> what do the people across the table want? What do they believe is good, and what do they believe is important?

See, this is why the public sector is usually so ineffective and why it's so frustrating. The people across the table tend to jump from posting to posting, and make safe moves that are far from being the correct ones to fulfill the organization's larger goals, while cultivating political capital. Ultimately, they are motivated by the prospect of future postings and promotions, which are determined not by their performance in achieving the organization's goals but by how much political capital they have succeeded in accumulating.

There is no way to sell reform to these people, because reform involves upsetting the status quo, and upsetting the status quo costs large amounts of political capital.

Successfully leading change from the bottom in the public sector is for that rare cadre of people who are not just visionaries and cheerleaders for change, but are patient enough to spend years and decades building upon small changes that build up while not losing their patience and escaping to the private sector.

Imgix's $10 minimum is so much for a personal site with maybe 500 uniques a month. If you're going for a service like that, think of people like me who host on s3/cloudfront for $.20/month. But let people scale up to millions of pageviews a month.

Don't need anything fancy. Just w=? h=? would be great, developers can handle the DPI stuff with sourceset tags.
I believe that all data is backed up on a secure sever that Asgardia hosts. Using the cloud is what everyone has done, Asgardia has taken the step to bringing everyday people into space allowing them to send their own message into space that will remain for as long as Asgardia does.. so forever.
High DPI support is available on .NET Framework 4.7.

Do you have a source? That's a pretty bold claim, and I haven't seen anything else to back that up.
You know the iPhone has not needed iTunes for quite awhile? I'm not even sure about the last time I started iTunes on my computer. Even moving from an iPhone to a new iPhone is as simple as holding the 2 phones close together and signing in on the new phone.

iCloud also works fine with Apple devices, but can be mostly skipped. Google Photos will happily upload all the pics on the iPhone to Google pictures. The 5GB iCloud is then plenty for iPhone data backups.
At the time "early" in the proceedings, there was an attempt[1] to go through what is called Civil Rehabilitation[2] under Japanese restructuring and insolvency law, but this was denied by the Tokyo District Court handling the MtGox bankruptcy.

Fast forward now several years, perhaps this is another option on the table for another creditor willing to try again.

Chrome is not open-source. Chromium is, but Chrome is not.
For me it's the Tab Groups add-on which is just irreplaceable! Firefox's "Containers" helps a bit but not that much.
In theory, why are lawsuits after this possible? Doesn't the bankruptcy court asks all debtors to come ahead until x date and after that the court decides? I know you can sue for everything but why would they have any chance?

edit: Thanks for the asnwers. So, Karpeles will have assets and he'll have to answer for his negligence or failure to manage his corp properly. Maybe he'll file for personal bankruptcy before getting any money :)
Yes, they have these in Shanghai as well and I about shit my pants. When your face lines up correctly, even accidentally, it automatically takes the photo without warning with a loud noise and flashes a big smiley face. It struck me as having an extremely dystopian vibe.
So, dumb question (maybe), but how do you get tree style tabs to install? I'm running FF 57 but that page says it's incompatible because I'm running FF 51. I checked and the user agent string being sent is:

I am an active member of Asgardia. It has been a great project to set our sights on something greater than ourselves. This satellite is only the beginning of many great things to come.
From reading the article it sounds like it could be retitled to almost "How to get rich playing video games or die trying" but another aspect is the global scale of this thing, you can also look to see China's obsession with video-streaming to see that this isn't really a one-time trend but rather an enduring thing that will likely keep evolving into more physical interactions where streamers do more and more celebrity on-site activities rather than purely virtual.
I assume this is in reference to using the builtin macOS keychain? It syncs just fine to iOS as well if you use iCloud Keychain. That's obviously not possible with Android, but you don't necessarily need a 3rd party password manager if you're only using Apple products.
I completely understand the reasons, but the result is an application which does not feel and behave like a native macOS application. It is a lot better than all the Electron crap out there for sure, but it's still a major reason why Firefox can't replace Safari for me.
Lately I have been getting contacted by random 'women' on gtalk who 'just want to be friends'. I usually just block them but last week I decided to play along.

Long story short: they wanted me to cam with them and to see my picture. I sent them a link to non-existent page on my domain and logged their IP.
I confronted them with their IP and the fact that they were in Nigeria and not south Carolina. The account was immediately deleted.
If you like syncing files you could look into user.js for syncing config settings:

We monitor exceptions with Sentry. We store raw data so we don't have to hurry to fix the ETL, we only have to fix navigation logic and we keep crawling.

> Are you saying that for the same bandwidth usage, you could load two separate lossy JPGs and they'd look better?

The tests I've done are along the lines of this (I forget the exact numbers I used):

* JPEG: 10kB + 90kB

* FLIF: 100kB

JPEG usually wins for photographic source material. I was unable to come up with “reasonable” parameters where FLIF would win, but perhaps someone creative can figure that part out.

Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit.

I joined Asgardia because I want to make the world a better place. I believe in science and equal opportunities for women and men.

So far Asgardia has kept up with it's promise and I see no reason why it would fail to do so in the future.

Things are moving forward on a relatively rapid pace and I firmly believe it might only speed up from that.
What is your definition of social network?

Mine would be a system connecting multiple entities for the purpose of socializing... or something like that.

So I'd say yes, imo.
And coal mining and production is safe?

Nuclear has the fewest deaths per kWh, period. It's really simple. Now, the cost of bringing new ones online is prohibitive, but shutting down existing ones was really dumb.
This is exactly what I'm waiting for. The moment it's stable in a reasonable distro, I'm trying it on one of the fancy 8th gen Intel laptops with it and if everything works as expected, I'll get my first non-Mac computer in over half a decade.
I am a citizen of Asgardia, I am really proud of it, we have real talent working in our nation, this is not only a dream, this is real, there is gonna be a day where you rise your eyes to the sky and you will see us there, working for the good of the mankind.
I believe the reason IPAs are very popular is because they are very easy to make compared to other types and quite difficult to mess up.

I have been brewing my own beer for several years now and getting a lager or wheat right is very difficult. My IPAs on the other hand were all very drinkable and did not differ much from what I'd get from a craft brewery.

The parent's description isn't 100% accurate but it's accurate enough. The Apple Watch tracks every 5 minutes unless it detects an elevation in heart rate. If it detects something higher than 10 or 20 bpm, it polls more frequently. The standard, resting heart rate polling is at 5 minutes which, according to everything I've read, is more than accurate enough for most medical uses.

Mostly agree. The Salesforce employee should have been able to escalate the issue to the right people to get it solved. Simply having a Salesforce employee vouching for them should have been rejected, as it was. There are thousands of Salesforce employees at the event, not all of them should have the power to override a guards instructions. So the guard acted correctly in that way, but sounds like they took it way too far - “Your kind don’t belong in here.” WTF!?
Eye dilation and pulse response for determining patriotism!! Have you ever considered satire as a career path good sir?
I like Pugh's paper on skip lists [1], Shannon's "Mathematical Theory of Communication" [2], and these two might be a stretch but I also like Rong's "Word2vec Parameter Learning Explained" [3] and Levy & Goldberg's "Word2vec Explained" [4]. In any case use the recommended papers to learn paper reading skills e.g look at references when you don't understand a concept, find an introductory textbook to clarify a proof method, write a summary to make your understanding concrete. Good Luck!

It's a simple redis list containing JSON task. We have a custom Scrapy Spider hooked to next_request and item_scraped [1]. It check (lpop) for update/discovery tasks in the list and build a Request [2]. We only crawl max ~1 request per second, so performance is not an issue.

For every website we crawl we implement a custom discovery/update logic.

Discovery can be, for example, crawl a specific date range, seq number, postal code.... We usually seed discovery based on the actual data we have, like highest_company_number + 1000, so we get the newly registered companies.

Update is to update a single document. Like crawl document for company number 1234. We generate a Request [2] to crawl only that document.

“Nation”, as used here, appears to refer to sovereignty, which is a common rather than technical usage. For sovereignty, no territory at all is required, as demonstrated by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
I didn't have any complaints about speed. Who actually cares about browser speed? But I do care that suddenly, my browser looks completely different, half the functionality I use is missing and there is no way for me to get it back. The fact that this happened as an automatic upgrade without as much as asking me whether or not I want it to happen is not exactly a winning point either.

Edit: It seems that I was too hasty with my "who cares about speed" question. Apparently a lot of people do. I guess I just never found FF that much slower than other browsers. If it takes a second or two longer to load some page it is just not important to me.
I am an Asgardian! I am very proud of our Nation and it's goals. I actually work for Asgardia. We are not fake. We are not a joke. We are very serious and working hard towards achieving recognition. We currently have over 117,000 citizens and growing. In March our Parliament will be elected by our citizens. Not bad for being only 13 months old! I invite the people of the world to check us out an ask any Asgardian questions! Again, we are very serious about achieving our goals and launching future missions into space.
While true, any data model is susceptible to cruft, no matter what stack you use.

For complicated rules like your example use case, you can add anything you want to the client-side validation hooks. In fact, almost all data validation currently happens client-side.

It's true that you'd not be able to enforce anything particularly complex if you submit writes directly to the API, but we're planning on supporting webhook-based validation, where you register a webhook that will receive documents for approval. We've successfully used this pattern in past projects. For example, something that isn't easily expressed declaratively is Hacker News' rule that thread comments are only editable a certain amount of time after they're submitted. We, too, prefer this kind of thing to be implemented in code.

Disclosure: I work on the data store, but not on Sanity itself.
I am a single founder and married. I work much harder and more effectively with my wife around and supporting me. And I also feel much better as a person supporting her. Plus she’s really smart. If anything, being married is an especially good idea of you are a solo founder!
No, you need to stand and move around for at least 1 minute. Just standing won't do it. The point is to not be sedentary, not just to stand upright.
Except those would be upvoting it...
To be fair most everything under the hood passes through to these libraries. So even sticking with python means passing unvalidated blobs through to libpng/jpeg/tiff or some other low level language.

It's the entire reason python is generally fast enough, anything that's slow generally uses a C lib under the hood anyway.
Want to elaborate? I disagree, but I'm happy to be corrected. Anyway, what I said was that it's a historical artifact that JS has a single thread of execution, and by that I meant, "it was standard to do that at the time that JS was conceived, so that's how it was done". If you were inventing web browsers today I don't think you'd ever intentionally choose to do it that way.
URL seems completely incorrect.
Firefox extensions contain the source code anyways, find the "xpi" file, which is actually a zip file, unzip it, and explore.

Not to discourage asking for help, just that the source not being on github isn't super relevant.
I actually like the new design, the one thing that I do still miss is the elastic scrolling at the top/bottom of pages that Safari and Chrome have (and every other Mac app that you can scroll in).
Just doesn't feel like a native Mac app.
It's images... seems like a very low risk situation, especially when they are served from a CDN.

Bankruptcy is for settling debts, not judging whether someone's actions led to your financial losses. In this case, the amount of the debt was determined by the value at the time the bankruptcy trustee took control of Mt. Gox's assets. That doesn't mean Gox users haven't been harmed by being deprived of an asset that has appreciated significantly due to misconduct or fraud by Karpeles et al.
>So every package author understands each of their dependencies and all of their respective sub-dependencies, recursively on down?

Have they personally audited every dependency? Probably not. Is the list of dependencies known? Yes. Is the list fixed? Yes.

On the webpage side:

Does the content provider know what will be served by their ad network? No. Does the ad network provided content change? Yes, constantly. Does the content provider even know who ultimately will be putting crap on their web page via the ads? No.
For sure that argument can probably be made, but that's not really the point I think myself or the parent comment is making. If you follow the kind of "code is law" style rhetoric of some crytpo-currency evangelists, we can supposedly build a system that doesn't require "laws" or regulations as we know them today at all. Reality it seems often disagrees, especially when disputes inevitably arise. I'm simplifying greatly, but there's some truth to this idea in practice I think.
Aren't quality close relationships with friends and/or family the most determinant factor in a person's happiness? If most entrepreneurs feel they have to sacrifice that no wonder so many suffer from depression...
The Mozilla triage meeting in September, which covered this issue, suggests that the requested feature may land in Firefox 58: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pw5y-GHwDLPV9bYK4HWCiZts...

It looks like it's been broken down into a number of separate issues since then, and there's some discovery yet to be done on how exactly the implementation will need to proceed - I feel like Firefox 58 is very optimistic, but I also feel like saying "this is never going to happen" is pretty premature at this point. At the very least, the Firefox devs don't seem to agree.
College degrees are not merely used as a selection tool for higher skilled jobs. In many instances they are used as a basic competency filter for literacy, ability to work in an office environment, etc. Indeed, many jobs merely require "some college" as a credential, not even a degree. That alone is enough of a filter. This means that jobs that require skills that any high school graduate should have are today out of reach for those people because they've been given a sub-standard education with a degraded market value. Which means that in order to be in any way competitive in the job market, even to get an entry level office job, often requires expending additional time and money, saddling oneself with college loan debt, and so forth. Today entering the job market from the bottom is a lot more difficult and more costly than it used to be, with significant deleterious effects on career/wealth advancement through life.

Yes, exactly. Further, coal mining disasters aren't connected to the power industry that depends on them.

I think a lot of it is that leaky abstractions don't get noticed by folks with a firm understanding of what's happening under the hood, but present themselves as bugs to folks who haven't spent as much time on lower parts of the stack.

Quick summary of figures: in 2013, Germany suffered 1,860 deaths due to coal plants in Germany, 1,770 deaths due to coal plants in other countries, and German coal plants also caused 2,490 deaths in other countries.

There are probably too many significant figures on those numbers, but the general idea of "several thousand" should be more or less right.

Conference badges are often printed on-site by equipment owned by an event management company. So my guess would be that SalesForce wanted to get the badges to this group without them going through the standard conference registration process and so made them badges with supplies they had available to them - the official lanyards probably weren't ready yet (or were in the possession of the event management company) and they didn't own the thermal printers and stock used to make the official badges.
