In a sane world, maybe. The rot has set in too much to stem it. Also, what you say has to work both ways. You might be prepared to listen, but what do you get in return when the other side is not prepared to listen to you?
We try our best to only accept books that we think are worth recommending. That said, I'm working on new implementations regarding your points, like votes, testimonials, ratings...
In the case of the press, the idea of journalism as opposed to the propaganda in evidence.

We're going The Full Orwell, so I guess I had better be about loving me some Big Brother.
Great, I'm going to test that :-) The delay with a bluetooth setup is very annoying...
Small stealth mode startup in Vancouver, Canada that does custom DSLs for the oil & gas industry. I found the job on my local CL, they were advertising looking for anybody who had read SICP, or had experience doing functional programming. It doesn't pay a lot but enough to live comfortably while single plus I get to hack around in Scheme all day, though now they want me to learn Haskell too.

I work 6hrs a day usually and spend the rest of time experimenting with my own DSLs for future side projects or enjoying life whereas before I'd go to work before the sun came up, work in a windowless office under constant unachievable deadlines then leave at night. I had money but no life.
I thought it was real until I read the comments.
Wait, so will this work for other schools, too? Like a UC perhaps?
Speaking as a citizen, the problem with the US's newest brand of digital weapons, is that they can be used on US population under the radar and w/o killing anyone. This may justify legally their extended use for surveillance unfortunately. The development of the atom bomb and chemical weapons had no "convenient" use on the USs own citizens, and they clearly couldn't get away with it. However, these weapons do, and they are being developed with all the same force, purpose, and financial backing as the a-bomb and chemical weapons were ~100 years ago.
He may not have been able to understand your answer without seeing it in code.
No, but being at an org that is losing because of the process node deadlock and turning in on itself is not fun.
Math is invented, not discovered. Sure the principles underlying the math may be Universal Truths but Mathematics is the art of expressing and using these Truths with the squidgy meat of the human brain and associated bits. Likewise with several other of these.
> Everybody I know is on Whatsapp/Signal

I wish I could say this. It seems the US is the only country where everyone wants to continue using SMS/iMessage for everything. It's literally the only way to communicate with most of my American friends.
> The US is even sanctioning Germany

The US has not sanctioned Germany. E.g. a US company subject to the EU Global Human Rights sanctions regime does not mean the EU is sanctioning the US.
I care that the editor I use has good support for the language I’m writing, so, like I explained in my post, I use Emacs since that’s where the language’s community puts their effort. Also, to address your first sentence, the things I don’t like about Emacs can’t be fixed by writing a bit of elisp.
PeerJS only came out half a decade ago.
I was excited for the same reason. I explored neo-davidsonian semantics last year in the context of graph grammars. It would be great to get back into that project.
I've dealt with the same nonsense. Is this your first time with that specific doctor? The doctor has to use one of the annual wellness visit codes, so if it's your first time, the doctor will charge you a new patient charge code, which is higher reimbursement than a wellness visit code, so insurers will deny it.

However, I was able to tell my doctor's office that I want the wellness visit charge code only, and they did that. I don't even see a reason for the new patient visit code to exist, since they are allotted the same time and subject matter.

For example:

https://content.highmarkprc.com/Files/EducationManuals/Geria...

If a doctor bills for code 99387, that might not covered under "annual wellness visit" or "annual physical" by the insurer, so you end up having to pay the whole amount if you haven't met your deductible. If the doctor bills code 99397, then it would be.

But it shouldn't be this hard. The insurer should be forced to show the codes that qualify for the free annual wellness visit, and you should be able to inform the doctor's office that you want to purchase services for that code and that code only.
I love having one place to watch all my favorite ads! And see how popular they really are holistically.
Kazakhs weren't the targets.
But that's a pun! It's literally the whole point!
So far roughly one third of the CO2 in the atmosphere is man made. It's not the majority but hey we are trying our best to increase that number. Give us some time!
Is it me or it looks like a proposal for US Army ?
You're not supposed to use struct tags, type aliases, "interface {}" or reflection either... that's a lot of features Go developers "aren't supposed to use"... Why are they here then?
Ok, then let me rephrase that, I care about whatever it is that makes me think this sentence. I don’t necessarily care about its specific implementation, whatever it is.

This doesn’t mean that I think I shouldn’t take care of my body – I know that it is instrumental to me – I just wouldn’t care much if it were destroyed should I be able to continue be whatever makes me write this sentence.
once you "get" lisp anything beside s-expressions/prefix notation feels "inside out" and asymmetrical. I think [ ] and { } should be reserved for things like dicts, vectors or lambdas.
> Terrorism is pretty much about murdering people.

No. Terrorism is, by definition, about using fear as a weapon to further your goals. Terrorism can be perfectly successful even if nobody dies -- it's all about playing your opponent's need to react against him. That's why even a fake bomb, or pre-announced bomb attacks IRA style are terrorism -- because there has to be a reaction to a bomb threat, at a relatively small cost a terrorist can force the opponent to do huge evacuations and bomb sweeps.

Completely ignoring the 9/11 would have been a better reaction that what the USA took -- but as usually with well planned terrorism, completely ignoring the attack would have been politically impossible.

> And what is a proper reaction to an organized attempt to kill civilians in your country?

A proportioned response against the attackers, instead of some of their various allies or complete third parties.
It's not like Chatroulette was going to be a long-term thing. It's million-dollar-homepage 2.0.

No its not. Apple can hardly sell the Apple TV concept at at their current price point, these are alot more expensive. People wont pay it.

I should imagine these cost more than most people's TVs.
Well, the hard part about paypal and probably google checkout isn't processing payments, it's managing fraud - see Max Levchin's interview in the (very good, imho) "Founders at Work" book.

So I'm not surprised google has to do potentally damaging things to somehow make it all work.

The strange part to me is that they don't require and automate this buyer contact info & tracking number gathering from the start.
If someone is smart enough to hop IP addresses to avoid your firewall, surely they can come up with ways to tunnel a VPN out of your network (eg through DNS or over port 443...)
In addition to desk ergonomics:

* See a physio for the elbow, do all the exercises they prescribe.

* Get up and walk often (get a drink of water for example).

* Walk as much as you can outside of the working day, at lunchtime etc.

* Stand up as much as possible, e.g. at meetings, on the train/bus, to counteract the sitting. Sit/stand desk might help if you can have one.

* This probably wont apply, but consider if you need reading glasses to help you see the screen without leaning in.
Have you tried Microsoft Forms and Microsoft Flow? They are the equivalent of your G Forms work flow
I agree. A simple to use software, that does very well the things you need for personal / home ( & very small businesses) use (family/personal business budget, lists, calendars, small inventories...). With a large library of well designed, elegant templates. For LibreOffice ( and many other FOSS packages, really) many more contributors should focus on how things look and feel, rather than how many things the software can do...
More Airtable than Excel.
Were any of the above firms that wanted to compete with Match, or were they just happy with being bought out?

I mean, in your scenario, if I had a successful dating app and wanted to be acquired by someone, I could end up being prevented from doing so.
I'm not worried. People will go back to RideAustin if the paid apps raise prices. Meanwhile, I like my VC subsidized rides.
A review I just read (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.0220...) suggests both of our viewpoints and seems to allow for a continuum of approaches without resorting to name-calling. I think that there's definitely stupidity in the history of "anti-anthropomorphism" if it's really true that people dismissed an article that started by saying bees appear to dance. After all, the fact that they have a behavior like that suggests something interesting is going on. It's also really easy to go overboard in simplifying animal behaviors to our own poorly-understood human behaviors.
Just admit that looks are the only thing that matter on dating apps that push casual encounters. It's not hard to comprehend; sure it's a tough reality to swallow but once you realize where you are and why you aren't getting dates on these apps its almost cathartic.
If you looked, I'm sure you could find somebody somewhere. It's not even close to common though.
For an awesome panel like that, it was a pretty mediocre Q&A discussion.
Right. He's basically complaining that certain individual taxes (like sales tax) serve to mitigate the progressive nature of income tax, making the net result still progressive but not as steep as he wants. That is a fair position to argue, but not really a new contribution to the discussion (this makes it off-topic for HN.)

An analysis of corporate taxes and regulations, and how they are passed on to consumers, would be a genuinely new contribution. This would be especially interesting if feedback effects were included -- paying sales tax on something with an inflated price due to other taxes, for example. We have a government that specializes in taxes (and fees and regulatory costs) that are hidden from the consumer; it would be a great contribution to show which subset of consumers actually ends up paying those.
In other words Sony feel they need to at least make the iOS brain-drain a two way street?
That's like counting all the people in the French Foreign Legion as soldiers of their home country.
Interesting--they're basing the 2D graphics on Cairo, which is probably the best choice available in the OSS world.
The probe is good up to 425F
Ah, but the way the authentication works, you are not actually giving me a Facebook/Twitter password. You actually log in through their systems, and then they let my website know that you are authorized. I never get the password information.

I use the same system used on http://decafsucks.com/login. The authors suggest (perhaps some bias here) that one of the reasons decafsucks.com has had success is they were able to avoid asking for yet another password, and instead piggy-backed on Facebook/Twitter.

Do you think assuring users that I don't get the password (you can see this when you click on one of the login options) is enough, or should I get to work on a separate authentication system?
If you've "almost" fully recovered, i.e. still showing symptoms, you're still shedding viral particles when you go out and putting others at risk. Wait 14 days after all symptoms have totally subsided, then going out would be relatively safe. But really, you should have multiple tests to be sure.
This was my initial thought as well and this is a very clever way of splitting the baby. I hope you don't get sued out of existence.
really awesome documentation of your setup
> Pandemics kill people and recessions ruin people. Saying they have silver linings is a step too far. But I wonder if the best map we have that tells us what to expect next is the kind of extreme cooperation, solidarity, and empathy we last saw in the 1940s. And I wonder if we’ll look back at COVID-19 as one of the worst things to happen to us, yet triggering something positive that couldn’t be achieved any other way.

I really -- really -- hope the author is right. His arguments are persuasive and his logic is sound, but I'm less certain than he is of such a positive outcome.

Another historical precedent to keep in mind is the Little Ice Age in Europe, which brought about both sustained economic depression (due to poor crop growth and poor livestock survival) and widespread disease (due to increased activity of pathogens and disease vectors), including the Black Death. During this horrendous period, economic depression and widespread disease fueled each other, generating a lethal feedback loop. Quoting from Wikipedia: "Communities often lashed out via violent crimes, including robbery and murder; sexual offense accusations increased as well, such as adultery, bestiality, and rape. Europeans sought explanations for the famine, disease, and social unrest that they were experiencing, leading to the act of placing blame upon the innocent" (think Jews, women accused of witchcraft, people accused of blasphemy, and so on). "Evidence from several studies indicate that increases in violent actions against marginalized groups that were held responsible for the Little Ice Age overlap with years of particularly cold, dry weather."[a]

Back to the present: If most societies on earth blame an impersonal pathogen for this disastrous shock, and if governments everywhere manage to keep populations in reasonably good living conditions throughout the crisis, we may indeed see more unity against a common enemy. But if most societies resort to scapegoating, Heaven help us.

This isn't idle talk: As I write this, Trump is actively blaming "the Chinese" and "foreigners" for the virus,[b] while some Chinese officials blame "the Americans."[c] Russian media, by instinct or calculation, is blaming "America" too.[d] Others (e.g., Turkey's Erdogan, Iran's leaders) blame "a Zionist plot"[e] or other crazy conspiracies.[f]

The shock of COVID-19 could give demagogues everywhere fuel for re-lighting a fire of old prejudices and hatreds that had remained subdued for a generation or longer.[g]

As I wrote above, I really HOPE the author is right. I hope "the better angels of our nature" prevail.

Windows' use of WinSXS and RAM scales with the available capacity. That behavior with WinSXS particularly irks me as it implies acknowledgment that most of those files are unnecessary, yet there's nothing you can do to combat the cancerous tumor that grows in a 128-256gb partition.

I've found 2gb to be perfectly usable with Win7 and 8, Chrome's voracious appetite for memory would be a sticking point, except I've noticed that it does a better job of managing itself when RAM is limited. Chrome runs just fine on 1gb Chromebooks despite having just 768-512mb available most of the time. I will say that the Atom processor is a concern with Chrome even though I know the latest versions are roughly 2-3x more powerful than the Pineview dual core I had in my old Dell netbook. Chrome routinely maxed out the processor on every page load while Firefox and IE never needed more than 25% of the available CPU horsepower. Tripling the available power would eliminate the 5 second lockups I experienced but it could still be a slow, stuttery user experience.
I have no idea why Im such a sucker for these monstrous time-sinks for no reason whatsoever. But I loved it.
How would MS stop anyone from integrating with AD?
Been using a self hosted version of Mattermost for our students as a main form of communication and the markdown support is something I absolutely love. Thanks.
pretty hard to enable lisp without eval or garbage collection
Im guessing there are still lots of people that require physical printing that use Chromebooks and the like. Is there a built in printing solution for them now? Because when the Cr48 was out the Chrome team recommended using Cloud Print.
I don’t think Rust has ever promised to be simpler than C++. It is simpler, in my opinion, but while I think it’s probably a good goal to shoot for, I’ve never seen anything that says it is an explicit goal of the language.

It does go out of its way to be ergonomic, which could be interpreted as simpler.
Nobel price in economics has consistently higher quality and more prestige than literary or the peace prices.
WAVM has had support for multiple values for a long time.

Glad to see that feature finally getting more traction. This will be extremely useful for languages such as Go.
Can someone explain more ? I am not familiar with haskell. So is this like a Twitter like functional demo ?
It is quite possible to responsibly implement Facebook "like" buttons on your own pages without violating your users' privacy. I wish more people would do it. I suspect that including Facebook like Pages the way Facebook wants you to do it could be considered a gdpr violation, if it were interpreted that way perhaps people would actually fix it.

On the CII best practices badge site, we implement responsible links. As explained in our security assurance case,
"We do have links to social media sites (e.g., from the home page), but we do this in a privacy-respecting manner. It would be easy to use techniques like embedding images from external (third party) social media sites, but we intentionally do not do that, because that would expose to an external unrelated site what our users are doing without their knowledge. We instead use the approach described in "Responsible Social Share Links" by Jonathan Suh (March 26, 2015), specifically using share URLs. In this approach, if a user does not press the link, the social media site never receives any information. Instead, a social media site only receives information when the user takes a direct action to request it (e.g., a click), and that site only receives information from the specific user who requested it."

I don't mind people sharing information on Facebook, as long as they choose to do so. If they chose to do it, that's fantastic. What bothers me is Facebook being able to track people without their consent.
A lot of gluten in foods comes from GMO wheat which is grown using chemicals. Maybe it isn't the gluten so much as the chemicals from the wheat that the gluten is from that are causing the problems.
I've been able to test only with mine of course, which is 589. I'm guessing its because of your number. There's a post on Stack Overflow about the troubles I had with that function, looks like I'm not done. Would you be willing to post in the discussions on the app page?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4281210/facebook-mutual-f...
Indeed. It's not new, it's not news, and it's not really interesting.
Wait, what does it do?

It might be obvious once I sign in with Twitter, but I'm not likely to do that unless I know what it is.
Google Analytics does this ("benchmarking"), at least for traffic information (time on site, visitors, etc). Admittedly I don't think they do a great job of it, but are you aware of their offering, and can you explain how you'd distinguish yours from theirs?
Aren't we looking for a future shirt owner?
While I don't necessarily meditate per se, I do chant everyday. I follow a sect of Buddhism known as Nichiren Buddhism. Basically, the chanting helps to elevate our life conditions so that we're able to face any challenges in our daily lives. You focus on changing your attitude/thinking so that you affect your environment and not the other way around. Buddha in Your Mirror (http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Your-Mirror-Practical-Buddhism/...) and Buddha in Daily Life (http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Daily-Life-Introduction-Daishon...) are 2 interesting books that I'd recommend if anyone's interested.
In 2006 MySpace was the dominate social networking site...
Making money is ok, you do have to acquire resources. But you can do it without resorting to creating an advertising network ;)

I'm not sure what the solution is to your problem, but start charging money for some of the information somehow, market it better, put some ads up, I don't know.

If you can get any sort of help from the local community, the state or federal governments, then go for that.

It's hard to help other people or even offer advice sometimes because we have our own personal troubles to deal with.
Do you ship to the US? :)
Perhaps he was expecting to see evidence of racism due to Henry Ford's connections with anti-semitism.

Google "henry ford racism".

If you want a dead tree source, I think Anthony Sutton's "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" had references. Been a while since I've read it. Pretty sure it is out of print, but PDFs are online.
