It's a made up term. Titles are suppose to be specific. I made a nice dinner yesterday myself. Guess I'm a maker too(no recipe used,original as well!)

Since they are using "maker" to describe persons that are engineering electronics related work,why not just call themselves "electronics engineer"?

Edit: seems I stepped on toes with my comment,I don't know how else to react to a term like "maker". Could have been less sarcastic but I'll eat up the downvotes and maintain what small amount of common sense I have.
People falsely assume that that standard is one of absolute scientific certainty. It is not. Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt simply means that no reasonable person would come to any other conclusion than that of guilt.

To assume that guilt beyond any reasonable doubt as an absolute, scientific and completely infallible standard demonstrates an unfamiliarity with the legal system. The system may be flawed and cases may or may prosecuted for the reasons that were mentioned but many of those reasons like available resources have little if anything to do with the standard of proof that must be brought to trial.

Individuals can be prosecuted on very paltry evidence and even convicted if reasonable people find that evidence to be sufficient.

To believe that any lower standard of proof is needed to prosecute individuals is to pander to mob mentality that just because most people want to find someone guilty means we should find them guilty.

This burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt is set in place precisely to avoid such legal lynching proceedings
You can't force Facebook to be decentralized. Quit using it, and use real decentralized social networks. The point about trust is correct though. One surely should not trust Facebook.
>>She always talks about how they teach for tests and nothing else.

That isn't exactly a bad idea, given how much of life is actually a test.
That's pretty recent.

I'm sure you're aware of stack , solves most 'dependency hell' issues. I'm not sure how much snap is maintained these days BTW, but definitely yesod is actively maintained and should have no dep issues there especially if using stack
Um, PSP implements a secure enclave capability, so no that’s not correct?
Other people could make competitors, and more importantly, people who are using Facebook could switch. It happened to MySpace. Makes a lot more sense to me than turning it into a public utility or breaking it up anyway.

Just stop using it, it really isn't that important.
I don't notice anything particularly libertarian about the last paragraph, but I appreciate that the article illustrated the complex nature of homelessness. Most media describe the homeless in sugar coated terms, presumably for fear of being viewed as cruel. I found it refreshing that this article was willing to paint a realistic portrait of homelessness. It seems to me that over-emphasizing the innocence of certain groups is often less compassionate than looking honestly at the root causes.

If this sort of realism is particular to one political ideology, sign me up.
That's a nice option, indeed, and as long as Silicon Valley insists on subsidizing the private transit desires of the upper-middle class, you should definitely take advantage of it.

But 1) you're not really paying full freight here; and 2) $20 per day round-trip is not an affordable commuting option for most Americans, anyway.

My experience trying to date women in physics and comp sci says this is mostly a crisis amongst non stem women.
One option would be to Just Do It, just break the company up along that sort of arbitrary line, and expect that that will push the Baby Faces [1] to be forced to communicate with federation protocols, which could also let others in to play too. One would imagine a condition of the breakup would be that any such federation protocol that was developed could not privilege the Baby Faces amoungst each other.

It isn't necessarily the best choice, but it is one choice. I'm not sure there's necessarily a much better one, either. It's a very big problem to try to wrap your head around.

[1]: I think you heard it here first, though I can't promise nobody else has come up with that. I haven't heard it before to my knowledge.
Same here. I kick off call scheduling via calendly. Send PDF proposal and bill via freshbooks. All done within minutes with a few days of client delay - fairly typical. Never an NDA unless they want one. Absolutely no need for this service.

You could contract different lines out to different companies. I think Tokyo does this.

At the very least, though, you could contract out the running of the whole system to a company for five years a time and let different companies compete for the contract every five years.

This isn't a panacea, but it can sometimes help if the main problem is corruption-induced inefficiency as it seems to be for most major cities in the US.
What costs? I bet the government paid for the campuses. It has an incentive to keep citizens inside their borders. Universities already charge top-dollar for admission of overseas students, so they might not make much more trading a price drop for a volume rise.
There was a time when a civilized person could sit down and write out a letter (or an essay) longhand, in ink, without making a blot of it. A few overstrike corrections were normal. I've written many Telcomp programs on an ASR33 back in the day using something like ed and thought it was great stuff.
And what the hell does it even mean to be a professional freelancer?
> What has the combination of "white", "Western" and "male" got to do with the apology? Would the CEO's voice be any less effective if it was from an equally positioned black, African female? I would hope not.

I think it’s him trying to give context; “I’m the majority sort of person in this industry, so I have unexamined biases which came into play here”, that sort of thing.

As I understand it, him posting his little conspiracy theory came hot on the heels of Wu criticising his organisation, which helps explain the rest of it. He’s essentially admitting that they have a problem, and saying that they’ll try to fix it.
Do you still sit at a desk with a keyboard and mouse, or have you set it up differently to keep your shoulders from rolling forward out of the Burmese posture?
Glad he apologized and offered to right what he wronged. I hope Naomi accepts the apology as well. That said,unless you were personally wronged by this man,please let it go and consider this whole drama history. I wish either party didn't make this about a struggle between genders and classes. Guy acted like a jerk and apologized,something any one of us can do(regardless of gender,skin color or nationality)
Facebook learned the lesson of MySpace; buy any competitor that looks like it's gaining traction. Facebook has the resources to engage in this strategy. It's going to be a lot harder to disrupt Facebook as a company than it was to disrupt MySpace. I'm not claiming this is a reason to regulate Facebook. Just that saying MySpace was disrupted is not a reason to not regulate Facebook.

I didn't see it mentioned but I wonder if young Japanese people are pushing for more room, and larger spaces. IIRC homes in Japan tend to be on the small side, at least compared to western hemisphere countries.
Think "hacker" except with the physical world.
I really like that it has SpriteKit integration but there are more practical, work-a-day framework bindings that would have sold me. The ideal world a Haskell IDE for Mac inspires is one in which I can build native macOS applications in Haskell. I hope it's on the radar.
On what part? People not having over $6750 spare each year or that being the HSAs cap?

One factor the article missed is that your vision insurance also covers the eye exam. VSP covered $180 of my most recent exam, which is more than I pay annually in premiums. Therefore, by including the entire premium in the cost of glasses with insurance, I think the article overstates its case. (One could probably argue that the exam cost is higher because of insurance, but the article didn't make that claim.)

I don’t want to give it any PageRank juice and I don’t want to call any more attention to it than is needed to explain it. This isn’t some controversial political literature, it’s a hurtful personal attack on someone who doesn’t deserve it.

I’m not asking anyone to trust my description. If anyone wants to read it for themselves, they should have little trouble finding it. I’m just not going to help them.

Shouldn’t you practice what you preach here? You say you see a pattern yet you don’t provide any links. Are we just supposed to trust your description of it?
THIS. Before Lasik, I was all about the Zenni Optical.
I think this is definitely a very interesting line of discussion for this problem.

I really like the idea of essentially forcing federation protocols to be developed. E-mail was an overwhelming success -- we should look for ways to repeat that success with other aspects.
I am really sort of tired of the articles and discussions of homelessness and "the homeless." It is very othering.

Will we ever talk about how society no longer provides affordable housing for young single adults and similar demographics?

I am so tired of these discussions and how they turn a certain segment of society into zoo animals to gawk at in a way that just reinforces the idea that there is something wrong with these people rather than something wrong with society and our policies.
That example is still explained by the simplistic model. You have a function

function setTimeout(callback, delay) { do the set timeout thing, at the right time, call callback(); }

You pass a function argument to it, but you're not calling that function, so you haven't passed the `this` argument:

setTimeout(someObject.someFn, delay)

From within setTimeout, the code gets that function and calls it without anything left of the dot

callback();

So the `this` argument gets the default value in that environment (undefined/global/window)

Calling bind on a bound function is also explained by the simplistic model:

function bind(f, o) { return function(...args) { return o::f(...args) } }

Once you partially apply the `this` argument you get a new function that calls the old function with the specified object as the `this` argument; that newly created function has its own implicit `this` argument, but it doesn't use it for anything, so it doesn't matter if you bind it.

Prototypical inheritance is also explained by the simplistic model. You call a method:

o.f()

The method is not on the object, so its looked up in its prototype chain. Lets say its found after the 2nd prototype:

[o.__proto__.f, o.__proto__.__proto__.f]

Once found its called, but left of the dot is still the original object `o` so that is what is going to become the `this` argument.

o::(o.__proto__.__proto__.f)()

To me this is simpler than any other late binding explanation I've read, for any language, ever.
CGDAEE. I like the ringing unison of the highest E. I also have a piecemeal set of strings for tensions as well, starting with what I think is a .062 for the low C, and a .010 for the high Es.
TfL is way more than just the tube so I’m guessing op used numbers that broke out just the tube.

I was under the (possibly outdated) impression that Amazon wasn't really backing Xen much anyway, so AWS changing hypervisors might not mean much to Xen anyway.

I haven't used Xen for a while, but seemed to recall that Amazon forked it way back in the 3.x days and had been doing their own incompatible thing with it since then.

Corrections welcome of course :)
I go for double high E strings. CGDAEE. The ringing unison is pleasurable to me and my hands are large enough to finger minor and major thirds easily.

When you describe what you do with a term (made up or not),that term should at the very least give your audience some idea of what you do.

Everyone is a maker. The point of a language is to communicate information,not to obscure it. Would it be a proper use of language if a programmer called himself a "writer"? After all he is writing. "programmer" or "software developer" is used to distinguish what type of writing he/she works with for a living.

Sorry if that offended you,but from my perspective,it just does not communicate the nature of their work efficiently.
While the Kaggle competitions are cool for students, 50K would be a measly amount paid to an R&D company or contractor to do such a job. I don't like the bounty approach to data science the same way I don't like it for software engineering.

I know this isn't a popular idea but any thoughts on why privatizing them is a bad idea? It works in Japan. There are at least 10 train/subway companies in Tokyo alone. JR, Tokyu, Keikyu, Keio, Odakyu, Eidan, Seibu, Tobu, Toei, Keisei and they seem to be best in class by most measures.
Except Uber/Lyft are back in Austin, and that worker run ride share didn't work.

No, I don't. I wonder why one person is made to look like she's living an extravagant lifestyle, and the other just this side of privation. I'm not a professional photographer, just an amateur - and if I did that, I wouldn't have done it by accident. I see no reason to imagine a professional would do it by accident, either. You don't take just one photo and call it good, after all. You take a lot of them, and then you sort through them to choose the ones you publish. The question I'm asking is: why choose these?

I think I'm seeing a deliberate attempt to manipulate the reader's sympathies, is what I'm saying. I don't understand what purpose that would serve, but I think it must have been done to serve some purpose, and so I wonder what purpose that was.

Facebook won't be able to buy up a distributed open-source p2p alternative.
Users can now reach out to models, ambassadors, bloggers, and more for promotions
I could imagine a four way split as follows:

Instagram
Whatsapp
Facebook the site, which is required to sell its user data to third parties (think large ad services)
Facebook the advertising service, which buys userdata & advertising space from Facebook the site and sells it to third parties.

The final two separations are not particularly likely in my opinion.
The server types concept reminds me of the NTP stratum paradigm
The headline is probably right, but we can't trust the government to regulate it either and markets seem to be broken so there really aren't good options here.
The dog ate my wife's $250 prescription lenses, so she wore her $40 backup pair from Zenni to her eye exam.

After a shitload of "oh, these aren't our lenses", they reluctantly put the glasses in their refractometer. The Zenni lenses matched the prescription perfectly.
What about developing federated protocols by 'just doing it'.
...and also extremely reluctant to date men who are shorter than they are. (Yes there are studies here too.)

Men aren't better of course, we have other impractical (but evolutionarily significant) biases, needless to say.
Sure, it's not much for well compensated contractors, but 50k can be a lot of money for some people.
A p2p alternative isn't likely to be able to compete due to the massive income generated by Facebook's advertising platform.
I know this isn't a popular idea but any thoughts on why privatizing them is a bad idea? It works in Japan.

The particular competitive business environment in the US makes it almost impossible.
For what it's worth, there's been a bunch of work around backlogs (to simplify bouncers, though if more niche IRCds wanted to incorporate it natively that'd work too). CTCP isn't great, but the simplified CTCP I-D improves things for clients. DCC I'm documenting, hoping we can replace it with something more appropriate and/or extend DCC as it currently exists in a backwards-compatible way (there's a loooot of debate and discussion on DCC in the v3 WG. once we fix up a bunch of misc protocol stuff it's definitely something we'll approach).

For sure, simplicity is better than complexity. A fair amount of the v3 work aims to simplify things that are already done in a bunch of vendor-specific ways and bring them all under one clean, well-specified roof. Always happy for extra help there :)
No, they would be forced to allow friendships to span company-wall boundaries.
Because women typically have different mating strategy -- hypergamy, which goal is to decrease the mating pool size as much as possible down to the best candidate. Men's mating strategy is polygamy which is increasing the pool size as much as possible.

In other words most women would prefer to stay alone forever rather than marry a man who they consider suboptimal.

Add to the equation the "mating standards" that are overblown by Hollywood and social media and the picture of dating market becomes even darker.

I believe this exact mechanism (also aggravated by social media) is responsible for the decline of fertility rate below the reproduction level in countries with well educated population.
Quality absolutely sucks. I live in a fairly new home and walls are paper thin. In the winter, inside feels colder than outside. I am told even newer homes are better buil. I think the issue can be attributed to multiple causes:

1. Culture. Japanese don't like to sell or buy second hand. New cars, new homes, new everything any time they can afford it.

2. Build quality is garbage. The culture of tare downs does not promote better bulding quality so most just go with the old tried and tested approaches.

3. Too many architects and construction workers. I believe the jobs market is pushing for heavy marketing of new construction. People are being sold on earthquake safety standards but really, all those people need to earn a living somehow.
Hi! This isn't exactly what you asked for, but our Invisible College informally helps connect peers doing independent work. Sometimes we organize video checkins. Eventually we're going to create a method for cohorts of independent workers to form. These cohorts can support each other over time with checkins to counter that loneliness of independent work.

You'd need some kind of long term planning guidance behind that though because anything beyond the most surface level changes or additions to the system is going to take longer than 5 years and what contracting company is going sink millions of dollars into a system they're only guaranteed to be running for the next couple years?

Try flying a drone next to a major governmental building. In the best case, you'll be politely ordered to stop and leave. In worse cases, e.g. if you tried to conceal yourself, the drone might be shot down, and you face charges.
Actually both journalists and media are regulated.
Perhaps you should address specifics of why regulation is not required in this case, rather than attack the messenger?

I believe it works because it was already a good system before being privatized. Most of the cost of building the system and making it work well was done when it was private. Even now the best system in Tokyo, Tokyo Metro, is a joint venture by two different governments
Anyone know of any programs, tools, best practices, whatever for trying to improve this in areas that are being left behind?
For example, the sponsor pays $1,000 for 1 month of sponsorship. The developers gets 40% of that ($400). The remainder ($600) goes into building Code Sponsor.

Understand that this has been a side project since day one. I have not taken any distributions at all.

The split used to be 50/50, however I could not sustain myself with that split and still keep the CPA low for our sponsors. We are now setting a minimum CPC for all new sponsors to $1.50+. This means that the developer will get $0.60/click.

Finally, part of the 60% goes into the server costs and fraud prevention. We run every click through vigorous fraud detection prior to marking it as “payable”. By doing so, we provide much higher quality clicks to the sponsors. This makes them scale their funds. Remember, we are working with marketing funds, not sponsorship funds.
Not necessarily. For instance, Facebook still can't get rid of email.
The problem isn't the tools, the problem is human nature. The way we select mates just doesn't work the way we tell ourselves it does, and the reality is that vary many people will never be compatible with anyone.

In the past, and in other cultures, this is solved by significant social pressure forcing people together.
The computer doesn't always know what's right
This may be a dumb question....I recently had my eye checkup at Costco and they said I could get by with reading glasses for now, but if it's not too expensive I wouldn't mind getting a pair of progressives - does that require a more in-depth test or can I just use the number they gave me from the exam? (It was about 6 months ago, so perhaps I should go get another exam? And let them know I'm thinking of getting progressives? I know nothing about it.)
