That would cost more CPU for the same result.

The lack of an objective test is more problematic tan the lack of a cure.

The same argument leads a rational person to stop obsessing about the supposed morality of killing humans. The touchy-feely appeal to "think about the suffering of the _humans_" is likewise species-ist

Yes,

HN has rich chronicle of Vinod Khosla's long-running war on the people of California:

Since the USA does not have a long history of legal segregation against Hispanics, there are no Hispanic colleges.

However, there are Hispanic Serving Insitutions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic-serving_institution

I also wonder how much you cared about Hispanic schools before you heard about someone helping a Black school. Why the sudden interest?

big cities on the coasts, and the Southwest, and the Southeast, so, everywhere except the Plains states

Also, Palo Alto is a big city on the coast.

interactive commands should abort the command on unset variable

That doesn't solve the problem that parent incorrectly explained.

    echo "$(false)"

    $ cat /tmp/test.sh
    set -euvx
    export SHELLOPTS
    echo "$(false)"
    echo "echo of string with failed subcommand does not kill script"
    $(false)
    echo "but consuming exit code does"
        
    $ /tmp/test.sh        
    export SHELLOPTS
    + export SHELLOPTS
    echo "$(false)"
    false
    ++ false

    echo "echo of string with failed subcommand does not kill script"

    $(false)
    false

Examples of Google’s programs include:

● Google’s Computing and Programming Experience (CAPE): This four-week experience is for 8th graders to gain exposure to CS. This summer we will have around 130 students, and we hope to further expand this content to organizations and schools around the country. We are looking to test this new model with MS2 in Washington, DC this summer.

● LEAD Program for Computer Science: This is a rigorous and exciting summer residential program for underrepresented minority students in grades 9-11, held at four universities in its upcoming inaugural year..

● Trailblazer Award: This is an award (in Europe) that is given internationally for participation in national science fairs. Winners are all treated to a 2-day Trailblazer retreat with fellow winners to learn more about the possibilities of a career in CS.

● Counselors for Computing: This program trains counselors to teach their fellow guidance counselors the benefits of CS degrees. Through our partner members at NCWIT, we are hoping to scale impact through these critical influencers.

● CS4HS is an initiative sponsored by Google to promote CS and Computational Thinking in high school and middle school curriculum by hosting CS teachers at campuses worldwide to learn about leading edge practice in the field.

● Computer Science Teachers Association: We are an ongoing supporter of the CSTA and, in particular, recently hosted their CS&IT symposium for 200 CS teachers at our Mountain View campus.

Google is doing that (not exactly for HBCUs, but for underrepresented subpopulations) https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/engres.html

"Two body problem" refers to a married couple. It is p^2 as hard to find good jobs near a potential home.

If NYC was such a bad idea, why is it a massive portion of the US economy?

Small city has 0 or 1 employers that are larger than local in scope. It's fine if you are an accountant or dentist or carpenter and there aren't too many like you in town already, but what if you work in a specialized industry?

Financial Times has nearly no ads.

Why is a full feed of quality news worth less to you than Netflix?

Is section 3.1 "20%" time still true?

would/should

There are billions of dollars of difference between "would" and "should"

Who is "they" who act like it's super-awesome?

Then you have to run a tool that processes .go source files in order to perform dependency analysis. Consistency is a virtue.

Let's see which regulations get cut first. So far, it's not the government contracting regulations.

Bonus: when Trump "freezes the size of Federal employment" do you think that will be match by a freeze in contracting, or a boost in crony contracts?

He's promoting _jobs_, but also promoting pollution and cuts to healthcare, wages, and job safety.

Yes. The post you are replying to said, essentially, "lack of macroscopic quantum behavior => P != NP, because macroscopic quantum behavior => P=NP", which is obviously flawed logic.

How does "polynomial" imply "practically tractable"?

If P = NP, the exponent may well something like x^100 or x^(# of atoms in the Universe)

you just gave two vague definitions and also said it has shades of meaning -- that's what "ill-defined" is.

Not just animals robots, humans will project emotions onto other humans. We see a photo of someone's face, or look at someone who isn't making any particular expression, and imagine an emotion based on transient artifacts captured at a single point in time. See also: "resting bitch face" and all the memes featuring baby's faces.

This reminds me of the time Google manipulated their SERP to hide holocaust revisionist information.

It reminds you of .. the article you are commenting on, today?

OK, who should it be driven by then? A monarch? Democratic vote?

The manuscript is two hundred and twenty-five millimetres tall, a hundred and sixty wide, and five centimetres thick.

"met_re_s" in an American publication?

In this case, it's obviously just the New Yorker spelling out words and mixing scales just to increase word count/diversity to give the article a more mysterious pseudo-intellectual feel, as is the style of the magazine. The New Yorker spins articles through a thesaurus before publication.

Considering that the venerated New Yorker(!) is blogspamming a Reddit(!) thread, they needed to do something to distinguish themselves from BuzzFeed.

Redundancy is a feature. What happens if army brass go off the rails?
