There should be a red link in the top right corner of your facebook page that says "Export friends!" (right to the left of the "Home" link).

Once you click that, just follow the accompanying instructions and it should work - although be warned it takes a long time, especially if you're doing it for a lot of "Friends".
Google Translate wasn't engineered to translate single words, it was engineered to understand and translate entire sentences. It acts strangely when I try to translate Spanish infinitive into English, and I usually have to add "a " before them to force it to translate correctly. Use a dictionary for individual words.

I prefer the term Physical Avoidance. but yeah, I think it’s a better yet than social distancing although “social distancing” has better recognition because “social” is more “au currant” as a term.
I guess someone mentioned to them "Social Distancing" was a bit too Orwellian a term.

Yeah, no thanks. You're either born after '89 or way before '89 to have this type of thinking.
For the exact same reason why it’s legal for individuals to take 30 year mortgages. Would you prefer world where you first need to save up for decades before being able to stop renting? It’s the same with businesses: they take loans, because they allow them to make money now, and it works just fine in normal times without an actual pandemic and forced lockdown of everything.

I read it as "I dunno", I can't see it meaning "no comment" at all. It's more a shrug if anything.
This is internet and hacker culture; Google just happens to have a disproportionate amount of people who fit into those categories there.
This problem can be addressed by eating food with fewer calories by volume.

They can already do that. There already exists high-volume , low-calorie food. The target market here is clearly not the people making that choice.

I genuinely have trouble caring about people whose problems are caused by making the active choice to keep putting food in the hole in the front of their head. Unpopular view, I expect, but true. Absolutely a self-inflicted injury, and making less nutritious food to indulge these people is sickening, and frankly insulting to them. They've made their choice.

Yeah, sure, maybe it IS a medical condition, and there is something massively wrong with these people's brain chemistry that means they're physically incapable of telling when they're not hungry, and they're too stupid to realise that eating five kilos of rice every day and being horrifically overweight is a clue that they're doing something wrong, or maybe they're masively emotionally damaged and stuck in some kind of self-loathing spiral that makes them eat more and more in some kind of slow suicide, but deliberately making food less nutritious is grotesque, and indulging these people in entirely the wrong way.

I suspect that they'll simply eat twice as much of this new half-calorie rice, or just top it up with a big loaf of bread.

Looks like Turkish ice cream (I don't know who invented it, it's what I've seen people call it). The article mentions this a bit.

There is a place in Sydney in Newtown that makes a great tasting one, and I had some from a theatrical man in a stall in Singapore once so something similar can be found around the world.
> American SUVs built for Europe

Maybe you know, but the vast majority of Europe is right-hand-traffic, left-hand-drive like the US. AFAIK only the UK and Ireland are left-hand-traffic in Europe.
For development typically I have used https://www.liquibase.org/. This is a change management tool for databases so devs can share the changes via source code and automate the databases upgrade process, but it also allows the addition of data in SQL form. You can use the tool to extract the existing structure and data from certain tables, so you can fairly easily automate the population of data and test data.

I think it is a better approach to push changes from dev into test and then into production. Data might come back the other way but it is easier to deal with in a reviewable and selectable format as needing big dumps of it is specific to certain tasks and by no means most tasks. Developers will have different structures locally while they develop and once given the tools to refactor databases they do so. I think database dumps are a smell of a broken change management system every time I have seen them.
> To her, "white privilege" is an academic abstraction. She grew up in real poverty and never went to college. By contrast, "be less white" is quite easy to understand as a statement of overt racism. And, perplexingly to her, its overt racism that's evidently being given sanction at the highest levels of our society.

This is absolutely true and needs to more vocally and explicitly acknowledged. As explanatory variables go, financial means is by far the most significant determinant of a wide variety of important life outcomes.

However, it is also beyond question that there is at least some marginal disenfranchisement experienced by certain people purely on the basis of their appearance. Do I think it's as potent a handicap as being poor? Hell no. Do I think it's as potent a factor as many people who live in San Francisco would have you believe? Definitely not. But we absolutely do need to acknowledge that it's a nonzero consideration in socioeconomic stature.
My experience with AWS customer support was not so good. At the time I had very little knowledge about what I was doing so I can't recount all the details here, but the short version is I had a wildcard cert tied up with a resource that wasn't mine (something on Amazon's side was referencing it) so I could not delete the cert which prevented me from doing something with the associated domain name. AWS has no mechanism AFAIK to report a bug in their system, so I had to pay for developer support (which was expensive to me at the time). Even then, the issue was never actually resolved for me. I think I actually switched to a totally different domain name just to get around it. Here's a support thread where people are having the same issue:

https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=249559

I use GCP now. I find their tooling and UX to be about 100% better and will not use AWS in the future if I can avoid it.
Wait, you said South America and South Africa. The former certainly had cities; the latter was mostly wasteland with some amount of nomadic peoples who couldn't stay in one place because living off the land in one place was impossible without agriculture. Vastly different situation.

Either way, sounds like another case of wrongdoing that doesn't excuse anyone else's actions. What is my takeaway from this supposed to be? Murdering Palestinians with sniper rifles and lobbing bombs at them is OK because someone a hundred years ago elsewhere did something entirely unrelated that was evil? Or that colonialism is just generally OK overall and should be fine?

Where's the nuance, man?
Here in the South East US, Publix has a pretty good reputation. Generally, their store brand stuff is as good and often better than brand name. Makes me wonder if more Aldi style stores that sell predominantly store-branded products will become more popular.

I taught kindergarten for five years and I was able to identify more than 30 children’s voices whether they were speaking out making some unidentifiable utterance. Humans are really good at distinguishing very small differences in the vocal range of sounds.
Sometimes I have to wait at least a year before I can legally watch some movies that I read about on the internet, that are already available in parts of the world. With today's technology, this is utterly painful for movie fans.

I will support this because it's a very good model for movie distribution and we will learn a lot from it. I see this catching on really fast.

Here is another interesting take on distribution through torrent: http://www.thetunnelmovie.net . People get to purchase "frames" of the movie, and one lucky frame picker will receive 1% of the movie's profits.

There isn't nearly enough information in your post to make a good assessment.

What services are you running?

Are you using any Apache specific functionality?

Are you using an Apache module like mod_php, mod_python, etc, to host a webapp?

Do you need to serve more than one type of language through a single httpd server. E.g., a PHP app and a Rails app?

There is no one-size-fits-all web server. It's all dependent upon your specific needs.

Well, there's all sorts of factors involved, but I've found that the more you know about the company, the better you are at negotiating. That sounds like a no-brainer, but that's probably just as important as market value.

For example, I was contracting a company that had most of their software development teams working as contractors. About 6 months into contracting there, I learned that they had made a strategic decision to try and hire everybody instead of contracting and the reason they did that was to save on money and more importantly, retention.

So they would ask me to convert, and I would pretty much blow them off for a couple months, and they would ask me again a couple months later. So after a few times of this routine, I knew I was in a better position to start the negotiations. Also, I had waited for several other contractors to convert and got some tidbits from them.

At the end of the day, I negotiated for much more than average salary in my market.

If you're contracting, it pays to be contracting with a staffing firm that knows the decision makers in the company.
The graphics is nice but the explanation is just terrible. There is a huge gap between the first part explaining vectors and then the part explaining eigenvectors.

"If you can draw a line through (0,0), v and Av, then Av is just v multiplied by a number λ; that is, Av=λv."

That makes no sense. How do you draw a line through a point to "v and Av"? What does "v and Av" even mean in that context?
It could also be related to the possibility that Apple didn't like the notion of a large portion of their users' voice and text communications passing through an untrusted 3rd party, adding a potentially large security vulnerability that could reflect negatively on them. I'm not saying that's the reason they did it, but simply that it doesn't necessarily demonstrate influence from AT&T, though I'm sure they, along with most other dominant carrier partners around the world, were not too thrilled with the prospect.
WOh! The demo videos are awesome :-)
It's strong economy is based on a limited resource that much of the world is shifting away from.

Unlike most other gulf states, Abu Dhabi has actually been diversifying it's economy for years. According to Wikipeda, _non oil and gas GDP now constitutes 64% of the UAE’s total GDP_

its social policies remain incompatible with many of the major countries of today

Perhaps, but it's certainly more liberal than most of it's neighbors. I would have thought an international university could act as a factor to improve that as well.

the surrounding area is torn apart by a never-ending war

It's about 600km from Iraq. That's very roughly the same distance Los Angles is from the Mexican drug wars - where more people are being killed than Iraq at the moment.
Isn't technical analysis basically a kind of stripped-down version of quantitative analysis focusing on relatively easy to compute and/or eyeball trend statistics?

In my opinion, languages don't matter as much as the underlying algorithms. Learn the math, and then you can implement them in any language.

...but if you had to choose, I'd say to learn Python so you can prototype quickly, and then C++ so you can make it run fast in production. The two also have the nice benefit of working quite well together, so that you can push things into the C++ layer as you understand them better, and keep experimenting by gluing together those libraries with Python.
based on what you have said so far you should be thinking :

Definitely having spares around. We should aim to be able to bring back power to major cities (around 30-50% of the population) within a month.
That's not a lot of time then in the big picture considering it took us 100,000 to where we are now where we think handheld phones are amazing.

We still have to develop fusion, some sort of way to shield our ships from space debris, faster travel, etc.

Or maybe develop physics so advanced that we can wormhole to places.

Who the hell knows. But that's only a few million generations to create enough Einstein's to get us off this planet.

“ This individualistic struggle to survive is what culturally has led to the huge technological innovations in the west.”

I don’t think that is the consensus view. It was more to do with the university system, the scientific method, and the invention of capital markets. That and a huge influx of free resources and gold that came from the discovery of the Americas. Also of course the Middle East was annihilated by Ghengis Khan and Western Europe wasn’t. A lot of historical factors were at play.
Personally? A single fat app. Less fumbling around when I land somewhere to get their localized app, which will presumably only be available from that country’s App Store that’s inaccessible before I land there.

If I have to deal with the airport’s wifi... I don’t want to depend on downloading a 100mb binary over it.

Maybe they could have a local and global version available, but that’s already making it more complicated.
In contrast to your statement, which sounds wise but I doubt it, I find that there's way more programmers, then there are animators; and programmers are usually paid very well.

I did some 3d animation in the past, and once in awhile do some 2d animation. I've never met anyone else who does traditional 2d animation in person, in comparison with the zillions of programmers out there in the wild.
We would characterize life of practically all our ancestors from before 1900 as extreme poverty today [0].

Children and youth mortality <15 years old was at around 50%. [1]

It was norm back then to have kids with the assumption that you have to have twice as many kids as you need to help you with your work.

Child labor was norm, not exception. Ability to read was exception too.

Life expectancy at birth some hundreds years ago was around 30 to 40 years all across the world [0].

Currently, no country in the world has a lower life expectancy than the countries with the highest life expectancy in 1800 [0].

We eliminated basically all infectious diseases in the west and we are rapidly doing the same in the rest of the world.

COVID-19 during Smallpox would barely register to our ancestors (2% CFR vs. 30% CFR) [2].

Last decade extreme poverty was the lowest it ever was [3].

Around half of the world population lives today in democracy. [4]

The lawyer who helped my mom write her will was a co-worker at a department store before he went to night school and got a law degree.

He was good at that area of law, one which everyone encounters at least once in life. He did not do the work million-dollar lawyers do and he did make millions.
Agree with your points.

However, using that line of thinking people voluntarily join a company too.

Often to work for a company with union rep one HAS to join, whether one agrees or not, so it’s not entirely voluntary in a strict sense.

All this said, I do believe Amazon is treating their warehouse workers unfairly and they deserve pushback though I admit I do not favor bringing in a Union due to my past member experiences with them.
I have been in USA and has experienced first hand the convenience of buying vegetables and fruits from the likes of Walmart or Target or Costco. They provide consistency in quality and price most of the time. I don't have to worry about the content of pesticides or other harmful substances. Right now, in India, I have no way of knowing what kind of farming practices the produce I am buying was subjected to. At least in Kerala, the prices shoots up a lot every now and then as well. From that perspective, I feel this change would be good for consumers.

Also, my understanding is that the current system of small scale farming will never be profitable. In US, I have seen 1 or 2 person operating huge machines to farm large areas of land. May be its time India also move in that direction. I don't know.

As for corporate tactics, I agree with you. I see similar tactics employed by many others-Amazon, Uber etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if farmers end up in similar situations in future. We already have an example of chicken farmers in US:

The discussion about affirmative action and sexism on the HN front page (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1420553) reminded me of this amusing satire piece by Douglas Hofstadter (of Godel, Escher, Bach fame). Only tangentially related but might still be interesting.

Near the end of the article:

"Sharp Quattron’s fourth primary color is yellow, and there is nothing for it to do because yellow is already reproduced with mixtures of the red and green primaries, he said."

This 20-year display "expert" has never heard of hi-fidelity color? Inexcusable. It is accurate to say that yellow is not a primary color of light, so it is true enough that no one should refer to the yellow pixels as a "fourth" primary color. However, it is completely false to say that "there is nothing for it [the yellow pixels] to do". The yellow pixels are used to extend the gamut of the device to cover portions of the visible spectrum that the primary LEDs, in combination, cannot.

We do this all the time with Hi-Fi printers. We add RGB or Orange, Green, and Violet to the traditional CMYK primaries to expand the gamut of the device far beyond what traditional process color can accomplish.
Good for them. I thought that DabbleDB was really cool. Some of the things that they were doing with Seaside/Smalltalk were pretty out there. Eg, doing persistence by just persisting the entire Smalltalk VM image. Each customer got their own VM, which seems incredibly wasteful, but must have had tons of other benefits.
Thanks for trotting out a heartwrenching example to go with your incorrect statement. See http://www.the-spearhead.com/2010/03/08/department-of-labor-..., notably "The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers."
I actually spent a bit yesterday writing a short response piece to this. Here's an excerpt:

"The problem with "The End of Men" is that it isn't an isolated problem, putting males today and males tomorrow out of jobs. Instead, it's part of a larger pattern. That pattern is the replacement of human labor with automation."
