Watching various media outlets they tend to say something along the lines of: "Russia hacked the election!". Reporting on the hack of the DNC / Podesta, followed by saying that Russia attempted to influence the US election. Both of which are documented and true events. However they attempt to conflate the two in presentation into the literal "Russia hacked John Podesta and Clinton to help Trump". Which is not justified from the limited amount of information available. Similarly they will talk about voting machine hacks, followed by Russia's attempted influence, and in presentation giving you the impression that "Russia hacked US voting machines".

The war on drugs is probably one of the biggest crime against humanity since WW2 with millions of deaths, millions in prisons, and trillions of dollars and human resources wasted, mostly affecting the poor and minorities everywhere. This needs to stop. Sadly, it looks like it will go on for a few more decades.
Someone earlier made a now dead, but sensationalistic comment about how in some cities the transit police can search you before entering the subway, and if you refuse you can't enter (though usually you can enter from an entrance or station without the checkpoint).

I've even seen TSA stationed inside of busy subway stations, thankfully they were only gruffly and inefficiently redirecting passengers, but weren't doing body scans or pat downs.
There is such a thing as production decoupled from labor.

We still need a way to allocate the limited resources, but the primary way to do can't be labor/salaries anymore - because in the near future, unlike all the past millenia, labor of most people is simply not needed for optimum production.

They do because people need to have more confidence in them than in human drivers.

People still feel that "it won't happen to them" because they have agency and can drive safer than others, it isn't neccrary true but you give up on this agency when you let a computer drive.

You can drive in a way which will reduce you likelihood of being in a fatal accident if all autonomous cars have say a 2.5% fail rate on decisions it becomes just a matter of time.
The study did not seem to separate the results of those who completed online CBT from the majority who did not.

An interesting excerpt:
"Take-up of computerised CBT was low, despite regular calls to encourage participants to use the programmes. The median number of sessions completed was two out of eight for Beating the Blues and one out of six for MoodGYM. Only 18% of people who started Beating the Blues completed all modules and 16% for MoodGYM."

Online CBT definitely is not effective if patients don't complete it despite receiving phone calls. I can imagine that getting the motivation to log in and do it is really difficult when you're already feeling hopeless-- even not-depressed people have enough trouble building and sticking to habits as it is.

But I still wonder if online CBT was effective for the small portion of participants who did complete it? What were the characteristics of those who did complete the app? Perhaps we can learn something.

CBT app builders should also consider that self-care options for depression have existed for a long time in the form of books. Can an app do a substantially better job than books? The idea of solving medical issues remotely has been tried for decades.
probably not because it's happening slowly and has been happening for 2 centuries ...
I've used that to write short files (such as settings in /sys or /proc), but for large files, tee has the disadvantage of writing everything twice, and the pipe adds another write and read of every byte.
> My point is that i wished rust made the choice to favor actor style concurrency officially.

I think you're asking Rust to be a high-level language like Erlang or Go, and not a near-the-metal systems programming language that may (someday) have an "official" story about using actors for people writing servers.

Rust's threads are raw OS-level threads, because using green threads by default (or as an option) imposed serious overhead elsewhere:

I haven't use Flask a whole lot lately, but I believe Flask is somewhat similar.

The biggest difference is probably Flask embeds the jinja2 html tempting system by default. While you can use jinja2 with web.py, all of the tutorials show you how to use it's own built in tempting engine, which in my opinion is the biggest downside.

In web.py all of your URL's usually end up in same spot in the code (defined at the top), where Flask has you do a decorator on top of the function which will be handling the request. Web.py has you write "get()" and "post()" functions, while Flask wants you to do a "if request == post/get"

Web.py forces you to "unescape" your html by default, Flask asks you to escape it. So by default web.py will convert html tags to &lt &gt, Flask will not. I prefer the safer default myself.

Fun fact. When Samsung adopted Android, Nokia still had twice the market share in phones that Samsung did. Adopting Android early would've absolutely helped.

Instead they wasted time first with Maemo, which the executive team never took seriously enough to expand across the product lines, then with "touch Symbian", which they should've known it would have never worked, and then with Windows Phone, when it was already too late and it was clear to many at the time that there wouldn't be a "third" large ecosystem for smartphones, because there was no reason for one.

Maybe Android would've helped, maybe it wouldn't have, because it was already a little late for such adoption, but Nokia still have relatively strong brand at the time. And there were much fewer chances it would've worked with the "different" Windows Phone, because people were looking for ecosystem, not difference.

It's not like kids/teens can delete Instagram either. Communication is done with iMessage and Instagram DMs => deleting them not good, especially if you don't have an iPhone. I wish there was an open platform that was encrypted by default, and isn't primarily advertised as privacy centric. If it's advertised that way then people will be scared of being seen as a terrorist or something.

Wire mostly fits the bill except it's app feels like hangouts (ugh), and it's focused on privacy, so teens don't want to use it.

Also iMessage is encrypted, but not cross platform.

US$ 1,000/hour sounds to me like a bit excessive as a cost.
Wow. The title is click-baity, but the article does make me empathize with the mother's position.

I remember being a young kid in school and seeing the few students that just seemed so mentally imbalanced that they couldn't even exist comfortably, let alone study. My school became a center for "emotionally disturbed" children for the county. For the half-dozen of these students, they had 3 (very strong) teachers.

When there's no respite for a condition that is potentially dangerous to your child as well as others, what do you do? What happens when the medication fails to work or has worse side affects? This sounds like desperation. I'd have an open mind towards about anything if I were in this woman's position.
I think the U.S is very behind when it comes to cybersecurity. We are throwing kids who are talented into prison and giving them felonies at a young age because the U.S does not understand them. If they get a felony for minor drug possession or messing around online as a teen, they have this negative feeling towards law enforcment and choose private sector.

But hey, isn't the private sector the new law enforcement? I recall the FBI not even requesting the DNC server for forensic analysis, we just passed it off to a 3rd party. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alimwatkins/the-fbi-never-asked-for...

I'd counter your last point and ask is an ORM really necessary... especially since most DBMS with Node modules have tagged template literals to parameterized queries. In general the responses from databases are usually very easy to use without the cruft and limitations regarding ORMS.

As for migrations, I'm a little more old-school, I prefer versioned scripts/rollbacks that are hand-crafted for SQL, or for very large document/column databases on-read/save upgrades.

Backbone works... though I was in the browserify camp over requirejs/amd, mainly because I wanted the same syntax/modules without umd overhead... moving towards Webpack was a sinch.

Keeping what works is often a good idea, I wouldn't suggest even trying to rewrite everything in one pass for most things. To GP, almost everything revolves around Express server-side, there are other options, but that's still the bulk of the mindshare in my experience, even if I do like the way Koa works slightly better.

For that matter, jQuery really rules the world still, even if the mindshare has declines, and likely wouldn't reach for it for new projects.

Well, that's very much up for debate. The Intentional Fallacy claims that authorial intent is not a valid part of artistic criticism or interpretation. That all you can judge a work on is the internal text and surrounding body of context, not notions of what was going on in the artist's head.

The idea is debated, to be sure.
As an undergrad there was a brief point where I got really into philosophy i.e. its core disciplines such as metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, ethics, because I had never encountered it before but after about a year and a half I got completely sick of all the confused vagueness and have never returned.

The impracticality of the whole discipline is what frustrated me in the end, and is why all my free reading to this day is about maths, physics, engineering, computer science, etc. topics that are applicable in the real world and help me solve problems. I suppose that if you plop logic, game theory, and enough other formal science disciplines under the philosophy rubric you can make philosophy seem more reasonable but to me that's just mathematics and you're fooling yourself calling it philosophy.

I know many will disagree, but IMO there is hardly a discipline more pointless than philosophy, its continually losing ground to science in every area and its methods are questionable at best i.e. armchair I think its so so its so.

In the UK schools are rated in League Tables so parents can choose where to send children.

This incentivices teaching to the test rather than teaching a rounded education and then testing the functional aspects.

So in order to ensure pupils are exposed to culture, you must put it on the test to make sure it gets covered.

I imagine the US uses a similarly shitty system of school funding allocation.

It raises the question "what is school for?"
I'm not convinced by the author's argument. The difference between philosophy and physics is that old philosophical arguments do not become less correct over time. In physics, later physicists build on the earlier body of knowledge and refine it, making it more correct. In philosophy, later philosophers may suggest a counterargument to the early philosopher, but as philosophy does not normally deal in absolutes it is impossible to say the later philosopher is now more correct and worth reading instead of the earlier philosopher.

For example: a philosopher may argue that murder is morally wrong, and a later philosopher may argue that murder is morally right. Neither answer is factually wrong or right. We should therefore read the work of both philosophers to get the most value out of our studies and to form our own opinions.

---

I'd also argue that it's not always worth reading the earlier philosopher's work if someone else can rewrite it in a better form. Personally I think Immanuel Kant's philosophy is interesting but poorly written, and you'd get more value out of reading a later text about his philosophy that his works himself.

Other writers such as Plato have stood the test of time and are worth reading (assuming you have a good translation).

JSCL is quite different from ClojureScript. ClojureScript has a self-hosted form (which, AFAICT, is the default for JSCL), but that's not what you want for most applications if you want to produce efficient minified code. My two specific claims about ClojureScript being good included source maps and aggressive optimizations (and all of the cool side effects from having Closure as your module system) -- neither applies to Parenscript (as I mentioned) or JSCL.

Angular isn't going away, even 1.x will probably see updates for another 3-5 years. React also isn't going anywhere with the heavy hitters behind it... although there may be some migration to react-alikes that use jsx etc, but the techniques in the apps are largely the same.

Vue.js is probably here for a while, though a little uncertain, there's definitely some desire there. I'm not sure about Polymer and web-components, I think there will definitely be more web-component packages to work from in the future, but for now, just kind of holding off myself.

I'm pretty actively following the JS world, and tbh in 2012 I felt so in over my head as npm was growing... It's gotten easier. In general, your best bet is to stay a little behind the bleeding edge and look at what the heavy hitters are investing time/money in, and beyond that what you like.

I'm pretty heavy in the React camp (including Preact, Inferno, etc)... Most of the look-alikes are compatible enough to work, or have a similar enough workflow. I happen to like the component structure, and am a fan of Redux as well. Others have hunkered down for Angular2+.
