All you've done is name some big budget movies that sucked and a low budget movie that worked.

This seems hyperbolic - but I can really only remember obama's presidency for comparison, and I'm not quite educated on the actions of past administrations.

Is there a way to compare past administrations' actions with the current's without relying on others, so I can reliably evaluate claims like this while still being a relative layman?
I changed the oil myself the next time and they had the filter cover torqued down so tight I had to make a wrench out of an old timing belt to get enough leverage to remove it. The cap has a torque spec printed right on it that is much lower than whatever the dealer tightened it to.

The amazing thing isn't just the degree to which they make mistakes it's the frequency. More often than not they are doing the job wrong.
That's one of those things that sounds right only in hindsight.

Without the paper tape metaphor, the control flow for repetition might have been called "repeat" or "iterate". The word "loop" is nice and short, but it's an odd thing to say without the physical clue. The word didn't come up in my mathematical proofs class.

Instead of "patch" we probably would have said "fix" (we still sometimes do).

It reminds me the IRS scam... "I work for the IRS and you owe us taxes. Go to the closest 7 eleven and buy 10 Target Gift cards or the IRS will prosecute you. The only way to wave the charges is to BUY 10 TARGET GIFT CARDS. PM me all the numbers, I will tell the IRS to cancel the charges against you."

They don't give back code, but they do give resources.
Now we have to pay more taxes to reimburse monopolists who gouged us for decades because they can't gouge us any more?

> The actual outcome of an event does not depend on your expectation.

Of course :-). The actual outcome of an event doesn't much care what probability we assign to it. With diligence, the causality goes the other way, and e.g. about x% of the events to which we assign probability x% occur. If they're off by a large margin, we should revise our probabilities, because the universe certainly isn't going to change.
I use it at work. I am also a relative novice programmer (~2 years exp) so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Pros

- Dependency management is so easy and portable.

- I can write really concise code while keeping it readable (and dare I say aesthetically pleasing) with ParEdit. Compare this to Scala which tempts you to write gnarly and dense one liners. In clojure these are so unreadable that you feed compelled to indent them properly.

- Clojure feels like playing with Legos. Each individual piece is small and easy to understand, and it's easy to build something bigger by stacking them together.

- I have never once missed OOP

Cons

- ClojureScript is cool but for a production app I would rather not use it. Not enough availability of libraries and JS interop is not intuitive. When I'm debugging CLJS, half the time the stack trace is unreadable transpiled JS

- Proto Repl (atom plugin) does not consistently work right for me. I still have not found a good REPL workflow so I am frequently restarting REPLs which is just sad.

I've been meditating daily for about a year. Not what many people would think of as serious practice. Just 10 minutes at a time, a few times daily. I notice much less anxiety. Less depression, better mood. Easier to fall asleep. After only a few months, it became very easy to completely quiet my mind anytime, in a matter of seconds. My mind is quieter throughout the day. In particular, I hardly get into negative trains of thought at all. It hasn't changed my life or made me especially more effective, but it has made life far more bearable.

I've always changed my own oil, and at every 7500, rather than the insane 15000 BMW states for their service intervals. So while it was in warranty, I took advantage of the 15000 mile changes, and did my own in between. In hindsight, it's not even worth my time, and I won't be doing it again with a future car. Oil change is quick, and you can get 5L Liqui Moly for much cheaper than "BMW" brand oil.

"Dear Indian people, you suck at diversity."

"Dear Muslim people, you suck at diversity."

"Dear African people, you suck at diversity."

"Dear White people, you suck at diversity."

Why is one of these acceptable and the other three are not? India isn't a very diverse place, nor the Middle East, nor Africa. Yet I don't see anyone insulting those people. Seems like you're okay with racism, as long as it's called "diversity" and only talks about white people in majority white countries.
Considering the level of "skill" I've seen in these consultants (not enough to consider a decent sample size) I wonder how long it would take to get to expert level proficiency?
Something lots of car companies don't seem to get. If the service center has your name on it, its an advertisement. PR goes all the way down to the street.

"Usually" is quite correct. You basically have to prove there would be no hope of being able to pay it back without severe financial hardship, and the bar for hardship is fairly high. Even when some student debt is discharged in bankruptcy, it's often a partial discharge.

I hate guided meditation... to me this is complete opposite of what meditation should be.

You can do this initial few times, but after that, you don't need any voice but your own in your head. That is if you are really doing meditation, if you want to pretend... then headspace yourself.

Again, this is my view as someone who actually meditated for like 20+ yrs.

No one is debating the sporty performance of your VW. You dismiss all criticisms of them immediately and go on to talk about your lovely driving experience, making it seem like you either work for VW or have a vested interest in them, so your opinion instantly counts as worthless in my book. If a person had done what VW did they would be in jail, but because we as a society have determined that rich people are much more important than poor people, this will never happen.
Draft Trump Executive Order: Limiting Legal Immigration
I recently bought hydroponic equipment, including lamps, to grow herbs. So far I only turn on the lamps after dinner when I read or am on the computer. Probably won't use lamps during summer. Will try tomatoes if the herbs turn out well.
The guidelines explicitly ask not to comment on flagging (as you did above) or downvotes. Feel free to express your opinion on TechCrunch or the aforementioned author in a civil and substantive manner (perhaps taking extra care if you're worried you may be downvoted), but follow the guidelines. You're likely to get downvoted for that alone, rather than for the comment itself.

Actually, they can. And legally, they have to (or offer a refund), if the car breaks as much as that one did. I don't think you quite grasp the magnitude of the issues being alleged.

Right, good story, but totally different than the OPs story, where he had tons of problems and they were never fixed.

Same. I once got thrown out of a taxi in the middle of a busy street, halfway to my destination because I accidentally admitted that I didn't have any cash and he would have to run my credit card. (This was just a year before all the drivers spontaneously realized that card users tip better and the practice changed overnight. But it would still be years later before rides could be reliably found in the outer boroughs…)

The taxi system is — or was — indicative of all these weird east coast attitudes that I, as a westerner, find completely insane. All these awful inefficiencies and shitty attitudes baked that everyone accepts as normal because that's just how things are done. (Basic traffic enforcement is another biggie… the "Masshole maneuver," and New Yorkers blocking intersections or parking on sidewalks, landlords who would rather risk lawsuits than do inexpensive repairs…)

Although I have moved on from Uber for various reasons, I will be forever grateful to them for tearing down this horrible system. It sucks that some independent medallion owners are going to take a bath on their loans, but it was a terrible investment in the first place.
An insulation fault -- I'm surprised they didn't go straight to inspecting the high voltage harness. Seems like they could have done with some electrical design engineers in the service center.

No the numbers I listed were entries of each type in 2015. That doesn't include ones from previous years. You said immigration was controlled. The fact that roughly the same amount of legal immigrants came into the country as illegal immigrants in the year 2015 shows this is not accurate.

With your logic we might as well just tally up all the legal immigrants that entered the country and all the people that have been naturalized since the country was founded.

Europe was the West, then you have the Middle East, then the Far East (China, Japan). That was the whole world to them pretty much. When the Americas were discovered they were known as the New World, and eventually became known as the West as well (Due to the fact that most of our culture comes from Europe, eg. Western Culture).

Email is provided, by a third party (email service or, at the very least, domain name registry). Identity is inherent property of its owner.

I know a lot of people who don't know or care about DRM - just because both Netflix and Amazon aren't really available here (Netflix has maybe 10% of titles, not even House of Cards). However, all these people can and do binge-watch their favorite shows and movies by visiting certain websies that offer convenient HTML5 players, unencrypted downloads and apps for mobile devices and TV boxes. Region-locked content that requires special decoders and hardware still has to compete with relentless piracy.

I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have some sort of hobby. You seem to be excluding a lot of things with those qualifiers.
True, but internal combustion engines have had decades to be refined. Another few years of refinement of electric vehicles will, I think, tilt the reliability balance.
Dropbox Paper is fantastic. You can write Markdown, or use GUI menus. Inline code and code blocks are great, just like normal Markdown. Great for meetings notes, design docs, anything you want to share and collaborate on. So much nicer to write in than Google Docs. It is designed for digital, not as an MS Word clone.

I like writing in Paper so much that I use it to write things I'm not going to share via Paper. I actual copy and paste out of Paper into email or Google Docs when I work for companies that don't use Paper. I'll write things like READMEs in Paper first, before moving them to a .md file.

The UX is so well thought out. For example, the link creation is so simple. You copy a URL, like from the URL bar, then highlight the text in Paper that you want to be a link, and Cmd+V. The highlighted text will now be hyperlink to the URL on the clipboard.

The mobile app is handy too.

IMHO, using redux on a small to moderate sized SPA (ie - the overwhelming majority of SPAs), on a small to moderately sized team, under most circumstances, ends up causing more pain than it is solves, particularly for the first few implementations, and definitely during the pilot phase of an app.

"This might begin with Facebook’s V.R. experience. You slip on a pair of Oculus Rift glasses and sit in a virtual movie theater with your friends, who are gathered from all around the world. Facebook could even plop an advertisement next to the film, rather than make users pay for it. When I asked an executive at the company why it has not happened yet, I was told, “Eventually it will.”"

This is so profoundly implausible, I have to assume it is a paid advertisement from Facebook.
The 2 types of meditation that I practice I are mindfulness and concentration.
Mindfulness practice has enabled me to become aware of the arising of unskillful compulsions, the habitual patterns of thought which give rise to them and to halt their progress.
Concentration practice, on the other hand, builds the muscle of attention so that it becomes easier to stay focused and fully absorbed on whatever target you select.
I have found that the combination of the 2 has enabled me rewire less skillful habitual patterns of thought and to replace them with more skillful patterns.

This is exactly what I do, down to the oil. BMW made it really easy with the access flap for the drain plug and there are convenient jacking points on the subframe. The service calls for more than just changing oil but I'm not confident that the dealer even does all the "extra" things they claim. My car is due for a brake fluid flush soon, not sure if I will do that myself or have the mechanic do it.
I don't give a fuck about what Trump thinks. Nobody should give a fuck about Trump thinks.

The number one goal, the main goal, the only goal is to side-step all of his bullshit and get him out of office. Immediately.

> If you cannot remove that president ...

If your entire argument hingest on this, it's flawed. Presidents can be removed. Deal with it. Bill Clinton was impeached for a fucking affair. Nixon was impeached and removed from office over illegal wiretapping. Those things are hilariously trivial compared to what's going on right now.

> You guys claim to be better, yet you act exactly the same.

Nobody claimed to be better. In this particular case the anti-Trump crowd is on solid legal ground and Trump isn't. Take that as you will. He's breaking not just tons of protocols and precidents, which alone is grounds for discipline, but laws. Laws which require impeachment. Some even require charges.

How much is that "market for people who understand your software" worth? Sometimes those people are your competitors, using your own code plus local improvements (or "improvements") to sell against you. It's not as simple as saying you'll always win or you'll always lose. There are both opportunities and risks, which have to be weighed on a case by case basis. I've seen my own code sold against me too many times to believe permissive licensing is always the right answer.
They have a right to do that, and others have a right to advertise how much it pays to drive Uber, and if it's less than what people are willing to accept, make it more difficult for Uber to recruit.
