Bring nature to your own place, Thats what helps me. I do gardening to help myself.

Just seeing them growing everyday, Give me some kinda of hope and makes me feel i'm not alone.

Its so easy to start with and so rewarding, Just get some pots and soil and start planting your own vegetable or flowers! I promise you'll be happiest person on earth when your chilli fruits!

You can try to make your own coffee/tobacco or medicinal herb if you have enough space!
Good point. Also, much of the value in creativity is due to the fact that you do it your way. If you write a poem or a song, it says what you want to say, the way you want to say it. No one else can do that.
Daesh profits from the fracture, since it feeds their radicalization efforts.
Then deliberately set your standards low. I used to have a "bad art night" where I'd create something, no matter how crappy, just to say I'd done it.

Perfect is the enemy of good; good is the enemy of
good enough.
Correct. Anyone that thinks the dev community is abandoning Apple is delusional. Even with this new iteration, the MBP is still the most versatile solution.
I've found DIY restoration and home improvement therapeutic. It's time consuming but rewarding.

That statistic includes drunk drivers who where not at fault. ed: And if using the NTSB numbers sober drivers with drunk passengers.

PS: Drunk driving is stupid and dangerous, but poor statistics bother me. Drunk drivers are more often night time drivers adjusting for that closer to ~1/4.
Kiosk- Launch Any URL as a Full-Screen Kiosk in Google Chrome or Chrome OS
Sadly, so often 'qualified' is a subjective thing. And folks just love to imagine that people who are just like themselves seem more qualified. So we get cliques. And its hard to break into one.

Also, no need for the strawman of "perfectly match". We could all start with making the effort to find actual, qualified people who help diversify. They're out there.
A broken traffic light seems no different than a 4 way stop once you've realised it's broken, and I'm pretty sure Waymo can handle those already.
>> – if your data set is good enough, you won't be suggesting insertion there.

Generally, I doubt you should ever suggest any corrections to the use of
articles. This tends to be colloquial, or even personal and there's no point
trying to force one style on your users. Unless you like pissing them off (MS
Word sure does).

As to spellcheckers- I think that goes the other way, doesn't it? You apply some edits to an out-of-vocabulary word you found, to see whether you can arrive at an in-vocabulary word to suggest as a correction.

In any case, I'm not disagreeing with anything you say. I'm just saying that "grammatical" and "ungrammatical" have strict definitions and you can't just throw them around like skittles.
A Majestic Leopard Accidentally Takes a Selfie in the Streets of Mumbai
Where are the creative professionals loudly declaring that they're leaving Apple over the new MacBook Pro? The graphic designers I know are optimistic about the Touch Bar.
Mobile App Development Cost – An Easy Guide to App Creation Pricing
This generation of MB hardware generally seems to have issues from trivial through severe. I purchased my fiance one of the new Macbooks for school along with one of the USB-C dongles to allow her to connect to an external monitor.

She constantly has flickering issues when it's connected without a reboot after connecting. It seems to be an unacknowledged issues with video and the macbook, which was attempted to be solved via a visit with Apple where the replaced the dongle to no effect.

The machine is fantastic in terms of weight, screen, and layout. I don't really mind the single USB-C and would love to have one, but the hardware issues have made me decided to sit this generation out and wait for what's next.
Call Centers May Know a Surprising Amount About You
The ironic thing is how much simpler it would have been for Apple to give people what they actually wanted.

All anyone wanted was a retina macbook air. That's it. Everyone was perfectly happy and just wanted a nicer screen.

All anyone wanted was a mac pro tower with updated SATA and USB speeds and new processors, etc. That's it.

Instead, in both cases, we got silly weird things that nobody wants. I'm never going to buy the non-tower mac pro. Similarly, when the new touchbar macbooks were announced, I ran to the apple store and bought a nice, new max spec 11" air to hold in reserve in my closet.

Now I'm covered on the laptop front for at least five more years and apple has cumulatively lost out on 3-4 laptop and mac pro purchases from me.
I don't have one so I can't confirm, but I think I remember removing the Siri icon while playing with it at the store.

Like this, maybe? http://www.imore.com/how-customize-control-strip-touch-bar-m...
"It's a fixture of complex adaptive systems analysis that one encounters scenarios where having anything short of perfection is just as good as useless."

Great point. It's one that not enough people are emphasizing.

I need to be physically engaged in the driving experience or I won't be attentive in the least. It's been a trait since childhood that my mental state is tied to physical activity. A car that keeps me physically uninvolved until it decides that it needs me would be a death trap for me and anyone around me.

> every human has the same potential for amazing learning, the only difference between those seemingly geniuses with perfect answers that solve problems in a way you could never conceive, is they practiced more, and thought about it more.

I completely disagree, and I think this attitude, which I find more prevalent in North America, is at the root of a lot of depression and feelings of lack of self worth. It's the same as saying that "person X is more successful than person Y because they wanted it more / worked harder at it"

In the end we do not have all the same brain, and we do not have all the same capabilities, thinking that we do in my opinion makes it a lot more likely to develop feelings of lack of self worth (I still suck at this, it must be my fault)
> Second hand smoke harms people.

If you blow smoke in people's faces, you are an ass. I say this as someone who sometimes smokes.

> A lot of household violence is fueled by alcohol.

But alcohol isn't the cause of this. I don't care why you are violent at home, but your an ass if you are.

These are situations where people are bringing in others on their activity unnecessarily. It's still apples to oranges IMO
Author here. I’ve only had a handful of negative reactions to this article, but pretty much all of them have been from white men. I guess I should have expected that. There is a current of guilt that many feel when contemplating privilege. It makes them uncomfortable and they’d rather lash out or argue it away than deal with it. If you find yourself feeling offended reading the article, here is some context:

1. Please don't read this as an attempt to speak for all White people. Or all men. No one can do that. We all have unique stories that trace their roots back through history. If I don't know you personally there is a good chance I don’t know anything about your story either. I don't presume to speak for anyone but myself.

2. I am in no way trying to say that my privilege comes purely from being White or that all White people have the same privilege as me. Many aspects of my personal privilege have nothing to do with my skin color. I absolutely benefit from the hard work and smart decisions of people in my family that came before me.

3. It is hard to argue that statistically a disproportionate number of non-White people get the short end of the stick when it comes to generational wealth and privilege in America, but again, everyone’s story is unique. There are plenty of people who are born with way more privilege than me. Not all of them are White.

4. I think guilt is the wrong response to privilege. Gratefulness is a much better response. Privilege is something given to you, that you did not deserve, and that not everyone gets. You don’t feel guilty when someone gives you a beautiful gift, you feel thankful. Maybe even loved. In an ideal world, those with privilege would have such a strong response of gratefulness that it would move them to kindness toward others. It certainly motivates me to work to make the world a better place—not out of guilt, but out of thankfulness for the undeserved blessings in my life.
That's how I used to get over writers block. I just start off with deliberately writing crap.
From time to time, I need to understand what is going on under the hood of a framework to debug a problem or understand the best way to do things.

I find Laravel easy to understand when browsing code because of the short methods.

There are tradeoffs, of course, as sometimes it can take several hops through the code to trace down some functionality. But I prefer more short methods vs. one long method any day for readability.
So only 1/4 of traffic fatalities are attributable to a single category of poor decisions. Oh boy.

Do you have a good source that tracks fault in alcohol involved collisions? (I'm not trying to argue, I'm curious to look at it)
I've heard doctors, truck drivers, construction workers and any number of other people complain about the cost of quality tools. For the same reason that people complain about the cost of Apple machines, they don't perceive enough quality difference to justify the price difference.
Kind of sounds like they had this in the pipeline, and rolled it out after the tweet. But hey, the tweet is a good way to turn this into a "Elon Musk is great at customer service" story rather than a "Tesla suddenly rolls out new fee" one.
>ZeniMax contends Carmack was responsible for the breakthroughs that transformed the Rift into a “powerful immersive virtual reality experience.”

...that was completely trampled by the HTC Vive. It's like ZeniMax insists on squabbling over the scraps of a failure.

To play devil's advocate, I suppose they didn't know this when they filed, and Oculus may still prove quite valuable in the future—but either way, they could probably start their own VR program for what their legal bills are going to cost in the end.
Since at least some of the backend programmers are language designers, the vm code might be equally nice to play with, seperate from runtime performance issues.
>[Edit]: In my opinion, a possible fix shall be to give H1B holder job mobility. I.e., if TCS/Infosys brings in H1B holders to replace American workers; and those H1B holders leave TCS/Infosys the next day; then that business model will not work to begin with.

That, and to switch to a simple points system like most other Anglo countries use. If you have enough points, your residency clock starts ticking as soon as you start working and living in the USA, and doesn't reset or stop unless you commit a serious crime. If the clock counts all the way down, bam, Green Card.
Most of the world's great ideas came from doing something that seemed derivative or insignificant at first. Very few came from waiting for a huge, original idea to strike like a lightning bolt.

This fact surprises many people, because popular reporting of science and invention usually attributes ideas to some instant flash of insight, skipping over the hard work that led to it.
"Not at fault" is also not equivalent to "could not have prevented the accident".

For example - I was nearly rear ended by another driver, but I noticed they were failing to brake and pulled into an oncoming traffic lane (after checking there was no oncoming traffic of course). I would not have been at fault but also managed to avoid the accident altogether.

Also just because you aren't "legally" at fault doesn't necessarily mean the accident wasn't a result of poor judgement on your behalf.

For example, slamming on one's brakes noticing you're about to miss a turn you need to take and you get rear ended. You won't be legally found "at fault" but the accident is largely "your fault" for unpredictable driving, slamming on your brakes, and having been so inattentive to have nearly missed your turn.
I am being somewhat knit-picky, because your point is: "Self driving cars only have to be better than humans who are already very imperfect"

But...

It isn't just deaths that need to be prevented. It is a combination of total damages, delays, deaths etc. If self driving cars take forever to make a turn or have other AI failures like driving too slow, it won't be acceptable to a large number of people.

In addition, you will see a situation in the future where partially automated cars Level 2 or 3 are safer than current driving modes. That means that in order to go from level 3 to level 4, you need the car to be safer than level 3.

I want a fully automated self driving car so badly, but I suspect I have a long way before I can hop in a car with no steering wheel and sip an IPA while being rushed home from a tough day at the office.
What's the price and safety delta?

Btw, what is the death/accident rates for non-drunk people? Including accudents from drunk drivers crashing into them.
Don't do the Google search until you're ready to check your answer, and even then don't copy anything you find. It's better for your growth and learning to work the answer out yourself. Not only that, sounds like it's better for your mindset to come to a complete conclusion and then compare instead of getting stuck on how other people have done things. You'll learn how to refine your work eventually, but for now "the problem is completely solved" means essentially nothing. Sounds like your current work is homework for when you start pushing boundaries. This is getting rambly, but maybe you'd benefit from a Coursera class or two in math and then maybe a graduate university night course?
Hopefully they fixed it in a software update

Genesis (Barry Silbert's exchange) allows OTC ETH buying. They can probably do OTC other things too, as the old adage goes money talks bullsht walks.

I love ringing them up and negotiating prices. OTC is the best and fastest (no accounts, you give them your public address and they send you bank wire instructions), but I don't always have the minimum amount.

Kraken is also a national currency exchange that has various markets, I think including Ethereum and Monero.

I think he's referencing hype news pieces produced by RT and alike about their 'accomplishes' in Syria where they've 'bested US and NATO' forces.

Should take that with spoons of salt though.
Civil disobedience is a critical part of a functioning democracy. Defying unjust laws raises awareness of how unjust they are, and if the public is persuaded that the law is wrong then sometimes the laws will end up getting overturned. In the worst case the conscientious objector ends up getting crushed by the system. So when activists break laws they don't do so willy-nilly, because the stakes are so high.

Your claim that laws must always be obeyed in a democracy is gross. Are enslaved people supposed to follow the laws in a democracy that say they cannot fight for their freedom? Are we to condemn black people who organized sit-ins to protest apartheid? Are you not aware that practically all rights we enjoy today are the result of activists who risked their life to fight for these rights? Think for a second about the implications of blind obedience to the law, and the ugly historical record thereof!

Early access open for rumii, VR collaboration for remote teams
Yes.
Lets assume

a. 1 fatality per 100 million miles driven as an average driver[0]

b. .5 fatalities per 100 million miles driven as robo driver

c. .25 fatalities per 100 million miles driven as 20-70 sober well rested driver

I'm 31yr old male so I have an average life expectancy of 47 more years.

That means I lose about .5/100 million * 47 yrs * 365days * 24hrs * 60mins * 60s = 7.4 seconds life lost per mile in robo-car. Sober/well-rested that drops to 3.7 seconds of life lost per mile.

So I'd be giving up 3.7 seconds of life to be able to read/work/sleep instead of drive for every mile. For me this is a good deal @ high speeds(trade 3.7 seconds of life for a minute of time), and an absolute steal at lower speeds(usual commute averages 4 minutes/mile.)

The number of times I have that I felt I could do better - and then I start working on it, get 80% done, but then I struggle with the next 20% - and then almost burnout and give up and feel depressed because I'll never be able to do anything in life, is just insane.

Then I start wondering - what is all of this for? and what's the entire point of even living?

Talking to people does not help either (as it is, I'm not very social and then to add to that, most friends would have a general response along the lines of "oh wow...look at you and your problems", talking to parents is worse - they'll tell me to pray and that's how life is - which I refuse to accept).

Distractions are the only thing that has helped me yet - I distract myself with almost anything I can find - games, cars, tv shows, movies - just so I don't think of anything else.

I write this because, as the author mentions "Make something" - the will to make something disappears. Which is why distractions help.

Linus mentions it in one of his videos. The idea is that Intel doesn't want you worried about the generation, only whether it's i3/i5/i7. I guess this helps them mask over the fact that, year on year, CPUs aren't really getting any faster in single-threaded performance.
From your link:

> About 10 percent of the LCAs approved last year, or 53,500, were for jobs in Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

But, it also adds that:

> More than one employee can be attached to an LCA, and there’s no limit on how many a company can submit. As a result, the number of LCAs accepted by the Department of Labor often far exceeds the number of H-1B visas issued.

Furthermore, when a person on H-1B already living in SJ or SV change jobs, they file a new LCA. This gets counted in the 53,500 number from the article.

Thus, IMO, it is incorrect to claim that "more than 50k people" moved into Bay Area on H-1B in 2015. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The Curious Case of Oddly Named Software Companies
I agree comparing with others is inevitable. I also think you can derive joy and satisfaction in comparing against your self (i.e. your previous work). Admire your improvements, however small, and pat yourself on the back for having persistence. It might seem hollow/shallow, but I really believe it's a powerful way to frame skill-building.
I updated the moving slowly of the bullets, the position are calculated in the client and the server in parallel.
One of the things that helped me was teaching myself a new skill. Finishing a Udemy course and knowing that I have a new (and marketable) skill is a great feeling that encourages me to find projects to apply it towards.
- Moving backwards to a safe and large enough spot when the route is too narrow to fit self-driving car and oncoming huge lorry (and there is no line marking the limit between road and ravine).

Surely you're missing the point? With V2V comms there will never be a need to go backwards. All vehicle trajectories become 100% predictable (mechanical failure aside). The problem of massive trucks on narrow country roads (which we have a lot of in the UK) is solved by simple forward planning. Hell, the trucks could get even bigger, so long as there are passing places.
When a piece of software crashes out of its model space, it becomes infinitely stupid. A drunk driver, while impaired, retains a level of understanding of the situation but a program has nothing to fall back on. I suspect that accidents with automated driving, while rare, will tend to be more severe. Think train wrecks.

What is your experience with predictions, exactly?

I feel confident that WordPress will be more widely used than Medium next year, in three years and in nine years (which is an eternity in tech). Would you bet against that? I don't mean money, but if you feel confident taking the other side, we can both set calendar alerts and check back in one, three and nine years to see who was over-confident and who was appropriately confident in their opinion.

AFIK, no open source ecosystem with WPs level of usage has ever died (and in a sense OSS is unkillable), but it would be fun if you want to take the other side of my prediction. This kind of dynamic is why I blogged every tech stock I bought (after AAPL in 2001). It keeps you honest in your own thinking.
My first indication that the touch bar was probably not gonna be very good was thinking that there is no way that the function keys just happened to be in the ideal spot for a touch surface.
>It is in many scenarios. If I have a little app I want to package then it becomes my responsibility. For commercial software I make it always is and this is part of the reason that linux sucks for commercial software.

You are talking about proprietary software, where developers have unjust power over users. If you want to distribute such software then yes, you have to do the work of making binaries for each distro you want to support by yourself. I would argue that it's not GNU/Linux that sucks here. If instead you gave your users freedom by using a free software license on the source code, then others may package the software for use on the system of their choosing.
