I'm interested to see how this project evolves. As it is, even before all the furor about "fake news", I found myself consistently using Wikipedia to get summary and background information about ongoing news events, where mainstream news sources would present new data without any context and deliberately avoiding showing information about primary sources where available in favor of more internal links to other stories that give a glimpse of the point-in-time view of an ongoing story.

This is even more pronounced for retrospective coverage, where developments in the story as it had evolved are hard to glean from the coverage at the time, but important facts are surfaced throughout the coverage that are often elided in a retrospective published by a news source, but are well-represented, even controversially (where facts disagree or question the overall narrative).

My main complaint about the current trend in journalism (under Trump) is that the desire to sell clicks is so strong that you get no idea whether anything that happens is highly unusual or just routine, but the negative spin is so heavy that I can no longer trust that I'm being told how unusual each event is unless I really dig into it to find out.

A great example is the ongoing harassment of international travelers in the US. The impression I get is that things have gotten much worse, but there's certainly ample evidence of unpleasant behavior even under previous administrations, and some slim cherry-picked data saying that it's gotten worse. This is clearly a space where better sourcing of primary sources would help to make things a lot clearer, and to an extent, a somewhat adversarial approach to news research would help to reduce the tendency towards alarmism.

When I say "take 3-6 months off", I mean from distractions of life around you. Most people working, it's not reasonable to take that much time off. What I mean is, focus for 3-6 months on something new, spend 3-4 hours a day -- even if you have to box out some time at night to learning something. Often times over my life, I've told my wife, "OK, I'm going into hunker down mode..." which she new that I wasn't going to be counting on me for "free time" all that much for the next several months because I'll be in a mode of heads-down and learning. Like going to the gym or class, you need to carve out time and make time (weekends, nights, etc.). Make the time mandatory in your day. If you DO have the luxury of taking 30 days off (I know people who do have that), use that time for possibly going to an on-site bootcamp. Another thing I've done is take that 3-6 months and attend a class or bootcamp. With Bootcamp's becoming so much the rage these days, you can go 2 or 3 nights a week and learn a technology in 3 months. It's awesome.

That's definitely part of the issue. When I viewed your site, I didn't have a clue what it did, or whether those were the only categories (they seem to be) or what features were even available here.

But I think your bigger issue is that your site feels completely dead. I mean, it's not hard to find the QA section or chat when you view a topic, but the lack of activity here means there's no real incentive to contribute. I mean, why ask a question if no one else is asking or answering any questions?

So my advice would be to focus on getting the site active to begin with. Maybe do like Reddit and make a bunch of fake users to ask questions about Django and Javascript and whatever else, then answer them with either your main account or one of the other fake ones. That way, when people view the Q/A pages or chats, they'll think there's an actual community there willing to help them out, and actually post a few questions.

On a regular webpage one is able to select any text on the page by clicking and dragging the mouse pointer over the text, then pressing Ctrl-C or right-click and select "Copy" from the context menu.

Hey Folks, Founder of Datacol(http://datacol.io) here, We’d love your feedback on our product. We’ve been working hard on it for couple of months.

It can be installed inside your own account (GCP) and uses Container engine, Registry, CloudBuilder, and many other great GCP services under the hood but automates it all away to give you a better deployment experience.

An important part of analyzing state, and specifically a mismatch between the state and your expectations, is to ask yourself whether your expectations are valid. Not every bug is an error in coding what you intended, and we naturally tend to be somewhat blind to our own incorrect assumptions.

In Russia? You sure about that? I wouldn't be, if I lived in Russia, and I'd be much less so today than yesterday. It wouldn't surprise me if this prosecution were intended to make a point, in the characteristically subtle style of the modern Russian government, that regardless of what any potentially relevant legislation might say, running an exit node, and by extension acting in ways that help conceal communications potentially of interest to the state, isn't a very good idea if you cherish whatever stability and comfort your daily life affords.

The modern US government, on the other hand, has tended to be rather less blunt about making such points, and to choose different such points to make.

The only scenario where low mobility is obviously not a problem is when income is entirely even.

If there is an uneven income distribution, to decide that low mobility is fair, you need some other explanation for why people aren't moving from say, the bottom quintile up to the other quintiles.

For example, in a cartoon world where income outcomes are entirely random, you'd expect 80% mobility from each quintile.

Care to elaborate at all?

I am a C-level in my own company. It has been wildly stressful. But it's also more fulfilling than any other job I've had because it's mine, I do overtime to fix my mistakes and not other people's mistakes.

The main reason that CEOs have extra stress and get extra blame and get looked at to solve everything is because CEOs as a group have negotiated their compensation and sold themselves as bringing 350x more value to a company than the average employee. If you do that, you're going to get called upon to prove it at some point.

The undue stress is literally caused by the undue compensation, they go hand in hand. If you want to reduce one, you have to reduce the other.

FWIW, I never said C level jobs compare to the mean stress wise, and I even stated that I agree CEOs suffer ridiculous amounts of stress. I pointed out that more of the population suffers insomnia than CEOs according to the article. That's funny; the article was trying to make it sound like CEOs have disproportionate amounts of insomnia, but it turns out the actual numbers for the population are higher than the numbers the article states for CEOs.

I won't defend the book vigorously, but your reading of this part seems both superficial and easily dismissed with a moments thought. Pirsig is obviously driving at something deeper, even if you don't think he completely gets there.

The reason these videos appeal to people is because it returns some power back to the customer being mistreated.

Any fairly frequent flier will have horror stories of being mistreated by airline or border personnel, and most times the only thing you can do is to put up with it. But NOW, after the United incident, it feels like the customer is no longer as helpless as before and can no longer be mistreated with impunity.
This is irrespective of validity of any of the viral videos being circulated.
I'll answer by giving some examples. National Parks in the U.S. are owned by the federal government. State parks by the state government. County parks by the county government. City parks by the city. Each level of government is able to sell land from its parks to individuals or corporations. There are other examples of something being government owned.

Fanboyish? Quite a statement from someone arguing that IDEs are necessary--my position is that they're optional. Misinformed?

I think it's definitely a spectrum.

To me the most important binary distinction is whether it's "remote friendly" meaning you can work from home if you give an excuse, and remote friendly meaning it's expected that you'll be working remotely on a regular basis.

Once you're in that second category there's range from "work from home one to several days a week" and "never set foot in the office again"

Japanese carriers have a very high base rate on all their "smartphone" plans that they justify by forcing you to get an unlimited calls plan. You can get a far better deal on data with the multitude of MVNOs; the majority of which are on the former telco monopoly, NTT docomo, since the telco regulator has more influence on them. You'll get drastically lower priority on the network though (in the tune of 2 MBit/s instead of 20 Mbit/s as soon as the network has any load)
If you need to build your own network emulator for unusual purposes, have a look at the TUN/TAP system.

I was able to build a network device connected to a Verilog simulation (running in Verilator), allowing a simulated device to communicate with a real host. This avoided the lengthy build times and user contention of running it on the real target FPGA, which was in an expensive device we only had one of.

I didn't watch the video, but there is a huge difference between those who were members of a society who were murdered and tortured by their own people and victims of an invading army. It's not something that is done in the midst of war and it was not something done to an external country.

The lives may not be individually more important but the threat we face to ourselves of becoming intolerant and thus gassing mass amounts of people, putting them in ovens alive, and experimenting on them in the most torturous ways is morally different.
Call up your ISP and ask for a business account with static-IP address. I use a server on a static IP address from my Verizon FIOS ISP.

My experience of the book certainly ends with my reading wave being affected by that postscript in the book. Pirsig allowed for it to be in the book itself, which means it became part of his text too.

I suppose that resentment among Armenians towards Turks is still high to this day, I'm not saying that there will be more violence, but the threat is still there.

Note that I come from Belgium, whose historians are so ashamed of the Congo Free State genocide that they consider it a controversial topic that should not be taught in school. Were it not for Internet conversations, I'd be blissfully unaware of it as most Belgians are. There were more Congolese people killed under Leopold II than there were Belgians living at the time. There's been little to no backlash. So, indeed, sometimes it pays.

I sometimes wish I could have a more cynical take on things, but I have a strong fairness drive, spontaneously.
