> Did Bruce Jenner win gold medals, or did Caitlyn Jenner win them?

Same person, different name, mu. The menu is not the meal, the map is not the territory, the name is not the person.

> are we deadnaming when referring to actual events that took place while Bruce Jenner was competing in the Olympics?

You just deadnamed Caitlyn Jenner in that question. Compare with "are we deadnaming when referring to actual events that took place while Caitlyn Jenner was competing in the Olympics under the name Bruce?"

In any event the answer is yes, if you're calling Caitlyn Bruce, but no if you're describing events that happened in the past.

I.e. Elliot Page will be starring in the upcoming season three of Umbrella Academy, I'm eager to see how the show will handle his character now that he's no longer Ellen Page.
The big feature here is Caldav support.

Calendly only works with Google and Microsoft - no planned support for any Caldav services like fastmail.

Fantastical makes a great calendar app with rock-solid support for virtually any calendar service. I hope this pushes Calendly to reconsider caldav support.

I should note Harmonizely has tried to step into this niche and may be very successful but I found the app to not have a stellar UX and a lot of calendar invites never made their way back to my inbox which completely defeats a calendar scheduling app in the first place.
As a crypto unbeliever I hate this too. Legal enforcement legitimizes crypto as property. It expands the definition of property by institutionally conferring the status of "owned" to a functional configuration of bits distributed over thousands of computers. Do we have this concept for other things? yes. But I'd rather like to contract the space of property rather than expand it.
8 hour work day is an INDUSTRIALIZED style of working, doesn't apply anymore in many areas, like conditions necessary for making software.
like, "cd $TEMP;"?
find / -maxdepth 3 -perm -7 -type d -print

and tweak as needed.
I guess it comes down to personal preference but I've always thought Firebug beats Elements and Resources in Chrome. It is much faster to filter with tabs than digging through a tree IMO.
Job of a Summer Analyst:

1. Excel work. Valuing companies or modeling a merger or acquisition or financing. Sometimes it goes beyond this, but that’s the bread and butter of what you do in Excel.

2. Writing (PowerPoint or Word). For pitches you’ll write slides on industry trends, executive summaries and explanations of your analysis… for deals you will create marketing documents that “sell” your client in Word or PowerPoint.

3. Research. This can be finding reports for senior bankers, doing industry research, or Googling for hours on end trying to find the adoption rate of cell phones in a southern province of Kazakhstan.

4. Administrative Tasks. I hope you like scheduling meetings, taking notes, and sending out status updates to your team, because you’ll be doing a lot of that.
What I don't understand is that these phones don't seem to be aimed at inmates. As other people have pointed out small phones have been around for a while, their size hasn't proved useful to smugglers. Furthermore the particular phones under attack here a designed to look like a car key. Which if I imagine is just as contraband as a phone is.

Seems like the government is attacking these phones under false pretences, which is what really worries me here.
Interesting idea, but that wouldn't work, the authorities wouldn't let the drones close enough to the prisons.

Oh and the drones I have seen available can't handle enough weight to lift much of anything.
No, I'm saying that the people who decide that things should be and/or remain classified will say that it's for operational reasons. WWII was definitely an operation, although it's a long time ago, and it's hard to imagine what might still be relevant to keep classified. If an intelligence organisation procures a CRM for keeping track of operations, and the public tender document says that it must be able to handle 250 operations a month, then they've leaked some potentially sensitive information.

The definition certainly appears to be applied too broadly, but you're not going to achieve less secrecy by limiting secrecy to "operations".
I think this is very true. A lot of software engineers are very smart technically but are not good at designing products or understanding user experience. Everything is just 1s and 0s to them and rigid. I think the metaphor of a mural is a good one.
The re-imaging and re-training likely would've been incurred by an upgrade to a new version of office, so those may not actually be differentiators.

In my experience, the main cost to adopting F/OSS for office software is interoperability with people sending word and excel files, not support or training.

Note, LibreOffice is available in the native language of the users, Valencian, and has spell-check dictionaries for that language. Presumably, the Valencian government puts out most communication in Valencian, so there may actually be savings in not having to develop and maintain their own Valencian dictionary for Office, which Microsoft does not provide, and reduced support as the interface uses terms more familiar to the native Valencian speakers.
>Surprising to see this (not at all uncommon with OSS folks) preference for "group o' dudes" over "group o' dudes with enough money not to need to take day jobs and a tangible motivation to work hard on this particular product."

From the other side it is a "group o' dudes who freely share" becoming a "group o' dudes who allow a little bit of access but otherwise don't share". If you are big believer in sharing then it is sad they don't want to share anymore.
You da real documentation mvp. Thank's, I've tried playing this in the past, but got lost on how the controls work.
It's very configurable. I let BOINC go to town for up to an hour whenever I leave my computer alone, then the computer can go to sleep. It's not running continuously but the progress adds up steadily over time.
The US always lags on a major crisis and then surges over time. It happens in every instance. It's because of the scale and nature of Federal -> State -> Local as a system, mixed with human rights and democracy (no authoritarian switch to throw, so to speak). The US has to put a lot of things in motion to mobilize at all levels and it's extraordinarily expensive, so you don't want to do it unless you must.

As recently as mid January the WHO was still repeating Chinese propaganda about the virus not being transmitted from person to person (China had known at that point for at least 30-45 days that that was a lie, they were trying to keep the world from isolating them and hammering their economy, hoping they could stop it quickly).

Trump's delays cost the US three to four weeks of additional prep time. From the first week of February (closer to when the US should have began to prepare nationally), versus the end of Feb / first week of March. It was also entirely unclear how infectious it was and what the mortality rate was likely to be, until well into February.
I absolutely cannot volunteer in a hospital. Cystic fibrosis puts me in a high risk category. That's like asking me to intentionally become the Typhoid Mary of covid19.
Yes, that's a perfectly good reason. What I was asking about is people's general attitude toward wearing masks, when shortage of the supply is not in the equation.
Does this mean users who lost everything on bitfinex will be contacted and could possibly recover their coins? Can you imagine waking up to realize you are rich because the feds seized the coins and are returning to you.
One thing worth mentioning is that the `git blame` ignore file trick doesn't work as well with ssort as it does with black because the changes ssort makes tend to be much less local.
For Canadians - they've got no issue with almost all of our cards. It's just the American ones that run into issues, so your chip & pin and tap features will work splendidly abroad.
Looks very promising! New widgets looks awesome <3
Congrats on the launch folks!
And the worse thing is that you have lots of steps to take in order to use/scan both: read the NFC or scan the QR
Character codes predate computers. CR and LF codes date to 1901.
Don't all convenience stores put up a small handwritten sign that says "Minimum Purchase Amount for Credit/Debit Transactions: $<whatever they need you to spend to offset the cost>
Sure. Let's start with dealers. A dealer is a party that stands ready to buy or sell something (in this case bitcoins). When you want to transact, you ring up the dealer and ask for a quote. The quote is composed of a price at which the dealer will buy bitcoins and a price at which the dealer will sell bitcoins. If you like the price, you do the deal. So throughout the day, the dealer is constantly buying and selling. The difference between the buy and sell price gives the dealer his profit. If a dealer decides he is building up too much inventory, he may, for example, lower his bid price (widening out the spread) so that fewer parties will be interested in selling to him. That's the basic idea of a dealer.

Now exchanges. The idea with an exchange is to match up a plurality of buyers and sellers. Exchange participants can send in orders to buy or sell a specific quantity at a given price (these are called limit orders). These orders are all combined and sorted by price into a limit order book. If you look around at some of the bitcoin exchange sites most of them will show you the state of the book†. When you look at a quote at an exchange you are really looking at the highest priced buy order (or the aggregate of all orders at that price) and the lowest price sell order. When market participants wish to transact immediately, they can send in a marketable order, meaning that buyers will pay the best offered price or sellers will pay the best bid price. Marketable orders "cross the spread". The exchange is responsible for updating the book and distributing it to market participants, but the exchange itself doesn't do any buying or selling. Exchanges take a percentage fee of each transaction which is the source of an exchange's profits.

Let's say I'm a bitcoin miner. My mining machinery creates bitcoins out of electricity but I still need dollars to pay the utility bill. This makes me a natural seller of bitcoins. When I go to sell my bitcoins, I want to get the best price for them. I might post a limit order to sell at what I think is a reasonable price on an exchange and wait for my order to get hit. I might also look at the lowest offer price and decide to post my bitcoins for sale at a penny less in order to increase the probability of getting my order filled quickly. This kind of limit order trading is only available at an exchange. If I could only transact with a dealer, I'd have to either cross the spread and accept the dealer's bid or not do a deal at all.

Secure XMPP communications just run over SSL, yeah? There was a report last year that XMPP software often configures SSL really badly. It's been said that NSA largely takes advantage of implementation bugs, not mathematical breakthroughs; the XMPP ecosystem sure gives them the opportunity.

They might have wanted to use 'wsad' for movement rather than arrow keys.
yes and I'm racist when I point out someone is being racist.

I'm also a troll when I point out someone is trolling.

do you know how I turn female? By pointing out that someone is female.

It's amazing how making an observation suddenly means you've become the thing you're observing.

Or not, but who am I to judge, amirite?
Sadly the universe isn't fair.

Nobody gives a shit about security, but yeah it should be illegal to sit on the information more than 48 hours. If you can't determine the complete and full extend of the damage before that you need to be out of business.
There was a fundamental change in Hollywood in the late 60 early 70s, when a new generation of filmmakers came up through indie cinema and the studios. Those filmmakers changed the technique, style, and values of the studio system pretty dramatically. Many of those changes persist until today.

Also in the mid 70s, you had the rise of the modern high-concept blockbuster, with films such as JAWS and STAR WARS. Not to mention the advent of the modern superhero movie with SUPERMAN. Those changes have definitely held on until today, and shape not just the content, but also the form of much of modern movies.

There really was a qualitative change in movies around 1970, so it's not unusual if someone can relate more to movies from that point onward.

See:

and

Interesting. IIUC, what you're implying is that defining a metric defines the topology and they're equivalent.

Isn't p_ij in t-SNE also derived from the distances themselves, where p_ij ~ student_t(d_ij, degrees_of_freedom) (I forget how the d.o.f. is actually computed in t-SNE.)

Which leads me to one way this distance based approach might be limited: It models similarities using distances, which are symmetric. If similarities aren't symmetric, then this visualisation could hide some information. For example: The specific entity "BMW car" is more similar to the more general entity "car" than the entity "car" is to "BMW car." It seems this asymmetry could capture things (such as the generality of concepts), not reflected in metric spaces (on first thought).
I'm curious what your team experience was with Lua.

IIRC, Lua is even more liberal than Python in that if you mistype a variable name, it will silently give you 'nil' rather than throwing an exception.

Also, the prototype system is a little wonky. It seems overly flexible and makes you do too much work yourself, which would make it hard on a large team all getting started at once.

If Torch gets popular I wonder if something like TypeScript or Facebook's own Flow would start to make sense.

Climate change is a huge problem. The deniers and skeptics make it difficult for real scientists to study the problem and make rational recommendations to the governments and public.
While it depends year to year, the flu averages out to about 10k deaths each year in the US and that's with vaccination.

We're all pretty used to it so it doesn't seem like a big deal but it's actually very dangerous.
Objectification literally means treating a person like a thing. An example of objectification would be a "damsel-in-distress" character with no personality of her own, that exists only as a "reward" for the hero after his struggles. The characters in these comics are not objectified, they are sexualized. They are designed to be sexually attractive, often sporting revealing outfits and exaggerated proportions, but they are still characters with their own personalities, motives, agency, strengths, weaknesses, struggles, and stories. The conflation of the two is absolutely a neo-puritan problem.

If you have problems with your elementary school aged kids seeing sexualized images of women, maybe you shouldn't be buying them comic books about Batman beating criminals into pulps either.
Forgot to mention - freelancing has only been going on for a couple of years. I've had multiple full time jobs in the past, a couple of them for years on end. This isn't my first attempt at getting a job, but its the first in several years.
Why is it insanity? You are implying that the companies are adding no value to the discussion by chiming on the topic. Shouldn't the entities most impacted by the change be listened to when it comes to decide on policy?

You can certainly make a case that you need to adjust for their self-interest, but ignoring them completely is even more questionable than taking their statements at face value.
>> Electric motors and speakers are basically the same things. Speakers are optimized to be more efficient at producing sound, motors are optimized to be more efficient at moving things, but at the core, they're the same device.

Not only that, you can superimpose audio on the intended operation of the motor by putting the signal on the "D axis" which produces no torque. Unless you're in field weakening blah blah blah... But only higher frequencies are typically possible.
> How is justice served if these networks can’t be rolled up due to full disk encryption

they can be. it just takes more law enforcement effort. they want their jobs to be as easy as possible, even at the expense of civil liberty.
You need a majority market share to extinguish something. Edge has 2%.
I'd be interested in other resources for this too. The best I can think of is Udacity's Web Performance Optimization class[0]. It's by Ilya Grigorik, chair of the W3C Web Performance working group.

Other than that there are some older docs for the Blink engine which drives Chromium. It's much more low level and hard to follow though[1][2].

The Navigation Timing spec is good for building an understanding of the major events that go into a page loading and creating HTML elements[3]. It's not the whole picture but gives the timings for navigation and DOM element events.

It's presented too dramatically IMO, but the core argument is one we need to raise awareness of: you use energy and emit carbon so a company can run code that in part grooms you into being a better consumer of their products.

Brick and Mortar stores do this too. Some ways are fun and nice like air conditioning and wine while browsing. Others not so much: facial recognition at Target's nationwide, and companies like ShopperTrak and others.

No matter if it's online or in person it's getting increasingly creepy. Any awareness of it a net positive, even if it is a tad dramatic.
Restating the text is unhelpful and is an uncharacteristically thoughtless HN post. My lack of context was a missing distinction of the population boundaries. The population, when talking about extinction, is ubiquitously within the entirety of the species' home...not just some random patch. The headline is clickbait and the article is misleading, at best.
When I hit <enter> in a URL bar, or click on a link to a webpage, or fill out a form on the web, I know that I'm sending a request to a server. That's why I'm taking that action in the first place. But if you send me a program in a webpage to collect data about me, I'm not trying to send you that data, you're doing it behind my back.

You can still certainly be a jerk with data you collect in your server logs. (For example, I'd be pretty angry if you sold your log data to google or some other advertiser.) But your server is your computer, and the data in server logs is the data making up the HTTP requests that were explicitly sent to your server. That's your data, not mine.

Tipping is expected no matter what in the US. There is no incentive to do better here either.
What sets scribble apart are:

* That it's a full programming language, unlike systems like Markdown, or Sphinx, or JavaDoc, or other similar systems. But it also doesn't sacrifice being easy to write, the way that text is easy to write.

* That is works properly with binding. If you're documenting a function, you want to document the correct one -- that's handled with binding, the same way it works when programming. When you're writing an example, the same should be true -- again, handled with binding in Scribble. This works for _programs_, not just identifiers, which is what it looks like Sphinx does. That's why, for example, every single identifier in the examples on http://racket-lang.org is hyperlinked to its documentation. If you go to http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html , the examples aren't hyperlinked at all.
I was watching a part and yes. You're making a joke but this (plus that it wasn't for competition points; there was no point to winning) was clearly affecting the race and reduced my enjoyment because they just weren't always giving it their all.
For some reason I find that my body doesn't seem to want to breathe in on its own. Like, I can't determine a comfortable point (and I've paid a lot of attention to this over my years in meditation) where my body seems to "take over" from my conscious control and decide to breathe in comfortably on its own. I've found that I hold my lungs empty for longer than is comfortable, to the point where breathing in causes a noticeable rise in heart rate. I'm mildly asthmatic, I'm sure that has something to do with it.
I like it, because it's consistent. If you remove or add a parameter to a function, you have parenthesis either way and don't have to think about it.
Could someone tell me why this idea wouldn't work?:

Your credit card comes with a simple communication port (usb, bluetooth, whatever) and a two line B&W text LCD display (like on cryptocards or cheap electronic watches). Every time you want to buy something, you connect the card with the merchant. (This works in person and over the internet.) The merchants sends the card an official merchant name ("Delta Airlines"), which is registered with the credit card company, and a price ("$234"). These appear on the first and second lines of the card readout. If you approve the charge, you hit a single button on your credit card. Your credit card then sends an authorization code to the merchant which is good only one time, on that date, for that price, and with that merchants (using some sort of RSA hash).

If a wireless connection is used, there is little risk of criminals trying to secretly communicate with your card sitting in your wallet; you simply won't approve the transaction (unless they have physical control of your card, at which point you're no more vulnerable than you are now).

Further, you'd know exactly how the name of the merchant would appear on your bank statement.

The only downside I can think of is that the card would by slightly thicker (like a crypto card), slightly less durable, and need a battery (which would last for the life of the card). But we already replace the physical card every few years, so is this a problem? Is the technology particularly expensive?
For CSS, I've recommended "Learning Web Design" by Jennifer Niederst Robbins to several people. It's a bit out of date now (doesn't cover HTML5 and CSS3) but you shouldn't be learning the latest additions before you have a solid grasp of the basics anyway.

I've been unable to find a good introductory Photoshop book.

Everybody is worried about bitcoin being a bubble, constantly.
The most renegade of the lot could be Libya and Iraq, the two that have actually been attacked. Kenneth Schortgen Jr, writing on Examiner.com, noted that "[s]ix months before the US moved into Iraq to take down Saddam Hussein, the oil nation had made the move to accept euros instead of dollars for oil, and this became a threat to the global dominance of the dollar as the reserve currency, and its dominion as the petrodollar."
