> What's happening now is that we're paying them with "get out of jail free" cards instead of money.

Which, just to emphasize this, disproportionately (compared to paying in cash -- I'm not saying that the majority of police have this preference) attracts people who prefer payment in "get out of jail free" cards, who may not be the people you want doing policing.
Thanks for the quick fix! How about a vote to change the original link to the entire Reuters article, which this is based on, instead?

This argument has become incoherent, starting as it did by suggesting criticism of Israel isn't intrinsically anti-Semitic (nobody here argued that it was), and proceeding to question the very idea of anti-Semitism as "PC".

If your point is simply that being anti-Semitic shouldn't be a big deal, be honest and make that argument, not the bogus smokescreen that's been deployed here instead.

Depends on the exercise and the situation.

Another great benefit of lab-created diamonds: you can get them with the impurities you want. Want a red or a blue diamond without the silly price tag? You've got it!

I bought my wife a blue diamond engagement ring in 2010 (blue diamonds have boron in them). The price was pretty good then. I can only imagine that since they've gotten bigger, cheaper, and purer since.

Same process has been done to other gems. I've bought emerald jewelry in the past; all lab-created of course.
It doesn't have to (or said another way: it does by default), because its routes are build with laws. However, you could also say that things like the UK surveillance-kickback agreements are a form of routing around the law, and I would agree.
Some of these, pornography (and other sex-related work) in particular, are sketchy businesses because of the difficulty of operating above-board in those industries. Several of my friends are sex workers of various types, and their ability to get paid is always through shady people and businesses, because legitimate payment services won't allow them to use their services.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, in short. If the law or industry forces something underground, it will breed a dangerous culture. I'm happy to hear Stripe has a desire to be more open to these kinds of business...because the people working in them often suffer due to having to use unscrupulous providers for everything. Models having their payment accounts closed without warning and without receiving moneys owed, horrible rates (cam models often receive only about half of the money their customers send their way), etc.

But, it's also still very frustrating; when I've advised friends in the industry on technical matters I never have a good answer for payments. There just aren't any really good payment processors that will work with people in the adult industry. It's legal in all 50 states (at least in the case of pornography), there's just no reason for it to behave like a grey market, but it does.
I'm curious what the median age is for people seeking this lifestyle. It reminds me a lot of musician-friends I've had who in their early 20s were obsessed with busking across the world.

How much are they going to pay you?

Are they going to pay for something like the market rate for 40hs/week or are they going to pay you the double?
I'm not sure what your first sentence means.

As for the rest: no, this simply doesn't add up.

It would be one thing if Clinton was distinguished in her opposition to Wikileaks. But she is not. Her opposition to Wikileaks is an attribute she shares with almost every US establishment political figure.

Her political opposition, which Assange is tacitly (and increasingly overtly) supporting, distinguishes itself in openly calling for Assange's assassination. It's Clinton's opponents who want Assange dead. Unless Trump is so completely in the bag for Russia that he can override both the GOP base and the GOP's national security establishment, an extralegal military strike against Assange isn't even unlikely.

I continue to make the case that Assange's supposed opposition to Clinton on ideological or personal grounds is just that: supposed.

I thought it might be a sly reference to the "it's" found in the museum label depicted in the article photo.
My guess (only a guess): Assange believes that the Swedish rape charges and extradition requests are a cover for the US attempting to get their hands on him. HRC was Secretary of State at the beginning of that, I think, and would therefore be a key person orchestrating the persecution of Assange. I suspect that Assange blames HRC personally for his exile in the Ecuadorian embassy. (Or he could, you know, just avoid raping people in Sweden. Hypothetically.)

Personally, I think that Assange is a egotistical, vengeful control freak, and perhaps a sociopath. I also think he's being paranoid here. Which does not mean that I think HRC is as pure as the driven snow...

TL;DR: I suspect Assange is trying to sabotage HRC because he feels personally persecuted by her.
Self-driving cars are a great concept and will make money, but reality is starting to set in at Alphabet. Their destiny is not to disrupt the auto industry. Their destiny is to be an auto parts supplier in Novi, MI. Google is going to be selling a set of components to auto manufacturers for about $1000-$3000 to make a car self-driving. Self-driving will be an option the customer orders at the dealership, along with other infotainment options.

This is kind of a letdown for Google's people. Less going to TED and SXSW, more going to the Automotive Parts Suppliers Conference at the Marriott in Troy, Michigan. This may explain some of the turnover.

>We have always lived in a society with lots of guns.

No we didn't (lot's of guns maybe -- the police using them like this, no).

In the times of the "Old West" maybe, but from what I've read and watched, police didn't behave that way up until after the 50s and 60s, this "Rambo/Dirty Harry" shit started sometime in the late 70s-80s, along with "Zero Tolerance" and other stupid ideas...

And of course sending something like a SWAT team for BS micro-offences like we read today was unheard of.

>Both sides need to calm the fuck down.

Both the police and the innocent getting shot or targeted?
> The criminal justice system lets these cops skate, but apparently the civil system is picking up the slack -- as evidenced by that NYC figure cited.

The civil system picks up the slack because of the current state of the law -- which is also the same reason that the departments and not the individuals are picking up the tab.

If you propose changing the law to protect the taxpayers -- rather than protecting victims -- from the costs, and the change you propose is to move the liability to the officers, you have to be prepared for the alternative proposal to be made that the correct way to protect the taxpayers is to change the law to reduce or eliminate the exposure to liability entirely, rather than moving it police officers.
Or you'll start the end of entire minorities fearing the police, the "system" and everything legal that you expect to represent fairness and justice. Fixing this undermines the gangs that operate in plain sight because locals fear them less than the police. It could even mean that your life isn't limited by where you grew up.

That is all to say by just improving police standards, you improve the entire country.

If you want better, train better. Hire better. Pay better. Don't keep settling for scraping the barrel for these gun-ho lunatics.

(I'm sure there are some very responsible, conscientious police out there but if they want to stop being tarred with this brush, they need to sort this shit out from the inside too!)
I lol'd at how true this is. And working on a team with multiple sub-groups means that only 2 or 3 out of the 8 person team knows the problem intimately, and it just becomes a problem-solving colloquium right there at standup until someone eventually says, "ok save that for after standup".

Mostly true, but not completely.

There are still important state details that aren't preserved, like how far down the page I've scrolled in an article I'm reading, a form in progress, or the text that I have highlighted in a tab. How about my active terminal sessions in iTerm? It would be a joy if that state preserved across restarts.
I thought about it, considered, decided it's not worth it and bought a used macbook, either 2010 or 2011 with 8gb of ram for $200 from craigslist. I use PC keyboard, PC mouse and it drives a 2560x1920 monitor. I don't have to worry about an OSX update breaking the computer.

> Why the Universe is filled with matter, rather than
> antimatter, is one of physics’ greatest mysteries.

Why do we assume there is no anti-matter just because we can't observe it? Our sensory organs were developed to survive on this planet. They're made out of matter and evolved to detect the presence of matter. And when we make a detector it's made out of matter too.

I don't think it's farfetched to assume that matter-antimatter collisions occur all the time; they're just not that spectacular. It may even be a bit presumptuous to assume that it's even possible for matter to ever detect the presence of anti-matter. Because, detecting the presence of anti-matter just constitutes looking at the radiation left behind by a "collision" with matter. That's not observing anti-matter, it's an after-the-fact conclusion, that there must had been anti-matter before the radiation in question appeared. As soon as matter observes/comes in contact with anti-matter, it's no longer matter. So matter, in and of itself, seemingly cannot observe anti-matter (because it's transformed into something else at the moment it does).

Reading Wikipedia, it also appears that the matter/anti-matter relationship is asymmetric:

Bondi pointed out that a negative mass will fall toward (and not away from) "normal" matter, since although the gravitational force is repulsive, the negative mass (according to Newton's law, F=ma) responds by accelerating in the opposite of the direction of the force. Normal mass, on the other hand, will fall away from the negative matter. He noted that two identical masses, one positive and one negative, placed near each other will therefore self-accelerate in the direction of the line between them, with the negative mass chasing after the positive mass. Notice that because the negative mass acquires negative kinetic energy, the total energy of the accelerating masses remains at zero. Forward pointed out that the self-acceleration effect is due to the negative inertial mass, and could be seen induced without the gravitational forces between the particles.

I think that's a bit extreme. My current team has a standup that is quite useful. It's a few minutes, and we often end up canceling other meetings as a result of it. Standup, like any other meeting, is not evil by itself. But I would have agreed with you one year ago when I'd only been in Evil Standup.

The state is just the embodiment (imperfect as most things are, but still) of the people's will (and attitudes).

So what the parent said, still holds.

It's that attitude being prevalent that permits it, both in individuals and the state.

It sounds like you would've preferred that they don't post anything at all. Even if the post was edited to how you're describing, people would say, "Well they should be more progressive than that!"

Personally, I think it was great that they articulated why they do what they have to do, and the measures they're taking to improve.

Although I agree with the statement about:

> "We want to avoid taking editorial or moral stances regarding the businesses built on Stripe."

The entire post, and John, basically indicated that they do want to take a more progressive moral stance. Their stance being that they want to fight for servicing certain businesses on Stripe.
I have been skinny all my life but now I weigh 80 kilos which is just below healthy BMI for my height and happy to share my struggle.

I was 19 when I joined gym and quit - I was not really fit to lift lot of weights to be frank. Was kind of embarrassed.
Then I worked on strength from body weight exercises. This was a really good foundation when I look back now. I was able to do 80 pushups in one go. But then I was weighing only 55-58 kilos I think - I should say weighing less helped there! Then joined gym again - this time I could lift lot of weights but with little gains. Then I quit gym for long time and I hovered around 62-65 in weight till I was 27. Gosh I was skinny.

Then I started to work out again. This time it was mostly about finding what diet works for you. For me it was organic lean meat, organic eggs, plenty of fruits (juice) and grounded almond. And strictly no alcohol not even a drop of beer. My weight shot up in 6 months! I was kind of surprised. In the end I could not believe that was so easy.

(edit)Exercises : Bench press, squats.
> fake diamonds

What a funny concept. Is the index of refraction different from diamond? Is the placement of the carbon atoms not on a diamond lattice? Or is the lattice constant somehow smaller or larger?
It may be condescending, but I think it's correct. I'm a pretty overweight guy who has dropped over 35 pounds in the last year. I pretty quickly noticed an increase in energy and mood. I've gained some back recently due to injury and not exercising, and I pretty quickly noticed a return of worse mood and energy levels. Maybe it's just true for most people, but not everyone?

You raise an important distinction between the different motivations of digital nomads. Personally, I'm currently traveling because it's cheaper than living in a major US city, and gives me a longer runway to work on projects. Eventually I hope to have a similar arrangement to the one Pieter is describing, with a home base and maximized travel ability.

Financial independence is the goal. Digital nomading can help get you there by extending your runway, and it can also be a benefit of the independence once you achieve it.
I -love- that the Canadian company started marketing 'conflict free diamonds' as a way to break the deBeers cartel.

It makes me wonder if the synthetic guys have a leg to stand on regarding the ecological footprint of pit mining versus lab grown, or if it's about the same. Maybe they could cook up their own marketing label and stop trying to hide what they're doing.
This could really use a summary version for people who don't need to know what he had for breakfast.

I.e. a version that focuses just on the diamond trade, and skips the "color".

In really short: The seller tried to bypass the traditional people who buy and see these diamonds, and they were not happy. Typical unethical behavior of people trying to protect a dying income stream.

There's a lot of cool, really old stuff in Bulgaria and Thrace in particular. If you take a look at a terrain map, you'll see it's the easiest way to get into Europe from the Middle East, so there have been many migrations over the millennia, and a lot of sites and objects left behind.

For example, there is a small museum in Stara Zagora that has a really well-preserved Neolithic house remains from the 6th millenium BC. The two people minding the museum also seemed somewhat surprised anyone went there and I was the only visitor for about an hour or so that day.

Back to the topic. I suppose that saying "5M/s" to refer to 5000/ms during a single millisecond is misleading.

There are many implicit "buffers" (raw CPU power, intermediate hard drives, TCP queues, syslog/fluentd processing) that may smooth that kind of peak very aggressively long before it reaches graylog.

Interesting talk by the way. I'm doing similar things, at a smaller scale though.

Green Pool Mystery Continues in Rio, with Closure and New Fart Smell
I've been running StrongLifts for the last 3 months and love it. It gives me a plan and a daily goal, which is what I was missing from lifting. Now it's not just "go into the gym and lift some things", it's "go into the gym and do better than last time I was here", with a steady, achievable ramp-up. Starting workouts are around 45 minutes, and I'm up to about 75 minutes right now. 3x/week at 75 minutes isn't very much of my time, and each moment I'm there has a purpose, even if it's just resting for the next set.

I started because I was tired of feeling crappy and wanted to lose some weight. I've dropped a lot of fat, put on a lot of muscle, sleep better than ever, and don't have all the sedentary "I feel bad" stuff anymore. A+ would recommend to anyone.
Well, sure, because the entity most people care about is the Alphabet unit called "Google", except for finance people, who mostly care about the thing you can invest in, which is Alphabet.
DDoSCoin: New Crypto-Currency Rewards Users for Participating in DDoS Attacks
It seems that the ancient Thrace might be among the oldest civilization known to humanity and the current view that the cradle of modern civilization is in modern day Iraq may not be entirely correct. It should be noted that in addition to gold work and ancient art, the oldest writing in the world has also been found in this area and it is also from Thracian origin.

I hope these finds result in further study of the ancient Thracian civilization.

When the ancient Greeks came to Europe from Egypt, they found the Thrace already there. They considered the Thrace to be barbarians, as one always finds a foreigner to be a barbarian. The Greeks tried to destroy and infiltrate Thracian culture by adopting their Gods and myths and modifying them to fit within the Greek mythology. This is completely normal and happened a lot in those times.

But modern scientists and archaeologists do not have to follow this.

It is absolutely wrong to believe that all civilization came from mesopotamia to ancient egypt and then went through ancient greece and rome. These are just the guys that won a lot of the wars.

If we look around we can find that there are a lot of interesting cultures and civilizations that have had an effect on the modern world and modern Europe aside from the accepted classics.
