"Through the ingenious use of a steam engine, it produces more than enough energy to burn the next batch of waste. In other words, it powers itself, with electricity to spare."

Score. We should have the park service install these systems near campgrounds to provide revenue neutral services to the campers. I have this idea of electric "trucks" driving to the camp grounds, swapping out the current waste bucket at the toilets for a fresh one, then driving back to process it and recharge.

Exercise also helps clear lymph from most of the body which seems to help the brain clear it while sleeping, at least anecdotally. See also this comment:

My understanding is that WhatsApp is also super popular in Europe.
In most cases there are multiple employers for any job who pay similar wages so one can go work for some other employer if one fires them.

But in the Twitch, YouTube, Amazon, etc. cases there is no other platform that pays the same.
"And don't tell me it's because there are no alternatives."
Then I don't know what to tell you. Why do you dismiss this as a reason?
Not so much susceptible as "came with their own radioactive source"
If time is the true currency, then the whole `bower install whatever` approach is basically potential crushing credit card debt.
Yes, but how many of these are rallies (with people speaking)? Even though the south end of the square is usually free, including on market days, Parks will tell you that they do not issue permits when the farmers are in the other parts of the square. Ask them why they issued one to, say, March Against Monsanto, and they'll say that event was "grandfathered in" (ie, has been happening for several years). (And ask MAM and they'll tell you it was a huge hassle for them as well.)

Meanwhile, on the north end of the square the city is privatizing park space: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/restaurant-union-...
He probably drilled them while filled with rage. Which is probably what I would have done. I was surprised the holes were so small. I would have just went over kill.
Use non-clustered, right? clustered is just for massive operations with distributed databases and junk, right?

And here I was expecting some sort of NFA simulation by a DFA :)
If you want a deal on a really good development phone, I'm looking to sell my Nexus One. It's an excellent device, and is fully unlocked and can easily be flashed with custom firmware or stock android from a nice GUI app at the drop of a hat. I absolutely love the phone, but I just want the next greatest, unlocked phone.

I still have all the original boxes, cables, books, etc, and I also have the official car dock that puts the phone in car mode, has a loud speakerphone, etc. It's engraved on the back with my username, but it's otherwise in excellent condition, no scratches, screen protector, etc.

If you're interested, contact info is in my profile.
I haven't put it up yet, but I will. It'll have to wait until this afternoon, I have a client meeting here in a few and its not finished.

Self-deprecation doesn't mean I'm soft. I am just willing to admit I can sometimes have a "doh" moment. Asking people to contact you and not making your contact info available is pretty dumb, lol. I often find my dialog online is viewed as bullish or flame because I'm seen as an "Alpha." I try to throw in the self-deprecation to help show although I take myself seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously. Thanks for the comment.
Sure. But you want peoples opinions on where to live, where to work, where to meet, how to join a startup. These aren't factual topics - you want the healthy debate?
You really have no idea what you are talking about.
Fellow maximiser here. It’s probably the reason why I still love OSX after all the shitty updates.

The full-screen mode is a marvel of ergonomics once you get it. Just maximize your apps and switch between them with the trackpad like they are virtual desktops (because they, in fact, are).

It’s an awesome mode for a single screen workflow.

Tilings WM are cool but you are rapidly limited with be screen (and even with two).
His ego prevents that. He relishes in the number of followers/likes/retweets and would have far fewer of these on a website of his own site, so he sticks with Twitter.
The rest of the world doesn't care about security?
Wait, so your response to the concern that Google has too much power is just invest a couple hundred million to create a competitor, otherwise you’re just lazy.

I’m not sure that’s a strategy open to many people. Using laws created by democratic processes to reduce power of a Single corp seems more viable.
Through stupidity and malice.
No.

Because the same argument could be made about literally any authority. Whether it's an autocratic rule, a modern democratic state, a feudal lord or a mob boss.

What makes all the difference is how "good" gets defined. You, I and the next person will likely have differing opinions on that. And I'm pretty sure that the medieval precariat and nobility will have an entirely different perspective on that as well.

Medieval times weren't lawless times either. The legal framework at the time was based on customary laws which eventually evolved and coalesced into the formal legal systems we know today. Common Law as it first originated in England is rooted in such customary laws.

As far as "terror" is concerned: the notion of "human rights" is quite modern and only started to become widespread during the late 18th century. Torture, corporal and capital punishment were par for the course in severe criminal cases.

These weren't times where one enjoyed the same freedoms as one does today either. But that doesn't mean people were constantly and randomly subjected to horrible fates at the slightest perceived transgression either.

Moreover, rather inhumane methods of asserting and delivering justice rooted in Frankish, Germanic, Saxon or Nordic traditions were rooted out rather early. Trial by ordeal was abolished by the Church in the early 13th century, for instance.

As I said, we're discussing over 1.000 years of history. And depending on the time and location, you'd be more or less at risk of finding yourself at the tentative mercy of authority such as it ruled.
Hmm. Don't like your planet? Terraform a new planet.

Don't like End of Universe? Create your own big bang.

What do you mean it's impossible? Stop this learned helplessness.
Oh, and look - it just so happens to be on the only farm you could get permission to dig on!

This is somewhat tautological - of course archaeologists make discoveries on the sites they are digging on. It's very hard to make discoveries at sites that you aren't allowed on!
I wish such matters were decided in a Court of Law with evidence. And not by private arbiters. Twitter banned Trump simply because they could so without any repercussions. All that "Glorification of Violence" is sheer hogwash. Risk of further incitement of violence is even more hogwash. Most of the democratic party leadership should be banned from Twitter in such a case.
Admitting the mistake, not admitting the mistake publicly.
That's true, but... well, devil's-advocate time: "So what?"

I mean, if the Foo profession has huge salaries and crowds the Bar profession from getting any foreign workers... Did the nation really need to import those Bar workers that badly in the first place?

Carving out reservations for particular professions/industries is really just a big cake for lobbyists to fight over.

I think the far bigger issue isn't the professions, but the skewing effects of cost-of-living or non-salary compensation, or professions which our economy already doesn't value "appropriately" for some other reason.
You could, for example, grant entry to programmers whose sponsors would be willing to pay very high salaries for them. Sure, you end up with false negatives (there are some great programmers who for some reason wouldn't be able to command those salaries), but hopefully it's not high enough to matter.

Eg: 5% of great developers are in the US and 95% are outside. Assuming we have a false negative rate of 50% (a great programmer has a 50% chance of not being recognized as one), the policy would potentially let 47.5% of great developers in, which would potentially increase the number of great developers in the US by about 10x. The actual increase will be lower because not all of them will want to work in the US.
I took a 1 minute video showing my local KFC in comparison to the next door McDonalds. Sorry about the video quality.

I came back later that night and there was a sign outside indicating that I needed to have a phone order (maybe) to get in the queue.

KFC has made fried chicken popular on Christmas in Japan, but now you can get fried chicken everywhere, including the seven-eleven and Family Mart stores that have Christmas packages.

Someone mentioned alcohol at fast food chains. It's only at special unique fast food restaurants. Drinking in Japan is strange, for example if I live a club with a class of alcohol in my hand, the door person will pour it into a plastic cup for me to drink out on the streets.
That session was marked as no stream in the schedule.
It would be good to have more information on what these taste like, what the mouthfeel is, and, possibly most importantly (since it's a prereq in my mind to ever buying any at all), how long they last in the pantry or refrigerator.

That said, the idea already appeals to me much more than Soylent, not particularly because of the whole foods part but because the image and info given suggest that a MealSquare will have some chew, crunch, and contrasting textures to it.
I don't get why people are so afraid of kubernetes, the thing is pretty much hands off.
So basically the consumer tech hasn't yet caught up with the technology, is what you're saying?

Once there are enough people buying and selling for cash, you'll just need to find an old payphone, or some other known meeting place, if popular technical means are legislated away.
I find it odd that TLD’s can be bought and sold in such a manner. I understand those like .edu, .gov, .com, and country denoted TLD’s because they seem to denote a purpose behind the ownership and I was under the assumption that ICANN simply maintained them as a non-profit. It looks to be more like a money fueled rat race to swoop up as many names as possible for the purpose of land lording over them. Perhaps it’s a limited and cynical take, but is there more to the picture?

I’ve heard of decentralized protocols like Handshake attempt to decentralize the entire sector of TLD’s but they just seem be riddled with early profit seekers buying up all the names, so it seems unlikely the large browsers will incorporate them. Can anyone speak on the TLD space and it’s future? What was the incentive of ICANN starting the gTLD’s and what are the assumptions behind browsers accepting TLD’s?
Possibly, long after the fact when the historical material is in the National Archives. But I'm within NASA now, and I have optimistically already registered artemisinrealtime.org. I'll be making something.
China was different. Kublia Khan actually preserved a lot of the Chinese institutions but put himself on top. There was not the wholesale destruction of books and scholars. This would have been like Hulagu going to Baghdad, converting to Islam and making himself Caliph and reigning from Baghdad. That is not what happened to Baghdad.
They just don't understand that Asian families work their kid harder? It's a different world. When I was a kid, there were only 3 acceptable outcomes: becoming a lawyer, a doctor, or a professor. Then I discovered coding - sorry mom :)

So I went to a bottom of the barrel districts for school, but still aced it. I got admitted in a great US school, and a semester later I had proved my worth enough to get a full scholarship. What if you had put me in a better system? I would have only excelled more!

The problem is not the school environment, but the families. From what I have seen, only military-style schools, with the students living in, can provide better chances for disadvantaged students. The best school environment will do nothing against a toxic family and toxic friends that use racist monikers to attack those that have a chance to succeed ("crab mentality").

And BTW the comment below "I miss the days when the schools in the wealthier part of town had things like advanced classes and air conditioning, and the rest of us just sucked it up and didn't whine" makes no sense. I went to school in a tropical country, with no AC. Yes I did sweat a lot in class and I took 2 showers per day minimum, but I didn't die.

Since the lack of amenities like AC or computers will do nothing to prevent people that are pushed up by their family, I think they will likewise do nothing to help people succeed when they are held back by their social group. Amenities are just a highly visible distraction, correlated, but not causal.
Isn't that what Matrix is supposed to be?
There are many good arguments for selectively taxing consumption (or rents, as in Georgism). What these miss is that the economy will route around them. Any large, diversified economy like that of the United States must tax all money flows to one degree or another. The complexity of the tax code around the few exceptions (e.g. retirement accounts) is a clue to that.

Small economies that don't issue reserve currencies can experiement more. They can even drop major forms of taxation and fund themselves on the resulting financial tourism. Like States that run on gambling revenues, this only works when they are in the minority.

This isn't to say that meaningful tax reforms are impossible. But they have to address this dynamic.
>It's ridiculous that people continue to bring that up due to lack of real material.

That's an indicator that there are no real material. Or the source of his mistreatment of women being the "And hot girls" sticker on his office, that some intern placed to make a joke.

Look the people that denounce him. All corporate lobbyists. This looks to me like a political move to eliminate an uncomfortable stone in the road to total control of software.
A well written piece by Perens, but his focus on Stallman's disability leaves the reader to reach the point on their own, which may be difficult for some (perhaps those with similar issues to Stallman).

The point is that people (and corporations) should be more tolerant of the views of others. They are not required to agree, but they should not automatically push the "cancel" button. I don't agree with everything that Stallman believes (for example, GPL3), but I have no desire to shun him.

I will likely be modded down for expressing my next opinion: The same thing applies to those who support(ed) President Donald Trump. There was once a day when most US citizens would respect the office of President even when they did not hold the same views as the occupant. Why is there so much hate for those (47%?) who supported, or still support him and his political philosophies?
> In doing this, I believe that the FSF board felt that punishment should have an end, especially in the case of the first punishment, and should include an opportunity for the punished to demonstrate that he has reformed his behavior.

That's an entirely reasonable theory. Would the FSF care to confirm it?

How come the FSF hasn't said anything about why Stallman is back on the board - not even an announcement? Why are they just making oblique references as if they're embarrassed by it?

If the entirety of the FSF's statements are a tweet saying that LibrePlanet speakers didn't know about Stallman's "announcement," a statement about "governance," and several resignations, how are they giving an opportunity for Stallman to demonstrate that he has reformed his behavior? Why not put out a simple statement saying that Stallman is back on the board for such-and-such reasons?

Frankly, if you looked only at the FSF's website and not at the rest of the internet, you'd be extremely confused what's going on and why there's a need for "work to improve governance at the FSF."

It'd be great if this were a "learning opportunity" for Stallman, if it admitted the "possibility of reform". The FSF has taken zero steps to make it happen, and they are destabilizing the free software movement all the while.
I’m more inclined to attribute those “very negative outcomes” to the life choices of the criminals, which all too often come at the cost of innocent lives and livelihoods.
I have always struggled to explain what having ADHD is like to others. I finally settled on “imagine going through life with this constant sound in the back of your head like a fuzzy AM radio station that you can never tune in and also can never just ignore killing any ability to focus. Taking the drug to treat it (time released methylphenidate in my case) allows me to tune that station in like it was a perfect CD with an amazing amp, or just shut it off all together like having the serenity of a quite room on top of a mountain.” Still not sure this example works, but it has improved my friends understanding. Those that know me very well are able to interact with me to the point of saying “you did not take you pill today” when I skip a dose as they can see the behavioral differences.

Another way to explain the effect on take a pill of what is chemically speed on someone with ADHD vs not is “if you take this pill and DO NOT have ADHD you will be up at 3am trying to sand your driveway smooth, but for me it provides calm and clarity”.
As I understand it, it is non judicial because there is no judiciary system involved.

This doesn't imply it's not an irrational action, i.e. you may justifiably avoid a person/thing that is linked with immoral behavior even if there is no sentence (say, avoid bitcoin because of climate issues).
It seems like the creators are heading towards a libel lawsuit if they keep that up on their site.
It might get cancelled in 18 months. Even Google should know not to depend on Google for any business critical tasks.
That is a straw man. Stallman has been quite effective in most areas, certainly more than the interim presidents who quickly got very corporate with all the familiar BS language.

We don't need another infiltrated Linux Foundation.
Is the data available? I saw the note at the end of the post, but there doesn't seem to be a link associated with it.
Having a useful notification light is one of the few things I miss about my old BB. I would like to know, at a glance, that my Incredible is both charging and has a new message.
Yes, and a job where you're hiring mass quantities of commodity labor, having a threshold is great. However, when recruiting for quite a specialized position, having a low and arbitrary 'threshold' seems counter productive.
As a self-titled pizza connoisseur you really can't compare different types of pizzas with one another. i think this article showed us a pretty good taste test. i've tried both zachary's and little star in the area (though i live in la). i'll have to give patxi's a try. i've also been to chicago and tried lou's, uno's and gino's. Lou's is my favorite.

I love all pizza though, the italian styles from naples to sicilian to the U.S. branches from wood fired california style to thin crust new york to chicago deep dish. they all have a fair place in my book and i have a favorite for each category but to compare one against another is a little awkward.

awesome read!
Far too many physical metaphors, I thought we got over that in the early 90's with MS-Bob.

Designers, please, if you are thinking of using wood paneling or shelves in your design, stop, move on to the next idea.
No real downside other than the fact that apps don't move entirely to SD. All shared libraries must stay in the main storage as well as application parts tagged 'secure' from my understanding. I have my N1 rooted and use App2SD but still sit at about 32Meg free with everything possible moved. At 19 Meg (10%) the phone goes into 'low memory' warning so unless I keep caches cleared I'm always not too far away from being out of space. Gigabytes of internal storage would be a dream apps wise, and will probably be the tipping factor in when I let my N1 go even if I have to loose other things.
As good as San Francisco's baking culture is, surely there's NY-style (real! :)) pizza to be had?

There isn't. Also, you won't find a good bagel anywhere in the bay area. I spent most of last summer looking.
My God, hehe. You came up with that really quick.
Would really like to have one and I spend quite a lot of time playing with sublime text plugins :) andy [at] fine.io
I agree with your premise that too many demos are done over the wire. Using a virtual domain on a virtual server IMO shows respect for your audience. Even if connectivity is strong at the beginning of a demo, one rogue audience member on bittorrent can make the presenter look foolish. API and cross domain calls will still draw bandwidth, but at least the parts you can control will be fast.
The look grows on me the more I look at the model. I’m used to thinking trucks are fugly, though. They’re often gigantic rectangles that I associate with noise and function over form. This is definitely more progressive looking than the blocky designs I see on the road.
Automotive windows have been a solved problem and commodity for a while. I don't really understand the point of this demonstration, except for two possibilities:

1. They're gaslighting the Tesla faithful with "super strong" windows that are just normal. Or

2. Demonstrating they are still wasting tons of r&d dollars on non-problems and ought to bring in an adult who can design and manufacture commodity things efficiently.
And the sides of the bed of the truck come down at an angle so you can't lean over the side to grab something out of the bed or sit on the side of the bed. Strapping things down at an angle like that will be difficult as well.

It's tough in unimportant ways but weak when it comes to the bed which is arguably the most important feature of a truck.

I think this vehicle is better described as a crossover. For a crossover its not as ugly to me because I'm not hung up on the design decision to neuter the bed. But as a truck it looks like they chose a really terrible looking form over function.
If the territory is designed off the map, however...
this tool is amazing. tried it out and set it up yesterday evening :)
Wouldn't they have that incentive regardless?
It's funny cause any specific "Chinese way" that might have existed during these thousands of years was inherently crushed in the second half of the 19th century. I mean, the party that runs the whole thing is the "cultural" creation of some European idealists who lived in the 19th century (from Saint-Simon and Fourier going to Marx and Engels). Not to mention that the Taiping Rebellion, which was to blame for the death of 10 to 20 million people, was the result of a Chinese farmer who thought of himself as Jesus Christ, partly as the result of interacting with an American baptist priest [1]

Or, you can just hook up Postfix or Sendmail to send via SES as outlined in the docs. Works for more than PHP too.
