would do in very specific cases where they're wasting way too much time and effort to win a stupid argument rather than make a small change of dubious, not possibly not zero, positive security impact.

I don't see anything weird about acknowleding some of the extreme traits of the culture I live in while also wishing they would change, at least in specific cases where I think they do more harm than good.

Honestly, I'm confused why you would even make some cognitive leap that since I live in an area with a specific culture I must act in the manner I described that culture, especially when I did it in a denigrating way. I guess you think all Americans must be the same? That doesn't seem a useful way to interact with people.
RFC 5, by Michael J. Mathews: Multiline comments
I suppose if you had good unit test coverage that would mitigate your particular problem, shifting the errors from production to your dev box. Not a solution to the static typing problem, of course.

For my part I use LINQ2SQL and the whole thing becomes statically typed.
I once had powerline networking which somehow ended up joining my next door neighbour’s powerline network. That was a bizarre evening of trying to work out why my connection was sometimes fine, while other times unusably slow - turns out I was occasionally getting DHCP responses from next door’s router, and unsurprisingly the available bandwidth across RF interference between two power sockets back to back on opposite sides of a wall leaves a lot to be desired.
I feel like you can just look at what China or N. Korea are doing to see the downsides.

My Modern World History class in high school also did this.

Our debate came down to whether or not directly / immediately killing hundreds of thousands of citizens was justified by potentially preventing even more dying in a subsequent invasion. The class was similarly split.
Bad DPI data would be my guess.
Not mentioned on that list: It made the sort of stories that circulated in post-WWI Germany, about the old men selling out while they could still have kept fighting, much less plausible.

If the war aim was the permanent political defeat of Japanese fascism, then this was important. You don't just want the leader's signature on paper, you want defeat to be undeniable to everyone.

In both cases, the naval blockade left a lot of civilians hungry, and was great military value-for-money. But politically, that was easier to forget afterwards. Your adversary's ability to destroy whole cities with one plane was not.

(In germany's case, having two different armies in Berlin for half a century was also kind-of hard to forget.)
I haven't suggested anything.

Once you grant them a license to your IP it might as well be free. This in the sense that they can transfer the license to someone else, manufacture your device, use it and you won't see a dime for it. From your perspective, the IP owner, they got your product for free. The investment in time, money, R&D and risk you put into the product produces no returns for you.
> Millimeter waves means it will be possible to build a network just for an office building, factory, or stadium. At those scales, 5G could function essentially like Wi-Fi networks.

LTE was already using a whole lot of frequencies adjacent to Wi-FI, and I'm sure similar bands would be a critical part of making a private 5G network since you want to go through minor obstacles. Millimeter-wave on the other hand could be useful for speed but I bet it wouldn't be a critical part.
This is, in general, a bad idea.

Lithium battery charge circuits generally have a fully charged voltage (about 4.2v), a fully discharged voltage (about 3.2v), and a 'do not attempt to recharge below this' voltage (about 2.4v).

The reason circuits are designed not to recharge a cell below the 2.4v threshold is because when you recharge below that voltage, gasses are typically generated which eventually (many months later usually) burst the plastic envelope of the battery, and the battery electrolyte then evaporates as a highly flammable gas, killing the battery and potentially starting a fire if there is a nearby ignition source.

TL:DR:. 'dead' batteries refuse to charge for safety reasons, and tricks to bypass that safety mechanism might lead to a fire a few months down the line.
That was my take too. Him being frustrated at the problem. Sort of like when Obama rolls his eyes when someone makes a birther joke.

I personally think the solution isn't to make it harder to share lies, but easier to share the truth. Sharing the truth is actually extremely labor intensive.
After buying mostly levi's jeans for 30 years I started noticing huge differences in quality / durability.. upon inspecting the waist seams I noticed the 'made in pakistan / mexico' and other labels of origin.
The same style/numbers from different years had different fabric thicknesses and were made in various places, and they did not last as long. So I started to question this "American brand".

Then they started going all anti-gun / SJW / spending money to reduce gun rights.

I have not bought a pair in a long time, won't buy any of that brand for anyone else, and anytime someone I know is shopping for or discussing jeans I mention my distaste for the brand and those who would support them.

Seeing them go down sparks joy. I'd rather wear a leisure suit made by snuggies than hand them cash. Seems I'm not the only one.

Congrats on your launch. Very cool landing page. Curious on how you got people from Google, Lyft, Dropbox and Amazon to try your tool? Or are these all placeholders?

One thing you might want to consider, there are tons of tools like this one out there and usually you can enter your URL and see the results then sign up. It felt like an off workflow having to sign up to see a sampling of the analysis for my site.
> The whole premise is incorrect, so the conclusions are incorrect. The hardware is not the same, and even if it was, clearly the software makes a difference to the user.

Speaking as someone who has spent a fair share of money on Apple products, It really doesn't. Apple is in the business of selling Veblen goods, and unless you are in a niche domain that requires niche software, Apple does not offer anything that makes a significant difference when compared with what ships with other platforms.

This is specially true nowadays as the bulk of the work done by anyone is performed through a browser. I mean, Finder works but no one spends $2k on a laptop just because you can open files like a champ.

In order to understand the appeal of Apple's product line, all you need to check is the rationale of companies who try to entice potential hires by advertising how they make available flashy Apple hardware to their employees.
