I mostly read business management books, but since most of them can be summarized in a couple pages (or a single big blog post, really) I just skim and skip through the hundreds of uninteresting anecdotes and simply stop reading after I grasp the concept of the book. Takes me a couple of hrs in total per book.
They do receive funding from the government though, which comes from taxpayers. Also, the DNC's rules specifically ban bias towards a candidate in the primaries.
You didn't ask me, but, several things:

- This is the second serious security incident with them. Nobody's immune to bugs, but I haven't seen a similar history with AgileBits.

- LastPass has, IMHO, terrible UI/UX. Things don't work consistently, there are weird, unexpected pauses that look like malfunctions until something visible happens; it took me a comparatively long time to figure out how to map common actions to the gestures that perform them; and finally, this is way down the priority list, but I find it generally kind of ugly. I suspect some of these complaints are partially linked to the next point.

- Lastpass is more trouble than it is worth in Safari/Mac.

I've used 1Password personally since 2008-ish, and think I've had exactly one nontrivial problem with it in that time, which was my fault. (There was some upgrade-path weirdness with the iOS version several years ago, and I left a device unused long enough that it ended up with orphaned data I couldn't sync. I forget the details of what exactly happened.)

1Password Teams didn't exist when my company started using Lastpass, but I'm hoping to get switching onto the low-priority project list.

But with regard to your question, the obvious explanation is that the voting method itself acts as a game theory attractor for a certain number of "viable" candidates, until a Nash equilibrium is reached. First-past-the-post thus eventually results in an entrenched two-party system.

This alone is ample reason for those two parties to resist any change to the voting method. Anything else might undermine their duopoly.

I believe you 100%. You're comparing top tier companies to 2nd tier companies though. Stack Overflow is a second tier company. I mean that in terms of size and wealth level, not in terms of quality, obviously.

Google et al pays WAY above market compared to smaller tech companies. whenever these threads come up there's a lot of cognitive dissonance that goes on. a lot of Googlers or Facebookers will come in and say "WTF this is waaaaay too low" and they don't even realize how inflated their own salaries are compared to most of the rest of the world. they should be thankful for the largesse of their employer and get some perspective.
> Storage is still pretty limited on laptops. For example even on Macbook Pro you are still stuck with max 1TB. If you carry your computer around, external storage is pretty inconvenient.

Outside of Macbooks, though, there's a wide range of available storage options. Outside laptops, even wider. To OP's point, this seems like a limiting factor only until it isn't. If people are feeling the pain from Macbook storage limitations, it's a fair bet that the next iteration will let you go further. And the same applies across the board, including mobile.

The difference a few individual voters can make in local elections is certainly huge. Over time I've seen multiple initiatives and candidates I liked or disliked decided on only a handful of votes.

However, I don't think this is a sufficient argument to motivate people who would refuse to vote because of the state of the presidential election. I think they would feel that local educational or policing policies are insignificant in comparison to the big-picture changes they now have no say in because their favored candidate was eliminated by corrupt party and media practices. They might still feel that they will be more affected by the year-to-year impact of foreign policy and trade policy than the day-to-day impact of a .1% chance increase of getting a bogus traffic ticket.

The primary reason people use eBay over Amazon for the same product isn't lack of price comparision, it's shipping. A lot of these resellers offer to ship the product to a broader range of companies than Amazon. Anyone who has lived outside of the US will know exactly what I'm talking about. I live in Canada and Amazon.com will list a simple product for $20 and the same one will be $35 in Canada, for no apparent reason (that goes well beyond tarrifs). Plus shipping will be another $10 when it's nearly free in the US.

This is why 3rd party arbitrage is good for the economy. It fills in gaps in supply/demand.

> Landings are for all intents and purposes silent

What altitude were the planes?

Over Fulham (in London), it's about 3000ft and they're audible as a background rumble. They're so frequent the noise never really stops.

By Richmond at 1800ft it's not possible to have a British-volume conversation outside (Americans might be OK…). By Hounslow (down to ~200ft as they cross the airport boundary) it's uncomfortable.

Heathrow's own numbers say 700,000 Londoners have >55dBA noise from flights. (This is mostly landings, as prevailing winds mean take-off is usually away from London.)

> It's interesting that you consider OSX to be dominant when it's market share is closer to Linux than Windows.

And yet for many years Apple has earned more profits in desktop sales than the entire Windows OEM community put together, and not by a little. Linux desktop sales aren't even a blip on the chart.

Linux will probably never go away (for some arbitrary definition of 'never), but it's just not a contender in the consumer market or in terms of commercial consumer software. It's just become synonymous with UNIX and consumed the niche occupied by Unixes.

I've gotta throw in a counterpoint about Leviathan Wakes. The Expanse is my favorite new space opera series; it's pure entertainment that makes for great summer poolside reading. If they publish 100 of them, I will read them.

That said, Leviathan Wakes is perhaps the weakest in the series. The noir/detective plot feels like a crutch. The authors borrowed some tropes before they found their voice. If you need literary prose - or prefer your sci-fi philosophical - then these maybe aren't for you.

But if you like damn good fun, and like plot-driven novels that hinge on the stubbornness of physics and economics, give The Expanse a chance.

Even at the current state Apple Pay is outperforming Twint and Paymit combined. In a few weeks Apple Pay will have surpassed the combined Twint and Paymit volume. In a year or two it will become obvious that Twint and Paymit are going nowhere and everybody will offer Apple Pay. At least one big issuer besides Cornèr already supports Apple Pay but hasn't rolled it out yet for political reasons.

Until then, vote with your wallet, cancel your credit card, get a CornèrCard or derivative like BonusCard. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter who your issuer is.

Lying is only a crime when it's under oath. Hypocrisy is bad, too, but it's not illegal. And party leaders are free (in the legal sense) to lie all they want, though if they want continued political support it's probably a poor strategy.

Before we are too quick to call on the law to support our side, consider what happens when that same law is used against us by our opponents. Right now you may want DNC leaders in jail, but I think it would set a terrible precedent for private political activities to result in imprisonment, regardless of our distaste for them. Again, the situation is very different when peoples' Constitutional voting rights are denied (eg, voting in a real election). Then by all means, legal action should be taken.

The end result is what matters for most people, not the politics. Discovering a cure for ALS would be an amazing medical feat.

To answer your question, the ALS association raises public awareness about ALS, provides care services to ALS patients and distributes funding to research projects on ALS. The politics to when one of these research facilities discover a cure for ALS is up to them. They are just receiving grants from the ALS Association.
> Yes, we can't determine at compile time that the following is a type error: (snippet)

> Further, one can imagine a hypothetical dynamic language where we parameterize types, too: (snippet)

If you're going to take the trouble to specify that it's an integer list, might as well use a statically typed language, right? When you use a dynamically typed language, presumably the point is to not have to worry about static types.

> The reason, I think, that this isn't done is that once you get to the point where you're putting type parameters like this, you've lost most of the benefits of a dynamic type system, and would gain more from seeing your errors at compile time.

Yep, exactly. The optimal tradeoff is that you don't anotate anything, yet static types are still there. What you described achieves the exact opposite.

> "Soundness" is a mathematically defined concept, but a very binary one (it's sound or it isn't).

That's precisely why it's better!

> For example, I do think there's a real phenomenon described that we can agree on when I say that Python is more strongly-typed than JavaScript,

Out of the box, Python certainly catches more errors than JavaScript, and does so earlier.

> and Java is more strongly-typed than C

I'm not so sure about this one. Although Java is certainly safer than C, because it replaces undefined behavior with a battery of runtime checks (just like a dynamic language), I feel it's about equally difficult in Java and C to translate my thoughts into types. Ironically, C++, despite being unsafe and unfixably so, does a much better job of helping me arrange things so that my errors are caught statically.
I'm not sure a parliamentary system is necessary. Instead, I think we need to make three reforms:

Such a program is a major part of President Obama's Precision Medicine Initiative. The NIH is funding 5 research pipelines throughout the country (4 at universities, 1 at the NIH) with the intent of collecting the full genomes and accurate phenotypes of one million individuals, with ability to recontact for further information if needed. The NIH just announced the grant winners two weeks ago so the grant recipients are just starting to work on the full protocols/pipelines now.

As someone who works in the field, the lack of phenotypic data available accompanying genome sequences is currently one of two major roadblocks in advancing genomic science (money is the other problem, of course).
Most trucks can haul about 48,000 - 50,000 pounds, since typical weight for truck and trailer is about 30,000 - 32,000 pounds. Some lightweight OTR trucks weigh less, and day cabs even less than that. Definitely more fuel efficient than any car. Trains win the grand prize, but they can only run where the rails are obviously.

That's quite possible. But if you're not the kind of user who checks Twitter on a fairly regular basis--not necessarily more than once a day, but at least several times a week--you're probably not the kind of user who's bringing in much advertising revenue, either. Maybe making signing up free but requiring the $1/yr to be able to post, or to follow more than 50 people.

It's possible none of that would work, either, but I'm confident in saying there are at least tens of millions of people who do get value from Twitter. They've chosen a business model where having "merely" tens of millions of users may not be enough to support them, but I don't think that points to an intrinsic flaw in Twitter's concept--just an intrinsic flaw in their particular monetization strategy.

Google was just a proxy for software engineering employers who pay well. Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon all pay similarly. So do a number of other companies. The finance corps in NYC probably do too, but I wouldn't really want to work there either from what I've heard.

Regardless, I certainly would not encourage you or anyone else to leave a job they love if it pays them an amount they are happy with. Going to Google or anyone else for a 20% pay bump is a bad deal if you end up less happy overall.

To be fair, the developer was completely in control of their own exposure and workload. They just might have limited the project's popularity. And I think this was the solution: hand off (or freeze for adoption, if you're not this big) when you're feeling done with it. It's a shame he had to get to a point where he obviously needed help before coming to that realization.

I do think there's work to do around both mentally prepping someone for being a maintainer and setting expectations around what one can count on for free, but I don't see this as being peculiar to open source. Ongoing support for independent apps and components can also outweigh the profit, without the ethical freedom to just walk away from a customer if you don't feel like helping them. And don't get me started about working in a typical day job. Everyone wants as much as you're willing to give them, and metering that is a key skill.
