The only thing that turns me away from ebooks is that most sellers could just stop providing books to you.

If amazon goes out of business and your kindle breaks, good luck getting your books back.

I can't imagine trusting any service that I don't host with data as important as the contents of books.

I have some books that have been passed down to me by my grandpa from Russia. I wouldn't be able to do that with an ebook that I don't host myself.

TL;DR: When it gets less proprietary and I can use my own device and storage medium I'll buy into it.
No, hence, Gif/APNG are good for lossless animations. But for sites like imgur that host animations, I would like it if their gifv format (pretty much mp4/webm) played immediately on my mobile, without it having to be a gif file.
Chrome and Firefox should remove the root certificate of any provider that charges for SSL certificates. Not because 10 usd is much, but because it prevents the web from being open to people in third-world countries or those who don't want to (or can't) run their own servers (and so can't use lets encrypt).

How to do IT:Backup Planning
If you email me (see my profile) I'll put you in touch with friends at the CDC.

Here's a question I'd like to ask you, though. Which of these would have the most benefit?

A) You devote all your time to learning about how to eradicate aedes aegypti. You re-learn the biochem you used to know, and you learn a lot more of the advanced stuff. You'll earn very little money during this time. In 5 or 10 years, you'll have caught up to the leaders in the field. You may, however, not have as much raw intelligence or creativity as the current leaders.

B) You do what you're already employed to do. Your salary grows rapidly, as it often does for smart people in tech. Your salary should be well above $200k in 5 or 10 years, and you may even have some options that become liquid around that time, giving you a few hundred thousand more in cash. During this time, you donate all of your extra income to the leaders in the field who are trying to eradicate aedes aegypti.

Maybe those two scenarios aren't spot on for you, but do you see what I'm getting at? My friends in science rarely complain that there aren't enough people working on something like this. Their problem is that budgets are unpredictable and fluctuate at unfortunate times. Many of my scientist friends went deeply into debt to get their PhD's, and they can't survive without a decent income.

> as long as you build a data interop layer of some sort (JSON, etc.). I imagine that if it were powering a web app, dual-deployment would become an additional (but potentially manageable) concern during the "transition" period

Which brings up an interesting idea:

* All codebases are in some kind of inflight transition. Usually not migrating across languages, but often migrating across authors and authoring styles, sometimes migrating across underlying platforms. So, things that make these inflight transitions easier might well be practices one should consider adopting.

* The "data interop layer" might simply be another way of understanding another principle: if your data structures/formats are (a) legible and (b) well-fitted to your problem domain, your program is probably going to be easier to understand and modify... maybe even when it comes to modifications that might seem extreme.

Or to use words attributed to Linus Torvalds: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."
Well, at least the languages you use stay pretty much the same? Javascript, HTML, and CSS are always going to be there. Although.. I suppose that could be considered both good and bad..
First of all, him being the "president and CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau" renders any potential discussion based on that statement invalid anyhow.

Secondly, what is there to discuss in the first place? He certainly is free not to use any adblockers, just as everyone else is free to use (or not use) them as well.

Whats next? Discussing the use of black vs dark blue socks? Unless OF COURSE, he is suggesting to ban, block, "outlaw" adblockers. THAT would be a completely different issue and an actual war/attack on free choice, the very thing is appears to criticise.

How We Ideated, Designed, and Launched a Product Over a Three-Day Weekend
That doesn't really contradict my statement. I agree that the feature is already there in Meteor (only with another query language), and that it's also supportable by RethinkDB, Firebase or any other backend/db which supports subscriptions. By what I meant is that it requires support for subscriptions all along the chain, and this is not supported by legacy REST/GraphQL/etc. APIs. The lack of alternate DDP backends besides the MongoDB one (and of course the creation of custom subscriptions) seems to confirm this.

I am sure they could now update their query language to GraphQL instead of MongoDB queries by adapting and extending the existing system, but I don't know if thats currently the biggest problem for meteor adoption or only something that is nice to have for some GraphQl/Relay fans (which still might be using these directly anyway).
The first fellowship did not require incorporation, I imagine V3 will be the same.

>Switching from Java to C# doesn't offer any HUGE advantages to the end user.

I know C# doesn't offer much in terms of optimization.

I was thinking they would do a C# rewrite because getting modders to switch from Java to C# is easier and it would give them a chance to show support for C# on non-Windows systems. I also think it would reduce the chance for a community split where modders continue modding the last Java versions.

I'm probably biased in favor of modding. I remember Notch mentioning most sales came from systems where modding wasn't even possible, even though I personally think modding is the greatest thing about Minecraft. That has likely biased my view on the issue.
> I chuckled at this: "In schools and colleges that use Office 365, students will be able to log on to Minecraft using their Office credentials." Because everyone things "how can I log into this game? Oh yeah, with my office credentials." :-)

If you're a teacher, it's a huge boon to be able to re-use existing accounts. You really don't want to make dozens of classes of kids set up and remember new IDs and passwords for a single application.
Will this C++ version run everywhere Minecraft already runs (Linux/Mac/Windows/mobile/etc.)? Can it connect to Java servers?
When I said values I didn't mean "value" as in "benefit" but moral values (which in the US were heavily shaped by Puritan Christianity). Vengeance is a part of that, reimbursing the victims for their suffering by punishing the offender (and thus making them suffer "in return").

As an example, in capital punishment allowing specifically members of the families of the victims to sit in on an execution is solely based on vengeance. Neutral observers, sure -- to document it. Relatives and family, sure -- to allow them to say goodbye. But the victims' involvement ends with that of the judges. If it weren't for the aspect of vengeance, the execution would be "not for them", it's just carrying out the sentence.

Every single time someone says "I eat the same as them" it's been shown to be self-reported, and therefore not verifiable in the least, including this current study. There's a show called "Secret Eaters", you should really check it out. People lie, to themselves included, about how much they eat and how much they exercise. Add to this a 4ft woman will not have the same BMR as a 6ft man, and there's no reason to go searching for some external influence.

There are psychological issues, to be sure, but except for rare exceptions (like Crohn's and extreme outliers, ie, not common) people of the same height and weight are within 200-300Kcal of each other BMR wise (source: http://examine.com/faq/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-peop...)
For myself, I found math difficult. Never understood, even now, the need to spend so much time memorizing multiplication tables.

That said, I started over in a community college, and finished up to trig. with ease. I found trigonometry, surprisingly straight forward. I went on to finish a year of physics. I didn't need calculus for my major, and heard it was really hard. Plus, I didn't want to ruin my grade point average with a class I didn't need. I now regret not taking calculus, but it's so much easier to learn something these days.

My struggle with math was two fold. I didn't care in high school, and I never had a firm grasp on basic math. I look back , and once I truly inderstood basic math, especially fractions, and percentages; it all became so easy.

I see a lot of kids still struggling with math. They get pushed along, and avoid any class that has math in it. I do blame our U.S. teaching system in this case. Keep teaching basic math until the kid can teach it to to their classmates.

Then, and only then move on to algebra, and trig? As to calculus, I didn't take it so I won't comment, but when I was applying to health professional schools, I didn't find one that required Calculus. Probally for good reason. My physics classmates biggest, silent stumbling block was they were horrid in math, and looking back--they just didn't know the basics, so every step up the ladder became more mysterious. Most of my classmates seemed to the solving problems in physics by memorizing the homework; not truly understanding the problems.

The current front runner in this niche is Sponge.

"Sponge is a combination of a new API (based off of Spout/Flow’s APIs) implemented on top of Forge, with assistance from other parts of Minecraft’s modding community (Glowstone, Cauldron, Spout, etc.).

It will be both a server and client API, and its target user base is pretty much anyone that wants to mod their game, including server owners. However, we may focus on the server-side portion first.

We invite any developer to help out."

>T-Mobile re-encodes videos, degrading quality

The link goes to an article that says T-mobile didn't reencode at all, but was throttling.

I don't think there's any evidence that T-mobile re-encoded video from non binge-on providers, so they don't belong in that list. (And if someone's a partner, they want to help T-mobile do whatever it is they're doing, so using https to prevent that makes no sense.)
> Sorry, I meant suggest taking less patients, in addition to charging enough to match what you were making before.

How? They can't negotiate with public insurers (Medicare and Medicaid), who together control over 40% of the payer market.

They can't charge self-paying (uninsured) patients any more, because those patients can't really afford it so they don't actually pay.

And they already overcharge private insurers (to account for the below-cost reimbursement rates of public insurers), so there really isn't room to charge them any more.

> Is there no doctor's lobby?

Not really. The last 40 years have been a massive power shift from doctors to hospitals, and from hospitals to insurance companies. The ACA was probably the single biggest sign of that, but it was as much a symptom as it was a cause.

Contrary to popular belief, doctors have less power today than they did 20 or 40 years ago, and they have very little leverage with which to secure any additional power. Almost all the industry power rests in the hands of the insurers. (And the private insurers are themselves beholden to Medicare).

The entire narrative is around expanding coverage and reducing costs, which invariably means paying doctors less, not more, for the same work.
Potentially unpopular opinion: Maybe our math teachers just suck? If we all had Marvin as our professor I doubt attrition would be as high, whereas most High School math teachers are simply analytically inclined people who realized they had better job security teaching math than english

If it was really that simple, don't you think people would already do it? Your advice comes across as pretty sanctimonious. It's the equivalent of shouting at heroin addicts "STOP TAKING HEROIN!"
Right. Like almost any other subject, there will be a handful of people at the top and below them many more who are likely very good at what they do, but will probably never achieve what the top x% do.

I consider myself one that's very good, but I look at people like Carmack and realize I will never be one of them...that won't stop me from trying to though!
How can there be a convertible note without incorporation?
Uhmm... OP is demonstrating an example using a JavaScript-based polyfill.

If we rejected every feature that began as mere polyfills, we wouldn't have the web that we have today.

Here's just a few examples: we would need images for rounded corners, Gif/Flash/JavaScript for animations, Cookies for storage, Flash for browser-based webcam calls, etc.
>but do we have any evidence?

I'm not aware of any. The problem is, this would be such a unique occurrence that, like speculating on the nature of alien life based on Earth life, anything worth calling evidence might be impossible to find.

I don't disbelieve you - Mojang, even under Microsoft, has always been rather clueless - but what's your source on this?
For those not sure about diving directly into a PDF at work or want to know why they should, here's a review I found online of the book:

https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gilbert-brim/ambi...

"Succinct and finely tuned thoughts on why happiness has little to do with money, youth, or even education, by the director of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Mid-Life Development. Humans make themselves happy, Brim argues, by finding a ``way to live at the level of just manageable difficulty.''"

You're making a far stronger claim than denying that some people are not 10x more productive than others. You're claiming that anyone can be just as productive as anyone else.

That seems to either be such a strong claim that it's trivial to refute, (i.e. a newborn baby, or a quadriplegic with severe mental retardation, etc.), or too nebulous and ill-defined to be of any use (i.e. said quadriplegic is productive in cultivating character in carers?)
Added a clarification to the relevant section. Apologies again for the confusion!
Push API – Web APIs – MDN
That isn't fair by any biblical definition, but luckily not everybody cares about that.

The way people are treated shouldn't be based on what the most emotionally invested people want. What makes the person rehabilitated is that they don't do the crime again, and nothing else. You can't cause wrongdoing to someone who is dead, so the only downside to releasing the person is you might feel sad. Only if you dwell on it for the rest of your life. But you won't, people move on.
In the part where it says "Spot the difference" and everyone says "The BPG one looks worse". That's because BPG, even in "lossless" mode... is lossy. So you're taking a video with H.264 compression artifacts and recompressing it with HEVC artifacts. The quality can only go down.

FLIF on the other hand is lossless, so the image would be truly identical (pixel for pixel). However the filesize will likely be much larger, as MP4 is a very good at lossy compression. What BPG is doing is better performed by HTML5 video formats that already exist due to hardware acceleration support for H.264 and better memory management for video. Also there are patent issues with BPG due to it being based on HEVC.

FLIF is patent free, making it the more likely candidate for mass adoption. It's animation, like APNG is lossless and supports full 24-bit transparency (versus GIF's 8-bit). However the filesize for FLIF is considerably smaller than APNG, even when crushing it with algorithms like Zopfli. Still though, for full frame video, you'll have a better time with MP4, though FLIF will be better quality, it will only be marginal and not likely noticeable in most cases.

What is interesting is the responsive aspect of FLIF. If you encoded an HD video, but only display it on a page at a lower resolution, it will only download the minimum amount of data required to display the image up to that resolution. So it could technically require a lot less bandwidth from a server compared to MP4 if the user doesn't fullscreen the video. But this is more to do with implementation than with formats. YouTube does this same idea, though with a completely different style of execution, in which they only give the the quality for the resolution you are playing it at.
It's just not the simple. The body fights back with a caloric reduction either through drowsiness, reduced thyroid, and hunger pains. The body wants to maintain.

It's easy to posit so that some people's responses may be more intense than others.
This looks like an older version of the file. I don't know where to find an easily-linkable online copy of the current one, but it's the "definitions.units" file included in GNU Units.
> But if obesity is primarily the fault of the person who is obese lacking will power then shouldn't we start by doing things directly addressing this.

Yes, we should. The average weight has gone up far faster than humans can change genetically, so people start looking for things like gut flora or epigenetics. Occam's razor would point to the average supermarket and restaurant selection of today versus a few generations ago to explain the obesity epidemic. Cheaper, faster, tastier food (capitalism optimizes for these three qualities in food), and more riveting, less active indoor pursuits can easily explain it. That's not to say the research is worthless, but gut biome most likely influences subconscious cravings, not BMR, and epigenetics is still young enough that many biologists think that pulling conclusions from research into it is premature at best.
I'm not trying to attack anybody. I sympathize very much with the stresses of being placed unexpectedly into the public light, and I did not and will not criticize his decision to sell.

Regardless, I wasn't trying to ask why Notch sold. I meant to ask why it was not fair for Oculus to sell if it was fair for him to sell. Asking this question is fair game since Notch chose to make his condemnation of the acquisition exceptionally public.
