If you're struggling to convince others it's best to leave the Galileo fallacy out of your arguments.

Just because something was thought to be ridiculous in the past and now we know better, that doesn't mean that your seemingly ridiculous idea is just as misunderstood and underestimated as that other idea was at the time.
In my experience journalists often have the headline they WANT to write in their head prior to the unfolding of the real story.
Not really. For example, one serving of black beans has as much or more protein than your average hamburger patty, and black beans are cheaper than meat in most places.

As an airline pilot flying Boeing 757 and 767 I think this concept is really cool but it does overlook some fundamental principles of the unreliability of weather in order to be practical.

This week I have landed in variable winds gusting up to 45 knots and then every inch of wingtip clerance counts, a drawback of this design.

What if the aircraft makes a long landing (floats) and suddely faces a different wind component that subjects it to a tailwind.

Also, the full circle would only be useable on zero wind days which makes me wonder about the economical reality of having a large part of the pavement be unusable most days.

> XML wouldn't have filled the void well for JavaScript though

This isn't hypothetical. It did fill that void before we had JSON, it's what the X in AJAX stood for. Browsers were parsing xml before javascript existed.

In hindsight, JSON was the first sign of the wheel reinvention that was to come from the javascript world.

tl;dr: found that human umbilical cord plasma (= blood minus cells) improves old mice brain function (plasticity, memory), then teased out which protein in the cord plasma seems to have this effect (TIMP2) and showed that it is actively transported across blood-brain barrier (by marking it radioactively).

Since this worked across species barriers, it can be speculated that a similar effect would be seen when administering TIMP2 in humans. It'll be exciting to see what comes of clinical studies, which are under way.

The thing with thinking outside the box is that you never really know if you're doing it right unless you hit the "jackpot". I.e. an idea seems obvious to you, but not to your co-workers/friends/bosses/whatever and is usually met with serious resistance from them. Especially in a work setting where you have to convince "non-technical" people. Sometimes it takes more than nice words to get your message across.
What Drives the Value of Crypto Currencies?
It appears that IA applies (or did apply) a new version of robots.txt to pages already in their index, even if they were archived years ago. That's silly, and stopping doing that would probably solve much of this problem.
One of the most valuable aspects of Debian was (and hopefully is and will always be) the fact that a release upgrade was always possible and (at least for me) never caused any problems (rtm of course).

The idea of "LTS" is a stupid reversion of something better we already had - the idea that upgrades are always reliable.

Saying "LTS" for me sounds like "we have lost control over the upgrade process."

Of course I must add that updating from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 went ok on all machines I have seen (servers and also desktop workstations) - this should not be surprising, but the expected default, then we do not need no "LTS" theater.
GMane.org [1] provides an NNTP (newsgroup) interface [2]. You can more easily set the automatic expiry rules for a newsgroup.

Careful configuration of the sending/reply address should let you reply to the mailing list by email as normal, or there may be a way using NNTP -- the documentation on the GMane website is missing, as they're rewriting the service.

He's invited the Swedish prosecutor to him for years, they've declined. The US obviously want him extradited from Sweden, prior to any of this wikileaks exposed Sweden as a covert member of NATO and it's a pretty real threat. Also he hasn't been charged, much less convicted, so 'rapist' is obviously wrong.
He is not. And don't forget that he deserves much more respect, partly due to his contributions to the software practice, free software, and freedom in general.
So basically you can be lucky - or not.

IIRC my boss wasted a few hours on the phone with two MS employees - spread over a week or two because their accounting and customer service teams couldn't speak together it seems.

I however was lucky, some tool I had bought was missing from my Windows Store account, after contacting them they contacted me back and I had it fixed within 20 minutes or something.

It'd be nice if there was a way that when compilers "re-write" or eliminate parts, those could be highlighted or otherwise nicely conveyed in our IDEs.

Teams seems to get (relatively) decent reviews in the Android app store, sadly it's not available in our corporate software portal. I do have Sway installed though (tbh I think Sway can be nice just never saw anyone use it)... maybe I can suggest some alterations to the offering.

Strange thing is that indeed, the "save conversations" option is grayed out (unckecked) in S4B, yet we are allowed to use Slack.

I was thinking it could be a good thing to use antitrust laws to prevent Facebook dominating by buying its competitors. I mean winning by having the best product is fair play but not by buying anyone who may be a threat. I'm not up on antitrust law - I'm guessing they don't apply to social networks currently?
> Even though saying the right words will not make them reality people really like to think that is the case.

I sometimes compare programming to these 'magical systems' because in both cases 'saying the right thing' has a direct or almost-direct effect on reality.

Other forms of writing obviously have an effect on reality too, but with programming (and magic systems) it's much more obvious and 'literal'.

> scrapers slow down their site and that's why they use robots.txt

a poorly written scraper may really slow down your site, especially if it wasn't intended to be scrapped repeatedly. There should be something to be said about frequency which scrapers should follow (specified by the website owner via a robots.txt like spec).

But website owners cannot demand unreasonable frequencies (such as once a year!), and what constitutes unreasonable is up for debate.
Regarding Google and Facebook, I'm hearing antitrust muttered in the office where I work, lately. (A digital publisher)

I'm ready for some more noise on this issue, publicly.
I think that it's good advice for people with interests outside of tech. If you are a developer, then it's easy to think of things that you could make for other developers, but for various reasons, developers aren't a great commercial market.

There are probably still a lot of non-developers out there using bad software, because developers with a genuine interest in that field and the skills to make great products for them haven't showed up yet. I work for a SaaS company that found a poorly served market, and it's been like pushing on open doors: there were a whole bunch of people with the same problem, but it's not a problem that developers care about, so the most popular solution in the market before us was Excel spreadsheets.
You never land with a tailwind and if the wind shifts the airport simply change the runway to the opposite one. If you use a circular runway and landing with a cross wind you would during your landing roll be subjected to a tailwind.

Sure, you could stop using that part of the runway but then we're back at the practical economical argument for this design.
Yes, that's all true. But I'm talking about the case where authors aren't making much money compared to the effort they put in. What if the end product is so unuseful or so interchangable with thousands of similar free products that nobody wants to pay for it? In that case, I think it's wrong to ask somebody to give money to such an author. They're generating a product that costs more to produce than what it's worth.

Some musicians hire expensive guitar coaches, have help from friends, hire producers to record their music and in the end they're made something that nobody wants badly enough to pay for, so it's an overall loss. I'm talking about these cases. Why should we insist that somebody pay them for their time rather than how desirable their product is?
Some stations in London can be so busy, that they'd need some way to prevent people from overcrowding the platform even if there were no barriers.

It's pretty common for smaller stations near major football stadia to have the barriers controlled manually after big games -- totally open for some minutes, then completely shut until the platform has cleared.

(London used to have a proof-of-payment system on the articulated buses, since you were allowed to board at any door, and it still exists on the trams.)

> In our current code base we have more workarounds for FF bugs than any other browser

This can have several reasons. The one you're aiming at, "Firefox has more defects/divergences from the standards", is probably true to some extent. Another, also likely true, reason, is that your code base is dogfooded in Chrome, and hence, defects/divergences there are less likely to be noticed since they appear to be the standard/correct behaviour.
There's zero lock-in unless you want to use Hangouts. Or Google Earth. Or Inbox.

Not everything is standardized, sadly. Even the things that are ... well, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=690195 is an example from just earlier today where Chrome went to implement a spec, decided what the spec said was not convenient, and just implemented something else without bothering to raise a spec issue or anything. See https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2568 for the resulting lack of interop that the standards now have to sort out. This doesn't always happen, of course, but it happens often enough.

Anyway, the Chrome team itself is, by and large, pretty good to work with (some exceptions like their "let's force-install this on unwitting users' computers" marketing deals notwithstanding). Other parts of Google are very much less great. Getting Gmail to work with your browser unless you spoof the UA string of some other existing browser is an exercise in futility.
Then efficacy, safety and long term safety have to be verified.

Apparently it is nowhere near as clear cut as expected. See the NPR article linked below.
And the same holds true for Safari (and other browsers) on iOS, I'm afraid. Then again, that probably won't be a matter of decades any more.
No. It's false. Tesla has to repair the 2% of 53k car produced (that is ~1k) for a minor problem that if occurs can make the car stuck with the parking brake engaged.
Reading just the headline everyone would think that the owners of 53k are in immediate danger because the brakes are broken.
If you still can't see the humongous difference then I have no idea what else to say.

I've had every type of housing (3-bedroom suburban house, dorm room, room in a 3-person shared apartment, bunk in a 25-person hacker house, own 1-bedroom in a mid-rise). I could never go back to having roommates, or living in a neighborhood where I can't go for a walk at night.

If you know a way to get a sub-30-minute commute under those constraints by any means where career opportunities for software engineers an be found, please do tell. I'm stringing together a motorcycle and a train, and I'm still at 45 minutes each way on the best of days.
There are several cards available in Britain which use the VISA/MasterCard spot rate, and add no further fees.

The cards tend to have no other promotion, whereas comparable cards might include travel insurance, or some gift vouchers when you sign up.
They stop breathing, but don't die. Presumably, when whatever mechanism they use to measure oxygen concentration tells them that oxygen levels are high enough, they start breathing again.
From experience, it's much easier to recruit from a list of people who've already said that they'd be willing to talk to you than doing cold calls. Cold calls work, but expect a way lower response rate than if you find a way to pre-assess your customers.

For example, I've worked with clients where we would insert an NPS question at some strategic point in the digital parts of their service. Not at a point where it would be intrusive, but rather, for example, at the very end of completing a bank transfer. Make it very small: 1) The NPS 1-10 scale, 2) Field for free comments 3) Checkbox to the effect of "is it OK if we contact you for more questions?"

This serves the dual purpose of finding people who are willing to talk to you, as well as giving you an idea of what they think of your service at the current moment.

You can now contact the people who put less than 9 on the NPS scale to do two things: 1) find out what you can do to improve the service, and 2) take care of the complaints they might have and improve your relationship to the customer in question directly, potentially turning a negative impression into a promoter.

Obviously, if the product doesn't exist yet, you will have to find a different way to reach your potential customers rather than inserting it into the existing service.

Security issues that developers should know about mobile app development
Why has every response to my comment misinterpreted it? Do you all have an axe to grind against someone and you thought I was that someone?

I'm simply saying that many writers produce work with very little value to other people, and that those writers shouldn't expect to be paid for their "work". Nobody pays me to eat food, even though I enjoy doing that.
The idea that "the increase in cost of living wipes out the salary increase" always comes up in these threads, and I think it's way off the mark.

For example, I used to live in Fukuoka, a mid-sized Japanese city, and now live in Tokyo. A nice 2BDR in Fukuoka downtown would cost (say) U$600 per month. My salary in Tokyo is about double of what I could earn in Fukuoka, but an equivalent place in Tokyo would cost me way over $1200. So I don't live in downtown, and I choose to live in a smaller place. But it's not like everything costs twice as much as in Fukuoka. Food is a bit more expensive, not twice as much. A smartphone costs pretty much the same wherever you are in Japan. Traveling abroad also costs the same (or less in Tokyo, since you usually need one fewer leg). More importantly, if I keep my savings rate the same (savings/income), I can save much more money in absolute terms; I don't have to retire in Tokyo, so it is definitely worth the save more.
> the likelihood of them being propaganda

Welp, that dead-ends conversations.

As a personal disclosure, I neither consider myself complicit with propagandists nor a total sucker. A partial sucker maybe...

I tossed three citations out there because I'm familiar with research on the topic and found those results fairly typical. But I get it, you don't find any of them particularly persuasive. You may not be inclined to listen to any countervailing evidence at this time. That's fine.

If you ever want to poke around at this topic again but are seriously skeptical about finding information you can trust, consider Googling the IGM forum.

The forum surveys economists across the political spectrum on various issues of economic policy.

You'll find massive splits on all sorts of issues, vast disagreements on how to best organize the economy. If you read the bios or works of the participants, the ideological differences of opinion will become fairly stark.

You might find that variety of opinions more reliable in and of itself, or you might simply find some individual you consider reputable on the forum.

From there you may find someone with interesting things to say that you'll trust more than me.

I don't expect you'll find a radically different view on trade, since there's fairly broad agreement that freer trade helps the average citizen, and helps society more than it hurts.

But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.

Best of luck either way.
("EC card" implies Germany.)

The EU imposes a maximum 0.3% fee to the merchant for accepting a credit card. This is to avoid any unfair competition between cash and cards, and between poorer people not eligible for cards that get cashback.

The UK used to have cards giving 2-3% cashback, sometimes more, but they've all been withdrawn.

I don't bother with a credit card, since it's one less automatic bill payment and one less statement to check.

One thing to consider when you're looking at mattresses is whether you are intrinsically hot or cold when you sleep?

Then consider how the technology actually works.

Me, I'm hot. So, a Tempurpedic mattress would be a really bad idea, since they use body heat as a way to alter the viscosity of the material, and thus also reflect that body heat back at you. I tried one briefly at a store, and after just a few minutes, I was burning up.

My wife has always been intrinsically cold, so for her a Tempurpedic mattress would be perfect.

But we weren't just buying a mattress for just one or the other of us. We had to find one that worked for us both.
'Model Minority' Myth Again Used as a Racial Wedge Between Asians and Blacks
I've thought about buying an old 200mm or 230mm fan, and hooking it up to a Peltier cooler -- First pass the air over the "cold" side to drop out the moisture, then through some rechargeable desiccant, and then through the hot side to my clothes.

I wonder why dryers don't work this way, other than I think that it'd be much slower to dry as compared to a traditional dryer, and I'm not sure if you'd be able to wick the moisture out of ever fabric.
Hi Palak, in order to make your honeymoon trip special, the brilliant, and unwinding that you need it to be you ought to prepare for a few circumstances that may come up and destroy your touring plans. Your packing list depends on where you are going to spend your beautiful days. It depends entirely on your planning such as the locations, weather conditions, your medical conditions, your habits, kind of trip, and your past travel experiences etc. With regards to packing for your honeymoon trip, it really is conceivable to be over-arranged. To tote excessively and an awkward pack will burden you. Take close to nothing and you'll wind up lamenting abandoning something or purchasing what you didn't bring. While packaging your luggage, leave some extra space in your bag for gifts, with the goal that you won't struggle to fit them in ultimately. Indeed, even only a little free pocket can be a lifeline. Additionally, whatever your packaging plan is, discuss what you are packing with your loved one. Read a Blog Post for more help; https://www.matrimonialsindia.com/blog/guide-to-the-perfect-...
