Using the active voice is neither necessary nor sufficient for clarity as to "who is doing the action". Just make sure it is in fact clear, and write as understandably as you're able. It's true that sometimes people use the passive voice inappropriately, but that's no reason to mangle your writing to avoid it.

I wouldn't think so. Hit to kill is going to have the same but worse timing issues as a proximity hit since the size is much smaller.

I would guess the real reason is that if the target is ballistic, you need to actually "kill" it, not just wing it like you can with an airplane. If you wing it the warhead will still fall in roughly the same place with a probably intact warhead. To be safe you want to actually destroy the warhead. Worse case it goes off at point of impact, which is better than on the target.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud

"Although elements may vary by jurisdiction and the specific allegations made by a plaintiff who files a lawsuit that alleged fraud, typical elements of a fraud case in the United States are that:

1.) somebody misrepresents a material fact in order to obtain action or forbearance by another person,

2.) the other person relies upon the misrepresentation, and

3.) the other person suffers injury as a result of the act or forbearance taken in reliance upon the misrepresentation."

Example lie:

I'm CCNA certified.

1.) Yes

2.) Yes (I'm hired)

3.) The company loses a government contract after finding out that I'm not actually CCNA certified, and the bid required all engineers on the project are CCNA certified (alternately, I completely screw up the routers and take the companies infrastructure out of the global routing tables)

Basically, if the company relies on the lie to hire you, and then later suffers an injury from that lie, then a fraud has been committed.

Note that it works both ways[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_fraud]

The author has a myopic view of actual trends in American society.

If the nuclear family was such a successful idea, why has unwed motherhood been rising steadily since the 1940s, with two big peaks in the 90s and 2010s? Has the nuclear family had an impact on parts of American society that depend on close connections to extended family, such as Chinese, Indian, Latin, etc? Young people are actually waiting longer to get married now, and much fewer people are getting married when they get pregnant while unwed.

> marketing fundamentally exists outside morality.
> It's not a moral indictment, it's just a bald statement of fact

Marketing exists to sell stuff. Facts are only relevant to marketing in-so-far as the facts sells the product. More often than not, marketing is bullshit and completely devoid of facts because facts are boring and products need to be exciting.

"Millenials are killing X" is exactly the sort of marketing statement that is completely devoid of facts.

Especially if the medium was different, like publishing in a newspaper:

I think now researches would like it to be directly based on some other version of Stoker's work, as that would give them more value, but I believe it's more probable that the translator did the adaptations himself. I guess it was for him just like today nobody expects the film based on the book to be one-to-one transcription.

Loosely related, in Italy, Mickey Mouse comics were traditionally written and drawn by Italian authors:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topolino

"The first issue of Topolino was published on December 31, 1932: it contained Mickey's first Italian story drawn by Giove Toppi.[1]"

"Nerbini hadn't correctly secured the publication rights, so when Emmanuel (Disney's representative in Italy) protested, Nerbini changed the title of the comic book into Topo Lino (Mouse Lino), replacing Mickey Mouse with Topo Lino, another mouse. When Nerbini bought the publication rights from Disney and KFS (King Featured Syndacate), he changed the title back to Topolino."

"In 1952, the comic book became a biweekly, and Italian stories increased. Italian stories were written mainly by Guido Martina"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_comics

"The number of Disney stories produced and published in Italy is far larger than in the US. Italian stories are regularly translated in other European languages (e.g., German, French, English, Greek)."

>I think we are losing the ability to take a break.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've been feeling a huge sense of urgency lately. The news just keeps coming that endemic corruption has finally eaten through the woodwork, and I feel like if I don't take the opportunity to learn while the learning is good, I'll be screwed in 2-5 years when the norms collapse.

I guess that's a similar mindset to 'preppers', but I'm focusing on knowledge rather than things. Soon enough, I probably won't be able to look up how to...oh I dunno, make a blacksmithing forge on the cheap.

Maybe if we felt like we lived in a stable situation, we'd be more able to step back and breathe. Relentlessly tap-dancing on quicksand isn't good for anyone's mental health.

The government is not forbidding speech - you can disclose your prior convictions and your salary if you like. (If you look at it with a reductionist-enough lens, it forbids speech on behalf of the employer, but there are plenty of cases where you can't do that, e.g., trademark infringement, copyright infringement, fraud, claiming that your patent medicine cures certain diseases, etc.)

Also, the bill bans "the box" - the question on the initial application form. It does not ban inquiring into criminal history once you're ready to extend an offer, and requires that you consider whether the history is relevant. It seems to me that the motivation is to force employers to actually think about whether it's relevant instead of blanket refusing to consider people with a criminal history: once you've put time into interviewing candidates and preparing an offer, you're much less likely to give up on that sunk cost for irrational reasons, and the policy is betting that blanket refusal to hire people with a criminal history is only rational if you use it as an initial filter.

So there's no need to prevent immediately firing people: that's expensive, and you're going to think twice about doing that, and that's enough.

If they vote away Net Neutrality, in theory the biggest sites on the internet could easily bring it back:

"Sorry, you can only reach this site with a certified internet connection, please contact your service provider and request full internet access."

Seems, if Facebook, Netflix, and Google did this, it would be enough to force internet providers to open up the connection.

Although getting rid of net Neutrality is a win for Facebook, since people would just buy a Facebook package, and be even more walled into that garden.

I figured it was common enough for employers to check since they can buy the data, but I have no idea.
Consider sunk costs. As an employer, you've found a brilliant person to fill a position. You've gone through days of interviews, and this is clearly the best candidate. You put out the offer, and then ask for a criminal background check.

At that point, the candidate says "When I was 19 I got into a fight in a parking lot and was convicted of assault, had three years probation".

Now you've gone to all this trouble and you like the guy, but have to decide whether that history matters or not.

Before, you'd have simply filtered his resume from the pile at the start and never even interviewed him.
I've seen a similar thing happen before. I think at some point the burden of proof becomes on those claiming that it's not sexism to explain why it overwhelmingly happens only to one gender. (Obviously it doesn't happen 100% to one gender; there's bell curves and all that. But it happens more to one gender, which means that it's statistically implausible that the effect is uncorrelated with gender.)
One thing we did with our kids is take the toys that are left laying around and put them in a cardboard box, away from them. After a few weeks, when they run out of toys, we pull one of the cardboard box, and it's like Christmas for them!

Another advantage is that some toys never make it out of the cardboard box, you can donate/recycle them.

When I see the phrase "emailing like a CEO" I imagine mainly not asking for opinions or decisions rather making statements of fact or decisions. For example, I got into the habit of not asking for vacation, rather I say "I am taking time off from day X to day Y", or declaring my design decisions instead of asking for opinions.

In the case of asking for time off, my rationale is to avoid making someone spend time evaluating if my request is acceptable.
The flip side of that is what I sincerely have believed for many many years: I don't understand why people flaunt their read counts.

I read all the email from people on my team.

I also receive a lot of email from various sources in the organization as well as external sources - and sometimes all I'm looking for is the subject to decide if it's worth my time to open it and read it.

I feel that not all of that non-team based email is worth my time opening, reading/scanning, then archiving or deleting - time that adds up over the years: How many days of your life have you spent organizing your inbox so that your number is 0?

A stack is a beautiful thing :)

If I don't care about it, it goes away with minimal effort after a little time.

I don't want to be a slave to my email inbox - and at the same time I value the sources of the incoming emails that I don't always read - I read some just not all - and that's ok with me and I do that when it's socially acceptable (not trying to be a jerk about it).

Isn't this just the pigeonhole problem in reverse? The four toy group kids played with individual toys longer perhaps because there were fewer toys to play with. So... why would we be surprised with this result? Also, how does it lead to the conclusion that this allows "better focus to explore and play more creatively"? I'm not willing to pay the $40 to find out, did anyone do so and can provide the magical answer for why the authors believe their result shows anything about creativity or attention?

So as a sociological phenomenon, our relative aloneness is interesting, but I've been hearing about it for decades, not in a way that just applies to mothers. The whole "we used to know our neighbors!!" cry seems a bit dated now.

How much you made previously is somewhat irrelevant. How much you'd like to make is much more relevant. That conversation can still happen. The only difference is that applicants don't have to be anchored by their previous salary. They can ask for whatever they want.

Can you name some of these unjust laws?
More than 20 years ago people solved the token-that-must-be-consumed-once problem with the IO monad. Just a secret token that gets threaded everywhere. The monadic bind is just great syntactic sugar.

Also more than 20 years ago people figured out a way to keep separate tokens completely independent and forbid them from interacting with each other. That’s the phantom `s` type variable in ST.

Nowadays we have so many more complicated solutions (not all of them worthwhile!) giving you choice how you want to make sure an intermediate state is consumed once. Why not implement a state machine at the type variable using DataKinds, TypeFamilies et al?

Or you know, for the case of ensuring file handles/database connections get closed correctly, use monadic regions: http://okmij.org/ftp/Computation/resource-aware-prog/region-... (disclaimer: I haven’t read this paper or used this approach myself but I heard it’s a good technique)

But more importantly, even if introducing linear types can make what’s currently barely doable in Haskell easily doable, maybe even replacing five language extensions with one, does it have a good power-to-weight ratio? I’m not convinced. Is the kind of mistakes prevented by this language extension often made by typical Haskell programmers? My answer is no.
