You're correct that most of these are asking for prison to be a more tolerable place to live. Making prison a rough experience should encourage inmates to avoid crimes which will send them back. The article's author contends that the current conditions in the prison where he serves his time re-enforce criminal behavior and empowers "gang recruiters, extortion, and other threats" by depriving prisoners. He has the advantage of seeing what happens each day, but has a sample-size issue in that he's only experienced a small number of prisons. I would be interested in seeing his proposals tested in a controlled studies. None of them seems difficult or expensive to implement.
In general, there is a connection. The earth tides have an amplitude in the tens of centimeters [1] (yes, the earth moves under our feet!) and a connection to earthquakes is a given, since the stress changes on faults can trigger them. Here is one example: [2] Their research also indicates that a higher stress can trigger earthquakes not triggered by lower stress since the local fault strength must be exceeded.

I think you were in the right and didn't really assume as much as suggested. I got the same impression particularly because of the language chosen. "non-negotiable" implies that there was a second party to necessitate negotiation. Saying "no alternative" would come closer to describing a personal taste threshold.
Well, that's animal fat. Which is his complaint that this will still require raising cows.
For context there was about 2mins of shaking :)

The longest quake I've ever felt too. Some seismologists are speculating that it might actually have been two distinct quakes happening at roughly the same time.
>There was a lot of money spent on remediating and testing computer systems during the 90's.

Yes I know. I was part of one such remediation project for a large client for a while, though not directly involved.

> Not surprising that the effect was low.

It was known that the fixes done would work. The concern was about steps possibly not taken in some random systems like hardware or infrastructure ones.
Stay safe and good luck.
haha, all right. Hey if I get killed for going to some dictatorship on my own and not belonging to the intelligence community but somebody thinks I am, I'll have that on my tombstone, and it'll be your fault, ya jerk. :)
I could see another angle in the meantime, which is exotic lab grown meats. I'd be interested in trying bald eagle meat or polar bear or any number of animal meats where it's either illegal or impractical to culture full animals.

Presumably you can also make meats that scale disproportionately with the size of the animal, like sparrow burger or lobster steak.
That's perhaps one of the best smokescreens that has been pulled on the American people in recent times. The president has very little say in domestic affairs. On the other hand, thanks to various congressional outcomes, he can use the nation's military might abroad with virtual impunity.
Bernie Sanders currently has the highest approval rating of any member of congress. He's by all rights the most popular member of the entire American government. People respect him from the left and right. I know many republicans who would vote for him. I all green party votes would've gone to Bernie (Jill said herself if he won the green party wouldn't throw a candidate in the race).

Many votes for the Libertarian party would've also gone to Bernie Sanders. Then a lot of the Trump supporters are actually bernie supporters who feel like the DNC betrayed us by sabotaging the whole thing.. There's a LOT of hate and anger in the democratic party right now.

On facebook I see a shitstorm of anger from Clinton supporters against Bernie supporters blaming US for her loss as if WE are responsible for her being a shitty politician. As if it's not HER responsibility to WIN our votes and CONVINCE us she's the best candidate. She obviously couldn't do that.

So, yes Bernie definitely had a good chance of winning. He also was polling about 10 points above Clinton against Trump in most states. He also won Michigan AND Wisconsin which Trump carried.

Funnily enough, this list of characteristics doesn't even map completely to Hitler's Germany. They were very gender progressive for the time.

Regarding "Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.", surely the author hasn't seen any other societies from the times of notable fascist regimes, they might realize that anti-abortion and anti-homosexual legislation were prettymuch everywhere. Until fewer than 50 years ago, both were completely illegal in Canada.

As for it aligning "well" with the president elect; I don't think that's accurate. "Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause" is off the table, since the unifying cause is "making america great again" and the stated avenues are "enforce immigration law", "reduce taxes for commoners, and simplify the tax code", and "maintain government infrastructure". As for "Corporate Power is Protected" he's got the fewest corporate sponsors of any candidate we've seen in quite a while, so it's hard to imagine who he owes. The rest of the points are largely questionable, and the descriptions largely sound like the ravings of a tween marxist.

Seems like it's just mostly bollocks, and some salty HNer just wanted to insinuate something.
I think (as non-american) that the best you can do is to try to convince your American friends (you may have to acquire them first) that the idea of the prison is not a punishment but isolation of the danger and reconditioning to the return back into the society.

My understanding is that the last one can not happen in open prisons but only in solitary confinement where a single prisoner does not have any contact with other prisoners but still has constant concealing by professionals and does have other conditions to maintain its decency.
Why are telecommunication services a natural monopoly?
I've seen the movie. It is the best--and most realistic--"first contact" movie I've ever seen. I have nits to pick with some of the details, but they're minor. You're specific complaint is a valid one, but is (I believe) satisfactorily explained in the movie.
Thanks. We plan to use a remote hands service to install new servers.

> Our governments make extensive plans to deal with these situations.

I have a decent trust that these plans are appropriate and sufficient, and that if I needed to make my own preparations, I'd be aware of it.

"In the European Union, according to Council Directive 68/414/EEC of 20 December 1968, all 28 member states are required to have a strategic petroleum reserve within the territory of the E.U. equal to at least 90 days of average domestic consumption"

Some government sites in Britain suggest an emergency "grab bag", but the contents is minimal compared to the American versions -- some cereal and chocolate bars, for example [2].

People buy diamonds for a lot of the same 'irrational' reasons they believe in religion. Brainwashing. Girls have it pounded into their head over and over all their lives that this diamond is a MUST so they never think with their own brains about it. 99% of people would never spend $10K on a single piece of jewlery, if it was logic and reason, as opposed to pure brainwashing, that was governing their decisions. So actually it's a very sad aspect that I hate about humanity. Susceptibility to being brainwashed and the need to fit in, and the fear of not fitting in. All the above are mental disorders. And by the way just because "everyone is doing it" doesn't mean it's not a mental disorder. It is.
And yet this is a fact, because otherwise hardly anyone would be in prison. It seems you're confused about this.

A hint: lot of the "incredibly stupid" things are being done in the heat of the moment. Other times, people don't really imagine something bad could happen to them. Then, sometimes people think they have no other choice - maybe they're "in too deep", or maybe it's the only way they can think of supporting their family, etc. Sometimes people just take a huge risk for potential huge gains (think of it as criminal world equivalent of starting a startup).

Humans are not perfect reasoning machines with infinite computation speed.
This "complexity hole" is a problem they've encountered before with the Pentium 4 line of chips. They ended up being too complicated and too costly to produce, so they had to scrap it and go back to the Pentium III design and iterate from there.

I wonder if they'll ever have to back-track even further and use an ARM core but add on an x86-64 mode via microcode.
wow author really reaching here.. How's the no vacancy sign any different than the Open/Close sign at the front of every business front?

"First, some quick historical context. It’s not clear who came up with the ingeniously simple pairing of “Vacancy” and “No Vacancy,” which allows the motel operator to simply toggle the “No” on or off, but it was probably sometime in the 1930s or before. "
Indeed with metal you have less flexibility and much higher engineering costs that offset your savings. We think metal will be more affordable as we scale but that is not the reason for doing it. We do it because it is the only way to scale Ceph.
With zero knowledge on the subject my guess would be that they've focused on the protein structure and not the fat structures in their efforts. I suspect there are a lot of similarly shaped fat structures that taste differently which makes it seem like a similar but different problem.

In short, my guess would be that they need to focus on that after they solve this problem. The value of the meat is probably higher than that of the fat though so the ordering makes sense.
Yes, that is the exact kind of ritualistic barbarianism that modern societies should be avoiding. There's nearly endless better ways to have that money spent, even before you get to the "blood" part of blood diamonds.
Redacted: I think that you poor soul have to do a lot of soul searching to find out what is wrong with you and the world around you.
This is powerful metaphor for me. Before cell phones you were truly disconnected from life if you took a road trip.

Primitive technology like this and talking to people was the only way to really find out about your surroundings.

You were pretty isolated.
I agree with much of what you said, but this:

> "log in", "login"?

Is a bad example, because these two have taken on two slightly different meanings: the spaced version is the verb, and the single word version is the noun.

You can with Cordova. I've worked on several hybrid apps in recent years that took advantage of native features through a thin native wrapper.

But there are a lot of apps that don't need those features at all, and those apps are a great fit for PWAs.
480p is as good as the best pre-HD analog TV, or standard DVDs, and better than VHS which everyone was happy to use back in the day. And certainly fine for most things on a screen as small as a mobile device. I don't really see what there is to complain about, especially as it's optional.

I'd gladly trade higher bandwidth costs, pixelation, freezing and skipping HD video for smooth 480p for most things.
>(Never mind that I'm perfectly content to put my tent up if I don't find a room.)

Knowing, abstractly, that doing X can result in Y punishment, and having internalized it to the point that you think of this fact as a deterrent when you're considering whether to do X, are not the same thing.

It's similar to (but not the same, I think, as) the difference between not doing X because you've been told Y will happen, and not doing X because you have memories of doing X and Y happening - the latter is a lot more deeply ingrained.

Consider newly-minted adults in prosperous environments leaving their parents' home for college for the first time - they have a theoretical knowledge of the various stresses, risks, and concerns that will arise when they live on their own, but until they've actually done it for a while and had various mishaps, it won't be nearly as well-calibrated and digested into their thinking.

Or consider the uptick of music piracy when the internet was just becoming ubiquitous - people knew, abstractly, that it was theft, and could carry consequences, but that didn't enter into most of their considerations.

Yes, or human.
Thanks for the links, was not aware of either.

> I have a decent trust that these plans are appropriate and sufficient

I am not so trusting. I think the failure of western financial regulations in 2008 is a decent example of how sheer complexity shatters existing safeguards. I am sure they have done their best to account for these sort of scenarios, but the real world is far more complex than a model. I do see where you are coming from though.
I have to recommend rescinding this comment, despite how much I can understand it.
Ownership of the frequency bands.

Maybe I was down voted because my comment was too brief. In the U.S. companies bid on and purchase wireless spectrum which they then own in perpetuity.
Back in the days, Slashdot had a discussion on alternative materials for wedding rings.

I cannot for the life of me remember suggestions, but the community came up with quite a few creative and meaningful materials that could make beautiful rings.
I agree there are benefits as well. But regarding the quality, I have a 4K mobile screen (Sony Xperia Z5 Premium). For others, full HD is practically the norm for higher end phones now. 480p is noticeably worse in some applications, e.g. screencasting.

Many people who understand the consequences end up in jail. Are you saying they deserve the inhuman treatment because they knew about it?
That's the really annoying thing: there's no really good reason cities can't build more decent housing in high-rises. I suspect the problem is bad zoning laws and developers able to make more profit doing other things. Ideally, cities should be able to get developers to build lots of high-rises with moderately-priced condos and apartments, to pack more people in, which would also increase the efficiency of public transit. And these units should have a decent amount of space, by building up, so families can have a reasonable amount of living space. They just need to take action to clear out older, smaller buildings taking up valuable space (probably with punitive property taxes), and encourage development of high-rises (with property taxes which punish buildings that are too small).
Compared to the wedding, 500 dollars is nothing.
How do you know that's true? There's no shortage of mo/hotels, and you can just try another one down the street if you don't like the price. Last time I took a road trip, the room prices were all very cheap, and I didn't book ahead. I was surprised at how cheap it was.

Going the no-diamond route is also a way to test the relationship. The more she expects a diamond, the better the test works.

While you wait for Delphi 1, note that you can already obtain Microsoft's 16-bit Visual C++ compiler and linker at no cost (the same does not apply to 16-bit Visual Basic) and that Open Watcom has been released under an OSI-approved, if weird, license.

Yeah, this was never a secret. The myth of Narcissus has him trapped by his own reflection in a pool of water.

Household mirrors go way back, although the quality of the reflection you could get was well below where it is now.

That's what I just said.
I know that's the argument for various people, I just wondered whether that was the case for their spouse, since synthetic is definitely a real diamond, albeit not one that took centuries to grow.

Purple from the anger that her boyfriend doesn't love her enough to drop their own personal beliefs, and get that damned rock.

For girls, it's not personal, it'd social. If her "friends" are such that they will look down on her if she didn't get a rock, she will insist on one. As a man, you must understand this.
> P.S. Fayum portraits that I mentioned where of all people, rich and poor.

From your own link:

> The patrons of the portraits apparently belonged to the affluent upper class of military personnel, civil servants and religious dignitaries. Not everyone could afford a mummy portrait; many mummies were found without one. Flinders Petrie states that only one or two per cent of the mummies he excavated were embellished with portraits.
This is a neat idea, but I'd recommend starting on an altnerative. Pick an open source project and modify its behavior. It will serve as a code style corpus to guide the process, and it's already a polished product, so you don't have to get into the nitty gritty of the last 20%.

For a more concrete example, I learned php by creating a phpbb instance for my friends and then making addons/changing how it worked. The ratio of work done to results accomplished was high.

It's also very valuable to learn how codebases might be laid out and how to just find the parts you want.
Regarding 1 media.autoplay.enabled=false does the trick in Firefox about:config.
In fairness, this one is actually interesting, in the way that Monero and Ethereum (and perhaps Ripple and Stellar) were also interesting, and 99% of the other alt-coins are not. That doesn't mean it's a good idea or will be successful or profitable, but it's at least interesting.
GOLD: Risk Remains Lower on Additional Bear Pressure
I didn't mean that De Beers is actually lasing neurons in womens' brains. But they shaped the culture around western wedding rituals by a century's worth of heavy marketing.

> If you need to be angry about something, be angry about our education system which fails to teach people to think critically about what they see on their glowing god-screens.

I would cut the education system some slack here. Advertising isn't a physical constant - it's a dynamic, optimized product of other humans. Smart humans who weaponize psychological and sociological research to maximize the impact of marketing techniques. An individual doesn't stand much of a chance against it by the very virtue of how professional specialization works. Even if people all suddenly became perfect critical thinkers, advertising industry would focus on exploiting some other weak spots.

> By doing so, you're ignoring her agency

A tangent, but I'm increasingly believing that individuals have much less agency than it is generally believed. We all strongly respond to incentives, especially in areas that strongly matter to our lives.
I like putty... It suffices for my needs
I have to agree that it's not a great sign if she insists on this. What other trendy stuff is she going to demand just because "everyone else does it"?

I'm somewhat recently divorced now, but one good thing about my ex is that she was never superficial like this. She was perfectly happy to get a $70 Titanium wedding band, and loved how lightweight it was, and never wanted a silly gemstone on her hand. We did get her a couple other rings with gemstones (much cheaper ones, and prettier too; I think one was Tanzanite?), for wearing at special occasions, but wearing a gemstone ring every day is impractical and dumb really; it's just going to get in your way, and worse it's easy to take it off and then lose it. I knew a guy once whose wife dropped her $10k diamond ring down the drain while doing dishes! (No, they didn't recover it.)
As an aside this type of thing gets me throttled pulling down 500MB+ git repos. Not T-Mobile specifically but Clear.

Went with a lab grown diamond from Brilliant Earth and my (now) wife was ecstatic that she didn't have to feel any gilt over the stone or feeling pressure from friends trying to explain why she went with an alternative. We were both extremely happy with the ring.
This is getting into absurd levels of hypotheticals so I'm tapping out.
Human fat. Just build the meat lab next to a liposuction clinic. Problem solved.

In fact, if you build a burger joint there as well, you've got a perfect Fat Cycle. People can go to the clinic to get their flab hoovered off, then head into the restaurant and eat it all back in burger form.
