> You know what makes modern physics true? Falsifiability and verifiability. You build a theory, make predictions, develop an experiment, and then conduct the experiment, multiple times. Climatology stops after the first two.

This is, obviously and demonstrably, wrong. The data is out there, the methodologies are out there, and there is tons of related open-source software. You can conduct your own experiments and come to your own conclusions.

This guy [1][2], for example, did, and imagine what: he independently verified what 99% of climate scientists have been saying.

Why don't you give it a go? Put your money where your mouth is and see for yourself what is true and what isn't.

I disagree. The confusion in this space is extremely high.

Paypal -- basically a luckbox.

Optimizely -- commodity, trouble hitting numbers, getting crushed.

I've been using Slack (https://slack.com/) for a while too... it does everything useful, and everything it doesn't do natively, there's an integration for. You can do:

- Private chat with one or more parties

- Open Group chat via channels (both private and public channels)

- Voice/Video via numerous integrations including Bluejeans, Appear.in, Skype, Hangouts, you name it.

- ChatOps via services like IFTT & Zapier or even your own custom bridge into your network.

- Get notifications right in Slack from your source control, build servers, JIRA, Confluence and any number of other services via webhook integrations.

- A billion other wicked cool integrations (https://slack.com/apps) that allow you to do just about anything, including the eternally useless, often inappropriate and highly amusing Giphy.

- It's free(ish)... the featureset is restricted on the free account, but it has enough to be useful to small startups even of adhoc members. For teams there is a small per user/per month charge which unlocks a wealth of enterprise ready features.

- It's searchable

Highly recommended and well worth a look for small and large teams alike.
Absolutely, a recent recording of an iTunes U course had a professor commenting on the projection of homosexuality in ancient scripts where a Roman Emperor had an appreciation for a male individual. The professor noted that a number of professors wanted to label the relationship homosexual, but he disagreed and noted that other types of relationships exist.

That being said, Hans Hermann von Katte and Friedrich the 2nd were lovers.

I think it's even simpler than that. They don't even expect it to be an original joke. This is just the skynet meme. Memes like this get repeated ad infinitum in comment sections like youtube's. People recognize some pattern (e.g. robot abuse), pull out the most appropriate meme from their meme basket, see it also being pulled out by others, and have a sense of belonging & social reinforcement.
As I've watched these videos over the years, it's been impossible, especially now, for me to not see how these and other such robots will replace and eventually extinct all humans.

In theory, a family of 4 humans could run a global economy run by robots and no humans. That's a sort of ridiculous, maximal state, but what makes any of us think that, given a continuum from the current state to that maximal state, we won't be somewhere closer to that state in 30 years, especially when considering the unreasonably effectiveness of rent seeking on technology-driven monopolies (e.g., Amazon)?

Amazon's streaming music competitor is awful. The apps are bad, the web UI is bad, the selection isn't as big, and the audio quality is middle-of-the-pack. In general, it's a "oh right, I have that Amazon service because I have Prime"; a similar comparison would be Prime Video to Netflix.

Spotify is better off in most ways (their desktop app still sucks, but the web UI is better).

The modern NHS system in the UK was the biggest fuck up I have ever seen. I worked with people who also worked on the project. They are seriously amazing people but apparently all the layers of management, red tape and politics was, according to my friends, the worst they have ever experienced. Two friends were so traumatised by the experience they ended up taking 2 years off work to travel/recover.

The sad thing is it shouldn't have been such a difficult thing to develop. Complex sure but no more complex than many other similar systems. It was destroyed by too much meddling from the government adding, removing and changing the spec every other day and many, many managers just finding non-sense jobs that were totally pointless.

It is shocking it went so over budget and was allowed to continue doing so for so, so long.

IANAL. That said, here's my armchair, never-done-it analysis from Canada: That is what a W8 form is for. So if you have an individual account with a US bank, the bank knows you aren't a US resident, meaning you don't actually reside in the US. Now, as someone non-American but connected to a company doing business, that's another W8 or W9 form. But even then, while you might have reporting obligations to the IRS as an individual (I'm not sure) your company definitely would, as in all scenarios, a US based company is considered a "US person" even if it has foreign shareholders. That you pay taxes on the company should reduce the need to pay taxes as an individual. If you reside in the US more than 50% (IIRC) of a year, you become a US resident even if you don't have a special visa or citizenship. If you don't actually live that long in the US it's easy to argue that you're not connected to the US, but you will likely have to self-report that. It might be a question of how you get paid too. If you set up a subsidiary C-Corp where dividends go back to the parent company, you'll pay taxes on the profits and taxes at home, but as mentioned elsewhere, you shouldn't pay more tax than your rate in both countries, whichever is higher. This is the cost of doing business -- taxes. Alternatively, you could work remotely for the company, thus taking profits before they are subject to tax. This is a more complicated structure and you might end up paying more taxes, it depends on the income brackets at your local jurisdiction. The reason you consult is not because US law is complicated but because most legal systems internationally do not have easy ways of dealing with US company income for taxation. LLCs can be especially interesting internationally, because their tax obligations can change based on how they declare themselves on the IRS form.

>The past 15 years especially have seen a more or less constant stream of scandals where people at the top of societies power structures very clearly acted badly or even broke laws, yet nobody was ever held to account ... except those who tried to reveal the wrongdoing.

I find this argument baffling when applied to the EU.

Most of the scandals were in the banking and finance industries, not - say - the EU parliament.

The Greek debacle, which was probably the biggest failure of the EU since its creation, was created by the EU's banking and finance industries.

Perhaps it's the industry that's the problem, and not Europe itself?

Not that the EU isn't remote, but it's not so remote that it has no interest in promoting standards of human rights legislation.

By a remarkable coincidence, a key foundation of Brexit is the dismissal of the EU's requirement to treat workers in a civilised manner as "Brussels red tape".

As for Trump - the idea that you can dethrone an Establishment run by and for narcissistic billionaires by electing another narcissistic billionaire seems entirely fantastic.

If Trump is elected, the US establishment will be happy to do business with him, as usual.

Sanders may be a tougher nut to crack, which is why he can't be allowed to win - and why the idea that these candidates "challenge the Establishment" is nonsense, when no Establishment policy is under any serious threat in this election. (Or any other.)

The JavaScript Tooling Problem
One thing that's really disappointing is that more and more sites are hiding pricing information until you sign-up. That feels like at least a gray if not a dark pattern. For me that's a terrible first impression. It's a sign that I have to look out for further deception, even if that's not the intention.

I'm guessing that A/B testing shows this to be more profitable than being upfront with pricing?

To echo shrikant, I also don't have this issue at my place of employment. Perhaps it's a setting at the administrative level? I can only agree with you that Skype for business is a pretty lackluster tool, and it's a real shame that the company I work for pays for it. To make things worse, there's apparently a separate, more expensive license required to do video/audio chat. This means that for remote meetings I have to not only sign in through SfB (for screen sharing and generally knowing who's in a meeting), but I have to use my desk phone to dial into a conference call. Yuck.
There are viable alternatives to Skype.

I've been using Slack (https://slack.com/) for a while too... it does everything useful that you could ask of a chat application and works very much like IRC worked back in the day. Everything it doesn't do natively, there's an integration for, just like with IRC bots.

- Private chat with one or more parties

- Open Group chat via channels (both private and public channels)

- Voice/Video via numerous integrations including Bluejeans, Appear.in, Skype, Hangouts, you name it.

- It's free(ish)... the featureset is restricted on the free account, but even with the free account it has enough to be seriously useful to even loosely defined teams of adhoc members. For enterprise requirements there is a small per user/per month charge which unlocks a wealth of enterprise ready features.

- It's archivable & searchable

Highly recommended and well worth a look for small and large teams alike.

It's more targeted at teams, but for circles of friends, it works nicely too. Because of the way it's structured, it works more like a web based, centrally hosted IRC server than Skype, as such it doesn't really have the same network effect, but it's so much more flexible than Skype in every other respect.

The tricky part there is that it wouldn't work if you just sat there in a tight look dispatching http requests, any one of them timing out would, likely, trigger the deadline and make all subsequent http requests not happen.

So, alternatively, you could do something with DynamoDB event sources, where you have some sort of pub/sub table that your lambda functions listen on (basically a list of all the http requests that have to happen) - thus keeping a minimal 1 lambda dispatch per http request. The catch is you would need another system to manage that table (technically that system can be lambda itself).

Two important things, 1) I haven't used the dynamodb/lambda integration myself so be skeptical of my suggestion and 2) what I can say from our usage of the s3/lambda integration is that concurrency is not a problem with thousands of lambda dispatches/second being surprisingly quick to spin up.
I gave up on Skype screen sharing forever ago. Even with good connections it would pixelate and distort to being illegible too often.

I, frankly haven't found Hangouts much better. We've all but given up on them and use a combo of a free-ish conference app like Uber Conference and Join.Me, Slack, and FaceTime for audio. Except for the one guy with Android, that I then wind up actually having to call from my phone. Ugh, who wants to use a phone these days?

Is that the link you intended to post? Because all it shows is that only around 40% of the public trust the media (and of those that distrust the media, a substantial proportion don't trust the media because they don't think it's liberal enough). Most people are perfectly capable of distrusting both the media and the candidate that is indisputably advocating points they disagree with. Some of them distrust the media because they think it's giving Trump an easy ride.

Sure, there is a demographic that sees negative coverage of Trump (and Sanders) as proof he must be the only totally honest guy with real, serious policies. But it isn't 3/5 of the population, or anything close.

I mean, you'd probably find the figure for British citizens that trust the media to be at least as low. Trouble is, trust in people that the media widely dislike is even lower, and so they still lose.

That's what my ex-girlfriend claimed, because she never actually observed animals behaving, "the animals are so peaceful." Then as she was in the park, she was witness of, named with the human-related names, a violent prolonged gang-rape of one female duck by the group of male ducks.

The female duck was wounded, repeatedly and observably. My girlfriend was deeply shocked.

By the way, a male duck has a 20-cm corkscrew-shaped penis and he can pull it out in a third of a second:

The QR codes probably encode behavioral scripts to apply to an object that the robot encounters. So a box with one QR code may mean that the robot should attempt to pick it up even after interruption. A different QR code may mean that the robot should give up if it is interrupted when picking up the box. A different QR code may mean pick up box and move it to self. A QR code next to a door may mean that the robot should exit it automatically when it gets within a certain distance of it.

From https://stripe.com/atlas/faq#Do-I-have-to-use-Stripe:

Do I have to use Stripe?

No, but we hope you will!
While I don't have much to add, this is very interesting and almost feels patriotic (as an American.) Stripe is, in a way, hacking the global economy and luring entrepreneurs to the do business in the United States. While this iteration may fall short of perfection, or open questions, it also opens up some imagination and interesting ideas or possibilities.

Could this be the beginning of startups offering citizens of one country, the ability to (easily) incorporate / operate a business from any nation? Perhaps this is more interesting when considering crypto-currencies which are already eroding national boundaries in some sense. While I cannot say this is a good or bad thing, it is interesting to think about the consequences and evolution of this concept plus crypto.

To me, the idea of operating a business (pseudo-person or entity) in any nation, is intriguing. Especially mixing in the possibilities of Ethereum, Blockchains. Forex. Hm... Imagination running wild right now.

Depending know how horrible it gets that starts to affect maintainability and development of new features.
I used Thunderbird daily for the better part of a decade until about 3 months ago. It's nothing personal against the project, which is currently the best serious desktop mail client available afaik. It's simply that Mozilla doesn't care about it anymore since everyone uses webmail now. Thunderbird is doing feature releases about once a year now [0], and Mozilla has pulled most (all?) of its full-time developers [1]. A few months ago, Mitchell Baker sent a message that said they were looking to detach Mozilla from the project completely, partially because it didn't have enough industry-wide impact to be worth Mozilla's resources [2].

The sad fact is that desktop mail clients are going away, and even the big projects like Thunderbird are barely limping along, which I guess is slightly nicer terminology than "pretty much dead"?
