I have my cards email me every transaction​ so that I can spot these events quickly. Ironically, after I set that up, my number hasn't been stolen. It had been stolen 4 times previously. My favorite was when the fraud agent asked me, "Did you purchase 150 lbs of concrete in Mexico yesterday?" Just after he had verified I was traveling somewhere else.
same reason why CPUs were advertised on their Mhz rates in the 90s - a nice big number makes for good marketing, especially if it's more than your competitors.
I agree that news articles shouldn't speculate on motives and whether or not a shooting was proper in the first few days (with the possible exception of a neutral expert on these issues, such as the excellent copinthehood.com).

Nevertheless, "officer shoots X" is at least as factual and without spin (unless X is "victim" or some kind of loaded word).

OP wasn't about news articles, anyway. In this context, the use of OIS from a precinct press release (i.e., a document not from a neutral observer, but from a representative of one of the involved parties) looks like an attempt to pre-emptively disclaim even the possibility of responsibility, which may or may not exist in any particular case.
I really don't know what to tell you then, because I've yet to see a Homebrew installation that couldn't install packages, but many times I've had apt break and require either fixing something unrelated to installing my packages (like failed upgrades) or copying and pasting some dpkg invocations until things weren't broken anymore. And when I mention the latter most Linux users I've spoken to say PPAs are a great way to end up doing that (I don't want to start vetting PPAs when I need software, I've never had an issue with a Homebrew installation, be it bleeding edge or old as dirt and requiring finding an old version).

I have no idea how you'd compare Vagrant to... homebrew. Sometimes it's convenient to have software on my actual machine, not a VM...
This isn't really a last 5 years thing, but there also used to be something said for there being AMEX offices in major cities, being able to get free travelers' checks, cash personal checks, etc. Those things largely don't matter any longer.
I don't agree with that one. I think though the state should takes measure to ensure people can pick stuff without any DRM. Sure, banning imports of DRM might help in that, but there are other easier ways like subsidizing products that don't implement DRM.

That's true, but it's not an absolute: there is no guarantee anybody will get ill, it's rolling the dice with a somewhat higher chance of someone else getting ill but a much bigger chance of you yourself getting ill.

As an analogue: if you want to categorize the non-vaccinated person as a 'drunk driver' who is not allowed to partake in traffic then you prioritize (rightly, imo) their choice to be drunk over the risk they pose to the lives and health of others because the chances of causing a serious accident are large enough - and we have the evidence to back that up - that we collectively have decided against people having that particular freedom.

So if that's your argument (which I don't know for sure) you definitely have a point.

The counter point (to that convenient strawman :) ) is that the chances of someone getting ill are not as easy to determine and that that someone might have gotten ill anyway. Cause and effect are a lot more distant in that case and much harder to relate to each other.

People just want different software every few years, because fashion is fickle there's a natural feeling that old stuff is out of date. Slack doesn't provide any real improvement over an IRC server that keeps its logs around, but it's web-based and it has custom emojis, so...

While I largely agree with you, I disagree on things like Google Play Music and Movies (includes TV). Their sales platform for other people's content works well. My wife and I used to use Spotify, a good service, but find a $15 / month family plan for YouTube Red (including Play Music) to be a good service and a good deal.

Off topic, but even though I have spent much of the last 30 years working on AI and machine learning, I did work for Disney and Nintendo for a while in the 1990s, and I have a keen amateur's interest in the business side of content production. I never would have predicted the amount of money Amazon, Hulu, Netflicks, and HBO would invest in producing their own content. Interesting that Google does not do the same thing. When I worked at Google as a contractor I enjoyed the visitor talks, and Spike Jone's talk about directing movies and the way he does it was very well received by a large crowd.

I am very glad that there are several large companies competing and not just one or two.

EDIT: I am all for decentralization and small groups/companies, but sadly we live in a world of larger corporations.
There have been leaks (from a while back) that show a loss in most markets (but not all). The spending involved is mostly from driver incentives, which takes some form of "paying drivers more than the fare[s they get]", but is often of the form "we will guarantee you make at least $X so long as you're online in that area during this time and accept at least y% of the requests".

Our mdvip experience was different.

We paid the $1500 a year a few times. Got a thorough physical - but Dr. and office dropped the ball on follow up.

So when we didn't renew, we were bombarded by AOL-like contact wondering why we left. (We hardly ever say negative things on questions like this)

But it got worse. We wanted a simple refill on an inhaler and the mdvip Dr refused. We had to rejoin first!!! Pay $1500 for a Rx!!!

Called the former local Dr office and they Rx one emergency refill even after not seeing the practice for years.

We will go back to the mdvip dr again because but only when and if the condition calls for. The Dr may not be good at follow up but we liked his diagnosis skills

No thats actually not true which Denmark has lots of data to show.

It's 100% free to go to the doctor yet a lot of people don't go for checkups it's not a common thing to do.

Furthermore the situation is even worse for men over 50.

So access to healthcare has very little to do with that.
When I was 19, I heard this line from a friend of mine at college:

"You know, when I was 18, I thought my father was pretty dumb. After a while, when I got to be 21, I was amazed to find out how much he’d learned in three years."

(Aside, the original author is hard to pin down - consider [1] - but the delight, of course, is that it's such a timeless observation that rewards the listener who can simply survive long enough to appreciate it.)

I first met rms on a rare visit of his to Sydney AU back in the early 1990's, I saw him again at a talk in London in 2011, and then at FOSDEM in 2013. His position really hasn't changed much in that time - some people suggest this is a weakness, but perhaps it's indicative of his prescience in understanding what the long term concerns (threats?) for IT were going to be. That people are increasingly siding, or at least empathising, with his message is actually pretty encouraging, even if you ignore the likely outcomes.

It's not that hard to come up with legitimate domains in non-Latin script that could be recognized as word written in Latin script. For example, керас is a Russian transliteration of Keras. So I imagine they would get a bit of false positives and (fair) claims that non-ASCII languages are oppressed. To me, better alternative would be to limit puny code names to punycode TLDs, and make sure that no two TLDs look the same: task of much smaller scale.

Chase should be able to do that kind of card replacement too.

Me, I cancelled my AmEx the second time they flagged my card-present $30 grocery store transaction as fraud. There was no other hint of fraud on the account, but my buying groceries 100 miles from my home (in California) was enough to trip their algorithm.

I could forgive the false positive, but AmEx's customer experience here is terrible. They declined the transaction and then called my call phone from an unrecognized caller ID. The call came from an Indian call center with very poorly trained staff reading a script at me to verify I had the card.

So here I am in a stressful situation: can't buy my groceries, embarrassed my card is declined. And they decide that's the time to outsource to some lowest-bidder call center. Talk about contempt for the customer.

Most people are poor. Wealthy people are the exception and most people would not be able to pay for even the simplest procedures.

They typically can't pay for a new washing machine if their current one breaks down.
I've noticed this too. I'm not actually in the military, but my grandfather was a doctor in the Navy and apparently we've been (literally) grandfathered in for perpetuity. The card has raised eyebrows in places I would not have imagined it would be noticed.

"Most" is correct, but some of the other reported programs sweep up large numbers of Americans. Examples:

"The National Security Agency is harvesting hundreds of millions of contact lists from personal e-mail and instant messaging accounts around the world, many of them belonging to Americans"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-c...

"NSA was using its metadata troves to build profiles of US citizens' social connections, associations and in some cases location"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/30/nsa-americans-...

"The N.S.A. is not just intercepting the communications of Americans who are in direct contact with foreigners targeted overseas, a practice that government officials have openly acknowledged. It is also casting a far wider net for people who cite information linked to those foreigners"

It's neither a good or a bad thing.

The US system isn't the only way a marketdriven system can be and a lot of it's problems are lobby and politics related.

Market demand is a good thing in the sense that it creates better allocation of resources.

The US doesn't have a healthcare market driven by market demand. But the fact is that the US system has more advanced treatment methods.

The problem is that it's not evenly distributed.

This embodies to me the qualitative difference between a manager and a leader. Or put another way, he's a 10X manager. Highly unfortunate that I cannot find any papers (much less books) authored by him that discuss how he learned and what he uses to continue to learn leadership. Would give an eyetooth to get his perspective on how he came up with and introduced the Dealer concept, or his equivalent of essays on management like Brooks' Mythical Man-Month.
I'm a migrant to Germany as a software engineer and I can tell you its probably going to be really hard if you don't at least study in Germany or are a student in your home country (I was a student when I came). You don't necessarily need to stay and get the degree but its much easier for companies to give you an internship and then hire you if you go this route. Otherwise, its a total pain in the anus for the company to hire you over a EU citizen. I've experienced both ends of this now and its basically just not worth it from a company's perspective to hire someone outside the EU unless they are a super talent and/or the company has the resources/hr to deal with all the paperwork crap.

So to answer, "In other words, can I get a work visa anywhere in Europe without having an offer in hand?" Theoretically yes, practically - highly unlikely.

Maybe its better in other EU countries but I wouldn't know.

To #2: just flying in and hoping you'll land something even with a very solid portfolio is a bad idea, since its highly unlikely any company is going to go through the hoops so you can work for them and time will be against you since the process takes a while.

I'd say if you can suck it up you should go the student route since its the path of least resistance and all you need is to be enrolled, you don't have to finish. Then get an internship since thats easy enough and make a good impression, then that company will want to do the legwork to hire you. This whole process might take about 2 years but at the end of the day you'll be set.

> We only need him as a radical to make the normal open source look like a normal reasonable thing.

This kind of comment perturbs me.

Primarily because it's not clear what 'normal open source' looks like -- could you point to a definition (that's agreed upon by more than a handful of people).

But also because 'normal reasonable thing' is just as nebulous, but embeds the little back-hander that implies freedom (the thing that the 'OSS movement' jumped on and arguably hijacked the message of) is either abnormal or unreasonable.
That's a good point! As I say in the readme, I left in the newlines to make them more readable - but I'd certainly take a PR for the colours and grouping.

As for the heights - will that make a difference if the image is scaled?
Assuming you have the Blue that costs money, then the Amazon cards should be used at restaurants and drug stores for the 2%, but the Amex should be used at gas stations and department stores for the 3% and of course grocery stores at 6%. For the stuff that doesn't fall into those categories though, it's all 1% so either work.

Might be true, but at least I have the untimely demise of a CRT screen on my conscience.

Got qbasic, some assembler, and a list of interrupt vectors from somwhere. Messing with int 10h, and activating each individual video mode to see what happens. Somewhere halfway the list I find 'character generator video ram access' or something. I remember thinking it sounded really cool. Anyway, activate!

Today I suppose what happened was that the horizontal and vertical retrace got switched off, and the electron beam concentrates on the center of the screen instead of going everywhere. Or maybe not, you tell me.

I do know what happened next: The screen starts to make actual noise! Something wobbling starting silent and getting louder, straight from some third rate sci fi movie: wowowowowowoewoeoeWOEWOE. It can only guess it took a few seconds, but I heard al kinds of exploding monitor horror stories, so I am scared like hell. A few seconds later, I unstiffen and pull the power plug, not the best course of action but at least the fastest.

Repower, and there is a huge purple blotch on screen. Oh dear. After a few second it shrinks away to the center and disappears. For the next month, this keeps on happening every time the screen gets powered on.

I think it was 2 months later when my dad was sick of the display vageueness that had studdenly started and finally replaced it.('Did you do anything?' - ' Who me'? + Put on the 'I know nothing, Im from Barcelona' face) No idea if parents ever knew what happened (It's about 25 years ago at this point).

Friend of mine says every comptent engineer needs to destroy at least 1 piece of expensive hardware. So I hope I'm competent, but at least I learned a healthy respect for hardware that day.
