Folk tales were initially not aimed at young kids at all but for the entertainment (and maybe also illustrating morals) of adults.

When the tales are adapted for the kids, the violent themes are often tempered down. The story themselves are often changed. Just visit a book store to see the numerous adaptations are 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

Also, for young kids, the book is filtered through the interpretation of parents. So they can mellow down certain parts based on their kid's sensitivities. Also, in books, the really gory parts are often left to the imagination and not every scene is pictorially represented. Fortunately or unfortunately, each and every fact has to be shown in some form in the movie. Movies tend to be more visually stimulating than books and tend to pull in the kids more.

On the other hand, books have the luxury of being able to provide stories tailored to each age group. Movies have no such luxury if they are to be financially viable.

Also each movie wants to have a villain more scarier than all the ones before and visuals (earthquakes, huge torrents of water anyone) much grander. You invariably endup with something frightening for kids.

But above all, kids' imagination are more volatile and fertile than ours. Their view of the world is incomplete and hence their interpretations of the same scenes could be radically different and unpredictable. Case in point, My four-year-old was frightened of 'My Neighbour Totoro', especially, the scene of Totoro on the tree at night and the catbus :) .

Perhaps Movies as You Knew Them Are Dead (2016)
I see a lot of good argument for being able to record an officer on duty. But I am not familiar with the against arguments. One i hear is "privacy of the officer" but it does not make a lot of sense in this context. What are they doing on duty that needs to be a secret?

So my question is, what made them think that it was not okay to be recorded or what are strong arguments that are still valid? What situation would you say is an exception where people should not record the cops? would it get in the way of investigation sometimes maybe?

Tangentially, what do you think about drones that record stuff? I saw a few videos on you tube where drones were following cops around. Should there be a distinction between cell phone recording and drone recording? Could the officer claim they are being harassed?
Thanks.

I have stopped using Facebook as a source of information, unfollowed all friends and pages and stopped posting about me eating outside (I did post about my travels which I'm planning not to redo). After a while of doing that, I don't feel any urge to visit facebook and check again. I even get no more urge to see my friends profiles and what is going on with them.

However, I have found it is not practical to remove Facebook because I use Messenger to talk with friends (either chat or voice). Much easier and cheaper than doing it with text (and it's way too easier for international friends). I removed the Messenger App from my phone though because it is abusive. I'm trying to find a way to communicate (P2P) with friends without facebook but it is too hard to convince them to install something else.

"code is law" and "currently consensus-agreed-upon code is law" are not the same though, not even close. One allows for human intervention and the other one doesn't.

Moreover, consensus means that it's possible that >50% participants can one day to decide and take the money from the other participants. By declaring them hackers / evil / etc, for example. Which is basically what happened.
The major holes are: class fields, globals, and captures of escaping (non-scoped) closures (which are basically class fields).

Although this system proposes dynamic checking for these cases, it's explicitly not atomic checking. Atomic checking would be very expensive even though most code doesn't need it. Also there's a general sense that java, which does atomically guard all shared mutable state, has the problem that these accesses are defined but ultimately useless. Part of this is that coherent updates require coarser locks.

The answer is pretty simple; global production of battery cells suitable for automotive use is far, far below what is required for Tesla's goal of turning (forcing) the majority of the world's produced cars electric. Buying this capacity from a third party cannot be done; there is no seller capable of providing the product.

Global car production is on the order of 50 million vehicles per year, which means a required capacity of 2500GWh/year assuming 50GWh/car. 2013 li-ion battery production was 35GWh, some 1.5% of this number.

Tesla wants to reach a production rate of 500k cars/year in the next couple of years, and you probably wouldn't find a 3rd party manufacturer willing to eat the risk of upping the world's battery capacity by 50% to fulfil this contract. Never mind Tesla's long-term production goals, which are in the millions of vehicles per year.

Hence they're forced to do it themselves, same situation as the charger network on a bigger scale (which could in an ideal world be done by governments or a third party, but never on the short time scale required). I can't speak to the location of the factory.
But does that cover the API and if devs break something during a release? That's where I see the problem often. New API gets released that breaks something but the broken thing doesn't get fixed quickly.

An interesting read. I was just wondering what Moriarty had done since Loom, something the article doesn't mention (presumably saved for the future article it hints will feature his exit from the industry), so thanks for a peek into his more recent career.
From the article:

> Right to repair bills, which are currently making their way through eight states (Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Wyoming, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois, and Massachusetts), would require electronics manufacturers to make repair parts and diagnostic and repair manuals available to independent repair professionals and consumers, not just "authorized" repair companies.

This seems like forcing Apple rather than releasing consumers. Just another example of over interfering Govts.
I have the exact same feelings.

FYI you can deactivate Facebook without deactivating messenger. That is what I did. My messenger still works (although oddly, sharing links with friends has become a little worse ) and my Facebook profile is deactivated.
CHITIKA REFERRAL – Renaissance
Having a cron job which makes something useful out of the box is not stupid. It's useful for most people and any sysadmin who needs to customize what is indexed can easily do so if there's a path they want to exclude which isn't already in the default list.

10M files isn't a huge amount by post-90s standards and talking about disk access destroying hardware is pure hyperbole. If you have disks failing that frequently something is wrong with your server room, cooling, etc. A daily cron task is not a make or break problem there: I mean, 15 years ago I had that many small files backing a departmental email setup (maildir, so one file per message) — if you think locate is a problem, consider the I/O characteristics of hundreds of IMAP sessions and remember that RAM was a lot more expensive back then and many individual users had mailboxes larger than the aggregate total server memory). Drives failed, yes, but usually after years of heavy service.
I was also thinking this might be about how one draws a straight line. If you found those links interesting, you might also enjoy How Round is Your Circle[0].

Fun fact, Bosch's Axial Glide miter saw uses a Sarrus linkage rather than slides to generate it's straight line motion. I thought it was kind of a neat application for the oldest straight line linkage, especially since it didn't get much traction when it was first invented. It turns out for most application, a planar linkage is preferable.

> How do you expect that would happen? Does your company expect you to be available on Saturdays or at four in the morning? If not, why would they expect you to work during your other off times?

The chief difference is that on Saturday or 4am there aren't people sitting in an office wanting your "urgent" feedback on something they're working on, and possibly not even aware you're officially unavailable when they call your mobile. Obviously it applies more to people who are directly answerable to demanding clients or have unique abilities to fix/decide things than your average employee. And colleagues are definitely better at allocating things to other people when you're definitely away for a week or three.

I worked a four day week for several months due to accumulated holiday to use up, and seemed to field more direct sales enquiries on my Fridays off than the rest of the week. This wasn't entirely uncompensated, but it didn't feel like a three day weekend either.

>Cops have tough jobs, the vast majority of police officers mean well and are good people trying to serve their community

Depends on the department. My local precinct is across from the subway and parks nearly 100% of their vehicles on the sidewalk. It's on both sides of the street and so bad two people can't pass at the same time.

They've actually even spray painted ranks onto the street, which have now almost faded since they've been doing it for so long. The sidewalk is crumbling under the weight of the cars. At town halls they shrug when asked about it.

Despite being a high density area complete with multiple subway lines and a low crime rate, they do all patrols by car. No foot patrols whatsoever.

Meanwhile other NYPD precincts have different behavior.

A representative streetview link:

https://goo.gl/maps/e2FRX9K56GE2

Keep in mind this is an older streetview image; the parking lot on 50th Avenue next to the precinct no longer exists. There are also usually more police vehicles, though most of them shown in this streetview link are the personal vehicles of officers or the security shop (they are friendly with the police and don't get ticketed or perhaps the cops feel bad about parking this way and writing tickets for others on the same block - either way, no tickets)
Hey, first of thank you for your hard work! Let me redefine my argument - free level of support is somewhat lacking.

To be fair - this was like year and a half ago. Two separate issues. The previous company I worked at was where the issues occurred. First issue was something related to the NDB. I do not exactly recall what happened, as it was right when I got there. I do recall people being whining about delayed replies and ended up re-deploying to another instance.

Second issue was a fee for a service we have not used (big data/query I believe)- it took a while for the support to reply(something along the lines of couple of business days - billing support btw) and after we got ahold of them we have spent a lot of time on the phone trying to figure things out and we were still charged for that month. It was not much, but we could have purchased the current silver package for that money.

After the company started selling more products we upgraded to Gold package which was excellent. That's about the time I left.

Another separate instance was when I was not allowed to create more apps (even though I deleted more than 6-7) and I had to make a request for my account to create more. That took couple of days as well.

I think I started using GAE around 2011 and since then I have only seen improvements :)

Yes and no. It captured people while they were 20-somethings and has so far managed to hold onto many of them into their 30s and even 40s via its networking effect. But the last thing the next generation want to use is something that the previous generation used. So it's a blessing and a curse.

The original article describes moving from Racket's present VM to the Chez Scheme VM. As linked elsewhere in this thread, the performance benchmarks for Chez Scheme are remarkable.

There is a genetic component for sure; not everyone can become an elite athlete or lifter. However, with consistent training on a decent program (like you say), I would believe that nearly everyone who does not have a disability could get to a point where they can deadlift 2.5x ideal body weight, squat 2x, and bench 1.5x. And if you get here, you are physically strong.

I don't do specific training on those lifts, but I am approaching those targets. Hard work, eating right, and appropriate training.

To me, eating right means a good balance of carbs, fat, and protein. I target my ideal body weight in lbs x 1.5 as grams (about 260g of protein a day). I don't always get there, but I try to get to over 1/3 of that by early morning with some overnight oats with added protein powder, a protein shake post early morning workout, and something with protein for breakfast right before I start work). If I am building, I eat around 3k calories a day. If I am cutting, I try to stay around 2k.

Hard work means getting my heart going, sweating, and tracking and increasing my percentages. I enjoy crossfit style workouts. I track what my training max is, and lift an appropriate percent of that for given sets. Do varied lifts. Olympic lifts, power lifts, gymnastics, etc.

Appropriate training. Find a program and stick with it a while. A 5/3/1 program can be solid. I got a lot out of a cycle of juggernaut training on my back squat a while back. I went from 240 lbs to 305 lbs in a short window where I thought I had plateaued. I'm currently at 345 lbs. I'm in no rush to add the last 35 lbs to that to hit my 2x target, but I'll get there. If I wanted to get there faster, I'd be back on 5/3/1 or juggernaut again.

I'm going to have to be a contrarian on this one.

On my team, we absolutely loathe Google Spreadsheets with a passion. Not necessarily the product itself. It actually is a truly capable and nice spreadsheet program. However, it encourages some extremely bad uses.

Because of the low friction of creating a spreadsheet versus, say, a database, business users have started using it as a substitute for something that should probably live in a database. For instance, I'm thinking of a particular portion of our sales organization that kept their business hierarchy in a Sheet, ie x person is on y team. Now, when you want to do analysis on the data you now have to use something similar to this library to retrieve the data and return it in a dataframe, which then pipes into the rest of your analysis and you end up with a finished product, be it a dashboard or some job.

What always happens is that you write your analysis, set it up to run regularly, and all of the sudden, three weeks later, you start receiving exception emails on the script. When you investigate it, inevitably some jackass business user upstream altered the "schema" of the document, breaking your downstream analysis.

In addition, once you have hundreds or thousands of these scripts running repeatedly, all reaching out to the Google API and in some cases retrieving 100s of MBs of data, Google very quickly rate limits you and you end up with dozens of scripts that broke.

Sheets is great for analysis and one offs, but you have to push back on your business users who will constantly try to use it as an operations platform because they don't know any better.

- "I need to see an analysis of xyz data."

- "Ok, where does the data live?"

- "Well, all of the facts come from this SQL table, and we pull from this web service, and finally we run it through this lookup table we maintain in Google Sheets."

- "Nope. Come back to me when you put that data somewhere else. Spreadsheets are not databases."
