You're going to get a lot of denial, because chatting with colleagues and sharing memes/news is fun -- and hey, it's related to work. And every once in a while, important info is transmitted.

Also, people swear they can multi-task just fine, when in fact they can't. Just like people swear they only need 4 hours of sleep. It's strange, but very few people say "Hey, I eat 300g of sugar each day, and my body loves it! That's just the way I am. Whatever works for you, right?" But when it comes to cognitive performance, it's as if the human brain is so diverse that there are no behaviors that objectively impede cognitive functioning in all cases. Multi-tasking always makes everyone less productive. It lowers your (effective) IQ. It makes you slow and dumb. It is also an objective fact that those who multi-task are generally unaware about their drop in cognitive performance. [ * ]

Also, there is a bit of a technological bias here. If you were to ask someone what is the worst possible kind of work meeting, they would tell you that it's the meeting that has no clear agenda, no one seems to be in charge, everyone is piping in with whatever's on their mind, and there is no well-defined stop period so the meeting goes on until no one has anything left to chime in about. Basically, Slack.

I wouldn't volunteer to attend a meeting just for fun, nor would I sign up for an open office floorplan, so why spend half the day in a virtual chat when I have work to do.

Once I'm done working, then I can meet with friends at a restaurant or bar, or be on social media.

The good thing about Germany is that there is a healthy separation of powers and the Constitutional Court will never allow this, not even coming from the executive. If that step fails, there is still the German people who would never allow this to get approved.

Or at least this is my intuition of what will possibly happen.
I'm curious as to what they mean by 'outdated.' Is the actual language outdated or simply the architecture? I would assume the latter, but it's tough to tell. I just can't figure out how assembly could become outdated.

Sir Humphrey: Well briefly, sir, I am the Permanent Under Secretary of State, known as the Permanent Secretary. Woolley here is your Principal Private Secretary. I too have a Principal Private Secretary and he is the Principal Private Secretary to the Permanent Secretary. Directly responsible to me are ten Deputy Secretaries, 87 Under Secretaries and 219 Assistant Secretaries. Directly responsible to the Principal Private Secretaries are plain Private Secretaries, and the Prime Minister will be appointing two Parliamentary Under-Secretaries and you will be appointing your own Parliamentary Private Secretary.

Sir Humphrey: None of us can type. Mrs Mackay types: she's the secretary.

I'm afraid that debating issues like this with anti-neutrality conservatives is getting lost in the weeds.

Something they probably will respond to, if you can hammer it into their heads through all the propaganda they've been fed, is that a free market for ISPs doesn't exist, can't exist (last mile infrastructure can't support a free market even under ideal conditions), and won't exist under Pai's plan. A free market for internet providers probably doesn't even exist in Pai's dreams, unless he's as dumb as the propaganda the FCC is putting out.

Then ask them if they really think it's a good idea, in a low-competition market that's not free, to let ISPs do nearly whatever they want.

I'm on very solid ground calling NIMBYism xenophobic. (It is also racist given how people of color were systematically excluded from housing until very recently.)
That's my point. Individuals committing fraud, few or not people hurt and they throw the book at you and take all your stuff. Whereas these big corporate wrong doings that have very negatively impacted people's lives pretty much get a yawn.

Also, if you just give us the other ones that undoubtedly exist we can nip this whole thing in the bud right now.
He does mean typical, but I'm not sure if the definition is correct. Mode of a sequence is the unit occurring most number of times. So the modal employee is supposed to be the most frequently occurring one.
Here are some links to the relevant antitrust laws:

Sherman Antitrust Act (1890)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act

Aspen Skiing Co. v. Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp. (1985)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Skiing_Co._v._Aspen_High....

Transparency in network management and paid prioritization practices and agreements will be relevant.

"We find that antitrust law, in combination with the transparency rule
we adopt, is particularly well-suited to addressing any potential or actual anticompetitive harms that may
arise from paid prioritization arrangements." (p.147)

If antitrust law is sufficient, as you've found, there would be no need for Title II Common Carrier regulation in any industry.

We can call phone numbers provided by any company at the same rate because phone companies are regulated as Title II Common Carriers.
ISPs are also common carriers.

"Public airlines, railroads, bus lines, taxicab companies, phone companies, internet service providers,[3] cruise ships, motor carriers (i.e., canal operating companies, trucking companies), and other freight companies generally operate as common carriers."

Totally. We all unquestionably are. But there is a moral difference between doing so out of ignorance or out of personal necessity (you gotta eat) and doing so out of willful ignorance or out of personal luxury.

I did not respond to that post because he uses Uber. Hell, I live somewhere where I can't get a cab, the train doesn't go where I need to go, and Lyft just literally doesn't have cars here (it's weird and I haven't investigated it, but there are times where I just don't get pickups near my house, though they pop up half a mile away if I walk). I use Uber in those situations, and I don't feel bad about it.

I responded to his post because, yanno, certain folks love the term "virtue signaling"--what is it when you sign up for a website just to brag about how little you care about the people around you?

That deserves a little criticism, I think.
So xenophobia is fear of people other countries.

NIMBY means "Not in my back yard." That includes everything from HUD housing, to nuclear power plants, to fracking, to prisons.

I don't see how being afraid of nuclear disasters is in any way xenophobic. I also don't see how not wanting your property devalued by building cheaper houses is either.

I think you don't have a clear understanding of what those things are, particularly in regards to the article we're discussing which happens to be in present day time.

Or maybe that's your "I want to win" tactic and you are just throwing it out there to see if it will stick. That might work in some corners of the internet, but it doesn't seem to be working here. If you have a rational argument about the discussion, I invite you to present it.

Governments are supposed to be in service of the people. People's security should be their goal, not a hindrance. They shouldn't abuse the power we gave them to enslave us.

Here is my current thinking as an alternative to regular large single family homes: https://i.imgur.com/7Gx4MMb.jpg . I explain the picture at the bottom of this comment.

My take on this is to compare the types of proposed lot layouts in the article where they have three almost normal sized buildings per plot instead of one, with the "tiny house" concept. If people aren't aware, "tiny house" is a really interesting concept that you may want to google. I would argue the sustainability of tiny homes is more of a plus than a primary reason for most people really, but since people are sustainability-minded and for practical purposes, some of these homes do not have wet toilets and instead have composting toilets.

The reason people are going for tiny homes is because of the lack of affordable "normal-size" housing. So, if people are willing to buy a house that is actually tiny and does not have a flush feature, maybe the next step up is a quite small but not tiny two-story house that has normal features like flush toilets.

----------------------------------------------------

Details on picture:

So I have been thinking for awhile along the lines of the article, but my buildings are two stories, fairly small but not quite "tiny", and have more space between them, which is explicitly dedicated to something like permaculture in order to be more sustainable. They are built with space-saving furniture and designed somewhat similarly to tiny-homes, except they have two full floors.

As noted in the picture, I am proposing much more living space than is available in tiny homes.

The permaculturish part means that the landscaping is designed to produce food. So the large circles on the picture are dwarf fruit or nut trees, the smaller circles berry and nut bushes (like American filbert for example). The rectangular strip is something like walking onion or maybe another perennial like yam. Around the entire property is an artificial raceway stream/pond with paddles to keep the water moving. This artificial stream/pond is used to farm a few fish. There are also one or two chickens on the property to produce eggs.

The furniture can be things like wall beds that convert to sofas for downstairs, wall beds that convert to desks for upstairs. The construction would use SIPs and HRV/ERV. The raceway pond could also have a pipe at the bottom for purposes of geothermal cooling/heating for the buildings. The buildings would have solar panels on the top of course.
Might be worth hitting enter a few times - it’s worked before.
It seems at best dubious to claim that the frauds which funded the company of which Shkreli was CEO did not personally benefit Shkreli, directly or indirectly, so I'd say on first impression it doesn't seem likely to be accurate (it may be legitimate as an argument in the sense of not being an interpretation entirely ruled out by the evidence, however.)
Yes, but he wasn't convicted of fraud against his Retrophin investors, he was convicted of fraud against his previous investors (the ones he paid with Retrophin money). So it's peculiar to use the Retrophin investors as justification for seizing his assets.

Its much more likely about the degradation in the quality of life if you were not thinking about moving in the near future than improving your investment. Its likely not about the one bungalow getting converted to 3 townhouses its the 10 more bungalows on the same block (that already has minimal parking) that will get converted once the first 3 townhouses sell for $1.5M each.

And then your house will get re-appraised for higher and your property taxes will go up, all while you were busy planting tomatoes.

Here's an example of what happens when there is a rapid increase in density in a formerly suburban town with minimal transit options:
https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2016/12/02/traffic-mess-...

'The number of exhaust-spewing vehicles lined up in front of Downtown North and the Crescent Park homes was stunning, even to residents who endure heavy traffic in those neighborhoods.

"Last night was similar what happens most weeknights on Middlefield, just on steroids and over a wider area. There were double lanes of traffic on the four blocks of Middlefield north from about 3:30 to after 7:30 p.m. I did not see exactly when it cleared," said John Guislin, who has been working for years on traffic-calming measures along Middlefield.

"I had planned to go out to do errands but was completely blocked from leaving my driveway. Remember, Middlefield has two lanes in each direction, so backing out is extremely difficult because even if a car in the curb lane stops for you, the center lane can't see you until it's too late." he said.'

Silicon Valley VCs and YCombinator need to encourage growth where there is existing mass transit and the infrastructure/city services can support 20 story residential. They should definitely look south toward San Jose (BART, High Speed Rail).

Yeah, I also think explicitly exposing each parameter called in a lower level API is a recipe for disaster.

One way to avoid that is to pass down kwargs to the low-level call. `pandas` uses that in their plotting function (passed down the matplotlib call).

If it was true that both no one was unjustly deprived and Shkreli had no direct or indirect gains (gross, not net of, say, separate criminal acts with offsetting effects taken together) for any of the individual crimes he was convicted of, it would seem to be accurate that the standards of the criminal forfeiture statute would not be met.

OTOH, that doesn't actually seem likely to be true.
Haha, thanks

This doesn't apply to iOS. If new iOS version come out, you should update immediately so you can test if it fit your comfort.
If not, you have very limited window to come back to previous major (and hopefully still secure) version of iOS.

If you miss this window, you have two options - stay on older version waiting till new version get fixed all annoying bugs (hello iOS 11), or if you already on newer version, you're screwed - no coming back.

For this reasons I stared upgrading to newer iOS versions as soon as they are available.

Funny thing is that on the update site section steps in `To confirm that your Mac has Security Update 2017-001` confirm that I have the update, but am still vulnerable to the issue.

Do I understand correctly that setting root password is also valid workaround for the issue?

When I see a story where representative democracy is failing to serve the people, I can't help but remember that this form of democracy was invented before we had the Internet.

Ask HN: Are nanodegrees useful as qualifications?
To those of you who have obtained "nanodegrees" or certificates from online courses, how do employers and other people react to you describing it as a reason to hire you or use your services? Does anyone consider it "enough"? Will they generally look for additional qualifications to back it up? And which, if any, online learning certifications are considered reputable enough to carry weight as a qualification?

I ask because I'm planning to take Udacity's deep learning course, but I am skeptical as to how much value the certification adds above the content itself.

This is cookamamie. A hypervisor also has syscalls and in this particular case the global zone is the hypervisor. They even call it "type 1 hypervisor".

Apropos "KVM-inspired hypervisor": the zones still function in exactly the same way as they did when I first used them in 2006; in fact when running lx and KVM Joyent is exploiting an obscure capability called a brand (branded zones), but that capability has always been there, since day one back in 2006.

Finally, there has only been one known case of managing to break out of a zone and this was through a kernel driver exposed to it, exactly the kind of scenario you'd have on VMware. In the decade since, there have been no known cases, so not only is your argumentation cookamamie, it's in the realm of pure hypothesis.

1. Units in skyscrapers are fundamentally expensive, whereas small apartment buildings or townhomes or quadplexes can be relatively cheap per-unit.

2. Having moderately higher density has a lot of useful knock-on effects, like better walkability and transit support.

3. The objections are rooted in selfishness and classism/elitism. It's like someone objecting to a homeless shelter in their neighborhood because eww, homeless people. This common attitude doesn't mean we should never build homeless shelters.
