I use Telegram over straight up SMS for many reasons. Group chats that aren't terrible, quick image/gif sharing, stickers (might be useless to you if you're not a furry, lol), bots in those group chats are incredibly useful, secret chats are awesome for my paranoid minded friends that need to talk about illegal stuff with me, and most importantly, I can use the Telegram client on every single one of my devices, so I always have access to my social circle if I have an internet connection.

These benefits may not be as great for someone who has a twitter or Facebook account, but as I don't, telegram is the easiest way for me to talk to all of my friends.
>the use of Tor is probably not all that important anyways

Who are you to decide that my use of Tor is not important enough?
Yeah, but the WRX is a huge penalty box compared to the Model S. In real-world performance, the S is going to outrun the WRX. You cite a 5000lb curb weight and it 'probably' handles like a boat; I've driven 4500lb P85s that handle exceedingly well. Again, will a WRX beat it around an autocross course? Maybe. But instant torque and no gearchanges will win out in the real world.

I don't know why you think the RS has crappy tires; it comes with PSS stock, which is what I put on my Golf R. But then again, the RS isn't even out yet.

You missed the whole point. Said abusive drunk takes all of the money for the household. It happens in real life. You might say "just leave the bum already!", but it's not that simple. People get trapped in shitty situations all the time due to family or religious or mental conditions.

In some ways UBI is the most libertarian of the social safety net options (as weird as that sounds), but it assumes that people act in their rational self-interest or if they are self destructive that there is no collateral damage. That's just not true in the real world.

> if you push multiple dependent commits to Gerrit, and one of the early ones gets merged, all of the later ones now have to be rebased because Gerrit created a merge commit in the middle.

Someone didn't spend time configuring gerrit or configured it wrong for your use cases. You can solve this in one of two ways: you either fast-forward when possible (gerrit can attempt a trivial rebase) or you commit a change set, create your own merge commit, and then your early ones won't get merged until your last commit. Gerrit will wait to merge the early commits (and vice versa if dependant commits are ready) until everything is good, then merge them all in one shot.

I used gerrit heavily for a few years (and still do, passively, with golang and other public google projects) and I miss it dearly. Sure it's not perfect, but I'd take it over the github fork/make pull requests model any day of the week.

It does not encourage monolithic commits. You need developers to understand what they are doing, care about commit history and be disciplined during development. In my experience, developers who just want to hack shit together, cut corners and love squashing commits or throwing away history hate gerrit. Developers who care love it. It's definitely possible and easy to produce Agile software.

Like anything else, you should use the right tool for the right job. If you're not willing to suck it up and learn something new, then it's not going to have a chance to be the right tool.
In my experience, SJW is a term for people who are not actually working to improve the state of affairs of the world in terms of 'social justice', but rather people who have bought into a very specific, irrational, and blatantly hypocritical ideology.

This distasteful subculture really exists, and - as with anti-vaxxers, birthers, the chemtrail people, white supremacists and other irrational movements - it poses a fundamental threat to the values on which reasonable discourse is built. People who are immersed in SJW culture (as with those other subcultures just mentioned) become increasing comfortable rejecting reason and facts. Imo all thinking people ought to be at least as concerned about today's SJWs as they are about those other movements.

My guess is that the "ageist" tone of his memoir it's savvy marketing. Who's going to be most interested in a memoir of a middle aged guy witnessing the horrors of working for a rich bro tech company? Who's going to buy a book, full stop? Other middle aged people who have looked at young idiots getting rich in Silicon Valley while their career prospects dwindle, that's who. So the tone of this and other articles he's written to promote the book are of course going to play up the culture clash and take sides with the older generation. Older people with wisdom and marketing experience understand these things (I kid!).

Yes, this is discussed in the article I linked to as well. It may be that, although Americans generally have less need to set up shell corporations in Panama, Panama may be relatively more attractive for criminals, since not only can they be anonymous (no different from the U.S.), but also less easily reached through U.S. judicial processes.

This may mean that, though there are fewer Americans named in these files than one might expect, their dealings might be shadier, on average, than other nationalities'.

It doesn't exist yet because major car manufacturers don't believe it's possible.
Partly this is to do with the $50,000 Model S that everyone has forgotten about now. Tesla said the base price of Model S would be $50,000. They did actually make such a car available, but it only had a 40KWH battery pack and so very few people ordered it. Consequently they gave up selling it and made the base model the 60KWH one instead. People that had ordered a 40KWH Tesla actually got a software-limited 60KWH one instead because it wasn't worth it for Tesla to make a different battery.

Numbers just don't match your claim. I realize the low-center of gravity can give you confidence on a corner, but the best skidpad numbers I'm finding are all 0.87-ish g for the Model S.

Performance cars are all 0.95g or so on the skidpad, including the "luxury sedan" Cadillac CTS-V (Car and Driver reports a skidpad 0.98g)

I can't help but think the 500lbs to 1000lbs difference between the CTS-V and Model S is tilting the odds in favor of the lighter car when it comes to handling.

I agree that not sharing is problem. Sometimes when I describe the opposition's point of view it sounds like I am defending their position. I think in order to fight an opponent, you have to understand their point of view.

Your story is concerning, but I'm not surprised. In my opinion, the system itself filters for this sort of behavior - and it gets worse in the upper echelons of the competition because in the upper echelons it becomes less and less feasible to deviate from an "optimum approach". My assumption being that the "optimum" approach includes participation in unfair and antisocial techniques.
I'm quite unhappy about this change, as it misrepresents how GPG is supposed to work. The whole point of using signed commits/tags is to not have to trust the Git server... yet by relying on GitHub's "verified" badge, that's precisely what you're doing.

This is security theater, and it's going to mislead a ton of people into thinking something has been verified more than it could possibly have been. Signature verification is necessarily something that the client must do, not the server.

EDIT: Would the downvoters care to comment?
That would be true in a country in which the public believed their governments to be functioning bodies directed at improving their country. I'd challenge you to find a lot of people who feel that way. When you believe the game is already rigged, every cheater hauled away is good news.

An innuendo is an insinuation or intimation about a person or thing, especially of a denigrating or a derogatory nature. It can also be a remark or question, typically disparaging (also called insinuation), that works obliquely by allusion.

That's my point. 11 years may seem like a long time to you, but it's really not.

I've seen quite a few people here wanting high-rise residential buildings in San Francisco to alleviate the high rents there. A skyscraper is at least 40 floors, according to wikipedia and one rule of thumb I've seen puts the construction time for them at 1 month per floor, from ground breaking to completion. That's about 4 years in construction, plus design and planning time, plus site acquisition. That's five, six years (more?), total, even in the most positive political atmosphere.

Someone who wanted to alleviate SF's high rents today, assuming you could do that by building high-rise apartment buildings, would had to have started at the height of the construction bust. That would be, I think, before San Francisco proper's tech boom, i.e. before there was a problem evident.

And if you started building one today,... Once upon a time, Intel planned to build a 10 story office building in downtown Austin. They stopped, with nothing but the structure of the building up, in 2001. The incomplete building was demolished in 2007.

If that was all it had done, and if it had defined men as "people who have a penis" and woman as "people who do not have a penis" or something along those lines, then unless one objected to the whole idea of separate men's and women's rooms it would be fairly hard to come up with a decent objection. (Why do we have separate men's and women's rooms? We didn't have them in student housing at my college, and it was never a problem.)

Others have already pointed out that this is not all it does. It goes far beyond the bathroom.

In addition to that, it also botches the bathroom portion because it sorts people into bathrooms by what is on their birth certificate. If your birth certificate says "male", for instance, but you've had male to female sex reassignment surgery you'd still be sorted into the men's room under this law.

The proponents of the law say that it is easy in North Carolina to get your birth certificate changed to match your new sex when it changes, such as due to sex reassignment surgery.

The problem with that is that there are actually people who are born outside of North Carolina, but for inexplicable reasons move there. North Carolina did not issue their birth certificates, and so North Carolina's ease of changing a birth certificate is irrelevant to them.

Idaho, for example, does not allow amending the sex on a birth certificate. A person who is born female in Idaho, moves to North Carolina, and undergoes female to male sex reassignment surgery will be required to use the woman's room, despite sporting a penis, in North Carolina.

Maybe we are splitting bathrooms wrong. Maybe instead of men/women, the split should be stand/sit. Have one kind of bathroom that just has urinals, and one that just has enclosed stalls. If you have a penis and just need to urinate, you use the former. If you do not have a penis or you need to defecate you use the latter.

Since the latter would have enclosed stalls, you should have enough privacy that it doesn't matter who else is using the other stalls.
