A common misperception is that all the Jews were forced into exile by the Romans after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 C.E. and then, 1,800 years later, the Jews suddenly returned to Palestine demanding their country back. In reality, the Jewish people have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3,700 years. No matter how far they were scattered, they never gave up their rights or desire to return.

By the early 19th century—years before the birth of the modern Zionist movement—more than 10,000 Jews lived throughout what is today Israel. The 78 years of nation-building, beginning in 1870, culminated in the reestablishment of the Jewish State.

When many Jewish people returned to Israel in 1800s it was dry and barren. Today more than half of Israel is still desert. But Israelis are finding unique ways to make the desert bloom and prosper. “We are not the first but maybe one of the first nations ever who really found the way to cultivate the desert and make it bloom,” said Alon Badihi, executive director of the Jewish National Fund. JNF has developed and forested the land of Israel for more than 100 years.

The term “Palestine” is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C.E., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what are now Israel and the Gaza Strip. In the second century C.E., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestinato Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel. The Arabic word Filastin is derived from this Latin name.

There are many axes on which you can be liberal or conservative. He is President, not a judge, and his job is to lead the country. There's not much point in acknowledging Obama's security policies without mentioning his social, fiscal, environmental, and foreign policies.

Obama may be one things, but lying on a political spectrum neatly is not one of them. In fact, it's pretty damn hard finding a president who HAS been straightforwardly liberal or progressive, much less one that played well with the constitution. I'm not sure why you expect those two things to align.

I work for Lyft.

For this we have a secret management system, called confidant (https://lyft.github.io/confidant/), that we use to distribute any necessary secrets. So, yes, you may need to have keys on every node (depending on your monitoring system), but assuming you securely distribute them, it's not a big deal.

This is, of course, a general problem that's not necessarily related to envoy.

>What we need is much more than a clever idea: it's a paradigm shift. There's probably some sort of way to make a system that can learn from very few examples and at a very short time, like we do ourselves. Machine learning is certainly not that way. We need to find another way.

That's more like probabilistic methods, which also fight overfitting by regularizing (with a prior distribution) and allocating probability density in a smear around the training data rather than concentrating it as hard as it can (as optimization methods usually do, so to speak). And then hierarchical Bayes is what's used in many of the neat one-shot learning demos, and in theoretical neuroscience these days.

> This sounds like evidence of a playful sense of humor, unless there was a different reason the crows didn't want to get on the scale!

I'd say it's about the scale. If it had a smooth metal/plastic surface the crow might not want to stand on it, or be put off by the reflection or something along those lines.
Phabricator is also pretty amusing in terms of UX (by default), which is helpful when dealing with things that tend to anger folks -- like spirited reviews. I've often wondered if the sense of humor is half fun, half intentional in terms of psychologically making tedious work better for all involved. Even if accidental it's a nice thought.

Based on my experience, Phabricator has some quirks but is quite solid, and the well-designed command line arc workflow would please folks who refuse to open a Web browser.

Many people smarter than me do think that caching [SQL] queries proved to be really bad idea (regardless of DBMS). Why caching API queries would be better?

Even if I would use query caching, I cannot imagine how it would help me to deal with really long queries (say, lacking proper indexes). Caching doesn't help when your query runs for 30 seconds – nobody will wait (and produce cache for others) so long.
Regulators have their own incentives, without being influenced by outsiders.

For the FDA employee, incentives are very strong to err on the side of banning something. If you ban something and 1000 people die as a result, nobody will care, but if you allow something and 10 people die as a result, heads will roll at the agency.

Of course, I know nothing about this specific decision, but it is consistent with this.

How is it more direct to use loop? As someone who has been writing production clojure for nearly 5 years I usually only see loop macro used by devs coming from oop because that's a more comfortable pattern for them. I have rarely needed to use it.

As far as collections go, there's filter, remove, reduce, and various take functions. I don't see the deficiency.

Debugging is still an issue, but I personally don't find it too difficult... probably because I'm used to it.

After the Snowden thing blew up, Obama made an angry rant about wanting to punish whistleblowers to the utmost extent the law allows. Obama isn't a good guy, and he seems to like all the power he's got. At least, that's what I heard when he went off on Snowden. There wasn't enough nuance in Obama's speech for me to grant him any national security leeway - he was just grumpy and lashing out because he was getting challenged on his policies.

In general, Obama had a bad run because he did a pretty bad job, so his legacy is shot. Clinton is no small part of his failures with the Benghazi incident, Libya in general, Egypt, Ukraine, and the asinine "Russia reset". Clinton's campaign is disintegrating, so I think she'll fade before the election.

Trump is a complete mystery. He could be a totalitarian, using Obama's extra-constitutional maneuvers as a springboard to dominate the people. Or, he could be a populist and flop around whichever way the wind blows - he could pardon Snowden just to placate the mob and get some short-term bump in approval ratings - or just as easily put a hit on the guy to get the same.

When Trump is not adjusting his message for an audience, I get the sense he thinks he can govern like a big city boss does. In the best case scenario, I envision Trump will be unable to govern because capitol hill won't respond to his small ball policies, belligerence, and whining. Congress will just plow forward with their profligate debt spending and toss him a policy bone from time to time.

> a series of 8kHz audio recordings (ie. crappy phone quality samples)

I worked in speech recognition for a bit and 8kHz was the standard audio rate for recordings. No one saw this as an impediment; and it really isn't. 8kHz is able to capture up to 4kHz frequencies and the fundamental frequencies of speech are MUCH lower than 4kHz.
I'm from Pennsylvania, I think it was the Quakers[0] who framed it originally like this but police here do more community policing as opposed to broken windows policing. In my experience, most police mainly use the law as a tool to keep the peace and don't really care what you do as long as it doesn't bother anyone else. Sure there must be some bad ones out there, but it goes to show you that a different mindset can have a measurable effect on the outcome.

The best advice I ever got regarding police came from my mother years ago, who got out of defense law the moment she laid eyes on the system. "At the end of the day, a cop is just someone with a gun, and if no one else is there to contradict them, their story will be believed."

Now of course we know that even with video evidence, there's little hope.

It's still good advice in general.

I grew up in a small rural community. I'm sure the cops here occasionally do things like changing tires for people.

They're also bullies who like to go on power trips. If they feel disrespected at all, they will beat you senseless (and have).

Police across the US are almost universally bullies on power trips. The job of police offer is every bully's biggest dream: they can get paid to go around and abuse people while demanding respect from everyone.

Excessive parking: Two areas of San Diego have lots of restaurants, bars and clubs. There is also lots of "free" parking attached to some of the businesses in these areas. This parking is not available to the visitors to the restaurants, bars or clubs, which surprisingly have less parking. One bar I frequent has four parking spaces and way more than 16 chairs to sit on inside. The free parking is restricted to patrons of the business the spaces are attached to. If all the parking was paid parking, it would tend to be in reach of multiple businesses so one could pick up some Tums after a meal at a restaurant without first moving the car. I have daydreamed about reforming parking and adding in short hop buses like the jitneys that Atlantic City had for a few years, so you go to the dense business district, visit many businesses from one parking spot.

I've seen a few projects use Phabricator, but I can't seem to understand how to use it.

Github's issues, despite it's flaws, is easy enough that non-programmers can use it. Phabricator is complicated enough that it's actually caused me to not report a bug at one point.
Had I read through this article years ago I'd feel very different about this then I do now. My default position is, and always will be, to suspect the government is at fault but that being said I still understand why police officers do what they do.

I'd like to leave something that has helped me to understand the thought process of most police officers. There is a youtube channel called "Think Like A Cop - The Rest Of The Story" run by an..... interesting character. He's an expolice officer who, by all accounts I've been able to find, was very good at what he did.

He presents the "other side of the story", the side of the police that you don't usually hear well developed. From watching many of his videos, I can pretty safely assume that he doesn't trust the government, I'm fairly sure he isn't racist, and I'm fairly sure he isn't sexist. What is more representative of him is that he tries his hardest not to be politically correct. It is my opinion that even if you don't respect him as a person, you can probably respect his methods of thinking about problems and his experience as a police officer. I'd hope some of the people here watch some of his stories about how cops react to situations as he makes things that seem 100% unreasonable seem much more sensible.

For instance his motto is "no people belong on the ground" which refer to to people who want to be adversarial to the police. This policy is blanketed across all people that cops deal with and after watching some of his police shooting videos you can see why. When he shows videos of cops getting shot or killed he mostly shows videos where the police don't follow this golden rule. This rings true with all of the cop shooting videos I've seen.

I'm not saying he is right, I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying he offers a very "interesting" perspective that I think many will enjoy.
Ah, okay, I somehow didn't realize that the trailing number referred to the number in the library file. Thanks!

I've only ever had one Anker product fail out of 50+ over the years. It was a USB A to micro B cable - the micro B connector started to bend and eventually snapped off. There was a lot of complaints on Amazon - it seems that it had affected a large number of customers. I contacted Anker, who readily acknowledged that this was a batch issue with that particular model but as they couldn't ascertain exactly which batches were affected, a replacement may well develop the same fault.

The offered me the choice of another cable (different product line) or a refund.

In that one instance where I had a problem, I think they handled it really well. The acknowledged the issue, were completely honest that a replacement with currently circulating stock could develop the same fault, and offered a solution.

With that sort of service at that price point, it's hard NOT to recommend them.
No, that's not what a class is supposed to be.

The view of a classroom as being a conduit where the teacher transmits knowledge from their brain into the students is entirely outdated. That's not how learning works.

To learn, you have to process information, build understanding. One way that has been shown to work quite well at this is to make students explain to each other and challenge each other.

You may have heard the phrase "I didn't really learn this until I had to teach it", which is another reflection of the same thing; the act of explaining to other people improves your understanding.

Not to mention that it also improves your skills at things like making a coherent argument and working with other people, which are quite useful skills to have in life.

If this doesn't work for you, you don't need the teacher either. After all, what can they tell you that you can't just read in the textbook?
The problem with this bullshit.

Yes bullshit.

The problem with this bullshit is that the politically correct adjectives seem to change on a daily basis. I can't keep up. What word are we supposed to use in this half-hour period?

I didn't believe Bill Cosby's accusers. Neither did law enforcement. Seeing the cover of the magazine with so many accusers, yeah maybe I and law enforcement were both wrong and it needed a closer look. Didn't want to believe it.

It could be the same with all of these stories of law enforcement behaving very badly. It seems like a weird thing for so many disparate people to be fabricating. Maybe there is a problem and reporting it isn't getting toward a solution? If it happens to you, silence is almost certainly the wrong course of action. I don't want to believe there is an endemic problem with law enforcement either. What I want shouldn't matter at all.
One thing true of all bugs, it passed the type checker.
The history of policing in the US is a bad one, rife with torture and abuses that are heard about for decades until various notorious cases force the public to demand change. You also have generations of people who were legally allowed to be abused by police because of their race, or economic status.

That shapes the character of a country's police, and the people's response to them.
It works, but it requires some time investment. Not everyone has the same quirks, so you will have to play around a lot and try to find the cause of different issues.

I remember a long time ago, I think it was in Saskatchewan, where the RCMP would pick up drunk indians, drive them way out of the city and drop them off. In the middle of winter. Keep in mind this is Saskatchewan where it's typically -30C at night in the winter.

It's fairly formalized here. I work at an architectural lighting manufacturer, and the construction industry is very phone-based. I'm sure most electrical contractors have smartphones by now, but most of the questions from the field still come in as phone calls. So we're expected to keep good coverage of the phones, and if I'm not around then everyone needs to know to direct technical calls to someone else's desk.

Sick days do get logged, and if I really need more time off I can start burning vacation days. Given the choice, I'd rather spend a shitty sleep deprived unproductive day at work.

Eventually goes up to 10 sick days, but I don't remember when the threshold is. Frankly it's a strange thing to base on seniority, as if newer employees somehow get sick less?
That depends on what you mean by "individual consciousness." Unitarity seems to be one of the inherent characteristics of human consciousness, which is the only unambiguous example of consciousness that we have. Humans can only consciously attend to one thing at a time. We don't know whether this is a necessary feature of consciousness or merely a human limitation (because we only have one data point), but my money is on the former.

This is not to say that consciousness could not exist in a physically distributed system like an ant colony, but the colony would still perceive itself as "an individual" (whatever that could possibly mean in that case).

I am not attacking anyone, simply clarifying the implicit assumptions of people who believe that Snowden needs a pardon. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has introduced jurisdictions that goes outside of the usual process of law, notably publicity; people who oppose that trend in government tend to assume that Snowden has been convicted using such an extraordinary measure. Whether that is possible within the current law framework seems irrelevant to both those claiming for his head, and Snowden himself.
