Yea the only issue I have with led is some are really finicky with frequency changes. The ones in my kitchen will flicker when the power wall is full. I haven’t gotten around to asking Tesla to adjust the frequency though.
Even in the EU anyone savvy enough gets a filter. A cookiebar isn't mandatory - ignoring it just means you don't want their "analytics" and "targeted advertisements" cookies. That should be the default. Cookiebars are a conscious choice by the companies in question, explicitly designed to annoy you. The fact that it does should make you hate the companies, not the law protecting your rights.
Super singles are for rolling resistance.

For pneumatic tires on highway speed vehicles your ground pressure is approximately your tire pressure. Super singles use pressures in the same ballpark as the duals they replace.
> Last season in my country fruits were rotting in the fields cause nobody was there to pick them up. Did farmers increase salaries in order to get more fruit pickers? No.

Probably because raising the wages would cost them more than the loss of the harvest since the price per tonne of fruit was already decided by long term contracts and there were no financial penalties for spoilage / mis-harvests in these contracts.

Ever since food became a global commodity, the conditions in food manufacturing became a ruthless race to the bottom - with the worst offender being meatpacking. The John Oliver segment last weekend was horrifying to watch, even from an European viewpoint (where we also have a history of exploitation and animal cruelty, but nowhere even close to that).
Animators as a profession are like factory workers. Japanese animators compete with Chinese, Vietnamese and everyone else.

If something can be produced with little differentiation – bulk or standardized quality product or service, its all about cost and supply and demand. This is how competitive market economy works. Profit margins become razor thin.
Big cities have always sucked and probably sucked more before yes (just have a look at industrial revolution London), but I'm not talking about air pollution only, it's our hole lifestyles, just walk in a supermarket, what's the ratio of fresh food to junk food ? 10/90 ? maybe even smaller. Kids obesity has never been so high, adult obesity is going up everywhere, not a month goes by without food related scandals, biodiversity is tanking mostly because of humans, fruits/veggies are less and less nutritious, infertility is going up, &c.

It's like every single meaningful metrics are going down
this sounds like a far more mathematically reasonable proposal.
Hehehe, yeah I've lived in cities so I know what you're talking about. This is a very rural area so panhandling isn't really a thing. Also I've only seen the highway patrolmen taking advantage of this perk around mid-morning, after they've spent a couple of hours preying on people trying to get to work. It's not as if they patrol at night.

MooseX::Declare makes Perl OO actually pretty good. I like the traits system. Not that I'd pick it as a first starting point for new work, it's nice for using with existing legacy work.
Farmers dipping sheep in organophosphates may have many years of reduced quality life before dying at about the same age as other people.

Farm workers are traditionally poor so that might be a confounding factor.
Jobs is only living in Palo Alto "temporarily" until he can tear down the Jackling house in Woodside and build anew on that property.

It's a manual for hand-to-hand combat, as taught to British Commandos & other special forces during WWII.

Something to bear in mind: if you strike someone, he might die.

I read of a chap who hit someone in a bar fight; that someone fell over, struck his head on a counter-top and died later that night. The person who threw the punch was aiming for a career in law enforcement; that dream ended for him that night.

Of course this goes both ways, which is why you should take _any_ threat of physical violence _very_ seriously.
From an Arab-American: I found it racist and offensive.

Anyone who says "Achmed" is probably saying something racist, because "Achmed" isn’t even an Arabic name. "Ahmad" is.
Usefulness is complex: "top 50" was a hack that made sense in a small and novel app world; it makes little sense now that so many tastes are represented in the iOS user base. Pay-per-install is one way to shake more material into view and see if it sticks.

Apple makes money (and users benefit) by putting new material in front of eyeballs. They're going to be very careful about how they tweak the rankings.

I don't know, but when you see lawsuits like this it becomes clear why companies patent everything they can. It would suck to be in a position where Apple could come after you and you have no response. You have to have a patent portfolio to fight people attacking you.
I'm Middle Eastern, and I think this is hilarious. Anyone who is offended by this, can you please unplug your internet cables so the rest of us can stop being all touchy?

In Turkish there is a very fitting proverb which loosely translates to "Whoever has a scar will take offense" meaning if you say something, and someone overreacts to it, it's not your fault and probably just because they have some hidden problem or feeling of inadequacy (the "scar").

If everyone can take themselves a little less seriously, we'd all be a little less pissed. Thank you for listening. </rant>

Edit: Okay, here comes Pandora's Box again. The way I see it, what is so offensive about racist speech (or any generalization for that matter) is the presumption that all members of that group are equally <insert derogatory adjective here>. Once you realize how absurd, dumb and wrong that is, I don't see how anyone could possibly take racism seriously and be offended by it. At most, you should conclude that the person who is making the remarks is probably not intelligent, and not worth your time.

Heck, perhaps I have some sort of emotional deficiency or something, but I don't even see how people can get so angry about words. For example, I have seen people taunting each other with stuff like "your mother was amazing in bed last night", and the other person getting gradually angrier up to the point that they start physically fighting. I think it's a very curious thing about the human psyche that I can make up something absurd, blabber about it, and get another human to the point of total lack of self control. I think it's all just a dumb made up social convention that we're better off without.
Got a link to the cookbook? I'd like to check it out.
Trackmenot does this on some level, I'm using it currently to clutter up my search data. Doesn't matter much if it's just me, but if enough people use it then it's at least fighting back in some small way.

Statistics is taking a larger and larger part in many math curricula and is quite aided by the use of a graphing calculator. The AP Stats coursework and exam also assumes you will have one.

Hawaii's beaches are all open to the public. County governments and private developers are required to provide public access and parking in areas where the shoreline is dominated by residential dwellings.

> Managing access to scarce resources is the primary purpose of the system of private property.

The purpose of private property is economic. Locke's theory of private property was that because a laborer improves nature through their labor, they are thus entitled to the fruits of said labor, with the intention that they will keep up the land better than common land. In other words, they worked hard to develop their garden, so they get exclusive management of it. The result of this work on the land was intended to result in improved economic output.

But the quality of the land, or the result of the labor of its management, is a separate concern from access. We're talking about wanting the public to have access, not for it to be kept better, or to be used as an economic tool. According to (at least one) theory of private property, an individual owner could still maintain it properly while allowing public access to it. And that's probably why a UK law allows the public to roam on private property (well, that and traditional rights).
> The US approach leads to more precise and consistent application, at the expense of flexibility and achieving the original purpose of the law easier to subvert or avoid. The EU approach leads to less consistent application in corner cases, but is more flexible and harder to subvert the original purpose.

What you're overlooking is that laws are often compromises, and governments routinely invoke "the spirit of the law" to end-run around previously made compromises.[1] That's why the US approach is such a stickler for things like textualism (which is associated with conservatives, but is in reality the default interpretive style on both the left and right). "I'm only going to give you as much as I agreed on paper to give you and not an inch more."

[1] A great example of this is the Clean Water Act. There is a ton of fighting over what the phrase "waters of the united states" means. A bi-partisan coalition passed the CWA, intending it to allow the federal government to clean up the country's lakes and rivers. Lately, however, the same law has been interpreted to give the government authority to basically engage in building permitting involving "wetlands" that may be far from the sorts of lakes and rivers that Congress originally sought to address.
> The idea that income should be derived from value is incredibly naive.

On what other basis do you propose it be derived?

Non-revenue generating roles provide value by allowing the revenue-generating roles to generate revenue. This is the basic concept of specialization. You could likely even take a stab at quantifying this: time spent freeing up revenue-generating roles to generate revenue combined with some kind of supply-and-demand factor.

For example, if I'm a one-man widget shop, hiring a janitor to sweep the floors for me means I can spend that time generating more widgets instead of sweeping floors. The value provided by that janitor is proportional to the additional revenue I generated from those extra widgets, scaled by the large supply of janitors in the labor market.

The idea that income should be derived from value is only naive if you take a fixed view of "value == revenue". No doubt some middle managers have this view, but that's a sign of ignorance and incompetence, not a flaw in the underlying theory itself.
Yeah, just like Einstein and nuclear weapons.
How often do high school students actually use graphing calculators to write programs? If it's only one day a year, then they can do that by going to the computer lab. I have doubts that graphing calculators provide any educational value except in rare instances. Are those rare instances worth every student having such an expensive thing for several years?
What? Who are you replying to?

my comment:
>I 100% disagree, and believe what you're doing is the classic English Major grasping for meaning where none was implied.

>I think what we're seeing is what happens when there is no one around to say 'no' to a company. Tesla is being fed, by everyone in at least the US, that they are the future and are prophets of what is to come.

>So you take the attitude of 'I can do nothing wrong' and add a dash of Musk's inherent God-Complex, and mix it into the culture there.

>And this is what you get.

>That's my theory.

Gamers often bought 3D cards for PCs by the late nineties.
Indeed.. There was another article today about how onboard systems saved 2 fighter pilots that passed out.

I was wondering even then, why do we still put pilots in these things? They'll fare better on their own and will have less performance constraints.

I think part of it is the military adolation of the fighter pilot. Probably not the only reason though, a hacked swarm of armed drones is a frightening prospect.
I'm curious, can you point to some numbers regarding micropayments in Snapchat being a flop?
That's a false choice.

The real choice is between doing Captcha work for Google and not doing Captchas.

We have the Sony hack. Although this was like bad guys attacking unpleasant guys.
I was thinking about this after browsing through some old travel photos recently. Apparently when there is something that is memorable like a sunset, I'll take many photos of it over the span of time it is happening.

Did it change colors? 10 new photos. Brighter and more vibrant? Still more photos.

It becomes tiresome to choose which sunset photo is the best once I return, so I have begun trying to improve my photography skills so I can feel confident I've captured the moment in a shot or two.

And if I don't that is still okay because even a mediocre picture is able to conjure up the memories and feelings of the moment as I browse the photos years later.
Here is info on the subset of C++ that was mandated for use in the F-35: http://www.stroustrup.com/JSF-AV-rules.pdf
It's not clear that (2) is true. Support for the idea that "the husband should work outside and the wife should care for the household" remains surprisingly strong in Japan (people are roughly evenly split between for and against), even among younger generations. Actually, according to the latest Cabinet Office survey, support is stronger among 20-39 year olds than 40-59 year olds (see [0]), and only a few percentage points lower among women vs. men.

Similarly, a majority of respondents of the Japanese General Social Survey think that "in case the husband's income is sufficient, it is better for the wife not to work". But economic realities make such lifestyle choices difficult. For example, when asked what level of household income would be sufficient for them to consider getting married, a plurality of Japanese women cite a figure of around ¥500k net per month [1], which is around the limit of the top quartile of household incomes, and way above what unmarried men typically make on their own.

As for (3), I'm not particularly interested in debating whether "Japan is a racist country", but getting Japanese citizenship is far from being impossible. In fact, the rejection rate of formally submitted naturalization applications is about 1% (consistent over at least the past decade, see e.g. [2]).

They definitely had a huge number of interesting researchers - however the support, lack of collaboration, and decentralization of those researchers prevented them from making significant headway in the understanding of nuclear fission and related processes.
Good idea considering Spotify has a deal in place with Next Big Sound (although it also gives stats on how your social media accounts are performing).

About: Full stack web dev here with a bias towards the backend. On my own time I prefer to use python for web work and C#/Unity for game dev, but I'm a big proponent of using the right tools for the job. I'm good at turning domain knowledge into software and quickly getting up to speed on preexisting code bases. Ideally looking for a role doing something socially conscious.
(You're 100% right about the QWindow - it's nested layouts that cause it to shit a brick, and even then only on resize)
The dominant old deployment model has been and still is building a fat jar (or a folder of jars with a start script containing a comically long classpath) and declaring which minimum version of a java installation it requires. This might not have received much attention at Oracle and likely not even in later Sun days, but that's because it worked so well that it didn't need any.
I feel like there's a deliberate attempt at obfuscation going on. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence that, at the very least, Beijing isn't being honest about the initial stages of the outbreak (see: the reports around the recent WHO investigation in Wuhan). And that possibly, SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the Wuhan viroligy lab, where it was involved in gain-of-function research to make it more virulent (see: [1][2]).

There's no reason to believe it's an escaped bioweapon, and it shows no telltale marks of direct genetic tampering (though that can't be ruled out, apparently). Talking about these things, or rolling out people who do only to "debunk" them, is basically a distraction, as far as I'm concerned.

> AWS is just a bunch of APIs

This is a gross oversimplification of what AWS is. For starters, no one pays for AWS for the APIs. People do pay AWS for the on-demand infrastructure, and the global network of datacenters, which makes it trivial to setup a highly-availiable web application distributed globally. AWS allows you to put your highly-availablr global application together by click-click-clicking on dashboards, run AWS-specific infrastructure-as-code scripts, or run third-party scripts like Pulumi. In the process, APIs don't play any role in the decision process.

I also had this exact same thought, but after watching GPT-2 be a dungeon master, as long as there's causal and temporal consistency, the AI can generate some surprising and funny story lines that humans normally can not.

Stories don't really have to simulate human beings, just evoke engaging emotions in the reader. Very few fantasy novels actually teach anything meaningful.
It seems you are correct, the pipe bombs were elsewhere, my apologies. Capitol != Capital. Still, pipe bombs.
> Maybe something like Namecoin but for usernames.

I seriously think that solving decentralized identity (and trust) is the most important current goal in the field of online technology. Once it is solved, all future innovations become ten times easier to implement and adopt. That's probably an exaggeration, but it could certainly be a more foundational technology than cryptocurrency, for example.

Anyway, to get a sense of the state of the art, I recommend this paper[0] from late last year. To pick just one of the approaches discussed in it, let me mention BrightID which is documented here[1].

Hive is a decentralized, blockchain based alternative, though the layout resembles Reddit a bit more than Hive. There are a variety of front ends people use to connect to the Hive blockchain (and you can create your own, if you're so inclined).

PeakD is one of the most popular and user-friendly ways to connect, and they have a bunch of links on their front page that have a lot more information:

Averaged over a population - some people will have resistant sera and others not depending on the parts of sars-cov-2 targeted by their polyvalent antibody response. Note that this is only looking at antibodies, not T-cell responses... so the clinical consequences are harder to predict, but it's certainly a bit concerning.
I think once Facebook had banned Trump indefinitely, then everyone else fell in line. Twitter had only previously banned Trump for 2 days, then FB made the move to ban him indefinitely. FB has been the most lenient and I image now no one wants to look less favorably than Facebook.

But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit, we'd be grateful.

There is a difference though: Google isn't built on a scam. While another dot com boom isn't impossible, it's still not very likely that it will happen in the near future. So your Google cofounder with tons of Google shares can divest from them over a period of decades, building themselves a diverse portfolio. A pyramid scheme currency only has very short lived and temporary value. Thus you need to exit before the scam is detected. The faster you try to exit though, the more the effect that GP mentioned becomes relevant.

Anyways, even if she had managed to exit with a large stash of money, she'd still have to keep it out of reach from the government authorities, lawyers, etc. So even if she owned $1B momentarily, it wouldn't be of much worth to her if she (rightfully) lost it all again in 4 years plus interest. That's why criminals have such an extravagant lifestyle: they can't think long term because long term they might be in prison, killed by another criminal, etc. Same goes for rich people in authoritarian regimes: the moment they fall out of favour, their money is gone, so often they want to get it out of the country before the tides turn on them.
Wall Street earns the most, because it is the center of crony capitalism. (Not healthy captialism, but the theft side)
At what point would letting all the gilded royal bs, half-hearted HoC jousting for image, and entrenched party politics fall and starting fresh make sense? To say the UK has some 'technical debt' would be understated at best.
The mysterious thing about activists at Google is the overestimation of their importance to the company. There are many many smart programmers in the world, if these activists quit en-mass, it will do exactly $0 damage to Google's bottom line.

It's important for Google to rightfully emerge from this as a centrist, logical, evidence based company that isn't a breeding ground from mindless activism, as that Avatar has already cost it tens of billions in revenue, and is probably driving away centrist, smart programmers from being employed there
