I was going to make a similar argument, but then I lost faith in what ls' job is, if we want to walk this really pedantic path.

After all, `echo * * / * ` is going to give you an ugly dump of space-separated files; while `ls * * / * ` will give you a pretty list with colours, ownership, permissions, date modified, is directory/exec/symlink, etc. with their respective flags or according to your alias.

I don't think it's cheating to argue that `ls` job is to format the files given, or within given directory.

Edit: Although possibly it is, because `man ls` tells us "list directory contents".
> To say that centralization increases dramatically at 2 MB just isn't the case.

No one is saying that. Core's SegWit proposal also gives us an effective blocksize of ~2mb, the same as Classic - only without requiring a coordinated network-wide upgrade and without the risk of splitting the payment network and currency in two if everyone doesn't upgrade in time. This is the more responsible way to deploy such an upgrade, especially if you consider the capacity bump to be urgent. (a safe hard-fork would require a grace period of 6-12 months to wait for everyone to upgrade, and so would be much slower to roll out than SegWit)

Also, several of the Bitcoin Core members have committed to coding an hard-fork proposal for raising the block size limit within a few months, and to bring it up to the wider development community to gather consensus.

I do agree that this isn't about the technical issues, but about control. The bitcoin development community has been very responsive and insightful throughout the scaling debate, and has provided us with great technical solutions to some very difficult problems. The ones opposing the Bitcoin Core development community seem to disregard the technical merit of their proposals in favor of repeating personal attacks, conspiracy theories and toxicity. This is creating an hostile environment that developers will start running away from... which is a shame, because we don't really have any developers to spare - people with intersection of the domain knowledge required to work on Bitcoin (cryptography, distributed networks, game theory, economics, computer science, etc) are VERY rare.
Zoning tends to prevent that natural densification and mixed use, and NIMBYs want to protect their property values. People get long commutes because it's too expensive to live close to work.

It's definitely done on purpose.

Well, another alternative is to move somewhere closer to your current workplace and a fourth alternative is to get a job that's closer to your current home.

"Out of 4,063 pilots, not a single airman fit within the average range on all 10 dimensions."

"If you’ve designed a cockpit to fit the average pilot, you’ve actually designed it to fit no one."
Excellent observations across the board.

I'd take slight exception to this:

> Seriously, the very concept of a blockchain split undermines the description of Bitcoin as a decentralized protocol, because it requires out-of-band resolution. Who are the out-of-band resolvers? The centralization.

Well, in the original architecture as proposed, each individual user - or at least every fullnode operator - is also a miner. So there "should be" something like 5000-10,000 miners by now (based on current numbers of miners and fullnodes) none with much of a hashpower advantage over the others.

In that environment, conflict resolution would - could only - move forward in a "one man, one cpu, one vote" fashion, with "majority rule" controlling the blockchain.
Trust results. For some people the best medicine is guided by some change from within. I believe that as far as positive outcomes are concerned (ruling out helpful communities and other factors) the actual reason that placebos and that any organized system of belief work for some people is the same. They want to, and believe that they will, get better; thus they do, or at least they learn to cope. It's pretty much a psychological solution.

You can talk your way out of some problems; but not all problems. Some things require physical changes driven by external (alien to the self) forces.

This 1922 New York Times article was apparently the first description of Hitler in the US media. What they highlight is his rhetorical ability, his control of the crowd

Scan: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A0CE0D91E...

Text: https://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=84984

His simple method is, first, propaganda, and secondly,
efficient organization. He personally conducts patriotic
revival meetings for this purpose, often descending from
his stronghold Munich, on other Bavarian towns with special
train-loads of followers. He has the rare oratorical gift,
at present unique in Germany, of spellbinding whole
audiences regardless of politics or creed.
...
Hitler's strength is in the combination of his undeniable
great gifts as an orator and organizer. He exerts an
uncanny control over audiences, possessing the remarkable
ability to not only rouse his hearers to a fighting pitch
of fury, but at will to turn right around and reduce the
same audience to docile calmness and good order. A typical
instance is related by the informant mentioned: "At the
height of the recent Bavarian Government crisis Hitler was
holding a mass meeting in Munich and had worked up the big
audience when a rumor spread through the hall that he had
planned a coup and that he would overthrow and seize the
Government that night and was about to give the signal at
this rally. His followers burst into an enthusiastic
uproar, drew and brandished blackjacks and revolvers, and
with shouts of 'Heil, Heil, Heil,' prepared to follow
Hitler and storm anything.

"With a few electric words he worked a magic change in the
audience. Their duty, on which the success of the cause
depended, he said, was iron discipline and implicit
obedience to orders when orders were given. The time for
action had not come yet. And the riot was nipped in the bud."

Dilbert creator Scott Adams has been running a series for the last 6 months in which he analyzes Trumps rhetorical agility as a "Master Persuader". Adams is masterful at persuasion himself, and I think it would be fair to describe him as "in awe" of Trumps powers.

While not a supporter, Adams considers Trump a "wizard", and has been confidently predicting Trumps eventual victory for some time now: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/126916006856/wizard-wars

He also explicitly brings up the comparison with Hitler: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/127793580186/trump-and-godwins-...

If you are confused by Trump's appeal (or perhaps even more importantly if you feel his appeal yourself) the whole series should be required reading:

Busses simply are the worst way of commuting. They're slow, they're shaking you around the most, they stop the most, they let in most cold air when stopping, they're usually the dirtiest and most unpunctual.

Busses simply suck.
>my lifestyle is simply incompatible with life in an apartment or tiny, semi-detached town house

But your lifestyle is compatible with spending 15 hours a week (60 hours a month, 700 hours per year, or the equivalent of 17 additional 40-hour workweeks annually) commuting?

I'm disinclined to just take someone's word on the internet that it's "clear" that Mozilla is "extremely focused". OP has more inner structure, a coherent theory of why lack of focus may arise. So it feels more compelling. Then again, I have personal complaints that I've aired elsewhere on this thread, so I might be biased.
It's better to lean on the side of consequences than freedom, given that their incentives are only partly aligned with the shareholders.

They'll do stupid M&A, plunder money on consultants and make up bullshit all for something to do. Management tends to be more of an autocracy than meritocracy and a good business needs to push against that.

If you are lenient and you give them time to figure it out - they just use that leniency on themselves instead of the company.

If the people entrusted with gauging consensus among the technical community and merging non-controversial patches only would show signs of bad faith or try to undermine the open consensus-driven process, the ecosystem would displace them with a new set of maintainers.

You have to remember that at the end of the day, Bitcoin Core is only able to write code and propose it for adoption by the wider ecosystem. The only code that matters in practice is the one being ran by network nodes. As we're seeing with Classic/XT/Unlimited today, competing teams can indeed emerge and try to build community support to alternative protocols.
It's the same discussion, as I was referring to "underpaid" in terms of a living wage, instead of "underpaid" in terms of an illegal wage. Also, what you suggested could only work if the restaurant owners knew how much their staff were being tipped, and for tips that go directly to the waiters that's not likely to be available information.

Any system that requires users to hold various different forms of money for various transaction sizes is doomed to fail to a single money that scales to essentially any transaction size or frequency. A single currency that can solve both micro- and macro-transactions will easily dominate a system of different kinds of money.

Sad to hear this happening. MIT IST was unparalleled when I was there. Everyone was knowledgeable, they would go out of their way to help regardless of whether or not it was within their job description, and they delivered a strong product that reliably powered the institute. Hopefully this isn't too disruptive, ultimately, although it sounds like a lot of damage is already done.

If that is such a huge concern then why is core proposing a hard-fork to change the way the difficulty is adjusted? [0] If they are for adjusting the difficulty computation why not raise the block size at the same time?

I've done 2 days a week of 2 hour commute and 3 days remote. It works, sort of. The 2 days in the office gives the social interactions and keeps relationships smooth. The 3 days remote provides calm time for productivity.
However, I've also worked 5 days in office with 7 minutes bike ride. This is incredibly good. Every day is shorter.
I will optimise any new job for shortest possible commute - it's really a winner.

It still leaves the discussion of “what motivates people in a non-profit economy?”. In the science community - probably more than anywhere else - this is peer recognition (which can eventually be turned into money in the form of higher research budgets / government grants / salaries).

As it’s perfectly established to compete for peer recognition online (Hackernews frontpage, Facebook likes, Retweets...) I think Sci-Hub can do wonders here. Why not introduce “Paper of the day”, “Most read article in Neuroscience this month”, “most discussed research”?
Franquin's Idées Noires is one of my all time favourite comics, and one of the one pagers dealt with the death penalty (France still had the death penalty at the time it was first published in Spirou in the last 70's), expressing a similarly effective approach to making it unpalatable.. [1].

A rough translation (my French is rusty - been a decade or two): "The law is clear: Anyone who intentionally kills another will lose their head. Let the executioner do his duty." "This way, my friend" "And so, a good deed done" "I'm sorry, but anyone who intentionally kills another..."

(Idées Noires is fantastic and macabre. Franquin kept "letting" people who causes suffering for other people - or animals - die horrible deaths in his panels, often with a solid dose of poetic justice in between other things, and coupled with rather caustic political commentary. Unfortunately, AFAIK I don't think there is an English translation (one was in the works), but even with quite modest French they're relatively easy to understand (many of them don't have much or any text))

Opera did it way better. It wasn't long ago that in markets with 2G and Edge, Opera Mini was as ubiquitous as WhatsApp is today. They really executed it brilliantly. I rem browsing webpages with 1MiB or more being reduced to 40KiB.
I went through a similar experience with Clipper and Turbo Pascal/Delphi, both were widely used and we thought they would last forever.

When doubts started to appear 20 years ago, companies slowly moved their new projects to other stacks.

They are still around and have been updated to more recent versions, but it hardly matters to most devs.

Oracle being careless with mobile OSes support and bringing out stupid enterprise frameworks like Oracle Mobile Application Framework, has made people even go back to C++ for writing portable code for mobile OSes.
It's very similar to _why's potion, for which I'm the maintainer now. I added lot's of internal documentation there, but haven't got to add type support (easy, but lof of work) and multi-threading (not easy with this GC). coros, exceptions however are there.
That makes no sense. If hell is for eternity, why would any religious nut care whether the criminal is executed sooner rather than let to rot and die in prison later? The end result would be the same.
"Core" is not proposing anything, that difficulty adjustment hard-fork proposal was brought up on the mailing list by a member of the community and is in early discussion stages. There's no consensus that this change is necessary, and there hasn't been an in-depth discussion about how and when it should be incorporated (if accepted) and whether it should be alongside the block-size hard-fork or separately.
I think I wasn't clear on the point. They need to communicate their story and the value of the service in every market, as well as start addressing the concerns proactively. There seems to be much more organization from the anit-AirBnB side than the pro-AirBnB side, so they should be investing much more in organization and lobbying as well. Local legislation is always determined by local voters, which is why they need to be seriously investing in a grass roots infrastructure.
OpenJDK is fully open source. Oracle JDK is built on OpenJDK but changes a few things here and there.

* Oracle JDK has a different font rasteriser, maybe some other bits like sound are different as well

* Oracle JDK has Flight Recorder support (that's a commercial feature)

* Oracle JDK supports both C1 and C2 JITs on ARM64, AFAIK an open source implementation of this is coming to OpenJDK 9, likely Oracle JDK will keep the existing implementation

* Oracle JDK has additional commercial features like resource management [2] and application class data sharing

OpenJDK vanilla is AFAIK not TCK-certified. However there are TCK-certified OpenJDK distributions [3].

TL;DR: OpenJDK is fully open source

I would say, rather, "depressingly".

I think the "arms length" chasing of return by pension and 401k funds (whether active or index funds) is a problem. Our money goes places and does things in pursuit of returns that we would never consent to if we had to knowingly make the decision.

IANAL and I am not familiar with NYPD protocol, plus without knowing all the details of the case (not to be rude, but I don't really care to know), it is hard to give a specific answer. Some ideas you may try though:

1. Request the detective's supervisor
2. Contact the victim advocate or an ombudsman for the department
3. Contact the district attorney's office and ask options
4. Speak to an attorney and get the attorney to put pressure on the police and/or city

If they haven't done anything for 6 months as you say, there is something else going on. The individual could be part of a bigger criminal investigation that they have not shared with you. Or you are just stuck in a legal limbo of sorts. There could be some gray area around how the individual's information was found using that software that prohibits the police from acting on it. They could have also filed paperwork to investigate further and it is stuck in some bureaucratic red tape or on some desk somewhere. You are probably better off just speaking with an attorney and letting them handle it.

Now if it were me, I would probably just cut my losses and chalk it up. Unfortunately in the big scheme of NYPD, a stolen laptop is probably a non-priority case and collecting dust somewhere. As frustrating as that sounds, by the time you hire an attorney, waste your time pressing forward, etc.. you could have purchased a new laptop and moved on.

Sorry I can't be much more help. I have been there myself. My house was robbed about 15 years ago and I had a laptop and desktop stolen. Was able to track it down, but still took close to 2 years before it was finally returned to me. By then it was pretty much worthless and anything of mine that had been on them was long gone.
Without knowing anything of what you read I would guess this is could be referencing gluconeogenesis which is the result of eating too much protein and not enough fats while in a ketogenic in state. The result is that the body generates glucose from amino acid breakdown.

> The very act of calling a suicide prevention hotline is solid evidence that the caller does not truly want to die.

This sentence is proof that you do not understand suicide and have not read modern information about suicide.

Since your misinformation is dangerous I urge you to do some reading before talking about something that you clearly know little about.

Suicidality is complex, but "calling a hotline is solid evidence someone doesn't want to truly die" falls into several of the myths people spread about suicide:

http://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help-you/myths-about-su...

Myth: People who talk about suicide aren’t serious and won’t go through with it.

Myth: People who threaten suicide are just attention seeking and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Myth: People who are suicidal want to die.

Myth: If a person is serious about killing themselves then there is nothing you can do.
That's just patently untrue. There's an enormous gap between the situations in which the author advocates for (and laws in various states and countries permit) assisted suicide and a society that allows you to walk into a clinic and kill yourself for any reason. The laws in California [0], Washington, Oregon, and Vermont [1], for example, require that the patient is mentally competent and is terminally ill with less than six months to live as certified by two doctors. A suicidal person won't meet the first requirement, much less the second.

I'm still not sure how this interjection is relevant to the conversation at hand, but thank you for the interesting information.

From what I can tell, you're executing a playbook based on prejudices and not an actual argument. Is OSX less arbitrary in its UI or less locked down? Could it be that developers HAVE to accept Apple's locked down game environment for iOS because it's the only platform that does a good job of combating game piracy? Is the Android App Store actually any better in this regard?

Maybe. Maybe not. But all I see here is a very biased set of standards. Windows 10's App store is far less important to the industry than the iOS store in the large, as far more software moves through it.

I'm actually hoping for a good discussion of why people are comfortable with the iOS store beyond, "I have historical reasons to hate Microsoft but not Apple." I clearly will not get that from you.
