Because there's not enough real world evidence on the matter that one can empirically observe, and we need stats and research?

manufacturing jobs [which] comprise just 10% of all employment in America (in percentage terms, there has been a virtually uninterrupted decline since 1970's 26%) (The economist)

Or:

And even those statistics can be and are manipulated in lots of ways from pundits to make a point that "it has never been better" and that everybody migrated happily to services jobs etc. That people used to be able to buy a house and send kids to college (and put some money aside) in the 50-60s with a manufacturing job, and they don't now is rarely mentioned. Or that tons of tricks are used to reduce the unemployment numbers.

I think you're right if the designers would only end up using code for their prototypes. One of the things I really try to teach is to use the right level of prototyping for what you're trying to test (whether that be paper, clickthrough, or code prototypes). The reality though is that you don't really need courses for paper and tool-based prototyping. Invision and other tools out there have done a great job in being quickly learnable and easy to use. Front end dev however is a different beast. But if you're designing micro-interactions and anything with a lot of motion it can be really tricky to do those without code. By teaching the designers to code, it allows them to cover all ends of the spectrum when creating prototypes. Also it lets them communicate with the engineers in a much deeper way - very valuable since Atlassian has been a very engineering based company for a long time.
Anecdotally everything has moved to WhatsApp and the like even for voice calls. Even more interesting, there seems to be a trend to not even make calls and just go for chat most of the time!

That said, while phone calling has fallen out of favor, phone numbers are still the main form of 'identity' people have, and if anything the dominance of WhatsApp/Messenger has made it more common in my circles to share a phone number rather than a FB username.
How exactly does it seek to avoid failure? Doesn't it just fail or not fail without intent?
yeah, when I'm out backpacking I drink trader joe's chocolate protein powder, costs less, same nutrition facts on the label, no strange gas.

Soylent is just very good at marketing to people unfamiliar with protein powder.
Coming from Java, I would absolutely love to get my dependencies via Maven. It would even allow for multi-architecture/platform binaries and source dependencies.

In fact, another company in our corporation has gone the other way, packaging Java dependencies via nuget, and it's also OK.

Why can't people just get over their useless aversion against proven, mature solutions just because it's Java or some nonsense?
I find that incredibly hard to believe. I wonder whether you are looking at history through rose-tinted glasses or you simply don't know because other people quietly solved those problems. I ran into such problems several times in 50 line programs and not because my code was non-idiomatic or wrong. #haskell agreed it was non-trivial to get the code to perform well.
>I've been a solo dev for nearly a decade (8 years) and I found that sometimes it makes complete sense to pay for an office. Before my daughter was born, I was able to work from almost anywhere: noisy cafes, at home, the library, etc. But after she was born it was like my brain needed a space away from home where I could close a door and have a room all to myself, a place where I couldn't hear family sounds or be within walking distance of anyone I knew.

Or you could invest in some sound insulation and a good lock.
This was my life till 2011 when I renegotiated my contract to work mornings only (5 hours). That gave me afternoons off with benefit of stress-free commute home.

It wasn't easy to get the arrangement but I started off with two days of the week at first and then upped it to all five days.

If you can tolerate reduction in income, that's a respectable arrangement to start off with.
End the long work day. Higher pay, fewer hours.
I dont know why you are being downvoted. Solipsism is a real possibility.

It's totally different in that you don't pay an extra rent. The office is just a room in the house with "which is quite literally closed off from the rest by simply locking the internal door that connects the two".
No offence, but it sounds like you are perhaps jealous of companies trying out innovative programs like Stripe.
As for the "Why are they doing this?" or "how is this possible?": in the US, the way of thinking "it's the poor's fault for being poor, and they need to be shamed for being poor so that they do something to not be poor anymore" seems quite entrenched in the society.

The US is in for an even nastier surprise once all those low-skill-demand jobs like transportation are going to be automated away...
Haha, I love the reasoning there. I haven't, but you're right, I should.
But remember, UBER was playing in an unfair world. A world in which the existing Taxi companies had entrenched monopolies and yearly contracts with airports and city councils. And UBER does provide a valuable service to its users. I hate to go back to the days of having to call a yellow taxi cab to take me to the airport and then wonder if they would show up in time or not.

My GF and her little boy moved in with me recently, that was a shock to the system, I knew on a conceptual level how much time kids took but damn was I underestimating the effort required.

I try to keep him entertained as much as possible so that she gets some time for herself even its just a soak in the bath while we play xbox or something.

It's been fun and hardworking but I dont regret it either.

Fortunately they share custody so it's usually half week here, half week at his dads.

That recharge time is important and something a lot of parents never get.

> This is easier said than done because Apple is far more silo'd than other tech companies.

Apple was ridiculously siloed at least when I was there. There was such a culture of fear around leaks that teams shut themselves away from everyone else unless there was a reason to work together. This made the idea of internal transfers a remote possibility.

The only way to get to know people was WWDC and meeting colleagues at bar.

Ted Chiang interviewed
If a law is "bad" there are essentially two ways to overturn it. One is to go through the legislative body and have it amended. This is difficult and time consuming, and hard for one person to do.
The other way is to go to court, and argue that the law is bad. But about the only way to do that is to break the law. This is where civil disobedience comes in. It isn't a get out of jail free card, it is an opportunity to overthrow the law. If course, if you lose, you can go to jail.
Most people don't know what civil disobedience is in the first place. Civics education in the United States isn't great; even landmark civil disobedience like in the Sixties often elides that these folks paid the piper for their actions. Hell, I never read the Letter from a Birmingham Jail until college.

(Goes without saying that Uber's attempts to make their VCs happy are weak tea in comparison, yeah?)
In Sweden it's illegal to charge parents for anything as a school. We can do bake sales and such to fund a field trip for example (and if the money isn't raised, they save what was raised and push back the event until next time), but the school cannot base it's budget on parents paying or students paying for things.
I think nicknames are somewhat more than a Bengali thing. :)
But I think that's really the point.

Criticism of Soylent seems to be due to factors that go beyond a reasonable critical assessment of the product, and tends to be much harsher in form.

I think many people tend to assume that just because Soylent is not an appealing product for THEM, then there is not a market for it.
I've crashed and burned a couple of times trying to complete LinuxFromScratch, so I may give this a go - It seems a bit clearer on the core steps.
The seeder should not be thought of as making a copy in my view, it's the downloader who makes the copy.
One of the purposes of making money laundering a crime is that it makes it possible to investigate other crimes. You know the mob is making money and you know they're moving that money around somehow. Making money laundering a crime gives investigators a place to start their investigations. If they think a laundromat is a front for the mob, they can prove that by counting how many people are using it and comparing that to how much money they're putting in the bank at the end of the month. They can then get a warrant to investigate further. A judge shouldn't issue a warrant on a laundromat for investigating a murder when there's no clear thread that connects the two. A judge could however issue a warrant to investigate money laundering when you know the laundromat's books don't add up.

And if you have restarts without downtime, there is no need for configuration reloads anymore. Why solve the same problem in 2 ways? It would just increase a chance for bugs.

All in all, HAproxy is a brilliant piece of software and Willy is running it in an exemplary way. Kudos!
Ok! The Android problem is fixed (whew!), and now we're left with the fact that your network connection is blocking Melondream's packets.

Are you on a public WiFi network (library, coffeeshop, etc.) Or at work?

Can you use your phone's data plan, or your home Internet connection?
Can someone explain what "selling web browsing and app usage data" really means?

I don't imagine they literally package sensitive information and distribute it to anyone who pays. In which case, "they sell your data" is completely misleading.

I am so conflicted.

At my core, I believe everyone, regardless of affiliation or beliefs has a right to online privacy.

On the other, man do I freaking wish that one of the big porn sites would put up a billboard with the (private) sexual fetishes of these specific elected officials.

Edit: I would wish more for the latter if I thought it would change anything.
Oh that seems reasonable. I'm not really sure it was so obvious that I deserved down votes.
> That is the meat of why Haskell is so great. I've never so reckless refactored code as much as I do in Haskell, I just wait for the compiler to tell me what I missed and go back and fix it up. I'd never do that in C, C++, Java, etc; it'd be suicide.

I work on Java projects and do big re-factorings using IntelliJ, relying on the compiler. So this is a bit project-dependent.

Java chooses two wrong defaults - nullability by default, and mutability by default. If your project consciously chooses to not opt into these defaults, from my experience, you can use javac to guide you in fearlessly making large refactorings.
It's been some time since I have read the reviews of the big Sony devices. My recollection is that the most recent version will only handle PDFs. I think it does support making annotations but with some sort of weird limitation.

Anyway, my memory could be faulty, so it's best if you find and read the reviews yourself.
In Brazil, there are now Uber users, with fleets of cars, who no longer have to drive themselves, since these users rent the cars out to unemployed people (or those unable to have their own car) in exchange for a large part of the profits.

Case brought by an Obama era US AG.
Given the general chaos of any single school, and the amount of "normal" discipline applied across all students in aggregate, it's probably incredibly difficult for bystanders to notice and distinguish types of discipline, and the underlying motives behind disciplinary actions throughout the day.

Schools are noisy places. It's partly a signal-to-noise and triage problem.

Kids fighting wjth each other. Kids disrupting class. Long quiet noiseless periods during tests. Fixed attention while movies are shown in class. Noisy cafeterias, amid rushed, scheduled lunches. Gym class as a more general hell. During the pace of everything else, it probably just blows by, while other more chaotic events grab attention.

To the individual child, it's all-consuming. To the reader, each experience collected with similar accounts reads as deliberate child starvation. To bystanders in the moment, there's probably a moment of temporary confusion, and then it's ignored.

Kids should pretty much eat for free, especially at public schools, but in general too. It doesn't change the fact that healthy food remains expensive, and that kids will try to eat junk food as much as possible, but the last thing anyone wants to hear is kids being deprived of food for petty reasons.

It probably rings in the mind as less urgent in the moment, when there are no apparent signs of malnutrition visibly evident. Not as much the Dickensian orphanage of the imagination. In the moment, the situation probably strikes a person as the usual scolding ever-present throughout any school.
I was responding specifically to the vitamin D claim, since that was the evidence you presented to make your fairly-extreme claim (and one that I happened to have some personal knowledge about).

Even in general though, I don't see why the only thing to optimize for is as much bioavailability as possible. People care about things like cost too. (Though this opinion of mine is a lot less strong than my reaction to your initial claim)
> drivers are forced to purchase a medallion

In Germany: while taxis are required to have licenses, we don't have such things as taxi drivers renting their medallions for a day.

> and abide by other silly regulations

Regulations usually exist for good reasons. Let's just take the common complaints about the German ones:

- cab drivers have rigorous tests on their knowledge of the city's streets: you don't want to have drivers which are stuck on the side of the road if their GPS fails and also you don't want them spend a minute idling and typing the destination in the GPS. Furthermore, it makes for a more professional experience.

- cab drivers have to know lots of tourist info (this applies at least for Munich, Berlin and Hamburg): you don't want to have cab drivers unable to at least explain a bit about the city. Cab drivers are, airport staff aside, the first point of contact for tourists.

- cab drivers have to keep their car clean and maintained: once again: Cab drivers are, airport staff aside, the first point of contact for tourists. Which means that an unclean, falling-to-pieces cab will leave a negative impression on the city as a whole. Also, not properly maintained cabs are a safety risk.

- cab drivers from city A may drive passengers to city B, but not pick up passengers in city B. Once again, this is not just to protect taxi drivers in city B (because the meter in taxi A may have lower tariffs), but also to ensure a competent driver for passengers in city B.

Uber didn't grab much of a hold in Germany because the cabs here are not the total desaster that is found in other countries. Especially, we have the Beförderungspflicht, which means that a cab driver must transport you inside the licensed area, no matter how short or long the route, and especially discrimination on race or the 'hood where the passenger is hailing the cab is forbidden. The only reason for a cab driver to deny you transportation is if you're too drunk/drugged or armed/aggressive (both of which are a danger to the cab driver) or the destination is outside the licensed area (the cab driver still may set his/her own price for such routes, but very well deny you transportation if it's too far away).
>A niche that appeals to almost no one and alienates the telcos that manufacturers partner with.
So it looks like the free market is working in this case.

Okay? Who on earth said it wasn't? The original comment wasn't even particularly bitter about it. Saying you wish something existed doesn't preclude understanding the market-based reasons it doesn't.
Three is no lie, and there is no money laundering.
The problem is if you order 1000 pizzas, you are charged for them, the pizza place claims they made then, but they only delivered 1000 empty boxes... Now there is laundering going on.
There are two sides to the 'value' equation here. The telecoms can now sell your data, but that also means that somebody needs to be buying it on the other end.

This campaign does a great job of calling out Senators who sold out their voters.

I'd like to see us also call out the companies that buy the data from the telecoms. Just because it is legal, doesn't mean it is right. I'm not sure how one would track down who purchased the data, but if a billboard said "X bought your data without your consent", would shaming the purchaser also be a possibility?
Always was. Throw other peoples money at the wall hope it sticks. All they really needed was people available to drive all the time/ and not to pay those people, and it would be a awesome business model.
I'm convinced people are gambling with others money. Who pays for all these lost bets?
What do you mean by "with no issues"? Do you want to say that it doesn't drop connections? If that is the case, I would be curious to know more - but cursory search doesn't support this claim. [0]

If you mean something else then HAproxy also supports "graceful restarts several times per second with no issues". But the article is not talking about that.

You don't have to prove that that money is obtained legally. You do have to refrain from knowingly transacting with illegally obtained money. If a reasonable person would be aware that the money you are handling is not acquired legally, you can be found culpable.

You can say it's "not your job" all you like--if you are operating in the United States, you are not correct and it would go very poorly for you to try.
