> same thing with Singapore.

I don't know much about Canada as to whether your suggestions are true or not (statistics are so easy to manipulate) but Singapore is a terrible example to give in just about any context. Singapore did manage to lower crime in a multicultural aka multiconflictual society. It did so by destroying an individual's freedom and enforcing the rule of law the most brutal way possible. We are talking about a country that puts you in jail for blaspheming religion or even just littering. Singapore also banned homosexuality. Actually I wouldn't mind if we were to follow Singapore's example of enforced social harmony, go ahead, it will be funny to watch the left in the west go crazy over freedom issues like when Singapore banned foreign preachers from entering their territory. The only, single thing that is similar between a leftist wet dream and Singapore is multiculturalism. Everything else about Singapore is not a leftist dream but their very nightmare. And it's that "everything else" that allowed multiculturalism to even work there. Heck, Singapore only exists as a city state because they found it impossible to coexist with the muslim majority country. You should read up some history on the founding of that very young country.

I'm nowhere near interested enough to try to look up things about a boring country like Canada but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't end all that well for it if I were to. Because so far, every single time I've seen leftist multuculturalism defenders talk about countries I do know something about, it has been a really good joke.
I think that when many people here think of science then it is the science, the methodology.

What you are describing is the science, the institution and this is perhaps also how wider public perceives it.
> Any downsides?

Anything above 5 hours might then automatically be seen as neglect.
That isn't the issue mentioned by OP.

By which you mean, not at all, I assume.
What...?! This has nothing to do with monoculturalism or xenophobia. Probably not high work ethics either.

Here's a bit of US history to show how things have changed. The TV show "Sesame Street" started in the late 1960s as a way to provide pre-school education to low-income and disadvantaged families. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sesame_Street .

One of the early clips is "Loaf of Bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im4GwUD1UY8 . In it, the mother sends her young daughter out, alone, to buy those three items from the local store.

That account takes place in New York in the 1970s, a diverse city with many immigrants. While fiction, it's meant to educate children about what they might be expected to do.

If you read books about children in NYC in the mid-1900s, you'll see that this was not uncommon. Kids, including young ones, would go on their own to Central Park, or the library, etc. Or on hot days just hop on an elevated line to enjoy the breeze.
I can relate to this. I spent more than 10 of the best years of my life being embittered by heartbreaks and rejections in my late teens and early 20s. I know how you must be feeling, and it's good that you're committed to overcoming it.

It took me a long time to find stuff that worked, but after I found effective techniques about 6 years ago, the turnaround has been profound.

The techniques I've found beneficial have been emotional healing techniques that dig into the subconscious mind to identify deeply held beliefs and traumas that were created or reinforced by the rejections.

I've found the root issue for me was that the rejections confirmed beliefs I already held about myself, which is that I just wasn't good enough.

There's a lot to be said for the idea that people believe about you what you believe about yourself. I've certainly found that to be true for me.

The techniques I've found effective or that I've seen be effective for other people are:

- Hypnosis (Milton Erickson style) [1]

- Holotropic Breathwork [2]

- Self Clearing [3]

- Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) [4]

- Psych K [5]

- Kinesiology [6]

- Family Constellations [7]

- Daily meditation

- EFT/Tapping [8]

No one of these practices is a panacea; what you really need to do is embark on a journey of discovery to understand yourself and learn why these bad experiences have happened to you, then develop new, more healthy beliefs and behaviours.

The above techniques are not "remedies", but rather tools to help you understand what's going on deep in your mind.

Different tools will be more useful at different stages of the journey. It will take time to develop a sense of what tools/techniques you'll need when, but it does come with enough time and effort.

Feel free to email me if you want more advice; email in profile.

Please believe me when I assure you that you can overcome this and live a life of happiness way beyond anything you can currently imagine.

Good luck to you.

The technology of lightning, which is not specific to bitcoin, would probably have to be it. It allows atomic cross-chain trading :

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Atomic_cross-chain_trading

I suspect that all cryptos that want to survive will need to implement this technology in their blockchain at some point or another. Already, there has been chain trading between litecoin, decred, and bitcoin that I know of. I'm sure there will be more going forward.
I had a few projects featured in September and the valuable traffic came from secondary sources - social media, blog posts etc. I think ph is less about users and more about social proof.
You're basing your argument entirely on probability, and assuming all risk must be mitigated. Or I'm taking you too literally, in which case I apologise. However. Risk exposure is more than probability - it's probability multiplied by impact. And only then does one consider an approach - accept, transfer, manage, and so on.

In this case if one chose to manage the risk, the mitigation would require (one possibility) enshrining something in law, so that parents of these kids DON'T get prosecuted. That's a one-off, and possibly no more expensive than the cost of a single prosecution/incident.

Given that, doesn't it make sense to do this, making it just go away, and giving people that peace of mind? Regardless of the low probability? Cost is clearly less than protecting a populace against meteors.
How do you accidentally leave your son at a train station in Tokyo ?
Both sides feel oppressed! For example, some people think you can’t question diversity efforts; others think you can’t speak out about racism. Some think you can’t praise capitalism; others think you can’t suggest socialism. It’s theoretically possible that the Overton window could be in the middle and exclude both extremes, but to my mind it’s more likely that people just like to think or claim that their views are an oppressed minority.

That’s the real insight here. You wanted a fully networked society, well that’s what comes with a fully networked society.
Which would be fine except we use biology as the basis for all sorts of things all the time. “Men are typically more aggressive”, “Women tend to value family time or Y” “the male-dominated workplace isn’t friendly to women because of X”. I can’t tell you the number of times that biology is used in discussion of generalized differences between the sexes yet if somebody even hints that there may be a difference between men and women and how it may relate to technology it all of a sudden becomes some sort of sexist holy war. Nobody is throwing their hands in the air when it’s suggested that men tend to choose more dangerous lines of work than women (and die on the job at a vastly higher rate) because it’s in their nature, so why are we foaming at the mouth when biology may suggest men tend to be interested in things versus people? If the science suggests something than it is what it is. If it doesn’t then that’s fine too.
>You say this, but quote absolutely no science to back it up.

Yes I do, and I've been over some of it with you in this thread.

>I actually quoted two articles that prove the contrary, and you have no retort for them, but rather just glance over them as if they didn't exist.

What, the poor countries have different gender ratios claim? I addressed that.

>So you are going against your previous statement and saying here that culture plays a major role?

In poor countries, yes. How is Russia doing today after a ton of economic growth? I had trouble finding statistics, the only stat I could find is this:

>In 2016 Russia had the highest percentage of patents filed by women, at about 16%.

Which is about the ratio of women in STEM in the West.
AFAIK, it's actually illegal to carry them in any public space, even if it's for personal consumption.

There are also some other points where I think the law/jurisprudence can be improved (e.g. harm reduction supplies such as accurate scales can be considered as evidence of trafficking), but still, overall the law doesn't impose excessive penalties on drug users, and of course is better than most other countries in the world.
That article has some caveats - like she gets up at 2:15... but doesn't actually leave the house until 4:00. She gets up so early because 'she likes to take her time'.

So while she does have an arduous commute, she just chooses to get up even earlier which makes it sound more extreme than it is.
It's not recent, Vine has been around for years.

While it's a good program, there are millions of items, unlikely to have them all covered by Vine users. They would have to extend the program greatly for this to be an effective counter.
I don't think you closely read what parent wrote. Do you think a function call is "too abstract" because "nobody knows what it's doing under the hood"?
RPC is a concept - not a protocol.

For instance, the implementation of RPC I use looks like:

POST /v1/:method

A JSON object in the request body is the only parameter on the method. The response body is the returned value encoded as JSON.

Very simple, and still entirely within HTTP. Just not RESTful.
Not the parent poster, but I'll barge in and say I don't have any. Who knows, though - maybe there are actually some really good ones, and I'll never know them because everyone who came up with one kept quiet lest they be blacklisted and hounded out of polite society. Human reasoning is a cooperative effort (when can you say have you last won a debate on a topic widely regarded as important using only arguments you came up with yourself in a vacuum?); if you expel a position from the commons, you tilt the playing field against it in a way that is orthogonal to its truthfulness, and thereby destroy what would otherwise be a useful correlation between how a position fares in the debate circuit and how likely it is to be true.
>Weeell...In currencies like Bitcoin it's crucial that everyone have the most efficient implementation. Otherwise nobody will bother mining, if they can't do it efficiently.

Parts that have very critical performance, especially proof-of-work code, can be in native code. (And if it's modularized well-enough, that code could be sandboxed to contain the damage of any vulnerability, so any remote-code-execution exploit can only corrupt the mining process with nonsense without being able to get to private key data.) Or a safe-and-performant language like Rust could be used.
In Singapore my kids take the school bus. They could technically take the MRT / Bus by themselves, but I don't trust Singapore's traffic. When I grew up, I walked to school. But German drivers are really well educated (mostly).
This is even more common and ubiquitous in India. From reading the article, I would say way more common.
So, can we at least agree that gender quotas etc are bad?
I have never seen a GitHub issues page quite like that.

Pages and pages of issues ranging from; "Somebody stole thousands of dollars from me" to "My money is stuck and I can't get it out".
No, that's not true. Glos Police for example on their Twitter call for people to report "non-crimes" but their burglary clean-up rate is something like 9%. It's more accurate to say that UK police have given up on "traditional" crime.

Please tell me why anyone should bother being respectful of or lenient towards those who won't show the same decent behavior? They're messing with the tools people use to work. That alone earns them utter and complete disrespect. They've done this in a way that leaves them conspicuously unable to reply - they deserve no leniency for this.

Invitation to Ethereum Hackers' private group
Briton here. Pretty sure I’ve seen statistics indicating that crime is on the increase in the UK.

I don’t have these statistics to hand, but I remember less than 6 months ago I would see a victim of a physical crime (stabbing, beating) on a daily basis when I used to commute to Manchester from Leeds.

It certainly isn’t comparable to Japan, in my opinion. Whether the police in UK bother to address such crime is another matter.
Yes, I remember when that law was introduced. I vaguely remember that it was in response to a child being murdered after being picked up while waiting for a bus.

It's certainly a different world now. But I have a 10-year-old, and he goes to the shops around the corner to buy milk and/or bread. There'd be no way I could trust him to make public transport decisions at this stage though. Maybe a year or two more.
What happens when one runs out of one's few months of stockpiles?

They expect to go and steal from others (and have others try to steal theirs).

That's one of the reasons they have very large arsenals.
I'm pretty sure that if there were really a giant unidentifiable craft hovering over an American airport terminal less than a decade after 9/11 someone would have found a way to point something at it.
> Trains don't pick you up where you live and drop you off where you work.

Trains manage to do that in most countries, given a few minutes walk to and from a station.

I don't commute now but I used to commute two hours in the UK, and I walked 3 minutes to a train station, and then took a couple of trains all the way, and then a 3 minute walk at the other end to my office. And I lived in a small village not a major area.

Why can't they do it in the US?
Depends on amount of communication and informal "connectedness" of the team required for the task at hand. There are projects where tasks are clearly separable and all communication required can be done through a task tracker. There are also projects with a lot of active research, tasks constantly shifting, and cultural connection between employees critical (like game dev, with everyone on the team making creative decisions affecting the final product).
NY lawsuit asks: Is graffiti art protected under federal law?
What does that actually mean? It has to mean that your views are consequence-less, that there is no way they could have an effect on the real world.

> The system compiler that ships with Xcode is still quite old

quite old, quite old... -std=c++17 was only added in clang 5 released in september, 3 months ago. AFAIK current Xcode is based on Clang 4.
User experience hasn't been factored in and tooling is key here. Tooling could (perhaps) be such that the user would never need to see the key pairs; tooling would manage them. That everyone always has a mobile phone in their pocket is a big opportunity; it could hold gatekeeper software that's with you wherever you are.

> What happens when/if your private key is compromised?

We'd need to revoke the keys and that would be hard to do manually. But with tooling, eventually easier than logging on to a website and changing passwords.
I just took a mac book pro that was no longer in use and loaded Ubuntu on it so that I have a linux system to play with. My staff is not very linux knowledgeable and they will do the same this summer with their current mac book when IT swaps it out for a newer model.
In Germany (at least in they cities that I have lived in) they have a "Vehrkerskindergarten" (Traffic Kindergarden)[1] in addition to the cycling classes. Basically its a miniature town (streets with traffic signs, traffic lights etc.) where kids go around in pedal cars and bikes. They are run by the Verkehrswacht and the local police. You also get a badge for completing this and the proud picture of your class will be published in the local paper.

> The core idea (deploy an easter egg via an add-on) seems pretty reasonable

I am stunned. I need to think about it for a few days, but this, to me is enough of a reason to stop using FF. Force feeding users this way is not even Chrome-style; it is early Internet Explorer like behavior.
Respectfully, I don’t think this answers my question.

My question is not about what Looking Glass itself does. I can see that in its source. My question is whether Firefox or SHIELD collected additional data because the addon was enabled, even when the pref (and therefore) extension wasn’t. That’d require going through the source for the browser, SHIELD, and Normandy, which is quite a bit more challenging.

I’m hoping for a more authoritative answer with some evidence and preferably from a Mozilla representative.

This is from... 1994? How relevant is it to 2017?
A. Today is definitely not tomorrow. Self driving cars also don’t have any network advantages atm.

B. See autocratic country claim. China has done this before with certain cars in certain cities (e.g. breadbox vans). Japan deprecates all cars after around 5 years to make them basically unusable. Singapore has that $60k car plate thing going on that I think only lasts five years.

C. People told me LA traffic was bad. When I moved there from Beijing, I thought I was in paradise. Same with Seattle, the USA does not have traffic problems, at least relative to China; the problems are just at different scales. Also, taxi ridership is much much larger in these countries (it isn’t unusual that every other car on the road is a taxi). Enforcing self driving only on the ring roads would already be a huge win; capacity is easily controlled already by plate lotteries.
Have a look at the article I linked, the case of places such as GitHub is explained (TL;DR: the licence is derived from the TOS)
The problem is, US law has long eradicated "common sense" as a legal category. That's why you can get a compensation from a microwave manufacturer when you kill your dog , trying to dry it in microwave after bath, because microwave manual does not explicitly forbid putting live animals inside. Appealing to common sense in the court of law is a lost cause.
I don't know where people keep getting this idea that China is monocultural, but it's helpful when they do because really demonstrates their ignorance of the country. China is also by and far safer than America. Odd crimes/accidents only appear more common because they've got a population greater than the USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia combined.
>>To be fair, Mozilla had a long history of easter eggs.

This is not an easter Egg, I wish people would stop calling it that.

This is a Paid Advertisement, injected with out my permission into my software. AKA Malware or Adware.

Companies pay thousands of dollars a year to prevent that type of software from being loaded on their system.

Firefox DOES NOT have a long history of being a distributor or malware or adware...

Easter Eggs are funny things that Dev put into code that make people chuckle but have no impact on the actual software

To call this a "Easter egg" is naive and ignorant. This is a Paid Promotional Advertisement of a Large Commercial project not an Easter egg

If handling a party invitation is such a hard decision, how are you going to handle changing jobs, getting married or travelling overseas?

Everybody is different. I used to have similar problems trying to find the optimum. Eventually I gave up. A very wise person counselled me to simply be authentic. To get clarity around what I wanted and then go for it.

So to apply this principle to the dilemma you described: I would recognise that for whatever reason I didn't want to go to the specific event. I would contact the host and say "I am sorry, but I won't be able to make it your ____ event. But I am very keen to know about any future events and I hope the circumstances will allow me to attend at least some of those. Thank you for the invitation and looking forward to enjoying your company in the future."

It is unlikely that you would be pressed to give a reason for declining the invitation, but something along the lines of "a prior commitment" or "I'd rather not say" should suffice. Of course, if you have a specific reason you don't wish to go then you could share the reason ... tactfully.

I have to admit that I struggled somewhat with your example as you didn't clarify why didn't want to go. Giving a reason would have helped give you a more specific suggestion on how to handle the situation.
