I believe their intention was to make sure that they get a piece of the mobile ads pie. There are a lot of clues indicating this and it's the reason that I'm disenchanted by Android.

I'd rather use products from someone who's in the business to make money from products: Apple, Nokia, RIM, MS (and Palm I guess).
I'll concede bad journalism on my part; my post was rushed and not accurate. The important part is the following taken from the official European Human rights on rights to a fair trial (6.3):

"Everyone charged with a criminal offence has the following
minimum rights: to be informed promptly, in a language which he understands and in detail, of the nature and cause of...".

Publicly announcing the desired arrest goes against this idea, and that suggests systemic failure inside Sweden, and subsequent bad journalism that started in sweden and is being copied else where, particularly by the nytimes. If you compare EU coverage of the leaks; death tolls, frago 242 (an order not to actively prevent torture) and civilian casualties were the lead. In the US it has been Assange's private life. That smacks of an agenda, and nytimes actually spiked a story on frago 242 and a google search for "site:nytimes.com frago 242" comes back with 4 useless results. Search "site:guardian.co.uk "frago 242" and you get 164 good results.

The initial stub was utter trash, barely above a copy-and-paste of a Swedish tabloid with the good bits removed. The nytimes pushed this article as soon as they could without possibly fact checking. The lengthened article is a little bit better, but still uses any excuse to push the rape charges and the idea that he is a wanted man. More accurately is Assange perhaps facing charges of molestation which is a better translation, and what did he do? Assange claims he had sex (there has been a claim else where this could be unprotected sex) with multiple partners who found out and retrospectively took revenge through legal proceedings. And remember the media has pushed the "rape" charges without evidence, initially just hearsay and from leaked police reports. Again that goes against the idea of a fair trial.

I believe there is deceit or incompetence somewhere, and that is not produced from cognitive dissonance. The evidence I use is how botched the process has been. If there was evidence of rape, a very serious claim, he could have been arrested in Sweden at the time. He was told he was free to leave, without even the need for an interview. Months have gone by and no attempt had been made. Now he is out of the country (Sweden) it all conspires to portray him as a guilty man on the run. That is the narrative that is being pushed; ignoring the 15,000 deaths the Pentagon lied about, the hint of a molestation is more important.
The Obama legislation that forces your parents medical insurance to cover you until you're 26 goes into effect next year. I'm planning a year off from college to work on projects that I can't realistically attempt while in school because I need to focus too much on classes. You could consider doing that too.

Ah well, author here. Feel free to ask questions as you see fit. I'll re-iterate what I had said in my other post:

Streamus has been my personal project for almost three years. I had become frustrated with managing music hosted on YouTube and decided to streamline the process.

The client is written with Backbone/Marionette and is backed by a C# server. The entire project is open-source:

- https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension/

- https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusServer

Streamus enjoys ~150K weekly users and continues to grow after recently updating the UI with a design inspired by Google's Material Design principles. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/vyd56

I have no concrete plans to monetize; Streamus is mostly serving as an invaluable learning experience. I went into this with very little knowledge of JavaScript, design, and development workflow. Pushing myself to better the product has forced me to markedly improve in all aspects.

I'd love to have feedback, critique, or possibly find other developers interested in implementing some features. :)
These metrics are totally meaningless. If some metric claims that there is a 50% chance of recession in the next 12 months, I'd expect it to be right roughly half the time it makes that confident a claim. Similarly, I'd expect a recession one third of the time that the metric says 33%.

The year leading into the Great Recession was mostly around 36%. One year before the 2001 recession it was 24%. And then we have spikes around > 40% in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2016, and 2018, none of which "paid off".

So how are we supposed to interpret these numbers? That a 40% chance of a recession has a 15% chance of actually predicting a recession?
Everything is a lie, until you're tautological. Machine learning itself seems a bit of misnomer. High dimensional curve fitting is a good description, imho.

Streams are a fascinating topic, but this is not in any way shape or form a substitute for a real database. Take a look at the docs for joins:

https://docs.confluent.io/current/ksql/docs/developer-guide/...

It’s a long list of caveats about how your queries will silently fail if you don’t guarantee all sorts of properties of the data.

Anyone considering making Kafka the center of your data infrastructure should also consider using a conventional column-store database instead. The only advantage of Kafka in this comparison is better latency (seconds vs minutes). If you can live with a minute or two of latency, the advantages of a real database are MANY.

Yup, it can be helpful being able to perform in a variety of mainstream opportunities that may arise, whether you are experimental or not.
I think many who expect a recession have been expecting one for years. They have been watching from the sidelines as the market passed them by.

That's why the fear of losing out dominates everything else right now and every mini correction gets bought - until something unexpected happens.
From the linked blog posting:

>The rule change will require merchants to gain cardholder approval at the conclusion of the trial before they start billing. To help cardholders with that decision, merchants will be required to send the cardholder – either by email or text – the transaction amount, payment date, merchant name along with explicit instructions on how to cancel a trial.

https://newsroom.mastercard.com/2019/01/16/free-trials-witho...

Note the "... instructions on how to cancel a trial". I read this as signifying auto-charging commences at end of the trial. And merchants can continue forcing customers to jump through whatever hoops they had set up already. The only new requirement from MasterCard is sending of an email shortly before the auto-charge.

Am I wrong?
There's no need to pressure them, they're happy to comply if it makes them money.
The advantage is that it's faster to prototype/write on the command line and usually ends up being less verbose (although potentially harder to read). It's easy to see what you're data is doing as you work with it and incrementally add pipes to new commands.

I like to use command line tools for for one-off tasks that I'm unlikely to repeat. If there's a task I know I'll need to repeat or is too cumbersome to do in a couple of lines, I'll reach for Python.

I used to work for a guy who cared deeply about all his employees to the point where he bought me a car when mine broke down.
Than the recession hit, times got tough, he had triplets, got a divorce and even had to lay off half his company.

He made promises to me when times were good that he couldn't keep when times were tough.

He cared about me, and yet, for a long time I thought he screwed me when he went back on a deal he made with me.

Lots of people are nice, but back them into a corner (even only in their own minds) and their survival instincts will kick in.

It is simply naive to think otherwise.

What do you mean by that? Just that some/most countries have lifted most COVID restrictions?

I was thinking the same as the top-level comment you responded to - before the pandemic I was already quite bad at making time for adventure, exercise, seeing my friends etc. I was new in the workforce and putting all my mental energy into my job. IMO the lockdowns and WFH has been great for my work life but not so much for any other facet of it.

It's going to take me a good while to get used to getting out more, being active, scheduling things to do with friends...

Maybe the author just likes to implement programming languages and sets high goals. All those who have experience with this know that it is a lot of work. Apparently, the author has been working on this for many years and has achieved a lot. I recently bought the Packt book; what is not clear to me at the moment is what are the specific innovations over the other already established languages. Thus, it would be helpful if on the main page of the language there was an essay on why the author thinks there is a need for a new language, and what the specific advantages are with respect to concrete features of the other languages.
Well you said it doesn't work, which is not true. You also claimed this about half of the features on the list, which is also not true.

I can't talk about USA but personally I move from a major Italian city toward French Alps also (witch means, not only) for climate. My original city is not much suffering so far, floods happen sometimes but not in the part of the city I was living, but hot summer simply became too long and hot for my taste while winter rainy weather with now almost no snow is less and less appealing.

I have had various reasons, not just climate, I also want to live outside the city I consider about to became sky open prisons with density problems become so big and broad that they outweigh the benefits of being near, I also want nature etc. But climate was a part of the decision.

Not so many but others I know have made or are evaluating different relocation also for climatic reasons. So well, for us in the south/central Europe for now there is no much internal migration due to climate change, but start to happen and to be discussed not in talk show and interested lobby-setups but on casual middle-class citizens topics.
If your hypothesis is correct, we have the signal:

“A total of 1,160 CEOs in the US have left their jobs in the first nine months of 2019, according to data from recruitment firm Challenger, Gray, & Christmas. That’s up 13% from the same period in 2018, and the highest turnover at this point in the year since the company first began tracking CEO departures, in 2002.”

> Competitive gaming is a particularly good example of this.

Anything competitive is emphatically not a good example of this. If you're in a competition, then by definition you're doing the exact same thing as everyone else. That's a guaranteed recipe for not accomplishing anything meaningful in life.

Competition can be great for cultivating positive character traits and developing certain skills, but at some point you need to move beyond it.

> If I had to put the recipe for genius into one sentence, that might be it: to have a disinterested obsession with something that matters.

A big missing piece of the equation is wealth, or at least financial support. That gives a budding genius the freedom to pursue their interests, the ability to fail knowing that their life or livelihood doesn't hang in the balance.

Granted, sometimes genius begets wealth, but usually a person needs at least some support early in their life/career.

And then, who knows whether the wealth they accumulate (if they play their cards right) is enough to allow them to hit repeated dead-ends in pursuit of their disinterested obsession.
That doesn't make me wrong. So somebody lies, and saying they lie is impossible ? I don't have to prove you're a liar to call you a liar, otherwise the liar always gets what they want. It's ok to call liars liars without it needing any work whatsoever. It's just a statement of fact, if you choose to believe the liar because they lied and nobody can do the work necessary to change your mind, that's on you. At least you had a chance to hear something besides the lie.

Epstein didn't kill himself. Sorry, I don't have any proof. But they did a study, and lied.
It's elementary crowd control. When there's too many people to manage, you block the largest cohesive groups from coalescing any further and ignore small pockets instead of letting the big groups into the zone you're trying to protect.

Seems like Capitol police should have covered that in their first day of training.
Maybe we should consider addressing real issues before they become violent protests. The BLM protests called out real injustices with some being more clear-cut than others. The violence at protests was often used to discredit the movement. This gave conservatives cover to brush aside any demands for change. I understand condemning violence, but if you use the other hand to enforce the issues that lead to protest it seems insincere. I think this is why the Obama admin had some success quelling BLM protests while they became worse again under Trump. I think the general dismissal, and backtracking on Obama's reforms resulted in what we got.[0] Some might even attribute those changes to manufacturing an "other" in order to solidify political support.

The protest in the capitol yesterday was based on a fantasy: Trump's refusal to accept his loss, and continued reinforcement of election conspiracies. How can you address what has already been explained, but one side refused to accept?

I'm sorry, where were you when the authoritarian shift from the "war on terror" and "war on drugs", spearheaded by the american right, balooned police budgets and was used to justify massively arming the police and giving them the right to stop and detain nearly anyone?

If you don't agree with that, I guess there's still the fact that the US left has vocally called for a major dismantling of the police and removal of many of their protections this summer. If you don't believe the scales were tipped long ago, that should definitely have done it.

There can be any number of reasons why people didn't get jobs. Not sure you can sue them for failing to hire a large group of people.
One thing that I've noticed about McDonald's is the sort of people who work there in cities versus the country. I grew up in the country and McDonald's was a place for kids to work. In the city it's a place where adults work. I suppose given the choice I'd rather hire adults but I'm not sure how an adult supports themselves in a city like Boston on what they pay.

This is a feature and not a bug. If a profession with lower wages has a real shortage then the wages should rise until demand is filled. This can either come from people domestically switching to the newly lucrative career or foreign workers coming in once the salaries are high enough.
He said the CIA saved lives and that Feinstein should listen to her experience vs political staff. That's not a defense of torture. Even assuming you're opposed to any torture in all cases, you can still criticize the torture report and defend organizations involved.

I loved that card for the $1 off at any coffee shop until they changed it. It's still ok, but now you have to make 5 purchases with the card to get 5x$1 off.
China has indeed gone through a number of phases of relative (relative being the key word) openness. Similar to the Krushchev thaw, subsequent re-tightening, and then re-loosening in the late Soviet era.

After the Mao era, things became increasingly unrestricted until the '89 crackdown. A second relative period of relatively lax censorship came in the new century. It has been tightening again since Xi came to power, but arguably still less strict and totalitarian than under Mao.

Thank you for sharing––we've gotten a handful of inquiries from parents asking if they can use the UTI test kit to identify UTI in babies/children. Anyone is able to test with Scanwell, but we can only direct those over 18 to treatment via telehealth. Nonetheless, we see Scanwell being a useful tool for parents in similar situations to yours––simply knowing, before heading to the emergency room, can bring peace of mind to new parents and parents of younger children.
I'd say it is no different than me looking at a lot of manga illustrations and then coming up with my own. There's no doubt that I was heavily inspired by what media I consumed, and learnt from it. Does that mean I don't own rights to what I make?

Fascinating, I remember 2-3 years back people were saying exactly the same thing, but replacing Node.js with Rails and Ruby with Python. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
There are already various attempts at this. That they have not caught on may be instructive (if not particularly constructive to point out :-( ).
There are already such schemes in place. They sell a booklet called something like "How to make a lot of money" for $500 and then if you get enough stupid people to buy the book, you're in the money. If everyone below you thinks the same, you make more money. The people at the top end up realizing "the dream".

RVM is hardly a 'random hodgepodge of flavor-of-the-week deploy scripts'. RVM is widely used throughout the Ruby community and for good reason.

I'm really not interested in getting into some back-and-forth flamewar about this. (There's been plenty enough of that on the Debian mailing lists and elsewhere already.) I trust that the people maintaining Debian are very smart and do, in general, know what they're doing. But I don't trust that the people maintaining Debian know how to deploy Ruby/Rails better than the people in the Ruby/Rails community.
Because we spend so much time at work and because a bad workplace is such a miserable experience, I think candidates should pay close attention to negative signals, even if they could turn out to be anomalous. Of course, when things go wrong it's certainly important to pay close attention to how that is handled. Basically everything that happens during the interview and recruitment process should be treated as signal even though some of it will be noise.

For employers evaluating a candidate, "if it's not yes it's no" - I would suggest job seekers to have the same attitude. (Unless your current job already sucks.)

Some of the guys who work on .NET in particular are the best in the world at what they do; but it's so highly specialized that there are very few other places they could work where they would simultaneously have their code used so much in practice, and where they would be able to focus as narrowly.

And the Linux world in particular could do with someone like Raymond Chen (IMO).
