Many animal species have races (or sub-species).

Dogs breeds are not generally considered as different species despite it being impossible for many to interbreed (think chihuahuas and Great Danes). Isn't biology wonderful :)
> Anyway, Apps that asks for root password on installation always makes me cringe, e.g. they could turn on SSH and put a pubkey into authorized_keys, or they could upload SSH identity files. But I still proceed to enter my password.

You don't need root to do any of those things. If you're going to run the SSH server on port 22, sure, but it can be run on any port above 1024 by a regular user in user space.

If you're already running an SSH server, a non-root app can most likely edit your ~/.ssh/authorized_key file. It's just a regular file, nothing special about a malicious app adding an entry to it.

Think a NAT is going to save you? A malicious program can SSH out and create a reverse tunnel to circumvent it.

Short answer: running anything you don't know or trust is dangerous, root access just makes it more dangerous.

>The long term definition was more or less 'A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding.'

No, that was one long discredited idea of species. It has not been used in decades. Why are you so insistent on pushing this false claim that brown bears and polar bears are the same species? Look it up, they are not. One is Ursus arctos and the other is Ursus maritimus. There is no ambiguity or dispute.

The fact that big pharma companies tend to have fantastic margins and spend similar amounts on R&D as they do on marketing makes me think that it's probably bollocks.

>The initial language wasn't "hard" in the first place

Right, literally claiming to know the meaning of existence - totally an interpretable statement.

My qualm was never that someone would put humans needs before animals, but that that should be the only consideration made is extreme - that its the very nature of existence to do so is beyond extreme.

Have a good one!

It's not that unusual in the antitrust context. The whole theory of antitrust is that anti-competitive behavior allows a company to charge prices greater than they would be able to charge in a competitive market. If a company is found to have engaged in anticompetitive conduct, it's common in a civil suit for the measure of damages to be the difference between the prices actually charged and some judicially-determined market price (usually based on an econometric expert analysis).

> the only credit cards where interchange is 2-3% are those that pay 1-2% in cash back or reward points/miles. Non-reward credit cards and gift cards start at 0.65% in interchange fees otherwise.

Those differences in credit card fees between rewards and non-rewards often aren't being passed on to the merchant, though, especially small businesses who have little room to negotiate.
Logging datapoints into influx is pretty straightforward. For example, logging every time your app is started, adding a tag for the platform, the region, logging datapoints whenever some important settings are toggled, etc.

Once you have this data, set up grafana and build some graphs to query it. Grafana has a graphical query builder, and internally it's essentially a sql-like. There's good tutorials in the influx/grafana docs for all that.
> you can use a non-addressable storage device (like SPI flash) and it'll demand load it via a cache? That's amazing.

This is already done like this on the esp8266.
>People also talk about Europe and Asia as separate despite being a contiguous landmass on the same plate

That analogy is not useful at all. Continents are not biological organisms.

>Genetically brown and polar bears can and in reality often do interbreed producing viable offspring and exchanging genetic information between populations

And yet they are separate species. Just like the 4 separate species of giraffe the article is about, which can and do all interbreed. The concept of species is in no way reliant on an inability to produce fertile offspring.
I'm not just measuring fatalities. I'm measuring economic costs. A nuclear accident can render a city uninhabitable, even if no one dies.

edit: An additional risk is that a nuclear plant is much more complex and expensive than a solar plant. A major accident, if nothing else, wrecks the plant, taking away a key resource that could take a decade and billions of dollars to rebuild (if it's politically possible to rebuild at all). Solar and wind, made up of collections of small units, can't suffer the same kind of unrecoverable catastrophic failure. Again, economic risk.

And yet another risk... because of the potential destructive nature, nuclear plants are obvious targets for terrorists and military action. This ties back to the ability to disable a plant and its impact. Even if it doesn't cause fatalities, taking a nuclear plant offline and forcing evacuations isn't that hard. High, high economic risk.

This is another example of your original mistake. You're narrowly focusing, and not doing a solid risk analysis. Nuclear power is riskier than solar, because the potential impact of failure is much higher.
I think the last one was.
I am amazed that many still assume CC companies eat fraud charges. That is not the case, they always yank it from the merchant where the money was spent. cited as a so-called cost of doing business if you ask around.
> The argument therefore isn't that the US is distinctively racist. It's not! Japan, for instance, is far more racist: it's an overt part of the culture. No, the issue is instead that racism germinated and produced toxic effects in the US to a greater degree than it did in other countries.

I think this is completely fair, but I also wonder if it's just because of America's inherent exposure. In Latin America, for example, "race" isn't as pointed (see the notion of a Mexican race), but skin color sure as hell does matter on a lot of levels, and that's because the rulers (Spanish) were light-skinned. That divide is still endemic and the cause of many issues in those countries. Is that any less toxic than what's happening in America? If you are one of those affected there, obviously not, and even to those not directly affected, it is arguable, or rather, it can't be argued at all.

> We're still grappling with those effects. We incarcerate a huge percentage of our population, and almost 45% of our prison population is black.

Absolutely. The system targets African-Americans. But what might be even more important is what % of our prison population is poor. Poor people go to prison because the system doesn't care about them, whether that's due to skin color or being born into the wrong family in a small town or any number of issues.

> The median income of a black family is just over half that of a white family. Black people are poorly represented in executive ranks. Look around you: they're poorly represented in technology as a whole!

This is undoubtedly true, but keep in mind that African-Americans are only about 12% of the population, in other words, they should be 1/10th of your co-workers (if we're going by ratio of the entire US population), which isn't as extreme as the racial disparities we might expect. Hey, in the Southwest, the bigger disparity lies with Hispanics - they are not represented fairly in tech, but we often don't think about them to the same extent.

If I'm trying to make a point, it's that these issues are endemic, and they are hugely problematic, but we have an undue focus on different parts of our society, whereas the problems that create them are often much wider in scope. We're looking for a bug in function B when it's really in function A and it's causing problems in function C, too...

What's happening is our modern economic system is balanced against a lot of people. If you are poor, your condition sucks, no matter your skin color. African-Americans see this disparity and it enrages them (as it should), and that creates movements (political or not). Poor whites see their condition and their (incorrect) recourse is to fight against this vague notion of "political correctness", and then you see the rise of Trumpism and other bad things.

I think trying to focus too much on race is to miss the larger systematic issue in our society, which is crony capitalism combined with globalism, and that doesn't care about your race.

You are right that most carefully presented charts will correct for exchange rate differences over time. However, a database of stocks will often keep performance over different time periods in the native currency as a convenience. For example, this is usually good enough for most screening applications, and on-the-fly charting apps.

There are at least 5,000 for JIRA alone: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-161?jql=project%20%3D%...
I used to be in the "hate JIRA" camp but have basically done a total 180 on it. I'm convinced that most people that hate it have a poorly configured setup and don't know the difference between the frustrating workflow forced on them by their management, and what the software actually does.

I've never seen a bug tracker with better keyboard commands, more powerful features, more ways of organizing stuff, more powerful querying, but all of that is just under the surface, and waiting for you to discover it. The default out of the box experience is simple, clean, works, and encourages best practices for software development.
Definitely a highlight of 2016. I haven't played a more unapologetically "gamey" video game in a long time. Case in point being the glory kills. Why does breaking off a demon's arm and beating it across the face give you health and/or ammo? Who cares! It looks great, it plays smoothly, and it's just fun.

I specifically remember an instance where Doomguy needs to shut down some power conduit. The doctor on the radio specifies that you only need to shut it down temporarily and that it can solve the world's energy crisis (by harvesting the energy of Hell). Without a moment's hesitation the Doom marine just destroys the power conduit.

You basically play a Rage Elemental.
Hydro is as reliable as the rain. When I was a child (and 97% of the power came from hydro) the newspapers would sometimes predict power shortage in the summer because there hadn't been much snow in the winter, and sometimes they predicted low power prices because of an abundance of snow.

In a way hydro is rather like solar power, which is as reliable as the sun, and wind, which is as reliable as the wind. I know of places where the sun shines reliably and there isn't much dust, and I know of places where it doesn't. I know of places where the wind blows fairly steadily from roughly the same direction most days, and I know of places where it doesn't.
Hydropower is somewhat environmentally questionable, but it's "renewable" by any reasonable definition. Your link confirms this:

...because it is an endless, constantly recharging system, hydropower is defined as a renewable energy by the Environmental Protection Agency.
This is how the entire web should be, honestly.
I don't think there is any good evidence for Australia being populated before 45,000 years ago. Modern humans hadn't even left Africa 75,000 years ago.

Credit card gets stolen - I call bank, they remove charge, and I don't pay until matter is resolved.

Debit card gets stolen - All my money is taken out of my bank. I now cannot pay my rent or buy groceries. I tell bank, and they start an investigation. Maybe in 90 days I get my money back.

Never ever use a debit online. In fact, don't use in person. Debit cards are fine for ATM to get cash, for anything else use CC. (Plus CC gives you 2% cash back if you shop wise, that is huge).

Depends on what your end goal is and what you're starting with. If the goal is to get big and you have funds (or funding), you can be a single founder and just look for a couple of talented people, or perhaps one right-hand man, to take over the roles you're weakest in or that slow you down the most.

If your goal is to get big and you don't have funds or can't attract funding, you'll probably do best to look for a cofounder who's comfortable in the behind-the-scenes roll. If you don't have money but there're two of you, and you complementary and on the same page, you'll grow a lot faster than if you don't have money but there's one of you. The situation I ran into was not having money, and having cofounders who were not on the same page with me - that kills companies.

If you don't have money but just want a lifestyle business, then it's fine to be a single founder. You'll grow slower, but have freedom, and if all it's about for you is freedom then that'll be fine.

I'm a small business merchant, and they're passed on to me. I pay interchange plus 0.04%. If interchange on a specific transaction is 0.05% then I pay 0.09%. If it's 2.9% then I pay 2.94%.

Merchant service providers have been pushing this "interchange-plus" pricing model to win over businesses from other providers with the old "tiered rates" pricing for many years now. Even "tiered rates" did pass on some of the price differences, just not as directly.

PayPal/Stripe's model of a single flat fee for all card types is pretty much exclusively an internet (card-not-present) thing, except for the rare coffee shop with one of those Square smartphone dongles. None of the B&M stores you shop in are likely paying flat rates. Different cards cost them different amounts of money.

I disagree that anything on Facebook is "public" in the sense of "public ownership". Facebook is a private platform.

I've been debating starting a section of my personal site for stuff like this. Unfortunately it's a bit embarrassing, but i figure anything i have to google to learn, it would be beneficial to help others learn it as well. Everything from programming languages (lots of Rust errors are foreign to me, for example), to git issues.

I've often had the thought that if everyone did this it could have potential to be quite the open-sourced collection of material - a distributed self-answered Stack Overflow perhaps.

Is there any sanity in this? Or would posting everything as self-answers to Stackoverflow be more welcome to the average Googler? (higher ranking, better meta, more likely for the user to see it and community features such as commenting/voting/editing)

Dropbox circumventing security restrictions (albeit for legit reasons) is particularly worrying because they have board members who support warrentless surveillance.

> It's borderline racist

No, its not. Zen isn't a race (or even ethnicity).

Its perhaps religiously insensitive to Zen Buddhists; I'm really not sure how they tend to view the fact that -- largely through non-religious philosophical works directly influenced from contact with, though not necessarily relaying the teachings of, Zen Buddhism -- rather than, e.g., hostile stereotyping of Zen Buddhism -- the term "zen" has taken on a more general sense of simplicity and minimalism in popular culture, which is actually what the name directly relates to.
I was going to make the same observation. But I see the headline has been changed, so now the point is moot.
Some people have pride in needing less. I have always been paranoid that I overstay my welcome, or that I'm too needy. I obsess over efficiency, and strive to require less to function than the others around me. I seek to be a provider, not a consumer - that sort of reputation is an ideal (especially here in the South) and proves that I am stronger. It is a constant competition that ultimately enable my species (specifically the environment in which it dwells) to have more resources to work with.

Do not fall victim to envy and anger at the "one-percent". They have great responsibility, and there will exist a balance if they do not properly manage their resources (not necessarily in the form of redistribution). Just find the humor in the silly things money buys that only offer the utility of announcing wealth.
