Yes, Australia and Siberia are also particularly prone to fires. Taiga biomes and Mediterranean climates in general are associated with wildfires.

To be frank I don't really see how California could deal with it. The state's population ballooned during an unusually wet period; if California had not been so unusually wet during the later half of the 19th century into the 20th century, I doubt it would be so heavily populated today. Encouraging people to leave small towns and come to defensible cities is probably the most realistic 'solution.'

How to Navigate Being the Only Woman on Your Team
My team has been tracking its story-point-based velocity for about 20 months. The team's composition, product, and structure has been largely unchanged. We started tracking when we were newly formed, and we continued to use the same methodology until we shipped GA.

When not focused on just one objective and not under deadline pressure, the team's average story point velocity per week was 30. This was when we tracked anything and everything we did. When we've track against a launch, where we only focused on the minimum set of tasks we needed to meet a clearly-defined objective with inter-team dependencies and a deadline, the team's average velocity has been 12.

We don't use story points alone in forecasting timelines. What we do is presume a per-dev weekly velocity of (12 / team size). With all of the tasks on a chart, we work with the team to assign tasks to individuals, and we create a strawman schedule for how all the work gets done to meet the timeline. The "length" of each bug is a function of (12 / time size). We track and reassess how all the tasks are coming along on a weekly basis, with the understanding that the "strawman" schedule will end up looking different than we initially project.

For example, take a team size of 6. Then the story points per week per dev is (12 / 6 = 2). Story points per weekday is (2 / 5). So for a task of size 3, we expect one dev to take ((5 / 2) * 3 = 7.5) days to complete, and so the length of the task on the timeline is (rounded up) 8 days.

Then we bring the "fudge factors" into play. For the devs who are more productive we tend to schedule them back-to-back with the tasks that are more urgent and/or are blockers. For the devs that tend to need more time, we keep a lot of whitespace between the end of their assigned tasks and the deadline.

The only time this methodology has gotten us into trouble is when we've caved to pressure by upper management to say we can actually do 15 story points per week or whatever. The most important thing is to measure actual velocity under as similar conditions as you can, and then refuse to accept any projection with a velocity other than you've actually observed. Story points are opaque outside of your team, and upper management is usually satisfied when you translate the story points into the schedule using the method I described.

Bhojpuri, Maithili, Haryanwi, Braj, Bundelkhandi, dialects from Rajasthan, Himachal and so and so forth, and I'll say even Khari boli are all dialects of Hindi. We may not be able to have a fluent conversation, but for most part we'll understand the context and will be able to speak. In fact Hindi dialects change every 100km or so I'll say in the Hindi belt.

Punjabi, Gujrati, Marathi and others (picking from areas neighboring the Hindi belt) are not dialects, they are languages, even though from that list Gujrati and Marathi use Devnagri script (or very close to it).
I hate to rain on your project but...

I'm not convinced this style of blinker is a good idea as they are considerably more demanding of attention to understand for other drivers. That might seem like a good thing, but it really isn't. In part because they use an unusual signalling patterm and in part because the cycle time for this pattern is too long in your case.

At the very least I think I would at least double the speed of the animation to lessen the amount of time people looking right at them. Also, these lights seem awfully bright. Especially at night, this might endanger other drivers in confusing situations. You may want to add some ambient light sensing so you can adapt the brightness to the ambient lighting conditions.

Think of attention as a budget. You have X amount of time to look at and understand things around you in traffic. The more time you allocate to one thing, the less time you will have for the dozens of other things you need to keep an eye on. A common mistake when driving is to spend too much of your attention budget on one thing. You really don't want other drivers to spend 2-3 seconds staring at your blinkers. Ideally they shouldn't need more than 500ms or so.

As a fellow motorcycle rider, what I would recommend would be to find traditional turn signals mounted on stalks further from the centerline of the motorcycle. Those are much more of an improvement since they communicate more clearly and are far less "remarkable" and attention-demanding. I know, this is boring, but in my view, a much safer option.
This is why the current news-noise world is awful. If we just look at minor things for now, you can find all sorts of unfounded opinions in every FB thread on Trump or on the virus. People on FB can now link an article that says whatever they want, and it's not good for public discourse.

The tell-tale sign of political "thinking" is that you come across a lot of people who think all the evidence points one way. I always think twice when someone presents every decision as an obvious, here-are-10-reasons-and-no-rebuttals case. Such cases are actually a lot more fragile than here-are-some-pros-and-some-cons cases, where the author falls to one side or the other based on some valuation.

With Trump and the virus, this has gotten out of hand. It won't take you long to find badly supported opinions either way on those topics.

I downvote very sparingly. I try to upvote points of view I disagree with, especially when they are in response to my own comments. I believe this policy encourages interesting discussion.

I reserve the downvote for comments that are mean-spirited or total non-sequiturs. I flag even more rarely, and that's for blatant bad behavior. I avoid engaging in any way at all on threads that deal with political issues I feel strongly about. Any engagement, even downvotes, is fuel for the fire.

Let's see now. A device that has no onboard microphone, no camera, and an architecture that makes the surest it's possible to be that nothing unknown is between your keyboard, screen or headset, and the (inspectable) encryption algorithm. No binary blobs, not even uninspectable CPU microcode. Given the political situation in certain places in Asia, a device that either communicates securely or doesn't communicate at all, with no grey area inbetween, is more than a geeky obsession. It's a tool. Compare to all those fancy "hardened" Android phones where it turns out afterwards that the authorities had them tapped all along...
True. But since the author didn’t discuss these nuances and people reading this might be tempted to make the same mod, it’s prudent to bring up this point lest someone else isn’t aware of them. From experience in these discussions on e.g. /r/motorcycles people who do these mods are unaware of these issues until someone points them out in about 3 out of every four posts and the 1 our of 4 will often state that they don’t care because they can outrun the cops on a 1000cc sport bike anyways.

I encourage you to check out the book and reserve your opinion on its author:

>Kemp, neither loyal to the House of Bourbon nor Roman Catholic, also hadn’t been personally affected by the “Red Terror” political violence that had incited the conservative uprising. Still, he had been appalled at the bloodshed preceding the July 1936 outbreak of the civil war, explaining to a friend he couldn’t stand by while leftist mobs murdered people “simply because they were priests or nuns” or “because they had a little money or property.” [0]

We know now that while Republicans did massacre and rape civilians, the Nationalists did so too and on a much larger scale. But to someone on the ground in the middle of that chaos, with bullets and propaganda flying everywhere, I imagine the full picture would have been next to impossible to discern. We can only truly see what’s right in front of us.

Not having looked at vectorization so far I wondered if some ideas from CT reconstruction can be applied to image vectorization. In both cases you start with a base image that is projected on one (or in the case of tomography several) pictures. The goal is to retrieve the original.

The PRISM slide you're incorrectly referencing shows Skype collection beginning "2/6/11", which in our stupid American short-date format means June 2nd 2011. It's fine if you choose to believe that date has nothing to do with Microsoft's announced-in-May-2011 acquisition of a service that began operation in August 2003, but it's very rude of you to denigrate my completely reasonable observation as a "conspiracy theory". Enjoy your Skype calls :)

He's not a writer.

That's the distinction with which everyone is being bogged down.

George R. R. Martin is a storyteller. There's a difference. Stephen King is a writer. Michael Crichton was a writer.

Crichton summed up what it is to be a writer in the most simplistic and eloquent-in-its-brevity language I think I've ever heard: "If you're going to be a writer, then you have to write. You have to wake up every day and sit down and write. Can you imagine if a pilot woke up one morning and said, 'I don't feel like flying the plane today.'"

TLDR, I view this as the metadata treadmill:

A> Using X to mean `delete` is using up X such that you can't work on items that use X.

B> I checked and no one really uses X.

A> now you use X!

B> I checked and no one really uses Y, I'll use Y for X where X would have really meant X.

..

It doesn't mean null is good, it is simply available. A good meta has entirely different properties than null and those properties get you out of that treadmill.
That's because even a decade ago (well, a decade and a half, factoring in recent memory), the internet was a fundamentally different, much more open place. Now probably 90% of traffic exists in increasingly siloed walled gardens, which all take measures to ensure their content (and more importantly, you) stay there. (Hell, a good portion of that traffic isn't even from some general-purpose browser, it's from an app.) And circumventing that is pretty much the letter of the (poorly worded) law when it comes to the DMCA. It's not really the people that have changed, it's the internet that has.

(Sure, many parts of the internet are still open, but youtube isn't one of them.)
If they meant "A more powerful tool", the right way to express that is "more powerful", not "weaker/stronger".

However, if you look at that part of the article, they justify that statement by linking to this post [0] which is explicitly about how rust actually type-checks generics more strongly. The linked post has the opposite implication of what the author took it to mean, and that link makes it clear that they were referring explicitly to how they're typed, not to "actual effectiveness".

A few car models around here started having this style of indicator light a few years ago and I've noticed that they take a bit longer to process when you are at a busy intersection.

Just chiming in here: it’s almost all about the graph. If you have the graph, the content is almost irrelevant.

This is why Signal hiding the graph as best they can, using SGX, is incredibly important work. Say what you want about Secure Enclaves, we know of no better way to conceal social graphs.

Yes there is still potentially some metadata analysis that can be done at the server to coordinate IP addresses but we know signal doesn’t keep those logs because of their response to the sealed subpoena (which they successfully sued with the ACLU to unseal):

> They work in the exact same manner as in normal predicate (higher order) logic.

It is based on dependent products which you need to understand sooner-or-later (sooner, really), and are rather more intricate than FOL.

> Uh, are you talking about the normal identity function?

Ah, but that's the thing. It's not a function and it can't be (for the same reason you don't have an identity function in set theory). In TLA+ the meaning of terms is simpler, as there is a clear distinction between pure syntactic operators and domain objects (sets, but also functions). So in TLA+, you can have either:

Id(x) ≜ x

which is just parameterised syntax that does not denote any domain object, or perhaps you'd want:

Id(S) ≜ [x ∈ S ↦ x]

which is an operator defining the identity function on a given set.

In Lean, however,

universe u
def id {α : Sort u} (a : α) : α := a

which is similar in spirit to the second TLA+ definition, describes a rather complex object in the meta-domain.
while this is most interesting in terms of the topics of orwell's works, it is quite a partisan view of the war.

the reality in Spain was not as simple as foreigners thought, namely "fascism" vs "democracy". in fact, the coup was done by a coalition of many different right wing factions, and amongst them there were right wing republicans and traditional absolutists, not just falangists (spanish catholic fascists). also, they were not the first, as the left already tried a coup just a few years earlier against the right wing government, but failed.

the social and political factors that lead to the war are very, very complicated AND interesting; they can be even more revealing than the history of the Weimar republic and its consequences.

here is a very interesting, neutral and historical insight in what happened in Spain in an informational format:
