You seem to use 'populist' as a pejorative term. I would suggest that populism can be a good thing. I'm opposed to Trump, but not because he's populist. I'm not even sure he is a populist, since I don't believe he or his administration have any real concern for the democratic masses; they're riding a populist wave out they're out to gain power and wealth for themselves. This contrasts strongly with, e.g., the New Deal or Civil Rights reforms, which were real populism.
While the body cannot make Copper or other Elements, it can build some organic chemical compounds. This process is called anabolism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolism

I think where this is confusing on what are considered nutrients. Some nutrients can be built by the body, while others cannot. Essential Nutrients are those that cannot be built by human bodies. The Wikipedia page for Nutrients is pretty accessible and interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient
I'd trust a banker just as much as an ad exec (that is, not at all).
I'm going to pick that the answer is no, as having kids and sorting them out has the effect (on me and others I know) of hindering night time socialising and at the same time stopping you from wanting to go out at night.
I have a USB-C to USB-A hub and a USB 3.0 external HD connected via converter both connected to my LG 5k. No issues so far on either end.

My network is mostly 5Ghz w/ a Google Wifi
Right, most people using audio applications probably don't really care about 10 bit color.
I have zero faith in 1passwords engineering/security capabilities. They've been scooting by on "just good enough" for the last 5 years. They have introduced NOTHING new to the market in that time.

Someone will disrupt the market at some point and they'll be another has been because they've continuously been years behind of the market trends. I mean they literally just got into a SAAS offering and it had a hilariously botched launch; if you used their Win10 app (which you had to use to use their Family/Teams option) you COULD NOT LOAD A LOCAL PASSWORD DATABASE. For about 6 months I had to store all of my personal passwords onto my Team/Personal database because the win10 app did NOT have the ability to open a local password database. Now I've got 6 months worth of new passwords from my personal desktop stored on my work database and at some point I need to figure out a way to sync them together so I don't lose these passwords if I ever leave or so nobody else has access to them.

Absolutely blew my mind. Also, like you, I paid for the full app several years ago and here I am having to pay monthly, or yearly, I don't even know to get updates. I have zero idea as to how secure their online offering is.

Sorry, but this company makes me livid. If the other options weren't so terrible they'd be nothing.

Them acting like it's some engineering goddamned marvel to make their app work in Linux is just a slap in the face, especially considering how many people have made third party apps that can open their database in their free time.
Their PE ratio is over the top. I know Bezos reinvests profit, but that's always scared me, having invested during the dot bomb era. I stick to funds.
I have yet to see anyone try to advance a similar line of argument citing the past or present hostility existing between the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean peoples as proof that "East Asians" don't really exist and are merely some kind of social construct--let alone with the non-obvious corollary that the peoples wrongly socially constructed as "East Asian," not really existing as such, should therefore immediately open their immigration flood gates to the swarming masses of Africa and the Middle East.
Q&A with Tracy Young and Ralph Gootee of PlanGrid (YC W12)
Unless you suffer from a disease that prevents the absorption of copper, I would be very careful with supplements or copper-heavy diets. I made the mistake of (accidentally) following a diet that had a high copper content and would definitely not recommend having a copper overload. Two years later and I'm far from done from the recovery. Once copper goes up, it's hard to reduce it because it weakens the adrenals and impairs digestion and you end up with a chicken egg situation where you need the adrenals to reduce copper and you can't because you don't have them. Just follow a normal diet. The chances of having low copper levels are small, while the opposite happens more often.
My impression is the other way around... ish. Canonical tends to release their own solution to problems that the broader community is trying to solve, but not fast enough for their liking. Hence Mir before Wayland, upstart before systemd, etc.

You could call the broader community's refusal to adopt the Canonical solution NIH too, but my view is more that Canonical's shipped - but usually inferior for non-Ubuntu users - solutions prompt the community to stop trying to perfect their version's architecture and just polish and release it already.
DragonFlyBSD vs FreeBSD

Since Dillon was discussed in the article and given he split from FreeBSD 11 years ago ... which OS now is in better shape overall (technically)?

DragonFlyBSD or FreeBSD?
I chose not to shop at Amazon after returning to the US. To me it felt like the new Wal-Mart (which I stopped shopping at around 2009).

Their business practices are terrible and their boom has really hurt everyone not in tech in their home of Seattle.

They're another piece, but quite a large piece, in a consumption based world that's simply not sustainable. We are in a world today where we simply buy things, all the time. Companies like Amazon have a vested interest in ensuring we never stop making purchases.
How does Git Kraken fall short?
Fascinating, but take it with a grain of salt. One anonymous poster didn't just violate, but shredded and used as hamster mulch, their NDA to report iPad-with-a-keyboard? It's plausible, but I think most of us here could have written that comment as a speculative exercise.
I've gotten really into Slack recently.

I just log everything ye old fashioned way (text files) and then post anything important/noteworthy to a couple of Slack channels.

It's really easy to build custom integrations and Slack is running on all of our devices so as long as we are all subscribed to the relevant channels I can target @channel in my integration and we know straight away if something bad is happening.

I've use the ELK stack on previous projects, it works really well and isn't that difficult to use (there are some great guides on Digital Ocean) and when I get the time I'm going to set it all up for my current project too.

The only thing is you have to host it somewhere, and it's more justifying the budget for that.
Great questions and valid points. Every bit of data should be taken with a great of salt as no study is perfect. We've done the best possible to be statistically sound and disclose anything that may bias that.

Initially we started this survey out of our own interest so a few of those decisions are rooted from there.

1) Agreed, however we've already divided out the people who previously learned about private browsing. This leaves us with a cohort of users who have used private browsing, thought it protected them more and learned that it was wrong. It's very unlikely in any case that there would be positive emotions experienced. In our background research before the final survey we were only focusing on if users had a positive or negative experience. In this final major survey we wanted to get a better understanding of what those negative emotions were and so teased it out more.

I agree that a skewed set of options can bias a question but it is case-by-case. Example if I ask "how do you feel when your ice cream falls on the floor?" and the options are "Happy, Joyful, Amazing, Wonderful, Excited, Sad" you'll still likely pick sad.

2) A good point. This question is one that is linguistically challenging. We want to use phrases like "it only does X" to stress limits, but those can be misinterpreted. I agree you may see some shift if you ask the question as a feature list, but I think in the question we're looking at it would still fall well within the margin of error. I'm curious to run some tests on it either way!

3) We didn't release those in the whitepaper as they were broken down by browser since each browser has different feature sets. We wanted to keep this report agnostic of browser. We're not looking to shame anyone, we're trying to support the conversation around the education gap for the average non-technical internet user. They are telling us they want more privacy, and don't feel that it is being provided or explained well enough.

Overall, I really appreciate the feedback - it is more important than ever to question and discuss the things we see online. Hope this sheds some light on why we made the various decisions we did! :)
Thanks there! These are some progressive ideas to start.

There is https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe..., but I imagine would have to be cooperative effort with employers, e.g. remote offices in what were called "Enterprise Zones" http://www.nytimes.com/1985/07/28/us/reagan-urges-enterprise... in the Reagan Era.

Encourages me to at least attend a few city planning meetings.
more of an innovators dilemma problem imo. even if execs knew everything there is to know about CS its near impossible to change the ethos of a ~500billion revenue company
This isn't new. Honeywell monitor used inside Boeing 737 cockpit failed near WiFi as well. They discovered this defect when in-flight WiFi was introduced.

Indeed.

Dozens of immigrants ... coerced into giving up visas and green cards
Considering your views towards Muslims and willingness to ignore vast amounts of domestic terrorism, it seems like the goals of the 9/11 hijackers has been acheived.

9/11 is a valid date to start from because a large part of its shock value is that for the most part of post WW2 America, there weren't any foreign attacks on American soil. 9/11 was the anomaly, meant to provoke US outrage and further our violence against the middle East, convincing more young people that the US was an agressor and that they were the righteous. Clearly, these people are not righteous, but neither were we.
My Samsung TV does 2160p60+HDR and looks fucking incredible. I would use it as my main monitor if it were a little smaller.

Did you actually interview her for this paper? Where'd you find her? Can I ask her a few questions when you're done? I have so much I need to know from the average person.
You got it backwards.. First find the high paying job with remote opportunities.. then learn what you need. :)
if properly configured why not? What would stand in the way of implementing a secure containerized version of the workstation+gateway type setup?
While I agree it is popular in certain circles that use it in high volume, it clearly has a relatively small mindshare among developers and open source contributions. Linux, just the kernel, regularly gets contributions from 100x the people that contribute to FreeBSD base.

How are other people doing ES6 work with WebStorm?

I am a very happy Jetbrains customer (ultimate, paid in full).

Now doing nodejs work. (Not a fan, it's just a job.) Really want to use latest, greatest (eg await/async). I tried to make the babel plugin workflow thingie work. Bleh.

I'll give VSCode another shot. Last effort, I stumbled on the npm package.json support. The npm plugins I tried baffled me. (Again, not a fan of npm, it's just a job.)
I don't agree with the sentiment that doing something that benefits lots of people should be dismissed on the grounds that it was mutually beneficial.

The following is not meant to be critical - honest.

Why don't you channel your desire to be heard in to live interactions instead of an online one which is ultimately one way? It is much more fulfilling, and admitting/accepting that you don't deserve & need to share every thought that pops in to your head is healthy.
Well, when is the last time you (or anyone else) ever submitted a patch through GitHub? Answer: never. Check out the lengths the Git project itself has to go through to work around the busted GitHub-style pull request mechanism GitHub invented.

You can just use a base Ubuntu 16.04 image or greater. Creating a snap is very simple. Here's the source for snap-openstackclients: https://github.com/openstack/snap-openstackclients
The article starts "over the years, there have been numerous theories ... here's a new one." Then later, has the usual "other scientists say it's too soon to tell". The real problem here is the headline - but then, that's true of almost all headlines, scientific or not.
I've been using the CAF library for a while, and the experience so far has been very positive. It's surprisingly capable and flexible at the same time. The use of modern C++ in CAF makes your code very clean and idiomatic. Other C++ libraries of this kind are usually quite painful to use (because you know, most people think if it's C++ it has to be hard). CAF is a pleasant exception to this rule.
I was using the term loosely - not specifically the UK/Russia relationship.
The only thing that could've been done better was realizing that there wasn't a way to fix it earlier. The story was more told as to give an idea of the kinds of things a community can face.

The migration to Subversion was given as a case where core could've made a decision and given direction but chose not to. Whether they're right or not is a whole separate set of arguments.

I think everyone would be happier if Gamergate had never been a thing.

The trouble with FreeBSD, as stated, is that like a whole lot of other community projects it's largely volunteer and its leadership is 100% volunteer. If we had more mindshare we might have more volunteers but then we'd need leadership to be more active.
So... what happens when one runs "git grep foo" on it?
Interesting...100 or more years back, indians would regularly eat and drink from copper dishes & cups

No, it was legal because it was a requirement which overrode all lesser orders.

No law can compel you to break the law, or cover up abuses of it.
I am not disputing Nehruvian policies. I consider him an amazing visionary, unlike many other people. He had the guts to lay the foundation of a modern secular democracy instead of succumbing to divisions of Indian society. It was impossible to know in 1950 what will work and what won't. And at that Socialism was a model that was still being tried out in various countries. His vision had several pillars that, as you rightly laid out, have benefited India in the long run. And without the population jump from 300M to 1bn in 50 years, things would have slightly better. Fault mostly lies in future generation of leaders who didn't recognize the disadvantages of continuing this policies and failed to adapt.

My point is it's never the same. No two technological advances are the same. We should be celebrating the fact that labor-saving tech is freeing us from mundane jobs. The goods produced by those jobs will be cheaper for everyone. Technological progress always brings jobs that require more skill, yet somehow over the last two centuries we have always had room for unskilled workers.

Now, I'm not some heartless jerk who doesn't recognize that the short-term effects of job loss on unskilled workers. It is certainly a hard problem, but I'm still not convinced that we will have some epic labor shortage because all unskilled jobs will vanish too quickly.
Stop fearmongering and implying immigrants are naturally criminals.

Criminality us a result of being marginalized from society and not being able to work "honest" livings. You are forced to rely on your own group, pushed to the edges and fighting for its own.
That AC could be both right and wrong. He could be totally right about the existence of those prototypes, and I bet it's true (it'd be more surprising if Apple didn't have prototype ARM laptops floating around). But it doesn't mean he knows anything about actual plans to get these out the door. There are HUGE barriers to that happening at the moment, the cost/benefit ratio is extremely high. It sounds to me like this AC is correctly reporting the facts but incorrectly extrapolating his own story out of it.
* Database I/O is going to be a rate of knots higher than your average web app
* Bandwidth is going to be insane – 1 video sent to 10 friends = 11 times that video has to be sent.
* Video processing is a really expensive operation – they'll do more of this than you'd think
* While processing could be done locally, it'll be insanely slow compared to the cloud, and lining up expectations of iOS vs Android is a fairly complex task
The worst part of an iPAD is carrying it around.

Give me a foldable iPad that still has screen in both halves, but that is usable in landscape, and I will buy.

Appropriate haptics could make it work like a tiny laptop in portrait, but like a regular all-screen iPad in landscape.
That's true, but the convention for educated English speakers has it that it should be "you and me", or "us". They may have succeeded at communicating facts but they also conveyed some slight ignorance to some subset of people reading it.

Definitely wouldn't have taken the time to point it out, though.
> We repeatedly automated the majority of jobs on the planet every few decades and we saw the largest expansion of wealth and prosperity for the majority of humans in all of history.

A lot of that wealth was obtained by unsustainably extracting our planet's natural resources. The past 100 years have been good, relatively speaking, but we did it in part by mortgaging our descendents' futures for many generations to come.
Snaps aren't limited to Ubuntu. I'm not sure the extent of support but just to note that there is support for other distros: https://snapcraft.io/

They're a much easier way to package applications vs traditional packaging (ie apt, rpm).
Couldn't find the exact video, but great music. I needed some background music like this to listen to at work.

> people seem to have set their minds on it

You're not wrong, people are just stubborn?

> programming is not something you can "train" everyone into

Would you be as happy to conclude that teaching isn't something everyone can do?

If there is some general failing with the entire educational system, "immigration" won't fix that; but this is a tractable/solvable (if difficult) problem if foreign countries are able to produce good students.

> Its already there

Is it? What counts a "high", outside SV? Why are SV wages limited to SV?

I see this label on most electronic devices I own:

"This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation." [1]

If the display comes with that label, shouldn't that be enough to make LG subject to a class action suit, or at least a huge fine from the FCC? Or is the FCC another agency that's lost its teeth this year, along with the FDA and the EPA?

Does anyone have evidence of this? Not surprising or difficult, of course, but while watching ajax traffic and typing into a status box I don't see obvious posts with either the text I'm typing or obscured blobs. On the other hand, there's plenty of ajax traffic polling for updates and sending other analytics.
I just watched a documentary on the shipbreaking "industry" in Bangladesh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhIaEEW63Sc

It's horrifying, but I don't know that I can come up with a remedy. Clearly, these men don't have other job options, and with no job, they'll just starve. And if they don't take the job, they're easily replaced with another human who will. Zero turnover expense for the employer.

The profits are not really "trickling down." Five families control this industry, and they make enormous profits ($5 million per ship, which is a 100% return). The government is easily captured / bribed to prevent much pressure about working conditions. There's no tradition of a labor movement from which these people can draw from, they're uneducated and really when you're that poor you're only able to think about today, much less where your rights are in a few years.

And let's say Bangladesh did somehow make it too expensive / burdensome to shipbreak there. I hear Somalia has no laws, and lots of young men standing around who will join in.

You try to instead convince Germany to stop sending their ships to Bangladesh to be broken in these conditions. But now, German shipping becomes a more expensive business due to the disposal costs, and German shipping companies become uncompetitive against Chinese shipping companies which will happily shipbreak in Bangladesh. Germany loses its shipping industry either by relocation of the firms to a friendly jurisdiction or they just go insolvent after losing all their business to Chinese competitors.

It really is all a race to the bottom and I don't know of a solution.
Protectionism hurts innovation. If iPhones had been cheaper and easily available in India in the last decade, there probably would have been more software engineers in India building apps and creating new higher paying jobs than manufacturing.
I wonder if the edge case has been tested wherein someone turning 18 retroactively withdraws consent their parents gave when uploading information about them while they were minors. Taking photos of other people and data mining them, especially minors, seems like something that is very probably illegal in at least a few states. Would be very curious if on someone's 18th birthday they can actually force Facebook to delete everything they have about them.
