> The downside of this approach is that if we all did it then the world would be a much worse place.

I think on the way to that happening, the world would become a much better place before it gets worse. Only a very tiny percentage of us needs to try to understand events around the world and repeat to peers what they think is worth repeating, then those peers repeat to their peers what they thought was important to hear, and so on.

It's already kind of happening since journalists aren't a big percentage of the population, but instead of filtering out the important stuff, it's what we call the "media circus" and big business.

Caffeine is known to have withdrawal symptoms. Those headaches, for me in the face and forehead, seem to be a common symptom.

As I went through my 20s I experimented with abandoning coffee a few times. I had developed the habit in college and I wanted to ensure that I was continuing to drink coffee for the benefits and not simply because I was addicted to it. This meant that I did handful of experiments with not drinking coffee for 2-3 months. The first week or two would be rough. Headaches starting 24-30 hours after I stopped and persisting for about a week. After that I would just settle into what felt like a normal life, but a lot more groggy.

The main difference between my life with coffee and my life without seemed to just be how grumpy I was before noon. I still had insomnia, I still got tired after lunch. Those things seemed unconnected to the coffee.

Maybe I need to go off coffee for a long time to really see the benefits, e.g. give it 3-6 months for my body to recover and stabilize. I'm not sure, but at this point I have what I consider to be a healthy consumption level and I get the benefits of increased alertness and focus in the mornings. I'm focusing on other elements of my life to address any health concerns.

FWIW wikipedia seems to be aware that those patrol teams are more harmful than useful.

Vandal Patrol got shut down; new page patrol is now a user right and it's getting a lot more scrutiny and discussion - and the discussion is all focused on preventing the newbie-biting harms. Twinkle and rollback got a lot of scrutiny.

I hate wikipedia, but I'm glad to see some movement in the right direction.

That's not quite right. Yes, on the one hand his discovery wasn't from nowhere. But it was still a breakthrough - there were multiple theories of evolution in circulation, but most we now know were simply wrong (e.g. Lamarck's theory of evolution). Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection was not only the sole survivor of those times, but also has stood up til today.

It's important we realize that scientific discovery always depends on the work of others ("the shoulders of giants" as the saying goes), but we also have to recognize true breakthroughs as well, and not just say Darwin "collected evidence for a popular theory".

We created a bot to sell insurance products earlier this year. While there were many messaging platform we could have chosen, we chose FB messenger because it was the most reliable channel for getting an accurate identity of the user. This improved our ability to qualify leads coming through that channel vs. any other channel where the only piece of information you get about the user is an cryptic username or a phone number. In addition, we were also able to use user's FB to generate word of mouth. We believe it could be that FB's monopoly on user's identities on the internet that gives it the edge in messaging wars.
While I wouldn't call that incorrect, you could argue that the first Doom game was pretty much exactly what you described. In fact, the original Doom analysis linked by another commenter below (http://vectorpoem.com/news/?p=74) says the first Doom is more like the classic arcade manic shooter Robotron than a first person shooter. So it's going back to its roots.

People grossly, grossly overestimate the long-term effects of fallout. The main negative effects of nuclear warfare would be infrastructure destruction and the collapse of food/medicine distribution - fallout wouldn't even register.

At the height of the Cold War, a full-on strategic exchange between the US and the USSR wouldn't have ended human civilization. Things would've been unpleasant in parts of North America and Eurasia for a time, but all these extreme scenarios that are sensationalized wouldn'tve come to pass.

Look at Chernobyl - it's essentially a thriving wildlife reservation, now.

That just about mirrors my experience with SP3, I got it not long after launch (It came with 8.1, not 10). Fails as a laptop because of the hardware (i.e., can't actually use it in your lap), fails as a tablet because of the software.

My SP3 pretty much lives in the docking station at home these days. My Google Pixel XL is pretty much a tablet, and my work laptop (XPS 15) covers me for my computing power needs when traveling. I don't even bring the Surface anymore.

I'm thinking my next desktop for home (to replace the Surface) will be some sort of Linux machine. The Surface was my first personal Windows computer. I'm realizing now that Ubuntu fills all my current needs, especially now that I can run some form of Visual Studio on it.
Alcohol, especially beer is a real exacerbator for me. Try a temporary elimination diet like whole30.com. You'll be able to establish a baseline of how you feel with everything cut out then selectively add foods back in and see which ones negatively affect you.
Ha, I should have read down a few comments, I didn't even see yours!
I think that you are getting downvoted for implying that an extreme position is the only alternative. I don't think that is necessary at all.

Its not that you have to ignore all news sources because of the possibility of bias (or easy, emotion filled "emotional truth" nuggets that fill so much of the discourse), but that you should be aware of these issues and react accordingly. Take time to reanalyze whether the narrative being pushed really makes sense. Compare it to other sources and validate the findings.

So far my Macbook Pro 13" fully loaded has done a great job of replacing my Macbook Air.

What does bug me though after spending over $2.5k (sales tax) for a brand new 'state of the art machine' I can't even play the new Civilization 6 on 1024x768 resolution and lowest possible settings without the computer fan on full blast to stop it from basically melting. It's utterly pathetic.
I have 2 x 27" 4K screens side by side (at 1:1 text scaling - yes, I'm crazy, but it's for work so the tradeoffs were worth it for me).

You can still play your games at 1080p on a 4K screen - the pixels divide up evenly by 4, so I don't think it would look any worse than playing on a native 1080p panel of the same size.

If you really, really want mac style text rendering on your monitor, check out an app called MacType. The text will look much closer to how Mac renders fonts.

I don't know how true it is that niche topics are unwelcome. I wrote this article about a year ago in hopes of getting this implemented in Python's statsmodels, and so far nobody has told me that this very niche topic shouldn't be in Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medcouple

I've gotten a number of helpful edits for it too.

I also referenced it from the much more mainstream Boxplot article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot#Variations

So, my experience has been positive so far.

(Btw, I'm still hoping someone will implement this in statsmodels.)

The offer of a contract might bolster one's bargaining position a tiny amount, but usually it is still dwarfed by the huge power the company still wields. Especially if one is in the position where they really need the job. If you're unemployed, then you have no bargaining power, regardless of whether they're offering you a contract or not.

To clarify for anyone unfamiliar with UniFi from Ubiquiti.

The controller is the GUI that allows you to adopt new UniFi devices and manage the network devices. It's cross-platform via Java. It doesn't have to run continually, as the devices themselves hold the settings. However, continual logging does require the controller to run.

While the switches, Security Gateway and WiFi access points are managed; none of them actually have their own GUI. The can, however, all be accessed via SSH.

The Cloud Key is a POE dongle that runs the Controller software. Nice out-of-the box, plug and play option.
THE LONG VIEW – Edward Burtynsky’s quest to photograph a changing planet
The argument I've heard against "burning trash" isn't that it's unclean or anything but that, to the extent stuff in trash is made from oil, still amounts to burning hydrocarbons. From an energy yield perspective, my impression is that it's more favorable to e.g. compost organic matter and recycle plastics.
Many people find being part of a team that build something great or useful to be fulfilling and take pride in their work even if they're only a small replaceable part of the process. The blue collar profession related subreddits are a pretty good example of this.

Pretty much all lower level software development is no more remarkable than working on an assembly line. Code I've written helped streamline testing for a tiny bit of code that's a tiny part of a single piece of software that's part of a massive software hardware system that can be used make it harder to slip an IED under a dead camel without anyone noticing. Is that really any less important than the guy checking bearing tolerances before shipping the bearings to the manufacturer of the machine used roll the threads on the bolts that will affix to the airplane the hardware the software system uses?

We're all just a tiny part of a bigger machine on some level.
They have some hardware that runs it's management interface on the device itself. Their UniFi and USG and some of their more prosumer-ish switches and stuff require you to run the UniFi Controller, which is web-based, on a computer. Our ops guys manage our 3 UniFi APs running the UniFi Controller on their individual laptops. If they need to change configuration they fire up the UniFi Controller and hit a webpage on their localhost.

The devices, once configured, run independently of the UniFi Controller. It's just needed for configuration changes or monitoring outside of snmp. (or apparently the guest portal)

Edit: As Elon has previously said, not releasing something that saves lives is actually unethical. If a single life is saved by AP software that would have died if the vehicle was driven by human meatware, not releasing it is the unethical thing.

> Wikipedia had evolved from the early days when I was consistently delighted to find information on all manner of obscure topics

IMO, encyclopaedias aren't meant for obscure topics. And any products or services with a focus on curation have to discriminate. Of course the criteria for doing so will probably always be controversial.
But it's not equivalent, because there's this thing about wealth:

Scenario A: Let's say he donates all he's worth today, minus what he needs to live out his days and provide for his family. Call it $80B. Awesome. Potential downsides: giant influx of cash invites corruption/skimming etc, and it also doesn't promote self-sustainability (from the recipients' cash flow perspective).

Scenario B: He leaves the bulk of his money invested, accruing 5% annually. (But since Ray Dalio is mentioned as a partner, it might be closer to 10% or 15%) That's at least $3.5B annually (after 15% capital gains tax). He's 61 years old; call it 25 years of life left. So now we're at 3.5B * 25y = 87.5B. As a very conservative estimate (5%, no compound interest). AND, he's still got his original $80B investment "in the bank."

The choice is obvious.

Agreed. Though I have no idea what motivates other people, and opinions vary, so I can't say the decision to go back to Apple is wrong.

I am surprised that for all of the online ordering we do in today's society, so many people use bricks-and-mortar stores for their high-tech purchases. I had my Surface Book shipped to my doorstep like most anything else I purchase in my life. I find it unpleasant to go into Apple stores or Microsoft stores. I've had negative experiences with both and prefer to just get things shipped to my home now.

In my experience, the Surface Book trackpad is as good as any Mac trackpad. I'd say both trackpads are about 80%, if a good mouse is 100%.

If they really are switching to the Surface at "Record Rates" then why don't they provide the numbers to back up their claim instead of using superfluous headlines to prop up their ailing product? It's reminiscent of Apple's tired old line of Android users switching to iPhones in record numbers yet the smartphone OS market share reports never really seem to reflect that. I switched from Windows to a Mac about a year ago and found macOS to be a refreshing change from Windows in terms of UI, polish, usability, privacy, app quality and security. Those people switching, that have never experienced Windows, better prepare themselves for the world of hurt that awaits them.
I have been using using Hyper kinda since the beginning and eventually switched back to iTerm because it's way faster if you use it all day long.

I'm in this boat. I recently got advised to drop caffeine for heartburn/reflux reasons. It took me a bit to realize that I was repeatedly going through withdrawal because I would still have a can of something every other day as a 'reward' or whatever lie I would tell myself. I had to go cold turkey. No coffee, not even decaf tea.

Performance and stability wise, not quite as well.

However, the ability for quick, easy, and familiar customization and automation for web developers is hard to deny either.
It doesn't work the other way. If you take only a few documents they simply lie their way through those few leaks and continue on. You need the bulk of the Snowden leaks, and the ability to continually show the government to be lying, to even start the conversation.

As for what's justified, there's no justification for not reporting crimes. There's no difficulty bar where you get to relax even though nothing has changed. You have a legal obligation to report illegal acts and orders even if it's uncomfortable. If the government wants to deter leakers it should start listening to their initial complaints, before these loyal Americans feel the need to go public.

> a more balanced approach is necessary.

Right, when crimes are revealed more of the administration need to go to jail. Hell, it's the military and some should probably be hung for their crimes. As long as the whistleblower is the only one suffering we can be sure the system is failing.

I tried iTerm and then Hyper, and didn't really see how either benefited me over Terminal.app so I stuck with that.
