Why would anyone sympathize with capital over labor? At the end of the day why anyone does is efficiency. Other than that capital is simply a means to coerce labor to do work. Why would anyone side with coercion rather than the people? People worship those with capital as if there is something really special about them. At the end of the day I have observed 1/2 and 1/2, some people are really special others just lucked into capital because of the situation. There is no virtue to gaining capital and it does not say all that much about its holder.

You do have to pick something and run with it, I understand that. But price per square foot is pretty bogus because one cannot buy housing by the square foot. You have to buy it per _house_. I think you could make a fair comparison if you went with median 2-bedroom sale price instead.
The transbay busses are slower because they get stuck on the bridge. 8 minutes for bart to cross the bay vs 1hr for a vehicle on the bay bridge during rush hour. If I'm wrong, I would be pleasantly surprised.

There are more opportunities for different kinds of hacking now.

A blank screen with a blinking cursor focuses the mind. But when that's all you have (there are no other windows, no other programs, not even the memory to run them), it becomes an automatic flow state - or nothing. Those who got something, were the ones who became hackers.

The off-line world was - and still is - rich. The net is a distraction that keeps you from noticing important things to hack.
Ah, Renaissance. Yes, they do seem to have some secret sauce that allows them to stay profitable. But I doubt that technology is their strong suite.
My parents were night owls, and so was I. Waking up before dawn was a nightmarish hell for me, all through junior high and high school.
Same! When either building something myself or with under 5 people I've been able to use all my knowledge and truly stretch myself. But I've also worked at a "startup" with the wrong people in charge, where I was completely under-utilized and couldn't get challenging work despite asking for it. The chance for fulfilling work though, I think, is the biggest draw.

"The compliance problem is exacerbated by the sheer volume of mandates—approximately 2,000 pages of text—and the reality that the Department of Education issues official guidance to amend or clarify its rules at a rate of more than one document per work day. As a result, colleges and universities find themselves enmeshed in a jungle of red tape, facing rules that are often confusing and difficult to comply with."

You don't think colleges would rather have the money than all these extra paper pushers?
Our school system does this. I haven't heard any complaints about it. (And we have a lot of entitled parents who complain about everything else.) I'm surprised that more schools aren't switching.
Users will need to demand it -- but I wonder if many users know enough to ask.

Gmail (at least free Gmail for individuals) won't have end-to-end encryption because their business model is to scan your email and serve you relevant ads.

But Slack, I don't see why not. I would like to try Slack on my team, but sending all of our unencrypted internal communications to a third-party is a bad idea. even if nothing bad happens, it's a bad idea.
I used to be against css preprocessors as well, but nesting is what eventually sold me. It just makes so much sense. My code isn't cluttered with tons of classes, and the css is far more readable.
> So fundamentally VR has more potential than AR.

Fundamentally, VR just has a different potential than AR.

> Not to mention the need to carry AR with you wherever you go if you want to use it in the "real world", power it, compute, etc.

You need to carry the VR headsets and their host-devices with you too.

I believe we should clearly delineate the definitions of VR vs AR first.

Virtual Reality should be things like The Matrix. A reality that an individual experiences without modifying the real world for anybody else. Current technology simply shoves a screen right up against our eyes but the goal is obviously to plug that content straight into our very brains.

Augmented Reality should be things like an audio speaker or a video display; devices that "inject" manmade media into the real world; devices which generate reproducible experiences that everybody, even animals, can see, hear, touch and smell.

In AR a single device may provide content passively to multiple viewers. Like your music system or television or a hologram generator. Even your pets can see and hear whatever's playing and they certainly don't to purchase or wear anything.

VR aims to interface with your neurons and you're guaranteed to experience the full content. AR projects content into the real world which may or may not bounce on to our senses.

TL;DR: VR replaces reality. AR enhances reality. But that's just my opinion. :)

Aphasia (ancient greek for "without speech") is just a condition of impairment in language production. By definition, it can't directly harm you, or do anything other than "affect your language".

It is caused by brain injuries; they can hurt you.

Ah right, didn't think about running several Tor instances in VMs. I'm sure there are better ways to run Tor from VMs though, if you know how the protocol works just run instances of some program that runs it instead of running the whole thing in a VM.

Your natural sleep/wake cycle is biologically determined and known to shift later into the night in adolescence.
Sending a teenager to bed earlier does not mean they will sleep well, or at all, in the period between "bedtime" and their natural sleep phase. The temporal location of sleep, not just its duration, matters.

They are trying to close the gap, but it's a huge gap. I was told by a professor at my Alma Mater that PhD students get a 40k stipend (in St. Louis). Contrast that to most other programs where it might be closer to 20k, and to the industry where an intern can easily make 80k per year, and a graduating senior qualified for grad school can pull 6 figures from many places.

Sometimes people recover.

Sometimes they don't.

My friend's grandmother had a stroke some months back; she lost the ability to talk. She can easily demonstrate that she understands what you say, but she can't talk.

There is a passage in The Language Instinct about a man who had a stroke, and lost the ability to talk. He recovered. And he described the experience -- of finding himself in difficulty, knowing something was wrong, and calling out to his wife for help... when no words came out.

It's one of the most horrifying things I can think of. :/

There were russians who fight in Ukraine and if you ask ISIS fighters they will tell you they are fighting to spread the-one-true-religion which is similar to fighting to spread the-one-true-ideology with minor differences.

Also fighting oppression was what was sold to US soldiers going to the Mid East at least partially.

Why does Millbrae's price change by $6/sq between the BART map and the CalTrain map? (Both services are serviced at the same station.)
Nice, thanks!

Amazing project!
Disclaimer: I'm a NixOS user who is interested in switching to Guix but have not actually tried it yet.

Both package managers (Nix and Guix) and the distributions (NixOS and GuixSD) are very young, so expect some missing packages and some rough edges. That said, Guix & co are newer than Nix & co, so expect more missing packages and roughness with Guix. Also, GuixSD being a GNU project, you'll have a harder time finding proprietary stuff packaged up.

Guix is entirely scripted in Guile Scheme, which is a strong point in my mind. And from what I understand, you can drive your whole operating system from emacs, which appeals to me as someone who lives in and loves emacs. It also has a strong emphasis on user Freedom.

But you can use both! This is part of what's so cool about functional systems. I personally started with Nix on Ubuntu, graduated NixOS, and am now starting to look into Guix. And eventually, GuixSD.
It's coded. You see "handout" named as such more often when it's low-quality, inefficient service. With a system like BART, the whole thing was motivated by pressure to relieve middle-class downtown commuters specifically, and everyone else by chance(hence a design without redundancy that requires a midnight service shutdown). Geometry forces it to pass through many types of communities, but during construction, the slightly richer, whiter communities had more room to shape their relationship to the system:

Prime examples of how public pressures escalated the cost of the system are the Berkeley subway and the Ashby Station. After originally approving a combination aerial and subway line through Berkeley, that city later came to oppose the plan in favor of a subway-only line, which was much more expensive. The new plan necessitated redesign of the Ashby Station from an aerial to a subway facility. Extensive controversy and hearings ensued for the next 2 1/2 years, finally to be resolved by Berkeley residents voting to tax themselves additionally to finance the changes they wanted. Next, a Berkeley City Councilman filed a successful suit to redesign the Ashby Station, yet a second time, asserting the use of skylights in the original plans was not a true subway design. [0]

And indeed, the "nicer" stops on BART tend to be underground, while the "inexpensive" ones are mostly aerial alignments adjacent to freeways. (See the history around "freeway revolts" and you get a similar picture of class/race division.)

> INGSOC was Newspeak for "English Socialism" after all.

To me that's just analogous to the Nazis, who were neither nationalist nor socialist, or the GDR, which wasn't exactly democratic, not to mention that it's in line with titles like "Ministry of Love". It would have been kinda silly to have INGSOC call itself "thugs driven by sadomasochism" or anything else "honest": of course they have a nice name and a handshake as a symbol, while they do the exact opposite.

I don't know what Orwell thought of socialism so I'm not saying you're wrong, but that bit by itself is not a very good argument.
There's a lot of variation in Fremont neighborhoods from sketchy to super-wealthy, so it depends on what you can afford, whether schools matter to you, what you want to be near, etc.

Definitely consider proximity to transit: the current surge in employment has lead to a surge in traffic jams. The three main transit systems are BART, Trains (Ace and Amtrak Capitol Corridor), and the Dumbarton Express bus.

It appears to be a pretty generic chat app similar to WhatsApp, which debuted a year earlier. Of course, almost all western products (including whatsapp) are derivative of something that came earlier too.
I did .net development for 8 years, left for ruby because frankly I got a 50k raise to do so, but right now I'm using core for my own projects which run on a Linux server in the cloud. I'm hoping as the platform improves that I'll be able to do it full time once again.
Sure. You can also run many tor processes. Or you can use light virtualization, so there's not much overhead. But the point is that it's easy to create lots of Tor instances. Much easier than building a botnet.
As you note, aphasia is a symptom. As such it can have multiple causes. Some varieties of aphasia are caused by a degenerative disease, not injury, for example Primary Progressive Aphasia [1].

Stroke is a very common cause of aphasia, of course, but as our populations age (and as the causes of death and disaility that strike earlier are eliminated), the many varieties of age related dementia are making themselves known.

I took the transbay NL bus for several months. Never had a ride take anywhere close to an hour, except for once when it was raining really hard, but that's because traffic in SF was so gridlocked, but the bridge was OK.

Aside from your first sentence, and your (entirely reasonable!) opinions about the difficulty of providing proper training to civilian police, I agree almost entirely with your commentary. [0]

The core of my objection to police personnel calling non-police "civilians" is twofold:

* It lets police benefit from the competency halo projected by the military and their training when -in fact- most police get precious little training.

* It seeks to create a deep division between the police and the communities they serve. Police should be members of (and get to know) the communities that they police.

[0] It's important that cops be able to react with force to uncontrollable, imminently dangerous situations. However, I expect that those situations pretty much never actually happen. ;)
Does NixOS have a good security update story yet? Last time I looked, security updates in widely-used libraries like glibc could get bogged down in huge rebuilds because of the way dependencies are specified/resolved. There was some kind of hack to bypass this, but I think it required manual config changes for each update. The wiki seems to have evaporated, so I'm not sure what's current.
Just to clarify, are you asking about the use of instant messaging in a work environment, or at all? I can see an argument that it's counterproductive at work, but the purely social utility has been obvious for decades; it basically evolved out of IRC.

Literature PhD students in the US generally receive a small stipend (~$24,000) and pay no tuition.
Agreed, I certainly don't advocate squashing more commits than necessary! The granular, the better. As I mentioned, I'll often tease apart separate commits out of something that I originally stuffed into a single commit: whitespace changes, add some comments, fix a bug, all separate even if they started out as one commit.

I just don't find it useful to see every commit when someone uses Git like I do, committing all sorts of intermediate broken work while experimenting. Especially not commits that are going to be broken regardless.
As long as you don't abuse nesting CSS preprocessors make the world a better place.
I'm rejecting how you are classifying the problem. Cornering off a specific subsection of the population and saying its too small to worry about is deflection.

Everyone can be classified and cornered off in some way. Does that mean that we should consider everyone's contribution to the problem irrelevant, or just those with a simple and easy to convey label?
Variables though, I can't see how you can go without them. Being able to change 6 characters and have the entire site theme change for a client is great.
You're cutting out a lot of the people in the middle and can show better ads. These ads should pay more, and both the publisher and user should make more than what they make today. (It's not hard to beat current payments to publishers, and users get no part of the pie right now).

Targeting can be much better if Brave gives the user the option to anonymously share information with them.
Distractions are not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, they aid the process of discovery. The issue is that nowadays our distractions are "on demand" and "personalized", which, if we're not careful, can take away the benefits and leave us worse off.
i may be using these tools "incorrectly" but i have a modularized component based structure with components/partials in one directory(e.g sometimes _footers.scss or sometimes _landing.scss based on project) and another with varibles.

However, I compile and write my CSS to disk and serve it. so maybe i am atypical, but i thought that was common. i obviously perfected my workflow over time but i got it setup initially in like 2-3 hours which was a great investment given i use it often and this was 2 years ago. that is why i dont understand this post.

> don't feel problem worth cost

again, it is almost exactly the same as css but you can nest. you can fork a build tool and use it quickly (2-3 hours with a highly optimized setup) and this atrgument doesn't hold up if you use processing as you already have the setup in place, e.g adding 1 module to gulp and just git cloning local if you are that worried about dependency.

> i like control of my css

me too i find nested representation provides better selector targeting, much more readable and reflects the html structure it corresponds to

> deployable

i may be atypical, i just write 1-3 files to disk and they are served as static css

> dont want to wait

i have to wait. it is 2 seconds at most. however, and this is not snarky, that ends up getting annoying. somewhere around under 1 second usually but sometimes you have to reload twice and tricks you into thinking you made s mistake

however, with livereload or nodemon changes propogate quick so the componetization is great for even small projects. doubly if you have to ever collaborate with anyone as it gets annoying dealing with other peoples "best practices" when css is the wild west with a global namespace so collisions and cascading overrides are annoying if nothing else, leaving aside formatting and naming conventions
