As much as people say they hate how much social networks track them, it's really the thing that makes them work so well. The more info Facebook has on you, the better it can work for you. A privacy-oriented social network isn't social at all, it's...4chan. It would basically just be a forum, and we have plenty of those already. You could go minimal privacy, but then where is the line drawn?

People want to be able to find their friends, so you need some way for discovery to happen. If there's no tracking locations and relationships, then how do you do it? Usernames are the only privacy-concious way to accomplish that, and then you've just described MySpace. Facebook works because when you drunkenly befriend someone at a party, you can find them the next day online. It's bootstrapped discovery. Like it or not, that's what most of the world likes about Facebook.

Google almost solved this problem with G+, but they did it by scanning your email contacts. Is that still a privacy breach?
TypeScript async/await helps a lot with this. Type safety plus async ops. Awesomeness.
Most comments don't give you a right perspective. Its really not protectionism, or socialism.

India started out very badly after Independence. It had nothing to show for, infact very little in terms of a trained workforce, quality human resources, industries, scientific enterprise, economy or anything for that matter. By the time British left, they had looted India to the very last paisa.

The first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru had a great vision and equally good execution abilities. They faced a near impossible task of uniting a already politically, ethnically and linguistically divided nation. They federalized India on the lines of language, thereby uniting it under one union. They set institutions going for sound administration and bureaucracy.

Beyond all these political problems there is problem of nation building. Or Growth as you would call it. To build quality infrastructure you need taxes, to collect taxes you need industries, to build industries you need trained human resources, to get trained human resources you need to build good universities and academic institutions. You realize you are stuck is a chicken-egg problem.

The only solution most post-colonial states employed was to incrementally move upwards by building self reliance and capability. 5 year planning commissions were common.

The corner stone of Nehruvian economics was:

1. Build quality educational institutions.

2. Quality educational institutions build quality human resources.

3. Establish state owned(or partially at-least) industries to develop indigenous, manufacturing, research and production capabilities, in all walks and branches of economy.

4. Use 2 and 3 to eventually build private enterprise.

5. Collect taxes using 4.

6. Build infrastructure and other things in 1. and 2. using taxes collected so far at 5.

We were in the process of 'getting there'. Irrigation networks were laid, nuclear weapons were built, space programs were in motion. In fact India had indigenous presence in everything imaginable. However the politics of India was never stable.

Beyond all this 'capitalism' suddenly got fashionable. Why work and build indigenously when you could just pay and import?

In fact most of India's current predicaments arise out of abandonment of Nehru's path. We can't seem to build anything good. No good roads, no planned cities, no safe drinking water, frequent power cuts... the list just goes endless.

Sure you now have cheap mobile phones and internet. But a city like Bangalore was a heaven to live in during the times of Nehruvian economics. Today you reach home from office with a lot of dust in the mouth.

Ironically the same people who admire freeways, dams and social security in the US, which are the outcomes socialist policies. Hate the same in India.

In fact most people in India have barely a clue what socialism or capitalism actually mean. Except that they know if they hate something that automatically gets classified as socialist or communist.

EDIT: Looks like anything positive about Nehru is a magnet for downvotes.
I did this maybe a year or two ago. I un-followed all of my Facebook friends. No more Facebook updates, no changes to any of my relationships (e.g., nobody gets "unfriended",) more time to focus on my own stuff.

And you can re-follow people any time if things get quiet.
That still only solves half the problem with large binary blobs.

The other half is that almost all of the binary formats can't be merged and so you need a mechanism to lock them to prevent people from wiping out other people's changes. Unfortunately that runs pretty much counter the idea of DCVS.
They have KVM images as well, and KVM was the suggested model on Linux last time I looked.
I keep my social media accounts locked down and off search engines, so I was surprised to see my name, photo and a link to my profile appearing in a Facebook list of people with my name when I self-Googled. The problem seems to apply to localized versions of FB (it-it, en-gb) so it is probably a bug.

Google Plus had a similar problem, but for much longer. Even though my account was locked down, the people who had me in their circles were showing up in Google search results for my name, so I deleted my Google Plus profile, and advised my friends and family to do the same.

I nuked my Pinterest profile after it was scraped despite being locked down.

FB also did something rather disturbing the other day that reminded me why vigilance is critical. It generated a (private) music video about my friends, but freakily, the person who it started up with was a secret crush -the attraction was mutual but never went anywhere-from 15 years ago (we became FB friends a few years later). The two of us don't interact much on FB, so it must have inferred this based on her ongoing views of my profile, or vice-versa. My wife has no idea about this crush, and is friends with the other person. Our circle of mutual friends does know about it, but has kept it secret for years. Having it appear on my FB timeline would have been awkward, to say the least.

There's more to life than cheap consumer goods, though.

Brazil isn't doing too bad, and they have the 7th largest economy in the world, and perks like universal free healthcare.

Hard to say for sure if import taxes and more expensive consumer goods are hurting more than the increased number of jobs are helping.
>We can tax the productivity from your automation.

The types of people who would consider a socialized universal wage are not the types of people you just elected in. So no, protectionists aren't going to do this. They'll just give the spoils to corporations, who they are indebted to to stay in office and who ultimately produce the erroneous talking points you parrot. Trump isn't pulling the Frank-Dodd act or removing environmental regulations for you, your job, your community, or the middle class. He's doing it to please the wealthy elites who will personally benefit. These policies won't "create jobs."

>Failing that, we can replicate it and break the patents for it.

That wont work and then what? This is the path to a command economy that won't work either. You can't just hand-wavey some kind of robotic utopia powered by taxes.

>There are no new jobs coming.

Obama's time in office saw the creation of 15m jobs. We're dying for talent at my employer and constantly hiring. But no, we don't want high school dropouts who think they're entitled to subsidized wages for lazy 'make work' rural jobs. You're not entitled to a job. You have to earn it by being competitive and learning in-demand skills just like everyone else did all through history.
In another example of America's fluidly morphing standard of whiteness, Finns were sometimes considered Asians:

"Finns faced racial discrimination, with many people using the Finnish language as “proof” that Finns were not European and thus fair game to be subject to unfair treatment. Some argued that Finns were Asian, meaning they should be barred from citizenship under the Asian Exclusion Act of the early 1900s. The word “Finlander” was used as a slur, along with “China Swede” and “roundhead.”"

Awesome! Datastore connector, please!! Cloud Datastore is the ideal NoOps and Serverless storage solution for projects from small to large. It would be great if you can build a connector for it.
> Turns out it's not so hard, and it's the fear of reduced social contact (or dopamine withdrawal more likely) that was stopping me. If you have a plan to replace the social interactions with other forms, you realise that the rest is just dross.

This is the problem for me right now. I don't have a plan for replacing the social contact of facebook (and facebook isn't giving me anywhere close to what I need). I'm also struggling with depression right now and pretty socially withdrawn. As soon as the current blues pass and I'm able to come up with a real life third place [1], I hope to start limiting how much time I spend there and eventually quit altogether.

It's not to great a leap to imagine this happening in a very restrictive culture where possession of the wrong religious text could be considered criminal. Or a deck of playing cards. A cassette tape of music. Alcohol or Cigarettes. etc.

That sounds great. Could anyone explain what the differences between the two would be?
That's just a screensaver.
I could not make myself play any of the DLC because I'd already finished the game. For me, the characters' arcs were already concluded, and in a way that left such a bitter taste in my mouth that I didn't want to revisit any of it. I really did love the characters and the universe, which makes it all that much worse.

Seriously, that's one of the bigger straw man posts I've read in a while. Sure, I'm confident that somewhere on the big, wide Internet claims such as those listed by the author can be found. And some folks seem entirely convinced that the Earth is flat.

You want "bashing"? C#'s got nothing on, say, php. C#, AFAICT from circles I pay attention to, is loved far more than it's hated. But, as someone else in this comment section pointed out, it's a hell of a way to generate clicks.
Because a majority of the new hires are working in fulfillment centers or delivery roles that scale easily.
I feel like it should be clarified here that async/await is not exclusive to TypeScript, but a ES7 (?) feature that is also available if you use the Babel transpiler.

Having type safety is great of course, but it might be too heavy to add if you just want good async handling.

I recently sent round an event-organising email and slipped in the facebook thing. Not everyone who replied mentioned it, but everyone that did said that they were thinking exactly the same thing.

And if you need an extra kick, you can download an archive all your data. It had previous girlfriends, employers, places I signed in, private messages, ad agencies they passed my details on to, etc etc. All stuff I'd rather let fade away, but I know it never will.
It appears that Trump's CBP is significantly different from Obama's though. Where CBP had the option to stop travelers and didn't exercise it in the past, they're now doing so more frequently (at least for the subset of travelers in targeted countries).

This is the problem with giving wide latitude to a trusted administration - it doesn't stop there.

I think most would intuitively attribute that to sleep restoring energy levels so the baby feels better, not anything to do with memory.
The Bible and Quran share the same DNA. There's no difference between any type of religious extremism, just as there's no difference between any group of humans. The difference is context, and in the case of the Middle East the socioeconomic context is crushingly awful. Much of this (shoutouts to the Hypernomalization mention above, which I can't seem to reply to, excellent documentary) is even a result of more powerful, "Christian" nations.
> Why can't they? Offer easy entry, and the promise of a high salary, and more people will want to do these jobs. If everyone got to do what they wanted, we'd have a surplus of firemen and veterinarians, and few accountants and garbage men.

I'm not gonna argue too much on this since people seem to have set their minds on it. Having personally taught in American high schools as part of various outreach programs...I can say that, no, programming is not something you can "train" everyone into. Sure, there are some with aptitude for it, others without it who do want to learn and can be "trained" as you say. But you need to rethink the whole public education system from a very early stage to make it easier for students to be good learners and ultimately good programmers.

> easy entry, and the promise of a high salary

Its already there, yet....crickets.

This is true, that is why I only eat the "skins" of modern pennies if I don't have any old ones. The inside is where all that nasty zinc comes from.
This reminds me of the problems the PHP project faces. It has the same lack of leadership and just goes by consensus, with the same problems (i.e. little gets done when hard decisions must be made; the system for voting on things has helped a little, though, because it means people who are bold can sometimes get things in). There was also an attempt to adopt a code of conduct and, in its failure, it exposed why the project could benefit from one in the first place.

I suspect a lot of open-source projects have similar issues.

I was just saying a couple of months ago what a game-changer the Quicksight pricing would be[0]. Next time data visualization comes up for me, my first move will be to compare these two options and see if Quicksight offers any additional benefits over Google Data Studio.

But I can happily say, I'll not have to have another conversation with my boss about adopting an expensive data visualization tool.

No matter what you do (or your dentist does), if you have bad lymphatic circulation, any sinus infection has potential to turn into a root-pulp infection necessitating a root canal. I've had five of those—and no cavities—in the last four years.

I finally decided to research the problem, and ended up taking diosmin (not for any of its on-label uses, but simply by the logic of its pharmacodynamics: it increases lymphatic flow rate, like blood thinners increase blood flow rate.) Eliminated a bunch of other circulation problems I never really realized I had at the same time.
Anybody that studies Carl Jung work on dreams will understand how superficial this theory that tries to explain sleep as forgetting is, and how this theory fails to account for symbols and archetypes that show in dreams, also any event can be remembered by hypnosis so nothing is really forgotten with sleep.
This is a good start, but for those not entirely embedded in the ecosystem, it's unreasonable to expect exposing a Postgres DB without SSL. I'll stick with Tableau for now.
well, its healthy to reflect on our past and try to do better in the future; it is not so to reflect on our past and use it as a means to punish us in the now or in the future.

The trouble stems from thinking you should have done something, and did not, and that you are somehow infallible. In truth, there are a lot of things one COULD do, but few are absolute SHOULD's.

My cat died very recently - and I've been working through the thinkings of if I could have been a better owner, if I reciprocated his unwavering love enough, if I could have caught his sickness sooner, if I was "good enough" and so on.

And yes. There ARE things I could have done differently. But I'm also a human being, and am not a saintly creature without fault or error or oversight. So to expect this ideal from myself in response to what I see as a faultless cat, is cruel punishment to dispense to oneself.

There is a solution that can help you get here, and it worked for me: unfollow everyone and everything.

By unfollowing everyone except a handful of boring sites that barely ever publish anything, my newsfeed has become very boring and I rarely feel the pull towards it or any of its addictive power. The end result is that when I do log in, I only see notifications for a couple of groups full of my friends or interests that are truly relevant and I don’t waste any time scrolling.

At this point in my life, Messenger (not from the main site, but from its own site) and Groups are quite convenient, and both are a bit necessary for me at the moment, so I can’t quite disable Fb, but I’m very happily giving up on the feed for good.

I might eventually quit altogether, but this method has worked for me quite well for the last few months.
Drives store analog information and only present it in digital form to you. So a 1 might be a 0.8 and a 0 might be a 0.2. Writing all ones might turn bits that already were "1" to 0.9, while leaving bits that used to be "0" at 0.8.
No, this is net adds.
GA may be "an order of magnitude" more dangerous if you are already very sick or have it administered by a non-specialist. In the hands of someone who knows what he is doing, the risks are orders of magnitude lower than even crossing the street to go to work every day.

There are two main real reasons why a dentist prefers to go without GA:

- no need: most dental procedures are minor, and well-conducted local anesthesia is sufficient. Unfortunately, dentists often underestimate the pain and anxiety generated by some of their actions.

- not alone anymore: if you want anesthesia, you have no other alternative than getting a specialist, who will have to be paid. Furthermore, the anesthesia provider will interfere in care decisions if required, making him a pain for the dentist.

So yeah, mainly money...

I love FreeBSD, and I felt like the author of this article does too. It didn't come across as a rant to me, but rather an explanation, and some constructive criticism, of what the author thinks the FreeBSD project could do better.

As with all constructive criticism, you absorb what you feel will help you reach your goals, and reject what doesn't. It is always a good thing to have those insights and options though, I think.
The analysis of the images isn't meant for the users, it's so Facebook knows what's in them. Adding a user-facing interface is an easy-to-add toy for users and an attempt to recruit them into improving training data.

And in getting them to apply morality in a more uniform matter, sometimes it's easier to address morality by way of self-interest than morality directly.

I had a medium sized project in Ruby on Rails as git repo inside vm.

It was slow to do 'git status' and other common commands. Restarting RoR app was also slo. I've put repo on RAM disk which made the whole experience at least few times faster.

Since all was in vm that I rarely restarted I didn't have to recreate files on ram disk all that often. I was syncing changes with the persistent disk with rsync running periodically.
