>and while your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros

That's nowhere close to reality.

Firstly, an "immigrant" will not get anything. They will get deported if they're not deemed a refugee. Most asylum seekers actually don't get asylum.

Secondly, if they end up getting refugee status/asylum, then they will receive about 300-400 euros a month (that's somewhere between 330 to 440 USD a month for the international crowd in here).

Yup, makes total sense. Let your kids eat a bug or two, play in the dirt, sneeze on each other.

Unless your child is Bubble Boy, there's no need for OCD antiseptic cleanliness.
> you'd style it via single class such as .my-block__my-box, instead of the traditional nesting approach .my-block .my-box)

What you basically accomplished here is to transfer the problem of complexity from one domain (CSS) to another (HTML) not solving it.

Even if Sass provides a visual way to emulate hierarchy by using the & operator and breaking up the name at the significant points for instance:

.myblock
&-mybox
color: black

It would be still a mess on the HTML side and there isn't really an equivalent workaround for it with tools like Jade or others.

In the end, if the penalty of using a shallow nesting architecture is to increase the specificity score by 1-2 points, I'm willing to take it in exchange of a more readable and maintainable codebase whether in CSS or HTML domain.

It's extremely reliable if you have something like Sonarr/Sickbeard constantly running (checking rss feeds every 15min or so). A lot of stuff gets DMCA'd be there is a still a ton of content there, it's by no means dried up or dead. Sonarr/Sickrage can use torrents and usenet though so it can fallback to torrents (or use them primarily if you desire).
It may not be malicious, but its definitely a botnet, especially given most botnets tend to use IRC for command and control.
Here's a key phrase from the abstract that suggests more than hindsight bias is involved in the report:

The Fukushima accident was preventable, if international best practices and standards had been followed, if there had been international reviews, and had common sense prevailed in the interpretation of pre-existing geological and hydrodynamic findings.

Another one:

So there is sense in which they are pretty strongly pointing at regulatory failure.

Being a meekly frustrated warrior like many modern men, I sometimes imagine the process of putting a suit on in the morning as akin to donning chain mail and plate armor before a battle. Certainly it helps me get in the right frame of mind for the day, and when I get home the kids know I'll need to swap it for 'play clothes' before I'll roll around on the floor with them. I've worn a suit everywhere I've worked, even in casual companies on client-free days. It helps to enforce a separation between work and home which is, for me, a critical part of work/life balance.

Edited to add: you've already noticed the positive attention it's got you from senior management. This will only continue. And, until you can afford the real thing, I can wholeheartedly recommend having custom suits made by one of the visiting Hong Kong tailors which stop through every major city. They're inexpensive and the fit will be significantly better than off-the-peg. They won't last years but you'll get to pick every detail, and you can have a lot of fun with lining fabrics if you're not in consulting or law.

That was a description of how Windows handles this. Basically, the current selection and those capabilities are part of the console host. Your application running in a console window has (to my knowledge) no idea of those features; it cannot tell whether there is a selection or not or what to do with it because they happen transparently a layer above your application (between your application and the window manager, essentially).

So the question you're asking is a bit moot, in a way, considering that the answer is yes, because that's exactly the way it is. It cannot be any other way, as far as I can see.

I find it fascinating, using Christianity to justify paying people less. The exact opposite of charity and compassion and generosity.

> It also puts an immense value on getting the job (possibly by deception or by getting rid of the incumbent in some way), and then staying at that job at all cost. The risk-aversion will be through the roof. There will be absolutely no back-talking. The managers will never be challenged, no matter what they do, by their underlings. Morale and the working conditions will deteriorate as a consequence, with negative effect on the bottom line.

Anyways, I know that my risk-aversion has gone way down as my pay has gone up. Why? Because I'm smart with my money and have more than enough stored away to make it years (literally) without needing a job. I can be an opinionated employee. Of course, my risk-aversion also went down when I was grossly underpaid. Why? Because I didn't give a shit, they weren't paying me what I was worth and I was actively looking for a way out. Being opinionated and effective was the only way to get noticed in a way that might increase my pay at the company. When was I not risk-averse? Precisely when I was making "market wages". I was making enough that I was totally content in that I could afford my lifestyle, but not enough that I could really save enough to get the FU money.

Think about the conditions our ancestors dealt with.

"Stress" meant a broken bone, a fever, or a predator (if you go back far enough) could all be the source of life-changing (or ending) events.

We've evolved to adapt to harsh conditions and conditions have never been this good for a significant portion of the global population (especially for those of us reading Hacker News).

> Genuine meritocracy would ideally see women in positions roughly commensurate to their percentage of the population

i.e. meritocracy means having people in positions based on their incidence in the general population... not on their merits.

Are you sure you understand the meaning of the word "meritocracy" ?

> a lot of those earlier factors that push far too many women away from math, science, and technology while they're still just developing children

Because women have different interests from men? I can easily name 10 male friends who obsessed about science and technology starting from 12 years old. 30 years later, they're all in computers making good money. I can think of maybe 2 female friends who came close. And even they didn't have the same level of obsession as the guys.

> I don't think most feminists have an issue with meritocracies as ideals:

If a meritocracy means hiring people on their incidence in the general population (not on their merits), then yes, that statement is true.

> Their brains aren't "different,"

Yes, they are.

> your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros

I don't know where you got that number, but it's wrong. A 5-person asylum family might get that much (depends on age of kids) if they don't get anything as materials and there is no reason to deduct anything. (Giving things vs money is debated a lot, currently it is swaying back to handing out things and less money)
Pretty sure this is not the case. AFAIK GMO products hasn't been available here until recently and I know grown up people with peanut allergy.

I watched my first football game since getting rid of cable thanks to this. The stream was much higher quality than I expected, froze two or three times for less than 5 seconds, pretty awesome for a first effort if you ask me. I have a theory that the TV networks know sports is the only thing holding a lot of people back from cutting the cable, and their next TV deal will be HUGE, but it won't stop people from cutting the cable, but will instead lead to fewer people being interested in professional sports, and that both the TV networks and the sports leagues will lose in the long run with this monster deal.

This is really neat! For work, I've found myself from time to time exploring the tech around PDFs. I find this tech strangely fascinating. It's like a shim on top of something old and ugly that enables integration with much more modern systems.

Some quick feedback (and a shameless plug):

The CLI interface should output JSON. It would be nice to combin with a CLI JSON parser such as jq[0].

Shameless plug: I've been working on a PDF CLI aimed at making it easier to programmatically fill out PDF forms: https://github.com/adelevie/pdfq. It provides an interface and some wrappers on top of the main pdf form-filling tool, pdftk. For example, you can get json out of a pdf form like this:

pdftk hello.pdf dump_data_fields | pdfq

Or you can generate FDF from a json file:

cat hello.json | pdfq json_to_fdf

You can also fill a pdf without touching an fdf code:

pdfq set foo bar input.pdf output.pdf

> Home cleaning represents an estimated $400 billion global market

Any limited critical thinking will show that this number is likely off by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Your median US homeowner is spending $0 on home cleaning a year, and the average is likely very close to that. Outside of the US and Europe, labor costs drive that small amount to almost nothing. I would be amazed to learn that the actual size of the market was over $10 billion.

Yeah they kinda skewed their numbers by showing two not so good teams at an hour where most west coast Americans were asleep.

NBC Sports used to (still do?) have an Internet feed for their Sunday Night Football games and TNT did it for some NBA games.

I feel it was way better for me since I could put it in the background or on my other computer and kind of watch it in the background. When you're kinda just watching sports by yourself its kinda boring waiting for the action so being able to control your experience from your computer (volume up, volume down, switch to other game) rather than having to fetch the remote is nice.
This is after our salaries (ie pre-salaries 375K operating profit per year). No short-term capex (serving upgrades to future proof 2-3 years recently completed). Cash in back account growing monthly.
The video was auto-played on Yahoo's homepage as well as the homepage of NFL.com, which is inflating these numbers quite a bit.

That said, the stream was impressively high quality. Much better than DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket streaming package that I pay $50/month for. I didn't have any buffering issues and the quality only dropped below HD a handful of times throughout the broadcast.

I'd love to see a better online streaming option for live sports, but it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. The networks and ESPN simply need the NFL too much to give up control or be outbid anytime in the near future.
> Qi is neither necessary nor sufficient to explain or describe any physical, emotional, cognitive, social or "spiritual" phenomena

Care to be more specific? How do the terms "necessary" and "sufficient" come into play? It's not a binary "all" or "nothing" distinction. If something helps you even a little bit, then it's valuable. An easy to grasp model of your body's state can help you maintain awareness of that state, and thus improve it.

Also, what do homunculi, aether, etc have to do with Qi? Qi is a useful abstraction. I've never claimed that it exists as an objective property of the universe.

Never seen a French kid with a peanut allergy; they probably exist since most processed foods now have warnings about possible allergens, but they must be quite rare. In France "Nutella" is found in most homes; it's an Italian-made (and quite unhealthy) thick mixture of chocolate paste and crushed peanuts. Kids love it.

Also, this formulation is weird:

> Nothing is more unnerving than exposing your child to danger for his benefit, be it germs, shots, strangers, allergens or gravity.

There are things that can kill young kids, they should be avoided at all costs (of course!); these include: guns, swimming pools (being alone at a ~), and, first and foremost, moving cars.

But the rest of the "dangers" are GOOD for kids: "germs" are good (let them play in sandpits!), gravity (climbing trees or other structures) is good, being able to talk to strangers IS VERY GOOD because almost all strangers are not rapists and will not harm your kid in any way -- they may save her life!
You have to realize everything you consume is technically "GMO" (part of why the science industry scoffed at the idea of labeling "GMO" products - because everything would have the label).

As a species, we've been genetically modifying breeds of plants and animals long before Gregor Mendel even. Yes, this means your "Organic" and/or "insert-hip-food-label-here" food still is genetically modified from the "pure" form of that food.

So, no, "GMO" peanuts don't cause allergies any more than "normal" peanuts.

I'm 25 and grew up in rural England, played in the mud, grew up around animals and my parents cooked from fresh every day; yet I have a severe nut allergy and suffered in the past from asthma and hay fever.

I don't think processed food was the cause of my problems, just random genetic flaws.
