I guess those who are

1. new to the internet
2. Do not know many long time internet users

Are good targets for these scammers. There all over the place in dating apps... either the dating app's own inside scammers or the worst kind like this one.

Maybe there should be a quiz before you are allowed on the internet that's schools you on if a hot young chick is crazy eager for you but you never met and she's lives far away well then....ummmm.....
Yes but anyone in that locality can flag such posts.
Sadly they focussed on the beautiful GUI above upgradability of the debs. It lags behind actual Ubuntu by at least one Long Term Release (possibly 2 by now if they still haven't upgraded from 2012) and I've found it a pain to work with beyond the initial "wow this is pretty for Linux".

(I actually ended up using XFCE and then AwesomeWM, so maybe I'm not the market for Elementary!)

EDIT: just checked and their newest release, Loki, is based on Ubuntu's 2016 LTS. I'll be taking another look at it this evening!
That's a good question. Probably not in Maine. We like to do things our own way. I'm a transplant and if I learned anything, it's that Mainers really resent outside interests telling us how we should do things. I'm surprised they allow me to vote :)

I think there's some out of state money coming in on our Question 3 (background checks for person to person firearm transfers), in support of Yes. I don't think it has much of a chance of passing, most people I've talked to are sitting here thinking we have the 3rd lowest crime rate in the US, and we have bigger problems that actually need solving (opioid crisis, lack of white collar jobs, etc). Others are skeptical that it's a broadly drafted (some say poorly drafted) measure to pretext more searches.

Laid off isn't the same as fired. I've had to lay off people a number of times. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's really not. Depends on the person and circumstances. Just because it's usually worse for the person being laid off doesn't mean that it's not unpleasant for the rest of the people involved.

BTW I have also been laid off. Worked out really, really well for me as I was given a chunk of cash, paid leave and walked into another job. I obviously realise I was in a very privileged position but I just wanted to point out these things are rarely black and white.

That's why I made the Thomas Kinkade reference above - basically Kinkade charged a high premium for "hand painted" works that were for the most part mass produced but touched up by a human in some places. Thus it wasn't really a true painting, but not a simple print either.

From an artistic market standpoint, both the Kinkade "hand painted" works and any work from Instapaint will have an inherent value of barely anything. Maybe $5, $2.50 at a garage sale. Thus this business opportunity, Instapaint, is a very intelligent way to take nothing of intrinsic artistic value - a family portrait - and create a demand whereby there is a worthwhile profit margin.

Art is a high "perception value" type of gambit. Instapaint is successful in its avenue, I can see that and appreciate it for what it's worth. Customers feel like they're getting a good deal, so hey, who am I to tell them what they're paying for is really worthless in the long run? That's sort of the lesson within Thomas Kinkade's success though. That dude cleaned up before his less-appealing business practices and habits eventually caught up with him. There's a line between satisfying a market and kind of becoming a shady operation. Kinkade's model absolutely proved demand for a "hand painted" type of thing.

Actually, git checkout makes perfect sense if you have the git mental model: git checkout makes your index and working copy equivalent to something in the repository. By default, that thing is HEAD, but it can be some other branch if you desire. Checking out a clean copy of a file from the current branch is just a special case of checking out clean copies of files from some other branch.

> Wow, I really struck a nerve here, eh?

I suppose you did, yes :-) Homebrewer here.

> Alright, beer is great, we must all do our part! ;-)

That's the spirit ;-)

> I've drunk plenty of beer and it all tastes bad.

Fair enough, I know a few people who don't like the taste.

> I'm not inexperienced.

Respectfully, assuming all other persons' motivations to be identical to your own makes you appear inexperienced not in matters of alcohol, but rather in (I'm struggling to find a good expression here -- I hope you get my meaning) how the world works.

> I much prefer the flavour of fruit juice.

Fine by me. I like it too.

> I really do think there's a huge social pressure to get to like beer.

Perhaps. I can't comment on American culture.

Certainly among adolescents in Germany there is some peer pressure WRT alcohol, including beer of course. After a while people tend to emancipate themselves from it though. I have a few friends who dislike alcohol. Nobody cares.

> I don't think anybody likes beer the first time they try it.

I didn't like it, that's for sure.

> What is a popular bitter beverage or food that has no other side effects?

I usually try not to feel side effects from beer. I dislike being drunk. I still like drinking beer though.

Apart from that: Brussel sprouts (ok, popularity is debatable ;-) ).
Artichokes.
Endive/Chicory.
There are also other very bitter vegetables whose name I don't know that are quite popular in Asia; I'd have to ask my wife for the name. They have no effects other than taste that I'm aware of. They were definitely an acquired taste for me, but now I really like them.

Perhaps you just don't like bitter taste. Obviously there's nothing wrong with that.
Somewhere a VC is nodding enthusiastically.
Sure, but when programinng, what the machine does and how long it takes, sometimes does matter. I have to think of all those jQuery examples floating about out there that just do $('#foo') in several places -- sure, it looks simpler than putting it once into a variable, but from the viewpoint of what the computer ends up doing it's utterly ass-backwards.

Social Media Marketing Sucks – How to Overcome Mental Breakdown
Reading through the article, and having no way to comment there, I'll comment here:

> It is true that both painters and programmers make things, just like a pastry chef makes a wedding cake, or a chicken makes an egg. But nothing about what they make, the purposes it serves, or how they go about doing it is in any way similar.

This misses the mark almost entirely, from my understanding. Hackers and painters CREATE something -- it does not exist and then it does. The wording Paul Graham uses is "makers", but it's not what I feel so maybe that is the criticism being expressed in this part of the article ?

The purpose of artists who paint and hackers /IS/ the same -- to create. To get what is inside of you out. To have the expression which has no form to take form and be in the world as something that can be shared with another soul. The methods are the same -- extract what is inside of you into concrete form, mold it, remove the bits that are not right, add more bits, move the bits around.

Certainly this is not true of computer programmers, which the article refers to hackers as but this is a failure of the article not of the original comparison. Nor is it true of all painters, since the word is too generic, which is a failure of Paul Graham's choice of wording for this comparison since based on the rest of the reading that is what he is referring to.

Computer programmers program computers, perhaps soullessly.

Painters paint things, perhaps soullessly.

Hackers hack because they need to.

Artists that paint paint because they need to.

As to the rest, I don't know if Paul Graham's intention was to attempt to borrow "coolness" from artists, but for me it is not. It's an attempt to explain why one must hack and why that is an identity and not an activity or a profession.

Or alternatively, don't worry about it? I'm pretty sure the problem in general is too many unsolicited pictures (see Chatroulette). I'm having a hard time imagining the actual threat. It sounds embarrassing, like forgetting to wear clothes and getting stuck in public. Except, hopefully, you don't have friends and relatives that accept and share nudes of you, especially from strangers.

Well that's part of the challenge, isn't it? What constitutes abuse?

The GP doesn't say that they're going to be a moderator, BTW. They might be a developer who would be building features that would allow each user to better determine for themselves how to manage abuse. Or tooling that would allow moderators to do a better job of managing abuse complaints.

The native feature set is pretty simple right now. A lot of people use Tweetbot for its temporary mute feature, which is not native to Twitter.

I have a desktop at home with both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04. The default boot option is Windows. The machine is about eight years old.

By now Windows has become unbearably slow, so the rest of my family (wife, 7 year old, 2 year old) all always choose Ubuntu, and they have no complaints.

Of course, everything they do happens in a browser, but that's probably true for a lot of people.
This is interesting for me as I am just in process to try how it would be to jump to linux. I did it several times before, didn't work. I run it in parallels on imac. I use i3wm and I am happy with that.

Issue in the past was that it would take too long time to get it to work and configure properly and you constantly have to fiddle with it.

This time, I managed to install good fonts, and as I am using barebones windows manager, there is very little that can be off. Yet, I had Firefox, which for a change was not super slow, get stuck twice, so I had to logout. I think that is the issue when Firefox can get so confused to be stuck.

I wish I had more space on my desk, so I can have a dedicated machine and work on it.

Oh yes, I like playing games, while not all are ported to linux, sufficient number is. So, that part is fine.

As long as Twitter's business model is based on revenue growth, you will be interfered whenever your anti-abuse efforts mean interrupting the user growth. All those alt-right bots that popped up during the US election add up nicely to the amount of active users, which result in more advertising revenue. Take that in account and check if your ethics align with that.

This is Goldman Sachs. I can tell you with certainty those 20 people were not part of a union.

The real number is also not 500. It's closer to +1000. Many layoffs at places like Goldman are handled in a way that they do not appear to be a layoff to outsiders nor are they disclosed in that way.

The coffee shop comment was a bit of sarcasm but who do you think is getting laid off here? Millionaire VPs? MDs? Goldman is struggling to hire and keep younger managers right now.
Tacoma Narrows Bridge
I didn't know that was common sense but it's something I have personally experienced.

I joined the IT team at a major food industry, and I would look at the office floor and people would point me to those who also had just joined.

Things started to go sour an year later (cash related), and people slowly started to leave. On my last day, I looked at the office space again and something seemed interesting: everybody working had been at that company for 3+ years. All the newcomers had left. I mentioned this to a couple of people and asked them "do you see anyone here that has joined in the last 2-3 years?" and the answer was "Crap, no".

So it's not only management letting go of the last hires, but these hires also leaving (more of that, I suppose).
The Art Institute of Chicago is great. Not sure if OP is from Chicago, though—the other museum they named is the Met Museum in New York. I visited both this summer (and also the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.), and they're all truly fascinating. I could spend several days in each ;)

I've been using Linux since high school (late 20 here) and i cannot imagine going back to windows. I'm always surprised when a fellow programmer says they use windows at home.

I couldn't live without command prompt. I love updating everything with one move. Now you can even use Steam on linux.
Some apps are lacking, but most people don't edit videos or play with Photoshop. Especially now, since most of the desktop usage is internet and web browser, i see no reason to stick with Windows.

But mostly, i just like being in control. Using some perl i can automate almost any menial task.

My day job is not related to containers, but yes, working in the industry has of course biased me (but my opinions are still my own).
I founded an anonymous social media platform in the past. It can be a real pain because once identity/accountability is removed, people tend to act very poorly. On paper, I like your idea of helping people to form risk-free connections, but it is very possible for your platform to spin out of your control. The small radius location nature of your app will likely mean a lot of negative press and/or police inquiries about stalking, harassment, threats, bulling, maybe even rape or murder in the extreme.

Not trying to be negative; I know your intentions are good, but be please be prepared. When the police call you in the middle of the night, and they will, make sure you can provide whatever information you can to identify the users. I am actually surprised you would be able to get into the Apple store without being able to do so.

http://kbhat.rocks is my landing page. Rather than dump all my info on this page, it links to my blog and other things I'd like to share.

I got this up after getting my job offer in place, but for now I'm happy with it. One thing that's missing is my resume, but for me that's application-specific and I'd rather have people ask for it than display a fixed version.

Spam bots have added me on Skype before and I've occasionally tested out how they respond to certain things. Usually nothing interesting but if you mention calling the police they say this (copied from a log):

"hahaha! call em! and tell them you are reporting a felony... YOUR HAIRSTYLE!! You might wanna get that looked at!"

All the bots I tried it on did that same thing, so apparently they're all from the same software, and maybe even the same organization.

I am a Linux desktop user. I use Slackware 14.2 on my current workstation (an Apple MacBookPro11,3 according to "dmidecode) and my first Linux desktop was Slackware 3.3.0 (on a 486DX2/50 Packard Bell). Additionally I used HP-UX on a Visualize C3000 and Solaris on a SPARCStation 20 as my workstation for periods of time.

The title is still misleading.

While what they ended up doing is definitely worse, I wouldn't see them "taking it lightly" as natural too. After all, they've put the life of many in danger.
