Your argument is "maybe not", which isn't adding much. So can we agree that if the reward you would get is actually less than the electricity+bandwidth costs of you leaving your computer on all day, then you're better off keeping the 500GB free?

Just like in Bitcoin, my free CPU cycles are better kept free because if I try to mine Bitcoin I would have to leave my computer on 24/7 and it would cost me more than the BTC rewards I'd very rarely receive?

We've literally just swapped free CPU cycles for free disk space, and we both know PoW is centralized and it's not worth individuals with a laptop to mine, but somehow the free disk space won't suffer the same fate?
Sure. But if the build utility was just some binary, then it wouldn't matter. If Go was abandoned by all maintainers tomorrow or they broke all the packages, the already built binary will still work.

Should someone have changed the Python build tool to be 2.7 or 3? Maybe if they were bored and new it was something that needed work or wanted to be good tech citizen. However, what really happened is that no one even knew what the tool was really doing, just that it was part of a suite of tools in a build process, and no one would have looked twice at it ever again had wheel not removed support for 2.6. /me shrugs.
A few big changes happened in the 90s.

- Internet rapidly became increasingly ubiquitous. And it was largely aligned with the Unix philosophy of plaintext formats.

- Computers became fast enough and powerful enough to make interpreted languages (and VM-based languages) usable.

- Open source took off.

- This produced explosion of new, free scripting languages that were really good at working with strings, dynamic data structures, and plaintext formats.

- Visual Studio and Delphi both still cost thousands of dollars. Not something you could download and evaluate or try out. Not something you'd decide to learn on a whim. And not something with a big community of open-source developers sharing things for free. Delphi made the business decision to price out the small shops and individuals that were its customers in hopes of going after an enterprise market.

- Except in some areas (games, embedded, etc.) the industry shifted toward making things with open-source scripting languages or java for the business stuff. Those who remained in desktop and didn't switch to java switched to visual studio.

- The creator of Delphi left and went to Microsoft and created C# to compete with java.

The static languages were also somewhat slow to adapt to plaintext data formats. They typically used proprietary binary formats and those were easy to work with (they could basically directly load and dump to/from RAM/disk). But serializing and unserializing and marshaling and unmarshaling to/from plaintext formats was a pain. Eventually they got generics and templates and macros and things to make it less painful, but it's still nowhere near as simple as in the typical interpreted dynamic language. (I recently modified an old 80s-90s era C program to output JSON and did some work on getting a Pascal program to read it.)
All good points.

Also as someone who's a software engineer working in the firmware space, I suspect LTE base stations are just plain more reliable than home WiFi routers...

Sheriffs tried the same with me, also in Kansas. Threatened to impound my vehicle to search it, threatened me with arrest, ultimately let me go about my business because I had not violated the law or given a viable appearance of doing so. It was a very clear bully technique that fell apart when I calmly asserted my rights.

This certainly isn’t a localized tactic. I recall discussion of videographers printing statutes and employing them when threatened about recording police activity in public spaces. The frightening aspect (to me) is that some law enforcement officers genuinely appear to believe that they have authority that they don’t have.

I‘m struggling as well since i have migrated from my 2015 macbook pro.
The new keyboards are not well suited for writing more than a few occassional sentences. I make more typing mistakes and am slower than before.
Worst keyboard since my whole life. Apple needs to improve this.
Are you trying find some injustice here? Or are you really trying to compare what little you know of this person to the nothing you know of all the other candidates?

I have the number 7 on a card. Is that higher or lower than all the other numbers I have on cards? Seven is a pretty low number... There's gotta be a higher number on my other cards, right? Let's reason that one out. I tell you that seven is highest number amongst the cards I have. Now you'll call that into question because... seven seems pretty low to you? What do you know that I do not?
Postmarkapp was flawless for my mediocre 24k emails per month.
I actually really like my 2017 MBP's keyboard. There isn't much key travel, but the keys do have a very satisfying "click." I prefer it over older apple keyboards. Keys do have issues weekly or so, but that's resolved by hitting the key a bunch; it's an inconvenience, but certainly not a dealbreaker.

"she stated she recused herself from the vote"

Is this part of your first comment incorrect?
Yes, Google Drive is the butt of many jokes in our company too. The main reason we're using it is because Dropbox is prohibitively expensive.
Essentially, Nix treats every version of a package, or every "instance" of a package compiled with different flags, or different "build inputs", as a completely different dependency. So foo-1.0, foo-2.0, and foo-2.0-debug are all separate things you can depend on, from the POV of the package manager. A huge "symphony" (a friend's term) of symlinks holds it all together.
Congrats Bill and Rich, and good luck at Chase.

[@KirinDave] @bitemyapp Yeah I'm hysterical that's real cool.

That covers a portion of the claim. (I'm trying to stay out of actually passing judgement on bitemyapp or his ">"-quoted defence or KirinDave's earlier claim.)
That decision defines, in that very part you quote, an investment contract (where basically one expects profit directly without working for it) as a security. That is not surprising really, as it is perhaps the most trivial form of it.

But that was not my question. You, and others have also in conversation, stated that has a requirement for something to be legally regarded as a security. That is what seems unlikely to me.

The very decision you quoted starts out with:

> the Securities Act of 1933 defining "security" as including any "investment contract,"

Note the word "including". That A is B does not mean that B is A. There are other forms of securities, and this document alone should not lead anyone to believe that if they only append to their contractual terms that tokens are to be regarded without use or value, that they somehow would not legally be selling securities anymore.

> Humanity is amazing

True.

> Billions of years of nothing but mindless senseless suffering and death in the natural world

False ("nothing but" signals either a silly rhetorical flourish, or profound ignorance of the "natural world", which contains joys and sorrows in vast and complex patterns resisting such narrow simplification).

> the fact we can try at all is possibly the most special thing that has ever happened in the entire universe

Daft if you ignore "possibly" - we know almost nothing even of other regions of our own galaxy, let alone 'the entire universe'. Trivially true if you admit "possibly".

All this aside, however amazing humanity undoubtedly is, it is failing, perhaps inevitably, at the signal task of our age, which is to maintain civilisation without destroying our home. There is no sign thus far that this can or will improve.

I don't think there's such a thing as impassable moat other than a monopoly. And monopolies eventually get busted by governments.
I agree with you that comments like that do not add to anyone’s knowledge. These are kinda too extreme to get right at first part of life and obvious at the second. If someone positively explained to me what life really is when I was young, I wouldn’t spend around a decade on bs ideas that are simply not there.
Zelle is more than that: Zelle is a new interbank network for free and instant money transfers that avoids the Federal Reserve ACH system that PayPal, SquareCash, etc use which takes 24-36 business hours for money to move.

I'm surprised that Zelle is moving so slowly - it's a great selling point for a bank/CU. Alas, the system doesn't allow for non-personal payments, so the banks want to preserve their commercial payments processing income.
The vast majority of people hold mostly beliefs that their culture has inducted them into. I expect if you interrogate yours closely, you'll find some in your own stock. Some form of human exceptionalism is a bedrock of most cultural belief systems (including the scientistic one). It's so universal, that I wonder about your wondering. Where have you been?
The funny part was it was during one of my extended wanderlust adventures and I'd just finished spending a couple of weeks volunteering in Greenville, KS.

They'd just been almost totally destroyed by a tornado and I happened to be just a little ways away. So, lacking anything better to do, I bought some work clothes and went to help move rubble.

I was leaving the State and decided I'd nap for a few hours. I didn't feel like getting a hotel so I slept in the car. It turns out, I was sleeping in a factory parking lot and the people who came in to open it called the police - or so the cops said. It probably didn't help that I was in manual labor clothing, I'm not white, and I was in a new BMW. I probably looked like a drug dealer. That's still not an excuse.

Not to worry, I didn't let it reflect on the nice people of Kansas. But, after I'd spent a couple of weeks just giving my time to those in need, their cops harassed me and told me that I was banned from their State. I haven't been back but that's just coincidental.

What I never see mentioned in these types of articles is the rise of the service economy. There are some jobs that will never be automated because we prefer to deal with humans. Take food service for instance. No one wants to go to a high end steak house and have their wine poured and meal served by robots. Human interaction is part of the experience and part of the value. (At McDonald's, by contrast, the humans don't add value and could easily be replaced.) The "human touch" is going to become more important, not less, as automation increases.
It is an interesting concept yes. Also it has the merit of actually accurately measuring the time one spends on the site. (As browsers can throttle JavaScript on tabs which are not in front). How to communicate this to the users is a bit hard though. Should the site show ads and somewhere have a toggle to switch to mining? Would people actually go there?
I leave my computer on all day anyways, I'm pretty lazy. Or rather, the cost of having to wait for it to boot is greater than the electricity. The fact of the matter is that I'm paying a large premium for a small slice of usable time and I'm not in the minority.
I think they are saying the opposite.

Some of the stats in the thread seem to indicate that a not insignificant minority do self employ or consult.

Mainly because percentage-wise there are so few of them, and they don't make up a significant enough portion of the economy to keep it afloat.
Thanks! It's good, and is correctly showing some similar songs.

HookTheory doesn't use Roman Numeral analysis though. I like that language, because it's easy to compare songs that are modulated to different keys. For example, Forget December - Something Corporate (D F C1 G) and New Divide - Linkin Park (Em G D A) are both ii-IV-I-V.

http://vjmanzo.com/clicheprogressions/index.php?title=Catego...

HookTheory says that Fm Ab Eb Bb in the key of Eb is also like Closing Time - Semisonic. But vjmanzo's site correctly notes that it's shifted over 2 places: Closing Time is I-V-ii-IV instead of ii-IV-I-V.

I've figured out how to get the real notes out of an MP3 using Melodyne, which is how I found the notes for Forget December. But I had to search online for the key, and then look up the Roman Numerals in a table. I wish I could just throw in an MP3 and get a Roman Numeral chord progression out of the other side.
Great shitpost, too bad none wired headphones like the crowd favourites qc35 and others have volume keys too. Its sad to think that you cannot get out of your bubble and realise that this is not objectively a bad design choice, but some of us actually enjoy and applaude it.
One text editor I have always wanted is a word processor with first class vim keybindings support. I don't need too many fanciful features but the most important features would be proper text reflowing and vim integration. Vim doesn't do too well with reflowing text when a hard margin is set, nor when there a single digital line is stretched across several visual lines. Vim by default would treat it as a single digital line and it makes navigating really difficult as cursors would jump across the screen.
wht framework is it using?
And wages are growing faster in China than anywhere else. Automation has never been associated with mass unemployment or declining wages. In fact, the reality is exactly the opposite: it is the ultimate cause of all increases in workers' compensation.

The belief that automation will hurt workers goes back 200 years and is found in sources as diverse as Marx's writings, JFK's speeches, and warnings from world renowned scientists (the Ad Hoc Committee on the Triple Revolution). It's a product of the natural human tendency towards pessimism (which is a very useful survival instinct).

Huge congrats to the team!

One feature that stood out for me was the ability to issue refunds without fees. It was not common a few years ago. This allowed me to build an event ticketing platform where promoters could sell tickets. If an event is cancelled and we had already paid out funds to the promoter, my business could have been 'on the line' for the refunds.

Even though we were never a huge customer, the business didn't succeed, they still always treated us like we were important. This was a stark contrast to PayPal, whom they were originally trying to take down.

I suspect this merger is also about their fraud detection system. I hope Chase can put it to good use, they need it.
My biggest beaf with the TouchBar: volume takes two clicks! Instead of an up down and mute button, I get mute and volume which then opens a slider to the left of the click. So instead of just clicking once to lower volume I have to click, move my finger and slide. It would be so easy to allow custom button to add back on (and maybe there is that I haven't been able to find?)

I also accidentally 'touch my pinky finger when typing my password (numbers) and it registers as touch even though I'm not applying downward force. In Chrome thank god I could remove the refresh button, would accidentally refresh login pages all the time.
This, so much. Plus, call me clumsy, but the number of times I have accidentally triggered one of the magic bar buttons is beyond count. In everyday use, it often feels like my computer just randomly mutes system audio or locks the display (I had to get rid of the Siri button, it's incredibly annoying).

All of that besides the fact that you cannot really use VIM any more because the ESC button is gone...
He's likely is referencing the fact that back in 2012 the Chinese data was just from Shanghai. This was not a secret -- it was also listed as just being from Shanghai. And they took first or near first in literally everything. Shanghai, of course, is a city (a rather large one at a population of 24 million) but not China as a whole.

There was extensive media coverage calling China's results completely fake and unrepresentative. The most recent data from 2015 (what I referenced) tested China as a whole. Their rankings declined, yet they remain far ahead of the US in everything except reading where we are a tiny sliver ahead of them. This received minimal media coverage.

This is a general issue when media. When the media emphasizes one issue strongly, only to give minimal coverage to the revelation that they were wrong (the implication of the coverage was that China would not be a world leader if the data were 'real') - it leads to a misinformed populace.

No. Even liquefying the solid part of the planet with another similar body wont kill everything. Life exists in the upper atmosphere and beyond. There is life on our space junk, and things survive in escaped impact debris.
I don't think he is tone deaf. I have a good ear for pitch, but I'm not a trained musician. I could hear minor differences in most of those songs, but the difference was minor, not dramatic.

When I'm listening to music, and it shifts between minor and major modes, I can tell right away.

I suspect the cause is that there are emotional cues in the human voice, and even changing from minor to major doesn't alter those emotional cues. Also, prior expectations can dull the perception of difference.

TBH, I was surprised at how similar the major mode versions of those pieces sounded to the originals.
