> Your friend has developed a bias because they're constantly around people who have been (or at least claim to be) wronged by the police.

Absolutely. Which is why I am glad he pointed these risks out to me - no one else who is unbiased does or is even aware of the worst-case outcomes. If there is a way to resolve a situation without calling the police, why would you take the risk?

Another thing my friend likes to do is post news reports of police abuse to social media. One of these is very relevant to the original post. In 2013 a father called the police on his son, after the latter drove off in the father's automobile without permission, to "teach him a lesson." The police response was to murder his son: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tyler-comstock-killing-iowa-poli...

Threatening your kids, family, neighbors etc with the police is not only distasteful but can end up in tragedy.
This is great. My wife has meniere's disease, so we need to protect her hearing in all moderately loud situations, (bars, music venues, movies). In advance of SXSW one year, I bought her a pair of these: http://amzn.to/2gK8qZv

"Musician's earplugs", so-to-speak, they attenuate all frequencies more evenly than standard foam plugs would. In effect just turning down the volume of the world a bit, not muffling it.

I don't have meniere's, but do get drained by bars and loud music. I hate to seem lame by wanting to leave a party/bar early, so I bought a pair for myself recently. They're just fantastic. Highly recommend.

I blogged recently about some problems I have with JIRA:

http://www.storytotell.org/constraints-and-semantics/

In a nutshell, I argue that the problem with most ticket systems is that they do not constrain the domain enough, so they wind up having similar problems to email (sifting through a chronologically-ordered pile of text rather than structured, semantically-ordered information).

Your comments make me think the crux of the problem is that people want tickets to be like email and use email to manage them. I'm not sure you can ever overcome the "chronological pile-up" problem if you allow email as a user interface to ticketing.

You don't need a degree. It's all about what you can do. What have you done? What skills do you have?

When I was looking, I researched a lot of the job openings and looked at the skills they were hiring for. Then I taught myself the skills and technologies I didn't know.

It also helps to know what the most in demand jobs are. I'm not sure if it's the same, but last year the top jobs were front-end engineers and dev ops.

When I was ready I went out to apply for jobs and pretty much had the exact resume jobs were looking for. Then the bidding war starts as everyone wants you to work for their company!
Yes, and with significant outages too. Again, I'm not saying multicast doesn't work. Multicast works well as long as you can guarantee that your network topology, components (switches and routers), servers and usage pattern will be predictable (and you test everything rigorously before going live). I can imagine that being true at some places with extremely tight focussed requirements.

In a dynamic environment where you'd be scaling continuously and adding components and servers and building new services, this becomes a non-starter. Multicast implementations doesn't fail gracefully -- there's very little warning before things come to a complete halt and need complete shutdown and reboot of entire network.

As a homebrewer who consumes the end product of microorganism processes, an unexpected infection almost always yields off-flavors that are counted as defects in the beer. That said, there are some beer types that are "spontaneously fermented" by environmental yeasts, that end up with a sour taste as a desirable characteristic, and the rest of the beer flavor profile is crafted to harmonize with it.

I think there is a slight possibility the claim is true, but only for sourdough breads.

I am tempted to say the world took a step backwards when it moved to thin coax with those BNC connectors and terminators.

And the less i say about fiddling with TP and modular connectors the better.

Being able to lay down a loop of coax, and then just clamp on as needed seems like heaven (though i guess having all those switches allows for much better throughput).
Thanks a lot for the info/advice. I will definitely share. He was wondering if a small directional speaker attached to some part of the ear that allowed the natural sound to just be augmented by an amplified speaker would be better than blocking the whole ear from natural sound and replacing with digital. I wonder what the "digital" effect of these Bose headphones will be. I would expect that they are inferior to hearing aids that have been under development for eons but maybe it will be a different approach that addresses different problems.

For the record, you're not forced into it at all. I'll mention that in the TypeScript compiler, we use very few classes at all - it's mostly written in a function-oriented style.

This logic is flawed in the sense of completely misunderstanding of "progress".

Sure, the 900sqft home argument might be somewhat valid. But in the majority of the situations I've seen, it's the opposite happening. So I'd challenge this one for sure.

As for the cable TV and phone line... Yea. There is something called technological progress. We have more services today because that's the world we live in, a connected world, where work and personal lives merge and access to the internet is paramount.

Your parents bought used reliable cars, great, people still do. But cars are relatively cheaper/easier to produce as well. Are you going to say the same thing when the next generation "rents" car rides as their monthly expense?

Eating out... yep. People eat out more. It's more efficient and frankly cheaper in some scenarios. That's not always the case, but often is. And in larger cities where kitchens are absolutely tiny, cooking is not only inefficient, but sometimes not even possible. So, I'd challenge this as a misunderstanding of the times - again.

Where money is spent vs how it's earned and the cost of living play into all of this. And just because the allocations aren't the same, the idea that it should be attributed to "entitlement" simply puts you on the "out of touch" spectrum.

Good day.

Disclaimer: I am not an audiologist, but I am married to one :-).

Because of the way your ears function, the vast majority of people who have hearing impairments have them at specific frequency ranges. Hearing aids do amplify sound somewhat, but they mostly work by pitch shifting voices away from your personal weak spots to wherever your hearing is still strongest. They also do some signal processing to differentiate voice-like noises from other sounds, amplify the voice, and actually mute the non-voice sounds.

For people who have some hearing loss, blanket amplification can be counterproductive and dangerous. Turning up the volume across the board doesn't help at all with differentiating signal from background noise, and can cause what hearing you do have left to degrade much faster than it otherwise might due to the increased stress placed on the ear.
Ah gotcha. Thanks for the input.

I've been looking at Snowplow and it seems really cool.
I think David might cry if you interpreted his writing as postmodern. He quite explicitly critiques the developmental dead-ends of postmodernism.

I can't do his ideas justice, but the path of postmodernism is essentially a form of nihilism that must be broken through to a new level of meaning-making. That is to say, a modern level of development believes there are self-evident truths. postmodern would say that all truths are relative, without basis. An integral or construct-aware level would have insight into meaning-making itself and be able to create "solid" values out of nothing - essentially a post-nihilism.

I don't think theres good language for these stages, so I'm just using "construct aware" from Susan Cooke-Greuter:

Competition is great. I ended up with the HTV Vive this year, and I've had more problems than fun with it.
This is a pretty critical ruling. Consider this statement:

"The legal arguments made by Spiegel Online, outlined in an unofficial English-translated copy (PDF) of the judgment courtesy of Eyeo, argued they were making a "unified offer" to online consumers. Essentially, that offer is read the news content for free and view some ads. While Internet users have the freedom "not to access this unified offer," neither they nor Adblock Plus have the right to "dismantle" it. Eyeo's behavior thus amounted to unfair competition, and it could even wipe the offer out, Spiegel claimed."

The 'unified offer' reasoning is something I hear a lot of from people who dislike ad blockers.

Not suggesting this is an end all solution, since CHF can also stem from non diet related issues, but eating a whole food plant based diet can start to reverse heart disease in as little as a few weeks. It can also prevent and reverse many other diet caused/related diseases.

I think part of the issue has mainly been a lack of education on what a poor diet consists of.

If anyone is interested, Dr. Gregor is a great resource of knowledge on this subject. He did a talk at google https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7rNY7xKyGCQ which is based on his book "How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease" https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250066115/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bEXs...

replying to myself...

I want to make the point clear that I am not defending the Japanese internment. It was certainly an evil act. One of many evil acts committed by nations around the world. That's what war is -- a sequence of evil acts. On some level, we should be ashamed of all of them.

What I object to is the cowardly labeling of the internment camps as "FDR's" This is a propaganda technique. We've seen it recently used very effectively with Obamacare. The reality is that internment was the result of a complex series of events, concerns, and government actions. If you try to associate it with an individual, I will be strongly suspicious of your motivations.
They can change your perception of anything, leading you to buying stupid shit you don't need, or to voting for somebody that doesn't protect your interests.

And any piece of knowledge is dangerous in the right context. This is usually felt more strongly by minorities. You're actually privileged if you're a straight, white, middle class male, but even so you can end up being harassed and hurt for who you are. Have you ever cheated on your wife? Have you ever spoken against powerful men? Do you walk funny?

I was born in 1982, so I caught a couple of years of communist in Romania. And let me tell you, the atmosphere, the paranoia, the secret service of a police state managing to change the fabric of society by using a huge network of informants and fear was far, far more interesting than the 1984 novel.

And if you think it can't happen to you, then think again, because at least your parents were alive when such things happened for real.
"To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country was broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship.

To answer questions here and in responses, as to what serfs were and how distinct they were or weren't from slaves:

"Serf" is servus in Latin: literally the word "slave". Serfs began as chattel slaves on late-Roman latifundia, but were tied to the land, not to individual owners, by late Roman laws trying to fight depopulation and keep agriculture running.

In the Dark Age, the Carolingian period, and the Viking Age, slaves'/serfs' rights increased due to pressure from the Church, while free commoners' rights decreased, often also due to pressure from the Church. By the end of the Viking Age and the beginning of the Middle Ages proper, official documents spoke of "slaves free and unfree"; by the High Middle Ages, land as well as people was servile or free, so that a serf could own free land (which required a cash rent) or a freeman could own servile land (which required labor service). "Own" here meant "lease", but you could literally buy or sell the lease, or borrow money against it.

A History of Private Life, especially its second and third volumes, and Marriage and Family in the Middle Ages are excellent sources on this.

Vehicles are considered "deadly weapons" as far as application of force goes.

As soon as he backed into the cruiser on dashcam, I really don't see any way that ending well.

I saw at least two moving violations in the span of 15 seconds. Backing that trailer into the cruiser would generally be counted as assault with a deadly weapon, so application of force is "end the situation" at that point.

> Asking for a phone number seems pretty valid.

I agree with your reasoning that for the vast majority of casual users it is useful (and maybe gmail is only intended for casual users). Otoh, there are countries where you could be punished for speaking your mind via en e-mail account that is linked to you (say by phone number) or from that e-mail account being linked to you via your using it to sign up for another service. For example, in the US one could conceivably be punished (or at least face an expensive court battle) for publishing certain types of software see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein_v._United_States from an e-mail address linked to you
Email parsing and extracting data from it, (input data in multiple languages), that is not strictly depending on predefined templates but being able to adjust itself. Think parsing emails from multiple providers of certain kind of service and exposing common data model. Looks like perfect usage of machine learning.
There is a small risk in the possibility of the phone exploding. (Most don't. And the phones still out there have worked correctly since they came out, presumably.) There's also a risk of disabling a device which a user might be counting on to reach 911, which may, in fact, be more likely.

Arguably, if you are starving (literally), contaminated food may be the better choice, if say, we can cure that later, but without the food, you'd die now.
