I would rate the probability that this actually passes as somewhat less likely than an asteroid wiping out all life on Earth in the next year. That said, it sounds like a major step in the right direction toward actually addressing the roo

It almost leads you to suspect that these policies have been an utter failure in San Francisco. A rational person might suppose that to avoid the fate of San Francisco, that Portland should try something different. Perhaps something that

That is simply false. Independent claim #1 does mention neural networks.

I believe languages with heavier runtimes would need to compile those runtimes to wasm as well, which could include a GC. Needless to say, languages like C++ and Rust will have an advantage here.

Rust would compile to WebAssembly. As would other languages. LLVM will support a target that will enable this in the future.

The claim that it's a cannabis field is at least as unsupportable as any other claims. It's a throwaway comment in the article, and frankly considering the remoteness of the location seems very unlikely.

The research is clear the the tips have very little to do with quality of service, and much more to do with who the customers are and who the servers are. More, waiters getting low tips tend to think their customers are cheap and not that

Except that it doesn't explain how somebody who makes $60k could be taxed at 30%. That's just not how taxes work. It doesn't work even if he's only talking about marginal tax rates, and that would also mean he's s

There is only one specific judge that has ordered the block both times it has occurred. Both times it has been overturned when appealed to other judges in Brazil. It's not "Brazil" that made this decision. It's one ex

The system is also tracking everywhere you go on the web. Yet another entity that wants to track everything you do. Somehow I doubt they'll pass up the opportunity to monetize that data.

The key element of fusing the spinal cord together has never been done.

Has there ever been any sort of success at a spinal fusion anything remotely like this? In any vertebrate? This is way past crazy.

We've long required the state to provide an attorney to those that cannot afford one. It may now be necessary for the state to provide scientists to those that cannot afford them as well. Sadly prosecutors too often see their job as w

There is no procedure you can run that would show that the RNG was compromised. They would still give you a stream that's indistinguishable from random noise, except it would be generated from a seed known to the attacker.

I think the idea is there's a keyword used to salt the password and you could use change the keyword if the password needs to be changed.

I'd much rather see a web standard not tied to Apple or Google but I think you're right that we're not going to get it.

The correct answer here is ... web apps. They're just better than chat bots. The only real issue is an easy way to link identity and payment information into the interactions. These chat bot guys always claim their main advantage is

Criminal background checks are actually surprisingly hard to do. There are cheap ones that will search a subset, but doing it thoroughly actually requires physically going to courthouses in the county for all prior addresses. Even then, y

This is nonsense. Remember that they're talking about public companies here, and the stock grants aren't options but typically come in the form of restricted stock units. Of course people treat RSU grants as pay. It's taxed

That's the small view of humanity again. Nobody in the US is in the bottom quartile. You also see this as a zero-sum game: a process of extracting wealth from someone and handing it to someone else. Trade increases the overall amoun

People who are against outsourcing of jobs because it hurts workers have what appears to me to be a small view of the set of humanity that matters. I don't see any particular reason why workers in the US are more entitled to good jobs
