"Things I won't work with" deserves an extra highlight! I am not interested in chemistry at all but I read all the blog posts about once a year because the author is just so good with words.
Love both sites. Fear the worst. Hope I'm wrong. They've influenced many purchasing-decisions. Happy with 95% of 'em.

PS Wirecutter/sweethome replaced consumersearch.com for me. ConsumerSearch summarized meta-analysis of reviews. After they were sold to about.com (NYT) it became 'stale' so I stopped using them. Just checked, it's still a decent site.
Here's the remains of the SL-1 nuclear reactor, an experimental unit which had a steam explosion and meltdown in 1961, with its marker.[1] It was at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho, located in the middle of nowhere, miles from the nearest other building, just in case. The SL-1 story is in Wikipedia.

The marker is probably from 2000, when large rocks were placed over the entire site. It already looks dated.

Yeah, you're a bit late to the crazy train when it comes to Adams. He's been an unrefined troll online for quite some time. He'll talk politics or other bullshit and then say it was all just a joke when he gets called on it.

I hope you don't also like Orson Scott Card...

I would disagree that the last ban for Milo was justified. I would say it's hardly justifiable (without proof) that he was leading an army of trolls to attack Leslie. The only reason Twitter responded so harshly was that it was against a celebrity and not an ordinary user. (Those kinds of attacks hit everyday users as well.. but nothing this public/drastic happens to them)
Nothing wrong with investing in a home. However, make sure you aren't putting all your eggs in one basket by not diversifying.

Having 100% of your net worth in your home is very risky and comparable to having 100% of your net worth in a single stock.
The only thing you're doing wrong is pointing out that you mentioned it two months ago. That's the last thing an organization faced with a problem wants to hear. What they want is for everyone to act like the problem was entirely unpredictable and have everyone make 'heroic efforts' to make the fix.
What's this have to do with owning? It's common to rent single family homes too. It's especially common in my part of the country because of the population here.
The resturant they're talking about is Burger Off, in Hove. They famously make you sign a disclaimer before you eat the burger. I've seen several people attempt it, and they've all regretted the decision.

Brighton also has an annual chilli festival. There's a chilli eating competition, and paramedics are often needed by the losers, sometimes the winners.

It's a bit stupid really, a bit like the teenage-boyish pursuit of unnecessarily strong marijuana, but whatever floats your boat I suppose.
Star Wars isn't interpreted as a cure though, which is where new age stuff can be borderline dangerous sometimes.

Apple Music is a logical continuation of the Beats Music store: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beats_Music. Mac Pro was released in 2006: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro

It's not clear if there's anything new in development at Apple.
There's at least some concession to the title in the third to the last paragraph:

But, hours or a day or so of very serious discomfort aside, there don’t seem to be long-term dangers, per se, in eating very hot peppers. Biologists have observed, however, that administering capsaicin over long periods of time in young mammals does result in the death of the pain neurons, Bryant says. Setting the neurons off repeatedly wears them out, and they don’t grow back.
It is very unlikely that you will find a title better than what you have. Legacy companies have these handcuffs that works for a while - but when you have to leave, you almost won't find a matching title (Very rare IMO). You should leave a contact info, if you want anyone to reach out to you personally.
Twitter bans or downgrades people for political reasons all the time. An example of twitter's pettiness; some time before they banned Breitbart's Milo for trolling, they removed the "verified" tag from his account. There is no sensible justification for this except that twitter was trying to hurt his credibility/give him a hard time. Regardless of what you think of Milo, that's just silly. Twitter is not at all conservative with (shadow)banning or other trickery. They'll even suppress trending tags that they don't agree with politically.
It's necessary given that the ACA restricts insurers for rejecting people for preexisting conditions. This only really works in a country where everyone has insurance. Otherwise, why not just hang around without insurance until you get really sick, then purchase insurance at that point? If this happens, it drastically distorts the insurance market and makes insurance even more affordable, because people who have insurance will be disproportionately sick.

It may seem like a tax on working people, but really, it is a payment for a very real benefit: a dramatic change in your personal healthcare risk. When you can purchase health insurance at any time even when you're unhealthy, you are essentially being granted an insurance policy for expensive, chronic conditions without even having to purchase anything.
I haven't read his book, but if anyone is curious on these experiments, you can read more on the following books (In fact, the article seems a mash of both of them):

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - The author mentions experiments where people exposed to more agressive or relaxed interactions can react differently and many other situations (similar to the money/cloud backgrounds examples).

How to Win Friends and Influence People - Describes interaction strategies to avoid conflicts and create trust (such as the letter example).
Twitter has been shadow banning a lot of pro-trump people lately.

For example Barack Obama's brother, Malik. His entire feed is basically Trump support and he was shadow banned the other day. I am happy that they have corrected the issue, they were called out hard for it.

Top open source launches on GitHub
Way back in the land before time, I acquired a number of old 486s and ISA NICs. Being a good Slashdot nerd, I of course thought "lets make a Beowulf cluster of these!"

So I've got the cluster set up, and it's mostly working. There's two nodes though that behave funny. Imagine my surprise when I try pinging one of them and get two responses per ping! Sure enough, two ISA NICs pulled randomly out of a box of garbage indeed had identical MACs. I learned a lot about IP and the MAC layer from that project!

Well, yeah.

Fredicksburg, Vicksburg, Sharpsburg (Antietam), Chancellorsville, Wilderness (Overland), Bull Run I & II (Manassas), Shiloh, Chickamauga, Appomattox... in no particular order ...but yeah you could spend your whole life just visiting the different sites and not see them all I reckon...
From the article--

let x = 'outer';

function test(inner) {

if (inner) {

let x = 'inner';

return x;

}

return x; // gets result from line 1 as expected

}

test(false); // outer

test(true); // inner

This makes it seem like let creates global variables. Why would you want to return a variable from outside the function? Doesn't that create massive overhead in terms of keeping track where variables are initially set? Easy to understand in this example, but what if let x = 'outer'; is defined at the top of a 5000 line script and this function appears near the bottom?

Edit: Turns out I don't know how to format code. This is in the first example of section 3.1 Block Scope Variables.
DNS cache poisoning is currently a very common sort of attack. The UDP-y nature of DNS makes it very easy. There are typically some severe limitations placed on the effectiveness of this attack by low TTLs. It does not require you to deny access to the authoritative server. This attack is also known as DNS spoofing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_spoofing

Ignoring TTLs in favor of your own policy means poisoned DNS caches can persist much longer and be much more dangerous.

> According to the Kaiser Family Foundation the average cost of the second lowest priced silver metal plan, also known as the benchmark plan that is used to set subsidies, will see its price increase 9 percent next year. That's significantly higher than the 2 percent increase for these plans this year, but it's south of the figures provided by Trump.

Best practice is to require your customer to set an initial password before they can even use the device. But to make something labial for missing a potential attack vector seems counterproductive.
Native objects in JavaScript are already immutable as in you can not change them, only create new objects. Const will not make your object immutable! Try this:

const foo = {bar: 1}
foo.bar = 2;

It will only avoid having the pointer re-pointed to another object. It's better to just try avoiding global variables, and use a naming convention like uppercase and/or underscore for constants and global variables.

Const is probably only meant for constants like the name suggests.

I think something like this is pretty safe from reassigning:

{
let foo = 1
...
}
...

If you want more control over your properties, you can use the ES5 feature "defineproperty" where you can set writeable: false
No, that's not it, because usually management doesn't give a shit about that. Even if you have the paper trail, they're still going to say, "Quit whining; it's 3 AM and stuff doesn't work. Fix it."

It's incredible that we've gone this deep into thread and subthread talking about aggregate economic benefits and not once mentioned families and children.

An amusing aside: As I understand it, a lot of rock bands use "drop" tuning, in which the guitars and electric bass are tuned down by a semitone or more. Explanations on web forums vary, but tend to revolve around the range of the typical male singer, as well as a preference for a more "heavy" sound.
When I was a kid, I sat across from a guy eating chips and salsa with sweat pouring down his face. I asked him if it was hot (pointing to the sause) and he snapped back, "No!".

[Posted on my blog](http://www.krisconstable.com/432-hz-vs-440-hz-conspiracy-the...)

While I appreciate Jakub’s breakdown for the reader to get to explaining why the 432 number itself is effectively fabricated for convenience, he eventually states: “_The 432 Hz tuning, the divine tuning of nature itself, is ultimately defined as one vibration per 21279240.2083 periods of radiation of an uncommon chemical element_” however he’s missing the critical argument.

What is missing from the argument is the irrelevance of the number. For example, if 432 Hz resonates with I don’t know, the neocortex, there is no relevance what the number is or that we’ve associated with what we humans currently call a time second — that’s just a standard way of identifying the number.

What needs to be done is validation or invalidation of this frequency in terms of “healing and soothing properties.” It’s also important to not do so defensively, otherwise you’re arguing against organized religion or Santa Claus or Unicorns — it’s a useless effort to argue against something that has no scientific evidence. If someone is making a claim without evidence in the first place, you’re arguing irrationally already and you’ve already lost. Reason requires logic.

“Here is my repeatable scientific evidence why I feel the world is flat” is different than “I have a feeling the reason the sky is blue is from unicorn tears — prove to me it’s not”.

It is my suggestion that if someone feels that 432 Hz has healing and soothing properties, they take this hypothesis and run it through the scientific method. It will be these published results that can be responded to, directly. A quick search on plosone doesn’t show that there’s any documented research in this area currently, a new opportunity for those interested.

We abdicated responsibility when management decided to stop giving us the time we said it was actually going to take.

I don't know about you, but if I'm not given what I need to do something, there is no way in hell I'm going to take responsibility for it.

EDIT: Not to mention that, if I do hold my ground and refuse to do something until I have what I need, the company is going to fire me and find someone who doesn't give a shit. And quite frankly, I like being able to buy food.

Gun users and car users are already liable in these cases.

In the case of IoT security, it's probably more realistic that we see manufacturers held liable. But
in my book owner liability would be fine exactly because it keeps ownership with the owner.

If some DDOS victim can show your camera was pinging them, then he can sue you for 1 cent per ping or something. It's only $200 in total, no big deal. But it will make you ask for more security on your next IoT purchase.
NZ/Aus is pretty special. Most analogous to USA/Canada

The original point was that Britain/France have the superficial differences that let us be friends (USA/Canada) yet we have some deeper differences and historical differences that let us be enemies (USA/Russia).

The nice part of it is that we can carrot and stick ourselves with one neighbour, instead of making our enemy the devil incarnate.
Awh I wish he'd shown a hacked implementation of slope X and how the bowling balls would have rolled the other way :)
Your points miss both the financial incentive to make things better for your own asset and long term incentive since oftentimes renting makes one more nomadic. Point by point:

- You might not garden w/ no equitable return on house value (or at least not build a large gardening setup), and landlords feel the same way in reverse (no benefit to them to do anything beyond the minimum once it's inhabited)

- Maintain != improve...BIG difference

- Except you may be more nomadic. Also you missed the GP's use of the word "stakeholder" of which you are considerably less of if you don't own land in the community

- I too don't understand this point...but I think the GP means "multi-family" as in apartments, thereby single-family (i.e. standalone house) is higher "premium" therefore you contribute more. Again, not sure here.
What about all the open source products out there with default passwords? Most distributions with ARM ports (Arch Linux Arm, Bananapian, etc.) have default passwords. At least Openwrt doesn't (it allows one-time telnet access to set a password, then disabled telnet and enables SSH), but should other oss devs be liable for this bad practice?

You might be like, "Well hobbies have to install those images on their hardware." Well what if those projects sold hardware on the side to raise funds? Or a 3rd party sold hardware+software bundles? Who in the chain is liable?
Starting Strength is a great book and program. While this post isn't necessarily indicative of the quality of the book, he does bring up some interesting points. His reasoning on the proliferation of corporate gyms using specialized equipment is intuitive but I wonder if there is any actual evidence versus marketing which I always assumed was the answer.

It does suck that it's such a pain in the ass to get basic barbell training equipment at a gym. I'd love to have my own rack or share one, but it would never work in apartment life.
All interesting, and perhaps accurate, except the very case mentioned, U.S. ability to influence opinion in the Middle East, is a good example of the limitations. I would not call our situation with regard to popular opinion in the Middle East in the last few years an unqualified success. Sometimes other things matter a lot more then your "pre-suasion". I think in a lot of cases these sorts of techniques get called in too late, and asked to do too much, to rescue a PR disaster.

A credit card in France is not the same as a credit card in the USA or Canada. In France, a purchase paid with a VISA/Mastercard is taken directly from your checkings bank account.

Yes it is called "carte de crédit" i.e. credit card but when you think about it, it is not actually credit.

In Canada, paying with VISA/Mastercard is considered as credit i.e. debt. You can pay with VISA even if at the present moment, you do not have the cash in your bank account. Banks, VISA and others like this because they will then be able to charge you 25 to 35% of the amount at the end of the month if you do not pay in time.

It does not matter then to compare average spending or number of transactions since it's two different meanings.
