In the strangest way, I really welcome this comment.

There's not much anyone can say to me that comes close to the confusion, guilt, and pressure I felt making the decision to leave grad school. If I can provide some context: I'm a Chinese American whose parents and older sister are all tenured academic professors (in molecular biology, theoretical physics, and neuroscience). Becoming a professor was my dream, so I was also deeply saddened when I realized I couldn't devote my life to pursuing scientific truth and discovery.

But turns out, it just isn't for me.

I was miserable in academia, and that misery felt like a betrayal to everyone I knew, loved, and respected. To make things worse, I was also good at it (https://neurotree.org/neurotree/publications.php?pid=57690&s...). When it came down to it, I felt like I was living someone else's life, and I knew that my ability to make a positive impact on the world would be severely limited by how unhappy I was.

To this day, I feel obligated to be on the side of making things better rather than worse, and want to help people in whatever way I can. And while I'm no longer developing therapies for Parkinsonian patients, I do believe that I am still helping people. Key Values at its core is about helping people evaluate their personal values, find teams that will energize them, and feel genuine happiness from spending their waking hours doing work they love with people they love.

Now I feel inspired and excited, and I feel like the work I do is incredibly rewarding. I promise you I'll be able to do more for the world because I feel this way.

Listen, I get it. It's annoying that so many people today are so privileged, and here we are complaining about all of the amazing options we have. But this is our reality. If you don't love how you spend your waking hours, it is your responsibility to exercise your privilege and figure out what will. At the end of the day, the only person who has to live with every decision you make is you. So make sure you choose wisely.

Everyone wants to make a meaningful contribution to society, but that's just too vague of a desire. Maintenance and cleaning staff are some of the most overlooked and undervalued contributors, and thanks to Homejoy, I will forever go out of my way to express my gratitude to them.

Lastly, just for the record, I was not an engineer at Homejoy. I was both a city and regional manager, and I worked very closely with the cleaning professionals who serviced the Bay Area. I guarantee there are at least 100 people in the Bay who will tell you that I was the one who taught them how to clean a toilet. I scrubbed hundreds of toilets alongside them, and several of them continue to be friends of mine.
Maybe we could do something crazy, like bring back SROs, instead of de facto as a society acting like we think it is better for people to sleep in a tent than have "sub standard" housing. Because tolerating rampant homelessness while turning our noses up at modest rentals basically amounts to the nation saying that is exactly what it thinks.

Miner said she was skeptical of the proposed campaign to educate homeless people about fire risks.

Yeah. A homeless person making a cooking fire is probably hungry and probably has no other viable option. Trying to "educate" the homeless about fire risks sounds like "Honey, we don't care if you starve. Just make sure you don't burn down any mansions. Kaythxbai."
That's an excellent idea, thank you. I may put my macbook pro in a second room with a long HDMI cable. Noise has become worse as I've added external hard drives.

As for the mac pro, they say it's silent, but it's the kind of thing I plan to test in an apple store running some programs like quicktime screen recording on full blast before buying.
That is amazing. I put it in the Chrome "Read Later" extension so it is easy to find quickly. TNX

I'm afraid you're a bit off. A quantum computer can search N possibilities (such as when, say, looking up data in a database, though I doubt you'd go to the trouble of using a QC for that) in time O(sqrt(N)). So for 2^N things, that's 2^(N/2), not 2^(sqrt(N)). Obviously still a big improvement.
Nice, thx
I'm talking about the 14th amendment whichs protects citizens from discrimination, including their place of origin like Puerto Rico.

That's why you need to read the full sentence instead of taking out of context:

>They're U.S. citizens and have constitutional rights, so the economic value of their existence doesn't matter.
The SAFT lets you sell tokens to speculative investors, without having the tokens themselves be securities: You wrap the tokens in securities for the speculators, and then unwrap them for the eventual users.

There are still open questions about whether and how that or other approaches will work.

...But for a long time now, I and a lot of other people have thought that the basic strategy of a lot of ICO issuers -- issue tokens for money, call them "utility tokens," hype their speculative benefits, and watch the money roll in -- was obviously illegal, and the SEC didn't seem to be paying attention. Now we know it is.

You're fine. I don't think it was actually that hard to figure out what you meant. :)
I don't disagree, but I will point out that many homeless people want to be homeless, if being housed means submitting to questions and forms. Autonomy is a powerfully strong motivator.

I agree. There have to be options for really cheap places to live. For a lot of old people without much money it's the same. They have nowhere to go.
I understand the frustration with making content region-specific, but the less annoying cookie-law banners irrelevant to my jurisdiction on the web, the better. I'd be personally fine with that sort of location-based variance: it's not that different from setting a default weather location for a news website, for instance.
They should be; it's just an oversight.

There is definitely something to be said about economic prosperity in a lot of places, but abandoning 3.41 million US citizens after a hurricane hits doesn't seem very American.

It looks fantastic from the website! On my mac though, it’s stuck at “Loading…” on the launch screen.

It’s also a pity it’s not open source, it would be great to be able to contribute composers.
Outside of being restricted to the browser, isn't this very similar to what is offered by Launchbar and Alfred?
I can't believe nobody's mentioned that apparently yarn is more popular than npm?

Surely that can't be — see the "Other tools" page.
I am not sure I would want to discover an edge case anywhere.
Not that low a speed. Let’s say the generational ship was moving 0.01c, at the low end of what’s believable (500-1000 years to a nearby star). That means the ship was decelerated 99.999% of the way from cruise speed before jettisoned. In terms of energy, that’s 99.99999999% of the stopping thrust already expended. That’s without even getting into the rocket equation which makes it even worse.

At that point why not carry it into the system with you? The mass would be negligible given the energy budget. Ejecting it seems to serve no purpose but wasting several cubic kilometers of presumably processed material. Why do that?

Now maybe it was a probe ejected from a ship at distance, but then why is it tumbling end over end?
The vast majority of homeless do not want to be homeless. If we provide enough affordable housing -- at market conditions, with no more forms and the like than other rentals -- you will be left with a much smaller number of quirky hobo-by-choice types. Shrinking the problem is very worthwhile.
That probably changed just recently.
I just read that entire issue and it looked dire for a while, hopefully it is resolved properly in https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4442

> The reason for all the school debt is not the loan environment. It's the cost of schools.

There is an argument that the prices charged by the schools area result of the loan environment (both a market-based argument and a political argument that loans as the main affordability tool have displaced state subsidies; the former reduces the up-front cost but only by deferring it, the latter actually reduced the total cost to students.)
From 2011 through the end of 2015, SF jobs grew 23% and housing grew only 3%! Mayor Ed Lee worked hard to bring jobs to SF. I wish he had worked harder to bring housing and transit for the people working those new jobs. The result of the imbalance is more money for the wealthy (higher rent income & tiny houses sold for $1M) and more suffering for everyone else (higher rents, crowding, displacement, & unhealthy commutes).
I’ve heard this so many times, and don’t get me wrong I really like Vue, but I’m so surprised people find it easy to learn compared to the others. It wasn’t an uphill battle but I found getting started with vue to be about the same, if not little more overhead, than react, ember, or angular 1, all of which I’ve played with a little.
As someone who knows react very well, is there still a reason to learn Vue? Or is the primary benefit that it's easier to learn?
Doesn't it look like homeless get punished for being poor?

The only hardware I've seen having problems recently were Macbooks. I'd research the model before I would try to put Linux on one. The ones having two graphics processors are really finicky, as I can attest to about my work laptop.

That said, I'd probably check out a laptop in general if I were going to buy one to see if anyone has major problems. I was bitten about 5 years ago with one where the touchpad was too sensitive, no matter what I did.
Sounds like money well spent

I always learned Ohm's law as, "V = I*R". You know, over the handful of classes that included it at some point. When you say 'Ohm's law,' my brain says 'vee-equals-aye-arr.' So...I did check wikipedia first to make sure I wasn't having a stroke, but I think 'V=I/R' is a typo.

Anyways, that does seem fairly self-explanatory. More volts means more current with the same resistance. More resistance means less current with the same voltage.
I’ve been able to do everything I want to with create-react-app which uses webpack internally, giving you a zero configuration experience.

With async import I am able to do code splitting. With react-intl-cra I can pull formatted messages out of my code. I had to add a grunt file to compile LESS into src, but it was easy to integrate with my package.json scripts.
I think you might be reading that wrong - should be "Without compromise, macOS will discontinue support for 32-bit apps". The only compromise should be not upgrading to 10.14 and staying on 10.13.

Sure, but that isn’t many of them. A drive through the desert finds it is mostly unpopulated. Definitely “desert” doesn’t define most of California’s population, it isn’t related to the Bay Area, Sacramento, etc....

You can find a list of California’s largest desert cities at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deserts_of_California, and it’s pretty marginal. Note Bakersfield isn’t even on that list.

Yes. But I am trying to make the distinction that most poverty relief programs are much more invasive and bureaucratic than most market based solutions.

I am thinking of low cost rentals where they require you to live there and won't rent it to well off people looking for a weekend getaway that is cheaper than a motel. But other than that, I don't want a lot of extra requirements tacked on.
Correct. Except this has nothing to do with "specific types of content" and everything to do with "specific large incumbents paying providers to make their competitors slow". If it was just about broad traffic categories, then maybe it wouldn't be as awful of a plan.

Really, ISPs don't want to just be a utility. Imagine if instead of having to charge for service provided, they could have large companies like Netflix and Hulu bid for the exclusive privilege among video providers to not be throttled; the profits would start raining in without having to even innovate on actual product or service provided. How wonderful.

Yes, I've never liked elevating the monitor. To me it's uncomfortable and bad ergonomics. I want to avoid tilting my head up to look at the monitor. I want my eyes looking slightly down from a completely level position, and this decreases eye strain. I've never understood why so many people want to jack their monitor up on a box, fat technical book, or stand. The most important thing is to make sure the surface of your desk is at the right height for working while sitting or standing.
Wow, great thought. Maybe I had better write better commit messages then.
I think you're looking at the Enterprise domain controller pricing. the Standard size (up to 30,000 objects) is 12 cents/hour for two controllers.

$0.12 * 24 * 30 = $86.40/month.

You say elsewhere:

Don't you have British citizenship by blood? Can't you go to the UK and get NHS and unemployment benefits?
No. ISPs want to rescind the 2015 NN rules so they can vertically integrate their content and delivery products, mostly because their content offerings are utter crap and can't compete in a free market. The intent here is patently obvious; the industry analysts working for major ISPs don't even pretend anymore.

Also, medical devices?! Hospitals can/do buy dedicated lines with QoS guarantees and then monitor their own networks' use of those lines; all of that is 100% allowed under NN... so unless your argument is that it would be a net good to add medical devices to the Internet of Crap ecosystem, this is a fantastic argument in favor in net neturality ;-)

> You can't do this with electrons.

Huh?! yes, you absolutely can.

We happen to mostly use photons these days, but I'm having a really hard time seeing why this distinction between "you can only use the electron for x,y,z" and "you can only use the photon for x,y,z" is anything but completely arbitrary.

If I happen to use a tranmission medium that uses electrons instead of photons, does that suddenly mean my ISP should be bound by NN regulations? Thats... rather confusing.

As much as I would like to have something different for the browser (such as Scheme, as originally envisioned, or Lua, which would have been a better fit), the world has moved on.

Only hope is to compile to javascript or webassembly (or "transpile", as js folks like to call it).

This would be an alternative to ADFS. It solves a big problem, because for many customers of cloud services, you’re paying for 99.9% reliability from the service provider, but the ADFS farm in your office or in another cloud is a single point of failure with a lower uptime commitment.

Something that helped me understand why this problem is significant: the things you mention as giving an account of color perception are only accounting for a brain system which evolves through states having structure which is isomorphic to fluctuations of colors in subjective experience[0]. However, the philosophical question isn't about whether you can create such a mapping, it's about reconciling the fact that if you look around your environment it's like something, and what it's like is importantly not a bunch of neurons. And yet when we look inside brains, we only find neurons. So if we want to say that the experience of colors can be explained physically as well, then there should be some physical place where e.g. redness is occurring rather than electro-chemical flux of neuron interaction.

[0] Another subtlety here is that the brain states having structure isomorphic to something in subjectivity doesn't necessarily make sense. It would on the assumption that everything is 'structural', but that's not an assumption everyone is willing to make. (You can find demonstrations that mathematics and the sciences can only deal in terms of structure, which is why for their practitioners it makes sense to ignore anything non-structural—but this is very different from a demonstration that everything actually is structural.) In that case, in order to create this mapping, we have to create another structure (for instance, a taxonomy of colors names and relationships between colors), and we can configure that structure in a way which is intended to reflect some moments of subjective experience. Now that structure could be potentially be found isomorphic to some evolving brain states, while to say that the subjective experience itself was isomorphic is likely nonsensical.

Thanks for writing that up, I linked to it from the issue. FWIW I agree with you that shell history should be a simple format, and even ad-hoc parseable via Unix tools. zsh uses simple : and ; delimiters. JSON is more complex, and binary formats like protobuf are way out.
Yes, it's not completely safe. In a beginner tutorial, if you allow arbitrary HTML you should state that it shouldn't be done that way in a real app.

Exactly what kind of "sub-standard" are we talking about, here? Sleeping in a tent definitely is better than in a house that might fall on you or electrocute you.

Ed: I like the idea of dialing back some building standards, but I'm worried about defining the conditions where it would be allowed (in particular, making sure it doesn't become a de facto default), and whether it would in fact be logically equivalent to just living in tents.
It’s new if you’re not informed about identity as a technology area. Some people in that space consider SAML2 to be outdated!

The beauty of a federated identity system is that you keep your credentials away from business partners. If you were a corporate customer of Dropbox relying on them to host your identity, you were kind of fucked when they had an account breach. If you used federated identity, Dropbox never had access to your account credentials.

Federated identity also lets you control posture and control access better. Perhaps your email system requires multi-factor auth, but your time card system does not, unless you are approving expenses. You can build that “step up” to multi factor auth on your servers, and use a single MFA credential to do so.
