> So, you realize that RMS is wrong on the GNU/Linux thing and somehow are still on the side of forcing pronouns?

No, I recognize that RMS is wrong on trying to impose his choice of names as designators of other people’s work, and also recognize that he is wrong, for pretty much the exact same reason though with more significance, to impose his choice of pronouns as designators of other people’s persons.
i don't shun regulatory oversight, i shun regulatory overreach
Theories like this are interesting because if you have a hundred of them one is probably true. It's definitely plausible even if it seems on the face unlikely. It's interesting enough that this is what I'm going to take from the story anyway so thx for putting on the hat
The truth is that even for very large companies there's always push and pull between service separation and ops burden. If you're thinking about it you're already in a better place than many.
If you feel that way, you should consider starting your own company. Freelance consulting is an easy business to run, if you don't have any more exciting ideas.
I wasn't going to jump into this thread and I don't want to turn this into "Relationship News" but, I feel like I need to let you know.

I grew up with divorced parents who were together longer than they should've been and let me tell you, kids know. They absolutely know when their parents are together but can't stand each other and what's worse, they may assume it's their fault.
I think the interesting thing here is that the EMA were publicising their updated advice at the same time as the MHRA and while it seems the MHRA + EMA agree it is a very rare side effect the UK is changing course and the EU will continue to recommend it to everyone. I'm not saying one decision is right and the other wrong but it goes to show how difficult it must be to make these calls (I'm assuming no political influence given the regulators are supposed to be independent).
If they do good work why do they need to give a shit about your product?

HAHHAHHAHHHAHAAAA come on man.
On your second point: the upcoming wave of nomads will be spurred on by companies in _their own countries_ allowing remote work. It won't be tax-dodging freelancers.

Furthermore, plenty of countries have double taxation treaties. The UK has one with Portugal, for example. My understanding is that you can work from Portugal for a UK company and pay tax only in the UK, as long as you're not a tax resident of Portugal. The 'tax resident' bit is complicated, but the point is that the UK and Portugal have agreed to it.

And I don't mean to be snarky, but when other people's free choices rile you up this much, maybe it's you that needs to start asking hard questions of yourself. A couple of your points are good, but it sounds like you're projecting your own problems onto others.

Not OC, but I guess that if you're using Bluetooth, you depend on whatever DAC they've put onto the speaker, which may or may not be good enough for your taste.
While there are some interesting points in this essay, the accusations of wrongthink it leads with are very offputting. In general, the position that some topics may not be argued is not a strong one if you want to criticise someone for their rhetoric.
>The landlord has to make the same repairs you would, and still turn a profit, at a margin likely higher than a mortgage’s interest rate.

Many (most?) rentals in my area (in Scandinavia) is not for-profit and get cheap loans to build. Just like the utility company (electricity, heat, water, fiber). You can get permission to improve and if it is good for the environment you get some of the money back if you move out.
Good article... it points out that J.A.N. Lee was appointed Program Head of the new CS program at UMassAmherst in September of 1964. And that is the same person whom the 2nd photo was from in the thread’s main article.
> I believe this is a race against time. Rationalism has to actually influence the implementation of real solutions before it becomes a parochial loyalty in its own right.

I've deliberately ceded (in my head) from “rationalism”, to try to help push that off for a little while longer.
Unfortunately you can't send SMS from Signal in the iOS version of the app. And yes, I also want to be able to send an SMS from my desktop through my phone (like android messaging or imessage).

https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007321171-Ca...

Sure, iOS doesn't allow you to intercept SMS but others have already figured out how to work around this by assigning a virtual phone number.
Consider the simple aggregate production function: Q = zF(L,K) where Q is output, z is the level of technology, known as Total Factor Productivity (TFP), L is labor, and K is capital.

Sustainable economic growth is driven by increases in z, TFP which drives the production function. Government investment in education, R&D, healthcare, and infrastructure increase TFP. There is a serious lack of gov't investment in these areas. In my opinion the share of capital (K) in the equation has grown far beyond what is healthy. Solow posits that capital attracts capital [0]. We have not done enough to offset this natural tendency, and we are seeing the result - huge and constantly growing wealth & income inequality.

The economy is growing in an unsustainable fashion. There is a serious lack of "good", sustainable investments in the global economy. One example of this is investor's willingness to pay the Swiss central bank to hold their money for them. Investors are scared - they know a serious revision in value is bound to occur.

Many parts of the EU are beginning to flirt with deflation. The top comment mentions negative prime interest rates in Sweden that have not affected the standard of living. This is very interesting given the traditional viewpoint that any form of deflation, however minor, is an economic calamity. Maybe for the central banks it is, as they lose control of one their control over the setting of short term interest which has been their prime monetary policy weapon over choice over the past 30 years.

Whatever happens, this is an interesting situation that I'm sure will inform generations to come.

What about the "yield" keyword?
The first suburbs were built around the public transportation option of the time, streetcars. It's a shame that most cities threw that away when cars appeared.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcar_suburb

Ignoring the implementation detail of the street car form, the fundamental idea of designing a suburb neighbourhood around major transit nodes, with some light commercial at the core stops makes tons of sense. Walk or bike 5-15 minutes to the transit node, get on transit, get to town. No car necessary.

Same for myself and Clojure. Better coding productivity, easy Java interop for more libraries, and the deployment story is a no-brainer.
Such is the reason that the VM per app was born :-)

Though since this was written in Unity, it would be pretty easy to detect if it were using any of the networking libraries.
It's probably because "Rust gives you absolute confidence" is a strawman, I don't think anyone was arguing that, and often people's first reaction to a strawman is to construct a contrary strawman.
I assume they always "knew" the drive was not working and the real exercise was to find why the measurements failed? Which makes this finding interesting because they can design for better experiment next time?
Is it weird? Alternatives are mentioned in HN threads all the time.

I mean you can make the comparison yourself.

I think people here will probably underestimate how common your story is in the security industry.

Just from DEFCON connections, I'm on a first name basis with a roughly four different FBI employees who are constantly trying to recruit myself or friends as informants.

We discuss, openly, what a bad deal it is to be an informant and how I don't have any useful information for them anyway. But they persist. Thankfully lightly. Nothing like what you mentioned, but I fully believe that your story happens. And regularly.

> The union will also delay the teaching of geometry to grade 9

That's when I took it as a youth and nobody in either of the school districts I went to around those years took it any earlier.

(For non-North Americans, 9th grade is 14-15yo).

(And did you mean 'board' instead of 'union'?)

EDIT: Some basic googling isn't coming up with anything about this, the closest I've found is SF high schools delaying algebra 1 until 9th grade, but with an option for kids to take both algebra 1 and geometry at the same time (or algebra 2 and geometry at the same time). Details at https://www.sfusdmath.org/high-school-pathways.html

> I'll simply send them to private schools, all kinds of camps, or tutoring schools. They will learn calculus in grade 7 or early if they are talented. They will have a bucket list of volunteering experience and so-called leadership proof in their resume. They will build their ML-powered robots or conduct their favorite chemistry/physics experiments in their private lab that I can help build, if they are interested. And in the worse case, my wife and I have no problem and plenty of time to home school my kids.

Sounds like a great way to give them one hell of a complex.

I've had co-workers who were parents of kids in the Princeton NJ school district (and adjacent districts) and from what they say it is an incredibly stressful and competitive experience. On the opposite coast, there's a reason kids in Palo Alto are killing themselves so much more than elsewhere.

Have a look at the charts showing the fees per day [1] and the network deficit [2]. On the one hand fees went up, but before the block reward dropped, on the other hand the network operated at a deficit for quite some time. One has of course to take these graphs with a grain of salt because it is quite hard to estimated the real costs of running the Bitcoin network.

But I really don't understand what you are arguing for. Once the block reward becomes mostly irrelevant you have essentially two choices - relatively expensive transactions or a weak network, i.e. low hash rate. Don't you agree with that?

Which means little according to the criteria of Times PotY. It's PotYear, not PotDecade, or Century, etc.

> That is a very simplistic view.

Not within the context of the discussion.

> What would you expect the results to be, a going back in time and not starting the war?

I think your missing the point. Zuck meets Times PotY critera more than WL or Assange. I'm not debating the value, merely which has had more impact this past year.

Feel free to debate the merits of Time's decision making process, but please do not to paint their views as mine.
In the first screen you have to click on "Options" to change this.

I like the streamlined installation process, but the options are indeed very easy to overlook.

I guess you should go with the general definition of multivariate testing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_testing) as it is used in statistics.
I'm using ActiveScaffold which is useful both for admin and the frontend (but no Rails 3 support).
I'd hope not. If we've felt the full ramifications of Assange and WL already, then Time's criteria and choice were far more correct then we realize.
Recently I wrote "...user data is scattered among many web properties..." In essence it is "data scatter" Decentralization, in my mind, implies some sort of planning on where to put data (say to prevent failure or enhance efficiency...) but I don't think users plan.
I had the same initial reaction. On further thought, I think the author understands the difference. The problem is that he's not a very good writer.

When he writes "one single space", he means what we all think of as padding in one direction or margin in one direction. I think all he's really saying is "don't create extra padding by adding margin" and "don't create extra margin by adding padding."

The argument is valid: it's just kind of obvious and poorly worded.

You do understand that even if it's made perfectly legal by the supreme court, cops will find some other excuse, valid or not, to arrest you for taking a photo/video of them.

There's zero punishment to them for abusing authority - I mean they can even shoot/kill someone and often get away with it, including receiving pay while not working or being on trial.

Citizen review boards with full authority to punish/fire cops are the only answer.
Recently my wife (born and raised in China) was on the phone with her dad. She was trying to tell him something about ticks (you know, the blood-sucking insect), but she didn't know the Chinese word.

She looked it up in the English->Chinese dictionary, and that told her what the character is. But since she was on the phone -- voice only -- she was still unable to communicate it, since seeing the character doesn't provide any help in actually saying the word. She tried to describe the strokes in the character to dad, but just couldn't get it across.

EDIT: to clarify, Chinese dictionaries don't generally (in my experience) provide pronunciation. That's because Chinese is really several completely different spoken languages (Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese, etc.), all mutually unintelligible but sharing the same writing. A given pronunciation would only address one specific local pronunciation of one specific sub-language, so it's not so useful.

Also, his complaints about not being able to figure out new words aren't really valid. Since so much of English consists of building words from roots stolen from Latin and other languages, if you know those roots, it does get you a good deal of the way toward understanding new words.
As far as I know (and I may well talk out of my arse here) special rules apply, when you sell to the US government.

It goes something like this: A supplier to a government agency most provide the same discounts that they provide to their most heavily discounted customers.

This has nothing to do with fraud or price discrimination, but with the flouting of rules you have to obey to, when you want to supply goods and services to a government agency.
Ah, but the complainers are the adults who are pretty lazy (& lousy - in relative to children of course) at learning a foreign language. The U.S. especially needs to do a better job of teaching foreign languages. But sadly, most start a second language in schools around high school and are not very good at it either.

As about the european languages argument, the comparison is mostly about vocabulary it seems. That's hardly a justifiable comparison. Sure, words may indeed be simpler in Chinese, but the sad reality is that languages are a cultural heirloom that gets guarded but yet is stolen many times. Part of the gosh-darn specialty of these languages is to strengthen the cultural ties and keep it in. In fact, you might as well compare english with scientific papers written in english...

The Catholic Church does not endorse murdering entire populations, including children, newborns and cattle. In fact, it is in no uncertain terms completely opposed to such things.

I asked you about the Catholic Church and you tell me about the Bible. You are free to argue that the Catholic Church is hypocritical and misinterpreting the Bible when they condemn murder, but that wasn't the question.

As you already have the gnuplot commands, perhaps using Julia + https://github.com/gcalderone/Gnuplot.jl might work? It's a very lightweight package, so even using it directly should be OK.

Did the PBA unilaterally decree what the contracts would be or was there a counterparty?
Unity had fantastic buy-in from the community. There were more installations of Unity 7 than there were of Gnome 3 or KDE 4 back when it was still being distributed.

If your definition of community is "people who develop desktop environments for open source software" then you're already limiting the size of your community to a few dozen or so individuals, and we had a few dozen contributors to Unity so I'm not convinced of the strength of this argument.

If your definition of community is "people who don't use Unity" then of course "everybody knows" that's trivially true. Some people also know it's a tautology.

As the article points out, the name is hardly a secret, and I suspect the important thing is that the NYT has no practice of using pseudonyms. If a writer submits a story and the editor says, "Why'd you use a pseudonym," I'm not sure the writer gets to say, "They asked for one," because then why wouldn't everyone who genuinely is newsworthy and thinks they aren't newsworthy ask for one? If the writer says, "I didn't think it was worth finding out," the editor probably ought to question if the writer has actually done enough research on what they're reporting on - especially if the editor can find the name trivially. Remember that the NYT got in very public trouble recently for telling a story that turned out be false because they trusted a subject of the story too much. And even if it wasn't for that, the NYT is regularly in the business of reporting on situations where people would love to use pseudonyms to avoid accountability.

It makes sense to me that they have a default policy/norm against it, and weren't able to justify overriding it in this particular case, especially given that the name was already public information.

To be clear, I agree that there was no need to use his name to tell the story they were telling, and I think the world would have been a better place if they were able to. But I don't think it's only attributable to malice that they did.
> * AWS has a managed Spark offering called EMR

There is also my rinky-dink open source project, Flintrock [0], that will launch open source Spark clusters on AWS for you.

It's probably not the right tool for production use (and you would be right to wonder why Flintrock exists when we have EMR [1]), but I know of several companies that have used Flintrock at one point or other in production at large scale (like, 400+ node clusters).

RethinkDNS' DoH-only (open source) stub-resolver, written in JavaScript, runs on Cloudflare Workers.

NextDNS runs unbound, a recursive-resolver, on rented servers (CoLo not cloud) worldwide, from what I gather.

If I were to deploy a public DNS recursive-resolver globally today it'd probably be on fly.io or on AWS behind its Global Accelerator product.
Here's how the research went down. First, Brochet gave 27 male and 27 female oenology students a glass of red and a glass of white wine and asked them to describe the flavor of each. The students described the white with terms like "floral," "honey," "peach," and "lemon." The red elicited descriptions of "raspberry," "cherry," "cedar," and "chicory."

I think what this study showed is that oenology try to fit the wine in front of themselves into the framework what they have been taught. You see red wine and try to fit it into this limited framework and describe it.

I think they were fooled indeed.

As a person who likes wine, I simply like to enjoy wine and not to describe it and try to figure out what that smell or taste resembles.

It's pretty bare. The thing is, anyone can build a new management library (the buffer-window tree is accessible), there are some extensions, like tabs, too, but it seems most emacsers are ok with the way things are. Things are moving a little smoother in its dev though (migration to git, windows can be sized per-pixel ...), so maybe now is the time for pushing some new ideas.
