"Their conclusions were that while almost all African Americans are racially mixed, and many have family stories of Native heritage, usually these stories turn out to be inaccurate, with only 5 percent of African American people showing more than 2 percent Native American ancestry. Gates summarized these statistics to mean that, "If you have 2 percent Native American ancestry, you had one such ancestor on your family tree five to nine generations back (150 to 270 years ago)." Their findings also concluded that the most common "non-black" mix among African Americans is English and Scots-Irish."

The journalist who contacted me told me he did so because the software keeps coming up when he talked to pro players. While it's certainly not one to advance the science the most (talk to Noam Brown if you want that), not the fastest (talk to Oskari Tammelin about that), it's still very popular and the first to get big following. It changed the game and got into the online poker culture. I am quite proud of that and I think it's deserved to be mentioned a lot in an article about how computers changed poker.

Is that why basically everyone in America has some sort of always-connected smartphone with more computing power than a laptop from 2008 did? Citing telecom infrastructure as your example is just arguing in poor faith as it's well known American telecom infra is an oligopoly/monopoly.

Heat pump water heating works with surprisingly low temperatures. For example, if your basement naturally approaches 45-50 degrees from the walls, that's plenty to keep a 50-80 gallon tank heated without drawing heat from the rest of the house in the winter. During the other seasons, any incidental cooling is of course a benefit.

There are historical evidence to the contrary. The 19th century saw no large scale world wars, and yet they didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction. There are many theories as for the cause of the relative peace of the 19th century, but prominent theories include a mass disarmament of the world’s superpowers. Relative to the 18th century (which did see a world war; the 7 years war) countries were spending only a fraction of what they used to on their military. You can argue whether the peace caused the decreased spending or vice-versa but there is some evidence of correlation here and the spending part we can control.

Currently there are 9 states which control nuclear weapons. By far the majority of all active weapons belong to just two states. If USA and Russia would agree to at least lower their nuclear arsenal to that of the third state—China, you make the world at least that much safer.

But I want total elimination of these weapons of terror, and so does the governments of 86 countries (and growing). And the UN comity which is comprised of numbers of experts these issues has reached the same conclusion that total elimination is both necessary and feasible. I guess you can disagree with their findings, and who am I to argue with that.
Oh my…so brilliant!!! You are going to experience what users do?! Wow, who would have thought that’s a good idea! This guy must be the founder of a multi billion dollar company, right?

Anyway, you shouldn’t need to announce this and get all that PR or whatever. You should just be doing this all the time. Why? Because that is how you build products that solve problems / build things people really need.

I come from Stanford, and I know all these finance people, and I do all this data analysis and you investors should all give me money because I can converse intelligently. Blah blah.

Build fucking good products by living as a user of your product. No hubris here, but I signed up the first couple thousand of my users by busting my ass on the streets asking everyone to check out my product. From observing them I learned their needs and how to build something solid. We blow everything that competes out of the water and are experiencing growth that would make the incumbents cry, especially because we are going to eat their lunch in the next few years. Dumped $1.6M of my own money into the company to do it, no investors. Moved to a foreign country multiple times to work with outsourced dev teams so I could afford it. Sleeper on floors, built awesome relationships. And best of all, my product ameliorates society so out KPIs are how much are we helping people. Got the most inspired team that’s like family. Yada yada. Wouldn’t trade this life for anything and I have zero tech background and am a single founder. Yeeeeee
>The matter of whether a work has been successfully dedicated to the public domain (and when, and in what jurisdictions) is a matter for a court, not a matter to be arbitrarily decided or revoked at any time by the (at the time) copyright holder.

Right, and a judge could rule that, in fact, it is possible to arbitrarily revoke free licensing at any time.

It's heavy on plants but plants seem like a trickier source for fossil foods since most plants we eat are domesticated and/or otherwise evolutionarily recent - we eat lots of grasses.

> “Meta aims to be able to simulate you down to every skin pore, every strand of hair, every micromovement,” said Noelle Martin, a legal reformer who has spent more than a year researching Meta’s human-monitoring ambitions with the University of Western Australia. “The objective is to create 3D replicas of people, places and things, so hyper-realistic and tactile that they’re indistinguishable from what’s real, and then to intermediate any range of services . . . in truth, they’re undertaking a global human-cloning programme.”
It's still significant because it speaks to people being more willing to admit to being part Native.

My father actively downplayed his 1/16th Cherokee blood quantum -- and a lot of Natives are quite vocal about hating the whole idea of blood quantum, but that's probably more than people here want to know -- and I grew up in a house in the 'burbs bought the summer I turned three with his military mortgage benefits.

In the New York and northern New Jersey suburbs 67,000 mortgages were insured by the G.I. Bill, but fewer than 100 were taken out by non-whites.

He never said much about his Native heritage. I think he did so to be white-passing in a world where lynchings still happened.

I am actively trying to learn about the cultural heritage I was denied apparently largely due to fear of violent white supremacists, basically.

Dismissing the interest in their heritage of people like me is just more erasure of Natives and Native culture. It actively reinforces racism in subtle ways. The subtlety helps make it insidious and hard to combat, unfortunately.
Of course the Statue of Liberty & Empire State Building were the undisputed 1/2 (in either order) NYC landmarks for many decades before the WTC arrived.

The Empire State Building had been the tallest building in the world for almost 40 years, from 1931-1970.

It was arrival of the taller WTC twin towers in 1970, & to a lesser extent the proliferation of other midtown skyscrapers, that gradually chipped away at the Empire State Building's literal & figurative prominence.
I would too, but I'd like some hard data on this. For example, how much slower? 2 times? 10 times? 100 times? Is this an initial cost or a cost paid on all features? Is maintenance easier? Harder?
Imagine if you were a C developer who needed to create some web do-dads, this is probably a fantastic stack. If there was 1 right solution for the perfect stack we'd all be using it.
What you are saying is that UML is not really visual but rather a kind of text. This got me thinking. The text I am writing here is also on one level just text - but I see it as a visual representation of black dots on a white background. But I think the point of diagrams is to be really visual and of text to be text.

Think of how much knowledge of the environment that we rely on to survive has been lost. Yea we’ve achieved a lot of amazing things, I won’t discount that, but our incentives could be better aligned with respecting and ameliorating, if not preserving, the “natural” world.
Not really. Does Bitcoin's security increase when this mining council increases its mining power? They already have 46% so increasing it only makes it less secure. Increasing the hashes only increases energy consumption then.

Also, this formulation of "security" is very misleading. For the layperson, security means the probability of not losing my money. For the cryptographer it means the amount of random guessing you would need to break encryption. So every system that uses the same kind of encryption is equally secure.

I can only speak from my observation of the tribes local to me.

In the 80s and early 90s the reservation was very poor on average (entire area is/was rural so it wasn't just on the res but it was significantly worse there). If you have ever watched the movie "Smoke signals" it has scenes shot which depict life on the local reservation (Coeur d'Alene tribe). Since the mid 90s or so things changed very rapidly for the tribe. The people are healthier, the infrastructure is better and the population seems to be growing and overall happier (again...observations).

What changed? Casinos.

Our local tribe went from being very poor with seemingly little voice in local politics to "very important" to the local community. They have not only improved their own lives but also invest heavily in improving the region and have a focus on things like the lake and natural preservation. Again...from my general observations...
I guarantee you arming random train yard workers or whatever you are envisioning is going to just lead to them being killed before they hear a peep and their guns being stolen, serials stripped, and sold. The bad guys will have the drop and the good guys aren't going to shoot first. The only good guys with guns that are able to stop bad guys with guns are SWAT who come in and can create a controlled environment to conduct a controlled response. Arming security guards and your average grunt cop just does more harm than good. Taking a gun out into the field should be a thoroughly planned affair like how SWAT operates.

More likely there's a sizable portion of the said electorate that's sick of bearing the brunt of this failed sociological experiment pushed by progressive gaslighting.

This is an explanation for why they designed their own seats, and basically amounts to "existing seats were uncomfortable." That makes sense when the status quo is junk, but now they've got a good seat, what does it matter who manufactures it?

Are they expecting to do a lot of further seat innovating in the future? Does seat technology have a rapid rate of change?

"Businesses" is not a useful distinction here, because an individual can be a business in their personal capacity.

We consider and integrate all kinds of solutions, accounting for building geometry is just one of them, and we do thorough validation to ensure it's actually helping. There's always various tradeoffs being made.

Ideally, clients will be using our Fused Location Provider API [0] which fuses any (or all) of GNSS, WiFi, accel, gyro, mag... with smoothing + filtering to provide the best location possible at any time while automatically managing power compromises; in effect, using WiFi + accel, as you described, along with more signals and filtering. However, some clients still choose to use pure GPS/GNSS, for various reasons.

Part of providing the best location experience possible (while simultaneously minimizing power drain...) is providing high accuracy at every percentile. Some techniques that may improve the average or median percentile error may cause higher errors at the 90% percentile. For example, let's say we check for "impossible" GNSS position jumps, and just ignore those. What if 10% of the time, the position it's jumping to is actually closer to the true position - since suddenly we might have better line of sight - and previously we were stuck at a worse estimate? What might help in one situation might hurt more in another. It's hard to build robust systems to handle every possible scenario and condition (on all sorts of different kinds of hardware from tons of vendors, since anyone can launch an Android device). It's even harder because, as you can image, smartphone grade sensors are magnitudes worse than those you find in survey or military grade hardware.

Also, WiFi-based localization can only be as good as the estimate of WiFi access point location, which isn't always great (and it's usually worse so since WiFi signal strength localization isn't that great), so GNSS is generally higher accuracy under good conditions (and hence rectifying GNSS error wherever we can is one of our goals), and the error of accel/gyro based dead-reckoning grows quadratically/cubically (due to double integration errors), so it doesn't get you very far.

Back when texting (SMS) was still a big thing, you had a choice to either write in English letters and enjoy 140 char limit per message or write in Cyrillic and have it reduced to 70 chars. Many were doing the former. I assume many other countries with non-latin alphabet had the same.
