Wow that's intense. I've never worked in food service, but if I want to leave a message saying "I want to let you know that I didn't forget to tip you, you just gave bad service" I usually leave like a dollar or something, not 10%. But really if I had bad enough service to warrant sending a message, I wouldn't give them 10% on top of the price of the food. They would just get zero (or damn close to zero) tip.

Do people really say "you suck so I'm going to give you 15% more than the list price"?

Yes, I thought so as well.

> It's thus nearly impossible to reason with reasonable people here, simply because the psychological consequence of losing the argument is so strong.

I'd dispute the characterization of these people as reasonable, but given how common it is, I suppose I'm descending into pedantry a bit here. It may seem enormously childish (and it is), but I know very few people who seem able to acknowledge that an action of theirs may not be the optimally moral one. Almost universally, this baseline of ethical maturity is replaced with twisted, desperate contortionate reasoning as to why their actions are actually in the morally superior one.

I personally still eat meat; I tried vegetarianism a few years ago but started weightlifting shortly after, which tends to have a pretty profound effect on my appetite and dietary needs. The difference is that I acknowledge that this is a moral failing of mine: I'm not a morally perfect being.

Brexit is more important than college fees.

Is it, really?

People say things like this a lot at the moment, but the objective reality is that for a lot of graduates in the current tuition fees and student loans system, they are leaving university already tens of thousands of pounds in debt.

Earning anything resembling a "normal" graduate salary -- which of course isn't guaranteed these days -- they will then be making repayments that effectively increase their marginal income tax rate by a whopping 9%.

And with the current rate of inflation and the 3% extra interest that gets added on top, most of those repayments will actually just be servicing interest.

Bottom line: a young person graduating this year will have huge debts at the start of their career, they could be facing an extra tax-like burden for most of their working lives, and they're entering a workforce that demands more and offers less than any previous generation in recent history has faced. And that's before you even consider things like the housing market or the likelihood of that generation receiving a useful state pension by the time they retire.

How is anything related to Brexit, even in the most negative possible outcome, going to have anywhere close to that effect on the life of a young person who graduates this year?
The WWF is the NRA of environmental groups...
I'm assuming this is all pretty well classified, but I would be shocked if the US government hasn't had the ability to do that for a long time. Consider that back in 2012, the National Reconnaissance Office donated two surplus telescopes to NASA that were substantially better than the Hubble telescope. If those are the sort of telescopes that the government has no need of anymore, imagine what the state-of-the-art is!

As an aside, that donation has actually put NASA in a bit of a bind. For political reasons they can't very well turn down the offer. But the telescope itself is only about one third of the total cost of space telescope, with the rest being due to the cost of the instruments and the launch itself. Unlike the US military, NASA does not have an unlimited budget so this unexpected expense threw a wrench into their long-term plans. Furthermore, the telescopes were designed to look down instead of up, so they're not optimized for astronomical observations.
I'm glad I am not doing sysadmin for anyone but myself these days, the tools and knowledge needed to handle this level of mass intrusion available to common sysadmins is abysmal.

By the way, has anyone heard anything in the leaks about HIDS exploits? Right now I am leaning towards the position that if "everything is comprimised", the key to security in the future is primarily in log notifications and other auditing measures. I saw some stuff about deleting windows event logs, but if for example the server was running a hids that syslogged to a central log server, or even an encrypted decentralized log server, they would have to comprimise the entire system to prevent the log from existing.

Security is about layers.

I disagree. It would be, if one got Scottish nationality upon declaration (and then half abandoned it within 6 months).

Many vegans/vegetarians would accept you to their "club" only after being on probation for a year or two.

It's analogous to saying "most martial artists quit in less than a year". For some definition of "martial artist" that may well be true, but it wouldn't be a definition acceptable to those who actually practice.
Well, this is great. It's just like Google Earth, but slower and without all the neat features like historical imagery that made Google Earth awesome. Seriously, it doesn't even seem to support historical street view, which was the only big Maps feature that was missing from Earth.

Hi Gleb,

I want to use your cloud storage instead of S3. My main reason for using S3 is the DURABILITY (not reliability). S3 offers 99.999999%, which means it is replicated numerous times. Which means I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT taking extra customer backups, it is "baked" into S3.

How is the durability for B2?

We have never asked people to leave, to my knowledge. We usually have businesses hosting us, so we are well below the fire-code head count limits, while still maxing out at what the business is comfortable hosting a head count at.

We have had to turn people away at the door.

This is very rare, and I hate to do it.

(If it looks like we need to, I try to make an announcement before everyone shows up so we aren't turning away dozens of people a quarter of an hour after the start time. I have only done this a couple of times.)

I'm not vegan, but I have an astounding vegan cookbook that I bought because all the dishes in it are based on your comment. There's no "now add vegan butter" steps or "take 1 vegan hotdog" recipes. It's all about how to make really tasty food with just vegan ingredients. Probably the best cookbook I own, at least in terms of the food that comes out of it.

have you seen how horribly non-performant the linked page is? and that's to render a bit of static SVG, which is much closer to the primary use case of canvas than a full dynamic web page. The idea that we'll have full web pages being completely powered by javascript on the pixel-level is ridiculous. Plus - so what if ads can't be blocked? It's not the "end of the free web" as the original commenter stated. That's pure hyperbole.

Have they added any non-credit/debit card payment options (e.g. PayPal) yet? I'm from the UK, and my bank charges me a flat 'non-sterling transaction fee', which overshadows the actual usage costs. This means, for smaller projects, B2 is actually much more expensive than the competition that allows me to pay in my native currency either directly, or through a service like PayPal.
Gmail doesn't treat dots as significant. This is considered a "feature," not a bug. I do think it probably cuts down on people sending emails to the wrong person or creating confusing email addresses in order to commit fraud.
Not necessarily. There's so much variety in india wrt nutritious and tasty vegetarian and vegan foods, indoctrinitaion is tougher. The only non Indian cuisines that have some veggie options are probably Ethiopian and Mediterranean. But I haven't seen many varieties of those in US.

Meat eating is expensive (comparatively) and hence it's an another great barrier for many people to try.

I'm so pro veggie food even after consuming dairy products, chicken,eggs and occasional beef and pork. That's primarily because I grew up in India and I believe veggie food in India is way better than any other non meat cuisine.
This sounds like a problem worth solving. What about a browser add-on, something like Patreauto? You could budget some amount per month, and it would automatically distribute payments to the top 40 video creators you watch?
Or perhaps I should just eat what I like. I can make chili (a soup) with beans and no meat. But I rather like the soy crumbles, and I'll put them in. I like quorn, a meat substitute, and use it to make different versions of stuff. Some things just have no meat. You don't need to eat it.

Some of the substitutes are absolutely horrible and folks tend to forget that they need to spice the food slightly differently and make up for some of the actual meat flavors.
Exactly. I've been a vegan for thirty minutes. In fact, I'm vegan almost all the time, with the exception of a few minutes per day!

I honestly think it's reasonable to attach a minimum time frame to a word like this, otherwise it gets a bit hard to know what people mean when they speak. Whether one year is a good choice I don't know, but a minimum is required.

I'd argue the opposite. That OS-the-product hasn't actually succeeded because it doesn't have a business model that works. I'd guess about 0.000001% of open source projects actually make money (sure, maybe making money is not their goal, but it sure helps spread the word). Where as 100% of proprietary products make money - whether they make enough money is a separate issue ofcource ;)

I don't believe that the FUD from MS actually accomplished anything besides a very minor short term benefit where people didn't touch the GPL for legal reasons. Businesses are smart and they are very capable of figuring out what does and doesn't make money. Heck even Google figured out that being open is bad for business.

OS-the-movement OTOH is going strong. Its cool to have contributed to an open source project. Its cool to have all your work up on github. Its pretty much a gold star on your resume if you have a popular OSS project...

I'm inclined to agree with you regarding this not necessarily being a no-true-Scotsman fallacy. I think there is a meaningful difference between proclaiming to be veg*n, and proclaiming to be trying it.

I wonder what proportion of the cohort here were in each group.
And it doesn't work very well for certain systems. Motors are notoriously annoying to attempt to use "displacement current" on.

Remember, the Heaviside-Hertz pedagogy existed in a time when the "Ether" was assumed to exist.

What works nicely for things that "displacement current" fails badly is a "field based" representation. See "Collective Electrodynamics" for such a pedagogy.

https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/collective-electrodynamics

(Edit: Misspoke a bit: Field based works well for all systems. It just doesn't give nice, textbook, closed-form solutions for certain problems that are "simple".)
PHPStorm all the way. It integrates perfectly with Xdebug and you end up with an environment almost as good as Visual Studio or Eclipse debugging.
I think our main difference turns on private vs. public sector. I don't see a real difference on this issue.

Private sector: Shareholders elect Board of Directors, who hire management. Shareholders don't micromanage management decisions. If management doesn't direct staff to implement a company-wide spending database, the corrective chain traces back to management, then the Board, then the shareholders.

Government: Voters elect Congress and some of the Executive and (some state) Judiciary posts. These elected positions hire staff and tell them to do stuff. Voters don't micromanage government operations. If government doesn't implement a government-wide spending database, the corrective chain traces back to elected positions, then to the voters who elected them.

In both spheres, what gets assigned and measured, gets done. Tasks not assigned and measured don't get done. This is human behavior, pretty much the same in private or public sectors.

Not assigning a specific task may or may not be a failure. If it is a failure, it traces back to the empowered owners (shareholders and voters) in either sector. Ultimately, shareholders have to fix the corporation they own. Ultimately, voters have to fix their country's government. Who else can, in either case?

Regardless, I'm glad Balmer sees this database as a needed resource and is willing to fund its creation.
How deeply did you delve into the site? You should look at the "10-K 2017" report, linked at the bottom of the page, first. http://usafacts.org/resources/USAFacts_10-K_2017.PDF

I believe this addresses (at least) your first two points. And moreover, it is a remarkable document because it reads something like an anatomical description of the organism.

Your point about world finance is strange: That is not what this thing is. The same for your wiki idea. Both good ideas, but why would this be a point of criticism?

BTW I don't even know what an OG tag is, so I'm not sure what you mean there.

Ive eaten plenty of this type of dish that were fantastic. Your suggestion seems just as wrong to me as the alternative: unnecessarily constraining yourself to only traditionally vegetarian cuisines means missing out on flavors and cuisines that could easily accommodate vegetarianism with minor tweaks.

Honestly, I think this is (or will soon be)the new "3D view in Google Maps". Seems to be an improved version of that, with a (very) few of the features from the desktop Google Earth added.
I would expect a more elliptical orbit to be useful too. It would let you swing down lower over your target while keeping your satellite out of the atmosphere most of the time, and it would be even harder to track.

Yep, have the book. In fact, my own OO/dataflow stuff[1] (also a good 20 years old now) is similar in some ways, and I am trying to merge ideas from Morrison as much as I can.

a party becomes more competitive by actually having voters that support it. Very few people are socialists or communists, Labour would have a lot better luck positioning themselves in liberal rather than far-left territory. I currently support the Conservatives because Labour is socialist and Lib Dems are incompetent but I'm really pretty centrist.

Doesn't it depend a little on the what sort of sexual offence?

It seems to me that there is a big range of acts that are classified as sexual offences, starting with a grey area bordering to 'being a dickhead' to some seriously messed up sexuality.

I suppose it's possible to learn how not to be a dickhead, but I also think it's hard to change your sexuality.

I've been to meetups where this happened and while it isn't ideal I've usually received a warning that I should show up early.

I was talking more about telling somebody already inside that they have to leave because they were randomly selected (and using the police to force the issue if needed), similar to what recently happened with United.
Honestly I'm not sure if OO is actually easier to understand than FP. I remember when I started programming it was a crappy but simple language called Turing that was procedural and had support for objects and pointers.

We weren't really taught classes in my high school course, so everything we did was entirely imperitive. I came across a problem where I had about 20 different entities in a game who all had a special way of updating during each tick, but I didn't want to have to write a switch statement for each one. I looked up "How to have an array of functions", and without knowing it at the time I was trying to implement first-class functions in this language which it just so happened to have.

From there it's easy to see how once you understand the concept of first class functions, many FP concepts start to fall in line, and by the way the language was set up it was difficult to use side-effects in this language, generally you use a function to output to the screen or to return a new resulting value. In fact when it finally came around to learning about classes, I had a very difficult time understanding how they worked or what purpose they served, made my Java classes in University difficult for some time.

I'm not sure what point I'm making here, I just thought how it was neat looking back that my first language I learned I naturally branched into more FP-oriented programming.
> But veggie bacon is bad

One thing to keep in mind is that many vegan substitutes can vary greatly in quality / flavour. For example, discounting all vegan cheeses because you tried one doesn't really work because they are all using different methods to achieve the same end, so the result (flavour, taste, texture) is different.

It's not like dairy cheese which is all basically using the same method / ingredients (and therefore the results can be more consistently close together, even among variations on the theme).
What about using JNI for this?
> We would have a budget surplus if we actually made Social Security/other Gov. retirement program replacement actually sustain itself perpetually. What. A. Concept.

The problem is that there are a lot of people who believe that SS isn't broken because you can simply increase retirement age, make people pay in more, and other assorted band-aids. SS will be "solvent" until it suddenly isn't, and people need to realize that.
Arq is just a front-end that backs up your data to a cloud data store. B2 is one such cloud data store.
