> War is funded by government debt.

About 1/3 of U.S. government debt is held by foreigners. China, Japan, and the oil-producing nations use their trade surplus to buy US Bonds, because they have more cash than they need for the goods & services they purchased America.

I think this was covered in Mr. Perkins' book, but it's been a long time since I read it.
JavaScript Performance and Developer Tools at NFL.com with James Hush-OK Grow
I just bought a 2015 Thinkpad T450 from eBay (I do mean "just bought", it hasn't even arrived yet). Beware the T440 and earlier because they max out at 8GB RAM. I got a T450 with an i7 processor and 8GB RAM expandable to 32GB, and it came in under $500 including the fancy Thinkpad dock.

In general, nothing runs Linux quite like Last Year's Model.

This is not any better. Burning investor money to undercut competition isn't a sustainable strategy - they'll eventually have to raise their prices, which I predict - given their history of integrity and high moral standards - will utterly fuck the taxi market up, to the levels unseen even in the old "taxi mafia" age.
Yes, it is a bit much (I hate that people nowadays use the "curated" label for lists that seem like they just collected everything they could find for a category. Which is fine, but not curated)

I don't think Alexa traffic rankings would correlate all that well to quality.

Grouping them by specialization instead of company name might be interesting, and possibly could be done using some company data set or with text analysis.

Yeah, Service Fabric is more like micro-services for when you need to be able to do rolling deployments and automatic roll backs. It's something half-way between a cloud service and Function/Lamda (plus you need to buy four VMs minimum)
> Extroverts are not inherently better at "relationship management" skills like small talk, how to change the subject, or how to engage with difficult subjects.

Since this flies in the face of common sense (and my personal experience of 20 years in selling B2B software).. do you have any research to back up this claim? (Besides name-dropping Carl Gustav Jung.)
In the US there are also tons of processes that require paper, since SMB's won't benefit and can't afford doing everything 2-3 times (digital > paper > digital) they might as well keep everything one paper.

They pay suppliers with cash or cheques, they pay employees with cash or cheques, they take orders over the phone or via walk ins.

There are a few companies like Sage Software that do have all in one solutions for self employed to SMB's but again they still require quite a bit of time investment to manage.

It's also important to note that many SMB's at least usually "computerize" (jesus what is this the 80's) at least one thing and that's accounting primarily for tax reasons but most of them don't maintain their own books for this purpose and use an accounting firm so whilst tech is use the 500 SMB's that use a single accounting firm don't need to buy their own accounting software since most firms aimed at SMB's would offer a SAAS accounting platform or some way to upload your spreadsheets.

Panasonic RZ6 - 18 hours battery life, i7 (not a real "U" series one, though), 18 hours idle battery life
I imagine the Wii U was originally internally pitched as a sort of cheap and durable iPad-like that offered a tablet experience in addition to the traditional Nintendo experience. I can understand that Nintendo would think there would be some merit to an idea of adding onto the existing Nintendo experience a sort of cheap iPad alternative for children and a broader mainstream audience that couldn't afford an iPad.

What immediately ruined this idea however was that incredibly cheap Android tablets quickly appeared and undermined the whole concept. The Wii U is actually expensive in relation to many of these devices.

But with a chat app the "classic" behaviour is as far as i know, to guarantee that each participant got all the message they ought to.

Thus what are those billions of messages they store in the database? Is it only a very detailed cache data for current conversation or is it hardwired to PRISM or a commercial database? Why on earth should they store so much chat log?

Or maybe i'm not just not award of the popularity of discord, but Billions of messages volumes make me wonder because as a comparison it's roughly iMessage worldwide per day payload.

So messages are probably stored longer than needed : how and why?

> a lot of us underestimate is the flexibility of things like spreadsheet

Even though I love using cool and new tech I often ask first, "can a spreadsheet do this?" Or as is often the case now, a Google Doc spreadsheet.

For example, our office TV dashboard is just Chrome with an off-the-shelf plugin that cycles through open tabs that are mostly display Google Sheets.

It has two benefits:

- It took almost no time at all to set up and 0 code

- Non-technical people can update the numbers easily

Plus Google has an API so if we wanted to add data to the sheets programmatically we could.

All the small businesses I've worked at have another huge factor to consider, when it comes to new tech: Will the tech be supported long enough for it to be worth dealing with?

Anecdotal example: A few years ago, my workplace at the time (a bookstore near a university in NYC) decided to try that payment method Square used to have that let you check in to Square when you enter a store and then just "pay with your face" or whatever. Sounded neat, I knew some folks who loved to pay for things that way in NYC at coffee shops and such, and the Square rep told us about all the other places near us that were adopting this. So we figured what the hell, jumped on in, got some iPad bundles from Square to use for this, and I was tasked with setting it up. Just a few weeks (!) after we had set it up, Square discontinued that service. Needless to say, ever since then, that bookstore has been very apprehensive about "new tech". Why bother investing time and effort into something new if it could vanish at any moment?
Same here, but I actually have a WiiU. I think the big reason it's not as popular is because the main draw (casual gaming with friends at/before parties) is something the Wii does almost as well and everyone already has a Wii. So why bother with a WiiU?

Smash 4 and Nintendo Land are basically perfect party games. But the similar offerings on the Wii are so close to perfect you really don't need to switch up.
You should stop trying to paint me as evil and instead read what I'm writing.

You're also ignoring the point: There is zero societal value in providing cheap college to a student who, for whatever reasons, has dropped out of school in the eighth grade. We need to fix high school, not college.

And as far as providing for those who are ready, do you have any statistics that show that students who would benefit from college are unable to do so? We provide tax breaks for colleges and universities, we have grants available for needy students, we have subsidized loans available for most every student. The average student loan debt in 2016 was ~$30,000. The lifetime earnings benefit of having a bachelors degree is $600,000 - $900,000. There doesn't seem to be a college access problem.
What are you talking about? No one really has to "lose" much of anything in a post-scarcity society, because, by definition, there's no scarcity!

Now in reality it isn't quite so simple, but remember we're talking about fictional future societies where many resources (esp. energy) simply are not scarce the way they are now, so this may be hard for a lot of people to grasp. So in that society, food, energy, material things are generally free or extremely cheap. The main thing that probably still will be scarce is real estate. So if you're a billionaire with a 700-acre compound in Hawaii, then in a socialist post-scarcity society, you're probably going to lose out eventually. But for everyone else, there's really no downside. Middle Eastern refugees will enjoy the same lifestyle as middle class middle Americans (and might not need to feel the need to leave the middle east at all; such a society wouldn't have problems with civil wars and unrest), and the latter will have a nicer lifestyle without having to slave away at some soul-sucking job and worrying about losing healthcare benefits. But neither of them is likely going to be able to own a whole tropical island and have an army of (human) servants.

Let's focus on any harassment or bullying. Environments that ensure low likelihood of repercussions encourage it. Social groups with a small proportion of victims will be particularly bad, as the victim pool is smaller and there are more potential perpetrators.

If you want to woo her, you can pay for her meal. But if you're ugly, she will think she is not the right girl for you.

If you want to be nice, you can pay for her meal. But again, if you're ugly, she will think she is not the right girl for you.

If you're ugly, and you decide not to pay for her meal, you just confirm you're a loser in her mind.

However, if you're ugly, and you pay, she'll think you're a nice guy, but she will also think she is not the right girl for you.

If you're a guy, and you're way hotter than the her, she'll usually offer to pay. And if she offers to pay for you, and you have to let her pay, otherwise, she'll be disappointed in you. Let her pay, and she'll be all giddy and happy.

Now, if you're about the same level of attraction as her, you both can just pay for your own meals.

And, if you're a normal looking billionaire, you're probably gonna have to pay for her meal, because she'll be expecting it.

However, if you're an ugly billionaire, you're probably gonna have to pay for her time and... her body too.

On the other hand, if you're a hot billionaire, shit, you don't have to pay for anything. Girls will throw themselves at you.
To the degree she did? No. But I'm often starting my development tools through docker for windows as it keeps the mess some programs make contained.

> The resolution of an A4 piece of paper is a crisp 3508px x 2480px. For comparison, my MacBook Air is about a third of that at 1440px x 900px.

Not to mention how infinitely more convenient paper is to handle than laptops, and while I can easily spread 10 A4 pages in front of me to look at them simultaneously, I doubt my company will buy me 9 more computers to do the equivalent "digital" thing...

That's why I occasionally even print out code - usually when I know I'll spend a lot of time changing a particular file, and I'm having a hard time understanding it or maintaining focus. Paper + color pens facilitate thinking better than an open IDE.
A proper config could easily fix that. Either whitelist certain devices for unrestricted access. Or blacklist devices to have to obey the config parameters. And then parameters for which ports and destinations things should be allowed access to on a per device level...

Which is literally describing a firewall/iptables once you drop the "established" incoming rule and block outgoing.

Basically, "I want a router iptables configurator with notifications"

Broadly, I think it's inappropriate to convert when the specification is tied to units like this.

For a wild hypothetical, imagine the definition of the foot was increased by 10%. The country would burn, of course, but this restraining order would probably expand with the change. If you're measuring a fact about the world, convert as you will. But if you're "creating" a fact like the court is, that should probably be reported in the original terms.

Of course, but it goes both ways, so the argument is indecisive at first glance. Now you can go down a slight slippery slope and weigh each side of the argument. But it's basically the only reason I am hesitant, so after all you may be right. Surely, not finding the hoped for selection biased my opinion. Yet before finding the player broken by drm I had more great shows added to my list than I currently could reasonably watch.
Heck, there are lots of small businesses that don't have a web page--maybe they have a Facebook page instead, if that--and, to the degree they do have a web page it's probably something just static and informational. Nothing wrong with the latter by the way but it does point to the general level of tech at a lot of local small businesses.

I think Matt Levine nailed it earlier this month [1], on how Uber lost $2.2 Billion in 9 months [2]:

>Eventually there will be self-driving cars, and there's no special reason to think that Uber will be the best at building them, or that its dominant position in the ride-hailing-app space will protect it from better self-driving-car businesses.

Which also needs to factor in Uber's biggest liability: their attitude towards flouting laws and regulations. It worked okay for the ride-sharing markets, as municipal regulations are varied and slow to catch up, but they were forced to stop their self-driving car project after just a week because they didn't even get the necessary permits.

Well I think it's creditable that there was a willingness not to increase the debt simply because it was easier to service (different under Reagan and Bush jr). Though it's congress that borrows, not the executive, right?
Yes, especially when I reply on a thread that started with historic predictions of the end of the world (you know, the seas turning to blood, the four horsemen...).
