I can only say that you get what you pay for, private vs. public non-withstanding. I don't put it past any private company to put in an unrealistically low bid, and hope for one of three exit strategies (based on what I've seen in my short lifetime):

1) Bill the difference later, resulting in huge overruns.
2) Be out of the picture when the hits the fan.
3) Declare bankruptcy, all stakeholders walk away with their gains
Is there any research into less contrast being better? I keep trying to convince my boss that this is the case, but I can't find a study to back it up. My argument has always been that today's UIs are generally not using 100% contrast, so people set up their screen brightness to match that - when you then come with 100% black on white, it is too extreme on these same screen settings.
I argue leaking SSH key is not the worst nightmare but definitely one of the top five on anyone's list. I am more worried about source code and database leaks through development cycle. Copied production data to dev environment and clone source code to your laptop. How does Google/Facebook handle this? I can't imagine anyone cloning their 30G or whatever size single-branch repository down to laptop (they may do shallow clone but doesn't matter).
The fallacy of composition.

If everyone made more money, everyone would be better off, right? Except in order for this to happen, everyone would need to charge more for their goods and services, so prices would rise and the raises everyone got would be sucked up by rising prices, leaving everyone in the same place as where they started, relatively.

The sad truth is that every economy must pick winners and losers. If everyone wins, no one wins.

Whether this selection process aligns with productivity determines the trajectory of nations. Productivity measures actual wealth creation, and hopefully politics does not lag too far behind it.
I've used a CNC mill as a drill press when drilling a hole crosswise through a small tool steel shaft. Drill presses have too much slop in the spindle bearings for that. I'd tried doing it in a drill press, but couldn't get it centered precisely enough. On the mill I could use a machinists vise, V-blocks, and position precisely.

(A useful setup I had back in my DARPA Grand Challenge days was a drill press with a cheap calibrated hand-crank X-Y table. When you need patterns of holes to mount something, that's an easy way to get the holes in the right places.)

If you sell me food, I expect it is what you say it is. The horse is irrelevant beyond that it is cheap meat. I would be incredibly annoyed if I purchase American Grass Fed Beef and received Italian Pork disguised as beef.

As for some animals being more protected over others: sometimes, in a democracy, you just have to roll with the majority. We tend not to like our pets to be eaten.
> And if that's how the world works, then why the criticism of "whitey" being shaken down?

I'm not criticizing it per se. I'm trying to describe Diversity Inc. as a much simpler phenomenon than it's being made out to be. It's a battle between two groups with a conflict of interests, and one of those groups isn't even taking its own side in the fight. It sounds simplistic, but without an understanding of the basic political dynamics at work, there's not much use bickering over the details.

As for who is the "best" candidate for a given role, I didn't comment on that, but human interactions and group dynamics are highly complex phenomena. The problem as you described it may turn out to be unsolvable. This raises the question of who exactly benefits from these futile attempts to solve it. See above.

I am sure this happens widely and in many cases, the woman's consent isn't even taken, post-wedding is when the first conversation takes place. I agree this is unacceptable but in most metros, with less-conservative households, expectation is that they take their time before having a final say.

It seems odd to blame BitBucket and not Surf for this.
I'm not sure that is true. I suspect it has a lot to do with the market. Anywhere that ebay dominates the online auction / trading business - maybe. Elsewhere, (such as NZ where ebay use is dwarfed by trademe) paypal account holders won't be nearly as common.
>If you sell me food, I expect it is what you say it is. The horse is irrelevant beyond that it is cheap meat.

I agree that food should be labeled honestly. People who engage in that kind of dishonesty should be punished. But the high pitch of the outrage was very clearly because of the horse-meat taboo.

>As for some animals being more protected over others: sometimes, in a democracy, you just have to roll with the majority.

I agree, I certainly don't think people should break those laws. It's not a cause worthy of rebellion and all the harm it does. But that can't be an argument in favor of the majority's position. That would be an argument from majority, a logical fallacy. Bad ideas should be refuted.

Bitbucket dev here, I am truly sorry to hear that Mike. I've been an Atlassian for almost a decade and "legendary support" has always been something that we've prided ourselves on, so it hurts to hear about your experience! I'm not sure how long it's been, but things have hopefully improved since last time you checked out Bitbucket - the unification of Bitbucket.org with Bitbucket Server (née Stash) has meant a lot of refurbishment of the front-end code, much of which is now common across products. Our front-end and design teams have grown a lot more muscle too. If you have any specific feedback about the UI/UX I'd love to pass it on to the team.

May be true, but it really depends on the definition of "works out well". In particular, there's still a very strong taboo against divorce in most of India, so "remains married" isn't a good proxy for "high-quality relationship".

If you said: Most tickets are issued to drivers that habitually break laws, that would be defensible.
From the research I've done, the main safety concern was Bute given to horses, and it seems like it's actually very rare for horsemeat to test positive for it and that when present, the amounts are not significant. Am I missing something?

>Also people do seem pretty clear on not eating animals which are also widely kept as pets, with the exception perhaps of rabbit.

I understand that apprehension. I'd probably have the same apprehension if a plate of dog meat was put in front of me, at least at first. I've had pet dogs and I cared a lot about them. But to throw someone else in jail over it? That ruins families, childhoods, and lives. Just so we can live with the fantasy that Fluffy is a person.

I'd avoid eating anything in Venice unless you know a local.

They'll charge foreigners one price, people from the Veneto another, and locals a third (cheaper) price. And that's if it's a decent place to eat, rather than one of the many very tourist-oriented locales where anyone local would never set foot.
At the very least, services are popping up to help researchers get credit for peer review, like Publons (https://publons.com/), along with journals that publish peer review, like Nature Communication as of a recent announcement: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/151214/ncomms10277/full/nc...

I wonder what chemical reactions occur inside our brains and bodies when we "fall in love." Reminds me of Rick and Morty, which refers to love as purely a symptom of secreting oxytocin.
I find the scenario believable, but I think the mechanism by which the 'good' politician is getting sacked is more complex. I think s/he is getting sacked because s/he spent a lot of political capitol on a difficult undertaking that doesn't bring much credit back to her/him. Improving decaying infrastructure doesn't insert a positive 'this politician accomplished' association into many voters minds. S/he's just doing the things that voters assume happen on their own anyway. On the other hand, the 'bad' politician that ignored the issue had a nice extra bit of political capitol to spend on flashier issues like crime, lowering taxes, etc.

So, rather than it being a "the people have spoken" situation, I think that the situation is driven by constraints on public attention for political issues. I don't think you would get many voters endorsing continued poisoning of the population when a marginal increase (or reshifting) of taxes could address the issue. Rather I think that it is rarely ever politically advantageous to spearhead these kind of issues (that is until it explodes into an attention grabbing crisis, as is now the case with Flint lead poisoning).

We can see this sort of thing in microcosm in office politics as well. How often are we complaining about always being reactionary and putting out fires instead of proactively taking care of problems before they can cause a lot of damage? Well, once a fire starts, everyone is keen to figure out what's causing it and how to deal with it. But recognizing the pre-conditions that could potentially lead to a fire, and then eliminating them sound much more boring[1], and often requires a concerted information campaign just to get people invested in supporting the mitigation. But if there's an actual [2] fire, people are immediately interested by the inherent drama of the situation, and attention is no longer a barrier to overcome.

[1] even that description of it sounded much more boring than the bit about fire!
[2] an 'actual' figurative 'fire'. I know the wording is sub-optimal, but I'm pot committed to this metaphor so...
My understanding of the situation (which I'm not involved with since I'm no longer Berkeley faculty, but I follow because I was in the past) is that the office of the president (UC-wide, not just UCB) ordered the systems installed and specifically out of the control (and over the objections) of UCB IT services.

It can be more accurate - although modern browsers require you to grant location access permission.

Pasting this into the javascript console of a browser (just tested in Chrome and Safari):

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos){console.log(pos)})

Then feeding the latitude and longitude into Streetview it gives me (after granting location permission) the front door of the building next door.

Note that if you can come up with a convincing explanation for why an unsuspecting user should click the location request popup, this'll defeat the VPN as a means of hiding your location... "Click here and allow location access to see hot girls ready to meet in your area!"

You seem to be saying digital cameras aren't "real cameras". Can you define what makes a camera real? How will the difference be visible in the final pictures? Would a high resolution digital camera with a "film filter" applied to the pictures be just as good?

Like the comment in the article, you're not very clear on what "quality" means. What makes a photo soulless or 2 dimensional? This guy's photos certainly had out of focus backgrounds which I think is one way to indicate 3D depth. Would it help it he used an actual 3D camera and presented them for viewing on a 3D monitor?

To be honest, it sounds like you're frustrated that a skill you've perhaps spent a lot of time and money on has become easily available to everyone and thus lost most of its value. That happens in life and it's not the end of the world as long as you keep developing yourself. Just ask a programmer.
If there is no government regulation to impose restrictions by force, then a requirement that doesn't add value can't increase profits, because customers won't accept it; there will always be some competitor who sees the potential to out-compete you by not having a requirement that customers don't want.

Yeah the GOTO got a bad rap, if someone used it wrong it would have unpredicted results by goting to the wrong part of the program. It confused beginners so it was to be avoided.

People forgot that any language gets converted into assembly language and it has JMP or JUMP statements in them that basically do the same thing as a GOTO in a higher level language.

I wrote Visual BASIC 6.0 code and in order to trap errors we had a On Error Goto ErrorHandler: where we had an error handling routine that would do a customized message box to give the user more information on the error and prevent the program from ending. I would give recruiters samples of my VB code and it had On Error Goto and they saw the Goto and told me I shouldn't be using it.

VB.Net did away with Gotos and did the try/catch borrowed from Java to catch errors.

I remember learning Ada in 1989 and it used Goto statements as well. Modern Ada avoids Goto statements.

Programming without using Goto is harder and in some cases needs more lines of code.

There was never any real evidence that Goto was harmful, as the article states people accepted it was harmful without any proof. The decisions to not use Goto was decided by managers with no real world programming experience.
Exactly. We don't have a cost problem, we have a supply and demand problem. Larger supply of doctors, nurses, generic drugs and competition will naturally drive down price.

One of my Indian friends now living in North America recently got married to a girl via an arranged marriage. He claimed that sex wasn't important to him, yet he's a self-proclaimed porn addict. To each his own, but I wonder about how his wife will feel if his addiction continues and he grows cold and distant. Before getting married he had only met her briefly face-to-face on a visit back home.

Edit: sexual compatibility is very important.

> * it is hard to imagine this not costing 10s of thousands of dollars and being out of the reach of most high school and college students.*

I would be surprised if Gage and his parents have spent more than $10,000 of their personal money on this hobby. Again, cost near that range is certainly significant, but not monetarily immense for a middle class kid with a consuming hobby and supportive parents over the course of 7+ years.

Gage has been frugal in his choice of college, and gets funding from GoFundMe campaigns. He also seems to have had side jobs. Simply choosing to attend a community college and then an in-state public university as Gage has done -- rather than a private university for 4 years -- is probably enough to defray a huge portion of his hobby's cost.

I suspect Gage is also frugal in his means of travel and lodging. A sibling comment mentions the possibility of photographing candidates that come within a day or two trip of home. I imagine that accounts for most of Gage's photography.

Consider this note from [2]: "Skidmore is a 19-year-old student at Glendale Community College in Phoenix and a freelance graphic designer. A Ron Paul supporter, he began photographing politicians when he was living in Terre Haute, Indiana, attending events held by Rand Paul during his successful 2010 Senate run in Kentucky." The drive from Terre Haute, IN to Lexington, KY is about 4 hours. That's completely doable in a day trip. I've driven 4 hours each way in day trips for similar free culture pursuits. It costs about $80 for gas and food.

> "between states to more than 40 speaking engagements."

Travel among multiple US states to attend 40 speaking engagements over the course of 7 years is not necessarily a major financial burden, even for someone Gage's age.

> "I traveled to nearly every part of the country to cover his political events"

"Part" can be pretty general. One could have covered events in Arizona, Iowa, New Hampshire and, say, Virginia and say one has traveled to nearly every part of the country -- the American West, Midwest, Northeast and South.

> "Skidmore is hot on the campaign trail again, toggling his time between New Hampshire, Iowa, and Arizona"

I think it's much more likely that Gage has been to New Hampshire and Iowa each once or twice in the 2016 campaign season, rather than flying out every weekend or so like a high-level political operative or corporate executive from his Arizona State University dorm room.

If the organization doing the safety checks doesn't have government force on its side, it only has an incentive to do safety checks that its customers will pay for. It can always try to think up new checks and try to convince customers that they're worth paying for; private businesses do that now. But it's still the customer's choice. If the checks are mandated by the government, then the customer doesn't have a choice, and the organization making the checks now doesn't have to convince customers; it only has to convince the government, which experience suggests is much easier.

Day trip from Padova or elsewhere, and bring sandwiches along. There are trains that run pretty late, so you can spend a long day there. If needs be, there are some ok pizza options and things like that near Campo Santa Margherita.

But you'll get much more for your money by eating somewhere outside of Venice, unless you know someone.

I lived in Padova for 15 years, speak fluent Italian, and the only time I ever felt like a got a good meal there was when I went to a place with a local my wife knew who did all the talking for us.

Just remember that by doing that, you're betting on the US economy's perpetual growth, as diluted by outside influences (like China...) If increased globalization stands to average global wealth (which it seems to be, except for the 1%) then I'm not sure growth is a good bet, over the long term.

How much do these government regulations increase the average price of a funeral? How do we know the extra protection is worth the cost?
Definitely agree. IIRC, the biggest yearly loss for the Dow was 52% in 1931. While I would HATE to lose 50% of my wealth, the point is that with $50m I can EASILY ride that loss out and give it time to recover in a few years. Now, if I only had $50k in the market and was planning on using all of it on a big purchase that particular year (e.g. home down payment, child's college tuition), a 50% loss could be devastating.

Volatility doesn't seem to have as much power when the potential losses are not great enough to cripple you.
Separating the two sentences that you did from the comment as a whole weakens the argument that the poster was making. You don't address the point they made about people having no qualms about eating pig meat while simultaneously forbidding the consumption of cat and dog meat. I don't see how this is a rational position.

>Also there seems to be a pretty clear dividing line between pets and food.

Maybe in the time and place in which you exist, but in others the distinction is not the same. I have a pet dog, but I also enjoy bosintang. Is there a rational basis for why I can't have bosintang in the US?
