Philosophy.

Basically:

* Write everything down that comes to your head. Review that information.

* Categorize everything into actionable tasks, or waiting items within a project (Anything that takes more than one task)

* Clear your inboxes (Physical and digital) often

* Weekly review of how the system is working for you

Coming along with that is a lot of software to try and make it really easy to follow. I personally use Todoist, a lot of people in the Apple ecosystem like omnifocus, but really any task-app and a calender can do (paper works as well).

I suggest reading the book if you are someone who struggles with productivity or wants an imporoved system. I like the book because even if you don't fully adopt the system, just about everything in the book works independently (You don't have to do EVERYTHING in the book to get an improvement, as I see often with other similar books).
Understanding the A/B testing market
Legal cases are not just about the matter at hand. This can set the precedent on how the government can use private companies to evade the restrictions set upon it by the First Amendment.
Show HN: Proof-of-work difficulty explained
I met her on World of Warcraft. I was just getting into dungeons for the first time and her group was looking for a healer. I happened to play a resto shaman at the time, so I joined and her, her friends and I all hit it off. I joined their guild, we ran dungeons and our first raids together, we all became good friends and I started to fall in love with her.

We've been together for almost eight years now, and still play WoW almost every day. The biggest "mind blow" to me is how different our lives would have been if her group hadn't been looking for a healer at that exact moment.

Edir: as for how I "knew", I guess it just sort of became obvious. Whenever I wasn't playing WoW with her I would be thinking "I can't wait to log in and tell Laura about my day", or "I wonder why Laura isn't online right now, things aren't as fun without her". I couldn't stop thinking about her, first as a friend and then as something more.

> which basically means that the actions of the private sector can be coerced to give a "right to receive."

No, that does not follow from the article's analysis.

What does follow is that, if the forum the gov't is using does not protect this right to receive, then the gov't can be forced to use a different forum.

Which is how it should be. Malls shouldn't be allowed to shut down public debate on local tax policy just because the city council chooses to hold their public meetings in the food court.

Of course, the mall is free to perform that censorship. But then the council needs to find a different place to meet.

> By this logic, cable providers and ISPs can't charge you money to see government communications because now these forms of communication are a guaranteed right

Those "volumes of case law" already deal with this question in a multitude of ways.
I've applied to dd (mainly as a happy customer) and was assured there's absolutely no remote option. If that's still the case, I urge you to edit the post accordingly. If it's "remote in USA only" - mention that.
I have use type hinting in all my Python code since the beginning of the year. And, I run mypy checking (with --ignore-missing for now) on it too.

It's been pretty great with a few exceptions in a couple weird case. And, I've only had to use the `# type: ignore` escape hatch on like less than 10 lines in a thousand roughly.

Before type hinting I was getting really down on Python and using a lot of Go. But, since then it's evened out more.
No, I don't think there's anything like a binary "protected free speech zone" property. It's always context-specific. They used the example of Television, where the government is restricted from blocking its official communications to certain people, yet that doesn't mean the channel itself can't choose what gets shown.

This is specific to the First Amendment restrictions on government, which don't apply to Twitter, as a private company. (IANAL)
I'd rather have a language which is not specific to the browser, and browsers offering a compilation target, like LLVM / CLR / JVM. A simpler compilation target would hopefully lack semantic subtleties.

Now we can have this, too, of course, and e.g. run Clojure or Elm in a browser, compiled down to a safer / better supported subset of JS, or use ES7 with polyfills. But the intention of browser vendors is currently different; WebAssembly, while a small and well-defined VM, is not intended as a JS peer, let alone replacement, though.
"Don had spent the last two years of his main career as a software executive, traveling to Hong Kong, Paris, Sydney and Tel Aviv.

Retiring in 2002 meant he could finally stay in one place: the 1930s’ Spanish colonial revival house he shared with his wife in Berkeley, California. It also gave him time to indulge a lifelong obsession with fast cars. He bought a red-and-white Mini Cooper S and souped it up to 210 horsepower, practicing until he was named third overall in the US Touring Car Championship pro series.

The fast times didn’t last.

When I started exchanging emails with Don, he was 69, divorced, and staying at the Desert Rose RV park near the warehouse in Fernley. His wife had gotten to keep the house. The 2008 market crash had vaporized his savings. He had been forced to sell the Mini Cooper. In his old life, he’d spent about $100,000 a year. In his new one, he learned to get by on as little as $75 a week."

This is sad. How do I avoid this fate in the future.
Thanks for telling me the comment is unclear. I'm working on writing better. It's a complaint against liars and hypocrites. That's what I'm trying to say.

Name dropping Ellen Pao never helps on HN or reddit. People here really don't like her, whereas she's a hero in other spheres. Nevertheless, I don't agree with everything she did but she offers insight people miss.
Some more than others. It can be mitigated, and probably should be for certain roles.
Say the government set up booths in a mall for public officials to make speeches. Could the government then kick out people who bring in pro-abortion signs to such a speech? Probably not.

Probably not but I think the mall management could, at the request of the official or for other reasons, if they choose to. It's still their private property.

FTA: The medium of communication, whether it’s online, television, radio, print, or bullhorn—isn’t the issue

I disagree. Twitter is private. Nobody has a right to a Twitter account. It's not "the press," it's not the public square, and it's not the beneficiary of government allocated broadcast frequencies. Twitter has decided to enable users to block other users and it's really not the government's business.

Politicians frequently make speeches at private events in hotel ballrooms (e.g. fundraising dinners) that are open only to approved audiences. I don't see Twitter as being much different.
Do you have data or any sources to go with this feeling?

>The best thing I can think of is subsidizing child care...

Since most childcare providers are women and programs with high adult to child ratios are preferred doesn’t this lead to the strange situation where a large parts of the workforce are taking care of other people’s young children?

This story reminds me of two similar stories. One was a fad in England where middle class wet nurses were employed by the wealthy. The middle class then passed their children down to the lower class and the lower class to the lowest class. The result was the lowest class mothers wet nursing a half dozen children.

The second story was that in communist Russia the early leadership was obsessed with economic efficiency. The thought of mother’s raising their children was considered a waste of resources and so the idea was that the state would take over raising and caring for children. Professionals would be better equipped and trained and, more importantly, more efficient! The result was a nearly feral generation of children that almost collapsed the country.

Raising young children is just very labor and resource intensive. Forgoing having children frees up a tremendous amount of economic resources and can temporarily boost consumption. In economics this is known as the one time “generational dividend” that if squandered leaves society poorer and not richer.

> First stop, I looked at babel-polyfill.js but was surprised to see it is 259kb unminified/uncompressed. I’m sure it does a lot, but the entire JavaScript bundle for the whole site is only 93kb unminified/uncompressed. It’s hard for me to recommed a +300% increase.

I just tested it, and the minified and compressed babel-polyfill is 34K. Going from 12K of JS to 46K of JS just to make modern loops work may be a little unsettling, but those are both really small numbers these days. The blog post is about 10x bigger. It's also worth noting that babel-polyfill adds lots of other useful stuff; there are plenty of similar problems that you'll never have to think about if you're willing to drop in the whole babel-polyfill.

I think that for most use cases, bundle size is a distraction and it's best to just focus on building things. You should still keep an eye on bundle size in case it gets out of hand, but I don't think that's the case here.
> You could say that this is our fault for "doing it wrong"

Do you have decent test coverage and use tox to run your tests against multiple versions of Django?

If not I can recommend this approach from experience.
You are right, there is a choice. The fact that this nomadic lifestyle is on the rise, however, is notable.

What is causing the increase? IMO, it's regional inequality. If the only good jobs with growth potential are centralized to areas with some of the highest cost of living in the world, then it makes sense that people would do anything they can to go to those areas, even if it means homelessness. Is this really something that we want to support in our society? Shouldn't we try to provide an increasing quality of life for _all_ of our people, not just the rich?

Edit: To those downvoting me, can you please explain? What did I say that was wrong or inaccurate?
I don't think this has anything to do with what Twitter can do, but with what the government can ask (in this case, using its features like Blocking) Twitter to do.
Similarly there’s the annoyingly named duplicati which also works pretty well. I have it set to send snapshots to google drive, encrypted of course.

> it's not the public square

Then it shouldn't be used as a public square.

It's really that simple. Twitter isn't being compelled to do anything either way! But if Twitter isn't an appropriate setting for a public forum, then the gov't can be forced not to use Twitter for certain things.

This is not about Twitter's rights to provide features. It's about the government's right to use those features.

> Politicians frequently make speeches at private events in hotel ballrooms (e.g. fundraising dinners) that are open only to approved audiences. I don't see Twitter as being much different.

There are strict rules that separate public service from campaigning activities.

So one important factual question in this case is what side of that divide the accounts in question (e.g., @realdonaldtrump) are on.

On the contrary, it's a great resource to teach people that blockchain won't save you from fraud, and that blockchain applications that store and transact value are just as prone to that fraud as any other medium.
Actually, there are some legal limitations around the notice period in the UK. For instance, you can always leave during the first month without doing any notice period.

>>> I've never decided to quit a job and needed to be out one month later

It's a big hassle to get a new job if you can't be available before a few months. I personally had the case that a new job was terrible and left rather quickly. That would have been a problem if there were multiple months of notice.
Because mortgages are one of the few leveraged investments Joe Consumer has access to. As such, it is often one of the only ways people can retire or afford property at all.

Also, because it is highly leveraged for many, especially in the Bay, to have it reduce in value can actually easily bankrupt you. But for many, they feel they need to take the risk to lock in home prices, and also to grab what they still cling to as "the american dream" of owning a small single family home. Can't say I blame people for being upset by that, especially after this tax reform theft.
Thats cool, just following whats trendy
For the 1% use cases, expect forks. For 19%, give them options. For 80%, give them good defaults.
It depends if you're in a state with high state taxes, for one. You can't deduct those.

> This is not about Twitter's rights to provide features. It's about the government's right to use those features.

This is the heart of it. The mall can do what it wants, but the public official can’t direct mall security to kick out people with protest signs.
The outcome of the democratic process is respected in the sense that it controls what happens. There’s no reason to respect in the larger sense of thinking the outcome is just simply because it is democratic. Majorities can act, and often do act, unjustly.

It is a fundamental principle of American democracy that the people ought to exercise thier power virtuously and it is entirely appropriate to chide them when they do not. Nothing in the “progressive left” philosophy is to the contrary as far as I’m aware.

The simplistic notion that whatever a bare majority of the people want is good went out of fashion more than 2000 years ago.
I would support Twitter if they decided that governmental users were not allowed to block.

Senator's response to a request to support net neutrality
Dear __________,

Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts concerning the FCC and net neutrality. Recent Internet regulations by the FCC further regulate our nation’s residents and their personal usage of the intenet. I share your support for keeping the internet open for all Americans.

I believe Congress and the FCC must find an appropriate balance to protect Internet users and support continued innovation. Regulation that protects consumers is important, but allowing the government to overreach and control the Internet could potentially harm the market.

I will continue to represent the views of my state and do so through hearing from constituents like you. Please continue to reach out, either by phone or by email, when you have another question or concern. You can reach my office in Washington DC at 202-224-5824 or submit an email at https://www.cassidy.senate.gov/contact.

Sincerely,

Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.

For someone who values their privacy at least a little bit, Google and Windows are no options.

Outside Pixel, updates on Android are an embarrassing shit show. I did a three year detour to Android, but never again. Update after update things were broken until and you had to wait 6 months to get an update that was supposedly fixing things.

As someone who considers privacy important, Linux and BSD are the only credible alternatives to the Mac. Unfortunately, a lot of software that I use nearly daily is missing, because the Linux ecosystem does not have a strong ISV ecosystem (Little Snitch, OmniGraffle, Things, DeckSet, LaunchBar, Alfred, Arq, 1Password, Tweetbot, Affinity Designer/Photos, etc.) and does not support some hardware well (Sonos, etc.).
I think the EFF are clutching at straws a bit. Blocking someone from contracting you on social media isn't really a freedom of speech issue -
so long as an alternatives means exists. Though restricting them from reading your content if those posts are in an official capacity is very questionable. More so considering how much official communication is moving online.

For example Twitter now seems to have become a default channel of sorts for announcing power outages and for urgent press releases from government agencies. Is it right that someone misses out on updates because they were blocked?

Maybe what is needed is for twitter/facebook etc to have a special kind of "read only" blocking for government and public official accounts?
