Re: typos.

Can we just do the "put yourself in their shoes" thing for a moment, and consider that she may be heart-broken by all of this, and typed that note through tears? Have you ever attempted to write a note (typed or hand-written), under extreme stress, pain, or frustration? I know I have. It wasn't pretty.

Please, some compassion.
According to the article, "this mismanaged machine used the less embarrassing imaging technique."
I see what you are saying, but that is not the result I have observed. Most sites that I have seen using disqus don't have a lot of comments, or they at least not a lot of valuable comments. The best commented sites I have seen have been basic wordpress sites.

I don't think that means that people like to make a new login for each site, I think it means that there is more to creating a contributing community on your blog than lowering the barrier to entry.
Also, any human artifact which shows up as a box – not a dot – on a map of this scale is pretty darn huge. We currently probably couldn’t even manufacture all the solar panels or mirrors required, even if we wanted to.

Long distance power transfer might alleviate some power storage worries, but that is a huge engineering challenge in itself. It would also increase the required area – probably considerably – and we would – again – end up with a centralized power system which absolutely depends on international cooperation, you know, kinda like oil (not to say that’s a bad thing, it just adds another point of failure).

That’s not to say solar power is forever and always not feasible. I think it’s an interesting challenge and we might expect at least some success.
I agree that many gamers are keen for StarCraft II - but I think that the OP was describing StarCraft as a "disaster" in the context of how Activision usually approaches marketing its games. There is a new Call of Duty almost every year - keeping mass interest in the series alive continually. Thus to Activision - for whom the marketing cycle is almost annual and built on continual release so to speak - the original StarCraft could definitely be considered difficult to market in the sense that there haven't been StarCraft releases in the last few years.

Despite this, I agree with both you and the OP - few games have as much "cred" as StarCraft and I think Activision Blizzard have done a poor job marketing it despite huge anticipation. It will probably still succeed though since the game itself is actually quite good.
Yes, it stops polling facebook, twitter, gmail. It was polling twitter twice b/c I installed the regular twitter app (it won't let me uninstall HTC's bundled twitter app).
OK, in that case I totally misunderstood. Apologies, and thanks for your concern.

It is indeed hard to know what to make of a lot of the suggestions I receive here, but the quality level of the comments is way above the kind of discussion you would get in most places by posting such a story ("have you tried crystals or magnets?") Already it has turned up something (Celiac) that apparently has been entirely overlooked by all of the doctors I have seen thus far. Even if that turns out to be a dead end, it's worth knowing about and investigating.
In your original post you said that your thyroid issue is being treated and in normal range. I'm not sure if the blood work you posted is the most recent, but it shows a TSH of 4.1 - which the lab considers in normal range, but some doctors would not.

"In November 2002, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists(AACE) published revised guidelines that provided a new range for normal thyroid function. Until this time, doctors had relied on a normal TSH level ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 to diagnose and treat patients with a thyroid disorder who tested outside the boundaries of that range. AACE encouraged doctors to consider treatment for patients who test outside the boundaries of a narrower margin based on a target TSH level of 0.3 to 3.04. AACE believes the new range will result in improved accuracy of diagnosis for millions of Americans who suffer from a mild thyroid disorder, but have gone untreated."

Most of your symptoms don't seem thyroid related, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is more of a down stream symptom from whatever else is going on with you.
If you can tell me where to navigate to remove it please do. I have looked :)
High school teachers know about this stuff. A drama teacher I know always knows exactly how many tickets she needs to sell to break even after licensing.
I agree the performance is totally unacceptable, and I'm actually trying to sell the Evo. I just wanted to mention that turning off background data transfer helped a lot for me and made the phone at least moderately usable while I find a buyer.

Wolfram Mathematica is what Jupyter Notebooks probably came from. Their notebooks allow you to do all sorts of command line stuff as well as neural nets, image processing, graphs, 3D image visualization, optimization, symbolic math, natural language parsing ..etc. It also has a command line shell.

Unfortunately, it is commercial, closed source, and not exactly cheap. The language is nice for a lot of things (kind of lisp like) though and although I love open source languages and tools, Mathematica is really impressive.
You're thinking of a blind study, strictly speaking a placebo is simply any pharmaceutically inert substance. You can take a placebo knowingly and in fact knowing that it's not medicine doesn't stop you from getting the benefits of the placebo effect.
It is also confounded by the element of ruin, the ability of a gambler to stay in the game based on their stake. It's reasonable to suppose that some of the lag in re-try times (particularly with regard to startups) is attributable to raising money, which will be much easier for someone who starts out wealthy to begin with, even if they're not directly investing their own funds.

My bet is the licensing stuff which can make it difficult/expensive to make proprietary apps with it. (In practice, I know the picture is a bit complicated.)

Also, personally, while QML probably is the nicest OOP/bindings style UI framework I've seen, it's still not as nice as any of the reactive ones (i.e. React, Vue, Angular2, Flutter, etc…).
For me in Firefox this hack works only by hitting F5 after entering "reader view".
Firefox does its own text rendering, so it might have no choice but to implement its own scrolling (and e.g. window resizing) though they could pay closer attention to simulating native scrolling.
> I don't trust security people to do sane things

Seriously. Security decisions that demolish UX can tank entire products.

Recent-ish example: Oracle VirtualBox. Used to love that software and I would recommend it to friends needing VMs. They added a new hardening feature that makes it unusable on my setup for whatever reason (VMs fail to start with "hardening failures"). There is no option to disable the hardening feature short of going into the source code figuring out how to disable it and building from scratch[1]. It's like geez, I don't even care about hardening - I'm not trying to analyze stuxnet or some ransomware virus here, I just want to work on my web app in between classes at school on my windows laptop.

There's a massive FAQ on the VirtualBox forums on how to debug hardening failures[2]. I spent about 5 hours working through the FAQ and troubleshooting before I just said "screw this" and bought VMWare which worked perfectly first try. I no longer recommend VirtualBox to friends - I tell them it will likely give them headaches and to use VMWare or WSL instead.

Related to this is the common confusion by recruiters that java is related to javascript. It's a clear sign they don't know what they're talking about, but I can understand that similar words cause similar associations. If we keep using imprecise terms, then it's kinda on us.
This is essentially being proposed as part of upcoming legislation in the US. I'd say it's likely to happen, and it probably won't have a big impact
Since Google have the motto "Dont be evil", doing that will undermine their own motto and Google could risk that move blows back on them one way or the other.

Food is pretty much the archetype for commodities. Not because "you eat food," but because it doesn't really matter where your apricots, rice, or baby mice[1] come from. You'll buy the one that is either freshest or least expensive, and rarely focus on the provider unless it happens to have an advantage that relates to those two criteria.

[1] What, you don't like three screams?
You may disagree, but the assertion is correct. Java was deliberately designed to restrict what programmers could do. The belief was that this would help maintainability, and particularly when trying to get large teams to cooperate.

That Java users have found ways to get around deliberate limitations does not change the fact that this was the original intent of the language design.
It really depends on the number of people they get doing this. If there are loads of accounts that are just left to rot, then it might not be worth it doing this. If there are lots of cases like the original poster, then it might be.
You still need to negotiate the swapping of disks and keys, and handle indexing somehow.

I've witnessed this first hand at place I've worked! When all you know is Java, somehow an XML-based solution starts to look really appealing. I wouldn't know. It's been such a long time since all I knew was Java. But apparently, when you want a a more flexible language but don't want to spend the effort actually learning one, coding up a brand new DSL with XML syntax seems like a great idea! Hopefully the proliferation of better languages on the JVM will end this practice gradually, but in the end it will depend on a new generation of programmers being more educated on basic principles in computer science.
The Segway is a good example of the pepsi challenge / demo vs. reality problem. Just because some product comes across favorably in demos doesn't mean that it won't get mugged by cold, harsh reality. There's a huge gulf between "oh my god that is so awesome and cool" and "here's X months of my discretionary spending budget, I want this".

The segway just isn't very practical, regardless of price. Once price is factored in it's a non-starter. It has less speed, range, safety, off-road capability, and cargo capacity as scooters costing 1/10th or less. It can't be used on roads as a scooter or bicycle can. It has roughly the same capabilities as a battery powered skateboard (an incredibly niche vehicle) at an order of magnitude higher price.

Consider that for the price of a segway someone could buy an carbon fiber bicycle (for when you want to exercise), a gas powered scooter (for when range / speed are a necessity), and a battery powered skateboard (when you don't want to contribute to traffic / pollution).

Sure, the segway is based on really amazing technology, but that's utterly irrelevant to practicality. I a motorcycle with an EFI system written in Erlang is still just a motorcycle, how it's made is beside the point.

The fact that the segway could get so far without taking any criticism seriously is a testament to the human abilities in rationalization and group-think.
I don't want to bash the guy but when he writes: To suggest anything else is patently absurd. it just rubs me the wrong way. If he really thinks it's absurd anyone would disagree with his opinion there's no point in trying to have a discussion. The story he wrote about Apple fearing the killer app was thought provoking and didn't slam the door in the face of anyone who might not agree with him. It got a lot of good discussion here.
Maybe it would be worthwhile to distinguish between customers who had actively cancelled their accounts and those who had passively stopped paying? With the former, there is the expectation that you will not retain their data. As the originator of this thread shows, when customers' credit cards expire, there is sometimes the opposite expectation.
There is sadly a much bigger problem when people can not stop widely unpopular legislation from coming to fruition.

What activities would you expect to be doing in such as scenario? For me, if I was doing it "with other peoples code" rather than "with other people", I would expect to be doing things like large scale architecture, developing tools such as domain specific languages, and investigating new technologies for possible adoption, setting the stage for the rest of the engineering team to write good code and solve hard problems. I would consider this engineering, and "working with other people's code." I would feel some secondary 'ownership' of the rest of the teams code in this scenario.

On the other hand, if I was working "with other people" as in a managers potions, the most technical things I would expect to do would be making hiring decisions, considering the skill sets and training needs of a team, and helping a team make good technical decisions, as well as other less technical manager duties. I see this as a separate management role, that doesn't really involve engineering, and working "with other people" rather than the code they produce. Importantly, I would NOT feel much ownership in their code in this scenario. I would feel ownership in their success coding, but not in the product itself.

You could, possibly, do some of each although I find the two work styles severely interfere with each other, so focusing on one at once is far more effective. If you are an amazing person you might get away with sneaking in some engineering time while being an passable manager as well. If I was in a managerial role, I would focus on that to allow myself to be more effective, and get my engineering satisfaction elsewhere.

Note that some large tech companies recognize this difference, and have explicitly create two distinct promotion tracks, one through management, and one through engineering.

I feel it is a tragedy that many companies feel that "engineering is the thing you do first, they you get promoted out of it into management to continue your career," and structure their org chart with engineers at the bottom.

I think this comes from people who enjoy and are good at management not recognizing that there are people who are not like them, and building a hierarchy that reflects their world view. If more companies realized that there are people who want to be good engineers throughout their career and could relate to them better, more amazing engineering would happen, and it would be well managed too.
An even clearer way of looking at this is to compare

1: The price of a plot of land with a house on it
2: The price of an equivalent plot with no house but the right to build a house there.
3: The price of an equivalent plot with not right to build.

In places like SF where housing is expensive 1 and 2 cost within 10% of each other. In places where housing is cheap 2 is closer to 3.
To clarify, this has more to do with controlling distribution - most artists want to retain ultimate control over when they can choose to terminate distribution.

To add a firsthand story, I am a part of an online music community, OverClocked Remix (http://ocremix.org ), that had to craft a formal content policy agreement for legal reasons to protect itself in the event a game publisher/rights owner decided to sue the site for hosting rearranged music from one of their games (the site only sells officially licensed music - the rest is free), or if an artist imposed many fickle demands such as 5+ artist handle change requests or a sudden takedown request of a track, which would affect distribution methods such as torrents. The site solicited feedback from the community, and we came to the decision to require a non-exclusive right to distribute with an identifier of our copyright (meta information in ID3v2 tags and the file name), no DRM), while the artists would maintain full rights of their track. Termination of distribution is left at the site's hands.

A few artists balked at this, and expressed strong disagreements based on the view that artists should retain full rights over distribution. They ultimately signed and most, even those who complained, ended up content with it.
Honestly, it sounds like more of a problem with the test-givers than the test-takers.

People with experience have more dignity than to perform a dog-and-pony show for some startup on a whiteboard. Remember, in this market you need them more than they need you.
I don't know what this even means and have never heard anyone in Illinois refer to "the poors" or "the rurals".
And I don’t actually think that’s a useful way of responding to them because it reinforces that feeling. But there are also debunkings. The most anti-creationist people in the world set up a website (talkorigins.org) that catalogues every creationist argument alongside point-by-point rebuttals. I’ve seen similar websites for moon landing denial. People aren’t always nice about it, but for a long time the dominant counternarrative was, “here is a point by point explanation of how everything you’re claiming is wrong” which sometimes escalated to “you are an idiot”.

Actual dangerous heretics can’t be treated that way because their beliefs are reasonable enough to withstand scrutiny, so usually they just end up getting misrepresented and silenced instead. When we adopt the same strategy with kooks, we just make the kooks look more reasonable IMO.

In fact I don’t think the example of anti-vaxxers goes far enough. The worst kooks in the world, who are almost universally terrible people, are Holocaust deniers. And yeah, I think it’s perfectly fine to rhetorically slap literal Holocaust deniers in the face and tell them they are horrible people. But it’s even better to rhetorically slap them in the face with reams of evidence proving that the Holocaust happened. And to some extent we do that. People aren’t covering up the vast amount of primary source material on the concentration camps, the SS, etc. There is no stigma on actual research on the subject. And, as awful as he may be, nobody is throwing David Irving into a gulag.
So, Jeff Bezos schlepping his couch cushion change to a charity fits the second passage quite nicely.

This seems like something Burger King can be fixed just by mandating a separate broiler in the franchise agreement, showing off the change, and then neglecting enforcement until someone complains, at which point Burger King can blame the franchisee
CGNAT (or comparable tech like DSlite) will happen anyways even when majority of traffic is IPv6. The long tail of IPv4 is long; people will be wanting some form of IPv4 connectivity long after all the major things have switched to IPv6 and ISPs are not going to go back to handing out public IPv4 addresses. The timeline just doesn't work anymore to make a clean transition. Of course how much do you care if it is CGNAT if you are not using IPv4 is another matter.
Costco's Kirkland toilet paper is now half an inch narrower than before. Food manufacturers are making packages and serving sizes, like yogurt, smaller and smaller.
There are two points I don't get with such a system.

1) The logic/functions needed in each "black box" still need to be written. How is that handled? Is that where the line of "programmer vs non-programmer" is crossed?

2) Programming is, more or less, the skill of breaking down a problem into the parts needed for its solution and providing the solution. The value of a programmer isn't the ability to type in code, so much as the ability to logically break down the problem and solve it. How would such a programming paradigm actually solve that problem?
