I also met Clarke once when he came to Singapore.

The local SF group gave him a sarong as a gift and he autographed my copy of "Childhood's End".
I agree with the trend in home theaters. While a few of my recent projects had traditional "movie theater" designs, the trend is moving towards a more casual setup.

The living rooms, family rooms, master bedrooms all have the same sophisticated surround sound, high quality large LED screens, etc. It's harder now to justify the space and expense of a dedicated theater. I like the idea of a VR-room. Maybe multi-directional moving floor, padded walls, wind simulation, surround sound etc... Now that would make for an interesting home talking point.

As far as kitchens go, the trend I see is this: "Showroom kitchen" with large eat-in breakfast area and family room in one. An auxiliary kitchen connected to this either thru service doors or connected by dumbwaiter in the basement. So people can hang in the kitchen, eat appetizers, open the fridge, open a bottle of wine, etc.. while the heavy cooking prep is done in the service kitchen.

The idea about an "appliance garage"... I don't know... No one is hunting around looking for some appliance they use once in a blue moon. People are always going to have counter-top coffee machines, etc, just sitting on the counters.

As far as master-suites go... The advent of the internet is making people more creative and specific about what they want. What I'm building are really that, suites, like what you would experience in a high-end hotel. Double door entrance with a small anti-foyer, a small study room/area, double door entrances to the master bath and master closets. Sometimes the baths are split into his and her, as well as the closets. The big addition I've been doing lately are adding small, concealed bar areas. Mini-fridge, sink, coffee-maker... who wouldn't want that? Wake up on the weekend, have a steam and a shower, make a cup of coffee and sit out on a private balcony before ever leaving your room.

If only it were as simple as that. AMP websites get a place in the search carousel of Google. So even if your website loads faster than an AMP page, it would not be placed in the carousel - and that's Google forcing companies to adopt AMP even if they already have a fast website.
> we can accomplish fast loading pages with plain, uncomplicated HTML and CSS?

Sure, but news sites don't. That's the problem. They're loaded with bullshit that makes them mostly unreadable on many devices, screws with your scrolling, and takes insane amounts of bandwidth. The problem is that these news sites are fiscally incentivized to make their experiences bad. The more crap you load, the more money you make.

The hook here is that Google gives priority to AMP pages. "Make your page be provably not terrible and we'll rank you higher than your competitors" is a really juicy proposition, and it makes the user (who just wants to read their news) happier. To a news site, you're faced with the decision of having more revenue with a terrible UX or potentially less revenue with more traffic.
> "It is not easy to evaluate a company I love as if they have failed."

Clearly. I realize Apple headlines get clicks but this blog post is hilariously myopic or sarcastic trolling or both. I'm still not sure what the author even means by "failed".

Apple is a business, not iKumbaya computer camp. Any realistic discussion of how Apple could "fail" as a company would not give that much attention to the Apple Watch and Apple TV. As symptomatic of problems as those products might be, if Apple is going to massively fail then iPhone/iOS is really all that matters. It dominates the company internally and externally.

Companies have ups and downs...People come and go. Of all companies, anyone aware of Apple's history should get this. Also if Apple fails who will replace its market share? Microsoft? Apple could in theory buy Microsoft tomorrow if it wanted to (doubt gov would let them).

I'm as annoyed as others about Apple product decisions recently (the latest phone and laptop released 1 month apart don't have compatible ports, ffs Timmy).

Sorry to say but a company can fail for you as their customer and no longer make and sell stuff that fit your needs, and that doesn't mean the company has failed. They are on a bad run lately but give it a minute. But if Apple does decide to break up with its prosumer segment of customers, its not you, it's them. It'll be OK.
Huh, what? What site do you get? I always get azlyrics which is a fairly simple and clean site. EVery other one I tried seems more bloated.

Obviously, there's many other factors at play. SEO is a complicated world, especially in such a crowded place as song lyrics. Though I noticed Google actually has an inline box for lyrics now which avoids the issue entirely.
I mean, sure, you can put like... text ads in an RSS feed, and I'm sure you can throw a tracking link as a link to click on in there. But unless you click into the page from the RSS feed, you aren't going to be picking up any stray cookies or have any scripts running on your computer. Browsing an RSS reader is very fast, and has very little bloat.
That's what I've heard too. Not that I've studied the science.
Interesting concept.. There are a few rough edges especially in the section following the start now button.. Also, your feedback page has broken links
Thanks, this is more clear and straightforward about where they got that number, though the relevant citation ends up being the same as in the longer document.

The evidence cited in that summary is the study 'Estimating the Harms of Nicotine-Containing Products Using the MCDA Approach'[1]. If you read that paper, I guarantee you will find yourself much less confident in the 95% harm reduction claim. Briefly, here's the method they employed:

* Convene a panel of "international experts" in a two day workshop.
* Ask each participant to separately rate how harmful they believe each type of nicotine-containing product is, on a scale of 0 (no harm) - 100 (cigarettes).
* Weight/average the scores and publish the results

In case anyone is inclined to think that counts as "evidence", be aware that the authors of that study don't:

"A limitation of this study is the lack of hard evidence for the harms of most products on most of the criteria"

They fail to mention in particular the lack of long-term evidence for some of the products, which have not been available long enough to properly measure.

In any case, I am aware that vaping nicotine is much safer than combusting tobacco (though I think the latter is a lot yummier). However, I found this to be an interesting case study in how a report can pull out precise and scientific-looking numbers like 95% and trust that people for the most part will take that at face value without looking into the scientific validity of the claim.

"It’s typical of incoming administrations to take down some of their predecessor’s pages, but scrubbing all mentions of climate change"

No, it's typical of incoming administrations to start over with a completely new site and send the old site over to the national archives for posterity. Which is exactly what Trump did, as did Obama and Bush (Clinton didn't, because his was the first).

Nothing was "scrubbed".

WebEx is not the worst but definitely among those which are considered the worst;-)

Currently my company uses Hangouts, BlueJeans, Zoom, and WebEx - don't know why there is no decision made.

In this context it is the worse - I tried to run it on Linux, like you said now that chrome support is gone, I can only launch the Java (swing - not Java applet for sure) UI via Firefox, end up with crappy slow GUI, no ability for screen sharing & viewing, no audio, utterly useless.

On Linux, web conferencing services that provide a lite (feature rich) version like BlueJeans and GoToMeeting (chrome extension and/or web version) are pleasant to use.

I personally prefer to use Hangouts if no such pure web version is available although Hangouts seems to have lost its gravity…
Just to further your point:

AMP pages can be tested and proven to load fast. There's no way to guarantee that a non-AMP page will be fast for a user. The way AMP is designed allows Google to inspect the source and determine whether the page meets the requirements or not. Caching the page guarantees that the content Google tests is the content the user gets.

Imagine if Google rewarded plain old websites the same way they reward AMP sites. You'd have sites gaming the system by hiding ads and disabling web fonts just to get ranked higher, then taking a crap on "real" users visiting the site.
Not really. In the US you have access to what your insurance company deems medically necessary. Not that different from other countries except that you don't get to vote on the people who ultimately decide what care you get.
At a previous company, my 100% remote co-worker spent all day in a Google Hangout and his team had a monitor in their area with the Hangout running. If anyone had a question, they could simply turn their heads or walk over to the monitor and have a regular conversation.

"For the NIMBYs, they are ok with #1. They desire that their city stays the same, it has the same architecture, unblocked vistas, the density they are used to, the natives they know."

... which is a totally reasonable, perfectly rational position. Further, it is a policy regime that has been achieved democratically.

Personally, I am very much in favor of infill. There is a lot of crappy two story housing stock in san francisco that has no charm and no aesthetic value and would lend itself perfectly to at least doubling of density.

But let's not talk about the opponents of this as if they are flat-earthers or white supremacists or something - their stance is just as reasonable as any other socio-economic-political view.

Heads up poker is precisely about equilibrium. Your straddle reference is also irrelevant, this is not live multiway poker.

"Tricking an opponent into thinking it has metaphorically thrown rock" extrapolated into a poker example would be betting larger/smaller, calling more/less, folding more/less than is optimal in a given scenario in the hope that your opponent makes a (bigger) mistake. You're simply hoping he makes more errors than you, the AI instead choses to just make zero mistakes and let the opponents do the rest.

Google Chrome's JavaScript Developer Console Bug
I don't mean this to belittle you but good ideas are a dime-a-dozen. As a person who both has good ideas and knows how to code I can tell you, form experience, executing a good idea is extremely hard. I'm not just talking about the code. The code is the second easiest part. The one where almost everyone trips up is business development and marketing.

Finding a coder who can solve the bizdev rubicks cube is as rare as a bizdev guy who can build an MVP on his/her own.

TL;DR no freelance coder is going to be able to execute both the code and the business plan, so don't worry. If they were that good, they'd already be rich and wouldn't be soliciting freelance gigs.
Well he was kind of a dirty bum.
Well. Vapers gonna vape :)

Nicotine is one of my favorite drugs, which is why I personally keep a safe distance from it. E-cigarettes may be worse for you than a glass of water, but I am pretty happy about all the lives they're saving as they replace regular cigarettes.

No. OPs have datastores confused with databases.

People used to get filthy rich (hi there Larry) building databases (which has all sorts of data access & management goodies) until 21st century came along and in the name of "progress" a hashtable with an HTTP interface was called a "database". Of course as nod to the said filthy rich guys from the 20th century we called them "noSQL" "databases" so as to let them continue to charge money from all those silly people in the 20th century that built their information systems on (the now "defunct" :) "databases".
I thought pycharm replaced git bash. I havent used pycharm yet, just thought that from reading about it.
You're now making a completely different argument. You started out claiming they intentionally break android to force you to upgrade every 2 years. Now you're pointing out they make a ton of money off android from revenues and search... which is exactly what I said. And not at all what you said.

I'm not sure what to tell you on the sdcard slot or how it applies to the discussion. I simply said the Pixel is a clear example of the rest of the android ecosystem not living up to Google's expectations of a premium phone. There will NEVER be a phone that is all things to all people, if an sdcard is a dealbreaker for you, don't buy one. I think it's ridiculous to claim you need 200GB of songs on your phone, but that's your choice. Of course, google will let you upload 50,000 songs for free over google music, so even that excuse doesn't hold water, but I'm sure you'll find another reason to complain.
The fact that it's an impressive feat of engineering is the main reason why I bought a mechanical watch (JLC). Besides, heck, we're talking about watches that can easily last 50+ years. And some even appreciate in value.
Yeah, this tech is definitely pretty amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of facebook so I'll bash them a little bit here -- their biggest success with this was envisioning it (or bolting on) the fact that the react model wasn't built only for the DOM. Originally React & ReactDOM were the same (maybe it was temporary), but when they started to target more platforms, they split them out and that's been a changer as you can see now.

Honestly I think companies that opt for a browser-based non-native UI do those for reasons that won't change just due to RN existing. Once developers get comfortable with RN, and start offering themselves as "we do native apps in half the time, give your users better-than-mobile-browser-site performance", I think the companies that were content to jam a webpage into an app will start improving.

Also note this article with a pretty good criticism of React (I find those are lacking these days): https://bitquabit.com/post/the-more-things-change/

tldr; Turns out react is a little bit similar to a thing called COM, but maybe we're better at this pattern now and things won't become spaghetti

This statement in the article...

"there is nothing in the PyPI package description that actually indicates what version of Python is being targeted"

is incorrect. There are Trove classifiers[1] for both versions, and indeed for every minor version number of both versions. There are even Python 2 and 3 classifiers that end in "Only", which look like they would exactly fit the author's use case.

Nicotine is odorless, as are propylene glycol and glycerin (the other components of the liquid).

Many liquids do have flavor components added, but odor is not an inherent part of vaping.

I don't follow.

As you said yourself, in most places in the U.S., a middle or upper-middle class family can afford to live in a home big enough for a family (which by global standards, is likely big enough for two or three families). And the home's in a safe neighborhood. What prevents this scenario from being great?

But yet it was also Bukowskis tenure as a 9-5 proletariat that gave him fodder for his first novel "Post Office" and his nom de gare "Chinaski" the mail carrier. It's hard for me to imagine Bukowski producing the work he did without having experienced the tension expressed in that medium blog post.

The story I heard is that John Martin agreed to pay Bukowski his Post Office salary for the rest of his life if he would quit and write full time.

1. How do you explain that your view is being downvoted, and mine, upvoted? This is the common understanding in the circles I run in. I think you may be the one whose definitions need an update.

2. For example, all employees at the VP and up level at Google, Facebook, etc., make more than a million dollars are year. It doesn't take long at this level of compensation to have more wealth than any reasonable person could spend. Yet they still work, normally not to satisfy an unmet financial need.

I ran a 2to3 last week on a codebase I've been working for the past six months. Took me one try to get that I was missing a flag. 'git diff' cured me of thinking it wrote anything, and I found '-w' shortly after.

I guess a masochist could do something like pipe 1 to 'patch -p0' or something…

I ran into the same unicode issues as the author, and dumped all the code that handled it because I didn't need it in 3.

I also reduced the whole codebase by some 150 lines because of not needing to do a bunch of extra work I originally designed in when working through the code. This was more due to fresh eyes.

ETA: the code was on 2.7 because a library I needed wasn't yet available under python 3 (FuelSDK from SalesForce) until November, and I completely missed this. 1.0 version supports py 3, but it wasn't in pip.
It's pretty interesting to look at research on this; it's not just SES and literacy. Nor is genetics to blame in many situations. I don't have access right now to the enormous pile of literature I have at home about this (printed on paper!!!) but as an example look at variation in wait time in emergency rooms, for kids, by race/ethnicity. To address your question about Hispanics directly in this situation, Hispanic kids waited 10.4% longer than white kids for care in the same emergency rooms. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2796312/

ED wait times are an interesting little side branch of study because they're a proxy for how people are treated by the medical establishment; they're not genetic or based on lifestyle choices; they don't rely on educational level etc.; and they're unconscious: no one in the ED is a jerk saying "let that person wait longer because of their background!"
And to further this point. You address the root causes of these issues in government and society. Why is the debate "Should we take away more of peoples privacy?" and not "How can we stop things from happening that create reasons to remove privacy?".

The logic is basically this: Terrorists now are communicating over encrypted p2p systems (or any new tech)! we need to backdoor encryption standards. Then! we will defeat the Terrorists (once and for all).

Crime works in a similar fashion. The police will never "solve crime" no matter how much power they have to invade your privacy. They will become great at catching criminals though.

Typical humans!

A reasonable reaction would be 'tell me about the difference it makes to your symptomology' and maybe helping the patient figure out a way to track this systematically. Likewise I would have thought that mentioning my extensive experience of psychedelic drugs (also now suddenly fashionable) would have merited something other than 'uhuh', such as questions about how the temporary improvement in mood manifested or how long it lasted. I manage to have very interesting conversations on subjects I know nothing about by the simple method of asking people questions about the domain knowledge they've acquired, and I doubt that any psychiatrist has ever lost their license for listening too closely to their patients.
If they were smart, they'd be working at Google, I guess.
That's not a custom skin... it's an app. And while I can understand complaining they didn't enable it on the 5x, if you REALLY want it, it's extremely easy to enable on a 5x.

I've used it exactly 1 time, and if my choices were a 5x or a Pixel and that was the only feature I cared about, I wouldn't spend the money in a million years to enable it.

Allo is useless to me, so I guess I don't really have any comments there. No desktop app? No multi-device? I'll stick with hangouts.

None of the things you mentioned would be worth upgrading for. And I REALLY don't think you're missing anything. The camera and the build quality are what make the pixel awesome. Assistant, night mode, and allo functioning slightly differently don't even enter into the equation on the price hike being justified.
