Chili in chocolate is common, as are various spices in good chocolate. It's an interesting flavour combination - a lot of people don't actually like "pure sweet" flavours.
To what degree is Erdogan's regime a problem of not enough democracy, as opposed to a fundamental problem with democracy itself? (Where democracy = 51% wins)
Thank you so much, binge watching now!
You mean like the public owning the means to production?

No thanks, too many cooks in the kitchen. We're a democratic republic specifically to avoid that.

As inept as we view our Congress to be, we're still a highly developed, functioning country.
I was expecting endorphin release to come up in the Guardian article and was surprised when it didn't. Is there good science behind the chilli-endorphin idea?
This is due to the fact that on mobile devices the scroll event is triggered when you've released your finger. Unlike web which is during the scroll. I am working on a fix for this now!
This is a really clever idea. Do you have sources of information about what sensors are present in which phones?
Where did I say it was an easy problem to solve?

Lookup the definition of just.
Here some ideas that worked for me:

- online classes. Especially those from actual universities rather than Coursera. Coursera is great but often they target a larger audience and the content may be simplified. Personally, I learned a lot from MIT classes (especially distributed systems and operating systems). They have projects that are challenging and really interesting.

- Competitive programming. I found competition in general to be a great way to improve. It's stimulating and there are many resources available. The downside is that it's hard and can be depressing. For instance, it takes me 10 hours to solve the problems in an easy code jam round when some 18 year kids solve them in an hour. Depending on what you want to learn, there are different type of competition. For instance, code jam / codeforces for shorter type of problems. Google hashcode for slightly larger optimization problems. Kaggle for machine learning. I'm sure there are many others.

Actually, learning stuff and improving is the easy part (you just need free time). There are so many resources. The question is more deciding what to learn, and how can it be useful.
Wealthy pay the same price per kWh as people who are poor. They also pay the same rate for water and other utilities.

If you frame the net neutrality issue as a tax, then sure, set up some rules and make wealthy corps pay more. I can't believe you don't see it being abused by telecompanies within days though.
Important caveat: the US government is reducing it's own efforts to combat climate change. That's not censorship.
I meant it is an alternative to land lines. Can't help you build more companies, sorry. I don't think the government can either
Great summary. One missing thing is that goverments are getting better at using free Internet for propaganda. In Poland we have open Internet so far, but we are increasingly exposed to Russian goverment news/comments that are factually wrong but repeated consistently.

Basically - we see the same thing we already saw with free market. It is not free by itself. Countries and companies can use it to establish monopolies.

Freedom is not for free. It is something we need to define, establish and then continuously fight for it.
I don't understand what the "anomalies" this site detects in Denmark, Finland, and France represent, but the site itself says that they don't necessarily represent censorship and that it has only confirmed censorship in the following 12 countries: Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Greece, Sudan, Belgium, Cyprus and Korea.
You dislike the miscasting of what you said, then go on to miscast what the parent says (that Elon himself is foolish, rather than that he has foolish ideas).
From my experience,

i) the people who push features don't actually use them;

ii) people overestimate the pain users will go through to reach their services;

iii) in a lot of businesses it's actually really _hard_ to advocate doing nothing - no new features, no further investment, no changes. So something is done because something seems better than nothing, and thuse the product slowly accumulates cruft.
Well, I agree with lots of the points in the article, but I am one of the user who never used Flickr for their social capabilities, all their groups which could allow you to get discovered by pro photographs, or as a gallery, but mainly for their unlimited storage and their (a bit horrible tbh) api.

I am one of these old school guy who still want to believe in the power of the personal website, and so my main tool to convince people to pay me to photograph them for their wedding is still my photography website.

With Flickr and a plug-in like Justified Image Gallery for WordPress, I can use Flickr basically as the storage backend for all my pictures (and I still do). As I have dozens of thousands of pictures, it's useful.

As such, I don't care that much to have thousands of followers to tell me my photos look beautiful, I know they are. And I don't think personally that to have thousands of subscribers will bring me much more paying opportunities. To be contacted by big firms to do corporate photography requires to put the time and energy to build a much bigger following in the likes of the dozens and dozens of thousands of followers, something I'm just not interested in, I still have a day job after all...

But still, what I would have liked with Flickr would have rather be to go much higher end in the pro market.
For example, I would have loved to be able to have the equivalent of my lightroom catalog online. I would have loved to be able to upload my raw photographs rather than only jpegs. That would have been a differentiating factor worth a lot to me. I don't care about having a Facebook bis or an instagram bis.

And I would have loved to be able to rsync or ftp my pictures, gosh, batch upload or processing is still a pain in the a.
At least a few of those sound like the could be fun band names.

From the article:

On air, I said that, back in 1988, when climate scientist James Hansen testified in front of the Senate, he predicted we’d see a tremendous amount of warming. I argued it’d been more than a decade and we could now see by looking at the temperature record that he wasn’t accurate. After we got done with the program and were back in green room, getting the makeup taken off, Joe said to me, “Did you even read that testimony you’ve just talked about?” And when I told him it had been a while, he said “I’m daring you to go back and double check this.” He told me that some of Hansen’s projections were spot on. So I went back to my office and I re-read Hanson’s testimony. And Joe was correct.

Here is a transcript of the testimony, he appears to be referring to...

http://climatechange.procon.org/sourcefiles/1988_Hansen_Sena...

Having read it twice, I'm not sure exactly which "predictions" he is referring to.

John Taylor, according to his Wikipedia article is "an environmental activist and policy analyst", and apparently more than happy to shill for either side.

The SpaceX stuff is actually amazing.

The Tesla stuff is over-hyped by people who think that it's currently the global leader in everything they do, be it manufacturing or self-driving tech. In reality, the EV space is competitive as all get out and Tesla is a pretty small player.

The boring stuff? I have no idea.

Well, that's a well-deserved negativity: they are the Juicero of mass transportation... they are trying to solve a problem that is already resolved with a very complicated and frankly ridiculous solution.

The lack of good mass transit is a political problem: why European mass transit is in general so good and why American mass transit is problematic? It's not a problem of technology. It's Politics, stupid. :)
This sort is great but the longest ones are a mouthful and not that great. The middle part has quite some gems, though there are also a lot of uninteresting ones to weed out as they follow some swapping pattern:

"$1$2$3$4" == "$3$2$1$4" if /^(.*)(o)(.*)(al|ist|is|ia|y)$/

Anyway, here goes my list!

09 "capernoited deprecation" sounds like something I could use daily!

09 "cinderous decursion" is sad but beautiful scenery.

09 "canopying poignancy" just breaks my heart.

10 "romanticise miscreation" is all about art.

09 "assorting organists" just sounds fun!

09 "exterminate antiextreme" is just extreme in its own way.

11 "paternalistic antiparticles" is terrific anthropomorphism.

09 "ancestorial lacerations". ouch.

09 "adsorbing signboard". I just read it as a pun merging "absorbing ad signboard"

09 "amortised mediators". Interesting because mediators act as dampers, and "amortir" in french means both "damping" and "amortising"

10 "presential interlapse" just flows.

10 "interlaced credential". Is that an encryption scheme?

08 "nightcap patching" is beautiful.

08 "timesaving negativism". Ha, you bet.

08 "supersonic percussion". Boom.

08 "unsoiled delusion". That one's beautiful, like a Chiaroscuro.

08 "latescent tentacles", Cthulhu or something

08 "voidless dissolve", Cthulhu or something

08 "misnomed demonism", Cthulhu or something

07 "relating triangle". Did anyone play Thomas Was Alone?

10 "postmineral trampolines". I don't know, but it involves trampolines.

Even in the smaller values there are some good ones that don't sound like anagrams.

06 "trashed threads". A though for you, C++ and Java folks.

06 "tipful uplift". Now, that's the spirit!

06 "straying stingray". Works for both the 'vette and the sea-farer.

06 "monetize timezone". People are evil, sometimes doubly so.

But the best one to me (probably because it resonates deeply with my recent personal situation) is:

06 "ideals sailed". So long.
I'm sorry, that makes no sense at all.

Go build a company and have your products stolen. Then you'll understand.

Go build a product in a competitive market and then have someone with zero business experience it's overpriced.

Here, I'll help you. You don't even need to make physical products:

Create a website that will host authoritative articles about, I don't know, auto repairs.

You will personally write all the articles.

You devote a whole year to researching and writing them. You also hire a graphic artist to create illustrations for every single article. Let's say each article takes an hour of your time (if you are really good at it) and half an hour of the artist time. In the aggregate each article cost you about $200 to produce, in time and hard costs.

At the end of twelve months you publish your website with 1,000 fresh articles that cost you no less than $200K to produce. You devoted a whole year to this, so one could very well argue there's an opportunity cost associated with the success or failure of this website. I'll place that at $100K. You invested $300K to launch this site. And then someone comes along and tells you it's overpriced.

That aside, as soon as you launch I hire a bunch of people on Fiverr to take your articles and modify them just enough to maintain the value of your research yet look and feel a little different. I pay $10 per article to steal and change your product. I invest a total of $10,000 and can probably get the work done inside of a month.

I now launch a new website to compete with yours. I can spend a few tens of thousands of dollars in marketing and outrank you with what effectively is your own content. I stole a year of your hard work and investment and made your website irrelevant by throwing money at marketing. Money you don't have because you spent it all researching and developing your product.

That is, in many ways, what is happening with the cloning of products out of China. There's nothing whatsoever good about it no matter how hard someone might want to try and distort reality to put lipstick on that pig.
I think a major issue with Turkey is that there is a large non-secular voting bloc. Historically, that has been kept in check by periodic coupes by the Kemalist military. However, Erdogan has succeeded in taming the military (as demonstrated vividly by the failed coupe). Thus, the non-secular voting bloc has escaped the historic check. I am afraid, Turkey will become less secular in the next few years. In addition, there is not much we can do externally, as evidenced by the latest referendum, Erdogan has the support of a majority of voters.
I'm Greek and I have no idea of wikipedia (or other) kind of censorship by the Greek state. I know that the Greek mass media is tightly controlled by the Greek oligarchy and Greece is 88th in Freedom of Speech Index and falling - but their grip over the populace has been severely weakened the last 5 years.

I have no idea of internet state-level censorship though, are there any specific

>> People in the West need to wake up and do their due diligence on [whatever] regime.

Yep, because that is what happened with the Eastern-Europian regimes in 1956 and 1969. History repeats itself.
I play video games from a young Turkish woman. She goes to gigs, nightclubs, drinks and socialises. She hits on guys and they hit on her. She is indistinguishable from any western 20something. I was on a voice call with her the night of the supposed coup, and listened to her and her family angrily lemmenting the administration. It seemed even on the night of they knew something was fishy. She lives in Istanbul, and is educated, so maybe I don't get a full picture of the Turkish opinion. Maybe others elsewhere support the government and its actions, blindly. She'd love to move to the UK, and would fit in well with our culture. Yet a part of the Leave campaigns was about how Turkey would one day join the EU, and then we'd have Turkish people flooding here too!!! Shock horror. It's becoming a self fulfilling prophecy by the west at this point, to turn Turkey from what it is, to what they think it is.

This is an interesting article, but the cross-validation is perhaps suspect? It seems likely the 'percentage used' indicator is based on the same underlying measurements as the 'estimated capacity' service indicator. So it's quite likely illusory validation of the 4% loss figure.
The voters elected and support an autocratic leader, however wonderful people they may be. It's not just about Erdogan.
My point was that doing those things would be good for you personally, regardless of any environmental impact.

Most American adults are overweight and should eat 5% less. Driving 5% less simply means that you would avoid one trip out of twenty, maybe by arranging to do something remotely or by taking public transport -- hardly an enormous sacrifice. Driving increases stress levels anyway, so this reduction is also good for your health.
I wouldn't worry, Maven Central is already that :)

One of the most-touted goals is to break up the JRE libraries so you could, for example, deploy it to a headless server without any of the GUI libraries. That certainly seems like a good direction, although there seem to be a bunch of other parts to it as well that I didn't know about (e.g. jlink).

My concern is more how they do it in a reasonably transparent way; it seems like a fairly different process to how it works currently, and having to implement essentially a second build process for a new version of the language seems tiresome for downstream tooling.

El Salvador is not the world. They chose an extreme solution to try to ameliorate an immediate problem. Is it globally optimal? No. Does it need to be? No.

P.S. nobody seemed to give a shit for the years that mining interests have been poisoning local populations for profit across the globe. One side effect of this extreme measure will be more publicity for the issue of dirty mining in the developing world. And consequently perhaps a move toward mining companies being better actors due to increased pressure from governments and to avoid bad PR. And if that happens then El Salvador would be able to see it, begin to trust mining companies again, and maybe allow them back in. Until that happens though there's little advantage to them of continuing the status quo.
Easily. Pretty much all of the appeal and audience attraction of Yik Yak was the anonymity and the self-regulating nature of the platform.

Last place I worked was a smaller University and it was tasked to me to keep en eye on the posts due to the potential for harassment. The system was, at the time, 5 down votes immediately cleared a post - the users were very good at moderating themselves while still preserving the rather "raw" nature of the service. People were still wry and biting and uninhibited with their comments, but outright threats and harassment seemed to get moderated pretty well. Ultimately we never intervened (Yik Yak had a system to geo-block regions from accessing the service), and for the most part it was just the equivalent of a bathroom stall wall for most of the students. Hell, often times I'd learn about network issues from Yik Yak posts before I'd get even a hint from my networking team.

You take away the anonymity and the isolating culture, you take away the magic of it. Since our Campus was situated right in the middle of a neighborhood, we'd often get nearby residents trying to participate. According to my student workers who used it, it was almost always obvious who was a student and who wasn't.

I think we're confusing 2 different costs here.

My parent was talking about Bitcoin costing a lot of money (overall) because of the amount "wasted" on mining. While this is true, it doesn't affect the costs for sending transactions. Causality actually runs in the other direction here: as transaction fees increase, more mining revenue is available, so more is spent on mining.

High transaction cost leads to high mining cost, not the other way around.

You point out that much of the value that is given to miners comes through devaluing everybody else's coins. That's true too, but also doesn't affect the cost of sending a transaction. This cost is borne in proportion to the amount of BTC you hold, rather than the amount of transactions you send.

Sure, infrastructure spending in those regions is at an all time high. Roughly 0. /s

Really, Russia is except for some large population centers pretty much bankrupt and it isn't that those parts of the world are so much better controlled it is a combination of them being so much less attractive combined with the fact that what money Russia had to spend on infrastructure it for the most part decided to spend on weapons instead. So they get to keep all of it but at the same time make their population so impoverished that once their natural gas and oil run out the whole thing will collapse even further.

I expect that by that time China will mop up the remains of the East of Russia without too much in terms of resistance because Russia simply won't be able to hold on to it.
One can hope that we wise up in the future and don't repeat our mistakes. It's naive, but sometimes hope is all we have left.
>People in the West need to wake up and do their due diligence on Erdogan's regime. There's some seriously scary stuff happening because of this guy.

Honest question, why should the west care about every single problem that happens anywhere in the world? Why should we spend billions in wars, shed lots of our own blood, etc? Haven't we had enough of that?
> It's the choice between working with the existing system to make it better versus demanding that everyone adapts to a new system that you claim is better.

Indeed, which is why we need as a society needs to pay for more rail systems, a tried-and-true mass transit system that's been around a lot longer than the more inefficient cars.

Right now roads are such a wasteful government mess that's completely unprofitable. The personal automotive transport system is a failed experiment that society needs to move on from.

And we need to stop subsidizing the wasteful and destructive suburban lifestyle.

How much more of my money do you want me to pay for your roads so you can have the luxury of riding in comfort?

Is there anything else that you would like me to pay for you?
