> It was definitely interesting when their tone shifted on the election outcome.

This was pretty intriguing to me, because I do believe Fox had a lot to do with the radicalization of their side of things. It drove their support, and the moment they backed off from the crazy train, people abandoned them in droves for whatever agreed with the direction they were heading, be it Newsmax or OAN. Fox brought on it's own downfall here.
Thanks – just supported SpaceHey.
Accurately describing what is going on is not hyperbole. People like you gaslighting us about what we see is what has allowed Trump to get away with so much.
There are an inordinate amount of amazing things about Japan and the Japanese; and it's why I've spent over a decade studying the culture and language.

But it's not really fair to use only rose-colored glasses. There are serious issues with extreme conformity and group-think in Japan. Yes, there's exceptions to everything, but overall it's far more extreme there than it is elsewhere.

Expectations for how you are supposed to behave and interact are much more strict; and that sort of thing really does rob people of their individualism, to some extent. And you can see this by way of Japan having the seventh highest suicide rate in the world; with only two countries significantly higher than theirs.

Surely, every country has its problems; but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about any of them.

> You just don't say that you are happy with yourself because it can limit your development, it makes you look vain, etc, etc.

Tell that to the producers of the TV show Cool Japan :P

(For those who haven't seen it, it's a show that brings in tourists from around the world to gawk about Japanese exceptionalism in all things; while the Japanese hosts inquire why other countries are so backward by comparison. You probably think I'm exaggerating; but I can assure you, it's actually even worse.)
IANAL, so take everything I say with a truck of salt.

The DMCA requires that each takedown notice is made under penalty of perjury. However, the statement is "I believe that this work infringes on my copyright." rather than "This work infringes on my copyright." So long as the person issuing the takedown notice believes that it is valid, there are no consequences.
I'm also interested - return of function keys and three discrete mouse buttons.

If linux is not working out of the box, I imagine it'll be working in short order, given it's a thinkpad.
Negative View:

I guess it's a matter of perspective?
Some libertarians advocate self-service (or privately contracted) enforcement with public adjudication.
Both of you are really close to agreeing ...
... really? Torontonian here. No care to leave, ever.
One example of his being polite doesn't mean he doesn't also make fun of competition publicly. Look at the interview where the interviewer asks him about a competitor's electric car (BMW I think) and he just laughs for a not-insignificant amount of time followed by something like "have you seen the thing?"
Leaving aside the specific laws in question (to avoid derailing this into a discussion on the sanity of drug laws), it seems completely reasonable to seize assets generated by illegal activity, if such activity has been proven in a court of law. The accused remains innocent until proven guilty, and the seizure should be tied directly to a guilty verdict and included as part of sentencing. (In the case of a crime involving one or more victims, most notably theft, the proceeds should go directly to those victims.)

Today however, the processes for property seizure occur almost independently from the procedures of the criminal justice system; seizures can occur without any guilty verdict, and there's no guarantee that property will be returned to innocent people.

Yes, money goes very far here, but you are kind of getting what you pay for. My apartment is nice, but the water if full of arsenic. My internet connection is great, when the underwater AAG cable isn't being attacked by sharks. The food is awesome, until a few hours later when I'm popping pepto like candy.

Sorry, I'm really sour grapes on this place at the moment. The first two years were amazing, but like once you are really living here, the shortcomings of the place become all too apparent.

I don't think Java will get many defenders here. But try that in Scala, with Spray. There're a couple of lines of boilerplate to create the actor system, but that's about all. And you get a system that's flexible enough to let you write route definitions that look like a config file, but everything's typesafe. Your routes are just functions, you can refactor them like ordinary code. So too are the kind of "cross-cutting concerns" like authentication or async calls that you'd have to either have built into your framework, or use some kind of "magic" (AOP, monkeypatching) to add to all the methods where they were needed. https://github.com/spray/spray/tree/release/1.1/examples/spr...
I noticed that when I was doing testing. I've opened an issue for this.
'xargs -n' elicits fond memories of spawning large jobs to my Openmosix cluster ! I miss Openmosix.
The first point in the article was to have a login with FB, Google, etc.

Most websites aren't special enough to warrant yet another account. Of course they need to keep track of people.
Men wage war physically because they are physically stronger. Women wage psychological war. Women also prefer powerful men, forcing men to 'prove' themselves, ultimately chosing alphas.

Men are more involved, but women are at the root cause of violent acts. Most men are not violent and given time, violent men will be rooted out by brainy meeks. It is women who chose to copulate with violent men than the meek ones.

It is a very bad statement to say 'why men love war', and is only an insidious way of saying the patriarchal statement that 'loving war is manly'. To be expected in 1984, but not today.
> Hasegawa’s ability to read three languages, Bernstein says, gives him a unique advantage over other scholars. Hasegawa spent years working through primary documents, with a deep understanding of linguistic and cultural nuance. His knowledge was especially valuable because historians of the period face such fragmentary and contradictory evidence, in part because the Japanese destroyed many documents.

> But therein lies the weakness of the Hasegawa interpretation as well, Bernstein says. After a long war and in the space of a few days, the Japanese leadership was hit with two extraordinary events - Hiroshima and the Soviet invasion - and sorting out cause and effect, based on incomplete documentation, may prove impossible.

There's something else barely examined in the article as well (beyond 2 sentences). I would imagine that totalitarian governments will behave differently from democratic republics when their own people are dying.

Why do you think the focus itself is harmful? Does 1984 in some way detract from the issue of state control over personal lives, or is it the hubris of the issue that makes it so difficult .. because if you're referring to the hubris, I can understand that. Its a kind of fatigue that sets in when 1984 is brought up, over and over again, and people stop paying attention to the real issue because the pop-culture knee-jerk reaction is to devalue the message due to the fatigue of no solution. There is no solution to 1984; its a dire conundrum with no end, and I think this is a source of definite stress in the issues.. the book itself does not discuss a solution. However, discussing the book is a solution, because it brings the issue to a point where an individual can be aware that they have to always be vigilant against state intrusion.

But this is not always the case - for the younger generations who are not familiar with the issue, 1984 is a very important piece of literature. For those of us who have suffered decades of ignominy over the crimes of our governments, sure: fatigue is the issue. But, we must never be willing to put our freedoms aside, for a little relief from repression. Always be aware, and always fight back!
Heroku my feels cheaper when you think about how long you can punt on having ops proper person(s) & how much time you save rolling your own everything.
Serious incident is the grade below accident, because nothing bad actually happened, but in other circumstances it might have.

For example if the aeroplane had been on a relatively short runway, and its passengers consisted entirely of overweight women who were miss-classified as much lighter children, perhaps it would have struggled to clear the runway at calculated power.

Flight crews are not trained to attempt to overrule the computer by explicitly commanding maximum thrust because humans are bad at figuring out if they're accelerating as much as expected - and so in the absence of a check that the plane is performing as anticipated † they are going to have a bad time if the calculations are badly enough wrong.

Why not just always use maximum thrust? Well if you're an aircraft carrier, or maybe even a military base you could definitely do that, but if you're a civilian airfield then the tremendous noise from jet engines at maximum performance is a constant problem and so you want jets to calculate a lower take off power that's still safe in order to reduce noise.

† [in some newer Airbus configurations the plane can work out its real acceleration and which runway you're on and conclude whether it will not successfully take off before it runs out of runway and so caution the pilots to abort before V1 when it's still practical - it doesn't matter why it isn't accelerating what matters is that you won't fly if you don't go fast enough, they can spend as long as they like to troubleshoot when they have stopped]
Seems like dirty hacks, all over the place. Your boarding pass doesn't usually have your date of birth, and it seems the system that estimates the weight only has access to the boarding pass info/passenger manifest. The BP does have your title, although it makes me wonder how they differentiate between adult man or child.

I have friends who's job it is to come up with names for new drugs. It's actually a difficult task, since it needs to be easy to remember, create a slightly positive or neutral association with consumers, and most importantly, not be even close to a dirty/offensive word in any language used in a major market

It does result in some super silly names. So much so, that when I studied pharmaceutical sciences, we made a drinking game called "Pokémon or Drug"
FWIW i've been using developer edition for a long while now so that i can run my own extensions without having to ask for Mozilla's permission and never had any issues. The main annoyance is that it wants to update every other day but that is a minor thing.
I put it in quotes to try and avoid this type of retort. Whether or not they're still used or are now considered inappropriate, the meaning behind the terms hasn't changed. FWIW I still see the terms used occasionally in the UK with 'Master' being used for an unmarried male.

BTW, Xenix was available as a third party OS for the Apple Lisa. (But I do not know of any Apple applications for Xenix.)
I think main point is: "don't run your own k8s cluster unless you are google size".

You are right, will remove that line. Thanks!

BTW, I was JUST talking about the input experience
Yeah that's been annoying me too. I'll make it an option in the view menu.

Yes it's based on Quicktime. It uses QTMovie for most of the high level stuff, but I did have to dip down to the old school procedural QuickTime API for some stuff. Which sucks because those API's are only available in 32-bit apps.

For frame accuracy, that's the low level API stuff. QuickTime, in general, is frame adverse though, so it's sort of hack-ish to make it work.
I see, yes the first instinct is to think that perhaps a lemming could survive forever by constantly bumping into other lemmings. But that's not possible because a lemming traveling in the same direction as the candidate will never bump into him, and traveling in the opposite direction the maximum survival time after the bump is the 30 seconds I mentioned - which I why I only considered 2 ants.

I hadn't quite got to the conclusion that a bump and change is equivalent to no bump and no change though.
Sure, I guess the assumption is that those "dollars away" also include the money to run a whole lot of unmanned flights, a bunch of manned-but-risky flights and have some failures (hopefully of the unmanned kind) in the process of making the whole thing repeatable.
A simple "Sorry - I cannot disclose due to contract signed" should fix the issue. There isn't much the company or recruiter can say beyond this.

Think of a salary negotiation as an Enterprise Sale. Always force the other side to offer a number first and try and try and delay this until they see value in your service (i.e. after the interviews)
And now there are four post about creativity.
Good luck lifting 6 tons with a hot air balloon. (That's what this contraption weighs). Even a small one would be out. A four person hot air balloon can lift about 1 ton max, including all the gear, gas, burners etc. That leaves very little room for deadweight such as water, on the plus side you wouldn't have to take any ballast at all.
I agree that there are a lot of languages that do Groovyish things, and that does make it easier to do without Groovy, but still none of them hits that sweet spot quite the way Groovy does. Groovy is still what I'd like the next version of Java to be.
Living in a abundant world, I know that I will not have time to enjoy it all. My strategy is to prioritize.

I realized that I will not have enough time to read all the books I want, watch all the Youtube videos I like, play all the games I want, do all the things I wish.

Every time I finish something I ask to myself "What is the most important subject to me at this moment", and I watch, read, play about it.

If I'm on a cinema, or reading a book that I realize it's not good or I'll not like, or just lose interest, I simply leave it, because life is too short for bad books, or bad movies.
You missed H1B.
On GitHub you can have tests run before you've merged, so you know whether it's safe or not.
Sorry to be old and reactionary : ) but the young folk that make theses arguments, or are even aware of these arguments are something of outliers. Have this young lady go back to her highschool and find 100 folks that are capable of running a company. 50? 5? Maybe one or two, or maybe a couple in that entire metropolitan area are ready for significant investment.

Nothing wrong with outliers, my grandfather started a groundbreaking business before he was 21 and worked for his own investment funds from his early teens. An he was an outlier. An amazing guy, built his first warehouse with castoff boards, he certainly was not getting a bank loan.

Miss Debenham's issues will be moot and she will be fine will do fine far far in the future, 2012 or so.
Doesnt this defeat the purpose tho as it could be filtered?
Oh man. Take a chill pill. We've got a ton more meaty posts coming, just skip this light one, have a good Saturday. We've got "comparison of different ARM processors", "detailed look at how executables work", "benefits of stale DNS with Consul", an analyst report and a series on designing our Teams product.

Can't wait? Read this instead: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-now-support-c...

I actually wrote that post because the internal blog pipeline at Cloudflare had dried up. By posting it and cajoling people I managed to get a whole load of posts to appear (I bet some of those people were thinking "I can do better than THAT!")
UBI is the only one that makes sense to me.

There has to be a domestic market of people buying stuff for the rest of the economy to exist. If all the people are automated out of jobs, then that domestic market has to be provided by UBI. The funds for that provision have to come from corporate taxes. Probably a tax on capital spending or depreciation - if you're replacing labour with capital and the government relies on taxes on labour for its revenue, then the government has to switch to taxing capital.

If there was a way of not involving the government in this, that would probably work better. The dream, of course, being The Culture - no government at all, just people acting in their enlightened self-interest in a post-scarcity world.
When I read about massacres in general, I wonder what any regular civilian can learn about how to detect the conditions that lead to them, or prevent them from happening. The first step I think is to look at them unblinkingly.

The counterfactual view of "if only there were someone there to protect them," only marginally reduces the massacre to a battle where many people are still killed, albeit with some likelihood of there being at least some survivors. If we ask what could have prevented a battle, it's what hypothetically prevents every battle, which is, if not the cost/benefit to the combatants, at least the risk/reward yields some kind of equilibrium where people aren't killing each other. (I sympathize with the american 2A conservative view that reduces to preferring battles to massacres, but even they would agree most prevention is upstream of that.)

Massacres are not random, they work for the people who order them. They are not about taking territory or defending it, they are a demonstration meant to instill terror so that a target people will not fight or resist. It creates a fear that overtakes rational self in the population and reduces them to acting on fear instead of as people. The economics of brutality are such that local atrocities have a low risk and high reward that reduces the cost and effort to dominate the rest of the population. To think this way you must already see people as liquid and interchangeable, like Stalin's comment that the death of one is a tragedy but the deaths of many is a statistic. The men who ordered this massacre operate on that view.

This particular story of mothers binding the hands of their sons to prepare them for execution raises the question we ask about every other historical massacre, which is, "why didn't they resist?" The question itself gets attacked as blaming victims, but it's much more nuanced than that. The answer is because they were lied to. They didn't resist because they believed they could sacrifice their way out and that they were saving themselves and others by not resisting. History tells us over and over that they aren't.

How to prevent massacres? I don't know, but I do know we have to look at them coldly. The only thing I can see is that it's way upstream of the events themselves, and the necessary condition for every single one is a lie and a deception, and that deception is what we recognize as the real capital-E evil in all of it. We might not be able to prevent future massacres, but every person has the capacity to resist deception, and also to name it as what we recognize as evil. If you detect cancer early, you can stop it, but if you let it go, it consumes the body. The same can be said for deception, where all live with a little, but unchecked, it is consuming.
The CGP Grey video is particularly visual and well-designed; and especially well described is everyone unboarding after each experiment, using the slowest method of all.
Fair. However, because marginal rate differs by year, now we need to know what year's money that nanny's wage is being paid out of to make that 50 vs 70 calculation.
People uninformed should be informed. Energy consumption and pollution effects everyone.
It's not often the best solution is to "send the boys round", but in this case it may be the only workable option.
FWIW, I have submitted a somewhat similar configuration as a pull request for ioerror's duraconf project at https://github.com/ioerror/duraconf/pull/52.

Even though this is a predominantly American dominated site, I thought it might be interesting to discuss such a bold public infrastructure project. Especially now since $1.0AUD = $0.98USD which makes cost comparisons a bit easier.
