I love China and miss visiting. I don't miss and am haunted by my last visit, watching an elderly woman, broom in-hand, fruitlessly swept snow from an unplowed highway as cars (including mine) sped past.

The United States spends nearly the equivalent of China's entire 2013 budget meeting past commitments its made to its citizens and debt holders in the form of mandatory spending programs and debt service. Despite record revenues in 2015, thanks in part to increased payroll taxes that hit almost every American, the US still can't balance its budget.

This is increasingly the case in China, where the costs of maintaining infrastructure are putting severe pressure on many provincial and city governments.

You cannot judge all of China by Shanghai. Perhaps Mr Rosenstiel can author something in Governing about meeting existing obligations and balancing the budget before he proposes new spending.
The Central Subway was supposed to go from Washington Square Park to Caltrain, but unfortunately its usefulness has been diminished by cutting the Pagoda Palace Station. [0]

If you've ridden the 8/30/45 from North Beach to downtown, you'd notice that Stockton Street in Chinatown is a clusterfuck with pedestrians shopping, loading trucks, cars, and busses. In addition to regular commuters, there are also tourists taking these busses between Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf.

Furthermore, it would be nice to have a direct line from Union Square to Caltrain. The KT/N is not as direct as going straight down 4th Street (when one actually arrives..).

I agree with you that right now, the Central Subway looks a bit useless, but in its ideal form, it would have ridden by many passengers.

Given an efficient market, stock trading with non-inside information is gambling, while stock trading with inside information is illegal. Markets exist to allocate capital efficiently, where the market invariably is designed to draw out information and intelligence that was previously not visible (a fine line between that and inside info).

If we all just bought indexes, of course, none of that would happen, capital would be divided conservatively according to the index manager. So at a higher level, there has to be some strategy that works beyond a brain dead index one, or markets wouldn't be successful at all. There must be some smart players out there that are doing efficient capital allocation (maybe not day traders, maybe not most of us, but someone...).

It is a shame about the Nexus5 not getting the update, it's still a pretty decent phone and not slow by any means.

I broke the screen on my Nexus5 recently so I brought a Nexus6, so far the battery seems to be worse than the N5 (I miss the wireless charging), so I'm looking forward to the battery improvements!

Edit: The split screen is a great feature, and not finicky at all. Being able to play videos in the background is going to be one of those features that you cannot live without (OK, it's a first world problem).

I agree that it doesn't break a core promise of the internet. It does, however, potentially break the law. To be clear, it doesn't necessarily break it. But if the author actually has never given his email address to anyone who explicitly stated that it could be resold or transferred to a partner, then this violates CAN-SPAM.
I think what you're talking about lies between index funds and day trading, and it's called value investing. You buy stock in companies that you believe in for whatever reason (maybe you know someone really smart who works there and likes it), and hold that stock for several years.

Yep and it's a huge business for them. (I work in this industry, with these kinds of companies.) It results in great deals for non-robo callers, as they are desperate to get good conversational traffic to add to the mix.

It depends on which provider, but the dialer penalties usually aren't that harsh. Regardless, everyone's cautious. And they'll mix right to the limit. Put on restrictions on how many times a number can call? They'll switch up numbers and keep the mix perfect.

It creates a huge opportunity. If the FCC was serious, they'd just start cracking down and push liability on down the line. Then no one would want to take the risk. It's high volume, so without huge deposits and guarantees, no one would touch it.

The "sunspots" explanation doesn't pass the smell test for several reasons. It's the sort of thing you tell a customer to get them to go away and give the problem a chance to resolve itself.

More likely, in that part of the spectrum, they were seeing adverse effects from (probably undisclosed) military R&D activities. Might as well have been sunspots, for all they could've done about it.
Hi rmetzier,

As mentioned in its GitHub repo GoTTY lets you "Share your terminal as a web application".

xterm.js is a front-end only library; a terminal emulator that runs in the browser.

This means that xterm.js could act as the front-end of GoTTY, but it uses hterm instead, which is a similar project.

> In agreement with our a priori hypothesis, infected subjects are more often aroused by their own fear, danger, and sexual submission although they practice more conventional sexual activities than Toxoplasma-free subjects. We suggest that the later changes can be related to a decrease in the personality trait of novelty seeking in infected subjects, which is potentially a side effect of increased concentration of dopamine in their brain.

This seems to be saying that they're more conventional in what they actually get up to (which I'm interpreting as being less kinky), even though they're more turned on by being in a threatened/submissive position.

Maybe they do seek out sexual adventures but are just more vanilla when they get down to it?

> Only when we craft the email on behalf of our advertisers, we receive your name, surname and email address from our partners, should you have consented to receive their emails marketing.

> Let’s ignore the fact that they assume Sears had my consent (they didn’t).

Just a note: I think what Criteo is saying here is that you gave permission to some third party to use your email for marketing purposes and to share it with their "partners", not that you gave Sears permission to use it. But they shared it with Criteo and Criteo shared it with Sears (or sent the email on their behalf) so technically there is "consent". (Of course in practice it's often possible to supposedly give such consent without ever realizing what you're opting into.)
They don't. The company getting the call just knows who they get it from. The reseller chain can be a dozen companies deep.

I've ran companies doing 1B+ calls a week. Any time there's some sort of complaint from a customer or vendor, we just kick it down the line and say "please verify caller ID xxx is correct". We block it, everyone moves on. No one cares. I tried a few times to get the end user to file a complaint. Vendors and customers would just get annoyed; nothing happened.

Even in cases where an AG gets involved and sends out a subpeona, I've never seen anything happen. Hell, even on DHS investigations (like where callers are pretending to be IRS agents), nothing happens.

Until the FCC starts getting serious about it, that'll remain the status quo.

(Only time I've seen things actually happen is when the request is incidental to another investigation, like "terrorism" or drugs. Why the hell they fwd us any details about the suspect beats me. All over plaintext, too.)
So do requests to install updates...

If the product is decades-old, why haven't generic variants appeared?

Something seems to be missing from this article.
They don't produce EpiPen's as a generic in India because the Indian medical community does not recommend self-administration of epinephrine.

If you're that much in need though, you can buy pre-filled epinephrine syringes for intramuscular injection - just keep in mind the ease-of-use of an EpiPen won't be available. You have to take the time to take off the cap, insert and inject the medicine.
Let's see how terraforming this one works out before we go off terraforming another.
I argue that it is correct to do so.

Firstly I show how being grammatically in possession of something is not derogatory:

> I have friends

I then argue that this usage is in fact desirable

> To describe somebody as 'having' women is often accurate and useful

Which is followed by stating that I also consider the language to be one sided

> Now what does confuse and upset me is the way in which we rarely describe women as being able to have lots of men

So when you ask whether I can see that someone might find this language offensive I can only say "evidently". And when you state that we don't see women being described as having men I refer you to my earlier dismay. And when you state that the syntax of the language makes it look like women are possessions I wholeheartedly agree.

Can you see that removing reference to "a persons ability to access sexual gratification" is detrimental to the expressiveness of the language?
Don't think their numbers are right.

I manage 3 different sites with AAAA and A records.

site 1: tech site: 12% of the traffic is via IPv6

site 2: mixed/funny site: 7% is IPv6

site 3: company site: 9% is IPv6

I asked around a few friends and all of them with IPv6-enabled sites have around 5-15% of their traffic via IPv6.

Even Google sees 14%:

Can't believe this 50% number.

I've had recruiters contact me from information that can only be found from my website. A good way to track is to extend your e-mail with the '+' notation for different sources.

for 'username@website.com' you can add arbitrary messages after a '+' sign and before the '@' sign.

username+res@website.com

username+site@website.com

username+card@website.com

username+linkedin@website.com

You can now track how someone got ahold of you, by looking at your e-mail header.

He can release the door from the inside, but when I said his garage only has one door I meant it only has the big door for the car that is controlled by the garage door opener. It does not have a separate human door.

He will probably install a keypad at some point, although since he is a drummer I suggested he do something that listens for knocking on the door in some complex rhythm that would be easy for him but hard for a non-drummer.

I think he hasn't done anything yet because he's got some longer term plans for some home sensor and automation projects, if I recall correctly, and it could make more sense to do the alternate garage door opening interface as part of that instead of as an isolated project.

File an FCC complaint, every time. Changing caller IDs is illegal and is supposed to have a $10K fine per day.

When dealing with end users, the FCC can get really hyper. I've had them call me at 8PM Eastern, on a Friday, to tell us to emergency port a customer or things like that.

If enough people do this it might result in some pressure. It might get them kicked off one provider and move to another. Maybe.
