The Big One is coming. This is just gonna be a recession, no one is going to lose their retirement or social security this time. Still, big banks like American Savings and Chase are going to be buying up lots of property ("seizing" is probably a better word for it). When The Big One comes, we will all have to forfeit our property to the Federal Reserve, and they will start the cycle all over again.

I think the cycles are getting shorter, because of computers and the internet which allows this manipulation of the economy to literally happen at the speed of light.

It is possible to maintain our current standard of living without the work of the Federal Reserve, but such would require drastically cutting military spending and other uneccesary expenses (conversation for another time). One way to cut the military budget, without actually reducing our firepower would be to merge all branches together into one command structure to facilitate interoperability between machines. For example, military contractors will sell the DoD 3 different copies of the same helicopter with slight differences which make it hard for them to interoperate; you would need 3 different mechanics/computer techs, with 3 different sets of parts and tools.
2 weeks of incubation period, that's how.

I don't know if they're good for others, but I read Real World Haskell[1] and Learn You a Haskell[2]. There's also Graham Hutton's book which people like and which is free to read this month or something[3].

That's shocking. How are they able to collect this?
It just makes up for their lack of a major search engine. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say Google knows more about you than Microsoft.
Agreed. I've found it especially valuable as a bit of a teaching tool lately. I spent three years in a mind-numbing COBOL-based job, and now I'm building a PHP application to try to showcase the fact that I am more than the sum of my career, and to try to find a decent job.

Since I'm doing this in isolation, I'm trying to use StackOverflow as a surrogate mentor. When I have a question about how to do things, mostly design issues, I can usually find an existing discussion (yes Jeff, discussion) on the topic. It sucks up an awful amount of my time, but I feel like I've grown a lot professionally because of it.
Yep, mosaic (often drastically) reduces the resolution of a portion of the image. The information that's been removed can't easily be recovered.
This is a classic case for "Be so good that they cannot ignore you".

For such a long time TC have deliberately refrained from mentioning/promoting StackOverflow.

Thank you guys (the SO team and the contributors), for providing such a valuable website for programmers.
Do you think you'll have to choose at some point between the two types?
Just checked— my credit union debit card number includes my account number.
founder.io (founder I/O)
But with that 1 million acquirers will want the team/product for X years to ensure they get something of value (the product creation ability / pitching skill of the founders).
He'd been scholastic state chess champion a couple times in a row and stuff. I think he was rated ~2000 USCF when he lost interest; I'm not sure how old he was -- probably late teens.

I don't know of any tournaments or communities with a major focus on chess 960, but that doesn't mean there aren't any out there. If you're looking to play, you can probably find matches on ICC (http://www.chessclub.com/help/Fischer-random). It's not free, unfortunately.
Someone, somewhere, is patting themselves on the back for the seemingly clever name.
That seems to be through the web interface, I've seen screenshots of people pushing more than 10MB/s.
It would be interesting to buy these and use them to live in abandoned buildings.
Wow, just played Violet and holy smokes that was fantastic. THANK YOU
The majority of women do not give up on their career. They voluntarily choose to escape the rat race that and lead a life mostly of leisure.

What qualifies you to judge "the majority of women"? Have you talked to all of them?

There is nothing in biology that prevents women from going back to work the day after delivery

You are disgusting.

Why should there be "some bias in favor of mothers"? That sounds pretty sexist.

Because men can not get children. And because there's a bit more to having a child than "delivering and then going back to work".
I upvoted you to cancel out the downvote, but I disagree.

First of all, the "professional activist" gig that you're talking about is one with a power-law distribution. Most people who speak out against bad behavior by employers end up losing for it. (I can speak to this one, personally.) Sure, there are a few people who hit big and make enough money to support themselves, but they're very rare.

From an expected-value perspective, she reduced her earning potential, even including the possibility of winning the suit. While she was asking for $16 million, as a lawyer, she probably knew that even had she won, she'd be lucky to get 1/5 of that, net of attorney fees. Meanwhile, she endangered her ability to ever return to venture capital.

Also, Sheryl Sandberg isn't really a professional activist. She's establishment. "Lean in", as I understand it, isn't about up-ending the corporate regime but adapting to it.
Sure, but you're already paying for a public service
i reckon most people learn about gumroad just seeing how other people make money on gumroad. that is what i did.
In Australia Hyundai has a 7 year manufacturer warranty - contrasting with typical 3 year.

To me/my circles, that means they know their cars are excellent and are prepared to bet real money on it.

Many of those cars are now coming up on the tail end of their manufacturer warranty, and still command insane resale price for what they are.
I mean, they stormed the seat of power of the legislature, halted the process of officially determining the next president, and caused the evacuation of a joint session of Congress, all quite literally under the banner of the loser of the election. How successful at it do they have to be to even rise to "attempt" in your mind?

The people who came in armed and with zip-tie flex cuffs, what were they attempting to do?
Basically all problems with react end up being a day of debugging. The solutions are never a stack overflow question but are often the nth comment in a github bug report. on some obscure dependency your project only indirectly relies on. Deleting node-modules folder and reloading packages is a more-than-monthly occurrence. Manually tweaking package version pins, up and down, explicitly switching sub-dependencies out for newer ones that the maintainer hasn't updated yet, and discovering totally broken and totally replaced dependencies happens constantly. CRA saves you from many of the dependency headaches as it's all pre-pinned, but you still end up fighting all the same battles eventually.

I've never had more dependency hell or build problems with any platform I've used compared to react/npm, which includes Java, .NET, Python, and PHP.
The one thing that will absolutely send you straight to jail 100% of the time is playing games with rich people's money.
Pretty sure that doesn't logically scan.

If it doesn't imply excess complexity nor effort, it's not premature to optimize it. Why write the inefficient algorithm when you remember the efficient one, and it's no more effort?

But if an optimization will imply excess complexity or effort, and you aren't sure it's needed, it's premature. Worrying about load when you have 3 users is almost assuredly premature. Not to say you shouldn't ask yourself when building "what happens if I get a bunch of users, and are there easy decisions that barely cost me any effort now, but which will allow this to scale easier later, such as writing things with minimal shared state, etc etc", but once you have optimization design/implementation choices that are going to noticeably delay launch...it's premature to select them.

Not at all. The whole point about Perl 6 is that it breaks backwards compatibility to fix the things that are wrong with Perl 5.
This might be a bit of a stretch, but if you were to send in plain text just something meta-ish like datetime and the actual message would be sent as image for example, could we get around this?

E.g. when your-favorite-three-letter-agency comes asking for decryption you just decrypt the plaintext portion for them?
Aww, don't be 'mean'...
Because that would be fair and reasonable.
I caught that too, I think he confused himself at the end there.
I suspect she was in cahoots with her Father and has probably spent a small fortune on plastic surgery making herself completely unrecognisable and changed identities. Would be no problem for someone with a cool $2.5bn laying around
Well if we can't afford to build things without killing people, we shouldn't be building things. Construction safety rules act as a check on liberal capitalism's growth obsession.
The comment he was responding to is anecdotal. They were responding anecdotally in kind.
I don't think so. A driver needs to control a device completely so you can't drive sway with nouveau and game on nvidia.
> The customer didn't say anything else and bought the item (didn't ask for a manager or anything!).

A very patient man then, I would have asked you why you thought an acronym beginning with M stood for average.
There's a reason most of these comments are saying this is impossible.

First you need some actual technical knowledge, like PhD level knowledge of some slightly innovative new space tech.
I like to think one of the big boys in space money will be asteroid mining. So present a detailed and well researched pitch to some investor about how you would go about using a company to RnD this endeavour. Hopefully, they give you a lot of money.

But you said you want little external funding, so, yeah, not going to happen.
See, this is exactly the sort of thing kids should be doing in their very first Science class. Not blindly being filled with derived facts with no explanation as to how they were derived, but rather giving them (simple) problems without any sort of solution method, and having them find possible methods on their own. (And the problems don't have to be from the natural world—they can simply be patterns, like this one is.)

After a few hundred, the test would be to look at all the ways they solved all the problems, and come up with a generalized method for problem-solving. Once they derive the scientific method, they pass—and get to learn all the things previous scientists found out using the method. I imagine it would forever change their attitude about those facts—they'd either be eager to build on them with their own experiments, or to know how they were derived and replicate/refute them :)
I wonder if there could be a distributed/open solution to this... not so easy probably. Some Bit Torrent style distributed storage comes to mind, where you have to provide x*the ammount of data you would like to store to others, with y% availability.

Like a data-storage ponzi scheme, but it might be sustainable because storage and bandwidth keep getting cheaper.
"End Tuition" = "End Tuition for students. Not you, silly. You'll be paying for yours and someone else's."

I honestly, honestly wonder how such deceitful, thieving people live with themselves.
I've known people use Vogon International (Now called Kroll Ontrack, I think), and been successful there.

Be careful about giving the drive to a load repair place, unless they've got someone who knows data recovery, then they could well destroy any chance of getting your files.

If the disk seems mechanically ok, then you can try a quick recovery yourself, in my experience the best program for this is RunTime's GetDataBack - it should be able to recover most files, assuming the disk is still working and it's just FS/Software corruption.
You countered with "So a period of cold turkey pain is some times necessary."

How does that apply to turning off your services? Doe one then seek counseling before turning them back on? Or in the case of the alcoholic, never turning them on again? Goodbye Twitter!

Maybe I made a bad analogy, my point was that information overload is more a general problem than addiction, another topic altogether. But in both cases, you still have to face your problem. Cold turnkey is only a temporary solution.

Avoiding distractions is not a physical addiction that one needs to go "cold turkey" with. If so, the user has bigger problems than information overload. Game addicts would fall into that category, not those following Twitter or any other real-time media.

I use several monitors and have dedicated my social media to only one of them and I removed the audible alerts which I never liked anyway. My work area always remains on the center monitor, whether I am reading an article, writing a proposal or the like. When I need to stop and catch up on my real-time media, it is always there to my left. I don't need to re-open any apps or log back into any services or un-hobble my network. That alone would take more time from my schedule than a little self control.

If we are talking about addicts, then this is another discussion altogether.
I should clean up my MP3 collection unless I want to end up like the Collyer Brothers.

Widening the bottleneck allows one to view, arrange and process more information. I bet you are using both monitors directly in front of you, as one large display. That's a bottleneck as well. Try putting another to your right or left and filter certain information to it. Worked wonders for me.

Controlling what your fingers do, is another matter.I am in total control of my body when using the computer.

Sounds like you might have an addiction.
My boss was giving a retrospective on one of our projects, and included a slide that was headlined, "Design expands to fill all available time." He and our product manager got into an argument over whether that was really true or not, and various tweaks to the wording that would make it true if not. The argument ended when I pointed out that the fact that we'd been arguing over it for an hour was a pretty good indication that it was correct, and that the presentation was in five minutes so he better decide one way or another soon.
The way I answer people that say this is: It's not good enough.

Yes, you can come up with all the explanation whatsoever you want to how this is a ~local maxima~ of happiness, but the fact is that we live on a much higher one with tons of disposable income and benefit from their work... so it
s not a ~global maxima~ (not even close) so we should do better.

What can I say? I'm definitely more to the left than most people in this website but any quietly upvoted defense of child labor sounds like "the slaves had it better than in _x_" or "women were spared _y_" jobs to me when it comes to defending poor social policy.

Grown-ass white men getting paid to develop digital toys justifying to themselves why the situation for 9 year old sweatshop workers is good enough. JFC.

edit: in fact, every single reply amongst the first 20 in some ways works to justify the completely bubbled-in mentality of the startup crowd. just running down the topic I see (caricaturized for effect) "social justice types don't understand how rough it is out there, this is good for her!", "ugh, this journalist is endangering the girl!", and "this really puts in perspective all those pesky cultural issues that women, gay people, and minorities keep complaining about".

what the hell is wrong with you all, seriously.
Yes. Are they psychedelics? No. Weird how that doesn't contradict my original point at all.
if you don't mind horror games, check out "the uncle who works for nintendo" from this year's ifcomp. i'd class that one very clearly as "interactive fiction" but not a "text adventure"

You don't even need something like Tails. You just need encrypted disk images, and to keep them unmounted when you're not actively using them. This is a capability that is for instance built into Mac OS X.
Ahh, okay, it seems to be fixed now. There was a fullscreen image on top of every site (you could not even see the headline!). The width looks good now, maybe it way just my high resolution monitor (UHD)?
Some of those also used a salt block for the "glue". It would dissolve over the course of a day or two, releasing a buoy or indicator.
I'm skeptical and would like to see some etcd/golang github issues referenced on this.
I wonder if technology could fix that, some sort of HUD display that signals a crash on a part of the track. Could update faster than it takes for the safety crew to get out there.
I saw a retweet the other day by a Lupus patient who couldn't get their prescription refilled. That's going to make a crappy situation much worse for a whole class of people.
I started playing MtG multiple times and hung on for 1-2 years until I needed a pause, haha.

It always felt like "an old game" to me, even when I started the first time in 1996.

I'm still a bit sad that I sold my cards from that time for 30€ at eBay.
Certainly it goes without saying the head of the Senate intelligence committee has access to classified and top secret information.

He sold nearly 100% of his net worth in stocks and his public political position is inconsistent with the sale of the stock which he has at least admitted was influenced by public news reporting. It leaves one to wonder why the public news would guide his financial decisions, when as a Senator he had a different political position. Not to mention its is established he dropped the market crash tip at a $10,000/plate campaign fundraiser dinner.
You are underestimating the massive amounts of layoffs that have been happening in the past week and a half. That's the market dying. It's not just stocks.

If valuation goes down, that usually means less revenue coming in, which means less money to pay employees, which leads to them getting fired, which leads to less spending, which leads to less revenue going in...
Swedish S tank had an autoloader, which came out a few years before the first T-72.

Your use of the word immune speaks to the degree which scientific concepts are applied out of context. Good luck grasping meditation concepts with an empirical approach, what will be the dependant variable? There is no point in labelling "what works" because it will be determined by who is using the technique and who is guiding them.
The Surgeon General told the public masks don’t work to reduce the risk of infection. The FDA is saying it’ll take 90 days to approve a new factory for PPE that healthcare workers need right now. The CDC screwed up the supply of tests for COVID while forbidding hospitals and private companies with the ability to do so to test when they were fully capable of doing so. The US administrative state has not covered itself in glory during this crisis.
Surely they know that USG would never let Intel go out of business? It's too important from defence perspective. And Samsung isn't going anywhere either.
How are people being 'denied' affordable housing? Do you mean to say that your ideal location is more than you want to spend? Did you find a place to live that was affordable and someone denied you from buying it?
After a lot of back ache and destroyed backpacks, I found a backpack from Crumpler, model Sheep Scarer. I carried it everywhere for over 10 years, hiking, working, travelling. It was very practical, comfortable, surprisingly weather and theft proof, and basically indestructible. Unbelievable bang for the buck.

The overall design was great but one of the key element is the shoulder straps that were tied at the front of the bag, not back-side. This was what made it theft-proof and extremely comfortable as it would push it towards your back, and more so with added weight, because physics.

Unfortunately I lost it (luckily it was mostly empty), and they don’t make it anymore. I’ve been unable to find a decent backpack til then.
So they decide to risk their own and their childrens lives as well as countless others just because they cannot stand their children for more than a couple of hours. Very responsible.
I am working on Google News like aggregator.
We are expecting a global economy crisis, much bigger than the last wallstreet crash. There needs to be a solution in the next 6 weeks, not 6 months.
Because by then we'll have a bankrun and global shutdown of social behavior.

Profitability needs to look into the next 6 months, not just 2 weeks. And btw, we don't do market economy here anymore. The UK tried and gave up 2 days ago. They are all in centralized crisis mode.
They won't be seen as anti-social regardless. If they were no longer rich then they would be very differently. Beyond a certain point being rich is itself antisocial die to the societal cost of wealth disparity.
Cheers. Found a recording of the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUmx-dlYS34
Keycloak is designed to be super flexible and support almost every combination of auth methods out there. A lot of companies don't need this kind of complexity though, which is where something like Dex may be more appropriate--it's quite a bit simpler.
I completely forgot about DesqView. Never used it of saw it, but yes, that was another well-known one.
