There was a bunch of work on space development (as opposed to planets) in the 70s and 80s, starting with Gerard O'Neill. My favorite popular book was http://www.nss.org:8080/settlement/ColoniesInSpace/index.htm...

O'Neill was overoptimistic about launch prices coming down in the near term and about the economic case for solar power satellites and for people in space to mine the materials and build and maintain the powersats, etc. But as I remember it this community made a good case that you don't need planets to live on; with their gravity wells and atmospheres and night/day cycles they're mostly a big nuisance compared to free-space habitats built with lunar and asteroid materials.
I’m learning how to interview well and face rejection. I’m graduating this year and I’ve been rejected at the final stage from numerous “big 5” companies and some startups, and it’s hard to keep going, but I know that grit is important, so I’m learning :)

Oh. You're trolling.

Sorry for wasting my time.
There's also _totp-cli_, which also uses _pass_ as a backend. The big difference is mostly that _totp-cli_ uses a more human-friendly interface, rather than requiring machine-friendly input. It also predates pass's support for plugins.

I've noticed something similar with my phone being my primary alarm as opposed to a traditional clock or radio alarm. Having more dynamic control over my tools has allowed me to rapidly craft and change that alarm to ensure the desired results. It seems like every time I've relied on a traditional alarm to wake me up it slowly and subconsciously becomes less and less effective. Once I've built up a certain "tolerance" to the sound of said alarm I'll hit snooze or turn it off altogether while still mostly, if not fully, asleep.

That said, the only sure fire method I've come up with to ensure a traditional alarm does the trick is to set the alarm across the room. This guarantees that I have to remove myself from bed, walk across the room, and then disable or snooze the alarm each time I choose not to wake up for good. In this "sure fire" case it's obvious to me that the tool itself is not sufficient and I've had to build extra steps into the process to ensure it helps me achieve my goals.
Yeah I think they would do it anyway, regardless of Windows cost. What's interesting is that so far, they don't when it comes to Linux installations. Not that there is that much crapware they can actually install for Linux, but they could potentially bundle Chrome and stuff like that if they really wanted.
I'm pretty sure the parent is referring to the POTUS stepping in and demanding certain behavior of both the players and owners. You'd think he had bigger problems to demand his rather limited attention.
There are very few perfectly anonymous Internet users left, so that makes you a member of a quite elite group. Thus, you have become identifiable by your extensive efforts to be anonymized.

It would be good to do a similar analysis of the Indian government.
AFAIK, HAXM relies on a couple proprietary Intel CPU features [1]. Though that's not to say that the folks at AMD couldn't be inspired by the code in this repo and, coupled with their own proprietary extensions, duplicate much of the same functionality.

We don’t really have to bring the US into this, do we?
How is China learning this from the US? Chinese manipulation of social media is well known to be vast and incredibly coordinated. There just isn't evidence that the US government is engaged in anything approaching the Chinese scale.

Sure we have tremendous surveillance capabilities, but we use them to detect criminal and terroristic behavior, not to police thought crime in the same way that China does. Don't be silly.

It's so fashionable for pseudo-intellectuals to adopt a cynicism-all-the-time mentality, especially about America, but it's really just lazy thinking.
Ok this makes sense. So the way we do this with Nebula + the dependency locking plugin is that we specify a version constraint for each dependency. Typically that would be something like latest.release for internal dependencies, major.+ for important 3rd party dependencies like guava, and potentially a specific version number for less important 3rd party dependencies.

Re-generating the lock file would pull the latest versions that satisfy the constraints. That lock file is not supposed to be edited manually.

I'd really like to see non-US residents putting money into real estate pay a huge tax, to discourage purchase of condos and single family homes. There's no reason, to purchase these items and leave them empty, as a hedge against whatever is going on in their country. I'm not exactly sure where to draw the line, but if you send a kid to the US for school, and they live in your condo/house, that's fine. But, do we want speculators from outside the country purchasing and leasing back to US residents? Seems like a bad recipe.

If kept consistently refrigerated in low light chemicals can last a long time (years). However because you only get one shot at developing a roll it's more comforting to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. I stopped shooting B&W for a long time and then used some chemicals that were in the fridge more than 5 years and the results were fine– any effect it may have had on the sharpness or contrast weren't noticeable. Photography stores may even sell you expired film and chemicals at a discount because they are riskier but often usable.
The authors are overstating their case when they assume that why the 50 cent party posters are not engaging in discussion must be a result of an intentional Chinese government strategy. The moniker "50 cent party" comes from the idea that the members make 50 cents for each post they make. They aren't really making 50 cents per post, but if they are operating in a system which incentivizes them to make more posts, then they are not going to engage in discussion because that takes too much time. To get a higher post count it is easier to spam cheerleading posts that would be appropriate in any discussion context. The more simple explanation for the observed behavior is human nature rather than an intentional Chinese government strategy.
Machiavelli is one of the most wrongly maligned thinkers in history. Reading all of his works, especially if read in the order he wrote them, and with an understanding of the context in which he wrote them, makes it obvious (at least to me) that he thought the best sort of government was the republic.

The damage done to his reputation by foreign writers (especially the English) is probably irreparable, though. It makes for a sad case study in intellectual prejudice.

Your comment really resonates with me. Have you found a way to balance this? I counsel others that they should focus on prioritizing the infinite task list and working on the stuff that's going to make a difference, but it feels like a tough thing to track no matter what. Any tips?
I'm not convinced he knows that.

Quoting https://www.thedailybeast.com/peter-thiel-funds-unethical-of... :

"Thiel has been a vocal critic of the FDA, claiming in an interview that its approval process was so unwieldy "you would not be able to invent the polio vaccine today.”"

If he does know, he's not letting his other investors know. From the same link:

""This is a test case,” said Bartley Madden, a retired Credit Suisse banker and policy adviser to the conservative Heartland Institute, who is another investor in the vaccine. “The FDA is standing in the way, and Americans are going to hear about this and demand action.""

In any case, the FDA head is Scott Gottlieb. Gottlieb's history sounds like he thinks that the FDA is overcautious. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/donald-trump-vs-the-fda-be-... .

If your mindset is "move fast and break things" then go ahead and sell an effective anti-nausea pill - what's the chance of getting another Thalidomide? Structure the company so you can get the profits without the liability.

Or, if you think the FDA will weaken its protections, then there's profit to be made.

And for some people, if you don't sometimes get a yellow card (metaphorically speaking), you aren't trying hard enough.

_EDIT_:

http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2017/11/14/not... says :

"Back in April, Halford and his associates press-released an investment in Rational Vaccines by Peter Thiel’s investment fund. That has generated a lot of headlines about “Peter Thiel funds illegal human trial!” and so on, but (as much as I’m skeptical about his pharma ideas), this coverage is unfair. The investment occurred after the offshore trial had already taken place, and in fact, Thiel’s people insisted that further work on the vaccine be done in a more, well, rational manner.
The study that was cited by the article doesn't mention whether people with liberal arts degrees are employable - just people with "social skills".
Which makes me wonder how much of the incompatible changes that triggered the python 3000 change could have been introduced gradually. I mean 10 years could have been a long time to introduce small breaking changes one from future import at a time...
That's a good point, but I think it's reasonable to say that the frequency at which planets are similar to Earth is high. Non-tidally locked, geologically active, high-water-content, with enough gravity to trap oxygen/CO2 but not hydrogen/helium, and within a certain distance from a star based on its output planets can't be that uncommon. I'm pretty sure Venus actually fits all those requirements - which isn't to say that there is life on Venus, just that superficially most of what we consider "the requirements" are there. In fact Mars fits all those requirements too, aside from geological activity.

We can't know how probable life is given similar conditions to Earth because our sample size is too small. But there are definitely a lot of Earth-like planets out there.
I'm a big fan of Foucault's conception of power.

I think Machiavelli is commonly misunderstood by most people alive today, though. The bulk of The Prince consists of positive statements, not normative ones. In other words, Machiavelli is describing his conclusions from observing a number of powerful families. He makes few value judgments of his own, but rather the book is framed as a set of tactical advice: "If you seek power, these are a set of strategies that will help you attain it." At the time he wrote The Prince, Machiavelli was not particularly powerful - in fact, he'd just been stripped of office, imprisoned, and tortured, and the book was an attempt to curry favor with the Medicis, the new Florentine elites. It was largely successful in this regard, in that Machiavelli was allowed to live out the rest of his life on his estate without further interference.

"It is better to be feared than loved", as a factual statement, appears to be true. Take a look at the approval ratings for U.S. Congress, President Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Mugabe, or any other powerful figure and then tell me, with a straight face, that they are loved. People take offense because Machiavelli is describing true statements that we wish were not true, i.e. they judge the work on normative grounds when evidence from the framing & history of The Prince suggests that it was written as a set of positive statements.
It's a bunch of smaller things, but I think the major one is the new compact dict implementation. Using less memory is a good thing and you basically get it for free using Python3.

At the same time, I feel that a boss should not be able to deprive someone of their livelihood on a whim. I feel there should be an actual reason why the person is being fired.
Last year I wrote a report on IoT for an info sec and crypto undergrad class, where I covered the usual flaws and explained why that’s a worrying standard for an industry that’s about to scale up massively.

The professor‘s response “this is just like all of those internet hit pieces”. Hmmmmm.
Every interaction is a value proposition.

Think about being at a party that you hosted and 15 people are talking to you. You intrinsically will only hear those with the highest value proposition, a cute girl, an investor you invited, your friend. You might not be making a concious effort but your brain is.

Now if most interactions are value propositions from one party to another then it makes sense that your personal behavior will reflect your own power dynamics in order to increase your own value proposition to the other party. This includes things such as body language.

For years and years no one cared about this stuff, now its all coming out of the woodwork as a terrible thing to practice when its been practiced for years and written about by Machiavelli and Robert Greene.
I think this analysis vastly understates the quantity and magnitude of common interests that people often have, and thus reaches the flawed conclusion that everything is about power dynamics.

Power dynamics are very important, but they don't dwarf _all_ other dynamics in human relations.
The juicy bit:

In August, a Github contributor called “3esmit” recommended a code change that initWallet should be called when being deployed which at the time was considered a convenience enhancement. Thus, we committed this proposed enhancement to the library contract that would automatically initialize it by calling initWallet on construction. Interpreting the recommendation as enhancement, the changed code was to be deployed in a regular update at a future point in time.

Someone noticed and mentioned the issue in August, but it wasn't considered critical and thus not fixed for the already deployed contract.

Service Workers Break the Browser’s Refresh Button by Default; Here’s Why
Without a legal system, what other form of recourse do you have?

Obviously, murder is a very serious form of retaliation, but with no path for de-escalation (a trial, a judgement by a religious, or community elder - or a feudal warlord), eye-for-an-eye will eventually reach that point. Let's not forget that most cultures, including ours, prefer, or at least tolerate revenge over turn-the-other-cheek. It's why it's so easy to treat criminals as subhuman - those that have done wrong have to be punished.

Most people see themselves as the heroes in their life story. When I harm Bob, and Bob escalates, and harms me back, I won't see it as just desserts - I see it as Bob harming me, context be damned. I will retaliate. (And so will he.)
Had the same idea with issuing the sqlite query directly from python. Unfortunately the browser has to be closed in that case, so I just copied the sqlite "History" file to temp location: https://github.com/davidgengenbach/chrome_history
For any non-trivial project, most of the value of Python is the library ecosystem. So most of the 'carrots' are going to be libraries that are only available on Python 3. Like some future version of numpy, or pandas, or Django.

It's not a stick. You can keep using the old version if you prefer. There will just be some nice new features for people on Python 3.

They have the data, yes. But they will ruin society before having any idea on how to use it.

Most importantly. They can not correlate that with my IP or my browsing history. So that information is beyond useless when trying to track me and only slightly useful for researching the society in which I grew up (which facebook isn't interested in anyway).
Django has not dropped Python2 yet. Django 2.0 will drop Python2 but that has not yet been released, and Django 1.11 (with Python2) support will be supported in LTS for several years.

Capitalism Has a Problem. Is Free Money the Answer?
Would love to hear some comments on finding a sweet spot between ideas with relatively low risk and relatively low reward and ideas with high risk and high reward. What is worth to pursue? Should this choice be influenced by how experienced one is with starting a business?
Where risk is obviously influenced by many factors and up to interpretation.

How was this for you? Were you confident of beating the risks (e.g. market fit, technical expertise, funding, ...) when you started your business?
Nobody else has a problem with new tab? Really?
I used to have a (local) html page as new tab. Guess what? They disabled this option a year ago. Ok, a nice person created an addon to recreate this option. It's called "new tab override". There is a version of this addon for firefox 57. But firefox doesn't allow addons to access file: urls for security reasons. So the recomendation of "new tab override" is to install a local web server. Wait a moment. I need an addon + a local web server to run a html file in new tab? Seriously?
By the way: mouse gestures don't work in new tab (nor on mozilla.org) because its a chrome-url and addons are not allowed to access chrome-urls.

Firefox 57 is really nice. But somehow it is a little pain.
> it is we have billionaires at all.

This line of thinking always makes me laugh. You don't complain when a doctors makes money by serving hundreds of patients every month right? Then, when someone builds a product/service that is used by hundreds of millions, or billions of people, the natural conclusion is that they will become millionaires and billionaires.

It's very natural, and very logical.

> we are talking about people who control more assets than some nation

How about folks who centralize powers like politicians in high level functions, who have not even been elected but appointed? How do you feel about that? They also can have massive influence on the world's affairs, even if they are not billionaires. I'd be way more concerned about that.
Oh hey, funny seeing you around here. =)

I think it could be cool to combine the circuit board and enclosure into one thing, even though that's terrible for serviceability.
The point wasn't that it was extrajudicial, she was just demonstrating that a tool instituted "for consumer protection" can, once implemented, easily be used for democratic suppression or censorship.
TechShop is closed: a brief company history
If this were true, human relationships would be a perpetual nightmare. Your fundamental mistake is assuming that what humans want (or "will") is independent (except in the perverse cases of sycophants and automatons). In fact we constantly mirror each other's desires and emotions, and this is what makes harmonious social life possible.

Yes, I have been in relationships that were "power competitions" and those relationships are dysfunctional. Fortunately those are the exception, not the rule.
I'm with you there.

The reason to bring US into discussions like this is more because it's a familiar comparison, and less of whataboutism.

When you look at something objectively, it's hard to know how sinister (or lack thereof) it is. Because most folks here live in the U.S., it makes the comparison easier.
