If gravity were lower we would have evolved differently, walking would have adapted too. On the other hand babies probably wouldn't be able to walk either. Being mobile, defenseless, and not having "runaway!" as the default defense mechanism (like horses) is an evolutionary dead end.
>equal numbers of terms won by each party. Therefore, in my view gerrymandering doesn't really have a negative effect on democracy
The point of democracy is not to deliver an equal number of victories to each of the parties. It is to reflect the will of the people. A 10 percent lean in one direction is a 10 percent negative effect on democracy.
More than half a dozen Boost libraries have made their way to the standard.
Boost continues to exist because there is large overlap with the standards committee and they use it as a staging ground to try out new ideas before they are standardized.
Delayed ACK seems like the better default to me, whether it is telnet or web servers, network programming is almost always request response. Delaying the ACK so that part of that response is ready seems like the correct choice. In today's network programming how often is tinygram really an issue?
In this case I would consider the bug to be git lfs. Even if Nagle's was enabled I would still consider it a bug, because of the needless syscall overhead of doing 50 byte writes.
I thought it was common sense to not believe in a thing if there is no evidence of a thing. The only way I am going to believe it was a lab leak is if credible evidence shows up. Until then it is an unknown.
Content providers pay their ISP bill or they wouldn't be on the internet. End users pay their ISP bill or they wouldn't be on the internet. ISPs unable to figure out how to run a profitable business is no one's fault but their own.
If they can't provide the service they claim to provide at the prices they charge then they probably ought to look into a price increase.
If he actually did any research how could he get it that wrong? Nothing about being built in America, just that the owner and charterer must be Americans, the actual operating crew can be whoever. The coastwise endorsement further defines American ownership with if the owner is a corporation then "must be American" means incorporated in US's legal jurisdiction and voting majority of the board is US citizens.
The dredge act (as linked to by the author) is short enough I will quote it here[1]:
§55109. Dredging
(a) In General.-Except as provided in subsection (b), a vessel may engage in dredging in the navigable waters of the United States only if-
(1) the vessel is wholly owned by citizens of the United States for purposes of engaging in the coastwise trade;
(2) the charterer, if any, is a citizen of the United States for purposes of engaging in the coastwise trade; and
(3) the vessel has been issued a certificate of documentation with a coastwise endorsement under chapter 121 of this title or is exempt from documentation but would otherwise be eligible for such a certificate and endorsement.
(b) Dredging of Gold in Alaska.-A documented vessel with a registry endorsement may engage in the dredging of gold in Alaska.
(c) Penalty.-If a vessel is operated in knowing violation of this section, the vessel and its equipment are liable to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States Government.
I work at an office that does 9 80. At first they tried the half one Friday, half the other, but switched to everyone in on the same Friday. Basically it annoyed and confused customers trying to reach people. It is just easier to say the joint is closed every other Friday than have the customer try to remember if they need to call Bill or John on Friday.
It isn't but it kind of is. It is a 95% chance that you should reject the null hypothesis. For example if we flip a coin a 5 times and get heads every time that gives you a p value .03 for rejecting the null hypothesis that the coin is fair. If I run the five coin flip experiment a 100 times and never once reproduce a significant result is it because gee science is hard, or is it because you hit one of those 3% of cases. The same goes for real science if you can't reproduce it more often than not then you might be close but you haven't figured it out yet.
What do the reviewers do? They don't try to reproduce it. So yeah make shit up, as long as it is plausible no one will notice.
For example Yoshihiro Sato was recently (2016-2017 time frame) caught fabricating results, turns out he had been doing it for 30 years. He had more than 20 papers retracted. Also note he wasn't caught by a fellow scientist in the field he was caught by a statistician bulk processing papers looking for anomalies. So yeah big penalties if you are caught, but the odds of getting caught are so low you have to be stunningly stupid to get caught.
Obviously the output will be different the input was different. The equivalent C code would have passed pointers. In that case the behavior would have been identical passed in values not swapped contents swapped. Just because Java only has object references, doesn't mean they aren't references.
