I have an outstanding judgment for over $100k against a home builder that my lawyer told me I have about a 1% chance of ever collecting on. This isn’t even a situation where I can file a lien; the company is out of business because of their shoddy business practices and the former owners are broke.

Meanwhile I had to pay my lawyer. I would have been better off doing nothing, and in hindsight I would not pursue the case.
Not every populist is Trump-like.
So why does every NFL and MLB team have a chiropractor on staff and why does the US Olympic team also hire them specifically (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_chiropractic)? If it’s a sham, why would these athletes and their organizations take a risk, especially when money is on the line? Also from what I am reading, serious injuries from chiropractic practice is very rare, and so your claim of “injures more than it helps” seems off, or at least misleading.

It seems to me that your depiction of chiropractors isn’t the whole story. A practice may be framed as a pseudoscience but still be effective or worthwhile, perhaps?
This is why I ended up sticking with zsh after I tried fish for a period. I liked some of fish's features, so I used the two plugins fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions to get the same features in zsh.
As much as I like the concept, am I the only one to find the current design aesthetic boring and infantile? Compared the the really detailed and beautiful vector art people were making with vector editors in the '90s, I find little here genuinely beautiful, just reductive and minimalistic, lacking in any sort of character and with zero detail. SVG is capable of so much more.
Awesome, please do try it and let us know how it goes. As for the garbage, gotta have the hand on that power button so you can flip it off quickly when it starts scrolling garbage, it can really burn through paper quick!
I like this distinction that you’ve made between marketing and sales. As a technically minded person in a business development roll, I’d like to know more about it. Do you have any resources that you can suggest?
Note to my future self:

On top of the argument above, there is also the issue of "chaos" with complex systems. "Chaos" means that small perturbations to the initial state of a complex system can lead to vastly different outcomes ("the butterfly effect"; also found this here via HN the other day: http://www.complexity-explorables.org/explorables/double-tro...).

So in the case of Brexit: the outcome in the cloned universe after 5 years could be very different if the pro-Brexit vote was changed to either 49.9% or 49.99%. It could also be very similar, of course.
I use an Epson printer[0] for developing the library, but this print out was from a contributor who’s trying to add support for the CUSTOM brand of receipt printers. If you have the Adafruit, please give the lib a try and let me know! It works on raspberry pis too.

Wrong. As always, it depends. If you’re buying $50 million paintings then none of this article applies
Great intro. But more importantly, where did you learn to type at that speed??
Those are a lot of factors to face but depending on the sports niche and assuming that your product is superior/ well designed, then I might suggest focusing on getting a strong following with that niche and growing from that small position of strength.

For example, say it's biking apparel, I might reach out to bloggers/biking sites and perhaps doing guest features or creating something of value with them (giveaways?).

You should be able to help your SEO by creating content of value around your niche and getting links to it (organic SE rank is likely tanking just because people are getting what they need at those sites first and not bothering with smaller players). Same with your AdWords - you won't be able to compete with the massive marketing budgets of the bigger players so you'll have to be creative about using words further down the tail. Look for other acquisition opportunities by figuring out who your core target is and how you can get them to spend more (perhaps an email newsletter highlighting news/new products/trends in your niche?).

Just a couple of suggestions but hard to say for sure without knowing more specifics of what you're dealing with.
It's interesting what would be 80s/90s person assumption?

An amazing one. Most of driving along at 1MPH on a barren landscape is incredibly boring, but...

Because there's a couple dozen steps that are each irrevocable involved in uncovering, unfolding, deploying, and then flying this thing... and that they want to make sure everything is perfect between each one and that comms still worked before cutting umbilicals, etc, because you can't just plug it back in.
For reference, in China there are a bunch of legally mandated holidays that convert the weekend days around them into normal working days. (The conversion is not legally mandated; think of it as a response to laws that generate many more holidays than the economy supports.)
It is sad to hear Yahoo didn't take responsible steps to preserve the content of the service for future generations.

It is a historical part of the Internet that should be available for research. I think there should be a law to force companies to move public data to public domain and make it available to download.

Otherwise we just loose history of our times chunk by chunk. This is unprecedenced taking into an account it was never easier to backup and store such pieces of public data.
This isn't meant to be a standard, just something they picked for themselves. And it doesn't even need to be a company identifier. Slack tokens are prefixed with "xox<token type>-", for example.
Note that most of that video is taken by the rover itself, watching the skycrane fly off etc.

Indeed, we don't have any video from the skycrane after touchdown, because I believe that data was fed over an umbilical to the rover before being sent to the low orbit (I'd typed LEO, but I guess I mean "LMO") satellites and back to Earth.
There's a few major benefits with Utility CSS.

1. You don't have a dependency on raw CSS which is inherently nested and globally changeable. Instead you depend on tailwind.css and all your HTML describes the styling. This also means you can reliably copy chunks of HTML with tailwind classes.

2. Composition over inheritance. CSS is based around the idea of classes and selectors inheriting each other, which makes the style brittle and hard to follow and copy. Tailwind is composed of completely separate classes, which don't affect each other.

3. You actually learn CSS!! Other frameworks like bootstrap hide a lot of CSS features behind classes intended to simplify development. But this actually obscures what's going on with the CSS. Tailwind actually helps you understand how CSS works by having them easily accessible by utility classes.

class="flex flex-col"

Is the same as

style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;"

So you learn how to write better raw CSS too!
But what if I want a messaging service to specifically be disconnected with other services?

By your offer, not only that you are forcing me to connect with everyone, you take an essential part of my privacy. Your suggestion is anti-freedom by its core.
I can see the worry with vaccination, as it directly affects everyone, but does everyone necessarily have to agree on the other two issues?

Is it a real issue if someone is doing really good things for society, being an excellent person, but happens to disagree with you about evolution or climate change?

Science is getting to be its own fundamental religion for many IMHO, who prescribe 'science' as the answer to everything, and treat scientific papers as the bible (They also cherry pick the scientific papers they like, and ignore the ones they don't, just like religious folks do).

Also, the link you cite for climate change is 404, but I would expect the only real bone of contention is whether any change in the climate is caused by humans or not. Are there really people who deny the climate is changing?
Can anyone say something about this AlphaBay market? I don't think they got any spotlight like Silk Road used to get.
Why wouldn't it? There aren't 2 TCP stacks. There aren't 2 timers as described in the article. I think the burden of proof is on you.
Which comments are you talking about?
You are spot-on! At the moment, F1 has little diversity and lots of restricting regulations. Formula-E is even worse, with everyone driving the same cars. NASCAR, or Indy, is not better either.

All the revolution and innovation is in WEC (World Endurance Championship), it's the one with the Le Mans round. This year, 4 strong competitors arrive in the top class and this is the series to watch http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-picture...

As the European economy tries to stand up straight, while the American risk-taking, innovation-powered economy runs forward...

What?! "Running forward" is not a term I would use to describe the American economy at the moment. And not all of Europe is struggling to stand up straight.

This article really struck a note with me. The atmosphere here in Beijing really has changed a lot over the past few years. The relative wealth of the 2 countries is directly evident in the different attitudes of Western expats and native Chinese towards money. The expats here are becoming noticeably poorer. I see it because I am a retailer of luxury goods.

There was a time when being on an expat package in Beijing meant living the good life - you could splurge however you wanted because the cost of living was so cheap. Today, my products are really pushing the affordability of the expats here but are considered a great value by the new middle class here. Several times a week I get complaints from expats that our prices are too high. I've never heard that from a Chinese. Indeed, the opposite is true, several times a week Chinese people tell me what a good deal I'm offering.

It's actually getting a bit problematic for me. Inflation's pushing my costs up and my competitors are raising their prices as well. I've been raising prices alongside everyone else, but I'm really about to price myself out of the expat market. Expats who receive their paychecks in dollars are seeing their purchasing power diminish and I think it's having a big psychological effect on them. They're really important to me, but I would be crazy to not be trying to reduce the percentage of sales that they constitute.

This is directly impacting my spending decisions. A few years ago, it would have made sense for me to drop money to advertise in expat magazines. These days, that extra money's all going to marketing towards the Chinese.
Thats just how salary works. I've never looked at it as "You're getting paid to do N hours of work", but rather, "You're getting paid get X work done."

At my previous company, the assumption was, "You're getting paid to get X work done, and if you can finish it in 40 hours/week, then we need to keep adding to X until it takes you 60 hours/week to get it done." How is that different than "You're getting paid to do N hours of work per week", with N > 60?
The array is a pretty obvious solution (to me, anyways).

Well, I guess not everyone is an amazing genius like you.
As the power increases beyond Atom processors, I think this will be very compelling.

I'd love to be able to unplug a dongle from my desktop monitor at home, and plug it into a tablet sized device to use on the train, then plug it into my monitor when I get to work, or a hotel rooms tv screen, or the presentation screen in our office conference room, etc. etc.

More like this: an average link but great discussion! How much can the first comments determine the quality of the discussion?
Yes, to date Twilio has used Asterisk along with OpenSER. Asterisk has its place, as I was personally involved in Adhearsion (http://adhearsion.com) and now Voxeo Labs sponsors the project. The place for Asterisk today is not for providing large scale distributed telephony services. Simply the wrong tool for that, which Twilio has learned the hard way.

This is why Digium has created a new project: Asterisk Scalable Communications Framework (SCF - http://www.asterisk.org/asterisk/scf). Although Asterisk SCF is still in prototype stage and 12-18 months from a fully baked alpha. An interesting approach, but not here yet.

Folks from Twilio have confirmed they are trying to move away from Asterisk, I suspect to Freeswitch. While Freeswitch has better scale, it suffers from some of the same fundamental architectural issues Asterisk has for large distributed telephony applications.

Full disclosure, I am the VP of Innovation at Voxeo Labs, the group responsible for Tropo. Further, I was invited by Digium and attended their closed discussion and launch of the Asterisk SCF platform in Huntsville last spring.

Very cool mod, though.
> You could also the same thing about anything.

That is not accurate. Many laws -- those we probably most respect -- are grounded on actual basic factual effects. They have a justification prior to conventional or legal constructs.

For example, if you take a material object from me, you deprive me -- directly and physically. That is the core justification of normal property, and there is no such justification for IP.
BLS inflation numbers get cited all the time. That doesn't mean they actually show what [random pundit X] thinks they show. In particular, they don't support the claim that people have less purchasing power now than they did 30 years ago. They don't directly measure purchasing power; "real wages" is a misnomer, and a decrease in "real wages" doesn't necessarily correspond to "starving" the consumers as you claimed in an ancestor post.

When asked to directly measure purchasing power, why do you instead go for the "appeal to authority" regarding an indirect and clearly flawed method? Why not try to actually directly answer the question at hand: name one good or service that is less available now than it was 20-30 years ago, thereby establishing an actual decrease in purchasing power for the consumers you claim are being "starved".
Not the OP, but having used both Visual Studio and CLion, Visual Studio is far ahead. For one thing, Visual Studio includes a better front end for code completion (EDG front end) and is able to handle complicated c++ constructs much better than CLion. The debugger also has some more refinement. In addition, Visual Studio has a built in profiler that is very simple to use. I would say that CLion is more comparable to Visual Studio Code with the C++ plug-in than full Visual Studio.
Author here. I explicitly mentioned about the Operator Pattern in my post and why K8s probably makes more sense in this context :)
Since its towers we're talking about, what about an ivy/clonal plant?

And can't you just bury the dead trees?

I also don't understand what the equation is. Is it something like this:

CarbonCaptureRateToStopGlobalWarming = growTreesPlantsAndBuryDeadOnes(...params) + newTech(...params)

If so, what is the order of term 1 and the order of term 2? It seems to me that at the end of the day only 1 of these terms will matter (or maybe it's a hybrid?)
I don't see any reason to think that auto-routing must/should be deterministic. Auto-routing to me means "I don't care about some detailed aspects of the layout; just make it work with the constraints I gave."
Bad data makes it less valuable for resale. It's an attack on the market that these things operate under.

This is not a conflation. Think it through: Google Play, YouTube, Google Music... these all perform advertising.

And then look at the actual parent article that we're talking about. It's all about how YouTube Kids includes too many videos that feature advertising. I think the connection is very clear.

Once you've accepted that the link is there, then it almost becomes impossible to imagine that it would work any other way. If they didn't hide the install button for YT, then lawmakers would probably say that Google intentionally is trying to get parents to install the real app (and the advertising that comes along with it). If the product does anything right, it'll be said it's making money from children.

If it was me: yes, I'd just lie about my kids age and move on with my life. Maybe that's just my anti-nanny-ware belief system, but I don't think it's appropriate to monitor children like that. I think either you trust them to be responsible online, or you don't. In your case, you do, so my suggestion is to just let them use the fully unlocked device. If they install malware, then wipe the phone. That's just part of life.
It is my usual go to, thought a crowd-sauced job might be nice :P

Software has ironically only led to more and more vertical and horizontal integration while evangelists had been predicting the utopian opposite while ignoring the warning signs.
> There's nothing wrong with restating the facts.

There's nothing inherently wrong with anything. That said, they're being restated for a reason and unless that reason is the satisfaction of reading the post or hearing the words out of your own mouth, restating these facts doesn't make any sense.
I don't know what company you are working for or what area but in my company we have team of specialists.

You cannot just grab a sales guy and plan a release of a new product with him but you need an engineer as well. If that engineer will be WFH you will have to schedule a meeting and he has to agree to the timeline.

Grabbing someone from the desk should die and everyone should respect others work. I think WFH is helping with that because people who are agreeable have additional defense. Going to someone because you need an answer "RIGHT NOW" is most annoying thing when I have my own work. Lack of planning on your side is not automatically making it a priority on my table. Sending an email, scheduling call are perfectly fine options unless it is real fire with firefighters storming through the door, not some imagined fire like demanding customer.
Urgh, great. So Facebook presumably think this won't spread to other places, but now they folded it will.

So the news industry is going to fix the problem of falling trust and falling revenues by becoming subsidy junkies extracting wealth from tech firms. And this works because apparently politicians fear the press's ability to distort and manipulate the voter base so much that they can get whatever they want, which means that in practice both tech firms and politicians are controlled by the press, who are in turn accountable to nobody - not even anymore the market of their readers. The reputation of journalists will get much worse before it gets better (if it ever does).
An interesting page, yet the font has text-shadow enabled -- which on my monitor/desktop/browser, just makes it look blurry.

To me, it's barely legible.

It may appear different to others, for example when I looked on my phone, the effect was not as prominent. I'll pass.

Which parts of QEMU on M1 are hardware accelerated?
I think they’d say that inflation is in assets, not consumer goods, which to me rings a lot more true. It’s also true that for the average person on average wage housing has become greatly less affordable in the last 50 years but that’s because income hasn’t kept up.
Learn what? Installing Linux on a computer doesn't really teach you anything much at all about computers. It teaches you about Linux.

Slightly unrelated, but given the current sanctions, you can't renew a .ly domain name right now as a US business, correct? Bit.ly's domain name expires early next year, last time I checked.
A mixture of LtU and Kragen's mailing lists might suit you.
Netflix is not significantly killing BitTorrent directly. For one, mainstream BT users are afraid of using BT. Non-mainstream BT users are using usenet 'cause it's just so insanely fast. People's favorite trackers are being shut down left and right and then there's the people who're now streaming legally.

As much as I love Netflix, I still DL for any content it doesn't have (HBO and such), currently airing seasons, and new releases. I just can't justify $5 a movie rental or $1 an episode rental.

On a side note one thing I really need is a way to stream the playoffs. I would pay $$ to stream the playoffs in HD, not just season games.
Chrome's bookmark sync is not foolproof yet -- I've never lost a bookmark, but I get dupes all the time (usually after renaming a bookmark: the old name comes back as a duplicate).
