To use your analogy, the article's title is "The key to jobs in the future is not water but land." It spends very little time arguing this. Instead, it assumes it, and rather argues why land is useful, with some random remarks throw in about how the land is green and the water is blue.

I don't think it's an over-reaction to understand that they are implying that the water is unimportant, and also implying that the water won't help to fulfill the same needs that the land might fulfill.

And here, I think your analogy is biased in favour of the article; there's no reason why analytical skills can't help us improve services that require a lot of emotional empathy; they are not as separate as "land" vs "water.

And if you're talking about irony, what I find ironic is an article that places such importance on emotional empathy is happy to use a divisive title like "The future is not X but Y". Obviously the people that personally hold greater weight for X are going to be annoyed. And they didn't even do a good job of explaining why they think it!
Does anyone know how was Levandowski's startup valued at $680M?

Worst case scenario was that Kalanick not only knew this, actually planned it with Levandowski.

Reasoning behind the $680M acquisition could be very important.
I've been curious about Norwegian for years, but I can never actually find flights on them. As I recall, they had like one for a week from Oakland and it was always full. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, or maybe I was choosing the wrong destination, but I've never been able to find an itinerary worth booking.

Electricity may be more flexible for domestic consumption but it's damn hard to ship electrons to Japan or Europe from the US.
The author Michael Pollan summed it up fairly well with "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

When in doubt, try to think what humans evolved to do and to process, and try to mimic that.

For nutrition, did we evolve with enormous servings of fast food, donuts, and spend millions of years eating highly refined highly concentrated packaged garbage packed full of preservatives, chemicals, and mystery substances, all consumed in absurd quantities? Or did we evolve to eat a diverse range of plants with occasional proteins and meats?

For health and exercise, did we spend millions of years sitting around watching TV and being screen sloths? Or did we spend millions of years walking dozens of miles every day, with near constant physical activity in some form or another?

As for studies and raw data, NIH pubmed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/, NHS, EU, all have interesting raw largely non-opinionated information to scan through.
Even better use your nose to unlock your phone, they'll never see it coming :)

Low low prices! Customers customers customers.

The only people who get screwed are the businesses.
1. How would you separate that effect from the well-documented and systemic collusion to depress.wages and reduce employee turnover that already affects our industry?

As for the count, do you have some reasources that aren't secretly written by daily stormer folks?
If you believe you have the right to punch Nazis, I don't see how you escape conceding that pro-lifers have the right to punch women walking into abortion clinics.

Nobody can ask the fetus whether it is OK or even agree on whether it has the capacity to experience suffering given that most abortions take place prior to fetal brain development. A fetus, therefore, has no legal agency of its own.

By contrast, someone who advocates punching Nazis does have legal agency, and may be wishing to exercise it on their own behalf rather than on behalf of some third party. This is a fundamentally different situation.

We neatly avoid all of this simply by allowing that while it's important to suppress Nazism (and white supremacy and all that stuff), we're not entitled to use physical violence to do it.

It sounds awfully like you're abrogating people's right of self-defense. How is this 'suppression' to take place when Nazis have a demonstrable track record of being willing to use violence but you deny that option to their opponents under any circumstances? I'm having trouble following your reasoning here.
I personally respect them for if I did not respect them then it would be an affront to freedom. As much as the concept of "tolerance" is criticised (more recently from those people who, I think rightly, are tired of only being "tolerated") I think that people should be allowed to believe whatever they want to believe.

I think the problem is when mockery of such systems is disallowed. I don't know about other religions, but the Buddhist approach has been to neither become prideful and puffed up when one congratulates one's religion, but not to lose one's temper or become sad when one criticises it. In the former case one should say "yes, you are right, well said". In the latter, one should say "no, you are wrong, here is why..."

Unfortunately I can't find the citation in the Buddhist Pali Canon at the moment despite searching for what I thought were the keywords, though what I say is probably what one might expect from Buddhism.

Welcome back! There are a lot more things in the pipeline. V57 in November will be crazy fast, even better than the current one.
It's a great business if you can profitably hire other engineers and skim the difference in what you charge for them and what you pay them.
No. More extreme = less consistent, and likely too violent, these are not things you want for wind power.

You want consistent wind within the efficiency band of your turbines. Wind spikes are not a good thing, best case your turbines go into protection (they brake and the blades are feathered), worst case they're on fire. Significant gusts also increase wear of the blades, aging them prematurely and increasing the risk of catastrophic failure.
Nice, thanks for the link. Mine was always just the tea, it was delicious. ;-)
Which I don't really understand.. I mean, you don't need to warn about anything, that's what "warning" means, and having no way of warning that I'm using things from C11 seems weird to me, given how many other warnings exist.
I agree with you.

Here are some of my thoughts at 15 years:

1. Get sleep and exercise. Stop drinking soda, just stop it. Drink water, coffee, tea, and scotch.

1a. During undergrad, I would get into a trap where I would think I was too busy with schoolwork some night to exercise. Later, I changed my thinking and realized I was too busy to NOT exercise. My grades improved.

2. Work 40 hours a week. Don't be a hero. You're going to burn out.

3. Keep your mind open, but don't accept what others say uncritically. Investigate and evaluate all new information, time permitting. Don't think you know everything, also, don't think anyone else does either.

4. Be a good programmer.

5. Learn some advanced mathematics and cryptography. Don't listen to the people that say "I've never had to use that." Learn about something until you're unsure and uncomfortable- like exercising until you feel it, that means you're learning something.

6. Make your resume more about stories you can tell and less about tools you can use.
I'd strongly suggest using Webpack to build any new serious frontend projects. It's incredibly powerful and flexible enough to be able to adapt to any changes in the ecosystem without having to throw stuff away. As a data point, I know a large projects that slowly migrated away from AMD, favoring CommonJS, and later ES modules. Since ES modules are part of the standard, it makes sense to converge. This was achieved with comparably minimal effort, without throwing code away, and all while enabling newer code to be written in the modern style.

React is an incredibly safe bet as well. Facebook is so heavily invested in it that they have multiple engineers working on it full-time. Furthermore, since they actually use the framework, any breaking changes are required to have a clear migration path. They published a blog post [0] explaining their strategy for how they intend to handle version transitions, which I consider incredibly developer-friendly. Look at angular 1.x for an example of a horribly handled transition.

Here is a relatively typical day https://imgur.com/a/WQeAr

I tend to increase my intake right before and after gym sessions. That's why 2nd lunch and Dinner are bigger than the others.

And on this particular day I felt like having candy after dinner because I was low on carbs, so midnight meal was slightly smaller than usual.
Maybe you should do like the EU and ban incandescent lightbulbs?
So, can you explain why 'cyber' is stupid?

Are you saying it's stupid because media can't handle the topic competently? I hope not; that's possibly the lowest bar ever set for stupidity.
Nevermind, it doesn't work with a nose... But toes works just fine :)
It is signed by WoSign. Firefox is ok with it for now, but StartCom and WoSign are going to be removed eventually in favor of Let's Encrypt.

I was as unlucky as you - my board was from the initial release batch that crashed intermittently. Ultimately I took up the refund they were offering to anyone with a faulty board.

It was an unfortunately evasive and insidious bug - the board could run perfectly, maxed out, for hours or even days before freezing up.

From my own experience, I though Imagination handled things about as well as they could, though I understand this may not have been true for everyone.
> I wonder if habitual CR inevitably trains the body to stabilize its weight

This would not surprise me too much, in the same way that being overweight and habitually overeating basically trains the body to always want to be fat, always be hungry, etc
I haven't used GPGPU in a while. Is Vulkan expected to take over from OpenCL?
Having started five-six new organisations by now, there is in fact a checklist I use these days. The first item is: do I have a salesperson I trust to work with onboard as collaborator? Without this I don't do anything. Viable ideas I am never short of. Then the rest of the checklist starts. But I am on mobile, and not able to easily elaborate right now.
> Do you have any source of proof of any of this?

Of course not. There's never been any significant evidence of health benefits from breakfast.

Wow that's cringy. I would have far more respect for this stuff if it was marketed for its talented writing or effectiveness as propaganda, rather than the "movement" it hopes to capitalize on.

Age. I thought it's percentage at first.
I cannot say how useful Alexandra's work has been for me. Apart from the fact that subscription prices to scientific journals have increased significantly in the last years, in the same period Italy has severely cut research funding. As a result, my department's library has had to cut a number of subscriptions to journals that are very important in my field. (The funny part is that since a few years the Italian government is evaluating universities according to the number of articles published by the staff, their citation count, and the prestige of the journal where these articles have been published...).

Without SciHub, my research and my work would have been made much more difficult. Thank you, Alexandra!
I've been using a dechromed chromebook (xubuntu) as my main dev machine for two years now. I've been very pleased with it. It's light, boots in seconds, fits under my car seat, and the processor is Intel so I can compile whatever.

My main use case is "car coding" side projects; On a good day I can get an hour in before work and an hour in over lunched. I launched one mvp this way, working on a second.
I suggested it as a solution to the so-called problem of robots taking our jobs. I don't think it will happen anytime soon, culturally we are still attached to the idea that a job is a basic requirement of life and "hell no I'm not supporting handouts to lazy people."

I do hope over time society will adapt favorably to a post-scarcity economy, but I'm not holding my breath either.
The incentive not to upgrade is the incredible cost. Why upgrade when the unit economics make no sense? Of course there are some that would suggest the government should make the unit economics work by imposing heavy taxes – that would work except electricity bills would skyrocket due to a de facto price floor.

I would argue that “immediate” action is unnecessary as the economics gradually improve, so will infrastructure. It isn’t like these changes are needed right now. The data doesn’t support the idea of impending catastrophe, unless your business is profiting from such a catastrophe.

The market will solve this. We are already using more renewables when it makes sense and that percentage will organically grow as renewables become more efficient. Eventually oil and coal will be less profitable than renewables and when that happens, the market and infrastructure will naturally evolve.

Innovation rarely happens because the government wills it. The markets drive innovation.
I advocate ORM use for guaranteed type-safety - so long as SQL queries are processed as strings inside your application there's always the risk of column names and types not matching your entity classes - by using an ORM that generates SQL based on your classes (e.g. Entity Framework with Linq) it promotes mismatches to compile-time errors. This alone makes it worthwhile.
This was only possible since the two launches were on different pads. Otherwise they're on a good path of having one launch every two weeks this year.
Some legacy addons are poorly written. Have you tried a fresh Firefox profile with only uBlock Origin on it?
You lose part of the comedy value. As with his latest "Brothers Grimsby" or with "Brüno" and all the way to Ali G, Baron-Cohen likes to root his comedy in geographically-defined stereotypes. Occasionally the result latches on somewhat universal figures, but from the beginning it relies on viewers sharing Sacha's prejudices on this or that geographically-defined subculture.
I didn't argue that you can't hit someone who is literally about to physically attack you, and neither did the ACLU.

You seem to be arguing that the mere presence of a Nazi marching under a Nazi flag in the public square justifies physical violence. What did the ACLU get wrong about that when they defended the Nazis in Skokie?
Basics of Banking: Loans Create a Lot More Than Deposits
Quite the contrary, you can't go against basic physics. Even common wisdom from a lot of Keto diet practitioners (low carb/insulin, see /r/keto and /r/ketoscience) is that for the weight loss aspect it only helps by regulating hunger, studies showed that for the same restricted caloric input, macronutients (low-carb or high-carb) made very little differences (which is expected of course). The "insulin is the root of all evil" trend in the fitness circles seems to be pushed by interested authors.
Does this surprise anyone? Humans did not spend millions of years eating 6000 calorie hyper refined lab perfected highly processed meals three times per day. We did evolve foraging, hunting, gathering, and eventually and much more recently farming, all of which would naturally include a ton of physical activity and occasional bouts of not eating if a meal was yet unavailable, which we now call "fasting" as if it is some harsh or deprivational activity.
I misread the author - thought it was someone who'd been posting elsewhere in the thread about Excel (which does have CSV issues for days).

Mea maxima culpa.
>I'd hate to suffer through a life of egg whites and margarine

I know this wasn't your point but: I don't think people recommend eating margarine instead of real butter anymore.

I won't claim to know if avoiding egg yolks is healthy or not, but many seem to think that dietary cholesterol isn't as bad as once thought.
Brisk: A macOS app for submitting radars
Ok. Fair enough. Allow me to clarify.

I was speaking of norm for the body, not norm of what most people do. In any case, my point was "restriction" isn't a restriction if you're over-consuming to begin with. It's a language/communication issue. Telling people to reduce (when they think they're normal") is, imho, the wrong message. We've normalized obesity by, to some extent, allowing people to believe obesity is perfectly normal.

As for sedentary lifestyle and obesity...those are symptoms. What happens in the body is, often, inflammation. Inflammation in turn gets manifested as various diseases. Obesity is not what kills you per se. But it does trigger various things (often rooted in inflammation) that will.

Regardless, in the context of the original article, I was simply taking a stand at why CR increases lifespan.

I hear ya. We're on the same page, mostly. I just wanted to clarify my particular thoughts.

Thanks
> the famous United case where the senior was dragged off the plane screaming and kicking was not on United but a low cost fully owned subsidiary carrier of United

United does not own Republic Airways and they are not a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings (United's parent). Republic is its own airline operating flights under contract for United, Delta and American.

The legacies by and large do not own the regional carriers, nor are those airlines intended to be low-cost carriers. The differences primarily lie in the aircraft operated and result from union contracts that inhibit the legacies from profitably operating smaller (non-mainline) aircraft.

So why not make a competing company? Just tell people that if they shop from you, they won't get the excellent speed, service and low prices they've come to expect from Amazon, but that they will benefit in other ways, somehow.

If you can't explain what those benefits are well enough to convince people to freely choose to buy from your company instead, you are not helping to make the world a better place. If you advocate running to the government to get them to smack down others who are more successful, you're just limiting choice, and that makes you part of the problem. (Assuming that you agree that the point of technology is to make lives easier, longer, more enjoyable, etc.)

Notice what Jobs did with regarding the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit stuff. He was very careful not to let all that groupthink pile on and rule his mind. Instead of joining in with all that sour grapes stuff, he focused on creating the future instead.
Will Silicon Valley remain the best hub of tech in the next 10 years?
I want to move to the valley as its the hub of tech. Costs are high and moving to the US is difficult. Will US remain the hub of tech in the next 10 years? Do we have other options like Singapore?
Well, I mean, sure... but, having hired all these random "solid JavaScript programmers", what do I tell them to use and/or learn? To do useful work, they all need to be using the same thing—so... how do I figure out what should be the standard for a project, if there's nothing forcing any particular option?
> There’s one option for dependency management and handling of compilation and preprocessing (gradle)

Even if Gradle was the only option, you'd still have two choices of which language to write the build scripts in -- newcomer Kotlin or the legacy Apache Groovy.

It's been a couple months so my cache has mostly flushed, but:

Properties

InternetGatewayId

The ID of the Internet gateway.

This isn't the only example of entirely useless documentation.

Documentation for VPC users and VPC-less users are munged together. VPC users don't care about VPC-less arguments and documentation, and will never (since new customers must use VPCs). They should be completely separate documentation sets.

AMIs are critical but you have to dig into examples to find an up to date list ids, they're spread across multiple examples in multiple locations of the docs with no directions to find them.

Default values for properties and configurations don't appear to be documented anywhere. There are warnings about deleting the default VPC but no mention of how to remake it. Is the default VPC magic?

Object ids must be [A-Za-z0-9]. Why? Neither JSON nor Yaml have syntactic issues requiring this.

The documentation talks about Redis (cluster mode disabled) and Redis (cluster mode enabled). Redis (cluster mode disabled) is referred to as a cluster. But cluster mode is disabled? And on some pages the documentation uses "shards", on others "node groups", sometimes both - apparently these terms refer to the same things.

Scaling Redis (cluster mode disabled) Clusters only discusses single node clusters. Multi node (cluster mode disabled) clusters are discussed in Scaling Redis Clusters with Replica Nodes. Scaling Up Single-Node Redis Clusters shows as Scaling Up Redis Clusters in the sidebar.

Adding nodes to a cluster currently applies only if you are running Memcached or Redis (cluster mode disabled). Adding nodes applies to all clusters. AWS doesn't support adding nodes to an existing cluster in a partitioned Redis set. This is elucidated in the unlinked page Scaling Redis Clusters with Replica Nodes in a completely different section.

Articles frequently contain irrelevant asides, which makes following the documentation harrowing. Like Because Redis (cluster mode disabled) does not support partitioning your data across multiple clusters, each cluster in a Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication group contains the entire cache dataset. in the middle of Scaling Redis Clusters with Replica Nodes.

Edit: Removed a quote I misread.
Your wording makes it sound like there have been two launches with the new grid fins. For clarification, I believe you meant the second of this weekend's launches was the first to use the new grid fins.
And they have quite aggressive goals of 24 hour turnaround on the same pad with the same first stage eventually.
The weirdness is part of what attracts people to Nazism in the first place. Fascism is an anti-rationalist ideology which caters to people's quest for a psychic identity that transcends materialistic impulses. The same dynamic is leveraged by people like Aleksandr Dugin in Russia.
