I can be wrong, but as far as I know, Go language's specification also does not define how goroutines are to be implemented.

5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we
be sober, it is for your cause.

5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge,
that if one died for all, then were all dead: 5:15 And that he died
for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though
we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him
no more.

5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The same companies that overpay for real estate over pay for talent which has ruined the rental market for residential housing in these areas.

The author/site mentions that in practice snprintf isn't portable on Unix platforms because a number of implementations of it are botched.

But he even contradicts himself in that post. He has an example of a modern experiment where people select brunettes over blondes because of rarity.

So if european whiteness is a product of sexual selection of rare blondes, why didn't it swing the other way when the majority of the population were blonde? In some parts of Sweden and Finland, 85% of the adults are blonde, how could it ever go way above 50%? If the hypothesis was true, then people in those areas would have strongly selected brunettes and reversed it?

I think when you say "Silicon Valley Tech Wunderkinds Will Only Ever Have 1 Good Business Idea During Their Entire Lives", it seems you mean they'll only have 1 successful business idea. That's what you seem to be getting at, and you argue yourself that a good idea isn't always a successful idea.
Maybe they won't be hit by a lawsuit but it would be dumb for them to even risk the possibility. Far better to just cut off API access and be done with. It's not like Dropbox's business model depends on the availability of anonymous torrent downloads and the people who want that.
Possibly the opposite, in fact.
Heard of Viking crusades? It happened partly because there was too many people living in Scandinavia. That happened because Scandinavian farming had gotten the population to get too big. You run out of reliable fishing sources long before you hit the grains maximum. You don't have to replace fish with grains, just introducing grains to the diet can increase risk of malnutrition.

On the contrary this explains nicely how Sami people can be darker than Germans. They lived of reindeer, bird trapping and fishing, even like hundred years ago. It explains why Finnish are somewhat darker than swedes, we relied on hunting and fishing far longer than Swedes did.

I find how this is now all playing out to be quite interesting, and a little amusing:

A few years back when there was really only one prominent open source UAV system (Paparazzi), nearly everyone was focused on turning (fixed-wing) radio-controlled planes into hobby UAVs. Back then we didn't have gyros or accelerometers, we used thermopiles to detect the heat difference between warm ground and the cold atmosphere on four axis. This worked well until it became night time or started raining, and required a baseline calibration before most flights.

When projects like OpenPilot and Ardupilot (aka. DIYDrones/3DRobotics) first started to appear they were focused on building UAV systems for planes with this same technology, multi-rotor vehicles where only just on the radar at that stage. They were expensive and to be frank, not very good at flying stable. Then game consoles like the Wii came along and over the next few years gyros and accelerometers started to become much cheaper.

OpenPilot and DIYDrones/3DRobotics initially started out developing with these new gyros and accelerometers in planes, but it wasn't really the right platform as planes tend to me more costly and fragile in a crash, which is inevitable when developing with these new technologies. OpenPilot initially started to adapt their system to multi-rotors (aka. quadcopters) as a way of quickly testing new code and new algorithms for planes. Unlike planes we could even now test code indoors.

Quad-copters started out as a utility, to lift heavy items or as a test-bed for fixed-win UAV algorithms. From there they have now become the first class citizen in the world of open source and hobby UAV projects.

I think this is all really just starting to ramp up. The hardware we need to build these systems is pretty much all there, it can get faster, smaller and cheaper but innovation there is nearing a plateau. On the other hand, I think software is still very much in it's infancy. There is still a long way to go in making these systems reliable and repeatable, and most importantly user friendly. We have progressed from having to re-compile under linux to change one PID setting value, but the barrier to entry is still quite high on the technical side of things.

I posted this as it really seems to be a trend (as mentioned in the article). The US border controls get more and more ridiculous for foreigners - but only in a security theater way. None of these moves seem like they could actually defend against any kind of threat.

Vault: generate passwords from master passphrase and service name
This is one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen. All it does is publicize the players. They're just taking the camera around the prominent scene figures, asking them all what they think of player A, and they all throw nothing but superlatives and hyperbole at the camera. Then they do the same for player B, and so on...

There's no evaluation in it whatsoever. It doesn't ask any questions. It's just a big circlejerk to up the publicity and the celebrity value of their players.
They encourage the closed-source model.

Closed-software cannot be used as a basis for innovation and improvement by people who could innovate and improve it, if given the chance.

I don't question that cereals are grown there, but I do question the hypothesis that the gulf stream is responsible for making cereals viable via warming the Baltic.

The author may be spot on with his cereal theory, but I'm not convinced by the suggested mechanism. The nascent fluid dynamicist in me doesn't see how a sea with only one tight opening can exchange enough water for a significant thermal exchange, one which would have to be pretty sizeable given the freezing. I could be wrong, but I do note that the 'gulf stream' graphic barely gets past Newfoundland, let alone showing the North Sea or the Baltic...

Exactly, and my point is that these homophobes, racists, etc. have much more in common with the Nazis than their passports make them believe.

Good point. And it's not even necessarily about abuse of monopoly, at least its traditional implications. Calling it justice or freedom seems melodramatic, but I don't have better langage for it.

For example, paypal's advantage is (supposedly) in fraud detection. But they aren't picking up on fraud, they are picking up on fraud risk. An individual or business can register as risky for some apparently arbitrary reason and effectively be banned from a big slice of online commerce. Paypal have no mandate to provide a service to everyone, they might be better off banning 10% of the total population as high risk and passing those savings onto the remaining 90%.

Thats completely reasonable as a business decision. Not really different to simply deciding not to open a shop in Eindhoven. But when it's Paypal it becomes a justice/freedom issue. A person is disadvantaged without access to it.
