One thing I don't understand is how US, Japan and S.Korea led high-tech outsourced manufacturing efforts in China. As far as I understand everything is hunky dory starting with _Good will_ from Deng, until China became world's manufacuting hub. Only then it became a huge issue. My question is didn't any one consider China's current rise in late 80's and early 90's when they started outsourcing manufacturing?
Correlated to that US would also lose its huge influence in financial institutions world wide. Right now US influnce is preventing World Bank funds from being used to pay for One Belt projects. Few countries want to pay off loans for One belt project using Western loans. If China had been sole superpower, it would have bulldozed even more on projects similar to One Belt project than it is currently doing now.
At the timescale and costs needed to combat climate change, trees will be prohibitively expensive(land, fresh water) and slow. If reducing global carbon with plants was easy, governments wouldn't probably be complaining about protocols, solutions for almost 3 decades starting with Kyoto discussions. Can we stop mentioning planting trees as ultimate solution everytime carbon capture research comes up?
But, are the meaningful changed regarding information, education etc. caused by US or inspite of US? Technology and Science improving tremendously in 20th century had more to do with these changes. I would say WWI and WWII caused more of these technology and travel being available.
One of the stated goals of Go2 is forward and backward compatibility. We have to see how well this pans out when Go2 is released.
Go 2 must also bring along all the existing Go 1 source code. We must not split the Go ecosystem. Mixed programs, in which packages written in Go 2 import packages written in Go 1 and vice versa, must work effortlessly during a transition period of multiple years. We'll have to figure out exactly how to do that; automated tooling like go fix will certainly play a part.
Can you back up that lynching/WhatsApp with some numbers or statistics? Riots used to happen left and right in India for before 90's. A famous politician or actor died, a politician resigned or doing protest, religious demonstrations etc. Lot of the city will be closed. This situation got a lot better after economic liberalization and what followed. Is there a reversal to this trend that you are talking about?
And wait millions of years for that plants to turn in to coal and oil, drill oil for $$$
I'm not confident that Unions would work for huge issue that is coming up - Mass Mechanization. There will be very few jobs Robotics will not be able to replace in a decade or so. This will easily facilitate few people owning large chunks of means of production. I don't see any serious solutions to this issue on the horizon.
It's not just about throwing garbage into trash can. The main question is about how much of garbage is being recycled? And who will pay for the recycling if you mandate 5 different types of garbage and mandate maximum possible recycling? Many of the European countries have major focus on percentage of garbage being recycled. Some countries even reached 70% or so and have plans to increase it even further.
Same here. In addition, if I think I will visit certain website only once, I open it in private mode and disable umatrix for all domains in the site for a quick view.
Is TornadoFx supported native without JVM? AFAIK TornadoFx is just a layer around JavaFX. So, Kotlin/TornadoFx should use the same resources as Java+JavaFX.
I don't think openssl in phronix benchmarks use armv8 instructions, which makes those benchmarks unfair. There are benchmarks on cloudfare with openssl-devel, with hardware armv8, where arm performed decently. We have to wait and see how this pine64 does.
IITM will start with tapeout of microcontroller class(C-class) CPU. But IITM is designing mobile, server and HPC class CPUs.
It can be enabled with extension.
Issue bigger then demonetization is NPA. Banks need appx. $50 billion USD to comply with the new norms. These huge NPA's are given in UPA2 term. Your beloved Manmohan Singh didn't utter a word against this. When the banks are looted systematically.
It's not about using duckduckgo to search with google. I use it when duckduckgo results aren't good enough, instead of typing everything in google again. I have been using it less frequently recently.
Loans and sanctions. China helped SriLanka in UN when human rights issues came up. Also India's cultural influence is not an answer to everything. It has limited influence. Myanmar for example evicted Indians forcefully in 60's. Bangladesh and Nepal are trying to balance China and India influence.
India is still focusing on thorium. But slowly. Design for AHWR if recently finalized and site selection in progress.
What lossy compression? Were you guys throwing bits into /dev/null?
The OCaml garbage collector is a modern hybrid generational/incremental collector which outperforms hand-allocation in most cases. Unlike the Java GC, which gives GCs a bad name, the OCaml GC doesn't allocate huge amounts of memory at start-up, nor does it appear to have arbitrary fixed limits that need to be overridden by hand.
From the linked article. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have hard time believing this statement.

There is a competing hypothesis of Recent African origin that states humans evolved over 2 millions years in Eurasia and Africa.
Multiregional evolution holds that the human species first arose around two million years ago and subsequent human evolution has been within a single, continuous human species

Breathing pure oxygen is also harmful.
Chrome uses OS CA store. But, it has 'Removal of Trust' cluase which expects CA store to follow some guidelines. Starcom might be in covered in that guideline. So, blacklisting a CA store is possible.

I think Android 6 changed this to make users granting permissions explicitly when running app. But, it might take years for phones and apps to upgrade to android 6.
I don't understand how keeping taxes on gas prices meant that he is all marketing gimmicks? Did he promise that he'll keep gas prices low? Gas is neither cheap nor costly with the current price in India[1]. It's midway compared to most of the countries and almost the same as China. India is not a oil producing country and keeping it cheap will hurt its economy. Btw INR/USD in 2010 was way stronger than today.
Not really justifying history modification. But, if don't know, you can long click back button and press some random page in history stack to go to.
Don't know if it's still valid, but, when ruby 2 came out pry wasn't working with that. Not just that it wasn't working, it actually starts and then when I print some variable, VM crashes. I spent few hours thinking my code was wrong and finally finding out pry doesn't support the version of ruby I'm using.
Wait until 5G comes along. We'll have more competitive pricing /s
I guess that depends on "If your ISP disconnects you today, can you get internet from another ISP in a week?"
