> That's a pretty restrictive filter

I agree. Ideally, tuition would be extremely subsidized and higher ed wouldn't constitute an enormous financial gamble. But in the current US system, the restrictive filter really is in the students' best interest.
On the other hand, you can make a man worth much more than any given amount by making it legal to create new bank balances out of thin air (central banking). This, too, deprives him of the right to earn the amount that his abilities and situation would permit him to earn, while forcing his community to continue to be subject to the services he did not earn on his own. In brief, for a high wage you substitute over-employment. You do harm all around, with no comparable compensation (though it will be pitched otherwise). Interesting disparities we have at opposite ends of the income scale.
A thing you two aren't considering is the that US and the UK are the world leaders on the offensive side of this same technology, "we" just do a (slightly) better job of keeping this stuff contained. Raytheon, BAE, etc. all have cyber weapons development divisions and obviously GCHQ and NSA do their own internal development. The west's policy of "proportional response" will apply to cyber attacks as well.

Not that this is an excuse for having unpatched systems or not designing for the catastrophe scenario, but we should remember that this is a two-way street.

In our case, they were still given adequate salary.

"I want to learn to..."
"What do you need from me in order to...?"

I've covered everything from salary to child care.

By the way, the costs for salary and benefits were a fairly small percentage of overhead. A decent print room can be more expensive than even the highest paid employee.
"Our merchants and master-manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price, and thereby lessening the sale of their goods both at home and abroad. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people." – Adam Smith
A study (that I could find if someone is really interested) found that the zone of the brain that activated when you thought about god was the same as the zone that activated when you thought about yourself.

Actually what happens when they hear something unethical is that believing people excuse that on the devil, whereas for atheists it was as stupid moment of yourself.
The Media seems to have this lowest common denominator "popularity contest reporting": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_media https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda-setting_theory

So -- what would make a social bookmarking service (reddit / machine-ranked news sites) more helpful? And, what would be helpful to a consumer of news? Would it be defined as, keeping the reader engaged and contributing to their suite of social causes (e.g. consuming media comprised of "40% Bieber, 30% Viability of the Planet, 30% Automobiles")?

To make the bookmarking service more helpful, a service could facilitate codifying topics' seriousness. Perhaps manually through a user generated voting/weighting scheme, e.g. "[X] This story concerns life-or-death issues for 10-20 million people."

Then once that information is associated with a subject, some smart agent could automatically carry this characterization around along with the user's surfing so that each article they read includes, in a side-bar perhaps, the "seriousness" of the subject.

Making it helpful is the hard part, for me. So, finally to "help", it could help the reader conclude the projected utility of spending the time to actually read any given webpage, and share reports about their 'budget' of time spend consuming media of their preference.
Because the basic glibc resolver is still in the last century. (No cache, no DNSSEC, no link-local multicast name resolution, no concept of per-interface DNS resolution worlds, and so on. See the relevant part of the NEWS file: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS#L3966 )

The Madison, WI farmer's market is incredible[1]. They block off the entire capital building, and thousands of people go. That was my and my wife's Saturday morning tradition for years while we were in grad school, and we still go back a few times a year.

Religion is control of the masses. Spirituality is exploration of the spirit.
The planning part is what you're missing. If I order from Whole Foods, I have to decide what to order. If I sign up for Blue Apron, they decide for me. Exactly what I need, no more and no less, shows up on my door weekly. No thinking required.

Of course, whether that's a big benefit (or even interesting) to you or not will vary, but I think it's a material difference.

(FWIW we tried Blue Apron for a little while and thought it was ok, but the pain points they solve aren't big pain points for us. And we found that the recipes we kind of hit or miss for our tastes. So we canceled a long time ago.)
Welcome to the modern news cycle, where alternative realities are only a click away! Sit back and enjoy your daily deluge into the fantasies of some revenue-pressured writer seeking to capitalize on the latest zeitgeists us citizens consume each day as if they are fact.
Sorting things by hand is very relaxing and built in to us humans. I sort perls with my daughter when we make those perl-plates that you can melt with a hot iron. Or puzzle pieces, lego, whatever:)
The article should be more precise about when the actual encryption is happening. To my knowledge it is performed only after rebooting. Am I right to assume, that if for some reason the machine is powered off before booting up again, or if it is unable to boot up due to drive encryption, raid or other circumstances (i.e. the checkdisk and ransomware screens are not displayed), the drive is fully restorable by recovering the MBR/VBR?
Technically with the advent of Nodejs, you can just use one language and only use 1 or 2 frameworks for a full responsive web app. You just have to use Javascript for all of it
Yeah. But what does that mean for their business model?
When I was younger I used to be able to separate the sensation of what my hands were feeling from the location of my hands or the material they were actually feeling. Mainly on fabric.

I guess the best way to describe it -- it's as if the surface of my palm was like a hundred fingertips rather than a single palm. When the sensation first happened it freaked me out. I didn't know what was going on and couldn't stop it because it was just scary. Then for a while I could flip it on and off like a switch.

Every once in a while that state of interpreting sensation from my hand will switch on randomly as I am falling asleep. I wonder if this is related to this type of meditation or a tactile rather than auditory sensory hallucination.

Holy crap, the farmer's market takes EBT. That's awesome!
"The Market is a perfect construct that certainly has never employed unscrupulous tactics in order to undercut the masses and pad the pockets of the privileged few" - people who make arguments like this
This is the one thing I find Asana effective for. Another option might be to repurpose issue tracking software - after all, it's basically just a to-do database. I've also known people who use plain text files on a remote machine plus vim plus SSH.

But software is just a tool. What it sounds like you really need is a system for keeping all these balls in the air. Without a system, no software is going to solve the problem of failing to remember you need to follow up on things.

This type of work is something I find Getting Things Done very effective for. You don't have to rigidly implement everything the book prescribes, but it does offer a philosophy and a toolkit of processes that you can mix and match to keep your work organized.

Once you have a process, you can implement it in OneNote or index cards, or whatever the heck else feels ergonomic to you.
> 1. Everything is purely physical. When you die, you are worm food, the end. Many people 'believe' this, given no proof of either way.

Other than it's the only thing we have evidence for. You know... that. It's quite rational to 'believe' something when all evidence we have points to it. The reverse is not true.

Which brings me to...

> The other option is that there is some unknown type of "energy" (boy, do I hate that word, BTW). And our bodies are some sort of receiver.

Ok, so test this. If it exists and has an effect it should be measurable. Guess what's good at measuring stuff? Science. So go get that Nobel or something - help design a test and study for it!

OoBE, lucid dreams, and NDE's all have very normal non "energy" explanations when you dive into anything more than a superficial level (and they are fascinating! It's a really cool area of science!)

> The second offers much more

Yes, empty promises with no proof are generally considered to offer plenty but unless you can show me actual evidence then it's just more snake oil.

What % of people have to be in the meal kit target market for kit companies to have many billions of $ of valuation?

I can empathize with the author on wanting to leave when not feeling like an essential part of a team. Personally, I like coding and designing, and definitely I like being part of a team and working towards a goal. But for all the dev managers out there: try to inoculate some form of ownership, so that your devs feel a sense of belonging.

Its not so much that I actively seek to leave when that happens as much as I become more receptive to other opportunities. And recruiters and other companies are very good at luring candidates, so it all adds up.

WaPo is being contradicted by a recent report from the National Bureau of Economic Research...

https://evans.uw.edu/sites/default/files/NBER%20Working%20Pa...

"Using a variety of methods to analyze employment in
all sectors paying below a specified real hourly rate, we conclude that the second wage increase
to $13 reduced hours worked in low-wage jobs by around 9 percent, while hourly wages in such
jobs increased by around 3 percent. Consequently, total payroll fell for such jobs, implying that
the minimum wage ordinance lowered low-wage employees’ earnings by an average of $125 per
month in 2016"
I've found that Gemini (https://gemini.com) is the best alternative. You'll see it as most recommendations for alts against Coinbase.
I agree with everything you are saying but I think you missed the fundamental point I was trying to make: Hydrocarbon (gas) 'battery' as an alternative to lithium battery.

Because in the situation you describe, the weak point is still the means of storing energy. The big, heavy, hard to produce/recycle, limited lifespan lithium battery.

Don't take this the wrong way, I am completely against dependence on un-sustainable fossil fuels. But hydrocarbon fuel cells seem like an idea that has legs.
Wonder raises $14M for smartphone-console hybrid
Correct. Raising minimum wage disenfranchises disabled and less productive workers from finding jobs and deprives them of the social engagement that accompanies work.
as an org, what is the value of hiring full stack vs specialized individuals for each part of the stack? I guess one reason is if money is of concern. I can't think of any other reason for doing so.
Err, Bork was advocating for his view, so i'm not sure he's a good source?

Look, your argument amounts to:

For 60+ years, between 1920 and 1982, there was literally no legal theory development in antitrust. No other cases, no thoughts by anyone, no articles. Then suddenly, Bork came on the scene and redefined everything overnight!

Certainly that would have made my antitrust law classes a lot shorter, but i don't think it's reality :)

Let me try a different source for you

Here's what one of the authors of the act (Senator Hoar) had to say about it:
""... [a person] who merely by superior skill and intelligence...got the whole business because nobody could do it as well as he could was not a monopolist..(but was if) it involved something like the use of means which made it impossible for other persons to engage in fair competition.""

Oh look, a consumer welfare argument.

Also, here's another case from the supreme court in 1940 (Apex Hosiery Co. v. Leader 310 U. S. 469)
"The goal [of the sherman act] was to prevent restraints of free competition in business and commercial transactions which tended to restrict production, raise prices, or otherwise control the market to the detriment of purchasers or consumers of goods and services, all of which had come to be regarded as a special form of public injury."

(emph mine). A very clear consumer welfare argument. They also cite supreme court cases.
^preach
- be confident enough to start purging negative people and situations from your life.

- Early in your career, if you ever find yourself saying "I wish I could do X, but I work to much/have already used all my vacation time, etc" - without question you should to do those things and work less. Nobody ever looks back in time (especially in a situation when they are out of time) and says "gee I really wish I worked more".

- You are about to enter the age of drinking/bar/club/happy hour culture. Sure, have fun. But remember that there is almost never any return on this investment. All that time spent in the bar (and the time spent recovering from it) costs you time that could be spent pursuing your passions, hobbies, fitness, etc. Those things return in MULTIPLES later in life.
Almost only thing worse is a UK electrical plug.
Yes, but they just started the process of acquiring Whole Foods which does the prepared food thing quite well. I'm sure Amazon would tap into that. It's no longer just a "dry goods in warehouse" business.
I'm excited too. Let's not say technology is moral though, because that backfires later when we want to make the case that "it's just technology, and can be used for bad or good."
I've heard "you" before as well. As in, "you should go talk to that person before they leave," for example.

Coinbase is what I recommend for getting money into an exchange. CEX.io is another way to get money in, though when you buy bitcoins with them the prices they give you seem a bit low to me. This is easier to get money in by credit card than coinbase, I'd use coinbase if coming from a bank.

Bittrex is the exchange I recommend, and they have a lot of currencies. Poloniex is ok, it's big but slightly fewer currencies, I don't like the interface as well. Kraken is a bit better interface, but way fewer currencies. C-CEX has a reputation for scamminess and running questionable currencies, I'd stay away.
Higher profits aren't a bad thing. Higher profits mean higher taxes paid, higher profits also mean more money put into work (personal investments or by third parties, i.e. put in a bank and the bank makes their own investments or loans it). Higher profits means wealth is being generated. Contrary to popular belief, minimum wage does not distribute wealth, but rather excludes those who have less, therefore helps accumulating wealth.

Minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be a job for life. It's an entry level job. If you want higher paid jobs, you need to earn it. Minimum wage increase causes unemployment, you end helping a few at the expense of others who happen to need help the most.
How journalists can tell compelling stories using VR
True but regardless of which one is technically correct, both pretty much share the same negative connotations now. I used to always hear people talking about how the swastika is really a sign of peace, but regardless of what it originally meant, it doesn't mean that anymore.
Its appearance correlates with "Mother" or "Super-Intendent"
And if you're getting started today in investing -- it's always a good time to invest. If you think that 10 years ago you should have invested in X, then in 10 years from now you'll be thinking you should have invested in Y.

For example -- buying BTC is a bit expensive today and will likely be more expensive in the future. You could buy 1 BTC today and hope that it goes up significantly in the future. OR you could look at Ethereum and realize that it's in a similar place to BTC and that in 7 years from now you may be wishing you had purchased it today.

moderate services that he is capable of rendering

The community is not deprived. Seattle has determined that even the most moderate of services are worth $15/hour. And for all your fancy words, you haven’t addressed anything in the article that disagrees with you.

And finally, it is considered in poor taste to quote someone (in this case, Henry Hazlitt) without attribution. Hell, you couldn’t even be bothered to wrap it in quotations, implying that these are your own words. (This was the case before parent edited it.)
The existence of this Washington Post article was determined yesterday by the existence of an article critical of Seattle's minimum wage in the Wall Street Journal. Andrey Markov is sleeping soundly in his grave.
Decent SQL skills for an intern, but I don't really see any "analysis" here. As someone who's been buying and following cryptocurrencies intently for the past few months, I can confidently say there's nothing in this article that even a novice investor would be interested in.

The TL;DR is "Prices went up, prices went down. Some more than others." There's nothing actionable in that.

And a lot of the currencies in your dataset have basically zero volume. AMIS -- your "most profit in a day" -- appears to have a 24h volume < $1,000 and isn't even traded on a single major exchange. Again, that information serves no purpose, and coins like that should probably be excluded as outliers. The fact that they were not only included but highlighted tells me that the author knows nothing about the market they're attempting to analyze.

This looks more like clickbait / advertising, to be honest. "Hey, we need someone to write an article on cryptocurrencies because it's a hot topic. Just give me 2,500 words and a few graphs ASAP. Doesn't matter if it's relevant."

words missing from this article: 'delivery', 'outsource', 'manufacturing', 'offshore', 'manual labor'.

Seattle is the headquarters of starbucks (low-wage high-labor coffee shipped from overseas) and amazon (manufactured goods shipped from wherever). They can raise the minimum wage because a big piece of their economy is already happening elsewhere.
It's currently mostly smoke and mirrors, people who are vested into the ecosystem and VC money feeding it. Their goal is to have society adopt it, so then their "$1000" is actually worth something, however right now as per example of the Ethereum's Ether drop to $0.10 - the crypto-assets aren't very liquid and their communities know this and are sneaky/sly and careful to not upset this. If they succeed it will be bad for society, it will unfairly and unreasonable transfer wealth to the "early adopters." Part of the smoke and mirrors is the purposeful misnomer of using the word currency in its name - cryptocurrency - and using the $ sign.
And then there was also that whole Eich purge fiasco.
Cache and DNSSEC do not require a non-standard DBUS API.

LLMNR and per-interface DNS resolution are features that very few applications need. Those that do can link with their own resolver libraries.
Yes, we should be skeptical of all news sources, but from my experience, traditional newspapers tend to consistently misreport information security news.

I personally only trust security blogs and Twitters operated by certain security experts when it comes to news about security. I have a list of about 30 or so experts I trust.

I know that's not really practical advice for a typical person, though.

I think the Guardian handled the retraction and apology as best they could, and they deserve props for that, but it seems the hit-miss ratio for infosec stories is very poor for most "mainstream" sources out there (as much as I despise the "MSM" term).
This is another example of WaPo's overly sensational piece. To be fair, USPS loses BILLIONS on retirement funding, reduced mailing due to the dominance of Internet age with emails and other competitions. [1] $79 million in fiscal year 2013 loss due to this type of shipments is a drop in the bucket comparing to the mishaps in operations and reduced volumes at $3B/quarter in 2011.

I think you'd find that many people who would agree with the quote at the top of this thread will also agree that this is a bad idea as well (at the least, when used as you describe); your comment is an accurate description of an additional problem to be addressed.
I second that- when I was a kid I had tons of common bricks (1- and 2-by-N's) and regularly built decent-sized houses with full-height walls and multiple rooms and such. My 5 year-old daughter recently graduated from Duplo to Lego and I don't see a good way of building up a decent foundation of just "normal" bricks from which she can build lots of things. I definitely feel like there's a lack of sets with good quantities of them. Even the large "Classic" sets are pretty light on them compared to other pieces, and what they do have is spread out over like 15 colors, so you can forget about trying to make anything match.

I've looked on eBay, but most of what I see in bulk there are lots of just one size or one color bricks, or just pounds of completely random pieces. I'd love it if I could find something like an assortment of 1,000 mixed 1-by-1/2/3/4/6/8 bricks in 4-5 colors, or the same with 2-by-N bricks.
Not much. If they can still be the place where all the small communities gather then they still have all the data. It's clearly in Facebook's best interest to provide maximum value to their users; whether that is small or large groups doesn't matter to them.
