I don't like the light given off by LEDs. It looks unreal/surreal to me, and makes me uneasy if it's the only light source. Especially the blueish ones. Before installing them I was very enthusiastic about all the benefits of low power lighting, but now I want to switch back to halogen bulbs, or at least very warmly colored LEDs.

I'm oversensitive though. E.g. slightly flickering energy saving lamps make me dizzy, exacerbated by ACs making my eyes dry (hello, Ikea).

I hope those nano-coated regular light bulbs will become a thing.
This is how Firefox's autofill worked for me just now. Glad to see some more justification for getting off the Google train!
Came to say this.

A head to head game in the vacuum of a single match, like, say, Chess or Go or Starcraft, is conducive to certain kinds of strategies. You have one opponent and no teammates. Your win is his loss. It's black and white, clearer what you're trying to accomplish.

Not all games (or "games", i.e. business) are this simple. There can be multiple players. You may have teammates, or you may need to forge alliances. You may then need to break alliances. There can be multiple degrees of victory or defeat, and multiple paths to victory.

Being unpredictable is inherently scary. It's effective in direct conflict because your opponent must account for more possible future situations, diluting his ability to attack you directly, or thwart your true attack directly.

Exactly what makes this effective in direct conflict, makes it a liability when seeking alliances. People will not want to cooperate with you if they aren't comfortable in their prediction that cooperation will be beneficial, so they'll only do it if the alternative is worse. Being predictable makes it easy for people to work with you. This opens you up to many opportunities for cooperation you'd otherwise miss. When cooperation is essential to victory, this is immensely powerful and puts a hard limit on how unpredictable you want to be if you'd like to win. And heck, in life and business, maybe relationships with people are most valuable trophy anyway, i.e. https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
I'm not sure why you're saying that using Medicaid is equivalent to accumulating debt with the Federal government. Medicaid is health insurance.

It's true that Medicaid will seek reimbursement for procedures that should not have been covered, but that's not different much different than what happens when a private insurance company refuses to pay a benefit. The hospital is free to pursue the person directly for the balance they owe.
I'd disagree with you a bit. It's perfectly possible to host a blog for free on Github or other sources (can even use jekyll themes) and just pay the yearly cost for a domain name. A domain name costs $10-20 a year. That's affordable.

Consumers vote with their wallet and if the transgression is large enough the company feels it.

It's easy to get lost in the tech echo chamber where we take security seriously, but many average consumers don't. So we incorrectly associate our priorities with theres.

Just take a look at Chipotle for evidence of this with the average consumer. A number of incidents of e. coli outbreaks led to sales plummeting and wiped away nearly 50% of their equity in the ensuing troubles.

Though same store sales have rebounded considerably they are still off 50% and questions continue to remain.

So trust me, when the consumer is affected directly in a way that they prioritize they take action and the company is definitely affected.

Unfortunately many security related incidents never trickle down to the consumer in the way that an E.coli outbreak did. Just compare what happened to Chipotle for a handful of E.coli cases versus Yahoo being compromised for 1 billion users data.
Hi, I could use more technical information about these. The description area on product pages has a lot of info about feeding homeless people, not so much about the total weight of the package (hammock+biners+pouch_strap), how much space it takes up when packed, what kind of fabric you used (parachute nylon isn't specific enough for me), and what the deal is with this sleeping pad pouch (it's implied that there is one, but it's not listed in the technical description). Cheers, hope this is useful feedback!

They argue that Trump "Won the popular vote outside of NY and California". That's dismissing millions of voters.

They call people liberal elitists.

They love the "real americans" idea.

I do think calling people bigots based on voting for Trump is ridiculous though.

If there is legislation that makes it manditory to release private data one of the first issues would be how to even define what data should be published and how often.

The second issue is that there is a nontrivial cost to making data public. And since you are a business most often you might get low quality datasets that either would take real effort to clean or extract knowledge and who is going to do that?
It's often overlooked that the deal Reagan made to get the lower tax rates was to eliminate all kinds of investment tax shelters. I.e. few were actually paying those rates, the rates were more for show and are not comparable to the tax system today.

Feature teams make a lot of sense, but one of the problems is that you tend to end up with two bosses, one team boss and one functional boss.

> Most of the more-or-less mainstream distros ship Chromium in their standard repos. In fact, they're more likely to ship Chromium than Chrome due to the fact that the former is FOSS and the latter is not.

That's actually how I first started using Chromium early in my Linux days; I didn't really know the difference between Chrome and Chromium, so I just picked the one that was easier to install. Once I finally learned the difference, I consciously made the choice to use Chromium on all of my systems, even the non-Linux ones.
Where do they claim that?
If blue light exposure causes Macular Degeneration I wouldn't be suprised if environmental and genetic effects would cause some people to be affected by it and others not.

This is the case for noise related hearing loss. Everybody loses hearing acuity a bit as they get older, but exposure to noise accelerates this process. Exposure to ambient sounds in the high 60s (decibels) is harmful to a small segment of the population. That's not very loud, but fortunately most people are not hurt at that level. Occupational exposure levels are set considerably above that point.

> the fear she had realising she was going to have to explain about feminism and women's issues

A little bit more than that:

> In this patriarchal world, this world where even the best men (and women, for that matter) engage in casual and ingrained sexism, how will I raise a son who respects me the way a daughter would? Who sees women as just like him? As just human beings?

She was already projecting her ideological biases on her unborn son, not just fretting over his education.

Her comments:

> How do you raise a white, middle-class boy not to think his own experience is the default experience of the world?

Clearly imply she was going to raise her son very differently from a potential daughter. Why is the above concern any different from raising girls? "(casual and ingrained sexism, anyone?)"

> I will point sexism out to him at every turn, and he will never get away with it without being called out

> By having sons, we do feminism a great service

This kid is never going to be left alone.

I'm not saying that they should be obliged to hand out all their data, just some of it. Example:

We obviously wouldn't want the public to have access to personally identifiable data like GPS movements captured by phones, as this kind of data is highly sensitive. But having access to aggregated, (properly) anonymized data would be sufficient for many things, e.g. to see where local traffic hot spots are and how people commute to work. Giving out this data does not compromise privacy (if done right) and has a very little risk of harming the company that generated it.
And signals, timers and events (inc semaphores) have non-standard fd versions too, but they've been bolted on and you need all kinds of new syscalls to make them work right.

A lot of my friends working in the industry have limited interest in coding (or computer science), but look at it solely as a job... something that guarantees decent financial freedom to pursue other goals.

For me, it's the opposite. Since I first played Super Mario on the NES and wrote my first line of C a decade ago, I've wanted to have a career with computers. But that means I never get to switch off. If I'm not working on something cool at work (and no, I'm not in a dead end job... In fact love my job and team), then I'm at home trying to code something awesome (Was just setting up a DCGAN when I saw this post).

I have no financial worries and should technically be living the good life, but I always feel that if one day all computers in the world shut down abruptly, I have absolutely nothing to do... for work OR for fun. And when I got close to burning out a year ago, the hardest thing was to find something to do.

The route back involved calling people I hadn't spoken to in years, Reading (and smelling) a dozen books, Quizzing and quite a bit of travel. It was hard at first, but since getting back, has provided a much clearer view of life!

So please, plug off for a bit. Don't wait till you start hating yourself/your life. Life is about so much more. :)

You could make that argument for any bot, but in the eyes of Google or myself, I see it as click fraud. I think Google made the right choice here. If you disagree with surveillance and want privacy, there are other tools available such as Ghostery and µBlock. They provide what you want without being retaliatory.

Fundamentally I feel like sabotage involves something like me going to someone's place and destroying their equipment like in your original analogy, also I'm probably being really sneaky about it. Naturally there's a legal and moral right to me not coming over and fucking up their shit, and probably to not be sneaky in some ways.

But here, they are wasting their money because they decided that they'd pay some amount per click. That doesn't somehow confer a legal or moral obligation on me, some random third party, to behave in such a way that this is actually a good deal for them.

That whatever they measure when my browser follows an ad corresponds to some amount of human attention is a gamble they're making, and in no way comparable to the expectation that in civilized society, someone doesn't walk into your store and smashes your merchandise without being punished for it.

Next we're going to go around and fine people for leaving their TVs running without paying attention to the commercials...

I doubt it. There's not a strong racist undertone to at least the exit polls as I've read them. Only a few fringe groups like what you find on Daily Stormer or /pol/ are the likely candidates for any violence but even they're too cowardly to do anything now that the world has eyes on them. If there's any backlash it'll be sporadic.
Upvoted you to try to counter-act the downvotes, which I am really confused by. Social security is a pay-as-you-go pension plan, like pretty much almost every public pension plan in the Western world.

I understand the comparison to Ponzi schemes, but I consider these comparisons rather hyperbolic. The intent of a pay-as-you-go pension never is fraud. There are some definite problems with pay-as-you-go systems, especially now due to the fertility decline in the West, but the issues do not stem from pure malice.
This is cool, but I wish coincap.io was more transparent about their data sourcing. Which exchange(s) is/are they sourcing from? This data can't be coming from ShapeShift (the owners of coincap.io), since prices on coincap.io are in USD while you cannot trade in fiat whatsoever on Shapeshift.

So all that stands between you and being in this exact situation (or worse, since passwords) is your password manager's url comparison?

I refuse to use LastPass - the interface is horrible (probably because you're expected to use the browser extension). But I don't want my password manager anywhere near my browser. I'd really rather have to take an affirmative action in order to release each individual piece of information so I know what I'm disclosing and to who.

Is "diversity of concerns" a primary goal of democracy? Obviously for issues that directly affect a local region, I do think those should be handled by a local government.

But there's only one President for the whole country, for better or for worse. It doesn't make sense to me to apply this idea here.

For public organizations we already have legislation that obliges them to publish their data (or at least we're getting there, like currently in Germany), so it wouldn't be so difficult to take this and adapt it for private companies.

And sure cleaning and publishing this data would take effort, for which one could compensate the companies though. And as there is often just no way for the public hand to generate this kind of data, I think we will definitely see some legislation in this area very soon.

> I'd like to think I'd pick out the $30 wine with a better random success rate

In my experience, wine bars are happy to serve flights blind. I usually taste blind, do a reveal and then ask an expert how to describe what I liked (and didn't).

For some regions, e.g. Bourgogne or Châteauneuf-du-Pape, my tastes are expensive. For others, e.g. Italy, I prefer some lower-priced varietals (e.g. Valpolicella) over some higher-priced ones (e.g. Amarone).
They're not in competition with one another. Together they are both in competition with privately owned cars. A transportation system effective enough to compel people to give their cars up is good for both of them. Uber alone is too expensive, and public transit alone can't provide service everywhere all the time cost effectively.
How do you prioritize on medium to long term plans?

At 40+ I acutely realize how little time is left and how little one can accomplish.

Every day I am reminded on how quickly time passes and hevel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastes) of it all.

Again, I enjoy the little things: the random coffee shop with my SO, my kids' smile, the view from the bridge when I am biking and so on.

But starting anything with longer term implications seems so useless.

Silly example: let's say I decided to learn to sing. I am truly tone-deaf and hilariously bad at singing. Maybe after years of constant practice I could approach some sort of basic proficiency but it would achieved at a cost of forsaking so many other experiences.

We have so little time that I have trouble making longer plans.

Just a guess how this could happen with LED bulbs but not the sun: at noon, there is certainly more short-wavelength power in sunlight but if you're outside without eye protection your pupils are going to shrink down to limit retinal exposure. Out of the sun, your pupils can be open wider but the short wavelength light is still there with these LED bulbs. This is a pretty new development: humans have of course had artificial light sources since before recorded history, but flames (and much later, hot wires) had much less blue output than these specific LEDs they're testing.

Another guess: they might actually find similar retinal problems from sunlight exposure in people who spend most of their working life outdoors, but since most people in developed nations don't work in agriculture anymore their baseline population doesn't reflect a lot of sunlight exposure.
