Which is ridiculous. The whole point of a legal system is to ensure that even the weak can exist without being bullied by the strong.
Another language that supported this was Northern Telecom's PROTEL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protel) from the 1980s.

The operator is written "->" and is informally called a "gazinta" ("goes into").
The longest queue is still up to 15-19 months long. There may be some expired streams that are taking longer than that, but none of the current immigration streams are supposed to take anywhere near that long.
Yes yes, orange man bad.
The "globalists" are also in favor of illegal immigration, because it provides them with cheap labor (gardeners, nanny's, construction workers), while never providing any threat to their livelihood - the illegal immigrants are not competing for white-collar and professional jobs. The people whose livelihoods are adversely affected are the poorest people in the US, working unskilled and minimally skilled jobs
Hi everyone, I made this a while ago just for fun. Perceptron was one of the first algorithms I wrote back in college when I was taking machine learning classes. So I thought how cool would be to write something fairly modern (not really) like a neural network using old tech like cobol. Hope you like it.

The guy you want to be mad at is actually the author of this article! He's the one behind Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. As another comment said, I wonder how much of this is him trying to alleviate his conscience for the world he helped create when he started spreading his addiction causing message across business schools and companies.

Carl Sagan used cannabis, and we can al agree he was a rather smart guy.

However weed strains back then had a different CBD/THC ratio than the ones today.
> Bad faith and basically anything that is only in your mind is such a difficult thing to prove and that's why it is so problematic.

While true, this is to a certain extent the reason why we have judges. We already rely on judges to dismiss lawsuits that are illegitimate, and since filing an illegitimate lawsuit demonstrates either incompetence or malice nothing really needs to be proved about the state of the lawyers mind.

The DoJ obviously shouldn't rush into a case poorly prepared. At the same time though, antitrust issues with Google have been known for so long, and the DoJ itself has been preparing the case for so long... At some point I'd like to see the actual case filed. After all, after being filed this case will take years to work its way through the courts.

Sure it could be for political reasons but it's also possible that Barr just set the deadline to ensure that the lawyers get a move on already instead of dragging their feet.
I personally really like the photograph, it feels like it’s in the spirit of his work. Anarchism is a bit cheeky
It makes the comparison with an ICE vehicle much more direct. Instead of "cheap car plus expensive fuel" vs. "expensive car plus cheap electricity", it's "car plus fuel" vs. "car plus battery rental".

Also, just thinking about it now, it helps mitigate risk due to fluctuating demand because the cost to own and operate the vehicle scales down more at light usage.
My new build flat in London has district heating like you describe. It's a complete nightmare and I wish I could get rid of it.

Firstly, it's incredibly expensive. There's no regulation on the price you can charge for heat, and there's no competition for supply like gas and electric. So the apartment freehold owners charge eye watering fees for it. I could save probably 50-75% a month even paying for the cost on a new boiler, plus a service package.

Secondly, there are a lot of outages. Much more than I've ever experienced with standard boilers.

The outages are quite literally out of your control, unlike a gas/electric boiler where you can get someone to fix it out of hours. One particularly bad outage was nearly 48 hours in winter over a weekend, caused by incompetent building management and a seeming inability to get highly specialised parts from Germany to the UK to fix it on a weekend.

I've obviously had normal boilers break down but usually they can be fixed in a couple of hours, at least temporarily enough to get a proper fix sorted.

I think it's more ironic (maybe, I'm never really sure how about what use of ironic is the 'technical' one and which one is the Alanis Morissette one) that the author of the article literally wrote the book on how to build habit forming products and services that constantly attract your attention and distract you.

The backstory [1] is than Nissan spent years being corporate jackasses to this guy in international legal systems, when he refused to sell.

A few million for something I don't care about? Sure!

A few million foregone to piss off a corporation who wronged a relative and tried to steal what was rightfully his? No question: nope. And I'd dedicate the page to reasons you shouldn't buy a Nissan.

Bitesize | Technical cofounder | San Francisco | Remote

We are looking for a technical cofounder who is extremely passionate about messaging and enabling companies to have personal relationships with customers at scale.

We are a small scrappy early stage startup with live paying customers and passion for helping companies succeed and treat their customers with the most personalized experience.

The product we are working on right now:

Zero second response: With the rise of instacart and amazon, people are becoming more impatient and expect things to happen right away. Nothing can be further from that than a company demo sign up form. The norm is to get "We'll get back to you in 24 hours!" when in reality people are ready to buy when they are filling out the lead form. Bitesize's zero second response enables customers to get a personalized text message from the company right away and start talking to a sales rep. We think customers shouldn't wait 1 day or even for 4 hours, they should hear back right away!

Text Drip Campaign: Most people are familiar with scheduled email drip campaigns... it sends emails that are scheduled to go out in the next 30 days for example. But email inboxes are becoming overwhelming, it's hard to grab someone's attention or be personal. Well, how about a text message drip campaign? We allow companies to trigger a text message drip campaign based on their website, Salesforce, Hubspot, or other triggers. Then the companies can send personalized text messages that actually sound like someone is personally texting you and respond.

Why aren't these products available in the market already? It's two things - we have an extremely unique point of view when it comes to texting. We believe every text message should sound like it came from a friend or a neighbor. We don't like marketing texts. Two, we have a secret weapon when it comes to navigating tricky TCPA regulations, so we can help protect our customers.

Are you ready for a ride of your lifetime? You would be a great fit if:

You are great at working independently and get hands dirty writing code
You work on a quick sprint basis and narrow down features to take no more than 2 weeks
You have great verbal and written communication skills, with experience putting tech specs together and like to define the features before jumping on it
You have experience managing scaled platforms (with 1,000+ concurrent users)
You take great responsibility for code on production server and make sure testing environment is highly similar to produciton environment
You take great effort to try to see it from the customer's perspective and build product form the customer's perspective.

Is this you? Email me at jess@bitesize.co
It will allow companies to compete above their scale if they don’t own huge battery operations, and probably force standard battery interfaces / easy customer install. That could make swapping batteries practical depending on the design.
When I had the flu a few years ago, I regretted not having a will. I texted a family member how to get my things in order, as that was all I could physically muster.

Then I got better. It wasn't as bad as the flu could get, but I felt what it feels like to have your body stop so totally that even going to the bathroom to vomit is a herculean task, danger heightened by the stairs I'd stumbled past. It felt like I was simply going to die. And many have it worse, even among those who live.

Of course, sometimes it's not too much. Broad range on these things.
Agreed, same problem in London. It literally seems to be 4x the cost of "normal" heat (in brand new buildings).
I'm curious if it was a light, medium, or heavy THC strain of cannabis that the subjects consumed. It would be nice to see a cognitive performance study for all prescription drugs.
TBH I think if major browsers ceased development for 5 years with the exception of bug and security fixes, the web would only get better. Right now it's a race between their "improvements" and ever more complicated web frameworks. You don't ever get to really _master_ the web platform.
A better example IMO is...

Before:

result = case value
when 5
...
when 4
...
end

After:

case value
when 5
...
when 4
...
end => result

The latter allows for some nicer formatting I think.
Not really. Both have robust competition in their respective primary product spaces. Google does not.
The vulnerabilities they found are laughable. Even with all of them fixed, what about infected disk firmware, compromised Intel Management Engine (or the AMD equivalent), or a subverted compiler [1]? On the system itself, or on a developer's machine.

And suppose you somehow fix all of that, and run it on a mathematically verified secure chip. How do you know vulnerabilities weren't inserted into the silicon, or perhaps the whole chip was swapped with a compromised one when you weren't looking. There's already been reports of factory compromised hardware for credit card readers.

With control of the entire USA as the prize, you can bet that's the level of attack you'll be dealing with.

Yes, I have the previous generation too (the one that looks like a globe mounted on top of a donut), and 'getting stuck' is something that has not happened in 6 years of ownership.

The only issue I have had with it is that the weight sensor gradually drifted and became miscalibrated, so my cat no longer triggered the timer when stepping on it; it turned out the pressure sensor is adjusted by a washer on a screw, and it had come a little too lose (=too heavy requirement).
Oh wow, this is quite clever. This is hacking in its pure, positive form. I love it.

Nit: "as Newton put it, inertia is why an object at rest tends to stay at rest." No, what Newton said is that an object in motion tends to continue in motion at the same velocity (and an object at rest tends to remain at rest, i.e. with velocity=0).

While this doesn't have a lot to do with the original article (hence my "nit"), it was revolutionary at Newton's time. People had observed objects at rest staying there; that's why you can sit on a chair. But they had also observed that any object in motion (except for those in the sky) slowed down and eventually stopped, unless you kept pushing them. Newton attributed this to friction.

This theory--which contradicted what people could plainly observe with their eyes--is what makes possible satellites (and keeps the moon in orbit), since being outside the atmosphere, they experience very little friction. Of course the other thing necessary for man-made satellites is a way to get them moving fast enough, for which Newton's third law comes in handy (it's why rockets accelerate, even outside the atmosphere).

That's for peak power. Efficiency is lost in the deformation bending and returning of the walls of each tire as it rolls. i.e. A really highly loaded tire needs to be really well pressurized to prevent overheating and failure due to the losses.
Older Fiesta dinnerware (especially in red) is quite famous for having Uranium in the glaze prior to World War 2, which was then confiscated for the war effort. I believe they then returned to using Uranium in the glaze after the war for a few years.

User @jaywalk said you live in a fantasy but it is actually an understatement! How come you have never heard of the "American Service-Members' Protection Act", which Bush signed into law SPECIFICALLY for de-facto preventing ICC from ever trying a US citizen for war crimes???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr...

https://www.wearethemighty.com/us-can-invade-the-hague

"...In 2002, then-President George W. Bush signed the American Service-Members' Protection Act into law, authorizing the use of military force to free its citizens from incarceration and trial by the International Criminal Court. The act, dubbed the "Hague Invasion Act" for the name of the city in the Netherlands where the ICC holds prisoners, allows the President to use the American military to free its service members or those of any allied country who might be captured for trial there. More menacingly for potential U.S. allies, the act allows the United States to end military assistance for signatory countries to the ICC treaty, unless they agree not to extradite American citizens to The Hague."

That law explicitly authorizes the US military to INVADE the Netherlands and attack the ICC in order to free a US citizen on trial there. Netherlands is a NATO member, just like the US!! Not to mention a party to a number of other non-aggression pacts the US has with most Western European countries. That law Bush pushed for and signed makes the entire NATO idea a freaking joke. No country is safe if it ever dares to arrest US military members, no matter how horrible the war crimes committed by them. As they say in the commercials "but wait, there is more!" There are also multiple secret executive actions and DOJ "legal opinions" accompanying that fascist/evil law and the rumor is those secret amendments authorize covert LETHAL action by US special forces against foreign government officials (or any other foreign individual for that matter) working towards bringing a US citizen to trial at the ICC in Hague.

So, I would be thrilled to know what customs officials you have in mind that would be willing to get assassinated (covertly) for doing ANYTHING that can be construed by the US as aiding/abetting the capture and bringing a US citizen to ICC for a war crime trial. Even if you find such kamikazes, no country would dare issue orders authorizing its own officials to perform such acts against US military personnel.

So, no offense, but what world exactly are you living in!?!?
The event you are referring to was also a freak event. The Tohoku earthquake was the 4th largest _ever_ recorded and the largest ever recorded in Japan (by 0.2M, it is a log scale btw). The closest earthquake to that, in the region, in the previous 100 years was 0.7M lower (and the 6th largest ever recorded, in the area). The Tohoku earthquake also resulted in one of the largest tsunamis ever recorded.

We should note that a lot of rare things happened all at once, more than just the freak earthquake and freak tsunami. There is no such thing as perfect. But consider that there were no lives lost due to the reactor accident. Yes, there is economic damage, but that is the worst. Lives were not lost and the environment was not irreparably damaged. Nature has actually started to take back the region and it more looks like a scene out of I Am Legend rather than The Road or The Book of Eli. I do not intend to dismiss the event, as it is concerning (and we've learned a lot since then), but however you measure it coal or oil or gas have had far greater environmental (or human/health) impacts than nuclear. The difference is that it is more in our mind. Despite the Fukushima cleanup estimate (2x Chernobyl's) costing about 9x Deep Water Horizon (2010) I'll let you decide what costs more[0], even if we ignore all the costs to health and atmosphere. There simply is no free lunch.

That previous commentary on part 2 hasn't explored the larger statistical significant over time. Yes, it _can_ cause problems, but there is far more evidence to show deficiency, and far less evidence to show that even when taken at high levels there aren't many cases of problems, and those problems are not very severe.

Here's some studies regarding vitamin toxicity and specifically Vitamin D3 including death rates:

>The great thing about repurposing a class as a namespace is I can pass that repurposed namespace package anywhere.

namespaces can be passed anywhere anyway.

>The number + 1 or x 1 doesn't require an object or oop. It doesn't require a function either and would be better to just inline.

+ 1 and x 1 are just examples. If you take the examples and make it more complex the problem still remains.

An inlined expression is still a function. It's just not named.

y = function(x){return x+1;

b1 = 1 + y(2)

x = 2
b2 = 1 + (x + 1)

In the above code y(2) and x = 2; x+1; are equivalent.

Maybe. But often people don't look at the TCO.

You are going to need to scale that database up and down, regularly do backups and then test those backups, integrate and manage monitoring, ensure it is highly available across different data centres, ensure you are testing new releases/patches and then managing the upgrades e.g with canary releases etc.

Or you can just use the DaaS and get all of that for free as well as 24/7 support when something bad happens.

I agree, the difference between some strains of cannabis can seem as wide as the difference between alcohol and caffeine. I suspect none of it is doing me any favors in the long run, but I'm very productive with some strains but locked to a couch with others.
