All they said was that they don't have evidence for a link, which may be because there is no link, there is a link but they haven't found the evidence yet, or a link was never within the scope of their study.

You're basically claiming they found evidence disproving a link with the "don't link the event to climate change."

She did not deceive him or collude with others to exert undue leverage over him. She made it clear that the intended result of the actions she advocated was death. She does not appear to have introduced the idea of suicide in the first place. She had no legal, physical, or economic control over him, was not in proximity to him during the suicide, and does not appear to have involved third parties at any time. He carried out an act that was legal for him to perform in large part because of her persuasive speech. Her words were chilling, but his act was the result of speech between two peers, and was not itself illegal.
I'm surprised the article didn't explain outright that the botulinum toxin is the most toxic substance on earth. More than cyanide, sarin, VX, plutonium or anything else man made or natural.

Another interesting side note is Napoleon Bonaparte offered a prize to anyone who could preserve food. Armies used to have to eat what they found locally since carrying large amount of food was too tedious. In the late 1700s Nicolas Appert managed to discover heat "pasteurization" (well before Louis Pasteur method in the 1860s). The only problem was Appert used heat that was too high and for too long resulting in mushy food Pasteur's method had better results.

Interestingly Pasteur was inspired by a relative of Napoleon 1st only this time it was a nephew Napoleon III.

Would the legal difference only be that Fresh is marketed as grocery delivery? As far as I know, Fresh and Prime Now are both delivered from local warehouses by Amazon's own couriers.
The all-day breakfast brought them more of my business. I really like the Egg McMuffin. But, the burgers are nothing to write home about - they're thin and not that juicy, and seem to be mostly bun.

Their competition (Wendy's, Burger King) aren't really making good burgers either. I'm lucky that Austin has a wide choice in burgers from various independent restaurateurs.

> Don't you have to be well-versed in Christianity to recognise the allegory?

Absolutely not. The books are incredibly in your face, even kids recognize it.

> How does that promote Christianity, perhaps to 'reinforce it for those raised as Christians'?

It is not promote christianity as in telling kids to become christians or much about god. It promotes christian values - how you should behave what you should think about situations. You may read the books or go to sermon and they boil down to pretty much the same thing.

The first, second and third focus of every story is moral lesson you are supposed to take out of it. Any other purpose (story, fun, world building, suspension, whatever) is somewhere after. That is why the books are so popular among christians, imo. If you remove moral teaching, not all that much is left.
More money for UBI is necessarily less potentially available money for the forest service.
After this acquisition I don't understand why any CEO of a grocery chains will sign up with Instacart or any other grocery delivery service. They are probably working like crazy how they can roll out their own grocery delivery service.

Amazon is entering into grocery delivery service and the writing on the wall is that prices of grocery delivery will go down. Significantly down. Amazon will be definitely start doing grocery delivery with loss.

But on the bright side, Instacart might end up being a good acquisition target - maybe Safeway? Costo? Walmart?
Second paragraph from the 2015 study linked above makes clear it is talking about land, not sea ice:

Undergrad Student Looking for Experience
Hi, I am an undergraduate student studying computer science and physics looking for some experience as a programmer, preferably remote work. I've worked with C++, Nvidia CUDA, OpenGL, and python.

Of course it does. You can curl the concatenated content of the library of congress to your terminal if you want to.

No. Because printing the binary to screen is the current behaviour in all cases, the goal of this change is to reduce the incidence of it for quality of life.

Good feedback, thank you: it certainly means that I'm not doing a good job giving clues to AdSense what the site is about.
That's pretty impressive. I'm curious to hear how your YouTube account gained enough followers to make this possible. It would be difficult to convince an artist to upload it into your account before you had traction.
Your experience will depend a lot on where you live.

I live downtown in a large-ish city and many of my Prime orders give me free same-day delivery. There is no other service that comes close.

> they will convert (back) to the Latin alphabet from Cyrillic

They never had Latin alphabet. Kazakhstan (as a state, part of USSR) was using Turkic Alphabet in its initial 13 years of existence.

I wouldn't consider Turkic as a Latin alphabet. It uses some Latin glyphs but so does Cyrillyc.
I run a couple of ad-based websites. The largest one being https://www.dailywritingtips.com

The key aspect to estimate how much you can earn is the page RPM you can get.

The average I have seen across my sits is around $2. Some niches have lower RPMs (e.g., programming, in my case at least). Some niches have much higher. I had a site about investing in gold that had $12 page RPM on average, if I remember well.

In your case, I believe the number would be higher than $2000 per month if you reach 1 million visitors. I am guessing twice as much at least.
I'm not aware of a single missing email.

If someone had come forward with an email and offered it as evidence that WL had withheld even a single one, I would view WL much differently.

Instead, WL took the trouble to DKIM verify as many as possible. Afaik none of the embarrassing or politically potent emails failed DKIM verification and nobody offered any evidence that emails in a chain were removed from the archive. Even claims of tampering were dropped after the DKIM verification was installed.

People inject this into their face. Housewives.
Distributing the revenue from said taxes back as a public dividend should solve that problem nicely. Since we're all impacted by those externalities a public dividend is only fair. And since the distributed money compensate for increased costs the tax can be pretty high, and thus effective in directing money towards alternate solutions.

Ask HN: How to move up in the career?
I am doing software development for 10+ years now and work for one of the big 4 tech company. I feel that I am stuck in my career. I am managing a team indirectly but that's just not cutting it for me in terms of what I want to achieve.

How can I break into people management? I am good with handling people. I feel that my manager is dark triad. I am a bit narcissistic too. I discussed my goals many times with him but he just makes up something to pass on the situation.

I have the drive, energy and potential to move up. I know simply asking for promotion is not gonna be enough. What are dark triad ways and covert psychology techniques I can use to move up?
Thank you for sharing.

The first can mean all fruit is banned, because "fruit" is a mass noun and as such does not have a plural form.

The second clearly refers to one song, just like the headline refers to one newspaper.

The Republican Party capitalizes on that perception but doesn't create it. America's governments are remarkably inept at doing even basic things. I just got back from Tokyo, where my 45 minute train ride from the airport arrived downtown within a minute of schedule. Meanwhile, the D.C. metro segment of my commute runs at best 20% over scheduled time. That's despite being one of the most expensive systems in the world. So many things are like that. We spend more on education than almost anyone else for worse results.

>'You're basically claiming they found evidence disproving a link with the "don't link the event to climate change."'

No I am not. But by default I would assume all such events (really every event on earth) are somehow linked to climate change... it is exceptional to me that they claim to have no evidence for this.

Edit: Isn't it interesting that everyone except them (who are the apparent experts here) seems to have no problem linking it with climate change, including me?
Wow crazy.

Yes. However since he is essentially captive and sources of funding to WL have largely been blocked, he must utilize guerilla PR tactics to the fullest.

Of course I'd prefer if the leaked docs were all thoroughly vetted and used as source material by The NY Times, but due to political pressure the NYT distanced itself from assange and became one of the main propagators of the character assassination campaign against Assange.

If Assange had the ability to present major front page stories to the world, he could ignore timing, but it's the only available tactic at present.
What direct relationship do groceries have with customers? Only those small local ones do. There is no relationship. I buy the best food at the cheapest cost. That's it.
Prototyping a Recommendation System
I won't pretend to know all the details, but I ask myself questions like:

1) How can we prevent this from happening again?

2) What kind of relief will this provide to the relatives?

3) How will it help rehabilitate the girl herself, so that her future contributions are positive and not even more negative?

4) What was or would have been best for the victim?

5) Who else is responsible for the situation?

6) What was the true causes that led to the death?

And I don't feel like this case is answering any of these questions, trying to prevent recurrences, or support the people who are affected by the event. It's almost too complicated an issue, with too many layers and levels of indirection, reliability and blame. If we truly want to address the root cause, we'll need something much more thorough.

At this point, I feel it probably will only work as a scape goat, allowing relatives to believe the boy had no issue, and that he would have managed to overcome and live a happy life if it wasn't for her, taking some of their guilt away and towards her. Are they right, we'll never know, but for sure other people could be argued to have also indirectly contributed to involuntary manslaughter, people who might have played a role with the original causes of depression and suicidal thoughts that led to him engaging in such a relationship in the first place and triggered the events that followed.
> TensorFlow 1.1.0 will be the last time we release a binary with Mac GPU support. Going forward, we will stop testing on Mac GPU systems. We continue to welcome patches that maintain Mac GPU support, and we will try to keep the Mac GPU build working.

Sounds like a lack of external contributors maintaining it to me, are there really that many users? Everyone I know on macOS uses docker (or some other virtualisation) to run linux for small jobs and then connects remotely to linux boxes when they need more computing power.
Is that monthly or yearly?
> Maybe don't order it at a drive-through.

Maybe don't sell it at a drive through.
It's the world's biggest public goods problem. Let's say for the sake of argument that fixing global warming were worth $10K to you. You still don't contribute because it wouldn't help; the marginal improvement to the environment from your little personal contribution wouldn't make any significant difference to your life. It'd certainly be far less than $10K of benefit.

So it's entirely rational to skip the actions you describe. But that's true for everyone. We'd all be happier if everybody contributed, but for each of us, we're better off not contributing, whether other people contribute or not. So nobody does much and we all end up worse off.

Problems like this crop up all the time and we have a way of dealing with them. Instead of deciding whether we'll personally contribute, we vote on whether we'll all contribute.

So if you really believe your first four statements, maybe you could consider voting for politicians who support a price on carbon.
Because Ruby and Python are relatively good languages. New implementation would need to be order of magnitude better to gain traction. It also makes large improvement difficult as well.

I am rooting for Crystal, but without massive backing like Go and Rust enjoy, it is difficult.

This article seems a little bit overwrought. I don't think that deleting a bunch of cruft from the app store will "create a cultural black hole for generations to come."

Sure, there are apps that will probably get deleted that don't deserve to. But when you play in the walled garden, these are the consequences.
If you are selling a 100 copies a month this forced refactor could be used to add additional features and revenue streams to the app. I see the annoyance with a forced move but I personally vote for better performance vs legacy app support.
That's not true. I'll buy things at Costco knowing full well that the item is cheaper elsewhere. Why? Because of their excellent customer service and return policy. I know that if that item breaks or has any sort of problem, I can return it no questions asked.

Also, their model is pretty good as far as membership goes -- if you spend enough at Costco, your membership is free, because you get cash back. And a little known fact, even if you don't spend enough to pay for your membership, if you ask them, they will increase your cash back reward to make up for it anyway.

It can be interpreted in a way that work has value in itself even if it's entirely unproductive. I don't think it's a healthy approach to either life or business.
I also don't think that humans who wouldn't have to work anymore to make a living would instinctively default to doing nothing and simply wasting their life on unproductive activities. Self-actualisation and creating something that has some sort of value is an important, perhaps even essential need once everything else is provided for.
