When I was young, my parents brought me to church for a little while just for something to do. They believed, but they didn't really care, so it wasn't anything that was discussed in my household. Looking back on it, I only cared what they said, not anyone else, so I ignored all the church BS and just played or whatever.

I think that if you bring your kids to church, they'll still look to you for what to believe (or not to believe!). Be straight with them, though. Tell them that you're just going there to have something to do. My parents pretty much said that and I didn't have any problem with it. Maybe ask them not to repeat that in front of others though.

Perhaps it's my grey beard showing, but after getting the 2.9 beta some few months ago and trying shell integration... I hated it. It took away all of the speed gains iTerm had gotten, and offered remarkably little benefit.

I already have history. I already have my git branch and $? in my $PS1. The restore functionality attempts to run across intentional shutdowns and box restarts, mucking with an otherwise clean terminal. I've yet to find a practical use for multiple profiles, let alone automated profile switching.

Can we just keep getting speed and polish, and set aside the new features for awhile?
I am still not sure why it is a good idea to let millions get displaced from the ancestral lands, having hundreds of them dying while trying to migrate and then the remaining ones living isolated lives in alien countries with those countries supporting them by spending billions of dollars every year and having culture and way of life changed forever. Compare this to taking on ISIS once and for all which numbers about 30,000 - 40,000 fighters. Wouldn't it be better to spend those billions of dollars and take on some inevitable loss of life and annihilate them forever. From where did we all start believing in the defeatist mentality that world cannot take on ISIS? That land belongs to the Syrians and Iraqis and not to some 7th century cult. The best solution is to return that land to whom it belongs rather than taking millions of refugees and creating problems from them as well as for ourselves. If you want to take in refugees then there is no end to it, billions of ppl would like to move to Europe or USA. Whom are you going to deny and on what basis?

> Church attendance isn't available to everyone. Specifically, LGBTQ folks are often excluded.

I have been to a lot of churches and I've never seen this happen.

> Why do people believe that this is unpopular to discuss?

The Bible offends people. And it's very strange to discuss church participation without discussing God and the Bible.

For example, I believe creating a godless (or even God agnostic) church will be ultimately a dead end (at least in the long term). I'd be interested to read any research about these things, but I'm skeptical that it's even possible to study these things scientifically. Church dynamics play out over generations. You really need to watch organizations over many changes of leadership to see if they're really successful.

I realize that some people reading this reach for an empirical, practical approach to discovering whether it's possible to recreate the benefits of church without the theism. I'd be interested to hear what happens, but I suspect we'll all be dead before all the implications of the experiment are known. I'm not sure waiting around for a series of definitive studies is a good plan.

Place whatever value on this you like but I also had a Samsung 840 500GB SSD fail just last week that was almost exactly three years old. It came with a three year warranty so I guess that's the only upside.

It's maddening that not only can I not get back whatever data wasn't backed up (thankfully not much) but I have no way of wiping it before returning it under warranty.

The people who handle the returns for Samsung say returned drives will be "formatted". Given it's uunresponsive, this seems unlikely

It puzzles me why drive manufacturers don't offer data recovery for their own products as a value add service. Nobody could get the data off this drive as cheaply as Samsung themselves.
> "Like all other utopistic ideas that started with good intentions. or anybody considers communism a success?"

I've said this before but it bears repeating, communism has never been fully realised because it got stuck at the 'dictatorship of the proletariat' stage:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletaria...

"In Marxist sociopolitical thought, the dictatorship of the proletariat refers to a state in which the proletariat, or the working class, has control of political power.[1][2] The term, coined by Joseph Weydemeyer, was adopted by the founders of Marxism, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in the 19th century. In Marxist theory, the dictatorship of the proletariat is the intermediate system between capitalism and communism, when the government is in the process of changing the ownership of the means of production from private to collective ownership."

"Marxism–Leninism follows the ideas of Marxism and Leninism, seeking to establish a vanguard party, to lead proletarian uprising, assume state power on behalf of the proletariat, and create a single party socialist state. The socialist state, representing a dictatorship of the proletariat is governed through the process of democratic centralism, which Vladimir Lenin described as "diversity in discussion, unity in action." It remains the official ideology of the ruling parties of China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, and was the official ideology of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and the other ruling parties making up the Eastern Bloc."

IMO this intermediate step was the biggest mistake of those who attempted communism, the transition from this centrally-controlled state to a decentralised egalitarian is highly unlikely to work.

UBI on the other hand is not an attempt to build a utopia, and does not interfere with the freedom for people to choose where to work and what to spend their money on. It's just a better safety net to prepare for an increasingly uncertain future.

Every criticism on the Washington Post can be used against 99% of Newspapers in America. The transition to web has been rough and the ability to still turn a profit for a for profit business is difficult. I think the New York Times has done the best so far and Wall Street Journal is the industry leader. I can't think of a single example of doing a better job minus NYT and WSJ.

On some level, Japan's story isn't one of high hopes and stagnant results, it's one of amazing growth in face of reality. Even in our tech-rich, service-driven economies, national growth is still largely a function of population, space, and resources. Over a half-century, Japan modernized to near the peak of first world nations on a crowded, resource-poor island. With that played out, they're sustaining their position largely by adding value to the workforces and production capacities of other nations. You're absolutely right that a lot of Japan's corporate strength doesn't translate to GDP growth, but even flat GDP is damned impressive in a lot of ways.
Make it a co-op. Build restrictions into the corporate bylaws such that classes of members can check and balance acts like this. Implement profit-sharing, so not only would that 1% increase in fees help fund development, but it would also be returned in part to platform members. Of course it may be necessary to increase fees once you've got an actual idea of what your expenses will look like, and profit-sharing may necessitate a larger increase, but then everyone has incentive for the platform to succeed.
Agreed, and that's why it pays to have some fuck-you money set aside, so that you can survive a few more weeks while looking for another job.

Really bad for code though...

- the difference between uppercase and lowercase is too low making camelCase very hard to read

- the colon is aligned to the left of its space making ":=" look horrible

- "$" is hard to distinguish from "S"

- [] have funny vertical alignment

- every char is a bit wider than it should, wasting a lot of horizontal screen estate - what you want to avoid when working with 3+ columns of code on one screen

Bad compared even to Ubuntu Mono. Very bad compared to Source Code Pro. Horrible compared to Consolas.

For big sites, I have a hard time blaming it on a bad developer. Early in my career, I worked for a company that stored it's passwords in plain-text. I suggested on many occasions stop doing this and was always told no because the site had an older audience and they wanted to make it easy to send password reminders, which also meant they were emailing passwords in plain-text. This came from the tech director and CEO and none of the other devs seemed to care.

A few years after I left, their DB was compromised, so someone got a list of email addresses with clear text passwords.
if you loved austrailia so much, move back. you have to take the 'bad' with the good. we built a system that enables people with ideas to chase their dreams and succeed. that means companies have the ability to pay people with low skills and experience less than those with.

honestly, if you are being treated like a slave, move to another company. if you cant, you don't have skills employers want. get them.

during the recession, many companies used their position of power to their advantage. the smarter companies (and now more successful) used the recession as an opportunity to get the best workers.

the ironic thing is, to try and force employers to treat everyone like stellar employees would probably result in treating everyone poorly.

Exactly. And what's more, they are productive, even if they just subsist on UBI alone. They're getting their UBI mostly from extremely wealthy people, who would otherwise hoard it mostly. By redistributing it to poor people, it's going to be spread around in the economy more, creating economic gains. These people are going to spend it on rent, food, clothes, maybe a car, and various other stuff. They might not be creating any wealth, but they're advancing the economy, which will create wealth elsewhere (such as when someone comes up with a new business to provide a useful service to these UBI "leaches"). And more tax revenue will be generated from their economic activity too. This is why wealth concentration at the top is so bad: the wealth stagnates and does nothing for the economy when it's just held in offshore bank accounts; when it's spent, even on booze, it has many consequential effects: paying for bartenders, janitors at the pub, delivery drivers (maybe not with robo-trucks...), brewery employees, etc.

Finally, you never know what these "lazy" people will spawn: one of their kids could become a great author or scientist or something.

At least on Safari on OS X, the native browser player lets me download the source video file. The ClickToPlugin extension gives me this native player on YouTube videos, so I find this to be a much easier way to save simple videos.

However, this project seems to support way more than just simple downloads. Things like thumbnails, subtitles, and encoding parameters make this a much more involved tool for all sorts of advanced use cases. Cool!

I'm no journalism connoisseur, so take this with several grains of salt. I've always enjoyed the WP more than other non-paywall news sources due what I perceive to be less political slant (beats Huff-post, hands down).

Now I'm hungry ;)
There are so many ways to accomplish this other than what you did. I assume there was a reason for your choice, but it would have been so much easier if you could just create a separate table that matched the same primary key as the customer record, and contained a single other field, the data required to be searchable. Easy to join and search, easy to insert and update.

This is a huge leap to peg her at zero. She might have taken some money off the table in a round. She might have used her stock as leverage with a bank to invest elsewhere, making a decent return on it (though potentially leaving her over-leveraged if the banks call those loans).

They do have money to spend: their UBI check. Part of it will go to rent, but the rest will go to things like groceries/food, clothes, the local water and electric companies, the local Wawa/Sheetz, etc.

Layaway firms aren't that bad, it's the payday loan places that are bad. That can be fixed with legislation, if we stop electing crooks like Hillary and her buddy DWS who are in the pocket of the payday-loan industry.
It's hard to diversity when your entire "wealth" is determined by a fictional valuation on non-liquid stock. I can offer to buy .0001% of your company that you own 100% for $20. That doesn't make you worth $20 Million.
This certainly gives me food for thought.

Are you saying then that by allowing people to directly observe the wavefunction I'm not really demonstrating uncertainty at all? As that only arises when you force observation via position/momentum?

Also if a massless quantum particle is dispersionless does that mean you can say "the particle is in this small area and will stay here forever"? Doesn't that violate uncertainty?

What an interesting business fairy tale.
To be entirely fair, it is very easy to not be motivated by money when you have enough to last a lifetime. Sure, there are certainly many CEOs who use money as a measure of success, but its not like Mr. Musk is living in project housing and eating microwave pizza every night.

This is not to detract at all from what Mr. Musk is doing, its admirable and the world could use more people like him. However, it is important to maintain a perspective that grants that there could be a million Elon's, if only they had the resources to behave as he does.

Er, no. Everyone needs their independence to be protected. Just ask Tibetans, or Kuwaitis, or most of Europe. The fact is these offshore havens being nominally under British protection doesn't make one iota of difference to their tax laws or whether or not the businesses registered there do business with Britain. In fact Britain loses tax revenue just as much as anyone else, and has been working hard for decades to get these havens to tighten up their rules. But unfortunately annoying things like facts don't match the narrative this article is trying to spin

> (3) SQLite lets me insert a string into a database column of type integer!

> This is a feature, not a bug. SQLite uses dynamic typing. It does not enforce data type constraints. Data of any type can (usually) be inserted into any column. You can put arbitrary length strings into integer columns, floating point numbers in boolean columns, or dates in character columns. The datatype you assign to a column in the CREATE TABLE command does not restrict what data can be put into that column. Every column is able to hold an arbitrary length string. (There is one exception: Columns of type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY may only hold a 64-bit signed integer. An error will result if you try to put anything other than an integer into an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column.)

> But SQLite does use the declared type of a column as a hint that you prefer values in that format. So, for example, if a column is of type INTEGER and you try to insert a string into that column, SQLite will attempt to convert the string into an integer. If it can, it inserts the integer instead. If not, it inserts the string. This feature is called type affinity.

I did not know that.

I am... incredibly horrified.

I would, at least in the long run. There wouldn't be much point to being a Christian otherwise.

I see what you're saying, but how can one get a market forces involved so that the price of care isnt super high and that users have some choice.

I have lived in a country with universal healthcare. Its not that cheap, my portion of taxes that went to healthcare was about the same as the highest cost Kaiser plan. But Kaiser (thus far) is leaps and bounds better than the care received.

Where I am from you make an appointment with a doctor, and they will almost certainly be 30-60 minutes late for it. Then when you do get in the room with them, they will give you 15 minutes max because thats all the government pays for. Similarly every person I know who needed something done is on a waiting list. For months and a small number for years.

People complain about the cost of US healthcare, but if you can pay for it then it does seem excellent.

Ok, this is interesting. Some of this fits my intuitions, and some was a surprise to me, so yes, this does modify my view, but only slightly.

It seems there are preventative measures that are cost effective, and there are others that are not. So really, this indicates a need to determine a threshold. Perhaps we determine that we can afford to pay up to $50,000 per QALY, and cover any care that falls within that limit. So, we'd have coverage based on its efficiency rather than whether it is considered preventative or treatment or maintenance. The idea being to get the maximum amount of healthy years of life out of whatever amount of money we as society are willing to put toward healthcare. This could also be extended to programs outside of direct care, like some of those articles suggest, which encourage and support healthy activity in a way that still falls within the $/QALY target.

Of course, I expect it would be a bear to fairly study every possible treatment and program to determine its efficiency, especially factoring in a changing environment which is bound to change the efficiency of any given treatment from year to year.

Still, at a minimum, we should be grabbing those low-hanging fruits, where we can gain healthy years for a very low cost.
