But your comment is quite rhetorical and can be copied almost word for word as a reply to your statements as well.

Snowden's intentions are quite possibly altruistic, his actions however aren't well as white as snow (;)) you need to be really out of touch with reality to think that Russian intelligence didn't not debrief the hell out of him once he got to Russia, heck if he had sought refuge in Canada event he Mounties would have interrogated him, this isn't an opportunity any nation would ever pass.

Was he an asset? we never know, most likely not a direct one, did Russian intelligence contact him when he was in H&K and offered him a way out quite possibly.
I am bad at managing my time after work. My current job leaves me drained at the end of the day so then I chase after escapes (like gaming or Netflix).

I have a good grasp on HTML/CSS and a bit of PHP and JS, but everything else (despite taking a few C++ classes years ago) feels almost like a brick wall.

I've tried reading up on Swift and some other languages and it just hasn't clicked for me again yet.

I plan on trying and trying, because I would really like to go into either programming or web dev instead of doing support like I am now. It would pay more, be less frustrating, quieter, and more satisfying.

Maybe I'll get there eventually. Trying a few new things online (ebooks/etc regarding Python and other languages). I think it's just not a focused-enough effort from me yet.

TL;DR - I want to learn but I am standing in my own way and still working on that

The numbers may be skewed by retired people which is not absolutely clear in a lot of these data points when people casually cite them online (not saying your sources are).

Working poor is quite common in the US. With chronic unemployment where over time individuals face depression you would be better off correlating depression and low income with downward economic projections rather than free time. Rates of alcoholism and liquor sales may be closer approximations in areas where mental health figures are unreliable due to lack of availability among underserved communities (see: Native reservations, poor rural areas). Where I live, I might be the most depressed but so many do rather poorly economically but the region is consistently polled as rather high on happiness.

I wonder if that estimated cost is the COGS or the R&D? If it's the R&D, what is the cost of the second machine?
Could something like this be contained in a box, so that each of the sides has these on it?

That way instead of just working laterally, and from the bottom, things could be done from multiple angles. For example, solving a rubiks cube via machine typically involves at least three axes and servos, but with a machine like this that operated on three axes, I imagine a more power efficient method could be developed.

This is really cool technology, I love how simple it is in design, yet it evokes all kinds of ideas in the mind.

I liked the article, but there's something I need to point out regarding CSS preprocessors. It's way more important than making CSS "a bit better".

Preprocessors allow you to achieve modularity and DRYness. They allow you to move the object-composition duty from the browser to the build process - hence avoiding overloading the browser with composition (i.e. composing a class with SASS mixins or extends, instead of plugging many classes in a single HTML element). They allow you to easily express relationship through class names instead of relying on DOM hierarchy (separation of concerns). And, obviously, they allow variables! Common and centralized palettes, sizing definitions, typography definitions; also, "computable" definitions (e.g. deriving a shades/tints palettes via the built-in color management functions, or computing a typography scale from a base size).

If you have the time to learn CSS and a preprocessor adequately (and think about how to tackle common architectural issues having these characteristics in mind, isntead of borrowing solutions from e.g. OOP), then you might have clean, elegant and maintainable CSS (instead of a hairy jungle of rules that nobody in your team would want to mess with).
Depending on how he does this and the basis of the equity, this move may be an amazing tax shield, worth WAY more than it seems.

{edit} - I actually think this is exactly the strategy being applied by him and his team of tax strategists - He's using this "donation" as a tax shield and keeping the money in a foundation, which he can use to help "the underprivileged" as he pleases, instead of just paying an amazing amount of tax like Zuck did.
...well, the line between spreading the wealth and gentrification is a bit fuzzy.

I'm not convinced what's happening in SF, and starting to happen in Oakland, is actually desirable by the residence that were there before tech people showed up.

I think it's much better that Jack donates to help public schools, libraries, arts & crafts, other recreational activities in underserved communities.... without sending the gentrification catalyst into them.
Yeah I would say pawn shops and payday loan services are the biggest indicators of a neighborhood in decline. They seem like the two predatory businesses that show up just as a neighborhood is seeing people with any money leave.

This is quite true, the way companies hyper-concentrate is not really given much thought it seems. There are obviously benefits to concentration when it comes to fostering innovation but like everything I imagine there is a point of diminishing returns beyond which the benefits turn to negative.

A similar phenomenon can be seen in the DC area, all the companies are hyper-concentrated in NoVa creating a miserable commuting situation for hundreds of thousands of area residents, meanwhile a city like Baltimore a mere 40 miles away is completely ignored when it comes to locating offices.

>It's a shame it can't use all of PyPI though.

People often have this disappointment about Guix not being some sort of meta-package manager that can use any package format right off-the-shelf, which I think is caused by a misunderstanding of how the system works. Guix packages describe the precise dependency graph of any piece of software, all the way down to the C compiler's compiler. A package on PyPI, or anywhere else for that matter, does not. For example, Python eggs that build native extensions need certain shared libraries and C header files available on the system before they can be installed, but PyPI has no way of installing those things or otherwise capturing that information in a precise way.

However, us Guix devs can, and should, make it easy for users to take the metadata for a package available in another system such as PyPI and produce, to the best of our ability, a Scheme snippet that gets one most of the way to a working Guix package. We wrote the 'guix import' utility for this purpose. Right now, it can generate Scheme snippets based on packages at PyPI, CPAN, Hackage, ELPA, RubyGems, and CRAN. The user can take the output of the importer, and add the (hopefully few) missing pieces, such as the C library a Python native extension needs.

In the US I would try to figure out whatever the region's blue collar / working poor's food choices might be. Usually it's big label fast food franchises but there are locality-specific ones. In the southeast where I am, barbecue places are rather common and eaten frequently yet absent from a lot of affluent communities even though it's a traditional food that's eaten across socioeconomic barriers.

Yes and no.

The government is too bird's-eye-view to understand the details of different communities. I do think, however, the government should have some kind connection with a group of people in each state to get a status on things. And each state should have groups in different communities representing it to report up to the state-level group.

I feel like USA is already kinda designed that way, but something is making it not work... at least, it's not working for the poor.
Do you have a resource for the last point you mentioned?
Peckham was "up and coming" when I was there in 2000. Good luck with that.

Just for you:

"But how would I live without all the art galleries I never visit, my four-hour daily commute, being groped on the Tube, black snot, getting mugged for my iPhone, and my upstairs neighbour’s regular all-night dubstep sessions?"

I lived in Peckham. One night I went next door to tell my neighbour to stop playing dance music full volume at 4am. Another time I phoned the police and they would only send someone round when they had enough backup. "Good times".
Yes, and I've packaged that them that way for my own personal use, but it's really annoying to deal with because I have no idea which clients work with which revisions of the toxcore git repo. Some official alpha releases would make this much more manageable.
No she's stating that there is a long-standing convention that constituents are able to contact their MP in confidence and that this communication should be kept private to protect the constituent rather than the MP.
My shell scripting skills aren't really that good. I feel that this might be true for most front-end developers. A JS based task runner is nice for me, as a I can harness the language I use on a daily basis (as well as the community with jobs similar to mine). Maybe if I used more bash than JS I would have a different opinion.

Language preferences/fluency aside, I feel that there's much to gain from the JS "hash-based" way of expressing objects which are used as configuration objects (which can be dynamic) in task runners. I'm not aware of an easy alternative to this in shell scripting, but this is probably due to my ignorance on the subject).
Rather than evaluate every framework under the sun to try and find the one that's perfect for your specific situation and needs, I would probably focus on finding something that's widespread, well-documented, has a lot of momentum behind it, and an active community. Right now that would probably be React or Meteor.

The fried chicken stereotype exists for blacks, not non-whites. It's a popular southern food, and the origin of the stereotype goes back to the time of slavery. Chickens were one of the few animals slaves were allowed to raise on their own and the dish was easy and cheap to make.

Also, it's not that I don't like chicken or rice. It's just after a week of eating it twice a day I feel a strong need for change :).

Not a word about of each "3d pixel" is implemented, which is a shame. I guess it doesn't have to be too complicated, but there sure are a lot of them even in this early prototype/lab version. They're also bi-directional, with each pixel having position-sensing.
I often hear people talk about how you're not really getting 'free' shipping since you are paying $99. Well, yes, but, that $99 doesn't just get you free shipping. Also free music streaming, quite a few free movies/tv shows, free photo storage, free music storage.

Honestly, I think $99 is a steal for all you get considering the music streaming alone costs you more than $99 a year on Google Play or Apple Music.

But Summers isn't talking about energy as a limit..indeed, he's saying commodity prices are depressed.

P.S. A good heuristic I'd like to point out (and hard-code in any CSS newbie's brain) is that if you're relying on DOM structure (e.g. styling X if he is a descendant or sibling of Y), then you're doing it wrong. Very, very few exceptions to this. Structure (HTML) is a different concern than styling (CSS) and it might change frequently; it should have minimal impact on styling.

P.P.S. Another good notion is that CSS is truly like Tetris. Errors do pile up. If you are over-specific when defining a selector, soon you'll have to do a even-more-specific one to override it. If you are too confident and define a leaky rule (e.g. all `<p>` elements inside a given widget), soon you'll have to create code to override it.
