Well, just because you can't think of one, doesn't mean your explanation is correct, surely. This could easily be explained by an instinctual "hide food remnants to avoid attracting bigger things".

Seems similar to my experiences - AirBnB neighbors throwing a rooftop party and their 'emergency' support won't help unless I can provide them with the airbnb listing of the owner (which I don't obviously have), rather than just the address.

In situations like mine it's easier to call the police - AirBnb aren't interested in helping and having a record of consistent antisocial behaviour (and illegal letting) will help you take action against the owner.
Are we not back to the parable of the fisherman and the banker? http://www.garywu.net/fisherman-and-banker/ -

It depends on who "we" is.

In some cultures, "being the banker" is the ultimate goal in life. I remember talking to a person coming from one of such cultures, telling that "we are taught ambition since we are children". Ambition for the sake of ambition is the root of "being the banker".

So certain cultures are not "back to the parable" - they never moved; they likely, never will, and that's fine, it's their choice, and I don't assume that's negative just because I disagree with it.

This relates to the previous statement:

Call me old fashioned, but rather than working yourself silly to then spend your money buying time back

"Bankers" (or "banking cultures", to follow up with the metaphor) won't do this - they will actually see it as opportunity to produce more with the same time.
This has to be paid placement for the book, shame on you Guardian.

Also it's laughable. Intelligence is basically something you're born with. Around half is inherited, the rest is, IMO, luck, but still determined very young or in the womb.

Giftedness is measurable young, possibly at the beginning of speech (gifted children almost always talk earlier than average). This raises doubt that it's something developed by training.

Some studies also, controversially, show that final IQ can't be easily manipulated by learning. That IQ is fixed at a young age and remains static through a wide variety of future up brining.
You seem to think that "taken to" vs. "brought food from" is a minor or insignificant difference.

It is not.

People in custody must be provided with food and water. If a suspect is being held somewhere where food is not readily available on the premises, it is normal and expected that someone will be sent out to get food.

What is not normal is to take the suspect out to get food.

The headline of the article at The Source says he was "taken to" Burger King. As you yourself noted, most people don't read down the page. It's that headline that gets spread through tweets and social media.

Even if people do read down the page at The Source, they won't get the mistaken impression that Roof was taken to Burger King dispelled, because further in they say he "was treated to a meal at Burger King".

They also say he "was arrested, strapped with a protective bulletproof vest, then treated to burgers and fries", which gives the impression that that he was taken to the food (hence the need for the vest), rather than the food being brought to him.

Maybe The Source did not intend to mislead, but in fact they did, as can be seen by looking at other articles and social media reports that repeated the "taken to" Burger King narrative, which mostly seem to trace back to The Source article.

I think you also may be misunderstanding the scope of Snopes' "false" rating. They are not saying everything in The Source story is false. They are specifically addressing whether or not Roof was taken to Burger King, because that's what was being spread via multiple other outlets and on social media. That is what they are saying is "false". And they are right.
I am all in favor of side projects but I found a number of disturbing errors:

* There are no conferences for either Ruby or Elixir
* There are no conferences on bitcoin
* There is only one conference for React
* You can leave data in the form on where by not picking autocomplete and then it appears to have searched for it but gives incorrect results
* The only way to clear the date settings is to reload the page

I love the concept and the lack of knowing what conferences are happening even nearby is a very real problem but I think there are issues with your database and your search interface.

State-of-art for captive portal handling is:

Step 1) For mobile device to make a request to a special URL that is known to respond with short 200/204, something like that:

http://clients1.google.com/generate_204
http://captive.apple.com/hotspot-detect.html
http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt

...and bring up UI (sandboxed browser) if anything else than expected short 2xx was received.

Step 2) Mobile device reuse same cookies for the same portal second time around, so portal can recognize returning user and let them in without annoying with login prompt each time.

Assuming mobile device has a separate cookie jar for this, and captive portal is HTTPS with proper certificate, and doesn't try to break other people's SSL, that is pretty secure. Sure, this is not the most efficient protocol, but up-side is - it's open-ended. You can fit here anything from "press here if you agree to behave" to complete walled garden like hotspot on a train that shows you interactive map, schedule and transport connections available on the next stop along with small banner asking $1 for full internet access.

My sense is that smaller libraries are more able to evolve at their own place - e.g. the separation of django-rest from django core, or languages moving more things out of their standard library. Pre-1.0 is the easy part, we'll see how Go does is 5 or 10 years once it has a base of programs to maintain compatibility with - I predict it will find it harder to evolve and its library will fall behind.
This thread shows clearly the negativity around everything Microsoft does, especially if you compare to other technology companies. Apple deprecates some API or removes a feature? "It's the future, you have to adapt, etc" Microsoft deprecates a toy program made 25 years ago, but still offers the option of downloading it for free? "How dare they, I want it in the base install, etc"

What these scholars are pushing for eerily resembles good old aristocratic society.

Instead of promoting to consume less (having smaller houses and less clothes, producing less garbage, eating less) they advocate for buying a couple sturdy negroes to do the hard work, while their master can learn to play the piano (and not feel bored/unhappy to cleanup his own shit).

Has the western society already arrived at the point, when there is such an abundance of low-income, unskilled, badly educated people, that the capitalists from Harvard Business School see big potential profits in building a brand new time-saving services industry with all this underutilized labour?
I would never recommend SQL Server on Linux for Enterprise production.

- licensing costs are probably the same. If the cost of an additional Windows Server license is an argument, something else is going on.

- recently having dealt with MS Enterprise support on Linux, it was an horrendous experience I can nobody recommend

- an Enterprise with need for SQL Server without Windows Server support engineers?

- did we see independent performance tests published? A quick search I found these http://www.fhtino.it/blog/showpost.aspx?id=6790c78accb84f9c9..., seemingly not a convincing argument.

IMHO the whole story stinks and none of the arguments mentioned by Microsoft are valid. Probably it is all about winning hearts and minds.

SQL Server on Docker images for Devs is great as these are free of licensing costs (I guess).

Same thing as with Trump. It's because literally nothing else works today against self-righteous leftists.

You said in another comment that majority of Poles would rather leave EU than deal with the Islamic mess. AFAIK the most credible opposition to the current government is still PO, who were the ruling party before and literally in the last days of their term they signed an extremely unpopular obligation to accept forced resettlement of German Muslims, which the current government had to backpedal from, damaging the country's international credibility.

The Polish government doesn't really have to do anything to stay in power indefinitely now. Until something changes on the political scene and a credible opposition arrives which isn't a puppet of Brussels, it's enough that they shake their fist at Merkel's social policies every now and then and they are literally guaranteed to win every election forever.

There are a few problmes here. first one is that I have currently my hands quite full. Second is that for a successful launc, I guess a good idea is about 1%, technical MVP is another 1%, execution of everything else maybe 18% and pure dumb luck 80%. Here, even if I had time to come up with the MVP (and honestly, I am very sue that there are people reading this that would come up with the MVP in a fraction of time than it would take me), there is still the 98% left that I am really bad with.

I am open to discuss about this further, though, if there are people interested in taking a lead. (Ideally I would see this built as a open source client on top of some distributed data store and not a for-profit thing, but that probably is way too idealistic)

JS engines are supposed to be sandboxed, and have limited APIs to draw from. Unless you use a jail, a local application can do just about anything.

The difference is expectation. I expect websites to run things I don't control. I expect a local application to behave in a certain way.

I stopped watching CNN as well because the bias was all too blatant and here I was all these years thinking that it was unbiased or at least tried to be balanced.

Marc Andreessen (whom I consider one of the smartest people I like to learn from) touches on this media issue here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZhBVBBBNs0

Even Marc is deeply conflicted when it comes to this particular issue. I think Marc is a partially closeted rightist and it's understandable because he works in California which is largely leftist. If you've followed Marc on Twitter(when he used to post) and on is interviews, you'll notice he'll be deeply inclined towards rightist views (he'll mention Venezuela as a cautionary tale) but not even he had the courage to support the republican party during the last election. The only person I know who had the chutzpah to come out, so to speak, was Peter Thiel and I respect him deeply for this.

That said, even Thiel is human after all; he was supposed to attend the PFS(a conference led by one of the best right leaning economists of our times - Hans-Hermann Hoppe) last year but cancelled as it had begun to draw unwanted attention.
It's not just the templates, Solidity is a terribly designed language. It reminds me of the original JavaScript before 10+ years of dedicated attempts to make it usable.

In Belgium we have this great thing called servicecheques (="dienstencheques"). It is a government sponsored project where you can buy a servicecheque for 9 euro's, and you will get 3 euro's back from taxes.

Each cheque represents 1 hour of work such as house cleaning, ironing, meal preparing, etc.

This system is to promote low-wage work, but also has the nice benefit so people can cheaply buy home services. Wages are pretty high in Belgium, so this is an ideal solution for both people doing that kind of work, and working people in high need for such services.

But isn't a verifiable ledger of public transactions a valuable thing in and of itself? I believe the original intent of Bitcoin was to also help facilitate things like land deed transfers. A blockchain could easily replace all the of the "legals" sections in newspapers.
A classic move from Japan and South Korea's economic rise was a closed home market, but with home companies forced to export.

This created a safe pool where new local companies could grow before they were able to face international competition. These companies could incubate and then burst onto the international stage.

I wonder if this is an electronic version of, e.g. what Korea does with its automobile industry using taxes...

The gap is that Chinese online companies don't seem to be exporting much as yet. In the case of chat at least, I think it is actually being held back by GFW because you need a chinese phone line to register.

Keith Packard is a big contributor to Linux graphics, a recent blog post notes:

> So, you've got a fine head-mounted display and want to explore the delights of virtual reality. Right now, on Linux, that means getting the window system to cooperate because the window system is the DRM master and holds sole access to all display resources. So, you plug in your device, play with RandR to get it displaying bits from the window system and then carefully configure your VR application to use the whole monitor area and hope that the desktop will actually grant you the boon of page flipping so that you will get reasonable performance and maybe not even experience tearing. Results so far have been mixed, and depend on a lot of pieces working in ways that aren't exactly how they were designed to work.

It's both. Having ads on some apps doesn't make it not an OS anymore. I won't deny it's an advertising platform, just like android or ios or television or radio or the internet. And while it's equally annoying on all those media/systems, it doesn't lessen their or usefulness
Bringing this back to the topic at hand, it doesn't really matter if the left is going "too far", but rather whether the consumers of right-wing media think they are going too far based on the lies they are being fed. And at that point they'll "correct" with a new holocaust or civil war or whatever the very, very rich people who have the most to lose will support to protect their wealth.
The question Snopes was answering: "Donald Trump expressed strong opposition to the war in Iraq before it began in 2003". Snopes says this is false.

The video you linked is an excerpt from a Trump interview where he mostly waffles on whether we should attack Iraq. The closest he comes to opposing the war is saying that perhaps we shouldn't do it yet and perhaps should wait for the UN.

In what universe is that "strong" opposition?

Strong is perhaps a fuzzy term, but the context is Trump making claims like this one during one of the GOP debates: "I’m the only one on this stage that said, ‘Do not go into Iraq, do not attack Iraq.’ Nobody else on this stage said that. And I said it loud and strong".
