I just leave those here in case you wonder how Norwegian works. They have brand new planes for efficiency on one hand but on the other, they screw their staff similar as to other budget airlines.

"Norwegian’s modus operandi does raise interesting questions. Should a carrier established in one country be allowed to offer wages typical of another? And should airline employees be given the same labor protections regardless of where they are located?"

I agree it quite outrageous all the RAM & Size on disk & CPU an electron app requires. But on the other hand what are the other alternative for a one codebase multiplatform app?

If the program fulfills their needs well enough, users don't care what it's written in or how fat it is.

And multi-platform matters. I've seen blog posts on how to get Sketch running on Windows using a Mac VM. Talk about using system resources.
Interesting. How do they protect against clickfraud, though? Paying the user seems to me (somewhat naively, because I'm not super familiar with clickfraud) to increase the incentive for abuse, since you don't have to run a malicious website to do it.

One of the obvious advantages of the Gmail model seems to me to be that free email is less fungible than cash, though of course abusers resort to spamming and other practices to monetize the resource.

For anyone travelling to Europe from the bay area, you can't beat Norwegian. They have nonstop flights from OAK to Stockholm and Oslo on brand new 787's for as cheap as <$300 each way. It's another $50 to anywhere in Europe from those two cities on the budget lines like Ryanair.
Even if I did, it would still be an anecdote. It would prove nothing either way. For that we have to look to data.
Can't compare a DAW to an instrument though. Lots of guitar players use DAWs as well, so that's not really comparable. It's a whole different segment in fact.

To correctly account for "computer-only musicians" we would have to also eliminate electronic artists that have a primary instrument such as keyboards or drums/percussion. And in any case, computer-based instruments do register sales and have their place in most music schools.
> Many of the traits the article mistakenly attributes to introverts (don’t like seeing unknown phone numbers calling / uncomfortable in the company of new people / hate being in the center of attention / go through hell every time they have to ask unknown people something / are ready to die visiting a party) are not traits I recognise in myself or in other introverted friends – I’d argue that they are just examples of people being socially awkward, or shy, which is different.

Being introverted myself and having many of the difficulties listed above and having seen similar behavior from other introverted people I've met, I'd say that the article is correct and those are indeed traits of introversion.

Lots of science-only hecklers here. Seems to me to be a bit arrogant to think science holds all the answers and that holistic treatments are devoid of value?

Should we ideally strive for scientific rigour in everything we do? Yes. Does quantum mechanics prevent us from predicing anything to arbitrary precision? Yes. Are we currently unable to model any three body interaction analytically? Yes.

Right at the atomic level, our science is built on top of approximations and concessions to rigour. The second you get to anything remotely murky like biological systems, it all gets a bit hand wavey anyway.

This is not to discount the scientific method or years of evidence based research, but if chiropractors and Chinese medicine, and even homeopathy can have an effect on people then who are we to tell them they're wrong?

Even if it is just a placebo, until we can in precise terms explain the pathways of the placebo effect, then various healing methods in their various cultural contexts still have their place in the world imho, provided they are not known to be causing harm.

Norwegian borrowed the same play book Michael O'Leary (of Ryanair) used ~6 years earlier: putting in a big, bold order for new Boeing aircraft just as the aviation market was tanking (due to 9/11 in O'Leary's case and the GFC in Norwegian's). Anti-cycle is the cheapest time to buy lots of new planes (if you have the balls and investor backing to do it).

Underneath it all is the same operating model that allowed low cost carriers to flourish in the short-haul market: streamlined, standardized, modern, fuel efficient fleet; non-unionised crews; using cheaper secondary airports; flying direct; cramming in as many rotations in 24 hours as possible and flying outside of peak hours to get cheaper landing slots.

The new Boeing and Airbus models make the LCC approach increasingly viable for longer haul routes thanks to big fuel efficiency improvements and smarter cabin interiors/materials that boost pax load without sacrificing comfort. Oil prices are also helping since the price has remained low for so long now that even if an airline hedged the wrong way a few years ago they're now all enjoying better rates.

IAG (British Airways, Iberia) and Lufthansa are trying to get in on the action too with Level and Eurowings respectively.

Thank you very much. I'll show this to her.
This article is pretty long, a lot of it is interesting, but quite a lot is redundant. All I would really want to see is a summary of a study showing that chiropractors don't reduce pain. But if even a like to such a study is there, I didn't see it.
Thanks. These assertions are here to give a basic background and overview of databases performance in general. The real game changer with Terark is our novel compression algorithm. It's more space efficient, that's one thing, but above all else we can search directly into the compressed data without decompressing it. That's the real breakthrough.

We do that by using a data structure called Succinct Nested Trie, and we've introduced concepts such as CO-Index (Compressed Ordered Index) and PA-Zip (Point Accessible Zip).

We were at first a compression company, and turned to storage engines and database as a domain of application for our algos, hence the analogy with Pied Piper :)

That's what happens 99% of the time. If you get baited by the 1% of the time that pol leaks then maybe you need a thicker skin. And people DO respond with "go back to /pol/" half the time anyway.
At the same time /a/ has threads about traps (crossdressing), yuri and other things that would ostensibly be considered degeneracy by /pol/.

While some things may have changed it's not that they are omnipresent.

Don't know why people are downvoting the above comment. Yes It's anecdotal, yes it contradicts the articles argument but It's still an interesting personal account.
I think one important question to ask here is: what caused the huge shift? Because it's something I noticed as well.

Something happened that has pushed much of the general internet and large swathes of the "geekier" parts of the net to the right, and it doesn't seem to be letting up. The media ran with the "Russian shills" thing for a while, but it seems to be running out of steam and people I've known for years who used to lean firmly left are now either fairly far right, or left leaning but absolutely hate the left establishment and support the right purely out of spite.

The argument that "we're allowed to force you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, because we could physically force you to do it anyway" makes me think that the governments will eventually not give citizens a pass when they have a PIN number or passphrase either, once they develop the technology to read our thoughts. And the reason is the same: because they could physically force you to reveal it.

That's such a shitty way of thinking about laws. Should men be allowed to beat women just because they are physically stronger, too? No, we've simply decided as a society that just because you can do something with physical force, doesn't mean you should be able to do it, and that it's illegal to do it.

And this is why I think forcing you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, just because in theory the policemen can hold you down and force your finger on the phone, is also an immoral law and an immoral way of thinking.

I think it ultimately comes down to the level of primary school teachers, and good luck reversing that. I taught at a community college some classes for future elementary school teachers. When I found things like 1/2+1/3=2/5 I tried my best to get everybody's attention as to how important fixing this misconception was, especially given they'd be teaching children in a few years... Unfortunately, I mainly received questions about how much of an impact an error like that would have on their grades. Major sigh...
>I think one important question to ask here is: what caused the huge shift? Because it's something I noticed as well.

It was 8 years of a Democratic, fairly liberal president. People like to rebel against whatever is in fashion. The right wing is now "edgy" because it rails against the prevailing political power

The generation of kids who are now posting on 4chan grew up in a world defined by the Fox News anti-Obama 'liberalism is a disease!' rhetoric which has taken over our media in the past decade. Be prepared for a radical push back from Trumpism by the subsequent generations that grow up under the current political climate. I imagine the pendulum will swing back with a vengeance after this one.
> You only need anecdotes to prove that it's not bullshit.

Oh dear. No. That's not true at all. Suppose I have back pain. Then I eat some dirt. Then I feel better. Then I start claiming that dirt ingestion cures back pain. Someone would be well within their rights to call that bullshit, despite my anecdote. Even if I could find a dozen people who had the same experience, it would still be bullshit.
No, you went to a bad physiotherapist. Most likely you should have gone to a Physio that actually gets stuck in and manipulates your facet joints and vertebrae to help get the muscles out of spasm and get the joints comfortable moving again.

The reason people get relief from chiropractors is manipulating joints is shown to help free up joints and take muscles out of spasm.

Physiotherapists practice evidence based medicine, chiros try stuff and get lucky, it happens that there is an overlap in the Venn diagram of those two fields.

I mistook a Swedish neighbour for being Norwegian, afterwards I felt stupid for this as clearly I had not been paying attention. (Her name begins with 'N' so that may be the cause of the 'senior moment'.)

As an English person living in England I have no idea whether getting someone's country 'almost right' is a hurtful thing. Is the Norwegian vs Swedish thing real? If so, is it for the reason I give - not paying attention - or is there more to it than that?
Let us assume for a second that we don't have a vested interest in any of the music companies, or in guitars, or even in music... the underlying question then becomes simply whether or not the youth of today still have passions that are sparked, and if they still follow them as fervently as we did in our youth, and pursue new skills as much as we did. Do they pick things up and drive their lives towards perfecting a craft? I know this might sound blasphemous to some, but... so what if it isn't guitars? As long as they do have passions to follow, and they produce creative works, its all good.

Yawn... after the 70s the guitar had a similar decline and in the mid eighties everyone and his dog wanted to be a keyboard or sax player, then came the nineties with grunge etc and guitars became hot sellers again. History repeats itself, so I expect the trend to change in a few years according to what the marketing droids will feed the the radio and TV stations with.
I had a problem with my shoulder, for which doctors recommended surgery. Decided to try a chiropractor and the problem went away permanently after a few sessions.
There isn't much evidence that EDM is much more than a passing fad, either. Rock music has held fairly strong on over the past 60-70 years and has been able to accommodate and integrate fads, shed them, and then reincorporate them in throwback form.

70s glam rock gave way to 80s emo synths. Grunge brought things back into simple form, which gave way to the rap/rock craze that then gave in to the Stokes, White Stripes, etc.

We're now at a point where music incorportes a lot of ideas and those ideas don't fit into the molds we are used to seeing. A lot of those molds still have guitars as a key ingredient and live music is as popular as it's ever been.
I think the thing is that 4chan is mostly anti-establishment. Obama promised CHANGE (anti-lobbying, supporting lower classes) and at the same time bringing troops home, something that would also appeal to conservatives. Plus he was fairly open and media-savy which provided a lot of material for memes, e.g. the situation room photo when they got osama.

When he failed to achieve his promises - certainly due to republican blockades to some extent - he was seen as a disappointment and trump became THE spanner in the works of washington.

Another important polarizing issue is the vocal social justice movement in colleges, on tumblr, in the media etc. Since it is seen as infringing on free speech where it matters to 4chan (games, porn, unfiltered non-PC conversation, trolling) they are seen as a threat. If the left does not radically defend free speech, even when it is unpleasant or could be considered as hateful while the right promises small government and has crazy libertarian subcurrents then this is actually more value-aligned, at least on the surface, with 4chan interests.

I don't think a timeline where bernie had been the 4chan favorite would be inconceivable.
if most countries will not be able to tax ultra-profitable A.I. companies to subsidize their workers, what options will they have? I foresee only one: Unless they wish to plunge their people into poverty, they will be forced to negotiate with whichever country supplies most of their A.I. software — China or the United States — to essentially become that country’s economic dependent, taking in welfare subsidies in exchange for letting the “parent” nation’s A.I. companies continue to profit from the dependent country’s users

Or they could just require that services targeting their residents be provided by locally incorporated and taxed subsidiaries. China itself already does so with its Great Firewall and requirements that foreign companies partner with local ones; Russia's rule that personal data be kept on servers in the country is another example.

In that light, the "real threat" is nationalization and compartmentalization of the once global network as its growing economic importance makes a hands-off approach politically untenable.

That link says the chance of keeping lost weight off for 3 years is 3% but of doing so for 5 years is 5%? Seems odd.

Anyway, I'd like to see a credible source on the claim that "Even if someone loses weight, they will always need fewer calories and need to exercise more". And even IF that's true, it doesn't change the fact that that person can still, by eating fewer calories, maintain their weight loss.

The case with Debra Sapp-Yarwood says she eats 1800 calories, or 7500kJ/day. That's not a severe caloric restriction. For a "small-framed" but active 55-year-old woman that's an entirely appropriate intake.
