To decondition oneself out of all of the social conditioning naturally involves giving up both cynicism[1] and pride[2] (they are socialized feelings).

[1] Urban Dictionary defines "Tell me more" as an expression of put-down: "When someone say something stupid or simple. It's used to annoy people by asking them to tell you more when the statement is final." http://tell-me-more.urbanup.com/6108370 And it takes the simple naïveté of childhood to dislodge the sophisticated cynicism of adulthood.

Could it just be that 2 men who are "in it together" are more likely to go with "bold" and "adventurous" options? I've personally felt like that in the past, as part of a group of friends it's easier to pick an extreme and think "well, maybe that wasn't wise, but at least we're all in it and we'll have a good time!"

"The most time-consuming things often can't be totally cut out, but they can be systemized or delegated."

This is a big part of it, and it makes the comparison between Musk or Branson and an average Joe a bit disingenuous. They have the wealth afford to delegate many things that consume an average person's time. I doubt Musk does his own grocery shopping, and Branson likely doesn't scrub his own toilets.
I think you're describing Homebrew. Actually whenever I'm building and installing something in ~/.local (which I do fairly frequently if I don't install it via apt-get, I'm not a /usr/local fan), I wish I were using something like Homebrew. Just something to manage whats in ~/.local, so I can remove things one package at a time. It'd be nice to have a lightweight version of checkinstall for non-root usage, for example.
I understand the prompt I get from Maps that I'm visiting a location and adding a shot could be helpful, especially when volunteering as a "Local Guide", but IIUC the GP is talking about taking private shots in the Photos app and being prodded into putting it online? That's a bridge too far on the intent because the process is just not the same.
Sounds like an ideal time to dive into Swift, and start building something new.
>If the goal is irrational, the method to achieve it does not matter.

That's actually patently false. I might have an irrational goal of driving a Ferrari while pouring ketchup on my head, but not all methods are equally capable of realising it.

And of course, if I break into a bank and steal money as the method to get the Ferrari I could be put to jail (either before or after realizing my dream) -- so the method absolutely does matter.

>Ex falso quod libet

That is about logical statements -- it says nothing about methods of realising a goal, except if your goal is to build correct logical propositions.
What won't happen is that Apple won't let people build against old versions of Swift. We'll all be on 3.x soon.

I have no idea how hard the conversion of a large Python 2 to 3 project is. My projects were small and I had no troubles. At any rate 2020 will be here soon and 2.x support will end. All Swift users will be on 6.x by then.
It is unclear how accurate this is.

Quote:

"After extensive investigation, including interviews with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden’s contention that he brought these matters to anyone’s attention."

He says he told people, NSA says he didn't.
Snowden's actions were effectively an attack on the mechanisms of governance: if they let him off the hook, they fear they will encourage more people to act like him, and that affects the solidity of the lever of governmental power.

If government is a tool, it's a rare politician that votes to make the tool less reliable. Note that this is distinct from changing the scope of what the tool can affect: this is about the reliability of the tool. Even politicians that were in favour of what Snowden did, who thought he contributed positively, and voted against surveillance, would still likely baulk at making life too easy for more people like him. That's because government is supposed to flow from the top down, and policy change is not supposed to emanate from the machinery. The machinery is supposed to execute the orders of government.
Yeah, the more people know about this stuff the more likely they seem to be to turn it off.

I'm amazed that you know that many people with no smart phone or facebook account, though - I know one person who doesn't have facebook, and no-one (as of a couple of years ago) who doesn't have a smartphone.
Coffee shops that have single-origin beans only used for pour overs, french press, etc., can typically use the same bag over the course of at least multiple days, sometimes weeks. Two shops around me at least keep them in nice jars, but no vacuum sealing.
Well, those are ways of keeping yourself busy.
I'd highly recommend Dr. David West's "Object Thinking" book. It does an excellent job of (1) describing how most programmers who use an OO language fall into writing "small Cobol" programs and (2) how to avoid this.

>The NSA, which has more surveillance in the Internet backbone than everyone else combined, probably has a better idea, but unless the U.S. decides to make an international incident over this, we won't see any attribution.

Or unless it's the US itself. Not the most likely possibility I think, but still a possibility.
I didn't learn OOP very well in school, but once I wrote enough code I started to see that it was becoming a massive cluster fuck and I couldn't remember what I wrote half the time. So I broke it down into functions, but then I was passing huge amounts of arguments into some of the functions. Then I realized I had a lot of functions where the 90% of same thing was happening so I passed a keyword into the function to make it do something slightly differently in an if else. Then I realized I could create a class, store the variables in the class and call the class methods without passing the arguments, which was much cleaner. Then I realized that I could create a class that inherits and overrides the 10% difference of the other class, which was again much cleaner. Those are the basic two problems that OOP solved for me and I've taken it many steps further a couple of times, but it can definitely be abused. If you get to that point, you should start looking at design patterns to learn how OOP is used correctly. Lynda.com has some good videos on OOP design patterns you can use their free trial for. They're by the author of one of the highest rated books on design patterns and pretty short.
I think we have full control over how busy we are. But we also have full knowledge of the consequences of our actions, or lack thereof. So we choose to do more. Maybe we work more to have a nicer home, which takes more work to maintain. Maybe we hire out maintenance to have less money, but more time. Maybe we choose to have children and a spouse, which takes time. Maybe we choose to have a nice yard. Maybe we choose none of those things, and sit in a low-maintenance apartment playing games, or maybe we ditch it all and hike the Appalachian Trail. The point is that we make those choices. If anyone feels they do not have that control of their life, that is a problem I would suggest be fixed.

You can use Mailvelope! Or GPG/PGP. Use it to sign your mail. And do so using PGP/MIME, not text. PGP/Mime uses an attachment for the signature, and doesn't mess up the text with ugly code. Then put a small signature at the end of your mail explaining what PGP is, linking to Wikipedia, and link to your public key. As you use HTML, do this in a small font, 50% grey, and it won't get in the way. I do this since two years.

Research isn't cheap. Testing isn't cheap. Marketing isn't cheap. Manufacturing, distribution, the list goes on.

There has to be a financial incentive to build an infrastructure around a product.

Add in that access is highly controlled, meaning that there is significant IT and non-IT security infrastructure that needs to be in place throughout the life cycle of a given drug.

There will always be instances that are easy to politicize - pick your favorite disease and there's a company with an overly expensive drug on the market. But what happens when the financial incentive to innovate goes away?

There are cheap drugs all over the third world. Not too many of them were developed there.

A major change in how the industry worked would be a significant event that I'm not ready for, and I don't think the rest of the world is either. It will take years for new economic strategies to build - and not all of those strategies will be consumer friendly.

Today the solution is that access to expensive drugs is subsidized by insurance which is subsidized by law. It's not the best solution, but it's a working solution.

The political and economic climate that we have tells me that we'll talk about change for another decade and look to actually implement some sort of real change sometime 20-40 years from now as the industry ages and stabilizes.

You have to remember how young "modern medicine" actually is. Rabbit tests for pregnancy aren't that far back in our history. We're still at the point where compulsory sterilization is seen as a reasonable resolution to problems. We're mere decades away from a time when companies like Baxter and Abbot enjoyed an almost competition free environment and not too long before that, heroin was a common ingredient in cough remedies and parasites were commonly sold weight loss solutions.
My iPad Prod is Fantastic for creation. It's a far better drawing/art tool unless I spend another $1k+ on a cintiq, it's a great video editor, really good music editor, and I even code on it a ton. It's without a doubt my favorite device. I have a surface pro 4, macbook pro, iphone 6 plus (soon a 7 plus), and my iPad Pro 12.9 in regular usage. I need all of them but for notes and art creation the iPad is the hardest to replace.

It basically comes down to named groupings of assemblies. They are really just marketing terms. I consider the .NET Framework to encompass all .NET assemblies shipped by Microsoft in the System and sometimes Microsoft namespaces. The ones you listed are simply groupings that Microsoft considers important enough to create project templates for, have forums dedicated to each, produce examples for, etc.
Good job. The landscape for creating apps will never be the same. Stick with it, keep making it better; the audience is there.

>> I'm not a commodity and never will be

Consultants can be somewhat specialized and can have high demand. Gold is a commodity, but scarcity (or perceived scarcity) makes it higher priced than other metals. If there weren't as many consultants out there, you might be able to charge even more.

Android is a cheaper alternative to iPhone, as is Nokia. You are correct that there are other factors at play that make the situation less like a commodity market. Copyrights and patents - both government sanctioned monopolies - are the primary thing enabling Apples high prices. That's not to say I'm against those things, just pointing to the real reason for what's going on.
Why Use Flow? An introduction to the benefits of static typing in JavaScript
When I read this, it always makes me wonder what is going through your mind: Being a traitor does not mean someone is wrong or deserving of punishment. The implication is that a person's country is always right, and also that if he had been a Russian spy, he would have been a patriot. No. Right and wrong are not governed by national borders and laws.
Of course there are controversies. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. We have half the folks crying "Hurry up approval of life-saving drugs! Stop stalling! Too much paperwork!" and the other half "Condemn the heartless drug company that rushed in a drug that killed (some) people! No blood for profit!"
Spot on. And they don't provide a "never ask me again" button, as far as I can remember. (I can't check without driving off into the country side and taking a photo to verify...)

To be clear though it is when I take a photo with the Camera app, and I think it's Maps that detects this and asks me. But it's automatic, amounts to the same thing. It may be because I live in a country with relatively fewer tourists so perhaps their photo count around here is lower. (Chile. There are definitely tourists, but it's just not Europe.)

Regardless, I basically just find it a bit rude.

Technically what used to be bulletin boards with all their maneurisms and excentrics has now been moved to reddit.

You still have flourish of subtopics and categories and groups you can post to on reddit just like you were able to do on usenet bulletin boards. However for the most of places there the problem of an eternal-september is in constant effect in so far as everyone with an internet connection and an account can post, which makes moderators (unbiased ones especially!) all the more valuable

Yes, not really a problem in that case. But let's not forget that this release also contains nearly 50 other source breaking swift-evolution proposals (full changelog here: https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

But one of the things I like about how the language is begin developed is that everyone involved is aware that having the language in a constant state of flux is painful, and try to provide useful warning messages (or wizards if you use XCode) for those that will need to update their code to a newer release sooner or later.

Thank you for your reply, and making your position understandable. In my humble opinion science has already a problem with communicating to the general public.

We are still far away from the comprehension of state, or even computuation in living tissue. The technology underlying silicium based computers is quite primitive compared to biologics. Certainly - these are interesting thoughts in theory - but for the sake of science communications with the general public I am very careful in what context and what way I would articulate these concepts.

Animal welfare, and the health of ecosystems, is definitely another minefield of a discussion.

Ha, I should have been more careful, there was no hidden tone in my previous message. I genuinely wanted to know more about how to, and what are the limits (losing condition is probably not childhood regression either).

Do you consider asian philosophy (like buddhism I believe) that takes a contemplative approach on existence, to be childlike (from memories, I used to spend a lot of time contemplating things, lots of things are amazing when you're a kid, stone, river, rain, sky, ..)

ps: interesting interpretation of the nature of pride and cynicism. I'm not so sure about the social roots of pride, even though I agree that it's often socially distorded, but pride is also felt when doing something you feel about as beautiful, loving and right. For instance the other day instead of killing some annoying insect I took a step to tame my instinct and carefully move them out my room. This is also something I'd call "pride" even though it's far less social, but I agree it's not unrelated either)

pps: also not that I said 'your brain' as I believe it's a part of nature and evolution in our maturation from child to adult. As a child you enjoy asking things from others; a lot less later on though.
Why Anarchy?
Those were all the cases where socialism was installed through some form of revolution or war. It's not specific just to socialism, basically any movement that has risen to the power by force will try to use that same force to stay in power (there are exceptions, of course, but rare).
I think one thing here was missed: managing [successful] relationships.

I have 2 kids - i have to directly manage a relationship with my wife, with each kid, with both kids, and with my wife and both kids. She has to do the same. I have to indirectly manage a relationship between the two kids, and with the wife and both/each kids.

To do it right would mean breaking up those 10 free hours I might have into each of the above.

This is based on why someone might buy it as opposed to buying it for what it is at face value. As a pipeline for identifying entrepreneurial talent with a tech emphasis it would make sense in that range. If the price goes up too much then you would just build your own.

> the US Supreme Court said that money is free speech

That is untrue.

The court did not rule that "money is speech", nor did it rule that spending money is a protected activity. Rather, it ruled that spending money can facilitate a protected activity, and that laws which restrict people's ability to participate in protected activities are subject to scrutiny.

We can argue about exactly where the line should be drawn, but the framework is in my view obviously correct, and is one which we apply to every other right. Money is not abortion, but that doesn't mean Texas can pass a law saying no one can spend more than $5 on an abortion, because people have a right to choose an abortion, and exercising that right, in some cases, can cost money.

> So much corruption has flowed from that decision that it's almost unbelievable.

Actually, you're right: I don't believe it. In my experience the most strident critics of the decision rarely understand how limited it was, how little it changed, or how weird the rules were prior to the decision. If I had a dollar for every anti-Citizen's United rant that focused on behaviour which had been legal for decades...
While I can't speak to whether or not it is written into the law, there is historical precedent on the matter. Look up Clayton Lonetree for one where the scale was low. He was given a shorter sentence than is typical of espionage. Look up Aldrich Ames or Robert Hanssen for someone where the damage was estimated to be much greater.

I'm not sure I get what all the cynicism is about. Github can be really helpful for figuring out where someone's strengths lie.

If they are really proud of what they've done, I would want to look at a few sample projects.

If they can explain clearly what their code does, I might even forego a code test. After all, if you aren't paying for the test, you're just wasting their time. There are lots of candidates who won't do an unpaid code test because the subject matter is usually really boring, and they would rather work on something meaningful.

I suppose anything can be faked, so I would be asking myself if their story matches what's on the Github profile. If it doesn't, then what you're seeing is probably fake. If it does, you can use it as a springboard to ask more questions.

Serious About DevOps? Velocity Attendees Are Ahead of the Game
The MTA's "See something, say something" campaign in NYC always kind of comes off sounding dystopian to me.
The question of "time" and what you might call "metatime" are two different ones. "How does time work?" is a legitimately interesting question on its own without considering "metatime", and amenable to at least a certain amount of investigation. "Does time perhaps get scrambled around in ways we can't possibly observe?" is at least academically interesting, but in contrast, not very amenable to investigation. How could we prove that the multiple-world hypothesis is true? How can we prove that the universe does not simply stop five minutes from now? Or ram into what proves to be something else that we intersect in our future? How could we prove whether or not the Great Simulator does or does not roll back the simulation sometimes because It did not like the particular set of results? If there are ways of investigating these questions, they are much less obvious.
