> "I will apologize" and "please accept our apologies" are ways to distance the speaker from the actual act of apologizing, but are not the act itself. They lessen the pain of actually saying "I'm sorry".

This is not correct. They are the same speech act, at a higher level of formality.
How is infinitely more expensive than free affordable? And how is it good that it is non-trivial to run your own mail server?
I wouldn't say it's preferable to a real keyboard but as far as foldable, portable keyboards go I'd say it's the best (especially since it's USB and not bluetooth based; bluetooth are just too prone to interference, repeating character issues, etc (at least I've yet to use a good one)).

It's a pretty good compromise, in my opinion, for someone looking for a full fledge computer that can also have the portability and usability of a tablet.
Got it, thanks. Yeah, not specific to only rocket.chat, I think you will win more clients if you clarify - maybe in the intro text for each app? - that the app is designed currently for "in browser" use, etc. In any case, thanks a bunch for this clarification! You guys keep rocking on!!
Bingo.

I did the "some college" thing - so no one asks.
Reminds me of this charming but probably fake story about Oxford New college http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/oak-beams-new-college-oxf... On the other hand, the modern version, embracing risk and avoiding ethical standards probably won't yield the thousand year endowment they're looking for.
I was being generous to his argument.
The author's argument is that medical marijuana related activities are no longer subject to federal law. This sounds a little dubious on its face, but maybe it is a compelling argument.

This doesn't argue that possession is legal everywhere. It specifically talks about Nebraska, one of the states in the lawsuit:
""In states where voters have not voted on it, for instance Nebraska, of course it's not going to be legal there," Pappas told us. "But patients and medical marijuana centers operating in full compliance with state laws -- through equal protection -- are not going to be subject to federal prohibition.""

This is essentially the current status quo. The author's argument would only apply in the case where a future president acted to enforce federal statues in states where medical marijuna is legal. Then this arguement could be tested in court.
It seems that Android users are very likely to pirate while IOS users are not. I think the numbers were something like 12 pirated copies for every Android version sold and 2 to 1 for IOS.
I don't know how much this matters. Harvard has the richest endowment but still has less money then nine individuals. I am just waiting for say the Carlyle Group to go public like KKR or Blackstone to make HH funds boring and mainstream.
Let's hope they fixed the bug where WindowServer hangs up randomly after closing a Youtube tab. It's an incredibly annoying bug that's forcing me to reboot every 2-3 days. I don't browse Youtube on Safari, but as soon as there is a website with an embedded video, boom it goes :(
Something running on Kubernetes is probably going to get more traction at this point than something running on Triton. 1.2 added a task API, probably not high performance enough yet for this, but I think it's only a matter of time till the ability to execute ad hoc tasks is a core platform expectation.
Yup. Equipments and tools aside, the BGA IC chip soldering / desoldering skills you've seen fast forwarded through the clip are some serious skills that take time to practices.

PS: This technique has been around since April 2015. A Youtube search yields roughly 8000 videos. I wouldn't be surprised that there are dozens or even hundreds [1] of this "repair shops" in Shenzhen's huaqiangbei or Beijing's Zhongguancun [2] electronics market.

> Why would they be any different from tobacco consumers?

Marijuana attracts an earthy, naturalistic sort of crowd. I have no proof of this, but it's been my experience.

> Don't most of the factors that make tobacco different from the average business apply equally to cannabis?

The health risks of marijuana are much better understood now than the health risks of tobacco (more particularly cigarettes) were in the 1950s. There's simply less room to lie, for one thing, which was far and away the most atrocious thing that Big Tobacco did. And the mere fact that marijuana has been illegal for so long and developed its own culture underground makes it hard to compare.

> They seem to serve a similar social function. Indeed don't people frequently smoke a mix of the two?

In Europe it's common to mix the two, but for most Americans no. I usually smoked alone anyway, it's not a social thing at all for many. You're really comparing apples to oranges here. Marijuana and tobacco as different as LSD and beer in terms of their effects.
The 5X is still a very big phone though. Sure, it's `only` a 5.2" screen, but the bezels are big. It's about the same overall size as the oneplus one, which is a 5.5" screen and was classed as a phablet when it came out.

Both major political parties in the USA are coalitions representing many groups of people with separate interests. It is in the interest of these groups to combine their resources when their goals tend to either align, or at least not conflict with each other.
Sidenote, and I may get down-voted heavily for saying this, because he's got plenty of "cred" on so many different fronts, but Noam Chomsky always struck me as a hypocrite when it came to his economic and political thinking for taking a pension supported by the $13 billion MIT endowment, which is surely generating money through many of the practices disparaged both in this article and Chomsky's own beliefs.
StartSSL only allows validation for top level domains. So you can't get a cert for me.blogspot.com unless you own blogspot.com.
Another way to do this, that you or someone may be interested in, is by using pip-tools.

You write a requirements.in text file where you list libraries by just their name, and then run "pip-compile requirements.in" and it will output a requirements.txt.

It also has a function called "pip-sync" which will then install/update everything in the requirements.txt file.

And on the flip side, I've had potentially hours of source dives (because, spoiler alert, I have the .NET Framework source code on hand and have for a couple years now) made unnecessary because the MSDN documentation, which was made because they would like programmers to be productive, explained an edge case before I stepped on that rake. Compare to plenty of other environments where the source dive was the only option because the documentation was an atrocity.

It's not nearly as cut-and-dry as you want it to be and you will be better at your job when you internalize that environments you don't like have pluses of their own. I choose to use Unix for my own projects because it makes sense for the projects I'm working on (the stray game-development project aside), but I have declined to participate in the epistemic closure of those who think Windows and .NET have nothing to offer or to teach.
If they did show that data, it would look worse. On average, universities don't outperform (far lower-cost) index funds with similar objectives, per the recent HN story:

I guess a great question is... are they happy with it? I like my current employer, they're the kind of company I want to work for. I actually stated the salary I wanted upfront, and they gave it to me. It isn't particularly high, but it covers my needs and then some. It was a bit more than my salary at my last job, which was fine with me.

I have a Toyota. I don't need a Tesla.

I am a (relatively) happy person.

Short of doing a deep dive into Postgresql, do any universities use Postgresql as a basis for their DB implementation courses? I wanted to dive into Postgres and was hoping for some training wheels. Thanks.

Yeah because no one actually jailbreaks their device anymore... it's just hard and risky, and on Android all you need is to install the apk file.
Yup! The technicians shown in the video said they usually have around 50 "upgrades" a day done in the shop and this techniques has been around since April 2015.

Worst comes to be worst, Huaqiangbei has tons of vendors who sell iPhone scrape parts so an accidental damage can be easily "replaced" and fixed up.

Yeah, but if organ replacement becomes something we can routinely do to extend lifespans, then eventually you run out of cadavers.

That's probably a bit far-flung in terms of thinking though.
Well it was originally found 5 years ago. However StartSSL redesigned their site less then a year ago where I would guess the vulnerability came back (not that I have any knowledge to back that up).

I happen to think australis looks way more spiffy, old design looked kinda clunky, but then I also love minimalist design of Chrome.
I'm not saying anything objective about its worth. Under some circumstances it has a certain value, under other circumstances it has a different one.

By bias I meant that you flat out said that Windows and a few other MS products aren't worth the money and don't understand why anybody would use it. Now sure, it's possible that after careful consideration you decided in a completely unbiased manner that the products you listed aren't worth their cost under any circumstances but I'm sure you'll agree how that might sound incredibly biased to a casual observer.

edit: well except sharepoint like you said. That thing is just bad and I've no problem admitting to a bias against it.

Stupid reductionist logic from a stupid libertarian business card.
Is it really as much of a necessity? In my opinion most people learn the bare minimum required for exams, and then regurgitate it. I only remember tidbits of history and a little Shakespeare from my school days. Even in college most of my professors just read off powerpoints and I was forced to learn anything useful at all for my career on my own time. Schools force people to learn things they aren't interested in like STEM over useful life skills like personal finance or cooking. I think homeschooling or self-directed education [0] could be much more effective at stimulating learners and equipping them with necessary knowledge. In my opinion the only benefit of school was the social aspect, but thats to be expected since thats where everyone else is, not to mention the drawbacks such as bullying.

Education really isn't as much of a virtue as people think; do I really need a degree to talk to people, to appreciate literature or art, to vote? (And even with the prevalence of education, people still end up misinformed or lead by personal bias) Most people are capable of learning what they need, especially when all the resources are out there and not just in schools. All the different levels of education that are established just serve as poor markers for employers to differentiate people and time-and-time again I've read about educations being ill-suited in preparing people for careers.

Like the parent commenter, I think people are quite capable of organizing and preparing themselves just as well without a state, and many communities and generations have been doing this for centuries.

I wore a suit when I interviewed at Reddit.

I didn't get the job.

(Vanity compels me to share: I was probably going to ask for more money than they would have been willing to pay. But before a former CEO pops in this thread to reveal that I was actually incompetent, I must say that I think I put on a good show. The weekend prior to being flown out to SF, I spent a day analysing their server code and was able to not only find a fairly subtle bug but propose a fix for it.)
1) Be judicious regarding your choice of tools
2) Be careful with signalling errors
3) Don't read twice from a stream and expect the same data
4) Don't write SQL?
5) Understand pointers
6) Make it easy for readers of your code
7) Understand Scoping
8) Don't use objects concurrently unless they were designed for it
9) Keep track of which versions of dependencies you use
I agree that there's definitely a lot of down to Earth Devs and they are probably some of the reasons why I didn't give up on this career(even though I didn't fit in nobody's box and felt alienated from everyone since Freshman year of college), but booooy are there so many holier-than-thou "I went to CalFord or StanTech so I am a god!!" whose last iota of humility was probably when they were in middle school. It almost feels adversarial sometimes when going through tech interviews(as if the process of preparing for them wasn't draining enough). Fortunately, there's a glimmer of hope most smarter-than-average devs are actually good people and are willing and nice enough to help when asked. It just doesn't seem like so when I am doing phone screens or talking to some people at insert-programming-language meetup.

Python dependency management is a hard problem, but better than most languages [citation needed]. And `pip` and `setup.py` have emerged over several years, with several influences merged in (remember distutils?).

Honestly, I wish you'd picked a different tag-line though (riffing on `requests` no doubt). Unlike `requests`, your solution only works for a subset of deployment situations, because - as already pointed out - `setup.py` and `requirements.txt` are for different things.

One of the best examples for this I've seen is to use both to deploy to a server with no internet connectivity. For development the dependencies are installed from `setup.py`. Then, before deploying, all dependencies are downloaded via `pip download`. Put the dependencies on the server, finally, use `requirements.txt` with `--no-index` and `--find-links` to install. Definitely an interesting setup, but needs must. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't support `--no-index`, `--find-links` and a few others.

You may want to have a look at tools like `pbr` (Python Build Reasonableness) [1], which has an interesting way of dealing with some hard problems. It also shows how to use `setup_requires` so you don't have to have `requirements.py` hanging around in your repo.

Nobody wants to be first in this space. Because of the fuel costs of supersonic travel (the flow is inherently dissipative above Mach 1), the margins are too tight for anything but business class travel. As soon as you have a supersonic option, you've moved business class out of your subsonic fleet, along with that revenue. With the loss of the effective subsidy of business class, coach costs go up, and the market shrinks due to elasticity of demand.

That said, if your competitor fields a supersonic option, you have to, too, because you'll just lose business class to your comp, which is worse than losing it to yourself.
How would that make HH's less boring?
I wouldn't put a passenger jet in the same category as rockets when it comes "things that could blow up". The safety factor of an airplane is substantially higher than a rocket. The Concorde was even one of the safest jets before it had its first hull loss in 2000 due to a metal strip on the runway that punctured its fuel tank. Boom's jet is more likely to fail due to external factors such as human error or negligence.
And that's a good thing as it might get Congress to get off their asses and de-schedule cannabis.

I would say that OSX is preferred by any power user who needs/wants access to a "desktop"-style UI, a complete filesystem experience, layered windows, etc. The bizarre opaque filesystem on iOS drives me crazy, and is one of the biggest reasons I've had trouble committing to an iPhone.

I don't know of many people working in an office environment, much less as a developer, who would be satisfied with an iPad Pro as a daily driver when it comes to getting the amount of work you can get done on something like a Macbook Air.

Perhaps I just don't understand iOS well enough. I'd love to see a video of someone actually working and multitasking effectively on an iPad at the speed that is possible on a Macbook. Most of the videos that Apple releases show work that is limited to video capture, editing and illustration.

I'm not sure what aspect of this situation this comment is meant to address. We're not absolutists; we just want the State to do less evil shit. Perhaps there have been lots of egregious abuses by, I don't know (sorry but I'm not exactly sure what we're talking about), truant officers? Nevertheless those pale in comparison to the harms of Drug War enforcement.
The issue is that it needs to be explained in terms that they can understand: ... or part of your line will fail, randomly, and may take over a day to repair, IF your maintenance procedures are current, if not, you'll lose 4-5 days of line time.

For what it's worth, I've had Comcast residential for over 3 years now and have only suffered a severe outage once, but usually no issues like that.

I'm not sure I understand your critique. In the article a primary source (Nixon's domestic policy advisor Ehrlichman) just outright admitted what their motivations were. How is it cynical to cite a primary source?

What is the argument you're trying to make? That the war on drugs would have been justified through public health concerns even if it wasn't actually implemented for political and racial reasons? I'm not sure you're going to find much agreement on that stance, and certainly not enough political agreement to justify a policy of mass incarceration and proxy war violence in the third world to go along with it.
I just have a hard time believing that. It's a funny contradiction because I know perfectly well I'm not really much happier now at $95k than I was at $60k, or working in a park for minimum wage a decade ago, but at the same time there's so much I'd like to do that I don't because I'm trying to save money, and at $323k it would be pretty effortless to save massively and do whatever I wanted.
I think 3D Touch is where Apple "samsunged".
