Agreed. I wish e-mail (and many other services) wasn't a "free" offering from diversified players. I think pure play businesses who gasp charge enough to make a living and a profit based solely on their product's direct value are very appealing.
And there were parts of the article where she lived off of rice and milk. It's not the $20 meal that's costing her, but the higher cost of living from living in an RV + the unfixed employment income and the fact that she doesn't have a lifetime of savings to fall back on.
Haha, I'm not entirely surprised. The UI is pretty dated, and overall it can be kind of janky sometimes.

Seriously, you should consider making that somehow part of the "contact us" link. Because even as someone not using the service, anytime I see "contact us" I get the same disgusting feeling in the pit of my stomach that you want me to contact you because you want to up-sell me.

At the very least, make it a link to "show pricing" and then on the next page give an explanation of like - if you need X, it should cost approximately X. Because we're still figuring things out, we may need to give you custom pricing (from the geeks, not a sales guy, we promise!). "Contact Us" has unfortunately become synonymous with shitty used-car negotiations.

Second data point. Mine takes about 35 minutes to go from near empty to full if I use the supplied wall charger, and is substantially slower if I use most other things (though oddly, my Anker DC->AC 2-port USB-A charger is able to support rapid charging).

When you plug it in, turn it off, then back on. Down at the bottom, near the fingerprint, it should indicate the type of charging you're getting. I've seen three modes, and I apologize for not knowing the distinctions, but they're "charging slowly", "charging" and "charging rapidly".

Times are commensurate to the charge mode, and rapid charging is unsurprisingly quite fast.

Another thing that might be the case is if the OP is going from actual empty to full without turning it on, which should (to some extent) expedite charging as there is no discharge happening at the same time, maybe.

You seek out people engaged in illegal behavior and hope that there is a limit upon which laws they will violate and that that limit includes not harming you. If you're lucky, you're at the Napster end of the spectrum. The biker gang end if you're less lucky. Worse if you're unlucky.

Succumbing to positive peer pressure is a good thing. If you're friends aren't into it, then go have fun doing what they're into. Compared to walking in the woods with your child, psychedelics are not very high on the scale of profundity.

Does anyone here have experience with ibogaine? A close friend recently went to Mexico to do ibogaine therapy and she says it's changed her life, mostly for the better.

They have actual clinics in Mexico where they hook you up to an IV of the drug (oral ingestion problematic for whatever reason) and assign you a trip-sitter who has two jobs: for the first hour or two, when the drug makes you ill in an ayahuasca-like way, they help you get through it, go to and from the bathroom, etc. For the second part, which lasts around eight hours, the trip-sitter just hangs out and chats with you.

According to my friend, it was an emotionally much deeper journey than ayahuasca, with much more pronounced long-term results.

Evidently it gets rid of a lot of your deep-seated emotional and psychological issues (specifically, she says she's parted with "a shitload of petty little grudges against random people"), but it also, as she puts it, "takes all of your armor off". For example she reports that aggressive drivers used to be a source of mild amusement, but now she gets very saddened and anxious when another driver gives her the finger and refuses to let her change lanes.
How Marketing Automation and Twitter Mix
The consensus is that Social Security is fixable, mostly. You wouldn't need to pay too much more into it in some manner to make it sustainable. They may need to raise the age again, but since none of the hard decisions have to be made for 10-15 years down the line, no one is making them.

Healthcare is one of the bigger problems. Maybe the ACA will "bend the curve" enough to make it more sustainable. If not, then more cost cuts or higher wage taxes are the future for that. At least the issue is looking better now than it was 5-10 years ago.

None of these are as important as making sure we don't end up in some kind of $1-2Tn war or wreck the environment enough with global warming that we have major infrastructure and agriculture issues.

I'm not sure where you're getting this from. Traditional watches have seen way more potential challengers than just the Apple Watch, and managed to survive nonetheless. You can think "yeah, but this time it's different," but try to think of it from the point of view of somebody whose been making and selling watches to people his whole life in an industry that's been making and selling watches for hundreds of years, as part of a company that's probably been around for at least a hundred years itself. These guys know a thing or two about why people buy watches.

Rebooted, and the USB port did not work. Shut it down and left it for half an hour, and, yay, all working again.

Disassembled the adapter. Turned out to be a dummy used for display. No guts, just a steel bar across all four pins of the USB connector. Looked real from the outside.

Directions for taking notes on a computer:

- Create a folder.

- Create notes as files named like tweets `my note #javascript #yolo.txt`.

- Write markdown in plain text files.

- Open the folder from your choice of editor.

- Distribute your notes folder using Git, Dropbox, Drive, etc.

- Enjoy your notes FOREVER.

Atom works great when you need your notes in a Desktop environment. The command line is wonderful when you are on a server. Byword is amazing on iPhone. Nothing great I've found for Android yet.
> Watches might become relegated to being statements for the fashion conscious.

When have they ever not been? The watch, even back in it's heyday as something you carried around in your pocket, has always been a status-first, function-second fashion accessory. It has always been much, much cheaper to use the established methods of telling time, most villages first infrastructure investment was a town clock, once those became cost-effective to build.

It has only been very recently where it became fashionable for everyone to wear one, and that's only because of cheap electronic watches. Cheap electronic watches had the inevitable effect of whetting appetite for luxury options. Casio was the best thing that ever happened to luxury watch makers.

> In Hearthstone, on the other hand, there's no practical reason that Blizzard couldn't keep selling its entire line of cards directly for as long as the game exists.

There's no _technical_ reason why they can't continue to sell all of the types of cards however they aren't introducing scarcity for the sake of it, or as (just) a money grab.

When they design a new card they have to ensure that it fits with the other cards in the game, tweaking the effects it has so that it isn't too powerful when combined with existing cards. This becomes increasingly difficult as the number of cards increases. The "Standard" mode changes announced today make their job a lot easier as they only have to consider the last 2 years worth of cards (+ classic + basic cards) when designing new cards.

IMHO this will be a net positive for the game.
In my undergrad studies in college, Facebook groups were commonly used as a way to create light weight shared group pages for study groups, projects, etc. I could see this being useful in the business world working in the same way.

Specifically, most of the time someone would make a group for a study group and then everyone would use the group page to post meeting times, relevant files, etc. Group chats were used for quick communication, etc.

The benefit this has over something like Slack is that it is something everyone is used to and comfortable with already. People, for the most part, understand what a group page is and how to post on one. People get how to send an IM or start a group chat. There is virtually no learning curve.
It does, from a USB C cable. Unfortunately, the fast-charging protocol for USB A (USB Battery Charging 1.2) needs a USB 3.1 controller, which the Nexus 5x doesn't support; hence, the slow charging with an A -> C cable, even if it's a 3.1 SuperSpeed cable.

I've been using this for a few months. My favourite thing is that it supports `ex` commands, and if you have a cheap pedal from Deal Extreme or Alibaba or whatever, you can get your Vim toggle powers real easily. I programmed mine to emit `C-f` and did just this:

It's not fancy, but it lets me toggle between Insert and Normal in a useful enough way.

One unfortunate thing is that being in Wasavi mode won't get your auto-save in Gmail, etc. I made that mistake once months ago and disabled it there ever since.

> the dark night of the soul

I always understood this as an emptiness rather than as a "bad trip."

"The dark night of the soul" usually occurs after you feel like you have made spiritual progress, in whatever tradition you practice, and then to have it suddenly disappear.

The dark night of the soul is a period of disconnection, of feeling as if you have been abandoned by God, of not knowing how to get back on track.

Because having all your work related communication on Facebook's servers is certainly something you want as a company.
I think it's important not to understate the importance of placebo in the effects, but psychedelics can lead you to confront the problems in your life in a way that you simply can't otherwise. These confrontations can be so profound and emotional that they leave a permanent impact on you. If you wrestle with the problems in your life, identify them as caused by ADHD symptoms, and commit to solve them while on LSD, you'll end up being very motivated to solve them.

This experience can be as impactful as when people "find god" while struggling through something and then finally find the willpower to overcome it. Actually it can be more impactful; consider that a psychedelic user perceives that they are meeting with God and God is directly telling them what they need to change and how they need to do it, while the born-again Christian has only thoroughly convinced himself that his own will is actually God's will instilled within him, via faith. The psychedelic experience is much more powerful and much less fragile than the religious experiences that we are used to hearing about helping people through hardships.

And ADHD is a condition whose effects can be entirely overcome through willpower.

Suppose you had to choose between Facebook and Sharepoint? Or maybe a really field-besotted Jira.
Yep, NPM is transitioning to flat in V3. Partly because of the nested folder limits in Windows, partly to reduce the ridiculous amount of dependency nesting that occurs with the current model.

JSPM already uses a flat dependency structure. If you look at how it maps dependencies (and specific versions of dependencies) in config.js it makes a lot of sense. The only feature it's missing is the ability to easily search and list multiple versions of the same dependency.
I have been trying "Facebook at Work" at work. As we already had a Facebook group for the company it made sense.

This is not a tool to compete with LinkedIn. It is a tool that competes with e-mail/mail lists.

Somethings now make much more sense. From a security point of view, in a company over one thousand employees, it is easier to add or remove employees as they are hired or they left the company.
Also it is easier to share work content for a limited audience while using your private Facebook account in a more casual way.

The main problem is that people doesn't have so much interest in checking what's in there. We have already other communication methods like the old good mail. So "Facebook at Work" is just another one to add to the list.

If you add it to your phone - I have done that - you will get notifications as the usual app. One of the problems is that you also will get them on weekends or when on vacations. That is not ideal.

As any social tool it requires a lot of fine tuning and also to match the culture and preferences of the company.
Probably it is a good move for Facebook taking into account cost/benefit, but it is never easy with social tools as Facebook competitors have seen in the past.

The gender bias this employee claims to have encountered is rampant across SV.

At 2 previous tech companies I've encountered the most insane discrimination: senior management openly declaring that they favor women over men, non-whites over whites. I could probably topple one of the companies in which that happened if I took them to court as it would mean them never being able to hire anyone talented again.

The thing is, anyone who tries to sue becomes persona non grata in the industry. Friends at one big SV tech company have both independently told me that they google new hires and any hint of something off, especially a lawsuit or anything legal means instant blacklisting from the hiring committee.
