Being predictable isn't necessarily a bad thing in storytelling. Being completely predictable is boring, so is being completely random and good stories have to find a balance. At a high level you probably know how every movie is going to end from the onset but that doesn't make them boring. There are a lot of uninteresting tales of heroism but it's not because you know that the hero is going to ultimately prevail.
That must be a very poor country where the 71 year old still have to work... /Sarcasm

But more seriously, if life expectancy increases, but we still suffer the same 'elderly' conditions as humans always have, there is a problem.

It achieves a weaker level of privacy than cash's. Hiding transactions from the public at large is necessary, but not sufficient, to hide transactions from the government.

Can you show an instance where the FTC has actually
done this in practice? Currently, Joseph Simons, a long-time corporate anti-trust lawyer heads the FTC. We can expect a light touch from them for the time being. Removing a protection that has been respected either formally or informally since the inception or Arpanet would radically change the face of the internet regardless of how you slice it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Preventing misbehavior by regulating the industry saves both time and energy on the parts of consumers as well as corporations.
I separate my clothes. I separate some because I’m going to hang them and it’s easier to separate while dry. I separate others because they have wildly different levels of durability and ruggedness. I don’t want my jeans abraiding my button ups.
I wonder why you feel that singular they is informal? There's nothing wrong with the construction. It's attested as far back as 14th century. And, as you mention, it certainly fills a void in the language.

At around 8:30 in the video you can see the iPhone has more than double single-core performance, and almost double multi-core.
That's why I have avoided working for huge companies so far. The pros of working for big company (including the Government which for this purpose is the same) are the benefits are usually pretty good, and if you're going to do decent job you probably will have decent job security - unless somebody 5 levels up decides to close your whole subdivision, in which case you're out no matter what. The cons are you are not even close to where the decisions are made, have very little chance to influence anything substantial and can spend years perfecting formatting on TPS reports without even knowing whether somebody ever looks at them.

I would suggest people feeling the upsides of nice paycheck do not cover the downsides of being a corporate drone try to explore smaller company scene. Maybe not fresh-baked startups (too risky unless you have good cash cushion or so young that expanding your resume is worth it anyway) but ones that are already established but still did not develop to Facebook/Google sizes.
I have no interest in 3D that requires me to wear glasses. Couldn't they do the same thing with contact lenses?

No. You need to focus only on the TV screen. The camera operator focuses on the scene for you.

It may be that as you look from the foreground trooper to the out of focus background troopers your brain attempts to refocus but fails, which feels funny. But if the camera operator and editor correctly anticipate your attention and focus on the right thing, you don't need to refocus or re-verge.

I've never heard this before. Why? What is it they need from it?
Is this a US thing? I mean, talking about your job with your relatives and closed-ones. I'm asking because as an European I don't talk that much about my job whenever I visit my parents (in fact, I barely mention it, as in reassuring my mom that yes, my boss still likes me and that I'm not going to be out of a job anytime soon), and whenever I meet my other relatives (which is pretty rare, we don't care about each other) I never mention it at all.

Back to my discussions with my parents, we always end up talking about national politics and the international situation, I thought that was a thing that people do world-wide whenever they meet with their closed ones around a table, eating.
The FCC says that they will allow the FTC to crack down on any anti-competitive practices. Now we need to hold them to that.
The habeas relief talked about here is not about a criminal prosecution, so your predicate doesn't seem to hold in the first place. Secondly, there's an established protocol for interviewing people detained in a war zone and mirandizing etc (See e.g. the current prosecution of Abu Khattala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Abu_Khattala , who got mirandized only after intelligence interviews etc., by a clean team.). Simplifying you can interview people before mirandizing, you just can't use it in front of court.

FWIW, so far the civil courts have a way higher success ratio than the absurd military courts system. It's not that hard to convict people on the basis of material support charges etc.
NZ runs a proportional representation election system and since we had our election 2 months ago it would seem that 52% of NZers have chosen to temper the neoliberal flights of fancy.

Good? Bad? I dunno but you're in 'culture' territory here so be careful with your comments - NZers live on a giant farm and we have hungry kids underperforming in schools/employment and our beautiful rivers chock full of literal crap. Lot's of Kiwis are very unhappy about _any_ system that thinks this is an acceptable tradeoff for unevenly distributed $$.

It seems to me that the one of the challenges in reaching that pinnacle was adequately quarantining browser-hosted code from local resources and capabilities. But frameworks like Electron are designed to expose the latter to the former, otherwise they’d just be WebKit in a window.
There’s also https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Watt%2CJoule&y....

That is for books and must cover mentions of both Watt’s and Joule’s name and of the unit (and, likely, way more of the names. The units typically are abbreviated), so I don’t think that proves or disproves much about wide use of the units.

The difference before 1860 probably is there because James Prescott Joule was less than a year old when James Watt died in 1819 (at the age of 83)

Edit: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=kJ%2CkWh%2Ccal... seems to support the claim that “Joule” came up relatively late.

To me, the most amazing thing about old systems was how little resources they needed to do useful work. The first version of Unix was designed to run on a machine with in 24KB (that's kilobytes) of core memory; even the famous and ubiquitous IBM System 360 was quite constrained by today's standards. "The software that controls what happens when you move your mouse on your PC — the mouse driver for Windows — takes more memory than all the NASA supercomputers put together had for Apollo," said Jones."[1]

That's right, they called them "supercomputers."

That's probably because you already have a robot that does 90% of your dish washing. A dishwasher.

But none of the loading and unloading yet, unfortunately.

Folding clothes is super hard:

I would assume that my method of dish cleaning is a linear time invariant system(because only the first few seconds are used to clean off food that I can visibly see; I spend much more time making sure I vigorously cleaned every spot of the dish) so whether I do it now or later, it's still going to cost the same amount of time.

I don’t see how time travel doesn’t violate the law of conservation of energy or conservation of mass. That seems pretty fundamental to me, so it would require converting an extremely large amount of energy into the mass that is going back in time.
You don't need that - you buy two dishwashers. then move the dirty dishes into the dirtier dishwasher and once full run a cycle, then repeat the process

Exactly. In 2D movies your eyes can focus on the screen; in 3D movies the eye tries to shift focus to different distances; this may account for the headaches that many people report after viewing 3D films.

I notice in Ebert's reviews an appreciation of films as mere entertainment in cases where is what they intend to be, and an appreciation of films as art if that is what they aspire to. In fact, one of my annoyances at his (often excellent) reviews is that he seemed to apply consciously lowered standards when he thought that a film wasn't aiming too high, which led to him recommending films that were close to mediocre, because they hit the mark they were aiming for. There is a certain integrity in this, of course.

Ebert's complaints about 3D movies were not the grumblings of an old man but largely justified: they are dimmer and usually worse than the 2D version. I've seen stunning exceptions, though: the best is an IMAX documentary called
Hubble 3D, which is the best use of 3D film I've seen and superb all around.
“Wire service”?
was there any philo-semitism in europe of the 1800s? christianity and anti-semitism go hand in hand, which is why the definition of zionism had to be reversed in the early 20th century.

you can be a christian zionist now (which is what the nazis were), can you really be a christian philo-semite? but then of course christian now means neosecular humanist.

nietzsche saw the structural problems in christianity, but he lacked the social insight into why other people depended on it.

(because nobody likes feeling guilty)

he tried to work the problem from the wrong end, controlling what people do and how they think quickly turns into socialism, fascism, communism. easing the burden of their guilt after the fact is a much more convenient solution, it's pragmatic and simple. children don't really learn what they are being taught, they learn to teach it.

machiavelli solved both fascism and marxism 300 years before either had to become a thing, the less said about the more unsavory aspects of the enlightenment the better. i deeply suspect most influential thinkers of the previous centuries had ulterior personal motives, some rather sinister when it came to the mobilization of the furies and passions of human nature.

It is not about it being "100% woman" but about "male" being the default. I think it is telling that the assumption seems to be physics -> male. If this would have been about social issues or fashion, maybe the people would have checked before assuming male gender?

You have it backward.

It seems we have laws of physics covering everything from Newtonian mechanics, relativity and quantum mechanics... Is there any law stating time travel must go one direction? Has it ever been proposed?

Would there be a way to make them without so much emphasis on age? Not that I disagree that people do stereotypically get a bit more resistant to new stuff as they get older ... including myself ... but at least for me I find that it comes from a more nuanced place than what is implied with your repeated use of age as a synonym for the doubters, the lovers of the classic, the skeptics of the new ...

Anyway, really, I don’t think your comment comes off the way you meant it. It feels a tiny bit aggressive/dismissive to me.
Types are good for more than just "int instead of string". What you consider a type related error is likely not the full set of errors a type system can prevent.
But maybe when you go back you instantaneously become you? That would close the loop. The future you had essentially ceased to exist anyway so there's no reason to go back.
Well compensated, yes. As well compensated as software developers, no.

A median software developer makes $100k [1], a median electrician makes $52k [2] and a median plumber makes $51k [3]. Some of that disparity is because of software developers being more concentrated into high COL areas, but even comparing the same metropolitan areas there is still a large disparity. For the NYC metro area, the mean wages are $114k/$79k/$76k respectively, for Chicago $99k/$80k/$80k, for LA $107k/$65k/$58k, for Dallas $107k/$43k/$43k, for DC $114k/$58k/$55k, for Atlanta $104k/$48k/$47k.

This is my recollection as well. I tried to follow it relatively closely. It was a laundry list of demands and all a bit pie in the sky. There was no specific a,b,c policy actions being requested in order to solve a single linked problem. The leaderless nature of the business made it rather toothless.

An example is http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-o... . One person posted it.

What was profoundly misunderstood by the Occupiers was that they had no leverage to negotiate with. Their sole power was being visible. That doesn't get much in the way of negotiations.

The thing that most bothered me about OWS was the disproportionate response by the police and miscellaneous conservative talking heads. Having a camp of protesters is simply something to not be bothered about except as a public health question. It's just not that big of a deal.

All that said, you can unpack the OWS complaints and produce some root causes that might be reasonably addressed. I'm given to understand that the OWS experience produced a network that in 2016 linked with Bernie Sanders' campaign, which was considerably more grounded compared to Occupy.
> The first version of Unix was designed to run on a machine with in 24KB (that's kilobytes) of core memory

The very first of UNIX actually ran on a machine that couldn't even address that much memory, the PDP-7 has 13 bit addresses so you can only address 8k words of memory directly (1 word = 18 bits). The UNIX (or rather UNICS) kernel ran in 4k and left the other 4k for a user process; every context switch was a swap!

Lots of people dislike the Blizzard app but if you like the Blizzard app or spent 5 hours beating a single Swing frame into looking like a web app with questionable typography, we probably have very different (subjective) notions of what a decent-looking app is.

What you did say is that Qt or Swing apps looking bad cannot be further from the truth. If that were the case, you should be able to rattle off dozens of beloved, beautiful, complex Qt or Swing apps. Most cross-platform UIs (including those based on Electron) look and behaves poopily. The few that don't are the result of exceptional effort and focus.
Editorialized title that omits the key role BitPay's policies played and blames this on Bitcoin's network fees. BitPay's policy of failing transactions if they don't confirm within 15 minutes has always been broken, because even if the transaction gets into the next block there's a reasonable chance (about 25%, I think) that no block will be mined within the next 15 minutes.

While I am sympathetic to this perspective, I don't think it's too much to ask that they prove it.

> Do we really expect US soldiers to be trying to mirandize people on the battle field because they might turn out to be US citizens? What about preserving the chain of evidence and securing the crime scene?

No one is saying any of that, that I can see. All that's being demanded is that now that this person is known to be a US citizen, that he be charged with a crime if he's to be held.
Microsoft was trying to get companies to write Windows software in 1986-87. At the time, it argued that developing for Windows was developing for OS/2 PM.

Borland, Ashton-Tate and Lotus refused. In late 1987, Philippe Kahn said "People are afraid Microsoft is going to take control of the operating system." [1]

Microsoft was afraid that IBM going to take control of the operating system.
