And this is perfectly rational! People move to a neighborhood because they like that neighborhood. This is almost tautological. Of course they don’t want it to change!

But that’s why we have to be very clear about rejecting the complaints this mood inspires. I don’t want to tell people they’re wrong to have these feelings. They are perfectly valid and normal feelings. But those feelings don’t outweigh the benefits of allowing the functional and unavoidable change that happens in neighborhoods over time.

And when you really start to dig deep into the types of things people want to do to stop this change, you end up with well-meaning, but ultimately counterproductive interventions. And that’s the nice way to say it; much of what incumbents want to do to prevent the free flow of people into and out of neighborhoods is positively dystopian.

I am sure there are reasonable things we can do to help more people afford and benefit from booming cities like Seattle, New York, and San Francisco. (For starters, we can build more housing!) But the language of gentrification is such that one new luxury tower in a sea of affordable housing is now opposed in cities like Cleveland and St. Louis on the grounds that it will change its immediate neighborhood.

That sort of stuff isn’t just nonsense; it’s harmful nonsense.
How about phones below 6"? The Nexus 6P or 5X for instance, a common use case I see is people trying to do quick things on their phone with one hand using the thumb for interacting with the screen, which if you have a phone in the 5-6" ballpark it is not easy to reach the top edges.

This is where solid design comes into play, Tinder's ease of motion and placement of control buttons makes it easy to use with a single hand which means increased usage, thus creating a habit-forming loop, this is critical to Tinder's success.
>One thing that kind of blows my mind still is how the engineers I work with (some of the best most logically discerning minds) can believe in religion.

Be like the inmates in the US who had nothing to do in their lives but lifelong learning, then studied every religion, ideology, -ism they can find and then ultimately reverted to Islam.

Understanding Islam push your logic to its limits while appreciating its limits (i.e. you cannot understand the unseen/ghaib with mind alone, you need to accept the revealed knowledge). In Islamic theology, both acceptance and understanding of the revealed knowledge (Quran and Sunnah), AND using logic to understand the theology itself, are important. Islamic theology at the basic level is easy, however once you go deeper, things get real tough to comprehend -- you need logic at its best to be able to understand.

How many people on heroin or fentanyl started on Rx Oxy?
Over-prescription of OxyContin is considered a major reason many heroin and fentanyl users became addicted. If street price of OxyContin would be lower they'd still be using that.
You could look at "green burial", a small but growing option in the US. All natural materials for the casket, no embalming, a more or less natural site for burial. You can also be buried green-ly on your own land in certain more rural/wild jurisdictions.

For non-vegetarians, it is also a shame, because rabbits are really delicious.

This makes me wonder: I saw no exemption in that article of owning rabbits for meat production, so does that mean that down under, there is no rabbit on any restaurant's menu?

Return the laptop and reiterate your demand for the ThinkPad (with preferred specs) for reasons you stated.

Reiterate your request for travelling expenses - you're an employee not an independent contractor, you shouldn't have to file separately for work related.

Explain that for a company of their size and age, you expect certain processes to be in place. If not, you're happy to wait/possibly help (e.g. by recommending a HR/Ops/Payroll shop that can set things up as short term project) to accelerate them to that point. Otherwise, you have to rethink your job with them.

I assume this is happening because you did not have any conversation about benefits during the hiring process. So, if you end up leaving, make sure this you don't skip this step in your next interviews.
Read it, and I agree.
It may be a test but having pricing power doesn't mean they're a monopoly. They have pricing power because they deliver more consumer surplus in their products than what they capture. Even in the case of the iPhone business having rising ASPs most of that has come from segmentation of the customer base into higher end models rather than simple price increases.

You don't need to have a monopoly to have pricing power, your product just needs to be differentiated enough.
The company and the family is responsible for dramatically increasing number of opioid prescriptions based on fraudulent marketing and made up evidence. A lot of people, who, as a result, got addicted to Oxy, at some point ended up switching to heroin because it's cheaper. So, the manufacturer is not responsible for all opioid deaths, but is responsible for a significant percentage of those deaths.
This led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbits_in_Australia#Biologica..., which is fascinating: it turns out that Australia has been trying to eradicate rabbits with viruses for decades. Surprising, I guess, because of how scary the same thing for humans would be.

I have lots of photos dated in future (from old camera which had bad clock) and there's no way to fix it (except to edit date on each photo).

Select the photos, click on the "more options" button (the three dots), then on Edit Date & Time. There you can change their dates, and even choose between setting a fixed datetime for all or keep the relative time differences between each other.

Disclaimer: This is not medical advice and I'm not very knowledgeable, I'm just a data and public health geek. If you believe you may have diabetes or pre-diabetes, contact a doctor.

Yes, it's doable with over-the-counter products. You need a meter and lancet device, and then for each test, a single-use lancet insert (tiny needle) and test strip.

These are usually bundled together in a pharmacy for $25-$75. However, if you look or ask the pharmacist, there's often a 100% money back refund right in the store.

Additional test strips are $0.75-$1.75/strip in packs of 25, 50, or 100. While that sounds expensive (and for diabetics, is), for the purposes we're talking about, one could probably only test after high-carb meals and a few days of fasting readings. The included 25-50 test strips may yield enough data to act on, and if not, one more 25-50 pack probably would.

https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/what-is-a-normal... has more about when to test (basically, 1 and 2 hours after the start of a meal) and what results to expect. Feel free to ask the pharmacist to show you how to use it and interpret the results.

Important note: this feels nothing like a blood draw. It's barely noticeable at all and not anything I'd call painful. There's a depth adjustment on the lancet, so it's the tiniest imaginable prick on the side of a finger. It yields less than a drop of blood, then immediately closes, ie, no bandage or bleeding.

I did this myself as an extension of quantified self in 2012 (https://twitter.com/troyd/status/281931325471068161), just because I wanted to see the readings and the process. I did it again this year to see whether the testing process had improved (no) or my results had changed (no). Other than some puzzled pharmacists who aren't used to people buying a meter for cash, there's really nothing to it. It'll also give a tiny peek at a process that millions of people do all the time.

It's fascinating to see how one's body responds, particularly to meals that aren't obviously unhealthy (and depending on the person, may not be). Some examples: sandwiches (especially on big hoagie/grinder-style refined bread), burritos (tortilla+rice+beans), any meals with 2 significant sources of carbs (sandwich with fries or potato, breakfast with toast and hash browns, etc), and pasta. These aren't inherently unhealthy, but they all significantly raise blood glucose, and the only way to see how much is to test. More on "glycemic load": https://www.google.com/search?q=glycemic+load
There absolutely are grounds to hold the manufacturer accountable. As the article mentions, the company marketed OxyContin as a medication supposed to be used for all kinds of ailments, almost casually. Purdue Pharmaceuticals advertised to doctors, and directly contributed to the overprescription of opioids, knowing full well the addiction potential. There are absolutely legitimate uses for OxyContin - I myself was prescribed it for a week or so after a particularly invasive knee surgery - but many many cases of pain management should have been dealt with using much tamer and less addictive treatments. In search of profits, the company influenced decisions at all parts of the prescription process that have directly led to the deaths of tens of thousands. They should be held accountable for that.

Testing instruments are widely available and affordable too due to diabetes being such a widespread disease.

I've just started using Freestyle Libre[1]. It's quite affordable even though it's not as accurate as blood measurements. It's possible to have one sensor attached for up to two weeks. This should be enough time to assess your body's reaction to carbs.

I don't know how you would test for pre-diabetes but to test for diabetes you can basically just drink a lot of sugar-water and see what your blood does. There are levels you can't reach unless you're diabetic.

Personally I've switched to a mostly carb-free diet because managing sugar levels is much easier that way.

Ask Me Anything about securing WordPress websites from hacks and malware attacks
Zamenhof's complete works have been gathered and published by a Japanese Esperantist, though I cannot recall his name at the moment – it has been many years since I did anything with Esperanto. Zamenhof's own statements are all about this kind of cultural diversity eventually falling away, and humanity being united under one language (and, in his advocacy for "Homaranismo", one religion, too).

The vast majority of Esperantists have never read more than one or two brief writings from Zamenhof himself and all they know of the Esperanto movement's goals are what later publications tell them. When Esperanto organizations have been claiming for a few decades now that they care about language diversity, it is no surprise that Esperantists tend to ascribe that belief to Zamenhof too, but it is very anachronistic.

For many funded startups, they have the opposite scenario — growth that wholly depends on marketing that masks the product deficiencies. As soon as you lay off the gas, product deficiencies become apparent, so you are tempted to raise more and more money.

I'm just curious what their legal justification is for redacting those portions of the video. There must be some pretext, right? Otherwise you could sue with evidence in hand.

I may be wrong, but these days doesn't malware have a loader (which has a hook in the boot cycle at some point) and a payload (which usually poses as an innocent file tucked away on your system somewhere). Even if you wholesale recover your data and include the payload, there is no loader hooked into your newly-installed system, rendering the payload a digital bullet without a corresponding gun. As far as I'm aware, infecting your MP3s or JPEGs was more something ye olde worms did, no?

Some clients just insist for months until we finally give them what they want and they see we're not talking out of our rears. But yeah I understand all that, it's just silly to me to waste time and money doing things that will not be useful for the end-product. I guess I'll be numb to the silliness eventually...
Hey Troy,

I'm Director of Marketing for an early stage startup focused on this exact issue. Our founder's grandmother was diagnosed type 2 and he was aggravated with the pain points in the experience, along with the lack of information and tools. Then after doing research and running a health coach practice he realized the scope of the diabetes epidemic.

We're taking top notch educators and putting their knowledge in an app. We have many features to add along the way in our product map, but we're already starting to form partnerships and see value.

Company is called KingFit (https://kingfit.io). Drop me a line and I'd love to introduce you to the founders.

Pretty sure I've eaten rabbit in a restaurant in Australia, but I am sure it was wild rabbit.

I remember as a child in Australia eating a lot of rabbit. My father would hunt them and Mum's speciality was curried rabbit. I used to love it.

They really are vermin in Australia. Ever time I see a rabbit in Europe I have an almost visceral desire to kill it. Growing up in rural Australia I've seen first hamd the damage they can do if left unchecked.

Rabbits suck. I'm trying to find a good source, but it's well-known to outdoorsmen that a diet of rabbit alone is not sufficiently nutritious to sustain humans when compared to other meats.

Also, it's Australia. Rabbits got out of control because people had this hubris about managing them; they won't permit that mistake again.
I did exactly this, at least here in the US the machines are very inexpensive and even free because manufacturers make $ from the strips. So for about $30 I was able to do readings several times a day for a week. My PCP was impressed.

I think the article explains it well, jQuery scaled down in a way that Dojo couldn't. I don't think you can fairly say that either Angular or React scale down in a way to enable the sort of amateurism that jQuery provided.

That's an interesting point that I hadn't really considered. Our startup never got to that stage. We raised money, burnt through it and then had to figure out how to salvage the situation being gritty.
Yes, I see that now and yes those docs definitely need work.
You can adjust your function pointer typedefs if you like. e.g. signal(2) http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/signal.2.html

sighandler_t signal(int signum, sighandler_t handler);

can be rewritten as

typedef void sighandler_t(int);
sighandler_t *signal(int signum, sighandler_t *handler);

Sometimes you get a consistently mistranslated word, too, like "order" -> "baby" on an options page.

"Track baby shipment"

"Create new baby"

How does it compare to OpenHAB 2, other than the language (OpenHAB is written in Java)?

I'm currently running OpenHAB and it's rock solid (I have one with >2 years uptime on a BananaPI). If I want to extend it, I usually write Python scripts that either use OpenHAB HTTP API or send MQTT messages, so I've not yet felt the need to write Java code. While I'm proficient with Java, I'd have to set up a development environment.

But the OpenHAB scripting language - while very powerful - has a very steep learning curve. It's hard to work with if you don't use it all the time and you end up having to google everything single thing you want to do.

The Home Assistant community appears to be more active (about 2x) and the barrier for entry is much lower.
I'm not the biggest fan of react, but it's pretty easy to slap a single component into a project using the cdn, a single require and a single jsx file. I mean it isn't as easy as jquery, but it feels like it's in the some order of magnitude of difficulty.

There’s definitely a glut in mathematics and science PhD’s. Universities keep cutting tenure track positions and cranking out more students per professor. It doesn’t hit technology and engineering as badly, since there is a steady supply of industry jobs.

Some people make the jump from science and mathematics to industry, but it is harder.
That’s a great example.
In the article they note that epidemic opioid addiction was correlated with OxyContin prescription volume in a region.

This article isn't about Purdue, it's about the Sackler's that influence Purdue, MundiPhrama, and a number of other global pharmaceutical companies to increase their wealth while also "braiding their name" into high society.

Very good write-up from Esquire, I'm thoroughly impressed with the article.

That said, my visceral emotional response is strongly negative especially when reading the following paragraph:

>In May, a dozen lawmakers in Congress, inspired by the L.A. Times investigation, sent a bipartisan letter to the World Health Organization warning that Sackler-owned companies were preparing to flood foreign countries with legal narcotics. “Purdue began the opioid crisis that has devastated American communities,” the letter reads. “Today, Mundipharma is using many of the same deceptive and reckless practices to sell OxyContin abroad.” Significantly, the letter calls out the Sackler family by name, leaving no room for the public to wonder about the identities of the people who stood behind Mundipharma.
You're too much in-the-know. You skipped the build chain required to make this work. And if you make one mistake or do something not by the book you could easily wind up shipping the development version of React to your users (which is slower).

I think the analogy is so apt because Dojo users made the same arguments back in the day; that it really was easy if you ignore all of the parts that were not easy. They weren't wrong! But that didn't make it ideal as a scaled down solution.
