Sure, they would love a place to stay, as long as someone else took care of it and paid all the bills. But the same difficulty with life that causes them to be where they are -- whether mental, physical, or abuse related, is going to prevent them from being self-sufficient even if the rent they have to pay is zero. In terms of being unconstitutional, maybe it is, but it's the only solution to this problem. People who are unable to take care of their basic needs and defecate on the streets need to be forced into group home situations until they demonstrate an ability to handle the difficulties of managing self-care.

Not only that, but those enforcing the law are no less likely to break it. Giving the authorities this level of power is just inviting the most corrupt and immoral of them to run wild with official immunity.

Police live under a fundamental illusion that people can be divided into good or bad, ignoring the role of circumstances, ease of deniability and special pleading in how it actually goes down. Most of all with their own abuse of power.
Completely agree. I was disappointed to see otherwise and bailed after the first few paragraphs.
They used to take me longer, but I've figured out that almost all of the recipes are mostly parallelizable. I usually read through the recipe all the way at first, and then wash and chop only what's necessary for any marinade/boil/roast steps, then after that's started wash and chop any frying steps, and if there's a sauce or salsa to be made, get my wife to prep that while I'm frying the meat or veggies. It's important to keep an eye on your clock and gain confidence about how long things have been going so you don't have to keep checking on them, opening the pot/door and losing heat and time. I am able to prepare almost every recipe in less time than they say. It does take some confidence and time/temperature management to do multiple steps at the same time, though.
It's more readable but I hate the horizontal menu bar. I use a MacBook Pro and the screen is already short and wide. Taking valuable vertical space is bad, when there is so much more horizontal space.

I think that's what makes stuff like this so daunting... People are ignorant of the gravity of these things, and write them off as technicalities, but really they skew the entire dynamic of our political system so that existing polarizations are more readily exploitable, and so that attempts at working across the isle are unstable. I'm not saying there aren't other elements at play, but the election system needs major reform...

It looks like you would need to have a patent. If you manage to create a magic battery and you keep the manufacturing process a trade secret, then you could disallow government use of your work. Is that correct? They'd obviously be able to attempt to reverse-engineer your product, of course.

This got me wondering. Could they force someone to provide them with a license due to extreme circumstances? e.g. Time of war, magic battery can help us win.
Correct. Reality isn't partisan at all.

Human expression on the other hand generally is.
I like the idea of fact checking from journalistic entities.

What I don't like is that a lot of the "Fact Checks" are just clickbait titles.

> "Bernie Sanders' projection of 'thousands' of deaths from lost health coverage is well-supported"
During a team review last year, I remember mentioning that I wasn't "excited" by work per se, but that I didn't expect nor desire excitement from work. For me, books, traveling, and music are exciting, and I get a sense of value and self-worth from the relationships I build with other people. But I work in a big tech firm. A coworker of mine actually questioned whether I was in the right field, saying that a lot of the successful people in our industry are excited by work. I can't remember his exact wording.

Maybe I'd be able to work harder if I wrapped my self-worth up in my work, but I saw what that kind of attitude did to my father. He would come home drained and tired, and wouldn't be available during the week to do something like watch a TV show together. On the other hand, my mother had a fulfilling job, but she didn't have the same kind of emotional stake in it. She turned down a promotion because while it would have advanced her career, it wouldn't have served her interests as an individual.

"I understand it’s very unhealthy, but I base my self-worth off the success of my job." That's the quote at the bottom of the article. There's a gulf between knowing something is unhealthy and building a healthy life for yourself, something I wish more people would respect.

I don't think yours is a serious answer, what I said already refutes your points. Ubuntu has already made me waste a week and I don't want to waste any more, particularly when you can't or won't listen to what I say and look for irrelevant excuses like the availability of UEFI vendor updates. Just FYI Intel provides these updates for very good reasons and RHEL/CentOS/Fedora have been providing processor microcode updates for ages now and with relatively frequent updates (see the microcode_ctl RPM changelog).

Appreciate the positive feedback. I certainly feel the management are making a long term investment, but feel my actual team is... concerned about the lack of deliverables.

Which I think is fair from their perspective, I think they expected a developer by trade to have assumed the role, and in actuality it's someone who has done a tremendous number of jobs around development. I'd be a bit concerned as well.

The great thing is, I'm learning a ton of cool technologies, and already see the major progress on a lot of fronts.
3.2% by weight or volume? Most of the 3.2% beers are measured by weight because it is related to some state law that specifies alcohol by weight. This translates to about 4% by volume.
UPnP could have helped with the router bits and dynamic DNS could help with the internal/external bits. https://upnp-portmapper.sourceforge.io is fun but UPnP isn't enabled everywhere reliably, and explaining how to do that + ensure it's working is probably only going to work for someone who would know what homebrew is.

AirDrop is cool in theory but works about 20% of the time for me. In 2017, the best way to send someone a large file is still to upload it somewhere then give them the link to it. https://getdropsha.re and similar stuff makes that easy enough that your non-technical relatives can use it successfully.
Those cultures are still connected to their mother cultures though. Though they start to become unique as they mix with American/other cultures the link and the advantages it confers have stayed whole. The studiousness of Chinese immigrants for example is a downstream effect from the exam based society of ancient China and is a feature that took hundreds if not thousands of years to develop. It's also not a perfect feature despites its evolution, it often trades max top speed for stronger initial acceleration.
Are you sure that's why? Many companies do this to differentiate between capex and opex, but it's rare that all new development would qualify for R&D credit.

I believe it is true that you can make more money selling non-free software (some of the profits from which should always be used to make free software).

You can generate money only through free software, however. Here are three approaches I have found: 1) Consult on projects that use the free software and use some of the profits to support that free software, 2) Sell enterprise-grade support on the free software to big companies. This is much more than just help-desk and answer the phone. All commercial software comes with a big contract. You provide the same kind of contract just no license restrictions. Others can do the same and so you have to distinguish yourself by either having all or most of the experts on the software or just really good marketing. 3) Dual license using GPL3/AGPL for the free version and a commercial license and then aggressively go after people for GPL violations if they don't get the commercial license.

I don't like the relationships created by the third model ---
your sales processes become aggressive and counter-service minded by definition. I don't see it scaling and really providing value.

The other two are really hard to impossible to get investors exited about and therefore you struggle to get the capital together you need to prime the customer pump.

There is a another general model with many corollaries where you basically "do something else" that uses the software as a critical part of the business and let the profits of that activity fund open-source development.

A lot of open-source these days is actually funded by this kind of activity (or from VC's hoping to profit from a promise of great wealth from this kind of activity).

As a tax lawyer who works exclusively on section 41, you're completely wrong. You should send your clients to tax consultants who know what they're talking about because you clearly do not. Section 41 is a taxpayer centric test, so the work does not have to be "cutting edge." It merely has to resolve technical uncertainties via a process of experimentation.

It's nice that you've took an actual college class on homelessness. I've logged about 10 years in volunteering for programs to feed the homeless, and have shared my home with homeless people for almost 7 years (until I stopped). I've talked to many, many homeless people and every single one of them could have stayed in a shelter but chose not to because of the restrictions on personal freedom. Every single one had some sort of serious mental issue, often compounded by physical disabilities, and was simply unable to care for themselves. Every single one had serious attitude problems to where they basically gave up on trying to make it in this society.

Here, I am talking about the chronic homeless, which are the root of the problem. Not families that may need to sleep in the car because they are in between housing or people crashing on couches while they straighten themselves out. I mean people with tents.

The one person I knew the longest was basically camping out around Palo Alto. The reason why you don't see so many homeless in the suburbs is because the Police are fairly effective at driving them out with beatdowns and destroying their property. This is the reality of not forcing them into group living situations -- let them live on the streets creating a lot of quality of life issues or have an unspoken policy of police brutality. So I would say that what we have now is dystopian.

The last homeless man I let live with me I ended up asking to leave, because he was unable to keep steady work. I just asked him to do something, anything -- it didn't have to be full time -- and he could keep the money himself. But he was able bodied and needed to work. I drove him to his job. At the end of the day, he was pretty blunt in telling me that at his age -- he was in his 50s -- he couldn't stand doing menial work and being ordered around by some kid. For him, it was either a high paying job or camping out. So I finally asked him to leave and he's been camping out (assuming he's still alive at this point -- it's been a while).

I think it's cute you took a college class and now understand the issue. But housing costs have nothing to do it. You can today find a place to live in the U.S. for a few hundred a month. No, not in San Francisco or Manhattan or Monaco, but most of the country is incredibly cheap.

Look at rent prices in the middle of the country. For example, in Phoenix, real rental costs have not increased for 30 years. They've been basically flat. But in Phoenix, the homeless don't have the same access to city services as in San Francisco, or NYC.

> the people who have the most trouble with work/life balance in development jobs, at least out here, is that they are too afraid of saying "no"

absolutely true (at least in my case). I'd rather do that than end up on the other end, though. Without stronger protections for employees, I'll hold out for a stronger financial position on my own before I start negotiating hard about "work/life balance".
> The whole point of an LTS release is that they will keep a stable baseline

I think you're confusing an objective (LTS) with a tactic (keeping a stable baseline). Certainly the whole point of LTS is not to keep a stable baseline, but to provide long-term support. And that is clearly violated when Ubuntu chooses to not provide support when it is known to be needed (e.g., listed in an Intel Spec update) and a solution is available by a vendor (e.g., Linux-specific microcode update being made available by Intel). The whole point of LTS is to avoid the bleeding edge while fixing known bugs. Microcode updates is not bleeding edge, it's just patches for known bugs.
