I have a copper water bottle that I bought online from India:

https://i.imgur.com/3k2QBQI.jpg

I love the thing, and I was drinking water out of it...

But one time I put alcohol in it... and I took a few sips from it and I almost immediately started feeling nauseous and weird... now I'm scared to use it, even for water.
Because of copper's antibacterial properties, I investigated putting copper sink faucets in my house remodel. While it's true that it works well initially, over item film builds up on the surface preventing the benefits. You have to clean them constantly to get the benefit.
Would love to see a header only version of this library.
Very good point. If you're interested, this principle has a catchy name: Chesterton's Fence.

They do. But they just don't want to release it to the request.
Yes, some hospitals use copper plated surfaces with good results:

My current start-up doesn't have an office. A bunch of us tend to meet about 1 day per week (because there are some things which face-to-face helps with). Two of us are tens of miles apart and others are in another country and indeed travelling.

My previous start-up had a biggish remote office thousands of miles away, which I intermittently managed, but not really a fixed base for me.

In fact, I haven't really had a paid separate 'office' for about 20 years, and I seem to be doing OK as are my businesses.

So, to claim that remote working does not work is wrong.

Note: I've also worked with charlatans in two companies who were nominally 'in the office' but ripping off the employer. One had the misfortune to apply to work full time (and be accepted) for two of my clients and end up sat next to me at both. That didn't last long! The point is that 'not remote' is no guarantee of success either!
Additional data point about the missing "coastline dropshadows", on top of the general "bleaching" trend: that kind of effect is also not free to implement in WebGL or in mobile apps. Plus the folks that were involved in designing it have since left.
Yeah I get this feeling too, though I'm not sure it's motivated by the Holocaust (has Zuckerman made a big deal of being Jewish?). At least not directly. So many of my left leaning friends share these same ideas and rhetoric, even if they're against Israel.

Look at all the backlash AfD got for proposing benefits to families having children ... if they'd been citizens for at least 5 years. Things are very one sided, and even questioning that gets you labeled all sorts of things.

A FB presidency sounds extremely dystopian. Fortunately Zuck seems really unlikeable, and hopefully will not overcome that. OTOH FB is so powerful, that might not matter as much as it used to.

Not sure what can be done. Perhaps if Trump is ineffective enough Americans will get a real right wing leader?

Your comparison seems a little off. Swordplay != gunplay, they're different games. Getting run over by a tank != judo, they're different games. There is a reason those games / martial arts / races have rules.

Whereas in Go, everyone's playing the same game by the same rules, the machines are just way better at it.

PEX is relatively new. There's still a lot of plumbers/HVAC guys who exclusively work with cooper, unless the owner wants PEX.

How do I know? Contractor, and I have two rolls of Upunor on my garage, and still thinking (three years thinking) about doing my re-pipe in copper. Actually I have enough sticks of copper to do the job.

Now--I just need the energy,mand motivation. Maybe today?

Perhaps it's also a cultural difference? Notice how Japan has the same rate of homicides as Singapore? Perhaps it's a cultural thing more so than a policy thing working out in Asia.

Comparing countries with corporal punishment with their intentional homicide rate leads to no conclusion.

The United States have tried harsher punishments for decades now, and it's not working out. Perhaps a different method is devised?

Besides, you may approve of legal corporal punishment, but I am not sure everyone in the West does.

Then I believe you would be mistaken.

Terrorism isn't warfare, it is a strategy. The object is to get two groups to conflict aka sectarianism.

I'd say Islamic terror coupled with MENA mass migration is well on its way to producing low intensity civil conflict in countries such as France.

Examining the civil wars in Lebanon and Syria will likely reveal a series of escalating attacks before they broke out proper.

You're saying the spark from each struck match is not meaningful. I agree, but we're at Gas Station across the street from the Dynamite Store!
The etymology of broccoli to mean weed, at least amongst my family/acquaintances, comes from the practice of trying to persuade children to eat broccoli by referring to florets as "trees"
> the fact that you could do almost whatever you wanted in vm86 code was essentially an feature and that Win16 code could access any other Win16 process data was weird design decision that is also shared by all NT versions up to 2000 (where it is configurable).

Hey, I actually liked that! Back when Internet was young and the OS was single-user, I felt like I had more control over my own machine than I do now. Being able to mess with other processes' memory was a feature for me :).
Yes, but for example, in the U.S. you can get a lot more damages for certain legal concepts which I don't think are present or as well recognized in many European countries. For example, there's the idea of "pain and suffering." So if you're physically harmed by someone, you can claim costs for your hospital stay, damage to your property, missed work, etc, but you can also get an additional sum because of the "pain and suffering" you had to endure.
That doesn't sound normal. Many alcohol stills use copper (wikipedia has this bit of information: "(a copper still) removes sulfur-based compounds from the alcohol that would make it unpleasant to drink")

Better optimizations? AFAIR, the go compiler does some optimizations, but it does not bend over backwards, exactly. Maybe hooking up to llvm can help with that, if it is a goal. (Mmmh, does LLVM optmize at all, or does it just provide a framework for people trying to build optimizing compilers? I don't really know.)

Also, llvm by now reaches far more platforms than the current go compiler. I think that this is the most likely explanation.
Wouldn't something like HIMEM or QEMM run it?
As a legacy of modern civil rights gains, any company that does federal business has to comply with a stricter set of civil rights law. Of course, if they don't want to that's their prerogative, but they can't receive federal funds.
I've just returned from a charity programming event and there are many companies I know of from there and elsewhere who successfully have fully or partially built remote teams.

In my experience as a remote developer it works out well, but the one draw back is it takes much more time to develop good rapport with people when you're not communicating in person.

My biggest suggestion is trusted referrals. People will trust a remote developer more if the person they were referred by is already some one they trust. I was hired to program in a language I'd never heard of because of a glowing referral from an old friend and that ended up working out well.
20 years of individual experience does not give you nearly as much data as "a bunch of studies and statistics". Being glib about the scientific method doesn't make you better than it.
The problem is that more supply means lower prices so there is a conflict in the medical profession, on the one hand everyone recognizes that tired workers make mistakes but on the other the profession is wary of dilution. In Europe it was really only the Working Time Directive that has had any real impact and the UK succeeded in negotiating an opt-out.

Norway enforces working time regulations and the result is that more doctors have to be employed. About 44 per 10k according to this WHO page: http://www.who.int/gho/health_workforce/physicians_density/e....

However, there is also a different attitude to work here. Generally Norwegians work to live not live to work. In a population of less than five and half million it is reckoned that 100 thousand work enough extra hours a day so that they can take Friday off every week. Even those who don't typically often stop work early on a Friday and make up the time some other day. Salaried employees generally have the ability to vary their hours, can often work at home quite frequently simply because they feel like it, and so on.

I realize that a lot of that is difficult to apply directly to the medical profession but the general idea that overwork is bad for you and the work surely isn't

Edit: a few typos.
I'm a fan of RDBMS (E-R) and SQL - it's cute and all for things like purchase orders and shopping carts and orders and receipts and the like. But for things like clinical informatics (even the non-semantic kind), graph traversal is easier than the unholy join from hell. For example.
You sound like someone who knows a lot about computer science. If that's the case, this PDF is probably not for you because the (perfectly correct and valid) math in it is very, very basic/elementary. You should be reading something more appropriate for your level of mathematical sophistication.
I was once framed for theft by a co-worker. (The investigation exonerated me.)

Thanks for your answer! That's quite true that 'not remote' isn't guarantee of anyhting either.

What I have been talking with ppl, there is few other questions in the air about remote working. How do you track that everyone does their job, or dont. How you can know they actually do something and doesn't outsource it. If job is testing or research how can you track that job is really done. And the most common question is "how can you know that they actually do 8 hours per day?"

Do you have anything to share on these question? Tools or good practices?
I would suspect visible gang graffiti in the areas would fit the data. But I'm not going to visit just to check on it.
Idk, tony is my programming role model. Fantastic guy, extremely knowledgeable, explains things in very approachable way. Love him to death.

He's helped me fix MANY stupid type puzzles, and scalaz scumbags ran him out of the entire language.

I mainly do f# and erlang now :(

Scala has plenty of problems aside from the users. I can't begin to explain how terrible sbt is to people who haven't suffered its grasp. Sbt imo is the single most critical obstacle preventing widespread adoption. It's awful.

There's too much politics in the scalaverse. The people are too whiny, the tooling whines even more than the people, and its a damn shame because it's really great code at the end of the day. Its the most fascinating objfunctional I know of, though F# isn't bad at all. Great tooling too, but poor native support.

Has anyone ever experiment and come up with a fair compensation calculation model?

I want to start with base compensation for every seniority and every job title. Then adjust according to both inflation, location, as well as guaranteed yearly growth of salary.
Good point. Seems like a language either needs to be non profit and open sourced, or profitable and closed source.

Non profit and closed source seems like a formula for doom and destruction.
Seriously Mozilla?

The Indian ID drive has ensured that benefits make it to the people who need them without 80% of it being skimmed by corrupt bureaucrats.

Having a real identification gives very poor individuals the identification necessary to open bank accounts and interact with the financial sector.

It's the first really reliable census data for a lot of areas.

It's disgusting that Mozilla sits there and pontificates about stopping programs which solve problems _they don't have_. In 50 years, when a couple hundred million Indians aren't having trouble getting enough to eat because their government subsidies were stolen, then maybe it's worth having this conversation. Until then, shut up and and let India solve its own problems, and don't help people starve to death on account of your pompous moral litmus tests.
But we sort of have that already. First offences tend to get lesser sanctions, including probation, which is an attempt to curb bad behavior without imprisonment. In California at least, the three strikes law means that three convictions above a certain threshold result in a life sentence. This sometimes makes the news when the third conviction is relatively minor, like shoplifting. California also has lifetime confinement for dangerous child molestors after completion of sentence.
In a way, I find it a bit like using Ruby but with a more formally consistent design philosophy...as one might expect when a language has a formal specification and a corporate pedigree.
There are plenty battery extenders, not that nice, but "when you need it" you can buy a suitcase with a battery in it.
I was surprised to see this is done with real hardware. I had expected VMs, or faking the user agent, or even reverse engineering the http requests and replaying them. Surely the economics is far better than buying 10s of thousands of phones. I guess theres a reason I haven't thought of.
Yeah, which is why I agree for the most part for most crimes. On the one hand, footing the bill to rehabilitate very gross crimes like that doesnt seem like just punishment, and I suppose thats the problem is I think they should be punished. Not sure you can have it both ways, but perhaps.

I do think harsher punishments would be additional incentive for people to keep themselves in check, but that obviously wont work with some, and may incur other undesirable consequences. Anyways, difficult problem for sure.
What other individual traits and axes (apart from gender) are "protected from pay discrimination" in the US?

I'm genuinely curious -- is there an official enumeration?

I ask because there's no limit to the number of ways you can slice and dice a human population, based on a million facets each person has. So I wonder, where did the legislators draw the line? And why? Why not somewhere else?
Thanks for the answer!

Trusted referrals sound good, but I think it works only if company is already open minded for remote work. In the other hand if developer is so good and good referrals it might work.

Can you share was there remote workers in the company before you?
Strong Opinions weakly held (2008)
And French! E.g. John Searle's comment on Michel Focault,

> 'Don't be ambiguous', 'don't be too wordy, be brief', 'be orderly' and 'avoid obscurity' are the four Maxim's of manner. And I think those are frequently violated. In fact, there are certain schools of philosophy---not once I'm sympathetic with---where they are more or less systematically violated. I don't know if I've told you this story but I once had a conversation with a famous French philosopher who's a friend of mine and I said to him "Why the hell do you write so badly, pourquoi écris-tu si mal", and he said, "Look, if I wrote as clearly as you do people in Paris wouldn't take me seriously. You know, they would think it's childlike and naive." [...] In France you got to have 10% incomprehensible otherwise people won't think it's deep. (http://www.openculture.com/2013/07/jean_searle_on_foucault_a...)

I think this is one of the great contributions of the anglophone academic sphere, the idea that you should try to aim to be easy to understand.
I'm not sure why doctors would need to wait for more doctors to be available before collectively putting their foot down and refusing to work these incredibly insane hours.

It still boggles my mind that the medical profession puts up with this this horrible practice that costs the lives and physical and mental health of both doctors and patients.
Quite a lot of mixed gossip in the Daily Mail article

Does anyone know what sort of data they collect on people to identify them? One reason I ask is that I wonder how such a system could be used to provide a "scientific" answer as to what caste a person belongs. That would obviously be a little worrisome if it were possible.
Someone recycled garbage content with a clickbait title and it's Weird AF
He was absolutely out of touch. At no point he ever considered the basic human, as an animal species, instincts, tendencies, mechanisms and other mechanics surrounding human societies. His idea of society is an equivalent of designing an everlasting engine with assumptions like friction, radiation, air resistance and evaporation doesn't exist. He discarded reality, created his own reality in his own mind and pushed an idea as worthy of some kind of significance.

The only thing that this man taught me is how far you can get just by being super persuasive.
I remember reading an article about this. I think the "be" form distinguishes between current and habitual/regular action.

He working. ==> He is working right now.

He be working. ==> He works regularly./He has a steady job.

Or maybe it's the other way around; I read the article a long time ago.

Good idea, I hope it gets developed much further. To cover the lack of apps you should concentrate on providing native internet browser with good PWA (progressive web apps) support. That way only a few native apps will be needed by user, e.g. dialer, SMS messenger.
Copper intake needs to be balanced out by zinc intake since they are antagonists regarding resorption in the intestines (This article says 1 copper to 15 zinc: http://www.livestrong.com/article/336425-side-effects-of-tra...), so if you supplement a lot of zinc you might be fine using such a pot.
kotlin does not reimplement java API. Instead it have it's own "wrappers" for collections and primitive types. This wrappers are just platform specific types that is replaced directly to native ArrayList and others by compiler. This is more like just using Java API instead of reimplementing it. If Oracle will sue someone for using their API to build Java apps - it will be the end for everything.
DeepMind's mission is to build AGI. I think it's probably good if they have a buffered lead on all other efforts. That concern probably weighs on decisions about releasing code.

The rationale for why a buffer would be good is described by Demis Hassabis here: https://youtu.be/h0962biiZa4?t=11m24s

...the main points are: there may be safety considerations along the way that are costly. More "capitalistic" organizations may decide to shortcut those costs because of the winner-take-all scenario. DeepMind is at least nominally very committed to safety.

Releasing AlphaGo's source code would probably reduce DeepMind's buffer, which in theory, would also reduce safety.
From my experience the failures were almost always caused by a power loss.

Not really. A woman at Google can be paid well above industry average, and still be paid less than her male Google peers. In that case, she would have no incentive to leave for higher pay elsewhere (since few places beat Google pay), but Google would still have broken employment law if that pay discrepancy is pervasive.
This is ridiculous fearmongering at a scale unseen before, given the enormous amount of corruption in Indian public distribution schemes, Aadhar has potential to be revolutionary in not only reducing corruption but also in providing poor people in India with assistance that they currently lack. Its easy to be a rich and employed in SF and pontificate about how other countries should run their government.

Mozilla is equivalent of those who criticized "Green revolution" because if fed starving people without causing "social revolution" etc. Aadhar has potential to cause "Digital revolution" and decades from now Mozilla will be on the wrong side of history.

Finally any Indian in USA simply has no right to criticize Aadhar since the US Visa process requires biometrics from all visitors.
