Actually your argument (about Chomsky) is seriously ridiculous.

When I reference a person like Chomsky or any other scientist (which is well respected scientist) I am not referencing to his character.I am referring to material and position which he takes (for example in his books, which is based on logical inferring, or factual evidence)

I don't think any good will come out of this discussion because you keep nitpicking.But for further information you can read Chomsky's,Finkelstein's and serius scientifics book.

>I do not believe in such a simplistic logic when it comes to world politics. Most of the time there is a multitude of influencing factors at play. These have o be understood like in a multiple regression analysis (just a metaphor).

I 100% agree with this part.but I don't agree with make matters complicated. This is fact and simple. USA did support Mujahedin for many years.
And go on.

careful I am not saying USA is responsible for all things in middle East.but they are major part in this fucking mess they created. And after they left middle East we can start to talk (without any military intervention from outside) and push for reform in middle east.And I would personally beg/appreciate for providing cultural material.( I don't know. Internet. TV shows. Thing like this , which shows people how people live in West)
I have problems believing that narrative. I think that it's too simplistic to forget strategic goals.

For instance, perpetual conflict also means that no strong power can appear in the area.

>What would have happened on the other hand, if some countries did not intervene in Bosnia?

Bosnian Serbs having their own country? Unfortunately for them Bosnia is ally with Turkey, a NATO member. So the intervention was on behalf of Bosnia. Nobody cares though when it is allies who commit the same atrocities - like Turkey does to Kurds and what Saudi Arabia does today in Yemen (for fun consider a story - "rebels oust government, and a neighbor supporting the ousted government intervenes military" - in the last 2 years that happened in Ukraine/Russia and Yemen/Saudi Arabia - and compare which side Western countries have supported :).
Al Assad is a good example of another dictator taking over. But in the case of Saddam and Qaddafi, it is less clear who would have taken over. And perhaps what could have happened is a progressive, peaceful transition to democracy. But the example of the Balkans show that you can put a lead on ethnic hatred for a very long time, but it will pop up sooner or later.
I think it's also important to point out the the timeline for all these events is murky at best. We know when the West announced their support for these various movements, but that doesn't always represent the exact time or size of the support given..
Yeah, you are right. It's just a particularly annoying bug because: 1. It broke my phone pretty fundamentally, 2. It was a third party app that broke core functionality (in a roundabout way), which shouldn't be possible on iOS, 3. Lack of response from Apple, 4. Such a bug would be much lower impact on Android due to (IMO) silly restrictions on iOS. These factors combined with a lingering slight dissatisfaction with iOS has left me a bit annoyed (but I'll probably forget all about it soon!)

> afraid they'll become addicted.

Someone who isn't addicted to highly addictive substances doesn't engage in risky behavior, disregarding consequences and their well-being, by seeking out undosed, more potent and potentially adulterated highly addictive street drugs.

Maybe their doctor has a valid concern. Opioids are rarely an effective treatment for non-cancer and chronic pain if taken regularly for a variety of reasons.

Ideally, if a doctor is going to stop refilling a prescription of an opioid addicted patient, they should be referred to appropriate services. Detoxification, pain management and mental health specialists should be all be involved for the patient's well-being. The patient should never be cut off cold-turkey like that.

How to convert to Sketch to HTML
The most pleasing way for PSD to HTML is to do everything by hand. By using conversion tools you can probably get good enough result for a presentation to someone but for production quality results you will have to do slicing and coding with hands. More on this discussion you can find here Is there a tool to convert Photoshop to valid Twitter Bootstrap HTML and CSS?

Frontend development has become more than just basic HTML and CSS. Here are the things that you should learn to be expert in the area:

1. Get your basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript right.

2. Learn the basics of Photoshop/Sketch and how to do slicing.

3. To succesfully convert design into working web page, you need be able to learn to origanise your HTML and CSS both in terms of files sturctures and code. Frameworks like HTML5 Boilerplate, Bootstrap and Foundation can get you started. You can then choose the one you like most and depending on the project requirements.

4. Learn about SASS or LESS. Although SASS is becoming more popular, but you can choos eone stick to it.

5. Learn JQuery atleast so that you can implement various premade plugins.

6. Understanding of general concept like layouting, typogrphy will hel a lot.

7. Use Chrome or Firefox as your main development browser and lear to use their developer tools.

8. If you really want to be at cutting edge, make sure you also understand Gulp/Grunt, Bower and Yeoman.

9. Finally for visual testing purpose, you need to be able to do pixel perfect testing and cross browser testing.

These are some of the essential things as of today to understand to be able to develop great quality frontend. Source htmlangels.com

The assumption that those interventions, including Bosnia, have something to do with avoiding genocide is beyond naive.

Just two easy copy-paste from Wikipedia:

"Bosnia conflict took place between 1992 and 1995,[..] 100,000 people were killed during the war."

"During the approximate 100-day period from April 7 to mid-July 1994, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were killed"

Well, the cost of living does not matter to the company; the issue for them are the salaries. According this[1], the average salary for a software developer in Shanghai is 150k RMB. That's like 30.5k Canadian dollars. The average salary for a software developer in Vancouver is more than double of that[2].

Changing the topic... I'm not so sure if Southern Europe is cheaper than Shanghai. The two main cities of Spain rank higher in cost of living than Shanghai, according your link. I guess that defining the "cost of living" is a really complicated problem.

Yeah, but i'm not getting how they're doing anything wrong. It's their site/service; they can make any changes they want. It's like developers having to keep up with changes to Android, for example. The UI can change from release to release; new rules get added to the play store; how access to external storage is allowed/handled changes often. Google isn't doing it for the fun of it and it makes no sense to take them to task over it; it's just one of those "keep up" things which has been at the root of software development for as long as I can remember.
Is it necessary to debate about funding models for journalism? Money will find its way. People will find their information and entertainment. New channels will form. Capitalism works quite well for this.

Or perhaps the west could limit itself to no violent spending. Just think if instead of blowing $1.1 trillion on the Iraq war they'd spent it on humanitarian aid, education and supporting the more peaceful and human rights promoting groups.

It also has the advantage you don't have to figure too accurately who the good and bad guys are. In Syria there are loads of warring factions, all of which have been involved in atrocities so it becomes tricky knowing which to shoot hence the problems mentioned in the article.

I fail to see how the email discloses anything protected, since it's completely generic:

Dear member,

You have a new message from *Redacted Healthcare System*

Please click on the link below, or copy and paste the link into your browser.

So from the email it's impossible to tell if it's even a message for me, or someone else in my household that I'm authorized to receive healthcare information for. And it hardly seems any more revealing than the weekly "wellness emails" that every healthcare system seems to send to its members.

HHS specifically allows a provider to use email:

The Privacy Rule allows covered health care providers to communicate electronically, such as through e-mail, with their patients, provided they apply reasonable safeguards when doing so. See 45 C.F.R. § 164.530(c).

The big positive example here is how the French and German `Erbfeindschaft' seems to be over. But perhaps that was never an ethnic conflict?

Does anyone have a nice lists of resolved past ethnic conflicts? That might be instructive.

I'm sick and tired of this "realpolitik" bull. The reason we can't have nice things is because people give up on trying to have nice things. It's this bizarre combination of defeatism and selfishness that leads to bad foreign policy decisions and people dying.

I already pointed out that I was using TNG as an illustration, not an argument. But if you want reality, here's reality: people get pissed off when you attack and marginalize them and their friends and family. It's the role of the greater power to deescalate and try to integrate the oppressed, not wipe them out. Reality is that ruthlessness begets ruthlessness, and if your best counterargument to that is to call a TV show "wishy-washy", then you already know it's true.

This isn't so.

There's many choices. One is to accept a relatively high risk, for the reward of a good earning and being able to both live in your country and be nearer your family.

The last choice is to not take any job, that's true.

But the actual second choice is either to find a different job for less money, or move away for better earnings to send money home.
The US is in the middle east because of oil and Israel. Both reasons. If you think it's just oil, the ADL and AIPAC are going to get mad at you for not giving them credit where it's due. And on top of that, now it seems like liberals are bored with their success at home, and want a proxy war with Russia.

The US will leave you alone when liberals decide that spreading liberal values isn't worth a war with Russia, and that supporting Israel isn't a liberal cause, and when conservatives realize that the oil isn't worth it, and that Israel is a horrible "ally".

Yes, ads and causes seem to be the two big sources of money. I cannot think of a third one.

We agree that ads are dead. That logically leaves us with causes.

The problem with causes are that they are inherently biased. However, there are usually sources for each side. Maybe we should embrace the bias? Instead of looking for objectivity and an ideal of journalism, we could try to balance biases.

Google started with Page Rank, which tries to calculate authority (and thus implicitly objectivity) into a single number. Maybe AI technology can identify all relevant causes for each topic, balance bias, and present a wealth of opinions and the facts they agree on? Sure, the "balance bias" step is the problematic one, because here a gatekeepers occurs.
New plan: Block any article that mentions a company or trademark. :p
The comments here are depressing. People who are actually depressed are saying that the author is completely wrong about their depression, while others with no experience of depression are nitpicking at them with for what passes for logic on the internet.

The truth is, this PhD is not a psychiatrist, appears to have little clinical experience except whatever his "practice" has thrown his way, and, tellingly, refers to "clients" instead of "patients".

Some depression is situational, for sure, but this is not a deep observation or original thinking. The author is perhaps qualified to treat situational, temporary depression but cannot speak to clinical depression or depression that arises from mood disorders. To the extent he is in denial that these forms exist he is mistreating his "clients", and he shouldn't have the support of a bunch of smarty-pants nerds when he does it.
Well, they did specify that they want people who are able and willing to learn, so it makes perfect sense.
This was a really tricky balance. We could have let some people go earlier to extend runway and maybe give us more time to optimize an exit, but at the cost of morale and perhaps a subsequent talent drain. We also knew the people were going to be a focal point for an acquisition so the more good people we could keep around, the better our value to an acquirer. All things considered we ultimately choose to hold on to as many of them as we could for as long as we could while trying to be transparent about our status so they could decide if it was worth it for them to hang around.

> How many startups fail because their MVP is too minimal?

None.

They fail because they didn't talk to customers, didn't do sales, didn't do marketing, or failed to find a viable service model after all that.

MVP is shorthand for "do the least work customers will pay you for." Customers are shorthand for "people you can find who will pay you."

MVP is quite often abused to mean "here's a thing I made." If you don't have customers, and you can't find customers ... then it's not viable yet, is it?

Here's a thing you can do:

You have a hypothesis that [service you can provide] will be valuable to [people you can find]. Okay, so go check that you can actually find those people. Then talk to them about what they do.

You are not allowed to sell, or ask "would you buy this." Facebook surveys are also right out. You need targeted customers, not a bunch of random people with few common characteristics besides being bored enough to respond to Facebook surveys.

Your objective is to learn about these people. How do you find them? How do they talk about the problem? How do you tell them apart from people who really don't give a shit about the problem?

Once you've got a target customer validated at the talking-to-people level, then you can try building stuff. Start with the least work that you think will get people to pay you. It's probably much smaller than you think, and may involve no code.

You don't need to solve everything that anyone told you about the problem, you just need to do enough to make their corner of the world a little better.

Then, go back and try to do sales. Face-to-face sales is the highest conversion rate condition you're ever going to have access to. It doesn't have to scale to infinity million dollars of revenue. It's validation. (Although it's also quite possible to get to stability on boot sales alone, if you charge enough. Which is the only time I ever want to hear that "with no marketing" meme.)

If you can't sell when the deck is stacked in your favor, you don't understand your customers, or you're working on something they don't actually care about.

Treat stuff as a hypothesis. Then test it. Don't just throw code at the wall either. Code without a customer is not a product, it's just some thing you made. Figure out who the customers are and aren't. Then try to find them & talk to them. Learn about them. Then build.

Nobody failed because their MVP was too minimal. They failed because they didn't have customers & didn't do the work to fix their understanding of the world.
