I find this interesting. Mainly because, I've been trying to implement similiar strategy on my daily works to fight off low productivity hours and really figure out where all my time is going. One of the things I've been doing is noting down the time and date when I set to do things. Seeing something similar presented in the post with more formal and clean approach made me happy - as in being on the right track.

But than again, there was TED talk of all this organization is ultimately shifting the energy from actual. Which led me reducing number of 'productivity' application and sticking with a few.

i am curious what your allergy is to mj? have you tried other forms of it like edibles or the higher in CBD tinctures or products? or if edibles weren't an option have you tried vaping or smoking? Not saying you should try it but I am curious how your allergy manifested and what you actually tried before you came to that conclusion.
I really don't see the value of using Bitcoin as a currency either. The transaction fees are absolutely ridiculous and confirmations take hours, sometimes days. I bought some a long time ago and was trying to move them around a couple weeks ago and it was an absolute nightmare.
>I don't follow your logic there, care to elaborate? Banning is done by Apple; legality is determined by courts, based on laws. Has any of these apps ruled illegal by court? Of course not. As I already wrote, company policies are not 1:1 map to laws, there's much more that goes into them, especially things like business interests and partnerships, but also things like ideology or subjective moral judgement.<

This is literally the third line of the article: "We have been notified by the Ministry of Public Security that a number of voice over internet protocol apps do not comply with local law. Therefore these apps have been removed from the app store in China."

>You can't be serious. So your grandmother is going to found a company, then get a DUNS number, so she can sideload an app?<

You said you can't side-load apps and that's the proof that you can. This is how companies deploy apps that are not on the App Store. And this has nothing to do with grandparents, it's two separate things. I remain unconvinced that it's easier to sideload an app from dubious sources than downloading from a sanctioned App Store.

>The second link says exactly nothing about sideloading. On contrary, it has big Apple Store button.<

The App Store is the official way to get into the Cardiaogram program. You can join the mRhythm study which is not offered on the App Store. They send you an email link and you tap on the link. Then you download the profile and the app. And that's how you sideload apps.

So I've provided 2 real-life examples of how side-loading is done on iOS.

>You don't seem to understand, that curated marketplace and sideloading are not mutually exclusive. Those, who want that marketplace, can choose from curated selection. Those, who want to sideload, can. In your model, where the curation is enforced on everyone, it is being turned into control for what's allowed and what is not.<

I agree that in an ideal world, having both a curated marketplace/walled garden and the option to sideload would be good. In practice, the closest to this idealized model is actually iOS and not Android, because Android even in its most "official" form is sponsored by a company whose business is to spy on its users (refer to earlier citation about being busted by Quartz). We can keep arguing in circles about "open source" and "code audits" but Ken Thompson pretty much shut that down with his Turing award lecture. [1] As of a few days ago, Google has consistently been shown to be untrustworthy.

Any arguments comparing Capitalism, Socialism, Communism from one country to the next are generally fallible due to the inherent corruption within the top layers of any of the 'systems'.

Capitalism can work with appropriate safeguards - which are often based on the ideals of socialism.

Communism appears to be working for China as per its growing worldwide influence, but the worldwide influence it has gained appears to be based on strong capitalist ideals, externally at least.

The answer lies somewhere in-between. As it always does.
Utterly amazing, but why did you not develop this as a VST? It's of little use to musicians otherwise. If you are planning on a VST in the near future, count me as extremely excited!

It's likely that engineering a lifestyle that does not result in eating TV dinners is healthier. Sure, it's getting cause-and-effect backwards, but I'm certain there is something there... :)
We use this to generate the NYTimes Crossword PDFs. I'd say the API is a little wonky (there are several different methods just for writing text) but it gets the job done. I wish it supported font compression though. We have to pipe the PDFs through ghostscript to get them back to a reasonable size.
Don’t give into defeatism or learned helplessness. Fight back by calling representatives and hounding the FCC. This is just the beginning and requires perpetual vigilance.
You're arguing against a straw man. If she felt she was worth more than the salary she was offered, she shouldn't have accepted it in the first place. Simple as that.
I'm assuming you disagree with the conclusions of the studies cited for the number of deaths caused by the FDA? Any particular reason?
Kind of makes actual democracy obsolete I suppose; we seemingly now require technocratic governance and do not require attention towards other public sentiment outside of technical/legal analysis. I get this perspective, but I think it's very exclusionary and dismissive.

Limiting input to that which addresses procedural questions or point-of-order effectively narrows conversation so that other perspectives outside of that window is made irrelevant.

Effectively pushing the public out of policymaking. (Good riddance to all that white noise!)
When you arrive as a refugee, you are effectively treated as a prisoner. You are not allowed to move freely, you are not allowed to earn money, you often can't even cook for yourself. People who arrive in such situations are usually stuck in these places for years. It's a totally dehumanising existence.

I don't know if it is intended that way, like a deterrent, but it sure seems like a punishment. These people were just trying to leave the hell of their home countries and find something better for their families. Often the horrors they are fleeing are a consequence of the former meddlings of actors from Western states. And look at how we in the West treat them when they come as a final resort.

Thanks so much really appreciate your support! I experimented with an ios style parallax effect on the background stars but found that the library really used a lot of memory so I removed it for the time being. It looked super cool though so I'm going to try and write it myself in the near future. I'm also really interested in animations for the stars and a swirling nebula. My animation abilities are almost non-existent right now, but it's something I want to work on asap.
That clock widget is super cool, Ive got a lot of features in the Todo list ATM but a widget is on the radar eventually too :). Really appreciate the feedback

I don't think the comparison is to the service industry, but rather to other in demand jobs that require the same level of education and don't get pushed into some kind of massive grind based on artificial deadlines.

If you get into software because you love the work, but then find out at this particular company, their goal is to make the work more boring and predictable than accounting. Only they also decide that you have to do this boring stuff for 50+ hours a week in order to meet whatever deadline they told their executives, you'd probably think about a different field as well.

It really depends on the company, on the freedom you get to do your job, and the kinds of problems you are allowed to work on. And the choices many people are given is to either work at an established company where all of the interesting work is locked up by the Senior people who will never leave, or work at a "scrappy" startup that doesn't have the budget to hire a reasonable number of people, doesn't know how to make a realistic timeline, and may not be there in a few years. It's possible to find a job or company with the right mix, but if you don't luck into one of those, the industry really can feel like a mug's game.

I've never once been able to successfully deploy Lenny (or other equivalents such as the Jolly Roger Telephone Company) against a spam call. The calls are always from a recording, not a person, and after I put them through to Lenny (which is an annoyingly long process on an Android phone -- press add call, unlock phone, select Lenny, hit "call", wait, hit "merge", then mute myself) they always just hang up pretty quickly. Anyone have any idea if there's some way I could be using it better? Press a key to get through to a person, maybe, and then deploy Lenny?
That's very kind of you, thank you :). I didn't think anyone would notice the testimonials.
You might have a point on a longer time scale. This is three weeks. She likely hadn't even gotten her first pay check. Her market value did not change that much in three weeks.
Yes and no. Back in the 80s you could do a game on your own, from scratch, and it was not completely awful there was a good chance you could get a publisher - if that were not the case how would so many crappy titles find their way to the market back then? Sim City was one person's game. Another World was basically the work of Eric Chahi. And examples like that abound - leading to major commercial success. In 2017, sure, there are still folks doing games mostly alone, but it's rather small teams than anything else, even for indies. It's easier to publish things nowadays, but there's way more competition too.

> That market is nothing like todays.

Of course it's not. That was not the point of my comment at all.
From a quick browse/research, I don't see anyone in NZ using that definition of poverty.
I see "below 60% of the median income", I see "Poverty should be defined as a situation where: a person or family lacks the material
resources to meet their minimal needs as recognised by most New Zealanders." (https://maxim.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/2.Temp-Pover...), but not that.
I meant legally they can't. They'd be sued and defeated in court. But not if Net Neutrality rules are undone.
This is potentially a great idea. It doesn't necessarily have to be a github feature. It could be a third party platform, kind of a Patreon or Kickstarter for open source bugs.

But I think the platform would need to be scalable in some way. Maybe no one will fix it for your $100, but maybe if the bounty were crowd funded, it would get fixed when the bounty got high enough to be worthwhile for the amount of time and effort involved.

When I was an active participant on Cyburbia, the site owner was paying for hosting out of pocket and he was resistant to commercializing it and was equally resistant to taking donations. He talked about commercialization as "becoming a sellout" and taking donations as "I don't want to do a PBS style begathon annually." He worked for the government and seemed just unable to wrap his head around good monetization.

People would complain that the site was slow and kludgey. As it got more popular, the level of hosting service he could afford was not really meeting demand. He would crab at complainers that they needed to be more appreciative of the free service that he was paying for out of pocket and make it clear he could not afford more.

I felt there was an obvious solution: Post a page saying it takes $x to cover better hosting for a year. I can't afford that out of pocket. If you want to see site performance improve, kick in a few bucks. When it hits $y, I will upgrade the hosting service. Then point people to that page when they complained.

I see a lot of potential for your idea. It could be a means to turn complaints into a money stream to help improve open source without victimizing contributors.

As someone who did a lot of volunteer work over the years, I came to resent the idea that I should do everything for free. If we value this stuff, we should be willing to pay people to work on it. Finding a means to do so even though it is voluntary can be challenging, but shouldn't be show stopping. We just have to be creative.
Given the fact that "she" is completely anonymous in this case, no one is judging a person, we're judging the situation as described. Get off your high horse.

No - they don't.

ICO 'Coins' give you ownership of a made up number - nothing more.
Not necessarily true in the USA. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Secrecy_Act#Affected_tran... for example. I can only imagine how suspiciously any normal bank would generally treat a customer that walks in and tries to withdraw, say $50,000 in cash, for example.

Each to their own of course but it seems to me, there's better places for all of that. If there's logic or design that's complicated and not properly commented or documented, then that's worth doing and sharing with the team.

Work done for the day for me is typically captured in commits or bug updates - that way my colleagues can easily take over if I win the lottery or are suddenly taken ill.

And stuff I learn is learned, so I don't need to write that down :-)

Working in a team, shared information is critical and logbooks just aren't the best way to achieve that.
Or use one of the systems that is already well-established. Here's just a few.

WxWidgets [0], bindings in: Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, C++, C#, and others.

Qt [1], bindings in: JS, Python, C++, and others. Also has QML to make things easier.

Tk [2], bindings in just about everything. Included in most Python distributions.

Kivy [3], Python only.

Java/FX [4] Java and other JVM languages.

If your main problem is the duplication effort between the web and an application: Qt is the simple path. Qt includes WebKit. Everything Electron can do, Qt can do, but faster and smaller.

Not by everybody in New Zealand: see the definition at the New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services: 60% of the median household disposable income after housing costs. Based on that definition, the poverty rate in 1984 was 9%, rose to 22% in 2004, rose even more in the global recession, and has fallen since to 15% in 2016. See their site "Facts about Poverty in New Zealand" http://nzccss.org.nz/work/poverty/facts-about-poverty/

Note that I am an American who found that site after one DDG search, and have no idea whether it's full of BS or fully factual. The incomes they state for the poverty line (after housing), based on current exchange rates, were about 20K for a family of 4 (2 adults) and 14K for a one parent, one child household.

I find writing documentation as I go to be a particularly good form of this. I start before I fully understand how I'm going to solve something, and only check the documentation in once it's correct.
It depends. Mobile data is far, far cheaper in the UK and France. I can’t speak for cable/DSL internet pricing but wouldn’t doubt that it’s also a better deal. Australia has insane internet pricing.

And what incentive do collective groups have to do that? I struggle to understand why people would act against their own self-interests to undermine their own rights and pay. Did you know that global wage growth is being outstripped by inflation?

What good does crippling unions do? You think it's useful for large portions of the community to be on stifled wages and bad working conditions?

Unions are less powerful in the US because the US has a broken system where those with money have more votes than those with less? There is a financial interest in having the
"mere peons" on less cash because it results in a better balance sheet situation for executives and share holders, resulting in better EOY dividends and better bonuses.

I support Unions because of people like you, because for some fucking unknown reason, people like you believe that some are entitled to less because they are employed in xxxx profession or don't have xxxx degree.

The fundamental problem is that unions are REQUIRED, if there was a bigger sense of social responsibilty, people would get paid decent living wages and wouldn't be worked in horrendously dangerous conditions dealing with power brokers whose only interest is their own portfolio value.

Please, get away from the trickle down economics bullshit and come back to the real world. How much evidence of corporate malfeasance do you have to see on a daily basis before realising that protecting the rights of the 99% is not only a good economic decision, but also a humane one.
It's either perfectly consistent if you go minute by minute, or consistency goes out the window without any murder.

1978: Some matter and energy materializes. It appears to be a human being. Where did it come from? It's impossible to tell; it has no past as far as we're concerned.

1978: Oh my god, the mystery human has just killed another human. They look kind of alike, I guess.

1978: The mystery human is now in prison; its lack of citizenship or identity ("yeah, born in 1952 my ass, you're clearly at least 50 years old") does not prevent its incarceration.

2017: Nothing of note happens. Mystery human would be eligible for parole, if he hadn't died behind bars in 1996.

TLDR;

Chatzimanolis is an insect systematist, and he is not a generalist.

He specializes in a subtribe of rove beetles called Xanthopygina.

In February 2012 Chatzimanolis was working on a revision of the Trigonopselaphus genus—a relatively small group of neotropical rove beetles contained within the Xanthopygina subtribe.

When taxonomists embark on the revision of a genus, they often discover new species. They find discrepancies:

For the revision, Chatzimanolis requested all the unspecified Trigonopselaphus material from the Natural History Museum in London.

The specimens arrived by mail in a small box. Inside the box were 24 pinned beetle specimens, all supposedly belonging to the Trigonopselaphus genus.

Among them, misidentified, was the specimen Darwin collected at Bahía Blanca in 1832.

Chatzimanolis was one of just a handful of people in the world—perhaps the only person—who could tell at a glance that the beetle was misplaced. “I was able to easily figure out that this was not Trigonopselaphus,” he says. “This is something new.” Then he realized it was a Darwin specimen.
If we're going to toss in "magically de-age by about 30 years", we might as well start talking about my other two genie wishes.
I was really disappointed when I clicked through and discovered it's not an attempt to recreate all of human history via a computer simulation.

I wouldn’t say “always.” Also, trust isn’t binary: it’s earned and varies. You usually wouldn’t give a new employee sole, unrestricted access to megadollars and you wouldn’t micromanage microtransactions of a 10 year manager. Delegate with risk management, e.g., common-sense. If a person starts making big mistakes, then you take non-nuclear corrective actions/find out what’s going on. On the other side, if someone improves, reinforcing actions are possible.
So we burn a bunch of fat and it is cloudy all day every day?
Agreed. You can easily do meals such that there's very minimal hand washing and 95% goes through the dishwasher, and kids can do packing/unpacking from a fairly young age.

Yes, we've got the actual clothes washing (and sometimes drying) handled now, but sort/fold/iron takes SO much time, easily the biggest chore.
This sentiment occurs often, relating to VR, and I can appreciate it because I've had it as well. But there have since been moments during my experience playing VR games where there was an absolutely visceral feeling of how profound the potential is. Currently because of the early state of the tech, that feeling only occurs on fairly rare occasions when the perfect storm of comfort and perception line up to deliver the sort of experience which is the end goal.

I've seen others experience that visceral reaction as well, and generally they tend to pivot and become a bit of a believer in the tech. But we'd all be crazy to think it's temporally just around the corner. The tech hurdles are significant. But definitely not insurmountable IMO.
