I hate that term. There is no such thing. Bill Gates can't tell the President "fuck you" and the President can't tell the Pope "fuck you".

Is there any way to tell which torrents have fewer seeds, without having to add them all to my client?
I don't want their money. i want their companies.

Democratize their companies. control them by employment or by employee or government committee if they are too big. Make the big corporations work for the benefit of everyone, rather than shareholders and owners.
I read M+M in college. Later I had a Russian girlfriend and found that I didn't have a clue what it was about. Understanding Animal Farm is pretty easy because we get the references. But understanding M+M without a Russian history background is impossible. Still, even without that background, it's a fun read.
I also would like to know. I'm about to upgrade my laptop and would like to see some viable amd options.
Thanks Dryken! Inside a workspace there is currently only one level of nesting by using clusters. However, you can use internal links like in a wiki to create index pages that build the structure you need with arbitrarily deep nesting.

Generally, we're trying to keep the organisation flat as we've seen lots of teams struggle with deeply nested information, e.g. in the context of huge shared network drives. However, there are some cases where more nesting might be useful and we're already trying out some ways to address that.
Do you think a Trello/Asana/Slack/MS/Google wouldn't be "nimble" enough to riff on a successful feature? See: Facebook/Instagram -> Snap.
We couldn't even put all people on the same linear scale if we wanted to ^^ . It would look like : almost everyone at the bottom, and some people at the top. So yeah, it would be obvious then that the only money we could take is located at the top points.
This is what I've been experimenting with. How are you getting along with rendering React on the server from Python? react-python seems cool but it seems like I'm going to have to do some extra legwork to render a whole redux app rather than just passing props to a component.

Or are you serving up the user-facing pages from Node?
"natural" is in some ways a proxy for "understood". We know lead, tobacco, and radiation are toxic. We have hundreds of years of evidence. On the other hand brand-new man-made chemical X that was just invented yesterday has no track record whatsoever. We just don't know.

I try to read food labels, and it's exhausting trying to keep up with all the new chemicals they put in food (or in furniture, or plastics, or whatever) so rough heuristics become useful and help avoid spending six hours at the grocery store.
I'm very happy to see SciHub going strong - for all the obvious reasons. Now let's just hope they back up to IPFS (if they do, I'll happily pin some of it).

I want to go off a tangent here, though. Now that open access (whether arXiv or SciHub style) is becoming the norm, I wonder what can be done to improve the format of scientific papers? Like e.g. making them more like this:

instead of regular PDFs?
Oh. That actually makes sense.

It kind of seems like the whole story is silly now...
thanks, I am looking into remote monitoring of other services I am using like APIs, etc and to get notified if they fail...
Publishers can provide value, and should not be forced to do so at a loss. Peer review, curating for quality, editing, typesetting, and creating physical copies could be expensive.

True, current publishers don't compensate peer reviewers, limit curation to the set of people who will pay their submission fee, force editing and typesetting back on the authors, and charge egregious fees disproportionate to the cost of distribution. But the concept of the business isn't invalid.
Reminds me of when i first fiddled with Linux, and while checking out dmesg noticed a line up top about having detected a bug in the CPU and deploying a workaround.

What could be done with used tires?
I've seen several photographs of vast piles of used tires, and apparently there is very little that can be done with them.

A couple of years ago I read about some process for creating carbon black out of them, and I've seen playgrounds and other surfaces made with chipped up pieces of tires. Is there really nothing better that can be done with them? Is there any promising research about alternative uses?
Installing an app is not a smoother experience. Allowing notifications is one click. Also, apps don't always have the same features as websites. You also make the assumption that services I use with browser notifications also have apps. This is not true in the slightest. And in some cases, I still prefer the website over an app.

How is it hard to imagine a service I don't frequent use but when I do, I want notifications? I use these services a few times a year at most. Why would I want to install an app if they have it?

Thanks for this post, hope the conscious efforts become effortless soon and you are doing better with your anxiety!

>I think I'm just one of these people who has always needed a crutch. Like I have an addictive personality and cannot do anything in moderation, I always seem to go at it hard or not at all.

Feel ya man. Sometimes I think that about myself, actually I found it out when I was high recently. Lately smoking weed before sleep helps a lot to think about myself and my own problems and my conclusion is that even tho I'm what people would call an extrovert and everyone thinks I'm really social, I have anxiety and am always afraid that I will have nothing to talk about with people so I use alcohol and drugs as crutches.

Regarding those other drugs, can't speak on LSD since I never did it (thinking about it tho), but MDMA is great yet I stick to "do it once in 3 months", tho I know people that abuse it on more than a weekly basis and I'd say they are addicted because it fucked up their brain chemistry so they keep doing it every few days. When you have an access to a huge amount, it easily becomes a habit.
Quite the exaggeration, this silly meme has to stop. You make it sound like writing even a hello world would have horrible vulnerabilities or something. There are thousands of perfectly safe contracts deployed, one can't take some isolated incidents and make such conclusions from such a small sample.
I too didn't have an undergrad in CS but was pretty comfortable as a web dev and sys admin. I ended up getting a MS in Computer Science which definitely took my career to the next level.

What I discovered was that while my day job had prepared me well for actually doing the work, my CS degree taugh me how to interview well and get the next role up.

What I mean is, interviewers tend to focus on many theoretical topics and are looking for the "correct" answer often..some key words that they want you to utter as part of the answer.

My CS degree taught me how to talk educated about technology, algorithms, software engineering, project management etc while my job actually taught me how to do it.
It seems like you misunderstood my comment and started arguing your own straw man issue. I'm going to pass on that one and stick to the point: using linear scales is more useful for physical analogies and cartograms than log scales. I like log scales, and I, like you, think it's really useful to evaluate rich people and global finances on a log scale in addition to appreciating the magnitudes by thinking about them linearly and using physical analogies. I don't think there's any good way to say what @kens' said using a log scale. So if you agree and acknowledge that linear scales and log scales are both useful, then we agree. If you disagree that linear scales are useful or should ever be used, but you are genuinely still asking why, then I can try to help. If you disagree that linear scales are useful and you don't want to hear about why, maybe we should stop arguing?
That is infact, an appeal to authority, don't kid yourself.
My argument is not limited to some thin line you define. Please don't speak for me or put words in my mouth that are not true.

As someone who has considered subscribing to Blue Apron, this was a useful description/critique of the service. I had wondered about portion size, and I always figured there wouldn't be much in the way of leftovers. It's helpful to learn about their offerings for families. We often get take out, which we then dilute with fresh vegetables, and it sounds like it's easy to do that with Blue Apron's food also.

I still need to look at their pricing and subscription options, but this seems like it might actually work for my family.

> You can't make something truly polyglot across all of 2.X and all of 3.X.

There's little reason to though, generally you want 2.7 and >=3.x (the simplest is 3.5, 3.4 is fairly easy, 3.3 is possible but starts being more annoying)

> As far as I know, 2to3 doesn't produce py3-only syntax.

It does: print function, metaclass kwarg. It will also generate syntactically valid but P2-incompatible code (with_traceback calls) as well as possibly semantically break P2 code (rename __nonzero__ to __bool__, basestring and unicode to str, stdlib changes, raw_input to input, …)
Python 3 faced a lot of friction when it was introduced.

There was no backwards compatibility with Python 2 and it had relatively little adoption.

They added Python 3 features to Python 2 over the years to encourage adoption of Python 3 as the standard. It worked.

Now we just need Apple to ship Mac OS with Python 3 instead of 2 as the default and that'll push adoption for developers.

I kind of disagree with this. If you post your problem to someone without asking if they have the time, it interrupts their flow to a much greater degree, because it's simply not possible to read that question without your mind engaging with it.

Posting just "Hey" is kind of dumb, but starting with "Hey, do you have a minute? I have an issue" is fine. It's easy to respond to with "no, sorry" and keep working.
Would it make sense for the peer review to be uncoupled from the distribution? I don't know about if this were physical, but, digitally, if e.g. ACMEcorp serves the paper, and if review team 1, team 2, etc.. can all attach their signatures of peer review in e.g. PeerDB, doesn't that make the review more transparent and detangle incentives?

That's a really incredible analogy. Thank you.
This reminds me of an extremely eloquent comment I saw over on Reddit a while ago about how men being assholes to each other is actually a form of male bonding, and there is a delicate nuance to our rough-edged camaraderie. [1] I was raised in a gentle household by a nerd and a feminist, so when I joined the Army as an infantryman, I absolutely had to learn how this worked and can absolutely attest that it's a real thing. Given the later apologies, it sounds like it's possible the office was bro-ing it up with her and may have even thought they were welcoming her into the tribe, so to speak. (Of course, they could have all just been misogynist assholes, too...sad how there can be little difference)

Thing is, most women absolutely DO NOT respond well to that kind of male bonding. And, honestly, they probably shouldn't--I think this "emotional sonar" is a maladjusted response to men being told they can't express their feelings. Given this, we probably shouldn't be exposing women to that kind of environment either.

I guess this kind of underscores why you need women in the workplace. It's too easy for an all-male space to fall into this kind of emotional language and interaction framework, which is "hostile but comprehensible" to those in the culture, but completely alien to those who aren't--women and foreigners alike. At the very least, we (meaning everyone, not just men) should try to be aware that not everyone bonds the same, and bonding activities for some people and genders may be anti-bonding and hostile to others.

I want to make clear, I'm not trying to justify what happened, but I feel like often these articles are kind of one-sided, which can make it difficult to diagnose what's going on. The problem with saying "don't be misogynist" is I suspect few people identify as one but, on the other hand, we can identify our baggage and try to examine critically how it affects others.

Either way, sorry OP had to experience that, whether mismatched bonding attempts or actual hostility and misogyny.

Well, I would not make that feature available from an included script from a third party domain, so XSS would not be an issue. I would make something like privileged application bundles that you had to authorize first - just like you have to install native apps. I know some people just click OK on everything, but there is no remedy to that other than giving up and not allowing general-purpose networking at all.

Also, people already exploit XSS for DDOS-ing, although not via UDP, but TCP/HTTP. Granted, you can possibly make a worse attack if you have UDP.
I hate the new trend of using "quietly" in news headlines. It usually means "We're trying to make it sound more controversial than it actually is".
What makes "the industry we're in" easier to impact than "the country we're in"?

And I would say that while sexism isn't specific to any single place, culture is highly impactful on the amount of racism/sexism/homophobia you may experience and this is what changes the most when you go from country to country. A startup in San Francisco will have a very different culture to a mid-size company in Madrid.
Yes, SegWit has always had widespread support.

But what I would call "most of the industry" supports a block size increase, in addition to SegWit[0].

As I said in the parent comment, rather than making a compromise with this huge portion of the community, Core has discussed changing the proof of work algorithm in order to shut them out.

I don't think "Core versus the world" is hyperbolic at all.

EDIT: To add to that, remember that Core had to propose a soft-fork which risked a chain split in order to force SegWit into activation. Many were holding back support for the promise of a block size increase. That is why SegWit is now going to lock in: because the New York Agreement folks rallied together, compromised like adults, and agreed to implement both SegWit and a block size increase.

It's interesting how you decry the straw man but then set up your very own in Steps 2 and 3.
Your question is very generic, but in situations where this device might be used most (e.g. walking, getting around) I usually use the following:

* Guide dog (still the non-technical, living and breathing version)
* iPhone for GPS navigation if I don't know the environment
* Aftershokz Bluetooth headset with bone conduction to listen to spoken announcements and still hear what's happening around me

In general, the blind use all kinds of standard consumer tech, smartphone, smartwatch, laptop/desktop etc. There are still lots of products out there specifically designed for the blind, but there is more and more a shift to standard devices.
Interestingly enough, seemingly to compensate for this phenomenon, almost every new platform that requires people to interact with each other has a built in trust and reward system with ratings (e.g. Uber).

And for physical businesses, we have things like Yelp. We are effectively trying to anticipate our opponents behavior through a trusted intermediary.

There was a Black Mirror episode on giving every person on the globe their own rating. It seems that may be the actual destination that we're headed for.

Why are there so many blog posts like this written by women, and why aren't there any written by men?
Let me give you an unpopular answer -

- outside top 500 scientists across all the fields combined no one produces quality papers.

- the manuscripts received by EICs are garbage. EICs themselves rarely touch anything, or edit anything.

- "peer review" process in all non-the-most-upper-tier publication is a joke.

- copy-editing and proofreading is non-existent.

About 15 years ago a lot of journals that are now owned by the major publishers were society publications. This means that societies owned the title, owned the copyright and owned the process. Societies could not find people capable and willing to run a journal for $5k or so a paper including distribution and printing. So the societies went to the likes of Springer, Informa, T&F, Elsevier etc. Those said "Ok, sure. $2k per paper and we produce and distribute it or $5k per paper and we do everything". That was too much for societies. Instead the societies said said "Hey, what if we sold you the rights to the journal? Would you in that case do all of it for free, and let our EIC suck his or her thumb while still being the man/woman on the title page?" "Of course" said the publishers.

And so now we are here. Production costs did not go down. Distribution costs did not go down. In fact, distribution costs increased because before that the journals were printed by a little printers in the US as the volume of most of journals is microscopic ( later printing went to China in the same microscopic quantities ). Now, however, journals also need to be distributed in all kinds of wacky XML formats on all stages of production, which needs to be coded, in most cases by hand.

So unless every Joe, Jack and Jill, the scientist, wants to go back into the publishing world nothing is going to change.

I prefer to realize that even at ninety billion dollars of personal wealth; the full amount is not actually available; is that the US government would consume it in less than ten days.

Even if we could confiscate his and all similar holders of wealth money we could not pay for government for even a year.

the realization we must have is that this amount of personal wealth is not harming the worlds poor and it really doesn't harm those of us here.

the world has such incredible poverty because of government. Government that does not respect property rights, rights to one's self, nor the product of their work.

What makes capitalist societies work is property rights and it is that incentive which provides the stable society many of us enjoy.

If you want to raise the poorest in the world up you do so by encouraging their governments to respect the property rights of even their weakest citizen. To respect the earnings of those who work.

CRISPR likely won't be the ultimate cure you think it is. There are many diseases that aren't linked to a single gene. Even if you could edit the genome through magic, if you don't know what change to make then you can't do anything.
Twitter has been actively banning various accounts, usually alt-right but some even satirical in nature. They banned GodfreyElfwick for instance.

Each time that happens, Twitter loses some of its appeal.

They could very easily put more filtering power in the hands of their users, but don't (to give me more control over whose tweets show up as response to my tweets, which is the main complaint people have about accounts they vehemently disagree with).
I'm not a Go developer but I had piqued Microsoft's interested before, back when I didn't have any professional C# experience (have a few C# projects, though).

Most of my experience is with small web shops and startups so you could definitely get their attention. They just left me with a bad impression when one of their recruiters ghosted me hard. According to LinkedIn the recruiter still works there but it's been difficult trying to get a hold of someone else.

His comment on being surprised to discover he had a large following in Mexico was kind of interesting. I actually met someone who told me they learned to speak English by studying NIN and Tool lyrics. I'd be curious how many other people there are out there like that.
