Both of these theories seem too simplistic. From the visualization, it didn't seem like immigration from Europe necessarily decreased in the late 20th century. It's just that the proportion from the rest of the world increased. Al

Ahaha, I knew it. My family is Shanghainese, and I was born and spent the first three years of my life there, so that makes sense.

Haha, I haven't heard that piece of doggerel before. Where's it from? It sounds like my cousin. She just recently had a kid but it's mostly my aunt who takes care of the baby. Also similar to what my early childhood was like

I think zymhan meant prototyping on an FPGA to see if you could actually see an improvement by mapping parts of your algorithm to custom hardware. This would be a sensible first step before committing to a full ASIC run. I'm sure Googl

It's mainly a question of volume. ASICs have a big economy of scale, so the cost-per-chip goes down considerably once you go over a certain number of chips. Plus, there's all the NRE costs of an ASIC design over an FPGA design. Go

I think a benefit not mentioned in the article is that it makes sure that at least one person besides the original author understands what the code does.

I think 8note means that, unless one speaks Japanese, the multi-word translations given in the article might be incorrect and we wouldn't know any better.

I'm pretty sure that's the primary question the article answers. Heavy marketing of highly sugary cereal.

Eggs won't get salmonella if they are refrigerated promptly after they are laid. Japan has higher food safety standards, so eggs produced in Japan are less likely to have salmonella than those produced in the US.

I think the issue is that most people don't have time in the mornings to cook and eat a full meal. I think in Japan, the regular workday and school day start later to accomodate a longer breakfast. I personally hate western "break

The passenger said she was sick and only made the accusation after she got off the plane. It's perfectly reasonable procedure to bring the plane back to the gate if a passenger states she feels too ill to fly.

Haha, so Andrew's thesis is on here, too. If you like this, you might also be interested in the tech report we published just recently on RocketChip, our open-source RISC-V SoC generator. https://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/P

Which corresponds with the PRC's recognition as the legitimate government of China by the UN in 1971 and the US in 1979. In Taiwan, the old Wade-Giles system is still used.

The taste of spice is pain. Capsaicin triggers your tongue's pain receptors, not its olfactory receptors.

This is an interesting piece. I can certainly believe the connection between enjoying spiciness and thrill-seeking. Eating really spicy food is a form of culinary masochism after all. I have two little pieces of information to add. On Mao&#

Not only that, the article doesn't even consider the question posed in the title.

Since Tiananmen, the party has basically bargained that people will accept economic progress as a substitute for political freedom. Now that the rapid growth of the last two decades is starting to slow down, we'll have to see how the C

Copyright for a limited term makes sense. It doesn't make sense to have copyright extend 70 years after the author's death, which is the current regime in the US.

The strict dietary laws make their diet less healthy, generally. Orthodox Jews have a very restricted diet which is heavy on starch and fat. When you can't eat fresh fruit or vegetables because of the possibility of accidentally consum

I think the issue is that physical attractiveness is one of many traits we judge potential partners by in person. But it's the primary trait used online because it's often the only piece of information we have.

That's the way they're usually named in China, too.

I think it's kind of funny how Mongolian and Jin show up prominently in the word cloud. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuan_dynasty [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_dynasty_(1115-1234)

If you're directly quoting someone, you should use the words they use. There's a vast difference between using a racial slur yourself and calling out someone who does. And why do you think white people look for excuses to use the

If you don't count the hunt for Pancho Villa, then it was twice. Once during the Mexican-American War, and then the Occupation of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution.

Oh yeah. Didn't think of that. Actually, just crossing a cache block boundary might be enough to trigger bad behavior.

To be fair, we (the US) did invade Mexico several times.

Yeah, and I doubt anyone would believe that Britain's current Muslim community has any continuity with that of the Elizabethan age.
