More people ought to - but the extent to which everyday people attempt this (even if aware that they might want to) is probably no more extensive than searching via duckduckgo and/or browsing with a private window/incognito mode.

It doing so is much more difficult than these options, then it seems unlikely to happen.

Edit: that said, if there are - in fact - simple ways of achieving this goal I'd like to hear so I can share them.

...the cost of living they are willing to put up with, and the work they are willing to do...people in America are not willing to do backbreaking labor like picking fruit?

Yes, Mexicans are willing to do what it takes, while many Trump voters prefer to sit at home refusing to work and doing meth.

I was making the following core points: 1) the Trump voters apatters was defending suffer mainly from self-inflicted problems and b) Trump is exploiting their desire to blame others for their own bad choices in order to take power.

You haven't disagreed with me at all on this point. All you've said is that this behavior is somewhat predictable. I agree, it can be predicted. So what?
Avast also does HTTPS MITM. It's on by default, but can be disabled in Web shield preferences.

I've just tested it in a clean VM running Windows 7, and the MITM didn't work in current Firefox stable, but it did in IE.
However, as far as I can tell, it only MITMs DV certificates, not EV. Also, when it MITMs a self-signed certificate, it generates an untrusted certificate, but it says it was generated by Avast, so the user could trust it more easily.

Also, in my experience, the free version of Avast considerably affects performance on slower machines (no SSD, earlier-gen CPU, etc.), but YMMV. It also tries to install Chrome as a default browser, a Google toolbar for IE, various "Secure browsing" extensions to other browsers and lot's of other annoying crap.
...because you're completely self-obsessed.

Forget men vs women, you know what people like? They like it if you're actually interested in them and listen to them and don't have a hidden agenda and aren't silently judging them.

You can apply this to a lot, not just romance. I mean, there are other approaches to making yourself desirable (like be really rich, ridiculously good looking, famous &c) but it's notable that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both seem to be actually interested in what their wives think.
Our entire society is constructed to remove wealth from many people and funnel it to a few. If taxation is theft, then what is rent? What about the fact that any business pays its employees less than the value of the work they do? Once you start to redefine "theft" in such a wide way, most of the economic and social activity we engage in on a daily basis becomes "theft".

Please don't encourage them. I'm fairly certain the CPython core dev team will take almost any suggestion like this as a challenge and break everyone's code again in Python4. They see it as stabbing back at those corporate freeloaders. Or at least that's the public front. I'd just like them to take lessons from Go and actually get unicode right. I'm far more interested in Grumpy. Python2 and Grumpy seems like more of a ace in the hole than Python3.

> And meat eating is simply not sustainable.

I don't know about this. Eating meat as a staple like Americans currently do is certainly not sustainable. But you can raise meat in such a way that it makes use of resources that you can't otherwise use. For example, pigs can live quite comfortably on waste like vegetable peelings. Cows can live on land that is not arable like meadows. Lamb is a by-product of raising sheep for wool.
Have you tried what I'm talking about, i.e. prototyping something by specifying the types and iterating on the core design first before implementing large chunks of the required functionality?

It's probably hard to see the benefits without having tried it first.

This [0] is one of the bigger Clojure projects I've done (around 2.5kloc), also without spec/schema, and I really didn't dare refactor much, even when having a clear understanding of how things could be done better. It was just too much work.

With types I'd go through 10 design iterations before settling for something I'm satisfied it, and even halfway through the project changing things radically isn't a problem (I've worked on a 50+ kloc Haskell backend service, and changing core data structures used pervasively throughout the codebase was a 10min job, literally.)

Contribution to climate change shouldn't be the only criteria for evaluation of an energy source. Shouldn't we also keep in mind pollution? Coal burns, it releases fine particulates into the air that cause cancer in people's lungs. Pollution sucks. We should stop talking about climate change and go back to the 70s when people were talking about pollution.
>ALWAYS READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT DRUGS YOU ARE PRESCRIBED!

I'm not trying to undermine your point entirely, but there is a flip side.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen a patient start a medication, then come back to the office within 48 hours because they coincidentally have every side effect that is listed in the pharmacy's information sheet or that they looked up online. The vast majority of these side effects are benign, present with next to no pertinent physical exam findings, and can't be definitively tied to the new med (like upset stomach, fatigue, headache, etc.).

Then they will start listing that medication as one of their "allergies", and if the nurse/doctor documenting doesn't dutifully probe what type of "allergic reaction" they had, they may end up not being prescribed that med in the future when it really is the drug of choice. A little nausea is a small price to pay if it kills a potentially life-threatening infection.

Also, I'm skeptical about the seizure risk. The thing about side effects is that they are supposed to be stratified according to risk. Doctors are typically aware of these risks, but patients aren't. So if your drug is listed as causing "headache, nausea, and seizures", there may have only been one patient out of millions who had a seizure while 50% experienced headache, yet the handout probably won't tell you that.

But even if it is a notable risk, I would be surprised if the propylene glycol you inhale from an e-cig could accumulate to a high enough level in the bloodstream to cause drug interactions, although I admit adequate research on the subject is lacking.

My advice would be trust your doctor first. If you don't trust your doctor, start seeing a doctor that you do trust. Then if you have a significant adverse reaction to a medication, talk to your doctor about it. Quite often they know something that you are not going to find by spending a few minutes on the internet.

As a side note, a good history includes asking about many habits. A lot of healthcare providers are guilty of simply asking "Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs?", but ideally the smoking aspect should be phrased as "Do you use any tobacco or nicotine products?". Patients usually won't read your mind and volunteer that kind of information. They will tend to give yes/no answers, so direct and specific questions are important.

When you highlighted the white space next to 'ls' on the right next highlighted character should be '-' but i keeps on marking seemingly forever. If you paste that you'll see that every single character of 'invisible' code gets marked.
> If Trump's draft executive order had said something like "permanent ban of all Muslims" then I have no doubts people would start protesting immediately.

That's why it doesn't say that. You start with seven countries, then add five more ("I didn't protest the first seven, why would I protest five?") then a few more, and pretty soon, you got all Muslim countries. It's barely been a week and it's already seven, I imagine the entire set of Muslim countries can't take more than a month or two.

> The ban on entry from these countries is 30 days to "reduce investigative burdens".

For now, yes. That gives the government a month to extend the duration, if they want to.

> After that point all countries on that list need to provide additional screening info in order for visas to be accepted.

It takes months to organize a protest, how long do you think it will take a country to institute "additional screening" for the single other special snowflake country that demands it? Meanwhile, none of those countries' residents can travel (or return) to the US.

> If the countries do not agree to provide said info after 60 days from notification, all nationals from that country will not be allowed entry unless under certain circumstances.

And that doesn't bother you?

> Instead of losing your mind over everything objectionable that Trump does, it might be best to conserve your strength

Conserve your strength for what? There won't be a single incident that's worse than this. Germany didn't go from Socialist utopia to Kristallnacht in a day.
I feel like, instead of MITM'ing all TLS connections, antivirus companies could implement this same thing in a browser extension. If good ad blockers can prevent requests for ads from being completed, an antivirus extension should be able to do something similar, without having to tamper with the TLS connection between the browser and the site.

That being said, users would probably be much safer if they skipped the antivirus and just installed a decent ad blocker.
Could be worse ... could be IE 8 and 9 (my case)
I don't agree with everything McConnell says, but if you have it handy, note at page 173:

"A study from Basili and Perricone found that routine size was inversely correlated with errors: as the size of routines increased (up to 200 lines of code), the number of errors per line decreased (Basili and Perricone 1984).

And the conclusion (on page 174): …None of the studies that reported decreased cost, decreased error rates, or both with larger routines distinguished among sizes larger than 200 lines, and you're bound to run into an upper limit of understandability as you pass 200 lines of code

With that in mind, consider that KDB's SQL92 interface is 35 lines (the parser is 14 lines). It may be an extreme example of what McConnell is observing, and yet was himself unable to learn from.

> I'm still unconvinced you aren't trolling.

Look at it this way: Here is software that is faster than what you can write (or maybe you want to write your own taxi problem implementation), and if you don't try hard, you will miss out in finding out how to do something that you can't do.

Neither does asking a question which is trivially answered by Googling. Why are you reserving your rage for the person trying to support community norms, and not for the person helplessly demanding that others explain to him what he could trivially discover on his own?

> A LMGTFY link is juvenile, full stop. It's not appropriate in any response.

It makes an important point that someone has asked a question beneath the threshold of questions which contribute positively to the community, and as such I'm happy that it exists, and happy when it's used. lmgtfy links are an act of community self-regulation, whether you think they're "douchey" or not, I'd rather have those links than your pointless screeds in opposition to them.

I'm 99% sure that geostationary satellites (like the one in the post) give a direct image of half of the Earth.

EDIT: I just talked to my mother. She worked with meteorological satellite images downloaded directly from the satellites, since long before you can edit them with computers.

Geostationary satellites give you a picture of (almost) a half of the Earth. Polar satellites have usually a lower orbit and the image cover only some strip of the Earth in each pass.

Passengers´ Phones Helps to Reduce Bottlenecks at Clapham Junction
> On the east coast, the solution is large numbers of smaller (50–500 acres) cultivated food forests surrounding our urban centers, forming the backbone of a production system augmented by urban gardens growing on nearly every rooftop, balcony, vacant lot, road median, yard, public park, and empty warehouse floor. The solution involves brick & mortar markets and food hubs being supplanted by producer/consumer exchanges* that allow computers to handle the aggregating without obscuring the relationship between grower and eater.

I am suspicious of this - especially the part about rooftop gardens. I remember someone telling me that small gardens are quite carbon intensive because they don't get the economies of scale that large farm operations do. Can anyone confirm that? Do permaculture farms get economies of scale?

The true solution is very, very simple. A crippling carbon tax. It needs to be large enough that it becomes unprofitable to have tomatoes in winter, and for food to travel long distances.* We don't necessarily need to buy directly from directly from producers if middlemen supermarkets can transport food efficiently.

Perhaps such a heavy carbon tax would force supermarket chains to downsize and source more food locally and in season, but the real optimisations would come from the things we haven't thought of yet. Every business would be looking to for ways to cut their carbon costs, necessity is the mother of invention of course. This would require a huge restructuring of the world economy. That's possible, just a hard sell - think how much the world economy changed during WW2.

I've been in a pretty apocalyptic kind of mood lately (feeling my vibe? F#A#∞ is a great album to day dream this stuff to.). Melting permafrost in Siberia and Alaska will cause a a vicious circle of carbon being released, further warming temperatures. Political action is the only thing that can stop climate change and with the way Trumps first week has gone, my hopes for that are the bleakest they've ever been. Are we past the tipping point? I'm kind of wondering if we should just give up and use the rest of our oil to move people away from coastal areas. Perhaps militarisation of national borders is the logical thing to do to prepare for waves of climate refugees that can't be supported (that's a very, very sad thought). Will starving nations resort to nuclear war? What do people here think?

* Worried about how the poor would handle such a rise in food costs? You should be. I imagine the bulk of the tax would need to be transferred to the poor, as they spend the largest proportion of the income on basic necessities caused by a heavy carbon tax. On a global scale, a heavy carbon tax would need to result in large transfers from the developed nations to the underdeveloped. A political pipe dream...

There is no IDE that will flag this. Advanced whole-program static analysis has a hard time with this problem and I'm not aware of any general solutions.

Had the author consulted the literature, he'd know that the environmental credentials of grass-fed beef are extremely suspect; some studies suggest that the carbon footprint is actually greater than intensive feedlot beef and the land use is absolutely vast. He'd know that only a handful of animal sources of protein have equivalent CO2 emissions to plant sources - intensively reared poultry, eggs and some inshore seafoods.

Promises are cheaper than deeds. You don't need to actually protect anyone. It's actually better, from the agency's perspective, if they can convert an asset from an honest law-abiding man to someone who has "crash[ed] a system in a public place". They have leverage over the latter.

I haven't messed with the retail Rift or the Vive but on my Rift dev unit, I enjoyed watching 3D movies in one of the "fake theater" environments. It simulated a giant movie screen and could interlace a side-by-side 3D movie file to generate an effect similar to what you'd see at the movies. I found it actually better in some ways, mainly because you could adjust the amount of "depth" separation if the default seemed off. At the real theater, it ought to be correct as shot but if you want to tweak it, you're obviously out of luck.

That said, I still don't watch many movies in 3D. I think the best one I watched with a VR headset was "Gravity" (in terms of the overall impressiveness of the 3D effect and the immersion).

It's usually the elaborate, "cloudy" stuff that prevents booting custom OSes (mostly just networked storage, e.g. https://github.com/scaleway/image-proposals/issues/11 Scaleway would need a Network Block Device driver to run FreeBSD).

Normal "VPS" providers often support this, e.g. prgmr just lets you boot into a recovery image (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD) and do whatever you want to the virtual hard drive, install anything that runs on Xen there. It's like running a Xen VM on your own computer, except it's someone else's computer.

Interestingly, Digital Ocean uses local storage. I guess the issue was just with the boot process.
