> it's weird to complain or sue every time that the government doesn't make something you wanted. Because in few years people have the power to elect another set of representatives.

You're correct if the government rules/laws are all made by the representatives. But a substantial amount of regulation is established or defined in detail by non-elected government employees. So, in many cases, waiting for a change in representatives won't change the status quo. This is in large part due to Congress abdicating their rule-making role and handing it to the executive branch. Sure, electing the "right" set of congresspeople should fix that, but it hasn't, and it's been on a downward trend of the past decade or two?

One example is the NSA surveillance. You should be able to sue the government to stop it if you think it's unconstitutional. We've now 2 congressional elections since the first Snowden revelations and congress still seems to be generally in support of the surveillance. So citizens need another avenue to protect themselves from laws and regulations which they feel to violate their rights.

Agreed. Only stupid if theres no demand. And simply offering in itself is better than not. In a sense, this book can be viewed from the context of history.

I saw the headline and went to Gruber's site curious how he will vindicate for Apple. He argues that it might be intended as learning material for design students or as a collectible art piece. I think that's fair enough, even though it doesn't convince me entirely.

I see the release of the book and the pricing decision in context of Apple's latest product and pricing decisions and it reinforces my sentiment that Apple is becoming more of a luxury than a quality brand.

I've lived in America, Canada, Europe and around the world for many years.

His position that 'everyone thinks he's a Russian terrorist' is false and bigoted towards Americans, who are by and large, very good people.

There is no place in America wherein a man with an East-European Slavic accent will be 'assumed to be a Russian terrorist' by almost anyone.

This man is very clearly down on his luck, has problems with skills and sociability - and it's a sad story. No doubt his 'thick accent' may add to his woes, but to suggest that 'everyone think's he's a Russian Terrorist' is unfair on his part.

I mean yes, sure, I realize the author blames himself for the death of that poor girl. But how could he possibly have known? It's neither his job nor his responsibility to know anything about the side effects of this drug. His job was to built a website, according to the wishes of his employer. And so he did.

> There's actual academic research describing git's problems here, for crying out loud.

And interestingly, all the academic research talks about is the high level UI. Not the underlying data model.

/That/ is the mystery to me. I don't see a reason why a better UX around the same underlying data model, talking to the same server (and thus interacting natively with e.g. github) hasn't picked up.

Heck, one could implement mercurial's UX on top of the git data model. In fact, that even has been prototyped. I can't find the repository anymore, but iirc it was somewhere on bitbucket.

Not sure if your comment's implying it's a random number picked for amusement? That figure (2.7 years) seems about right to me -- the frequency of a blue moon is necessarily the same as the frequency that a lunisolar calendar has to add a leap month, which is every 2 or 3 years. I don't see any reason to doubt Google's number.

Your argument sounds like a false dichotomy to me. We can have drugs with potentially bad side effects and make efforts to make sure they're not incorrectly prescribed.
Why do you need to keep current on multiple languages? Is it to keep you still marketable so you can leave? Or just a bragging right for yourself?

Why not specialize in one or two languages... become a leader and specialist and not a generalist.

If he hadn't coded it, someone else would have. The most effective way to change the world, in my opinion, is to push for political and social changes that change incentives in a manner that reduces the number of unethical economic niches that exist. Sacrificing your own employment opportunities out of principle has next to no effect on the larger picture, and if anything, will reduce your own ability to shape things in a positive direction in the future.

For me it failed hard... chrome (the browser I use) kept freezing with 100% CPU use :/

The single time it worked without freezing it nailed correctly what I drew though :)

EDIT: tried again

performance still bad... but I saw one interesting, it requested me to draw a Knee, and... failed to recognize it.

Except after it ended and I went to see other people drawings, mine was identical, but flipped! I guess because I am left-handed or something like that...

Still, it is funny that it failed hard to recognize a flipped drawing.

As for the explanation: everyone drew a leg, seen from the side, slightly bent (me included). But I drew like this ">" while everyone else drew like this "<"

EDIT 2: someone asked me why it is not in portuguese :(

I wouldn't, and I'd tried using Mercurial for my personal random projects for a while. I gave up not because hg is inferior, but because when python, the language hg's written in, chose to migrate from hg to git, the war was truly over and lost.

At the end of the day, a VCS is just a tool, one of many that I need to learn and use to do my job, and it's not worth the effort to learn both git and hg.

Somewhat related anecdote: years ago I decided to learn Dvorak, but eventually switched back, because by the time I'd become proficient, my ability to type in QWERTY's completely gone. From what I'd read online at the time this was unusual: most people who learned Dvorak could switch back (& forth) within a few seconds to a few minutes. It took me probably a week or two to be able to touch type in QWERTY again, and maybe a month to get back to my original speed. And by then it was as if I'd never learned Dvorak at all.

Anyway, the point of the story is: maybe I just have shit memory :-)

When taken out of context, that would be true. That's however not the case in the original full text. See getoj's sibling reply. It would be clearer if there were a comma between それぞれ and 夫, though, but I don't know if that's my French bias wanting punctuation or if that would be "idiomatic".

Those are all good points, but the top ones are:

A) The fashionable design of the glasses, which are a cross between 'very contemporary cool design' with a hint of 'tokyo bubble gum plastic irreverence'

B) Aesthetically and functionally perfectly and seamlessly consistent with their brand, and their product experience.

C) When you say 'geographic clustering' - the more important point is where. Santa Monica, Big Sur. 'Cool Kid venues'. No t downtown LA or Orange County.

D) The 'scarcity' ... because there are so very few glasses being sold right now, I don't think it's an economic issue so much, although that applies - right now, the 'popup' store is a brilliant PR move. Every day, there'll be a huge buzz over where it is, and the kids getting them will proudly wear them to school, brag about them, creating all sorts of local buzz.

Snapchat is acting like Nike or Starbucks, and not a tech company, which is very smart of them.

Funny they are in LA - there are almost zero Valley companies outside of apple that know how to do proper consumer marketing.

You can't judge a man's principles by how he acts when he's in a position of strength

If someone in a position of power uses that power poorly, it's probably okay to judge their principles based on those actions.

Here's an alternate take: don't reward a business for taking any stand for a short period of time. Businesses are prone to convenience in their actions. I don't feel betrayed by Twitter doing this because it is utterly predictable.

Are those dosages a fair comparison (ibuprofen 600x3, celecoxib 100x2, and naproxen 375x2 daily)? Do they each provide the same level of pain reduction?

If not, there is literally no way to compensate for that level of statistical bias. Stomach/kidney/heart damage is not linear, and there's no mention of when people gave up taking the medications.

For someone who actually wants to read the study, here's the link: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1611593#t=article

tl;dr - they admit that taking more than 200mg of celecoxib does some damage, and 800mg doses (they apparently were limited by regulations to 200mg/day) showed the same heart damage they expected to see. Time magazine is a horrible source

New Ransoc extortionists hunt for actual child abuse material
My take on this: If someone reads garbage advertisement information on a random website and takes this medication solely because of that, they fail to do the most basic thinking and scrutiny. The gene pool won't miss these people. I know, it's harsh and cynical, but it's the truth (oh boy, this opinion will be unpopular, I already feel it in my bones). If everyone had to take responsibility for such thoughtless behaviour of other people, we couldn't do anything anymore.

However, I do see major moral implications of writing code for things like cars, rockets, robots, pacemakers, etc. This is where the true responsibility of software engineers lies.
I also like the approach of Polly Higgins, who is trying to make the Earth a legal entity with her own fundamental rights, which can be defended in a court of law [1].

good read. and kudos for coming out and opening the subject.

i personally think this is not just a developer issue, but affects every person living in a society. the quality of the society we live in depends on all of us doing as much as we can to achieve it. unfortunately, the living today is too precarious, and too many people cannot afford to be too ethical.

the sad thing about our industry to me is that sometimes it seems we give up before putting up any fight. we know how hard it is to control complex systems, how impossible it is to create a perfect system. so a lot of us decide, like that fox in Aesop's fable, that it's actually wrong to even try to do anything. if she can't reach the grapes, then the grapes must be sour. this happens everywhere, but it strikes me in IT particularly if you look at a simple example - most IT people find it obvious, and live with it, that everything we do online is recorded and that it's not that hard to spy on anyone. most regular people don't fully grasp this, and get occasionally outraged. how many of us (i count myself in here) will then just wave their concerns away, and explain that they simply have no choice but to accept this future?
Beside the smiley face?
I'd say this is one of the greatest challenges journalists face: Sometimes you talk to a lot of people and do a lot of research only to find out there is no story.

"Smartphone usage increase while driving has caused more accidents" is a nice narrative that totally _makes sense_, but unfortunately only becomes newsworthy if there is evidence that the reporter can find-- perhaps from highway patrols and police officers, mobile data usage stats, or I suppose anecdotally from someone who studies this stuff.

But sometimes that's not available, or it is and goes against the original narrative. At that point the reporter can either choose to tell their editor that there is no story, or go out seeking confirmation of the original narrative.
