> Yup. He doesn't need 'justice' because he doesn't feel he's been particularly wronged.

Not necessarily.

He may simply have done the calculation and decided that it isn't worth the money/time/press. That doesn't mean he doesn't feel wronged.

In addition, this conference used Crockford's name as a speaker for the purpose of attracting attendees. I didn't see them offering corresponding refunds now that he's not going to be a speaker. Edit: Apparently this is no longer true. How do I create a strikethrough formatting?

The crazy thing is that it isn't that difficult to do. Just like thread local allocation, the easiest way seems to be to just figure out the systems calls yourself and wrap them up. All the solutions out there seem WAY over complicated.

The best solution I've found is whitedb, although it does leave something to be desired. The biggest flaw is that it is GPL, which is not a good license for something meant to be included as source. It also isn't thread safe without locking everything.
Even the thread you cited claims there were other speakers who came forward. Unless there's some public acknowledgement over what the deciding factors are, this is a lot of speculation over what little public conversation (on twitter at that, so inherently lacking a lot of the full explanation) exists.

Instead of inserting your own narrative into how and why this occurred and pouring gasoline on the fire, how about let cooler heads prevail. If Crockford feels wronged by this exchange, he's free to come forward with his side of things (and other parties with theirs) if a public debate needs to occur. Until then, this is a lot of people being roped into proxy battle of "SJWs" vs "un-PC enthusiasts" that frankly has little to do with an actual set of circumstances.
Financial constraints shouldn't be the barrier of entry to a college education. College shouldn't be for everyone, but motivated and intelligent students from poor backgrounds will give just as much back to the community as their monied peers. Other countries have already addressed this issue with difficult entry examples (e.g., Germany).

This is a solved problem.
As far as sugar goes, juice is the same as coke. Unlike fruits, juice lacks fiber. The sugar is absorbed instantly.

> A scoop of ice cream has around 15g.

The problem is that pretty much anything contains sugar.

Cornflakes is the blandest kind of cereal and that one already contains a whopping 8g (32% of your budget). Add some toast, pasta sauce, some low fat yogurt, etc and you're way over those 25 grams of sugar.

By the way, Cornflakes are actually worse than they seem. Simple carbs are almost instantly turned into sugar.
The Donbass Paradox
Hey, thanks. You make a fair point. My trouble is that if I make a card focused specific on my work as a web developer, for example, then when I'm performing music and people ask for my card, they might get confused.

So, I could make a different card specifically for music. But then when I'm doing comedy, I'm going to run into the same problem. Or perhaps if I'm offering services as a licensed counselor, none of my clients want a web dev / entertainer card.

Seems like I'm stuck having to make 10 different cards and having them with me at all times.
I've always recommended this book too. It's one of the few books that tries to teach (functional) programming instead of a particular language, although obviously you learn Haskell along the way.
College is a good way for young people to spend four or five years learning to drink, date, and party. Some of them even get a bit of an education.

It's an essential part of living a life of leisure and privilege in modern industrial society. And it should be free for everyone that wants it.

The unemployed father of two who is married to an
Irish wife watched the crash of the country's
currency, the pound, with increasing worries on
Friday. But one development in particular made
him change his mind [about his 'leave' vote]:
“My son has mental health issues and I feared
a privatization of our health care system,
which is currently for free,” Kerin said.
...On Friday morning, UKIP leader Nigel Farage
went on national television to say it had been
a “mistake” that some campaigners promised the
money currently being transferred to Brussels
would be spent on health care. "Nigel Farage
betrayed us," said Kerin.
In the west tor was (or is) seen as a tool access child pornography. I had to explain multiple times why i would support such a evil thing.

This is a very high social cost in the west, and you can't pose with a tor t-shirt (like the dude in the photo) if that the narrative. You will be expelled from your students union instead of celebrated for supporting it. So, a typical westener tor-supporter does not want this image. But the typical westener is no the person that needs tor mosts.

Such a label in east asia would probably help. If the Singaporean police would assume that all tor users a looking for child porn (or just porn, that's illegal there) uses would fall in the vast bin various criminals. But not a political opponents, that are targeted with much more energy. The social cost of consuming (child) porn might be lower than being a dissident. And the prosecution might be less serve.
I would argue that big frameworks like Bootstrap still have a reason to exist because they provide interactive, component based functionality.

It's actually small frameworks like this one that are increasingly useless. Consider that most of the provided functionality can be accomplished with 2-3 css properties.
They don't have to be conflating those things. For example are you sure Youtube doesn't apply dynamic processing to uploaded files? I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sound processing performed to help make the average phone video sound better.
> 1. Journalists shouldn't write articles about how person X makes €Xm a year.

I disagree. If some CEO says that workers salaries are too high and he himself increased his salary by 50% the last year, that is important for journalists to write about.

> 2. Researchers: the data could easily be anonymized.

Researches are interested in seeing how different variables correlate with salary. Like gender, age, education level, parents social status and so on. Those correlations can't be made on anonymized data.

> 3. Transparency. Why? Just because you say everything else is public isn't a valid reason (to me).

You misunderstand. Transparency is about the government being transparent with it's data, not about ME being transparent. I'm allowed to keep as many secrets as I want -- the government is not. For example if the government had records on my sexual preference or political affiliation, I for sure would prefer if that data was public and not kept secret.

> 4. Corruption: BS. I would seriously doubt people would be stupid enough to receive “dirty" money and then declare it to the tax authority.

A lot of corruption involves one party "gifting" the other something. That kind of corruption has been caught by the tax authority.
And what share of 18-23 year olds are capable of learning a new language or critical thinking? Darn few. But nearly all are capable of partying, drinking, casual sex, and learning to write and appreciate fine arts a little better.

Lawyers Burnish Tesla’s Deal for SolarCity
Most of the "smart" door locks suck as locks.[1] Most are physically too weak. Most need regular battery replacement, although a few generate power from turning the handle.

If you want any real door security, you have to go to steel doors and frames, and multipoint locks. You can get door/frame/lock systems which look normal and operate like a regular door, but bolts go out the top, bottom, and sides into the frame, like a vault door.

This is a question I had recently, with the brouhaha over transgender bathroom rights (with serious economic consequences, including concert cancellations, businesses moving headquarters, and the NBA All-Star game relocating). How many transgender people actually exist in the state of North Carolina? How many dollars could we have simply put in each of their pockets if all the ink, advertising and vitriol expended on the effort had been rerouted into cash payments to them?
Is this an all or nothing solution?

If you could control the population in highly dense areas but leave the rest of the world alone, would it not mitigate some of the risks involved in messing with the ecosystem?
I agree that a robust system isn't hard. I don't agree that it's not profitable. If you don't make an app, that cuts down on your bottom line, not paying to make the app or the programmers to maintain it. From there you can just tack on additional services easily. Local storage for everything as they do now with security. Just give the users a micro SD card slot, say you can record everything right here. Charge them for a cloud connection / storage. Charge them for remote monitoring.

Agree with manual overrides there is no reason to not have a key. I'm surprised you've read about that because that's against regulation in commercial security. If power goes down there should be a battery backup to power it and keep the key card / door security working OR it turns off and you can't lock your doors. Better to keep unlocked than have someone burn alive inside.

The beauty of IoT is how it can be easily expanded and connected should you choose to. There is nothing preventing companies from implementing the same idea to the payment system. Charge enough for securing those IoT devices once they reach out into the world and I think you can have a real system on your hands.

Actually, the comments are probably more important to me than the stories.

For 1,000 years, parents have bought B.A. degrees for their kids as positional goods: "My son, the college man." But a B.A. no longer provides positional status. There are too many people who possess one.

Certification protects many careers: barrier to entry. It does not provide entrepreneurial skills. It provides bureaucratic skills. These will be worth less and less in the digital age.
Exactly. Your lock system is only as good as the door frame and hinges around it. You can double dead-bolt something and throw a security chain on it too, but if it's in a rotten wood frame, one stiff kick is all it takes, locks be damned.

I know that you are saying something that sounds true to you, so I am going to walk through the logic so that you can re-evaluate how much attention you are paying to critical thinking on these matters.

What you're proposing is referred to as 'Social Darwinism'. In this application it is used in a pseudo-logical fashion to beg the question entirely and falsely imply the justification of a lemma.

Your argument is as follows. "If you believe in (1) [natural selection applied to companies], then (2) [causal hypothesis: '1' leads to 'type'], meaning that (3) the [companies of type] we see now are the result of [natural selection applied to companies]."

I hope it is apparent when you look carefully that the 'companies of type' we are seeing now would be simply the result of natural selection in any case, that there is no support for the causal hypothesis presented, and that the causal hypothesis is not in fact a logically necessary implication of the original lemma.

The reason that this might feel meaningful, rather than be at first glance a tangle of errors, is that it involves the juncture between a hypothesis for which you feel you have evidence (and do!) with a core belief. Your hypothesis: "companies that do better at minimizing taxes are more likely to survive than those that don't." Your belief: "markets are efficient and the best economy arises when companies are allowed to compete without interference."

The difficulty here is in the confusion of the two intellectual contexts. Natural selection is a descriptive theory about how what is came to be. Market libertarianism is a prescriptive theory about how what should be can come to be. They are not interrelated. Under condition of Soviet Market, natural selection will still exist. Even if regulatory capture helps a company survive instead of perish, libertarian theory still advocates against it.

If you believe in natural selection applied to companies, then what we have here is the natural and almost predictable extinction event of those companies that over-optimized on minimizing taxes.

However, the belief in "natural selection applied to companies" is essentially meaningless once you decouple it from action or advocacy; coupled to advocacy, it is incoherent. It inherits absolutely no scientific justification or intellectual rigour from biology.

Gee, someone is banging on my door at 3AM in the morning. I'd really like to see who it is WITHOUT being directly behind the door. Especially since it's most likely to be a neighbor or the police and greeting them with a shotgun is not likely to result in a positive outcome. A cam on my door that I can see from my phone would be kinda useful.

My water heater, washer, shower, etc. just broke. I'd really like to get continuous alerts on my phone that there is water filling up my house.

There are lots of things like this. They're grubby and mucky and an opportunity, but they are not high volume and they require more than 3 guys and a dog and some software.
I'm not suggesting that is my standard. I'm suggesting, before declaring an individual to be a "rapist" and discussing their alleged crimes as if they were the unimpeachable truth, we ought at the very least to require something more than mere allegations. Ideally, this would of course occur in a criminal trial.

What if I were to accuse you, right now, of rape – having others corroborate my story? Are you ready to accept being 'censured', being the subject of despicable verbal attack, based on the "50/50 odds" I am telling the truth? Abominable.

From what I read on reddit, news media and HN over the years we have no shortage of chemical engineers, but we do have a severe shortage of psychiatrists and psychologists at least here in Germany. Try getting an appointment - the problem isn't the one initial test appointment itself, but that if they accept you to come in for even just that "test talk" they don't have any room for the follow-up of many sessions over many months.

I think this is as one would expect: Pretty much anyone might use psychological help at some point (many different kinds exist, from "just talk" to prescribing some heavy drugs). How much need is there for chemical engineering? I've taken a few intro courses (just for fun, I'm happy in IT) so I know those guys don't just build chemical factories but also design devices like apheresis machine (great lecture, great professor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38kB2jTOyug). Still each machine needs to be designed only once, humans need help all the time. There should be many more psychologists than chemical or other engineers I think. One field scales much worse than the other one(s).
