Hit them where it hurts: state regulators. If you're in New York, for example, complain to the Department of Financial Services (DFS) [1]. They're hard hitting and know what they're doing. (I think California's analog is the California Department of Business Oversight (DBO), though it isn't, to my recollection, as intimidating as DFS.)

"Have you considered the possibility that maybe it is you who is misunderstanding people?"

Well, we have two alternatives here:

1) A person who grew up in a culture has a gross misunderstanding of the norms of that culture.

2) Someone who grew up in a totally different culture has a gross misunderstanding of the norms of that culture.

Now, which of those two seems more likely to you?

The merchant can't 'return' things it never got. The fees are billed by the bank to the user. That's none of Uber's business, and (more importantly): Uber has no way to verify if the user had those fees, and if the users screenshots are correct.

If guns were meant to protect us from our government--well we already have an overtly anti-constitutional, criminal government with disproportionate powers residing in unelected individuals.

Oh but if we make guns illegal--well there already are too many unregistered that it would empower criminal interests, both economically from a black market, and from having relatively more firepower.

Ah but you just want to "save lives?" Well if you want to save people's lives isn't it easier to ignore all this bullshit and do something like go supply clean drinking water to an undeveloped part of the world?
That would be a very firm "no". Guns are verboten in the education system, at least where I grew up and went to school. Even talking about guns was a huge "no". Of course, this was only 20 minutes from Sandy Hook, so perhaps not an unreasonable reaction. But still, the fear culture around guns is making it harder and harder to have reasonable discourse about them.
Obviously they are using a hosted wordpress service, which has nothing to do with their application and the content of the blog.
This is too emotional. Emotions are the first to go when you get punched in the face.
and how many will die from starvation this year? Here's a hint, more than all those who died from nuclear accidents and dam breaks. You could total them all up and you might get to this year's starvation numbers.

The point is, there is no good outcome in a pissing match over what has the most negative impact when we routinely ignore any number of causes of death that we can be fixing but don't.

Interesting that the author didn't mention ambient light levels explicitly.

A constricted pupil (from daylight) has a much greater depth of field than a dilated one (from darkness). So everything will appear sharper in the light of day.

Do at least some practice in low light conditions.
Yes, in the sense that the game software would interface with hardware (more) directly, service interrupts, and manage its own low-level i/o, you might could say that it was its own OS. Some software, like GEOS, would completely replace KERNAL with its own OS, API, etc.

(KERNAL was very simple compared to what we think of as operating systems today -- only 8K, no virtual memory, and no processes.)
Thanks! Me too! :-)
The question was "do we need it? (for a specific use case)" rather than "should we do it?".

And it does make sense for Open Source code because the resources are limited hence other features and/or bug fixes might be more important than pushing data at full speed
I don't use any GNOME Shell extensions at all and I'm really happy with it.

Note the sponges, particularly this one:

http://genomics.senescence.info/species/entry.php?species=Sc...

"Animals of this and similar species of Antarctic sponges grow extremely slowly in the low temperatures. Estimates based on growth rates suggest a very long lifespan in this and similar animals. One two meter high specimen in the Ross Sea was estimated to be 23,000 years old, though because of sea level fluctuations in the Ross Sea it is unlikely that such an animal could have lived for more than 15,000 years. Even if 15,000 years is an overestimate, which may well be the case, this specimen appears to be the longest-lived animal on earth."

As a longtime Unity user, I hope they maintain the tiling-by-keyboard function of Unity in the new GNOME (or maybe it's a part of GNOME already).

I like using the keyboard as my main input for everything except scrolling. The more I can use the keyboard on a laptop, and the easier it is to know those hotkeys (holding down Meta key on Unity), the better.

If you haven't used Unity in a while, spin up a 17.04 VM to give it an hour or so of use. Makes you appreciate how far it's come.

Back when the Ask Tog piece came out, I wrote a Slashdot comment along the same lines as this article.

I had one additional point. Keeping in mind that this uses a WYSIWIG editor, use a very slightly different benchmark task: instead of replacing every ‘e’ with ‘|’, replace every ‘l’ with ‘|’ — and by the way, your text is in 6 point Helvetica. And you'd better not miss any, or replace any ‘I’s.

The key (badum tish) is that characters on a keyboard are semantically connected to characters in a document, in a direct and obvious way. By contrast, there is no such direct link between mouse (or touch) and the document, only a transient link via the document's current presentation. With a keyboard, you can operate on text; with a mouse, you can only operate on pictures of text.
Yes, that sounds like a great reason to wait for a cheaper price. (Imagine the discount if they screwed up the Model 3 launch.)

I think it wouldn't be too difficult to diassemble/modify the Hello Sense App to redirect your data to a custom server that at least logs the received data. Would anyone else be interested in making this happen to have an option when the servers shut down? Otherwise, the app won't work at all.
Nope, because plain-text is incompatible with centuries of mathematical notation.

> I had a few hours registered to a game I could never get to work beyond a few turns but since I "played" it I was not entitled to a refund.

Cough, ahem, No Man's Sky...

According to Steam I'd played around 40 hours, but in reality most likely <10 hours active and stupidly left the game idling a couple of nights which racked up the hours.

I tried to get a refund from Steam and was refused, I then tried a charge back from PayPal and Steam stepped in and more or less told me that if I continue down this road I'll be locked out of all my games.

A few lessons learned:

1. Don't pre-purchase games

2. Wait a couple of weeks for real gamer reviews

3. Avoid Steam/digital distributions for higher value games.

This has certainly soured me from buying anything costing more than a few quid on Steam.
When you say 'this could be popular saying' are you meaning that it may be wrong because it's popular?

I'd be curious to know your results, in any case. I've had mixed outcomes from conventional (commercial shampoos) and have also been trying to identify causal factors (worse in winter, especially after a few days of wearing a beanie, worse when I'm staying near a high-pollution area, etc). It's all anecdata, but OTOH not beyond our abilities to thoughtfully analyse.

I was only disputing the "truly egalitarian" part. Seems like you didn't mean it then?
A refund is a settlement to avoid a tort.
is it just me or is this article written like someone who did a few google searches for old organisms and then writes down their speculations in the form of what some would call an article?

tl;dr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(tree)

"However, the oldest, precisely measured organism living on Earth today remains, for now, a Great Basin Bristlecone pine tree. Pando the quaking aspen and Antarctic glass sponges could be much older but their ages are assumed from indirect measurements and educated guesswork. "
Yet we keep being told, "Oh no, it's safe this time. Really." and then Fukushima happens. Not to mention cleanup costs that started at $50B are now estimated to surpass $0.2T. I would be surprised if they don't double a couple more times before all is said and done, and that's fractions of a trillion dollars.
That would be great, although personally speaking I like to keep all my bookmarks in one place, so it wasn't that useful for me. However, I do favourite particularly interesting comments sometimes, and would love to see what other people have saved as very often they're more interesting than the link itself.
You're friends were replaced by chat bots long ago. We've all been watching you like a mini ascii truman show.
Anecdotal but related:
My grandfather shot competitively and as a hobby for most of his life (mostly skeet, occasional trap and pistols). Until the 90's he also taught gun safety and competitive marksmanship at a (comparatively very wealthy) area high school. He was dropped from that role as a knee-jerk reaction to the Columbine shooting, as it was deemed "too dangerous" to allow guns, even well controlled and in professional hands and for the purpose of teaching safety and responsibility, on the school property.

I don't know how this played out in the rest of the US, but I have a feeling that there aren't many (if any schools) that allow guns on their campuses, even if for the sake of education.

Clojure Linear Algebra Refresher (3) – Matrix Transformations
Having spent a lot of time in emacs, vim and plan9's acme(1) editor (which uses the mouse heavily):

The speed is about the same for most work. The time spent thinking is the major task which happens, so the time it takes to edit your buffer is not that dominating.

When you have unique reordering which you only have to do once, the mouse in acme(1) tend to beat emacs/vi. One subtle trick is that the acme cursor sits "between" characters, not "on" a character, which makes selection of text much faster. Also, if you click on eg, { it marks to the }. You need a precise mouse and some acceleration to make mouse flicks possible, but then it absolutely rocks.

On the other hand, whenever you have a repeated task, you are better off programming a solution. Here macros or vi move-style comes in handy. In acme(1), you use the built-in command language (which is close to the sam(1) command language). It is a bit easier in emacs/vi I think, but only a bit.

disclaimer: I didn't really time myself, so there may be a perception mistake in these observations. But I don't find one method vastly faster than the other. In a typical editing session, the mix of tasks makes sure that on average the editing speed is about the same. OTOH, I have enough muscle memory for emacs-fluency, so a newcomer would probably be faster on the mouse than in a keyboard-binding-experienced vi/emacs programmer.
Plain text in what encoding, with what character set? We start adding implementation details and suddenly it's not as straightforward.
There was very little OS needed. Most of the keyboard and joystick reads were single memory locations, there was no ROM support for graphics or sound, and most games bootstrapped in a fast loader anyway (later for copy protection as well). If necessary, a program could flip the ROM back into memory space to perform I/O, then flip it back out to use the RAM underneath.
I type at least that fast, and the keyboard is still a bottleneck for me sometimes.

When using emacs/vim and primarily using the keyboard, there are extra gains to be had by typing faster, because you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate, find text, etc.

Unless you're playing a videogame, it's unlikely that you'll practice or improve on your mouse coordination and make significant gains there.
Hey all, I'm the author if this post, let me know what you think. I'll be posting more on this topic in the future and would love to hear others share their logging ups and downs and so inform future topics.
There’s no such thing as “plain text”.

Is this UTF-8, latin-1, 7 bits ASCII…?
Try http://itch.io , too (Disclaimer: my company has uploaded games here). It's incredibly developer friendly and they host game jams constantly http://itch.io/jams
There are plain text versions for that as well.
You can run Steam games in "Offline mode" if the network goes down and you were most recently logged into that computer, for up to (iirc?) 30 days.

And reinstalling the games is easy. You can install a copy on any computer you log into. You just can't play more than one at a time.

If you played a game for more than a couple hours, are you really entitled to a refund? And when you mention "Even games dropped by developers don't matter to Steam" do you mean early access games?

Caveat emptor. Digital distribution won't magically prevent you from buying bad games. Look at reviews, try the game for an hour or two, and ask for a refund if you don't like it.
What about the existing "standard", PowerPoint slides and PDFs? Although most of my notes could be plain-text, any graphs or figures need pictures. ASCII art doesn't cut it.
Whoa! The beginning of the end of the end.
Unicode has some symbols. But there is limited ability to arrange them freely.

> tiling-by-keyboard function of Unity in the new GNOME

At the moment you can only maximize to the left or right. Depending on the work done during GUADEC the quarter tiling functionality might be ready for GNOME 3.26. It actually already was available in one unstable version, then taken out in the next version.

I'm really looking forward to better support to divide your screen. With screens such as 2560x1440 it helps to have more options than just "two on one screen". Some people also use e.g. a huge (e.g. 40") 4K monitor. Then you'd want really good window management.

I cannot speak from experience having created a startup in Melbourne, but I am Australian and can perhaps give some perspective.

- How was the internet speed?
If you choose the right suburb you might end up with fibre to the home, which is fast. If you don't, you'll end up with ADSL2, which sucks. Be careful - though the inner city will likely have at least adequate speeds for streaming.

- Where did you work?
There are lots of coffee shops and co-working spaces in Melbourne.

- Is it easy for someone moving from outside to blend in?
Yes, I have American friends who have moved to Melbourne and decided to stay forever. It is a very multicultural city which overall is accepting of everyone. You will find bad eggs on the outskirts, but that is the case almost anywhere.
Why would anyone use steam then?
Content marketing is a good place to start with no budget. Blog about what you are trying to achieve with your app.
As others have mentioned, once you dig into the innards and nuances of plain text representations and formats, things can get hairy. Still, I think the author is correct in that plain text formats are certainly a better base for sharing curricula, and for knowledge production in general, than something proprietary like word docs, pdfs, etc.

I think markup languages like markdown which are both fairly easy to convert into other formats and deliciously human readable are the way to go.

A list of Marissa Mayer's/Yahoo's accomplisments with her at the helm....

https://marissamayr.tumblr.com/post/161775943139/nostalgia-g...

Even though all of these gains, plus more as core yahoo lost value was from Alibaba this does look impressive at a first glance.....

> We oversaw the creation $43B in market capitalization and shareholder value. Our market cap has gone from $18B to $51B (increasing our valuation by $33B), while we returned nearly $10B in cash to shareholders.

Sadly the list of employee gains seems very spartan compared to the shareholder gains.

For those of you wondering what the Yahoo/Altaba shell contains now...

- approximately 15 percent equity stake in China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.,

- about 36 percent in Yahoo Japan Corp.,

- cash and marketable debt securities,

- certain minority investments and Excalibur IP, which owns some patent assets.
Then that's good, because you already understand perfectly what is being built so you can focus on the how. Which is the point of the article.
No, I meant US permanent residency which takes 10+ years in EB2. For Canada, one can easily get a PR via Express Entry. Which is why many people like me are strongly considering Canada irrespective of salary.
Really? Because when it comes to something testable, like in this case either running a test of yes vs /dev/zero or looking at the source code of everything involved, there isn't any uncertainty that OP's statement is obviously incorrect.

The only uncertainty is OP's use of "back then", "from memory", "maybe", "could have", etc... without providing any evidence to support their statement.
If you take the offer, do yourself a favor and bake some extras into your employee contract or add them into the deal. Not sure of the terms, but if you need to stick around, don't underestimate how long a year is when handcuffed. Ask for a delayed start, X% bonus and a hefty salary. Even though you didn't exit at some insane rate, you can't ignore you have a skillet or at the very least, accomplished something most have not; that's worth more than your average salary. Once you're locked in, it's a lot harder to adjust and it can leave you frustrated.
