"In fact, wealth can actually make life worse. We can use wealth to distract us from our deeper issues by spending money on things we don't need, or worrying about losing our wealth."

You'll have those 'deeper issues' when you're poor as well. The difference will be you'll be anxious because you won't be sure if you'll have the money for all of your bills or you'll have enough to feed your family and not worrying if you can afford next luxury car.

I see blogs/articles like this pop from time to time. A rich guy (who probably didn't ever experience in his life how it's like to be poor) saying "being rich isn't a solution to all of your life problems". Well, I'm sure it isn't, being rich doesn't equal being content in life, but it sure as hell beats being poor.
Err.. The Swedish FRA[1] is in cahoots with the ones you mention. I doubt that's the concern.

AFAIK the US and UK share the databases access(or have an easy/fast way to share info - sorry I forgot where I got this information so I don't have a link tas a proof but I think is already a known fact) so hopefully NSA has to do more paperwork before asking other EU country for data.

I've repeatedly stumbled over these kinds of decisions by the gnome team. As a teenager I actually donated to the gnome foundation and I was very proud to receive some stickers via mail, but over the past years I realized that somehow their incentives are not aligned with mine.

Who in their right mind would remove those buttons? It can only be people who don't actually work with the system but think about further "improvements" all day. Very frustrating.

Go is a pragmatic language, designed for programmer productivity. I think Go was never meant to be used as a language for reasoning about models and concepts at various abstraction levels and for arbitrary problem domains. There are certainly other languages available that are better suited for this.

Can you give an example? I've lived in London before and I don't think I saw a single thing available there (that I was interested in) that wasn't available in much smaller cities. I mean, why do you need thousands of restaurants and nightclubs, when in a small city you still have dozens of them, and you don't need to suffer in the tube?

That separation between markup and presentation language (CSS here) is exactly the point. Kicking all this stuff out into CSS means your markup can mean what you're trying to say.

Using <table> elements should mean you're defining a table with tabular data in it. These new bells and whistles don't change that. You'll still use <table> for tabular data.

And I'm not sure what you mean about native app development. We bitch and moan about the inadequacies of CSS (more its implementation) but layout engines in real programming languages are a total ballache to get along with, especially if you're from a CSS background. You can't just commandeer a table and twist it for your own evil deeds, you have to use one of a finite layouts. Gtk3 is the closest I've found to something I didn't want to stab on sight.

I think you're making the argument that with more guns, countries tend to have fewer gun deaths per gun. This makes sense, casually. However, I doubt that anyone cares about the number of gun murders per gun, but rather the total number of gun murders, which is (please correct me if wrong) still correlated with more guns.

Also, I see that you've focused the discussion on gun murders, which is fine, but we should note that decreased gun ownership does lead to far fewer gun deaths, mostly by reducing suicides.

Patently false, I've been to a few camera infested shitholes like the one on 15th and Market in Ballard where they tried to pull this crap on me (and gave up), but outside of that I have yet to run into it. IMO its a huge red flag, they're the only ones that tried that out of 80 places I've toured in the past 2 months.

If the property manager tries this, its a sure sign that they are an ass. Also, the market seems to be cooling, one nicely remodled place I toured dropped to $1500 from $1700 for 950sqft 2 bed/1 bath in Queen Anne, then rented a week later. Seen a couple others do that, figure it should become more common as we get into summer.

I guess I was talking more from my experience as a local reporter for four years in the UK. If I had developed a reputation for being unfair and unbalanced, no sources would have spoken to me or given me useful inside knowledge. The same principle is true to national and international press but being geographically confined to a particular area in my experience helps to focus the mind more. At least in my case it made want to take extra steps when possible to make sure I covered all angles and different viewpoints.
> But people often say "FPS" to mean specifically "games like Quake and whatnot". Under that definition, shallow gameplay is part of what makes a game an FPS.

That seems to be unfair to Quake - there's a fair amount of depth and strategy involved, mostly with the hogging of powerups. I thought Quake 3 was just a game about two guys bumblebee dancing while trying to shoot the other, until my mind was expanded by a top Quake 3 player explaining his thought processes in the below video - the vast bulk of the talk is about map control, not reflexes.

I'm also surprised at the amount of overly sensitive people defending Garadget here. Their basis -- that this customer was likely brought up wrong -- is a bit amusing. It suggests that the defenders were brought up to judge others based a single interaction, without any thought of context, or anything but the barest of social awareness.

'course, here I am doing the judging now.
Didn't they pass a law some years back allowing folks to get their credit report (from the major companies) once a year? In addition, isn't it law that they send a letter after taking negative action based on the credit report - because people are entitled to it then as well?

If this is the case, that fee won't be there.
Couldn't agree more. If anything, a lottery system encourages spamming candidates whatever quality over carefully selecting high quality candidates.

Plus, nothing says "Welcome" than waiting several months for a decision in the visa purgatory. So that also discourages high quality applicants who have other choices.

Citation? This doesn't match my experience in Austin.
I made a decision long ago that any "IoT" or "cloud" based physical device in my home will be one that I build myself and that I control access to exclusively. So far, I haven't been motivated by the current commercial offerings to build a clone of any of them, though I'm considering a homebrew Echo clone just because I'm fascinated by voice recognition and voice control.

The Raspberry Pi, with the release of the Zero W, has finally hit the point where it's feasible and affordable to hack together such a device and keep the build cost under the sale price of the Amazon Echo Dot.

You don't need to keep all the apartments empty in order to carry on a scam like this, you just need to have one of each type that you're advertising.

You also don't need to actually be the owner of the apartment complex. The property manager can execute this all by herself: keep an apartment open, take the credit card payments directly rather than via the corporate account, deny all the prospective renters.

$17,000/month isn't an amazing amount of money for a corporation that owns apartment buildings, but it's a very nice supplement to the property manager's salary, if she runs it that way.

That article suggests that both global warming and deforestation are factors in the loss of the glaciers on Kilimanjaro:

"forests that have disappeared in the past 30 to 40 years on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes -- cut down by villagers for charcoal and open farmland -- were just as much to blame as rising temperatures worldwide"

Anyway this would probably only be a big deal if Kilimanjaro was the only mountain worldwide where glaciers are reducing in size - people only appear to be picking on it because it appeared in "An Inconvenient Truth" and imagining that if that one argument is wrong then the whole edifice of global warming collapses. Which really isn't how science works.
> the support engineer's response (that ends with blocking the user's device for good) _is_ a bona fide tantrum, worthy of textbooks.

I don't think that's a support engineer. I'm pretty sure that's Denis Grisak, the founder of Garadget. I find it fascinating that he used the phrase "only demonstrates your poor impulse control" to the customer while arguably his own response seems to suggest his own impulse control may require reinforcement.

It's impressive that you're able to extrapolate the questioners life up until this point based on three words.

On the other hand, the Government as an organisational entity is a direct continuation from past Governments which did terrible things. Organisations are not just the people who currently make them up - they're long-living entities in their own right with sometimes vast history that resulted in what they are today. The organisation - and the people in it - shouldn't get to reap the benefits of its history while simultaneously ignoring anything harmful it might've done.

Simplest way is to ensure H1Bs are at 90th percentile of the market for salary.

H1Bs are supposed to be for engineers that are very hard to fill so making their salaries high ensures that that gets met.

My tolerance for Ryanair is zero… I won't give my money to a business that treats me like shit
This is interesting to think about. As I'm sure you've considered, bacteria and other living cells exist in a state of highly regulated homeostasis. In bacteria, things like charged ion concentrations are maintained internally by various physiological mechanisms (chiefly the membrane-bound transport channels you describe) at specific concentrations with little variation. Salinity concentrations are generally the same as the surrounding seawater (marine bacteria are usually osmoconformers, as opposed to more sophisticated osmoregulators like fish), and the transport mechanisms exist as adaptations to maintain this state.

So while some aquatic bacteria can exist at a wide range of external salt concentrations (they are "euryhaline"), I don't know of any bacteria that have adaptated to actively concentrate salt internally above the salinity of typical seawater. Beyond a certain not-very-useful threshold, this would disrupt too many metabolic pathways and kill the bacterium. So I don't see how a concentrate-in-the-bacteria-then-filter-them-out approach to industrial desalination would work.

You might be thinking about brine pool extremophile bacteria / archaea, but again, they are just well-adapted when it comes to expelling salt or resisting salt intake, not actively concentrating it internally.

However, if you could embed euryhaline bacteria into some kind of impermeable membrane in a controlled orientation, and engineer them to express the right kind of one-way channels on opposite sides of the cell... there are some big bioengineering obstacles to doing this, but it's an interesting idea. It would basically be a sped-up version of the double reverse osmosis desalination approach already widely used, potentially more efficient and available to be powered more easily by sustainable / free energy sources.

I'm just typing as I think there, so maybe there's been work in this area already.

Indeed, could you imagine the uproar if ADT (a traditional, remote monitoring security company in the US) were to lock a customer out of their own house because of a bad review? This is no different and is downright suicidal of Garadget.

Even if this is the action of a single bad employee, so far the company has not stepped up to remedy the situation, and given it's a crowdfunded business out of nowhere, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the bad employee in question is a founder of the company. If that's the case, it's rotten to the core.
