I wish I had this years ago. To do VNC and get around firewall/NAT issues I actually created port forwarder through Firebase. It surprisingly worked great https://github.com/rb365/fireport

I might try to make it work with Guacamole, web UI is definitely better than installing VNC client.

I loved Blaze and closest thing to it is Ractive(https://ractive.js.org/). For backend reactive stuff there are many options like horizon/firebase/rapid.io/gun/etc, but for something more complex easiness of RPC through DDP is hard to replace though.

I live in California. I am happy to share some more info.

Edit: I am fine with answers that talk about average Americans. I just want to understand the issue and hear different perspectives.

Please explain. I honestly have no idea how repeal of ACA will affect me.

FYI this patent was published recently: "Automatic overdraw reduction before rendering" https://www.google.com/patents/US20170221242?dq=facebook+use...

what about this one? It was literally just published: "Automatic overdraw reduction before rendering"

This really frustrates me. Children should not be punished for crimes of parents but they should also not benefit from them. As legal immigrant that went through tons of trouble to get my green card after 8 years I feel insulted when people praise illegal immigrants. If you want open borders then change the law, until then its illegal. To me this is similar to parents robbing a bank and giving children 100K and government is saying "oh, don't punish children for parent's crimes so go ahead and keep those 100K, it's ok". They should be deported and blame their parents for it, not the government.

I don't understand why newspapers refer to them as just "immigrants" instead of "illegal immigrants". This is very dishonest journalism.

There were a number of unfortunate cases already, example: http://us.pressfrom.com/news/us/-76402-internet-shaming-when...

We need to follow our judicial system otherwise we are no better than them.

Thanks

Those would be some tough laws to write. It seems like a lot of things that are hate related are very much feelings based and sometimes its just misunderstanding or ignorance. Separating feelings from hate would be tough and may have unintended consequences. Do you know of anyone who thought deeply about this topic?

so do you recommend banning all hate movements? As article points out "Those on the left face calls to characterize the Black Lives Matter movement as a hate group." Where do you draw the line?

We all know Nazi are bad, no one in their right mind will deny it. But the way they are currently handled through violence and censorship is not right and downright illegal. You are feeding their anger instead of squashing their ideas. We are American citizens and should respect each others right for free speech and engage in civil debate over ideas we disagree. If we resolve to silencing and violence without debate how are we better? Have you talked to any Nazi? Are you sure they know history and what Nazi stands for? etc etc etc I personally haven't met one ever but when I do I won't punch them with a fist but punch them with debate.

That's the point. That's why it's so important to be careful when you screw with free speech on your own without legal means behind it.

How about refusing to take down ISIS? They stuff they say is much worse and much more violent than anything that recently happened in US.

"Individuals have decided that there is content they disagree with but the right way to deal with this is to follow the established law enforcement procedures. There is no society on Earth that tolerates mob rule because the mob is fickle," Prince said.

great rant by Jordan Peterson on this topic that touches on work and work cultures that don't appeal to women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieVE-xFXuo

But that was part of point in the memo, he was proposing how to change tech culture to make it more appealing for women. Like one of his proposals was to introduce part-time jobs into Google among other things. He wasn't claiming to have all answers but wanted to start official conversation on this topic and figure out what is truly feasible at Google...

you might be interested to read this article where author touches on societal variation a bit: http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger...

Yep. No one is stopping them from having personal black list and refuse to work personally but they were claiming to ruin people's career inside and outside of Google and they were proud of it which is scary. Also someone was proposing public blacklist...

Google doesn't operate that way, they has strict hiring policies and procedures. Recruiter or anyone else has no way to influence hiring without doing something shady (doing selective interview like what Damore claimed they were doing).

1. this happens but I agree not very common

2. totally true and I'll go on the limb to say that part of it probably because of men biological differences which force men to be eager to reproduce at all times

3. yes, but you already addressed malicious and non-malicious annoyances so this has to be "annoyances" where men treat women as other men. If men treating women as other men is a problem then this is proof that we are not the same and need different approach. (I am open to be completely wrong about it, please educate me if you think this is wrong or I misunderstood something)

4. Agree

5. This could be related to #2 and #3

I think he was just asking official investigation to see if there are problems: 1. he made point about ideological echo chamber and wanted everyone to look to see if it's true 2. he saw potentially illegal practices, produced what you call a book report and asked this to be officially discussed to figure out if there is any merit to it

I see it as honest call for discussion but everyone is treating this as some malicious attempt to exercise sexism. We are all educated and civil people please have some dignity and apply Hanlon's razor to these kind of things: "Don't assume bad intentions over neglect and misunderstanding."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

it is probably true that women are less interested in current tech culture and this was his entire point. He literally stated how to change culture to be more welcoming to women and make them more interested in tech, for example make pair programming more common and have more part-time engineering positions... that's just small piece of possible changes and he welcomed honest discussion to figure out what is actually feasible for Google...

I honestly have same question for a lot of articles these days. Especially with any sort of "hard to read" documents like research papers and stuff like long proposals/memos. I noticed trend where journalists just want to get clicks at any cost and willing to take things out of context to do so. Also there are more and more people that want to push their agenda with identity politics and rather than judge each idea on it's own merits, they will reject anything that comes from particular person/establishment/group that they don't like. After getting burned by this a number of times in recent past, from now on I always read original source before jumping to conclusions.

I don't think you read actual proposal by FCC. They seem to suggest set 25/3 as a minimum and don't say anything about maximum. Their goal is a bit different from what you are thinking, their goal is to make sure every single person in USA has access to reasonable speed. You want 1gbit internet, but if that comes at a cost of some people in rural America to not have internet then it doesn't fit their goal. Therefore statement like "if we only had one choice of 25/3, we'd take it" can be easily taken out of context. They are clearly suggesting minimum and not maximum.

Forget Duo and Allo, they are still splitting and combining Google Hangouts! I remember when they combined SMS into Google Hangouts it was game changer for me but just recently I got notified that they are splitting out SMS functionality out of Google Hangouts...

I am thinking exactly the same thing. Maybe they are trying to get some hype from media?

I think he is referring to method NBA teams select newcomers. They take well trained young person and they have them do vertical jump. Because they are well trained, their vertical jump will not improve much because there is genetic component to it. But if you are average then of course it will improve with time as you do training, for example if you lose weight you can jump higher or if you practice and improve nerve-muscle connection that will increase your power output it will also improve your jump. But at the end of the day there is genetic limit for the most part, but just like with everything there are probably exceptions...

not sure if this is what you are looking for but I had success with this Java library http://aparapi.com/, it looks at function's JVM byte code and runs it on GPU if it can, otherwise falls back to CPU. I suspect same thing can be done in other languages.

https://github.com/Syncleus/aparapi/

"Aparapi allows developers to write native Java code capable of being executed directly on a graphics card GPU by converting Java byte code to an OpenCL kernel dynamically at runtime. Because it is backed by OpenCL Aparapi is compatible with all OpenCL compatible Graphics Cards."
