> How do I REALLY do something about this other than a few pretentious yet barely discomforting lifestyle changes and the odd empassioned few sentences at dinner parties?

I would recommend the Mr. Money Mustache blog. While its premise is early retirement/financial independence, the author writes extensively about lifestyle design. His actual (self-stated) goal is to save humans from destroying themselves.

The prescriptions sound drastic at first (ride a bike for any trip under 10 miles?!) but it turns out they also make you healthier and richer.
While this is something I'm generally curious of, especially with regex vulnerabilities being such a hot topic in software right now. See, for example, the regex issue last week that caused Stack Overflow to go down [0]. That aside, my concern stems solely from being a 1Password customer.

One of my favorite little hobbies is to draw portraits without looking down at the paper. Sometimes I do it with care, really making an effort to make my hand trace the shapes I see... but often I do it about as quickly as I can, which induces a different kind of enjoyable flow.

It's a well-known kind of drawing exercise, probably popularized by the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and the idea is to cut off the rationally interpreting part of the mind and encourage you to see directly and just kind of directly connect your hand to your visual perception.

Yeah, it does feel like a way to let go. It's very fun, and often turns out weirdly brilliant absurd portraits. Try it at parties! I've found that kids find it very fun too.
The missing penultimate pre-rhotic "e" in the name is a pretty good clue that you shouldn't have mentioned Encryptr.
Yep. Yep, yep, yep. And Twitter's response is to ban some, but not all harassers, using the algorithm of "whoever is high profile and we don't like politically." That gives said harassers surprisingly legitimate reasons to claim censorship by Twitter as a company, despite the fact that they were in clear violation of Twitter's ToS and deserved to be banned.

I refer of course to the Milo Yiannopoulos situation (edit: I said the article didn't mention. I missed the mention.). The man deserved what he got, but there are dozens of accounts that were his "executors" - doing the actual harassment for him in many cases - who got off scot-free, while he remains banned. There is no consistency.

I think there's a possibility that the arbitrary enforcement is partially because Twitter knows that if it were consistent in enforcing its own rules, so much of its population of users would disappear that it would be hobbling itself.

The only "safe" way to use Twitter now is as an echo chamber - only follow people you like, only talk to people who think the same way you do. That's a waste.
Very common in Slice of Life/Highschool Life shows. It is essentially the Japanese equivalent of the Football Star/Quarterback dating the Head Cheerleader trope.
Talk to him, find out his motivation. You may find out that he's not out to get you and breached the server just for fun and recognition, in which case it'd be easier to sort out if you just talk.

Not only battery life, I would really like for my laptops to not potentially start a fire because I decided to run something CPU intensive and some dust got into it.
Not so high when it really is the equivalent of an app-developer unaware that an iOS app won't run on Android.
Because of the way insurance prices are structured post-ACA, if you are old you are getting a big underwriting subsidy. If you are a typical billionaire, it is cheaper to purchase insurance than it is to self-insure, because part of your costs are being borne by younger premium holders. If you are a billionaire in your 20s you should probably self-insure for the same reason.

Under the ACA the maximum ratio between insurance rates for old and young is 3:1, but the Society of Actuaries estimates that healthcare costs for the elderly are roughly 4.8 times as expensive[1].

Except that Steam houses thousands of games by various developers, not a small set of games built and designed by Valve. It would be pretty difficult, but not impossible, to remove that dependency.
The banning of Milo is beyond hypocritical, the person he was "harassing" said far worse things, yet she remains and keeps her little blue check. What a joke.
I don't think the author knows the definition of "violence"
There are more than a few cases where working for below market rate can be something other than "terrible" on the part of the employer.

Non-profits are the obvious example where the business typically just can't afford to pay market, but employees accept sub-market pay because they place value on the opportunity to (hopefully) help others.

Companies that offer extraordinary benefits to the employee that may or may not have direct cash value and are often not included when applicants consider "total compensation". Training and learning opportunities are an example of this. Short term loss as investment towards long term gain.
I created a parody account for a celebrity, which was getting quite popular. Without discussing it first, they just removed the account and ignored 3 x emails asking them why. I was gutted.
This is like saying that you can help avoid another financial meltdown like 2008 by not taking out mortgages on homes you can't afford... And by divesting from AIG.

While in some sense, this is technically correct, it does not actually address the problem.

Much as with the financial crisis, what we have here is a case of the 80/20 rule - or rather, the 99.99980/0.00020 rule. 0.00020% of the people have almost all the power to combat global warming. (They aren't using it.)

You're right, I missed it somehow. Sorry.
You bought all the junk. Thinkpads and expensive Dells and HPs are good. So is the surface book. The brands you listed are good at making low quality laptops. Their high end sucks. Lenovo's high end is top-notch and their low end is not as good as Acer's for example.

Well, like any good social media platform, they have no actual support. It's impossible by design to ever speak to an actual human who works at Twitter except via form-email smoke signals.
I find it hilarious that the answer to this isn't obvious.

As pre-built word vectors go, Conceptnet Numberbatch [1], introduced less flippantly as the ConceptNet Vector Ensemble [2], already outperforms this on all the measures evaluated in its paper: Rare Words, MEN-3000, and WordSim-353.

This fact is hard to publicize because somehow the luminaries of the field decided that they didn't care about these evaluations anymore, back when RW performance was around 0.4. I have had reviewers dismiss it as "incremental improvements" to improve Rare Words from 0.4 to 0.6 and to improve MEN-3000 to be as good as a high estimate of inter-annotator agreement.

It is possible to do much, much better than Google News skip-grams ("word2vec"), and one thing that helps get there is lexical knowledge of the kind that's in ConceptNet.

>Yahoo's shareholders decided to hire Marissa

It was the Board of Directors who hired her, the shareholders are asked to approve (essentially a rubberstamp)

She was far, far from a zero-risk hire. She had only worked for one company, had zero executive experience at the level required at Yahoo.

This looks interesting. I'll have to check out battery life.
I am probably in a very small minority, but I have never seen the point of Twitter. It has almost limitless potential to destroy your life by taking something out of context and copying it to millions. I shudder to think of the number of times I have made a tasteless throwaway comment or colourful joke that, if taken out of context, would have had dire consequences.

It has almost limitless potential to take up all your attention, trying to stay up to date with what everyone is saying.

I can't think of a single thing I am missing out on, by not having an active Twitter account, but can think of many reasons to not have one.
Twitter is partially owned by a Saudi prince. We'll be pretending if we said it doesn't change things.
Terrible suggestion. Razer's products do not remotely meet the fit and finish of Apple's products.

I'm typing on a Razer Blade Stealth right now that I've had since February and it is already falling apart, with most of the screws on the bottom plate falling off and a trackpad that constantly sticks. The fans buzz and brush against their metal grills often enough that you have to gently slap the side of the laptop to make it stop. I've also had its USB-C charger literally fall apart when the USB-C connector came off, which then had to be replaced in its entirety. The 2015 MacBook charger at least let you swap the cable, which was a lot more sane since it appears USB-C is fragile.

After 10~ years of owning Apple laptops, this was a rude awakening of how bad it can be not buying one. I'm hoping moving to a Thinkpad next will not be a similar disaster.

This is all ignoring the insanely bad support from the Razer Web store, which was probably the worst ordering experience I've ever had. Their support is so infamously bad, that even the fans on /r/razer usually defending the company beyond any sense of proportion will admit it is bad.
If you do business together in a country, you have to follow the laws of that country. Xiaomi does no "official" business here and there is nothing for apple to sue.

There's a big gap between "something should be done" and "we should do this specific thing" in which so much politics must happen.

Really the UK needs some kind of energy strategy other than hoping for the market and the Large Combustion Plant directive to sort it out. It needs to be a "yes, and" strategy - there's no reason to set up a dichotomy between renewables and nuclear, that merely prevents progress on either. We need to keep provisioning renewables until the night-time issue becomes significant. Really we ought to have done more with tidal and wave power rather than allow Pelamis to become bankrupt.

Does Twitter have to be Facebook to not be "fucked"?

I don't understand these statements that "Twitter is fucked". Twitter could improve filtering and safety but if it never changed I'd probably still get my news from it for the rest of my life. I just can't think of a better app for my use cases. I often like Twitter Moments, like something funny or some pop culture stuff I wouldn't have picked up on.

Every time there is breaking news Twitter carries it first.

I don't want longer tweets. That's what URL's are for. If you want to discuss really distill your thoughts and thread them. I'm on here to scan for stuff that lights up my brain not have an Op-Ed shoved in my face taking up the whole screen.

I just don't understand. I love twitter.
I use KeePass as well, but I have never tried it with a browser extension. That seems a little dangerous to me.
I've talked to several Facebook devs who confirmed to me that FB primarily uses MySQL as a key-value store (e.g. this is why GraphQL makes so much sense for them). They were quick to point out however that of course they don't know everything FB does.

The problem with making absolute statements about what FB does is that it seems to be structured as a large number of mostly independent teams that are free to choose and develop whatever technology they need to solve their problems. There's actually a talk about scaling by a FB dev (don't have the link right now) that uses this as an example for what it means when they talk about "Facebook scale" (another example is that their monorepo outgrew git so they created their own extension to mercurial instead).

It's entirely possible that the main use of MySQL at FB is as a key-value store while at the same time there are small parts of applications using it with plain old queries and joins.

Trying to stop people trolling, insulting or having bad behavior is a waste of time. Instead of that, make tools so people can filter the noise properly.
I'm sympathetic to the author's general ideas, but also find myself perturbed by the myopic cheapening of the term "violence". (chars < 140)
It's an interesting treatise, but I suggest the author is describing media in general. Tech has only amplified the faults of media: emotionally visceral and passionate (i.e. as opposed to dispassionate or objective) news gets the clicks.

Very proud and 'credible' news outlets face this problem and it's real. Either get the clicks or go out of business.
> Actually that sounds some what depressing:( If you are an algo trader, then you are always running.

This is so true and what eventually made me exit this line of work.

In most other forms of human endeavor, time works in your favor. If you're a dentist or plumber for example, as time passes, you gain more experience, build a customer base, can charge more for your accumulated skills, etc. Not so in algorithmic trading. The things that work well today slowly stop working, and you have no recourse. Always on the treadmill. I eventually decided that I didn't want the sustained worry of "what new thing must I invent today so that I can pay rent next year?"
Definitely considering one, but I have yet to see one in person :/
Twitter is best for announcing things: events, blog posts, updates, software version and the like, plus maybe a link. Anything else is unfit for the platform. The strings are too short.

> Restricted shares may not be used to back a loan

This is not true. All manner of restricted stock units (granted to insiders) and unregistered stock (not publicly traded) can be used as collateral for loans (though some issuers make you sign documents promising not to do so). I have been asked to appraise private stock for lenders and render an opinion around its volatility and liquidity.
Rely on a single answer? That sounds like a bad idea. Considering advice from a bunch of accounts that are active, not 3 days old, and many of them overlap or say the same thing? Or an answer with many upvotes and no odd comments on serverfault/security.stackexchange.com? I think that's as good advice as you're going to get from any security firm.
You say that like you're unaware that NYC basically runs NY from the perspective of anyone living anywhere but the NYC are in NY.

Same for CA and SV, MA and Boston, IL and Chicago. In states with one dominant city that city runs the show for the most part. If the dominant city can't get something done it's either because it's BS and shouldn't get done in the first place, would screw most of the rest of the state or because they need to wait to politically recharge after ramming something that fell into one of the former two categories down everyone's throat.
carmax is. i've got a friend who sell there. it definitely is no haggle, and there's not much pressure (maybe in your head, but really nothing from him anyway).

Their prices are generally a bit higher than an equivalent car somewhere else; that's the price you're paying for not having to concern yourself with haggling.

The OTR (over the road) trucks are built on multi-million mile chassis, so they get driven until they can't be repaired any more. I wouldn't doubt that some owner-operators are bypassing the emissions systems, even though those trucks tend to get better mileage. A few years ago, 6 mpg was considered good. Now 8.5 mpg is not uncommon.

You're not in the minority, you're in the majority.

Not that many people actually use Twitter.

That you think you are in the minority is a weird cultural phenom - people with the loud voices behaviours signal to us what is 'normative' even if it is not!

Because you see a lot of people using Twitter, you think 'everyone's doing it'. In reality - most people are far more neutral/central than the voices in the web. And most people just don't care about such things.

Try ignoring Twitter for a few months. You won't feel left out, trust me. It's mostly noise.

Trucks usually need long range which isn't very good with electric since that adds weight. Weight is a huge issue with trucks as well since they have load limits (some countries factor in the truck not just the haul). As trucks burn fuel they also become lighter, the effect isn't as huge as airplanes but it's still there.
I'm curious how you deduced that "Very few poor people work two jobs" or "High income individuals work very hard" from a census report that doesn't mention multiple job holding, and includes no information about hours worked.

Certainly not on the basis of that report, it's not.
