I usually build an MVP all at once. I'll have a plan on Friday and start working first thing Saturday morning. Typically I work until the MVP is finished; 8 to 12 hours later. I believe an MVP should be as simple as possible and I'm no prefectionist. Some really poor quality software and websites are popular. If it feels a real need, I assume people will use it.

I haven't built anything terribly successful, however, because I often build the wrong idea or lack the marketing chops to get people interested. My next MVP will be a simple marketing page with a "coming soon" sign up box to see if people even care before I build it.
Sure, you have a great anecdote.
In the US, it is not as regulated. My sense, from having tried chiro on several occasions is that they do quasi-medical things like x-rays when you first go in, to give the sense that they are on par with medical doctors. But the diagnosis is always the same — subluxation of the spine.

That said, and even in spite of my strong skepticism toward their practice, I have to say that it was the only thing that helped my periodic extreme back pain. I had tried a medical doctor, physical therapist, and massage. Chiro provided immediate and near-complete relief.

They tried to get me to come in 3x weekly for months (basically maxing out my insurance contribution), but I only ever needed 2-3 visits to feel 100%.
It's common with Gibsons due to the angle of the headstock relative to the grain of the wood.
Agreed. I am making a weaker claim than the one you are objecting to.

My point is that it is not some irrelevant fringe. I've backed that up with other examples, but I can't show it to you more convincingly.

At any rate, I think my point is a response to your question about "interacting with universities" (you didn't ask me, but my point is that doing exactly that won't exactly convince one the claim the other poster made is entirely wrong).
If there is no countervailing pressure, you have a ratchet; but many norms are held to quite consistently and stably.

For example, tipping -- I honestly can not remember the last time I saw anyone not do it. That doesn't mean tips keep going up and up and up...

This is excellent, right on the heels of yesterday's launch where one of the fins appeared to be burning off.

Titanium has 3x the melting point of aluminum, and if you add the heat resistant covering I can imagine you could get a fin that never exceeded its safe operating temperature all the way to the ground. Ti is also tougher than Al so you can make a thinner fin (less drag) which should also help.

I was a light browser of /b/ and /pol/ in the early run up of the election and watched how they basically took the joke idea of Trump and ran with it because so many people were incredulous.

When Trump started gaining some steam it leaped over to reddit and took on it's own life, but from what I saw on /b/ it was just about "rustling jimmies" of anyone who would respond and ramping that up because of the chaos it would cause.

I suppose that it's possible that some kind of right wing hate machine took over, but more than likely it's just an amplification of the past. Those clowns posted and discussed nazi/gore/anti-feminist/boxxy crap since literally forever.
> Irrelevant. Why would they care which bank the money comes from?

I'm sure they're looking for good terms, but being able to secure financing from a more reputable entity is still a signal. If they were some sort or real estate developer and could only get loans from someone like the Russian Mafia then we'd have a little more insight into what kind of business they must be running. In this case, going to a reputable bank is probably the best strategy for minimizing the cost associated with the loan.

The more reputable the bank, the more selective they are about their loans, and the closer to the LIBOR rate they'll charge. You can get a much better loan from a large bank than you can from a loan shark.

Dear readers, enjoy the comments on this page. All of a sudden the HN crowd will begin advocating unwarranted searches.
What caused the shift? The fact that 8 years of Obama didn't help the working class, and millenials are kind of in a shit situation.
I'm definitely not arguing that no one voted for him. But I do think we keep seeing examples of structural manipulations of the system to alter vote outcomes. Republicans haven't been particularly subtle about this.

And actually, my dude, there are a ton of people studying this and the altright is by no means Trump's largest individual support block. There's quite large and very thoughtful investigations with raw data available.

Again, I repeat: if you actually crunch the numbers the altright is not only a minority of Trump's supporters, but a faction that's almost vanishingly small. This sort of shows up in practical measurements of their gatherings.

Now, unopposed I think they'll grow. That's what fascism is all about at this stage and really their principle message is that they want power and they'll fix white people problems by any means necessary.

But they weren't particularly effective this last election cycle compared to the more direct manipulations we see.
The burden of proof is identical on the other side as well, so until then the conclusion is null and all we have are anecdotal stories, of which there are a lot.

It's interesting to see the emotional attachment naysayers have to low carb diets. I can understand advocates having an emotional attachment due to how it has changed their lives in a positive way, often after years if not decades of failure, but the strong emotional response it invokes in people whose lives are literally not affected in any way but are for some reason strongly repulsed by the very idea, almost as if there is something within the human psyche. Very interesting.

Which the police can and have been able to do with a search warrant. Courts in various parts of the world have spoken here: the smartphone is unlike other personal effects, in that it may provide access to a historically unprecedented vault of personal information about its owner. The space for police abuse here is vast, and using courts as a check against police power is a common solution.
The reason for me to use ORM rather than direct SQL queries is so I can keep everything written in a single language, so I can develop with one IDE. Having everything under one roof is a huge boon to productivity, rather than having to edit the logic in the IDE, then edit the database queries in a different editor, and the two knowing nothing about each other. It lets me directly map my source language's type system to the database's schema, avoiding discrepancies.

Have you been there? I can't imagine anyone who has spent any amount of time in Japan would claim there is no cultural uniqueness.
We already know the results though: people who have strong family ties and closer and enduring friendships and sense of community live longer healthier lives than their lonely counterparts

I've often wondered whether, in the absence of any action to correct the issue, it's better to promote this conclusion (which feels a little bit like loneliness-shaming) or to tell less social people that being alone is OK and doesn't mean you're less of a person.
I'm pretty sure that precedent says you can be compelled to unlock a safe with a combination lock. You don't have to reveal the combination but you can be forced to unlock the safe. Protection from self incrimination doesn't include refusal to turn over evidence.

It's another step you have to automate in your build pipeline, have to tag and manage outside of source control (making your builds now "code at rev X + assets of difficult-to-isolate revision Y", which makes repeatability a little harder), and so on and so forth.

You can do it, and it has its advantages. But you're also buying complexity.
Snap Takes Steps to Address the Elephant in the Room
I wonder what the economics would be without the federal tax incentives for wind and solar. Does anyone know?

EDIT: Someone above provided a link that provides the figure I was looking for:

"Between 2010 and 2016, subsidies for solar were between 10¢ and 88¢ per kWh and subsidies for wind were between 1.3¢ and 5.7¢ per kWh. Subsidies for coal, natural gas and nuclear are all between 0.05¢ and 0.2¢ per kWh over all years." [1]

I wonder how much of a subsidy there is for LED lighting. A lot of energy goes for incandescent lighting.

Also, there should be a lot of subsidies to replace heaters in building burning #6 and #4 fuel oil which is very, very dirty and pollution (NYC where I live banned #6 a few years ago but #4 is allowed to persist until 2030 I think).

I asked my (medical) doctor about the safety risks of chiropractic adjustment, and he said there are rare cases of permanent injury from neck adjustments. He said it was less than 1/1000, but enough to be worried about. I have found that whenever I (infrequently) go in for lower back pain, the chiro always goes up the back and neck also — especially if his attempts at adjustment lower down were not successful. I always have to remind him beforehand that I do not want my neck manipulated.
I'd suggest you pay a visit to your nearest ER and have the staff there give you some advice.

1. I didn't say illegal immigration was a major cause of low wages, but it definitely does have an effect, especially among lower class workers. You say "Undocumented people mostly do jobs Americans refuse to do," but the issue is that Americans refuse to do it for minimum wage. Why would someone do backbreaking labor for near minimum wage and no benefits when they can work at a gas station making more? For Americans to do those jobs, wages would have to go up. Corporations would be forced to do so if illegal immigration didn't keep wages down.

2. That site that you linked to is ridiculous. They measure racism by peoples' beliefs in self-determination and whether or not illegal immigrants take jobs. Which they do. If there are 10 million illegal immigrants in a country of 300 million doing lower class work, and those people aren't equally distributed across the country, you can bet there will be pockets of land where lower class wages are suppressed. And you can bet that, within those areas impacted, views towards illegal immigrants will be more negative.
Having played the game, it's just a shoot em up with a goofy story to justify shooting things. Nobody is going to care about it in 10 years. The only reason anyone cares about it now is cause everything is a culture war and complaining on the Internet about games you aren't gonna buy is a great way of fighting it, apparently.

I ran into some Holocaust deniers on Reddit a couple of weeks ago. Those people are so far gone that BBC video of bodies in concentration camps is seen as propaganda. If people don't understand the evils of the Nazis within the context of history, the videogame equivalent of Transformers isn't going to change minds.

This post details two possible justifications for this action. It then offers civil liberties-friendly recommendations for conducting such screening. That seems directly in-line with the ACLU's mission. It's cheaper to have policies implemented correctly from the outset than to rely on lawsuits when they're overly broad.
Minor correction, the communication with the community is funded by "community subscribers" separate from the game development crowdfunding.
I think that the very act of playing an instrument is much less impressive than it used to be, and that's because of computers and electronic music. Back in the day, the only way to make those heavenly sounds was to a human to pick up an instrument and play, and that's why musicians were considered demigods - they were the only thing in the world that could render music. And then the computers came and playing music became one of those "a computer can do that" activities, and thus is much less impressive.
I agree that this heavily opinionated "starter kit" might be not what you want to give to a beginner (also it feels quite obsolete nowadays), but I quite disagree that create-react-app is a better choice.

I think that CRA is either useless as it is too simple and confusing (in its first run, before you "eject"... what are those react scripts, for example?) or too far away down the road of "choose what technique is best for your project" once you "eject".

I rather consider using a "true" starter kit, with no helpers and not many applied opinions to it (like, no redux for example and/or no decision on how to handle CSS). With this principle in mind, I wrote my starter kit https://github.com/claudioc/react-with-typescript-starterkit (yes, there are many of them already, but I try for it to be a middle ground between something that you want to use to bootstrap an real new app and something you study to learn the _what_ you need to start and begin by yourself).
I've never really understood gamergate. I vaguely recall there were some accusations of favouritism by games journalists towards some female game makers.

> It suggests that there's been a concerted effort among liberals to reshape culture as a whole.

It doesn't need to be concerted. An alternative explanation could be that liberals are more likely to pursue creative careers than conservatives, thus shaping the media (e.g. TV shows and movies) that contribute to the major consensus narrative.

Why that is so is not part of my hypothesis. The point is that the behavior of a system is emergent more often than it is concerted (which is also why most conspiracy theories are untrue).
In the first video the barrel roll [0] followed by a person in an EVA suit in the interior of a (different) vessel [1] made me wonder about zero-gravity spatial relationships.

(Before continuing, please excuse my ignorance in the subjects of gravitational physics and aeronautical nomenclature. Also, I do not intend to troll. I'm honestly wondering. I'm also a little embarrassed at the brainteaser-like character of my question.)

Presume a human being is inside a vertically asymmetrical vessel with no interior atmosphere. The vessel is at rest with regard to a nearby (< 1 million kilometers) planetary system (similar to ours) and the vessel is in (essentially) zero-gravity. If the vessel accelerates around the axis that runs stem to stern (executes a barrel roll) will the occupant spin with the vessel or will the vessel spin around the occupant?

Tuning pegs don't really tend to fail. Unless you have those "vintage" Les Paul-style ones (yuck), but they're easy to replace.

Frets get worn down, necks tend to bow or arch, or at worst warp (more seldom). Fret recrowning/redressing, truss rod adjustment and fretboard leveling are part of the regular maintenance of a long-lived electric guitar.

I disagree about SQL being like assembly. It's a fairly high level language, because underneath the engine is figuring out how to use indexes and actually run your query. If you want to draw parallels, ORMs are more like writing code in a template language that's written in the language you're actually working in.

I've spent far too much time fighting with ORMs trying to get the SQL I want generated. Additionally for complex queries, I often develop in a SQL manager interface, because it's so much more direct. When I'm done, I have a working SQL query - I can paste it in to my code and parameterize it, why should I spend even more time fiddling with an orm?

I like "micro ORMs" that just map rows to objects. Generating INSERT and UPDATE statements is ok, and single table selects with a single where clause are sometimes ok. Beyond that, I'd rather just skip the middleman.

That said, for small databases (a GB or two) that are reasonably well designed (e.g. 3NF), the speed of current I/O and optimization engines in databases is such that even the worst SQL will generally run fine - so if you find it faster to use ORM and understand the future pitfalls, go for it.

Ever since I moved from C to Java (I like low level stuff but the company I joined is such) I have been having one of three major problems - logic bugs, too many frameworks, causing bugs due to lack of in depth understanding of each one of them, and GC bottlenecks. Of all of them, I hate the GC ones the most.
From the post:

> The second justification is to search for something called “sheet explosives,” which are apparently thin, flat explosives that can be hidden within sheafs of paper or photographs. In a case decided by the 9th Circuit in 2011, a man was arrested after TSA screeners found child pornography in his checked baggage, and while a district court ruled that the agency’s search of a stack of the man’s photographs was invalid, the 9th Circuit reversed, in the process accepting as justification the need to check for sheet explosives.
>When someone gets questioned by the police, you expect the person to tell the truth.

Police should not expect anything.
Even if you tell the truth, police could still build a story so that it will make you guilty of something. Not because police are evil, but because investigation is not easy, so any interaction with the police is a great danger for any person, especially the honest ones since they are often more naive and less equipped to deal with the police.
