We absolutely can differ in perception.

As long as the boundaries are the same we can perceive something different, call it the same, and never be confused; all the while 'seeing' a completely different colour to one another.
As others have said, start with the basics and learn to use the help system. I found it enormously helpful to watch videos like Derek Wyatt's[1] that show a Vim master at work and explain the basics. It's not that I learned the key mappings from watching videos, but I did learn the potential of Vim.

Then, with a basic understanding of how to use Vim as a beginner and a comprehension of the possibilities, I paid attention to how I worked and looked for areas for improvement. When I spotted something that I could do more efficiently, usually reducing repetition, I used the Vim help and Google to find out how to do it.

A trivial example would be using the hjkl movements to go further than a couple of characters. First, I learned to move in words (w and b), then I learned to use the f and t searches and incremental searches. Then using counts to move specific numbers in whichever direction. After a month I stopped reaching for the mouse or doing llllllllllllllll to move through text.

I learned slowly: maybe adding one cool key mapping or feature to my workflow every couple of weeks. After a few months, it adds up. Soon you don't even think about it. You see what you need to do and your fingers do it for you.

Vim is a complex beast: an accretion of decades of features, most of which you'll never need. The best way to learn is by the same process of accretion. You'll start off using Vim like a non-modal editor, but if you stick with it, your patience will pay off.

Is the internet access for the whole embassy disconnected, or have they isolated it to Julian Assange?
Have done reviews for IEEE, APEC, and ACM stuff. There can be many reasons that a presentation is not accepted. Some rejects are a simple instance of subject matter not matching the scope of the symposium. Or there can be some problems with the math and other technical issues. Another unfortunate and not uncomman issue is where the English syntax and/or grammar is so poor that the meaning of the proposal is lost. And there can be the occasional submittal that is a bit before its time - it has happened to myself. Example is the IEEE (PSES and other societies) is probably at least 15 years behind the ACM on matters of software safety and test methodology. Members of the ISPCE tech committiee recently approached me about a session on software safety analysis for the 2017 symposium; yet my submittals for similar presentations were rejected at least twice during last 10 years, by this same group of people.

So a rejected presentation proposal may not have necessarly been a poor idea. Please do not take rejections personnaly.
Social Security is tied to how much you made (up to a point) so low income earners will receive less of it (though they may receive more from other sources in that case). It also tends to be barely enough to scrape by eating days-old bakery outlet bread, cheap canned soup on sale, and living in a crappy poorly-maintained house (or trailer home) in a tiny, poor country town, with no hope of things ever improving, even in the best cases. If you have ties to a community church maybe they'll help you fix your leaking roof, because there's no way its happening otherwise. That's your life on a Social Security (only) retirement.
It doesn't make it "more predictable". You're simple achieving better fit to the sample data distribution.

I guess another way of saying it is that your mess is starting to look more like their mess.

Anything that deals with the future is inherently non-predictable. Using chaos theory as a framework, we say it is unpredictable because we are unable (and will always be unable) to model the currently system completely. There will always be data that was not captured hiding between the data that was captured. Follow the arrow-of-time far enough out into the future and that non-captured data will manifest itself in the captured data, thereby (usually) creating a deviation from the modeled future.

To get around this we use statistics and probability. We rely on the law of large numbers and regression to the mean. In other words, we hope that the future won't get too weird and will be similar enough to the past, within some confidence interval.

So, we're not really predicting a specific outcome, we're predicting that the outcome will be some point within some confidence interval.

The reason we can get better at this, is as we capture more data we can better guess the inputs and assumptions we use to create the model. We throw out stuff that didn't happen to be relevant. We discover stuff that we should have considered relevant. If we're lucky the model closely follows the physical laws of our reality and we can apply the frameworks so arduously worked out by chemists, physicists, biologists, etc. If we're not so lucky we're dealing with sentiment, conjecture, or any of the other human inputs of the financial markets, and we are forced to make up formulas that work until they fail spectacularly.
Are you willing to give "Rolling Stone" a second chance? They've been quite apologetic about that incident. Op's piece seems pretty good to me.
> AFAIK only Safari has 3rd party cookies disabled by default.

Safari's "3rd party cookies disabled" behavior is not the same as the Firefox one. Firefox's blocks third-party cookies (though it's hard to tell whether it just blocks _setting_ or also blocks _sending). Safari does something where they send the in some cases, but I'm having a hard time determining which cases, possibly because they've changed behavior a few times. At one point they blocked third-party cookies, _unless_ the third-party site has previously been visited as a first-party site. What this meant in practice is that Safari wouldn't block third-party cookies for things like Facebook or Google that you probably have visited as a first party.

At this point they _may_ be doing double-keying of cookies instead (top domain and third-party domain as key, not just the third-party domain). As I said, it's a bit hard to tell from the documentation out there, which is conflicting and contradictory, and I have no time right now to go read the source. And even then they might only be doing double-keying in the "never visited as first party" case...

The point of all of which is, "blocking third party cookies" is not a well-defined thing and different browsers mean quite different things, with different web compat impact and site breakage, when they say they do it.

Difficult to imagine this being "influenced" by Clinton. It feels like it would be to Trump's significant advantage if this happens. It plays directly into his narrative.
I agree. In fact I would say these words mean any living person regardless of nationality (though the courts would disagree with me):

In addition, Figure 4.21 (and surrounding text) explicitly mentions the positive longer term growth effects due to migrants.

That is assuming the current system is not good enough.

It's also a matter of society not drowning in crime. It's better if government can give money to people instead of criminal paying poor people to sell drugs.

Yes and no. Google ranks AMP-ed pages differently, as well as showing that lightning bolt icon. It is definitely not a level playing field.

Wow, just because a protagonist does something in a piece of literature or theater doesn't mean that the author, much less society, approves of the deed in question (rape, in this case), or considered the one responsible for the deed a "role model".

I mean, didn't you read and discuss "Native Son" in high school? Do you think that the fact that its protagonist committed murder means that Richard Wright or society at the time approved of murder?

And by the way, when "The Fountainhead" and "Streetcar Named Desire" came out, those rape scenes were just about as controversial as the publication of "Native Son".
It is a simplistic view of it. Hardest part of the farming is not seeding, even not land preparation and maintaining, but making sure that you are the one to pick and keep the harvest.

Well, it depends on what you're doing. For example, if I want to duplicate a line in vi, I can type 'yyp' and _bam_: duplicate line. With a keyboard and a mouse, I have to reach over, select the whole line (being careful not to over or under select), hit Ctrl+C, move the cursor down to the beginning of the next line, and hit Ctrl+V. If I want to change the contents of a quoted string, I can type 'f"lct"' and start typing. Again, with a mouse, I have to select what I want to change: if I select too much, I can back up the mouse, but if I accidentally started the selection on the second rather than the first character, I have to abort the whole selection and start over again. If I want to change each line from the current line to the next blank line to a continuous quoted string, I can type ':.,/^$/s/\(.*\)/"\1" +/'. With a mouse, I have to click the beginning of each line and cut+paste the quotes into place, probably undoing at least a couple of times because I clicked the wrong place, etc. etc.

I know, I'm talking about milliseconds (or nanoseconds) here, but when I use vi, it's just, sort of "constant", like playing the piano. I never break my rhythm.
It's the site, not the css, I'd wager.

After a few months using Spacemacs, I moved to neovim, but took the idea of the space leader and "meaningful" mappings with me.

I remapped the leader key to space, and created a bunch of sensible mappings: all my Markdown mappings are under <space>m and so on.

I left most of the normal mode movements at their defaults, though.

It would be cool if someone could do a Spacevim vimrc or plugin.

He has in fact more protections against extradition in Sweden than he does in the UK, both because the UK has a friendlier bilateral extradition agreement with the US and because the ECHR would require the consent of both the UK and Sweden at this point for him to be extradited.

>Information is either true or false, the source isn't really relevant, all that matters are the facts.

Absurd. Of course your sources matter. A credible source is more believable than an incredible source. Ever heard of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? Looking only at the material presented and not at the presenter of the material is only giving you part of the picture.
I have replied to the other commenting wondering about Vim but I will say it here as well: Learning to get fast with Vim is incredibly rewarding. It is tough to memorize everything, sure. But it's all in pursuit of speed and efficiency that become huge multipliers over your career. You use so much less hand effort, and it runs straight from the terminal which means you need fewer running applications.
Hold on, let me just grab my stopwatch and time the market.
Assange has a lot more enemies than the ones you choose to believe. Considering the Panama Papers were pretty much a long expose of Russian and Middle-East corruption, much moreso than the West, I suspect a lot of angry autocrats and dictators would like a piece of him too and they're not shy about war crimes or assassinating journalists.

The leaks he's released target dozens of nations. He has a lot of enemies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_published_by_WikiL...

edit: apparantly he didn't do the panama papers, but the above link shows a lot of players who are going to be angry at him, especially his host nation considering he leaked UK Trident nuclear secrets last year.

You're comparing entirely different things.

Chinese cars are barely being imported in the U.S. (Three models so far). It has taken many years to get this far, and will take longer for them to have a similar reputation as, say, Korea.

Tesla has done well in the luxury car market, but they've been late and had quality issues. The Tesla 3 is not out yet and there is still a big risk they'll fail.

So, "laughably easy" is a major exaggeration. It's possible to launch a new car company but nobody finds it easy.
IIRC from a shareholders call, a Model S has margins from 20-30% percent, even after R&D is taken out. Tesla's losses have primarily stemmed from capital expenditures.
I don't even think the naysayers were particularly wrong. Apple succeeded by fundamentally changing what a smartphone was, not by beating Blackberry and Nokia and such at their own game.

The biggest challenges were being extremely energy efficient to get acceptable battery life out of a tiny battery, and being extremely data efficient to get acceptable costs from expensive cellular carriers. People pointed out, and rightfully so, that Apple wasn't good at either.

They didn't anticipate that Apple would build a phone that was basically a thin shell around a (relatively) huge battery, or that they'd manage to convince a major carrier to offer an "unlimited" data plan. Suddenly, the stuff that the incumbents were good at didn't matter that much.

I don't see any way to do an equivalent move in the automobile industry. I don't think there are any areas that everybody is failing to fundamentally rethink, the way they were with energy and data usage a decade ago, where Apple could jump in and change the whole game. But I wouldn't bet money on it....
Yea or it could just be the internet is down. It happens to regular people all the time.
Gulden: Added value for your money
Does anyone think that the law will be applied here? i.e. does breaking the law result in legal punishment?

I no longer believe that "ignorance of the law is no excuse."

If the judges, policemen, government agents, etc. aren't held accountable for breaking the law (or not knowing it), then I should not be held accountable, either.

The alternative is one where the enforcers of the legal system break it with impunity, while the peasants (that's us!) suffer under the full weight of the law, and of the government enforcement thereof.

Obama was recently revealed to be communicating with her personal email server, in a Wikileaks leak. Podesta asked if they should withhold those presidential emails from the FBI.

And then this happened. It could be that Obama is now pressuring them to get Assange, since Wikileaks is covering him. And certainly Obama does have the ability to project power worldwide.
There are still people who like to Latinise their vocabulary to make up for not really having anything worthwhile to say and I bet they'd pick up the word "Amelioration" if you showed it to them. There's a general trick that you can import Latinate English vocabulary into German and pronounce it German to sound obnoxiously pretentious (e.g. apparently the official German phrase for "lift boy" is "Elevatorführer" which sounds so pretentious to Germans that most people I've pointed this out to thought it was satire).

That said, "Analysis" is a distinct term in mathematics (I think the meaning is the same in English in that context). Outside of mathematics it is actually "Analyse" (such as when analysing a substance in chemistry or inspecting something in close detail in general). I don't think "Zerlegung" is particularly widely used in any context but it might be.

I was a bit confused when I began studying computer science in university because all my prior exposure to programming had been colloquial or in English. But German academia had actually created its own vocabulary for things like stacks ("Stapel") and arrays ("Felder"), which are mostly just exact translations. This seems particularly awkward when nearly all actual programming is done in English and the academic and practical vocabulary clashes so hard.
I believe in something cool like this: a package manager should be 'somehow' coupled with your editor.

The editor should install shortcuts to often-used-code patterns of a package that you just installed.

In webstorm - on typing 'descnew' I get like 12-15 lines of boiler plate [0] (descnew = describe new test group - have a live template setup in webstorm). I am sure many use feature like this - but wouldn't that be cool if it comes packaged and are universal between editors.
