'Our housing shortage is the principal cause of poverty, homelessness, and it helps to increase crime.'

OK, I've been homeless and I can say with some confidence that is not caused by a 'housing shortage'.

Yes, housing can be expensive but, at the lower end, there is a great deal of state-subsidy. If you are already at the lower end then you're propably already living somehwere at the expense of the sate.

The reason you end up homeless is because you make a series of bad decisons that result in you hitting the floor with a bump. The causes of this poor decision making are manyfold but shortage of housing isn't one of them.
This is tangental:

I am getting really sick of the use of the term "denier." It's become cliched to a point where it become a euphemism intended to heard people into mental boxes and obscure rather than convey meaning.

I don't have all that much sympathy for people who don't follow the normal vaccination schedule for their kids. I think it's somewhat complex though. For example, some vaccines are more for public than private health. I think it's valid to be weirded out by a strong demand that kids go through a medical procedure for the good of humanity, rather than their own health.

On one hand I think the work being done by the Gates Foundation on wiping out Polio is incredible. On the other, how much pressure is reasonable to put on parents to vaccinate their children against an illness that poses less danger to them than meteors.

In any case, "denier" has become a term that almost always diminishes nuance and meaning rather than enhancing it. It ensures an us-and-them format to a topic. It also has a real nasty connotation (in my mind) to heresy. A heretic is a denier. In the wake of last week's attacks in Paris, it sounds even worse to me.

These people may be wrong or misguided. You might disagree with their assumptions, their conclusions or even their values. But, there is no reason or utility in this nastiness. There is less chance of convincing anyone with this language. And to those of us on the opposite side of the debate, it makes us dumber to allow such mental patterns to dominate our thinking.
I agree with you that "always accurate" is an optimistic statement but I wouldn't say any level of accuracy from that note is implied. A well engineered solution would take the 5million figure as an average over a longer period of time as stated.

When I first discovered that this was how grid demand was managed, stood in a UK National Grid control centre next to my brother who was interning for them, I was amazed.
What is taste?
Might be worth looking into ASUS notebooks (for ubuntu-based distros, that is).

I run an N76 with no driver issues, and 16GB RAM. I believe there are other models that work well too.
The group that you call "liberals" is spread out across the political spectrum, from the center to the far left. Some are authoritarian, others are libertarian and even anarchist. They do not present any unified front; in fact, there's so much disagreement among "liberals" that they would never consider themselves to be a single group unless forced to choose among a very small set of labels.

I agree with the authors that homogeneity can be bad for a field, but I don't think this can be fixed by increasing the mindshare of conservatism. There are plenty of people who would pick "liberal" on a "liberal or conservative?" questionnair and still devote their lives to researching, for example, people's relationship with authority. Not personally believing it to be a matter of morality might even help the researcher become more objective.
I believe you can testify via a phone call and it takes roughly 10 minutes.
It seems like it takes most of the important interfaces, in which case I feel like it is close enough to the "Go way".
9. Because it's just a freakin calculator
Agreed, and the search input stealing focus at page load when I'm trying to use the zoom shortcut keys always gets me. (So I see a lot of "===" or "---" in the text field and have to fight it by clicking on the map, usually twice as we face off in a tug-of-war.)
Working great on Lollipop here. Prior version was crashing quite a bit.
Lots of free software is sold. I didn't say the software couldn't be sold. I didn't mean without a price. I meant without restriction and without control.

I will not work at a company that mistreats its customers. A license manager, software whose purpose is to inhibit the use of another piece of software, is an example of such abuse. Having been on the receiving end of such abuse, my condition is to not force that abuse on anyone else.
On this topic, I almost always concur with these people:

That's kinda funny, but sad that someone may be actually offended by this.
Busy talking to people, splitting work into issues, writing the issues to put on project boards, finding which project board to use, searching for which issue I'm working on, searching for which project board I put it in, updating project boards, starring at the 150 crap email filling my inbox everyday, writing filtering rules for my inbox, double checking if I didn't miss an important email, looking up unread Slack messages, following up on unanswered questions, getting up to drink some water, getting up to piss that water, taking a break to eat lunch, dropping my daughter to the daycare, picking her up from the daycare, making coffee, ordering coffee beans, reading up documentation, reading code, reviewing PRs, writing code.
I love the outrageously colourful website, with color changing popup windows and a truly gigantic CLICK HERE TO MAKE CASH FAST button and all :D

They even have merchandising (I don't think that's real, but at least they seem to have paid some models to pose with the masks, t-shirts and so on).

And of course, it includes a whitepaper (link at the bottom) to add credibility!!! I didn't click anything on this website for obvious reasons, but would be curious to know what's in that whitepaper.
because software that is provided for free cannot capture the positive externalities it creates and thus is under-supplied, it's just very straight-forward economics.

Yet it's become such a widespread sentiment to expect software for free that charging for something like Python would probably be seen as obscene and kill the language through loss of reputation alone.
God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
This is true but really shows the morality (or lack of) for companies. Profit over all is basically what it comes down to.
So in this case fork = rename.
seeing something like this without knowing how it works drives me crazy!
I can confirm about the UK. I've written timezone-sensitive code once during winter and it turned out later that it was full of subtle bugs with serious consequences.
Code should exist in comments when it's going to be uncommented shortly. This, because 1) reaching into the VCS is extra work compared to uncommenting something already present (think cache vs disk), and 2) more importantly, it is code that anyone making changes nearby should be aware of.

Code in comments may also occur as a symptom of poor VCS habits, but that's not always the case.
good point. However, I would say a vast majority of people in the UK have at least one TV in their home.
It's more like microbes eat stuff -> greenhouse gases released -> climate warms -> more permafrost melts -> microbes eat more stuff -> feedback loop which eventually melts all the permafrost and triples the atmospheric carbon -> cataclysmic and permanent disruption of global weather patterns. It's not a cycle, it's a one-way phase transition.
You seem knowledgeable in the field - I'm specifically looking to apply NFT tech to pop-sci publishing and debate, do you know of a group working on that or something adjacent?
Your performance is excellent otherwise! Nice site :)
The old man should rather move to Russia or China. There his pleads for censorship might be heard.
what are you talking about? ARM is every where used by all the tech companies.

ARM is on mobile, data center and desktop/laptop.
I really liked Read-Eval-Print-Loop, I hope he goes on to publish a few issues in 2015.
“We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol,” said Mr. Trump. “We’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

From https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-tells-rioters-i-know-how-...

I'm going to presume the WSJ did their work properly and you can watch him say those words in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X0KIYInLHc - that's a 70 minute long speech claiming (not in the exact words) "we have been defrauded!" and then saying those words. Make a less-than-intelligent, not-shy-to-use-violence (should I cite the demographics of Trump voters for you?), crowd mad and then tell them "We're going to go there and give them a piece of our mind.", geez, what do you expect was going to happen?

No, he never uttered "I want you to go there and beat up the cops with anything you find, break the windows, vandalize the building, and terrorize those lawmakers so they put me back into power.", he's smart enough to never explicitly say things that will get him in trouble, just like the 11780 phone call or asking Comey to back off from Michael Flynn.
So to avoid confusion: there's two sources of "payment information" that might get confused with Apple. There's Apple Pay (which has no WhatsApp equivalent AFAIK) and Apple Cash (which is the equivalent of WhatsApp Pay).

When using Apple Pay, Apple obviously stores your payment methods and for some cards, the Wallet app stores your transaction history. However, the Apple privacy policy for Apple Pay says they only use anonymized transaction history for their analytics.

But there is also Apple Cash. Apple Cash's privacy policy says that they do collect non-anonymized information on your transactions (and communication history from messages, email, and calls!), but they promise to only use it if they deem it necessary [1]. Take that as you will.

>To assist Apple Payments Inc. in preventing fraud when you are using Apple Cash to send, request, and receive money, Apple Inc. may provide it with approximate use patterns from your device about how frequently you communicate with that person by phone, email, or in Messages. No content of your communication is collected. This information is stored for a limited time, and in such a way that it is not linked to you unless the transaction with which it is associated is determined to require further analysis due to suspicious activity.

Again, I do trust Apple more than I trust FB to only use it when necessary... but they are still collecting it.

I don't find the "truth" you mention obvious at all. I think it's just a fairy story simplification based largely on fiction (written and visual).

Over the last couple of thousand years (or more, but history gets a bit fuzzy beyond that), lots of nations have had leaders at many different times who were not the best fighters.

Your claim wasn't that a majority of people had no chance of winning a fair fight against enforcers, which is obviously true. You made a much more broad claim about how historically certain physical attributes would put particular kinds of people in positions of power, and about how that has changed.

I think this is likely misleading and inaccurate. Yes, those with power have always used force to enforce their wishes, but that's very different from saying that those in power are themselves of a certain physical type.
I don’t think it’s irrelevant. Keeping it off Reddit means that less gullible teenagers (which are a large percentage of Reddit’s user user base) will come into contact with it.

Is "cancel culture" defined as being anti-Nazi or something? "Cancelling" is absolutely an expression of free speech.
There is not enough people in the world to moderate social media.
Yes, that is true. I work in a factory who makes (mechanic) car parts. For example, if we buy a new machine, we have to send some pieces to the car company and they do some tests again. If think it is more, because who will pay the recall of all cars, if the new part is not in spec.
Theory seems to predict practice well, in this case.

Yes, there are meaningful differences. The differences behave just as game theory would predict, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. If you want 2nd amendment, vote Republican. If you want to control guns, vote Democrat.

You may be right that an individual politician might not flip on a stance because of those dynamics. Some optimize to dynamics and do flip and flop. Others happen to fit the current Nash equilibrium, and will generally eventually lose a primary or a general election once the equilibrium changes, and one with the aligned view will move in. It's a super-competitive system. The result is the same in the end.

But in terms of effort, given you're exhausted, perhaps I'll let you search for that when you have more mental capacity.

Good starting point is "Rules for Rulers," a short video on Youtube. But there's a lot of robust academic work behind it.
Good job. You cherry picked three lawsuits. Here's all 54. [0]

Oh, and by the way, if a judge dismisses a case on procedural, jurisdictional or standing and then goes on to provide an opinion of the claims/evidence presented in a complaint -- it doesn't mean that the adjudication was based upon the merits of the case. So the claim that most of the dismissed cases were for procedural, jurisdictional or standing reasons still stands. A judge is required to evaluate the evidence in a light most favorable to the plaintiff. Most of these cases didn't get that far.

Agh, I redact my previous comment. Angles is right.
Wired have the cheek to ask you to turn off your ad blocker 'to fund their journalism' too!
> Why were they using company resources for personal meetings?

So that coworkers don't schedule you for meetings during your doctor appointments.
Do you have a reference somewhere that backs up your assertions, where I can read more on this topic? I'm super curious about it.
And here are UWP Apps. They are based on a vNext edition of COM and use language projections to enable a OO-style usage in C#, JavaScript, C++. Actually works. In the end you work in the languages with these objects like any other object in that language.

It is possible, just require major engineering smartness (like writing and improving compilers, code generation, etc).
It's ludicrously expensive (I think I paid $3,000 for six sessions), but I've done a round at a local IV ketamine infusion center here in Chicago to great effect.

More appropriate example then. You can add Perot to that pile as well.
As far as I understand, a string defined as const char * can be treated as immutable. Casting away a const qualifier and then modifying the referenced value is undefined behavior.
Android, Google chrome, also have the resolver problem.
Hollywood Blacklists during the Red Scare were a backstage reputation system that kept people from being employable in an industry. There was nothing officially government driven about those blacklists. Lots of it was nod and wink and soft coercion. Merely associating with the "wrong" people was enough to get you blacklisted.
Do you have a source for Canada? Afaik that is not allowed
"Terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, carrying out or deliberately acting as an accomplice to sexual assault" falls under moralism and cancel culture?

We've seen things that fester online that lead to real life tragedies or to the damaging of the fabric of democracy itself. Including insurrection on the US Capitol which took its roots on Twitter.

There's a spectrum between "cancel culture is bad" vs. "let domestic terrorists and CP sharers gather". And I don't think there's a slippery slope concern. Twitch already bans people for unexplained reasons anyways.
I was having this exact conversation with a friend the other day. To engage in any form of (even remotely) political discourse on the internet is to step into a landmine once you consider the 20-year horizon. People are now being fired for things they said as teenagers [1], and while I am all for anti-racism and inclusiveness, have we forgotten that people grow and change with time? That we are products of our society and those societies often imbibe us with some blind spots that we later come to recognize?

The only way I can see out of this displaced and performative moralism is to not attach your name to anything that could be considered even remotely problematic in the future.

>"Less than 20% is a soft slap in the face in many places."

Wow, that's a bit sensational. Using LA/NYC as a point of reference, tipping is basically a spectrum. For drinks in a bar the minimum tip is a dollar and two is a good tip. For a taxi driver 15% is acceptable for average service and 20% would be for good service. For dining out 15% is perfectly adequate for just average service and 20% and above for good service. Counter tipping is it's own special thing but generally stuffing a dollar in the tip is jar is acceptable.
The Apple example was proven to be inaccurate. The loss of access to email wasn't due to him not paying his Apple Card; it was for not paying for his iCloud services. In other words, his shutoff could have happened if he had his iCloud account set up to charge to any other credit card.
I find it strange that you bundle your currency ecosystem into a product that is widely used in the US and you haven't ironed out how to sell it directly to them. Also, it's a strange choice geoblocking the traffic rather than serving a static lander explaining the issues. This entire situation is rife with strange choices.

I see risk exposure increasing greatly across the board, for Signal operations, users, and everyone involved from your side due to this merging of services.
This code snippet really made my night. I never thought of using constexpr to write a FizzBuzz that compiles to one of the most "optimal" solutions that I have ever seen. Awesome!
It really is astonishing how lacking the Parental Controls are on iOS.
Apple is an incredibly mercurial company that sometimes gets too busy telling you what to do that they can't execute small things.

Look at poor iMovie, which has had most useful features stripped by this point. Or Pages, which actually broke file compatibility with little or no benefit. Or the situation with Wifi, which is a fuckup of monumental proportion.
> The main tenet of this blog post is that you should argue for your compensation based on the amount of value you add to the company.

The truth is that your employer doesn't consider your value as a major part of their compensation offer, they consider what would happen if you didn't exist. Is there or isn't there an endless ocean of other candidates who could more or less do what you do and do it for what they're willing to pay you and no what you're demanding?

In case you aren't sure what the answer is, there is.
Here's a link to one key article:
http://www.asbpe.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Toyota-Cover...

In Japan, some journalists know, but media organizations won't publish the story.

I am the translator.
I've read enough comments about "We already knew that blah blah blah ...", "What's interesting is that blah blah blah ...". Seems that you guys get used to the reality so fast, the only thing you can do is trying to dig into some detail about this kind of news and to avoid the discussing about whether this kind of things is RIGHT or WRONG from the beginning!

I'm planing to watch POI for the second time, may your god bless you American, and may there be a real-hero like Reese or Carter.

But we all know that most people are just as normal as Lionel, they don't have the courage to face the problem alone. So let's just wait for your bright future. LOL
In addition to your point, being able to use, for example, Wireshark to debug HTTP communications is often handy. HTTPS makes that challenging.

But specifically about your point, when one audits an HTTP/1.0 client, should one also audit the TCP/IP stack in the kernel? I don't think most researchers/engineers would, and would (for sake of practicality) instead trust the underlying systems. Eventually, TLS will be thrown into that "underlying systems" bin. That time is not likely at hand; there are still too many shortcomings of TLS and its surrounding infrastructure. As evidenced at least by the OP. But when the time does come, writing an HTTPS client in a weekend will be just as practical, since you'll trust the software libraries/kernel to handle TLS. Just as you trust your libraries/kernel to handle TCP/IP today.
The same kind of people who already enroll in any other kind of drug trial. "Who would volunteer for that study" doesn't make much sense of a question considering people are willing to do phase 0 studies of new drugs which are theoretically far more dangerous.
Great! Lets talk about that then. Why do you think they take an us vs them approach and how can society address it?

I also believe in remote, but it's not like remote is 100% effective for all teams, and with all kinds of leadership.

Remote work at scale is relatively new, and it will be evolving - you don't know the direction: good, or bad.
I think we all in Europe are in a similar situation (based in comments of friends of different countries), so it seems to me that is not because the internal organization of delivering / injecting the vaccine but the production of it.

The production is going very slow, and therefore the rollout it's super slow...
Sounds like you're exactly like me -- if so, then probably nothing will work. You're options are: 1) Be out of sync with everyone else, or 2) Feel half dead throughout the day.

I stumbled across an illuminating graph on the trends page of my Google Web History: http://imgur.com/Or18c

I've got that 3 am to noon gap, just like the OP describes. I used to think I was on a 25+ hour cycle, but now I'm thinking I just generally like to go to sleep late. If something grabs my attention and I end up staying awake a few hours later than usual, the sun comes up and that makes it harder to go to sleep... thus leading to what seems like a > 24 hour sleep/wake cycle.

Exposure to sunlight seems to help somewhat.

Maybe consulting a professional would be a good idea. Prescription drugs. I never cared enough to go that far.
