>two thousand dollars? And that's AFTER insurance, by the way

You never mentioned that this was after insurance. If your bill was vastly more than $2,000 - I can agree that we have a cost issue (stemming from insurance interference in the marketplace).

I think the "oddly" was meant to be from the perspective of those who first encountered the women, not from the perspective of the writer or the reader. Maybe it would be clearer as "surprisingly" or "at first surprisingly".
> I've got a huge problem with software that goes out of its way to prevent the user from doing something they explicitly want to do.

I guess you have a huge problem with Windows 7 or later or OS X 10.9 or later, which really go out of their way to prevent you from loading unsigned kernel-space device drivers.
I like what raganwald writes but let's get real here. People asked for the class keyword because it made classes easier to write AND read. OOP with prototypes is dreadfull, from a "clean code" perspective.

Javascript should get the same perks for mixins, because going back to "builders" is going back to everybody writing his own flavor of the same stuff and doesn't make things readable anymore.

Is there a mixins proposal for ES7 ?

a simple thing would be to allow multiple inheritance :

class Foo extends Bar,Baz {}

just like Python

I think the Python way is the simplest one.
Aren't you oversimplifying a bit on the non-maven side?

Last I checked when I use make I still have to find and download all dependencies before I can get a working build.

Maven sorts all that.
>promise-a by itsef does not solve callback hell it simply turns it into a never-ending-chain-of-thens but async/await (built on top of promise) does make things easily comprehensible. How do i use async/await in CLJS?

There's a long discussion here, which I'm pretty sure you're already aware of, on the tradeoffs:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojurescript/LBy0yi...

Each approach has its downsides, but clearly core.async and promises work just fine here.

>More importantly why shouldn't i use something like ESLisp if I am into lisp but want to work with JS features directly? Why would I want to mix JS with CLJS amd require everyone who maintains my code to know both?

Language semantics is why. ClojureScript has much cleaner semantics than Js and languages that provide syntax sugar on top of it. It's immutable by default, has clean and consistent syntax, and far less gotchas than Js.

Nobody actually mixes Js with ClojureScript. People write libraries backed by Js internally, but the users of these libraries don't have to know or care about that.

The real question is why would somebody want to learn the giant clusterfuck that ES6/7 constitutes when far saner alternatives are available.

> i gave up on CLJS after it was evident to me that JS is maturing and has copied a lot of the stuff I like from CLJS plus some stuff from C# like async/await.

Adding features to an already poorly designed language does not make it better. You end up with a giant kitchen sink language that takes inordinate brainpower to work with. We've already seen that this is a bad idea with languages like C++ and Scala. And no, you can't just learn a snae subset of the language, because sooner or later you have to deal with code written by other people.

If working with a giant quirky mess that looks like this https://i.imgur.com/AjSTP20.png is you cup of tea then who am I to stop you, but I certainly question that it's a rational choice. :)

By appealing to the appropriate US Court of Appeals.

> TFA clearly describes judgement in favor of the defendants' (i.e. the cops) summary motion to dismiss all elements of the suit completely.

Such a judgment does not prevent an appeal. (Indeed, a final judgment of this type may be necessary for an appeal to be ripe.)

#HackerUnit First AI remote accelerator reveals its first batch
Have you seen this[1][2] 30 page document published by the Australian Government, entitled "Preventing Violent Extremism And Radicalisation In Australia"

The title on page 10 is "Violent extremism", followed by a 'Case Study' on page 11 which reads:

"Karen grew up in a loving family who never participated in activism of any sort. When she moved out of home to attend university Karen became involved in the alternative music scene, student politics and left-wing activism."

The Australian Government associating "university" and "the alternative music scene, student politics, and left-wing activism" with "violent extremism" is an undesirable state of living charactered by the overbearing presence of the civil authorities indeed.

> More like isolated abuses of power than the pervasive control of civil authorities.

In Australia, first they came for people who listened to alternative music. And I didn't speak up because I didn't listen to alternative music. ... Except, I do. I've also voted for, and been a member of, left-wing political parties in the past. When should I start worrying? Probably not until the current set of primary school aged kids are running the country, because it's them who have been born in to a world where persistent surveillance is normal and listening to alternative music is extreme.

Oh well, we tried.

I never meant to imply the guy wasn't driven and had serious business skils...that much is beyond obvious.

Just his ability to cold call so many people and secure a $40k angel investment over the phone shows he is miles above most when it comes to dedication and drive.

My point was..even with all that, it's still a total crapshoot to strike 9-digit gold.
I would buy one of these!
A severe asthma attack is an emergency, not something a walk-in clinic can reliably handle. An asthma attack can range anywhere from moderate difficulty breathing (as though you're breathing through a straw or wet towel) to literal inability to breathe.

The treatment can be relatively simple, but in those cases you usually don't go to the ED to begin with: an in-home nebulizer device costs a few hundred dollars (uninsured) and pays for itself by saving only one ED trip (even if insured). The exception, naturally, is if your asthma is undiagnosed or usually not problematic, or if you run out of medication and need more in a hurry.

If it goes beyond that, the patient will often require intravenous medication, which a typical walk-in clinic is not equipped to administer. Even if the attack is obliging enough to occur when the clinic is open, all they will do is send you to the nearest emergency department.

The most severe attacks will require EMTs on-site, because the patient could easily die before reaching the hospital. One sometimes goes to the hospital in cases where one fears it will escalate to this as a simple preemptive, because if it goes badly you die.

It's true that there is a cost to handling all of this, and that needs to be understood. Still, it's worth remembering that this isn't some frivolous waste of resources: said resources are being applied to a legitimate need. The alternative is not to accept a lesser "level of service", it is to accept a nontrivial risk of dying of suffocation.
If this inference is right, I hope this means that Google will enable the web community to use the JVM with or as an alternative to WebAssembly. Hotspot is absolutely incredible technology, and it's competitors are still many years away from coming close to matching it's capabilities.

> s/federal law enforcement agency/part of the federal security apparatus/ doesn't really change the argument, does it?

Since there is no argument actually made, just a recitation of supposedly-relevant facts designed to create an emotional response, the argument can't actually be changed. But, yes, I think that the given that this is a non-security-related law enforcement issue, the change even in the fuzzy emotional appeal the reporter is making with that paragraph is radically transformed without the implication that he Hartes' have a background in law enforcement specifically giving them a notional advantage in dealing with this kind of law enforcement action.
hahah good luck with that
Oh you're right, I should've told my wife to calm down with her gasping for air until the morning when I could take her to a more wallet friendly clinic.

I can't tell if you're clinging to this argument out of pride or if you're just deliberately refusing to understand what "emergency" care is for some reason. Maybe you haven't had the experience of dialing up a significant other's parents to let them know what's going on and which hospital you're going to in the middle of the night, but let me tell you that planning out which hospital was going to screw us the least in the pocketbook was NOT in the forefront of my mind.

Edit: Full disclosure, this was the best case scenario: In network hospital and everything. I research this stuff ahead of time for this exact reason. The insurance company only covers 60% of the visit until I spend something like $4,500. When you make under $40k, $2,000 might as well be $4,500 might as well be a million dollars, it DOESN'T MATTER because it's still going to ruin you for a long time.
Sure most of us disagree with what "fucking_tragedy" is saying, he doesn't offer evidence, and it stems from a weak line of reasoning. But we shouldn't bury it just because we disagree with it.

Even though I side with encryption, I think it's worth at least exploring the other side's argument.

Does access to encryption give increased capability to China in such a way that it "profits" in matters of national security / finance / etc. Or will such a move ultimately "cost" China due to the side effects of weaker technological infrastructure, privacy, etc?

Will it be a detriment to the United States (assuming current government snooping laws remain the same)?

I think the answers to these, while they can be theorized and predicted, will best be fleshed out in due time, hopefully influencing US politicians to make the right decision.
The threat is probably not so much as the Pakistani navy cutting the pipeline as much as insurgents/terrorists. Its much harder to damage a pipeline deep underwater (I would assume) than one in plain sight. Especially since the westernmost areas of Pakistan (bordering Iran) are semi-independent and governed by tribals.
>What a caustic statement! Blinded by this much vitriol you are blindly ascribing your opinion to whatever aspect of the issue you feel.

"Caustic", "vitriol", "blinded", etc. There's nothing complicated about what I wrote. Some people get to play life in easy mode, others don't.

To give an easy example, some kids in the 40s, say, were born into post-slavery poverty, racism, segregation and Jim Crow laws for example. Would you say they should be just as likely to go to college and succeed as some silver-spoon fed upper middle class kid, and if they didn't it's their fault?

While "de jure" segregation doesn't hold anymore, it's not that much better for million of young kids in the projects even today.

>For every "privileged" student, there are "less fortunate" who get a tax break, a student discount, a grant or whatever. The world is a bit more dynamic than you paint it to be.

All these things (tax breaks, student discounts, grants) don't substitute having money, a stable family to support you, the encouragement you need early on as a child, and a good school and neighborhood in your youth.

Privileged students have all these by default (their families are simply educated, white, well-off, etc), the less fortunate students only get a chance at this if they manage to be able to go to college in the first place, which means they have already defeated the odds.
For the time being, it would seem that the vast majority of encounters with police in the United States is entirely uneventful: traffic tickets, a stern talking to, etc.

Naturally, every police encounter where a gun is not drawn/no one's rights are apparently violated will never make the news.

It's the exceptions that make headlines, and it's the internet that has empowered those exceptions to be made public and spread much farther and wider than they ever had even 10 years ago (what with everybody and their mother and grandmother on Facebook these days). This is perhaps one upside of the true eternal September that we've entered (much more so than the advent of AOL back in the day).

This is not to say that there isn't a problem. The fact that stories like these have popped up in basically every state in the US suggests that there is indeed a culture that has developed amongst law enforcement/government that facts and science and reason play second fiddle to a number of other factors (not to mention the "thin blue line").

I do believe that most cops in the US act in the public interest to the best of their knowledge/ability; the problem is that it's most and not all, and the minority with perhaps ulterior motives now has access to a great deal of surplus military equipment manufactured for various recent US military operations (and provided to local law enforcement at tremendous discounts), and laws that allow them to behave in ways that they should not be allowed to behave.
Pooping * checking on for that I know takes about +-5min to cook in oven or on stove, but every time is different so you must constantly check it * looking for something to watch on tv * turning on the comp, opening all my workflow programs, reseting all the window sizes to the proper size * organize and compile my notes, this means taking notes from my phone, desktop, and paper, and bringing them all into the same text file, at the same time I merge it with the previously existing file and organize all the notes in the correct sections * to go along with previous, coverting a text files dashes(bullets) and indents (more bullets) to json, using the tiered format in the text file to dictate the hierarchy in the json * reliably cleaning litter box * cleaning of bunny cage * reliably feed pets with fallback system in place * development environment setup, the overhead for starting a new language or framework sometimes is a lot, would be great to just download a docker styled program with everything I need for all languages in it to play around with and test new things out, not a full blown ide though

That is an interesting point. It seems similar to when the rural workforce of the US transformed into an urban middle-class (before transforming into the suburban-middle class). It seems like in India, this transformation (and the resulting prosperity) was stunted by the inability of Indian cities to accommodate this kind of population transfer.

I think the point is that Apple no longer has "backdoor" keys for encryption any longer so that they have no keys to give the government when they come knocking. I'm basing this conclusion off a quote from the article: "While the government insists that there will be no requirement for companies to install backdoor", as well as an interview with Tim Cook off 60 Minutes where he stated they won't be going the backdoor route anymore. I believe there are more quotes available from him if you google "apple encryption backdoor".
This looks very promising and could be huge if it supported JVM languages besides Java. I've been digging through the docs and have yet to find anything to this end. (Going so far as to post a SO question about it at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34502625/can-i-use-codena... )
Who said they are static?

"The general idea is that you can increase overall productivity with education"

But does this general idea actually work? Unless you just give everyone a diploma, the problem will just be pushed further down the education chain.

If college were free, there will be a greater demand (of potential students) and the same amount of supply (universities) as we've always had.

This will mean more strict enrollment guidelines (IE: more difficult testing) and students that have the money for tutors or the parents that can help them study will always be at an advantage, and get in.

To me, this seems like it will just be a repeat of what we have now. It's a quick-fix that is doomed to fail.

We should completely get rid of the student loan system. Colleges will be forced to reduce their rates because nobody will actually be able to afford it and offer some scholarships to the academically talented.

Not everyone should go to college. You can still make a very good living in the skilled trades (plumber, electrician). Free tuition for all will not solve this issue and magically make students more capable, educated, or interested in a 4 year degree.
DAO (and equivalent) are problematic though. Exposed hammers should be there. NYPD issues Glocks with custom 12 lb triggers (regular is about 5), and their cops have a bit of a problem hitting what they're pointing at as a result.
I truly hope they make a "Warcraft IV", with custom games and everything like in Warcraft III.

Although I wonder what is next, besides Overwatch, since it seems like they are trying to expand the amount of games and genres lately.
I completed a masters in physics my first time around, and over a decade later decided to do a masters in maths (which I completed).

On my own experiences, if you're willing to put the hours in, the prospects are pretty good. Maths isn't magic, and I found there wasn't much at the standard masters level that couldn't be at least managed (if not mastered) with significant but not superhuman effort.

I've no idea about math GREs; I'm in the UK.

From the Stasi article on Wikipedia:

By 1995, some 174,000 inoffizielle Mitarbeiter (IMs) Stasi informants had been identified, almost 2.5% of East Germany's population between the ages of 18 and 60.[12] 10,000 IMs were under 18 years of age.[12] From the volume of material destroyed in the final days of the regime, the office of the Federal Commissioner for the Stasi Records (BStU) believes that there could have been as many as 500,000 informers.[12] A former Stasi colonel who served in the counterintelligence directorate estimated that the figure could be as high as 2 million if occasional informants were included.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi

According to this[1] there are 1.22 million police in the US, which is about 0.373% of the population. Imagine 10 times as many police / informants / analysts / etc.
