> That choice boggles the mind.

Serving ads is hard when there's porn on the site.

I don't understand what is challening about pathfinding specifically. Are there just a huge number of vertices and edges so known algorithms don't perform well? How big are the grids? Is it making the path finding look a certain way to humans that's the hard part?

> Buyers from some third country will buy soybeans from the USA

This isn't happening. US farmers are not selling as many soy beans as they used to. The year over year soy bean export decline was in the billions of dollars.

Maybe with a separate cellular antenna the device could capture all of the wifi data, communicate it to a server with more processing power and possibly break it there and communicate it back to the device.

My daughter plays roblox and I've never seen anything like this when watching her play. I've tried to educate her about this kind of stuff because I know she'll be exposed to it eventually. I'd hope she come talk to me about it if she sees it.

The chances are not close to zero, they are much higher. The trade war with China is one of the very few topics where many Democrats support the administration. If the US caves now China will have won an enormous victory and will be able to dictate any further terms of trade with the US, which is a really bad outcome. There is very little chance that the current administration will accept a loss here on a fight they started or that Trump cares about how much every day people will be hurt by the trade war.

In fact further US economic decline plays to his advantage because he can clearly blame China and blaming foreigners is something that works with his base.

Very interesting! I've always thought that it was interesting that the hash and the download would often be hosted on the same server.

I was wondering though, would a distributed ledger make sense as an alternative to a set of public logs operated by multiple organizations?

If you have strict privacy features enabled in firefox they block recaptcha and force you to do hard puzzles. It really sucks, but I'm not disabling the privacy features.

I've read that the problem is all the hoops Boeing is trying to jump through to keep the plane rated as a 737, not the airframe.

I just haven't had that experience at all. I do use Kaiser. If anything my doctor is very aggressive about considering cancer and getting those screens, way more than I'm comfortable. My experience hasn't been the same as yours.

I've never had a problem getting a test after a doctor signed me up for one, if anything I'm the one who's always been the cause of any delay.

If you're an employer in California and want to choose a provider that will not have to deal with this you might want to consider offering Kaiser to your employees. There's benefits and drawbacks, but one of the big benefits is that they're vertically integrated and the doctors, labs, pharmacies are all part of the same organization. I would think that would help avoid this specific type of situation.

The big drawback is that your employees would need to live near Kaiser facilities. In the Bay Area they are everywhere though and easy to get to. Making use of any doctor or service outside of the Kaiser network is probably not covered.

The lower forecast makes it relevant. Are they going to blow away their forecast given the response to the new lineup? They weren't able to predict demand? Or did they anticipate, and these increased sales aren't going to move the needle and their forecast was correct?

AMD had poor forcasts and a poor showing though at their last earnings release.
