I'm not a chemist but it seems that Novichok is the poison with the worst track record. It was claimed that this is extremely dangerous military grade neuro agent, but currently from six people claimed to be poisoned with it only one died.

I'm starting to wonder why the Russian secret services blamed using it against political opponents, try it again and again. It is completely possible that they want not to kill, but just to intimidate, but also it is completely possible that the "Novichok" is just a propaganda weapon of the West.
It happens because the general public, as well as LEO, don't believe that many of the laws on the book should be enforced.

As far as I am aware, nobody thinks LEO is letting murders go as a favor.
For example, 90% of Americans ignore posted speed limits, as do LEO. When someone gets a speeding ticket, it seems bad luck and unfair. This makes it seem more acceptable for LEO to let someone off the hook.
So you don't think we have enough selective enforcement already?
I only really care about their consumer stuff--I'm not involved in server products or really even heavy desktop/workstation/XEON stuff.

I think it's interesting/exciting because it looks like they're starting to get higher quality results out of their 10nm node. Ice Lake was decent, but it was limited on clocks and was clear they were trying to get something viable on 10nm out the door. Almost proof of concept for all the 10nm stuff they'd been talking up and failing to deliver on for years.

But these Tiger Lake parts actually looks like higher quality 10nm running at much better frequencies. It's Intel finally delivering on their 10nm promises.

The Xe graphics are also fairly interesting. Ice Lake Gen 11 graphics was an improvement over older integrated parts, but Xe is another solid step forward. As a laptop consumer I'm always happy to get more graphical oomph so that multiple high resolutions displays can be comfortably run when I'm docked into an at-home setup (which is kinda always in this COVID world).

All in all, none of this is mind blowing, but Intel has been so... whelming... these last handful of years, that I think it's fair to be a little excited when they've finally taken a legitimate step forward.
I'm pretty sure a lot of the popularity of oop actually came from modularity which came with it (although I do find inheritance useful, just not multiple inheritance).

I think C would be 10x more useful language if it ditched include files and had "import" like python
What is the purpose of issuing laws/regulations without penalty? (2017)
I've wondered if there's a middle ground between moderation and curation where I 'follow' a set of people and I mostly see what they already liked. The grey area between 'I disagree strongly with this sentiment' and "this is wrong and nobody should see it" plays out everywhere, even here.

There are some critics who you trust in most genres but not one. Being able to see the 'best of' that is the union of things people chose instead of the intersection of things they did not reject is an experiment I'd like to at least observe.

What we have a lot of now is anybody can submit, and it's up to the moderators to cull the bad stuff. That's really cool when a site is small, but eventually it's just way too much stuff, and the moderators are always the bad cops. If I 'follow' someone, they get to be a good cop. Effectively it's retweeting without Twitter.
I used to carry a copy of the (quite a lot shorter) 1983 version with me, and re-read it every few months, each time learning something new, unlocked by my increased experience.

I have just learned that Lampson was a fierce opponent of Lynn Conway's VLSI design methods program, at Xerox PARC. Fortunately, his opposition did not carry the day, the methods took over the industry in record time, and Conway's career at Xerox was not ultimately harmed. It would still be interesting to learn the basis for his opposition.
The english language changes over time too.
Sure, but are those illegal things provable? Maybe someone is flagged based on suspicious searches about explosives and planes. That’s clearly not enough to arrest someone, however might be enough of a concern to stop them for a deeper search when boarding a plane.

The theater of everything right now is absurd, but there are reasons for using identity to narrow more narrowly search people who may have some probable cause. My concern with the TSA is that we search everyone, regardless of probable cause.
Because you can do functional programming in OOP. In the sense that it was originally intended, which is just writing pure functions to avoid side effects.

It seems to me that just the pardon power by itself is fundamentally incompatible with democracy and the rule of law.

It's like saying you're a pacifist... except for Tuesdays when you go on a weekly killing spree.

I imagine that if we can survive and progress long enough to have real democracy and rule of law, our present system will be viewed a transitional period that, for all its very real improvements, was still structurally closer to feudalism than actual democracy.

This is such a cop out. So there is no consistent astroturfing but there is a significant contingent of Pro-Putin posters who support assassinations with Nerve Agents who largely work in the tech-sphere? I find that hard to believe...

Moonshot-Internet | Lead developer | Paris, France | ONSITE (WFH 3 days/week) | Full-Time

Hi, I'm Laurent, the CTO of Moonshot-Internet. We're an Insurtech aiming to make insurance simple, easy to use and useful.

I'm looking for our next lead developer to oversee both front-end and back-end development work, mentor the junior devs in the team, and help us improve our development practices. The tech team is fairly small (9 persons) so you'll be instrumental in shaping it and helping it grow.

Our stack is Python and vue.js hosted on AWS, mostly on serverless. The job is based in Paris although we do have a partial work from home policy (2 to 3 days a week). I have a complete job description in French, I'll do a quick translation if you're interested.

You can reach me at laurent.leconte [at] moonshot-internet.com

And back then folks who, say, had type ii diabetes were entirely literally uninsurable in many states. Generally those states were the same ones where it was also nearly impossible to get medicaid. The outcome of this is a lot of folks committed their fortunes to the local hospital, pre aca was not some halcyon era of good benefits for everyone.
Actually, hospitals do publish prices. Well they do and they don't. As in, good luck finding that price list. The Feds require them to do that so hospitalizations can be indexed for medicare.
> You can't fix the problem of your employer unfairly paying you less

Are people good judges of how much value they bring a company? You may think you deserve more pay, but you may also have a high opinion of yourself or over-estimate your skill/contributions/merit.

I think making salaries public information is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it reduces information asymmetry and gives you more negotiating power, but on the other it could probably lead to sour grapes and/or hurt feelings among employees where there was none before.
Everything in the US is a prison. The 1980 Olympic village in Lake Placid was built to be a federal prison, briefly functioned as the Olympic village housing athletes, and has functioned as a federal prison ever since then.

Not just modules, but classes too. I argue that the biggest benefit of OOP is encapsulation. It just makes it easier to compartmentalize concerns.
Ehh it's Intel. I think we can reasonably assume it'll be a little more expensive than it should be, but less expensive than it would have been in a pre-Ryzen world.
You just made those words up right now!
Explain to me what you mean by "supported by evidence?" Is it some kind of cost-benefit analysis? Because if so that's certainly denying a claim on the basis of saving money.

For crimes like this it isn't a matter of "reform" in the same way as when dealing with regular anti-social behavior by individuals. These are people who have been given huge amounts of resources and trust then betrayed us all. I would be very happy for them to be permanently banned from any position in government for the rest of their lives. Instead, nothing happens to them and they fail upwards.

If you are confident in your ability to stop them at the checkpoint if they actually try to board a plane, why arrest immediately when you can try to obtain more leads?
I’d take a guess the majority of OOP-haters hate it because “when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail” syndrome.

That syndrome can lead to over-abstraction and tight coupling of objects.
Thanks. I will check that out.
I believe that there WERE 100 other airborne divisions in the past, they just do not exist anymore. World War II required a lot of divisions airborne or otherwise.
No, it starts even lower than that. The data center employees are usually in the 40s.
The students just wanted to be measured against the objective standard that they were promised.

This doesn't require assumptions of naïveté on their part about equality of opportunity w.r.t teaching quality, schools resources and so on.
Well, you've still got the graph of neuron connections, but there are also weights on those connections. (In artifical neural networks, the graph is the architecture, and the weights are pretty much everything...) Per the article:

"Ion channel proteins change shape in response to the electric field across the membrane, opening or closing pores; at the synapse shape-changing proteins respond to electrical changes to trigger the bursting open of synaptic vesicles to release the neurotransmitters, which themselves bind to protein receptors to transmit their signal, and complicated sequences of protein shape changes underlie the signalling networks that strengthen and weaken synaptic responses to make memory, remodelling the connections between neurons."

Can the weight of a connection be surmised after oxygen deprivation? Or are the chemical changes that happen under oxygen deprivation irreversible (from an information theoretic viewpoint)?

I think multi-paradigm is better. I hate that in Java I have to have classes to do most things. Whereas in C I can just have a function. I wish more languages approached things like D or Python. Let the developer figure out what they actually need and fully empower them.

This is not artificial food any more than bread or cheese are artificial. Also, the scientists developing this technology are not advocating that people only eat Solein; in fact it seems like they're marketing it more as an extra ingredient that can be added to other foods that will increase the protein levels.

It also seems like you're confusing this company with companies like Soylent that are trying to create a nutritionally complete smoothie. You're correct that we probably don't understand nutrition well enough yet to make a single food that would lead to optimum nutrient levels, but in my opinion it doesn't really matter. Almost all humans are somewhat nutritionally deficient; eating a food designed to have optimum nutrient levels will probably make you less deficient than average and you can always supplement a Soylent diet with other foods.
Kind of disagree - in theory you can, but everyone in your org needs to do so. You can't be a "a bit functional". And also depending on external libraries might be an issue.

In practice most OOP code will violate some functional stuff.
>I'm still baffled by how little punishment there was for Iran-Contra

I'll tell you why you're baffled. Those kinds of issues tend to be very complicated because the world is complicated and messy. However people don't do well with grey and nuance, so instead they try to map it to something they can get a handle on that match their world-view and ideology and reinforce by reading highly partisan summaries (where the opinion just so happens to match their own) and staying in a bubble with other like-minded partisans.
> So why don't we see a huge "adoption" in math fields ?

Because most math fields work at a higher level, and whether they consider set theory or category theory foundational doesn't matter. For instance, the defining property of ordered pairs is: `(a, b) = (c, d) iff a = c and b = d`. {a, {a,b}} is a (set-theoretic) model for ordered pairs, but it's not the only model. As long as a model exists, the question of "which model you're using" isn't relevant.

Have you considered that it might be affected by locale, and be more prevalent in some areas than others? I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and I never heard of this and have never seen a card.

These are entry level salaries? I guess the cost of living in Ohio is dirt cheap but I would guess an entry level salary to be half of that now. Edit: I guess the cost of living is way less than half though.
It's much better to have selective enforcement of a law that says "this is a judgement call" than to have selective enforcement of a law that says "this is a crime".

The latter is literally encouraging the populace to commit crimes. The latter is hard to challenge the selectivity of in court because it is theoretically strict liability. The latter results in the unelected enforcement officials making up the criteria entirely instead of being given criteria by the elected officials.
I heard that it was done that way during a leveling revamp to avoid confusion with the previous scheme.

I fail to see how a system where after a long and arduous battle with an illness spend several months sending letters and making phone calls with my insurance provider because they won't pay the bills for my treatment is better than a system where a single payer simply pays at a set rate for specific treatments. The whole point of the "insurance" system in the US seems to be to make everyone waste several hours a week on top of the time they spend being sick.
It seems like to protect against this, I should have a long password and not use words (e.g. mix numbers for letters). Is that correct?
> Now, if you say you don't value Ray Tracing and DLSS, then I'd agree that it makes little sense to upgrade from a 2080 Ti to a 3070 or up.

I think the thing is though - how many people use DLSS and how many people use ray tracing? I'm going to guess very few. This is all the games that support ray tracing and/or DLSS. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/09/01/confirmed-ray-tr... That list is horribly short. I don't even play any of the games on that list!

Again, the amount of people using the tensor cores and what not is trivially small. I'll be excited if the benchmarks come out and show a 50%+ gain across the board with all games. Until then - I remain skeptical. This just seems like a price cut on a ridiculously overpriced amount of cards. The fact that the 2080 Ti is still $1200 after 2 years of being out is atrocious. Nvidia went ultra-capitalist with their last generation.
This is absolutely correct. In fact, most of their master price list is artificially inflated as a negotiating point with insurance companies. If you are unable to negotiate before your care, you get the hospital's mater price list price.

The worst part is most medical care is inelastic, meaning you don't really get to pick and choose, like in an emergency.
Finally, something to go with my pirate metal.

When that is the case, it means that the ambient is so toxic that a peaceful coexistence is only possible due to a ridiculous amount of taboo and secrecy (this is social manipulation 101). I say, to hell with these workplaces; they'd better collapse sooner than later.
For local networks I use the builtin python http server `python3 -m http.server` (or `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` in 2.x). By default it binds to all so anyone on your network can access it.
Relavent paragraph,

> “I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race,” he says, holding my gaze. “Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

Imagine boycotting a movie, because a character is black. Imagine messaging someone just to spew racist comments at them.

Because the police force would spend approximately 100% of its time writing jaywalking citations and courts would spend approximately 100% of its time dealing with the administration of jaywalking offenses.

I think a charitable way to think about it is that jaywalking can sometime be a serious threat to public safety but most of the time its harmless. So we have a law against jaywalking in general but in practice its more like a law against jaywalking that causes a breach of public safety. But the latter condition is hard/impossible to really codify so in practice the best way to deal with it is just make a law against jaywalking and then make the second condition discretionary on the part of law enforcement. It is of course abused frequently (police may be much more likely to hassle minorities or people who "look suspect") but I'm not sure the alternatives would be better on net
I don't think it's necessarily cynicism, just a healthy skepticism of my own critical thinking abilities.

Something can be intuitive and seemingly sound and have the real world practical effect of only lining someone's pockets without actually delivering the promised improvements. I think, within reason, it's a good thing to not implicitly trust your own reasoning, and I also think it's good to get an understanding of the motives of whoever is trying to persuade you to their way of thinking.
