Why not using JIRA?
I'd approve putting CEOs and hierarchies of managers in jail, I mean as long as jail is applied to the lowly anyway. I wonder what's the point where it starts hurting the economy. After all, having 6% of the black population, 2% of Hispanic and 1% of the white population [1] must have significant effect on the industry; but if managers faced a chance of an exit through jail, would it hurt the economy? After all, they don't "work", in the sense of transforming matter. They make decisions - if 1% were in jail, would we lack people who take decisions? People like the CEO of VW make unlawful decisions, killing millions. Would it give room to renew the elites, especially with people who have a sense of responsibility?

The GM Trolley Conspiracy: What Really Happened (2010)
Oh, come now. Such a statement can't be taken out of context of conversation. Looking up to the parents, it reads like this:

"Says it all, doesn't it?" -- implication of something fishy

"What does it say?" -- asking what is the implication

"It is the appearance of impropriety,[...] it appears they offered [...]
It appears dirty but maybe can't be proven."

Notice I said "appears" three times. How would a common person interpret these activities? What does it look like? This is how it looks.
> But I don't understand how people can be so pro marijuana on one hand, and so anti-opiates on the other. It's pain. It's not noble to suffer needlessly.

Weed is not addictive, or even if it is in some people, to nowhere near the same level as opiates. It's also not responsible for thousands of overdose cases per year. It seems to me that THC pills would be better for pain management in these situations than opiate pills.

I also don't think you have much personal experience people who have been addicted to opiates. I have. It's not pretty. It's certainly worse than people who are merely potheads. The potheads I knew, when their source dried up or they ran out of money, were irritated, but were otherwise whole, and just waited until they could get their hands on more weed again. People addicted to opiates suffer severe withdrawal, and will do anything to get more pills. They can't simply stop using for a week.
I feel most prescription drugs are about numbing down feeling, whereas weed unleashes a lot of bottled up feeling. Which is why so many people say they don't like feeling high. But it can help a lot with emotional healing.
To be fair, I think my initial reading of the post in question might have been too charitable. A few bits don't make sense with any interpretation I can think of.
Cydia iOS 9.3 – 9.3.1 Jailbreak review – iOS jailbreak
See I always thought most people who wrote foo++ actually meant ++foo and it typically only came up when the operator precedence made the two not equivalent, causing a subtle bug.

I can't even think of a time where I really needed a use-then-increment operator where I wouldn't have just used the value, then incremented it on the next line anyway (maybe even with a post-increment out of habit).

In this type of testing, testers test the application or the system on the basis of providing random inputs and then analyse that system works or crash on inputs provided. Monkey tests are of two types.

Another problem is all the anti abuse so called safeguards like timed release so the pills can't be crushed. That means you can't take half the pill and a few hours later the other half which is what some people did to get around the false 12hr relief advertising before the DEA and other government meddlers got involved.

As for the FDA guy materializing at Perdue this is par for the course of all gov positions. A cabinet minister here was instrumental in vetoing the Bank Act which saved banks millions in taxes. Of course that minister materialized on a bank's board of directors after being kicked out of office by the voters as a thank you. When that bank started making large party donations they appointed the same ex minister as dean of a local university where immediately upon being parachuted into the role credit card tables were set up by the same bank on campus to rope students into applying for them. Plenty of city employees and councillors that allowed unpopular developments ended up on the board of developer corps too only later to be appointed to special environment advisory committees that of course pushed for pro development regulations. I'm sure this ex FDA pharma shill will end up somewhere else so he can further manipulate the system to the benefit of his patron too.

I am having hard time parsing this seemingly self contradicting sentence even after reading the linked article.

can someone explain this to me.
You can't really escape it. For the last 8 years it was economic stagnation for the vast majority. For a small minority - they were intermediaries in giving corporate money to landlords - talked with a london based friend today - no matter how much you make the rent increases absorb any rise in income and you always have 500 GBP at the end of the month as disposable. And we have a select few that won big.

Right now every demographic is afraid and insecure for variety of reasons and they wrongly see the November election as crucial. So partisanship is all they have left to express their frustration and anger. So it becomes omnipresent.

Ironic statement. You aren't even contributing to this thread, and now, having run out of anything to say, resort to passive-aggression.
We're talking about different things. I was talking about how opiates are over-prescribed for temporary pain, like dental procedures or bone fractures, whereas you are talking about long-term management of chronic pain. I specifically didn't say anything about the latter case.

If you're in your twenties, and you fracture a bone, the really bad pain will last for a day or two max. It's better to take over-the-counter pain meds and suffer through what pain remains than to jump immediately to the dangerous opiates and potentially risk your life going a lot more off-course than just dealing with some pain.

And to reiterate, I am a wuss as far as pain goes. I'm not the kind of person who pushes himself to suffer through pain. But in these kinds of situations, I look at the various paths, and potential opiate addiction is way more frightening than temporary pain.
Optimising a US business trip
These ROI calculations on degrees are more of a (flawed) basis for encouraging (less often, discouraging) college. They are not useful. It may seem like a good idea to develop an "ROI for college", but it distracts from what's important.

First, much of the value of a degree is in getting your first job (networking at elite schools must be helpful however). As your career progresses, the importance of having a degree diminishes. Leaving aside Med, Law, etc.. where you have to have it.

Second, your pay is not a pure output of your degree. What field you're in and the salary prospects in that field, how hard you work, how much you negotiate you salaries, how often you change jobs, what part of the country you live in, (I would argue) simply how smart you are - some would say even your race and gender.

Another metric could be, cost of tuition vs. one year avg. salary in your field. If I went to college 20 yrs. ago for computing and the tuition was 5k a year, and the average salary is $100k - and go to college now, the cost is $20k - do the math on college value. Kind of a joke right now I can get the Android dev job for $100k prob without the degree.

Mmmm, sort of. It's probably easier to understand the why of Bergson's theories in their historical context. In the early 20th century, General Relativity and Special Relativity had space and time 'figured out' and quantum mechanics wasn't really a thing yet.

The common train of thought post-Einstein but pre-quantum mechanics was that physics was close to a theory of everything: that the universe could be described with a set of deterministic equations and everything, including human behavior, could be successfully predicted from the beginning of time to the end of time.

Bergson's objections to Einstein are rooted in the concept of free will. They centered on Einstein's handling of time as another spatial concept. Physics would never be able to quantify human behavior, according to Bergson, because Einstein used the wrong model of time. Time (again, according to Bergson) isn't a countable and finite dimension like space is - and thus Einstein was wrong.

Bergson was also had no small amount of mathematical understanding, although he certainly wasn't at Einstein's level. Prior to this debate, he wrote an entire book about Einstein's Twins Paradox, and why it the premise it started from - that of a countable, space-like time, was wrong.

One reason that the Bergson-Einstein debate impacted the Nobel committee to such a degree was academic politics. At the time, many thought that physics had everything figured out and it wasn't long until everything, including human behavior, could be predicted using the scientific methods of physics and relativity.

Not unsurprisingly, a LOT of non-physicists had a problem with this idea.

Now off to read to the article, so I can see what was actually discussed there....

They gave me percocet after my appendectomy. I really only needed it the first day after the surgery, and then to get to sleep the next two days. I think I took 4 or 5 of the big 'ol bottle of pills they gave me.
Scary, but inevitable, no?

As technology improves, it's hard to imagine regulations keeping pace with preventing this sort of thing ... And even if they did, then it would only be used by criminals and governments (while I may call it criminal, they would likely exclude themselves from any such regulation), and I'm not sure that situation (criminals and governments being the only users of the technology) is a better situation than the technology being available to all.

Is it?

That 80mg oxy pill is a sad symbol of modern American life.

We idealize pills. We talk about a future where all food could be replaced with a pill. We attribute the starting gun of women's liberation to... THE pill. So many pills have captured our imagination and our culture: viagra, valium, adderall, prozac, mothers little helpers, morning after pills To us medicine often means pills.

We live lives that are too busy with artificial constraints, without enough time connected to relationships and leisure and nature. We live accelerated lives and have no time to be unhealthy. A pill that you take home and take just once every twelve hours -- at the start of your work day and the end -- is the only kind of cure we have time for.

There is a reason Americans consume the vast majority of pills. Far far more than other rich countries.
Oh, similar story! I used to live in Montgomery County, and I interviewed with Palantir precisely because it was a top-tier tech company that I wouldn't have to move for (albeit the commute wouldn't have been amazing). I didn't take interview preparation seriously though and flubbed the interview, so nothing came of it. I did end up relocating to NYC to work a different top-tier tech company that has an engineering office here but not really one in DC.

I've basically taken every good job offer I've had in my life, and I haven't regretted one jump.
If you want to see it on a dialectic +/- scale, fine by me, who am I to convince you otherwise .. but it is in fact a gradient scale, which starts with witless/robotic/cult chanting, and ends with crimes against humanity. BTW, yes, the USA is on the upper echelons of this scale: or did you think its wanton pillaging of nation after nation with its military-industrial toys is justifiable, somehow?

Hey, "Sieg Heil!" started off 'harmless enough' too, yo. All the cool cats were doing it .. at first.

So .. Who knows where all this is going to go .. we may well be on the precipice of an enormous catastrophe, all for the whim of wanton displays of pride, prejudice, nationalism, and awe-/fear-inspiring technology. All I'm saying is, it took a lot of nations for America to get where it is today. It didn't do it alone. And some of those nations were seriously broken in the process ..

(Besides which, there is no such thing as 'USA'.. it is a fiction. Gravity doesn't care about your fancy flag. In space, nobody can hear your chant..)

I'm fortunate to have the same problem with alcohol. I can get up to drunk (though I won't feel 100% the next day), but anything beyond that stage and I start to feel ill. Especially back in college, I remember other students regularly getting to stages well past drunk (e.g. "wasted", "trashed", "black-out", etc.), and enjoying it, but I only ever did a few times and was always completely miserable.

In the end it was just my body protecting itself from the stupidities of the brain running it.

HN doesn't have a lot of resources to combat abuse (notice how much abuse prevention is just 'dang --- who runs all of HN --- personally writing corrective notices [they're not even the same notices! Dan, get a shortcut completer!]).

I think a pretty big part of their strategy is to wait for serial abusers to do something stupid and then penalize their accounts. It's an arms race. If they list all the things you can do to get a submission penalized, they're making it harder to catch serious abusers.
Just to be clear, Maher has an extreme distrust of modern medicine, to the point that it led me to almost totally abandon his show. For example, he gave the fraud Sam Chachoua an inordinate amount of airtime for someone claiming he can cure HIV with goat's milk. As far as I know Maher is still an antivaxxer, as well. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bill_Maher#Medicine

Anyways, I've realized to take Maher's views and endorsements regarding the medical field with a grain of salt.
EU won't sacrifice food safety for US trade deal: Germany
Not how I think about it.

It's looking at ROI. And the cost of education typically correlates with quality and long-term earnings. (Put your pitch forks down, not all schools, just generally.) So, if I think about this on a 20 year horizon. I have a $50K degree program at a state school vs a $200K degree from Harvard (numbers rounded). Lets just use 10% as the ROI. At 10% over 20 years, the return on the state school is ~$336,000. For Harvard, this yields ~$1,350,000. So, the ROI might be the same, but you basically get an extra million over 20 years for getting into Harvard.
Maybe that's how I hired three German developers working remotely for my SF/London based company?

Their online tech, bundled apps, and the Aqua GUI style don't need to be opened up for macOS* itself + the Kits + Finder to be open sourced.

If people could reliably and legally install it on any PC they want it could still cut into Windows' share a lot more than it currently can.

It's not hard to imagine that before long, enterprising people will release custom "distros" of it, say with an up-to-date OpenGL, or even a Wine/DirectX emulation layer baked in so we can just double-click on any .exe and have it run natively.
