I currently use both, but I am thinking of switching fully to Resilio Sync. Given Dropbox disregard for proper security, I don't want them to run in kernel space (via a kext).

The only downside of Resilio Sync is that the sharing story is not yet great.
It blows my mind that approximately half the total costs of a game are marketing, especially for a series as big as GTA which presumably markets itself pretty well.
I think you're missing the point: it's not that the flavour of the breeds has gotten words, it's that the breeds with the more distinct flavours have largely gone away.

When there are less than a handful varieties widely available anymore and the breeds that made it were picked based on practical concerns rather than taste, it's pretty obvious why someone who experienced the full range of flavours might consider today's offerings quite bland.

Case in point: there is a wide range of apple breeds with very different flavours that was used for various dishes traditionally. Trying to use the same one or two breeds that are still widely available for the same dishes leads to naturally very different (and arguably inferior as the recipes were specifically created with those breeds in minds) results regardless of whether the apple by itself would have been any tastier.
De-extinction could soon become reality
No. Entangled particles don't interact at a distance.
I don't think so. My experiences with Dokuwiki is not great. Its WYSIWYG editor isn't integrated properly, switching back to Markup doesn't work without a page save, so a lot of useless clicks. Furthermore I wasn't convinced about Dokuwikis mobile interface, not even speaking of the inability to use the editor then.
It might be a good idea to start hoarding Toyotas, if you are so inclined, before the tariff erases the savings on maintenance and repair.
Maybe that's true, but not being on an economic advisory board isn't the kind of "active response" you're talking about.
thanks for spreading the love :)
Hacker News (February 19, 2007) predates Thiel's involvement in YC (Mar 10, 2015) by quite a few years, no?
Developing Realtime Multiplayer Games in Unity3D was never this easy
Self-indulgent arguments over technicalities have been a lifelong thing for me. My dad always told me I should be a lawyer. ;)

Seriously though, it matters because people are trying to pretend that there is some extraordinary abrogation of law, precedent, or process here, when indeed there hasn't been. There's just a bunch of malicious people with a megaphone trying to scare other people so that those people will be duped into doing their dirty work, which has a real potential to grow not just disorderly, but violent.

I really don't know much about whether President Obama's immigration orders were wise or not either, but I would've made equally self-indulgent arguments in his favor if people were also trying to incite mass panic over it.

Lambda was designed to be functions that run in response to an event. An item being put on an SQS queue is an event. The clock ticking over to the next second is an event. There is no reason why a lambda should not be triggered by these events.
I don't really care who supports whom. If you vote Trump and use your company resources to feed the orphans then I'm going to patronize you anyway. Results, not intentions.
While in principle I agree, I'm afraid that when it comes to supermarket goods, they are really tasteless and age has nothing to do here. Do a simple experiment: get generic strawberries from a supermarket and fresh ones from a garden. You would be amazed by the difference, it's like a totally different thing. Same goes for pretty much any fruit or vegetable.
Thanks! Not to nitpick, but are these in any particular order? If not, may I suggest lexical?
Have you looked into nHibernate's support for .net core? It was always more flexible than EF anyway, I've been watching EF slowly fix their design mistakes to be more like nHibernate since version 1.

Right. And that's the model that needs to change to reflect reality.

Yes, but I don't see how that addresses my point?

> Corporate bonds are a relatively safe way to lend.

There are multiple safe ways to spend, my point is that spending up front more accurately reflects the costs in the current system.

Ah, Godwin's Law. I hope when you reflect back on these times in a year or so you realize how childish it was to compare stopping some Muslims from some unstable countries (not even the big Muslim countries) with literally exterminating Jewish people and blaming them for all of the country's problems.
Expecting everyone to jump through the hurdles you describe is why we're in this terrible state we are in today. It's just not practical, affordable, or even possible for many.

$38 is a lot of money to a lot of people. Some people just simply don't have a safe storage space either.

"Complete" ban on any excess over 50,000 refugees within FY2017.

Like Mo Farrah, an olympic gold medal winning athlete and British citizen?
Assuming that you already know that Lyft also "broke the strike" in exactly the same way as Uber, Uber is paying for the earnings of Uber drivers trapped out of the US by the ban, and also set up a $3M legal fund to directly help any drivers that have troubles. How does that stack up vs the $250k/yr for 4 years that Lyft donated to ACLU?
When has appeasing ever worked as an instrument of social change?
Tomatoes and chickens and pretty much all American agriculture is bred to maximize profit at every step. This means eschewing things like healthfulness and tastiness in favor of volume of product, heartiness, and low production cost.

I highly recommend the book The Dorito Effect to anyone more interested in how the flavors of food have changed over time. Despite the fluffy name, it's a very well-researched and well-written book.
Copyright has already been incorporated into capitalism. It's already part of the model. Intellectual property is just another form of property.
Framing is not just the executive order, but also the narrative around it, and the manner in which it's presented to Americans. That's why the comments Trump made on the campaign trail are important.

The narrative is that America is under siege, and that we are in grave danger of terrorist attack. The only way to stop is to take extreme executive action, and to frame our national security policy around fighting ISIS.

Consider, as an example, the hasty nature of this executive order. It went into effect immediately, and refugees previously approved for entry had that approval revoked. Was there really something so urgent that happened on Thurs Jan 23rd that required immediate action? This is a similar strategy used by the Bush Administration, where the government uses the spectre of terrorism to justify actions completely disproportionate to the threat.

The question I would ask apologists of the travel ban is this: what was the real, imminent threat that required such a hasty executive order to be made on Jan 23rd? Is it a real threat, or is it political theatre for another purpose?
For the tech industry, this is gonna be harder to navigate than the upcoming regulations on visas and h1bs. I don't even want to think about all the refactoring and rearchitecting to provide data segregation on multi-region. What a mess.
> it's exceedingly difficult to fill certain positions without looking abroad

Why not train people to fill those positions? That then creates a process for filling the positions again in the future, instead of having to constantly return to the job market.

It also gives employees a career track and aspirations, instead of having outsiders ( irrelvant whether from other companies or countries ) air-dropped into juicy positions.
Not an option if public transport is not great in your city.
I honestly don't care about taxi drivers and reject the idea that they hold some moral ground. I'm glad they're all going out of business. And if they decide to hold a strike, there's zero reason for Uber or Lyft to want to be beholden to them.
It's pretty easy here in California, as we have a ton of agriculture in-state.

There are several states where the fruit n' veg selection is pretty sparse in the winter, though.

Wild Planet's tuna, in particular, is really, really good. If you like fish, you should give it a try, if you can find it.
Same with public services, right? Some states prohibit strikes, but as far as I know that just means fining the unions. I'm not aware of any US jurisdiction that compels individuals to perform labor (excepting things like military conscription and community service sentences for crimes).
Why protest an issue that affects innocent people by creating another issue that affects innocent people? This is not persuasive and only leads to further disagreement against the actual movement. Creating more friction is not the way to motivate change.

Immigration/border officials going on strike and refusing to follow the ban order would be much more effective.

Sorry —

I want you to rent out your car to me through the service. I'm going to hit a deer with it, or maybe a bear. You'd then have another reason to communicate with the service provider, right? They couldn't ignore you then.

Exaggerated, but I think you get where I'm going.
I haven't. I've been "loyal" to EF since the LinqToSql days, though I did use NHibernate heavily about 10 years ago. My main draw is the quality of the tooling and the nice EDMX model designer. The other draw is Linq support for compile-time type-safe queries (which I've noticed are compiled into good SQL with less mangling than I'd expect).

I am guilty of not staying on top of trends outside the MS camp. I does NHibernate now offer parity with EF? I just don't want to write SQL/HQL in strings.
It makes more sense if you've read Stephenson's Diamond Age ;)
Psychedelics are an investigators dream. They are safe in reasonable contexts and usage, while producing profound changes in consciousness that can be readily studied. All in the relatively well-understood context of neurotransmitters and receptor regulation.

Entire fields are based on chemicals that have specific physiological effects. When combined with genetic work, great progress can be made. And here we have a whole suite of compounds with both widely different and subtly different effects.

The prohibition of their use in research has hamstrung research in this area for decades.
It seems highly unlikely to me that Kalanick has any ability to influence Trump/Bannon's policy in this area. But I'd like to address to aside you made about "legitimacy".

GP talked about legitimizing policies. That is quite different than questioning the legitimacy of the electoral vote.

Trump signed an order that was illegal, apparently, to lawyers and laymen alike, because it authorized revoking legal permanent residents of their right to entry into the US without due process. Federal judges have ruled this to be the case, and yet for unknown reasons certain Border Patrol/Homeland departments are defying that order (which is not in keeping with their legitimate authority).

It's substantially likely to be illegal even without that exclusion because it includes discrimination based on the Christian faith of residency applicants.

The Constitution is the source of the legitimacy of presidential orders, and this policy is in multiple ways incompatible with that.
>nobody does an ounce of research anymore

This is true of the vast majority of activists in any political cause. Most join as social signaling to their community that they are "one of them". Case in point, almost nobody interviewed for occupy Wallstreet could even agree on what the goal of the group was.

Particularly in this case, showing support is literally as simple as installing an app that does almost the exact same thing as another app. "sure, I'll do that and post to Facebook about it to show how forward thinking I am"
Peter Thiel is a part-time partner of YC. "Peter-Thiel backed YC" is putting it a little strongly.

I fully accept your take on this, I'm just wondering if the downsides could be mitigated by targeting a layer back from the production itself, and instead towards the graphics houses, and not making it a pay for work service, but a pay for access library, similar to scientific journal access (a loaded comparison, but imagine a less controversial system than Elsevier). If it's access to thousands of models of various levels of detail for a flat price, and it's always growing, then maybe it gets treated by Adobe CS or MS Office for those places where it's useful. You pay for it because it's cheaper than the alternative, and since you are doing paid work and running a business, pirating it isn't worth the risk.
My old coach used to say that anyone can win a medal at a national event if they just want it bad enough, and I think he's right. You can become top 3 in any area if you just want it bad enough. But the problem is, it guarantees a life in poverty unless you manage to become top 10 in the world, compared to taking an average job with an average salary.

Say someone invested 3 years to get competent enough to work on that plant, then he doesn't get a job. Now what ? It's not like his turbine blade expertise will be useful working as a expedite in a supermarket ...
First they came
lol it completely confirms it. The strike ended at 7pm, surge was lowered at 7:36pm.

Les Schwab has provided consistently excellent service to me over the years. I can't speak for other tire places but of the four Les Schwabs I have done business with I have never had a single problem.

From my personal experience dealers are much worse than tire shops but I'm not going to claim that's true in general.

It is kind of silly to blame Amazon for not paying sales tax. The legal obligation was on the buyer, not the seller, in out of state purchases. No company in Amazon's situation was paying sales tax.
Don't want to sound like I sound, but this might be the end of the Internet as we know it.
Perhaps that was the wrong word. "To bring about peace" is the definition I was going for.

Either way, this is not going to solve anything.
You're right about that[0] but I'm holding Uber to the fire nonetheless to send a message. It's a positive one. The same link also has plenty of reasoning why Lyft > Uber. This will be a big lesson for everyone, Peter Thiel notwithstanding. Trump is bad for business and now Uber is going to take the hit.

That's only because more people have summer houses there (it's a tradition in most/all Eastern Europe) and grow vegetables themselves, so it's easier to come by naturally grown ones. Buy generic tomatoes from a supermarket, and the they'll taste bland as everywhere.

Oh I like that movie, man haven't seen that in a while. I don't know, what makes something "real" or "more genuine"?

Tldr; I'm an architect (in a niche industry) trying to get a job in another industry but find myself constantly rejected for either having not enough experience for a similar architect/lead role or being overqualified for a lower role (i.e. dev, support, etc).

I've been in the telco industry for 12 years where I started as a systems tester, became a support engineer, got into a lead role for a team of support engineers (i built the team from scratch at a startup!) and eventually ended up as an architect for a vendor (think Cisco) where I do pre-sales, architecture design and lead the onshore/offshore teams to deliver client projects.

Early last year, I noticed a big shift in my industry to Managed Services and knew that it is a space I need to get myself involved in if I were to stay relevant for the next few years. Unfortunately, the company I am with is neither in this space nor have any plans in the future to be in it hence I started to look around for jobs at other companies in this space. After 3 months in, I'm now feeling utterly perplexed.

I tried applying for lead/architect roles and was rejected (without even going to the interview stage) being told that I don't have enough experience or expertise. Fair point I guess since I'm in a niche industry thus I started looking at roles that allow me to start at the bottom (i.e. dev, support/operations, customer success). Even then, I keep getting rejected with the common trope that I don't have enough experience or I am either overqualified and/or will not be a good fit for the team!

I asked my professional network for some inputs on the matter and I've been told that I'm in an age group (30-40) where companies are not that keen to hire cause I'm considered too old (ageism). Is this possible? I'm barely in my early 30s so I find that very strange cause I don't consider myself old at all.

So, have any of you ever been in the same situation and do you have any advice on how should I overcome this?
what can Uber do? They can't update their app just for a strike. Apparently they could turn off a surge and that's what they did.
Uh, plant patents are one of only a handful of patent varieties (in the US), and they exist specifically to cover new breeds. This is very much a patent-able breed, and much more easily enforced because it's a well characterized bit of law, whereas the 'gene patents' only got by on a technicality of requiring cDNA intermediates.
Upcoming Trends in Artificial Intelligence in 2017
How substantive is it, in the grand scheme of things, whether Uber lifts its surge pricing at 7pm or 4pm or 1pm or never. That truly is an implementation detail. I am not hand waving or being reductive -- do you really think that that anything Lyft does to show its solidarity with immigrants holds any weight with Thiel being where he is?

There is no meat to the bandstanding outrage at Uber. It's all posturing. Boycott Uber for breaking the strike (sic) and also boycott Lyft for its Trump ties.

That's hard though, let's just boycott the black Uber brand. The pink moustache is kinda cool.
How do we know when to take Trump literally or not? When he says "build the wall", does he mean a literal wall or a figurative one? When he said he has a plan to defeat ISIS, or a plan to replace Obamacare, is that a literal plan?

Are we cherry-picking his words based on what our personal ideologies are? Are we rationalising?

The fact that he lies blatantly without any regard for consequences (or remorse) makes his message even more muddled. Is this a hallmark of a great leader?
Probably sleeping right now, the lazy bastard!
Thanks for linking to that! I wish news outlets would make these primary sources more directly accessible. It's great to read her words directly and in context.

That doesn't sound like a case at all. She cites no law nor any Constitutional provision that may be violated. She provides no citation to case law.

She states that the order "has been challenged in a number of jurisdictions" and that DoJ has a "solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right", which apparently is depriving the duly-elected chief executive of a fair legal defense to present in those challenges based on the acting AG's personal opinions.

She implies that "statements made by an administration or it [sic] surrogates close in time to the issuance of an Executive Order" may play some role in some type of illegality, though this clearly violates accepted standards of judicial interpretation, which consider the law as written, not the extralegal public statements of people involved in its development.

Let's call a spade a spade here. No one can seriously believe there is a strong legal argument for her conduct or that it, in any way, represents typical or expected behavior for the head of DoJ, which is a division of the executive branch under the President's authority and jurisdiction.

Ms. Yates is simply grandstanding and taking advantage of an opportunity for positive personal publicity and negative publicity on a political opponent. In her search for exposure, she adds fuel to the nefarious fire that seeks to threaten the integrity of American democracy, promoted by mainstream media outlets who absolutely cannot stand that people are using the internet to escape their chokehold and would rather see the whole country burn than lose their ability to control the propaganda diet of the average American.

I think I understood the part where the US no longer a good place to store data, and that there are no proper privacy laws protecting foreign citizens' data that is stored on US soil. So basically, if you still want to have a proper privacy policy, GTFO your data to non-US servers ASAP.

Anything else? Something I've gotten wrong?
This sounds so bizzare to an European.

Here you leave the car at the dealer, go to the reception and ask if they will be providing replacement car or have a preferred rental company.
Gosh. Not that I can afford a Tesla here in Australia, but even if I did, I think I'll just stick with Mazda and Subaru - no issues whatsoever with the former, and only minor stuff on the latter which has been properly dealt with.
Precisely; I feel there may be some insight as to why SSRIs appear to reduce the sense of entropy pervasive in anxiety and depression. Or from a more Slate star codex perspective, why antidepressants sort of seem to do more than they seem to do.
It was designed by Tetsuya Tada at Toyota. Toyota had a complete concept car they were showing before they asked Subaru to get involved. Subaru ended up contributing the engine, but the rest is largely Toyota. They are built by Subaru though.

That's preposterous, he's in charge for the next 4 years and nothing (even impeachment) will change that, since he'll just get replaced and his agenda continued. This "legitimacy" and "normalization" talk is just as post-factual as anything Trump ever said.

Is Bernie a fascist for saying he would work with the Trump admin on the good parts of his agenda?
