I literally linked to the actual interview. I know exactly what he said and my original statement still stands. And there's so much "vibrant" criticism in Russia that the guy he mentions is in prison? If that doesn't refute his argument (assuming it wasn't ironic), I don't know what does.

Here's someone who also went to prison for protesting against Putin who says that Assange uses rhetorical dodges, but it's out in the open in Russia that he works with the Kremlin.

Can you point to a time Assange pissed off russia? Why did Assange brag about 'kompromat' he held on putins administration, and then take a meeting with Putin after Russia threatened him? Why did he cut a tv deal wth Russia state controlled media a month later, and then neglect to release his 'kompromat'? Why did he censor emails showing Russian banks ties to the Syrian war, and why did he tow the kremlin line and accuse the panama papers leaks as being funded by soros and the USA without providing any proof?

To act like Wikileaks hasn't cut a tv deal with a Russian propaganda network and doesn't parrot its talking points runs pretty counter to recent history. And today they're at it again, trying to foster doubt about the safety of secure messaging apps among journalists (unsurprising, given Putins history of murdering journalists).
Under which circumstances is an individual required to retain data that they created?
They're directly arguing in favor of putting skilled foreign workers on a path to citizenship, and not even mess around with H-1B's. If the argument is America lacks enough of certain skilled workers, recruit these workers into becoming Americans.

This is in contrast to the Republican position which is to set a minimum wage for H-1B holders, which is rather ironic that they'll support a minimum wage there as a form of protectionism, but won't support a federal minimum wage increase. But that's typical Republican classism. Between that, and the current administration's blatantly anti-immigrant stance, I'm unconvinced we're going to see a good policy change in the near term, and instead it'll just be a rearranging of the deck chairs with a lot of red cape action to distract people from the issues.
I don't think the marketing concept of non-technical programing makes sense. Its like trying to sell atonal arrhythmic music. Or randomization as an interior design strategy. You've already embedded learning in the design where the user has to understand its Subject-Verb not Verb-Subject. Also my experience with OO design is non-technical non-logical people will have truly weird arguments trying to convince you that your objects should be methods and vice versa due to lack of skill at being able to design. By analogy someone who knows how, can always convert a PDA to a CFG, its mathematically proven if you know how you can always do the transform or even write a program (compiler?) to do the transform for you in either direction. But if you don't know how it works or what any of that automata theory jargon means, well, then you just can't, thats it, game over. Likewise your end user can either program at some level, where they can convert culture and emotions and brain waves and other stuff into code, or they can't. And if they can't, well, they just can't.

I'd suggest you market it as a really simple programming language. That'll work. What you've got technically looks good an sounds like it could be useful, so, cool, but you just need to change how you're selling it. Realize that people who can't logically structure and rationally think and technically design will continue to be unable to program, of course, no matter how easy the tool is to use.

Remember most people are functionally illiterate and can't read at a high cognitive level. That probably correlates very strongly with being unable to program BTW.

(edited to add, this was the wisdom of the GUI. Plenty of people are too illiterate and non-technical to ever be able to use languages, including even English prose, as a computer UI. But if you strip out most of the functionality and change it from linguistic IQ skill points to 2-D spatial manipulation, lots more people can "use" that UI... Nobody ever got noobs to use computers via every "simpler" and dumber CLIs, that madness leads to CPM and msdos, the trick was to get lower intellectual functioning people to use computers by taking away power/complexity and abandoning language and literacy entirely by going spatial with GUIs, I'm just saying as a strategy making the tool weaker never helped people who can't use tools as a historical strategy)

I travel to Old Lyme Connecticut at least once a week. This is the town where Lyme disease was diagnosed as a separate condition for the first time.

Its also where the illness gets its name.

We have a lot of ticks.

Scientists link invasive barberry to Lyme disease:

- http://today.uconn.edu/2012/02/controlling-japanese-barberry...

The illness is definitely an imitator which is very scary. I've known people who have drooping faces which resembled a stroke / bells palsy and who eventually got the diagnoses of Lyme. I think the problem with Lyme is that its isolated, its infectious but not contagious (spreadable between humans). This appears to reduce the urgency of research. That said, the bacteria hides and destroys a person mentally and physically.

> This existence sounds awful and I don't know how people not only manage to do it, but aspire to it.

It sounds like paradise to me. Interacting with people is horrible, humans are unpredictable and interacting with them is like playing with a live hand grenade that can go off at any moment. It's just so super stressful to be around humans.

It's also super exhausting, after a day at the office I can do little more than sit in front of the TV like a zombie while I'm perfectly fine after a work-from-home day.

Well, there you go. You just explained why you don't like going out; it's because you don't like being in situations with lots of people around.

Your post reads like someone who knows nothing about the difficulties or complexities of this space, the economics, what customers will or will not pay for, or the legalities associated. I've heard this same pitch (or a similar variant) many times in the past, and the result is always the same.

The most concerning aspect of your model is charging users for download speed. That might cause users to pay you, but it puts an incentive on business to host questionable content. Megaupload and Rapidshare were doing the same thing.
This is a subject worth talking about, but the article is a bit all over the place.

I'm not going to be easily convinced that chores are a blessed thing. I do think chores will eventually die out because their value is fairly low: they're mostly repetitive tasks that don't require much skill. Ask women from the time before the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine how they feel about the awesomeness of chores.

If you want to know why something happens, look at incentives. Real ones, not the ones that you think should be true. Too often people have an ideal person in their head, and they assume all must act and think that way, so anyone who disagrees cannot really voice their opinion. Then a new solution comes out and a bunch of people rush to it. Or a new president. That demand was always there, it just was not allowed to be heard. If you don't want to hear it, it will catch you off guard.

People work a lot. People are protective of their time. People don't want to socialize. People are forced to earn income through part time jobs. People don't like those other people over there. In my experience, rarely does anyone really care to know why, they just announce a judgment to make themselves feel better and move on.

I don't think this Shut-In Economy development drives inequality. Rather, it's a consequence of it, and one of the examples of why inequality is bad, no matter how "objectively" well the less well off are doing. For the shut-in class, and for the serving class... and for those below.

In a more fair society, elimination of chores would be driven by either shared work or automation, and it will benefit all, so we wouldn't be complaining about it and calling the beneficiaries entitled. But it would take a fundamental rejection of this style of economic affairs to get there.
Your office has a shower and a management team that doesn't mind such behavior?

At my first job, our manager would force the engineering team to go to the beach every Friday to get out of the office, as we were the office shut ins. We worked longer hours than any other department by far. This caused a major political situation as the head of Project Management voiced vocal opposition to our field trips due to optics, even though this most likely helped our productivity.

One other commitment I had difficulty meeting was seeing a therapist every week. I always had to come in super early or stay late, neither of which was ideal
> with empirical tests to detect it and clinically proven treatments

Yes, but the article is about chronic lyme which is not clinically proven AFAIK.
When I was visiting Colonial Williamsburg they had a medical historian answering questions and the most interesting one to me was "What happened to consumption?"

The disease "consumption" was very common in colonial times, but was never really a formal disease, just a collection of symptoms. As medical science got better it got split into emphysema, pneumonia, and other more specific lung issues.

When I hear about things like Lymes disease, I wonder if we're still at the splitting apart to a more specific diagnoses stage.

One of my friends was basically living this scenario - diagnosed with Lymes disease until he had some new genetic tests done and it was determined that he conclusively had a different neurological condition.

It's hard to remember that in 50 years time they'll look back at shudder at what poor diagnostic and medical tools were available in the 2010s.

Although I am not the creator of it, I am a frequent contributor to Pyret [0], (I'm the error message czar, and prototyped the language support for tabular data).

Beyond that: Writing an interpreter is typically the first thing I do when I am trying to pick up a new language.

To anyone interested in learning how to design and implement a programming language, I highly recommend the 2015 offering of Brown's "Programming Languages" [1]. Implementing type inference was a revelation for me! The starter code is supplied in Pyret, but the material isn't language-dependent; the assignments can be implemented in any language.

Nice. Maybe it's finally time to upgrade to the latest Firefox for testing. We had been pegged at an older version because we ran into some issues with the new (at the time) MarionetteDriver[1], but I imagine the migration might be smoother now.

I don't have a link, but the echo doesn't transmit network data until the watchword is detected. It probably has a small local buffer, but not large enough to be useful here. So I expect that an unmodified echo would not provide historical evidence, but there's probably a way for one to be configured to stream audio continuously.
I get where you're coming from. Its just that technology is not the right framework to attack all problems. The app OP mentioned is essentially a tool to track trading favors between people - its not anywhere close to "love". In fact the addiction to tech, social media, smartphones etc. is making us spend less real face-face time with people (well-documented), so I would say its precisely the wrong tool to use.

Not saying we should give up, but this is a social problem, better analyzed with more apt tools like social science. Relationships grow with time & investment in interacting with someone else - given that, no amount of "apps" or tech magic can make a fundamental difference.
Or just remain skeptical, open-minded and curious for additional evidence towards either side.

If you don't have sufficient evidence, you don't have to believe either side.

The difference is that the Inspector shows the page exactly as it exists now, including any DOM changes that have been done via JavaScript. I typically use 'View Source' when I want to see the original page content before anything had been altered.

It looks like the the original commenter is talking about was first reported 12 years ago[1], so I wouldn't count on it being resolved any time soon. It just doesn't seem to be something that many web browser users actually care about, so I don't blame the FF team for not assigning much priority to changing the current behavior, even though I'd also like View Source to work the way way Joeboy is asking for.

WASM reminds me of the NDK on Android. A way to write high performance GC-less code, but nobody started to use it for other things than high performance computations.

Will people really start to port runtime environments to WASM so they can run Ruby, Python and Java in browsers?

(a) None of the replies changes the fact that Firefox will lose users over this. A harbinger of what's to come. Too bad Mozilla's wack leadership can't solve their problems by downvoting the users who leave Firefox because they will no longer the browser that works with a rich extension ecosystem (in general).

(b) If the one of the largest software companies out there, which is apparently acting in good faith here (since they intend to release a new plugin), can't keep up, then in what universe do all the rest?

All that being said, who knows what it going on with the new Google Voice. While seemingly improving the UI, they made it very difficult to place outgoing calls to people one has not received calls from already. So maybe Google is getting ready to kill Voice off.

AMD Prepares 32-Core Naples CPUs for 1P and 2P Servers: Coming in Q2
After nearly 4 years of my battle with Lyme, I finally found a doctor who cured me with an essentially illegal combination of antibiotics (4x the max daily dosage of doxycycline for 18 months). In her words, this will be bad, but not nearly as bad as not treating your Lyme. I haven't had any symptoms for 3 years now and am in best health I've ever been.

Occasionally, however, I am still reminded of how ignorant our medical institutions are about this disease. Recently I switched to Kaiser and during my intake process I mentioned my chronic Lyme, at which point the MD corrected me that there's no such a thing. He explained to me that he has all those years of experience, and that he has had to correct so many people about their misconceptions about Lyme. According to him, Lyme is like fever that you treat once at a time (and no longer than 4 weeks max). After my push back, he called in their in infectious disease specialist, who repeated the same thing, word by word. They even wanted to know the name of my specialist, claiming that it was irresponsible of her to give me that treatment (I didn't share her info).

I don't doubt that these two gentlemen are doing their best to help out their patients. I also realize that some kid in their practice will unlikely be able to shatter their firm beliefs that they had acquired in their decade-long training at prestigious universities. It just makes me sad that hundreds of other kids will be less lucky than I was, and will be left alone trying to figure out what's wrong with them, because obviously it can't be Lyme.

In words of my angel doctor, Lyme is the worst curable disease out there - it's a shame we don't cure more people.
