What about a 60% majority voting to commit kill the other 40% of the population because they felt mildly irritated by that 40%? How does killing 40% weigh against relieving the irritation of 60% and how is that optimal?
I agree Lyn Alden is one of the best writers about this. I'd like to add this article by her: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4407906-treasury-yield-stre...

It's her analysis about money supply, yield, inflation.
If you're wondering, this is unrelated to the Ghost blogging platform, which uses a different markdown editor.
Not if they sell the rest of their services profitably.

I keep throwing large sums of money at AWS because they insist on making their products useable. AWS wants to me adopt their products, they want to remove barriers, they want to help me make money. I have no problem continuing to invest in their services.
This is bad reasoning.

The existence of balding celebrities does not mean that balding has no affect on sexual attractiveness.

A lot of celebrities are famous for reasons other than attractiveness.

Balding and bald are also different (which was part of my point).

> "There is no general truth to sexual attractiveness as related to hair, or height, or skin colour, or weight, or…"

This is just straight false. There are always varied preferences and outliers, but there are general trends too. You ignore them at your own peril.
If Thomas Jefferson hadn't replaced "property" with "pursuit of happiness" when he quoted Locke in the Declaration of Independence, we probably wouldn't be in this situation. People who own land should be free to use it as they wish as long as they aren't violating the rights of somebody else. Building an apartment building or a store anywhere you want should be fine but building a factory or power plant that pollutes or an open air stadium to hold concerts and sports events next to somebody's house without their permission wouldn't be. Free use of your own property should be a constitutional right just like free speech, freedom of religion and owning guns are.
I highly recommend taking a look at http://railstutorial.org/ which takes exactly the approach that you'd like. It eschews scaffolding and teaches you how to build everything up from scratch.
And you believe that using the union as an enforcer or as a protection racket was a good experience for you?

Just so I have this straight, you thought that a good outcome was to have your (clearly abusive) manager(s) silently seething with rage against you, but impotent to act on it, because of the union protection?

This was a good outcome to you, over, say leaving that hostile environment as fast as humanly possible, or, I don't know, turning in the manager(s) to higher-ups (or to state agencies if the abuse warranted)?

There is no hash. The zipping process at a high level works as follows ...

1) File(s) are compressed and a CRC32 is generated.The Checksum is placed in the header.
2) The file body is encrypted but the CRC32 is not.
3) A user tries to unzip and supplies a password. Irrespective of whether the password is correct or not the zip is decompressed and the Checksum is compared against the value in the header.

So there is no separate password for encryption/decryption like you ask.

Your whole point about polyfilling really avoids the issue that web components/Polymer is trying to address. Of course polyfilling is needed now for that, but until we have it, we won't have truly reusable web components, and claiming Riot can substitute Polymer is therefore a pretty big bait and switch, cool though Riot.js may be.

>> indeed, it seems to be fundamental in fetal development and cell regeneration (its suppression, apoptosis); the endocrine system, metabolism, repiratory, immunity.. I never knew how important iodine is, thank you for pointing this out, I'll study more.

Indeed, once you see how much it affects there is danger of sounding like some moron beating the same drum. Every time someone has any of those issues: "did you look into iodine?"

Another pet theory of mine is that the thyroid hormones are not signaling molecules, but rather the bodies storage place for iodine atoms. They are indeed named T1, T2, T3, and T4 based on the number of iodine atoms in the molecule.

> I'm one of those people that has a real mental picture of what I read

It's always interesting to me when I hear people say this, because I can't understand it at all. If you ask me to close my eyes and visualize a car, I don't actually see anything. I can recall what a car or a specific car looks like, but I don't actually "see" it in any sense. Same with reading - I don't (can't) actually visualize the characters, settings, etc. I'm always momentarily confused when someone complains about a film/TV adaptation with "such and such actor is really good, but that character is supposed to have GREEN eyes!". To me it's an incidental fact, whereas to some people it's central to their conception of the character (as if a real-life person had suddenly changed eye color for no apparent reason).

I've always wondered whether my condition is the norm, or if most people are capable of visual recall.

OP mentioned using AWS, in which case Amazon's built-in "Security Groups" feature can be used for restricting access to the instance by port or possibly by protocol. Naturally, however, one would not want any dangerous outbound traffic, such as unencrypted/unauthenticated automatic updates, so there also is merit in controlling which services and programs are running.

Is there any advantage in using a password manager over authenticating with e.g. your google account through OpenID?

I usually use my google account to login to websites I care about (most sensitive websites I know provide this facility) and moderately strong but easy to remember passwords for non-critical websites that don't provide OpenID (e.g. a forum I never consult).

Of course I have 2FA on the google account and I feel rather safe.

Should I be worried?

Just a few points...

I'm happy you are not afraid to call yourself "junior". Humility goes a long way to becoming a great programmer.

Asking permission is obeisance but it is also communication. Whoever you asked may have knowledge of dependencies upstream or downstream. By asking, you gave that person the chance to add a little context to the change you propose to make and, quite possibly, prevent the team from working overnight to correct an issue you created. Even with 25 years in the field, I still ask other engineers about changes I want to make. Quite often we talk through any ripple effects before I set hands to keyboard.

Be especially careful in modifying interfaces, library calls, etc. Basically, any module that other systems depend on should be modified with a lot of caution and testing. Your caution should grow at least linearly with the dependency graph.

Over time you will develop a sense of which changes you can make without asking, which changes you should talk with others about, and which ones to stay clear of.

Your primary responsibility is creating good software. Your second responsibility is staying employed. Don't fret over every oddity you see in a code base. Refactoring is good for all the reasons people listed in the comments. Figure out which ones have the highest value and talk with the other developers about them. ("Live to fight another day")
I love my Chromecasts. I have two of them in our house, and we don't have a television subscription, we just use a mixture of Plex, Netflix, and streams for sports. We're saving a bunch of money every year now, and it works great.

But damn, the lack of a desktop sdk/api for chromecast is just infuriating. I get it, Google believes in Mobile and Web only, but you'd think if they're shooting for market domination, they wouldn't ignore an entire market segment in terms of developer options.

DON'T take your kid on a $10,000 trip to Europe. DON'T spend $11,700 on "child therapy". DON'T buy your kid a $23,000 new car for their 16th birthday. DON'T send your kid to private school.

You would be surprised how many known bugs an average game has when it ships. I'm sure the last week before GM is a very hectic week for those individuals that are determined to increase quality without breaking the game, but there are only so many hours in a day.

"the trick is to figure out how to use natural lighting for a majority of the input."

No, that really is impossible. Mother Nature's little growers are optimized for the amount of sunlight they receive on flat ground, and by trying to stack farms on top of each other you utterly inevitably mathematically reduce the amount of sunlight each floor can get to substantially less than that, because the floors occlude each other, except the top floor. To the extent that people fail to take that into account they really are failing at physics badly and Monbiot is correct to criticize them.

I think under the right circumstances and with plausible technological development this can make sense, but he's absolutely correct that doing it with current technology is completely infeasible and useless. My position is actually not what he is criticizing, and I'm still open to the possibility that while the future may look different, the actual best solution is something not yet evident. We may also simply reduce the costs of transportation such that growing something 1000 miles away simply isn't that big a deal ecologically. (We really, really, really need cheap energy, cheap in all senses of the term, ecologically as well as economically. And there are feasible possibilities.)

The Great Depression was global, but much of the damage was US-led, so the factors that made it a great depression, not just another footnote in economic history, are relevant worldwide. The world economy was already integrating, particularly in the areas of banking and finance, so US monetary tightening affected many European economies and currencies, causing crises in European banks and currencies worldwide. Meanwhile foreign direct investment from the US dried up, neutralizing what had been a major source of European productivity growth in that era.

Today, everyone's quit the gold standard and the forex situation is very different, blunting impacts of wild currency movements. US and European banks are not at risk of bank runs (as they are stabilized by general government policy and specific interventions), and whatever chaos we see, a ~35% contraction in the supply of USD is not on the table. If we are beset by deflation it's going to be puny in comparison.

It is worth mentioning that the Depression was also associated with major breakdowns in international trade, in part due to lots of tariffs. The bad news is we're tariff-happy again, but not as bad as Smoot-Hawley for now? The protectionist impulse bears monitoring.

And I'll finally clarify that we will still have a recession, and it might be pretty nasty. It's just not going to be Great Depression bad where we can't recover for a decade, not with just what's happened so far.

I think they will open up their ecosystem to let a apps grow really big organically. Then they will try to figure out a monetization strategy with the largest apps. App makers that do not play ball will probably get cut regardless of how big they are... There are good examples: Consider Zynga vs Lolapps when Facebook originally opened their API.

> Doesn't that exactly demonstrate that the legistlation is necessary?

It seems to be a response to the government's threat to legislate, albeit a ham-fisted one. Responding to a threat doesn't mean the threat is valid, or that the response is of any use to anybody.

The difficulty with any analysis of the impact of Google and Facebook on news in Australia is that news has never been funded directly. It was traditionally paid for by advertising revenue which was obtained from advertising products that were co-delivered, interspersed among news products.

Google's advertising model superseded Murdoch's traditional advertising model, but Murdoch's core advertising businesses were not killed by Google alone. They lost out to direct internet competitors:

Seek took the classified advertising revenue for jobs

Domain took the classified advertising revenue for property

eBay, Gumtree, Facebook and Google took the display advertising revenue

If the government's concern is that journalism has suffered, the evidence it can point to is that 50% less people are employed in journalism compared to 20 years ago. The most sensible remedy for that problem is not to transfer wealth from Google and Facebook to Murdoch's entertainment corporations, but rather to fund grassroots journalism through programs that directly result in the production of news by journalists, in ways that preserve editorial independence.

Stocks used to be pieces of papers. In the goold old days, in the end of the day people were spending hours moving papers "stocks" around from your account to my account (literally, papers)(https://duckduckgo.com/?q=paper+stock+certificates&t=ffab&ia...)

Edit: OP deleted his/her comment while Throw and I were drafting ours.
Oh my god. I don't think you could have misunderstood this article more if you had tried. I can't even comprehend how you could read the article and come away with this conclusion. I can therefore only conclude that you either did not read the article at all, or that you read it entirely filtered through you preconceptions until you had built just enough evidence that what you believed already was correct. Then you rushed over here to comment about how everything is fine because society is sifting itself into the intelligent vs the unintelligent.

I actually read the goddamn article so let me restate it for you here to make it clear for you: The new advantage in our economy is essentially education, although the article uses the 5 dollar word "intellectual capital". Because the amount of "intellectual capital" a person has is closely tied to the amount of actual capital their parents have, we are seeing increasing inequality on this front. Rich parents are able to provide stimulation and training for their child from birth by way of having more free time because they can afford it, or by having various tutors for their child. When their child reaches school, rich people get better schooling for their children due to America's insane school funding paradigm. Finally, when those children reach college, rich people are actually able to afford to send their children to good institutions, and receive preferential admission for their "legacy students".

None of the above points to society filtering itself on some sort of intrinsic "merit" that a person is born with, leading to some grand meritocracy. Rather it points to a new type of capital being important in our system, and wealthy people being able to cultivate it for their children. Improving prospects for disadvantaged kids might just make them "smart", not that they are born smart and just held back by poverty.

TL;DR: Two kids of equal potential will have their economic circumstances dictate just how "smart" they become, and in an economy predicated on being "smart" this will lead to inequality. America should work to allow both children to become as "smart" as they possibly can be.
