It’s good to be king.
Doesn't this go both ways though? I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of people that get dragged into white supremacy because they make friends with a few at the bar. Just normal chat at first with occasional "facts" about a group thrown in.
This is the kind of behavior you see in organizations where the penalty for making mistakes is overly severe, the only recourse for people is to lie and cover-up the truth at all costs. This is how projects at some companies continue despite being way behind schedule and overbudget until eventually the weight of the truth brings everything crashing down.
You have to adjust nominal returns with something, and exactly what you use is a matter of style and taste. Exactly what adjuster to use is always arbitrary.

Money supply is a lot simpler than inflation, because something like M2 is a pretty simple sum while inflation is a weighting that is a bit hard to follow the implications of (the handbook for how to calculate inflation is a bit of a doorstop, from memory).

Plus if an investment aren't even keeping a constant slice of the monetary pie an investor has good reason to be nervous about their strategy. There is a monetary firehose out there and it makes sense to get in on it.
How did Reuters lose it?
It is cheap, and it's not "available" in Europe. Soylent has more than drastically cut down my fast food expenditures/improved my overall diet.
"You cannot be an expert in every field and actually follow the evidence to make up your own conclusion (which btw does not guarantee that your interpretation of the evidence is correct)."

It's pretty easy to follow the evidence in most situations, actually. That doesn't make me an expert. That makes me a person who understands the methodology of science, logic, and statistics. You have to know precisely what your assumptions (observations) are and how to make correct conclusions from those assumptions. The only constraints are your time, your determination, and your ability to get the original research (a constraint is not "guaranteeing your interpretation is correct").

Some people are highly opinionated and don't have the understanding to match. That doesn't mean you can't have any sort of understanding as a non-expert.

"As an aspiring physicist I feel helpless every time I'm at the doctor's office. I cannot just "follow the evidence"."

Doctors aren't necessarily better trained at making inferences and recommendations. Consider their education. Some of them are very poor thinkers.
If you're really trying to say that torture is 'bad' (and not illegal -- which it sort-of is), you need to really flex some intellectual muscle and not merely just claim it.

It's a been a pretty hotly-debated issue in (politico-)philosophical circles for the past 400 years; so don't think it'll be easy.
China Pavilion at 2010 Shanghai World Expo.

It took me a couple months of using Bing to figure this out, but if you mouse over the little copyright symbol in the bottom-right of the image, it will tell you who took the picture and what it is of.
Chat works well for close friends, but now I'm middle-aged I have lots friends from school, previous jobs, etc that I still want to know and I'm interested in significant events in their lives (having kids, changing job, getting married, moving house, etc) but who I'd have nothing to say to on a regular basis. If I rely on anything that requires active participation that just means I won't talk to them. I want to passively read about their lives, and maybe comment if I feel like it. Most of the time I don't.

This is a problem that you don't really start to understand until you're getting on a bit. When you're young you usually have a close group of friends from school or college, and maybe a job or two, and your extended family, and that's pretty much it. Fast forward 25 years and there loads of people who you've met and consider people you'd like to keep in touch with but who aren't friendly enough to want in a chat app. Social networks fill that gap really neatly.
No. Procrastinating is mostly a function of whether I want to do the thing.

I think if the 3rd party summary is balanced enough and the original clearly linked in it, I'd generally prefer the non-academic version as a first intro.

Right before they are set to release a new version of the Apple TV. I wouldn't be surprised if these two things are related.
I think this thing has been around for at least 15 years. Glad to see its still being maintained and updated.
Remember this specifically calls out not using company hardware. I know a lot of people use their company laptop for their side projects and that would be a problem.
As a non-American watching U.S. culture from the outside, I generally agree that those two factors are important contributors to many problems. I would also add to hedonism and individualism the encouragement of a "just-world" myth, which comes as a corollary to the American Dream: you can achieve anything if you work hard for it—therefore, if you didn't achieve it, you didn't work hard enough.

This results in low self-worth of many people in bad circumstances, lack of compassion towards them from those who are better off, and sometimes active disdain from those who were lucky enough to climb out of poverty, as an overcompensation for their own past hardship.

Maybe read more about history. Lincoln’s Republican Party was a coalition of religious fundamentalists (abolitionists) and big business. That’s still basically the modern Republican Party. Meanwhile, FDR’s Democratic Party was recognizably the modern Democratic Party. It was a coalition of labor, immigrants, northern progressives, Black people, and agricultural southern whites. George Wallace was a committed New Dealer. During FDR’s time, the whole south was relatively poorer than Mississippi was today. They had half the GDP per capita of the Midwest. These poor southerners were democrats because they wanted New Deal government programs (so long as Black people were denied access), and were opposed to big business, who supported things like tariffs that were bad for southern farmers but good for northern industry. The New Deal coalition persisted into the 1990s with Bill Clinton, even though Democrats had dropped their opposition to civil rights in 1965.

There was a realignment that happened due to economic development in the south in the 1970s and 1980. Industrial development in the south created the prosperous suburbs similar to the ones that politicians like Reagan relied on to win traditionally Republican states like Arizona. The economies of places like Georgia became reliant on low taxes and low regulation to get business to move there. You can see this even in the Democratic Party. Southern Democrats like Mark Warner and Keisha Lance Bottom are the most pro-business in the party. Lance-Bottoms (the Democratic mayor of Atlanta) and Brian Kemp (the Republican governor of Georgia) have more in common on economic issues than either do with anti-business northern Democrats like Jenny Durkin.

Nixon and Reagan’s appeal to the south is always denounced by democrats as being akin to adopting the pre-1965 Democratic support for segregation. Of course that’s ridiculous. In Congress and as Vice President Nixon had been a leading civil rights advocate, helping get through the 1957 civil rights act. (He was a racist, but he was strongly opposed to de jure discrimination.) By the time of Reagan and Nixon, the issue landscape had changed. People weren’t arguing about segregation, they were arguing about affirmative action and racial quotas. The natural conservative position on those is going to be different than on Jim Crow.
It's getting worse. On mobile they put the "load more comments" button behind a login wall a couple of months ago (i.reddit.com still works, but has other limitations).
Python was my preferred language for many years, and I still use it for processing CSV files with low development time, but JavaScript has gotten so much better now that I prefer it overall. Python has a better ecosystem but JavaScript has a better dependency management story, so those two factors sort of wash each other out.
Well said. Also python doesn't enforce this at all. You can use camel case everywhere and have 149 columns if that's your thing. Perhaps the other kids won't play with you, but that isn't a fault of python.
I'm not any more or less excited about this from a utility point of view than I am about golang's support for embedding data in an executable.

It is pretty damn impressive, though. I'll give it that.

It's like that cat pushing a watermelon meme. This is a binary that runs on seven operating systems. Your argument is invalid.

Maybe you could set up a https->http proxy and access that to see if that solves your problem?
Just for clarity: which kind of football are you talking about?
> These conspiracy theories definitely weren't given to him by some intelligence agency or election official

Do you have a source for this comment? I'm pretty sure he heard about the allegations of fraud from actual purported witnesses who filed sworn affidavits. Those blogs that you're saying he gets the information from have hyperlinks to the documents filed by his legal team. I'm thinking the blogs got it from him, not the other way around.
I don't think that would solve a single thing.

All in all, there are much more pressing concerns facing the USA right now than the unimportant fallout from the election, although you'd never know it from turning on the news right now.

That something like this could happen was a distant possibility up to this morning, when Trump incited the crowd.

The desktops probably have a inactivity lock set up, but it seems the time is enough for people storming the building can gain access if the staff is not evacuated quickly enough.

In any case, locking the workstation when leaving it is a good reflex to develop.
This is the battle I face every day. I am a field tech at a rather large corporation, and there are so many departments in IT that no single one of them can do anything without stepping on another's shoes. I try to be a peacemaker, which has led to some improvement, but politics definitely hampers efficiency, and it's one reason I need to not work for big companies.
It may not take talent (or an abundance of it), but it does take a certain type of intelligence. Kevin Smith clearly has that. I fear that many people (including the guy who started this with a tweet) probably will never get something like this moving in the right direction.
Incorrect. Twitter has been pushing its ghastly “Home” on those who prefer “Latest Tweets” for a while.
Oh, fascinating. Was it a Supabase thing? I haven't run into that before. If you have any more details, I'd love to hear. You could comment here or email team@slowsocial.us
> To add more color to your Git output: git config --global color.ui 1

Don't do this. The default (since 1.8.4) is auto, which adds colors if the output goes to a terminal, but doesn't if the output goes somewhere else (e.g., a pipe). That is probably what you want (and already have).

I fell for this myself at some point. Somehow expecting there to be more colors, or full color support, or something like that — Nope.
Sounds like it could be a classified source considering he’s referring to contemporary war plans
End of the day, because the estimates are used to figure out what fits in a sprint, which is a unit of time, they’re time estimates. Just all in team-specific currencies that have a fuzzy exchange rate with time.
Closed source and no information about who's making it.... this is better how?
Golly.I read that article.

What a hideous person.

Who drives so fast on country roads? Very selfish people who do not care about their own lives let alone the lives of others.

What a good punishment! Much better than a fine. We should use short prison sentences much more for the sorts of crimes rich privileged reprobates like this do.

Then the winging! It seems gaol is not pleasant. Does the writer want sympathy? None from me!

I so wish the officer had impounded the car and left these two people on the side of the road. The officer did not. But still the winging!
I don't think Yelp reviews have any correlation with my own (except perhaps at the far low end). I'll go even further and say I enjoy new restaurants far less when I read reviews first. Everyone has a different deal breaker- healthiness, tastiness, wait time, location, noise, price, quantity, service, smoking, kids, cleanliness, etc. Projecting all of those attributes into a single axis is simplistic- too much is lost. The reviews are invariably a litany of every single time the restaurant fucked up with sprinkles of "pretty ok". I would prefer a better system (if not a different company).
That's not what Dropbox say:

If "traditional" cable TV is to survive they are going to have to offer a-la carte channel choice. I'd pay $5-10/month per channel for the handful of channels that carry interesting content. I refuse to pay $100/month for the 90% of channels that are pure crap.
Yes, happens to record companies and movie studios ALL THE TIME.
>25 years max for stealing billions?

1. The bitcoins were only worth ~$70 million at the time of theft. saying they stole "billions" is highly misleading

2. I don't get it, aren't we supposed to be getting less "tough on crime", especially for non-violent offenses?
Most employees have to like your company in the first place before they would ever even return your recruiter email or apply to work at your place. These people do not communicate why they rejected you.

Basically, you have the option of $250k annual liquid compensation from GoogFaceSoft and a low stress & time working environment. Vs. random startup that if it hits it big, you would make more than that amount and have more fun doing it.

Now you starting hearing stories that equity compensation isn't so great:

1. Companies take far longer to get to IPO now. You might not be able to liquidate your stock until 7+ years later. They also don't like it when you try to sell in between.

2. Companies play take back games with dilution, zynga style threats, or even just pure stock buyback options at the original / FMV strike price like Skype.

3. VCs play take back games with liquidation preferences & more.

4. There is this AMT headache that can be double or more than your strike price cost. Founders have 0 AMT, 0 strike price cost, and long term capital gains tax rates!

5. You soon realize it's %70 investors, %15 1 or 2 founders and %15 all employees on a power law! If your facebook then maybe %20 founders, %20 employees. Why become an early start up employee who works just as hard with %0.5-%0.01 when you can be a founder? Thus the 'glut' of start ups with angel rounds.

You have overpriced mortgages & rent to pay in the bay area, so money is important.
Hmm, in my case the 83(b) election would have cost me about a quarter year of salary, and the AMT I ended up owing was well over a year's worth of salary. My original grant was small relative to the pool because I was a mid-stage IC with essentially no prior experience. Perhaps for very early startups, or those growing quickly through valuation raises, the situation is different. My company only took on capital when we really ended it and it was cheap, but the C-levels were pretty consistently getting offers (so the valuation grew constantly, just not on paper).

Agree that the taxes on unrealized gains are insane, but they were intended to protect the government's income source from different problems. Tech compensation and VC has evolved dramatically since AMT was introduced.
The idea is that some new hires may be missed due to a candidate deciding the options package is too risky. If they know upfront that leaving the company doesn't force their hand, maybe the package is more attractive.
I don't really see where you're getting your opinion on me here.

The thing I found irritating was RMS constantly borrowing my phone (and having to help him use it each time...). He can have whatever opinions he wants.
You only need oxygen for metabolic activity. When you cool the brain, you can slow oxygen metabolism enormously.

It's common to go without perfusion to the brain for up to an hour during certain surgeries.
But taxes are normally paid based on the latest 409a valuation, which can be way below the preferred stock value from the latest funding round.

My impression is that companies rarely sell common stock to investors for that reason (among others). Since investors valued the preferred stock, common stock holders can ignore their massive valuation for tax purposes, and use the 409a.

If there are so many, can you list at least 5 superior options for us please.
Unless this has great, zero-issues unix support, I'll have to pass.

This actually looks promising but I wonder if I'm really the target group. While I do build custom computers every now and then i also cherish the "completeness" of the unibody design that my MBP has. I also wonder about the availability of parts...

Stuff has come a long way in a short time. I’d previously have placed them lower than The New Zealand Herald in terms of their gutter journalism but under their new leadership and local ownership they are markedly better.

I get my local news from RNZ but Stuff gets a look in nowadays - it’s quicker to pickup stories and often has more coverage. I recommend giving them a chance as they are a very different company now.

Foreign ownership of a country’s news media seems problematic and has some motivations that are questionable. I’m sure I’m not the first to think on this.

Your response seems to imply that there aren't still teams working on Solaris that can deliver large new pieces of functionality.

You also seem to be unaware that many of the "major features" you talk about in past releases were designed and implemented by people that are still working on Solaris today and sometimes in those same areas.

Also, I have no idea why you place kernel zones in quotes -- kernel zones was actually a massive project. Not a simple variation of existing zones technology. It provides true virtualisation of Solaris on Solaris with minimal overhead compared to alternatives.

Solaris has lots to show for five years of development if you understand the engineering effort required and even more is coming -- just wait until 11.3 and Solaris 12. You'll see things from Solaris you never expected. It's bit insulting to imply that bringing things like OpenStack to Solaris wasn't a significant effort. Many of these technologies are Linux-centric and required significant engineering effort from an architectural and technical perspective to provide an integrated solution.

Solaris also has interfaces and functionality that is not available in other Solaris-based distributions; especially in upcoming releases.
Just use cmder or conemu; then you'll have a great console and ssh :)
Never joined.

Facebook has too much central control.

Social networking should be based on a decentralized system of independent nodes such that no single authority owns the whole damn thing and makes everyone obey their rules, and has everyone's personal info. (And all protocols documented, and implementations open-sourced, needless to say).
You do know that is how Google makes money, rigth?

If it doesn't serve ads it doesn't release cool open source projects no self driving cars, no Anjular JS, no google maps, gmail and so on.
You're still wrong. Any exchange, due to the crazy lax regulations in the industry, can do this:

* accept 100 bitcoins for deposit, giving their previous owners "100 claims against exchange X" in return

* sell those 100 bitcoins

* the new owners of those 100 bitcoins can roll down to exchange X and deposit them and accept 100 claims against exchange X in return

* and the exchange can sell those 100 bitcoins once again

Now we've got 100 bitcoins out in the world and 200 claims against exchange X, and each of these 300 items functions identically. They're exposed to all risk of gain or loss on the market, they can be traded, sold, used to purchase stuff... with the only limitation being that not every claim against exchange X can be immediately redeemed. But as long as not every person tries to redeem their claim at the same time, there are no problems.

Exchange X has permanently [until they exit the market] increased the usable supply of bitcoins. Nothing prevents an exchange from having more than 21 million bitcoins on deposit. With large enough exchanges, the banked, usable balance of bitcoins could be 100 million coins. 100 trillion. There is no limit.
