Not OP, but for me it was purchasing a laptop where every single component had Open Source, in-mainline kernel modules, significantly losing out on performance, and then STILL compositing didn't work on an external monitor.

That was 8 years ago, really enjoyed using Macs since. Now Apple quality is going down, and powershell is getting really good, slowly moving to Windows.
Hey Jeff. Thanks so much. I think I'm in touch with your team now.
The book "Aftermath: The Remnants of War" by Donovan Webster explores how the wars of the last century have impacted the surrounding areas. He also gives great perspectives on the clean up effort/process. Highly recommend.

That is how I understood it too. Updating your data with a call to insert won't run into the same problems as updating your data with a call to update. Their immutability implementation seems like it would behave nearly the same under both databases.
Yes. But replication is a starting point. It isn't just about fraud, it's also about error and failure to communicate the experiment. (It's also beyond time for paper journals to just contain the relevant summaries and conclusions for given studies and for "what fits in a journal" to cease being "what fits in publication". Authors ought to be able to publish as much stuff as they want with a paper, including full source code sets or data sets or whatever, with the paper limitations affecting only the top-level summary.)
I was thinking the same thing when I read that article. The shell shock victims of world war one, do not look like PTSD victims today. They look physically brain damaged. Check out some of these videos of shell shock victims, the symptoms are very physical and severe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc7ehb8agWY
>The article asks "can possessions stand in the way of fulfillment?" Experience tells me the answer there is certainly yes, they can and often do.

While this can be true, and I know a few people who seem oddly compelled to accumulate more at the detriment of the rest of their lives, I find that it is far more common that the lack of wealth stands in the way of fulfillment.

On a different point, I see the market as an efficient way to find the best custodians for things. Or, at least, that is the ideal. The real market is far more complicated, of course.

Inequality is inevitable, and probably desirable. I only have a problem with inequality when those that have more can exploit those that have less. Contrary to common wisdom which is that people must be compelled through desperation to work (an extension of outdated history), I think it is possible for those that have less to have less command of wealth yet still not be completely desperate. Desperation and exploitation are not core features of a free market, Capitalistic system. In fact, I think they are a drag on Capitalism and the free market.
Alternatively: you can screw over the cheaters all you want. But, don't call yourself a nice guy. :)

I believe this is one of the reasons it's common for people to self-describe themselves as assholes.
This is why I'm always skeptical of people zealously claiming "all GMOs are perfectly safe! It's been proven!"

Yeah, proven by expensive studies that were funded by the company making the GMO. Who is going to pay for another study to try to disprove it?

There's a reason we sprayed DET all over our vegetables for years before it was banned: there was no scientific studies proving that it was harmful, even though it clearly was harmful in hindsight.

Science is not instant, and there's no way someone can claim that some brand-new GMO is "perfectly safe", without any long-term studies on its effects over 10, 20, 30 years of exposure. That's just not possible. And yet you try to explain it to these science zealots and they just brush you off as being "anti-science".
Exactly.

Of course drivers like Lyft. Lyft extorts tips from users and hence drivers get more money.

It's also precisely why Lyft will never win: tipping is customer hostile. I don't want to tip and will never use Lyft if Uber is an option.
I came across this somewhere (probably here) recently.

If it ends up taking until the upper end of their estimate, casualties from WW1 could span an entire millennium.
Learning to read Ancient Greek. The insights into language and culture just keep coming...
Besides being a double negative that results in it not being equivalent to regardless, to your point it's been used for at least 100 years and is still considered non standard.
From the little I can see from their blog posts, Schemaless seems to be both a sharding layer and an immutability layer that can sit on top of postgres or mysql. However, discussing the costs of mutable data when you have created an immutable data storage layer doesn't make much sense.
So you are suggesting that Poland should give up its financial stability (like being pretty much only EU country which did not suffer recession during 2008 financial crisis) and join Eurozone just to help you avoid small inconvenience with reimbursing business trip in foreign currency?
Yeah, the car companies are also fucked. Prepare for massive consolidation on that front. One or perhaps two or three car manufacturers will swallow the whole market as demand craters. (We all own our own cars because it's a necessity at this point. It won't stay that way in a driverless future. Nor will cars be the status signifier they currently are.)

I actually think the form factor most cars come in will become obsolete-- I think they'll be mostly vans and buses to cope with economies of scale on the rider front and to handle rush hour surges. Who makes the bus you last rode on? Do you know? I know I don't, nor do I care.

I mean, Uber is totally fucked if this comes down the pipe and they're not running things, that's undeniable. Their value proposition is running this two sided marketplace that's going to turn into a one sided marketplace. And yeah, putting together a mobile app is a completely different universe than becoming a major auto manufacturer, or a robotics manufacturer of unprecedented scale. (Or in reality, both.)
Listening to other people more. I'm the youngest of six children, and it's hard for me to get a word in edgewise when I'm at home.

Then one day I realised that women thought I was sexist and men thought I was an asshole because I dominated the conversation. I'm a grown man and don't need to take advantage of every opportunity to speak.

Ad hominem does nothing to rebut these arguments. I also disagree, but would much rather see an actual refutation.
I think it would be fair to have apps advertised as secure messengers be more aggressive about how they handle data given the intended use as long as people understand the tradeoff.

I'm willing to trade off wear for security.

Also, a reason why I do not use iCloud in it's current incarnation.
I misread TFA and thought the calculator was based off of jobs posted in the site, not their own salary calculation. Judging by their comprehensive operations articles (DC migration, etc), it appears their ops staff are also software engineers. In that case, it appears they've misinterpreted the market. At least SREs know they should apply to Stack Overflow only for software engineering roles in order to avoid a $10k penalty for extra skills.
Did they rather mean that 4% of leadership roles are help by women ?
Using a daily planner (on paper, not a app). I figured this out about 2 months ago.

Being able to write down the tasks and scan back through my backlog has helped me be more productive. For me, using a calendar service or task manager app just does not work as well... BTW, I am a millennial.

edit: I am 10 years younger then everyone else at my company and get questioned all the time about "why I use a day runner" when everyone else is on a smartphone.
This should probably use Stack for Haskell as well, which was designed to solve various common issues that arise when using cabal as a package manager.
That is cool information. Where can I read more about that?
Will you be fine with higher Uber costs when drivers defect to the platform where they can earn more through base + tips?
Fully understood. I'm Latin American and believe me, I have no love at all for military coups.

My point was, if Erdogan is such a threat to democracy, how come his political opponents -- such as the pro-Kurdish HDP and leftist parties -- didn't support this military coup, which was allegedly in favor of liberty and secularism and everything good that Erdogan seems to be against? Maybe these opposition parties were aware that military coups are seldom democratic, are often followed by arbitrary imprisonment and summary executions, and maybe it wasn't obvious that this rebel army faction was a better and more democratic alternative to Erdogan?
You may find the linked note on learning how computers work useful. Basically, I think that the value of knowing C in this respect is rather limited and that there are much better ways to do that. Not to say that C is not worth learning, of course, for its own merit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12118980.
There are also wrapper well known types that you can fallback to (in wrappers.proto), when you need to distinguish between, say empty string and null.
> You may be committing a tort or trespass, depending on how you do it.

And if you know its a common tort or trespass, it is simpler to tax that tort/trespass rather than require every individual to sue every other individual.

> If you are trying to 'catch me out', your rhetoric won't convince me, nor is it likely to convince anyone els

I don't really care. I just find your doublethink curious and wanted to confirm it was what I thought it was.

I find Doublethink in general a very interesting subject.
The journalist Zeynep Tufekci (@zeynep) has been offering a devastating critique of this on Twitter that's worth reading. She argues that even the most cursory review by someone who reads Turkish would have shown that it was a terrible idea to publish this material. Wikileaks responded by blocking her.
Guessing its Front End Application Development
20kb? Really? On last week I built NG2 application(rc.4) with one component and size was over 500kb, with all dependencies which needed to run it. Maybe @angular/core weight 20kb, but in order to run real world application need add many dependencies. rxjs, zoom.js, shims, and so on..
Thanks. Ideally, I would like to be able to update the email address used. I put the wrong email address in and there's no mechanism for correcting to the desired one.
So an LSP?
Replication isn't enough. It's also necessary to know how many non-replications have occurred but got swept under the rug. It's not the existence of replications that matter---it's the rate of replication relative to number of replication attempts.

So I agree with the title "We Should Not Accept Scientific Results That Have Not Been Repeated". But I would add to it "We Should Not Accept Scientific Results from Studies That Weren't Preregistered". Registration of studies forces negative results to be made public, allowing for the positive result rate / replication rate to be calculated.

Otherwise the existence of a "positive" result is more a function of the trendiness of a research area than it is of the properties of the underlying system being studied.
In the past the Whatapp SQLlite databas was clear text readable.

> The inconvenient truth is that scientists can achieve fame and advance their careers through accomplishments that do not prioritize the quality of their work

An even more inconvenient truth is that scientists cannot even keep their jobs if they prioritize the quality of their work. The pressure to publish novel results is too strong and it is almost impossible to get any support for confirming previous ones.
One of the things that I've found to be important for (and generally under-documented by) package managers is resolution strategy.

pip, for instance, eagerly resolves the highest version of a dependency first found in the tree and doesn't backtrack AFAIK [1]. Cargo sounds as though it behaves similarly, but will actually backtrack [2]. I've also seen package managers like 0install that will use SAT solvers to solve dependency constraints [3].

I've found lack of backtracking on conflicts to be frustrating, but I'm curious how the other two (and other conflict resolving strategies) compare in practice.

I've used Linux full-time for 11 years; booted into Windows about once or twice a year to try out a game, and had a Windows VM for photo editing (DxO doesn't work in WINE, and afaik, there are no good replacements for it). Just a couple of months ago I switched to Windows as the host OS and Linux in a VM running in the background 24x7 (off the raw disks, so I am virtualizing the same system that I ran as my host OS, which meant I didn't have to spend time re-installing and re-configuring everything).

As a long-time Linux die-hard who passed so many applications by because they didn't work well in WINE and/or virtualized Windows, it pained me to switch, but Linux is much more cooperative as a VM than Windows is (and it also pains me to "reward" Windows's bad behavior with the position of host OS). With appropriate tweaking (Dexpot) and a good terminal (ConEmu+Cygwin for SSH to my VM), Windows is basically just like a DE that can play new games (Overwatch, woot!) and run my photo editing software 5x faster than it ran in VM.
Planned obsolesce was discussed by the late Alvin Toffler in his book 'Future Shock' in 1970. A great read! I believe it often occurs in the part manufacturing such as cutting costs. Let's replace this metal gear with a plastic gear and save $x.00 per unit. But every 'person on the street' knows that a metal gear will outlast a cheap plastic gear. Now we've just engineerd in the obsolesce due to bean-counter cost-cutting.

But think of Apple (or Dell of you prefer) and the iPhone or iMac. What is the lifespan of the avg. product? 3 yrs? 5 yrs? 10 yrs? 20 yrs? Computational devices are pretty much obsolete in 5 years (ten years for sure if you feel like arguing about 5 yrs.) as new technology is developed and surpasses the old. We now have to design something that works well for that expected time period and keep mfg. costs low.
It's possible using smart techniques (standard minification/gzipping, Google Closure/Rollup, etc.).
I ask this seriously: who cares? Literally -- who should be concerned about this? Mass data collection is no longer a surprise; it's simply another feature of the landscape at this point. Additionally, the notion that an individual in a public space (physical or virtual) has a reasonable expectation of privacy is not credible. It's reasonable to assume that you are being surveilled by (mostly benign) third parties in any public space; why would you expect that your virtual activities would be treated differently than your physical ones?
>But there's a difference between censors who block the service or attempt to discredit it with lies, and people who support Wikileaks' goals but point out its errors.

I think that the title of the article pretty clearly falls into the "discredit it with lies" category

Not sure how it is a complete mess, maybe a small mess.

Who is reinventing wheels anyway?
The great thing about biking is that it opens up your route options. Almost any street is as good as any other - you'll make just about the same time on a residential street as a main street, so you have an almost infinite variety of options without much sacrifice in team.

Contrast with a car, where taking side streets will slow you down significantly.
The Marshall Plan, the ECC (predecessor to the EU), NATO, and the Warsaw Pact were designed in large part to bind the European countries into alliances to make war between them unthinkable. This did result in the Cold War, where both NATO and the Warsaw Pact lived in fear that the other side was ready to invade across the Iron Curtain any second, but MAD probably played a big part in restraining tensions between the two sides in war.

The other thing that happened after WWII, which probably has a bigger impact on the lack of war, was that, rather than deciding which countries gets which land by plebiscites, the people who lived on the wrong side of the borders were simply deported en masse. Deportation of the Poles from Lwów, the Germans from Stettin, or the Finns from Karelia did a lot to dampen irredentist claims to those lands.
What does "prove mathematically" mean here? He constructed a self-consistent mathematical theory, and validated that it reproduced both the special relativistic and Newtonian limits, but I don't think "proved mathematically" is a good way to state that.

You can't "mathematically prove" a theory agrees with reality except by reconciling it with experiments (possibly indirectly through links to previous theories), so the only difference here is that a non-ad-hoc mathematical theory of depression medication doesn't appear to be feasible, not that physics has some magic alternate method of proof.

You can basically just swap in any company in any industry to your comment...keeping up pace with technological changes, competitors entering your market, and maintaining a profit margin are just normal challenges that every business faces.

Let's see:

> Let's say that's true; the folks at Google are smart and they'll figure out artificial intelligence. Why does anyone think Google will be able to maintain an advantage with that? What's to stop anyone from buying artificial intelligence tools and opening their own AI service? How does the whole industry not become a race to the bottom? Hell, given the price wars going on now, I'd argue it already has.

> Let's say that's true; the folks at Apple are smart and they'll figure out personal computers. Why does anyone think Apple will be able to maintain an advantage with that? What's to stop anyone from buying some computer parts and opening their own computer store? How does the whole industry not become a race to the bottom? Hell, given the price wars going on now, I'd argue it already has.

Most of the conversation on the topic misses that Uber's actions are totally irrelevant to 99.9% of us. Uber has unlimited resources and unique problems. Sure, it's interesting but ultimately almost entirely meaningless.
One thing about Cargo's lack of 'vendoring' on the checkmark list; there is https://github.com/alexcrichton/cargo-vendor , and soon there will be https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2857
> There is a reason why Google Fibre is not everywhere or they are not pushing it very aggressively. Because building networks are freaking expensive even for google.

I am not sure if that is entirely true. At least, Google owns the fibers between any 2 google data centers. It is probably only the last-mile that needs municipality support.
It seems to me that the Brexit is going to hurt mostly because the EU is going to want to make it hurt to discourage more members from leaving.

That said, GB was never on the Euro so their transition is a lot less traumatic than it would be for most EU members.

The Euro has always had some dubious aspects, like tying everybody to the same currency but letting them set their monetary policy on a per-country basis. Problems like the Greek crisis are almost inevitable in a setup like this.

Erdoğan and public was convinced with the coup plan in 2009 ( who knows probably they were plotting for real and gülen supporters in the army exposed it) and Gülen probably have put some (many?) of his supporters among replacements. They are extremely secretive so I doubt anybody got suspicious. I read some of the captive coup army officials statements, they are quite shocking.
For CDN-style content, IPFS is a much better route. This seems like a proof of concept really.
The difference is in the central repository: Elm will compare your types to the previous versions and how the versions diff, and refuse to let you upload a package that makes a backwards incompatible change without bumping the version.

At least, that's my understanding of what they meant.
This really all boils down to "Ford F-150s are bad trucks because your cargo can get wet when it rains, use a U-Haul truck".

Sure, for that VERY specific (and not very common) use case U-Hauls beat F-150s. However, I think we can all agree that F-150s are far more versitle for most use cases, up to including something trivial like heading to Starbucks for a quick coffee.
If you can afford it, the aeron or leap are amazing. Many people make the mistake of sittin in a coworkers or trying it and a store and saying they don't like it. It takes lots of adjustment to get it just right for your body so make sure to spend sometime in a showroom.

Suddenly, all those science-fiction/fantasy stories seem plausible now, about ancient weapons, traps and guardians staying lethally functional for thousands of years..
How do these issues (threat of death from unexploded ordnance and chemical poisoning of the soil) compare to the damage done by the atomic bombs?

The remaining fissionable material in the bombs was 139 pounds of U-235 (Little Boy) and 12 pounds of Pu-239 (Fat Man). Essentially atomized and spread into the upper atmosphere, where it spread throughout the global environment and may have caused a hard-to-measure uptick in cancer, but the actual demolished territory is rebuilt and thriving today.

Horrifying to think that in the long-term view, the conventional ordnance of the European theater was a bigger threat to human life and ecosystem stability than the atomic bombs.
