I experienced the exact same thing as I got into my 30s, as well as a huge increase in posts appearing in my newsfeed just because a friend 'liked' it. So I'm suddenly seeing the wedding and baby photos of people I've never even met. It just felt creepy and weird, like I was intruding on people's private moments.

I think this is because, as you say, people maintain radio silence apart from major life events. When someone posts one of these major events, everyone else feels like they have to hit 'like' out of a sense of loyalty, which propagates these posts much further across the graph. These are the only type of posts I've seen that routinely get 100+ likes.

I actually think this could be a factor in the downfall of FB, as it develops its own social norms (e.g. "I must always 'like' any photo of a female hand with an engagement ring on it, despite the fact it looks identical to every other one"). The number of likes a post receives is now completely divorced (pun intended) from the inherent quality of the post, so the like button no longer works as an upvote system.

Metro didn't skip Georgetown by choice, that's a myth.
Don't most of the consumer 3D printers use some sort of open source software? I wonder what he is reverse engineering.
Sure. My point is that the forces which optimize for medical tourism do not optimize for overall health care standards. You can certainly prioritize between those two things yourself.
I think he is at a loss of words because the supposedly richest country has areas like this.
There are people out there who commute for over four hours a day. To meet them, take a local Greyhound out of a major center (like Boston) at rush hour. I met a couple of people who commuted from Vermont to Boston every day.
I don't know if you meditate but I can't overemphasis how much mindful meditation helped me when I was spiraling, especially during panic attacks and especially at night.

I downloaded a video of a monk teaching it a while back (have since lost the vid so I can't say which one it was) -- i don't agree or believe in any of spiritual teachings associated with meditation but the physical / mental benefits were impossible for me to deny, even if it was a placebo effect.

I think it probably has to do with focusing your thoughts rather than letting them run wild -- i can't help but think of brains like a computer, and mine tends to get stuck in a recursive loop of negativity, but mindful meditation would almost always break me out of that loop.

Interestingly when I was religious I would pray during those same panic attacks (and always at night) and it would also calm me down. My former religion would have us pray as though we were actually carrying on a one sided conversation with god... being that I'm an atheist I think of prayer as a form of meditation now so i think the effects are very similar.
Why Disney Blew Up More Than 30 Years of Star Wars Canon Business
The reason it's been prophesied that the world in the end will wage war over water, not oil, is because most places in the world aren't surrounded by gigantic lakes of fresh water... not because Flint, MI has lead in their water supply.
Twice the area, 65% of the population. There are vast swathes of land that are relatively sparsely populated, and also areas that have historically specialized in one industry or another. As those industries wax and wane, so too do the fortunes of many who live in those areas. This is an example of that, where there was a lot of manufacturing (primarily cars) in this area, and as those jobs have moved the populace is hit hard.

That said, my understanding is that the area is brutally cold and wet, and that buildings and infrastructure there quickly goes to shit because of that unless it had regular thorough upkeep.
Zsh has quite a nice option "auto_cd". If the first word you type doesn't resolve to a command, it tries to change the current working directory to it instead. So just typing ~ will get you to $HOME, and .. will take you up one.
> So Flint has failed to govern itself - hardly the first time - and now children are poisoned.

To be fair, The State of Michigan took complete control of Flint (through the "Emergency Manager" law). The State of Michigan made the decision to poison Flint's water, not Flint itself.
>There's no environmental protections or regulations of any meaningful kind,

So it's either "have no money and get poisoned by lead in the water pipes" or "have money and get poisoned by the pollution of the factories?"

That's great reading and I appreciate it! From the Wikipedia article, it sounds like the Kerala government is very involved in health care. Am I reading that right?
Historically, some of the big reasons were access to coal and iron mining (for steel making) and access to the Great Lakes for shipping heavy goods and materials.
So CSS3 is both Turing complete and so low-level that most projects of significant size use a preprocessor like LESS, SASS, etc to write their CSS3 for them.
I agree completely. I don't defend it in any way -- it's terrible.

But that's what most people mean/imply when they say Flint is "set up for manufacturing".
Completely agree, a bit frustrating guessing at lines like 'Nylas removes the pain of integrating your app with email ...'
There are examples of it with software, too. It doesn't seem to be the norm in either domain, however, so I'm not sure that there is a good case to be made that they should be similar in this regard but are not.
Lexmark fires Mexico factory workers demanding $0.35 raise
What a wildly anti-union article.

"Deregulation has worked well. ... Before deregulation ICC-regulated truckers paid unionized workers about 50 percent more than comparable workers in other industries."

I understand that cheaper trucking is helpful for some industries, but cutting workers' income is definitely a negative, not a positive.

Yeah. My initial thought after reading the title was, "Shit. Don't tell people this! Someone's going to be crazy enough to invent something with this knowledge."

Anyone who has worked with CSS long enough knows that:

1) Rule priority can get out-of-hand very quickly.
2) It's a nice thought to have more powerful selectors, but, taking #1 into consideration, perhaps limiting its power isn't such a bad idea after all.

I was already on-board with using PostCSS modules, https://github.com/postcss/postcss, to selectively import functionality for use in CSS rather than the heavy-handed approach of bringing all of SASS, LESS, or Stylus. Leaving powerful expression to languages built for it seems natural -- especially when CSS and JS intermingle so heavily.
That would be a valid argument 10-15 years ago however today you need 3D acceleration for (MS) Office.

Running YouTube at anything above 720p is difficult, 60fps isn't functional same goes for 1440/2160p.

Other applications like graphical applications, video editing, CAD etc are also non functional.

I don't know why have you brought up gaming I never did, but please don't even attempt to deny the fact that 3D acceleration is required for many many day to day use cases today that have nothing to do with gaming.

If you use MS Office for work, if you do any sort of content creation, and if you just want to enjoy HD media QubesOS is not for you and those aren't some edge cases.

Yes if you only use VIM ,Libre Doc's (And even Libre Office is using OpenCL these days for spreadsheets and many other things) and Gmail you can use QubesOS without any restrictions but if you need other thinks like for example even basic 3D modeling/slicing software for your 3D printer, Sketchup or Ligthroom well then sorry my dear.
> What disappoints me the most here is now that I feel like it's all on me to determine what my real risk levels are and what's appropriate to treat this.

A convoluted set of circumstances led me to a quick detour in grad school, to sit in on Anatomy at Harvard Med. This included the dissection portion, in which four med students hunch over the cadaver for 3-4 hours at a time. It lead to some of the best medical conversation I've had in my life.

The best topic was summarized as: When you visit a doctor, odds are that he/she has about 15 minutes to an hour to evaluate you before moving onto the next case (often because there are bills to pay.) If you are not an expert on your particular medical history and circumstances, then you are basically screwed, because there is nobody human who can digest all of your medical history and circumstances in the allotted amount of time. It still essentially holds true if you have some serious condition: Consider all of the other patients on the doctor's plate.

That, combined with several other stories and experiences, had a big effect on me: It became obvious that it is worth enormous amounts of time and money to keep fit. When it comes to the med community, the only way to win is not to play.

It's false that Michigan lacks environmental protections. It isn't as strict as California, but the question of where to house factories isn't between California and Michigan; it's between places like Michigan and places like Vietnam and Thailand.

There is a lowest common denominator of environmental protection in the US that is higher than most of the other places manufacturers would consider new plants.

Star Trek = Science fiction.

Star Wars = Fantasy.

Science fiction answers the question "What if science?". It explores how the human condition may react to the new circumstances presented by advanced science. That's why it is almost universally set in the future, even where quazi-magical (Dune).

But Star Wars separates itself from frame one. What is the first thing lucas says in star wars? "A long time ago..." so this isn't anything that might happen in the future. And "in a galaxy far far away" ... it isn't anything to do with us. Lucas couldn't be more blatant. Star Wars is not science fiction.

It's basically LOTR+lasers.

The problem with that assumption is that the consumption occurring is probably <10 minutes of killed time for the consumer. What would you pay to lose 10 minutes while waiting for your wife to get out of the changing room or your kid to get out of school or whatever?

You wouldn't pay a damn thing for that. Just because a product is widely consumed doesn't make it valuable any more than the time and money put into making it. I can spend thousands to create a 2 by 2 cube of steel and stick it in my front yard, the fact that investment was made doesn't mean its valuable.

Edit: Bad typo.

"It depends". I'm fond of Spoiler Warning, which I've been watching for a while, because it's a bunch of 30-somethings (like me) doing interesting game criticism in addition to the other things Let's Plays usually do. They're actually one of the earlier iterations of the idea. I also don't get the appeal of watching someone simply play the game and just generally react, when I could be playing it (or something else) myself. I've only sampled those streams every so often just to check the game itself out (i.e., briefly just sampled about 3 minutes of Angry Joe's Fallout 4 stream, just to see completely unvarnished, real footage).

On the topic of 30-somethings, while you may hear a lot more about the youth, I gotta say there's a lot of "30 somethings" in the general "Internet video" space, doing various interesting works. I noticed once I started getting into Patreon that without particularly meaning to be hipster, an awful lot of my entertainment time is spent on grain-fed, organically-raised artisanal Internet video now. It just sorta... happened.
I've collected a lot of research on low-carb diets. In my previous job as a neurology professor, I had access to all of the most medical journals, and was able to save a lot. I have been on a ketogenic diet for 2 years now, and my LDL cholesterol went from 180 to 130, my HDL from 28 to 80, and my triglycerides from 140 to 75. Plus, I lost 70 pounds, no migraines for 2 years, and my anxiety and depression have all but disappeared. 75% of my calories are from fat (50/50 saturated/unsaturated, mostly from red meat, oils including coconut, olive, and avacodo, butter, plus a TON of vegetables). This is pretty typical.

On page 29, there is a cool paper showing ultrasound cross-sections of blood vessels before and after a low-carb diet, and the resulting dramatic decrease in inflammation.

I warned them Xen was a bad foundation versus extended more secure microkernel designs. Some already had Linux in user-mode. Joanna ranted a ton then to defend her decision. Funny to see her ranting at Xen now on their mailing list and writing crap like that about what bullets they dodged.

Fortunately, GenodeOS is improving nicely and follows right principles much like what I suggested for Qubes.
I don't think that's right. I've heard this story before too, but I don't think it played much of a role in the Metro layout. The system map implies the exact opposite of what you're saying: it's very good at bringing people from the suburbs to downtown and back. That's actually one of the main criticisms of it today: that it is set up like a commuter rail and not a subway.
We use jenkins for CI, but only on our QA server. I haven't found a way to do CI without giving Jenkins full credentials on our server.

Jenkins is very powerful, but I would not trust it (or any of the myriad plugins we have installed) to not have security holes.
One unique aspect of the United States is that it's a huge country, where more than half of the land is livable/arable[1]. When an area isn't working, the economic forces that would revive it out of raw necessity just don't have the force that they do in many other countries, so areas can just hollow out as people move to other cities, to the endless suburbs, and so on. These pictures are primarily just abandoned areas, which in a country of some 5 million square kilometers of arable land just isn't that odd.

[1] I'm from Canada and we often like to talk about how big this country is, but in reality most of us live huddled on the US border, and where 45%+ of the US is arable, just 7% of Canada is.
That would be my first step for health reform: Require publication of prices and outcomes. Also: Don't allow charging of one price to one group of people (uninsured) and 25% of that price for another group (insurers). One price for all. Maybe allow for 10% discount but not the huge discounts insurers get.

> Interestingly, Tcl was parsed the same way all the way up until Tcl 8.0 introduced a bytecode system in 1997. Each line was parsed right before execution with no separate parsing stage--your code could crash in the middle of executing from a syntax error.

Fun fact: most modern JavaScript engines in browsers work this way today, though at a different level of granularity. Parsing slows down application startup, so many JS engines don't parse a function body until it's first called. This means you can have a syntax error in a function body and won't know if it's never used.
Fantasy and science fiction are usually lumped together under the "speculative fiction" umbrella. Since Clarke pointed out that magic is equivalent to sufficiently advanced technology, the dividing line between science fiction and fantasy can change according to the technical sophistication of the observer.

In 1865, Jules Verne's _De la Terre à la Lune_ was science fiction. By 1903, Tsiolkovsky made it space fantasy. By 1960, it was back to science fiction again, though it will never be usable for manned launches until we find some way to make >100g accelerations survivable.

As such, I don't find it useful to divide the genres too strictly. A Charles deLint fairy tale novel and a Cunningham/Carruthers Men in Black comic are in the same genre: low modern urban fantasy. Laser guns and magic wands are the same thing. Lightsabers and vorpal blades are the same thing. Robotic automata and servitor daemons are the same thing.

In most cases, the fantasy elements keep the story interesting, and the sci-fi elements lend it an air of future plausibility. You don't have to explain a magic wand, but you might have to mention that a laser rifle uses an Er:YAG laser and a heavy air-breathing lithium battery, only in very arid atmospheric conditions, to literally explode the water in a human target into steam from hundreds of meters away. But a shock cannon uses a different type of laser to ionize the air between the user and the target, and uses a voltage multiplier circuit to shoot an artificial lightning bolt down the conductive pathway, grounding through the target. If it isn't explained, it's another magic wand.

I have read books that started out looking like high fantasy at the beginning, until the characters learn that magic is the result of an AI--from the colonization ship's navigation computer--performing weapons research on the human descendants of its former passengers, and that the creatures formerly described as demons are actually aliens.

Try to pigeonhole that one into the right genre.
IMO this is really inaccurate. Rochester Hills, Bloomfield, Royal Oak, Grosse Point, all very wealthy cities .... the problems are simply accentuated by the scale economic growth/collapse, but it happens in West Michigan as well (Benton Harbor, for example).

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, except that I went to their first public meeting. To say that it was "eye opening" would be an understatement. I've lived in the DC metro area for over 25 years and I thought I knew all of WMATA's problems, but some of the stories I heard at that meeting made me realize how lucky I am to live within walking distance to an Orange Line stop.

Yeah, we should build some naval bases in Flint, MI to even things out.
Oakland County is also fairly prosperous (a good portion of the migration out of Detroit was a few dozen miles north to Oakland County).

I think pensions end up being a big factor. A city of 100,000 people is going to have some trouble keeping up the payments owed by the former city of 200,000. I guess as a society we need to remember to be really careful about promising compensation and then finding funds for it later (pensions were also a big factor in bankrupting GM and Chrysler).
