What I've understood is that if the change that's detrimental is compensated for by other attributes that do connote fitness this can be an evolutionarily stable strategy. That is, if the the bird is able to survive even with the club wings that is in fact an indication of relative fitness and the club wings can be selected for. Though I've only heard this theory in reference to things like bulking/attractive plumage that itself connotes some kind of fitness. For example, those birds with crazy long tails are arguably less able to hunt or whatever but the ones that do hunt effectively cause the female to think: wow so attractive! And he can manage to provide.
I'm not a big fan of mailing list software that modifies the non-header parts of messages. But, for instance, some of the signature schemes utterly break the ability of a mailing list to send mails on to the rest of the list members while preserving all the headers.
>You are going to need rangers to patrol anyway to see if the cars/vans have people sleeping in them.

Yes but they only have to do a single pass and they can nab everyone sleeping in their vehicle. To catch people going to the toilet in public they need to be there all the time.

>Have overnight washrooms and have cameras to monitor them(obviously not inside the washrooms)

What good do cameras outside the washrooms do to stop vandalism inside?

I apologize only because what I am about to say may sound crass, but the length of your diatribe only adds to the fruitlessness of your central point.

Even a complex idea can be explained far more briefly.

The fact that you felt compelled to respond to my chastising in such a fashion speaks to your defensive position.

Men and women are in no way the same, but to extend that to the capacity for rational or logical thought is ridiculous and unfounded -- at least in your response. You resolved to ply me and and everyone else with the opinion of a colleague you agree with and only that - that serves nothing.

In short, I'll be more crass: you're full of shit.

In terms of the development status, does the current codebase generally work with React?

I'm happy to throw this at my codebase and report bugs, but whether React itself (which is ~95% of my bundle size) is expected to work (unlike some other optimising products) would say a lot about what the expectation might be.
Like the other comment says, there's a lot of "Hollywood accounting" style misdirection going on with subsidiaries in one country paying subsidiaries in another country paying subsidiaries in another country paying subsidiaries in another country... until finally the money ends up in the Caymans and Apple can claim they didn't realize a profit in any jurisdiction that charges tax on profit.
Because most of it is wrong?

Most of the speech is around ideas that have been proven wrong over and over again. It's the same as when people come in and talk about a database that "solves" CAP.

Perhaps a better example is climate denial. Why do I have to listen to decades old debunked discussions over and over again?

EDIT: I also disagree with the premise. Loads of polite company will happily discuss immigration restriction and beyond. Though that's not your main point, I suppose.

It's not society's job to have all speech be acceptable. It's speakers' job to actually formulate ideas in a way that society accepts.

If you can't, the simplest explanation is that you're wrong, not that you're innovative.

"Most of the globe" does not obviously mean the same thing as "most countries". "Most of the people" would be a much more plausible interpretation than a metric that gives Swaziland equal weight with China.

"Most of the area" would also be a plausible interpretation, but "most countries" isn't.
It'd be great if he actually explained any of that. One of the problems I've had with vim and emacs is the average user is so far into it they forget all of the base stuff that new users have issues with, so most guides skip all of that. It's gotten better with both of them with the package managers. However because they're so flexible I find that most users customize the key bindings in one way or another. And so when they show off how to do things it doesn't translate as all of the keys are different and I not only have to map the new feature of the new editor I have to also go through a key translation map. It is a very high barrier to entry. Same thing goes with all of the plugins people install. Emacs and vim are so far from stock on most people's machines it's impossible for me to learn by following.

I took a emacs class at a very good tech conference and I was 1 minute late and missed the key bindings changes the instructor had made as the first step. I was unable to follow anything for the next 30 minutes and walked out and got my money back. (This is much more an issue with the instructor than the editor).

I do like both of them and try and learn them every few years but I also try and be flexible across as many editors as I can be so I can help as many of my junior engineers out as possible. But jumping on someone's vim or emacs is like switching to dvorak. It's also pretty toxic for pairing unless everyone has agreed on setup.
I'm a developer on Chrome OS, and this struck me as hilarious.

It does make me wonder: with all the pressure to tweak keyboard designs for compactness and find places to put keys, I wonder why most keyboards still include the caps-lock key?

Could you explain how Apples cash abroad makes them "winners" in a practical sense for the country

In an alternative universe, Apples profit would have been taxed, and everything would have been the same, except that they would have 2/3rd of the amount in bank than they do now. But the US govt would have a bit more resources to help build the infra/research to build more companies like Apple.
Great job on this! It has a good amount of polish that you should be proud =)

Interesting that Workflowy has been laggy for your buddy. I've been using it since 2011 and only tend to have lag problems only when using it in IE (or Edge now) when at work, as well as Firefox for some reason. Safari and Chrome have virtually no problems with the size of my document.

This is my Facebook experience.

I didn't unfollow everyone like the grandparent, but I have no desire to go to the main sight. I, however, use messenger constantly (via messenger.com) because it's a unified service that all my friends are on. I've been pretty satisfied with it, but Facebook keeps adding more and more features that I have no interest in and clutter the UI.

If I used a bot to delete all of my posts (and literally everything else) after which, I deleted my account... is that actually deleted? Edit: It's been a year or more since doing this.

It was such a time waster, and I felt that... if I remove some of my data, it might be a good idea. It is a bit tinfoil-y, I admit but the less data that is out there, the better since Facebook is going into a lot of other markets.

Edit 2: Reason for deletion was that I noticed some of my very old posts were not created by me but said they were. I assume it was either a virus or, more likely, some of my friends xD... I am sure the teenagers can relate.. people go on your screen in labs and write "HACKED" (NOT REALLY SILLY!!!)
I agree Prop 13 is also terrible, leads to large inequity in property taxes, and this problem should be solved, however, I'm not sure its directly related to whether you should be able to live in your car on the street for free.
Well if you make those arguments then yes banning sleeping in cars is the easier solution.
It's worth noting that you need access to a Mac you can trust to setup your Apple developer credentials on as well as iSign and then export your credentials and certificate from each time you get a new certificate. It's likely you won't be able to do this in the Apple store. While you or I may have a colleague or trusted friend we could do this with, many developers will not.
More prosaically, Russia wants it's oil to be worth more. The crash in oil prices due to the US shale/fracking revolution, and Saudi pricing war to try to bankrupt the frackers, has smashed Russian oil profits, and caused Putin heartburn. Destabilizing the middle east raises oil prices, enmeshes the US in a no-win conflict, and imposes massive costs on EU powers, leading to xenophobia, rise of far right, and possibly the breakup of the EU. Win, win, win.

And POTUS likes Putin? What a doofus.

Well all homeowners who voted for Prop 13 effectively were voting against future homeowners, but this doesn't represent all homeowners. Some are still likely anti-density and limiting new housing but not all.
Its actually the most plausible. If you go for 'most people', the most spoken language isn't English, its Chinese. Yet ask people, and they will happily point towards English. If you go for 'most area' you again run into a problem, because Russia and Canada are totally out of whack with regards to population per square km. 'Most countries' is the happy middle ground.

Unfortunately, I can't ask them, as my mother has passed away, and my father will not talk about it. The fact that my Dad wasn't interested in genetic testing was my first hint, as that is very unlike him. But it makes sense in the larger pattern- I am the youngest of the family by 15(!) years, and all of my siblings were adopted. It seems pretty clear in retrospect that my parents likely had to use a sperm bank. I've had my suspicions for a while, so this wasn't the complete shock it could have been.

Still threw me for a loop at first, though.
Not for this purpose. It's all about knowing where the boundaries are.

Ya well, like I say, it is a mess. But Kim can't be left to continue. Regardless of how Russia and China feel about the situation.

What about other people who want to use parking in the neighborhood, if your RV is parked in the spot permanently no one else can use the spot. If there was a parking tax, even an absurd one with Prop 13 level restrictions it would still be better than free parking for your RV on the street.

Honestly, the blame here lies with the publishers, not the advertisers. The way they try to maximize revenue forces out the legit advertisers and only leaves room for bad actors...If advertisers truly controlled how they paid for media, we wouldnt have these bad actors...

Case in point, when was the last time you felt an Ad on Google was disruptive or predatory or spammy? They forced quality score to determine the cost to advertise...Adwords is one of the most effective ad channels out there and one of the most expensive and its all because they aligned their offering with what was best for advertisers.

As long as publishers sell ad space in a way that doesnt align with driving profitable ads for advertisers, youll get stuck with bad actors and deeply disruptive ads...

As long as publishers sell eyeballs, we all lose...once they start selling context and results, and truly care about driving value for advertisers, we are doomed to this ad blocking world...

The problem is not advertisers its publishers not aligning their offering with whats best for their users and advertisers long term

Immigration issues aren't climate change.

Why is it a moral imperative to import, abuse, and discard Mexican and Guatemalan workers to pick your fruit and butcher your meat? Why could you drive around to Home Depot in the morning and see construction guys and landscapers hiring mostly immigrant, often illegal day laborers for cash?

My grandparents were able to migrate here legally in the 1940s without a pimp-like corporate sponsor holding them hostage or living illegally and being a second class citizen. Flooding the market with cheap labor that works cheap because they have no agency of their own hurts everyone.

If you want immigration that's fine, but don't advocate for the status quo -- take on immigrants as equals. If we did that, we might find that impoverished classes of US citizens would have an opportunity to enter the workforce.

First - it is not racism if the gp would react disapprovingly to other nations also buying. If Russia and China places were changed, I have a feeling that he would complain about those pesky Russians buying in Vancouver.

Second - for a lot of people obtaining citizenship and residence permit in any other way than by being born or married into it is not acceptable. And outright buying it is disgusting.

Five percent in market with inflexible demand and severely constraint supply is huge.

And lets not start on the money origins which could be very shady. Do you want people with shady money in country? And why?

Disliking the side effects of immigration is not in anyway racist.

You still need access to Apple hardware. From my other comment on a similar tool: "It's worth noting that you need access to a Mac you can trust to setup your Apple developer credentials on as well as iSign and then export your credentials and certificate from each time you get a new certificate. It's likely you won't be able to do this in the Apple store. While you or I may have a colleague or trusted friend we could do this with, many developers will not."
It's necessary to generalize somewhat for the sake of conversation. It should be obvious my comments don't apply to every individual, but to macro-level effects on culture. Any individual who embraces western liberal values should be welcome, regardless of where they're from.

There is significant compatibility between Eastern and Western cultures, and each has a lot to offer the other. Not really the case with Islamic culture - but perhaps one thing it can unwittingly provide is help us to rediscover the values that made the West great.

It's also unfair to compare the current situation with previous cultures that have immigrated. There are no Irish enclaves or no-go zones that I'm aware of. There is plenty of interaction between Chinese and "white" communities.

But in the UK and France, the children of Muslim immigrants are MORE radicalized than their parents. Their majority views on abortion, domestic violence, LGBT rights and democracy are abhorent. There's no ignoring this - multiculturalism in this instance is failing.

You're kind of right in that, although I do believe in Western liberals values, I currently have little confidence in our collective desire to promote them. In our current confusion about what our values are, we are ripe for exploitation by other inferior cultures.

And yes, I said inferior because I'm not a postmodernist or cultural relativist. I may not have all the data, but I'm not afraid to make the value judgement that so many others are.
If ads were served from the same domain the page came and integrated into the page so it didn't affect the navigation of the website or grab the navigation from you if you're trying to read the page, far fewer people would object.
