They could. The real issue is when you do a 'forgot password' and they send it to you. That's a big red flag.
they picked the similarity to the german word "wichsen" in their campaign in germany... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKDZmsy5yo it says "everyday million of people are wanking – wanking changed my live – when my girlfriend felt asleep, i'm going to wank – i love wanking – my wife convinced me to wank – i'm wanking after my training – to be honest, we wank together most of the times – wanking is the future" and the hardest/badest part is the last sentence "make it by yourself – be a wanker"
> I was defending it ;)

For sure, I was just trying to be forceful in my (same) opinion. It's a good example and good common sense.
> and had worse means of getting it.

Easy. It was harder and less acceptable to use international labor then, there were that many fewer college educated people, and that's 36 years behind the current level of automation technology.
The decision by Uber and Lyft to temporarily abandon Austin (game theory suggests that both will be back, I suspect within months) may backfire on them, as the drivers discover that they really don't need them. All the drivers need is a dispatch service to coordinate the data from their phones. What makes an Uber driver? A sticker and an app on your phone? That's precious little value to deliver for the large bite Uber takes out of the driver's earnings. My prediction is that dispatch services like Uber and Lyft will become commodities, and the events in Austin will only accelerate that process.
You cannot compare German/Austrian Schöffen to an American amateur jury. They are semi-professionals appointed for 5 years, not random people doing a random case. And as you said, they form a panel with 3 professional judges and are not left alone in a room.
however if you buy them while they are still valued at the option price you also don't experience a taxable event .... and you can lock in the purchase as a potential capital gain (and possibly pay lower tax when you do sell them) ... the down side is you've invested in something you probably can't get back until when (and if) it goes public.

So the time I was a founder and got 100k options at 1c I bought the stock and started the capital gains clock ticking (but then lost the $1k when things crashed and burned). But when I got 10000 options at $1, I didn't buy them for $10k, but made $250k when the company went public -but paid tax at my marginal rate (43% in CA).

You have to make choices depending on your circumstances and tolerance for risk
There certainly are "respected and well-understood" "standard" texts, for example, the Apache or GPL licenses are widely understood and are used for "all kinds of applications already." The legal analyses of these texts runs into the millions of pages; we know quite a lot about them at this point.

What I believe you misunderstand is that "the aim" or "the whole concept" of an EULA is not to explain things clearly to end users. On the contrary, "the aim" of an EULA is to offer terms that are favorable to the licensor (and thus unfavorable to the end user), and this aim is best accomplished when the user does not especially comprehend the document. In other words, "the aim" of an EULA is to be obfuscatory.

Anyone who wanted to use a standard document has many options to choose from that are probably familiar to you. ISVs who have passed over the ten-or-so standard texts that you are familiar with will not be convinced by an eleventh.
Yeah this is classic shitty design from Go. One-off compiler hack that doesn't actually address any of the actual safety problems.

My kickass music library.
Spot on. Every time I mention the high price of homes and how hard it is for non-boomers to enjoy such things as their own home, possibility of kids, family, stable jobs, there's never a shortage of defenders telling me that I'm out of line: they didn't live in a McMansion and get a new iPhone every year; younger folk have it easy and complain too much.

Well sorry, the exact same 1200 ft^2 brick home built in the 50s, that you bought for 2 year's salary (with a high school education) in the 70's, NOW costs 6 times my salary (or 12 times the median salary for the area).

The $600 iPhone which I absolutely need for any modern job (thanks to BYOD) isn't gonna make a dent in the cost of housing, health care, and college these days.
Maybe one could let organizations register with social media platforms as a political speech organization. This would opt them out of algorithmic timelines and ensure that their followers always see their broadcasts. There would have to be some sort of downside, though, otherwise everyone would sign up as a political entity. Maybe if you're political you never show up in suggestions/organic recommendedations? The decision to self-identify as political speech would have to be in the hands of the indivudual orgs, otherwise you'd have the same filtering problem where people would just make speech they don't like as non-political.
The article says "Note that a transaction is using a DB-level lock that prevents concurrent writes—and sometimes reads—from the affected tables."

In innodb locks are row-level; myisam supports table-level locks though that's not and shouldn't be confused with a transaction; I don't know what a "database-level" lock is supposed to mean, are they really saying they're locking all tables to do a write? It doesn't sound like this author understands what a transaction is.
There are plenty of republicans who believe their party is going off the deep end, Mitt Romney for example.

And I think there's a lot of insanity on the left too.

Thinking a liberal satirist made a good point does not make one a mindless tribal zombie.

Think they will be rich... Wait until the health care and other end of life costs start to add up. Even here in the UK they can be high, if you end up spending time in a 'home' that can quickly eat through savings. So unless there are amazing full life health care and other insurance policies covering these guys then there is ever chance that all that money could go.
I believe other cultures have just as much of a sense of freedom and individualism, but the family dynamics are different in a way that parents themselves understand that freedom.

If you moved back with your parents, I assume the problems would be as much yours as theirs. As if they would expect to still be treating you as a child. I've seen that with all my American friends and relatives and that's the reason all of them hate being home: they cannot stand their parents treating them as kids. It's a really weird thing.

In other cultures I have experience with (South America), the kids' individualism and freedom grow as they grow, even if they're under the same roof. In other words, their identity comes from their own growth, not from being sent away. It's common for people to still live with their parents well into their 30s -- normally, until they get married, although it's common to just move your partner in. And when that happens, they normally share (and gradually take over) the costs and burden of living in the house.
I am a programmer in St. Louis. I won't pretend that it's anywhere near the market that larger cities on the coasts are, but there are plenty of jobs to go around.

It used to be the case that all of those jobs were at MEGACORP, but that's no longer true. You can find just about whatever you're looking for.
It is typical of a hamburger eating American to generalize an entire generation.
Without bias how do you pick your stories? Without bias how do you pick your sources? Bias towards official sources is ubiquitous.

Bias is an integral part of journalism, it's up to the reader to understand this fact and collect information from multiple sources (if they're so inclined).
Did I miss the point where Trump offered something that looks like a vaguely plausible solution to the problem that in recent periods of aggregate growth, that growth has largely been captured at the top end of the income distribution?
Yeah, they are a bit over-the-top. I only want it for the ability to wear sunglasses and use it to code. They have existed for a while, and you can buy direct, but they are too expensive at normal price. I think they are doing a crowd-funder simply to drive sales.

I got email from them (as I enquired previously) that explained they were making them currently, and you could pay via Paypal full price and get them right away, or via IndieGogo and get them for less, but have to wait a couple of months.

I don't think the way they do business is great, and one of their founders is a science fiction writer apparently, but as far as I could find, they are the only people making e-ink displays for this use-case. I've researched a lot, and I have not been able to find any other similar product actually in production. Lots of small demo videos, and broken links.

I have tried the jailbroken kindle, and it was pretty rubbish experience, I really hope the Dasung product at least works as it is depicted.
I photographed students just prior to going into their senior year of high school for the last 10 years, and I don't feel it's getting any better. In this area there were two trends that stood out sharply:

1. A rise in the number of grandparents raising the kids rather than their own parents.

2. A decrease in the number of students that had any kind of plans or ambitions for post-high school life.

Also interesting that when the Magna Carta was first penned, we had an entirely different idea of who a freeman's peers were.
Additionally, declining union membership means current workers have less ability to bargain for better wages.
In case you missed it, the author confirmed the tests were accidentally using the development version of React, which is significantly slower due to the additional warnings and sanity checks. The actual results seem to be much less surprising.
So instead of solidifying a good product, they should just keep forcing people to use a shitty product that they clearly don't want?
You are actively trying to change how you think. It's not necessarily thinking about nothing. In many cases it's about coming at the same thoughts from a different perspective, often an external and non-judgemental one.

It really depends on which tradition or practice of meditation you're talking about. In the exercise I go through, it's different because it's specifically focused on acknowledging whatever thoughts come through without judging or reacting to them like I would impulsively. Being able to accept especially the negative thoughts at face value helps me a lot with managing the coping process.
Yes, salaries are lower. But they aren't 8-10 times lower. A 1000 ft^2 bungalow that costs a million dollars in Palo Alto can be had for around a hundred grand here.

And, no, it won't be in a place that's as nice as Palo Alto, but it will be in a perfectly reasonable working-class neighborhood. It's up to you to decide if that tradeoff is worth it.

One way to clarify your own thoughts on this is to imagine the reverse. If you were from St. Louis and somebody gave you a million dollars, would you spend every penny of it to buy a house in Palo Alto?
> What would happen if everybody disregards any law they don't agree with?

About the same thing that would happen if someone government used a "because we don't like it" clause to arbitrarily punish legal behavior. Essentially an anarchy where legality depends on the media-savvy lying to everyone else rather than the text or the intent of the law.

Get too successful and you'll be cut down to size by the jealous, and by those promising your money to them.

Pardon me if I see both of those as wrong, not only the one.
Productivity gains came from capital, e.g. computers, automation, etc.

This makes labor less valuable, and decreases labour's negotiating power, preventing an increase in wage from an increase in productivity.

That is, if your work is augmented by a machine, then it's a hell of a lot easier to replace you.
I don't see any such refutation in the OP. And our standard of living is obviously far higher than at any time in the past. Even given wage (lack of) changes, the access to more and better medicines, having at our fingertips the entire artistic output of the history of the world, safer and longer-lasting cars, longer life expectancy, ubiquitous and free to nearly-free instantaneous communication, ubiquitous good sanitation, refrigeration, lower crime rates, lower pollution, and on and on.

I can't fathom how anyone can claim that virtually any American is better off than his counterpart from any time in the past. So let's do a thought experiment: can you pick a past time in USA history where you'd like to be transported, keeping everything else (such as your economic quintile) equal, where you'd be better off? Or forget about keeping things equal, would you rather go back a hundred years and be in John Rockefeller's shoes? There's a good argument to be made [1] that you're better off than he was.

And yet, people spend hours straining to see iPads and laptops in the sun! The video thing is a killer. I was really excited with some very promising demos etc. but I am frustrated that this seems to be the only device to have made it into production, and that is only available as direct by from China, nobody is retailing these!
Had to laugh at the thought of Austin as too conservative.

And given that both Uber and Lyft have headquarters in San Francisco, they could hardly be less "tax-fleeing"!

No, asking which has less external dependencies to get up and going fast.
Will Pipelines remain free for Bitbucket Cloud users?
I don't entirely disagree with your post but I generally avoid calling these loopholes. It is all about finding the mismatch between two countries --

For example, if a little kid asks his dad if he can go to the movies, and dad replies "go ask mom, do what she says" and the kid then asks mom and mom says "whatever dad said" it doesn't mean that you are necessarily finding a loophole. Either party is essentially deferring and the benefit is caught in between. Works out well for the kid but at the end of the day, the parents probably should have had better communication and figured out what to do.
Rousseff Says Leaked Recording Proves Her Ouster Was a Coup
I actually saw articles on mainstream news sites saying Uber/Lyft had threatened to leave if the vote passed. I'm sure plenty of people's votes weren't what they intended.
TrailDB is optimized for a very specific data model (http://traildb.io/docs/technical_overview/#data-model) which allows it to do compression that you couldn't do with other data layouts.

TrailDB is a C library, Parquet and Avro are not. Depending on your use case this might be a pro or a con.
The FUD is implying they've made significant progress. You're right, "we don't know" isn't really a falsifiable statement, in this context.
That is an awesome way to describe scalability! Can you give a couple of examples?

It would be interesting to know how the TSA-free airports are doing. How many passengers is San Francisco losing, or gaining? Given the widespread view of the TSA's lack of competence (which has been easily demonstrated by tests), I suspect it's not losing any.

It varies. I've been through lots of airline-run security checks outside the USA and they've all been fine.
Exercise is important, and it might help prevent depression, but the good quality evidence we have says that exercise is at best a weak treatment for depression for some people, and not at all a treatment for the rest.
The API can easily do this, and AFAIK any Twitter client you're likely to run into already does this. The SMS interface doesn't appear to support this, though.
Why is windows 10 a shitty product?

Why is windows 7 a good product?
Right. Labor = citizens. Citizens = votes. And as a society, we can decide to tax your productivity to provide for said citizens (Human being quality of life > profits).

Everyone so quickly forgets, "Let them eat cake."
Cool perspective, I never considered that, makes sense!
The problem with Lisps is that generally speaking, they're all interpeted, which means type errors are discovered at runtime. Which sucks for maintenance.
We looked at Fastlane and thought it looks very interesting, but because we didn't have personal experience with it, we decided to go with what we know: Bitrise for the CI, CodePush for the app live updates.

We would love see contributions that add Fastlane configurations though. If you're interested in helping out, please open a GitHub issue and let's discuss what should be done.

“I think people are going to die because we haven’t taken enough preventive action. And, unfortunately, I don’t think the political will is there, or will be there, until there’s a catastrophic event.”
I was born in the same year and this is true for me, too. I'm considered crazy because I still choose to rent. Again: I am considered a weirdo for not owning in my thirties. That is a normal sentiment among the working and middle classes in the Midwest.

I don't think people on the coasts really understand this. My girlfriend moved here from Boston by way of NYC. She still can't believe the apartment we rent Downtown. In her mind this is an apartment for people much wealthier than we are.
Why would you need per-thread geometry caches? That doesn't really make sense (memory duplication)...
What you'd do is just map the geometry + bvh into a serialisable format (like vraymesh) such that they can be fread() in one go pretty quickly. You could put heuristics in to not page out very small meshes...

But unless you batch and re-order rays (and I'm not convinced doing this is worth it if you're doing more than 3/4 bounces, as the incoherence just makes things a nightmare), there's no point really doing this (unless you're happy with very slow performance - even mmapping stuff is slow).
Marissa Mayer: Yahoo CEO Failed to Turn Company Around

I'm wondering how that will turn out. It looks like cars will be seen more and more as a service rather than as a product. And Apple has more experience in making products that people want to own.

The beauty of open source is that people who want new features can submit pull requests. ;-)
I'll agree that memory and type issues are more of a barrier, but the variable naming is just convention of the programmer. There is a lot of legacy code where brevity in naming was emphasized, but that was just the convention of the time, nothing inherent in the language. it doesn't need to be that way.

Your example looks like completely valid C code to me (except for the lack of semi-colon).
You can't make it "dead simple" when some of the concepts are not "dead simple." Let me give you the example of debt vs equity. Just because the company/lender codes it as such, does not make it so. What might be treated as interest deductions may ought to be treated as dividends instead. It may be difficult to make this entirely automated.

Not well.

It is a terrible option when there are much better alternatives available.

It's discussing and means to be discussing organizational culture. The business model, controls, and processes are artifacts of the underlying hidden culture. This is what the beginning of the article is discussing, when it talks about going three degrees down. Think of Conway's Law: An organization is constrained to design systems that mirror its structure. This is basically the same thing, but abstracted a level; the organizational structures themselves are constrained to be shaped by the business' underlying assumptions.

("Tech culture", such as your example of code reviews, is usually an example of controls and processes. What controls and processes exist for creation and deployment of software? If we were making widgets on the factory floor instead, the fact that these aren't "culture" as being discussed would be more immediately obvious.)
Ah, I see what you're saying. Good suggestion. Thanks.
