In the little box you check off to select your ethnicity, Jews are in fact expected to check off white.

edit - You can write in "Jewish" but there's no "Jewish" box. This is why I turned against affirmative action (or taking account of ethnicity in any way). Jews are disproportionately rich and successful but they are "white" for the purposes of admissions. Meanwhile Asians, also disproportionately rich and successful, are "Asian". Why? Who makes these rules? Should anyone be making rules like that?

You could improve the situation by only providing ethnicity options that help the application (i.e. remove "Asian" and "white" and just stick to "black," "latino," "pacific islander," etc). This is definitely better but it's still bad in my opinion.
Seems to me that you don't need the "ready" or "epiphany" hypothesis, just stick with supporting someone's transition.

Coming off the streets without any transition support is not only being "thrown in the deep end" but also removing someone from their previous life on the streets where they'd probably somewhat adapted, and had something of a routine and community.
"if it's closed source, then it's not worth your time."

Of course. Because Gimp does all the thing Photoshop does

Blender does all that Maya does I'm sure as well.

SCADA systems for industrial control? Just download the first one that shows up on Google.

EDA systems? Sure, there's a GPL alternative. People use Mentor (as an example) because they don't know better.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. That's a huge part of the reason: Due to the nature of the auto industry, many suppliers only have a few customers; take away a third of a company's business, and there's a good chance it will fail.

The entire economy of Michigan (and many neighboring states) would have collapsed. Over here in West Michigan, we have many companies—ranging from mom-and-pop injection mold shops with 50 employees to large companies like Gentex, Delphi, etc. Those companies were already struggling back in 2008; GM going away would have meant the death of most of them.

I hate many of GM's historical business practices as much as anyone (there used to be two streetcar lines within a quarter-mile of my home, dammit), but the saving of GM was a critical component in preventing a catastrophic depression, especially for Michigan—which was already suffering before the Great Recession hit.
It most certainly did for C#.
I think history and culture play a big role in this.

Eg: in my country automatic cars are not popular and it not about the price, even in top segments cars people think that automatic cars are bad
> EasyPrivacy‎ [...] it entirely disables Google Analytics on every site

You are mistaken. Unless it changed since I ran the benchmark, EasyPrivacy doesn't always block Google Analytics.

See diff of uBlock vs. ABP, both with EasyPrivacy selected:

In uBlock, it is Peter Lowe's list, selected by default, which blocks Google Analytic with good reliability.
The same thing happens on a Nexus 6.
In this case I think the valuations are justifiable.

Imagine that all the people that sent a Whatsapp message in the last year were charged SMS rates for the messages they had sent. How much would that cost them? Well, that's a reasonable rough measure of the value they have derived from Whatsapp. It's an important service that has real immediate benefits for the people using it right now.

SpaceX is a fantsastic venture, I'm very excited by it, but right now it's providing limited economic benefit. The Space Station is an expensive waste of money. A few comms satelites is great, but there haven't been all that many of them. Now, if SpaceX does manage to recover and re-utilise it's boosters that willbe a game changer. Their value will skyrocket (appropriately) and Google will make a killing on their investment. But that hasn't happened yet.
Mmm, pretty. I had a similar project a couple years ago attempting to replicate OpenMPT's interface in the web browser: https://github.com/jdm/domtracker and http://www.joshmatthews.net/domtracker/; it played sounds in earlier versions of FF and Chromium but I haven't upgraded it to keep abreast of newer WebAudio implementations.
FWIW, and I say this as a big Docker fan, I had the exact same reaction. Docker, to me, is for immutable stuff where I don't care about the end results of that particular instance of the software. Turning containers into thinner VMs doesn't do much for me.
Try taking a photo of a plane in the sky with your phone sometime. You'll find that the angle of the lens is too wide to capture things far away.

Now, I agree with your basic premise that UFO sightings are probably mostly BS since the number of sightings has plummeted since people started carrying cellphones, but notice how people aren't reporting that they took a picture and now it too small for them to see. They just stopped altogether.
Well, people are familiar with banks, and they know how to use them. I think that's the only way to get widespread adoption at this stage. Sure, everybody on this site would prefer to see a more decentralized solution, but to get the attention of more people that's the only way. Copy the big guys.
Right.

The point I'm making is that this isn't simply that "there isn't anything in our current geo-political makeup where enough countries meet to disprove the theorem"... the theorem holds up under any theoretical design.
It's pobably highly individual, but I found that heavy red meats are bad for my sleep, but fish is good. I also found wine to be bad, but light beer is just fine.

I guess the lesson here is to play with various food compositions and schedules, and see which one works for you.
Agree, F# is my go-to language for personal projects and client libs at work when I can get away with it. You can't beat the combination of the expressive power of F# with the entire .NET/ASP.NET (Giraffe) ecosystem underneath it.

Bricklink will be hard to beat for an alternative marketplace, it's been tried a couple of times by people not happy with the way Bricklink was run but just like Ebay it's a two sided marketplace and those have very strong network effects that once a party is established make it very hard to enter that market.

Mood, Affect, setting... I think these are well defined terms. That is what's meant by headspace. However it's not legal to test this in conjunction with illegal drugs, even scientifically they can't get approval in many cases.
You can think about releasing the code with no license or with some form of the newer BSL or something.

It won't stop bad actors from stealing your code and using it but you will stop most corporate actors from touching it (and they are the ones you'd want to pay in the future anyway).
Every dollar in solar/wind/etc is wasted since it can't support the population without falling back to coal and gas. Renewable are a crapshoot relying on new storage technology that doesn't exist to make then viable. Why not focus on something we can 100% guarantee will fix the issues instead of leaving it to chance?
Exactly what I was looking for- these days you can't claim anything is "private" without backing it up technically.
No, the actual previous owners of the were running access to the beach as a business. It was a road (driveway) they built and charged fees to use, not public.

Look at amazon and how long wall st. has ignored profits.

Totally different. Amazon has revenue - they just take that revenue and pump it back in. Snapchat etc... doesn't and can't even prove they will have revenue.
There's nothing inherently wrong with using a full-featured framework like Laravel or Rails. It saves time, and backend performance is not always a dealbreaker (small projects, caching, etc).

Besides, is there a good PHP micro-framework comparable to say Flask? I've tried a couple and it was not worth my time. Flask is useful because it's well architected for its purpose, has a big helpful community, lots of extensions, extensive documentation, etc.

Like someone else said here, Flask with SQLAlchemy and a few Flask-* extensions will give any full featured framework a run for its money, not so with any PHP microframework that I know of.

Those were dark money used in crime. These havent been used in crime, yet.
I was thinking, we know the feds have seized bitcoin and auctioned (laundered) them off later on. Cash often gets seized too.

What happens if a criminal tries to burn cash and is mostly successful in doing so? Do the feds go to the BEP with a claim to get the money reprinted; or, like burned bitcoin, is it gone forever?
He just needs more than 64 G. So yes, workflow dependent.

For example, i seem to use 24 G most of the time. A 16 G M1 won't do then.

What worries me is they talk about a M2 but also about the M1 Pro/Max making their way in more systems. Does this mean the M2 will replace just the M1, be still limited to 16 G and the Mac Mini will still be crippled?

Oh yes it will. Whoever is in control of moderation controls the information.

Everybody knows there is misinformation or whatever they want to call it. That has always been there. Authorities unanimously agree that information needs to be controlled and the argument is simply over who gets the power to do it.

Of all the potential problems facing our species, running out of new people does not seem to be a concern at all.

I’m not surprised that during a worldwide pandemic, our birthrate fell in a society marked by ready access to effective contraception. I don’t think it’s reasonable to draw a straight line through that and worry about declining population, but I suspect this was written to be read about as reasonably as “A Modest Proposal” was.
Ironically, this was my exact experience trying to figure out what OutSystems [0] sold.

So, is Apple -> Stripe now ?
Yeah. With our environmental disaster unfolding, it's hard to sit there in a car burning fossil fuels for many hours per week and feel good about it. Even all-electric vehicles have a pretty significant environmental impact; they still have to be manufactured and the electricity still has to be generated elsewhere.
> “I’d bet a beer that you can square the circle, provably, with less than 20 pieces,” he said. “But I wouldn’t bet $1,000.”

This is the kind of math that I love because when the results get better they get more appealing to the less-math-savvy masses. The decomposition of a square into those pieces will quickly become a puzzle you give to children and they think it's hard but everyone has seen it before.
Cargo areas in planes are usually heated and pressurized like the cabin.

Same here - the swap partition to match the memory size did the trick. I'm on a Lenovo 480. To hibernate, I just type in "sudo systemctl hibernate" and it works, I'm happy.

Incidentally, I've just upgraded my RAM to 64GB and it's in the process of resizing the swap partition right now!

FreeBSD vs OpenBSD

Ilja van Sprundel answers your question by comparing the number of kernel vulnerabilities since 1999 of the BSDs and Linux. [1]

I don't think FreeBSD, even well hardened [2], is as secure as OpenBSD. After all, OpenBSD's main focus is security. I use OpenBSD for orchestration and monitoring, and I have an experimental setup of OpenBSD with VMM but they crash sporadically, so I'll wait a bit.

At any rate, my goal is to have two heteregenous paths (maybe OpenBSD, FreeBSD) or (Solaris, Linux). This way I could simply shutoff the vulnerable path when there's an unfixed vulnerability.

[2] https://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.html

BTW, I have the FreeBSD hardening and setup scripted, which you could add into the ISO in `/etc/installerconfig`, or downloaded from the orchestration and manually ran with `bsdintall script myinstallerconfig.sh` if you wish.

Do you know how X-Prizes work?

Hit: Did I say anything about software?

[edit: It's odd to me that this would get down voted. Is it offensive? Or are downvoters really that opposed to thinking outside of the box?

The X-Prize encourages participation from unexpected directions, precisely where innovation is often found. As the parent post demonstrates (almost as if on queue), it's quite common for skilled experts within a field to become overly focused on specific classes of solution. I was careful not to say anything about how the above goals might be achieved.]
One can also apply that backwards: if there were computers back in that time, one can be sure we would have had web-apps and APIs for dispatching slaves.

Unfortunately, we have never come up with a moral code for programmers, like the Hippocratic oath which exists for MDs. And of course, a moral code for managers would be nice to have too.
I think the problem is that IBM has transitioned itself largely into a services company computing with the likes of TCS, Wipro, Infosys and Cap Gemini, and for people like us, those companies add zero value in the tech space. Unfortunately, whatever they're doing with Z/OS and the Z13 platform, Watson, and who knows what else is so marginalized that no one really cares.
A hole in RMS' line of thinking is this - he extends only one end of the argument, the end which says Uber will massively grow. He doesn't acknowledge the fact that there will undeniably be other competitors to Uber, a bunch of them might end up being free software. If history has taught us anything, somebody somewhere always tries to copy every closed source project in the name of freedom and open source. Why does RMS think this would be any different?

Also, he mentions only bad side of oversight. Even with such oversight, there are rape cases, mugging and other crimes done by Uber drivers. Without tracking, how does he propose he will solve the problem? Maybe he should protest for no oversight when his own daughter takes a GNU/Cab. Why mock what you don't understand? Contrary to RMS standard belief, the invisible hand in the world is not stupid, people put up with what he calls "sins" because there is an offsetting value they are receiving.

Uber in current world is equivalent of someone entering the room, trying to find a light switch, not knowing what we will find. RMS' complaint is that he is vegan and the guy finding the light bulb is wearing leather shoes.

And Uber does have competitors, and they are solving points he mentioned. In India, Ola is one competitor that allows cash, and allows anonymous bookings via a call centre that does not require me even telling my name. But even Ola knows it wouldn't exist without Uber in this world.

Why shoot the guy who is trying to push the envelope?
Is your own experience not enough? It is a phenomenon that you are experiencing right now.

Not all of them all the time, of course. And some of them never. But the same could be said of pedophiles. Whatever you may think of the DSM, sociopathy is listed as a disorder. It is associated with violent crime and crimes against humanity.

Or, look at it this way: Let's say you're not a sociopath and a taking MDMA is just a pleasant experience. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to administer it prophylactically? Or in vocations, like policing, where there's a large risk of developing sociopathy. Might make your next flight less dicey.
Can someone explain how they manage to 'calibrate' the hourglass to 60seconds (or whichever time they choose)?

Well, in my case, in addition to giving my my dad's first name, my parents called me by my middle name to distinguish us (a not-unusual practice in families originating in Kentucky/Tennessee; I'm damned lucky they called me Mike instead of Jim-Mike). So for all intents and purposes, my legal middle name is my actual name. It's what I identify with me. That programmers don't get that is a continual source of irritation in my life.
But if you're gay you can still become a Catholic priest. You might have to cover up being agnostic. But you'll definitely get to work with young boys and help "educate" them.
Overwhelmed by traffic now. I don't think Apple has yet absorbed just how big it is: the iPod explosion didn't affect the dev side of the company, which subconsciously still has Mac assumptions in place.

This isn't "102: Moving from CodeWarrior to Project Builder" any more, Toto.
And it provides the same result as "don't ask; don't tell": it creates an environment where people are not free to be honest about who they are and sets up a structure that reinforces the idea that one kind of person is inherently better than another. The BSA also does this to boys at an especially formative time in their lives.

Why is scrutinizing the leaders any more acceptable than scrutinizing the boys?

The world is a heterosexual mens' club. The rest of us would like to be included.
Alex Papadimoulis of the Daily WTF has an article on this -- it's his opinion that the simple, "bone-headed" approach is the best one for constraints like this, and homegrown business rule engines are dangerous:

Well, we're not equipped with radar and they are. Also, when self-driving cars become reasonably common, there is no excuse whatsoever to allow idiots to continue driving. Things like DUI should lead to a lifetime loss of privilege to operate a manual vehicle, and the penalty for violating should be reckless endangerment, not "driving with a suspended license".
