The point is, only angry and negative people voice their opinions and positively minded people don't. If you look at threads about something else, (say economy or politics) there are typically both optimostic and pessimistic people and even some discussions between those groups.

When it comes to parenting and children, positive opinions are rarely heard.

> The app server that only talks to a short whitelisted set of RFC1918 IPs, on specific ports only, and doesn't have Internet access - not even DNS.

Problem is that this stops application level automated updating. Firewalls are all fine but unfortunately they operate at IP level, not DNS - which means good luck if the vendor's auto-update server uses stuff like Cloudflare, ELB or anything other that (more or less rapidly) changes IP addresses.
> Likely because you haven't read any of the links to cases or explanations in the thread about the history of the issue.

I have, so that's not compelling. I'm interpreting the statement in the proper context, at a practical level. We're a little far removed from the statement, so look at it again:

That argument is akin to saying "let's strip the regulations because ___ wasn't so bad before."

That's correct in context. Of course you have to start with some new (Ajit's plan isn't just remove Title II) and some pre-existing conditions. The consequences he posits are unrealistic because technical capability is different (but he won't address that). There's not much to say when opposition spokesholes starts taking a purposefully phrased metaphor literally as a premise. SMH

> Do you really think most unmarried families have both mother and father in the household, though?

Depends on the country you are in. Here in Norway, quite definitely yes.

About 26% of couples are unmarried now.
This sounds vaguely like what I've been experiencing on recent Chrome versions. On Windows I've had Chrome randomly hang... initially on the network, then after a few seconds even the UI freezes. When that happens, if I launch Firefox and try to access the network, it hangs too. But programs that don't try to access the network don't hang. Then after maybe (very roughly) 30 seconds, it all goes back to normal. No idea what's been going on but it seems like you might be experiencing a same thing, and it seems like a recent bug on Chrome versions, not a firmware issue... I'm just confused at how it affects other programs. It didn't use to be like this just a few weeks ago.
Out of all the people I know, those who seem to worry about everything they encounter were all trained in psychology or sociology.

Both are markets heavily distorted by the federal government.

That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that those "markets" are fundamentally distorted by the in-elasticity of demand. People generally need education and healthcare.

Coincidentally, that's the way almost all of the non-US world chooses to look at it.
Not for TODO items, but org-mode specifically has the RESET_CHECK_BOXES property which will reset the checkboxes when a repeating task goes back to it's start state (eg, habits). TODO items can be repeating and there is a way to make it so that a parent heading will switch to DONE when all sub-entries are done (and that parent heading can be repeating as well).

Just to add my two cents to the conversation, it's a personal call between using checkboxes versus sub-heading TODO items, but I typically use checkboxes for physical items (packing lists) or actions with a duration that is sub-minute (eg, areas of vehicle to check for weekly inspection).
> It is my understanding that "The rules Ajit Pai wants in place" were in place from sometime during the ninties or earlier, until 2015.

No. I mean, I guess the complete absence of general broadband rules prior to 2004 might be what Pai wants to return to; but 2004-2010 had a pro-neutrality approach at FCC that he courts stopped in 2010, and 2010-2014 had an approach that the courts stopped in 2014, pointing to Title II as he available basis for the sort of regulation that the FCC had pursued. 2015 saw the FCC follow the court’s guidance and base regulations in Title II.

Most of the history of the commercially-significant, publicly-used internet have been under FCC neutrality enforcement, for which the only viable basis in the wake of 2010 and 2014 court decisions is Title II, which Pai wishes to abandon.

My experience based on a few market cycles and a lot of work put into this and it is a bit contrary: do speculate in the stock market (I am trading using robots) those are the best times to make money going up, near the top, going down, etc... for me the hardest (losing years) is when the market is trying to get off the bottom... SO I can't wait for the recession, because it is a great opportunity for me personally... Besides that, having paid house and FU money is great...
I use a number of types of checklists at work. They include:

1. Printed checklists that we provide to our integrators that summarize the details we describe in our design guide (we make industrial equipment that needs to be designed into our customers physical and computer systems). These are intended for our customers to confirm the covered all the important details in our design guide.

2. We have a similar type of checklists as #1 for our dealers' technicians to follow when commissioning one of our systems. In this case, the technician needs to sign it and also get the customer to sign it (marking it complete). Plus the technician needs to submit it to us to ensure warranty coverage.

3. We have production checklists when physically assembling and testing our hardware. These require a signature from a supervisor. The purpose is to help ensure that no steps were missed. We keep these in version control with our other documentation and they are updated as we change the process/assembly or find improvements.

4. We have less formal checklists that we manage in Trello. We use them for lightweight project manager. We also save templates of some Trello checklists for reoccurring processes (think sw release todos).

I know that sounds like a lot but we try to keep things as simple as possible. We've found that checklists are easy ways to reduce mistakes and communicate progress/requirements across customers, colleagues, and partners.

Customer service isn't purely tech support.

I've called customer service because I've been burned by malfunctioning products before. I received a replacement product in addition to some financial compensation.

I'm sure that's the sort of thing legal handles, and therefore customer service must have a way of contacting legal.

I think it's beyond reasonable to expect contacting the customer-facing representatives of a company should be sufficient for almost all matters.

Data collection for sketch based wireframing recognition tool
Forget the job story, if you don't feel so bad in the morning, it means you can handle your drinking just fine.

You should mostly care about 2 things:

1. Your health: with your intake, you're hitting your liver pretty hard. So that's not too good. You're also likely overweight, which also is not great. Think about your kids...

2. Can you go without alcohol for a bit? Don't drop alcohol for life, just do some intermittent periods where you don't drink for 2 weeks. If you feel like you have a true physical addiction to it, you should see a doctor.

Xamarin, Adobe stuff. And I've found a Windows VM in a Linux host to be passable, though suboptimal. Especially because you only run it sporadically, so even though it's a VM you still have to deal with its compulsive and compulsory updating, restarting, and whatever else it does that keeps it busy for 20 minutes when it hasn't been started in a month.

Also Linux multi-screen/multi-DPI support is still bad.
Erlang has define style macros (since forever?).

R16 works with utf-8 binaries just fine. <<"Foo"/utf8>> you might need to put a preprocessor flag to set the default encoding for source files (the default changed in 17 or 18, I think); also settings may be needed for console output (but that probably applies to elixir too). Erlang strings are lists of Unicode code points, if you're putting a list of utf8 bytes in there, that's not ideal (but you probably want binaries instead of lists, most of the time anyway)

Did you actually see bikes use the bike lane? I use the strand bike trail frequently but rather not be riding on the roads sucking down exhaust.

If LA wanted to encourage cyclist, they should build dedicated bike trails away from the roads and make the side streets shared lanes where cyclist can use the whole road to prevent us from getting doored or hit by a car pulling out of a driveway. There is no reason to put bike lanes on major arterials.

Yup, exactly this. The discount in a tender offer is normal. DST also discounted Facebook back when it made a $100m tender to existing employees and shareholders. Look at how TechCrunch reported on that tender offer when it happened:

https://techcrunch.com/2009/07/13/dst-to-buy-up-to-100-milli...

Furthermore, SoftBank has a lot of leverage that DST did not. SoftBank has invested in Ola, Grab, Didi, Nvidia, etc. and threatened to invest in Lyft. It has leverage that allows it to get a better offer than what any other investor could get.

The keyword that you seem to strategically be removing is "typically". Yes, everyone has their own style of communication. From the article:

> Gender socialization helps explain these findings. “From age
two or three, kids show patterns where little boys are more assertive and girls more indirect,” says Herring.

If we are going to discuss an article based on studies supporting the idea that men and women are raised to communicate differently, we have to accept that there is room for some generalizations with how people communicate.
I did, for the record, read the whole article. Perhaps you were more willing to assume that his stated goal was the same as his initial hack solution. Seems you were likely correct.

A bit off-topic: I've been in 12 car accidents, I think. 2 while I was driving a car, neither my fault. One while I was driving a motorcycle, also not my fault.

Anyway I find it strange that some people have never been in one. I'm not sure I know anyone who hasn't.
If you're the type that looks into sources of libraries when you have questions/problems, learning erlang will be helpful -- most of OTP (basically the standard library) is written in erlang itself, so it's useful to know that. (There's some amount of C code in OTP, but not too much.

...if you're a search engine spammer.

None of this advice is applicable to legitimate reuse of expired domains. In fact, a lot of it is the exact opposite of what you'd want in that case. (For instance, a dropoff in traffic is GOOD -- it means the domain doesn't have a previous owner who's likely to come after you for using their domain.)
Confirmed that root with no password unlocks the preferences pane. But, changing the require password after screen saver setting doesn't take effect. So, it seems to be a bug in the UI not an actual vulnerability.

I guess it depends greatly from the "business or trade" of the parents, beyond the periods.

Personally (and in the '60's) I had the great fortune of having both mom and pop working "on their own", (and not in a factory, in a public office or similar) so basically after school I went to either my father's studio or to my mother's laboratory, until I was 12 or so I made there my homeworks, or played there.

Even if it wasn't time "dedicated" to me, as they were anyway at work doing their jobs, one or the other parent was always present, at the most in the next room.

I could see the difference when compared to my friends/classmates (of course not their or their parents' fault) which had parents that went out in the morning and came back home only in the evening, due to their job.

A lot less communication between them and parents, and a lot less "experience" on what happens everyday in "adult's" life.

I'm also a fan of Meetup.com. Based on the article, I don't think Scott necessarily wants to have a billion members. Instead, he doesn't want to go out of business because Facebook takes over their industry. Meetup is fairly independent and hasn't raised a lot of money. A competitor to Meetup that doesn't charge for groups (initially) and has huge resources to develop features and conduct marketing could kill them. I think Scott thought he needed to prioritize surviving, providing jobs and continuing his political activism. If that is the case, becoming more ambitious is a survival strategy. It's disappointing but not the usual tech exit.
