I think the title is misleading. Quite highly. They didn't inject information.

They injected stimuli for some sensation, and monkeys learned how to interpret it.

So, what they did is they gave monkeys spidey senses, which they could trigger. And would make equally catchy title.

They have different lengths and purposes.

There's the hyphen (-) you are used to then there's the en dash (–) and the em dash (—).

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

>An em dash (or an en dash) denotes a break in a sentence or to set off parenthetical statements.

>The en dash (but not the em dash) indicates spans or differentiation, where it may be considered to replace "and" or "to" (but not "to" in the phrase "from … to …")

>The em dash (but not the en dash) is also used to set off the sources of quotes
The problem with a deflationary currency is that prices, wages and income go down over time. Someone borrowing 100 BTC today will have a hard time paying back that 100 BTC one year from now (let alone the interest) because they will be earning less than they do today.
Turns out if you're consistent in applying the NAP then homesteading becomes illegitimate as any exclusive claim on land which was previously free for anyone to make use of is an act of force against literally every other person in the area.

Since Glasswire 2 didn't solved long standing problems I have with it I'm looking for an alternative. Would be better if there was an open source alternative.

I want to be able to whitelist applications and block everything else by default, basically a better frontend for the Windows Firewall.

Genuinely to answer, Rails offer much richer environment, Express is pretty much bare bones server, Flask is comparable to Sinatra, the only comparable thing is Django and, especially in new version it got much better, I still think Rails is much more flexible solution, which offers you a lot already premade stuff, with your ability to control how things will be used, still quite significant.

Most of all, I believe a set of good practices enforced or encouraged with Rails is what distinguish it over all other frameworks.

Most difficutlty with Rails is after few years when you need to upgrade, I feel a lot of busy work has to happen then.

Liberterians such as myself, would like to see a more prosperous world. With the technology we have available today, we're 1000s of times more productive than we were millions of years ago, and yet, 99% of society is still stuck working 40-60 hours a week and barely earning enough money to get by. There are many reasons why this is the case: taxes are only 1 reason. But, most of these reasons ultimately have something to do with government. Housing and Healthcare is no-where near as cost effective as it could be, if we were allowed to zone it properly and innovate on it.

Ultimately, Libertarians stand for the freedom of people. Currently, when a government takes and uses 1/3 of every dollar earned, the society is not free. Note: that ratio would be a lot higher in expensive areas like the bay area, etc.

1/3 doesn't sound like much oppression, but when you add in the multiplicative effect on the spending side, it becomes more onerous because everything is more expensive. The day care has to charge 50% more, etc.

It's about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Most people, 99% are still working on their bottom tier. It would be morally, ethically, and economically wrong to stop their progress, by taking 1/3 of their productive efforts.

As the above posts mentioned, we do differentiate between natural resources and earned resources. Natural resources like Land should be taxed because you didn't create it from your own labor. On Earnings However, if you make your bed in the morning, you should be able to keep that labor - no one should be allowed to come over and use 33% of your bed.
Wow, I have similar issue. I have an acer 4k monitor at home with both HDMI and Display Ports. I used to use HDMI before to connect it to my 15inch 2016 MBP, and the mac used to crash very often. Close the mac, and connect the dongle with hdmi? crash. So I'd have to restart the mac, and connect the monitor while keeping it open, and then close. But once i disconnect the monitor - crash.

I then got a usb c/thunderbolt to display port for 4k 60fps, and the issues significantly dropped, but it still occasionally happens.

Great book and write-up. I self-published a children's book about two years ago and experienced the same challenges. I had many previously written manuscripts and decided to publish one at the urging of my kids. I used the editing and design packages offered by our illustrator and published via Amazon CreateSpace (which Amazon seems to be phasing out).

The final book was very nice. However, business-wise, it's not a good investment. It's a good thing I didn't go into the process with any major ambitions. I haven't checked in a while, but I earn a little less than $1 per sale through Amazon (due to fees and printing costs). Most sales were from friends and family and little else. I tried the Amazon promotions, giveaways on GoodReads, etc. It's very hard to sell as a self-published author, unless you already have a huge following.

The book is still a very nice keepsake and it's nice to give away copies to schools and get positive feedback.
To add to the answer already given, keep in mind that it depends on what you want to learn.

Theory from the point of view of physics (as in, less focus on algorithms, but some focus on building hardware): see Preskill's notes or Chuang&Nielsen's book.

I would suggest quickly skimming them once before trying to read them cover to cover.

1> In his initial correspondence with the Board he stated "...I’m already doing thiskind of work..." This was the statement that the board later used as justification for his claim to be an engineer.

2> The practice of engineering is defined in ORS 672.005(1) [1]

3> In the initial communications the board advised him that he should not use the title engineer or refer to himself as an engineer. To which he agreed. Later, he again referred to himself as an engineer.

I would also like to point out that engineering is not a regulated profession in Sweden. No licensure, registration, or certification is offered or required to practice engineering in Sweden. He may very well be qualified and have the knowledge, that doesn't mean he can practice in the US without proper registration.

Please read through the documents that are included with the Motherboard article that I linked in my parent post. All of these points are clearly stated along with copies of the conversations.

The Dale Carnegie company runs a sales course (IIRC it's 8 weeks, one night per week) which I found enormously valuable.

Apart from learning skills and heuristics, one thing that was quite eye opening was the range of other students. I remember (this was decades ago) a couple of kids around 20 with a T shirt stand on the beach (avg sale <$20, average sale time a minute), someone who sold home security systems for ADT (consumer sale of a couple of hundred bucks, leads from a lead service and cold calls) and someone who sold chip manufacturing equipment (average order in 10s of millions, sales cycle over two years).

Practical approach to Kubernetes CI/CD
For the last 2+ years, we work with different container technologies and building a SaaS service that allows everyone easily build scalable Docker CI (free for open source and pet projects)
Last year we ported our service to Kubernetes platform and also extending it to support Kubernetes CD (we use it by ourselves too)

Here, I would like to share with you our approach to Docker CI and Kubernetes CD (both Delivery and Deployment). It's a 2 parts blog post.

Please, share your thoughts about it: questions, feedback, things you like and things you think we are doing wrong.

No they aren't. I was pointing to the fact that in Guile you don't need shell scripting where you can use functions like 'mkdir', 'symlink', 'copy-file', 'file-system-tree', etc..., so you can use scheme with all the support Emacs, Geiser and guix.el give you.

There's a major problem with addons doing stuff the users don't want, and the tab strip is a critical portion of the user interface so "just let them hide it" has problems with abuse. So it needs to be something that can still be autoreviewed, and it needs to be something that gives clear indications to the user as to what is going on.

Pardon the cynicism, but all I see when I read this is MBA turd-word lobbing. It is meaningless drivel, bloviating self-promotion directed at people who don't understand anything about how their world works while thinking they are qualified to lead it because of X degree at Y institution, the admittance of whom was due to Z (powerful rich person) that is friends with his dad.

Others have noted the lack of data coming from a data strategist. That is the feature, not the flaw. Data isn't necessary in these people's worlds. They spout platitudes about data, laud it when it supports their world view, and ignore it when it doesn't. People that buy the world that this guy is selling are suckers.
Man, this was a real breath-of-fresh-air. As someone who has had a pet dream of moving to Japan, and has this very thing as their primary fear, I feel relieved every time I hear something like this from someone of foreign origin, living in Japan.
Most math books/papers come complete with definitions(incredibly helpful), theorems and proofs. In other words they are "well-documented" in programmer talk. Books on programming language semantics/syntax and general physics haven't reached the level of anal-ness that math texts exhibit when it comes to details, definitions and consequences. So, I'd say whichever comes with more hand-wavy (non)arguments is more difficult to pick up unless you're up for straight up memorization.

Right, and he "won" in the sense that they apologized for at least this particular instance and refunded the fine. But the GP is saying that it's really a loss because of all the time and money he had to spend fighting it, which I'm saying could probably be recovered with a lawsuit of his own.
I did some A/B testing over the past couple of years with dropping the 90s from my resume, and I couldn't distinguish any difference in responses. Among those who got the shortened resume, nobody seemed to notice, although it's possible they noticed the age gap and just didn't mention it.

Although if OP has sent out 40 applications and gotten no responses, ageism isn't the issue. There's something about his experience or resume that is turning people off.
Try looking for a company that does take-home assignments (these are mostly Kaggle-type problems). Then you don't need to learn formulas by rote, and the interview can focus on the assignment you did.

Experimental design (statistics) is important, but data science is a team sport. The people specialized in statistics may not be able to code up a deep net, and vice versa.

Computer scientists make great data scientists, especially if you know data infra. If I were to start a team from scratch, I'd focus on software engineers and physicists. Most are willing to pick up some ML to broaden their skills, and the ability to go end-to-end from conception to production is invaluable.
Businesses missing out on billions by not adopting new tech
I see a lot of people respond negative to this post, I got a lot from it.

First it shows you how to override rails defaults to create very similar environment that you would get if you would go api/react or vue. Advantage with this setup is that you still Rails foundation and this comes with a lot of goodies.

I love that it explain rather simple way to have hot reloading, I feel this makes me significantly more productive.

Overall really enjoyed article and will adopt many of ideas in it. It is good way to modernize your Rails projects.
I like to have two resumes.

One is optimized for getting past HR and screeners. It should check the boxes the job posting has, and leave out anything that indicates your age, unless they specifically ask for 10+ years of experience.

The other a longer, more detailed one to hand your interviewer during the interview in case they want to talk about specific experiences more.

Either way - you're always gambling here. You can't read the personality on the other side of a job post. Even if that job post looks like the best dev manager in the world wrote it (and that may be the case even) it doesn't mean that applications don't go through the screener who's also handling the hires for janitor, marketing rep, and help desk. It could also be going directly to that manager, and they may have a preference for detail.
I'm really bothered. While I had relatively no issues with the fresh OS X update, I'm having a hard time with the iPhone 7 and the new iOS that is supposed to run their flagship device: iPhone 10.

While most of the bugs have disappeared with the recent update, there are still some minor ones that really pisses me off: Screen freezing unresponsively for 30-60 seconds before things get back to control; and music playing randomly (happened a few times. Everything calm. Boom, music starts to play).

I'm pretty sure this mess wasn't here before the update to iOS 11.

Edit: Just found there is a new update. Let's see if they are getting their shit together this time.
Just don't be one of the salespeople that promises the client a feature that doesn't exist, then returns to the team after making the sale and says "You have to build this now." F--- that noise.
>Why would you ever voluntarily agree to a high-inequality society where you are at the lower end?

In terms of political philosophy, most libertarians come at it through a rights based framework (see: Bastiat, Locke) and believe rights to be non-arbitrary. You seem to be suggesting a more self-interested framework which I'm not going to argue for/against.

In terms of reality, libertarians skew wealthy and less social. Like most groups they are more likely to rationalize a system that is congruent on the surface with their place in society.

> So much this, but talent outside the big cities is rare. I lived in Queensland for a while and would have taken a massive pay cut for any tech work... but there just isn't any. I knew more people working in Sydney (fly-in-fly-out) than working in local companies.

This is what playing the long game is for. Take a lesson from Texas Instruments. The founders decided to start a tech company in North Texas, where there wasn't much talent. So they decided to grow their own: they started their own university with a strong focus on STEM subjects, located not too far from the corporate headquarters, and once it grew large enough, they turned it over to the state. To this day, the University of Texas at Dallas supplies TI with a lot of fresh grads, and Richardson, TX has grown up to be a large tech hub.

Of course, this takes a lot of time and a lot of money, but a particularly ambitious and rich team of founders can open a university on the outskirts of, say, Brisbane or the Gold Coast, and given enough time, they'll have people to feed their tech company and turn the area into a tech hub.
Here is the best place to start. Not a book on sales. A book on how to craft a message that will be heard by your audience.

If anyone is interested I did a recent interview on CEO Library[0] where I dropped a bunch of book recommendations on selling products, services and yourself.

I personally sell online video training courses for developers so it's something I've been hyper focused on for the last 2 years. During that time about 20,000 people have signed up to at least 1 of my paid courses.

I think becoming slightly better at selling has also made me a much better programmer, because your mindset shifts entirely. It's not just about naming things too. It's easier to see the bigger picture on something. It helps scope the entire project.

I'd agree with the more critical takes. I've read something like 3/4 of his collected short non-fic at this point and it's very uneven, and the gems one does find among the rest tend to be of the semi-precious sort.

As a sales leader and consultant, I kept being asked to offer weekly personalized sales coaching for technical founders. I launched it a few weeks ago and so far it's been pretty great for both parties.

Being able to sit down on a weekly basis to game plan the sales approach, go over calls, and hold them accountable has been immeasurable.

p.s. if anyone is interested - I'm in the process of launching a "Selling 101" online course for founders to cover the fundamentals of sales (finding leads, cold calling, performing demonstrations, closing deals, etc).
What they wanted to silence him for is probably the risk that someone draws a pattern linking what happened there with this:

> The real underlying demand for a currency comes from the advantage that everyone gets by using the same currency in a common market.

Why can't it be both? :)

> Totally false. Inflation is a target by most central banks. They can make it positive or negative, generally, and target specifically 2% for certain reasons.

This is a bit questionable. There are good reasons why a slight positive rate of inflation is a good thing, and while you could try to target a negative rate, it would almost certainly be very harmful to the economy.

Basically, people and even many companies have fewer contracts or prices for selling things than for buying things. So when relative prices need to adjust, this adjustment happens more smoothly and faster when prices don't have to decrease in nominal terms (because e.g. an employee whose compensation should go down in real terms will fight very hard against a nominal decrease in their income, but will fight less hard against a broad nominal increase in their outlays).

So you should generally aim to have only very few (if any) items in your basket of goods whose prices are decreasing.

(Economists call this the zero lower bound and focus on salaries, but I'd expect the effect to apply to other prices as well.)
Love to hear which sales books you consider great
It would be cool if your examples (or really your entire website) was a git repo so people could easily report issues. Examples:

1. Your GO examples don't quite follow Go standard style "resp_body" instead of just "body", "resp", or "respBody"

2. Instead of "Error Codes" it should probably be "Status Codes" since the first "Error Code" is actually "200 OK"
This will be nothing compared the crypto battle coming.
I'm not a moral realist so I think that libertarian philosophy is nothing but the most venal elements of capitalism congealed in thought, but I should add that the classical formulation of libertarianism is internally incoherent. You omit that for any transaction to be legitimate it must not only be voluntary but must also consist of the exchange of things legitimately acquired in the past, i.e. voluntarily acquired. This chain of voluntary exchange is what is supposed to grant one a title to that thing. But of course, in reality, that does not exist in the least. The distribution of things over history is primarily a function of brute coercion and happenstance. Nozick knew as much, and his suggestion is as pitiful as his scruples: we need to 'reset' society according to the Rawlsian difference principle and then begin our libertarian accounting.

In any case, I can't take seriously anyone who thinks that humans aren't interested in freedom because they want to be free to do things, i.e. I want to be free to see my family not only in that I don't want someone to stop me from doing so, but I also want the means to be able to do so. The one is more or less pointless without the other. And that obviously requires more than negative liberty. Or that, in another vein, that capitalist enterprises are not vehicles of accumulated power that sustain themselves by exploiting workers, ordered along hierarchical top-down principles. One only need step into sociological reality to see as much.
