Habits actually make it worse for me because I go through on autopilot and then I have no way to confirm mentally if I skipped a step or not.

What helps me the most is to actually make a mnemonic to remember that I did something when I did it, by closely paying attention to my specific actions. For example, if I lock the door, I will specifically check my watch and note the date and time and that yes, I did just lock my door right then. I find I can get relief by referencing that timestamped memory, whereas with truly habitual behavior I still need to double check. Using a mental checklist or something would probably be a good option too, but then I have to compose the checklists beforehand and it's a pain.

I do think there is something to be said for the age question, although starting at 19, I think I was passed the main formative period. Actually I think the most important thing is the # of years, since I would not be saying these things after 1 or even 2 years of smoking, but only now almost 3 years later am I starting to get concerned.
My phrasing is such because "internet facing library" is not a well established concept, in any sense.
"with little or no appreciable downside risk"

Except, as I pointed out, it has serious downside risk. If you do it wrong, you are heavily penalized by law.
If you do it right, you get some vague and possibly zero benefit.
The startup I worked for a few years ago was an early customer of Browserless (one of the first maybe?). We had a large crawling system we were developing and used Browserless as a time saving way to scale up interfacing with headless chrome. Joel worked with us directly to address issues and bugs and freed us up to focus on our crawlers and not on managing distributed headless chrome.
Cynically we could say that the current news cycle is about putting pressure on big tech companies to try to rig the next election in favour of a Democrat.

Even more cynically we could say that an awful lot of people at an awful lot of tech companies want to do exactly that, and “responding to pressure” just gives them a perfect excuse.
Yes, but you’d definitely get questioned for interacting with the pump directly.
Rolling your own crypto is dreadful advice. You’re making tweaks to something to avoid a backdoor you don’t know exists and in the process likely opening yourself up a gaping hole in the middle.
No, wavelength is just one more dimension along which intensity may vary (in addition to X, and Y, and time), not five or six more dimensions, so a multi-band image is only three-dimensional, regardless of whether there are three wavelength bands (like RGB or YCbCr), four (like RGBA), 8 (like Landsat), or 210 (like HYDICE, AVIRIS, and other imaging spectrometers).
I read that it results in an extra inch or two in other places as well.
A python package called OCRmyPDF. It has same defaults and works very well for my use case.
While this might have the effect of symptomatically addressing visible prison problems like fights, it would only further exacerbate some of the worst soft problems like the overall inhumanity of incarceration, and its emphasis on punishment instead of rehabilitation.
Er no, a /23 means they control the last 32-23 = 9 bits, so that's 512 addresses. So /if/ they sold that for $10 per address which is plausible that would be about $5000.
I strongly suspect that greed is much older than capitalism.

This is one of the reasons I was so glad to ditch my iPhone. They bury shit that you want to access frequently in Settings.

Want to turn your WiFi on/off? It's 2 or 3 menus deep in settings. Same with brightness. I change both of those several times a day.

And there's nothing you can do about it unless you jailbreak your phone.

On my HTC Droid Incredible, I have a power control widget that lets me turn on and off wifi, GPS, and bluetooth, and lets me toggle between 3 brightness settings. It only takes up 1/4 of a home screen. It's wonderful.
Due to the breakthroughs discussed in the OA, and some other things, I'd bet they'll have a "cure" of some sort for schizophrenia within the next 10 years, tops. Feels like they're hot on the trail. Also cancer and diabetes.
I don't see how this is relevant. Obviously KHTML is now surpassed by Webkit because most of the development for KHTML was diverted into Webkit + a huge influx of new dev from Apple and now Google. It doesn't remove from the fact that Apple benefited from the work the KTHML guys did. They could have used Gecko, but they didn't, obviously there was something good about KTHML.
Well, yes. You have to prove you're not a robot by passing a CAPTCHA test, many places (including Gmail) "require" you to be over 13, and from Google's TOS:

13.3 Google may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you if:

So I think the metaphor fits quite nicely, don't you?
Truly awesome ideas; ad feedback is something that makes a lot of sense. Context based ads based on intelligence embedded on ads is also a great idea. This would change advertising from static to a dynamic in nature. Giving advertisers the control is something that would create a lot of value.
With all due respect on this formula, it is only one instance of many possibities. There are numerous assumption being made. The range of outcome can easily be 10x different (with the mode being 0 obviously).

Could it gives a more reprentative picture if we can do a survey on successful exit? Something like glassdoor.com?

Also i've heard really good story happened to the talents in talent acquisition situations. I wonder if the number can turn out better in those cases, especially for non-founder and non-exec.
@Dwollb I'm also getting my MBA, and agree with you. There is a propensity for MBAs to get a bad rap in this community. I came into my program (Kellogg) with a tech background, and I know it has radically changed how I approach problem solving and other tasks.

Mmm none of these work for me on iOS Safari. Just loads gibberjish.

These waves continue to happen BECAUSE of the stay at home orders and not letting the young go out and become immune.

Almost every place that had loose restrictions is all but done with Corona if you look at daily infection rate.
Mainly because people who use plain text editors come to love the editor and don't want to leave it when they write prose.

But that editor is likely configured for monospace fonts, and it's easier not to change it.
On the one hand, you're absolutely right about usability. On the other hand...

> "the bulk of users is either too stupid or unwilling to invest even the tiniest amount of effort into their privacy."

Based on my interactions with users writ large, this assessment is on the money. Normies do not care and will never care.
NYC - could very well be a New York thing. Lived in Vancouver before where it was 15% so I assumed it was roughly the same everywhere
PBS and similar publicly funded channels seems to be the exception rather than the rule here. Apparently taking market forces out of the equations is a good way to make better content for kids
Axioms are the foundational assumptions from which formal systems of mathematics are built. Some systems of axioms are unable to prove the truth or falsity of some statements within that system. But you can add such statements to your set of axioms to form a new, larger formal system, which in turn has other indeterminate statements, and so on, thus building, in GP’s terms, an infinite playground of mathematics.

Book recommendation: Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter.
That's a stretch. There's no language support for it in terms of an operator, and it's in a package that's not referenced by default.
Doesn't this mean they will get fined out the arse by Europe under the GDPR?

Historically, that human was called a parent. Parents today have no chance at the on-slaught of content and the delivery mechanisms for it.

Unless you're letting a tablet, or the television raise your children, it's not because of the onslaught of content. The onslaught of content is nothing new - for the past century, mass media was producing more content than you could ever consume.

The problem is that parents aren't putting in the time and energy to curate the content their children consume. (I'm explicitly not going to go into the social reasons why, it's an interesting topic, but not really pertinent to this thread. Some people in this thread are bringing up technical reasons why, which I feel is more pertinent.)
I upvoted this without watching the entire video (shame on me).

However, upon review of the entire video, I would take my vote back if I could. It seems neither party communicated well.

No offense intended. Miscommunication happens when people aren't thorough.
You could, and that might get you the performance you need, but if not I would likely use https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi or maybe http://www.swig.org/ to call out to C++ or C code.

There's probably also a way to call Java, ( a quick search suggests https://github.com/joeferner/node-java perhaps) but I can't speak to that in particular.
"That is precisely the point of the court. To determine the truth so that the rest of us can know."

Uh, no, of course courts don't determine 'the truth', they decide what should be taken as the truth in the context of a legal question, and how the law applies to that. There is a widespread misconception about 'assumption of innocence', and it's that it applied any further than 'the judge should let himself be convinced that a defendant is guilty, not that that defendant is not guilty'. The rest of the public has nothing to do with that. For example, let's say you and I are in an elevator with nobody around and no cameras. Then I punch you in the face. Do we need a judge to tell us whether or not I punched you? Of course not, we both know what happened, and that is the truth. If you stumble out of the elevator with a bloody face and the impression of 4 knuckles on your cheek bone, should everybody who sees you stumble out then say I didn't do it until some judge rules I didn't? Of course not, it's blindingly obvious I did it, nothing to do with 'presumption of innocence', and nothing to do with 'wanting answers so desperately'.

>To use a hypothetical: Would you condone someone teaching particle physics in North Korea? How about biology? Chemistry? Turbine engineering? Teaching any of these would probably increase North Korea's ability to threaten and harm its people and the rest of the world. It's sad that this is the case, but it's hard to argue otherwise.

How's NK different from the US to that regard?

You know, the one country among those two that actually blasted two civilian cities with atomic bombs, sprayed Agent Orange over Vietnam, and has chronically had leaders who "speak with god"...
Really good hunters like my father, and to a much lessor degree myself, perhaps with lots of shotgun wing hunting experience, can make shots at moving targets. I witnessed my father make his very best shot in a long three quarters of a century of hunting at a running coyote (a pest as they've vastly extended their range due to our wiping out nastier apex predators) at ~350 yards with a 7mm Remington Magnum.

You "simply" lead enough so the target and the bullet with its time in flight intersect. In that hunt I did the same thing at maybe 50 yards, my point of impact was less than a foot off (it was a snap shot as the coyote briefly exited a dry waterway to get over the road there, absolutely no way would I have tried it without quite a bit of (generally unsuccessful :-) wing shooting experience). (Hey, it's conceptually simple.)

From another description of their stuff I got the impression a laser is only used to take a reading of where the end of the barrel is ... a laser range finder indeed problematic.

As for wind, if you're serious surely you'll use something heaver than 5.56/.223 ... maybe they didn't want the recoil from those rounds to disturb this newbie. They certainly didn't give him an opportunity to shoot their .338 Lapua Magnum wildcat round!

Yep, a toy for a class of hunters, and perhaps some will use this for mischief, but the high price and perhaps traceability due to the custom ammo etc. will deter that. But not the usual crew of pearl clutchers who, like the author, know nothing about how this has been done in real life since at least the American Revolution (the British thought it was terribly unsporting that our riflemen liked to pick off their officers).

Very much not the future for a whole lot of us. For US self-defense uses, the world's biggest gun market today, totally irrelevant, we first use handguns, and for rifles I'll take an Eotech holographic sight (one of many good modern innovative sights) over this any day. Or the forward mounted low magnification fixed power scope of my .308 Scout Rifle. Then again echoing a commentator, by the end of high school I'd finished my "10,000 times" on my JROTC rifle team.
Lets quote % of GDP when talking about a country with negligible GDP... honest!

If what you say is true: DPRK spends $3 billion (approx) on military.

It's neighbours spend the following:

China: $150 billion (approx)
South Korea: $33 billion (approx)
Japan: $50 billion (approx)

Lets not forget that South Korea and Japan are satellites for the US, and a conflict would involve them: $640 billion (approx).

So their spending is at least 10x less than their cheapest neighbour.
Or that the employer correctly realized a six-hour working day is a valuable enough perk that they could exchange it for a substantial salary cut.
women without children get paid 30% more than men with the same education in NYC.

Can you provide your source for this?
The gotcha here is: He is talking about 1.75GB of data. Off course you dont use hadoop for this. Hadoop is for BigData, not for a few gigs.

Use the right tool for the job. If you think you will scale to TeraByte size, dont start out with command line tools.
Generating money from programming is hard, really hard. I'm a professional developer (though a junior one) and I can't find ways to do it reliably.

If it's still interested in programming, here is my list of languages :

- Desktop : Python obviously. You can make little graphical interfaces, easy scripts, manipulate data in Excel or Word, even some remote automation since there are network libraires.

- Web : I would recommand against full-blown web frameworks like Django or Rails. Start small by using some simple static sites using HTML+CSS and then learn to build dynamic ones using PHP and Javascript.

I would also add that there are others ways to make money than programming : I know a 17 y.o. which rigged up a farm of Minecraft servers for his highschool and he's being paid by his classmates for the hosting.
Hmm. Yeah, you're right. Sorry.
Yeah, the onboard computer is a joke. In Stuttgart they have electric Smarts, and those are much more fun than the convential ones. Like auto scooter or something.
They're a bit older than that – this credible report suggests 'i18n' was in use at DEC in 1985, with appearances in public online discussions by 1989, and in books by the early 1990s:

Thanks. I should have spelled that one out.
I am possibly wrong, but from what I've read, this medicine allows the body to produce its own natural supply of the protein in question (which would otherwise be defective). It shouldn't increase the quantity produced, just allow what is produced to work.
Would you elaborate on the size of QT? I searched and found this link ([1]) that suggests when done right, the QT part is about 20MB.

I am asking this because sometimes people have different idea on what is accounted for being big.

What!?

Would you say "Oh, it's fine!" to someone religious who doesn't eat beef or pork but consumes trace amounts despite a sign saying Halal/Kosher Patties? (As mentioned in the article)

Consider if instead they were allergic -- would they accept something with trace amounts of their allergen?

Restaurants, fast food or otherwise, have an obligation to handle food in a safe manner.

Misleading customers with false advertising is wrong, and potentially dangerous. (I'm told some vegans develop an intolerance for meat over time)
>That's your definition of democracy. It's not how it is generally used today, because it doesn't work in anything of any size.

Interesting. Did people actually tested this and showed that it doesn't work? Was anybody asked what system to use? Did anybody vote for it not to be applied (even through representative democracy)?

Where's the proof that it "doesn't work in anything of any size"?

And why can't this "anything of any size" be broken down on smaller pieces where it works?

Who said once in four years is ideal? Who asked for N congressmen and not more, and who tried it experimentally to find the right number?

>As for the meaning of the word, it simply means that the people are ultimately the ones that are answered to.

It was coined to refer to a specific system. Not any system where "people are ultimately the ones that are answered to".

In fact, in modern "democracy" people are not "ultimately the ones that are answered to". They're just the ones who get to select candidates put forward to them, once every four years. Nobody answers to the people. At best, you can do what you like, break promises, etc, and you just wont be re-elected.

In the original version you could be immediately thrown out of power, exiled, or even executed if the people didn't like any particular action you took at any moment.

>Just because you can imagine some ideal that you consider "more democratic"

It's not some "ideal", it's an actual instance of the thing as it was put in practice.

In fact it's earlier, more original, and more pragmatic than the current system.
Embed a browser with all that stuff into a page. Whatever APIs are missing to make the "inner browser" unable to fulfill all the requirements that the "outer browser" will eventually be filled-in by well-meaning developers who want the Javascript VM in the "outer browser" to be able to host general purpose applications.
On the other hand, this might also give other people a false sense of security. Most people who tell you that "NAT provides security" think that NAT somehow drops packets, and if your network is actually targeted, this myth might well be the reason why someone ends up downloading all your files by connecting to your file server through your NAT gateway.
"the US continues to be one of the most free countries in the world in all respects."

If this is true, then why does it jail more people per capita than any other country by a long, long way?

Your population can't be simultaneously one of the most free and be the most incarcerated, as that makes no sense.
Every mobile platform that matters hooks into Exchange - iOS, Android, Mac OS X Mail, Surface Mail, Windows Phone, Pre-Windows Nokia, all speak ActiveSync for mail, calendar and contacts. Blackberries hook in with Blackberry Enterprise Server.

And most if not all of them have some kind of Office Document viewer and basic levels of editor, either built in, shipped with, or available as an app.

And how is Samba, a clone of Windows SMB file shares, going to help anything mobile?
Very cool - I agree 100%
Bureau of Labor Stats and US census:

$13k=pension for private sector worker in NY state

$27k=pension for public sector worker in NY state

Pensions will push states to declare bankruptcy. Illinois is the worst and I am surprised any business will do business with them since they are so far behind in paying its bills.
Clever! Can you share the script? I have something similar, but my computer takes a picture every 20 minutes or so and uploads them to my server ( http://lishin.org/pavelcam.jpg ), overwriting the previous one.

(To answer the inevitable question, yeah, it's caught me naked a few times.)
Google needs the ip4 address in this scenario, not the user.
It's not "selling" because it is useful to you?
With the Commerce Department and FTC reports both calling for better consumer protection, articles like this highlight how badly the current self-regulatory approach isn't working.
The 'made out of meat' is definitely a reference to a short story ( http://www.terrybisson.com/page6/page6.html ) which was also made into a short film ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaFZTAOb7IE ). Great stuff.

(Of course, SPAM® is also a meat product. Supposedly.)
Sounds great until Twitter revokes your API tokens.

Ah yes, those socialists and their totally not family friendly media? Really?

It's so you know you haven't been disconnected.

Please don't talk down to people regardless of how wealthy you are. You will always have the best luck by being warm but polite, talking respectfully but honestly.

Capitalism appears to be pretty real, and it appears to be pretty political. I would not say it "dominates" society since plenty of people seem to be against it in name alone.
How is this money "laundering"? It just seems like a way to use stolen credit cards to make fraudulent charges.
